I Built the ULTIMATE Nether Base in Survival Minecraft!

Ever since the Nether update, I've wondered if it's possible to survive in the dimension just like you would in the overworld. Today, we're putting that to the test with a fully-functional Nether base that includes a respawn room, a Hoglin-powered farm, and much more!

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! 🎉 What else should we add to our Nether base?

[@avinashjoshi7871]

Hi SoupSoup, just came here to say that I will be attending to my exams the next 2 weeks, so I won't be able to see your videos, but will definitely binge watch them after my final exams! Bye for now

[@_cephie]

dude love the approach keep it up

[@_Fabrics]

Happy Easter ❤❤🎉

[@NoobyNubguy]

Happy Easter! Loving the series, I think it would be cool to add a room that’s kind of like a “research center” having different things from the nether (mobs, fungus, trees, ores) that you are “studying” Maybe trapping a zombie pig man in a glass container to study, things like that! Your so creative you can probably add even more to it then I could think of if you end up doing it anyway 😅 You’ve inspired me a lot in my own Minecraft world, I wanna do so much more then I could’ve thought of doing before watching you, so I have to say, thank you for making this amazing series, I’m looking forward to seeing this world grow and become even more full of life!

After 3 days, Jesus rose from the Nether.

[@Mentally15broken]

A tip for the interior design of the nether base: You can place light blue glass blocks in front of the hazmat suit and put two pistons facing towards it and power them to push the glasses into it and make it look as if the suit is in a capsule✨

[@stingspring3168]

I just found your channel a few days ago and your videos have been great to watch. I love the slower pace and cozy vibe that you provide. I can't remember the last time I just watched a Minecraft lets play with no gimmicks. I like how in your episodes you make a goal, but you still allow yourself to go on detours and adventures.

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!

Question: will Gill be getting a friend in his tank? Maybe the reason why he is always trying to blow up the base is because he wants a friend lol.

[@spongebobislyfe5906]

Sadly axolotls attack all underwater mobs, so Gill will just murder anything that gets placed in there.

[@WafflesMinecraft]

Just found your channel from your "How Minecraft is Changing KZbin" video and I just wanted to thank you for reminding me what got me into KZbin. That video managed to revitalize the excitement that I lost as I began basing my videos more off the potential "exciting" content that could result from a modpack rather than just playing it. Now I am part of that 100 day KZbinr party that you mention in the video and while I do plan on sticking to 100 days videos for the foreseeable future, you're video has reminded me to just let the 100 days happen to me rather than making sure I check things off a list I need to complete for the content. Apologies for the word vomit (hopefully it all made sense lol). Loved the videos I've watched so far, and gonna continue catching up on the series :)

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

That’s really cool to hear! Thanks for stopping by!

[@Dralzun]

Having modular-style bases and the 01, 02, etc naming convention for your nether outposts is a pretty nifty and tidy concept! IMO it’s not too similar to Dallas’ nether bases but if you’re looking for more inspiration to further differentiate, check out the McMurdo Station concept art by OZ Architecture. It’s a modernization effort for a research station in Antarctica and uses the same color scheme you have. Same survival concept too (save for the lecture hall unless you want to build that to brief us audience/viewers)! Great episode and looking forward to the next! I am worried about what Gil is up to though, hahaha.

[@doughrollz7216]

Love this channel man, reignited my minecraft spark. Thank you.

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Wow, thank you so much! So glad I could inspire you!

[@jugogaming3614]

Hope everything is good soup soup ❤ your series has been really good and I hope you are able to continue uploading videos

[@Jussieboi_]

Where is soup soup? Its been 2 weeks😢

[@yeets_galore3133]

the "we're not goats" part is so funny, and the question of what the ingame players actually are is GOING to keep me up at night xD

[@TrulyFailedReal]

no it wont i found the answer in 5 seconds were mobs everything else is

[@BankoIsMe]

@@TrulyFailedReal not exactly. Is Steve a human or is he a Minecraft mob. Just because everything else is doesn’t mean he is as well. He’s either an animal from Minecraft or the human being animal.

[@ponfi0275]

Also he can't be a mob because 'mob' means 'mobile', aka NPC. (This is official, not some dumb theory)

[@TrulyFailedReal]

@@BankoIsMe an animal from minecraft is mob!!! read the comment right above me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@basedx.]

