This 35 minute cut is a masterpiece. Not just for the dedication and many many hours of grinding behind that made it possible, but also for the incredible editing
The fact that smant and devine compressed almost 200 hours of gameplay into a 35 minute video is truly insane to me Edit: over 600 hours actually. wtf.
As someone who watched through all 207 hours of vods, here are a few things that (obviously) didn't make it in the video but remain iconic and tragic and deserve to be preserved through time: ☆We started referring to the sky turtles as lesbians because smant had a revelation that both laid eggs. ☆ Lycel, (might know her as Smallants emote artist) , came up with the shield design, thus the name: "Thanks Lycel for the shield design I really apprec". ☆ Someone predicted that the kelp generator would break within an hour or so and we laughed at them, not long afterward, it broke. ☆ The thousands of bees that stayed alive hovering just above the void without unspawning or dying, had to be killed one by one with arrows to free the mod cap. ☆ The snowman that helped us with the wandering traders was killed, twice, the one currently held in the island and featured in this video is a constant reminder of those 'accidents'. ☆ Same with bobby, the official zombie villager converter, he's not the first of his kind. ☆ The powdered snow incident is mentioned, but I think it fails to demonstrate the pain and devastation that losing it brought, it wasn't momentary, we reminisced on it for the entire day, even weeks later. Some of us never stopped griefing. ☆ The slime farm was equally effective as a glowing ink farm, we never came up with a solution. ☆ The snow structure that teleported wandering traders into the nether scared us on at least 17 different occations due to resemblance to a ghast. ☆ Craftyboss (might know him as a mod creator) had at some point hidden a chicken in a glass box somewhere in the void as a fun surprise, this was never found, and was automatically deleted after the world adaptation. ☆ It is through this series that I was exposed to the full potential of smallants perfect timing on predicting when things would happend, specially his own death. ☆ The items in the item frames for the main chests would constant rotate when he tried to open them, some of them like the stone brick, are still in an incorrect position to this day, which definitely didn't drive chat mad. ☆ I can confirm husks drop sand. ☆ Smallant constantly repeared that his design for the Coble generator was 100% "idiot proof" and the entire chat joked that he would break it on hour 66, he didn't. At least not until the very last stream, over 150 hours latter when he no longer needed it, kinda tragic, kinda flex. ☆ The grind for the magma blocks to create The Machine™ was extremely painful yet satisfying. ☆ Two of the cats from out collection were named Pepperoni and Blu-ray by chat, precisely the mods. ☆ The villager traiding hall was made to have a two block deep floor in case he axed it and fell through. He still managed to fall through twice. ☆ Toggle crouch is one of the biggest anime villains, it caused more than one death. ☆ Smant created completely useless lapis lazuli and copper ore beacons exclusively to fuck with people just coming in, for which we grinded 4 extra nether stars. ☆ Inside our beautiful dirt house there is a sign that reads "live laugh love". ☆ Chat constantly repeated that the withers farm box would break, smant said no, eventually it did and a wither got stuck outside for a few days... or weeks. ☆ There are a few things that are theoretically possible, such as getting mining fatigue. The elder guardian could technically spawn when you load in a possible chuck and fall to the void. This applies to any other entity, although you'd have to get extremely lucky. Smant said he might do it in the future. Looking at this resume made me feel really dumb bc it brought tears to my eyes from the nostalgia. Yuck. These streams brought some of the best stories, and company I could have ever asked for. They happened during my last year of high school so many of these moments remind me of all nighters to finish art projects, studying and many breakdowns caused by frustration and indecision, I am now in my second year of university doing what I love in fashion design, but even now preparing for my final semester A submition in 3 days, skyblock and smant keep me company. These hours will forever hold a place in my brain and heart. Thank you to Smallant for the literal 207 hours worth of content, I definitely wouldn't have watched it all if it wasn't for you. Edit: thank you to everyone who wished me luck, this is another reason why I love being part of this community, I have finished my assignment on time and am on my way to submit so thanks. Every time I anxiously checked my phone to see the time I had left I was greeted with nice messages so again, thank you so much :)
To make sure that everyone knows how much he played this: I watched his stream for a bit, and then I went to sleep. When I woke up he was still streaming. I slept for around 9-10 hours.
