🔥 War Preparations on Squid Island

The narrator, Jelly, returns to his Minecraft series set on Squid Island, which was once a peaceful place but is now in turmoil due to his world being set on fire by Craner. The series used to revolve around Jelly and his friends Crater and Slogo living harmoniously on the island, but after Jelly's assassination as mayor, the land has been divided into three parts. Each character now occupies a separate area: Slogo is building an iron skyscraper, while Jelly has taken to water-filled pyramid to protect his property from the fire. Jelly's pet beanie is mentioned as working hard to earn money. With the land divided and rules no longer in place, Jelly decides to prepare for war, gathering resources like water buckets and TNT to retaliate against his former friends. He plans to set up a contraption to ensure that any intrusion into his territory will be met with consequences, including death, and begins digging tunnels to connect his land with that of Slogo and Craner, using redstone and pressure plates to trigger traps.

⚒️ Constructing a Redstone Trap

Jelly continues his efforts to secure his land by constructing a complex redstone trap. He encounters difficulties in digging tunnels to Slogo and Craner's properties, navigating through various obstacles such as water, sand, and existing structures. Despite the challenges, he manages to lay redstone lines and sets up pressure plates that, when stepped on, will trigger a series of connected TNT explosives. The process is fraught with mishaps and mistakes, such as incorrect redstone connections and accidental detonations. Jelly also reminisces about the past, finding remnants of old infrastructure like canals and hidden paths. His determination to create a secure boundary is evident as he works to finalize the trap, ensuring that any unauthorized entry will result in significant damage to the intruders' properties.

🎯 Building a TNT Cannon for Defense

In the final paragraph, Jelly shifts his focus to building a TNT cannon as a part of his defense strategy. He plans to use the cannon to attack Slogo's skyscraper, which is in the early stages of construction. After several failed attempts and mishaps, including incorrect redstone connections and over-shooting the target, Jelly finally manages to successfully test the cannon. He celebrates the successful launch and begins to strategize on how to conceal the cannon and load it with TNT for future use. He considers various methods to camouflage the cannon, such as covering it with leaves or other blocks, to ensure it remains undetected until needed. The paragraph concludes with Jelly reflecting on his successful defense setup and the hope that his land will remain intact upon his next login.

