Minecraft but the world border = my XP Level 

The two main mistakes I saw in the first half was not placing a torch next to the sapling (they don't grow at night) and waiting for water to plant seeds, they grow slower but still grow on dry land

You should have smelted stone for xp. Copper is also a good option.

This is such a good idea, you should keep going with this

Watching you burn logs instead of planks or charcoal killed me inside lol

Mobs can't spawn outside the border, which is good but also, where mobs can spawn, they really do spawn a lot. This could be used to make a pretty good mob/xp farm that ironically would get worse and worse over time but whatever. Also you should keep your chest in one of the 4 beginning blocks just in case you die. Also if you make a mob farm, you should keep it close to the center so that it doesn't take too long to get started back up with a bunch of levels, you only need to get a few to access the farm and then use it. But that's just what I would do. Oh also I love the small scale!

Unrelated, but your voice is very calming and soothing. A very nice change from some other higher energy mc youtubers, they get overwhelming at times. Yet, you're still able to be entertaining and keep peoples attention. Its super impressive and nice to watch

This is such a fun concept- If you continue the series, please could you consider a mod to change the way the border looks? (its a bit nauseating) Either way, I look forward to seeing more in a part 2 if you make one!

Okay so like a death failsafe system, make the first 1x1 accessible area into a staircase with your storage connected somehow, so if you die it’s not like a total restart that ends the run but more of a war of attrition

For anyone German, BastiGHG has a great series where he even beats the ender dragon i think, check it out. Hope you can keep the series going!

Nothing better after a Mincraft session with my daughter than to see a new vid from you! People come up with some crazy content these days and we love seeing you suffer your way to success each time. I would love to see more of this, see what the nether is like and if killing the Ender dragon is possible, hope you do more!

the reason your trees weren't growing is because they need light to grow, and you were waiting for them to grow during nighttime also you do have a way of getting beds, you can turn spider string into wool good video I enjoyed it 👍

Loving this, keep going! A mob farm might be a safer way to get XP - you'd also get a lot of handy items like carrots, potatoes, bows, arrows, string, armor... You could fish for enchanting books when your border gets big enough to access the nearby lake, too. Please keep going! I'm keen to see how far you get!

Your calm demeanor and chaotic way of exploring the map made this so… uniquely entertaining

In a challenge with very limited food supply, stairs with actual stair blocks are really useful. Then you don't lose hunger from going up any more.

I'd love a second part for this one!! I'm interested to see how you'd handle the other dimensions and enchanting with this type of world. Great vid Robert, keep it going :)

Robert would have killed me to get XP.

13:23 BastiGHG: Look what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power.

Great idea, some time ago I watched the German RU-vidr BastiGHG do the Same thing but he managed to beat the Ender Dragon.

You can turn the logs into 4 planks to get more use out of them when smelting stuff. Great vid btw, I really enjoyed the concept!

Your videos give a very chill vibe, I enjoy them. I would definitely watch a continuation to this. I hope you would pick up right where you left off. :)

This Concept has been done by the german RU-vidr BastiGHG before. Not saying that two people can't have the same idea, but just letting you know.

23:37 Use your charcoal to cook up more logs, charcoal lasts longer than logs in a furnace. (you will end up with more charcoal per mined log in the end by investing the gained charcoal) A single log smelts 1.5 items 4 wooden plants smelts 6 items Charcoal smelts 8 items, minus 1 for crafting itself, which makes 7 items Using charcoal to convert wood is also the best for experience gain for an X amount of initial wood, as it has exactly X amount of operations, using logs only gives you X/1.6 smelt operations

If my understanding of Minecraft is correct, making a mob farm is gonna be a challenge. Easy level ups means exponentially more area for the mobs to spawn in, which mean exponentially more torches to keep the farm efficient

BastiGHG already did it in hardcore minecraft and fought the ender dragon. Its called Level = Border. Watch it!

LOVE THIS! you should make it a series❤ And don’t forget you can use your excess saplings and shears the tree leaves with a composter to get more bonemeal. Which means more food!

I want to see you make a mob grinder. Something to allow you to punch them to death, but ideally just control the spawns and deaths of the mobs in the area

24:09 "i am very excited" dumbledore said enthusiastically

Loving this series, I can’t wait to see as you climb into higher levels. I’m looking forward to when you manage to find a good Xp source and your world opens exponentially!

I was just staring at that rotten flesh in your inventory the whole time you were saying you needed food. Also, watching you use whole logs as fuel was just painful.

You could still beat the game technically. The max integer value for xp level is like 238,609,312. It would be a grind, but it could be done with making a massive amount of xp farms xD

This one was super entertaining, would love to see more of this mod! Love to see you make a cool base n' all,

I love this. You should do this as a series. I have watched it four times already and can’t get enough

This is a really cool concept. Would definitely watch more. I hope you're putting a way to gain xp in that 4x4 area of level 1. Just in case. Lol.

