NOTE: -This map is more of a concept than something to actually play. The idea is that it takes a large amount of steps to complete given its size. (Keep in mind that RNG is just a byproduct of this, not the actual “hard” part of the map) You can use mods/plugins to speed things up, if you plan on actually playing this. -Falling in the void will not work to spawn mobs. Falling into the void will not work because the map must be away from the world spawn because of mob spawning mechanics. If the map is out of the world spawn and you die, you will keep spawning in the void indefinitely. I am aware that there are smaller maps centered around a similar concept. Think of this as more of a skyblock themed puzzle map. (I may make a “smallest” skyblock maps video if people are interested)
The most difficult part of the map is not getting killed by phantoms, but I found a way to solve this. You can place the flower and place the flowerpot ontop of the flower. Then you can place the beehive ontop of the flowerpot. If you remove everything but the beehive, you now have a floating beehive. If you stand under the beehive, phantoms will not spawn. Edit: I have discovered that you can cheese the entire bee phase of the game, however it is statistically impossible. You can simply bridge with the beehive and flowerpot, but each time you break either block there is a chance it falls in the void, and you have to do it 48 times in a row, so it is practically impossible.
Couldn't you theoretically make a second pig farm for another Gapple to convert a second zombie villager, who could then be converted into a farmer and traded carrots? Cuz I'm convinced that the odds of getting a second zombie villager, a second witch, and another huge patch of pigs would be significantly less time and more likely than getting enough emeralds from foxes.
@@recessiv3 You would need several stacks of emeralds, and a fox has a 1% chance of having an emerald. That's 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% per stack
@@DeJay7 those odds are really misleading, what you should calculate is the expected time. If the fox takes X seconds to spawn, you would expect on average (statistics 101) to wait X/(chance of success), assuming the foxes spawn one after the other with no delay. Simply change X to be the time between consecutive fox spawns. Let's suppose that's 2 minutes apiece - that means you're working for 200 minutes to get 1 emerald. For a stack, you just multiply that by 64 to get almost 9 days
@@DeJay7 You've don't your calculations wrong, it's quite common so no biggy. What you did is calculate the percentage to get 64 foxes in a row, each one with an emerald. This is unnecessary. Statistically you would need about 6,400 foxes to spawn to get a stack of emeralds.
@@ronankennedy8081 You sir are correct. Also, just saying my calculation is not wrong, it's just not the realistic scenario. That number is getting 64 foxes with emeralds in a row. But, 6400 foxes are way too many for 1 stack, so either way it's terrible.
A proof of concept version of this map would be to set all loot tables to always drop one of everything that you *could* get, as well as increasing random ticks to 10
I don’t think this map statistically possible but if people are interested, I might play an equally difficult (but not statistically impossible) version of the map lol
@@tzemmiecat4923 well then, there are some changes that would do the trick: -bees need just 1 cycle to produce the honey and are always peaceful -crafting a honey block makes 4x more blocks in result, so less grinding -wandering traders spawn every day and have 100% chance to drop a potion -foxes always spawn with emeralds -random tick speed is slightly higher -player gets a lightning rod basically everything up to the gold farm stage is faster, but villagers and the nether should be pretty normal, that stage isn't really afking at this point, in fact you can even get water from the nether, just buy 3 water bottles and get a cauldron
@@tzemmiecat4923 I think the hardest part might actually be getting the villager without dying. A witch throws a weakness potion if the player is within 8 blocks or slowed AND The player is either poisoned or below 4 hearts. And then its just a 25% chance, otherwise the witch will throw a potion of harming, which is probably going to kill you as you are low now. I also think it is impossible to complete without dying, you are going to starve because you have to punch mobs, you also do not have a sword in the beginning. Also the lamas will spit at you Also do bees even de-agro while they see the player? Have you tried collecting honey without dying?
@@wernerderchamp As far as food goes, you can stop phantoms from spawning by placing the three blocks you get above you since phantoms don’t spawn if there is a block above you. From that point and on, you can use honey as a food source, and once you get enough honey to bridge out, you can just use regular food. Bees are infact a big problem and the answer to your question really just depends on how many bees are in the beehive. Before making the video I did infact try to see how hard the bees would be, and with 2 or less bees it is very doable with just regular walking (which doesn’t use hunger). Three bees is where things get really hard, but it is still possible as I was able to do a few cycles around the map with three bees. Bees deagro after 25 seconds. Llamas will not spit on you unless you attack them or the wandering trader, which you do not have to do. The witch thing is not as hard as it seems. The big thing is that by the time you get to that point, you already have access to enchanted armor from mobs, as well as anvils. Additionally, you only need to pull off the trick once, so if you cant get it the first time you can just try again later.
@@tzemmiecat4923 Yeah, but you need to punch the trader for the bottles/leads, which will make them spit at you. I also think mobs might run over the edge as they panic.
This was really fun to watch! Wandering trader sells buckets of fish so you can also get water that way. I'd love to see someone do a TAS of this with perfect RNG.
Honestly been thinking about doing that. I’m not sure how interesting that would play out to be, but it sounds like a decent idea. Likely near the bottom of my list, but I may do it once I get a break from school.
protosky is much shorter to the end fight. it only took ray and friends so long because they wanted to get as many unique items as they could. id also argue the rng involved in this makes it harder to beat
@@knurft3 not really. Because they started in the nether, they were immediately able to get piglins, hoglings, and zombie piglings, and obsedine and wood, which gave a huge boost to the early game and made it less risky
Worth mentioning is losing the Bees early on is very easy, since they do not fly. The Hover a certain distance above blocks, and can therefore fall off the map.
Trees and wood are the big milestone for me because then you can finally build up all the SPACE you need. with the ability to build structures, it's possible to create a zombie trap where you can sort the villagers from the rest. Once you have farmers and some crops, you can generate all the emeralds you need. For me the most painful part of this is the bees... I never figured out bees.
