Minecraft :: Part 75 :: Building A Cabin 101

(music)

How's it going everyone.

Welcome back to The Minecraft, lets play

My name of course is SystemZee

and today we are gonna start work on

the new project

that's right, the Cabin in the Woods

I'm extremely excited because we've got a

very, very cool location picked out

I'm gonna go ahead and, uh

run up these little steps here

these little pathways so we can wa..

What's up dog? (laughs)

Yo what up dog?

And we're gonna jump right off here and

I'm gonna show you guys what we're doing

So welcome to a mega Tiaga Biome

We are very far away from the Mesa Biome

So, no going back to that for a while

um, but we are here in the new area.

So this is where we are going to be

building the Cabin in the Woods

that I was talking about last episode

Now all of this, I did record me building

but I deleted the footage

I deleted the footage, and it looks great

and I'm very sad

but we're not gonna sit here and

you know, think about what could have been

We're gonna talk about what will be.

We're gonna be building an awesome cabin

A survival cabin here, right in this spot

and it's gonna be a, ya know

a moderately sized one

but what's really important is the

decoration around it

it's gonna be really cool

And this is gonna be a redstone kind of

heavy cabin I hope

at least with farming

cause the main idea is to get more

firewords from this whole area

because creepers are better in forest

and you know, that kind of stuff

Um, but this is gonna be a really

really cool project

I'm very excited

So this is where our architects

house is gonna be

this is where we're gonna live

for the next few episodes

So let me give you guys a little tour

So we're gonna walk around here

and before we get to the landscaping

I'm gonna show you guys something

cool that you might wanna do

if you're doing something similar

So, this is our house, right

very, very small

not a lot of storage going on, right

how are we gonna store all of our

blocks for this project?

Well, thanks to the Shulker boxes

or the backpacks, in our case

we can store them all in categories

in a shulker box

and I love that

that system is gonna be great

little bit of extra work to get something

simple like wood, um,

but it's just gonna allow us to store

a lot more, but it's very expensive

I think after this episode I'm probably

gonna spend some time to, uh,

go farm some Shulker shells

that would be great

uh, but then we've got two furnaces

one there, and one there

of course a bed, and then

our basic stuff here

And I'm just very excited

I think this is gonna be cool

So, that's the cabin

What's up again, Dog? (laughs)

Oh, he looked at me

that was perfect

So, my favorite part about this

is the landscaping, cause if I jump

off here, I instantly can fly up

and you guys know I had trouble using

the Elytra in the Mesa, cause it

was so flat, but now we've got

these little cliffs, and those are

custom, by the way.

They weren't there in the first place

um, but what's cool is, you know

walking out the door you've got a nice

little cliff. And when you follow

the pathway you've got a nice

little ditch, where we've got our farm

And it gives off a very, like, good vibe

of being in the woods

and I love that, uh, but yeah

we've got another cliff here

also man made, and then this river

is man made. I'm gonna be working on that

on our livestream soon I think

but yeah, just showing you

we've got some cool stuff

Oh, and of course custom trees

can't forget about those (laughs)

This has all been done in survival

it's been, I've worked on this place now

for about two hours and I think

It's looking really, really good

So I'm very excited to see what we can do

with the actual project, which we're gonna

start today, so let's go ahead

and without further ado, clear up

this area so we can start laying down the

foundation and building this cabin.

(Music)

All right, we are all ready and set to go

I've got most of the resources we're gonna

I've got most of the resources we're gonna

need today, so now pretty much

we just gotta fly over there

and as you can see it's very lacking

in the tree department (laughs)

but that's just fine, because what I'm

gonna do is cut down all of the trees

that kind of surround the entire build

and build those trees instead

not necessarily cut them down

but just kind of edit them

It's a pretty hard process, so you're

never really gonna see it on camera

but I do have a tutorial for building

these trees on my channel, uh

I may link that in the description below

just depending on if I remember

but, yeah, we're gonna pretty much

have those as well as a mixture

of these all around the build

uh, so I'm not really worried about

the emptiness for now (laughs)

uh, but, lets go ahead and kinda

clean up some of these because

we don't really need them here

now, today's video, or episode

in particular is gonna be very

weird in terms of building

uh, we're not really gonna be

doing a huge part of it, but kind of

starting a huge part of it. It's something

that I'm kind of envisioning

and it's nowhere near even the

start of the entire build it's,

it's kind of off to the side (laughs)

but it's really what I think is gonna make

this area look cool, uh, but we're

gonna start here, and you can kind of see

I've laid everything out, so lets go ahead

and come over here, and just kind of

set up shop. So, everytime I go

building, I always make sure to bring

a crafting table and a furnace.

