How I Restored The Ancient City In Minecraft!

I love the Minecraft Ancient City. It is very cool and mysterious! Since the first time I saw it, I wanted to restore the city and see how it used to be before the Sculk and Warden took over and ruined everything.

This is probably the best depiction of what the ancient cities would've looked like in their glory days. It really contrasts well and instead of the ruined hell that it once was has now been transformed and reinstated into this beautiful masterpiece.

[@jacobjude6319]

The portal, the Warden, the Ancient City, the uninhabitance. Here’s my lore to all of this. The Ancient City was built by people, being my guess I’d say the Ancient Builders were the ones that built it and when they designed the portal it released the skulk which brought the Warden into the world. The Warden was too overwhelming for the ancient builders and murdered all of them. Or so would be thought, as generations go on time and time some of the original ancient builders could have escaped. So they went and searched for ways to destroy the Warden, documenting everything they have found. They found some interesting things, as monsters started appearing after the Warden appeared. Most appeared to be the undead whilst others appeared to be huge spiders. The scariest of them all was a pure black entity that was one block taller than them and another was a green creature that would explode when approached. Upon killing these entity’s they dropped a pearl and gunpowder. As the Ancient Builders have no home they seek a new one but to their interest they find another portal. They look down at the portal and see the pearl they have inside one of the 12 slots but the only difference is this one has an eye in it. They want more, they need to know how to fix the portal and so they seek out a way to finish the portal. Long and hard they search to no avail, they created Mineshafts to search for clues underground but nothing helped. Some Ancient Builders learned witchcraft to, in hope, have potions in their future fight against the Warden. Their potion making skills were amazing but they then tried a new kind of potion that exploded creating something that they have never before seen. It looked as if they ripped a hole straight to the underworld. They entered into this dimension which looked as if they were in Hell itself. They called this place the Nether because it gave off burning souls and forever pain. They searched high and low through the Nether, finding what materials they could. They found a mysterious looking area, it looked like an underworld Jail house. They fought deadly monsters, none near as strong as what was previously fought but still stronger than monsters in the over world. One appeared to be an extremely tall black skeleton wielding a sword. They destroyed this monster and took its head as a reward, whilst taking a couple more while they were there. Adventuring further into the area they found what looked like a spawner of some sorts and before they knew it they got ambushed by the monsters that came out. These monsters shot fire balls at the ancient builders and could fly. The ancient builders, frightened and scared, only killed around 7-10 and took their drops which looked like dust and rods. When they returned to the over-world they abandoned the portal entirely vowing only to go back there if ever needed. They then set back for home, with the third portal. They continued to document all their learnings and learned so much they made a library and filled it with all their books. They were not yet finished though as they still had so much more to learn and so some set out to Wander and search for new inhabitants to seek out help and they could trade with while others were over the plans and decided to leave and live a happy life in a village. The wandering traders, however, did plan on returning once they had news. Two or three would decide to wonder off together in the extreme cold climates so they wouldn’t freeze to death, they would build Igloos so they could stay warm until they were ambushed by monsters. They fought them off bravely until one was gotten, it looked as if he was normal but he wasn’t because he was dead. They locked the undead up under the Igloo in hopes they could find a way to cure him. If the Wandering Traders didn’t plan on going in the cold they would take a Llama or two to keep them safe from enemies. Some Wandered deep into jungles and far into vast deserts, both were on the verge of dying however and created temples for the future travelers that found them have the treasure they were hiding. Some traders traveled the ocean and traveled so much they became pirates, eventually crashing and dying leaving only their buried treasure and boat remains behind. The Builders that learned witchcraft, however, secluded themselves too much and with their potions gone insane and would kill anything or anyone that comes near. Finally after traveling so far a Wandering trader finds what looks to be a ginormous wall that leads to the sky. Everything about this place seemed odd to him and it looked like if it was the edge of the world. He knew it was dangerous as it was day out and monsters were everywhere, but what he learned was even crazier. Hurriedly he ran back to his friends and told them what he had learned, they instantly looked at the portal like they were ready to enter. They needed more materials so they returned to this massive wall and knew it wasn’t normal. Something big created it, the only thing they could think of was the Warden. They trained and obtained full Diamond Armor and Weapons with good enchants then returned to the portal room. The powder they acquired from the fiery beast ignited the eye and one by one they filled in the portal pieces until it was full. Then the portal opened to a dimension not set foot to their eyes. The place was full of those tall black creatures, possibly their home. They ventured further and saw great big towers of obsidian and in the middle was a pedestal, on top was an egg and the portal that lead out of there. They thought that only an egg and the portal couldn’t be all there is so they started to dig, they dug and dug and dug until eventually someone found something. It was a green chest, a chest none have saw before. Inside were totems, they had no idea what the totems were for and took the chest and all the totems and held onto them for safe keeping. As they tried to leave one tried to grab the egg, nocking it down cracking it. All the others leave as it’s a broken egg while the last one watches and see’s the creature inside open it’s eye and look at him ready as if it was going to kill him. He hurriedly gets out of there before it lets out a frightening roar and the portal closes. They all pass through the portal and because of the monster there closing it the eyes inside of it explode leaving only three left. As they had no need to worry they believed that they were ready for the fight against the Warden. They marched their way back to their city to take back what was rightfully theirs. They all charge into the city thinking they had a chance but no, the Warden booby trapped the whole place so he would know when someone was coming. As soon as they entered the Warden was already onto them, murdering them almost instantly however they didn’t die. They had something float over their heads and to their surprise it was their totems. They all fled or tried to escape from the Warden as he was still too powerful for them but little did they know as time went on the power of the totem that brought them back from dying slowly turned their minds to mush and became what is known as the Illagers. They went and made Mansions and Outposts across the world, ready to kill anything or anyone that is not one of them.

