I Destroyed an ENTIRE MOUNTAIN to Build THIS in Hardcore Minecraft

[@fWhip]

Hi!! Thanks for checking out today's episode!! Was the dig worth it?

[@pheasant9]

always so good to get organized and just get it done!! definitely worth

[@belannaodea6796]

VERY worth it! So fun watching it all come together on streams! Name for a netherite tool 'The Pathfinder' in honour of the city it has helped build!

[@FarmAddict]

Hey fwhip I have a mod idea for you it's called Wider Stats Screen by JustinTimeCuber which basically gives you the ability to have them more seperatelly so you can see clearly how many millions of blocks you have mined. loved the video

[@Mason-b1c9h]

Yes

[@SonikaVenter-o7f]

[@Red81849]

hi fwip, about the magic pond, this whole area is in a sunken between mountains, it resembles a caldera of a volcano, that pond could be a natural hot spring. A caldera is a remnant of a volcanic eruption when a lava chamber under a volcano collapses in on itself lowering the land above.

[@witherking584]

I love thus idea. I recently went to climb rucu pachincha. This is a volcanic mountain 15000 feet above see level and right next to Quito Ecuador. The thought of a volcanic area around the city of path really puts into perspective that general idea explaining why so many of the resources are found in the mines and be a reason why dwarves love this place so much.

[@MURDR3R]

came to the comments to say this as well. genius.

[@somazzo978]

Yes! I immediately thought the pond could be a cool geyser!

[@Arthen1]

THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT OF TOO!!

[@aggrocd1985]

In America we call that, a "valley."

[@n3b266]

I think the blue grass might be cool, as you go deeper into the forest it typically gets darker in real life which will make for a really good mood and atmosphere, as you walk in and it gets darker as you go until it starts to lighten up as you approach the city gates.

[@williamafton2570]

this is why i love the bluer coloring

[@thomas8189]

I really love the effect that it make just before the big field of sunflower beyond (we saw a glimpse in the video), he used the moss for the ground but with the blue fern and grass one top that add a very magical vibe to it

[@TheLeafcuter]

could even lean into it more with the warped biome's vegitation, that way!

[@destinyhope133]

I have watched this series ever since episode one on and off, but some thing about his videos hit every single time because all these Minecraft KZbinrs these days are building zoos for every single mob or building some crazy extravagant thing for every single biome, it’s ridiculous. He has a good down-to-earth series that always feels like you’ve completed another piece to the story. A story you want to keep watching. Fwhip ftw!

[@valeriatte]

Agreed. But I want him to make a zoo too. His build is always mesmerizing, I wonder how his zoo would look like.. it must be cool

[@bluelobster6989]

literally aCookieGod 😂

[@tinytile]

A flower forest would likely take focus away from the paler grass and could be planted on overgrown rocks to add more lushness without feeling too flat!

[@bengoodman6872]

I think the river needs to be expanded on because rn there’s no where for the ships in the port/docks to go to

[@fWhip]

Yeah... That'll happen but that dig requires removing 2 mountains LOL

he doesn’t use tnt dupers because he is scared of major destruction, but he is against duplication of any kind.

Possibly a graveyard could be interesting as an edge of city presence

[@ScarletSwitchblade]

I love this idea!!!

[@Horsefinity]

Seconding this idea omg

[@AryIly]

To overcome the biome colour issue, you could add bushes made of sugarcane, and dripleafs. Or you could go the other way and embrace the colour, and add some warped sprouts and shoots for variety in the cooler blues.

[@AbedIsBatman]

I think it would be good to see a short clip (a minute, maybe even less) of how you designed stuff like the roads for litematica in your videos. Like how you showed us how you designed the large dwarven castle in a video. That way we, the viewers, feel more part of the building process Also great names for the dogs

[@fWhip]

I did all of the planning here on a stream awhile ago so I do creative streams every once in awhile to plan things out.. usually on just twitch for more chill vibes (VOD from Tuesdays planning stream is still up!)

