Hello everyone and welcome to episode 12
of my let's play. I'm officially back from vacation
and feeling super refreshed and ready to go.
Bee how are you doing, did you miss me?
So today everyone I think it is finally time
that we move from our current
starter village to a
brand new area.
This feels like a really big moment for us. I have so many plans
and so many things to do and we're by no means
abandoning this area but it is
time to start a little bit of a new adventure.
Let's begin. Come on Scooter
its time for us to check out our new home.
Welcome to the jungle. When I started this
world I knew that I wanted to build in all of the different biomes
in this one area. So about
three or four separate build.
We have our first one started right there
and this is the location of where we're gonna be doing the second one.
This jungle temple is super important
and I want to put sort of a monument
somehow in this area. This was where that lovely creeper
explosion was (episode 1) yeah.
Theres a lot of stuff we can do down here Scooter. Before I begin on any
massive projects we definitely
need to work on getting a starter house
set up in this area. So I wanna pick out a spot for that today!
The jungle is not easy to traverse at all.
Oh hey theres a kitty!
Cool.
So I'm kinda liking the look of this tree.
I don't know, I feel like when you're building in a jungle you always end up
picking a tree and gravitating towards that. That one is a good tree let's go see it.
I think this is the spot. This is the tree I was looking at. Theres the temple.
Theres the village.
We're gonna be able to see a lot of things in the birch forrest over here.
We can see the megataga from here and our
pirate area is just over this way. Let's see if I can see it
to make sure the distance is okay. Yeah so pirate area
is indeed far enough away from my tree that I think it can have its own area.
Alright so now the fun part!
I need to clear myself a space in this jungle, maybe I'll time-lapse it
that could be fun.
Alright so this is looking much better!
So I didn't really clear out a massive area, I wanted to keep some of the foliage around here
but for now we can actually work with this tree which is fantastic!
I guess I've got nothing to do now other than to
start construction so we can actually set up out here.
I need some materials. Let's go gather materials.
Oh hey theres a-
aww! Do you want to be my friend?
Wait I don't have one that color, hang on.
Okay I could only find nine seeds so hopefully
this parrot wants to be my friend. Hey...
Please.
Oh for goodness sake!
I'll come back for you I guess.
Oh creeper! Creeper. Creeper. No no no!
Noo not near my doggo.
Doggo. Doggo. Scooter!
Scooter stop walking away from me.
The world is dangerous you've gotta stay at the village.
It's safe here.
I'm also definitely gonna need some scaffolding for this project.
I only have 37 so there we go! A whole stack.
Right next on the list of building supplies that I require
is sand stone and I know just the place to get that.
In the dessert
Heck yeah!
Okay I'm just gonna go down on this cave here
and try to collect a little bit of sand stone, right below the layer of sand.
Zombie I see you, I want nothing to do with you. Please go away.
Excuse me.
No thanks.
Alright I think that looks good, I don't need a ton of sand stone
for this its just one of the accent blocks that I'd like to use.
So let's head back and smelt that now.
So I wanted to use smooth sand stone not
regular sand stone so I am just gonna shove a bunch of this in here to be smelted.
Thats pretty much even.
Oh I'm out of fuel!
I've never actually properly come through and put a bunch of fuel in here
but now that we have the blaze farm going I should be fueling it with that.
Oh well, this is fine for right now.
Next up on my list of things that I need to gather
is some warped stuff.
I would love to work with these warped planks so we gotta go get them.
Almost forgot my gold. So close.
So close to forgetting my gold, okay got it!
Right back at our little pirate area
still haven't fixed up this, I promise I will.
Just one of those things I'm too excited about the other stuff.
So warped forrest is this way.
And of course as per usual
ghasts.
Oh my gosh what a view!
With the fog off I can see everything!
Gosh okay ignore me ignore me
please ignore me.
Just gonna collect a little bit more of this. I can actually come up here
and get some of this nylon but I forgot my silk touch this time.
I'll get it eventually then I'll be able to grow the mushrooms
actually in the overworld!
For now though 22 should about do it.
Oh magma on my bridge.
Why! Why! Why!
Geez.
I'm gonna pretend you didn't do that.
I really need to work on getting some ice and
some soul sand for these tunnels. They would be so much easier to get through
if I just set that up.
While we're on the topic of speeding up that tunnel
I do think it'd be about time for us to go and actually
finally get some ice from a frozen ocean.
I don't actually know where a frozen ocean is.
I've never managed to find one in all of the exploring that we've done.
So I think it's about time that we get around to that.
Alright Scooter come on we're going on an adventure can you hop in
the boat for me.
Pretty please?
Oh before I leave! I almost forgot.
This is my silk touch pick. I actually wanted to make that netherite.
A bunch of you suggested that I upgrade my tools
before anything else and I think thats a great suggestion!
So this is our first netherite tool.
Bam! Oh it's so pretty!
It looks like enchanted stone. Thats okay.
I love it, I love it, I really do.
The village is looking more and more epic
every time we leave it and soon we'll have some more things to look up
at the jungle.
Okay so it looks like along this shore it kinda
ends right here. I'm gonna follow the direction
of these extreme hills instead.
Theres a whole little dark oak forrest here
that I really love! I've never actually explored this area here
so Scooter you stay put. I'm gonna hop up here
and see whats going on.
Really beautiful biomes connecting
together here oh my gosh!
Alright so nothing crazy- oh wait!
Well thats something a little bit crazy...
Good eye Scooter! Let's go check it out.
This village looks so cool!
Look at this so they've got these amazing bridges.
They've got an iron golem.
Oh my gosh let's stop at their little wharf.
I really like this layout.
Hey what have we got? Potatoes! I think you can keep your potatoes to be honest.
I love the little floating islands.
It looks great!
Hey farmer, 20 wheat thats not bad.
There are SO many cool villages in this seed
it's hard to even believe.
This is another really cool one!
We also had the flower forrest that looked absolutely epic!
We have the other one near a swamp
and our sunflower plains that looks awesome.
And now we have this one.
Theres so much going on!
This one is fairly small tho
and theres not much to loot in terms of chests but -
ooh!
Oh wow. Thats what I came for, perfect!
So this is not crazy far from our base.
Wow! What a view!
Okay we've got a polar bear, please be kind to me.
Oh you have a baby!
Not gonna go near that. Mama bears are mean!
Oh theres another one oh what the heck.
Theses icebergs have been taken over by polar bears!
Scooter you've gotta stay in the boat for this one.
I'm just gonna take a little bit of ice.
Oh wow this is satisfying!
I love this.
Alright I've filled up on ice a little bit
I'm actually gonna take the coordinates of this area
so that I can come back whenever I need to.
Maybe even make a nether tunnel here.
We're not gonna be building in this area it's just gonna be for gathering ice
or snow or whatever I need.
 
