Hey everyone, welcome to weathering effect episode 60.
Today's date is August 30th 2020 and I am does or does versus
known risks the interwebs and I'm Jimbo you may know me as
Jimbo sliced 23. So what have you been up to this
week Duds? Well, other than the The what
Jimbo say constantly happening right now?
For those who missed the pre-show, we weren't in there.
For some reason, it's either Jimbo's internet or my internet
is cutting him out. Could be mine.
Yeah, I don't know. I keep leaning towards mine, the
internet for my house has been really wacky lately and the more
and more. I heared, I'm thinking it might
just be mine cutting you out. Yeah.
So there might be one or two cuts of me going and would you
say, yeah, that's the case. Hope Carl and tell him, hey, Why
is that? I think it's happened on my end
before maybe. But yeah, this week was all
building storage room, the entire week.
I was inside the mountain, putting the storage room.
So I finally decided on the design for the multi item,
sorter, I want with the one I had built last season.
I'm not sure if I talked about this last episode.
When we recorded last episode, I had just started building it or
just finished building it. It's very weird because so, my
episode goes Or came out probably Monday when you guys
hear this and the first five minutes of that show or that
episode was four days worth of work.
Hmm. Between Gathering materials
planning it out doing some measurements, making sure it'll
fit and design work this 4 episodes and then I'm recording
this going through all this work and I go to edit the clip.
So I'm like, this is not even a third of the episode.
So, Yeah, I had that going on. I've got these storage area
done, I've got the bulk storage done and they're nice and pretty
and decorated and I so happy with how it came out and I'll
probably be talking about that more.
Our main topic is our main topic this week, is kind of like a
step-by-step process of how we design something.
Yep. So you get more into that there.
Other than that, my life has been dominated by Minecraft and
hockey and that's just kind of it right now.
What about You Jimbo what you been up to this week?
Well, besides getting the kids ready for school.
Hmm. They start tomorrow.
Thank goodness. You know, it should be relieved
and have a little bit more time to work on my episodes lately.
I've been doing episodes within a few days two or three days.
The editing takes a little longer, but, mmm, recording.
My episodes would only take a day or two?
Yeah. After one session, I'll put the
pieces together, you know, go back in play.
Little more do what I have to do and usually have an episode and
it's working out really good for me.
Especially it's given me a little bit more break time.
Hmm. Usually my episode come out on
Saturday and then I'll start that weekend on the next
episode. And if I finish on Monday or
Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll take a few days off from Minecraft.
Just to get back into it on the weekend again.
Get back going. A full head of steam.
I don't want a conflict with any burn out this year.
Yeah, the problem is, I'm going big.
So this week, I started shaping my perimeter, you'll see it on
my latest episode, I'm trying to make a dome type of shape.
And this, the dome is gigantic. The big circle is 301, block
diameter and the Smallest is 205 so it'll you know like I said do
Min or yeah kind of like a bowl type of deal and I have to kind
of shape that that's kind of what I'm doing.
I I need to get my flying machines going again because
that time lapse edited in my latest episode took forever took
way too long. It took like two three days to
be honest and yeah I don't want to burn.
Myself out just on that. It'd be nice if I was streaming
possibly can now that, you know, school starting up again, then
again, you know anyone that's in school, won't be able to see the
stream. So I'm still on the fence of
when the stream that does give me a little more time, though.
So I could do some of that then, but I still to avoid the
burnout. I might just spilled the flying
machines. Take out as much ground as I
can, that way just to avoid those.
Long. Three days of you saw that
little piece. I got done that.
That's not much. Yeah, and it took that long so
definitely to avoid burnout. I got to run these flying
machines. Yeah, I sat there and I was
watching that time lapse and I was waiting for you to basically
finish and I'm like, wait, he's still going wait, he's still
going. Yeah, why is he still digging
this by hand? Oh, man, I felt so bad for you
at that point yet, but the shape of your bowl.
All has given me a really cool idea for a futuristic base.
That might be stuck in the back of my head for next season.
Nice, the shape I did the curve, that's kind of what I want to
go, but it's going to it's going to be shaped a little different
because it is a bowl. So the inner circle is going to
be a little smaller than the Outer Circle.
So I don't know. You have to see how that comes
about it. If you ever made a circle in
Minecraft, you understand a lot of math.
But what the shape I have in my mind, is it Circle.
It's more of a rounded box but the slope and angle you did of
your bowl. Curve, just it stuck in my head.
I go. Oh, this could be a really cool
structure. Yeah, I haven't seen anything
like that. Kinked Ron mixed in with that
shape. And that's what I'm kind of like
having my head right now. Okay.
Yeah I wasn't going for a try and look so yeah that'd be,
that'd be pretty interesting to see.
I think so. I gotta fill all that stuff in
this is going to take Take some time.
Yeah, let's keep that's brought that up earlier.
But yeah, that's about it for my week.
It's a, it's been pretty slow, you know, like I said, I'm just
trying to take my time. Yeah.
I think a lot of Minecraft youtubers are hitting a spot
where they're either working on large episodes, that require a
lot of work. So episodes are a little bit far
and in between mmm, or they're at a point where they're taking
a break because Summers coming to an end.
