I tried Hardcore for the first time today and died a silly death early game. This video is inspiring me to keep pushing forth though, and maybe we both will be good enough at the game. Good luck on the series!

[@XayXayYT]

Ay, all the best my dude

[@duckified.]

i just beat a hardcore world for the first time (as far as i can remember) today. my advice: take everything VERY slowly. don't go rushing into any huge dark caves or nether fortresses. prioritize survivability over utility. use villagers to work your way up to full protection 4 diamond armor and feather falling. it shouldn't be hard, it just might take a while depending on how you get emeralds. if you get trades like efficiency 5 or unbreaking 3, i would skip those. the important enchantments are the ones that give you the edge in life or death situations. if you happen to fall into lava in the nether, do the trick where you exit and reload the world every 3 seconds for invincibility frames. don't try to swim up though, just use the i-frames to sink to the floor and place a door where you're standing to make an air pocket. then, dig down and find a way out the lava.

[@bpnik]

I really enjoyed watching this, especially the editing syncing game audio to music. I also think that I originally subscribed in part due to your personality and humour, and thats shown really well in this video too. I cant wait to see what happens next :) (BTW you can find fortresses using the pie chart to show spawners within your render distance, and then changing your render distance and crossing chunk borders to find the direction its in. Its a trick known as pie ray and its sometimes used in speedrunning to find the fortress)

i love the little touch of editing the clips so that the sound effects lined up with the music in the video

[@XayXayYT]

Those took a while but it was worth it

[@takiallahjamai]

this is the most interesting hardcore series ive seen so far, someone that actually fears early game and understands slowly, not just speedrunning the game in just 10 mc days, great channel and hopefully you grow soon also the moment you used wood in the iron farm i knew it

[@duckified.]

it took me over 80 ingame days just to gain the confidence to even go to the end in my current world. i even had full protection 4 diamond armor loooong before that, but i was still so nervous of losing another world to something stupid like fall damage or dragon's breath

[@SSuser-go7jm]

Honestly the first thing I do is just build a Raid farm. Free diamond gear, food, totems, enchantments and xp. Then I can just go into the nether, beat the game, get netherite, build a wither farm and be unkillable.

[@berandomisme]

The only good thing about copper is that on a multiplayer server you can sell it for decent money to get better stuff.

[@panpiper]

Not once in over a decade of Minecraft have I ever 'ground' for sticks and such to trade with villagers. I will have full diamond gear within a few hours of starting a new world, and at that point will be setting up an enchanting workshop to get the first set of enchantments on it without recourse to villagers. In fact in most of my playthroughs the 'only' trades I make with villagers (usually just one villager) are for mending, using emeralds I have collected through mining and the like. I also very rarely die. Most of my playthroughs, I never die, because I play carefully, I don't take risks. That said there IS grinding involved, but that is shaft mining for resources, and I can easily control the danger when shaft mining. I don't risk caving until I have enchanted diamond gear. I don't build any 'farms' except for an XP farm, and that is usually after the first enchantments on diamond.

[@walteruber994]

The key to a long-term world is patience. After the initial basics, pick projects for the sake of doing them well, not fast. It's not a race, it's a hobby! I'm enjoying this content and hope to follow along as long as it continues! GG!

[@vsequity]

I love how your videos are so entertaining. None of your videos are boring.

[@znakepoison]

Hey xay a tip, if you press spacebar while trading with villagers you can trade really quick

[@XayXayYT]

Noted!

[@DatFrogGuy]

I absolutely love your idea of your own quests on aspects of the game. I recon im gonna try the same myself. I wish you luck on your world👍

[@HelloIAmAnExist]

9:24 you can practice pie-ray (speedrun strat to use the pie chart at the bottom of the f3 screen to locate the spawner from fortresses)

[@XayXayYT]

yeah... I was hoping it didn't have to go down to that pie chart lol

[@HelloIAmAnExist]

@@XayXayYT I think it looks more intimidating than it is. It basically works like this: 1. You gradually increase the render distance until a spawner shows up 2. You lower it by 1 so you don't see it anymore 3. You go 1 chunk in each direction until it shows up 4. You continue to go in that direction until you find it I'm by no means an expert on the subject but I do watch a lot of speedruns so this should be semi accurate

[@XayXayYT]

@@HelloIAmAnExist I'm well aware, but I was hoping there was something in vanilla, like in the games that gives a hint, rather than down to the code, at least that's how I hoped to see it

[@commandermaze6334]

Recently started playing hardcore and am on my 6th iteration, my second and current play through have been my most successful. One tip I have is that I’ve found the cartographer’s glass pane trade to be way less grindy than the fletcher since you can automate smelting with furnaces which also lets you upscale really fast.