I've been working on a TAS of this map, and I want to point out something about the honey-collection part. There's another strategy you can use to bridge out that does not require *any* honey (but does require a lot of rng): you can use just the hive and flower pot to bridge out 24 blocks. Place the two, destroy one, place one, destroy one, place one, ... and so on. So if you want the map to enforce waiting for honey, you should place the hive on the obby, prevent the bee from exiting with a carpet, and place the flower on the grass. Since a carpet needs a solid block beneath it to exist, you can't use it to bridge out. This enforces waiting for honey.
Extra challenge if it’s too easy for you: Have the 10 pieces of obsidian and the end portal spawn at a random location in the entire world with maximum border length.
This is not the hardest, rather the most time consuming tbh. The instructions are simple, but the chances and time it would take is just much. So it's not hard, just time consuming. This is like giving stockfish(chess engine best) a very unlikely, BUT winnable position and yourself 1 year to move. It's not hard for them, rather just time consuming since they have to wait for you to make a move. To be honest, based on these chances one would figure them out in time without assistance lmao (they would just need time). The hardest skyblock would be like a "timed death trap" that has only itself around, BUT has limited resources, THEN there is a "circle" around the island that has water moving on it, imagine it being a tower, once the last block is filled from the timed place, redstone starts to go up, and drop TNT on the player. NOW THAT is hard and not time consuming! :D
Another thing, to craft a lightning rod and attract lightning for zombie piglins and the portal you can *moist* the zombies to turn them into drowned wich has a chance to drop copper ingots
mine is harder :) start with a unbreakable fishing rod and a single water source block, in the nether. you have to fish to get string for wool to spawn zombie pigmen and have them die for gold to trade with piglins to even get to the overworld, from there you need a taiga biome for emeralds, to get a sapling and podzol from a wandering trader, to FINALLY get a way to store items.
That sounds interesting, but wouldn’t that give you access to blazes and endermen right away? Im guessing your map has blaze spawners and end portals located away from the spawn. For the purposes of my video I restricted my map to have all of the resources at the spawn point, but that still sounds pretty complicated and cool.
@@tzemmiecat4923 End portal would be located wherever the stronghold would be. There would be no blaze spawners, but the structure bounding box is still there so if a platform is built then blazes and wither skeletons occasionally spawn. You don't get access "right away" because it takes weeks of constant fishing just to get enough wool for mobs to spawn
I did think about this but I heard that mobs might not spawn in spawn chunks. I don’t know if this is true but that would be an issue. If the map can’t be in spawn chunks that means that the player can’t die or else they die indefinitely, so I did not consider falling into the void as an option for the player. Either way though, I think the beehive stage would still be faster if done as intended. Mob spawning has a chance to occur every tick when available, and there are very few ticks in the time of falling in and out of mob spawning range. You would also have to do this a countless number of times until you get all the emerald foxes you need, so I think that even with the added time it takes to bridge with honey, the honey strat is well worth the time compared to the void strat.
@@tzemmiecat4923 since it's the only platform on the map, mobs would spawn like crazy. If you're able to respawn, and mobs dont despawn if you fall far enough, I'm sure collecting string for blocks would be a faster strat than honey.. I think? Making sure the platform is high enough would despawn the mobs, and also reduce overall spawn rates making the map even harder xd
@@HollaFoil Turns out, dying wont work. Mobs don’t spawn in the immediate spawn chunk apparently, so the map would have to be away from the world spawn meaning no dying can occur. Ironically, wandering traders still do spawn in the world spawn, but you don’t need the void for that. Good idea though.
@@ThatsMySkill You would’t have access to string during the bee stage of the map but yes, later on you can use a bed to set your spawn point. At that point however, you would have a large platform for mobs to spawn on anyways.
Okay since the theory is quite amazingly put together and the mechanics of it really apply from the start to the end. It's a 5/5. But as for the playability and let's say number off people engaged in such challenges, it's very focused. I'd say that this is a mere concept of work more than a map that I myself I'd play. Even tho, just from the bare explanation of it it sounds tedious, I'd give a go to the mere fact of calculating the odds of the strategy you're exposing. More than that, I'm not the kind of player you aimed this for. Anyway, I recognise the technical aspects of the challenge you made and I can tell its just as a SciCraft engineering project, to put it in a way.
pathfinding zombie mob farms at low y levels are actually really fast and provide a whole lot of resources. You can make several cauldrons and grinding there will make other waiting parts more enjoyable.
you can make it harder by just changing the nether a little bit so there is just a single chunk, and then you’ll need to wait piglings to spawn and carefully not falling to the void (also careful of brutes) and also don’t forget to bring blocks to the nether because you need to kill enderman and blazes. Then in the end dimension just leave the portal chunk, the pillars, and the spawn chunk so the player needs to bring a lot of blocks to go to the towers and to the portal without falling to the void.
@@rubixtheslime i could put a bastion near the nether chunk so they generate there and with the end I could put shulkers all around the obsidian towers to make everything harder.
You could barter for gravel from piglins, skipping the need for lightning to hit the portal. You could also find diamond gear and netherite in bastions, helping you in the final fight. You could gather nether materials to create an epic base around this very world, all thanks to the nether update. How amazing!
You could theoreticly make it harder by saying that 1 end portal frame has to appear with cosmic ray bugging a frame into spawning. Or do the same thing witch basicly every block you see in this video...
This is like how it's theoretically possible to beat the game with wood tools and a hopper. Buckets are in villages, dispensers in jungle temples/witch drops, portal. Much harder than not ever collecting wood or leaves (fishing rod) because you have to transport those buckets.
