I like how "continue in this biome" isn't an option and Kevin just said "let me know if you want me to try another biome!" He's done with this hellscape
Speaking of hellscape, he should try the nether. On one hand he won't need to get to the nether, but on the other hand, way more hostile mobs and no time to get gear in advance
@@lennaerthondelink7374 If he got lucky with gold he could use it to make armor or to trade with piglins, but the main issue would be food because the only food source in the nether is hoglins.
Since you have a single iron ingot left, you could make flint and steel. With the bucket, if you find enough lava you can go to the nether, which may have some of that warped wood in the chunk. It's not a guarantee, but it's worth a shot
This kind of challenge might be better with a starting chest. There's no guarantee it'll give you anything worthwhile, but at minimum it gives you storage and a chance of trees and from there it'd be more reasonable to make progress.
I agree, a starting chest in areas especially like these make it far more possible to do anything while not offering too much of a boon. Otherwise you essentially have no chance of getting anything worthwhile.
Computer constantly over heating? Use it like a range and cook yourself up some food while gaming. KFC tried this; it didn't land so the PlayStation Pizza Slice Warmer worked out better.
You have a bucket now. Mob farm for mob drops, nether portal in the hope you end up with a lucky area instead of a lava pool but that won’t be so bad, you have sand
I read this title and was like: “no impossible.” Then I saw the trained mad man Kevin came up with this. So I grabbed my coffee and chips and got ready to see some cavemen footage
1 chunk Minecraft is honestly one of my favorite series to watch. I’d love to see more from different biomes and also as one had suggested in the comments, the ocean lol. Keep it up, Kevin!
Yeah, though I feel like the challenge works better with mods, especially if you're in a biome with no trees. Having a mod that adds Cactus tools for example would be very useful.
The origin of sexual reproduction can be traced to early prokaryotes, around two billion years ago (Gya), when bacteria began exchanging genes via conjugation, transformation, and transduction. This era is also known as "The Bone Age" amongst the anthropological community.
Yesss I was just about to comment this after watching the video :) the jungle chunk would work out rlly well and with Kevin's history with jungles...what could go wrong? :)
I give him 3 days before another forest fire incident Hell, with how tall jungle trees are, if he forgot to build a lightning rod, a single thunderstorm could fuck him over
Can we also all appreciate the added effort Kevin and his editors put in to change his voice when his character is underwater? I love that added touch. My immersion is complete.
So, having thought it over and researched options, I could see exactly one legit route for getting wood on a sand biome spawn that has none. The secret would be moss blocks. You either need moss in your spawn chunk, or you'd need to go down into the caves and have moss blocks within range so an Enderman can pick it up and bring it to you. In any case, if you can get one moss block, you can place it near stone or deepslate, then use bonemeal on it to spread the moss and with enough bonemeal, spawn an Azalea. The Azalea can then be bonemealed into a full Azalea tree, that you can then get wood from. Without finding a mineshaft, that'd be the only way I could devise to get wood.
Went from laughing hysterically and calling Kevin an idiot for burning his fishing rod to being fiercely protective of him against the wretched Kotaku real fast
I honestly suggest ocean, there are sunken ships for wood, gravel, stone, and it doesn't go to bedrock, good luck on the whole breathing underwater thing.
Yes I was about to say the same thing ! The shipwreck is crucial tho he would need to pick a chunk with it, if there isn't one in his chunk he would have to cheat -like in this challenge- I didn't see anything
0:40 Seeing his excitement at getting a stick is my favourite moment in this whole video. No one should be that excited about a stick, but his current situation is an exception. Also 4:17 When he told the skeleton to not get bored of him. That is me whenever I’m in a relationship as I always fear the person I’m dating will dump me as they have gotten bored of me
There’s something deliciously sick about the way that Kevin instinctively equipped a bone as soon as the skeleton started shooting at him. The definition of taunting the enemy 😂
Kevin:"Pfft, I already delt with your brother." Skeleton:"Yeah, right. How would you know if he was my...?" Kevin:(Pulls out bone) Skeleton:(Looks in shock)"Danny?"
