Just an idea, but id really like to see some kind of "I upgraded my Workspaces" Video. Like a Lumberjack-shack where you're choping spruce and acacia wood. Also you could upgrade the ride into the mines. Like some random little caves you go through while you descend to get more deepslate or tuff. But of course build what you feel like, because its still all incredible.

[@zilverzeven]

Great idea that i would love to see

[@josephehlers2007]

I feel that would be a great idea, and it would maybe also include interiors of builds he has set aside, more like a “clean up, improve, and small builds” episode that’s just him adding even more life and beauty into his already amazing world :D

[@ottensein]

@@josephehlers2007 i think that idea on its own would be great for everyone wachtching every episode, but it wouldnt perform as a video on its own, so i think combining it with a "big cave transformation" or something would be smart

[@josephehlers2007]

@@ottensein It would be smart, and it would do well with everyone who watched every episode and people just discovering the series 👍 Besides, caves are awesome

The castle looks so good!! The only suggestion I can make is that the telescope looks like it's about to fall out of the slot in the observatory. Maybe add a large gear underneath to support it, and explain how it can move? Happy birthday, and keep doing what you're doing, it's amazing!!

[@fWhip]

Cool idea!

[@Epic.Maw.]

@@fWhipHappy Birthday fWhip, I am replying to you because I wanted to give you a tip and I wasn’t sure if you knew… Anyways, if you wear leather boots you won’t fall into powdered snow! Also great video! :D

[@etekplays4057]

This is unreal at this point. Someone needs to come out at mojang and credit this guy with having the greatest Minecraft world to ever exist and continue to exist even besides the fact that it’s hardcore. It’s so impressive. Only thing I keep thinking now is how you can keep adding lore to it or factions for a story

[@erinhm0404]

Fwhip: let’s look at the castle from a distance Me: **squinting hard to make out shapes and colours** nice

[@TadimKahnke-pm1rs]

yes literally

[@ThatKingNoob]

Chiseled tuff is arguably the best block in minecraft. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FWHIP!!!

[@edibleapeman]

In a previous video you asked for name suggestions for the village. I suggested that you name it Way, enabling a path to Way and a way to Path. In a similar vein, I would suggest naming this build the Castle High, or just High Castle - then, you could ALSO have a "high"way connecting it to the other builds. I've loved this entire series, as I appreciate your focus on roads and interconnectedness, with all those farms laid down in-between everything. It's so beautiful!!

[@Spare_Sock]

Copper Aging tip: if you place a layer of oxidized blocks down then place copper you want to age on top it will go faster than spacing it out. If you place oxidized slabs underneath that will also help speed it up more. Hopefully that could save you some time. The space under path would probably work well since you're around for projects and gathering materials a lot

[@volehunter]

Having the castle on to of the hill reminds me of visiting Neuschwanstein castle as you have to hike up to it or pay for transportation up the mountain. Visiting all the castles in Germany was a fun trip. We even stayed in one. If you decide to go, make sure you go when the Rothenburg festival is happening. It is worth going to.

[@prof-quack]

I personally like this castle and the idea that it’s very difficult to access. However, I recently got done climbing a 13,000 foot tall mountain at 45+ degrees, so I can tell you that the natural slope is NOT gonna cut it for inaccessibility, hence the wandering trader. My thoughts on improving the mountain to fit the lore include maybe making some ice-spike fields, cliffs, or glaciers. Basically some kind of terrain detail that makes it fit along those lines.

[@Stam1o]

I'm glad I can finally actually look at these a day before now that I'm caught up! Happy Late Birthday as well.

[@popice4200]

The tuff castle is giving me Winterfell vibes from Game of Thrones- absolutely love it!!!

[@audra_kazz]

@@popice4200 Exactly what I was about to say. It really does give off Winterfell vibes. Love it also

[@ryanhessler8966]

@@popice4200 I was thinking The Wall. I was waiting for whitewalkers to show up 😂

[@thejonbmc]

I wanted the copper trap door recipe to be ingots instead of blocks, but not having to deal with the aging process on those was worth using the blocks instead. Oh well....

[@hellbullets.]

2:40 missed opportunity to say "not too tuff to find"

[@arbitrarySalamander]

The wandering trader is the resident wizard who happens to have teleportation powers which the castle residents are unaware of (unaware of the powers) but hes just kind of there and they just accept it because he knows astronomy and they need the map charts for their trade with new papyrus :3

[@Gath-bk5ko]

Get yourself some leather boots when building around those mountains. Keeps you from falling into powdered snow.

[@LSassassin08]

This world makes me so happy. It's silly how many times I'm smiling whilst watching, so thank you!

[@crabbus4117]

Man, that castle looks pretty *tuff* to build. :D

[@nevaehdale4957]

Lol 🤣🤣

[@fWhip]

:'D

[@FalnaAnimations]

Happy Birthday Fwip!!!🥳🎉🎁🎂🫂👍✨️

[@TheSphero]

Fun fact about powdered snow; its our fault. The biome update that added it had a community poll to decide what biome was getting overhauled first, and mountain won the vote. So we have no one to blame but ourselves for voting for 'snowier snow'.

