1
What if you spawned in a fully bedrock world?
2
Mobs don't spawn, structures can't generate, how much progress can you make?
3
Turns out, with just a few tweaks, you can kill the ender dragon in this super flat bedrock world.
4
Whaaaaat?
5
So, much like my brain, it's completely empty.
6
However, also like my brain, worlds have a few ways they automatically change.
7
And the first is the time of day.
8
Now that it's night, mobs can spawn, right?
9
Except I don't see any because mobs can't spawn on bedrock, so we need another block so do I have a plan B?
10
No, but do I have a plan C?
11
No, however something else changes in worlds and that is the weather oh
12
It's snowing it's snowing and because I'm an absolute genius
13
and turned on snow accumulation the snow layers build on top of each other
14
So you're probably wondering if mobs can now spawn since these are full blocks.
15
I'll give you a hint.
16
Yes.
17
Well, I hope so.
18
Oh, yep, look at that.
19
Our first objective is water, which we can collect with a cauldron.
20
And iron drops from zombies 1 % of the time.
21
Ow.
22
So we need to kill 700 zombies for one cauldron.
23
All right, of the seven iron we need, I have zero.
24
Dude, no!
25
Balls!
26
Balls!
27
Nope.
28
What the -?
29
My guy dropped a potato?
30
No!
31
Oh, balls!
32
Wait a minute.
33
Wait a minute!
34
Creepers blow up the snow into snowballs, and we can make blocks from that!
35
Ow.
36
Which means we can make a mob farm and get ironed way faster.
37
I wish I had this idea four hours ago.
38
There's a plains biome, so let's build it there.
39
Okay, now I need to somehow make a mob farm with only snow blocks.
40
Easy!
41
So they'll fall into these blocks.
42
One, two, and 23.
43
So I'm pretty sure if a zombie falls down there, he'll be at half a heart.
44
But how do I make them fall down there?
45
I'm hoping that so many spawn
46
They just push each other into the hole
47
Well I'm already out of snow
48
Okay We can kill zombies way faster now
49
Let's get a cauldron
50
So seven iron
51
Balls dude Ender pearl
52
Oh yeah Yeah I definitely should not have thrown
53
is that oh dude it's day 21
54
but we finally have an iron only six more to go
55
that's two oh my goodness three balls four number five six oh
56
that's the seventh one I don't want the keeper to blow it up.
57
Oh my goodness.
58
That took four and a half - No, that took five hours.
59
Now, how are we going to make a cauldron without a crafting table?
60
We're not.
61
We need a wandering trader.
62
But that's easy enough.
63
I'm just going to wait a while.
64
So, it's been a while, and I just realized I don't think wandering traders can spawn.
65
Because these aren't snow blocks, they're snow layers.
66
And if we learned anything at all from the one block series, which of course I didn't,
67
it was that wandering traders don't spawn on snow layers.
68
At least, that's what I want you to think.
69
Because it's true.
70
The solution to this is to collect a ton of blocks and build a platform of actual snow blocks.
71
I'm gonna need a lot more blocks.
72
Oh my goodness!
73
These phantoms are so annoying.
74
All I want to do is get a wandering trader to spawn and these phantoms
75
No way, a wandering trader spawned
76
Yes, suck it!
77
Suck it!
78
Alright, okay.
79
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
80
This guy's going after the wandering trader!
81
Suck it, dude!
82
Okay So he has wood for a crafting table,
83
but We need an emerald and no we can't use a fox because this world doesn't have tiger biomes Why?
84
Well, this is a custom world and
85
when I tried to add biomes it glitched
86
and i don't know only a few biomes added
87
i don't know however they recently updated wandering traders to sell emeralds
88
we just need the right item oh let's go all right what you got for me buddy
89
i can't get a water bottle
90
but can i make a fermented spider eye
91
i've already gotten eyes from spiders i can get sugar from witches what about the brown mushroom brown mushroom
92
No way boys, we can get a brown mushroom, but we need a swamp biome and there's one this way.
93
Oh My goodness more phantoms.
94
This is where the map said the swamp is.
95
Oh, yeah, it is.
96
Okay, okay
97
We need to make a platform so that a bogged can spawn
98
which is basically just a swamp version of a skeleton I guess all right
99
that bogged over there is gonna get me an emerald, but I have to use up my iron for shears
100
Okay, I'm going in.
101
I'm going in.
102
I'm gonna have to be so fast with the amount of mobs in there.
103
Oh my goodness!
104
Come on!
105
Okay!
106
Yes!
107
Woo -hoo -hoo!
108
No way, no way, no way, no way!
109
And the last ingredient is sugar from a witch.
110
Sir, I am not looking at you.
111
Hello there.
112
Would you like to donate me some sugar?
