I Spent 12 Hours Finding Clay in Minecrafts Most Realistic Mod 

My guy just did Christopher Columbus 1. Discover random natives 2. Take their stuff 3. Leave

That tree glich feels like a comedy relief character at this point 😂

I really enjoy your lowkey editing and more subdued talking style. This overhyped and yelling youtube meta is just exhausting and the fact that these videos are about what I've wanted to see a serious series on for so long is just the icing on the cake

The concept of clay is enough to send shivers down my spine. I hate clay and everything it stands for. Every modpack always manages to make crafting with clay the most miserable thing ever.

20:28 Congratulations on gaining Citizenship within the glorious British Empire

When you said this video was "already 40 minutes long" at the end I was flabbergasted. I could've sat here for 3 hours watching you play this pack. I am absolutely in love with this older style of content and am beyond thrilled to see it being brought back some. 100% subscribing, liking, commenting, and ringing the bell

Love that you got your friends to play as natives, and ended with them regearing for revenge. Feels very early yogscast like having israphael show up randomly. Looking forward to the next part now !!!

Becoming a chemistry major just to play gregtech and becoming a smith just to play this pack

I ended my last Terrafirmacraft playthrough because I couldn’t find kaolinite. Flew around for like 5 hours in creative and still couldn’t find any. Absurd

Man, TFC is my comfort mod. I remember being a kid and playing it, and every playthrough I would just rush getting as many fruit trees as I could and just tending to my garden. Such a relaxing mod for some reason, thanks for reminding me it exists

I've picked up TFG few month ago and this is the best videos you could find on youtube related to this modpack. All other ones have 25 episodes 40 minutes long and your fast paced videos are really nice to watch! Small tip from me, if you mess up crafting with clay, you do not lose clay unlike the stone

Good stuff Hecuba, you passed half a million views on your first video! I love this style of modded playthrough; you're knowledgeable, read comments, and skip boring bits. Fantastic.

I love your format cause it’s like old Minecraft playthroughs meshed with modern “100 days” series. Your videos are really fun to watch.

using the map like a neolithic satellite to target a drone strike is hilarious

man, I've spent so much time looking for graphite in marble and other standard graphite rock, only to see that they changed where it spawns like 3 solid hours later. Looking for kaolin was a bit better, but still painful, despite all that, I'm still glad I didn't give up on this modpack, I can feel it getting deeper and deeper as I progress

Just got randomly recommended this channel, through the last video of RealisticGregTech, and now this one. Just .. out of the blue the algorithm was like "this shi' is cool af" and I gotta admit, it is, can't even lie, love the editing, love this concept, NO clue what horrors GregTech is about but it's fun content.

I started playing this modpack after watching your video, and I just got to this point last night, and I wasn't sure what to do next. You came in clutch, I FW you, Cuba.

Yeah kaolinite was really hard to find so I just edited the game files for it's generation so i don't have to go so far. Also for the anvil, there is a resource pack that shows you the numbers of the markers and the anvil actions.

There's something incredibly appealing, captivating dare I say, about people recording these grindy, slow modpacks. Great video, hope to see more!

The long, whole playthrough videos are great for people who prefer watching these in supercuts or are able to handle the barage of information sometimes thrown at the viewer. The shorter, more frequent, let's play style videos are great for keeping an audience and for feedback on the series. Ultimately, it's up to you, I personally enjoy both forms of gameplay content, but what's my opinion in a sea of thousands

I love the calamity music and chill vibes

Your video is blowing up because this mod-pack is trending. Just a well timed video in a time where demand for it was high.

It's funny clay is so tough to track down in this pack since the literal definition of loam means to have dirt that contains sand and clay. If you take loam and mix it into water, you can let the water settle a little to remove the dirt and sand. You pour off the water into another container and let it evaporate. Sure, it's time consuming but you can literally get clay from dirt. And what do we see here in your intro talking about iron? Loamy soil. And what the first block the cursor is hovering over after the intro? Loamy dirt path.

It’s disingenuous to yourself to say that prayer alone got attention to your video. Your take on the editing style is thoroughly enjoyable and I couldnt wait for this next part to drop!

Your channel blew up because of your ability to translate a mundane activity into a exciting activity that is easier to understand, god has not only answered you but given you gifts to be able to do this i hope you take off

Please don't play GT:NH, not only will it be bad for you mentally but it won't be very interesting to watch. Neurotic Goose is already doing a GT:NH series by starting from nothing and he's starting to notice just how ungodly the grind gets in that pack, that and it takes him days to record footage for a single video with most of it being cut out anyways since most of it isn't of much substance. The only thing keeping his GT:NH series alive is likely his sense of humor, but humor alone won't be enough to keep a long-standing series going without cutting a lot of corners. For your own sake, and for the sake of everyone here, please do NOT attempt GT:NH.

