There do seem to be certain people on this server who have proven themselves very willing to dedicate absurd amounts of time to mundane tasks like that... not that I'm judging them given in my current project I have spent 8 months *building and leafing custom trees by hand* and still have a third of the project to go. XD
I absolutely adore the editing choices you've made for this! The scene of riding the strider with sweeping visuals & music was great, but what I really love is how it works as a juxtaposition for the later spawn-proofing timelapse. Because we've already been shown the scale and grandeur of the area, slabbing it over becomes this man v. overwhelming nature thing rather than just 'here is several hours of work condensed'. Also love the transition back to spawn with Eloise, which gave an uncanny mood without contributing to/depending on specific story elements. I am so excited that you're able to just play around with editing techniques in this series, because that's already resulting in some really cool stuff :D
Yeah, even though there's no storyline in this series, it's been fun editing these episodes to have a more narrative structure. Feels very different to the information-focused approach of the Survival Guide videos
Hey pix, i had this thought last episode: you should theme each tool grave around something significant that happened in that section of the dig. Last time, for example, it would have been lava themed, of course. Anyways, love the episode! The cinematography and music are awesome
The music for Caves & Cliffs is just amazing and fits the game so well. And I love that you use the music in your videos. There is absolutely nothing wrong with more youthful and joyful content, but I enjoy the more serious and cinematic feel of your videos. Bdubs has been doing something similar for the last year or so, elevating his videos with a more cinematic music and editing. I love that kind of content.
I wanted to have episode 2 out sooner, but I was so focused on getting a beacon for it - so building the farm was part of that journey. Episode 3 should be out early next week!
So, I was thinking about how you mentioned to Fhwip about switching to wither roses after the end is unlocked, but you should be able to make a wither rose farm without the end. A farm in the end killing endermen for wither roses is easier in the long run, but for an idea, Keralis recently made a wither rose farm from another content creator that uses zombie piglins as the fuel source and the farm is in the overworld... You could potentially create a wither rose farm utilizing a zombie spawner for a mob source for the wither roses as an example.
Sure, I could also just hatch a ton of chickens or create snow golems and release them into the area where I plan to fight the Wither. I'm waiting for the End because it involves minimal research, it's convenient, and I don't strictly *need* wither roses for this farm to be as productive as we need in the meantime (since making this video I've fought four more withers and still have six skulls left over.) I just don't bother saying all that in the video
While I enjoy a handful of the creators in this series, your perspective and videos are by far my favorite. The story telling, cinematography, and explanations are perfect. Thank you!
Yeah, both Joey and Shubble joined later in S1 and I didn't find the right moments to hang out with them before we all got swept up in the storyline stuff.
Pix is like an entire package, one of the best players at the game, entertaining, informative and makes such cool cinematics. Like damn how talented can one person be
Pix! The music, the cinematography, your progress on the server... it's insane! I hugely enjoy these episodes. Giving me goosebumps with the intro alone
Pix, i gotta say: as a filmmaker, your cinematography in this is amazing. It looks awesome. If i could give some feedback to take it to the next level: find a shader that really makes lighting cinematic (lots of bright and dark, preferably something that creates a backlight effect, i believe AsianHalfSquat recently made a video about a combination that’s absolutely stunning) so that the lighting, which looks amazing for a video game but kinda flat in film, becomes varied and interesting. Also, do some research into framing and composition of shots. You’ll get a lot more detail and variety, and it’ll help to communicate exactly what you want. Anyways, these’re the most interesting cinematics ive seen in MC YT, so keep up the good work!
It would do, yeah. The warden might be tankier, but the wither is *fast* and has much shorter cooldowns. The wither's ability to fly is just icing on the cake.
Honestly, between Hermicraft and SOS that must be your content that I'm most looking forward to. Quite surprisingly as I'm more into building and aventure content but you do have something special when you do it. I hope we see more of that on your channel, keep up with the excellent work and a big thank you ;)
It's fun watching y'all work together and work on your individual projects. Really different - but ditto on the I love the survival guides a lot too. so you need to keep us both going Pixl!!! Thanks loads. Granny Lee
the intro and music is way to epic for an smp with goofy friends lol ❤ So happy to finally check out Pixelriffs after watching hermitcraft recap for so long now
i know you and fwhip were probably joking around but legitimately selling “wither kits” would be so good because when a customer buys a kit they could or could not buy “insurance.” as well as the one iron block or whatever payment you choose for the insurance they would leave their fate coin so you or fwhip could bring them back incase the wither kills them. if they dont get killed by the wither and have bought the insurance they can keep it for another wither kit use or buy their coin back from yall!
Awesome video. Loved watching you build the wither skeleton farm. Someone actually did a Warden vs every mob on Bedrock and the Warden vs Wither was kind of a tie. The Warden won initially but then the Wither's last explosion took him out.
Pix, you and fwhip are two of my favorite minecraft dudes, and its always a treat when you hang out!! Also, i think youve been covering Hermitcraft too long.... theyre rubbing off on you. A mini perimeter and a crazy first farm is a very hermity thing to do lol. Love to see it!
Slabbing the nether to spawn proof it is such a good idea. I've started just tearing out the terrain wholesale in a 128 radius, roof to floor. I've mined over 800,000 netherrack and 600,000 basalt, which i calculate to be about 1/6 of the entire perimeter, and the burnout is real xD. Should have jus slabbed.
Hey Pix ive been wathing your videos for quite sometime now, your videos always tell a story, (pretty ironic since no lore lol), but man your work is amazing, the SMP, Survival guides, ive watched all your content now. whenever i watch your video i wanna go back to minecraft and re create everything by myself. More power to you brother just keep doing what you do. ❤
Loved the episode Pix! Your editing skills are top notch, this episode was beautiful to watch. And no, no I did not have you and Fwhip fighting 4 withers on my bingo card, nor the first shop being beacons. Beacon Boys!