The furnace is kind of unncessary

but, you know, I always just kind of

bring that. I didn't bring the bed

this time like I should have, but that's

just fine. Alright, so we're gonna start

by getting some Oak wood, and we're gonna

build a huge amount of towers,

up, essentially, uh and then we've also

gotta come out five blocks from these

edges, I believe that's five. Yep.

And place blocks there as well

so one, two, three, four, five

and then do one there

now these gonna kinda tower up

on both sides, and then it's gonna have

a waterfall in the middle.

And that's kind of the main design

and I'm gonna love it (laughs)

you guys should too, it's gonna be

really cool, it's gonna be an interesting

landscaping project, I know that

Okay, so uh, we need to build these up

by five, so one, two, three, four, five

and we need to do one more

and do a diagonal block across

that's not diagonal, just uh, what is it

vertical? No, that's horizontal right?

Yeah, horizontal. And just kind of carry

that along the entire framework, here.

(Music) Ahh, we just had barely enough

or we didn't have enough, basically

AHH, that sucks. We can just come over

here and grab these though, but I was

really hoping. Uh, but we're gonna go

ahead and these extra little arms on

each side. Uh, only the front facing

ones though, because I don't want

this area to look too crowded in.

I think it would just kinda look

a little weird, uh, if we did that.

So, hmm (laughs) how are we gonna do

this now. I guess we are gonna have to use

some dirt to kinda climb up here.

And then we'll just kinda chop it down and

continue from there but we're gonna build

up and then we're just gonna connect those

connect those out, just like that.

So now we've got a general foundation

uh, or, I guess framework of the area

we're working with, so we're really gonna

just be working on this part of the cabin

today, and then I'm gonna try and add in

a little bit of landscaping before we end

out the episode, just so you guys can see

exactly what I'm working with here

uh, in my mind. (laughs)

But let's go ahead and grab some

necessary materials. Umm, actually, hmm

we're gonna just start by building

the facade on this particular wall.

I think that'll be the easiest thing to do

so, let's go ahead and grab some dirt,

so that way we can have just the general

block to, you know, build up with

and we're just gonna build it

to about there. Now, of course

this needs to come out as well, but

we're not gonna worry about that for now

(clears throat) So, these need to go up,

let's see, one, two three, four, five, six

and then on the second from the top block

we're gonna do that. It's gonna be very

similar to the cabin, which you can't even

see because it's blocked off, uh, so

that's kinda, ya know, the idea here.

It's gonna be very similar, so you guys

have already seen this design, um

that needs to go up one more, I bet

Yup, okay (laughs)

Yeah, but you guys have already seen

this design, so it's nothing necessarily

special, but once we get kinda

further into it, it's gonna be

really, really cool.

So, now we're done with that.

Let's just grab some Spruce wood

stairs and Spruce wood, and this

is kind of one of the cooler ideas

of what we're gonna do. Uh, so

what I have an idea for, is to

kind of create this balcony looking

thing, uh, out of this.

Let's go ahead and get these

torches out of here.

And just get some Spruce wood slabs,

and just kinda carry them, you know,

out like this. And then we're gonna do

something very interesting

on the top here.

So let me get that dirt again.

I'm all messy already.

I think I already had the dirt, I just,

no, I don't have the dirt (laughs)

I don't know where things are going

Uh, but we're gonna come up here

and do something kind of interesting

so, we're gonna use a stair there

except it's gonna face out, which I

probably can't do, unless we do that.

And then we're gonna do the same thing

inwards, but it's gonna kind of carry

across, like that. That I'm not even

gonna try cause I know I'd have to

break it. (laughs) So just like that,

and then the rest of these will just

go up like normal blocks.

Now, the level that the floor is gonna

be on, is going to be where

those stairs are. So it's kind of

an odd design, but what I like about it,

and let's see if we can't kind of

get far enough to where you guys can

get a good idea here.

Let's just crash into this tree (laughs)

So the idea is that it just looks like

it's really, really supported and then in

the end you're gonna be able to see

under it a little bit, and I think that

will look really cool.

Um, I don't know what's going on,

I'm getting a little but of lag,

hopefully it doesn't get too bad though

(laughs) I think for now we can kind of

put up with it, uh but now we've basically

gotta fill this in, and I wanna

make sure that that is correct, in terms

of size, so one, two, three, yeah

it seems like its good.

Oh no! It's already getting dark,

so let's try and quickly fill this in

at least try and get up here first.

I need to just create a stairway, I think

that would probably be the easiest

thing to do. There we go.

