Starting My Forever World in Minecraft Survival

[@balladmc]

I am so sorry if I am not able to reply to comments for a little bit, I’m about to play in the championship for my soccer team! Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback on the video

@@balladmc I couldn't agree more

[@TimTam3535]

For me this is a breath of fresh air. If you see multiple “the spot”s for a base, don’t be afraid to branch out and make multiple bases

[@balladmc]

@@TimTam3535 Thank you! I think this is my sign because there’s a few other spots in this world that I kinda want to move to. That’s the beauty of a forever world though, I can always move back!

[@GarouLady]

I always loved the idea of being nomadic, moving around from base to base, cache to cache. Having a main base is one thing but it basically sticks you in one spot totally.

[@balladmc]

@ I agree! I’m planning on moving around many times throughout this series :)

[@Banjo_in_the_vent]

Honestly the less edits the better, watching this is so refreshing. I can’t stand the overedited loud chaotic minecraft videos these days. I just started my forever world today, watching your video makes me feel motivated to start!!

@Retro-Vibe-O Thank you!!

[@XAVIER_NEWHOUSE]

15:30 I luv the rain too, it's raining rn actually. The rain is low-key peaceful and such a vibe, I once got caught in it with a friend and he slipped nd fell halfway to his place, on a different day we played a mix of catch, basketball and soccer , the rain and me got so many memories I wanna skate in some light rain in the future too.

[@balladmc]

Glad I’m not alone. The rain is awesome

[@absotivelypawsilutely]

I started a forever world a couple of months ago. It's the longest I've played in a world since I started playing, which was fairly early in the java edition beta (I got it for such a good price XD). It really is worthwhile to have a forever world, especially since it encourages playing at a more relaxed pace and finding the playstyle that suits you best. I had a proper go at playing on normal when I started because I always played on peaceful, I ended up turning it back down and adding some survival type mods because I found that the hostile mobs just felt like they got in the way of exploring. It was good to actually test that out though, and I think it gave me extra info so I could add more things I do like (such as keeping in-game written adventure logs and doing stuff kind of "in character" or in ways that make sense to me in universe). I'm so happy to see other people starting/playing in forever worlds, especially since they seem to be more chill videos where people speak more candidly. Hope your championship went/goes well!

[@balladmc]

That sounds so fun!! Yeah forever worlds are the best. Thank you for the kind words, we won our championship!

[@CompulsiveSimPilot]

I like this. Ngl, didnt watch it, just had it on in the back ground while i played minecraft, but thats what i like. Im happy to listen to your Yap sessions, nice to have a voice in the background, its easier than talking to other humans lmao. Ill sub, looking forward to the journey.

I started a single biome world, warm ocean and it's challenging and at least you have villages and mobs. that's the only thing I miss, but as for me too, I prefer raw footage, not overly glammed up productions.

[@balladmc]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

@ ty for responding

[@BattleshipOrion]

Seeing these forever worlds is amazing. No "I spend 100 days in xyz', no BS. I was thinking of starting one myself. With Terraliff, Tectonic, and a "pew-pew" mod. Starting off as a lone wolf in the wild and building up to some true industry YEARS down the line with trains & everything(my current PC cant handle Create at this time). Definitely brings back memories of when I'd come back from school and Stampylongnose worked on another activity or ride for his amusement park, and when other KZbinrs' just had general survival worlds...oh those were the days.

[@balladmc]

@@BattleshipOrion I felt the exact same way starting mine (almost used the same mod combination you mentioned). Definitely tired of the hardcore 100 days stuff lol

[@R5cents]

I can't wait to watch episode 2! You're gonna be so stoked about how the first video did on yt hahaha. Lovely gameplay

[@R5cents]

Also the song in the time-lapse 46:15, dope track. It sound like pigstep. Is it a remix?

[@balladmc]

@@R5cents I am absolutely stoked about how this video is doing haha trust me. And yes I believe it’s a pig step remix from the Minecraft Creator Safe playlist on Spotify

[@pl-AEtheRR]

Hi, Ballad! I have been looking for a chill and authentic Minecraft series just like this for a while now. So this is perfect! We' will watch your career with great interest! :D You have the most calming voice to listen to. I wanted to start recording a forever world series of my own, gosh, a year ago now, when I was still starting uni and had relatively plenty free time. Something inside just wouldn't let me publish my videos, though. There were far too many little hiccups and stumbles in the way I narrated etc., and I really suck at the game. So let me tell you, just potting this out there is already fantastic. It definitely helps that your video is far more watchable than anything I made, lol. I thought you must be a 10k+ channel. In any case, I'll catch up with your latest video after I'm done with this one, I've barely watched the initial 12 minutes as of writing xD I wish you a great time here on KZbin! I'm subbing for sure.

[@balladmc]

@pl-AEtheRR Wow, thank you for the kind comment! I appreciate your support and compliments. Regarding you recording your own Minecraft content, I would say (even though it’s cliche) to just go for it and be yourself. You never know until you try. As I said in the video, sometimes just doing SOMETHING will be a key to success. Best of luck and thanks again!
