Hope you enjoy today's episode on the hardcore world! What do you think of the castle base?! I'm loving it! I did want to leave a note that Empires and Better Minecraft are returning soon, just enjoying the holidays and the new update currently ♥️
It’s not a change, that means 100% that there is a lush cave below there. Just dig through the rooted dirt until you find it. (Might have to mine a stone block or two but I recommend mining down from the trunk of the tree was)
Now that insane mountain ranges are naturally part of the game, thinking about how much building space and capacity that frees up in you and how your already incredible builds are going to probably evolve and become that much more epic is making me squeal
Hey fWhip, if you haven't done it already, perhaps the area beneath the elevated river could be adapted into a flooded cavern of sorts? Could make a cool place for axolotls!
When Fwhip doesn't make a video really quickly, I don't think "Fwhip won't make us videos!!!" I think instead "Fwhip is building us something huge and awesome!!!"
I felt that way too this week! I thought a couple times, "huh, it's been a few days since fwhip uploaded. Did he upload today?" And when he didnt I just assumed the next video would be huge lol
I followed Fwhip on Twitter for these kinds of updates but I totally agree. Went from sometimes 3 videos a week to 1 maybe 2, but it's absolutely worth it
Another suggestion of mine which I haven't seen in other series yet, have you considered making a sort of 'valley village'? Maybe houses raised up on platforms, and bridges stretched out either straight or even mimicking rope bridges across the gaps to connect different areas? It could be so cool to see colorful buildings when you look out from the castle While houses built into and on top of mountains sounds really cool, I think a hanging village would be so interesting!
Me after a few weeks in a new world: “well I got my starter house and enchantments and mending I feel like I’m doing well!” Fwhip: *builds castle on episode three*
fWhip is freaking insane man, a whole castle on episode 3? Makes me so excited for the rest of this series. Hopefully you'll finish the interior of this castle as well 🤣😂
This is literally 5 million subs worth of video. Im so grateful im able to watch these quality videos from you fwhip, thank you a lot for all the time you put into these videos
Can we just appreciate how he called something some of us would die to be able to build especially in the early game a "glorified cobblestone box" love it fwip😂😂
@@ghastlygale I'm sorry, I don't have an AO3 account and I'm waiting for someone to teach me, if that makes sense. On the other hand, I did come up with a Big Man Norman one-shot revenge story that is hurt-no-comfort, so I might get around to that when I can.
Idea for the trees: Dig out a big space in a lush cave (potentially converting more of it to moss), then plant a huge underground fairytale forest! You could even make a trading area for villagers and make a cool fairytale village.
Fwhip, I have a little interior tip for you. If you make an entire an area completely filled with concrete and make some maps it would make a monitor. I think if you place it on your wall, get some black stone walls and get a black stone button it could make a very convincing PC setup Edit: I have tried this before but it will be a big problem with a big map so I think the smallest setting is best
Fwhip: And in just 40+ hours Me: Trues to rebuild it *One eternity later* Me: Yay I finally finished the first tower Edit:Thank you guys for all of the likes on this comment
fWhip, I am new to this channel, and your past 3 episodes of this Let’s Play series are phenomenal!! I wholeheartedly recommend that you continue this series for years to see the progress that you put in. I must admit, you have given me motivation to possibly start my own series. ❤️
Every one of you from empires does such an insane job at creating depth in tiny structures that are often only 3 blocks wide on the interior and somehow 5 blocks wide on the exterior. Ive been trying to imrpove, hopefully there will be some juicy seeds of information to learn from in this series
This looks great and I can't believe how much work went into this one episode. For my liking the epiodes can be a bit more slow and with less singular clips, but you do you! Maybe do the interior next episode?
i’ve loved this series so far!! i’m new to getting into minecraft (after my s/o trying to convince me that i’d love it for years), and this series is so addicting and inspiring to watch!
fWhip, I'd just like to say that you are crazy. In the best way possible. The amount of progress you've made already since 1.18's release is just madness! Props to you man, a serious inspiration to myself
Flip seriously put so much freaking effort into this episode and it really payed off the castle looks amazing and it really shows just how dedicated you are, I think next you should either work on the interior of the castle base or work on villager trading, maybe even a villager hall near the new castle ? Can’t wait for the next episode
Fwhip, here is the idea for your next build, i hope you read it 😁 : 1. A dungeon underneath your castle with a sewer system that go all the way down to the river. 2. I think you need to changes the river underneath the bridge into a custom lake, because i think the river is to small with the size of the bridge. 3. If you done build the custom lake, maybe you need to build a fisherman town beside the lake with a fisherman house and a dock, and maybe add some ship that cross the lake
This is so amazing, and my worldbuilder mind strated to tickle when you ended the building of the castle. I suggest that in this small valley where your civilization started to be build, i think you should separate everything into districts that are specially builded and designed to add an important part to society: Like your starter house can be part of an farming district and the castle (that still looks great but for me looks more of an keep) in a protection and army kind of district.
Hi fwhip! I just wanted to comment that I started following u when u had 30k and while I haven’t seen ur videos in about a year, I’m super proud and happy to see how much you’ve grown! ur videos give me a sense of peace 😊