@@mikelisavinacco2163yeah, Smant has been spending the last 5 and a half years just playing Skyblock. It's the _only_ sensible conclusion from him saying he spent 2000 days on this
I think I've watched what feels like HUNDREDS of hours of your VODs of this run. I can't believe you condensed THAT MUCH into a 35 minute video. You're the GOAT!
@@TheCoolGirl-uq2kq It's supposed to do that, it removes all the blocks of newly created chunks. So instead load up the Skyblock world first, THEN load the mod, and that should work.

*HOW* have I never come across your channel before??? Super chilled vibe, yet fast paced, informative, easy to watch and listen to, as well as great editing and a good balance of comedic value. 13 minutes into this video, you have a well deserved sub.
He doesnt post much due to how much he streams nowadays, and usually how insanely long the editing takes on these insanely long, in-depth runs... but man are they worth it. He's one of the few youtubers who I genuinely enjoy every second of watching.
I have to direct you to his pokemon all shinies challenge. It's a similarly compacted video about something that took him several days of constant streaming.
I know you’ve been working on this for a very long time. I’ve been waiting for this video to drop for so long and it’s finally here. Insane bravo to you SmallAnt for this amazing feat.
The scriptwritimg on this is marvelous. The pacing, the quips, the explanations... Everything is so perfectly crafted, and together with the editing and graphic design truly make this video a masterpiece. Fantastic job SmallAnt and team, you guys truly outdid yourselves.
Yes!! I watched a video some days ago about something I had not thought about RUclipsrs go through, and that is storytelling or scriptwriting as you said. I've became aware of this when I watch videos now and Smallant does it beautifully on his videos. It's something I cannot explain, but it's what makes a 35 minute video feel like 5 minutes. You could ask me and I'd honestly reply this video was at maximum 20 minutes long due to how engaged I was watching it
I legitimately spat my drank out during the bee shenanigans. The horse in a place it was not supposed to be killed me- it was *very* well edited indeed
This is insane, the sorting machine in the nether at 21:00 alone is more effort than I've ever put into anything in mc, and you did it all in skyblock. Great video mate!
it's actually insane to think about how long this has been in the making like yeah i know it says the amount of hours right there, but still i am so incredibly happy that it still got made after all this sure is a magnum opus
I watched almost all 200 hours of vods, I could not imagine beginning to try and start editting that monster. You are a marvel. Bless the Lesbian Turtles in the Space Program.
This is legitimately the first time I've ever seen someone do everything there is to do in skyblock, this video was amazing! I hope you enjoyed your playthrough, smant :>
Just saw one from Lord John where his start was even more barebones, just dirt, no chests or trees. Took him hundreds of days to get water and lava. Homie did some runescape level grinds. Good video.
Crazy, this easily could've been turned into a 10 episode series but props for cramming months of gameplay into a 35 minute video, only a handful of dedicated youtubers still put there like um
I cannot believe I’ve known about Minecraft for more than a decade and I somehow never knew you could spawn the wither sideways. That literally blew my mind
It was apparently changed to be possible back in 1.8 so around late 2014. Feels surreal to me that 1.8 was almost 10 years ago. We've had banners, slime blocks and ocean momuments for 10 years!?!
@@LeviathanXIV Yeah, but he made a post about it on discord and has said a few times on stream he really wants to have weekly uploads (to avoid uploading 15 times in one year) so who knows. Maybe this time he really means it.

As someone who stopped updating Minecraft at update 1.6.4, it's crazy to see how much has been added over the years. This video is absolutely crazy. So much time for this one video. Very impressive.
@@joshrayner7167 There was a pair of mods called the better dungeons and more explosives mods that never got updated past 1.6.4, and I was more interested in the mods than the updates. I've come back and started playing with the latest update though, and it's been fun.
The skyblock streams got me through a lot of months cooped up at home during the peak of COVID. It's amazing to see all of that hard work distilled into a video.
I need to point out how beautiful the storytelling on this video is. Being able to keep someone engaged and entertained through 35 minutes in such a pace that makes you don't want to lose one second, is a talent. This is beyond amazing, both the content itself and the way it is edited. Thanks SmallAnt and Devine CMD for the effort!!
