Minecraft Let's Play - Ep. 1: THE BEST START EVER! (Hardcore Minecraft 1.19.2) 

Episode 2 is out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wFLxepKeDZM.html

i don’t think i’ve ever seen an episode 1 not being called ‘THE BEST START EVER’

I love the strategy of finding an igloo and getting a good early start that way. I've done the same before, but I started a villager breeder, then made an iron farm, and used a toolsmith to get exp and diamond tools before even mining a single diamond. It's so good!

What is and isn’t cheating is quite different when you’re creating content for RU-vid as opposed to, say, competing in an event or speedrunning. You’re in a single player world trying to make videos for your audience, you set the expectations for your viewers and play how you want to play 😊 Love the first vid btw!

In my opinion free cam isn’t cheating especially for a creator unless you are constantly using it to find dungeons mineshafts ect but it is a really useful tool

Great stuff Jevin! Excited for this series and what you come up with!

I say use free cam, even take the diamonds. Ever since villagers got job tables you could have maxed out tool in the first 20 days with villager trades and zero mining it's all about what makes it enjoyable for the creator. The more you enjoy it, the more fun you have makes for better content.

for some reason these are the things that put me to sleep, frick the "relaxing river sounds" and such, this is the best sound for night. amazing

I enjoy watching chill hardcore let's plays. I've gotten better at playing hardcore myself, but staying calm is still a challenge and I find it very encouraging to see examples of it in other's adventures. 😊

A couple things bro. 1. Use the beacon rule when freecamming. Basically, if you see diamonds you can't take them until you have built a full beacon. By that point you don't really need them. And they don't go to waste if you take them after that 2. Igloo - make second guy a cleric for lapis early game. You can breed villagers and enchant pretty much right away then. 3. Don't forget to grab quartz while in the nether fortress. Having the ability to mass produce auto farms right away makes a huge difference as you know. 4. Magma block river bottoms as soon as possible. Minecart/automate to collect fish for food.

36years old here, playing minecraft and it feels awesome, i tired of other games and minecraft gives me my childhood dreams😢🎉

I’ve been looking for something exactly like this for a long time. I can’t wait to stay updated on your journey, and watch the series as it grows.

11:15 😂 I agree. And what makes it even more funny is their job is speaking😂

Seeing that strategy for early game xp with the igloo was awesome! I have never seen that before. Definitely inspired me to do that on my next world! Keep up the great work!

In my mind it's absolutely okay to to take shortcuts like using free-cam/spectator mode/online tools etc. It all depends on what you want to do. After all, Minecraft is a sandbox game, you play it in whatever way makes it the most fun/most rewarding experience to you. If you want to focus mainly on building, but with the restraints of survival (i.e. travelling, resource collecting, etc.), by all means, use all the tools at your disposal to locate the resources you need to accomplish your goals. Randomly meandering around for hours to find that elusive mesa when all you want to do is building that thing is no fun at all. Unless that's what you set out to do from the beginning. Just set some base goals and rules for yourself and use every mod, resource pack, and tool to further those goals, and please share with the rest of the class. If along the way you find that a rule you set for yourself get overly tedious or impedes what you're trying to do - rules can change. As long as you tell as what you want to do and how, I don't think anybody can legitimately complain. Everyone can play according to their own rules and set their own goals and challenges. What you, or any RU-vid Minecrafter for that matter can do is provide the rest of us with inspiration and ideas and show us ways to accomplish our own goals; perhaps showcasing tools, mods, resource packs etc. along the way that could be helpful. TL;DR Don't shy away from using mods/tools/etc, use them to further the goals you set for yourself. If you don't like it, change it - there's always the next Minecraft world.

I Love the roof texture! The combinations gives it so much life

I love the style of the house. Tip: remove your night vision and put down some light in your working spaces, it will show you where your lacking in decor. Having a creeper spawn inside is bad lol

I like the use of free cam cause it unlocks amazing underground areas for builds that you wouldn't have found otherwise

I love the house! I would never have thought of the igloo strategy, that's an interesting way to start things off. All in all, a solid start!

I support free cam for RU-vidrs. Sure I wouldn’t use it in a server normally, but it’s nice to see what’s available from a viewer perspective

Maybe it's just me, but I think not using torches is way more cheaty

I have no issues with freecam, especially since you are so transparent about it. Stoked for Hardcore!

Awesome! Can’t wait to see how this series progresses!

Your timelapse music always throws me way back to Wipeout PlayStation days lol, love it. Throwing yourself straight into villager mode is the exact move my partner makes the second we're in a new world, lol

I get what you mean about building faster, it's like doing timed sketches to improve on drawing :)

This has got to be my favorite plush of any of my RU-vidrs!!!

Underrated RU-vidr, you deserve way more than just 2k views

I love the house, and can't wait to see the interior. I'm going to be trying the igloo strat in the future. Someday. Great start, Jevin.

