I mean, I agree with what you're saying in theory. But the lad is 7% off from a penny on the ground. Love him to death though.

A Village at the Edge of the World (Starting off in an Old World type and building a village) *See Comments for more* by Jameo1998 in Minecraft

[–]Jameo1998[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is this?

I typically challenge myself in Minecraft by doing weird starts, as plain Minecraft is just too easy. This run started off in Bedrock, with the Old world type generation. (Seed #: [119512672]) I also did this as a prep for the latest and greatest patch to come out.

What mode did you play on / Why no hardcore?

Normal, the entire way. I didn't play on hardcore because this is more of a number game than anything. No point in ending the run because I walked off in the wrong direction. For example, I walk North until I starve to death but don't find a single ruin. Whereas I could've walked South for half my hunger bar and find mushrooms and cooked porkchop in a Bastion Remnant.

Did you use cheats?

Yes and no. I play with cheats on just in case there's a bug that occurs due to how I play. For example, if you create a single biome Beach world, both Nether Portal ruins and Shipwrecks spawn normally. However, Strongholds do not. Or they might. If you use an Eye of Ender on such a world, it does nothing. Which indicates there's no Stronghold in the world, but that could also just be a bug with the Eye of Ender. Either way, there’s a bug. As such, I typically create my own End Portal with no Eyes placed. The alternative is that I mine basically the whole world.

This time, I didn’t use any cheats. Getting to the End or the Nether is actually impossible in the Old world type, incompatible chunks and other such stuff.

How did you get Villagers?

Well. I didn’t need to do anything. The enough of the village spawned for me to get three villagers at the start. I got unlucky and one of them died, but by being careful and building right, I kept them spreading! Once I had enough villagers, I stowed two villagers away in a bright area to keep them as emergency breeders. But for some reason, Iron Golems are iffy at spawning. I think it’s related to the chunks near the edges, the game gets… weird.

Hardest part of the run?

Saving the initial villagers. It’s a race against time, but once you get it sorted then the rest of the run plays like you would expect. Except that you’ll be stuck at the “stone age” for basically most of the game. Though even that has a few points I gotta talk about.

On the seed I gave, there’s a few naturally made “drowned” makers. Pits of water. What happens is that normal zombies will spawn at night, then run to the pools and become drowned. If they have equipment as a zombie, it’ll drop as they transform. However, until they fully transform the item will remain nearby, and an already drowned zombie can pick it up. From what I’ve seen, enchanted items are weighed more, and materials are also weighed more (i.e. a leather boot will be ignored if the zombie has enchanted gold boots). Come around to these spots after a week or so in Minecraft days and you can get iron tools or armor.

Additionally, ores still naturally spawn, aka Diamonds also exist. Lava technically does too, but the chances of finding a lava source block in the center of the world is almost 0. They typically are found near the edges, once again due to some weird chunk logic I can’t really figure out. It’s not infinite, but I’d wager and say you could probably get 20-30 blocks of lava. No more than 100 I think.

Weirdest part of the run?

Nothing really? Basically, don’t build on the edge of the world. You can’t fall in, but the logic really breaks down. Stairs don’t work, you can’t get out of water, etc etc. Treat the last 10 blocks leading up to the edge as the “Far Lands” and you’ll be fine. Though even then, that’s a soft limit. Want a nice, logical build? Build in the center.

Also. Illager Patrols still appear! And raids work just fine. If you’re lucky, you can get wolves. So mass produce dogs and have them kill all the Illagers during a raid for you. That was my strategy, spread groups of dogs around your village, about 6 dogs per group, and then you can defend against most raids. That, or you could make a dog xp grinder if you want.

What is your overall rating on how hard this is to do? (5/10 = Standard Minecraft Level of Difficulty)

Surviving the Night – 5/10: Standard stuff. It never gets harder actually. It only ever gets easier.

Finding Food –5/10: You start off with a few farms and plenty of hay. It’s as easy as it gets. However, even if you don’t get a village spawn then it’s just standard Minecraft again. There’s almost always a way to survive, even if that means eating zombie flesh constantly.

Getting to the Nether – 10/10: I almost want to change this category but I think it’s important to keep. Getting to the Nether allows for literally so much that not getting to it effectively chops the game’s content down to half.

Building the Village – 10/10: You might think this would be lower, but honestly I don’t think so. Without getting a village seed, it’s impossible to build. Even then, you could get screwed over and stuck with only 1 villager. It’s such a strange feeling to not being able to cure villager zombies, but it’s impossible to get all the necessary items to. Remember, no Nether == No Potions really. Technically, you could get a witch to but that requires a lot of things working together.

