Your playthrough is actually genuine. There are some who kill dragons in like 50 Minecraft days. But you're missing out so many stuff. The small andesite formations have lot 's of iron in them, probably like 40 ores. Mine them. Also, the big house 11:37 you went inside is a dungeon. You cannot break blocks or put down blocks due to an end crystal. So don't go there until you have enchanted diamond armour atleast!
The building at 11:38 is a 4 tower dungeon and is not to be messed with at all until you are decently equipped. You can't break half the blocks because of an end crystal at the top and is uncheesable, plus it has spawners for illusioners and evokers and wither skeletons in the mid/higher floors. The loot is absolutely goated however (enchanted books, way too many diamonds and emeralds, silver, gold, and also sometimes baubles. The thing under that structure also has a lotta bolts and arrows and some skeleton spawners and stuff. Dragons only spawn when new chunks are loaded. There are brewing stands in the 4 tower dungeon so when you become strong enough (maybe episode 10 lmao) you can make fire resistance potions and go kill a stage 5 dragon in a dragon nest to make a dragon eye. Make strength rings using the blaze rods at 26:04. The ghast tears from the same structure will be useful later on for whatever you need them for. You can change dragon spawn rates in the config files (I'm pretty sure). Also try to make some crates if not the backpack, the crates are like mini shulker boxes. Also make crates (the varied commodities ones from the carpentry table) cuz better storage. I would recomend building a stone (stone, not cobblestone) shelter for your first lycanite event or just exploring while it happens. Saber>Rapier, and you can use bronze stuff before iron stuff (I'm pretty sure, might want to look that up in the JEI). At least you want be lacking red dragon scales for your armour qualities lmao.
Btw the 4 tower also has wither skeleton skulls (I don't remember how many, but reapers also drop them so it shouldn't be that hard)... and you have 4 ghast tears in a chest from something... you can make a regeneration ring for passive regen later on after killing the wither. Beacons aren't worth it and waystones are for the lost cities (much later). Hippogryphs also drop leather if I remember correctly lmao.
yeah i knew the second i got into that building that I would be in for it and im not gonna change any files simply because its more fun seeing me get jumped by stuff 😂
I learned the hard way, in these buildings that are “protected by a powerful force,” DO NOT set your backpack down-it will vanish forever. Test by trying to set a torch down to see if you can place it.