Transcripts

ladies and gentlemen welcome back to

what used to be the greatest Minecraft

series in the world this is Squid Island

and I say used to be because my world is

literally on fire still today I'm

preparing for war Craner has literally

set my Forest land on fire and it is

still burning in case you forgot what

Squid Island is all about this is a

series where crater slogo and I used to

be good friends we live together on an

island called Squid Island where we used

to have rules laws and

order when I was the mayor until I got

assassinated now our land is separated

in three separate parts but it's not

working SLO lives over here he is

working on what seems to be an iron

skyscraper he's gotten very far and

crater

skyscraper is visible from my pyramid

yes I put water inside of my pyramid

because otherwise my pyramid would also

burn down my pet beanie is working

really hard so I have some money he's

doing a great job he's actually sleeping

right now I got to make sure my stuff

doesn't burn down I got to keep an eye

on this fire today I've prepared a ton

of things if you look inside of this

chest uh we've got a water bucket I can

use and if you look inside of this chest

we've got

TNT that is going to be good today I'm

working on a Contraption to make sure

crater and slogo get revenge that they

deserve now here is what we're going to

do you see our land is separated by

walls but there's no point to have these

walls if we keep on intruding into each

other's land so we are going to have to

put down some signs and these signs are

going to State actual laws that I'm

going to come up with right now that's

right I can come up with laws I'm the

ruler of my own land you may only access

jelly Land by carrying written notice

signed by jelly if you unrightfully

enter jelly land consequences include

death that's right this is the only door

you can use to enter my property

obviously they could build over the wall

but that would be against the rules as

well we got walls for a reason right now

you might be wondering jelly well how

are you going to make sure that they

care about this well that's where TNT

comes into place you see I've got a ton

of TNT all right and I've also got

pressure plates here's what we're going

to do these pressure plates are going to

be connected with redstone dust yeah to

slogo and Craner land that's right this

is the only way I can do it so let's

quickly just start by digging into

tunnel shall we does it work if I place

the Redstone there let's have a quick

look that works perfect that works great

awesome all right so now we just got to

dig a tunnel all the way to slowo

property and Creator's property I

realized there is a bug when it comes to

this or a flaw and that flaw is that I

don't know who actually enters my

property but do I care no both of them

deserve death Place their Redstone

everywhere place the Redstone everywhere

obviously I know that this is not how

Redstone Works we're going to need some

of those Conn connection points to make

sure it's all uh you know flowing the

way you want it to flow okay that looks

good to me uh I don't actually know

where I ended up right now I think this

right here is the Border you can see the

wool but I think I got to continue a

little bit further let's start digging

up shall we oh where are we okay we're

uh we're definitely a little bit oh wait

wait wait I see something oh wait that's

a part of slogo skyscraper that's good I

got to make sure he doesn't find this

though that would be kind of

embarrassing let's have a quick look

perfect it's like almost in the middle

already so all we got to do is connect

it goes up here and then I'm guessing

right over here is where all the TNT

will be which I'm not going to place

just yet okay I'm first going to

excavate a little bit and make sure the

Redstone actually works all right so

that's the Redstone line towards slowo

property again I know I still have to

add those connection points I will do

that trust me but first we're going to

dig our way towards Craner property yeah

how is it green here that doesn't make

any sense also I might have have to

fence this area in to make sure no mobs

go here all right so let me have a quick

look so the pressure plates are there

there is a m here which we have to avoid

there's water here which we have to

avoid it is much more difficult to get

the Craner land uh there's sand there I

can't really dig underneath of that is

all going to fall down maybe we got to

go straight but kind of try to avoid the

mine and then go right towards uh the

skyscraper which already has a hole in

it I'm not sure should we do the

aquarium then I don't want to kill his

pet well I guess the only way uh we can

do this is by starting the

day we are literally like right

underneath of squid Island's path I

really feel bad doing this but again

nothing will happen to Craner and slogo

if they simply don't break any laws it

can't be more clear than that really

okay where are we right now let's have a

look Oo we are at the entrance of Craner

okay that's interesting let's uh block

this up and I guess I guess we got to

continue going forwards we've made it to

craner's uh house but this was really

really difficult okay so here is where

we ended up in front of his little shed

or he calls it his crib you see his

skyscraper is already blown up and I

don't want to hurt his fish but that's

also no point cuz it's covered in water

so the only damage that I could possibly

do is over here next to his crib let's

connect the Redstone oh oh wait I got to

make sure that that's covered up I'm

like finding all kinds of like traces

from the good old days you know I also

found the uh the old Canal system which

I now covered up which was a mess all

right we are almost back then I just got

