I Tried Minecraft Skyblock, but it's HARDCORE Survival (#1)

[@fWhip]

Hope you enjoy the brand new series!! What do you think I should try to complete in skyblock?? If you enjoy the series be sure to leave a like to show me you want to see more episodes!

[@GetGood_1023]

I’d love to see you complete the task of getting infinite resources with villages and stuff 😊

[@ahendz1390]

try to create as many different biomes as you can! maybe as islands off the main island

[@nursinggeekgames8242]

Holy moly, you made a lot of progress really fast!

[@multiboxingtheory8602]

I'm a big fan fwhip but I feel like you're only doing this challenge for views and because your friend gemini did it, and you thought you might as well jump on the bandwagon to get easy views. :/ i hope i'm wrong and that you're doing this because you really want to and not just as a way to get easy views.

[@thesilentone4024]

I do i do. Question can you get a bucket of water and swim down it and try building next to the void and slowly building it up to where you started.

[@xisco5525]

Just a nice little trick: once you get access to moss and bonemeal, you won't need gravel to make dirt. 2x2 spruce tress also convert moss into podzol, so you can smelt cobble to create stone, spread moss onto that stone, grow a 2x2 spruce tree to turn the moss into podzol, and then break it without silk touch to obtain dirt.

[@fWhip]

oh wow! thanks for the tip!

[@Horangiverse]

@@fWhip also if you put the lava in a backwards stair you will no longer need to worry about losing cobble into the lava. A Little less important but still useful

[@notrohit]

@@Horangiverse I don't think you can put lava inside stairs, I think they can only be waterlogged

[@Horangiverse]

Kk maybe it was from an old update

[@petervisser8704]

@@Horangiverse yeah lava can not go iblocks like water can

[@Inkfal]

Imagine being a villager who got turned into a zombie, then when you finally get cured your on a small island in the middle of the void with a random dude smiling at you like a maniac while screaming ‘I’m not alone!’ Edit: Wow it seems like most people would just give up lmao

[@J3RB3ARR]

i personally would cry lol

[@TodoTheClapper]

I would go back to being a zombie

[@fWhip]

best friends FOREVER o.o

[@mrjoshua909]

I would probably jump

[@daandanx]

I like how the main island of skyblock has remained basically unchanged for the last 10+ years

19:38 if you look closely, he regenerates half a heart right before the witch brings him down to half a heart. that was a lot closer than it might seem.

@@Relzrin sorry to bother you but I watched that exact time and I think that’s weakness, and not poison. But it’s still very close though.

[@CheeseduckClaire]

It's so hard to estimate how long stuff like this takes. It's a 25 minute episode, but I would guess it took at least 10 hours, maybe even closer to 20. I hope you're enjoying the grind!

[@bllllllllackbirdie]

normal poeple would probably even take longer xd

[@andystermen144]

It’s the grind that always does me in.

Watching him crouch around makes me so nervous, those rails make ME feel safe as well lmao! Loving the new series!

[@dbseamz]

I know! I've been watching Geminitay do a similar challenge...she talks about how "chill" and "relaxed" that series is compared to, say, SMP content, but then she walks around on her bridges in 3rd person view and most of them don't have railings!

[@DogHoldsController]

well i know nothing bad is going to happen because its not like he would post a failed attempt so when he goes to the edge i'm like "this is fine"

This guys is so cool! Can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out 😊

[@RoyalHashbrown]

[@MaximumPanic]

I'm impressed you did all this! I'd be too afraid to take my finger off the crouch button the whole time. 😨

[@nigraiel7264]

Inwas once very confident… this trait of mine ended in the void not even three minutes later😅

[@magicalfairy02]

I found recently that in the control settings you can set crouch to toggle so you don't have to hold it. Really helps as long as you don't hit it again and fall

[@hopeless9975]

20:05 I love that they clarified that he hates witches *in Minecraft* meaning that he doesn't hate irl witches. I appreciate it :)

[@zayn5681]

IRL witches r fake

[@WanderingWolfe]

@@zayn5681 That depends on what you mean by witch. There is a certain lifestyle that meets the term that has been around for quite some time. They are as real as shamans and medicine men/women. If you mean the Biblical version. No, those aren't real witches because that is a gross mistranslation. Those are sorcerers or poisoners, and in one story a necromancer. Witchcraft in the form of supernatural acts and magic may or may not be real, with the general consensus leaning toward not, but that doesn't mean the folks calling themselves witch aren't. Most folks these days don't mean some green lady with warts who cackles and flies about while being frightened of a bit of detergent in water, except during Halloween. The language changes over time and people call themselves things for various reasons. It's really an interesting topic, overall.

[@bdoeden64]

