I Started a Hardcore Minecraft World ...without totems

I love how he's fully transparent about using the freecam. A lot of KRplusrs would hide that

Just realized I forgot to beg for likes so...

A tip for hardcore players- I know I may sound strange but I always keep my chestplate on the sixth icon, whenever I have mobs around me, I just right click it and I have my chestplate on and elytra out. This has saved me a couple of times. Also, keep specific slots for everything- like 1st for sword, 2nd for pickaxe, third for axe/shovel, 4th for blocks/scaffoldings/rockets, 5th for bow/trident, 6th I told you, 7th for rockets/or anything else I need when I am building(like shulker boxes), 8th for food and 9th(strangely) water bucket. Whenever I am falling I always know to press 9 or 6(If I have elytra on that hotbar), that can save you. And always have totem in offhand(that's obvious). This actually helps.

I totally assumed the intention here was to rebuild the Geisel Library, it sounds so original the way you're describing it in this video, but it's a fantastic representation of that library!

8:45 i was not expecting to be hearing about math in a hardcore video...

That was a truly enjoyable video. No screaming, no hectic cuts, well narrated and with an impressive build.
Something that I as a person significantly over 18 can enjoy as well, that's quite rare among MC content :D

Casually making hermitcraft level mega base in episode one

28:59 You can't get me with the among us 😂

Thank you everyone for the nice comments and likes. Heres a few things to clear up
1: None of the "commentary" or voice recording was done live. All the gameplay and voiceovers were recorded separately. I'm not a professional actor so it may seem awkward at times. I do this because the fan in my laptop is very loud when running minecraft, as well as my keyboard and mouse.
2: I use a bunch of "vanilla friendly" mods to make the game more fun. I've got them listed with download links on my discord. I don't consider mods cheating but if you do... cool.
3: I mention this later in the video, but yes, the design is based on the Geisel library at UCSD
4: A lot of the special features like free cam, gamma override, and hidden rain are part of a mod called Tweakeroo.
5: I ended the video with my world at 167 days.

blud is playing with 29 % of volume in Hardcore mode 💀

great video, extremely entertaining tbh. I really enjoyed all of the little things that you have to be paying close attention to catch such as the among us in the chest, and the little sentences you had to pause at the correct time for. as well as your jokes that were unpredictable such as when you said it’s time to talk about the sponser of the video, netherite. you deserve more subs

Congrats on 100k!!! I didn't have time to watch this at the time it came out but I'm back and I see you reached 100k. So good job and I can't wait for episode 2.

I don't know what's so special about this build, but to me it feels really unique. I hope you keep this serious going! I wanna see what else you can create =).

Gotta say, this vid has been a real breath of fresh air in the MC-Tube world. Calm, informed, intelligent, and inspired. Just stumbled on this channel, but glad I did. Look forward to seeing your next series, and maybe even some mod-packs, if that is your thing.

Love that you built the Geisel Library!! I built a smaller one about 6 years ago and I dont think I've seen anyone else build it. It looks amazing, great job!!

Im glad I stumbled on this video, You got my sub and likes. Making me excited for your next video on this series, keep grinding.
I dont usually comment much. But I just wanna say your video is amazing. Cant wait for the next one.

Finally someone who plays actual hardcore instead of their infinite totem series.

Geisel library design goes crazy, I had similar inspiration from it but never got to building.(if it’s not what u were going for, look it up almost on point)

29:19 please tell me you took that pigstep disc!
Awesome base, really enjoyed the video. Finally, a hardcore themed video without over the top editing and constant cuts! Well done dude.

i really enjoyed the building process. many youtubers just skip over that so i was happy to see you explain it so thoroughly :>

This series is gonna be great! Can’t wait for next episodes :)

Watching you since a year bruh, I don't think I can watch someone play Minecraft for around 40 minutes, but you.
The build you did was amazing, and the amount of effort you put into your videos is just amazing.

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I got to say I am impressed. Can’t wait for part two. Keep up the good work and thanks for the amazing content.

I liked the video and the base. Im looking forward to the next episode. Btw those small rooms inside the wall, maybe use them as storage or cleaning cuboards. You can also add bookshelf to the build to make it mroe alive and simuler to that library design you wanted.

i really like how the build turned out! to answer your question, maybe you could build little aquariums in the pillars with cracks in the sides filled with glass to be able to see it. can't wait for part 2!!

I like rain off

Great video. Glad I found your channel. And I love the base design. I've always wanted to try more modern architecture, but it is hard for me to break the fantasy medieval habit in my Minecraft worlds

Ultra quality hardcore vid. Best I've seen thus far, technical, interest, gameplay, thinking. On all cylinders thank you for this wonderful creation.