You can get a fletcher to level up the toolsmith with your infinite wood supply from the wandering trader... that's probably faster then killing 100million foxes for a few emeralds also you can then breed the villagers with another to speed things up even more
You can actually make the map even harder, as it is possible to play with just a grass block, remove the beehive and flower pot, and to have the obby and frames elsewhere (say 100 blocks away, where you can't immediately get to them (to truly "maximize" difficulty, you'd want to place them as far away as possible, so why not put each of the obby spaced out evenly along the worldborder)) Without the bees you can jump off the grass block into the void, and wait for sheep and spider spawns, then, when they do spawn, kill the sheep for wool, and the spiders for string to craft into wool. Once you get 24 blocks away to do the normal spawns, it proceeds like normal. The rest of the challenge is the same. (I've discussed a bunch with my friends about minimalist skyblock starts, we'd mostly focused on minimum block count, rather than "difficulty", but I can see how that would be a metric to strive for)
By “hard” I really meant complex. Of course, one could create a map that requires an insane amount of rng to complete, but that is not very interesting. The idea of the video is to create map that takes an absurd amount of brainpower and thinking to complete, while still keeping the integrity of skyblock. The luck and repetition needed to complete this map was really just a byproduct of its complexity. I did consider having only a lava caldron, solid block, and end portal for the entire map, but I felt that by removing the bee section of the map, the map lost alot of its complexity. From what I understand mobs are not be able to spawn in the precise spawn chunks so I didn’t consider jumping into the void as an option for the player, since if the map could not be in the spawn chunks, the player would just die in the void indefinitely. There are many smaller (but less interesting) maps that I have created such as one that involves powder snow and the lava one that I mentioned (which is similar to what you suggested), but I found that this map the most complex which is the reason I didn’t choose any of those options, but thank you for the thought.
@@tzemmiecat4923 Sure, there are many possible different configurations. If you really wanted just "the hardest to beat" or "the most complex" and just went by the metric, you'd start with some wacky escape rooms that make you do a few million hours of work before you can even start with the skyblock part, but that isn't really what the question is about. Personally I think it's more interesting to consider the minimum number of starting blocks/items that can get you to the end, of which there are many combinations. My favorite is a single grass and a single lava block. I haven't been able to think of a single block start that can get you into the end (other than ones I feel don't count; end portal, chest with items, command block, etc.).
@@haph2087 I get what you mean, and infact, size was originally the entire premise of the video. However, there are a few reasons to why I changed the direction of the video from size to complexity. If size is all that matters, then what is stopping me from just putting an end portal block at the spawn? What is stopping me from just putting a blaze spawner at spawn or a chest full of goods? I could say "If it spawns naturally, it is allowed." Except, end portals can technically spawn naturally. So then I could add "It must spawn naturally without glitches". But this would still allow things like chests with end loot, or activated end portal frames. I could then add "It has to be guaranteed to spawn in any given world". I could keep going with restrictions like this, but it would get over complicated for the purpose of the video. I guess the true premise of this video is to create the most complicated map that I could which still keeps the integrity of skyblock. I do see the interest of making maps that are as small as possible with restrictions, and I have actually have thought about making a video dedicated to that (since I have some ideas in mind), but I'm not too sure if people would watch it because it may be too similar to this video.
Then again, I may make a video of me actually playing an alternate map similar to the one in this video, so that may be a good time to showcase and think up maps that focus on the metric of size instead of integrity and absurdity.
@@tzemmiecat4923 I totally get it. Before you can get an answer, you have to figure out what the right question to ask is, and that’s not simple to find. What makes a skyblock interesting? I think some mix of a) being able to get as many items as possible, b) starting with as few and mundane items as possible, and c) having as many steps to “completion” as possible. Perhaps other things should be considered, or some of these aren’t great. It’s subjective, so at the end of the day, it’s up to you.
You don't need the grass block, you can replace it with a furnace. You can kill a zombie to get an iron shovel and use honey blocks to go to a block with possible snowfall and get the snow block (with 4 snowballs). In snow block is possible spawn the fox (if you are in taiga biome, to be more difficult you can start in another biome and go to taiga biome with honey blocks and/or snow blocks). And the pigs? You don't need the pigs, you can get gold nuggets by smelting zoombi's gold armor.
theoretically couldn't you just bridge over to the farming phase with the beehive and flowerpot? Since you can just break the first block and then place it after the 2nd block and repeat, you can skip the bee phase entirely
it's statistically impossible to do it. the chance of doing it 48 times in a row is like 10^48 or 1 in 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
the trick is so hard to pull of without you or the beehive falling into the void, even if you are good it's a 1 in 10 chance. Exponentially increase that across 48 times aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand no.
You actually don't need the obisidian, after aquiring hero of the village from completing a raid (which can be done with your one villager and a random patrol spawn) you can obtain lava from a villager gifting you a lava bucket (toolsmith/armorer can do this). With your one lava bucket you can create obsidian, to obtain more lava you can use dripstone provided by the wandering trader or just simply waiting for villagers to drop more lava.
You can just fall off the island, then you are 24 blocks away so mobs can spawn. So the intire bee part is not needed Also you can use lava bucket with dripstone to get to obsidian, so only 1 block (rest is wandering trader/killing mobs) Also you can get two villagers to make a villager breeder, and you can get emeralds in many ways if you do that, like selling crops (composter), etc
1. Mobs cannot spawn within the world spawn chunk, which is why you need to honey block outside 24 blocks in the first place. 2. Even IF mob could spawn, jumping into the void would only provide you with a few games ticks, and mobs take a long time to spawn, especially when there is only ONE grass block. It's probably faster to do his strat. 3. Where do you get that lava bucket and drip stone you mentioned? Idk bout dripstone, but the only way to get lava at all, without going to the nether, is to do the whole villager process, convert him into an armorer villager with blast furnace and hope u get the right rng for lava bucket trade, or else you start over. At that point, might as well just do the normal way he mentioned. Not to mention the dripstone too, which probably also needs the same trading process again, you're doing it TWICE!!!