And that usually is time for Shins and stuff like that.
I've never been a summer vacation.
Guy. I met end of October vacation
guy. Hmm I like the fall fall is my
favorite Mizu? Or if you want to say, autumn
I'm good with Autumn I'd lived in Florida for years and
honestly I could care less for Beach especially living in North
Carolina. Now, I don't think North
Carolina beach is compared and I'm not driving all the way back
to Florida to enjoy a good beach though.
North Carolina does mountains. Very nice.
They're not / obtrusive probably like where they are near you
because I think you're right on that Appalachian Mountains to
well I'm more I'm right on the Ohio River actually.
Oh it's more way from that. Gotcha but yeah, we do mountains
pretty well here. So I prefer waiting till fall
and then I just get my car and I go driving through the mountains
with the windows down. It's nice.
Yeah, that fall weather you just can't beat it.
Hmm, not my eyes. My eyes me football season.
Oh yeah, yeah, I did the heat lazy man.
It just for me. It just drains.
I feel like I lose energy in the heat when the sun's just beatin
down on you, man. Some about it.
Yeah, it's been hot and it's been muggy here because we get
rain almost every other day now. And it's not like a nice good
rain. It's like it rains for two hours
just to make everything wet, and then human and miserable.
But we've been getting these small little gnat /, fruit fly
bugs everywhere. Like one of them landed on my
face. Last night as I was trying to
fall asleep. I end up slapping myself trying.
To kill it and it's just like, I shouldn't have a bug net for my
bed inside my house. This is getting ridiculous.
So I'm ready for the coldness to come and kill all these little
insects. Yeah, they can be annoying.
Anyways, should we go ahead and move on to the news.
Yeah, we got a few things, no Minecraft updates or anything.
No. Nor the what the PVE or the
combat update that there is OptiFine, is now out.
I think it is the full release I believe, right?
Hmm. Yeah, I'd actually just
downloaded it. I downloaded replay mod.
I think that's the full release. If not, you can still get it.
I'm not positive. And I was able to put those
together with Opti Fabrics. Everything I did on one point
16.1. I was able to do 11-point 16.2.
So now I'm able to do to do the whole replay mod effects, and
everything, and that would have been So much easier for my last
video. Yeah, but it's out now and I'm
thankful for that. Are you still using a fabric
letter? Yes, I really enjoy the fabric,
loader, when we were waiting for OptiFine.
I was always looking for a sodium version for 116 to, hmm,
because I prefer that over OptiFine, but it hadn't come out
yet and OptiFine, obviously was on their game for 116 to and
they finished up really quick so I'm on OptiFine right now.
Yeah, thing is As soon as I downloaded, I went on Minecraft
in Winter grave, past guest of ours was on there.
And I told him I just installed OptiFine and replay mod to where
they're now compatible with the 1.16 both of them together and
he was telling me, you know, you guys man, they must have been
working together to get it out so fast because you have to with
OptiFine, a replay mod. They have to I don't know.
They have to go together somehow something.
The coding, he mentioned, but he mentioned, you know, they
probably working together to get out so fast because it wasn't
one too long ago. Came out probably this is big
news for some Minecrafters. It's actually been pretty
popular lately with a PVP Bed Wars type of deal mr.
Beast gaming channel, had a battle between tick, no blade
and dream. And it was pretty entertaining,
these videos. I don't watch very much.
I I watched a couple dreams speedruns, it wasn't too
familiar with techno blade, but techno blade and dream.
They're considered like two of the best PVP oars out there.
And a lot of people were debating on.
Who is better? You know, people would say
techno, some people would say dream who's better, will mr.
Beast was able to get these two together and they fought it out
and it was pretty entertaining. If you don't want a spoiler, you
might want to Skip ahead, but techno blade ended up with the
Victory and it was very close, very entertaining I consider or
I recommend, you know, if you're into that go watch it it's a
pretty good time. Do you have got nothing?
Not the interesting part on Minecraft for me?
So yeah, like I said, we don't usually don't get into it, but I
do follow mr. Beast, I think is videos are
pretty entertaining and he does a lot of Minecraft stuff.
I saw that. There's like well let's see what
you know the fuss is about and it was pretty good.
I'm a fan of mr. B's especially considering he
lives in my state and when he was doing his food bank, thank
you remember that? Mmm.
Yeah, he actually did the food line right up the street from
me. Wow, that's cool.
He didn't mention that and the food line here, kind of kept it
under wraps. Mmm.
So there wasn't a bunch of random people showing up, but
when we watched his video, me and my roommate, Watching it.
We saw the Food Lion. And I went, I know that parking
lot. Wait a second.
That's our parking lot. Wow, that's pretty cool.
Yeah. Yeah.
He I love how he gives back. Yeah.
A lot of profit that he makes most of it actually goes right
back into his videos and the techno blade dream match was
actually four hundred thousand dollars.
He gave the winner hundred thousand dollars.
Jeez. So whoever won that.
So they were under a lot of pressure.
It wasn't just for Like you know bragging rights.
