Minecraft Hardcore - Tumblr Posts

YT thumbnail! Just finished the thumbnail for my first Minecraft hardcore series! Honestly might change and tweak here and there, so feel free to critique! Time Taken: 2 hrs 12m OC: Greedy (R) Tink (L)
Guys... today is the day. The day that Philza's 4th hardcore world becomes 5 years old! We have all be waiting for this moment. Me, longer than most because I'm a month behind on streams but we won't talk about that.
Good job not dying, Phil!
Random confession: When I have dreams, the terrain in them is Minecraft blocks.
I had a dream that the Joker was bombing my Minecraft house because I turned his wife into a vampire.
I'm doing something I call the dog run that my friend suggested last minecraft live, basically you beat the game with only dogs. You get no kills only the dogs do ( dog kill doesn't count as a kill for the player statistic wise). Now we did do it once but it didn't count ( first reason below ) so I'm running attempts again. Also this time I'm getting every dog breed (9) because why the hell not.
The last few runs ended due to various stupid reasons
- Blew up end crystal at dragon fight ( enderman decided it was a great time to teleport up and got an explosion to the face)
- teamate died to wither skeleton
- my dog pushed me off a cliff and I died ( practically full heath and full diamond?? Also I managed to get every dog breed in this run, made ir all worse :< )
- I punched a rabbit to get the dogs to attack it ( rabbits love to be at low health and jump off cliffs )
- I punched a pig my dog teleported away from ( it had half a heart leftover???)
Here's what I learned
- stop punching animals, getting meat from villagers is faster, safer, and has no risk involved
- you can get bones in structures
- Iron golem hate skeletons
- wolfs hate skeletons
- prioritize getting a shield and boats
- make pitfall traps with trapdoors early game
- get villagers
- trade with piglins for fire resistance potions and ender pears
- it's possible to cure villagers without potions
( aka crossbow with wakeness tipped arrow which is something you can buy off a villager )
- dude, prioritize villagers
- pumpkin probably helps in the dragon fight
It's currently 12 am, I'm devising a strategy to get these weakness arrows by any means possible. Either by somehow constricting an iron farm or using string dupers, creating farms, etc. I'm not leaving my mountain until I'm geared up.