Loved watching this, thanks for posting! Just a note on something I do when I start a new SkyBlock attempt: Like you, I create as much of a platform of cobblestone as needed to ensure I capture all seeds. After that, though, I create a cobblestone pillar at least 6 by 6, usually 10 by 10. I do this by creating a cobblestone layer by my base that is at least 2 blocks larger than the pillar I want to make. Then, just like the cobblestone farm, I create a place for the lava to flow from, and a place for the water to flow from opposite it 3 blocks away with both being elevated by one block so that the lava flows out immediately falling to the bottom of the world, waiting for it to hit the bottom, I then let the water loose, which creates cobblestone all the way to the bottom. I then repeat the process until I have my 9 by 9 pillar of cobblestone (actually 10 by 10 so that I have an outside wall so I don't fall off :)) . From that I usually create a descending staircase of cobblestone by mining the pillar. I go down about 9 to 11 blocks deep, clearing the middle as I go as well, and setting up torches as able, and then open up the outside wall toward my base. From there I create a cobblestone layer completely under my base plus a wide margin to ensure anything that falls lands on this new level or on the base. Finally, I gather all my dirt, replacing it with cobblestone so the base level of my base is cobblestone, and then put the dirt, where needed, on top of that for trees/farming etc. Eventually I move all the dirt out on to other new platforms extended from my base to allow for farm animals to spawn. Meanwhile I can continue mining the pillar to get all the way to the bottom of the world where I can create monster spawners that I don't have to worry about impacting my base. The pillars, by the way, are a great way to 'quickly' create a lot of cobblestone and make it easily mineable. Usually I make my initial living space out of the second level of my base (my basement ;)). I usually move my cobblestone farm into the basement so I don't have to worry about it starting a fire upstairs, and set up a 3 by 3 infinite water pool in the basement as well.

[@humeramunwar5496]

Long comment. Didnt read didnt care

[@beaniechiar25]

It’s always so stressful in the beginning😅 Making islands connected by bridges would be cool to see!! Can’t wait to see where you take this series!

Fwip complaining he doesent have food The glowberries on the chest: am I a joke to you?

Skyblock series are so much fun to watch. So glad you've started up a series!

[@ShinyMooTank]

0:32 You have one bucket. 0:59 You have two buckets. 2:04 You have one bucket again. Did you cheat because you messed up the lava placement?

[@candlecattmusic]

Love that you're doing hardcore skyblock at the same time Gem is! That's so cool! Loved the video, left a like and I'm already subscribed. 😁 Thanks for uploading fWhip!

[@vellefigz]

I’m so unbelievably excited for this! I hope it goes on as long as the current hardcore series, and longer! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@chrismSoundCloud]

You've actually made me wanna do Skyblock again. Wow. Ive been watching gems HCSB and I forgot about the early game grind which I love on every new world I'm on. Just coming back from a hardcore burn out myself, this was perfect timing. I think I'll try Skyblock again. Thank you for the inspiration. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@DrThrow]

I'm Soo excited for this new series

Yay fwhip thank you for finally uploading a skyblock series your the best

[@jennymay9793]

This was so much fun, can not wait for second episode, and it was interesting how different you did things, the witch usage to get the villagers was scary but so easy😁😎.

[@miralemdzinic5944]

Oh my God, I'm so hyped for this! I love Skyblock so much, and I have also built an entire city now in the sky and I got myself a variety of building blocks so far. For me, that's the most exciting Minecraft Mod ever. ❤️

[@familydesrosiers627]

I cant wait for the next episode! Love these types of series

[@milesclayborne]

Fun fact: torches don’t actually help plants grow at night. Plant growth is determined by how near or far a plant is from open sky not by light level. Also you didn’t need to bridge to the mangrove swamp for a second water source. If you create a dirt pit that’s 1 block in length and width but 2 blocks deep, place the original water source at the top of the pit and bone meal the bottom, sea grass will grow which creates a second water source at the bottom giving you 2 water sources. And last but not least, if you’re planning on building a villager trading hall make sure you’re not playing on 1.19 as there is a bug where villagers will not restock their trades unless they sleep which breaks most trading hall designs.

[@ermabarasona6761]

Why is there two buckets in the chest?? 0:59

[@gracepzm]

Woo, skyblock! :D Btw, I think the sapling needs to be in contact with at least 2 flowers to have a chance at spawning with a bee's nest.

[@slanphere]

you can actually make a villager in Minecraft sky block. All that has to be done is get an apple and harvest gold from the zombie pigment making a golden apple, and then capture a witch, which has a chance of throwing a potion of weakness. If you capture a zombie villager, and make the witch's splash potion of weakness hit the zombie villager, and then feed it a golden apple, it is cured.

[@azidal3755]

Like he does towards the end of the episode.

[@brandonr737]

Did you even watch the episode???

[@gamingpug2862]

Fun fact, the outpost on the map has a little tent will wool being used as coverage(if you get this wool, you have an early game bed to stop phantoms), only downside is pillagers spawning.

[@mintycheddar3854]

Even though many other YT creators have played Skyblock, I am thoroughly enjoying this. fWhip's relatively cautious approach is informative and helps me to be more comfortable with the risks involved. Focusing the next episode strategically around the villagers seems like the next logical step. Breed them up, start trading with them, and build an iron farm. Meanwhile, capturing a few piglins to get gravel to make dirt would be a good idea. That all seems to be standard SB play. What else could be done at this point that might be productive, if a little unusual? I might try building a pond for fishing. Yes, fishing is slow but can supply some useful resources at this stage. Is it worth the effort though?

[@babydahl9424]

I love how when he said he hates witches he specified with text that he hates them in Minecraft. That was cute.

The fact that the villager's are a game changer, the sooner we wait for episodes the more we get excited watching further. Honestly though, I'm surprised that just one episode of skyblock can have this long progress which I cannot wait for more!

Skyblock tip, don't spawn your trees that close together because if a tree spawns inside of leaves it won't generate extra losing you a lot of potential sapplings, place every tree in a way for it to spawn all leave blocks

I always think people forget about fishing in skyblock. Food, leather, bones, enchanted books, decent bows, xp, etc. Obviously need a infinite water source. Depending on the skyblock I normally use bonemeal to make one early game.
