1.19 Skyblock: No Water - No Lava - No Apples (Episode 1) 

Is there something missing at 34:22?

Ilmango: 45.000 withers killed per hours and obtaining command blocks in survival Also ilmango: Highlight of the episode: We eat a single piece of bread

A long time ago I learned that endermen can't pick up blocks beneath their feet level; if this is still true you could just keep the floor at block level (not slab height) around your nether blocks, and cover them from the bottom to keep them from getting hijacked!

I heard someone present the idea of cobblestone generators generating cobbled deep slate below y = 0. Thought that was a very clean way of adding renewable deep slate.

This reminds me of the vanilla one block challenge that just aired a few months ago, its very complicate aswell (even more)

I hope this series runs to completion, always liked skyblock. I see the phantom induced masochism

Love how he know about all kinds of crazy techniques and mechanics but doesn’t think about the super popular killing endermen with boats trick

That empty bottle will actually be very useful. Once you get a cauldron, it can take hours to fill up with water, but then once you get one source down you can fill the cauldron back up using the bottle and get a second source for the infinite water source.

Dude, missing that line of blocks to mine downwards when getting attacked by those phantoms had me laughing so hard 😂. I know how much that sucks in the moment, but it was hilarious.

Oh boy, ready to see the crazy mechanics they abuse, that i had no idea existed in my 10+ years of playing

Oh now THIS is a series I'm gonna obsess over

waiting for the second tree to grow was riveting. was at the edge of my seat the entire time

For those who wonder how the farm work, there is a lot of solid blocks on the other side of the trapdoors so the mobs will pathfind toward those blocks and fall.

You don't need to worry about Endermen picking up the Nylium. They don't pick up blocks that are covered on all sides (they don't create holes).

I would have made smelting dripstone give you calcite. Seeing as dripstone is essentially limestone and calcite is essentially marble. And you get marble when limestone is subjected to pressure and heat.

Note: When you sprint your first hit deals much more knockback can be useful if hypothetically you wanted to get a creeper off an unwanted place

I liked the explanation for the mobfarm behaviour, very interesting :)

Last time I was this excited for a new series was back when the peaceful challenge first started.

The return of one of my favourite series from your channel!

I like this unique technical singleplayer series! Both educational, and occasionally get to giggle at Mango's mistakes on simple things like timing his axe swings. I was expecting this to be another multiplayer series like the original Skyblock, but seeing how you handle all the progression yourself is going to be super unique and fun.

I absolutely loved this laid back style. Very reminiscent of my favorite let’s plays. Please keep this series up!

There is also a youtube chanel named pinu who have a series when he spawns in 1 grass block

Love this! Starting a skyblock and waiting for every single sappling to grow is a pain, but you got to a great start very quickly!

Super excited for this, an ilmango solo 'let's play' is a new thing as far as I'm aware! I much prefer the "talking to the audience" bits in general so this seems awesome in itself, this is definitely going to go interesting places :)

never thought i'd see the return of a skyblock series. Very very hyped

this is gonna be so fun to watch. Love your vids ilmango!

i learned a lot from the 1.14 series im excited for this one

Yay skyblock :)

remember that you need non dry biome for rain.

The shot were the phantoms chase you is really good ! The music is at the right timing and I love how you were in the worst position when they spawned. I just love it :D

god mango that cinematic was fire, Im very happy that you are able to do this content, I like skyblock definitely going to watch the whole series

Awesome ! Love to see you in a solo world , and a skyblock with that !

This will become one more legendary serie!!

It would be nice if you modified it a bit so that your hunger bar does not reset upon death (besides death by starvation)

Really looking forward to this series. Always enjoy the creativity skyblock requires

Great start, really looking forward to the coming episodes!

Awesome, this is gonna be cool! I like the implementation of lava through defeating a raid to get HotV, and maybe it would work for other things? Masons for amethyst buds, farmer for some kind of grass etc. Also, would be nice to see a naturally generated sculk shrieker somewhere in the world, since with it you can get catalysts and therefore sculk as a whole

I captured the beginning of this legendary let's play :)

This is super similar to my skyblock world. I started with a 2x2 of grass blocks, one lava block, and one oak sapling. After that I farmed enough trees to build your bare minimum resources mob farm and killed about 3k zombies to get the iron for a cauldron and thus water and cobble stone. Then the goal was to farm 144 gold armor pieces to smelt into enough gold nuggets to make two gold apples to cure villagers and the the game opens up wide. Mango you’re in for a treat with this series. I think it’s fascinating to have added a way to get lava in a vacuum via villager gifts, I wish this was in vanilla tbh. Also forcing yourself to farm emeralds from foxes is insane, I’d never try to do that personally which is why i included a lava block in my starting island.

I have wanted a new Skyblock forever. I am so glad you started this and hope it continues for a long time.

Watching paint dry with Mango

you could also compost logs and things for bonemeal

love a series like this, chill and cozy

I was just starting to rewatch the last Skyblock too. Excited!

This is crazy. At some point this has to be considered masochism. I love it. Can I ask, btw. How long did this one episode take? I mean from when you loaded into your world until the end of the video. How long did that take?