to get those connection points in place

woo look at that okay so what I find

very important is to make sure that no

Mobs Can accidentally set off our

beautifully designed trap I mean it's

kind of a trap isn't it all right the

next thing I got to do is quickly create

uh those repeaters how did that work

again I think it's like this no wait NOP

not not real Stone it's Cobblestone wait

what how did I do it again ah re

repeater it is Stone oh I'm going to

need a lot more than just three are you

kidding me okay connecting connecting

connecting it all I don't know the exact

length but I'm just like making it as

close as possible got six left I think

I'm too scared to test this though so I

think I think this will do though will

that do is that close enough I think

that'll do all right now I just got to

not accidentally set this off why am I

doing this to

myself this is a really bad idea isn't

it maybe if I have more gunpowder which

I don't actually know right now I will

put more TNT down but for now oo I'm

scared for now this will do I think our

first trap is in place we got another

one on my mind okay now let's not stand

on those pressure plates please now we

still have some TNT left for the next

trap I would really like some more

spruce trees but they're all like

burning down down okay the fire it looks

like it has stopped this tree could have

been useful oh maybe that one right

there would be good to use all right

let's go up using a uh just water you

know water elevator come on I'm a pro

bro I'm a pro I'm basically a pro all

right so now that we're up here we are

going to be uh creating a cannon you see

this is perfectly placed to attack his

skyscraper although maybe I should test

the cannon first I I'll I'll remove some

of the that TNT uh let's dig into this

tree and start with with placing a

dispenser at the bottom right in front

of me another one right there we're

going to remove this no we're going to

remove this one yeah but we will replace

the ones on the side let's see this is

harder than it looks like that oh that

looks good then right in front I believe

a pressure plate will do it we're going

to put

water obviously I'm going to have to

cover up this cannon but yes I will do

that and then right next to these three

dispensers we're going to be placing

some redstone dust and I also need a

button right there okay so the moment I

put TNT in this thing it's activated

here's what we're going to do we're

going to remove some of the TNT out of

Solo's uh basement and we're going to

test this cannon okay let's go uh am I

going to

die okay I didn't die all right so where

is it exactly oh my goodness I believe I

placed six of them that's good that's

really good okay just in case we'll

remove some of this as well all right

now let's give this a try then shall we

all right let's arm the cannon I'm not

sure if that one needs to shoot forward

or down but we'll figure it out let's

arm the

cannon all right all of them have one

TNT and then all we got to do press the

button here we go TNT cannon

baby

uh-oh um why did that not work that was

supposed to work come on man why did I

also try it in a tree that feel that

feels really dumb now oh my God we're

going to have to fix all of this mess

and we're going to have to build a new

one it should have shot forward I've

I've done this before all right luckily

not everything is gone let's pick up the

water fix the damage and try this again

all right I think I figured it out I

forgot to put a redstone torch down ah

click the

button

no not again why is there a giant hole

here there's also a giant hole there I

am not good at this this is going to be

my

uh my last try attempting

this this is horrible why am I so bad at

this game Redstone there now the

redstone torch there no there yes okay

so now everything's activated correctly

the water okay good and now the button

okay good so now if I put t TNT in

hopefully we won't blow up in this tree

which I'm going to like actually cover

up now cuz this should work hopefully

this tree stays standing here goes

nothing wait no actually I got got to

put the T TNT in right I'm literally

running out of TNT if this doesn't work

I might as well just blow my own house

up here goes nothing fire in the hole

come on come on yes

yes

who

W it worked it worked it worked it

worked I slightly overshot uh the the

skyscraper but think of this the

skyscraper isn't a skyscraper yet he

hasn't worked on it it's working we got

a TNT cannon woo all right we got to

load this baby up and cover it up

remember the only way I can access it is

by putting a ladder back here to click

the button you know what that doesn't

look all that bad now does it I don't

know if he's going to notice it but the

can in his arm I could also cover it up

with two Leaf blocks that that I remove

right before firing I think that might

be a decent strategy let's put some of

the TNT bag sorry slogo it's still going

to happen it's armed cover it up oh

beautiful uh we probably need to cover

this up as well don't we this didn't

happen slowo this didn't happen now I

kind of want to aim one at Craner as

well however uh I think he lives a

little far away and I already blew up a

part of his skyscraper even though it

looks like it's still standing but trust

me there's a giant hole in the bottom of

it so I think I need to leave that I

still have that hole there I kind of

want to cover that up let's just do our

final detail and the final detail is to

uh put leaves in front of the cannon

that I have to remove I think that makes

a lot of sense cuz if I don't do that

well boom goes here and then we say bye

to the tree for the fifth time woo I did

it my base has been defended let's clean

it up over here and hopefully by the

next time I log on a squid Island

everything on my land still

stands
