Crafting A Workbench In Terraria's Hardest Skyblock 

Thank you! That's high praise from the maps creator. I think the main reason I left hell was out of boredom, as killing nothing but lava slimes for hours is not particularly stimulating even if it is the most efficient way to progress. I probably could have got the workbench at around 8 hours if I didn't afk the sand

are you a masochist?

@@constantdemonics Me? Not exactly, I made the map that's torturing people, so sadist is probably more appropriate. Here's the thing though, I've seen concept maps that are far more cruel and unplayable. A skyblock run with no starter tools that requires killing harpies with falling stars during christmas to get blocks exists for example. Heck, this isn't even the hardest skyblock challenge I've made. That would be the secret "no mode" option in Brutal Skyblock.

The thumbnail concept just fit too well

I really like this style of thumbnail, it's simple, straight to the point, and it doesn't overload your senses.

@@sebaq I do associate it with videos with youtubers screaming in your ears, editing that makes sure you never click off, a bunch of filler to pad out watch time, and where you'd be lucky to not encounter misinformation. I guess I just can't like this thumbnail style anymore because of the people who use it.

@@justvictorgd I guess I don't watch that many Minecraft content

@@justvictorgd I hope you find better content brother

real,i honestly dont like this in terraria though

noooo better than slimes 💀💀💀💀💀

That only happens for mediumcore characters. I’m literally the creator of that strategy for skyblock lmao

@@ChiefLogan_ Wait then why did you not play on medium core then? it could've saved you a ton of hours

@matthewmccullough9336 because this map is not intended to be played in mediumcore. The challenge comes from figuring out how to obtain certain items, not from losing your items to the void

I hope you aren't memorizing the fandom wiki, as it isn't being updated (by people who know what they are doing) anymore.

@@notZabami No, I switched to the wiki gg one for v anilla pretty early on lol. But calamity... thats another story. Let's just say I thought clamity the clam was a real thing for far too long🤣

@@Redence680 good

If someone makes a terraria mod inspired by Better Than Wolves, we are so joeover.

@@ItzTerraYT terraria has a werewolf, it will gain another wolf in 1.4.5, So there is an opportunity

​@@ItzTerraYTI'd honestly love a mod like that

Yeah but there's a lot more than just wolves coming in 1.4.5 so naming it that is just a forced reference.

what's tdl?

You should definitely count your own! They’re what got me interested in making a skyblock in the first place, then when shimmer came out it all fell into place for ShimmerBlock. I don’t think I’ll want to do and skyblocks more grindy than this, in vanilla at least. I’m excited to see how 1.5 changes the meta though

​@@ChiefLogan_ Vanilla skyblock are reaching, if not have reached, the peek, i remember a few years ago that's when there was room for improvement and everyone was jumping on the skyblock thing, and shimmer brought a hole new realm of possibility's same goes with the secret seeds, so im thinking and hoping 1.4.5 will bring large changes which will allow people to make even more limiting and harder skyblocks, i mean we already know meteorite, the angler and some other stuff will be possible in i think every world and progression will be a lot faster due to slimes dropping acorns and such.

Leo Roswell also made super high quality videos with good explanations. Sadly, he hasn't finished the series yet.

@@crawdad105 Knowing what little I do about what's coming, Skyblock is probably going to get easier, not harder. Altars and dungeon supplies will always be available. The potential for interesting solutions is still there, but it comes down to how the first stone and dirt will be available, and at that point, it almost certainly will be a lot simpler than my cruel but interesting methods. I agree with vanilla having reached it's peek. I made a skyblock mod late last year with the thought that it'll be the last chance to make my "ultimate" version of skyblock before it's added to the game officially and made far more accessible to the general public.

@@Freedbot I'm hoping the new update will at least bring things that allow for a more complicated and restrictive world. i was also going to make a skyblock mod with the idea that it fallows basically the vanilla path but has some slight changes to make it slightly easier while still requiring grinding, i didn't get far though, basically all i got was snow clouds would spawn snow then i realized you had already made a skyblock mod so i didn't bother also making one. also not sure if you saw the video, it wasn't linked in your discord server, but Wild lmao made a video of "the Ultimate" terraria skyblock mod, i haven't watched the video but its a similar topic so i figured id mention it here.

Won't item drops increase with difficulty? So playing master mode would make things harder for yourself

Rookie numbers

That's definitely one way to experience your first full playthrough. How was it to someone without a lot of hours in the game?

