Full Transcript
Hello. Welcome to today’s video. It’s Mr Wibble here and today I’m taking on a lucky block house building challenge.
OK, so today someone has challenged me to a lucky block house building challenge. The idea is I have to build a house in 20 minutes using only what items are given to me from lucky blocks. If you’re not familiar this is a mod that gives you these special blocks and when you break them they give you completely random items they can be very good, very very bad, or somewhere in between.
So I’ve created this little world in creative mode, um I just need to switch back to survival so that I can actually break these blocks and then I will set a timer and we’ll get started. So game mode survival.
Right so to make things a little bit easier on myself I’ve given myself a bed so I can sleep through the night I’ve got a bit of food and some weapons and a little bit of armour. So, this is the first lucky block. Before we do that one I’m just going to set a 20 minute timer. Here we go. Wish me luck!
Oh, a chest. Let’s see what’s in here. OK, not sure I can make much useful out of this, although the chest itself might be quite good. I’ll need some furniture. OK, you might be wondering where the rest of the lucky blocks are. Well I used another mod called “world edit” to replace all the cobblestone on this little island with lucky blocks. So they are here trust me. I just need to dig for them.
They’re here somewhere. OK, there’s one. Now, I like to be as far away as I possibly can because one of the things they drop can be things like anvils which fall from the sky onto your head. So it’ll be a very short video if that happens and I’m a bit too close.
What was that? That has given me oh a diamond block. OK uh that’s good uh OK uh I’m going to dig a big area here. Right, OK, let’s see what’s in this one. What the hell?!? A tower of… err… a tower of pigs! With a villager on top. OK, that’s not something you see every day. I can’t build much with that. OK, let’s go to the next one. Too far away. I see fire or something. Worried about getting too close. Oh, is that a beacon? OK, that could be useful. What next? Diamond boots. Tropical fish. Jack-o’-Lanterns! OK, uh, they could be good for decoration. Uh, hero villager.
Oh hello! Well I could… wow… they’re really useful. So if I was playing a proper survival game he’d be a very welcome thing. Have I just killed him? Sorry mate. OK, pumpkins. Got those. Oh, a gold block. Right, I’ll have that. and Sorry mate but you might be in a really bad place there.
Ah, loads of food. Alright, that’s not much good to me. Uh, bedrock. Well that’s your problem. A chest, that I can’t open. OK, finally something potentially useful and I’m going to tell you what I’m going to ditch a load of stuff in the chest and do a quick little time check.
Where’s my bed? I put a bed somewhere didn’t I? The villager’s sleeping in it. OK, let’s I can’t sleep yet. Put down this chest. Press the right button. There we go and let’s get rid of some stuff we don’t want. I don’t want that. OK, time. Uh, six minutes has gone already you are kidding me. I don’t have very high hopes for this house it’s probably going to be terrible.
Right, where did I start digging? Uh, here we go. I’ll get that chest because that’ll be useful. And all stuff in it. OK, we need some more building type stuff. What was that? Uh, I don’t even know what they are. They were paintings! Alright, yeah good. Come on, I’m getting impatient now. Uh, witch. Not so great. What is going on here? Right, how am I going to get rid of her? This could be a very, very short challenge. Thank you.
Right. Spider’s webs. I could potentially use those. OK, I’m gonna really need to hurry things up here. Oh my God what’s this? Oh man! Well, that didn’t really go to plan. And a big lag spike there. Thank you. Oh, you are having a laugh.
Right OK. There’s all my stuff. Any more stuff there? I’ve got my weapons back. OK, good. I think we can say that was definitely an unlucky one. Right, time check. OK, err, eight minutes have gone I think. Oh, what? And, I bet all my… oh why am I getting a big black spike after I… Hi piggies. Why am I getting a big lag spike? All my stuff’s been burnt. Oh, wow.
Um, well I don’t know what that is. I don’t think I can really use that right dig somewhere else. Go away. I don’t have any diamonds to trade with you. Not enough anyway. What have we got there? A load of food. OK. A diamond block, but I have no pickaxe. Nothing useful, really. Woah I tell you what I could start my house here. Does that count? I think that counts.
What the hell is going on? What is this? Ah, what is that? Right, OK. OK. Right. OK, come here you. At least I can defend myself, a bit. Oh an enchanting table and what’s this going to give me? OK, a load of XP. Not really very useful right now, but thanks anyway. All right, err… eight and a half minutes left.
One more diamond. How about many diamonds did i get? 22, right where’s that trader? Come here. Oh no no, come here. Here. Err… if I get.. hh I thought we had a pickaxe. He doesn’t. Right, OK, that’s not much use. I can’t even make a crafting table. No idea what that is. Doesn’t look very interesting. What was that?
This is going really well. OK, I’ve got a log. Right, so i can make some planks which means I can make a crafting table. Yeah? OK, good. Right. So… I’m going to put this well away over here. Six and a half minutes left. OK. I’ve got diamond that I can’t get to. That’s really irritating. Right, let’s just go for it.
You are having a laugh. How am I supposed to get out of here? I don’t understand how to get out. That’s really nasty. I’m trying to crouch. I’m trying to swim. Woah! Not quite in time. OK. OK, some armour. That’ll be better than nothing. OK, one of these again. This is crazy. Are these lucky… lucky potions? Lucky potion plus 100. Right, I’ll have some of that. A load of XP. A load of books. A load of armour.
Oh, an anvil. OK. Not much I can actually build anything with though. Some rabbits. This has to be one of the funniest but also the best mods ever. At this rate i’m going to have a dirt house. But, strictly speaking the lucky blocks didn’t give me that did they? Right, four minutes. Come on. Wasting time here. I’ve got four minutes left. Pumpkin pie and more diamond and a chicken.
OK, I guess I can make diamond blocks. I’ve got gold blocks if I could only mine them. I don’t even have enough sticks to make a pickaxe. Right, yeah. Come on. Unlucky squid. OK. Oh bookshelves. OK yeah cold use those. What are they? Uncraftable potions. Not a clue what they do. Right. Oh my God. Rainbow sheep.
OK. A well. A diamond block I can’t mine. And I’ve just lost everything again. So I’ve got two minutes left to build a house. Out of… let’s go and have a look… Out of, uh, well nothing basically. What have i got over here? Did I get any items? What’s over here? Have I got actually anything at all? No.
OK, yeah. Tower of pigs. Really helpful. Emerald block. Nice. Lucky potion. What did that give us? Food. Watermelon. I can’t build anything with any of this. Right, dirt. I can make a house out of pumpkins, right? That’s not cheating. OK, what constitutes a house? I think it’s just something with a bed and four walls yeah?
Time, 42 seconds. OK. Alright, let’s just go for it. Let’s go crazy. Obsidian there we go. I can build something with that. Oh, time’s running out. Stop. OK, 20 seconds, 20 minutes rather, is up. Here’s my amazing house which I’ve just realised I can’t get into.
Alright, I think we’ll uh, we’ll uh, we’ll consider that a failed challenge and just for the hell of it let’s uh let’s see what more of these would have given us. OK yeah hi. OK. Alright, I’ve got a sword. I can throw potatoes at him.
Oh wow. So I think we’ll stop there. I think we can class that as very much a failed challenge. Um, I think what’s happened there is my bed got destroyed so I’ve gone back to the world spawn point. Thanks for watching. If nothing else I hope it’s been fun to see what lucky blocks can do and maybe you’ll like to go and give it a go yourself. Cheers and see you next time.