It was four hundred thousand dollar so yeah it made it even
more interesting to think what I could do with a hundred thousand
dollars, I shouldn't say that I'd be selfish with it and
basically by the home I'm living in so I could try to become
full-time YouTube. Yeah selfish.
It'd be pretty selfish. But yeah, getting onto other
news. There was actually a Bedrock DLC
update that had me considering playing Bedrock.
Yeah. And it's the Jurassic world DLC.
Mmm, it's the first time I've seen one of these DLCs through
the marketplace that I kind of went.
Oh, that spiked my interest a little bit.
Yeah, it doesn't happen a lot, but that one was intricate
enough and it looked smooth enough, sometimes you get these
DLCs and they feel quirky or look quirky.
Like something just doesn't match up kind of like this.
Probably shouldn't have been in a Minecraft world.
It's kind of like, when you get a Lego set.
That doesn't make much sense. Yeah, they mix and the, at a
frat forgot the kind of Legos that did it, but kind of like
that, but the DraStic World DLC looks really good, and I might
play it. I haven't decided yet.
I want to kind of get caught up on episodes.
I ended up having to cancel a stream this weekend if I could
finish my episode on Sunday. Yeah, I kind of got in a lower
is taken me almost two weeks to do an episode.
So I wanted to catch up. Mmm.
Yeah, so that came out and also we want to say, I guess a
congrats to the void frogs. If you guys haven't been paying
attention, you should be. They went ahead and they have
concluded their run for now. Yeah, 30 episode run.
So congrats guys. Yeah a lot of big names.
They had a lot of big names. Basically, you can think of
anybody you're following they might have been on the show and
they were also on our show. They were also on our Oh, and
they were kind enough to let us over there.
Yeah, we're on theirs. So that was a good time.
Great time. Yeah.
So shout out to those guys. Definitely go.
Give them a listen. Yeah.
For sure but Iran that we have no news for Minecraft.
No listener comments as week. Yeah.
We kind of had to make up news. Yeah.
They're oh I mean we found some we found some again.
Oh I don't know if I mentioned it for the Regular Show.
This was not the preconceived episode me and Jimbo had to make
this show up 30. Minutes before we started
recording. Yep.
So, if it feels a little out of place, that's our fault.
We're sorry. This was not planned like this,
we had a different show in mind that fell through.
So yeah if you guys feel like you have good topics for the
show Thro a Mattis on disk or we could even yeah definitely give
you a shout out you know let everyone know just topic was
from whomever was so I know we were getting a lot of topics
early on when we started the Discord and I think people felt
that maybe we didn't Our topic. So they stop doing that.
Definitely keep sending in topics.
Yeah. We might not talk about your
topic the next week but we have an entire section in our
spreadsheet, called ideas and we've marked through all of our
ideas. Yeah.
So if you guys want to help us fill that out some more granted,
they can't be like broad topics. Like don't say, talk about PVP
guys. We got talk about 40 minutes
worth of PVP. It's like that.
We're not PVP players, we're not going to be very good at that,
but we know you guys want to hear stuff like that so maybe.
We will have a PVP guest on one day.
I want to say like the data packs and plugins with
something, a lot of people wanted to hear us talk about.
Well, we're not datapack plug-in guys.
So we got winter, grave, and MadCat on and also Bedrock, you
know, a lot of people want to hear about Bedrock.
Yeah. And updates on that.
That's why we got Groove a guy. Yeah, we bought a Bedrock player
on to talk a little bit about it.
I won't throw him under the bus again, this but we can always
consider More Bedrock players. The bring on.
Yeah, should be fun. Definitely.
So yeah. If you guys got topics though,
Mattis, we're definitely keeping track of stuff like that.
And we try to combine topics whenever we think we can, but
it'd be great to have a back Source or back-end of topics
that we can just go ahead and pull from when we have stuff
like this happened. Yeah, happened happened words,
man. But anyways, talking more about
the Discord. Let's go to this week's Discord
ahead and this deters. The Jesus.
I'm not going to be Get through all of this this week's disc or
dad is from a previous guess, this is Cass.
Take it away cast. Is this thing on?
I'm cast and I'm here to figure out why you have yet to join the
with hermia fact. This court, it's a great place
to hang out with order Minecraft enthusiasts and the creators of
the show. It's also the only place you can
vote for block of the week. The link to join the Discord is
in the show notes. All right.
Thanks again. Casts, hopefully, we're back to
a point where I can actually function words, words hard Duds.
No speak. Yeah, you kind of got to do that
today. Yeah, staying on the Discord
topic. We got block of the week.
It's the only place you can vote for Block the weeks on Discord.
This week. We asked you guys to vote, which
of the following blocks, would you like Jimbo?
And I to discuss your choices where stonecutter, tripwire hook
and knobloch in the winter. after this week is, Note Block.
Congratulations and knobloch going to the vote.
This was very tight between all three of them.
Oh, yeah. Stonecutter had 13 votes.
Tripwire had 15 votes. The note block had 16.
So one vote decided the winner, which is always cool to see.
Hmm, got a few things about the note block here.
It can be crafted with eight of any wood plank.