This is my third time watching through all of your vids in the hardcore playlist - they accompany me as I strip mine and chop trees. I love that the trend of massive progress starts as far back as episode three.
This hardcore series is insane and my favorite by far, just watched your recent video of transforming your flower farms and making tulip fields and I had to see your start from the beginning!
Fwhip, first off I love the builds and designs. Second, I love how you're looking at the build and suddenly you spot a small shiney waterfall and instantly need to turn it into a massive river/lake/valley combo for added terrain enhancement!
Ive never focused so hard on a HARDcore series as i am now, fwhip has me intrigued by how he talks and builds 🙏 (I am now realising my pun is horrible-)
This is absolutely amazing. I would so love to be your apprentice so I could learn how on earth you conceive of these enormous ideas. I can’t tell you how incredible I think this project is.
What the heck fwhip!! At first I thought you were just gonna plan out the castle this episode, then I thought you were just gonna do the bridge and other side, and then I thought that you were just gonna do a bit of the main castle, but nooo, you finished the whole thing! I am almost concerned for your sanity, but I'm more impressed with your tenacity. GREAT JOB FWHIP!!!!!!!!
this whole build is amazing enough, but the fact that it has been done in HARDCORE is even more insane. I couldn't even do this in creative. kudos, fWhip
Just so you know, you can repair your pickaxes instead of enchanting new ones every time. Just make a normal diamond pick and combine the broken one with the normal one in an anvil. It will repair the new one, but cost a few levels.
@@hakimjasim3450 yeah but if the pickaxe is really low, it will cost more than 3 diamonds to repair, meaning repairing it with a diamond pick is a better value
@@daddycena9904 I'm a little late but it's useful to have many pickaxes (with mending) for big projects. If you watch cubfan135's hermitcraft s7, he had like 9 enchanted pickaxes to mine for ancient debris for his hallway
build idea: an underground goblin city, that has waged war on what I am sure will become Fwhips city. This would of course inspire many more builds, such as perhaps another castle made for the king (Fwhip) and maybe a goblin castle made for the goblin king. Also, a barracks for both sides would be a must. Btw Fwhip: This vid was epic.
For the next episode: 1. Full netherite 2. Getting an elytra 3. Villagers 4. Automatic farms I think these would be the best things to do if you want to survive the longest
As someone whos played and followed minecraft since alpha, this is different. This is on a WHOLE new level. I can't even imagine what it takes to be able to do this.
Fwhip after 9 days: terraforming terrain, building a giant bridge, castle, waterfall and river. Me after 9 days: I need to leave this cave hole and build my starter house
I also love to do big maps of my kingdom. I’d recommend putting banners with the hight of each mountain on each peak so you have a visual representation on the map.
Now you gotta make the valley itself into a small village, three or so clusters of buildings, with dots of farmhouses and ranches, all coming from the river, keeping many of the trees and creating a cozy feeling
Kinda wanna see a giant bell or a clock tower, I just suddenly imagined it, or a giant custom tree in the center of one of the caves and make it a lush cave. Omay I am so excited to see the future episodes!
The top three builders I watch are Fwhip, Gem and Sausage, and watching their episodes makes me realize how different their way of building is, and I love it
Build idea - finding that huge cave behind the keep, you should expand the castle into it and make a lush paradise, and possibly a dungeon in the too :) Also Love the Castle!
Hope you enjoy today's episode on the hardcore world! What do you think of the castle base?! I'm loving it! I did want to leave a note that Empires and Better Minecraft are returning soon, just enjoying the holidays and the new update currently ♥️
Yes i love your video and your builds are so good
How do you build so well tho
Best part of my day
Hey fwip!
If you put leather boots
on while exploring mountains
you won’t have to worry
about powdered snow
loved the episode! the castle turned out sooo good, well done! :D
1:45 you can see a Azalea tree between birch and dark oak trees, there’s a possibility that there’s a lush cave right under SO PLEASE EXPLORE IT!!!!
Like this so Fwhip sees it
I love lush caves
Well he did during episode four. :D
@@PsyArkron Yay!
It’s not a change, that means 100% that there is a lush cave below there. Just dig through the rooted dirt until you find it. (Might have to mine a stone block or two but I recommend mining down from the trunk of the tree was)
fWhip, the only man crazy enough to not only build a castle in episode 3, but stop in the middle of it to make a valley with a custom river. Mad lad.
Love how the pink sheep was looking for Gem. Gotta love the references
I know lol 😂 It’s Dandy!! 😊
“Have you seen Gem? I’m lost 🥺🥺” crying at how good of friends they are
Yeah poor dandy is los
Ya lol they r really gd friends tho poor dandy
He's pretty far out I hope he can find his way back
Now that insane mountain ranges are naturally part of the game, thinking about how much building space and capacity that frees up in you and how your already incredible builds are going to probably evolve and become that much more epic is making me squeal
Squeal 😳🙈
That and you don't need to spend Hours making mountains now
Eeeeeee!
YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! 😍😱
Lord Sausage!!!
No u!
Hi where bubbles?
AAA mythicalsausage!!!!
Where is episode 4!👀
Fwhip building skill never makes me feel disappointed.
Inadequate? Yes. Disappointed? Never.
17:15 Fwhip: "look at the view!" also Fwhip: *puts a transition over it blocking 90% of said view's good bits*
So true ! 😂
I came to the comments to see if someone already said this lol
r/beatmetoit
I don’t love this editor. fwhip’s edits were more chill.