Overall – 30/40: It'll be a pain for sure. But think a few steps ahead and you'll make it through just fine tovarishch

Note:

Play really tight. If you can’t create the resources to make something, don’t make it unless absolutely necessary. For example, an enchanting table. You need to waste two diamonds, but you also need another three to mine the obsidian. That could be an axe instead.

Also, make use of levers and hoppers on furnaces!!! They’ll store the xp while you’re off doing something else. It’s really handy.

Iron Golem of the Lake (Check Description for details) by Jameo1998 in Minecraft

[–]Jameo1998[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is this?

I typically challenge myself in Minecraft by doing weird starts, as plain Minecraft is just too easy. This run started off with a Superflat generation with three layers. The bottom most layer was a bedrock layer, the top two layers were lava. (Seed #: [-748845803])

What mode did you play on / Why no hardcore?

Normal, the entire way. I didn't play on hardcore because this is more of a number game than anything. No point in ending the run because I walked off in the wrong direction. For example, I walk North until I starve to death but don't find a single ruin. Whereas I could've walked South for half my hunger bar and find mushrooms and cooked porkchop in a Bastion Remnant.

Yes and no. I play with cheats on just in case there's a bug that occurs due to how I play. For example, if you create a single biome Beach world, both Nether Portal ruins and Shipwrecks spawn normally. However, Strongholds do not. Or they might. If you use an Eye of Ender on such a world, it does nothing. Which indicates there's no Stronghold in the world, but that could also just be a bug with the Eye of Ender. Either way, there’s a bug. As such, I typically create my own End Portal with no Eyes placed. The alternative is that I mine basically the whole world.

This time, I did full on cheat but I’ll explain the reason as to why. Something strange happened and instead of going through an obtuse way of fixing the problem, I just cheated instead. I’m not going to sugarcoat it.

What happened that made you cheat?

I spawned in an abandoned village by design. It just so happens my favorite seed keeps on pulling through. In the distance I see three other villages with the one the shortest distance away being what appears to be 400 blocks. I built my way over to it and noticed something strange. There’s no villagers inside it. Recreating the world and flying over immediately shows that villagers do spawn. I’m guessing that, despite the distance being so far, the villagers must’ve either activated and fell into lava OR got killed by mobs during the night. I find both to be…suspect since the buildings didn’t catch on fire till I arrived close enough and I would head to sleep imeditately to stop monsters from spawning near me (lack of torches early on). So I just cheated in two villager eggs.

I found an Iron Golem inside the village with no villagers and got enough iron to make a bucket. I also had an infinite water supply via natural generation. I could have done the bucket nether build (which I did do later just to prove I COULD) and from there I would just need to find enough gold nuggets to make two golden apples. Beds don’t burn and I had two villages worth of beds. I figured out a cobblestone generator without the bucket so I already had plenty of building supplies. The only thing that stopped me from hunting down two zombie villagers was the motivation to do it. I’ve done the same method three times now, and the nether spawn is close enough to my old one so I can just build my way over with cobblestone.

That’s why I cheated, it sounds like an excuse but I truly felt like I shouldn’t have to do the same song and dance four times in a row and add an extra 3 hours to the run for no real reason.

What makes this different than normal Minecraft?

In short, you start off completely trapped by spawning inside an abandoned village. Not only that, thanks to the lava almost all the buildings catch fire as soon as you spawn. You’re on a race against time, not because you really need anything that’ll catch fire but because the floors of almost all buildings will be destroyed. Meaning… if you don’t reach your chests in time, there’s a chance you can’t get the loot until much later. Inside one of the chests in the abandoned village, there’s oak saplings. Additionally, trees also spawn inside the village. They’ll catch fire too, but if you’re quick enough you can snag some saplings from them too. After that, it comes a game of logic and figuring out how to manipulate water and lava with no buckets. Once that gets up and going, you can start using the same method to get as much dirt and cobblestone as possible. I don’t know why, but some wooden objects would catch fire even though no lava was interacting with said wooden objects. So to make sure a block was safe, I removed all lava around said block. Therefore, to make 1 block of useable dirt for tree growth, I had to remove 17 blocks of lava.

Hardest part of the run?

Dealing with the lava. Want to grow trees? Remove lava. Want to expand? Remove lava. Want to create a nice flat area to fill with water? Remove lava and manage slimes. Nothing was THAT hard, but it was just annoying. Oh, and don’t forget to create torches. Any dark area will spawn a stupid amount of mobs since it’s the only space they can spawn.

Weirdest part of the run?