1 is that the case? What is your source? 2 the video is about the hardest possible way, so this way would be better 3 you can't get lava from villagers. You have made that up. Armorer buys lava buckets. 1.17 introduced renewable lava (if you start with one), if you build it in this configuration Lava (start with) Dripstone block (crafted from pointed dropstone) Pointed drilstone (wandering trader) Cauldron (iron from zombies)
A island that is just a activated end portal, you have no choice but to enter it, now you have to kill the ender dragon with your fist, and it's stuck on peacefull, so no ender pearl from enderman, break the obsidian tower with your hand, and punch it until it dies. (Last time I checked ender dragon spawns on peacefull, I don't have the game it was the free temporary version, 3 years ago)
i wish there's some trick that allow the game to be more easy and speedrunable , one day someone will find that without need to use higher versions of the game.
Btw. The obsidian you can get by start with 1 lava bucket, trade dripstones, kill zombies for iron, duplicate Ur lava and also get water by rain to convert it into obsidian.
2 things: This is some Scicraft level Minecraft f*ckery and I love it And its cool to see you can make so much out of so little H*ll you started with: 1 flower and pot 1 beehive with a minimum of 1 to maximum of 3 bees 10 obsidian and 12 end portal frames but are able to create renewable farms for loads of other resources u never had Wood iron gold animals lava water snow stone bones money all sorts. Really goes to show the resourcefulness of the Minecraft characters making huge amounts of important things out of almost nothing. I love that aspect of Minecraft.
Maybe to make it take even longer, instead of having 8 bedrock, have only 1 bedrock and one block of lava, with the rest of the 5 life's being encased in endframes and/or bedrock, so you have to generate the rest of the lava/obsidian yourself. Preferably with the bedrock also being in the middle of the end portal, so you have to remove that to get to the end.
And you forget that witches, zombies, zombie piglins, blazes, piglins and an actual dragon to kill are all required be able to beat the game on this map.
Quick note to anyone wanting to actually play this! If you want to actually do it, make sure to make a superflat map with the data "minecraft:air;minecraft:taiga" this way you can get the foxes to spawn at all. You could technically just make a villager farm, but if you want to use his method that's how :) *EDIT:* Turns out this is actually required for it to work! Wandering traders are entirely incapable of spawning in the void biome, so you can't just use the void. Additionally, wandering traders actually require you to be more than 48 blocks out of spawn, so you're actually gonna need like 46 honey blocks. And then, at the end of that honey block path, you have to place the beehive (not bee *nest*, if you used a bee nest this is unbeatable) at the end of the path
Btw you can find gravel in bastion chests and if you can get a thunderstorm you can also mine the gravel, kill some zombies for iron, and craft a flint and steel
That makes the game easier. The point of the map is to make it as hard as possible. While a single lava block would reduce the initial starting blocks, having obsidian there with no lava, which is to say, no _moveable_ obsidian, you wouldn't need to go dirt > pig > gold > villager > diamond pickaxe in order to get obsidian.
if I get 1k subs I will play it and also make the nether "skyblock" with one standing in the air portal and only one block where blazes can spawn. Oh, who wants to play skywars with a dragon as well btw? ;) I love the idea of the map btw.
if you walk you don't lose hunger however many other actions do so they are basically limited however you can just drop all your items in the center and jump off
This is a really cool concept, I like how it’s a similar roadmap to ProtoSky (by RaysWorks) but fundamentally very different since you don’t have access to any blocks other than honey (as opposed to having lots of nether resources in the case of ProtoSky As far as endgame goes, you wouldn’t need to worry about the portal getting struck by lightning, don’t even need the diamond pick, since you can get lava from the wandering traders
I dont think you can get lava from traders in vanilla survival. Rays works didnt need lava because piglins could give you obsidian and I remember ilmango adding the lava trade to the trader for a skyblock series he did.
If it's a snowy biome you could go the route Pinu did with jumping off and getting a zombie to spawn with an iron shovel, and then harvesting snow for snow blocks instead of doing the honey thing
would be very interesting to see how fast this could be speed run although it is almost entirely reliant on rng and the speed runners skill would almost have no effect
I'm wondering if it's even possible to play this in hardcore mode. Like you should be able to dodge the phantoms so that you lose minimal hunger. Then killing the wandering trader will get you close to no hunger. Now the question is can the honey sustain you to the point that you don't need to eat every single bottle you get? Like you need to spend quite some time after harvesting the honey to dodge the bees. That would be interesting. Also do they even eventually deaggro while you're in reach?
this is actually easier than it is told in the video, sure it takes time but there are are faster ways or convenient ways to do it like just jumping off the platform to get mobs and ditching the bees
idk how he came up with it but my thought process would be to work backwards from what you need. ultimate end goal is to get pearls and blaze rods. blaze rods --> need a portal --> lava or diamond pick to mine obsidian --> master blacksmith for diamond pick --> ... and so on. then you design the map with only the bare foundations for obtaining all that.
Why get enough fox emeralds to trade for gear with the toolsmith when it's faster to find and convert a second villager, enabling infinite emeralds through sticks (fletcher)? Bonus is you can then breed villagers using carrots, potatoes or bread, all of which are attainable at that point in progression on this map. You should be able to amass chests of emerald blocks this way faster than it would take to get a single fox emerald for the cheapest possible diamond pick (1 emerald with a 4/14 chance, when discounted with a single cure or HotV)

The most difficult part of the map is not getting killed by phantoms, but I found a way to solve this. You can place the flower and place the flowerpot ontop of the flower. Then you can place the beehive ontop of the flowerpot. If you remove everything but the beehive, you now have a floating beehive. If you stand under the beehive, phantoms will not spawn.

@@DeJay7 You've don't your calculations wrong, it's quite common so no biggy. What you did is calculate the percentage to get 64 foxes in a row, each one with an emerald. This is unnecessary. Statistically you would need about 6,400 foxes to spawn to get a stack of emeralds.
@@ronankennedy8081 You sir are correct. Also, just saying my calculation is not wrong, it's just not the realistic scenario. That number is getting 64 foxes with emeralds in a row. But, 6400 foxes are way too many for 1 stack, so either way it's terrible.
