I Beat HARDCORE Minecraft for THIS Building Block! Episode 5

Today we take on the end! Not for the elytra though, for a building block. In order to transform this village into the cotton candy dream I imagine, we need that light purple purpur block from the end dimension. So, we have to defeat the dragon.

For the iron farm, You could have a daylight sensor so that when its night, the trapdoor closes and the villagers can sleep.

[@laurelwillow]

the trouble with this is that the villagers will then just sleep all night and won't produce any iron golems half the time. I suppose if you're sleeping every night that wouldn't be too much of an issue? but eventually you're going to have times (like this episode) where you don't sleep for one reason or another, and they won't produce any iron during that time. Bit of a waste.

[@charefeddinebenamara907]

She can make a clock that is triggered by a daylight sensor that closes the trapdoors for a few ticks. But this is too bulky of a solution. The community designed much better farms.

[@lasercraft32]

in my experience, the iron farms are actually faster at night, since they need to sleep in order to spawn more golems, but can't spawn them _while_ sleeping. So at night they lie in bed, get spooked and get out of bed, and repeat over and over which makes the golems more likely to spawn.

[@erin.anderson]

Mostly just practice. It's a skill that you can build up over time. You can start by emulating other things that you like, and eventually just start playing with changing things, and figuring out what you like and don't like, so you can put them together in your own combinations.

[@derda1304]

Hey Gem, you should do the thing you did in one of your old hardcore worlds where you lock the map and write which episode it's from so you can see your progress

Vanilla Tweaks is legendary and no-one should feel bad for cleaning up the overly obtrusive things.

[@marsh283]

I used to think of purpur to be a kind of ugly block that was never really for building, but then you built those awesome stairs in empires smp season 1 using copper+purpur in a gradient and it was so cool! It opened my eyes to how inventive u could get with block pallettes! Love the video, very excited to see what you make next in the village!

[@ninjacat2123]

The thing that I like about vanilla tweaks is that most of the things on there just enhance the game rather than taking away from the vanilla experience. I think adding those is a great thing for recording!

[@Abzanafenza]

"I don't need a respawn point because it's hardcore" is true except when you're entering the End dimension

[@one_hoop]

You don't have to repair the bows for dispensers, the broken bows just won't work with the recipe book. But since the bows don't stack for the recipe book, I prefer to shift-click the dropper recipe anyway and then shift-click the (broken) bows into the middle. I was getting a little sickened when you were talking about purpur but then, when you showed it with your gradient, I was like, "Well done!"

[@JamesBea-they]

Maybe you could set up armor stands by your portal again like your 1.16 hardcore series, you seemed to forget gold less often 💛

The village is looking great Gem. No the texture packs for recording purposes aren’t cheating. They all just give you more view space which doesn’t change too much in game but makes videos a lot better

[@FredericoLohmannJr]

As a new subscriber (a few weeks now) I know I'm loving Gem's content because I feel sad every time a video ends. Not a fan of hard modded Minecraft, but totally ok with quality of life tweaks (I use MiniHUD myself, mostly for location and illumination). I especially love this series, mostly because of the progressive grown of everything ("lore", buildings, equipment, feelings). I hope for a new Hardcore Skyblock One Block in the future, as it was the first series I watched here. I like the Hermitcraft stuff as well.

[@firebloom6860]

I love ender dragon fights, especially when the player collects the breath. Like imagine just chilling in the end with your subjects and a tiny thing comes starts fighting you and then when you fight back the little thing collects breath and then finishes you off 😂

[@lalacrew6774]

gem's videos always make me want to play in my own singleplayer world! something about the simplicity of the way she plays just really inspires me

[@hypotheist3737]

FYI Gem, you don't need to kil the blaze with the sword, you can have it in your main hand and still get the looting effect by killing them with a bow in your off-hand. Much love

You absolutely influenced me to play modded hardcore through your hardcore and new life series, so thanks for that! First time playing harcore and I got absolutely destroyed on my first attempt. But now I'm at the point where I'm one-shotting bosses and farming them for loot haha. Anyways, thank you for this series

[@isthiscer888]

26:08 You don't need the bows to have full durability to craft a dispenser! Also, i really like where this series is going! And i really admire your dedication to this, seeing as you have 3 active series currently and you update them all quite often, hope you're well and taking care of yourself tho! Good job!.