Hey ilmango, you can make a lot more stuff with your wood that you didn’t do in this video. 1: you can splurge on slabs and fences to make your platform safer and more comfortable for yourself 2: CHESTS! That way you won’t lose as much if you die again. 3: A composter only needs wood and you can spend some of those extra saplings to get a little extra bonemeal for your wheat, reducing your reliance on skeletons. 4: you already mentioned this one, but string from spiders to make a bed is definitely a worthwhile investment. You should probably make a dedicated spider farm where the spiders can climb upwards into the killing chamber and all the other mobs just fall into the void.

So psyched for this series!!! Absolutely loved following the 1.14 project

This is very exciting! Definitely making this run extremely difficult by changing up the rules. I seriously can't wait for the next episode!🙌

You could always stop a chicken from a jockey from despawning by getting it in a boat so you can keep it until you encounter another jockey so you can breed them and get an egg laying one.

Yes! I'm gonna watch the hell out of this series. Also, any particular reason for using stairs as the walls on the mob spawner?

Started my own (normal)skyblock world recently and have been watching your old series. Perfect timing.

Excited for this series. Love to see you address challenges

Could you make it where you keep your existing hunger bar after death? That would prevent the needless deaths you talked about in the beginning for hunger regen

Will you be playing solo all the way in this series or other members will join you? Please answer this question!

Love your dedication for this ilmango!

Thanks for the awesome content and great video!!

Two episodes later: "Alright that's the end dragon farm complete"

I was about to suggest that you smelt any gold armor you obtain into gold nuggets, but then I realized that a furnace will come after stone, stone after lava, and lava after only a ridiculous amount of progress.

Super excited for this series! In fact, I was just rewatching the 1.14 Skyblock series, one of my favorites on youtube.

I absolutely love this, I'm aware of how much time and effort will have to go into this series so I hope it pays off :)

would it be easier to convert zombies to drowned instead of trying to spawn them?

Can you place some boats around on the spawning platform to capture skeletons for burning? Keeps them from despawning

Skyblock is always fun to watch. This is a welcomed change of pace.

It's been years ago so my memory is hazy but i think i discovered your channel specifically through the skyblock series and enjoyed it immensely. Same for the server skyblock which happened few years later. I'm looking forward to seeing how this series will develop with all the new things added since previous run, your vast experience and the modded additions.

Shouldn't you use bottom slabs for expansion of the island?

This is so good to watch, the only downside is the wait between each episode, keep it up!

Literally making my way through the 1.14 SkyBlock. Looking forward to this treat as I finish the last series

Trapdoor trick is super smart. I'll definitely use it, thx!

i loaded this mod and didnt get the nether blocks in the world?

I am really hyped for this series, i love the challenge and how you resolve it. Certainly mind games.

I'm very much looking forward to this series!

Was bot expecting another challenge series like this. Very cool.

this is a really cool series, and I love watching you suffer through the hard skyblock experience hahah. Will definitely be watching this series everytime it comes out (cause scicraft hurts my brain sometimes...)

Loving the realizations and mistakes along the way, and then rolling with it. Look forward to episode 2 showing up

I watched the 1.14 skyblock series like 3 times it was so much fun!

I already re watched the last Skyblock 3 times, what a surprise to you on a new Skyblock

the 1.14 sky block was a serise i absoltly loved cant wait to see how this goes!

Heck yes! I'm super keen for this series, love your work, Mango!

can't resist to watch it! I believe you will keep going this series, thank you!

I love this series already! Looking forward to the next episode

Really enjoyes so far...looking for more in the future

Really excited for this series!

YES ! Finally skyblock i was waiting for a long time

Sick. And awesome. Reminds me of 8 years ago the start. But skyblock is really makes you think and use your Minecraft knowledge. Ultimate challenge.

I love skyblock and can't wait to see what you do with the series

I really enjoyed that time lapse. This is a cool series so far. Beginnings are always really interesting. I hope you save one grass for an easier sheep farm in the future. I didn't know you could get a bucket from a wandering trader. In my survival flat world without structures that would have been useful, but it still wouldn't have avoided the need for a bonus chest. I didn't get saplings in my flat world, but I got enough logs for a crafting table and beds plus apples to cure villagers.

Absolutely awesome ! Big fan of skyblock and technical minecraft , combined gets me maybe a little to excited ?!

I'm excited for this series, ready for the next video already!

Cool series. I always loved playing Skyblock

Best of luck with this challenge dude!

The run from the phantoms REALLY made me smile 🤣 I've been in the same situation many times 🔥 I absolutely love your doing skyblock

Just downloaded and excited to play along! Its been a minute since I have done a skyblock world.

Can't tell you how happy it makes me to see you make the pathing mob farm, it's always my go to in sky block ever since that old video on wandering mechanics 💜

Really enjoyed the episode can't wait for the next one👍

I have been eyeing Carpet Sky additions for a while ! Now I'm definitely going to play it

You can put an acacia log on top of the saplings to prevent the mobs from spawning on the dirt block while still allowing the sapling to grow since it ignores log and leaf blocks

i think modded skyblock experience would help in this series: - bottom slabs are your friends - you can build a slab/darkness based mobfarm for permanent access to mobs (1 slab at foot level space to hit them) - guard rails would be important if this was onelife/hardcore

This is great, I love your patience

love this series already

This might be my new favourite RU-vid series!