A 'like' hardly seems enough of a gesture for this amazing castle build! Totally in awe of your building skill!
Like original comment to give him more thanks

Maybe houses raised up on platforms, and bridges stretched out either straight or even mimicking rope bridges across the gaps to connect different areas? It could be so cool to see colorful buildings when you look out from the castle

it would be cool but I would rather go with his style. Not colorful houses.
You can see this in Mumbo Jumbos Hermitcraft Mega Build
Such a cool idea!!
I SECOND THIS PLEASE
He actually did something kind of similar as a Goblin village in one of his previous series if I remember right!
Fwhipsanity in full effect! When you said you’d put more time into these videos you weren’t kidding! Awesome job on the castle
Me after a few weeks in a new world: “well I got my starter house and enchantments and mending I feel like I’m doing well!”
Fwhip: *builds castle on episode three*
fWhip is freaking insane man, a whole castle on episode 3? Makes me so excited for the rest of this series. Hopefully you'll finish the interior of this castle as well 🤣😂
he’s a madlad 😂
fWhip in his next hardcore series be like: to start off the first episode, let's build a megabase
He is really gonna pick up Joel's habits
24:34
"The Beacons of Minas Tirith! The Beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid."
You should put lightning rods on top of the walls on the towers, would be cool to see lightning hit the castle towers :)
fWhip says: “I’ll do the interior later”
Everyone who’s watched his last hardcore: “Are you?”
Yes very true
Will you*
@@Hasnain_khalid. lol english teacher lol
@@pisteng.inatay-pahawa-ngari 😁
@@Hasnain_khalid. lol
Fwhip this really reminds me of the burg eltz castle in germany. I'd reccommend looking at rhine valley castles for more inspiration!
thats true! i think ive even been there when i was a kid lol
Awesome! (Also, Gem, you better go grab Dandy. She wandered a bit too far...)
Hmmm.....
The Grove isn't complete without Dandy.
This is literally 5 million subs worth of video. Im so grateful im able to watch these quality videos from you fwhip, thank you a lot for all the time you put into these videos
Can we just appreciate how he called something some of us would die to be able to build especially in the early game a "glorified cobblestone box" love it fwip😂😂
this is seriously impressive, and on episode 3 too! i love the build style, this season is gonna be so great!
"Have you seen Gem? I'm lost." That is one long and magical trip you made there pink sheep. From Gem's grove all the way to FWhip's world!
Now I kinda wanna write that story...
@@ivyinkwell1754 PLEASE DO AND THEN SEND THE LINK SOMEHOW
@@ghastlygale I'm sorry, I don't have an AO3 account and I'm waiting for someone to teach me, if that makes sense.
On the other hand, I did come up with a Big Man Norman one-shot revenge story that is hurt-no-comfort, so I might get around to that when I can.
The bridge over the river leading into a castle gave me strong Windhelm vibes. Respect
9:09 for a screenshot doodle that looks EPIC
I do that for so many builds and it's super cool to see FWhip showing us the planning process
Keep on the lookout for granite with a lot of copper in it, and in the deep slate layer tuff with a lot of iron in it!!
And gold with tuff
@@Nonsensicl I haven't heard of this. Is tuff and gold new in 1.21?
@@JavaRivers no. If you search “gold mega vain minecraft” you should see “im not 100 on its tuff tho”
@@JavaRivers and it only spawns in the mesa