Holy moly, this was a really great episode. Nice job Jevin! I can tell alot of work went in to this. Also the diorite blends really well with your build. It’s hard to make that block work with anything.

Minecraft is a game. We evacuate our stress from a hard day, we tchill, everyone should play it the way they like. Yeah sur, there will be the hardcore gamers that like more challenge or just don't have a stressful job, or studies they'll yell for tcheating, and personaly i don't care about them. I use Tweakeroo and i use MiniHud and all the mods that emprouve my comfort in the game. I'm a builder, and i like to see where i want to go with a free cam, it's like creative where we have a good perspective for building but in survival. I can't say for you if it's cheaty or not, but i see many content creators using all this comfort mods and i don't have a problem with it!

i know iam suppppeerrrr late on this let’s play, but i just wanna say that you’re so funny and entertaining to watch. thank you for posting this man!

nice start! Never thought of using the librarian trade that way. Definitely going to incorporate that in my one block world as it will help a ton!!!

Awesome episode! Absolutely love the starter house! I don’t think you need to change anything I think it looks fantastic as is! Super hyped for this series! If we don’t see you before Happy New Year! Thanks for the awesome year and can’t wait to see what next year brings! Hope the new year brings your great success and joy! Keep up the amazing work! Have a fantastic day! See you next time!

Your music choice for the time-lapse is so hyped! I love it!

i just started playing minecraft again, havent touched the game since 2020, i love this video and its encouraging for me to keep playing and learning how to play the game better

yay a new series!! i came over from the empires crossover and am happy i found some new content creators to watch. about free cam, use it and whatever tool and mod you want to fit your gamestyle and most importantly, whatever makes you have fun with the game. honestly to me that's all that matters. it's a game with a ton of different ways to play it and that's what i love about it, there's not really any cheating per say in this game. just do you man! i'm here for the content, not the "rules" you may or may not set. it's just a shame there will always be people who get mad at content creators for "cheating" as they would put it themselves.

I like how you showed how many hours you took for the completion of the episode. I wish to would do the same thing for the next episodes!😊

i havent watched your videos in about a year as ive kind of fallin in and out of the loop of minecraft.. but its good to see an OG still putting out solid content. i remember you being near 100k subs and now nearing 1mil!!! keep it up

Funnily enough, I've started a Hardcore world myself just a few days ago where I thought to get myself an early game XP setup as well, but the way I decided to do that was set up a mob grinder because I found a spot in the world where I have this tiny bump of an island completely surrounded by ocean, which greatly minimized any spawnproofing might have needed to do around the farm set up. Then when I dipped my toe into the nether to get Quartz, I found myself IMMEDIATELY in proximity to both a Fortress AND a Bastion, which just felt like the world was toying with me, trying to convince me to speed towards the End for an Enderman Farm instead.

I've been wanting to watch your channel for a while and this fresh series seems to be a good place to start

Omg IJevin it’s so crazy to see you again WOWW, I remember the og Minecraft you had with that one gf back when pork was the only thing to get health back lmaoo

New subscriber here! Great work on the first episode allot of grinding! I can't wait to see the series grow! I'll be sticking around to see 😀 keep up the good work IJevin

Great strategy! You make hardcore SP seem so easy. Love the base design Jevin!

a tip, try to decorate with less windows, every wall with a window is not ideal, do a second door, a garden, a green house a outside storage or a blank wall, trying to do less windows was something that help me improve building

sweet, a new jevin series :D i really enjoy the starter build! seems like you had some pretty good luck too lol, super looking forward to more! referring to a baby zombie as an anklebiter made me wheeze lol

When you said I need Iron, there was iron right in front of you when the village house was inside the mine😂

I, too, am a fan of nether fortals :D .... love the new series!

When he sped himself up when he was getting wood it sounded to nice

LFG I remember watching your let’s play series when I was so little super excited to see you start another one LFG!!!

Did you know, If you build lightmatica you can Set it to Auto place the right blocks from your inventory without changing the Block in your hotbar. That would Help alot time wise If you build with LM

YOOOOO I haven't watched iJevin since I was in like elementary school... Bro please keep this series gojng I'm so hyped

Jev, way to go with the house! It looks great! Also, I think freecam use just depends on how you play. If you’re trying to gather blocks to paint with and freecam can help, that’s great. If you’re more into the adventure and discovery aspect of the game, you might feel it’s too cheat-y. But it’s up to you! I honestly don’t think it’s any different than using gamma to see in caves. I love that there are 100 different ways to play Minecraft.

What a fantastic start! The loot in some of those chests early on was super nice and the spawn area is just gorgeous! Love your starter house - especially the subtle contrast in the roof deepslate tile stairs and deepslate brick stairs. Looking forward to seeing more! ~Sassy~

Jev's plushie and Beef's HTC card of Cleo makes it cannon: Cleo's head can come off!

what a great start :D and i love the house it looks so cosy! can't wait to see what else you''ll do this series

Happy to be along for this ride! Learned quite a bit about igloo dungeon strategy. Looking forward to this series!