I love the build in the thumbnail, it feels kind of unique and isn't just an unnecessarily gigantic superbase that the other hardcore youtubers have
Not gonna lie I was also thinking about a minecraft series without totems but have no laptop or anything to make the videos possible but at least someone else did
Unique twist, so much better than a generic hardcore series because there's like 182 of those on youtube

Well I randomly found your hardcore video watching another video and I have to say I really enjoyed this video. For anyone wondering if it wasn't mentioned the gisel library is at UCSD (University of California, San Diego) along with a few other really cool architectural uniqueness around the campus if you get to visit. Its funny because the whole time I watched this I was like... huh... thats pretty cool and Im pretty sure I know that building from somewhere. Definitely gained yourself a new subscriber

99.9k subs!! I subbed, hopefully you reach 100k soon! Congrats 🎉🎉🙌

I remember when you used to upload battlefront videos like 6 years ago bro, crazy to see you on my feed again, keep it up brotha

Base idea, include a floating obelisk above the base where you do enchanting, maybe out of obsidian and black concrete to fit with the stone theme. If you do that you could also build mini ones scattered around the place to make it look like some sort of alien ruins. :D
Some other ideas:
- Use the walls as caches where you store stuff in obsidian boxes to keep valuables safe, like vaults.
- To fit with the industrial theme also experiment with crafters, (once the update comes out)
- Maybe also turn the heart on the ground around the beacon into a map which you can refresh after doing your big projects.
- Map art with anti-totem propaganda
- Farm integration in warehouses.
- slime farm in a nuclear facility.
- Roads and vehicles! This would add to the character of the build a lot. (It would also serve as a ground-based connection to all your other builds and look super cool on a map.)
Looking forward to seeing where this series goes!

Wow wow wow, hold on a minute. It said 2023-2023 when the villiger died to the raid. This is outdated as heck

Amazing video. Great building skills. Thoroughly enjoyed!

I can't think of anything specific to put in the empty pillars, but I will say this, try to make it something that will be useful to you or give you a reason to enter into those little spaces.
Or another idea is to make those pillars into something that you enjoy looking at every time you enter your base, like mini biome terrariums.
I think all that matters is that your proud of the creation and it brings you enjoyment at the sight of it.
I hope my thoughts were helpful in some way, and I can't wait to see what you do next.

It'll be refreshing watching an actual Hardcore series again. The world has been full of totem clutchers with a shulker box full of extra lives in their back pocket for too damn long

We’re all still watching it😂

Amazing video !
A couple of suggestions if you dont mind :
1. Try making your video style more unique,with this video youve already become something fresh in the current mc community
You can try changing the subtitles other than the classic ones that we see in popular Minecraft ytbers
2. For the base, you could make it more indsutrial ! For example adding pipes/tubes or other similar looking things inside the base to make it seem simple from the outisde, but complex from the inside
Also, inside the base try adding redstone mechanisms to reveal certain parts of the base by steping on a stone pressure plate, something like we see in movies where the main characters enter a old temple with a valuable prize inside but its booby trapped everywhere
3. To keep the game new and refreshing, how about adding a new challenge every video ? This time it was totems, next time it could be something else like less automatic farms or something like that
Because at this point, you're almost invincible even without a totem
Thats it from me :)
Love the vid, keep making more ! Cant wait to see what you come up with

This was a great video, the consistency was lovely to see too!

the among us at 28:58 LOL

This man deserves 10M Subs

nice video from a new guy was relaxing and very open to what you were doing keep up the good work man
olso love the base

So far ive really enjoyed this. Cant wait for the next! Also the base looks amazing!

Anyone else see the among us character in the chest at the first bastion?

How many people out there just starting hardcore minecraft with 100 days survival with mods.

Best mc video I’ve whatched in a while. Good editing, entertaining video format, and no obnoxiously annoying voice over. Amazing job

That ceiling looked really incredible. Nice lighting and pattern layout.

Can we get a building tutorial 😅

Among us anyone noticed

Building that huge base for your starter it was truly amazing you are awesome hope this hardcore series goes on for a long long time

You can place villagers in those small rooms, so you don't have to go underground, you can just trade in your house! And goodluck for the other video. Cool videos and very unique house i love it! :)

Elmooooooo!!!!

I Havent Subscribe yet but if you tell me your texture pack and send me a link you earned a new sub...

you definitely do feel the spirit of the mining game! love the massive shape of this thing.

reminds me of the world map video, well put together man, late to the party but you did a good job

I really loved your video, thank you for this great work! 👍

No joke you are the most talented and unique builder ive seen in minecraft

Amazing progress for a 41mins video. I would love to hear if you make a series on this hardcore world

Bro did so much work that is worth 10 episodes but he did it in one vid,this channel gotta blow up

I love this video because it’s so simplistic and not crazy hectic, and you didn’t beat the game within 5 minutes. Sure I don’t like that the new strategy for minecraft hardcore involves getting full diamond armor and tools on day 10, however I still real enjoyed this video! Keep it up! Also, I personally don’t like the rain but that’s just me.