By the looks this setup for this challenge is actually impossible for you unless you have a lush cave or mineshaft under your chunk. You also wont have any access to emeralds with the current setup. You could progress quite far however if you were within 2 chunks of a village or spawned on top of a desert pyramid. The latter would either require enough emeralds inside the pyramid loot to get an oak sapling from a wandering trader.
@@leonardochapman4736 What for? My comment is focused on this specific challenge. He doesn't have access to wood, apples, or emeralds. That makes progression impossible without "cheating" or what I said above. His other "one chunk" series have him have access to those things just fine, allowing full progression and villager access. (obviously he still has to add the end portal)
You can also get warped wood if you can get to the nether. You would need to be lucky enough to have water and lava and gravel in the chunk, but using his creeper strategy for iron and smelting it with bows/wool he can make a nether portal. You still need a lot of luck to have the portal in a warped forest
@@scooote9478 oh kinda true. If the nether chunk was in a warped or crimson forest that is another source of wood. Although it would take a few hours to make a nether portal without tools, and require water and a 5+ deep lava pool below it in the chunk. (Side note you say you could smelt iron to help make the nether portal but if the goal is to unlock wood without "cheating" you wouldn't have a furnace due to no crafting table)
Hey Kevin, good work on getting so far in the chunk. Having a desert start can be quite limiting. There's a few decent things you can get via fishing (Like bowls, string, sticks and leather (As well as other fishing rods) For the better stuff (like enchanted fishing rods + bows) you'll need to layer the water so it's all source blocks (Should be able to just place water all along 2 adjacent sides on the bottom, autofill will do the rest) The space may be limiting, but your genius knows no bounds.
Certainly the large lake of source water (which Kevin failed to build in the earlier series) + treasure fishing seems the only route out of this hellscape. 0.5% chance of fishing a stick this way, which would be the only wood source but enough to build stone picks and mine until finally lucky. The junk bows and string can be used as fuel. It would be absolutely tedious to play! I guess you can build a mob farm underground or out of sandstone for their drops too.
everyone calls kevin a military genius but everyone overlooks his amazing building and mining systems, so maybe he’s also a architectural genius to fit everything in that one chunk
I watched this at half speed to combat my motion sickness. I.. love it so much. At half speed, Kevin's voice sounds slurred like he's drugged, or delirious from the desert heat. And also I don't get motion sick from quick camera turns.
I'm obsessed with these. How about an only underground chunk, or an ocean chunk? You'd eventually get underground on that one but it'd be lots of drowning and that's fun
The villagers coming to watch Kevin play with sand reminds me of that one folktale about the guy who makes a deal with the devil, his soul in return for the devil doing work for him, and the final task was to make a rope of sand, an impossible (and in some versions, endless) task. Not entirely sure why, though!
Yes! Your one chunk challenge (and two chunk and hardcore one chuck) are my favourite series of yours. I'd love to see this across different biomes. Deserts (and badlands) are certainly the hardest with the lack of wood, but I would watch this particular challenge in any set up. So please make more!
Love these challenge videos. I'm rubbish at Minecraft, don't have the time to learn it, but I love watching these and relaxing with them in the background. :)
I think this will be another cool series! It must've been a slow day at Kotaku for them to call out Kevin for "cheating"... on his own made-up challenge 😂
@@WillPill2002 Neighbouring chunks would be best. That way they could set up trading if one has something the other needs and can trade for it. Might end up with a monopoly though.. imagine the fighting and having to keep away from the chunk border in case someone tried to kill you for the chance of your stuff.. haha that could be real fun actually.
@@chainedscythe2000 true, but could you imagine the chaos of all 5 of them trying to share the space of one chunk?😂 i think they'd all lose their minds
If you spawned under a chunk with an abandoned mineshaft by luck, you could survive at least a little bit from the wood you can find. You would need to ultimately find a way to get a sapling to continue in any of these challenges I think :)
if their was also a ruined portal you could get a golden apple and cure a randomly spawning zombie villager by getting a witch to splash it with weakness you could get and emerald and buy a sapling from a wandering trader as well as some moss to turn into dirt
@@bubbaloobub3592 sounds very difficult. Witches don't spawn often, and even if you can get one and a zombie, you'd need a pyramid to get emeralds from and a ruined portal within the same chunk, not to mention the mineshaft. Very unlikely
One chunk ice biome would be very interesting and perilous. I hope you continue with the desert too though. Very cool to see ideas of how to deal with tough circumstances.