I play with my sound down too but I use subtitles so I still can tell if there are mobs nearby

I loved watching you both take down and build up the land. I need to work on that more

Love the house dude! Whenever you get to landscaping and decorating, I think it could look cool to add overgrowth to the house with leafs and maybe moss, idk, just an idea

I think free cam is cool AFTER you've explored the area. Just my personal take. If you used free cam to find things, I'd kind of feel like what's the point, whether it's diamond, spawners, caves, etc. I'd rather you find that stuff on your own, and then if you want to show us through the bird's eye view of free cam, that's cool. :) Enjoy the content, dude. Found you thru Pixlriffs channel and I'm glad I did. :)

With how the game is and how much you've already played and such I feel freecam is a nice help that isn't game breaking so personally I'd say use it.

Loved that video, Jevin. A lot of work and love went into this and I love the house you ended up making. Great texturing there.

Him "I need to get a sword" "Proceeds to get a axe"

12:56 Hacks! I call hacks!😆 You really found yourself one gem of a seed, congrats!😄

I'm the kind of person that literally just boots up java minecraft and plays. Sometimes I look at biome maps but otherwise I just play, but it's mostly out of laziness, I have zero problem with mods or free cam especially for RU-vidrs

For the boat. I believe when it was shipwrecked there. Maybe there was a higher sea level so it got suck. Over the 100s of years water level went down.

New to the channel, I rarely find a youtuber that I can actually watch and listen to. I'm very picky but I'm enjoying your videos!

Fun stuff jevin! I'm excited to see where this series takes you 😊 I got a lil motion sick from the resource gathering, so I just closed my eyes and embraced the Minecraft clicks

At least your open about the fact you scout seeds first.

I think looting is the best early game enchant trade, especially off a cured villager. Cheap to get, huge profits.

Love your "starter" house Jevin ❤️ one thing would help me? Would be to know the dimensions of the rooms.. like the framing so it would make it easier for beginner like me to experiment building a 🏠 like yours (:

The plush is 94% funded. I hope more people get the plush; it’s soo cute. Kind of a two for one too.

Use free cam, use chunkbase. It still takes playing the game to acquire the items. Work smarter, not harder.

Happy Birthday Jevin!!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful, fun filled day today!

I love your starter base! It honestly makes me wanna try building a bit smaller. Re Freecam: I think it's fine? I use it in my own vanilla worlds to look at my builds and sometimes to just look at caves and stuff cuz they're lovely.

Jevin i’m so happy your channel is back to its former glory 🙌🏼 i’m beyond proud and happy for you.

Ty for the series, Jev, and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas

If I would have found that perfect little spruce house in the cave I would have probably made that my first base in the world super fun find.

I'd say use freecam. It makes it easier to get an overview of an area and you wouldn't abuse it for off camera mining. I love the style of the starter house too. I want to get better at building and make something if my own in that style

13:14 zesty ahh, but I love the videos and can't wait for upcoming episodes

FINALLLLY. Love the series already

I really like this kind of less editated videos, with more comment during the gameplay, less timelapse..... Im into this series :)

Love your builds Jevin! You really motivate me to try and improve my own builds :3

I think it's ok to look at the world with the cam like that. I really hope some day you will let us get this seed. I hope there was no villager down in that house in the cave.

Love the build! And free cam is great for creators to highlight aspects of the world

All free cam really gets you is diamonds which doesn’t matter a much in the long run. So it’s great to have for utility and looking at builds. I play on 2b2t and one of the most frequent modules I use is free cam. It’s just amazing

Wow thoose strat really makes me think that was a good idea to use igloo to make youre progress even more faster.. Such an interesting start jev

You could have an interior business on hermitcraft if you like doing them because some hate doing them, like grain. It could be called iJevin-terior or something

I think free cam is fair game. Helps get a different perspective and show things without having to back track all the time.

To make myself feel like I am good at Minecraft I’m gonna watch this while playing on a world I started weeks ago 😂

I love all Jevins videos, but I would love to see more of the modded ones, like the recent stoneblock 3 or another skyblock, I love those ones a lot.

no way i havent seen this channel since the 2018 lets play !! im so excited to see how this world turns out

Loved the roof design in the thumbnail..

This seed is amazing! I think this series is going to be interesting

I'm late watching, and even with the plot armour (episode 2 is already out) that cave spider still gave me a massive jump scare!

Ima just say I used to watch you all the time and I was just looking for you, typed in “Minecraft let’s play” and I’m happy to say your name popped up first and it was perfect

I'd like to learn what you were doing with the F3 menu when looking for the buried treasure

Love the starter house! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series. My first time watching your videos and I'm in love with your video style!

Always good quality, I didn´t watched a lot of your work in the past months but now I see the reason I subscribed to your channel, keep up with the good work.