Wither skellies running around after the golden helmet look so wonderfully goofy.
It looks like I'm giving them the side-eye the entire time LOL
The nether spawn proofing was you guys!? I saw it and couldn't imagine who took that task upon themselves. Well done!
Loved the episode!
Hi Owenge❤
A wood wod!!!!!!!!
Hi owenge!

XD
26:18 Joey’s visceral “WHY?!” is so funny and I cannot describe why.
Pixelriffs always with the top-notch cinematics!! we aren't watching a video about a video game, but instead an actual movie.
Very true my dude!
Indeed
Such gorgeous cinematics! With such lovely music!
You know what, you’re right! Pixl edits are top quality!
Should have named the episode "humpback Wither of Nether Dame"😅
Pixlriffs just casually roaming lava lakes on a strider in hardcore Minecraft.. Absolute madlad 😂
That too near a fortress. 😅
First time I ever got on a strider a ghast took me out in under 30 seconds. I always get cooked within 5 minutes.
14:43 El just casually bringing up Grian's Mending Book Ordeal from Hermitcraft XD
8:12 i actually can’t with joel (and fwhip) in the chat
They're my OTP
@@Pixlriffsdon't let Jimmy hear you say that 😂
I love smp pix. don’t get me wrong, the survival guide is still my favourite, but I feel like you vibe really well interacting with other creators
32:06 the chat being incredulous and scared of you both summoning the wither. Almost as entertaining as watching you kill thw withers.
Lol
fwhip and pix just casually killing 4 withers😂😂😂
wasn't that hard because it's java
hermits have done 100 if i remember right
withers are the easiest boss mob lol
Who needs sleep when you have Pixlriffs content-
Well said
😃😃
Real very real

Now I'm really missing my speakers (they are damaged so I have to use subtitles xD)
31:10 oh wait until you hear about what happened on Secret Life 😂
lolll i was gonna say this
Pixlriffs: The Man, The Myth, The Movie! Great episode. Really enjoying this series.
The Pix and Joey dynamic is so fun-
Who needs lore when you have QUESTS?
Pix and fwip, two of my favourite Minecraft UA-camrs to watch. I'm enjoying SOS.
17:40 is so amazingly syncronized!
Sounds like the seagulls from Finding Nemo
@@JQN_d._.bI was looking for your comment when I heard the coin chant
Hey pix, i had this thought last episode: you should theme each tool grave around something significant that happened in that section of the dig. Last time, for example, it would have been lava themed, of course. Anyways, love the episode! The cinematography and music are awesome
FIRST SHOP????
Those Piglins at 11:37 were paid actors, what an amazing shot! Great video🤩
As Pix tracked the fireball he had a better shot at hitting Katherine in the face than getting return to sender😄
the chat while fwhip and pix were fighting the wither had me cracking up pls jimmy wishing death upon someone so he can use his fate coin 😭😭😭
The music for Caves & Cliffs is just amazing and fits the game so well. And I love that you use the music in your videos.

