the behind the scenes of the mezalian palace being super empty inside 💀💀💀💀

[@MiiaKats]

💀

[@sarararra47]

LMAO true

[@Freya_Freya]

LOL

[@deepar2002]

I know, its jaw-dropping how huge it is

[@Lindsay_tdi_x]

💀

[@lillithak]

Joel, you gotta remember that the mezalean palace didn't get finished because the end of the world happened. Otherwise, you would have filled the interior more. Even so, it is still my absolute favorite mega build of yours.

[@LuckyBenjamin_]

Huh I do see how the end of the world kinda obstructs that yeah

[@lillithak]

@LuckyBenjamin yeah, the end of the world, man.. just sorta takes you by surprise, doesn't it?

[@moonescentpearl]

gosh i hate when the end of the world ruins my interior building

[@BrockLogicGaming]

The ‘Minecraft Goals’ mega base will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m still a bit salty it never got finished but I respect Joel’s decision to end the series ☺️

[@raptorqueen1983]

Same

[@lilypainter666]

Same

[@astrokitty5956]

yeah it’s really nostalgic to think about it now

[@depressedpotato2145]

@whaaa t the pizza looks good but it needs more sauce but good enough- tho it seems a bit unsanitary

[@rhoslyn_rose]

It's nice to see the mezalian mega palace again! It was amazing to see being built!

[@Imtootiredforthissh1t]

I remember watching all of these series and being in awe at how amazing Joel is at building! It awesome how much he’s improved, especially with the interiors, I wish I could build like this :’)

[@lauranagelhout4446]

i wish i could bild like that as well

[@NM-xj6om]

Same

[@astrokitty5956]

oof would be cool

[@beatriceplay]

jm not a great builder by any means, but im improving and one thing i recommend is just, try things out, experiment yk? try stuff uve never tried and even if it doesnt look like what you wanted, youre still improving

[@beatriceplay]

[@cheetah1001]

I think you should do a recreation of the 1st one (The very first honourable mention). I would love to see what you would do now compared to then since it was so long ago, plus the 4 seasons surrounding. I feel like your building style has grown since then and it would be interesting to see.

[@lance9263]

Joel's building abilities both leaves me in awe and humbles me every single time

[@millyd9481]

you are genuinely one of my favourite builders, your ability to adapt to different styles is crazy good!! edit: i'm famous omg

[@TH3Mood08]

@im sacred shut

[@belterskelterXD]

@im sacred up

[@adean5707]

@im sacred you

[@josiahnurse9458]

@im sacred bot

[@astrokitty5956]

yup agreed

[@kezi7728]

Number 1 is definitely the Mezalian palace. The scale of that build is really impressive and it’s definitely my favorite build of his (although secretly beans palace is number one because it was the first mega base he built so it holds a special place in everyone’s hearts).

[@dotdotdot5098]

i love the x life base the most. it's built with such intricacy and so much character. you can really tell how much thought was put into each feature and it never fails to amaze me every time i look back at it.

[@TheNamelessRen]

Fr I just had a throwback of all the Jeremy stuff lol. I haven't seen that base on so long j forgot how great it was

[@violetsmith7552]

Yeah seeing it again makes me want to cry I still remember me looking forward on the next part of the base and the Jeremy thing was hilarious.

[@StarDustIsMyOyster]

@@violetsmith7552 that is my feelings exactly

[@mara2110]

i love seeing your mega bases getting bigger and bigger with each series

[@YoungBlueJayOFF]

Those random creatures in ex-life are just so fascinating it should be like some sort of lore because that's so weird how they just are there after you are gone

[@aloe_]

I feel like the Xlife series was definitely the start of the crazy big builds. It was so cool to see Joel’s progression throughout the years I’ve been subscribed. Amazing work on all the builds though

[@paulaclaassens8452]

We can all agree that all those builds are AMAZING

[@hermionesmith3838]

your building skills always shock me. i've been playing minecraft for YEARS now and still need to look up building tutorials. my absolute favourite mega-base of yours has got to be your mezalean castle. i just started watching your empires series and i love watching different buildings filled with colour and creativity always inspires me to learn how to build like you. mad props to you joel 💚

[@taishillave3490]

Can we just Appreciate the effort here

[@spiv1972]

no 😂

[@claremcculloch1903]

There is a comment like this on LITERALLY every youtube video. It's so annoying

[@alexabbecker]

I think it’s funny how Joel spent almost a whole series just to make a storage system😂

[@jennisconfuzzled]

Anyone else been around Joel and Lizzie’s channels for almost a decade, and are just amazed at how much Joel’s playing and Building had progressed??? I remember when Lizzie was “better” at Mc and Joel didn’t know as much, like some of their older modded series or their older Mc videos where Lizzie would prank Joel.

