Industrial Revolution going on and what

is that in the previous episode a lot of

things went wrong you see we have a

border AKA wall around our land for a

reason no one is allowed to enter each

other's property but someone did enter

my property and that triggered a TNT

explosive on craner's house long story

short you should watch the video exactly

what happened but I got so upset that I

set off a TNT cannon which um didn't

exactly work I I think it worked like

once or twice and and and then I created

a giant hole in my land you see I'm

starting to realize something I thought

we could all be friends on Squid Island

but clearly not I built a pyramid and

house inside of a tree I did fill the

leaves with water so it would be at

least a little bit more fireproof but

the amount of times that my Forest has

been set on fire is just ridiculous look

there's a piece missing there there's

literally nothing here I want jelly land

to be a land that looks br prosperous

and clean and civilized and that's why

we're getting rid of the trees I have to

do

it I have to do it I don't want to do it

but I have to do it the trees are going

to have to go you see they've created

way too much chaos slogo and Craner

realized that they can just use the

trees Against Me by setting them on fire

constantly so I'll do it myself then

I'll just remove him also I need to make

sure my pet beanie is

safe Beanie beanie how did did you get

stuck there that is the dumbest thing

I've ever seen all right we got to move

the bee we got to move the bee come with

me are my trees on fire oh yeah they are

very much on fire uh how do I put this

God I see this Spencer in there bro what

is that what's inside of that okay I'm

not entering his line all right this is

not this is not

entering what he's got explosives aimed

at me are you kidding me perfect reason

for my trees to go I can't have

something like this man slogo is

planning something super

evil why am I friends with these people

why I'm hungry okay I need bread this

s's going to go as well everything's

going to go everything that fire charge

can blow up it's GNA go obviously I'm

rebuilding my house originally I was

thinking maybe I should make it out of

stone but now that I saw that I have an

idea okay quickly quickly let's burn

down this forest and then I'll tell you

my idea wa look at this hell has arrived

I'm kind of sad actually can we have a 1

second of silence for jelly

land that was nice you see it actually

works like my pyramid because it's

filled with water doesn't go away it's

it's kind of incredible really all right

here's my plan first of all we are going

to grab some

valuables let's go into a crafting table

make some sticks get a couple of iron

ingots out of those blocks and then make

a bunch of pickaxes boom that's four

iron pickaxes why would I need that many

huh oh my God like it's actually partly

burning down I'm kind of surprised that

this is working I think it's good we're

getting rid of the trees I'm I'm not

going to lie this this this seem like a

big fire hazard didn't it all right

anyway where were we think of a block

that you can't set on fire on Minecraft

is extremely explosive resistant it

starts with an O and ends with cidian

let me know in the comments what you

block you think it is to find this block

we're going to have to go down into a

cave do I have a mine somewhere ah we're

going to use the community

mine and let's also remove these before

something blows up all right squid City

mine here we go all right we have made

it to coordinates zero which means we're

really deep but we got to go even deeper

apparently this is where the mine ends I

actually had no idea now yes I could

have used my diamonds to make a diamond

pickaxe but we are going to be

destroying these pickaxes so I don't

want to waste them that specific block

we're looking for actually it would be

nice to have Diamond Pickaxes now you

know what what I have an idea oh I hear

mobs I hear mobs I hear mobs this is

good this is good this is good oh oh

there's literally a diamond there that's

not what we're looking for though

although I'll take the diamond with me

thank

you thank you for the diamonds thank you

for the diamonds only one seriously

that's kind of poor all right now let's

go look for this block huh oh I see some

light down

here

oh another

Diamond what just

happened this

happen I landed on a creeper dude how

are there this many diamonds here like

what dude there's so many diamonds okay

we found some lava that's good

ooh okay the block is not yet in sight

but I found

this the block I it if you guess it

correctly in the comment section it's

obviously

obsidian now yes I am aware it might be

better to turn these into some Diamond

Pickaxes but don't worry I have an idea

this is not going to take too long for

me anyway but I hope that makes sense

I'll explain it wait one sec first thing

we're going to do is uh check how deep

this lava is okay should only be one or

two blocks good good good good good good

good all right now what we're going to

do here is this is going to be

interesting I have I've never tried this

before but I'm going to get all of this

obsidian without doing anything you see

I brought some tape Josh's got a little

Auto Factory thing going on well I've

got tape good all tape what we're going

to do with this piece of tape is we're

going to grab my mouse all right we're