Home sweet home!
Oh it's beautiful.
I absolutely adore this village. I'm gonna be a little bit sad to move
into the jungle but at the same time not because of course we're not very far away.
We'll still be able to come back and continue building in this area.
I am a very bad turtle mother because I almost forgot
that I have an egg over here.
 
It's just been sitting here uncared for.
I should really take care of that.
You can actually silk touch these eggs.
 
There we go now we have a turtle egg.
Thats perfect!
If I hatch this turtle egg on a beach
that beach should become the turtle's home beach that it'll always return to.
So I'm gonna do that. Put the turtle
right here. There we are!
And some torches cuz I ain't messing with spawning.
And now we wait.
I don't mind waiting cuz I'm waiting for my sandstone to smelt anyways.
There you go cows!
I knew you were hungry.
Bella and Dorro you doing okay?
Everybody's looking beautiful!
The sheep are being sheep.
Oh it's a lovely day in the village!
Alright little egg its me and you
against the world tonight.
I don't know what this fence is gonna do but it felt important.
You know while I'm out on this island
I may as well use my time to do the interior
over here, I've never actually done it.
I did go on vacation so I have an excuse.
Still we could use some flooring or something at the very least.
Spruce wood seems like a good choice with the flooring over here.
Nice and beachy.
Now we need a flooring on the next floor which is also spruce but slabs.
I'm gonna bring the wall down on this side
it'll make this side less circular
but I think it'll make sense for a staircase to go over here.
Maybe some pillars in the corners for some extra support.
Yeah!
That looks pretty cool.
Alright I'm happy with this interior. Obviously it has nothing in it right now
but we can climb up and down in here and actually get to the next layer.
Which is the main thing it was missing.
The sun is setting. It's turtle protection time!
Oh boy! They're spawning. Okay it's time!
 
Oh Scooter what are you doing in the boat you're not helpful.
You cannot have any turtle eggs.
 
Excuse you, nope!
 
Luckily they make a weird gurgling sound
before they surface so
they're actually really easy to spot.
It's midnight.
So far only two intruders.
Yes! It's cracking oh my gosh!
Please hatch that'd be so cool.
I don't think its going to on the first night but thats really good progress!
Alright the sun is rising, our egg
hasn't hatched but it appears it is getting quite
a lot safer out around here so I can go back to work!
Alright the turtle is safe and sound and not yet hatched.
I'm just gonna use the rest of the nights to actually sleep
instead of staying awake so it'll be safe for a while.
I would like to head back into our jungle
and actually get to work on our brand new base.
Because I have some BIG ideas for in here
and if I don't get started we're never gonna get to finish them!
Here is our tree. The first thing I wanna do
and what I want to do for every tree in this jungle
is I would really like to customize the vanilla trees.
 
