I Built A MASSIVE ZOO with Every Animal in Minecraft Hardcore

I built a massive ZOO with every animal in Minecraft hardcore. Today in hardcore minecraft I build one of the biggest projects I have ever done. It has taken me 2 months of work from gathering materials, building finding and catching animals and so much more. I hope you enjoy the video =)

Sorry for the wait everyone, this was honestly one of the biggest, toughest and most challenging projects I have ever attempted. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. What should I build next? ❤❤

CASTLE ❤ Time to move out of that starter house and into a castle worthy of a king of building like you.

[@KhasAdun1990]

I kinda wish there had been a final part getting some glory shots of the finished zoo and maybe a before and after. That looked like a lot of work.

[@hermitwatcher8997]

Yes!!! The wolves will shake off the water if they got wet. They also are a darker gray when they are wet. It’s an animation I’ve always known them to do.

[@effaminie279]

That's what we did for kids to go back zoo

[@kiwicat3346]

Not sure if you will come back to the zoo but there are some variants of mobs specific to different biomes. Like desert bunnies, snow bunnies, and snow foxes. They could all have their own enclosures to add some more variety. Also not sure if you will be moving your world to the new update or not but if so it would be cool to see some camels and sniffers :D

[@dogmug_]

2:37 At the zoo in my state, there’s a big bridge connecting the entrance to the zoo with a walkway made of bricks dedicated for people who donated/passed away. I don’t believe that was your original intention, but that’s what it reminded me of, so I thought it was super sweet. 💙

[@yo_top8281]

Your builds are amazing, glad I saw this vid in my recommended. Two things you should know: 1. Turtles will only begin hatching if you don't sleep through the nights 2. Dolphins will drown themselves if you're out of range for their A.I to pathfind and resurface. (So it's kinda pointless having them as they'll due anyways). 😬

[@valkeakirahvi]

Really? That sucks, I'd love to have some dolphins in my zoo :(

also, afaik turtle eggs only hatch with access to the sky

[@Lucas_1121]

Actually that’s not true. I’ve built an aquarium with a huge dolphin tank and I’ve never had to respawn them

[@NIQQU1]

@@Lucas_1121 I tried building a dolphin aquarium in Minecraft, they all died at some point. There were cod droppings which proved they had died and not respawned - when a dolphin dies, it drops cod. There was also no live cod put in the enclosure beforehand so it's not like the dolphins killed some cod and then de spawned. I also added no roof so they were able to go up and breathe properly. I don't know why your dolphins haven't died, but this was my personal experience 💀

[@Lucas_1121]

All my dolphins died once and it was because my friend killed them so that’s the only time for me. They’ve never died on their own

[@DaNintendude]

If you have a Channeling Trident, I'd recommend breeding the Mooshrooms and using lightning to turn the new ones into Brown mooshrooms (probably better to do outside of the Zoo, so you don't accidentally kill any of the other ones)

[@renevos5822]

I genuinly think this is the coolest Minecraft Hardcore challenge I've ever seen. It's such a great combination of insane building, but also has that videogame completionist vibe with collecting all the mobs.

[@Shokupanko]

This is probably the best zoo and aquarium Minecraft hardcore build yet! It’s so aesthetically pleasing

[@ladyairili]

You missed bats. I was hoping to see some bat representation as bats were the first mob I ever added to the zoo I'm making on my server, and they were a bit tricky to get since there's not a lot of info on them. But your zoo is far superior to mine in every other category. Thanks for the inspiration, especially on the allays. I wouldn't have thought to include them in a zoo.

[@BlueNerdMC]

Thanks AJ, yeah someone else mentioned the bats, I completely forgot so I will try and find a spot and build an enclosure in another episode, I knew i would end up forgetting one, lol. =)

[@mr_earwig6477]

​@@BlueNerdMC if you wanted to, you could also try adding Arctic Foxes to the Zoo as well

[@BjorkMinecraft]

Looks amazing! I can see how it took two months! Edit: If you want to be able to buy unlimited name tags without the villager's trades locking, you should look into ianxofour's voidless void trading setup. It's super easy to put together in a single player world, and it'll save you so much time and effort.

[@chloecoledegitz1047]

You have a RARE SICK PANDA!!! Take good care of that baby! He's got 5 hearts only.