This and alpharad's shiny hunting in lets go are the two vids ive been looking forward to the most this year. Good to see the first one absolutely slaps
My only comment about hoppers is that they can create a lot of lag looking for inputs from above, so placing a furnace above them reduces the lag as the hopper more easily checks the empty furnace
This is the pinnacle of RUclips content. This is high effort, high quality content and I wish I could see more of this. Thank you Smallant, you are our saviour! X
3:59 Technically speaking, you could build your way up to the Blaze spawning area (nether fortresses) in the Nether and start a mob farm from there to get the Blaze rods... but yeah with a witch it's easier
I haven’t played vanilla skyblock in years since I first got Minecraft. With most of my skyblock playthroughs coming from old modpacks like Agrarian Skies 1&2, ftb Infinity Expert Skyblock, Project Ozone 2. So when I say that I’m impressed I am. Many of the stuff you did in the video is as complex and time consuming (if not more) what these modpacks have to offer and is all with vanilla mechanics only, Jesus, didn’t expect that it was possible to get as far as the hardest achievement of the game nor as technical as your pillager trading machine and the rabbit hole behind to build it (really gives throwbacks to the changed recipes of these modpacks) Really impressive stuff. One thing I would have wished you did is making your base look a bit more fancy, than just platforms in the sky tho. But after that really good
32:28 you can sleep in a bed with cats nearby, they have a certain chance to give one of like 12 random items as a 'gift' each morning. One of the items in the loot table is a phantom membrane.
The VODs for this challenge provide literal weeks of background video. Tens of thousands of us have gotten through boring work days, school assignments and/or commissions thanks to this series.
21:55 thats some rimworld shit right there. i mean you have: - flesh eating zombie symbiote cult. - meat grinder to money pipeline - council of **randy** (random) its the purest essence of the rim. in minecraft!
id like to say that i helped with the script during an editing stream 1:01 I came up with the word 'excavated' so yeah youre welcome smallant ill be taking my paycheck any day now :)
Oml not only is camo the epic editor for smallantmom's channel, hes also the main scriptwriter on smants channel ?? ? Thats crazy, you're so talented !! ! smomLUL
btw if anyone is working with a lot of hoppers use composters on top to reduce lag. REASON: so hoppers try to pull in any item above it in a close range placing chests barrels other hoppers and so on it only has to look through the slots of the container instead of open air but composters only account as one slot and so reduces lag a lot. working with 100+ hoppers this is a game changer especially on servers.

SMANT BEING SO CASUALLY OUT OF POCKET
This happens every video
6:41 "family of unusually well treated amazon employees" 😂
You've heard of herding cats. But have you heard of herding bees?
Oh now this I am absolutely STOKED to finally watch
Im stroked to watch 🫦
What an insane challenge/playthrough. Especially the fact that you never changed versions made this endeavor PERFECT!
Honestly, if you had decided to make this video 3 hrs, I would've watched it all. This is so incredibly fun to watch.
29:11 "name everyone you've had sew with"
Me:
💀
3:30 that was convinient.
When minecraft added pistons, dispensers, and hoppers, it was destined to be industrial
This is the pinnacle of RUclips content. This is high effort, high quality content and I wish I could see more of this. Thank you Smallant, you are our saviour! X
You can get the rest of the advancements by having 1-n chunks with a ancient city room, stronghold room, amethyst, etc to fulfil the all advancements
I'm so sad this video ended. Wish it was 35 hours. Thanks for the amazing content as always Tanner.
I mean, the 'full version' is 207 hours.
@@nixel1324it’d probably be like 100 hours as there is probably long periods of nothing lmao
“The idea is simple”
"I needed to automate EVERYTHING"
Next vid: Turning Minecraft into Factorio
3:59 Technically speaking, you could build your way up to the Blaze spawning area (nether fortresses) in the Nether and start a mob farm from there to get the Blaze rods... but yeah with a witch it's easier
16:27 sounds like a childrens' book.