[@paranoidpugarts1094]

The castle looks absolutely fantastic, I love how the grey colour pallet stands out against the snowy biome and really draws the eye up to it from a distance. Also the little patches of brown and teal from the mud, copper and prismarine really bring some life to the grey :D. Hope you have a wonderful birthday and this was a fun episode!

[@ДимаЦветков-ь2р]

hello fWhip, for faster oxidation of any copper blocks, you need to place already oxidized copper blocks next to the blocks that need to be oxidized, they will significantly speed up the oxidation.

[@elydricgaming4228]

you mentioned having other blocks using the snow layer mechanic, which is exactly what a modpack: conquest reforged does. It's a blast to build with, and you can spend hours on small builds just with detailing 😆

[@heyitzshoto8912]

You should start aging all the copper trapdoors in your copper aging facility because of how easy it is to get oxidized copper blocks from trial chambers.

[@The3gg]

Fun fact, telescopes never extend our of the dome of observatories. That's a pop science myth. The point of the dome is to protect the telescope from weather

[@MaggieJaneSimpson]

Happy birthday! As an inspiration for the future, I would like to suggest more of the "magical" builts like the iron farm. It's strange to me that only one building is built with magic like that in the whole world. It's just an idea though, so do as you please. Hope you have a great birthday 😊

[@ExcuseMeWhat13]

You referenced an airship dock. I know you want to. Build one. Build an airship. In fact, why don't you build several? Give them several colors to enforce the idea of multiple factions @etekplays4057 had. I know you want to. Just do it. JUST. DO. IT.

[@lewisbaker9894]

That view from the bridge at 3-:40 is honestly breathtaking. I love the observatory so much

[@Ash_20_08]

Happy birthday fWhip! Hope you have a lovely day! 🎉🎉

[@questionablyrealzoo]

I was today years old when I learned I'm older than fwhip... absolutely wild. Happy birthday, and thank you for always making fun, creative, and interesting content!

[@ShadowsINthe_Dark]

As a Hermitcraft watcher, the colors you used for the mountain shading near the castle with the deep slate and snow and blue ice gives me such decked out 2 vibes and I am LOVING IT. Amazing builds!!!! The castle looks sooooo cool!

[@liamconnollyst]

The castle looks very good I did like some of the creative uses of the various colours with the blocks texture plus more mountain terraforming and good amount of humour.

[@Jelle-1106]

Dead coral is such an underated block, i used it allways before 1.16

[@DestinyObake]

Man, that castle is never going to fall. I’ve never seen such an impenetrable castle! It’s so tuff! I’m not sorry.

[@ElizPike]

@fWhip Happy birthday hope you have a good day and everything looks good i read a comment that said to add a gear you could also add a support beam angled to help hold it up. Again hope you have a awesome birthday 🎂❤

[@jovishark]

i feel so seen! ive been hoping for a snow biome build for so long, im especially psyched that its a castle of all things. happy birthday fwhip!

[@Rysterio]

That castle really brought me back to he feeling of when you started the world with the episode three castle.

[@shard640]

i had started a mc world to hopefully be a long lasting one, and this is makin me wanna make a castle my mega base ive never used coral blocks much but they look great as a transition between packed mud and tuff

[@chickenguniya201]

Broo!!! You are just amazing...What a build...What a dedication...Lots of love from India💌

[@sarahmarie441]

Happy Birthday Fwhip!! Thanks for all the amazing things you create for us!

[@meddler-gz1ks]

Happy thirtieth birthday fWhip! Looking at the old castle contrasted with the new one must be such a satisfying experience, the evolution of your building style is just incredible

[@jackeganmeier5196]

You should consider doing a “polar express” style train track spiralling up the mountain to the castle leading from the city via some possible raised rail roads? Could add a cool layer of depth to the city and connection to the castle

[@Sanguine830]

I’m so glad you came to work on the mountain area, these mountains need some love too!

[@Flippo2022]

Love the look of the castle especially with the highlights HAPPY BIRTH DAY FWIP GET TO 1.7 MILLION SOON

[@frozennoob_6074]

For the basalt farm, I think you should add pistons on either side of you on a timer so you dont have to move your mouse, just hold the break button and let the pistons do the work for you!

[@icaruschained]

Your whole world is just so immersive and amazing, and every new addition just adds to that. It feels so alive. Also, happy birthday!

[@victorbessa5624]

your builds recently have been noticiably improving even more

[@ryantorres9083]

Hey FWhip! First of all great vid. Second, happy birthday! I know u mentioned adding an airship docking at the new castle. What if the design of it was similar to the wandering trader starship? I just think adding another one would be some fun lore stuffs.

[@itstaylor2137]

I have to say this is probably one of my favorite series on YT of all time.