Type and would one Redstone Dust man.
Okay, I can't talk either words. It's contagious, Jesus.
It can only be mined with an axe, preferably mind with an ex
plays a musical note. When hit or when powered by
Redstone must have are block above it.
To make it sound can be heard up to eighty.
Four blocks away and plays different instruments, depending
on the Block, it sits on with 25 different pitches available.
I'm going to correct you on this because I know our comment
section is going to be corrected.
You wrote this down but you said it wrong.
Can be heard up to forty. Eight blocks away.
You said 84 that's it. 84 you said 84 you wrote it down 48.
Yeah so I'm going to throw it out there because I know every
time we miss speak even though if it's just us being stupid
like that. Yeah, we get corrected.
So he did have 48 down that 84. Yeah.
Numbers. Now we're its numbers.
Geez. We can't have a struggle in on
Birds and then struggle on numbers.
I mean, we might as well, no talk no more.
Let's end the show here. You owe me.
Read us out this week was an easy block of the week, mainly,
because the Note Blocks have so much room for improvement.
Hmm, everybody's improvement from the note block, was
relatively close to the same and that was a GUI for no blocks.
Don't know why they don't have them, they should have them, you
should be able to click a note block, choose the note and be
done with it. I think decoy has an episode
somewhere where he talks about no blocks and how to improve
them. Yeah.
Might have to look for that. Yeah, he does.
But not sure the specifics of it.
But yeah, that's kind of been everybody's Improvement, but the
note block is GUI GUI GUI. Yeah.
So I was like, how can I take that one step forward?
So I can bring my own twist to this GUI thing and my thought
is, so when you place a note block down, you can place it on
certain blocks. Create different tones and
sounds right, why not? Instead of placing the do block
on a block? Why not place the block inside?
The note block kind of like you do a beacon.
You have to put an ingot in there.
Yeah and my thought process with that is save space.
You can make more compact knobloch songs.
Yeah I like that. It could also be prettier.
I mean, a lot of times you got a hide all that stuff I guess
you'd say. Still have to it can get pretty
bulky but you know hiding the block inside of the new block
would make it a lot more convenient.
Oh yeah. Sure possibly mix them.
You know, maybe get two of the same sound and one said, put two
new blocks next to each other. You know, put maybe a sand and
an ice block inside of one and you can get the same sound.
They would have to be the same pitch though.
Yeah, I wasn't sure about that. I thought about that, but I
don't know enough about noteblocks.
If that Make sense or break the entire system altogether.
Mmm. Yeah, I was just running off
your idea. It's the natural way to go, but
like I said, I don't know enough about noteblocks.
I haven't really played with them other than using them for
decoration. Yeah, it's a mess.
They make a great decoration. They do.
They're very cool-looking blocks.
Very unique used in Redstone a lot.
Yeah. Every AFK Fisher for years has
used the note block, right? Yeah.
I don't have much of a fix. But when I brought up Up when we
had to do the Jukebox. Yeah earlier I don't know how
long ago it was but I brought up.
It'd be nice to record your note blocks into a disk and just
wanted to bring it up here. I think I'd be pretty neat to
you know, have a you know a song and be able to record it to a
disk onto her from a jukebox. Let that be pretty neat.
Yeah, I still think that's a cool idea.
I just don't know how you would implement it.
Yeah, it's not so much snow. Lock related, but still uses it.
Hmm, figured, I'd bring that out, but beside that, I don't
have much of a fix. So should we go ahead and hop
into the main topic this week? Yeah.
So the main topic again working on the Fly.
We came up with is kind of a step by step on our design
processes, both me and Jimbo have been expanding and we're
building bigger, definitely Jimbo more so than I and we're
not hermitcraft level giant builds, but We are very much
building in the large scale and detailed scale.
And I know for some people, it's too daunting.
When you think about a project that large, so everyone kind of
stays small, and I wanted to break it, break it up and kind
of explain how we do it. So, maybe it doesn't feel as
daunting because it's really not that bad Jimbo.
I don't know if you want to go first, or you want me to go
first? I can start us off.
I guess. Go for it.
So when designing something, Name like conception, and laying
it out, and determining block pallets.
All, that kind of stuff. Go for it.
Okay, it's kid, Carl. Can we get a cricket noise?
Okay.
I was wondering because there were no sounds coming through
there so I thought I had lost you on disk.
No, I was just going to bring up kind of what I'm dealing with
now in the process. I'm kind of going through right
now. Yeah, I have a big build right
now. I don't know if anyone is
following it, but, nah, I mentioned before I have a, I
have a huge void down to bedrock at my base, the first, Thing I
have to do is consider the terrain.
What's around me? Can it be molded?
You know, can what structures I need there right now?
I have a witch hut and a Pillager Outpost.
Now, in order to put these two inside of one base area, I had
to do a lot of math. So much math is involved when I
do basis, because something in my head, Like symmetry, you
know, I like symmetry lot of people enjoy the symmetry, so I
do a ton of math and I like to deal with shapes, so I get a
shape in mind and then usually, yeah, I'll shape it first before
I really start building anything.