These need to come out more quickly. I understand the format makes that difficult just really loving this series!!!
I wanted to have episode 2 out sooner, but I was so focused on getting a beacon for it - so building the farm was part of that journey. Episode 3 should be out early next week!

I just don't bother saying all that in the video
Absolute mad lad. Just starting the server, instantly goes for wither skeleton farm. I love it
The cinematic with the lava and shaders felt like Minecraft themselves made it for the nether update!!! So good!
Shelby did fill The Raw Ore completely
While I enjoy a handful of the creators in this series, your perspective and videos are by far my favorite. The story telling, cinematography, and explanations are perfect. Thank you!
Loved your interactions with fWhip, and great editing as always. Always a pleasure watching your videos!
The video quality is just mindblowing. I am enjoying these immensely.
17:39 Pixelriffs and fwip just being like. Fwip - "Coin?" Pixel - "Coin?" Fwip - "coin?" Pixel - "coin?" Fwip - "no coin" Pixel -"oh dang it"
I just realized we had no interaction Pixl-Joey on Empires S1… so this episode made me happy 😊
I mean, outside of big events it is
Yeah, both Joey and Shubble joined later in S1 and I didn't find the right moments to hang out with them before we all got swept up in the storyline stuff.
Casual beacon shop episode 2. Sure. Why not.
Everyone having a rough day til the multiplayer survival guide drops 🗣️
I am absolutely loving Minecraft SOS and all the different pov
Im sure i just watched a short film??? Bro, this is so good! The bit wjth the Strider is my favorite❤
The work behind this 1 must been pain holy damn, i love the shots from the Nether!!
Had me caught lock on!
Oh, I love the lore of this series
Pix is like an entire package, one of the best players at the game, entertaining, informative and makes such cool cinematics. Like damn how talented can one person be
Pix! The music, the cinematography, your progress on the server... it's insane! I hugely enjoy these episodes. Giving me goosebumps with the intro alone
10:15 Aww yeah I love this segment, it’s such a cool epic!
The Wither’s chat messages during Jimmy’s preceding live stream created significant excitement for this episode.
Pix, i gotta say: as a filmmaker, your cinematography in this is amazing. It looks awesome. If i could give some feedback to take it to the next level: find a shader that really makes lighting cinematic (lots of bright and dark, preferably something that creates a backlight effect, i believe AsianHalfSquat recently made a video about a combination that’s absolutely stunning) so that the lighting, which looks amazing for a video game but kinda flat in film, becomes varied and interesting.

