I Built A MASSIVE ZOO with Every Animal in Minecraft Hardcore

[@BlueNerdMC]

Sorry for the wait everyone, this was honestly one of the biggest, toughest and most challenging projects I have ever attempted. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. What should I build next? ❤❤

[@GracemarieJohnson2763]

CASTLE ❤ Time to move out of that starter house and into a castle worthy of a king of building like you.

[@hermitwatcher8997]

Yes!!! The wolves will shake off the water if they got wet. They also are a darker gray when they are wet. It’s an animation I’ve always known them to do.

[@darinakoseva5464]

this guy is pure artist. he needs an award. amazing work

[@DaNintendude]

If you have a Channeling Trident, I'd recommend breeding the Mooshrooms and using lightning to turn the new ones into Brown mooshrooms (probably better to do outside of the Zoo, so you don't accidentally kill any of the other ones)

[@yo_top8281]

Your builds are amazing, glad I saw this vid in my recommended. Two things you should know: 1. Turtles will only begin hatching if you don't sleep through the nights 2. Dolphins will drown themselves if you're out of range for their A.I to pathfind and resurface. (So it's kinda pointless having them as they'll due anyways). 😬

[@valkeakirahvi]

Really? That sucks, I'd love to have some dolphins in my zoo :(

[@leonewashere]

also, afaik turtle eggs only hatch with access to the sky

[@Lucas_1121]

Actually that’s not true. I’ve built an aquarium with a huge dolphin tank and I’ve never had to respawn them

[@NIQQU1]

@@Lucas_1121 I tried building a dolphin aquarium in Minecraft, they all died at some point. There were cod droppings which proved they had died and not respawned - when a dolphin dies, it drops cod. There was also no live cod put in the enclosure beforehand so it's not like the dolphins killed some cod and then de spawned. I also added no roof so they were able to go up and breathe properly. I don't know why your dolphins haven't died, but this was my personal experience 💀

[@Lucas_1121]

All my dolphins died once and it was because my friend killed them so that’s the only time for me. They’ve never died on their own

[@ladyairili]

You missed bats. I was hoping to see some bat representation as bats were the first mob I ever added to the zoo I'm making on my server, and they were a bit tricky to get since there's not a lot of info on them. But your zoo is far superior to mine in every other category. Thanks for the inspiration, especially on the allays. I wouldn't have thought to include them in a zoo.

[@BlueNerdMC]

Thanks AJ, yeah someone else mentioned the bats, I completely forgot so I will try and find a spot and build an enclosure in another episode, I knew i would end up forgetting one, lol. =)

[@renevos5822]

I genuinly think this is the coolest Minecraft Hardcore challenge I've ever seen. It's such a great combination of insane building, but also has that videogame completionist vibe with collecting all the mobs.

[@BjorkMinecraft]

Looks amazing! I can see how it took two months! Edit: If you want to be able to buy unlimited name tags without the villager's trades locking, you should look into ianxofour's voidless void trading setup. It's super easy to put together in a single player world, and it'll save you so much time and effort.

[@kiwicat3346]

Not sure if you will come back to the zoo but there are some variants of mobs specific to different biomes. Like desert bunnies, snow bunnies, and snow foxes. They could all have their own enclosures to add some more variety. Also not sure if you will be moving your world to the new update or not but if so it would be cool to see some camels and sniffers :D

[@_imdope]

Great zoo Nerd! Only thing I would've made the panda's enclosure more of a Chinese style since they are China's national animal, but overall I don't mind the Japanese theme on it! Great work as always :)

[@fay8183]

i died when he said they gave a japanese style

[@Khaleesi_loves_you]

37:17 is how long I have watched this so far

[@rotanoks]

2:37 At the zoo in my state, there’s a big bridge connecting the entrance to the zoo with a walkway made of bricks dedicated for people who donated/passed away. I don’t believe that was your original intention, but that’s what it reminded me of, so I thought it was super sweet. 💙

[@Darren-s1r]

There's only one word for it - WOW. Now that's dedication! Such patience in searching, trapping and dragging all those animals. And you have such an entertaining way with the dialogue too. I laughed when you named one Jon Bon Jovi. If you ever get the urge to do a tutorial again, the Parrot Enclosure would be a great one.

[@dillypickle4673]

Honestly the only thing I would personally say could get some work is the Japanese theme in the panda enclosure, since they are native to southern China. Otherwise absolutely spectacular build, fun watch.

[@benjaminhamrick8612]

In regards to trader llamas, to keep them from despawning you need to tame them. After that they will never leave (under normal circumstances) no name tag required. Also… I wish you good luck if you make a hostile mob zoo

This is the new definition of "SERIOUS dedication"!!! Absolutely gorgeous and my favorite zoo build of all that I've seen. It's the kind of place I can spend all day IRL and feel like it was just not enough time. Each enclosure is just perfectly suited for the animals. I just felt awful for you when you lost some on the way back. Next.....I think you might allow yourself a bit of a rest. These last two videos were ginormous efforts! Make an ice cream truck or a little minigame If you need to put something out there. I know we'll all watch it.

My son just got Minecraft for Christmas and his favourite treat now is to watch one of your videos when he's finished all his stuff for school.

Amazing video, as always! I'm just stunned by the amount of time, effort and dedication you put in your builds! And the results are way, way, WAY better than what one could imagine before watching the video! Idea for your next hardcore build: On the other side of the island build a zoo for hostile mobs, but make it in such a way, that it is contrasting with this zoo! I think it will just be the greatest thing ever build in MC.

Copper has to be loaded to oxidise, just build with plain copper and let it oxidise on its own.

[@boyhero3194]

Your dedication and creativity are something else. P.s I've seen a couple of zoos before but this one without comparison is the best.🔥

[@aceofaces05]

@BlueNerd doesn’t the copper oxidize anyway? You can build the structure with copper blocks and overtime won’t they oxidize anyway? I could be wrong

[@BlueNerdMC]

Yeah they do oxidize over time, but they do take longer when they don't have a few blocks gap between them. I just wanted it to be seen built in the green stage as i'm not a huge fan of the 1st orange stage. But it would of still oxidized over time =)

Something about the way you shaped/textured that ice cave and pool looked really, really great. And I love the parrot enclosure!