[@limenutella]

ur ability to build in such a wide variety of styles and make it work so well every time is so insane to me!! ur such a skilled builder its been crazy to see ur improvement over the years

[@barelycompetentgaming1980]

Loving the video, but an idea for you, it would be great seeing some of your friends rank your builds. Having Grian and/or Scar do this would both be fun and interesting and perhaps you could rank some of their builds too

[@andreia_silvestre]

YESSS

[@applemnster6309]

Completely agree!

[@ThatAutumnKid]

I swear Joel’s mega bases are 99% for show and 1% useful

[@katleido]

I feel like that’s most megabases honestly lol, unless you need a bunch of large farms that can fill up all that space

[@sistersidney_]

getting to see everything outside of their respective series as a walkthrough while joel reminisces and shares bts is the best thing ever, i can’t believe how tiny the mezalea palace interior is in comparison to the actual build size!

[@briannakae8060]

agree with your rankings 100%!!! whenever im showing someone new your content, i ALWAYS pull up pictures of mezalea and the palace. it is SO BEAUTIFUL. even my friends who dont like minecraft are super impressed by it. its genuinely the most unique thing ive ever seen anyone make in this game, from the colors to the shape to it being in a mesa biome. it is SO COOL. i also am so excited for stratos to grow continually, too. its amazing to me how your empire has an upper and lower section. i especially love how they are different color schemes but find ways to tie into eachother and look like they are together. so glad ive found your content this past few months, you've easily become my favorite youtuber.

[@Gay_Jesus]

I love your mega bases so much I think you're genuinely the best builder I've ever seen

[@jizhou7262]

Apart from these mega ones, I'd say Joel's bridge house in Last Life and Relation Ship in Double Life are pretty lovely as well!

[@BlitzerPlays44]

The builds in this video are insane. It makes me excited to see what Joel will build for us in the future

[@claremcculloch1903]

My absolute favourite megabase from anything is the Mezalea Empire's Palace from season 1 of empires. It's absolutely AMAZING, props to Joel for the commitment and the SIZE. Its freaking MASSIVE!

[@sophie1453]

all of your builds are so cool. i can never place more than 15 blocks without giving up

[@nightstrike6299]

I agree with vertical slabs being needed in the game. I also think Mojang should add that mod where you can have different slabs of different woods in the same block as well. The creativity options with those two additions can be endless

[@thegameplayer125]

what always amazed me about the mezalian palace is that it made me feel like i was looking at what the kremlin and taj mahal would look like if both of them were built together in the same style and location. it's as if you took an image of both sites and merged them together in minecraft

[@applemnster6309]

YES

[@applemnster6309]

What a great insight

[@oatmealcookie02]

I'm glad Joel already prepared a portfolio for getting into next season of Hermitcraft /hj Your builds look stunning!

[@QuietMantee678]

3:20 him : now I know it’s not completely finished at the back Grian:first time (like the meme)

[@gothicpixi6324]

The x-life mega base has a special place in my heart because binge-watching your series is what got me back into mcyt and has brought so much joy into my life. Praise Jeremy and happy new year 💕

[@mothisnotasleep]

All the creatures just dying while your showing the beautiful x-life interior is hilarious

[@amayacleveland5658]

Always looked up to you and your builds so I love to see the progress you make with every single one

[@DyanHall_]

I think we can all agree that all of these builds are AMAZING

[@paulaclaassens8452]

YESS

[@sistersidney_]

a whole video where we just admire joel’s building skills, beautiful

[@ameya1326]

Omg. This video got me so much memories.😭 I remember watching xlife mega build live

[@InterstellarNoa]

What a fun blast from the past this was, i remember watching you build all of these. Keep going, these are so cool

[@crunchysneaker9598]

i absolutely adore the mezalian palace, it is so vibrant and colorful and has a super cool build style!!!