9:50 you'd love some vanilla+ clientside mods like Ambient Sounds, Presence Footsteps and Sound Physics to add reverb to caves, etc. It'll never happen from Mojangs side, but those lightweight mods really add atmosphere you'd never want to miss again :)

[@jakekeltoncrafts]

Awesome episode as always SoupSoup! Favorite element is the yellow dyed leather armor. A few base upgrade ideas: 1) Use signs on the walls to indicate what rooms are what. The text dye and glow ink system can make for some awesome signs, and adds a layer of detail and function, especially as the nether base grows with more hallways. 2) Adding a teal or crimson stripe to the outside of the base with empty signs added to the wall would add some nice color. 3) Adding some quartz pillars in the walls could be excellent detailing and since the nether has a ton of quartz it would make sense. 4) Adding an airlock to the door to outside could help keep mobs from wandering in and add some fun lore detail. 5) You can silk touch the red and teal ground to plant some shroom trees around the base and decorate it more 6) Adding string on the floor of the base could add some nice detail and keep mobs from spawning in the base, or you can drop the floor down a half slab to prevent spawning. 7) I like someone else's suggestion of locking an armor stand in glass blocks to look like a hazmat suit. 8) Armor trims add wonderful detail to all types of armor when you have time to find them and use them 9) Add some antenne's to the top of the base, like sending signals back and forth with other bases when you build them 10) Maps of the nether look like static on a TV screen that could be cool for a monitor on the wall. If you want more, let me know! I always have more ideas than time to build, haha. Thanks for another excellent episode!

[@omichromium]

Had a few bad days because of university, I've had to restart 2 assignments I'd almost completed because of bad criteria sheets, so this vid definitely uplifted me, thank you as always

[@Wildy366]

Just caught up to the series! THIS SERIES IS GREAT!!!

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@dilly6518]

I can see SoupSoup joining in on hermitcraft in the very near future, or at least being apart of their community. The level of wholesomeness is on par with GoodTimesWithScar, Grian, and many other hermits, but he also has this uniqueness about him that separates him from the rest. We truly need more content like this, especially with all the fast paced and highly saturated Minecraft content that’s constantly getting repetitive and annoying (I’m calling out myself as well). If you read this SoupSoup, please keep up the incredible and inspiring content! Please don’t get discouraged and keep going!

[@weallfalld0wn]

I can genuinely see SoupSoup up there with big names like those in no time, he has brought such a refreshing yet chill approach to the game!

[@zachcriss7040]

I hope he joins the hermit craft season too. I love that series

[@EduardoSanzio]

I don't know, whats different about him is that he is relatable, we could build the stuff he builds, it's a single player world, that's whats soo good. As much as I love Grian, Mumbo, Scar and everybody else it's a different feeling with SoupSoup, much more intimistic and close to home, even nostalgic

[@aquablurekh910]

Modification for the armor equipper, remove all Redstone wiring outside, replace the pressure plate with a Redstone dust and add a button on the middle dispenser. One click you’ll be fully equipped & no mobs can activate buttons. Bonus tip: you can add 2 more dispensers one on top of your head pointing down & the other under your feet pointing up.

[@Honey_Sweets]

Babe wake up! Soupsoup posted!

[@kwitchercrynandgame9527]

The automatic gear equip is super cool and the fact that a Piglin stepped into it is freaking hilarious. Another great video!

[@v3nu5_c1rcu5]

soupsoup be like: hey guys in this series were discovering the meaning of life togheter but were using minecraft so noone suspects a thing. im so exited to do this with you guys

[@funnysillyclown]

I love how different the style of this build is compared to the overworld base! It helps the nether stand out from the overworld even more than it already does. The piglin farm is super fun too. Your emphasis on fun over efficiency is what makes this series shine. Because of how blocky and abstract the shapes of the rooms are, I think the base could benefit from some verticality. But in an equally abstract way. The best way I could describe it would be the way the bases are in Subnautica. You could make a room for growing netherwart similar to your greenhouse, but with this same style we’ve been keeping. You could again lean into the studying of the netherwart like it’s this strange substance we don’t know much about yet… I built a lot of “laboratory-like” things in Minecraft growing up, so this episode was a real treat for me. I loved it! I hope Gill isn’t up to too much trouble..

[@jakekeltoncrafts]

Just on the thumbnail my thought was "subnautica in space" in the nether. The lab rooms with the halls and the white and grey *and should add teal highlights* would be really nice. Plus would be cool to make an airlock to make sure the nether air doesn't "infect" the air in the base.

[@funnysillyclown]

@@jakekeltoncrafts ooooh so true!!

[@eroditjakupi1016]

The nether base looks like a Martian colony

[@Duck_Tape459]

I've watched all your videos in a single day and as a Minecraft player for more than 7 years, you've actually activated a part of me I missed. A creative version of me.. And for that, I am thankful mate.

[@Cuprite1024]

I didn't even realize you *could* breed Hoglins, since they're hostile. Neat.

[@owiedepowie]

In the doorway of the armor equiper you can dig four blocks down, put a sign in the hole on the side of the floor and put a carpet on top of the sign. This tricks mobs into thinking they can't walk over the carpet.

[@b0zzman]

You play Minecraft the way I play Terraria. Absolutely love this series.

[@ponfi0275]

I have really poor eyesight at the moment and the member shrine blends in with the spruce trees (same shape), because I can only really see the silhouettes. I actually think it's really cool, though.