Just gonna put this here: based on the title and Kevin's rules, creative mode is NOT cheating. The title is "can you play without leaving the chunk" not "can you survive" and the answer to that is yes. Also, they would've called it cheat mode not creative if it was ;)
@@CalsGirl97 if anyone cares about anything Kotaku says, they've literally put out entire articles about mods that just change how much SPECIAL points and HP cats have in Fo4. That's not a joke, they literally have two articles just from searching, and I'm sure there's more.
These one chunk series and some of the other minecraft challenges, steam and sims videos have been my favorite so far, also playing old games in 2022. :3 💫✌️ I love your personality and attitude. You're not too loud or purposely obnoxious. Thank you for being more, real I guess. 😊👌
hey kev, just wanted to ask, are you actually enjoying the videos you’ve been making lately? just want to make sure. with all of these videos being similar and heavily edited i’m worried you’re just making it because it’s what you think we all want. want to make sure you’re doing all right and still having fun, friend.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. It’s always the same few games, the videos got shorter, the editing increased with a lot of cuts… I’m not even watching them as soon as the video comes out anymore :/ maybe he’s burnt out
Polar bears are not only kinda rare, they're for the most part a neutral mob that only drop one to two fish, how would that be interesting to deal with?
@@lemonpaperplanes I swear I was attacked by one at one point. I've stayed away from them since. I guess I could be mistaken though. Since polar bears can go after humans, I figured maybe it was implemented in the game. They don't seem to be that rare in my game. There's at least one every time I'm in a snow village. I have the bedrock pc version if that makes a difference with mobs.
@@puredemon5926 yeah the adult ones do attack when theres a baby polar bear around, admittedly they might not be that rare, I dont hang around too often, but I don't really see them that much personally
That actually was quite fun. Seeing that Kevin likes to do fun series with different quirks - watching one where he tries to survive every biome on-chunk challenge seems pretty fun!
I can’t be the only one who would love to see Kevin try to survive in a deep frozen ocean biome, but since I’m certain that would be impossible, maybe try an ice spike biome.
I would like to see you try this challenge in the Mushroom Field biome. It shouldn't be as tough as a desert chuck, but it should still pose a good challenge. Plus no hostile mobs will spawn, which is probably a double edged sword now that I think about it. 😂
For the next one you should allow yourself to leave the grid one time for only 20-30 minutes. Would make for an interesting twist since you would have to focus on the things you need the most. Will be pretty limited though so you better have a game plan. =)
@@criptin4075 it's not too bad. If you get a few saplings (oak or dark oak, so you have apples), some wool, and some sugar cane, you cover most of the useful stuff you can't get underground. I found a lush cave next to an underground lake, which proved to be very useful. I even managed to get villagers by curing zombie villagers. When I last played I was working on an iron farm and getting a max-level enchanter.
I think it’d be cool for you to gather as much up as you can without restrictions, and then build a one-block tower like one stack up, and then build an island off of that, and try to live up there.
