Thanks for checking out today's episode building a new TUFF castle in hardcore!! I'm really happy with how this has turned out. What do you think?

ngl that castle looks tuff

Fwhip: let’s look at the castle from a distance
Me: *squinting hard to make out shapes and colours* nice

The castle looks so good!! The only suggestion I can make is that the telescope looks like it's about to fall out of the slot in the observatory. Maybe add a large gear underneath to support it, and explain how it can move? Happy birthday, and keep doing what you're doing, it's amazing!!

Chiseled tuff is arguably the best block in minecraft.:_fWhipBigBrain::_fWhipBigBrain: HAPPY BIRTHDAY FWHIP!!!:_fWhipPOG::_fWhipPOG::_fWhipPOG:

Just an idea, but id really like to see some kind of "I upgraded my Workspaces" Video. Like a Lumberjack-shack where you're choping spruce and acacia wood. Also you could upgrade the ride into the mines. Like some random little caves you go through while you descend to get more deepslate or tuff.
But of course build what you feel like, because its still all incredible.

This is unreal at this point. Someone needs to come out at mojang and credit this guy with having the greatest Minecraft world to ever exist and continue to exist even besides the fact that it’s hardcore. It’s so impressive. Only thing I keep thinking now is how you can keep adding lore to it or factions for a story

Copper Aging tip: if you place a layer of oxidized blocks down then place copper you want to age on top it will go faster than spacing it out. If you place oxidized slabs underneath that will also help speed it up more. Hopefully that could save you some time. The space under path would probably work well since you're around for projects and gathering materials a lot

I wanted the copper trap door recipe to be ingots instead of blocks, but not having to deal with the aging process on those was worth using the blocks instead. Oh well....

2:40 missed opportunity to say "not too tuff to find"

I'm glad I can finally actually look at these a day before now that I'm caught up! Happy Late Birthday as well. :_fWhipHeart:

In a previous video you asked for name suggestions for the village. I suggested that you name it Way, enabling a path to Way and a way to Path. In a similar vein, I would suggest naming this build the Castle High, or just High Castle - then, you could ALSO have a "high"way connecting it to the other builds.

I've loved this entire series, as I appreciate your focus on roads and interconnectedness, with all those farms laid down in-between everything. It's so beautiful!!

“Hey hello fellow kids” 😭😭😭 31:43

Fun fact about powdered snow; its our fault. The biome update that added it had a community poll to decide what biome was getting overhauled first, and mountain won the vote. So we have no one to blame but ourselves for voting for 'snowier snow'.

Having the castle on to of the hill reminds me of visiting Neuschwanstein castle as you have to hike up to it or pay for transportation up the mountain.  Visiting all the castles in Germany was a fun trip.   We even stayed in one.   If you decide to go, make sure you go when the Rothenburg festival is happening.   It is worth going to.

I personally like this castle and the idea that it’s very difficult to access.  However, I recently got done climbing a 13,000 foot tall mountain at 45+ degrees, so I can tell you that the natural slope is NOT gonna cut it for inaccessibility, hence the wandering trader.
My thoughts on improving the mountain to fit the lore include maybe making some ice-spike fields, cliffs, or glaciers.  Basically some kind of terrain detail that makes it fit along those lines.

Fun fact, telescopes never extend our of the dome of observatories. That's a pop science myth. The point of the dome is to protect the telescope from weather

The tuff castle is giving me Winterfell vibes from Game of Thrones- absolutely love it!!!

The wandering trader is the resident wizard who happens to have teleportation powers which the castle residents are unaware of (unaware of the powers) but hes just kind of there and they just accept it because he knows astronomy and they need the map charts for their trade with new papyrus :3

Get yourself some leather boots when building around those mountains. Keeps you from falling into powdered snow.