[@Maciejix]

Hi soup! I have some ideas. First of all, add redstone timer to "Fungus Factory" to not make it waste so many bonemeal. Second, IT IS PERFERCT PLACE TO MAKE WARTS FARM. Also, for the QOTD will you share saves with us? Thats all. See ya in Minecraft

[@honkcz136]

If you make floor from bottom slabs no one spawn inside i think it looks nicer if the pigs stay outside

[@monohymn]

As well as the ghasts, if there's enough open space, there's going to be a whole bunch of chaos...

[@AlexandHuman]

I think inspiring the nether side from the game Doom would be nice. I also think adding in vats or chambers of various "liquids" for aesthetic would be nice, like a white glass vat for liquid oxygen, or a green glass vat for storing a mob for research purposes, or a light blue vat for "liquid hydrogen" to act as air conditioning and to pretend cool down the area. Having a room for each process could double for other stuff too! The oxygen room could be the nether-side food room or the hazmat suit room (refuel and resuit up), the research green vat could double up as a piglin trading hall. The liquid hydrogen air conditioning could double up as a the potion crafting or overworld tree farm room (with the excuse being the air conditioning also acts a environmental reconditioner)

[@M7md2ko9]

You could use some pistons in the sides to shake the platform so the fungus will be collected automatically 😊 And for the hoglin one, you can put some dispensers with lava buckets on top and just activate then deactivate them for a second so the baby one don't get hurt(but you need to make an observer loop clock to make it flicker so they get killed fater and be more reliable).And like that you won't kill the babies with your sword and make it more industrial And get cooked meat if you like (that might make the smoker useless but I'm sure you could work around it)😊 Hope you will read this *ARTICLE* 😂 and sorry for the length but i really wanted to help you with your amazing sries ❤

[@bboi4568]

love this series, ive been sitting here watching it for the last 2 hours. Keep up the good videos

[@bruh-rs8vw]

for the empty space in the control room area maybe add some sea lanterns, it kind of adds a sort of spacey or sci fi feel

[@egovinco]

I hope you're okay SoupSoup!❤

[@zOOpygOOpert]

Maybe in that room with the dials, some stone and deepslate fences for pipes could be fitting

[@Al_X-2005]

I'm a little late but I have a suggestion for the control room; adding some crimson vines/vegetation might help with some details. Having the Nether creep into the lab could be cool

[@emeraldfrag]

Been here from the first episode, keep up the great vids!

[@K9ffka]

This series really feels like a old minecraft lets play just in newer versions of minecraft, i love it. Also for a question i wanted to ask did you ever play any old console minecraft?

[@Dark_KK]

Awesome base, and if you ever expand it make it go under lava in a Glass tube!

[@daskalosBCE]

your nether base is giving me some serious subnautica vibes

[@fortniteduck4996]

Just got back from a movie and this is the first thing I watch :3

[@alphabros5226]

4:30 I headcanon that players are essentially "main characters" that can be anyone. An example is that while Steve and Alex are humans, players like FoxyNoTail (love his create series) are anthromorphic humanoids. I myself am currently an undead skeleteon!

[@Russelleanmass]

[@Seht1]

Happy Easter soup

[@notavery]

9:50 there's a resource pack I use called dynamic sounds that adds a lot of ambient noise to the overworld! you should check it out, it makes the game feel a lot more alive if you ask me

[@Rakkeyal]

Something I do is I build roads from location to location, but any location more than 2k away, I will build a teleportation command block once the road is finished. If you're in a single player world, you can do /time add so its like fast travel with a cost. What I do though is I usually only allow for the command teleport to be in a ship and build a harbour, so its not something you can just "do" but requires a lot of attractive set up before you can use it.

[@Seanlolplaysblitz]

You should definitely add a piglin bartering area to your nether base!

[@everlast5316]

Will you eventually use the smithing templates for different armors in this world? Like for example, the hazmat suit with some netherite trim

Hi SoupSoup! I normally dont really comment on videos, but I just wanted to thank you for this series! I really struggle with perfectionism, inside and outside of Minecraft, which makes it extremely hard to actually enjoy a minecraft world nowadays. But with this series you made me realise that the most important thing in playing Minecraft is simply enjoying it in your own way. So I made a new world called "Take it Easy" and am really enjoying taking things easy and slow! I became a villager to thank you for these insights xD, I'm curious to see which villager will be named after me! (Also, I love the Gill storyline!)

[@andromeda16384]

You should take on an ocean monument before fighting the ender dragon- it gives amazing prismarine lights and you can use it to decorate a lot of stuff, especially the nether base

[@DraculHemming]

I would probably add a Lodestone and a paired Compass to your Nether Base eventually.

[@user-vs1dq9cq2t]

looks like a vault from fallout, i like it!!

[@SunChaserEUC]

If you get an elytra, keeping it unenchanted or just no mending would make it better. At least for me. Then it would be like your tools where the durability will eventually run out. Plus it’s semi hard to repair