Wow, that's pretty hard.

A proof of concept version of this map would be to set all loot tables to always drop one of everything that you *could* get, as well as increasing random ticks to 10
waiting for a madlad to do this challenge
i expect lots of backups because yeah... RNG
I don’t think this map statistically possible but if people are interested, I might play an equally difficult (but not statistically impossible) version of the map lol
@@tzemmiecat4923 well then, there are some changes that would do the trick:
-bees need just 1 cycle to produce the honey and are always peaceful
-crafting a honey block makes 4x more blocks in result, so less grinding
-wandering traders spawn every day and have 100% chance to drop a potion
-foxes always spawn with emeralds
-random tick speed is slightly higher
-player gets a lightning rod
basically everything up to the gold farm stage is faster, but villagers and the nether should be pretty normal, that stage isn't really afking at this point, in fact you can even get water from the nether, just buy 3 water bottles and get a cauldron
@@tzemmiecat4923 I think the hardest part might actually be getting the villager without dying. A witch throws a weakness potion if the player is within 8 blocks or slowed AND The player is either poisoned or below 4 hearts. And then its just a 25% chance, otherwise the witch will throw a potion of harming, which is probably going to kill you as you are low now.
I also think it is impossible to complete without dying, you are going to starve because you have to punch mobs, you also do not have a sword in the beginning. Also the lamas will spit at you
Also do bees even de-agro while they see the player? Have you tried collecting honey without dying?
@@wernerderchamp As far as food goes, you can stop phantoms from spawning by placing the three blocks you get above you since phantoms don’t spawn if there is a block above you. From that point and on, you can use honey as a food source, and once you get enough honey to bridge out, you can just use regular food. Bees are infact a big problem and the answer to your question really just depends on how many bees are in the beehive. Before making the video I did infact try to see how hard the bees would be, and with 2 or less bees it is very doable with just regular walking (which doesn’t use hunger). Three bees is where things get really hard, but it is still possible as I was able to do a few cycles around the map with three bees. Bees deagro after 25 seconds. Llamas will not spit on you unless you attack them or the wandering trader, which you do not have to do. The witch thing is not as hard as it seems. The big thing is that by the time you get to that point, you already have access to enchanted armor from mobs, as well as anvils. Additionally, you only need to pull off the trick once, so if you cant get it the first time you can just try again later.
@@tzemmiecat4923 Yeah, but you need to punch the trader for the bottles/leads, which will make them spit at you.
I also think mobs might run over the edge as they panic.
Its fascinating that its possible (atleast i theoretically doable)
Where did you get the third brain cell from?
mom said its my turn on the brain cell
This was really fun to watch!
Wandering trader sells buckets of fish so you can also get water that way. I'd love to see someone do a TAS of this with perfect RNG.

I wonder how difficult this would be if you play on a non-RNG version where you get everything you need first try
Honestly been thinking about doing that. I’m not sure how interesting that would play out to be, but it sounds like a decent idea. Likely near the bottom of my list, but I may do it once I get a break from school.
pretty sure lotas can do that
There's another map called protosky - it also takes a couple hundred hours and only starts with 4 blocks.
protosky is much shorter to the end fight. it only took ray and friends so long because they wanted to get as many unique items as they could.
id also argue the rng involved in this makes it harder to beat
@@sircalvin protosky is harder, it's the same map but they didn't have the obsidian or bees at the start
@@knurft3 not really. Because they started in the nether, they were immediately able to get piglins, hoglings, and zombie piglings, and obsedine and wood, which gave a huge boost to the early game and made it less risky
@@knurft3 It’s not, because you can immediately get wood & nether resources.
Thats still nothing to the 1 block skyblock in vanilla
Worth mentioning is losing the Bees early on is very easy, since they do not fly. The Hover a certain distance above blocks, and can therefore fall off the map.
Trees and wood are the big milestone for me because then you can finally build up all the SPACE you need.
with the ability to build structures, it's possible to create a zombie trap where you can sort the villagers from the rest.
Once you have farmers and some crops, you can generate all the emeralds you need. For me the most painful part of this is the bees... I never figured out bees.
I've been working on a TAS of this map, and I want to point out something about the honey-collection part. There's another strategy you can use to bridge out that does not require *any* honey (but does require a lot of rng): you can use just the hive and flower pot to bridge out 24 blocks. Place the two, destroy one, place one, destroy one, place one, ... and so on.
So if you want the map to enforce waiting for honey, you should place the hive on the obby, prevent the bee from exiting with a carpet, and place the flower on the grass. Since a carpet needs a solid block beneath it to exist, you can't use it to bridge out. This enforces waiting for honey.
Extra challenge if it’s too easy for you: Have the 10 pieces of obsidian and the end portal spawn at a random location in the entire world with maximum border length.
This is not the hardest, rather the most time consuming tbh. The instructions are simple, but the chances and time it would take is just much. So it's not hard, just time consuming.
This is like giving stockfish(chess engine best) a very unlikely, BUT winnable position and yourself 1 year to move. It's not hard for them, rather just time consuming since they have to wait for you to make a move.
To be honest, based on these chances one would figure them out in time without assistance lmao (they would just need time).
The hardest skyblock would be like a "timed death trap" that has only itself around, BUT has limited resources, THEN there is a "circle" around the island that has water moving on it, imagine it being a tower, once the last block is filled from the timed place, redstone starts to go up, and drop TNT on the player. NOW THAT is hard and not time consuming! :D
*creates a 400 hour skyblock map*
"I'm too lazy to wait for this 5 minute zombie transformation"
playing this map without watching the video is a puzzle on it's own and then you also have to actually complete the steps
Another thing, to craft a lightning rod and attract lightning for zombie piglins and the portal you can *moist* the zombies to turn them into drowned wich has a chance to drop copper ingots
mine is harder :) start with a unbreakable fishing rod and a single water source block, in the nether. you have to fish to get string for wool to spawn zombie pigmen and have them die for gold to trade with piglins to even get to the overworld, from there you need a taiga biome for emeralds, to get a sapling and podzol from a wandering trader, to FINALLY get a way to store items.