[@dillypickle4673]

Honestly the only thing I would personally say could get some work is the Japanese theme in the panda enclosure, since they are native to southern China. Otherwise absolutely spectacular build, fun watch.

[@_imdope]

Great zoo Nerd! Only thing I would've made the panda's enclosure more of a Chinese style since they are China's national animal, but overall I don't mind the Japanese theme on it! Great work as always :)

[@barbararauch4778]

There's only one word for it - WOW. Now that's dedication! Such patience in searching, trapping and dragging all those animals. And you have such an entertaining way with the dialogue too. I laughed when you named one Jon Bon Jovi. If you ever get the urge to do a tutorial again, the Parrot Enclosure would be a great one.

In regards to trader llamas, to keep them from despawning you need to tame them. After that they will never leave (under normal circumstances) no name tag required. Also… I wish you good luck if you make a hostile mob zoo

This is my favorite build you’ve done since your last castle.

[@jamesdocherty513]

THIS IS INSANE i feel bad for bats tho every one forgets them

[@tylermorris9535]

Awesome build! Though realistically polar bears are solitary animals meaning they don't live in herds but alone

[@aceofaces05]

@BlueNerd doesn’t the copper oxidize anyway? You can build the structure with copper blocks and overtime won’t they oxidize anyway? I could be wrong

[@BlueNerdMC]

Yeah they do oxidize over time, but they do take longer when they don't have a few blocks gap between them. I just wanted it to be seen built in the green stage as i'm not a huge fan of the 1st orange stage. But it would of still oxidized over time =)

[@Rich_Youngin_Matthias]

Wonderful i love it so much 👏 I was thinking you could bulid on the other side of the same island an expansion but with mobs, like an alternative zoo that is opposite in mood to the current bright, happy and colorful one

[@Seaweed_Brain_3]

Legend has it that Blue is still waiting for the turtles to hatch

[@IamGrief887]

For future water projects, if you use kelp to stack the water source blocks, you might be able to save yourself a little time. Beautiful work. I would love to see this on a server.

[@chickeyd9579]

This is the new definition of "SERIOUS dedication"!!! Absolutely gorgeous and my favorite zoo build of all that I've seen. It's the kind of place I can spend all day IRL and feel like it was just not enough time. Each enclosure is just perfectly suited for the animals. I just felt awful for you when you lost some on the way back. Next.....I think you might allow yourself a bit of a rest. These last two videos were ginormous efforts! Make an ice cream truck or a little minigame If you need to put something out there. I know we'll all watch it.

[@brycedobbe5782]

Such a good zoo and video, absolutely love it. If there’s only one thing I could think to add it would be bats in an enclosure

[@thea_the_polar_bear]

It's the best and most creative Minecraft zoo I've ever seen. I truly LOVE all the small details and creative ways of decorating. I definitely think your talent for that, is going to be why people would watch your videos over others. You have an amazing sense of aesthetic and how to build original and innovative

[@user-nc7ie7ly3t]

My son just got Minecraft for Christmas and his favourite treat now is to watch one of your videos when he's finished all his stuff for school. He thought your zoo was amazing and it inspired him to make his own mini builds for his animals. Your videos are fabulous but also friendly and give great and clear instructions for all ages.

[@veselindimov307]

Amazing video, as always! I'm just stunned by the amount of time, effort and dedication you put in your builds! And the results are way, way, WAY better than what one could imagine before watching the video! Idea for your next hardcore build: On the other side of the island build a zoo for hostile mobs, but make it in such a way, that it is contrasting with this zoo! I think it will just be the greatest thing ever build in MC.

[@SHAMII_2000]

This is so better then my Country's local zoo 😅

[@EduardoRodriguez-np1ql]

I thought the zoo build was amazing. My favorite enclosure was the polar bear and parot one. You shoud definitely add the camel and the sniffer, and you forgot to add the bats.

[@BooksMusicMe17]

Something about the way you shaped/textured that ice cave and pool looked really, really great. And I love the parrot enclosure! So frustrating how you can't have animals that teleport to the player roaming free but maybe you could add one or two of those chickens - sorry, fat parrots - after all so there's some life and movement on the ground. :D

[@ethanhahn6248]

Amazing video! Just caught upnto the series! I do have some ideas in mind you can do. If you had villagers running around the zoo it would make it feel like its an active zoo. You should also consider making a map room somewhere so you can have a nice over view of everything you've built so far!
