I Built a PILLAGER CASTLE in Minecraft Hardcore 1.20 Survival Let's play 

NEW CASTLE BUILD WOOOOO What do you think??

Fwhip continues to do the "I transformed 'insert important minecraft location here'" and actually transformed it, It's so fun to watch his creativity let loose for a few hours rather than stick to a trend

I know it must have been irritating dealing with all those pillagers but I couldn't help but laugh every time you were covered in arrows. I can't wait to find out what you do next.

The way the valley kinda opens up, with the old raid farm there, and then leads into the castle is so cool to me. Surrounded by areas that are filled with lush forests and buildings, there’s something to be said for a barren area like that- as if maybe the pillagers drove out anyone who was nearby. Very fun!

that pillager army feels like a roaming pack of barbarians in a civ game - you see them early, then they dissapere, and later you're suddenly swarmed with them ruining everything.

I think it would be cool for the Castle to have a hidden Entrance Like an overgrown Tunnel or an old mine at the foot of the Mountain

Hey fwhip you have the best hardcore world out there. Even if someone mentions it or not(especially that sipover guy) we appreciate your hardwork and amazing video. DO NOT DIE.

I love the little illustrations fWhip does of his builds. They look so cute and really help to visualise what he wants to build

10:30 bringing the stream all the way down to the river bringing the stream all the way down to the river

Amazing build as always fWhip, reminded me a lot of the Grim lands from Empires S1. The pillagers gathering for a rave in the stone circle had me cracking up 😂

You should do a similar castle design somewhere around the world, but with villagers so we know where the pillagers got their castle

41 minutes of absolute delight! Such an awesome episode!!!! Thank you for everything you do fwhip, you are amazing!

All the way to the river- ALL the way to the river Fwhip I love watching your videos. Thanks for bringing me joy on this stressful day.

40:35 that shot of the farm house, pillager base and world tree looks awesome. Really shows the scale of the world.

Fwhip, you are the absolute god at minecraft hardcore, not only surviving for 2 years but creating the most amazing world ive ever seen. You are my intense inspiration. Thanks for taking this career path and entertaining all of us. Peace out god.

All of the pillagers gathered at the Stonehenge should become a world lore bit, like they were having a celebration for their improved base.

No joke this might be my new fav video of yours! I love seeing more niche builds and this was so unexpected of a concept but makes perfect sense! The trees are also absolutely lovely! This checks all my boxes i love it so so much! Ps. If you wanna add another small-ish detail: pillager outposts can spawn with stacks of logs lying around them so maybe try including some stumps in your forest like the pillagers cut them down for crossbows and arrows

had a really bad and rough night last night, and seeing this video has given me calm and comfort when i really needed it. thanks so much for all the work you put into this

I really love the view on that valley, with the mountains on one side, the castle on the other. When I just saw you building this awesome castle and the forest, I had the idea that you could build an actual taiga/spruce forest further to the north, it sounds like a fun project for a series of streams, as you did it with the mountain.

I don't think there is ever gonna be a YT series I continue to watch for such a long time period. You're able to amaze me with each new episode and I hope it will go on forever ✌

I've always wanted to make a boss fight arena with the outpost, the ability to have a raid start there, as well as ability to spawn a warden below and have it shoot up to the surface, and then some way to have a wither without it damaging the build

I appreciate how you explain why you build certain details, it helps me change my thought process behind my builds

Love the new build! I do think the beetroot field should be swapped out with a dead bush field so it looks like no one has tended the fields since the pillagers arrived

And another amazing build done! I don't know about Fwhip but I'd think having Pillagers to kill mid building was not only irritating but also maybe therapeutic. Like just letting the small rages out of them interrupting haha.

I really love the design of the custom spruce trees! Great work with that Fwhip!

Crazy how you can make something look pre recorded and live at the same time. Kudos to your comentary and editing

That mountain is cool, it just needs some small builds over it like a couple tents on a camping site and other small things just to add a little detail. Cool ep keep up the good work

Love it! (your porcupine impersonation was hilarious too 🤣 ) One thing you could do is spawnproof outside the castle with dirt path, tilled dirt, and moss carpet, so they only spawn inside. If you added a temporary-looking wooden barricade so they couldn't escape, you'd have a safe (and incredibly stylish) Bad Omen farm right next door to your raid farm :D

Ever since you tamed pillagers for your magic police, I’ve had an ongoing fantasy of doing exactly this! However, my thought has been to tame them and place them in a premade base. I don’t think I have the courage to work on a live Pillager outpost!