[@faronafton2516]

Hey fWhip, I think something that would be really helpfull for terraforming the underwater section at the docks would be to use a water bottle on the dirt underwater so that you dont have to break and replace it and you could just turn it into mud immediately, you could also do that to recycle the dirt your breaking back into the project you're working on! BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[@garythesnail8674]

Happy birthday! The castle is next level, especially your skill with shading. My two cents on the telescope.. I think modifying it to more of a cylindrical shape will make it look less goofy. Most irl telescopes aren't flared, but are more so a set of cylinders. So the one you have now comes off a bit cartoony

[@joshknechtel5104]

Build looks freaking sick dude! I really love what you did with the pallet and the copper trapdoors around the windows!

[@CØSM1Xッ]

Happy early birthday!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@roastedtoaster7632]

For the next field you plant please to a nether wart field with lava instead of water I think it'd be a cool effect

[@jacksonbutler4187]

Happy birthday fwhip! Your videos keep me going in life. Keep doing what you’re doing you’re a blessing to the community

[@PeanutDudeYt]

You know it’s a good day when fWhip uploads

[@shay3975]

Your castle builds consistently blow my mind. I just wanna BE THERE.

[@LillyOfTheValley168]

Happy birthday Fwhip!! Loved the video and seeing all the planning come together. Maybe make the new castle a storage area for the snow and ice?

[@ByLR]

That is a pretty good castle! I think you should add crevices running down the mountain in front of the smeltingwater gates, to give a feel that the water has cut into the mountain over hundreds of years

[@LemonMemonMelons]

It may be a little late, and it's not quite a question as it is a suggestion. So, you know how you worked on the highlands? What if, though most likely a side project, you build your own biome? Either a biome in Minecraft that you could redo, or one that doesn't exist in Minecraft, and make it a reality! This would also be really fun around the spawn castle, or even the tuff one!! I just really want to see your take on this lol, and I think it would add a lot of life and character to your world!! (Don't get me wrong, your world does have a LOT of life and character.. I just want to know your opinion..)

[@kirab4483]

Y’ello! Hope you enjoy your birthday bro 💪✨ I wondered if you’re thinking about building like… a sewage system or something underneath Path, since the space under the terraforming lends itself to something like that. Plus, it could be a cool way to connect Path and the dwarven city

[@lavalazz7494]

Hi! While sitting on the stream I came up with the idea of pouring water under the ice (for the sound effect) that you added, on the back of the capstone. And it could also be a glacier that becomes a river running down into a default village. And the river could flow into a lake, and all around, there would be custom houses on the mountainsides (like Lungern in Switzerland). You're the best

[@DOEWU]

I love how fWhip isnt the tyical hardcore youtuber but still puts lots of effort in his vids. Keep it up!

[@lyrai09]

I really really love the color work. In particular I like the rocks you built up to support the castle - the dark colors really popped out against the snow! Also happy birthday!

[@kordellcurl7559]

Solution to the copper aging and that is to make a field for them or have underground caves where you are to building.

[@AshleyIsArtsy]

Happy birthday fwhip!!! Mine was on the 2nd, lol. I turned 25 and am also definitely not old.... The castle is super cool!! I LOVE the new tuff blocks and I knew they'd be perfect for a castle build, the snowy observatory fortress is such a cool vibe for one! Have a good bit of time off for your birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@DaedricFaZe]

I think itd be great to add a Norman Castle as an outpost but to change it up a bit by making it out of sandstone for New Papyrus. Kinda how Path has the spawn chunk mud castle watching over the bay.

[@calebschuller5686]

I’ve been waiting for a build in the snowy mountains!! Looks awesome!

[@jimyvanloock3510]

10:49 I can just hear the groan of pure annoyance. Powder snow, whose idea was that again?

[@gijskramer1702]

Mine, sorry. Just get leather boots

[@TheSphero]

Ours; it was added in the biome update, which had a community vote for what biome was going to get overhauled first. Mountain won the vote with 'snowier snow'.

[@gianna-m9e]

happy birthday! i love the tuff blocks, and the castle looks great.

[@kuzumati8710]

if you want to instamine deepslate, theres a mod for fabric 1.21 called deepslate tweaks. It basically makes deepslate like stone where you can instamine it like stone with haste II and eff V. But I too think they should make a way to instamine it in vanilla

[@DenisPavlik-bb2dt]

[@Seth-pd1kq]

This is absolutely amazing Fwhip keep up the hard work and can’t wait to see what’s coming next!!!

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Perhaps there should be an additional effect that can be _added_ to Efficiency V and Haste II, to allow insta-mining more things, including deepslate. Maybe a potion, or an area effect from a new passive mob that spawns in deepslate layers and can be tamed. Or, and I know this sounds crazy, but bear with me here, maybe just add full stacks of desirable bulk materials (sand, deep slate, cobbled deep slate, clay, mud, ...) to the trial spawner loot tables, instead of, you know, potatoes and junk. Crazy, right? (It's not like peaceful mode is realistically playable anyway...) 30 really isn't old. It's not young any more, but it's not old either. 50+ is old. 30-49 is middle-aged. So congrats, you are now middle-aged. Although I should warn you, years slip by faster, the older you get.