True that
I haven’t played vanilla skyblock in years since I first got Minecraft. With most of my skyblock playthroughs coming from old modpacks like Agrarian Skies 1&2, ftb Infinity Expert Skyblock, Project Ozone 2. So when I say that I’m impressed I am. Many of the stuff you did in the video is as complex and time consuming (if not more) what these modpacks have to offer and is all with vanilla mechanics only, Jesus, didn’t expect that it was possible to get as far as the hardest achievement of the game nor as technical as your pillager trading machine and the rabbit hole behind to build it (really gives throwbacks to the changed recipes of these modpacks)
Really impressive stuff. One thing I would have wished you did is making your base look a bit more fancy, than just platforms in the sky tho. But after that really good
The editing on this video is phenomenal. Huge congrats to smant for finishing the challenge.

"The pig is doing parkour, the horse is on the roof, and the llama is going for a swim"
Because in Parkour Civilization, even the animals have to do parkour
Except the fact that this is already insane, the animation of this video are super niice.
32:28 you can sleep in a bed with cats nearby, they have a certain chance to give one of like 12 random items as a 'gift' each morning. One of the items in the loot table is a phantom membrane.
You need warts to make the potion
Good point 😂
Couldn't he just have got the membranes by killing a phantom bud
20:36 somebody needs to tag Mumbojumbo for this sorting monster XD /lh
I'm in the thumbnail :D
I wish I was :(
I am too no cap😊😊😊

@@NightCatFN I’m gonna rip my tide all over your hive montage
Never thought I’d see a Skyblock video, considering how long the series went without one
6:29 i though my monitor was falling over since i had my lights off. mini heart attack.
🤣🤣🤣LOL
same bro
YES A PART 2 PLEASE
The VODs for this challenge provide literal weeks of background video. Tens of thousands of us have gotten through boring work days, school assignments and/or commissions thanks to this series.
do you know where it's possible to watch the vod?
@@seipher1552 a couple of the streams have been uploaded to the vods channel
@@seipher1552I assume on twitch but he also had a vod RUclips channel. Idk if everything is on there @smallantvods
watched all these vods in the background when they would come out. so many memories 🥹
I love how nautilus shells were after fully enchanted diamond armour.
What I have after 8 sessions of Minecraft: 1:14
What Minecraft RUclipsrs have at Episode 2 of their series: 11:04
19:02 "actually you could have clutched with a block🤓☝"
Leave it to Smant to release a video nobody asked for, but we all ended up thankful for!
Literally everyone was asking for this video he’s been streaming this challenge for like a year
@@jpshy1130 I guess I’m out of the loop then D:
34:52 the axolotl is named Wooper but that variant is actually based on Mudkip
This was a HUGE project, the fact you were able to edit it all is amazing
21:55
thats some rimworld shit right there.
i mean you have:
- flesh eating zombie symbiote cult.
- meat grinder to money pipeline
- council of **randy** (random)
its the purest essence of the rim. in minecraft!
"unusually well treated Amazon employees" is truly something Canadians would say
I know you may not see this, but if you ever have another situation with a bunch of hoppers, you can put composters on top to lessen the lag!
35:00 "there isn't anything else I feel I need to do in this world" damn Smant posts his magnum opus and now he's dying, rip in peace I guess
id like to say that i helped with the script during an editing stream
1:01 I came up with the word 'excavated'
so yeah youre welcome smallant ill be taking my paycheck any day now :)
Oml not only is camo the epic editor for smallantmom's channel, hes also the main scriptwriter on smants channel ?? ? Thats crazy, you're so talented !! ! smomLUL
This video is summarized so well it deserves and award
This would have been a great 50+ episode let’s play series back in the day.
17:45 the wah got me😂
3:36 "oh there's a whitch, now we just need a zombie villager" *one proceeds to land* *looks suprized and shrugs*.
21:30 is that a Jojo reference
8:00 true smallant, well said.
btw if anyone is working with a lot of hoppers use composters on top to reduce lag.
REASON: so hoppers try to pull in any item above it in a close range placing chests barrels other hoppers and so on it only has to look through the slots of the container instead of open air but composters only account as one slot and so reduces lag a lot. working with 100+ hoppers this is a game changer especially on servers.
3:25 that shrug 😂
I kept seeing the occasional short from you, thinking "what is that ant doing playing so much Minecraft?"
Something wonderful, turns out. 💚
"Turtles don't fall from outer space. Turtles only spawn on beaches."
We're learning so much with Smant today!