My god that base design looks amazing. This has to be my new favorite series on MCYT

absolutely in love with this base build. it's just so cool

I think that this has potential to be really great, if you make more vids and a whole 50 episode series making farms and decorate them as well as base expansions to add more detail and such, you can basically have everything you need to make a great series.

damn bro, you know something what i don't 😂
nice video man

So simple and accepting to mods which a lot of youtubers would hide. Also i'd use stairs intead of bubble coloums would look better but your choice.::D

I believe you're creating a new genre centered around constructing hostile or brutalist architecture in Minecraft. I like your minimalist approach, primarily using just three materials, where most players tend to use like a million different items.

I’m out of words, I don’t even know how to compliment ur masterpiece, loved every bit of it.

I know your gonna make it big just keep posting and I really like your content ❤

This is quite literally the coolest hardcore base I’ve seen someone build. It’s impressive but not gaudy with a rlly cool aesthetic

Good editing! The algorithm has chosen you

Came for Geisel Library, stayed for awesome editing and content. Great video!

I love this video, perfect way to get me to want to go back and work on my own hardcore world! I was just wondering, do you have a list of the mods you have been using??? I really liked the controls you have and want to do something similar. Thanks!!! (subbed and liked btw)

wow! just wow. this video and this WHOLE channel is amazing!
leaving this here so i remember it.

You put so much time and effort into just one video. I really respect your efforts and your transparency. You have earned a sub. Keep it up! I look forward to seeing more from you.

To your information, the Netherite Smithing Template thingy can only be found in the Treasure Bastion in the bottom chest where the gold blocks are
The first Bastion you went to was a Housing Bastion (There a 4 different Bastions)

omfg thank you so much, this video is so caaaalm and down to earth

I love how your voice isn’t loud and obnoxious like many KRplusrs, thank you.

Awesome video. I haven't watched a Let's Play in a while. This was a great journey.

Gonna be completely honest I thought I was watching Sandiction for a moment. However that's definitely a good thing. Great stuff man

Big fan of UCSDs library i see
This recreation came out great!

Imma be honest this is the best hardcore video i've seen in a while. You my friend deserve a sub.

My guy is not ashamed and I love it. Also he has a very calming voice ngl

Yea Now That's The Content I Would Love To See!

Base idea: if you wanna fill in all of the empty space in your base. Try finding a way to shrink all your farms so they all fit in it, that will help in filling in the place. For the pillars with nothing in it, use it as chest spots. Maybe finally make a nether portal somewhere where you'll access it instantly. One more thing! make a torture device for the Vexes and the Phantoms since they're the most annoying mobs.

really appreciate the crediting of farms ;)

The video editing alone got you a sub. Entertaining.

Your build gave me Star Wars death star vibes. Loved it!

Your base looks like the fortress from Inception! And also the library at my university. Super cool, I think the red glass looks awesome!
edit: I should have watched to the end first before commenting lol, thank you for mentioning the library's name!

underrated youtuber. get this guy to 1 mil!

The thing that you made such a beautyful base, at Start is insane, Keep up the work 😁🔥

9:51 NICE PYTHAGOREN theorm huh. MATHS nub. First time on you channel, you seem great, I think. Imma sub

First time seeing this guy ever and the first 12 seconds got me intrigued that editing was good

I feel like with the pillars were you said you added grey glass too if you hollowed them out and added a light sauce block's/item's they would make a cool glowing pillar. that would look sick!

litematica for me is simply put as : work smarter not harder
i design the builds in creative which is the hard part
then i have to collect every item from the schematic in survival ( the material list makes it a quality of life feature )
then i can just pickblock and place by layers while making the whole process easier
and it's smarter because it turns builds (imo) in something of like a task where you know what you need to do , you just need to do it and once you finished you're feel very satisfied and it's rewarding where if you do builds without litematica it can be a chore sometimes and you create chest monsters so much when you're not building with litematica , something i noticed too! with litematica you just gather what you need and have shulker boxes on the build site and that's it , then easy clean up so every time i see a youtuber or a minecraft builder being kinda insecure about using litematica i just say : don't stress about it you're working smarter not harder!
great video as always

This is so much better then I thought I am new to this channel

i think it will be the best hardocore series )

I know you probably won’t see this comment but I have a really good idea for your base. You should totally add black concrete as an outline. Just so it doesn’t look so bland and maybe make it look a bit cartoony ❤

Actually an honest hardcore yt

Best 41 and sm minutes of my life I love watching someone get op fast and then do cool stuff it's so satisfying