The end transformation is absolutely the coolest thing ever.

Those pesky pillagers chasing you around and shooting at you the entire time had me laughing throughout the whole video 😂 definitely one of my favorite episodes so far

genuinely one of the most talented builders i've ever seen, ive gotta say ive been watching fwhip for years and just watching the growth in the attention to detail in his builds is so cool! so rad

This build process looks so painful but I can't help but appreciate the comedy! Thank you porcupine fWhip!

What a new episode! I wasn't expecting that!! IMPRESIVE!!

You should start a raid in front the castle...so it gets a lot more populated:). I will go crazy and nametag some trapped pillagers on the wall, to protect that beautiful place Great build!

that mountain looks absolutely stunning. the castle is so much more than those pillagers deserve! i wonder how much more material would be needed if you filled in all the spaces when terraforming.

woahh the interior of the farmhouse is so pretty it gives off golden light

40 hours turned into a 41 minute video for us...This dude is a legend!!

Really loved this castle build. I could recognize some historical design elements.

Hey fwhip love the vid!! But what if build a few mountain lodges or a small mountain village, I think it would be really cool plus it adds some lore.🙃🙃🙃

fWhip 2021: There is a name tagged Zoglin on the loose in my world right now fWhip 2023: Somewhere in the world is a massive pillager army that I might have lost ...I'm sensing a pattern here.

We have been waiting for this transformation for soo long and now it’s finally here!

ive been waiting so long for a pillager build... glad to say was i not disapointed.

i just wanna say, ever since i binged your whole 1.20 series i’ve gotten so many new ideas for the buildings i’m making

Great video! Btw I think there might be a voice recording error at 10:30 when talking about bringing the stream to the river? I dont know if it matters or if there even is anything to be done about it, but i just wanted to let u know.

Fhwip never dispointes to deliver a good video and a new more beautiful looking building in his hardcore series

Loved this one, really wanna see that whole valley terraformed!

This video has reminded me of how much I would love to have a faction system in Minecraft where you have the choice to side with the villagers or the pillagers. Siding with the villagers would just be normal Minecraft, but if you side with the pillagers, whenever you enter a village, you start a raid but you're a part of the raid. Also pillagers and related mobs won't become hostile (letting you be able to ride ravagers) and you'd be able to trade with them.

Its giving Capricorns castle from the movie Inkheart. It also has a village thats really dilapidated and broken. Give Inkheart a watch! I could see a small village nearby thats ruled by the pillagers, chickens on the loose, sad looking fields, you know? 💜💜💜

35:31 How Fwhip is avoiding those Pillagers is how i avoid my problems

2:45 im sure someone already answered it, but the crossbow item is slightly bigger because the string is pulled back to the loaded position, while most other crossbows strings are in the unloaded position. its an 8.5% chance drop from pillagers without looting and 11.5 with looting 3. kinda rare drop

This castle kind of reminds me of a Jagdschloss (hunting lodge), because they typically don’t have a lot of towers. I really like this build, especially with the white washed walls and the dark roof. Nice build! :)

Super enjoyed this, thank you! Particularly building it into the landscape. The cute lil house at the end was a joy. (and the unexpected pillager army had me lol'in). Thanks for sharing!

Been loving this series, it has provided a needed distraction during difficult times. Please keep the videos coming!

I love this! It looks so cool and adds more story. Such a good episode. And, yes, it was worth it!

I love the ruined asthetic of the castle. I would love to see you continue that asthetic with the rest of the valley. I feel like maybe a dark forest theme with kind if like the spiders from harry potter, it would match the gloomy feel of the ruined castle

Fwhip those mountains look so magnificent!! It’s an absolute work of art, very well done 👏🏼 👏🏼

I love, love, love the build and your sense of humor throughout the video. Very entertaining to watch fWhip!

fWhip, you are one of the best Minecraft builders in the world... I love watching you build! I love your attention to detail as you create beautiful structures and incredible landscapes. HOWEVER, it grinds my gears that you rarely complete interiors... A building is not done without a completed interior.

Im begging you to do a raid there again and build an army of iron golems then watch from a distance to see who wins. Watching all the pillagers running around had me in stitches.

From what ive seen looks amazing, like always, you are what helps me build.

This north side has so much potential for future builds. Like what the original use of the castle was for, maybe protecting people that used to live there? Could add some more buildings nearby or some weathered artillery outside it.