3:02 I think why this is because this mod can reach a wider audience. I, for one, don't know a thing about gregtech and found you though the first video. It can be understood by most people and tbh, who hasn't had daydreams about being stranded and having to build everything from scratch.

Minecraft bricks are already annoying enough but man, this is torture 😭 Cheers for you for getting through this, you deserve the attention your stuff is getting o7

This 40 mins flew by real quick. I didn't even realise that I watched a 40 min video before you mentioned it at the end. Loved it. You kept me watching the whole video that I lose track of time😂😂 good job. I'm sure everyone else was like this as well.

I think a large reason this video is doing better is twofold: it is longer, and people are watching for longer--the algorithm likely would punish you (i.e. not show the video) if people don't watch much of it, but because it wants to keep people on RU-vid a long video that is mostly watched is a high pirority for it to show to people

I'm really loving this series and this Calamity mod music adds a nice touch, keep up the good work! Cheers from Brazil.

Love the video, didnt realise how bad kaolinite was to gather, tempted to try a tfc pack myself, really want to try make a castle in these conditions

I love calamity music, keep up those bangers !

Yayyyy! ep 2 is already out! hate everything on yt lately, but i found your first episode and loved it. glad to see this is out so soon. hope it goes on a while!

I suggest writing down your solutions for the blacksmithing puzzle for commonly smithed items. It will SERIOUSLY help with muscle memory and you'll be smithing in half the time

Playing this modpack on a server with friends because of your first video and the journey of finding clay in the new world was some of the most fun I have ever had playing minecraft.

Hey dude, I love your videos. The editing is done really well, very subtle but no part of the video is unnecessary or boring which makes them really entertaining to watch. Awesome work, you absolutely deserve that your channel is doung so well and I'm excited to see where your RU-vid journey goes ^^

You know how long i’ve been waiting for this? Woo i’m boutta make a name for myself here! No seriously i loved the first episode and was checking your channel every day for the second one, great stuff.

Im not even religious but hearing that "god has helped" is so heartwarming. Yeah bro, God has probably put a finger or two in this but your content is really really good. Keep up man 😁

Loving the videos! Glad I caught this series as it was coming out! Another tip! You can blacksmith an ingot easily into 2x rod, but putting that diagonally in a crafting grid with a saw will net you the same amount of bolts as if you where smithing them, you can also just file ingots to make rods as well! Though that info becomes useless after you hit LV age,

Sometimes the algorithm shows me the weirdest stuff in existence, others it shows me pure gold.

this is already a peak series. keep it up man

I used to watch these types of videos all the time as a little kid and your last one (of this series) popped into my recommended! Love the style and your soothing voice, I probably watched your last one three time bc i kept falling asleep

Thank you so much for starting to upload more stuff again! you have no idea how much it makes me happy to see you upload. Having a tough time last 2 months and this helps with my mental health and not thinking about you know what :D

after your last episode i tried the modpack myself and i can only say that the titel of the video is accurate xD i spent about 6 hours trying to find clay . i really enjoyed the episode and hope for more, keep up the good work!

I found your last video and I watched it and I instantly fell in love with this mod pack and I dragged my cousin to start a play through. Thank you for shining the light on this.

Hecuba's favorite activity is getting kaolinite.

This series is such a fun watch! I love the laid back presentation

Loving this format. I know it's a lot harder to make these videos than the usual LPs everyone makes, but those are so boring to watch. They barely cut out anything, so they end up needing like 5 episodes to reach bronze. Meanwhile, man's over here getting ready for steel by the end of episode 2. Great stuff. Subbed. Keep up the good work!

*HOLY CRAP HE'S BACK SO SOON* Not to flex or anything but I'm deep in MV in Monifactory rn and my next project I'm putting off is starting an ME system. So take that! I desperately hope to see you hit AE2 one day in this pack. It's gonna be a while

This might be the most enjoyable survival lp I’ve seen in years. Don’t have the time I used to but was really looking forward to this after the last episode, and looking forward to the next one. Hope this continues to blow up, really want to see where it goes. I remember thinking about what it would be like to combine tfc and Greg the first time I saw how tfc generated ore veins when etho played tfc ages ago. Better than I envisioned it being!

