This isn't to discourage anyone or to belittle railways but I was a fan of using a boat on ice (when that was added) and if done in the nether, you can go really long distances in a short period of time. I have done both in the nether and in the overworld. If done in the overworld, i found it best to do it either in the air or underground. The railways are definetly nostalgic, though, and do offer some benefits. With minecart/railway mods, it would probably have even more benefits. Great video.

I've had a few people shit on this idea because "ice roads in the nether is faster and more efficient" I want to thank you for recognizing everyone has different tastes and different needs that call for different solutions. I am quite happy with my rail system. Though while chatting with someone about elytras, I'm beginning to realize having options can give your world a bit more je ne sais quoi. All of this to say, I think you have a great point about ice roads, and now I'm beginning to consider placing some ice-road viaducts around my world too XP

@@n00b_asaurus Well, as you point out, railways can have many benefits over other methods. One of the things I liked about your video was when you went up high and was able to look upon your world from that vantage point. Moving vertically is not something iceways can achieve, at least not in vanilla. I know you wanted a more natural feel for the railway but have you considered making the railway go up high to view your creations? I did not see a natural way to achieve this, like by going up a mountain, so a twisted tower may have to be used. I don't know if there is fall damage for minecarts but if there isn't, you could also shoot yourself down on to your lower railway too. Anyway, just spewing ideas. Thanks for the reply and good luck.

@@n00b_asaurus I certainly think when it comes to transportation in your world, diversity will become a massive strength. Flying around the world in an elytra, or ice boats through the nether, would be an excellent method to transport yourself and a relatively light amount of resources/single entity at extreme speed, in contrast to the rather slow rail network. However, what the rail does away with speed, it gains in capacity, as you have mentioned. If you can get minecart chains to play along, you can move an insane amount of resources AND entities all at once, which would eventually surpass the other methods in speed depending on the quantity of things being moved. Future automation would possibly even open up pathways to diverting specific resources to specific places simultaneously. It isn't fast, but that doesn't mean it isn't efficient. There's no need to have all your eggs in one basket. Travelling the world becomes so much more convenient and satisfying when the mode becomes a choice of what you want, and how effective it is at achieving the current goal.

My Minecraft play revolves around creating worlds with one purpose (like collecting every armor trim). Once they're done, I tend to abandon the worlds and start a new one. I've grown up watching etho's lets play and it's hard not to want a world like his, but I've come to accept my gameplay. it's okay to not have a long running worlds. All of that to say this video really makes me want to have a long running world xD. I found your commentary on what this world is/represents super insightful. I especially liked your comment on let's plays and how the very nature of real time recording forces one to think about making the video rather than playing.

In regards to your question on "would people be interested in an on-going format of videos like this one?" I say, on my behalf, absolutely. I have ADHD, a disorder where one of the most prime symptoms is that I have such a low attention span that it's almost comical. Many videos that are long-spanned like this I often click, listen in for a while, and leave once I feel as though I've been entertained enough and am now getting bored. This video, however, there was something, or multiple things for that matter, that kept me. There's something about your down-to-earth passion and knowledge that really kept me enticed. Of course, the railway was very entertaining and stimulating to experience, but your commentary really gave this video a very wonderful flavor. Your voice, tone, words, etc, it all just comes together really nicely. In other words, yes, I'd be very supportive if you decided to make more videos akin to this where the *narrative* is what piques your interest or what's on your mind. Great video.

I watched this about a week ago, but I'm coming back to talk about one of the remarks you made. I think it was more in the latter half, but you talked about your playstyle that I am finding to be a genius idea. I've found myself in Minecraft servers and even when video editing feeling the same thing, if I work on it for a while with the project being "complete" looming mysteriously ahead, I'll burn out. So the coding idea of Perpetually Completing a project, even if it not may be actually ready to ship a great method for motivation. I've applied it to a Beta Minecraft world where I've wanted to build the Monte Palace from Portugal, but never stated. I had gathered materials, but never place anything down. But then hearing this, I built the bridge that is in the palace area. Now is the palace ready to be shown off? No, but now I have this bridge, completely done, that I can say is complete and get that satisfaction from. Thank you for this idea, I've even applied it to video editing as well where I now start my day just fully finishing a segment of a video. Yes, the video is not done, but that one minute segment is fully complete, and I can look back at it as motivation to keep up the edit. Also, cool rails.