[@valeriatte]

​@@fWhip I hope you put those footage on regular video too.. just a little bit

[@Arinrine]

That stone hill at 14:20 deserves a waterfall

[@Realistic_Secret]

Could have the pond be a natural spring where the water is pushing up out of the ground for the reason why there's so much water coming from such a small pond. Might be good for ideas for a build in the area since a lot of springs end up being popular spots for one reason or another.

[@mollypharoah8835]

So amazing to see the progress like this after watching all the streams ❤ great work !!!

[@rodrigohenriques4499]

hope this comments gets to you, i love your hardcore series and makes me relax so much watching all your progress, i have no time rn to watch all live streams due to studies and focusing on projects, but i look forward for more videos, thank you for those! i hope the city and all your projects reach absurd levels of creativity and accomplishment, and hope the same for your personal goals in life.

[@putin_1999]

Fwhip, there's another technique to put cattails in the water with the rest of the water plants. You use green glass panes with a brown candle on top.

[@chancesimpson6545]

27:52 honestly I think with the blue toned grass it could work in fact it may even be able to improve the lush look if you took some fern large and small while mixing in various leaves both biome effected and not biome effected.

[@MakoBlitz]

34:10 thats such a gorgeous cute little cottage! i know you just tossed it in with litematica and probably didn't take too long in comparison to the terraforming, but wishing you spent an extra minute discussing texturing and design process for us to learn! (even if its recording in creative build world) thanks fwhip you're the best!

[@dmisterchunch1930]

@@MakoBlitz you should make videos again

[@ConnorBrandt-vj5tw]

Fwhip, to solve your spawning issues in the forest, you can place shroomlights, froglights, or any other light source under a moss carpet would light up the area. You could also do darker light sources light glow lichen.

[@hugostror6557]

We got fWhip building a weed farm in a basement before GTA6 🗿

[@ValinNight]

I loved the block placing on the new farm house! Felt so satisfying and cool!

[@NathanCameron-gc3sm]

For a shovel name, call it ‘Path Connector’

[@chuipi]

Patches of the cold grass blocks under the trees would simulated a shade, and a desired path behind the big oak tree Y on the road, you know people are going to cut corners, maybe a bench and a lantern post too.

[@HazMattAtk]

Watching this world grow and evolve has been so awesome! I would love to see a fly-over showcasing the size and scope of the road network and connected builds/towns.

[@DemonDoggo409]

29:16 anyone else see the clouds looking like they're fusing with the leaves of the world tree?

[@WhiteTigerJ15]

I watched a couple of the digging streams so it's very nice to see some of the builds and nature come to life now! I can't wait to watch this area progress

[@ryouprivate3606]

The flower field reminded me of a Minecraft fact, that would be a cool idea for another field: Allium (the little purple flower) are actually the flowering form of onions/chives/shallots/leeks! If you google "purple flowering green onion" you'll see what minecraft alliums are based off of... I think a field of alliums as a field of flowering onions would be such a cool nod to the real world!!

[@EJW2003]

This was so much better than I could’ve imagined. Some of the shots at the end are gorgeous. Your world keeps blowing me away

[@niffry]

For a bit extra greenery/interest on the forest floor, maybe try adding a bunch of rocks or boulders with a layer of moss on top of them? Could also go for some exposed tree roots ^_^

[@LeviWithV]

Mossy cobble and moss!

[@orestishaholli1274]

On the road you could maybe put some wagons that look like the city is trading with other villages

love love love fwhip builds especially terrains cause I can appreciate how time consuming it is but also how rewarding it is to bring the world together. Will say though with cat tails aren't they brown on the top with green stems, so an alternative could be green stained glass panes and brown candles.

[@karebear326]

You can make a sword in the stone next to the pond, a fantasy fae tree (maybe purple or blue in color) or a statue of a woman with a clay pot that pore water in the pond🤔

[@enelabe]

9:40 wow that was so funny, "otso" (pronounced like ocho) actually means wolf in Basque!! Such a cute coincidence :D

[@thealmightyduck335]

A man of sheer will and dedication. I mean, the entirety of Path shows that anyway, but still lol

[@seanmaddex4104]

Id love to see some sheppard villagers maybe raising a few sheeps and goats maybe a dog breeder/kennel. this region could be a source of livestock for the city. maybe a ranch could be a nice addition.