Loved the video! *But do you want to fish up TREASURE?* (also spoiler alert: you can get sticks) The pond is the right size (minimum 5x5x2 of water sources), but because you filled in the top and let it *flow* downwards when you broke those blocks (15:53), the top layer is water sources but the bottom layer is _flowing_ water. Both layers have to be source blocks. Best way to fix is to empty the water you've got first, then fill the bottom layer completely, normally. Then fill up the next layer by placing water sources along the walls of the top layer in an L shape and letting the water sources spread. And by letting the water spread, I mean that once you start the 2nd side of the L, each water source you place should cause a chain reaction all along the pond, creating water sources along a whole strip. If the water looked flat after each layer was completed, then you're good to go. And the 5x5 area centres around the fishing bobber, so be careful when fishing to cast to a spot where the edges of the pond or those couple blocks jutting in aren't part of that square shape. And after all that, one man's junk truly is another man's treasure because you can get STICKS by fishing! BUT, they're in the junk category, and the less likely you are to get treasure, the more likely you are to get junk (and fish)! *So maybe you don't want to fish up TREASURE?* Master the art of fishing, and then you will be: military genius, interior design genius, acrobatic genius, and *piscatorial genius*
I think it'd be pretty cool if you spawned yourself in a single dirt and sapling, then planted it in the large cave you found underneath your base. Using that, you could then fish for items and such.
Someone probably already said this, but your fishing rod was 100% the right choice. If you make the water pool dreeper and wider (i think it's like four or five water on each side and below the bobber) you can fish up treasure like enchanted rods and books and whatever. But junk includes Sticks! And leather, etc! Good things!
just fill the pool from the bottom up to ensure they're all source blocks, not flowing blocks - 5x5x4 (2 deep water, 2 air above) seems to be enough for treasure, but sticks are junk and I think could even be fished from the big puddle in this video.
I'm so happy to see this amazing series return! I went back and rewatched your other one chunk challenges to htpe myself up! Also, useless fact: If the fish is cooked, its called sushi. If its raw, its sashimi. The more you know. =☆ Best of luck with your chunk! Hope you have fun with it.
Hey Kev, don't you catch random stuff when fishing? Stuff like sticks and string and stuff? I know it may take a while but catching random junk in that pond you made is probably the best thing that could've happened to you being stuck in the desert.
You should do a challenge like this with basic starting gear. If you're in a dessert then start with one dirt and one sapling at the very least lol you could go on to add a single seed, water bucket, etc, but wouldn't want to overdo it. A sapling at least would be perfect

@@bubbaloobub3592 sounds very difficult. Witches don't spawn often, and even if you can get one and a zombie, you'd need a pyramid to get emeralds from and a ruined portal within the same chunk, not to mention the mineshaft. Very unlikely
Just seeing the new hair and holy Kevin you’re looking amazing my guy!! So happy Jim allowed you to try a new style, you’re rockin it.
This desert is the purgatory for all the deeds that Jim had done
"Yeah, sorry buddy, I'm the main character, I'm just going to keep coming back."
XD
Yet another one chunk challenge? Just what I had been hoping for!
One chunk ice biome would be very interesting and perilous. I hope you continue with the desert too though. Very cool to see ideas of how to deal with tough circumstances.
please continue with this biome! fishing unlocks a lot of stuff like sticks!!
Let's make it easy on Kevin and give him a jungle for the next biome.
I’d love to see you do this in more biomes like the mushroom one
Or a snow one.
Those villagers have no idea how lucky they are.
Also Kevin is a military genius.
Just gonna put this here: based on the title and Kevin's rules, creative mode is NOT cheating. The title is "can you play without leaving the chunk" not "can you survive" and the answer to that is yes.
Also, they would've called it cheat mode not creative if it was ;)
Legal genius
Game Jurnos don't care, they just want to feel self important
@@CalsGirl97 if anyone cares about anything Kotaku says, they've literally put out entire articles about mods that just change how much SPECIAL points and HP cats have in Fo4. That's not a joke, they literally have two articles just from searching, and I'm sure there's more.
Better Call Amateural!
Creative is cheating.
These one chunk series and some of the other minecraft challenges, steam and sims videos have been my favorite so far, also playing old games in 2022. :3 💫✌️ I love your personality and attitude. You're not too loud or purposely obnoxious. Thank you for being more, real I guess. 😊👌
"We have a lot of sand, now."
*Anakin disliked that*
Kevin: I wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow had sand.
The enderman: And I took that personally.
Kevin killing zombies with sand, he is a genius because somehow I never thought of that.