Watching these videos when I come home from school always makes my day better thank you fwhip ❤

All the progress you've made is astonishing, can't wait to see what happens next!!

fWhip, this is amazing. I know how hard it is to do natural builds and you did it so good!!!

your creations are incredible, Hope you show them off more! The world you created is beautiful

That was so much fun! Would love to see a quick tutorial on your tress....more of block for block for beginners

hearing you so triumphant when a pillager despawns just really drives home how frustrating it was

This episode was INSANE fWhip, it was so fun

Here’s an idea, make some passive pillagers to roam the castle

This is my new favorite episode! I've been watching for years and I'm not much for commenting...so ya awesome job dude! Love the chaotic building project, the castle looks great.

I couldn’t help but just watch amazed how many pillagers there were. Like it’s just a swarm of pillagers, it would be fun if you counted a bit how many pillagers you killed. I bet it will be more than a thousand, also many youtubers do ‘i transformed’ but here you do it for real

Just a personal preference for me, I would have made the farmhouse abandonned and the field somewhat overgrowned, telling that the previous owners left after the pillagers set up shop in the castle. But that's just me, it's your world :)

I love this video! Can you do a stream where you go in and add detail/interiors to a ton of random builds you have in your world. I think it would really gel with the lore!!

Step 1: Kill Banner Guy, Step 2:DRINK MILK!!!

Fwip always does lives around the time I get out of school so I always end up falling asleep while watching, so I'm always surprised when he uploads lol

never a bad day when it starts with a new fWhip video from his survival world

I’d love to see what fwhip could make on a creative world with world edit etc as well as a survival series

Thinking whilst watching "hmm it'll be a nightmare if they came from the castle into a raid" 😂😂😂 Thank you sir for another epic grind (in HC) which others wouldn't even dare to do, this is what makes your HC videos so fun. Also I'm very invested...don't get to dangerous!!!

I ❤this! Such a cool idea. The castle really feels alive with all of the pillagers.

I simply ADORE this build fwhip!! ❤

seeing all the pillagers swarming triggered my fight or flight lmao that’s so anxiety inducing!

I always wondered if you would transform the Pillager Outpost. And Fwhip does not disappoint

40:35 The grandma of the pillager leader is definitely who lives in that little farm house.

I'm currently working on building my dream castle in Minecraft, this gave me so much inspiration! What a wicked cool build!!

Wow what an amazing castle! And such a challenge of course with all the Pillagers doing target practice on you. The build style almost reminds me of the Grimlands from Empires S1. Which kinda makes me think that the area surrounding the castle should be a bit more trampled and dead. Maybe add some broken carts and barricades. And the farmhouse could be ruined, I think.

It remains me a castle in Czech republic - Carlstein. Thumbs up!

25 SECONDS LESSGO NEW RECORD FOR NOTIF. CLICKING!

As someone who's made a sort of Bandit Camp out of a Pillage Outpost, though notably much less impressive than yours, I can firmly say: Hats off to you good sir as they are certainly a pain and I can't imagine trying it in Hardcore.

I think it would be lend to the lore of the world if you had some destroyed village houses in the area as well. That would reinforce the idea that the pillagers took over the castle and surrounding area fell into disrepair. However, the do understand the importance of feeding themselves, so they keep someone tending the farm so that one house still looks like it did when they took over and drove the villagers out.

Just memorizing, such beautiful work. Thank you. Inspiring for sure

fWhip you are very inspiring for new builds and having a great ole time!

36:54 the cow definitely needs a name now that it is a pillager :D

Great episode. Might steal this concept in my world (which is definitely not hardcore).

fWhip, I think you need a wool farm specifically for light grey wool

Dude so much happened in this episode. So much progress in the world in one vid.

I had a pillager outpost transformation idea once I just never found the right outpost for it. I basically wanted to build a pirate ship and the pillager spawns acting like the crew. Only problem is I needed to find an outpost that's surrounded by ocean or river biome in order for me to do this. I won't bother having to terraform a plains into an ocean.

lol this one was a fun one! At least for us to watch :D actually building with the pillagers around must be a pain but awesome video!

This transformation does scream Talmberg from Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I’ve been thinking about that throughout the process. Well done fWhip!

This Pillager Valley and Castle is so beatiful, but i think a few traps and spikes would make a great addition. So like that the Pillager had to defend themselves and never cleaned after them