It's funny you bring that up! Because after making this video, I got my first set of elytra... and then 2 more to boot. Combine that with the mob farm and sugar cane farm I had at my base, I was ready to start flying around my world... and yet, I still use the rail network exclusively to get around. I watch a lot of the channel "not just bikes", and one of the things he points out is that people tend to favor cars because that's the type of transportation being catered too. And his argument is that if other modes of transportation were to be made available, you'd find that more people may prefer other more relaxing modes of getting around. I think the same effect is happening here. I think people tend to stick with elytras because they haven't given themselves any other options. Which gives me an idea: I should make a road going around my world as well. That way I have the option to travel by horses, camels, or just walking if I wanted to :)

The algorithm sent me here. Having the node map in the thumbnail, and noticing the length of the video, had me interested. I enjoy long-form content far more than tightly edited content. A lot of what you talked about strongly resonated with me. I too have a difficult time buckling down and working on just one thing for a long time while hoping that burn-out doesn’t reach me. And when it does, I’m down for months at a time. I’m second generation inattentive-type ADHD, and I’m pro-medication when it’s combined with therapy. I was diagnosed at a very young age, and have a two-generation support system of my parents and grandparents got me through American K-12 education with pretty good grades. I never wanted to be top of the class, but I felt the pressure from education authority figures. My brain is really, really good at rote memorization and regurgitation of information, and since American K-12 is all about that, I wasn’t the stereotypical story of someone with ADHD getting really low grades before finally being diagnosed. Unfortunately, this locked me out of a few state programs that help kids with ADHD work on organization and time-management skills. For some reason in my state at the time, you also needed to have an average grade of C or lower on top of an ADHD diagnosis in order to qualify for the program. I had an average of B+ at the time, and graduated compulsory education with a B- average. The grading scale had switched to one with a stricter percentage range starting 11th grade, and the last math class I had to take was a trigonometry course. I didn’t click with the teacher’s instructional methods nor the course material, and got a tutor to help me get my lowest grade in K-12: a C+. The reason why I bring that up is because I… started to slide. I realized a few years later that I was holding myself to unrealistic standards: the very unhealthy side to perfectionism. I went into college right after high school, and I think I shouldn’t have. I had a grad student instructor that berated me privately and publicly my second semester; for a friggin’ mandatory composition class of all subjects. I reached out; found out that my college, at least for me, does seem to care about its students. But college has been really difficult for me. My college dropped its associate degrees from all majors the semester I started, so I’m locked into a bachelor’s for a hands-on, programming-heavy technology major. The instructors and professors, although few, and not the most socially adept people, have revitalized my interest in teaching and my passion for helping people who are genuine. Being stuck with online courses for two years and change really slowed down my pace right when I was at my best physical and mental health in over a decade, but I’m getting more involved to stick through with it, as all the friends I made have either graduated and found online jobs, dropped out, or continued into grad school where they’re in classes when I’m going to bed. I’ll be the first person on my dad’s side of the family to get a Bachelor’s degree. Anyways, I found that my passion, focus, and drive for a narrow, yet broad goal - passing a few classes in a semester - starts to die out and put me in a mental block about 3 months into things… right when the length it takes to finish course work doubles. And I stupidly thought it was a lack of discipline, as I was naively following the advice from some very different life experiences of a close family member who had a buffer of working and a stable romantic relationship while taking night classes to get two associate’s degrees (which were done so long ago that today they do not total in credit hours to a bachelor’s program). With the assistance of my therapist, and my own research from academic papers, I found out that no, it’s not a lack of discipline: it’s how my brain is wired when I’m only going to and from school. Lack of wanting to date and regional businesses having the worrying reputation of pushing college employees into a state of “40-hour work week or else we’ll fire you since this is a right-to-work state where laws have extended to employers having the right to fire employees without the requirement of stating a reason for doing so, as well as part-time positions legally not provided with full-time benefits for working 40+ hour weeks as long as it does not go on past six consecutive weeks” aside, I found that going to a few meetings of two clubs have extended my burnout point from 3 months to three-and-a-half months. I’m on a life journey right now to find out where the sweet spot is in variety to prevent burnout. It already has tangible effects on my mental and physical health, and I’m still pretty young.