Anyways, these’re the most interesting cinematics ive seen in MC YT, so keep up the good work!
I just love the sequence with you making friends with the strider, but they are one of my favorite mobs in the game.
There is no lore in Ba Sing Se. :DDDDD
Wither decimated the Warden in a fight.... I saw it on a live stream during a chaos redeem 😂😂😂
It would do, yeah. The warden might be tankier, but the wither is *fast* and has much shorter cooldowns. The wither's ability to fly is just icing on the cake.
Here to say I loved that strider segment.
I never realized how much players bobble while riding a strider.....Pix bopping around on the strider was so cute!!
First kill sausage gets a skull, compared to skizz who has killed in the hundreds and still hasn’t gotten a skull lol
As much as I enjoy the survival guide, it’s so good to see you back in an SMP!
The montage music goes so hard. Please never stop making those montages and using the type of music you do :)
5:56
Wow those piglins successfullly ambushed you. Smart lads
10:12 That was one heck of a replay mod montage! ~Fade Alchemist~
This was such an impressive and immersive episode. The cinematic genuis that is pixelriffs.
Honestly, between Hermicraft and SOS that must be your content that I'm most looking forward to. Quite surprisingly as I'm more into building and aventure content but you do have something special when you do it. I hope we see more of that on your channel, keep up with the excellent work and a big thank you ;)
I'm equipped with fully enchanted diamond armor, and I'm still terrified of the wither. Well done, I can't wait to see the first shop on the server!
The work you have and fwip have done in the nether is utterly unbelievable pix
That fortress reveal was sweet, I appreciate the cinematics 🌟
"DIY Whither kits" sounds like such a fun idea.
This was a fun one. Excellent cinematics, great interactions, a really cool project--loved every bit of it
It's fun watching y'all work together and work on your individual projects. Really different - but ditto on the I love the survival guides a lot too. so you need to keep us both going Pixl!!! Thanks loads. Granny Lee
it might just be your cinematics, but I seriously think the nether is so beautiful after 1.16
Vines on the nether fortress columns would look so cool!!
the intro and music is way to epic for an smp with goofy friends lol ❤ So happy to finally check out Pixelriffs after watching hermitcraft recap for so long now
I can't wait to hear the inevitable note block wither stationed at the beacon shop lol
This is the best co-op story Ive literally ever seen
Fighting not only one but FOUR withers is definitely NOT on my bingo card, phew! GG for surviving!!
i know you and fwhip were probably joking around but legitimately selling “wither kits” would be so good because when a customer buys a kit they could or could not buy “insurance.”
as well as the one iron block or whatever payment you choose for the insurance they would leave their fate coin so you or fwhip could bring them back incase the wither kills them.
if they dont get killed by the wither and have bought the insurance they can keep it for another wither kit use or buy their coin back from yall!
Who needs to watch the Minecraft movie when Pixlriffs exists? Top notch content as always!
I was going to ask about your time-lapse music, and you posted it. Si good! Gonna get that for my art time lapse videos.
really enjoyed those cinematics, editing. top quality.
This was really fun and the atmosphere was so cool. Love the farm you made for early game.
watching in game chat while you two were killing Withers was HILARIOUS
What an episode! And the wither skeletons' run is very funny
I love how the warped forest in front of other biomes almost makes the nether fog look purple
I think a friendly balloon delivering a beacon to Mog would be a decent way to repay the efficiency books.
Really loved the first few mins of the video! Kinda reminded me of the og survival guild! Good work
Love the way you edit your videos! Your choice of music is phenomenal! You are an epic player and builder! Enjoying the series so much. 😊
Awesome video. Loved watching you build the wither skeleton farm. Someone actually did a Warden vs every mob on Bedrock and the Warden vs Wither was kind of a tie. The Warden won initially but then the Wither's last explosion took him out.
What a good vid to wake up to
The stone slabs in the Nether Fortress look like ash settled on the ruins.
You should let everyone know that no lore is, in itself, lore.
The nether scene was cool! He's so good at that and it's like watching a movie. ❤
FW+Pix - what a team! Good vibes and awesome work! … someone please make a music disc of Shelby’s giggle…
Loving the dramatic nether tour!! ❤❤
Bro deserves an Oscar for the level of quality he produces 🤯
Pix, you and fwhip are two of my favorite minecraft dudes, and its always a treat when you hang out!!
Also, i think youve been covering Hermitcraft too long.... theyre rubbing off on you. A mini perimeter and a crazy first farm is a very hermity thing to do lol. Love to see it!
Loving the vibe and music on your videos you never disappoint. Can't wait for the next one.😊
What an intro!
that strider ride was majesticcc
You're the best Minecrafter. 🙂

That sounds kinda like… lore?
Iron Golems would have been good for the Wither fight
You should call the skeleton wither head + soul sand combo a *Beacon (assembly required)* just for fun, lol
Loved the episode Pix! Your editing skills are top notch, this episode was beautiful to watch. And no, no I did not have you and Fwhip fighting 4 withers on my bingo card, nor the first shop being beacons. Beacon Boys!
Pix walked onto the server and chose violence against his own sanity! XD