Once I get to shake down, then I'll start to build
terraforming. Usually comes in a little bit
later, block, pallets. Now, that that goes with what
the plan is. What do I want to build this
season? And my block palette is fairly
simple. I usually don't know how to put
this when considering a block palette you need, slabs and
stairs for one just to get a better shape.
So, there's only so many blocks, unfortunately, you can't use
concrete slabs and stairs. There's no such thing.
So you want to expand to other blocks to fit in your palette
that can It with your theme. So I want to go something
modern. So I would have to use, I could
use concrete but quartz could be used in a modern build sad about
it. Is that the only stairs and
slabs that are like modern, like yes.
I mean, you could do polish Black Stone stairs and slabs.
Yeah. Well you also have, you know,
the andesite and diorite polished.
Just stares and slab. Those can be used there too I
guess. But yeah.
The thing is like I don't have much of a block pallet already
in place, you know, I'm still trying to figure out how the
thing is going to look at. Once I figure out how the thing
is going to look, then I'll get the block palette ready and a
lot of this season is going to be variations.
I'm going to try to blend different blocks together, kind
of as if I'm Idea, is that like Terror form a build?
I don't know if that's a thing. Yeah, I'm a little confused on
that. Well, the bottom because it's
going to be kind of modern kind of futuristic.
Actually, the bottom of my tower is kind of going to be like the
terraforming molding into the tower and then it's going to
turn into the actual Tower. That's the idea of the look, I
just don't know the shape and how it's going to look.
But right now I'm trying to figure out out how much area I
need, where things are going to go, usually, after that.
And then you start considering the Farms, what Farms do I need?
Where they going to go? I have plenty of space.
So where does it make sense to put it?
You just don't want to put a farm anywhere that just doesn't
make sense and I like things symmetrical.
So it's either going to be. Yeah, opposite of one Farm or,
you know, adjacent from it. I That's the same word I just
said but I think I think you get the gist.
I can't wait to break your symmetry one day.
Oh man. I used to be the exact same way
and then last season building my castle keep base.
I purposely would break symmetry to try to break my mind from
thinking that way and it frees, you so much.
Yeah well I could I mean I built a mountain last year That's a
totally different. I don't know, way of going
through, things. Way of going to, through the pot
process of starting builds, man, the words and you, you're
starting a mountain. Hmm.
This season. What's that process?
Like to talk about the process this season.
Like you got to start at the beginning.
So this is like six months ago when I started planning out for
this season. As strange as that sounds that.
How far in advance time thinking about basis and next, builds and
everything like that and this season was supposed to be a
modern building in a jungle biome being overgrown.
Just so happened. A famous YouTuber.
The event unknown went with the same idea and let's face it
Exuma. Does it very well?
So I know I just said it won't be named but yeah, it didn't
help that I couldn't find the right looking jungle on the
server. So So there were some nice ones
but they were like several thousands of blocks out I'm
talking like 15,000 blocks out and I don't like being that far
away from everyone because it just becomes a single player
world and I would rather play single-player like that then do
something like this. So I wanted to be more close to
spawn in the shopping district and everything like that.
So what it came down to was I have my original idea of a
jungle biome build is gone because there's not a jungle Ten
seven, thousand blocks of Spawn. It's pretty deep.
Yeah, I needed to come up with something different and new.
I was like what's a biome? I really hadn't built in before
and I really wanted to play with coral reefs because I felt on
the last season, common craft, I kind of got robbed of coral,
reefs, I built in an ocean biome and I had this giant window into
the ocean but I had nothing there because it wasn't the
Aquatic update yet. Hmm.
So I was like, you know what? I'm not being robbed this
season. I'm going to build on Coral Reef
and I ended up finding a couple islands that but their plan from
then was just a build near the coral, reefs, maybe down into
doing an underwater base or something like that.
But I came across these islands. So it just so happened.
Lincoln mrs. Ling, chose the area next to
them and I had asked them if they didn't mind if I moved in
next door and it just happens, they found a new area to go
build in, but yeah, these couple little Islands right next to
each other and I went. Okay.
It could be a great place to start something.
What else could I build here? And then I remembered scars,
pirate mountains, or whatever, from season, six hermitcraft.
Hmm, I went. Okay, that's cool and stuff.
But I don't want to 1, again, copy another famous YouTuber
because then I should have just gone with my overgrown.
Jungle, Martin build. And then I remembered your build
from last season the prismarine mountain.
I say, you know what? I Like that idea of mountains
and my pirate-themed mountains would be different from Scar and
the way I would want to pirate-themed it.
So I went with that idea and it really hit me when I had the
idea for the storage room I wanted.
Yeah, there will be a mountain and stuff and that was kind of
scars. Main focus was the exterior.
My main focus was the inside I wanted dark and I don't want to
say gloomy or anything like that because this is The supposed to
be a Pirate Cave so their party is going on on the inside and
stuff like that. But I was like, what would be a
cool rambunctious party hang out for some Pirates and stuff and I
had the idea for the cave and this Lagoon in the middle.
And these shanties surrounding the inside of the Lagoon.
Yeah, I wanted to fill my mountain with a lot more stuff
on the inside, wasn't able to get around to it.