You and that Goose, you just come outta nowhere and give us the Minecraft we crave. Keep it up!

i am so happy you're continuing this

Format of videos that you use in this series is quite rare in youtube due to amount of work and instability in uploading schedule. But it´s so much more fun and even more when used in the modded minecraft series

I think what stands out to me about these two videos that I think made them blow up is the good audio quality and the concise way you speak. What makes me turn off 90% of minecraft videos is poor mic quality and really meandering dialogue. You practically never "um, uh" so the content doesn't fade into background noise. I would attribute their success to your effort and preparation, no need to give god all the credit.

A lot of people watch it because there are no good videos about TFG and TFC. You're kind of the only guy who does it, good luck

Incredible video, love the format! Keep it up man, and good luck for the rest of the series!

beacuse of you i started playing this modpack too and that fucking kaolite was soo impossible to find i needed to shearch for it on creative, worth it tho

2:59 idk what other people were thinking before watching but i was like "maan, its been a while since i last saw TerfirmaCraft, is there anyone even playing that mod?" And than i found you and im glad to.

please keep these coming! decided to play this pack after your last video and am having a blast, plus your videos are helping me progress at a reasonable pace.

Okay, but the fact that the whole *sequence* there (1:36) was on beat? 😘👌 Art, cinema, flawless. Bravo!

Through the lord, you can do all things. Even make a successful minecraft channel without having a major scandal or clickbaiting. Godspeed.

20:07 "Actually, their base was made of a lot of bricks, I wonder if I could 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒍 some" *Payday 2 music plays* amazing editing choice!

found your channel about a week ago. Absolutely loved the last terrafirma episode as well your e2e video. Subscribed and very excited to see more from you!

I can absolutely sit down on my bed at sunday watching whole series of this mod. The story telling and the way you talking is just flow me deep down into this video, cant wait for a new episode

loving the long format content

Started a server for TFG. just got mauled by a skeleton and had to spend 20 minutes explaining what knapping is.... I love my friends so much!

for anyone wondering if this is multiplayer. apparently he brought his friends as competitors to make early games more interesting.

It's gratifying to have found your channel now, I hope it has the growth it deserves!

I actually started playing this modpack after seeing your first video on it. I've put so many hours into it already

I absolutely love this series of yours and can't wait for what's next to come

this format of video blows up just because it is so cozy.

Yes!!! So glad you're doing these, I'm enjoying it immensely. Edit: Congrats on finding the kaolin clay haha. I like the look of the tile oven!!

I love how good you are at the game but more importantly at explaining and editing. you deserve it all

ive been playing this modpack for the past few weeks and these videos have already been so helpful lmao

Hecuba leaving the colder biomes is literally just indo europeans getting tired of northern and central europe and leaving for the mediterranean

Your channel its soo chill to watch, i wish there was more videos like this.

the nearest Kaolinite/ tropical climate I found was 13.5k blocks from my base, only like 8 hours of exploration

I am a big fan of how these videos are made! I enjoy the somewhat chaotic style, and it is very engaging and fun to watch!!! Great job, can’t wait for the next one!

I LOVE SPENDING HOURS FINDING CLAY IN A VIDEO GAME‼️‼️🗣️🗣️

I'm new to this channel, and when i saw your last video i thought it was gonna be a one shot, but i was very pleasantly surprised to see this video pop up on my feed

Laughed at the “I’m not prosperity gospel” comment, boy is that refreshing. God bless you, brother in Christ

LORE!!! OMG i have really waited a long time for someone to make videos like these again. These have been some of my favorite watches, half because of how interesting the modpack is, but also just bc these feel like what the modded stuff i watched in 2012 matured into.

Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material containing clay minerals (hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, e.g. kaolinite, Al2Si2O5(OH)4). Most pure clay minerals are white or light-coloured, but natural clays show a variety of colours from impurities, such as a reddish or brownish colour from small amounts of iron oxide. A Quaternary clay deposit in Estonia, laid down about 400,000 years ago Clays develop plasticity when wet but can be hardened through firing. Clay is the longest-known ceramic material. Prehistoric humans discovered the useful properties of clay and used it for making pottery. Some of the earliest pottery shards have been dated to around 14,000 BCE, and clay tablets were the first known writing medium. Clay is used in many modern industrial processes, such as paper making, cement production, and chemical filtering. Between one-half and two-thirds of the world's population live or work in buildings made with clay, often baked into brick, as an essential part of its load-bearing structure. Clay is a very common substance. Shale, formed largely from clay, is the most common sedimentary rock. Although many naturally occurring deposits include both silts and clay, clays are distinguished from other fine-grained soils by differences in size and mineralogy. Silts, which are fine-grained soils that do not include clay minerals, tend to have larger particle sizes than clays. Mixtures of sand, silt and less than 40% clay are called loam. Soils high in swelling clays (expansive clay), which are clay minerals that readily expand in volume when they absorb water, are a major challenge in civil engineering. The defining mechanical property of clay is its plasticity when wet and its ability to harden when dried or fired. Clays show a broad range of water content within which they are highly plastic, from a minimum water content (called the plastic limit) where the clay is just moist enough to mould, to a maximum water content (called the liquid limit) where the moulded clay is just dry enough to hold its shape. The plastic limit of kaolinite clay ranges from about 36% to 40% and its liquid limit ranges from about 58% to 72%. High-quality clay is also tough, as measured by the amount of mechanical work required to roll a sample of clay flat. Its toughness reflects a high degree of internal cohesion. Clay has a high content of clay minerals that give it its plasticity. Clay minerals are hydrous aluminium phyllosilicate minerals, composed of aluminium and silicon ions bonded into tiny, thin plates by interconnecting oxygen and hydroxide ions. These plates are tough but flexible, and in moist clay, they adhere to each other. The resulting aggregates give clay the cohesion that makes it plastic. In kaolinite clay, the bonding between plates is provided by a film of water molecules that hydrogen bond the plates together. The bonds are weak enough to allow the plates to slip past each other when the clay is being moulded, but strong enough to hold the plates in place and allow the moulded clay to retain its shape after it is moulded. When the clay is dried, most of the water molecules are removed, and the plates hydrogen bond directly to each other, so that the dried clay is rigid but still fragile. If the clay is moistened again, it will once more become plastic. When the clay is fired to the earthenware stage, a dehydration reaction removes additional water from the clay, causing clay plates to irreversibly adhere to each other via stronger covalent bonding, which strengthens the material. The clay mineral kaolinite is transformed into a non-clay material, metakaolin, which remains rigid and hard if moistened again. Further firing through the stoneware and porcelain stages further recrystallizes the metakaolin into yet stronger minerals such as mullite.

Love the format of the vid and love that you spoke openly about your believe (finally found a youtuber I truly love watching)

*I use your video as a guide. Love it!*

absolutely loved these two videos in this series, but i have to ask you to switch the order of them in the playlist, when you click on the playlist you end up watching in the wrong order lol

You can make a greg tech coke oven for charcoal, its more efficient than the underground charcoal burning as it gives 1:1, plus you get creosote as a byproduct. Only takes clay sand and wood to make too so its cheap

This series reminds me of how let’s plays felt when I was 12. But now it’s condensed to fit a working schedule. Also all this to me unknown mod content is quite similar to how RU-vid introduced me to redstone. I hope you keep going :)

The sort of "rp" he's doing with the other players is something I don't usually like from modern minecraft, but it seems that he's taking inspiration from the old school minecraft youtubers like Stampy, which is something I actually really enjoy. I'm excited to see how he's going to expand on it, but I hope that he keeps it tame.

A good tip for anything temperature / precipitation based: temperature goes up by going south and precipitation goes up by going east, so you just have to go south-east until you met whatever conditions what you are searching for requires and then search arround. Also for anyone that is fooled by the TFC guide: Kaolinite clay is not guaranteed to spawn on the surface, it can be some blocks deep in the ground, so when you find the blood lilies just dig down and arround.

2:43 that's a thing from create mod, you can take down as many trees as u want at the same time as long as you bind them with other trees using logs

As a fellow modded-Minecraft-enjoying Christian, it was really cool to hear you share a bit about your faith in the video. Keep it up, brother! 😁

i live in michigan and the moment your cross the bridge into Ontario a blizzard starts and snow is everywhere minecraft is like real life

This series has inspired me to play this mod pack, I'm well aware of the suffering ahead as you, yourself, have endured. I may play this with a friend

5 seconds in we got calamity mod ost, instantly makes the video complete cinema masterpiece.

Yoooooooooo ep 2 Les go Been lookin forward to this Love the series keep it up man 👍🏻

I believe you can hold tab (or whatever your server player-list key is) to see what types of mobs are on your map

Great video man, but just a suggestion, could you keep the text on the screen on there for just a few seconds longer, as I found myself having to pause or rewind to read it most of the time.

20:00 is this a server or something?