[@xavierwynn993]

I would love to see a video of you finishing your most liked unfinished mega bases

[@PotatoGamer-rg4nn]

Joel your building abilities are so diverse it’s insane!! Great vid, and amazing bases :D!

[@NickAndriadze]

The one you made in Grian's 100 day hardcore video series is genuinely a very solid build. It may not be as gigantic or impressive as some of your others, but it's definitely a full package of a build, complete in every detail on every direction (Even if the full interior never saw the light of day in the actual series itself) and overall extremely pleasing looking.

[@sagaalvsilver4827]

This video made me cry remembering all this. Ive been part of all this bilds and thier plot. I cabt believe how far you have improved and how far you have gotten. Thank you

[@Willow12866]

Oh my gosh JeremyVille!! Yes I loved that series and inside of the mega bass was just so magical 🤩

[@senshinotenno]

I always think you're both insane and incredible to make these large builds in survival. They are amazing. Your number one is also my favorite and something I'd like to take inspiration from in the future for a build.

[@LeonardoPLK]

loved this video, nice throwback reminiscing the past series, couldn't agree more with your top, Joel.

[@Nocturnal_Rei]

after watching this again, made me think of what if joel decided to finish the unfinished megabases for a video maybe a series, i would love to see that, but i know that its arguably too time consuming

[@someone-ug1nz]

I actually rlly like lower sratos. Ik it's not shown as much in videos but it's very good

[@kaylinchhim7517]

number 2 is so close to my heart i loved last life but the mezalian palace definitely is the best work of yours imo. i love seeing your builds continuing to inspire me ever since i was little!

[@art.addict44]

when you say "now i look at it its not a MEGA base" yet i cant even build a house without it looking bad. ur builds are epic x

[@anasjunejo5654]

I was so excited to see the mezialian mega base on empires download and also loved seeing your megabases through time and hearing your opinions on them now. Very cool

[@TheEklipseGamer]

Very cool Joel, I probably won’t remember a lot of these, but they’re all amazing, so great job

[@PastelDemon07]

I absolutely LOVE your builds, they inspire me sm

[@marissaholland7517]

You deserve more credit for the time you put into these bases and seasons, i hope you get more subscribers, you truly deserve it

[@MRD_III]

Stratos is easily my favorite! The color palette is absolutely gorgeous! And mezalia was super amazing too!

[@sistersidney_]

the growth in build skill & style from 2015 crazy craft to now is absolutely insane, im forever in awe of the time, skill, & creativity that goes into your builds & videos

[@prisma921]

wow, this is really brought back memories from watching all your videos as they came out, i may or may not be crying

[@jasminesfld7]

mc goals and your episodes of x life were genuinely what got me through quarantine, what a throwback

[@Erin_saruss]

This has been such a trip down memory lane! Omg I remember each one being built also you r so talented! Love ur vids

[@Taracinablue]

I started following you at the beginning of Empires S1, so it was neat seeing previous builds of yours =)

[@KatySussens]

WOW, this is soo cool! This must have taken ages, thank you for doing so much for us :)

[@hannahleigh9062]

lowkey seeing all the weird creatures in the x-life base made it feel like it had been reclaimed by nature after having been abandoned at the end of the series 👀

[@Blueflight123]

I remember seeing the adventure time treehouse in crazycraft and thinking that was huge. You've improved so much since then!! 😁

[@ivyleavesandroses]

i remember so many of these bases being built haha i can’t believe the progress youve made too!

[@Katiem7311]

The paintings you have of Lizzie are so freaking adorable😭😭

[@PixelCollie]

7:57 I swear, people who say vertical slabs shouldn't be added have never tried building with them. I have been a while and it feels natural! I have a feeling once they get added someday people will scoff at old versions that didn't have it, like we do with swimming mechanics and elytra.