But it's always A nice look. So these little sea shanties,
we're going to be the inside. And the thought was to put like
my storage room in one Shanty, and my bulk storage, and another
Shanty and stuff like that, and then I ditched that idea pretty
quick. So I realized my confined spaces
weren't going to allow laborat rooms.
Mmm. So then I was like I should just
make the face of the the shanties my storage rooms and
furnaces and stuff like that. So instead of Thing a room with
this stuff in it. I was just bringing the main
focus wall, the wall were the chest and stuff.
We're going to be just pulled it forward.
And I was going to make that the front of the sea shanties.
And I think it's coming out pretty good.
I have an idea. So the inside it's going to be
like, you're outside. So you're not really gonna know
if you're inside or outside and that's kind of the whole me
bringing some magic into it. Yeah.
It's very hard to explain because when you think Pirates,
you don't think magic and stuff like that but I was like how
cool would it be if like these Pirates went into this like cave
Village and lost track of time and they ended up just staying
there forever partying and drinking rum and stuff like
that. What would that be like?
Yeah, so that's kind of what I'm playing with and if you've seen
my last episode that's come out Monday, you'll you'll start to
see the beginning of it and I hope everyone.
Really likes it because the last couple basis I've built.
I've had this like sketch in my mind and putting it in the game.
I've been able to do it and I've been getting so excited with it.
And it's just these constant little ways of thinking little
changes to think, I went from Modern building and a goggle to
this. And it's such an extreme change,
but it's always just one question at a time.
It's like, oh, where would you? To build coral reefs, you
immediately think. Well, let's build underground.
And then like you said, you got to pay attention to the terrain
that's around you. I had three little Islands next
to me. It's like, okay, those are
pretty cool, but I need to enclose my structure.
Some, how do I want to build a house?
No, I don't want to build a house.
I want to build a cave. Well, we're caves located in
mountains. So built a mountain like I don't
have enough room to put a Shanty in it.
So what am I going to do? I'm going to take the most
important role of The Shanty Pull It Forward.
Now that wall is going to be a quote-unquote house.
And I need to frame this to look like a house while really only
being a wall and the credit to being able to do that.
I'm going to give to Disney imagineering if you guys have
Disney plus and you're into building and stuff like that,
watch the imagineering document or documentary series on there.
I think it's like five to six episodes about an hour long each
episode. And the way these people think
and see the world really translate into designing
Minecraft buildings and stuff like that.
If you can start to see how they see things it opens up a new bit
and that's how I've kind of been doing things, you know, like
when it comes to pallets or whatever.
I went. Okay.
So I need an ocean e palette without it like slapping you in
the face that it's oceany. So I wanted to use prison.
Because when we see prison reader Minecraft, we think
ocean. And then I went well, prismarine
gets used so much and you don't have a lot of the stairs.
Slab variance least, I don't think you do except for dark
prismarine. Well, it just so happens.
We have a Wither as farm. So black inks not hard to get so
I could use the dark prismarine variation.
Yeah. And the way I build my palettes
and Bill style is always the rule of three So you need three
different blocks and three different kinds of textures.
So my three blocks for this palette are stripped dark oak,
dark, prismarine, and warped planks.
And then the three textures are spruce, wood planks.
Because if you, if you put a spruce plank in a dark oak,
stripped log. It's the relatively close to the
same color, but gives this trip log texture, finally?
Hmm, dark prismarine has its own stairs and slabs that Comes
generously and warped, wood has stairs and slabs.
So that gives it some texture. Yeah, that's kind of how I came
up with a palette this time around here in the way you went
about going through things you know makes me want to come back
and explain a little bit about how I started mine.
I kind of started with, you know, the whole dig and
everything initially. When I wanted to build my base I
wanted to build it in The sky. Yeah, and I wanted to build a
spaceship, never build a spaceship before.
This is all, this all goes back to me, wanting to build
something modern and futuristic. Nothing more modern and
futuristic than a spaceship to go with the spaceship.
I like to have some kind of farm to go below it, because I'm
going to be in the sky. I wanted to make a perimeter,
but I needed something to go below it.
And that's when I Thinking witch hut, that's what got me to The
Witcher. I didn't plan on doing a
Pillager Outpost that was not the plane at all.
It just happened to be next to the witch hut.
I'm like perfect. Let's do this.
Which because of the math I was doing made my base a lot bigger
to fit these two in there. It wouldn't have been this big
if I didn't found that. Find that out pissed.
So plans got it. Escalated pretty quick.
Yeah, my block pallets pretty much going to be Be well, do
courts. Like I was saying a lot of
smooth courts. I want to make sure especially
the spaceship in my episode. I put out a little shop to where
I gave you diamonds for your courts.
Yeah, because I need so many of them and that's pretty much what
the spaceship is going to be. And I want to use the courts a
lot around the base also in the towers.
Now the terraforming didn't ever come to mind until I saw the
black stone as soon as they introduced the Blackstone I was
like I'm using that. Holy crap.
I'm building a spaceship. I can't use that.