[@michaelpommerening8043]

It's so cool to see months of work coming to fruition. I remember watching all of those live streams of you tearing down that mountain. I didn't think it had been that long. Great work, fWhip!

[@SanityAardvark]

Make 7 netherite pickaxes and name them after the dwarves from Snowwhite.

[@irislgb8160]

Finally seeing this video of the mountain gone:) so satisfying:)

[@ionutvisan4551]

if you dont add a cheese maker house, or however you call it, in the new upcoming town.....I'll do nothing. just though that it was a great idea, so maybe you considering it. But anyway amazing work so far

[@dilliethephag371]

Ily whip but maybe its a personal choice but I wiuld recommend swapping the brown and green with eachother on the cattails 🌾(ik thats not cattails but more like that) gives a nice splash of brown between all the green (instead of pickles brown candles)

[@fWhip]

I'll try that out thanks!

[@darkskull1-132]

This has got to be my all time favorite hardcore series world 🤩 long live FWhip for many more projects to come!

[@alexspace2514]

Hi fWhippy, I watched almost every stream with progress of this project and I’m so happy it’s done because it looks just amazing. Oh and I think the lush bits would actually make a lot of sense under the trees which are over the river as the leaves would be falling into the water. Again, I’m so very happy to see this project coming together 🎉

[@yelvious9144]

This turned out great! nice work. It might be cool to add a slightly bigger root to the base of the tree on the right of the path at 31:44 that would go out towards the birch tree on the left to sort of frame the view and capture the eye like a circular composition.

[@Lordmaniax357]

One of the things I do with the "extra materials" from the big land clearing projects is "Mob proofing" areas around farms. All those little caves and voids the plague mob style farms? Fill it with the super extra dirt and stones. My thinking is your down there "torch spamming" to mob proof why not just use the extra materials; that you're just going to let de-spawn, to fill in the areas that can collect mobs... (Like under the terrain you make?)

[@IsraelBelongToChrist]

Because it takey way too much time man🫠

[@Ben029]

Wayy too time consuming unfortunately😅 One torch spawnproofs the same area as around 10x10x10=100 blocks. So by using blocks instead of lighting you're essentially multiplying the time and hassle by a hundred.

[@Lordmaniax357]

@@Ben029 I play to "kill time" anyways... Plus I'm boarder line OCD so the thought of having just a "Movie set" layer under the new landscape kind of sets the teeth on edge. LOL! Plus I also do it for a way of inventory control when strip mining.

[@vee24]

Man's hella productive as usual. I don't remember the version, but at some point they added crafting recipe refilling with spacebar (similar to villager trading refill). So dispenser crafting might not be such a drag anymore.

[@SheltonLatimer]

I can’t lie, the colored grass under the birch trees looks so good. Having it not match perfectly makes it so good

[@titouanparis9290]

I think u can add some flowers under those trees to make it more lush

[@realevil4614]

Hey fWhip. Instead of using sea pickles for the cattails next to the fishing docks, you should try using brown candles! They would stand out more against the green leaves.

[@sparrrorow]

boy why are Your shovels stacking 25:34

[@fWhip]

it's the best way to store shovels! /s shulker tooltip mod does it if they're all full durability and have same enchants haha

[@sparrrorow]

@@fWhip lmao, makes sense, i thought i lost my grip on what's possible in minecraft

[@edibleapeman]

What I like best about this video is how you go from celebrating your 8,000th in-world day to talking about your latest growth and changes as a minecrafter within the span of like 10 minutes. THAT'S why this game is so enduringly beloved - you never stop growing and improving as a player, which is so freaking cool.

[@cearcseaus]

I think you should run with the cooler tones in the grass under the birch trees! Personally I feel like the variety in shades is really nice, and combined with the other pieces you were putting down, I think it ends up looking really nice and mirroring the variety of the leaf colors (which I also feel was a really nice choice). Cool toned doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't feel lush :)

[@progamer1850]

27:39 you defintly need Dark Oak Seplings

[@mbcmechachu]

If it helps usually when I have a fortune pickaxe I call it "Miner's Delight" and when I get a silk touch pickaxe I call it "Angelic Bliss".