Building trees in Minecraft can be really hard. I've been building trees
for a really long time. They're one of my favorite things to build.
But they're a challenge!
So I think if we work with these vanilla ones
adding roots, it'll be really good.
Gotta set up a little crafting area. I should set up a little barrel here as well.
Just so I can have a spot to put all of the stuff I'm not immediately building with.
The first thing I need is a way up into this tree.
The obvious thing to do here is put up a ladder but
I'm not about doing the obvious ways of things.
So I'm actually gonna do
a spiral staircase heading up this tree.
I actually have a block by block tutorial on a tree house if you're interested in that
I'll link it down below.
We're not gonna be building that tree house but its a good reference if
you're not used to building things like this.
Alright how are we looking? Yes! This is exactly what I want.
 
Oh my gosh it spirals so nicely already!
 
 
 
I am gonna have to get rid of these branches.
I'm gonna add my own branches to this tree to customize it in
the places that I want.
I'm being a little picky, sorry tree.
I think I want a layer right here.
I'm just gonna work this pathway up.
Until I get about right there.
K, I'm getting a little carried away!
I forgot that I wasn't going all the way to the top.
All I'm gonna do is build four blocks out.
 
 
On all of the sides.
The vines make this a little challenging not gonna lie.
Oh my gosh!
I'm gonna end up dying building this tree house.
 
At each of the ends I'm gonna do four blocks.
 
 
 
This is something that I want to be able to build on
and expand throughout this series.
So it's starting out on more of the simple side.
 
But we're gonna expand it, we're gonna add bridges
and we're gonna add trees.
We're gonna add buildings on the ground.
Slowly we'll be able to build up this whole area!
Of course in any good house we're gonna need a roof over our heads
so I'm gonna add some pillars to help with that.
I'm using stripped wood again, I just like the more neutral tone of the stripped wood.
I think it matches a little bit better with the sand stone.
 
I'm liking the feel of it so far.
Oh my gosh!
It's massive, I really like it tho.
Wow!
 
It's gonna be so cool.
 
 
It's a really big circle but it doesn't attach to the trunk super well..
 
What I'm thinking is I add a second layer right below this one.
It'll be a little bit easier to access hopefully.
 
I don't know! I'm gonna try it.
 
I'm ruining all of my lovely craftsmanship on the staircase but thats okay.
 
Yup I think something like that definitely solves the problem I was having!
Okay gotta get more blocks.
View from the temple so far.. Epic!
 
 
 
I'm trying to achieve the look like its hanging but still supported.
 
I'm bringing the support beams way down past where they should go.
 
 
 
 
I think I'd like to do some ladders right here.
Maybe just let the vines grow
to get up and down the main circle.
I'm liking this shape.
 
 
With some lanterns hanging and a roof on
thats pretty epic I think, its a good starter home.
 
Perfect. Thats way easier to get up and down!
 
I don't want this area to be closed off
I think adding some trapped doors as a little bit of railing
could really help.
 
 
 
 
Ahh thats looking so much better!
 
Thats so fun!
This is going to be the perfect place to have a little work station.
A little lookout maybe a bed..
We can see so many different things.
 
I actually really love it.
But its not complete yet!
Because the vibe of this jungle is going to be not only
to build up in the tree tops.
But to also take advantage of all of the amazing land!
So I would like to build a little hut.
 
 
 
 
 
First thing I gotta workout is the roof of course.
 
Unlike with our starter village we are going
to be doing steeper roofs in this area.
Little bit more fantasy-esque.
 
 
 
 
Down here it'll look a lot more
like a big tall grand house.
 
 
I love the idea of everything
looking like it runs together.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ooh gosh, hi!
Every time I start talking one of your kind
pops out of the woods. I don't appreciate it.
Goodbye.
I did need some bones..
I think the style is well established.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I like it.
I'm happy.
I could totally see myself living here!
This is so cute.
 
 
 
 
I've been adding little pieces of bamboo in spots...
 
 
 
Just in general, loving decorating the jungle!
 
This hole in the ground here is starting to drive me insane not gonna lie.
 
 
Alright looking good, I'm quite proud of this!
Of course I do still have to work on the interior.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
That looks like a cute kitchen to me!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So there is a fire.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a nice little loft with a cute view.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I am in love with this space so far.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Parrots oh parrots, come here!
 
I have a home in the jungle where you belong.
 
 
 
 
I love having the parrots follow me!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You guys are gonna love the tree house I promise!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Alright so I have two birds willing to sit in the tree house.
This one is more of a free bird.
 
You can sit there and watch the construction.
 
 
With that everyone I think that is the end
of today's episode.
Thank you so much for hanging out with me today!
It has been absolutely lovely.
 
 
 
Thanks for watching everyone, bye.