It felt whack watching him do that 😂 what a diabolical genius, suffocating mobs with sand
hey kev, just wanted to ask, are you actually enjoying the videos you’ve been making lately? just want to make sure. with all of these videos being similar and heavily edited i’m worried you’re just making it because it’s what you think we all want. want to make sure you’re doing all right and still having fun, friend.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. It’s always the same few games, the videos got shorter, the editing increased with a lot of cuts… I’m not even watching them as soon as the video comes out anymore :/ maybe he’s burnt out
@@mrspaperpaper yeah i’m hoping he takes a break soon or something because it just feels like he isn’t enjoying it as much
Idk I think he's funnier than ever, I just wish the stuff was longer
I hope he's enjoying himself. If your not enjoying it Kev you can do what ever you need for it to be enjoyable ❤️
The snow biome might be fun. There's a chance of trees, but there's also polar bears which would be an interesting thing to deal with.
Polar bears are not only kinda rare, they're for the most part a neutral mob that only drop one to two fish, how would that be interesting to deal with?
@@lemonpaperplanes I swear I was attacked by one at one point. I've stayed away from them since. I guess I could be mistaken though. Since polar bears can go after humans, I figured maybe it was implemented in the game. They don't seem to be that rare in my game. There's at least one every time I'm in a snow village. I have the bedrock pc version if that makes a difference with mobs.
@@puredemon5926 They attack when they have a baby around
@@puredemon5926 yeah the adult ones do attack when theres a baby polar bear around, admittedly they might not be that rare, I dont hang around too often, but I don't really see them that much personally
That actually was quite fun. Seeing that Kevin likes to do fun series with different quirks - watching one where he tries to survive every biome on-chunk challenge seems pretty fun!
Kevin’s military intelligence shall be tested in this one
13:08 i wish i cold turn back time to the good old days
I can’t be the only one who would love to see Kevin try to survive in a deep frozen ocean biome, but since I’m certain that would be impossible, maybe try an ice spike biome.
I missed this series. It’s always nice to watch.
yay!! just binged the other two one chunk series, so happy we’re getting a 3rd :)
I would like to see you try this challenge in the Mushroom Field biome. It shouldn't be as tough as a desert chuck, but it should still pose a good challenge. Plus no hostile mobs will spawn, which is probably a double edged sword now that I think about it. 😂
I hope Kevin does a snow chunk, it'd be great to see how his military genius tactics adapt to the cold
@Jack murphy Thanks! I made it myself lol
For the next one you should allow yourself to leave the grid one time for only 20-30 minutes. Would make for an interesting twist since you would have to focus on the things you need the most. Will be pretty limited though so you better have a game plan. =)
That is actually a really damn good idea.
I like this idea
I tried something similar once. I gave myself one day above ground; then moved underground permanently.
@@1umbreon4life Haha nice, how did it work out?
@@criptin4075 it's not too bad. If you get a few saplings (oak or dark oak, so you have apples), some wool, and some sugar cane, you cover most of the useful stuff you can't get underground. I found a lush cave next to an underground lake, which proved to be very useful. I even managed to get villagers by curing zombie villagers. When I last played I was working on an iron farm and getting a max-level enchanter.
So excited you're doing this series again:D
5:10 I'm actually quite surprised he managed to spawn in a chunk with such a nice cave
Oh yeah! Just what I needed after today. Some Kevin content!!
Please make more episodes!!! I absolutely loved the original series and want to follow this new adventure along as well
I think it’d be cool for you to gather as much up as you can without restrictions, and then build a one-block tower like one stack up, and then build an island off of that, and try to live up there.
I'm only just starting the video, and it's already the best thing I've ever seen.
Ahhh the excitement of seeing the Stick… can truely never be beat 😩👏
Hey bots
Kevin went from Coldplay, through Twenty One Pilots, to Mr. Sandman. Awesome
Just watched the ending and there is also Bee Geees.
I would love to see Kevin try Stoneblock one of these days. Would be interesting to see how far he could progress.
Loved the video! *But do you want to fish up TREASURE?* (also spoiler alert: you can get sticks)
The pond is the right size (minimum 5x5x2 of water sources), but because you filled in the top and let it *flow* downwards when you broke those blocks (15:53), the top layer is water sources but the bottom layer is _flowing_ water. Both layers have to be source blocks.