Where am I going to use it? I could probably use it in the
spaceship but I see it more as a terraforming, like a opportunity
to make a different kind of terraforming, kind of like as if
two spaceships coming in and it kind of burns a hole into the
ground, you know. That type of deal.
That's the kind of feel I want to go for.
I wanted to do like a layered glass.
Look now I'm starting to think of just the the lag it's going
to bring. I don't believe it's a server
thing, right? If I were to do glass, I think
it would just be a client-side. Yeah, it would be on my side.
I guess it would depend if my computer could handle that, I
think it would. And people come into my He's,
they might have issues with it. So I'm still on the fence about
that. I was thinking that, you know,
just carpeting it and terraforming it.
I would like to mob proof, proof it, if possible, that might be
pretty difficult, but just because there's so much of it,
it would mainly be carpets and it just, it would look to
uniform for terraforming terraforming.
You don't want it necessarily uniform you want, It, you want a
certain shape you want it. What I'm looking at is more
broken up and like I said, I like the variations in the
broken up. Look in the overgrown.
So I'm going to use that. Definitely going to try to use
some of that and yeah, just thrown carpets down just seems
like I'm yeah, I don't know. Getting away with something.
I don't know how to put it. Really don't have.
Put that in words. Yeah, I don't feel, I don't want
to like cheat people like that. It would be very simple to do.
Very easy on me, but I feel like I could do better than just
their carpets. Yeah, probably, the best way.
I can explain it back to the mountain thing.
When I sort of build my Mountain, the first thing I did
was come up with the palette. That's the first thing I did,
which is different than what I normally do.
I came up with the blocks I needed for this mountain and it
was prismarine. I wanted to use all prismarine
because I I wanted a guardian form to make a presbury
mountain, you're going to need that so I built my Mountain
first. First thing I did was make like
an outline all the way around. First you know I conquer the
monument and then I made this outline this kind of I don't
know all over the place. It wasn't a complete circle but
kind of I don't know. Different kind of shape.
Yeah, and I build up from there, I knew kind of the height.
I kind of New the shape, I kind of wanted.
So, I just started from all four sides, north south, east and
west. And I came up into, I came to
the point that wasn't a complete Point.
There's kind of like a volcano like area in the middle.
So flatten it out up top and then I made it was just all
Stone just filled it in with stone and then I came back to
the prismarine because I felt like if I were to put the
prismarine now down now I probably I wouldn't have enough
for one and for do for 24. Do I said for to I'd have to
come back and break it all up anyway.
So I just threw the stone down first and then came back and
terraformed. Its kind of double the work.
Yeah but it I think it was easier in the long run for me.
Yeah. When I was doing the outline my
biggest gripe I have when people build in the ocean is not taking
it down to the ocean floor. Yeah, I did that.
It's a lot of work doing it and I know People don't do it.
But to me, it doesn't look right doing that.
And I knew I didn't want to spend all the time bringing
blocks all the way down to the ocean floor.
Texturing stuff under water is not fun.
No. When I saw these islands in the
thought, for the mountains came, I went.
Okay well, how am I going to put these mountains on these
islands? And I was like, all right, so I
want the island to act like the mountain is protruding through
it and not so much sitting on it.
So my thought process was the island, has a nice Beach going
all the way across it or all the way around it and green in the
center. So I thought, well, I'll make
the base or my first layer of the mountain, where the green
touches the yellow in the sand. So wherever the grass outline
was, was my circle, quote, unquote for the base of the
mountain. And then I did what you did.
And I went north, south east west and just kind of built up.
Well, I shouldn't say that. My next step was I found
relatively close to the center and built a pillar.
Until I thought it was the correct height.
Hmm, and once I figured out the correct Heights, I went north,
south east west and I just did random lines up to it.
I tried not to make them too straight.
I tried to make them not sharp or curved too much.
Just general Wiggly lines, all the way up to it and when I was
doing the Wiggly lines. The first one, I don't know how
many times I built a line. Tore it down.
Built a line change something then tore it down and built a
new one. I think I was in a coal with
Carl and the first I think east line took two and a half hours
to do and I was like man if this is going to take this long I'm
gonna quit, I'm not doing this stupid Mountain, this
ridiculous. Once I got the first one in
place, the second one came easier and the third one came.
Easier in the fourth one came easier and you just don't want
to like stair. Step it up.
Yeah. You know that would be a
pyramid. So you got to figure out the
shape. What it's gonna you know, what
shape you're looking for like me, I would go up like three
blocks and then come in one. Go up another three come in and
then maybe two and maybe come in one.
I don't know. It's it's kind of hard to
explain but you got to have the image in your head of the shape
before you start you know, fill one all.
At in I knew I was building inside the mountain that a lot
of my base was just right on the other side of this thin wall.
So I went okay what am I having in here?
I'm having a storage room. What kind of storage room do I
want in here? And that was like a multi item
sorter. Okay, now what multi items water
because you have what I call the categorize ER which is something
like cast is designed. Or there's another guy who's
built one that cofán 135 used and it's a very tall.