A lot of folks can learn how to rekindle their love for Minecraft with videos and content like this. I mean this as no slight, but it’s clear that the organic way you built this world was not heavily informed by modern min-maxxing strategies from the terminally online MC community. A lot of players who have been with the game for 10+ years like myself are inundated with a decade of over-edited and depressingly impressive gameplay footage that heavily informs how we view the game now. Hyper-efficient farms, maxed out gear and enchantments, incredibly detailed and ornate builds, being completely up keyed into the development cycle, etc. To a perfectionist like myself, I thought that is how the game HAD to be played, no room for sub-optimal designs. This absurd notation inevitably leads to rapid burnout. I think videos like this demonstrate the benefit of playing Minecraft how you want to play it. Don’t want to spend 10 hours blasting through literal hell to get netherite just because it’s the “best” material? Don’t do it! Want to build a nice town but maybe you’re worried about your skills? Don’t bother trying to get it perfect on the first run, just start building!

I very much have the the same problem of setting the goal of, and then exclusively focuing on, large projects. Followed by losing intrest, and stopping playing. And then later once I want to play agian, I come up with a new project, start a new world, abandoning the old world because I did not consider there to be enough in the old world to be worth keeping, compared to the "better" option of starting a new world. Though for me ive been playing Factorio rather than Minecraft, but the same observations apply. Some of the most fun ive had is when I let go of doing anything practical, and just explore the ideas of whatever I feel like building. On that note, try adding things like 270 and 360 degree turns (in other words, loop de loops) to your minecart track, they can be used to add variety (and therefore landmarks) to an otherwise direct path. For example, if you have a path that needs a sharp turn down and to the right, check if going to the left can be made to make sense. Or if you need to go down a steep incline or a cliff, do a zig zag or a spiral path down rather than having a momolithic ramp. Also, would it be possible to add alternative sceneic routes to your minecart network? On a seneic route you would have the option to play with whatever systems you can think of, which would then be designed to be ignorable, without being forgotten.

However I always never get to total completion, I for myself developed a lot of bad habits such as the idea of planning to which I would enjoy a lot but this would always land me in a new world with new chunks and resetting my progress, but also other implications like issues relating to time (coming back to a world after like 2 weeks and I forgot my main goal in the world), boredom, or pure laziness after hrs of what felt like work when Minecraft is suppose to be like an escape for me 😂😂

Makes gold powered rails much, much faster than before. A high end version of powered rails. 4. Adds copper powered rails. They're essentially the old powered rails, but much cheaper since they use copper. 5. Adds dispenser and dropper minecarts.

I like some of the talking points you have here about playing the same world for a long time. I have a 4600 ingame day old world that I started around the time the Nether update came out and never saw a reason not to keep a world long term. Back in my xbox 360 days I had a creative world where I transformed a pretty sizeable part of the flat world into a city. In my survial world I've seen basically everything the game has to offer, I have a central town with an unfinished castle that is basically just a sorting sytem for every non-stackable item except custom banners and the rarer mob heads. Other than that, I also have a few farms, but nothing crazy impressive. I'm playing it sometimes with friends and we have around seven places that you could consider bases, and I dug two giant tunnels to two of them for a subway. There also an extensive nether boat-highway network connecting every semi important location. I like the world and I wish to keep it indefinitely. I also said to myself that if newer terrain ever is too far away so that I "need" to create a new world I will just move maybe 20.000 blocks away in some arbitrary direction. This would be a long way from home/spawn but I actually traveled beyond that a few times as the map size is around 16 GB on my SSD. (Even though I found new terrain 1500 blocks from my base) When I go on adventures I also carry a book with me, documenting the location and date of certain events. Like how I finished the digging of a tunnel from location X to location Y. I also regularly leave signs behind with dates and descriptions and when I was really far away, looking for the last pottery sherd I was missing, I thought that I found an entirely new location but it I found that the temple was already plundered of its treasures and a sign saying that I was there 800 in game days ago. Stuff like this makes me really appreciative of what I have.