Best way to fix is to empty the water you've got first, then fill the bottom layer completely, normally. Then fill up the next layer by placing water sources along the walls of the top layer in an L shape and letting the water sources spread. And by letting the water spread, I mean that once you start the 2nd side of the L, each water source you place should cause a chain reaction all along the pond, creating water sources along a whole strip. If the water looked flat after each layer was completed, then you're good to go.
And the 5x5 area centres around the fishing bobber, so be careful when fishing to cast to a spot where the edges of the pond or those couple blocks jutting in aren't part of that square shape.
And after all that, one man's junk truly is another man's treasure because you can get STICKS by fishing! BUT, they're in the junk category, and the less likely you are to get treasure, the more likely you are to get junk (and fish)! *So maybe you don't want to fish up TREASURE?*
Master the art of fishing, and then you will be: military genius, interior design genius, acrobatic genius, and *piscatorial genius*
I hope I didn't miss any of your genius titles, probably have tbh
At this rate next video will be:
"Can you play minecraft without ever leaving ocean chunk"
That’d be really entertaining tbh, you could dive down to the bottom and pillar up an island
I believe there is a known seed where you spawn on the one surface block which is the mast of a shipwreck
Every single time Kevin starts a new Minecraft world and he first hears an enderman he immediately goes "that sounded like a ghast"
I'm acually nostalgic for something from only a few months ago. Well done Kevin.
With his new hair, Kevin is perfectly suited for camouflage in the desert. Quite genius, really.
I feel like trying this challenge with a bonus chest could be a good idea!
i hope you've been doing well kevin
My man over there looking like a modeling genius
I think it'd be pretty cool if you spawned yourself in a single dirt and sapling, then planted it in the large cave you found underneath your base. Using that, you could then fish for items and such.
Kevin's sand smusher is evidence of his military genius
This is one of my favorite types of series! So glad you are doing another series Kev!
Someone probably already said this, but your fishing rod was 100% the right choice. If you make the water pool dreeper and wider (i think it's like four or five water on each side and below the bobber) you can fish up treasure like enchanted rods and books and whatever. But junk includes Sticks! And leather, etc! Good things!
just fill the pool from the bottom up to ensure they're all source blocks, not flowing blocks - 5x5x4 (2 deep water, 2 air above) seems to be enough for treasure, but sticks are junk and I think could even be fished from the big puddle in this video.
@@AgileSnowWeasel Yes! thank you for the correction, I couldn't remember what the requirements were. ♥
I wasn't ready for Blonde Kevin.
I love how Kevin’s hair is now as pale as his skin :D
Been waiting for a new series like this!!❤️
I'm so happy to see this amazing series return! I went back and rewatched your other one chunk challenges to htpe myself up! Also, useless fact: If the fish is cooked, its called sushi. If its raw, its sashimi. The more you know. =☆
Best of luck with your chunk! Hope you have fun with it.
longer videos AND new series ? feck yes !
Hey Kev, don't you catch random stuff when fishing? Stuff like sticks and string and stuff? I know it may take a while but catching random junk in that pond you made is probably the best thing that could've happened to you being stuck in the desert.
You should do a challenge like this with basic starting gear. If you're in a dessert then start with one dirt and one sapling at the very least lol you could go on to add a single seed, water bucket, etc, but wouldn't want to overdo it. A sapling at least would be perfect
Another idea would be to have someone mod it so when you die either you move or your chunk moves and you get a treasure map with its location
local villagers talk about a mysterious sand hermit named "kevin". he always stays in in one part of the desert..
He's gotten old! His hair is white
He's getting more and more like jim every day
Kevin is a hairstyle genius, too :O
ricegum hair
I'm pretty sure you can get sticks through fishing, I see a long and painful playthrough in Kevin's future
one good one is starting in the nether, there's trees, stone (blackstone can be used as a replacement of cobblestone in recipes), and you can get back to the overworld by trading with piglins