I thought that too at first, but maybe the lanterns turned blue because the inhabitants' souls merged with them after they died.

[@zcgamerandreacts2762]

@@droidy365 that makes sense. Like how is anyone suppose to see with this limited lighting of these soul fire lanterns?

Nice to find another Norwegian on the internet 🙂 håper dagen din går fint

This genuinely looks SOOOO good. Very underrated video

[@nicolejones3686]

Wow the city really looks like it was restored. Great job, unsorted guy 😲😄😁

[@vaelegoro7782]

Video idea: modernize the old structures make them look like they've been altered to fit modern times Even though it doesn't make sense why someone would desecrate an ancient structure in that way it could still be interesting to see

[@AndrewManook]

By far the best restoration I've seen yet.

[@duncanwilliams2350]

The foley you added during you before and after montage was pretty cool.

[@bend1574]

That was so cool, and I appreciate your work. I know it took hours, but what if you did the double anchant city in the video.

[@illenialLisette]

Dude, you put in some serious work! It was stunning once you were finished. Great job Kim!! 👍👍

[@StratosphereTHAI]

Im pretty sure the "flat height of the stone structure thoughout city" is just the foundation, the building is possibly wooden - stone hybrid. It just that the wood rot/get consume by the sculk

[@Sjczar]

Unsorted, love the dedication you put into to your videos and I hope that you reach 200k subs soon

This looks absolutely amazing 🤯✨

The ancient city looks even better and great then before nice work keep it up

[@annawaite7724]

This looks better then the one we have! In fact so much better I’m gonna do something like that to a aincent city!

[@battae5984]

According to disc 5, whoever lived there fled thru the portal to escape some monstrous creature, presumably the Warden

[@anakin11311]

Not really.

[@adraxas13]

No the Sculk came from the portal, they opened to escape the wither, but they were then cornered by the wither and the sculk.

[@DarthKanye]

this is insane! great job. one thing i wanna point out is all the dark oak, so those watch towers, random bridges, blue wool, is likely the remnants of some illiger explorers

[@callmebilly]

This needs more recognition

[@fancybanana3699]

Absolutely incredible job bro fantastic work

[@analogbunny]

I think many, many of us have thought of the same thing - clear out the skulk, light it up, bring back villagers. The trick is everyone's different vision for what a pre-skulk city would have looked like.

[@KidPrarchord95]

Most evidence points towards there never being a pre-skulk city. The whole entire thing was very clearly designed to accommodate the deep dark.

[@atomicsaint9573]

Hi I love these videos! I can tell this is going to be so amazing!!!

[@malcho1234]

This was an amazing build to watch! And now I want this type of style for the Minecolonies mod too...

[@Anonimo_10]

wow this is so amazing you won my like bro

[@madmavrick9918]

You probably get asked this alot but what shader are you using? And list any other mods used that give this wonderful look.

[@alyxlocke1284]

Can’t help but notice that the color pallet of the original ancient city is similar to the Pillager mansions. Dark colors, dark oak, and most notably the blue and cyan wool, which can be found in the mansions as well.

[@dr.eximus]

Something that was pointed out to me is the structures containing dark oak and blue wool look foreign and slapped onto the stone structure. The wool elsewhere is gray. Like the pillagers found the city and set up "campsites" and lookouts to study the area. It does make sense given the pillagers magic dealings with life and death, studying the Sculk and it's relation to XP and death.

[@alyxlocke1284]

@@dr.eximus Definitely an interesting assessment. The colors definitely stand out. My guess is that it was either the pillagers, or potential predecessors to the pillagers.

[@chasesmith5216]

this...look's...BEAUTIFUL MAN i love it so much I'm actually gonna attempt to restore my ancient city as well wish i was looking for some inspiration and this helps me out a lot keep up the awesome work

[@TheOriginalJphyper]

I've been working on this as my latest project as well, but these ideas take it further. I'll have to keep these sorts of things in mind. I expect it'll be a while, though, as I can only play for so long before my fingers start to hurt from all the repetitive actions.

[@catguy9229]

I would think that the ice box would be a place to store food, or other items that need to be kept cool. It could also be a storage space for water or a place to make ice and ice cubes.

[@pikadragon2783]

the music change for the before after shots is really nice.

[@paulbowman5864]

Not gonna lie (NGL for short), it looks so clean and it looks so beautiful. You did a good job reimagining the Ancient City back to it's clean state.

[@Aiden_Studios_4895]

This is VERY cool, I love how everything works together as a city, so cool to see

[@sagewarren8431]

I'm assuming it was two cities that somehow kinda morphed together. I'm not sure the rarity rate but that has to be pretty rare to happen

[@teoankov7623]

Thats beautiful man, love it

This was very interesting i love how you have 20 hours of dedication to this!!