That sounds interesting, but wouldn’t that give you access to blazes and endermen right away? Im guessing your map has blaze spawners and end portals located away from the spawn. For the purposes of my video I restricted my map to have all of the resources at the spawn point, but that still sounds pretty complicated and cool.
@@tzemmiecat4923 End portal would be located wherever the stronghold would be. There would be no blaze spawners, but the structure bounding box is still there so if a platform is built then blazes and wither skeletons occasionally spawn.
You don't get access "right away" because it takes weeks of constant fishing just to get enough wool for mobs to spawn
Water + nether?
@@josiahtaylor8714 setblock to build the map
Ah ok, I’ve never messed around with it before, but wouldn’t a block update make the water evaporate?
Notch and Mojang : add little things over the years, some of them not even implemented in the game
This guy :
So, are you allowed to die? If so, can't you theoretically cheese a lot of the bee stage by jumping off at night, causing mobs to spawn?
I did think about this but I heard that mobs might not spawn in spawn chunks. I don’t know if this is true but that would be an issue. If the map can’t be in spawn chunks that means that the player can’t die or else they die indefinitely, so I did not consider falling into the void as an option for the player. Either way though, I think the beehive stage would still be faster if done as intended. Mob spawning has a chance to occur every tick when available, and there are very few ticks in the time of falling in and out of mob spawning range. You would also have to do this a countless number of times until you get all the emerald foxes you need, so I think that even with the added time it takes to bridge with honey, the honey strat is well worth the time compared to the void strat.
@@tzemmiecat4923 since it's the only platform on the map, mobs would spawn like crazy. If you're able to respawn, and mobs dont despawn if you fall far enough, I'm sure collecting string for blocks would be a faster strat than honey.. I think? Making sure the platform is high enough would despawn the mobs, and also reduce overall spawn rates making the map even harder xd
@@HollaFoil Turns out, dying wont work. Mobs don’t spawn in the immediate spawn chunk apparently, so the map would have to be away from the world spawn meaning no dying can occur. Ironically, wandering traders still do spawn in the world spawn, but you don’t need the void for that. Good idea though.
@@tzemmiecat4923 what if you spawn spiders and fetch enough string to make a bed? would that work?
@@ThatsMySkill You would’t have access to string during the bee stage of the map but yes, later on you can use a bed to set your spawn point. At that point however, you would have a large platform for mobs to spawn on anyways.
Okay since the theory is quite amazingly put together and the mechanics of it really apply from the start to the end. It's a 5/5.
But as for the playability and let's say number off people engaged in such challenges, it's very focused. I'd say that this is a mere concept of work more than a map that I myself I'd play.
Even tho, just from the bare explanation of it it sounds tedious, I'd give a go to the mere fact of calculating the odds of the strategy you're exposing. More than that, I'm not the kind of player you aimed this for.
Anyway, I recognise the technical aspects of the challenge you made and I can tell its just as a SciCraft engineering project, to put it in a way.
pathfinding zombie mob farms at low y levels are actually really fast and provide a whole lot of resources. You can make several cauldrons and grinding there will make other waiting parts more enjoyable.
you can make it harder by just changing the nether a little bit so there is just a single chunk, and then you’ll need to wait piglings to spawn and carefully not falling to the void (also careful of brutes) and also don’t forget to bring blocks to the nether because you need to kill enderman and blazes. Then in the end dimension just leave the portal chunk, the pillars, and the spawn chunk so the player needs to bring a lot of blocks to go to the towers and to the portal without falling to the void.
Brutes cannot spawn, they only generate with bastions similar to shulkers or elder guardians
@@rubixtheslime i could put a bastion near the nether chunk so they generate there and with the end I could put shulkers all around the obsidian towers to make everything harder.
at this rate, youll beat the game faster by waiting for a cosmic ray to hit your computer and trigger the credits sequence
You could barter for gravel from piglins, skipping the need for lightning to hit the portal. You could also find diamond gear and netherite in bastions, helping you in the final fight. You could gather nether materials to create an epic base around this very world, all thanks to the nether update. How amazing!
You could theoreticly make it harder by saying that 1 end portal frame has to appear with cosmic ray bugging a frame into spawning. Or do the same thing witch basicly every block you see in this video...
This is like how it's theoretically possible to beat the game with wood tools and a hopper. Buckets are in villages, dispensers in jungle temples/witch drops, portal. Much harder than not ever collecting wood or leaves (fishing rod) because you have to transport those buckets.
i've played a lot of hard maps and finished a few but this skyblock map makes everything else look easy
Bruh you're insane XD
Edit : lol battle cats filibuster theme at 4:00
Me: wow that must be the hardest map!
My 5 friends: RagLeon you have 1 hour to create a harder one.
You can get a fletcher to level up the toolsmith with your infinite wood supply from the wandering trader... that's probably faster then killing 100million foxes for a few emeralds also you can then breed the villagers with another to speed things up even more
You can actually make the map even harder, as it is possible to play with just a grass block, remove the beehive and flower pot, and to have the obby and frames elsewhere (say 100 blocks away, where you can't immediately get to them (to truly "maximize" difficulty, you'd want to place them as far away as possible, so why not put each of the obby spaced out evenly along the worldborder))
Without the bees you can jump off the grass block into the void, and wait for sheep and spider spawns, then, when they do spawn, kill the sheep for wool, and the spiders for string to craft into wool. Once you get 24 blocks away to do the normal spawns, it proceeds like normal.
The rest of the challenge is the same.