Great video. I didn't think I'd watch 40 minutes of minecart travel footage, but your style of narration had kept me hooked.

I honestly relate to a lot of the issues you faced, in regards to finishing large projects. Maybe, your insight will help me keep working on large worlds for longer. Regarding the rail system - I really like transportation systems, and honestly wish minecarts were more useful in Minecraft. It's part of the reason why I liked the Create mod so much - its train system feels at home in vanilla worlds, and the abundance of features to make trains useful (everything being block-built, item and fluid transport, rail curves, junctions and signaling, scheduling and automation) is what made me enjoy building transport in Minecraft again.

And on another similar point, I've noticed a lot of people saying they really enjoy the beta version of Minecraft for its simplicity.

"Minecrafty" than they'd like. Whether that's true or not isn't for me to decide, but I think the people who like the early versions have a bit of a point.

Mid dense cities, with streets populated by cozy and idyllic rowhomes are just to perfection. Curious as to what cities come to your mind or you appreciate! I’d encourage you to look at the cities of Frederick MD and Lancaster PA! Truly the hallmark of North American urbanism. I also really liked how you structured the town you made, with a walk path above the market section, then rowhomes on top of the market street!

The split level thing was an idea I had to try and address the main counter-argument to urbanism, being people want yards separated from all the traffic. Maybe this isn't a perfect solution, but I think it'd be great to set up some patio furniture up there, enjoy the movement of the town without being part of it. It'd be cool to see something like that irl, but the closest I've seen was this sort of indoor patio I encountered in a hotel that spanned across several rooms. I thought it was pretty neat, and I think that also served as inspiration for that building.

I use trapped chests for my rail junctions. Just place them directly on top of the rail you want to switch, then all you gotta do is hold down right-click as you approach to open the chest and switch the track. The chest will stay open until you’re out of range, and won’t cause any suffocation damage as you pass through it. It works great, is simple, and self-contained. I think I picked that up from Cubfan a few years ago. I love rail travel. I always have a railroad minecart in my worlds. I played on a friends’ server who had started their world back in alpha, and they had a 5000 square meter railroad that completely encircled their build area. It took about 45 minutes to make the loop, though theirs was elevated so it was a bit safer from mobs. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

This feels like talking to that one person in a long road trip, and you both are taking a break once in a while by stopping at a gas station or a place somewhere

My first unfiltered initial thought was "no way I'm watching this haha". I have almost finished it in one go. It's strangely addictive. You seem like a cool chill guy. And I regret judging too quickly. A very pleasant watch!

Gotta say I was not expecting to hear about Plastic Beach in this video, it's one of my favorite albums, represent brother!

A lot of love and care went into making that album. It shows, and I appreciate it all the more because of it :) That is to say, it's an album worth mentioning.

I really do love the rails in the overworld. Ice tracks in the nether are much faster for getting to places...but they're so bleak and boring. This gives life to your world and gives your a mini world tour everytime you use it

On my last major Minecraft world, I had two major railways that spanned the entire continent. Minecarts are an underrated way to travel, especially for moving animals across long distances. I've been working on another once since June 2023 but this one is significantly longer and I haven't laid tracks yet, just the wood markers. My last major world was created before the Caves and Cliffs part two update when iron was easier to come by and strip mining was the best way to get resources. Also, the new track goes over mountains and I stuck with the straight line design so it's 1k blocks in one direction River and mountain be darned. Once I secure a lot of iron I am going to finish this railway and then finish the small tramway I started in March 2023. After that's done I have another plan to make a railway across the ocean to this other continent which I've settled. I've mapped out the starting area and the ending area which is across the ocean. It's the closest possible point to the other continent. But for now, I just need iron and I love building me some railways. Railways also help with exploration since you could build one in territories you haven't quite mapped out yet.

How fun is that XP It's great to hear what others do in their worlds that they deem to be fun endeavors. It's given me loads of cool ideas :D