[@adresstia]

I would never be able to pick a favorite, all of your builds are fantastic

[@Gollish]

The Beans Palace from X-Life was probably my favourite mega base, which is funny cause X-Life was probably my favourite series ever

[@catsumc]

Although I love all of your mega bases, the X Life mega base has a special place in my heart, I love it so much 💗

[@kimmi1392]

your builds look so awesome, you really have an eye for detail and colour all the colour pallets just looked so good. Also i loved lizzies flower mod, i just wish there was a 1.19.2 version of it, but i understand a lot of work goes into making a mod, but i was a really beautiful mod, you and lizzie are both very talented people.

[@adrianaamador9664]

This is so cool to see all his builds progress through time. And I’m happy cause i watched all of the series

[@dr.destroy_clash_royale4279]

having just rewatched empires s1, you still marvelling at the mezalian palace now and how many blocks was great. I was half expecting a "this is how many shulker boxes this took"

[@codylabrecque5446]

I started as a fWhip guy. Then through Empires S1 I became a Sausage guy and still am. I remember seeing your palace and just being kinda stunned, even though I only ever saw it piece by piece. Absolutely remarkable! And as your vids pop up more and more, I guess you're my 3rd Minecraft guy. You're always hilarious in Empires too, haha. Good stuff.

[@SneakyPicknick]

I think you are one of the best builders! or at least my favourite! I'd love you to go through your thought process like how you choose materials and how you make shapes go together!

[@layabstar]

X-Life was one of, if not my favorite smp series of yours, based off builds alone. I still rewatch it every now and again because of how entertaining and beautiful it was

[@partiallyalive1284]

This unlocks memories because at first I'll look and be like "oh I must not have watched that series," but then it all comes back.

[@midsummernightmare]

Joel you are an absolute madman. These look incredible.

[@GachaWolfy]

It was so fun seeing all of the builds I watched Joel build and the series. Smallish has awlays been an insperation and such an amazing builder for all those many, many years. XD 💖💖 I still have the world download for the 1000+ days with the detailed castle. A true pain to load but a glory none-the-less. I do not really known what build Joel has done is my favourite because they are all extroadinary.

[@brightwist]

o7 to jeremyism! got slight whiplash seeing the x life palace again! the mezalean palace (mezalean? mezalian?) probably has to be my favourite of everything you've built, the style's very cool and the palace really suits the biome mezalea is located in :D

[@Strawfairy_milk]

I’m so glad I got to see the Beans palace from x life again. I loved that series and you base was absolutely stunning

[@norawesche2169]

I love all of them! You are an awesome builder!

[@adiaudk]

Ahhh this brings me back to when I used to binge watch these series I'm obsessed

[@brithoff1]

Your Mezalia build is the reason I started watching empires and the reason I discovered every creator on that server. It is literally breathtaking!

[@finngywingies]

I love your builds, and your empires season 1 base is probably my favorite

[@eeyoreeeyore9623]

I began watching you with Empires S1, absolutely adored everything about the Mezalean palace

[@jennymay9793]

The builds are all amazing and so much work, and trying to fill out all the in sides as with mezalian palace is hard you did a lot of the interior of most of the builds a achievement in it self, every build has been different and I have enjoyed seeing them all come to life 😎.

[@gamingoyeah279]

I loved your mazalian palace cuz it’s very different with your own ‘theme’

[@atariischaotic]

I’ve watched every single one of these bases being built and am so glad I got to see them again in this video

[@reekahstinks]

Your mega base from Empires deserves that number 1 spot. Such an amazing build

[@alia_and_gotin3117]

Joel, you are a building monster. Beautiful work.

[@mistymuicutie]

Wow they all look gorgeous!

[@serendipityplays]

the beans palace will forever be my favourite, x-life was super comforting to me during the pandemic and that series will forever have a special place in my heart

[@Aphrodite7673]

I absolutely LOVE the castle! It's beautiful!

[@m30wz3rzz]

First :D also I love u and Lizzie so sososososo muchhh ❤️❤️❤️

[@solomonrs7447]

All of these insane builds yet I can't finish a dirt hut even while streaming. My procrastination knows no bounds.

[@vismaykedilaya1318]

Mezalea is i think one of the best megabases i think ever seen, not just from you, but from most other megabases

[@rukastar9946]

Joel should have a mini series where he actually finishes the mega builds by finishing the inside, outside, etc for extra content. I think that would be interesting

[@GameKitty]

this brings back so many memories tbh

[@ThePotatoGaming101]

Your builds are literally the best no question