When you build it, so it's like, okay, whatever I'm building
inside this wall is gonna be at least seven or eight blocks
tall. So my first couple I should say
vertical blocks on my base ring were relatively straight up and
then would come in one and then go up for another five or so
blocks. Then come in one and then I
would taper in. So I would have some flat area
and then when I got towards the top, I went straight up again to
kind of find the Y level. I wanted to be at it really is
freestyling it when you're doing a mountain, I found yeah.
Yeah, you have your base Circle and you have your four
directional guidelines. I should say.
But you're mainly just kind of winging it.
Your, I went around the base of the circle and I built up words
going up. Like you said, every three to
four blocks It look and be like okay this directional line I
went up seven blocks for some crazy reason, right here.
Instead of going up through blocks and over, I need to go up
at least five blocks and then over there's very much spots on
my mountain. That do not line up correctly,
but I know I'm going to have to go back to the entire mountain
and texture it. So I'm not too worried about it.
It's just understand when you're building a mountain you're
probably going to be building it twice once or even three times.
You got the wire frame. Yeah.
Did you got the, what I call pay?
Paper, mache, which is just a quick wall and then you have the
text string, which is the finished product.
So, yeah, I do, I mention, I tried to take my Mountain to
floor. I remember when I was working on
my final episode, and my final episode, I wanted to finish my
Mountain because I didn't want to go on finished and I was
like, man, I just doesn't look right just like floating here.
I want to take it to the floor on one side.
It's like already. There, it's already kind of
connected. Even then, that could have used
it was kind of flat that could have used a little bit of
structure, but I tried to do the wiring frame thing, and I did it
on different sides even like some at an angle, not just
north, south east and west. And then I started feeling it in
and I realized like 41 the base got bigger, you know, the base
area, it got wider. So there's even more work and
then I'm like three hours in and I noticed I'm like getting
nowhere. This is going to take weeks to
do. I want to get this episode out a
lot sooner. So I ripped down what I had and
I put the episode out as the mountain as is, I did want to
take it down but I don't know it just it wouldn't look right.
If I were to bring it down all the way to the floor and not
terraform that, not break it up a little bit either, because I
was just putting the Own down at that point and I was like, man,
I'm not going to be able to do this, let's just leave it as
Stone. And once I saw like, you know,
the walls going up, the bottom of the mountain, it just didn't
look right, it didn't feel right.
So, I just took it down to leave it as it was because it looked
great how it was, it just, yeah. That's one missed opportunity
that I wish I could have done was bring the mountain all the
way down to the bottom of the sea.
See, and I think you building a mountain first is what is
enabling me to do it this season?
Because I know the sections you struggled at and if the parts
you would change, if you could change.
Mmm. So I'm able to kind of take
advantage of that. It's like, okay, Jimbo's
Mountain was really, really big looked good but really big, a
lot of work. I can't put in that kind of work
or time, but if you pay attention to details, that all
works out, Came up with a much smaller design but still the
same level of detail you're putting in.
So hopefully it's going to turn out.
Okay. Yeah.
And with the amount of like building, I did below it and
Redstone, I don't think that compares to the terraforming
that I've done. Yeah, I put a lot of time in to
terraforming that mountain and not just the mountain itself,
you know, there's the podzol I used all around it in the trees,
the trees. Oh my God.
Yeah. That was that's the other thing.
This mountain I'm building is going to have a few trees on it
but nowhere near as many years your trees.
Yeah, yeah. That's what took a while.
I mean once you get a rhythm of doing your terraforming in your
trees, you kind of speed up a little bit so that helps
consider that. Also, when building try not to
on a try to build things in the same way so you don't have to go
back and fix others. Did that with one of my trees?
And I was like, oh, I like this tree better.
I'm like, wait a second. I got to go back and fix all my
other trees now to match this one.
Yeah. And I did, but yeah, it turned
out really good. And it's also important to put
out there. This is the way me and Jimbo
think, and design and stuff like this.
This process might not work for you.
Mmm. And I know, at one point, I
can't remember if it was you Jimbo for was still Bank on the
show, where we talked about laying out, Bases and stuff for
survival smps. And what all you want to put
into it. But now we've kind of gone
through a step-by-step. Well, I shouldn't say a
step-by-step process, but a general step process for how
we've gotten to where we're at now.
Hmm. And some of our builds, this
doesn't include like houses or anything we're talking about,
you know, Mega builds kind of Base builds.
Yeah. I mean if you want to go simple,
I always stand with the rule of three, it's three different.
Right kinds of blocks with three different texture variations is
always nice. And remember, I'm using Spruce
plank as a texture variation for strip dark oak.
It doesn't have to be the same block necessarily as long as the
texture matches up. So, keep that in mind.
It's definitely important to make sure you have stairs and
slabs in your palate. Yes, also don't don't pick the
blocks like, you know, people love concrete.
I love Concrete, but there's not stairs and slabs in them.
You can always use that but make sure you have blocks to
complement it with some stairs and slabs.
It just helps out to bring in more depth, stuff like that.
Also terracotta, you can't get stairs and slabs with that.
And those are a lot of blocks people like to use also.
Yeah. But I think that's going to do
it for us today Jimbo where I have you read us out.