[@lexiemundschenk6976]

18:45 I like the idea of the statue being of the first magic person in the kingdom that planted the magic tree and gives power and magic to the surrounding areas which is why it’s the main city part cause it’s all where it began

[@zachrappel2855]

I really like the little build montage at 33:32 and i think you should incorporate that style of montage more.

[@bennyboiart7781]

You could say that your "magic" pond is being fed by a spring from an underground aquifer. But then again, the idea of a pool blessed to continually flow with fresh water by some kind of spirit or deity is far more whimsical and in keeping with the fantastical nature of your world. And if you do go with the latter, you could really lean into it by adding a little shrine in the vicinity of the pond.

[@shay3975]

The dig was absolutely worth it. And I love your farmhouses. And I love your city views.

[@YetAnotherJenn]

I do love me a good dig! Well done sir! I have seen your other two hardcore series come to an end, so thrilled you are still here for this amazing world. Keep that totem handy!! ❤🎉❤

[@matejracek5492]

Your building skills are truly incredible. I really like how you can combine all the materials. I really like the gate and the wall around the city. Now I'm building a similar one in my world.

[@hazzplays3586]

A small ish chirch and a grave yard would be great with that landscape and would give it some high variation. Would go well with the darker grass as well.

[@beelybeee]

just a tip, when you get to the end of a stack of blocks and need to go into your inventory for more you can just middle click on the block you want (dirt for eg) and it will bring it to your hotbar :) if you alr knew this ignore me!

[@UndergroundSally]

The dark grass looks good I think. Can't wait to see the crop fields in the future too! Speaking of fields, might I suggest orchards to go with your episode fields too?

[@clockwork2209]

What if for the underbrush in the birch forest you put a whole bunch of flowers? Like pink petals and such? I think it might look neat

[@MakoBlitz]

wow the views at the end really proves removing the mountain was so worth it! totally transforms the region for the better. great job fwhip

[@ookazi1000]

If I can make a suggestion, you should think about the logistics regarding the bridge and ye-olde-tugboats. Back in the day, tugboats were pulled by mules and/or horses, and bridges that crossed rivers with high tug-boat traffic had to be specially designed to prevent the lead from getting caught on the bridge. I think it'd be a really cool piece of storytelling to encorporate that into the bridge's design.

[@LSassassin08]

So worth it!!! It is such an amazing addition to the world! My favourite part has to be the beautiful trees but the docks aslo look awesome and obviously many greetings to Potato and Ocho

[@Earthenfist]

When I'm doing that sort of mass mountain-removing terraforming, I generally just use villager bought diamond picks. You can mine just as well, and you can get so many of them so easily that accidentally breaking one or two isn't a problem- heck, when doing Nether digging for gold farms, I'll just bulk-buy EffII diamond picks and treat them as disposable.

[@psycatnip]

Idea: when the winter drop comes you could plant an orchard using the resin layer. Would an orchard count as 'planting a field'? 🤔

[@kameelmohammed4683]

Amazing build man, so beautiful and I'm very proud of you for all the hard work! For the fern farm you could decorate the outside to look like the double tall ferns are hemp, which is being grown to make rope, sails, fabric, etc. Then you could have a building in the industrial district of the city to show the movement of resources into the city to be manufactured into useful things. For the magic pond, I think you could just have some brooks leading to it or even just say it's filled by an underground stream and just have an outlet for that. Also I think your use of time saving tools is absolutely fine and people that have a problem with that can go do one. I can't comment on the colour thing as I am also colour blind lol

The lore after the lake: In the ground there are millions of vertical channels, a kind of pipes. These are called "capillary tubes". Every time there is a downpour, the excess water drains underground through the capillary tubes. When it is dry, the same pipes transport the water to the surface, but in this case, the water stated at the surface and got more water from underneath (about the channels and stuff is a real life thing ;)