going to look at the obsidian this is

the dumbest thing ever do you need a

diamond pickaxe for I I need to Google

that can you mine obsidian with an iron

pickaxe it can only be collected with a

diamond pickaxe ah do I have any wood

with me ah all right I'll be right back

okay we're back where were we I got

Diamond Pickaxes we're going to grab our

piece of tape and I'm just going to

stick it right there look look I'm not

doing anything look I'm going put my

mouse down aiming in the right direction

and I'm manree but jelly you got to move

forwards too well yeah I know I know I

got more tape and this one this one

we're going to stick on the W just like

that now it's holding

W ever mining obsidian and what I'm

going to do now is grab a cup of tea all

right be right back okay

uh this was a little bit more difficult

than it looks I had to add a little

water fountain to make me like push into

the blocks more I I don't know what I'm

doing really I could have also just used

Stone couldn't I have whatever we're

going back up I've got some obsidian my

house is literally Still Standing it it

looks so disgustingly ugly I am aware

now you might be like jelly well what's

your house going to look like or you

might be like jelly is it going to be

another

[Laughter]

pyramid guys come come on all my houses

except for my tree house when I ran off

have been pyramids okay I need to

rebuild but this time it should be the

strongest building that anybody's ever

seen it should be so strong in fact that

no fire charge or TNT can blow it up I

know someone that doesn't like that idea

and I think his name is slogo we just

got to find a good location to put this

pyramid all right Beanie is still safe

that's good this is going to be covered

up I don't know how to get rid of that

ugly dirt like it's cool when the trees

are standing but now it's ugly I guess I

could just right click it all you know

just like that that would I guess be the

easiest solution huh how about that

we're going to remove this layer of dirt

and this is where our new house is going

to be yeah house all right so let's be

realistic here right the floor is

obviously going to have to be out of

obsidian as well although I don't have

enough obsidian for that we're going to

have to go back for some more but let's

start with a pyramid woo oh my God this

is going to be epic big guys 13 14 15

all right we can start with that

actually let's make a

17 I hope that's a oh

no oh God I'm really bad at this game

this is going to take me literally a

minute this is why you don't build

things out of obsidian all right let's

do that again 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6

7 8 9 10 that should be the shape okay

is this correct then is that a good

shape is it a little small I want it to

be bigger you know but don't worry I

have an idea for that later I think it's

good I think it's good next layer oh God

are we literally going to run out again

or I mean already that's all we had oh I

guess I need to make another cup of tea

okay I came up with a better

idea we're going to get lava yep a ble n

p the why why did not think of this at

the start there we are oh my God we're

literally at the same spot our or

or old portal used to be all right and

there's a bunch of lava we're just going

to fill my inventory aren't we all right

look at that free

lava ow

woohoo ah why did one get thrown into

the oh my God hey stop it you and you

see we're not going to break obsidian

blocks to then put them down again in my

floor no we're going to do something

else here guys this is much smarter ah

why am I dying hey stop it that

literally took about a minute you know

how long it would have taken to mine

that there we are and that is how you

create an obsidian

floor all right let's go back to the

nether get some more lava

buckets yeah oh oh okay it's easy to

find out when your inventory is full huh

a lava bucket always flies in our last

bit of the floor wee

oh my God this is amazing all right I've

also built almost the entire pyramid I'm

not going to show you what it looks like

yet but it's looking really dark in here

so I do want to make sure I have some

carpets maybe we should add some

glowstone as well that's really easy to

find in the nether but let's just

continue on our little pyramid the last

blocks

woo oh yeah we could keep this one open

remember what I did last time time we

could do something like that again no

we're not we're not I I have a different

idea

who oh my God all right I need to do

some Landscaping but that looks sick

that is very dark I feel like you can

barely see it's here it's not the

biggest pyramid I've ever built but if

we were going to build big pyramids then

uh I wouldn't make it out of obsidian a

difficult resource to get one of the

last things I want to do to my

pyramid is is make a little lava stream

cover it up with a piece of glow stone

remove this one and then when we wait

with the lava to flow down it's going to

look epic

wow okay I'm really happy with that um

what I don't really like is the messy

grass entrances and stuff but okay this

is epic no one's blowing this up I've

also worked on our inside a little bit

W yeah not too bad B huh oh wait now I'm

now I'm stuck I'm going to continue

working on this little pyramid and by

the next time you see it it's going to

look even more epic leave a like so I

can become the strongest player on Squid

Island thanks for watching