You’re criminally undersubbed. Love your stuff man! This was an awesome challenge 😸🤘

I'm doing something similar, but more multiplayer-friendly. each minecraft-day at noon, the worldborder expands by 2 (so 1 block in each direction). Though I'm doing this in a private modpack I'm making with a custom datapack and then loading that datapack with Paxi so I don't have to add it to each world manually. Though I must say having Alex's mobs can make the early game quite hard with small worldborders, considering they have a miniboss (think warden-level difficulty, but not blind) that spawns near the worldborder (the farseer) xD

Theres a German RU-vidr WHO Made IT Till The end with that Challenge was very creative and funny. Have fun and keep going

This was actually pretty good content man, I would love to see a massive building like a cyberpunk tower crunched in one chunk with bubble elevators.

This is a great idea, it was a lot of fun watching this I hope you keep it up and continue this series. I wanna try to play this too now haha!

Another way to do this would be like: "Border=(level)^2" (No idea if that was notated correctly, lol) So like level 5 would make the border 5x5=25 blocks, level 10 would be 100, and level 30 would be 900, so reaching the stronghold would be very doable. Maybe the challenge is less fun though.

you can basically beat this game by leveling yourself up to level 1200 and searching for a stronghold then getting full gear and starting to work on full god particle farm which would get you to max level within few days of afking

I was so on edge the entire time watching you place things so far away from the spawn point. imagine dying and you need level 10 to reach your chest

I love this video ,it's so interesting and entertaining to watch!

This is great! so far the only tip i have, is smelt things with planks, not wood ( 1 plank does 1.5 items, so this is in general, more rescource efficient.)

Please keep going this seems fun and I wonder if you'll have the border in the nether too

The main problems I saw at the start is the torch and you don’t need water to grow stuff as well as you had rotten flesh when you got really low could’ve eaten that

This is amazing! Please make this a series

This was very nice! I'd like to see more of this... In theory, the limited worldsize makes for ideal mob-spawning conditions if you wanted to really push things out with a grinder and see if a fortress is remotely possible. Plus, that'd be a good source of rescue xp if you ever *did* die, so long as the spawner had an output pipe coming down in your initial 2x2 and had at least *some* spawning spots in the same.

Great idea for a video. Wadze did a similar one with border growing over time but yours is a better concept. I’m subscribed!

20:29 Don't do this to me, i can't take Minecraft Shorts anymorem Amazing video, by the way

this was such a fun idea, really entertaining to see you come up with ways to level up and survive!

I've been enjoying this. I hope you continue it!

Really cool idea, really refreshing than just another skyblock video. So cool! Thanks and please continue a bit more!

Awesome video as always sir 💜💜 Please keep playing this world. You need more diamonds, can never have enough. =D And sir, you cant just change history! Its cannon that you are jn and out of jail at this point. And that you still make time to play with a small creator like Forge Labs while outaide is so kind of you 💜💜

definitely keep going with this series !

you're very calm compared to others that do minecraft challenges, genuinely needed this tbh

An interesting addition to the mod would be allowing ender pearls to move the center of your world border which would make it feasible to get to The End while still kinda fitting within the spirit of the game?

Next do Minecraft, but the world border = amount of items in the inventory.

I want more of this! You had me hooked on this one.

What bothers me is that you didn't get the copper for the xp, they give a lot

The amount of creepers on the stairs 😂😂

Hey, Robert Oppenheimer!! ♥️ Your video/s keeps me entertained and it really lightens up my mood whenever I am down. Thank you. Have a great day, Oppenheimer! 🤗

I really enjoyed this!! I’d love to see more! I’ll try and think of some of my best tips/life hacks with the game in this scenario… You can get infinite lava, but you need a cauldron and a pointed drip stone. So… probably no luck there. You can use boats to capture mobs. Maybe you can hold crops in your hand and stand by the boarder to lure cattle into the boarder. I’m pretty sure anything can enter but nothing can exit, tho, I could be wrong. Your best chance might be making a darkroom mob spawner and trying to kill witches for special drops. A witch also has a chance of throwing a weakness potion, which you could potentially eventually use to heal a zombie villager. Man, this is a tough world. I’ve been playing for over 10 years and I know a ton of mechanics- but I’m drawing a blank on how to really help. Just keep pressing on. You’re off to a fantastic start!

I would love a series of this :)

Thanks for the great content Robert!

Just subscribed. This was cool. Keep the series going.

Loved this! Please keep doing this!!!

Btw when you’re making charcoal you can use wood planks as fuel and each plank cooks the same amount as a log. Charcoal only requires the log on top

I absolutely love this inventive new spin on minecraft, it really is like a whole new game!