Alright, so what we're gonna do is just

fill it all in, and then we're gonna carve

out everything we need for the particular

uh, face. So we're gonna do that

and then just carry it up like a stairway

design, all the way up, until we meet

a point. So, just like that.

And then crash into the water (laughs)

So now we've got the general facade going,

now we've basically just gotta decorate it

as well as throw on the roof.

Uh, but I'm gonna go ahead and sleep,

and then we'll go ahead and

throw that roof on.

Oh man, I wonder if we're gonna

be able to land right on the block,

like we need to (Ugh)

oh crap, we're not (laughs)

I'm gonna have to go up and slowly

like fall down onto it, cause I don't

wanna have to build anything up

to get to it, but man, I love flying

around this area. It's so freaking cool.

And, come on (ugh) we did it.

Holy crap (laughs) that was cool.

Alright, so now we can, uh, kinda

get continuing here. So we're just gonna

do the same exact design we've been doing

for the particular roofs, uh just kind of

carrying up, you know, the square

shape, and then just doing that up there

kind of, doing the same thing all

the way across. Now, the easiest way

to do it, is to start with the

bottom blocks because then you can

easily just build on it.

That way you don't have to go under it.

And I think that just saves some time, so

we're gonna do that, and then we're gonna

put a half slab there, but I don't

have any right now.

So now, uh, I kind of want to bring it out

a little bit more, as well. Just so we

have a little bit of the roof showing

and then on my own time, I'll go

and kind of fill this all in.

The roof is gonna be the most

boring part, until we add stuff

like windows coming out and all that

Which I honestly don't even have

planned yet, so that might be a while.

Alright, so that kind of shows that

we've got the general roof design

we just need to add the point on

which I'll do here in a little bit.

Now, we need to get to decorating.

So, we're gonna get a few items here.

The first thing we're gonna do is make

some stairs, out of the...

What am I doing? That's not (laughs)

that's not how you do it

we're just gonna make some stairs

out of Oak wood, and then we're gonna

make some half slabs, which I also

don't have enough for. There we go.

All the way across, and Boom.

Next, we're going to get some glass,

and then grass.

And, throw these fireworks away for now.

Alright, this is gonna be very different

(laughs) and I'd like to, uh, build

just a general building platform

I think that might be the easiest thing

and then we'll kinda build a

stairway up from there, I think

that's probably gonna be the most

efficient way to do this, that way if we

do fall down, we're able to get back up.

Okay, so, we're gonna build a window here

and then a window here

and it's gonna be the same design on

the other ones, so I'll literally just

basically copy it from there.

And then we're gonna carry a line of grass

all the way across the bottom, and we're

gonna throw these stairs and

the half slabs on the bottom.

Now, I really should have brought the, uh,

the trap doors because I did need them

uh, but we can of course just jump down

cause we prepared for that.

First thing we're gonna do is throw a trap

door right on the top of the windows

I kind of like it because it creates like

a little seal and you can shut it

if you want, it's kind of cool.

Nope, give me that back.

And we can close these in and just

kind of place them all the way across.

We're gonna have one extra, so now

if we kind of back away here you can

kinda see here it's getting a little

decorated now, it's getting a little

bit on there.

Now, we're gonna grab that particular

block, and then these ladders

and we're gonna kind of, uh,

dress the window up. So with the

ladders we're just gonna basically

do, like, some shutter designs

just by doing that

and then on the sides here, we're

gonna add some support beams using the

uh, the gates because I think it

looks good, I think it hold it up well and

it's just an interesting design (laughs)

Uh, so now all we really would have to add

is the side, or the little grass and

leaves there and the flowers, but

I don't have any of those on me

at the moment, so we're not

gonna do that quite yet.

But let's kind of get a design here, uh

or back up and get a view, rather

not a design. (laughs)

Yeah, so it's looking very bland

at the moment, so what

we're gonna do to fix that

is kinda carve it in

with some stairs.

I'm gonna go ahead and do that

and then I'll show you the

the design after. (firework whooshing)

Alright, and just add on the point

and we should be good to go

So, let's go ahead and get our

fireworks out, and go ahead and

prepare to get a good view.

I'm very excited to show you guys

what it should look like

Ohh, let's go ahead and turn around

don't get a, ya know, preview glimpse

just yet, let's crash-land into this tree

and make it kind of a good reveal here

so, I'm just gonna kinda slowly zoom

up here, and there it is.

Oh man! That looks good.

You know what, let's get a lower

shot though, I think if we, uh

come down here and not die (laughs)

yeah, that's looking really good

and once we have it, you know

really detailed and we've got a lot

of leaves kind of surrounding it

and then a stone, you know,

foundation on the bottom,

then a waterfall. I think it'll look

really, really cool