[@humourlessjester3584]

For my iron farms I typically use either a flower pot to break line of sight or sea pickles because unlike slabs or trapdoors they allow for the villagers to see the zombie more often and they have a good balance of sleeping and getting scared. But the more reliable solution is to have the zombies bob up and down using water bubbles since you're not relying on AI.

[@vulcanjedimaster]

Nicely done, Gem! I still can't imagine killing an endermen for my first pearls without a boat, let alone multiple at once, in a hardcore world. Amazing!

[@erin.anderson]

Honestly, I really like your little sentry statue! It's really hard to make a statue in Minecraft at a small scale that looks that good! And I'm with you, purpur has historically been a little difficult to build with unless you did a pure End material palette, because very few overworld, or even nether, blocks matched it well. I think what the game needs now is some new blue blocks - the last few updates have skewed very warm toned for new blocks; time to balance it out.

[@Thecatcottegewitch]

Heey gem! I have an idea for the other episode!! U should actually be the hero of the village by killing the raid,it's okay if Ur not ready. U will probably lose some villages but u have a breeding farm for villages! It's just if u want to do it byee!

[@karebear326]

I love how you stay very vanilla, that you use some extra for video purposes doesn't change the quality of the vanilla experience so i see no problem with it, in fact technically the extra is to improve our viewer experience so I appreciate the extra effort you put into it for our sake❤️😄 As someone who only play vanilla minecraft it is super inspiring to see you build with vanilla blocks since it sucks to not have the block when i want to build after being inspired by you so very happy you do vanilla minecraft ❤️🥰 Though lets just admit that minecraft needs to add bushy leaves to their vanilla minecraft, so much prettier🥰😂🙈

Enchanted books are the way to go gem. Fishing also is good for enchanted books. You can combine books together and they can stop the too expensive text coming up on anvils

Purpur is one of my favorite blocks so I'm really glad to see one of my favorite minecraft youtubers/builders using it. A lot of people always think of it in the context of the end cities which can be kind of ugly (though I myself kind of like them) but used right they can be a really pretty and impactful block on builds!

[@alehzanderh]

The slab in the iron farm makes it so that the villagers almost never go into panicking mode. It really is a broken farm, and until Wattles fixes it - it's a better idea to use different ones. Still, the one I made on an SMP does work. Not always but it works enough for me to never worry about iron again. Switch the slabs for trap doors.

Silk touch on nether gold and then smelting the block gives you an gold Ingot. I just found it out yesterday 😂❤ I always just fortune it, but know I have started to silk touch it. Great way to get gold!

[@livinginfictions]

i love that you're using some vanilla tweaks, honestly! Sometimes I wish people would play semi-modded minecraft without...it being about the mods? Like if you made a survival series that just Happened to have something in the background like farmer's delight? That'd be super fun, imo. Just adding to the world instead of having either SUPER strict vanilla, or Heavily Heavily modded. So, yes, vanilla tweaks is great and it's fun seeing you use the bushy leaves bc i use them too, so now your game looks even more like mine. XD

I'm sure someone has already said it, but you can put your looting sword in your offhand and kill with your bow and still get the looting bonus too. Though it's pretty spooky on hardcore to drop your shield.

[@griffinscholl230]

A little tip I found out recently was gold tools have a higher enchant level, so if you put a gold sword in first and then put your diamond sword in to enchant, you should get better enchants

[@David.CC_MC]

For the blazes, next time, you can put the looting sword in your offhand. The looting will still apply with the bow. :)