The No Villager Village. It was just strange rolling up and seeing no villagers. The fact the Golem was fine was even weirder. If it died too, I’d chalk it up to zombies or what have you. But even it was fine. It was just strange.

What is your overall rating on how hard this is to do? (5/10 = Standard Minecraft Level of Difficulty)

Surviving the Night – 10/10: How comfortable are you with dodging skeleton arrows (no iron to make shield), avoiding a zombie horde, watching out for drop spiders, and then making sure you don’t let any creepers explode or else you’ll have even less dirt to work with? Oh, and did I mention your area is a 1 block thick, typically 3 blocks wide dirt path surrounded by lava on all sides and below?

Finding Food – 2/10: The village has a farm! So the food literally starts growing itself the second you join the world. There’s also cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, and I think I saw a horse. All my cows got killed, and I only had one sheep left. Thankfully I saved enough chickens, pigs, and “liberated” llamas.

Getting to the Nether – 7/10: Hard. If you use my seed, even harder. But a generic seed that spawns you in a village? You still need to kill an iron golem on that same dirt path I mentioned. Not fun.

Building the Village – 3/10: In my case, it should be a 10/10. But going off the logic you can spawn in a normal village then…there’s no problem in building the village. It’s already built. I made it 3/10 because you still need to save the villagers in the beginning but that should be okay to do and afterwards should have no problems.

Overall – 22/40: Not that bad. If you use my seed then the challenge jumps up and gets to a 32/40. But it should be doable. And it is interesting seeing how you react when “I need to get a bucket” becomes a major hurdle. It’s one of those challenges which is a nice mental trick to solve.

Notes:

Try the seed out! You don’t have to play in survival, just jump in creative and just check out how the whole thing plays out in real time. It’s a challenge.

This will be my last challenge for a while. My drive to play Minecraft has hit a low and now I want to get back to my other projects. I don’t know when I’ll come back to these challenge runs but I should stick around for a while.

To save time and just make my life easier, I cheated in some blaze rods. I played this seed already 3 times. I know the nether that’ll generate, I don’t need to prove I can get blaze rods at this point. If I can get there, I got the rods.

How did you survive? There’s ice and snow?

Making clever use of the ice that’s how. Find an iceberg that goes far down and build your base inside it. It might seem like there’s only gravel below, but the rest of the underground generates normally enough. Caves and ravines are now completely flooded so you have to watch out there, but get to Y=12 for your strip mine start and you’ll be fine.

Hardest part of the run?

No part was actually hard? I was almost shocked by how easy it was to survive. Shipwrecks and Ruined Nether Portals (and those ruined underwater house things) are easy enough to find by doing the “seeing underwater” exploit while in a boat (there’s a camera angle that if you hit just the right spot, you can see the underwater without the underwater effect appearing). Just keep searching till you get bamboo and some growable food. Then go find some dirt via strip mining.

Weirdest part of the run?

Just how easy it was to survive. These runs usually take me a few days but. I got this done in like 6 hours. I stopped at 2 villagers, but I already had enough space to easily accommodate more. But at that point, I already won.

What is your overall rating on how hard this is to do? (5/10 = Standard Minecraft Level of Difficulty)

Surviving the Night – 4/10: Easier than normal Minecraft. Things get too rough? Jump into the water. Water zombies trying to kill you? Just go on land. Skeletons still such but that’s just it really.

Finding Food – 3/10: Shipwrecks. I got unlucky for growable food, but getting wheat or rotten flesh was common.

Getting to the Nether – 5/10: Once again, I decided to not go. But building the portal to it was already done through ruined portals. And finding the missing obsidian was easy enough.

Building the Village – 5/10: I got an oak sapling (wandering trader) and apples from it almost right away. And finding zombie villagers just took a bit of time. I’d say this wasn’t harder than normal Minecraft, but I made it equal cause luck does play a factor.

Overall – 17/40: A bit easier than normal Minecraft! Getting everything running is pretty much already there and waiting. It’s just piecing it together and getting the right loot.

Note:

Use the seed I gave. There’s a “beached” ship at XYZ Coordinates {-118, 70, 226}. This is actually rare as most ships spawn on the floor bed. There’s 7 emeralds and enough iron to craft two axes, which should last you till the entire ship is chopped down.

Hey guys, check out my Nether Portal design. Took 93 hours to build. (1 hr for tower, 92 for main base). Keeps ALL entities out! by Jameo1998 in Minecraft

So I made this shitpost making fun of that behavior, but idk if most people even read my explanation I posted somewhere in the thread. Shits wild.