2:47 I literally said "Oh hi Dandy" when I saw the sheep
This looks great and I can't believe how much work went into this one episode. For my liking the epiodes can be a bit more slow and with less singular clips, but you do you! Maybe do the interior next episode?
These episodes are getting more epic every day
This episode inspired my own first bridge build. I’m so proud of it and I really appreciate your hard work on the episodes!
“It’s only episode 3 and I’m already terraforming”
Fwhip, you’re a builder. Why are you surprised 😂
Me: takes 100 years to place a block

Fwhip : " my brain is firing on all cubes because I don't know what a cylinder is "
Also Fwhip : *builds cylinder tower* :)
I absolutely love the castle you built. It's beautiful.
Literally nobody:
FWhip:
I built a castle on episode 3!
This is why we love FWhip, epic builds, always
It's so cool to come back here with the knowledge of future episodes and builds to see where things will be and connect
Gotta love the dedication fWhip has to this new series it’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it ❤️

I don think I've seen someone progress so quickly in hardcore. Diamond armor and a castle on Ep. 3 ??
Ive never focused so hard on a HARDcore series as i am now, fwhip has me intrigued by how he talks and builds 🙏
(I am now realising my pun is horrible-)
Can I please take a moment to politely remind people that this is EPISODE 3. This is already my favourite series of hardcore on EPISODE 3.
The castle looks insane already! Loving what you are doing in this world fWhip!
Man you're the freaking G.O.A.T of Minecraft's builders !! WHAT A PROJECT this early in the game x) Keep entertains us fWhip, it's insane !!
Can you construct a town at the bottom of the valley? Castle Keeps were often the center point of large, powerful cities.
Let's go love this series and it's only 3 episodes in 😃😃
I love how dedicated fWhip is and how he does such big builds in ep 3!!
Fwhip you are so underrated, you spend so much time to make content for us. We all love and appreciate you
THE FACT THAT U DID THIS ON SURVIVAL AND HARDCORE IS INSANE
This is absolutely amazing. I would so love to be your apprentice so I could learn how on earth you conceive of these enormous ideas. I can’t tell you how incredible I think this project is.
What the heck fwhip!!

3. Villagers
4. Automatic farms

the vibe in this series is immaculate so far🏰
2:50 Oh no, Dandy joined the wrong world!
True
As someone whos played and followed minecraft since alpha, this is different. This is on a WHOLE new level. I can't even imagine what it takes to be able to do this.
You could've given me 50 years to build what you've built on this episode and I still wouldn't be able to do it. Fantastic job! You got a new sub.
It's like the third or fourth time I rewatch the whole series from the beginning all those builds are so beautiful!!
your editing style has grown so much, i love it fWhip, im so excited to watch this series through
Fwhip after 9 days: terraforming terrain, building a giant bridge, castle, waterfall and river.
Me after 9 days: I need to leave this cave hole and build my starter house
Sameeeee
Only fWhip would make an entire castle, river, and terraform in episode 3.
IN ONE EPISODE
someone tell fWhip it’s episode 3
17:32 fWhip:Thats too SUS for my build *Blocks it off*
I also love to do big maps of my kingdom. I’d recommend putting banners with the hight of each mountain on each peak so you have a visual representation on the map.
fwhip ur insane. it’s episode three and ur already building a castle. u never fail to impress me
rewatching the whole hardcore series :) congrats on 1 mil fWhip!
Now you gotta make the valley itself into a small village, three or so clusters of buildings, with dots of farmhouses and ranches, all coming from the river, keeping many of the trees and creating a cozy feeling

But seriously though, this is insane! I especially love the bridge design!