[@XayXayYT]

I guess I've always just felt that I needed glass and sand wasn't as renewable so I never really thought of that, I could give it a try

[@just_is]

A new hardcore series I can watch :D

[@Juschlan]

Amazing save at 9:45, right out of a fairy tale! With Dia armor, you were never really in danger. 2 hearts dmg from fall damaged and MAYBE 1/2 heart from the lava before the Gapple triggered. Just building up would've done the job. Alternatively, first building up and then pressing the "oh-shit!"-button would've given the Gapple more HP to regen. Either way, the way you did it was still a very good reaction. Better safe than sorry. 8/10

[@Juschlan]

BTW, in single player you can pause at any time, allowing you time to think even in such situations, but let's be honest, that's just embarassing.

[@XayXayYT]

8/10 is better than I would've expected, since I was actually hard panicking in that moment lmao

[@Tugs_26]

Hi xay, your editing is top notch! I absolutely adore and love your videos! Btw I've never beat minecraft on my own without cheats. I am an expert till I get full stone stools and enough food. I die in caves. Don't wanna strip mine cuz boring. Even though I succeeded in making a nether portal without caving in one of my worlds, I died in the nether. After that I had lost so much I never played minecraft again. Any tips? Also Even if I don't play minecraft I still love watching mc videos and something I really wish people would do would be stop copying others! I love your channel because your form of Content because you're original, unique and entertaining! Keep it up! -your biggest fan!

[@XayXayYT]

I'd say take your time, a lot of my deaths centre around being not skilled enough to survive the nether but running head first in with iron armor, in hardcore I took the time to get protection armor because it takes my carelessness into account. As long as you're having fun, that's the important part

[@devisals]

I have never beaten the game nor have I played hardcore (been playing since Minecraft 1.0, but just pvp game modes). Now after watching this, I have to try beating the game in hardcore. The only Survival mode experience I have is from UHCs I played

[@dabaumpl9839]

Mate that mining montage is actually pure gold! Mad respect for that

[@EggyTheEggMan]

When I stared only playing hardcore I just kept going and died a lot now like 3 successive hardcore worlds later and 1 main successful one my advice is just now matter how many deaths keep going u will one day survive

[@zestos6018]

2:13 this part is sick, very well done

[@cyberguy2702]

Ok i’ve made my decision, you have my sub

[@HumanoidDerpling]

Tbh I think playing the way those youtubers do, exploiting villagers for max gear and building raid farms that give you infinite totems, really destroys what hardcore is meant to be. Every danger sequence is supposed to have a chance of ending your run, but that feeling of danger isn't there when you have 10 totems on you and 10 thousand back at home. The only reason Phil lost his world was that it happened before 1.14. The feeling of risk isn't just shattered for the player, but also for the viewers. I'd love to see this playthrough be with your usual level of preparation. I'll watch regardless, of course, but it won't be for the reason I'd watch Hardcore. I also think those things will go against the idea of this playthrough being you getting better at the game, since once you get totems you no longer need skill.

[@XayXayYT]

I definitely don't plan to make a raid farm, don't worry. If I ever get totems they would be directly from raids. I also think that they make death too unlikely and takes out most of the risk if they're too easy to get.

[@luggi_with_a_hoodie]

That shield named condom is actually genius, it prevents something non-exsiting from dying

Yo, what a nice video! Also, are you planning to continue the "Most controversials" series?

[@XayXayYT]

For now I'm not planning to continue it since there's not much controversial stuff to talk about, although I will see how armor trims (and the netherite template) are doing, so maybe that's a potential future video

[@Skivv5]

My ide is that you should make a ton of episodes like this and make multiple per world. And once you beat the game or die in a world, you go to a new cycle and make another world. Also, some later cycles might have twists like more players, mods, or restrictions. I would EAT UP this content, and I think many others would enjoy it as well! I loved this video, and if my suggestion gets taken, I will personally see to it that EVERY SINGLE LIVING BEING I KNOW will watch EVERY SINGLE VIDEO YOU MAKE. I would love this so much if it gets made! Have a great life! Note: I LOVE the comedy in this video! Keep it up! 👍

[@XayXayYT]

I do like this suggestion, although I am a little confused by what you mean with "make multiple per world" though, could you clarify on that?

[@Skivv5]

@@XayXayYT multiple episodes per world, i was thinking you could make multiple per world/cycle you go through. i think making multiple episodes would be nice, although the other ideas i had are more important, and i just thought making more videos like that would benefit watch time. also, tysm for responding :)

[@joelpetersmedia]

Nice job with the video! I'm looking forwards to future episodes. Also, was curious what your thoughts with the new villager rebalances in the latest snapshot was, and especially the new diamond spawn rate changes. Seems like pretty revolutionary stuff to the game.

[@XayXayYT]

I'd say it doesn't affect me as much, since I usually trade without the discount most of the times anyways, and even then it's a somewhat deserved nerf imo. The diamond spawn rate changes looks to be neat so I'm looking forward to how they go

[@joelpetersmedia]

@@XayXayYT Yeah I never used the discount either, though the trades being locked to different biomes and not giving the max level of the enchant will affect the progression of the game quite significantly, especially with the current state of anvils.