(I've discussed a bunch with my friends about minimalist skyblock starts, we'd mostly focused on minimum block count, rather than "difficulty", but I can see how that would be a metric to strive for)
By “hard” I really meant complex. Of course, one could create a map that requires an insane amount of rng to complete, but that is not very interesting. The idea of the video is to create map that takes an absurd amount of brainpower and thinking to complete, while still keeping the integrity of skyblock. The luck and repetition needed to complete this map was really just a byproduct of its complexity. I did consider having only a lava caldron, solid block, and end portal for the entire map, but I felt that by removing the bee section of the map, the map lost alot of its complexity. From what I understand mobs are not be able to spawn in the precise spawn chunks so I didn’t consider jumping into the void as an option for the player, since if the map could not be in the spawn chunks, the player would just die in the void indefinitely. There are many smaller (but less interesting) maps that I have created such as one that involves powder snow and the lava one that I mentioned (which is similar to what you suggested), but I found that this map the most complex which is the reason I didn’t choose any of those options, but thank you for the thought.
@@tzemmiecat4923 Sure, there are many possible different configurations. If you really wanted just "the hardest to beat" or "the most complex" and just went by the metric, you'd start with some wacky escape rooms that make you do a few million hours of work before you can even start with the skyblock part, but that isn't really what the question is about.
Personally I think it's more interesting to consider the minimum number of starting blocks/items that can get you to the end, of which there are many combinations. My favorite is a single grass and a single lava block.
I haven't been able to think of a single block start that can get you into the end (other than ones I feel don't count; end portal, chest with items, command block, etc.).
@@haph2087 I get what you mean, and infact, size was originally the entire premise of the video. However, there are a few reasons to why I changed the direction of the video from size to complexity. If size is all that matters, then what is stopping me from just putting an end portal block at the spawn? What is stopping me from just putting a blaze spawner at spawn or a chest full of goods? I could say "If it spawns naturally, it is allowed." Except, end portals can technically spawn naturally. So then I could add "It must spawn naturally without glitches". But this would still allow things like chests with end loot, or activated end portal frames. I could then add "It has to be guaranteed to spawn in any given world". I could keep going with restrictions like this, but it would get over complicated for the purpose of the video. I guess the true premise of this video is to create the most complicated map that I could which still keeps the integrity of skyblock. I do see the interest of making maps that are as small as possible with restrictions, and I have actually have thought about making a video dedicated to that (since I have some ideas in mind), but I'm not too sure if people would watch it because it may be too similar to this video.
Then again, I may make a video of me actually playing an alternate map similar to the one in this video, so that may be a good time to showcase and think up maps that focus on the metric of size instead of integrity and absurdity.
@@tzemmiecat4923 I totally get it. Before you can get an answer, you have to figure out what the right question to ask is, and that’s not simple to find. What makes a skyblock interesting? I think some mix of a) being able to get as many items as possible, b) starting with as few and mundane items as possible, and c) having as many steps to “completion” as possible. Perhaps other things should be considered, or some of these aren’t great. It’s subjective, so at the end of the day, it’s up to you.
The amount of knowledge of mechanics you have to have to do this without a tutorial is amazing
Imagine getting so far in the game where you get a diamond pick only to have the obsidian you mined fall in the void
And that's why you pit wood under the platfrom

You don't need the grass block, you can replace it with a furnace.
You can kill a zombie to get an iron shovel and use honey blocks to go to a block with possible snowfall and get the snow block (with 4 snowballs).
In snow block is possible spawn the fox (if you are in taiga biome, to be more difficult you can start in another biome and go to taiga biome with honey blocks and/or snow blocks).
And the pigs?
You don't need the pigs, you can get gold nuggets by smelting zoombi's gold armor.
theoretically couldn't you just bridge over to the farming phase with the beehive and flowerpot? Since you can just break the first block and then place it after the 2nd block and repeat, you can skip the bee phase entirely
it's statistically impossible to do it. the chance of doing it 48 times in a row is like 10^48
or 1 in 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
the trick is so hard to pull of without you or the beehive falling into the void, even if you are good it's a 1 in 10 chance. Exponentially increase that across 48 times aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand no.
Even if you were mental at this VERY hard trick and did it 1 in 2 times. It would still be about a 1 in 1000000000000000 chance.

Techno: (casually farms potatoes after getting trees and a mob farm within the first 3 hours)
You actually don't need the obisidian, after aquiring hero of the village from completing a raid (which can be done with your one villager and a random patrol spawn) you can obtain lava from a villager gifting you a lava bucket (toolsmith/armorer can do this). With your one lava bucket you can create obsidian, to obtain more lava you can use dripstone provided by the wandering trader or just simply waiting for villagers to drop more lava.
On the wiki there is no lava in the gifs table
why would someone ever play this!? (really cool though :) )
“Hardest skyblock ever”
Technoblade, casually farming potatoes next to a pedestal with the dragon egg on it after only 6 hours: Bruuhhhhhh
This world that you created, is pain. And only that
You can just fall off the island, then you are 24 blocks away so mobs can spawn. So the intire bee part is not needed
Also you can use lava bucket with dripstone to get to obsidian, so only 1 block (rest is wandering trader/killing mobs)
Also you can get two villagers to make a villager breeder, and you can get emeralds in many ways if you do that, like selling crops (composter), etc
1. Mobs cannot spawn within the world spawn chunk, which is why you need to honey block outside 24 blocks in the first place.
2. Even IF mob could spawn, jumping into the void would only provide you with a few games ticks, and mobs take a long time to spawn, especially when there is only ONE grass block. It's probably faster to do his strat.
3. Where do you get that lava bucket and drip stone you mentioned? Idk bout dripstone, but the only way to get lava at all, without going to the nether, is to do the whole villager process, convert him into an armorer villager with blast furnace and hope u get the right rng for lava bucket trade, or else you start over. At that point, might as well just do the normal way he mentioned. Not to mention the dripstone too, which probably also needs the same trading process again, you're doing it TWICE!!!
1 is that the case? What is your source?