​@@ChiefLogan_ it was the best playthrough I ever had, and it took 160 hours. Because everything was dangerous, and because I was playing on mediumcore, I was not eager to rush bosses or doing anything dangerous. So I would instead chill, fish, build and do other stuff I've never done. Except for golf, I'm not THAT bored. The results to taking things slow were great. I got anch shield, cellphone, endless buckets, golden fishing rod, stick of discord and a bunch of other items I never held in my hands before. I think I made a wrong impression with my comment tho, I've reached moon lord before. I just always loose interest after mech bosses because plantera golem and cultist are too easy for me, and marchians, eclipse, updated dungeon, biome keys and Halloween/christmas moons seemed pointless because you get the best weapons from pillars anyways. And I couldn't beat moon lord because I didn't understand how to fight him and refused to look it up. My problem all along was the fact that friends shamed me for liking defence reforging and being a tank, as it's for noobs and useless on higher difficulty anyways, and said pro players only do glass cannon builds. And for years i belived them. But this year i came back to terraria and desided to try the defence build. I liked it so much in expert mode I desided to drop my world and go straight into legendary.

Honestly defense builds are so much more fun to me than glass cannons too. Dying isn’t fun

By that time 1.4.5 will have completely changed the skyblock meta, and maps like this will either become way too easy to be seen as a challenge or entirely obsolete by some other, even more terrifying creation (it's me I'm gonna make the creation)

My Bro. My dude. A few people have done videos on my Shimmering Skies map. I have another map and a mod that have yet to see the light of day on youtube. I would be eternally grateful to anyone who "steals" that content.

@@Freedbot Hippity hoppity, could I potentially borrow your property?

@@ChiefLogan_ Well when you make another insane challenge, be assured that I will play it. I loved your Shimmerblock challenge, so I can’t wait to see what you make next

@@CrispyLink Brutal Skyblock is the map I made before Shimmering Skies. Skyblock Brutalism is the mod (and mod pack) I made as the successor to both maps. Both "Brutals" (yes I'm bad at naming), have built in progression choices that change how you play the map and how hard the puzzles are to solve. The hardest way to play either, is to choose nothing. The mod is especially in need of attention so that people know how to install the mod pack and look up the extra mod items in Recipe Browser to read their tooltips for hints.

Yes.

It certainly was! I gave credit in the description for the inspiration

It's what I'm most excited for in 1.4.5!

In the don’t dig up seed, mimics spawn in pre-hardmode and drop gold chest loot

@@ChiefLogan_ ok thanks, didnt know that

Some of us are scholars and some of us are warriors. It seems you chose the path of war

The hunger mechanic mostly just adds unavoidable deaths in vanilla skyblocks, but I did account for it in my Skyblock Brutalism mod. Basically, I just added some junky food from gel that's only good enough to keep you from death, making a hardcore run on Zenith seed technically viable... but certainly still insane. It requires speed and luck to get enough blocks and slimes in time... and I would never play it on those settings. Far too evil.

Unfortunately all torches get shimmered into Aether torches

@@ChiefLogan_ fuck man I was thinking, I thought surely if u could get wood from torches I wouldn’t have said it first

Tell me, how long did it take to get a workbench in yours? ;)

@@ChiefLogan_ wildlmao is playing MooMoo's skyblock mod, and yes I know MooMoo. Where my mod and maps focused on minimalism and convoluted progression, MooMoo focused on worldgen and abundance of resources. The challenge factor is just from wildlmao adding other content mods that add mobs.

He's playing MooMoo's skyblock mod, and yes, I know MooMoo. The guidebook code in it is from me. Where my maps and mod are focused on minimalism and convoluted methods to get rare blocks, his is focused on worldgen and abundance of resources. The only difficulty in wild's playthrough are from content mods adding more monsters, not the skyblock itself, and it's still not on the level of Calamity or similar. Don't get me wrong, it's still fun and the worldgen is beautiful.

Not enough try harder

The problem is most of the gameplay consists of me moving up and down a rope for 6 hours and afking above an antlion for 4

All in due time

Mimics can’t fall through platforms, so you can use that to your advantage

@ChiefLogan_ ill keep that in mind, maybe I'll make a small platform so those zombies can't hit me

I might why can’t we get pt 2

I am indeed

I know…… I invented that skyblock method

@@ChiefLogan_ then why not? ( OBVIOUSLY it’s not because of how hard it would be🙄)

Because that’s not the intended way to play this map

Since it’s not mediumcore, I would only be able to do that once

prob like 2 hours

Do you mean the subtitles at the start? If so, the text is all the same size