Awesome video! Love the idea, gotta keep going for sure!

when i realized that YOU were the robert from forgelab's videos after you mentioned him i practically jumped for joy

more of this please

Definitely enjoying Minecraft Tileman. More please!

“I need food” *Proceeds to ignore the rotten flesh*

Awesome video idea. wo tips: You can plant/grow wheat with no water source Lava can be used to smelt 100 items, so you could get the experience of smelting 2.5 stacks of items per bucket

I actually enjoyed this... thank you I just about to suggest that you created monster trap/ farm using stairs block that can fall into the initial "4 block" So even if you die, you still can get exp from the monster farms But i just realized the posting date I probably was too late lol But yeah, if you continue this challenge Probably you can create a fully working base Terraforming the land near the initial 4 And make it comfy to live So if you do dieded, you still have every things near initial 4 blocks So the first mission probably bed Make a bed probably try to play around the spawn radius (went up, then fall down to water) to see if therse any sheeps spawned Or you can make a simple spider farm, that usually used by skyblock players

ladders for a safe way up and down and to save hunger also wall them in to make sure you don't fall off and have safe walled in pocket rooms at the levels where you'd want to stop at so when you get off the ladder you wont have to worry about mobs attacking you, building a house at the top would also be wise to keep you safe from above ground mobs, you wouldn't want to find creepers climbing down your ladder because you forgot to go back up and place torches after gaining a few new levels

You could do a "With Every Level I Get, The World Border Gets 2x Larger", so that you can defeat the Enderdragon.

i can see one mistake no one has pointed out so far as i'm aware of, using logs to smelt. logs and planks smelt the same amount of items, and as there are 4 planks per log, using planks to smelt is 4 times more efficient than using logs. but apart from that one little thing, great video!

Solid chill video love it !

That was so nice. Love the idea❤

That was a great video ! I'm waiting for part 2 !

Even though this isn’t a hardcore series it acts the same way. I hope you get an animal you can start breeding.

you could probably beat it if the border was set to your level². then only at level 30 itd be 900 blocks out. id watch a lets play of that

You don't need water to grow crops. Water increases growth speed, but tilled dirt will persist if planted on.

love the video idea, if you want to reach the end I suggest going to the nether and farming zombie piglins for gold and xp

Local man with soothing voice has never played Minecraft in his life, proceeds to make many mistakes.

I really like this concept but it's really hard en the eyes to watch. Maybe you can find a way to move the border half a block out or maybe a texture pack to make it invisible/almost invisible. ❤

This is awesome! Instant sub; glad to be part of the first 100k :)

Finally a calm Minecraft youtuber

More of this! You can use string to make wool for a bed. Also crops and saplings need torches to grow at night.

You should set up an XP storage area at the origin so you can bounce back if you die. I recommend replacing some of the blocks of the spiral staircase with furnaces, filling them with logs and whatever fuel you want to use, since you now have enough wood to burn, and leaving them there. The XP will remain in the furnace until you pull a cooked or smelted item out of it. You could make this more efficient in some ways by setting up an auto-smelter. You can make a pretty basic one with just one furnace and three hoppers, one above and one below, using chests for extra storage, plus one hopper and optional chest feeding into the back. Put logs (or whatever you want to cook/smelt into the top chest/hopper and fuel into the back one; the cooked items will come out the bottom _(because video game)_ but crucially *ALL the XP will remain in the furnace until you manually pull out an item,* so let the contraption cook until it gets backed up and whenever you need it, BAM instant levels. Even if there's some jank involving double chests or hoppers being partially outside the world border, you can fit this all in a 2x2 footprint if you're careful, so assuming the world border shrinks to the same place every time it's a done deal. Of course the ideal is to just have a bunch of Bottles o' Enchanting in a chest you can reach, but the furnace thing is something you could do right now.

this video = perfect background noise for school work

Keep on going its so fun to watch

When you didn’t initially eat the zombie flesh I was tearing my hair out.

If you change to every level boarder increases by 10%(rouded up) eg. lvl 0 -> size 1, 1-> 2, 2-> 3, ... 9 -> 10 10-> 11 11->13 then by level 100 you will have boarder size of more than 10k and you would be able to beat game (about 1.1^100 and it is ~13500)

Totally keep going with this!

I can't wait for the next episode! :D

Cool video, but if you do anything with the world border like this again, maybe consider using an unobtrusive world border resource pack. I found it quite hard to watch at the start, and I don't even have epilepsy. I think Vanilla Tweaks has a good one.

More please, nice concept

a way this idea could be expanded to make beating the game possible is to pay the world border with xp. this way its still a grind but not as extreme as it is now. also no lost border progression on death