2 the video is about the hardest possible way, so this way would be better
3 you can't get lava from villagers. You have made that up. Armorer buys lava buckets.
1.17 introduced renewable lava (if you start with one), if you build it in this configuration
Lava (start with)
Dripstone block (crafted from pointed dropstone)
Pointed drilstone (wandering trader)
Cauldron (iron from zombies)
Once you get a villager you can make infinite so getting more emeralds is no problem
A island that is just a activated end portal, you have no choice but to enter it, now you have to kill the ender dragon with your fist, and it's stuck on peacefull, so no ender pearl from enderman, break the obsidian tower with your hand, and punch it until it dies. (Last time I checked ender dragon spawns on peacefull, I don't have the game it was the free temporary version, 3 years ago)
i wish there's some trick that allow the game to be more easy and speedrunable , one day someone will find that without need to use higher versions of the game.
Btw. The obsidian you can get by start with 1 lava bucket, trade dripstones, kill zombies for iron, duplicate Ur lava and also get water by rain to convert it into obsidian.
Ok this has earned a sub, this is hutterly hilarious lmao
This is neat, but it could be made worse by adding complications in the Nether and End as well.

Really goes to show the resourcefulness of the Minecraft characters making huge amounts of important things out of almost nothing.
I love that aspect of Minecraft.
Maybe to make it take even longer, instead of having 8 bedrock, have only 1 bedrock and one block of lava, with the rest of the 5 life's being encased in endframes and/or bedrock, so you have to generate the rest of the lava/obsidian yourself.
Preferably with the bedrock also being in the middle of the end portal, so you have to remove that to get to the end.

Quick note to anyone wanting to actually play this! If you want to actually do it, make sure to make a superflat map with the data "minecraft:air;minecraft:taiga" this way you can get the foxes to spawn at all. You could technically just make a villager farm, but if you want to use his method that's how :)
*EDIT:* Turns out this is actually required for it to work! Wandering traders are entirely incapable of spawning in the void biome, so you can't just use the void. Additionally, wandering traders actually require you to be more than 48 blocks out of spawn, so you're actually gonna need like 46 honey blocks. And then, at the end of that honey block path, you have to place the beehive (not bee *nest*, if you used a bee nest this is unbeatable) at the end of the path
Teacher: the test is not that difficult
The test:
I can't say this skyblock map is the hardest, but probably the most overcomplicated and frustrating I've seen.
I feel like trying to prevent the bee's from killing themselves will be the hardest part of this challenge.

Btw you can find gravel in bastion chests and if you can get a thunderstorm you can also mine the gravel, kill some zombies for iron, and craft a flint and steel
Ur videos is great, I think you should add some background music tho, keep it up
just have a respawn mechanic or a respawn anchor on the island and then it becomes like actually feasibly possible
You can remove all obsidian and replace it with only one lava source. So you need bucket and dripstone instead pickaxe
That makes the game easier. The point of the map is to make it as hard as possible. While a single lava block would reduce the initial starting blocks, having obsidian there with no lava, which is to say, no _moveable_ obsidian, you wouldn't need to go dirt > pig > gold > villager > diamond pickaxe in order to get obsidian.
And thus, chosen architect heard the filibuster theme from battle cats without even knowing it.
Tbh i don't think there is much very "difficult", this is just a long grind. But my respect to the mad man who do it, because I won't.

@@MyHandleIsAplaceholder do the honey even give any hunger bar?
if you walk you don't lose hunger
however many other actions do so they are basically limited
however you can just drop all your items in the center and jump off
This is a really cool concept, I like how it’s a similar roadmap to ProtoSky (by RaysWorks) but fundamentally very different since you don’t have access to any blocks other than honey (as opposed to having lots of nether resources in the case of ProtoSky
As far as endgame goes, you wouldn’t need to worry about the portal getting struck by lightning, don’t even need the diamond pick, since you can get lava from the wandering traders
I dont think you can get lava from traders in vanilla survival. Rays works didnt need lava because piglins could give you obsidian and I remember ilmango adding the lava trade to the trader for a skyblock series he did.
If it's a snowy biome you could go the route Pinu did with jumping off and getting a zombie to spawn with an iron shovel, and then harvesting snow for snow blocks instead of doing the honey thing
would be very interesting to see how fast this could be speed run although it is almost entirely reliant on rng and the speed runners skill would almost have no effect
TAS maybe?
Prototech calculated that the single grass fox emerald farm yields like 1 emerald per month
I'm wondering if it's even possible to play this in hardcore mode. Like you should be able to dodge the phantoms so that you lose minimal hunger. Then killing the wandering trader will get you close to no hunger. Now the question is can the honey sustain you to the point that you don't need to eat every single bottle you get? Like you need to spend quite some time after harvesting the honey to dodge the bees. That would be interesting. Also do they even eventually deaggro while you're in reach?
I'm pretty sure you could just scrap the bees altogether, and jump into the void to spawn mobs to get blocks.
They need to speedrun this one
this is actually easier than it is told in the video, sure it takes time but there are are faster ways or convenient ways to do it like just jumping off the platform to get mobs and ditching the bees
I am honestly so surprised how he managed to design this, awesome bro good job
idk how he came up with it but my thought process would be to work backwards from what you need. ultimate end goal is to get pearls and blaze rods. blaze rods --> need a portal --> lava or diamond pick to mine obsidian --> master blacksmith for diamond pick --> ... and so on. then you design the map with only the bare foundations for obtaining all that.

Why get enough fox emeralds to trade for gear with the toolsmith when it's faster to find and convert a second villager, enabling infinite emeralds through sticks (fletcher)? Bonus is you can then breed villagers using carrots, potatoes or bread, all of which are attainable at that point in progression on this map. You should be able to amass chests of emerald blocks this way faster than it would take to get a single fox emerald for the cheapest possible diamond pick (1 emerald with a 4/14 chance, when discounted with a single cure or HotV)