113
One of them?
114
One of these?
115
One of those?
116
Oh, baby.
117
However, slight issue, I can't get an emerald with it yet because the wandering trader kind of despawned.
118
Oh my goodness.
119
That guy took a while to spawn.
120
Where are you?
121
Oh, let's go!
122
Oh, balls!
123
Oh, balls!
124
Gah!
125
Oh, no. All I want to do is trade with my friend.
126
Uh...
127
Guys?
128
Guys, why is there a creeper hole here and no wandering trader?
129
I think a creeper blew up my only friend.
130
Man, now I gotta get another one.
131
No, wait.
132
A milk bucket.
133
If you kill a wandering trader while it's drinking a milk bucket, you can get one.
134
Okay, let's weaken him so he's a one -shot in the morning.
135
That's one.
136
Let's do one more arrow.
137
Balls, I killed him.
138
Dude, this guy doesn't sell it either.
139
Honestly, thank you, creeper.
140
Wait, baked potatoes?
141
I think there might be a way I can get baked potatoes.
142
I just figured this out.
143
Bruh.
144
At the beginning of this challenge, a zombie dropped a potato.
145
So if it's burning, does it drop a baked potato instead?
146
I hope so.
147
Commence operation baked potatoes.
148
I can't just let them burn on their own
149
because I have to be the one that kills them and they have to be burning at the same time.
150
And none of them dropped any, okay.
151
Oh my goodness, this is so many.
152
Dude, how rare is this?
153
Okay, I've like maxed out the mob cap with just zombies.
154
Surely one of these guys.
155
Oh my goodness, one dropped a carrot.
156
oh my goodness it works boys you can get baked potatoes by doing this
157
oh my balls dude we just got two baked potatoes and one blow well okay not one blow
158
oh i see another one okay bet uh -oh that's not great that's definitely not great
159
oh there's the last potato oh my goodness oh i just wasted
160
so much time because now we have the spider i trade again
161
but i don't even care
162
we can get an emerald finally thank you for your service sir
163
we finally have one oh baby dude oh my goodness we finally can make ourselves a cauldron on day 350.
164
Oh, baby.
165
And now, with this cauldron, we can wait four years for it to fill up with rain.
166
Heh heh heh.
167
Hit it.
168
It's so close.
169
One more water level, and it's gonna hit it.
170
Any second now.
171
I said any second now.
172
Ow!
173
Alright, boys, we did it!
174
We got water in a bedrock only world.
175
I need a bucket.
176
Wait a minute.
177
We can make a bed
178
This is not a great situation to be in turn the string to wall turn the wall to bed.
179
I haven't slept in 360 days.
180
Oh Now we can make a bucket.
181
So how is water gonna help us kill the ender dragon?
182
Well by itself
183
It's not so our next objective is lava
184
and the very first step to getting lava is you guessed it more wandering traders
185
But we need dirt specifically
186
Puzzle pleasure doing business with you big nose green -eyed num nut now
187
How is dirt going to get me lava the first rule in this challenge was that snow accumulation was activated?
188
However, there's another rule a seed and a dirt block crafts a grass block.
189
I know I didn't I didn't want to make this rule I really hate that I had to, but it was absolutely necessary.
190
Unfortunately, I don't have a seed.
191
Let's go!
192
A seed!
193
Oh, no. Guys, I don't have any emeralds.
194
I've worked so hard for this water bucket, but I need the wheat seeds more than I need water.
195
Wait.
196
He makes a sound every time I put that in there.
197
We got seeds, baby, and you know what that means
198
We have grass!
199
I just realized you guys have no idea why we needed a grass block
200
because we need pigs so we can turn this into three grass
201
Now let's build a small staircase going up so that we can just afk and wait for pigs to spawn
202
I'm gonna be honest with you.
203
It is day 662 I have left this afk for multiple days in real life and And unless they somehow died,
204
not a single pig or any other passive mob has spawned.
205
The solution is more grass blocks.
206
You can do water bottles.
207
Boom, bing, doom.
208
Alright, we got a lot of grass now.
209
It should get some pigs soon.
210
oh what is taking so long anyway some enderman stole my grass block
211
so i'm gonna go retrieve it suck it dude okay it has been over a week of afk all day
212
and all night and not a singular pig has spawned
213
or a plural one for that matter
214
but i think i figured out why apparently there's
215
so many stupid bunnies in the snow the game stopped spawning passive mobs
216
so if we move the grass platform far away from the snow
217
and minimize my render distance the game won't realize bunnies are in the world
218
because they aren't loaded
219
so hopefully it'll spawn some pigs oh no way only
220
took me a thousand days to get a pig
221
so the thing is there's only one and you can't breed one into a thousand so
222
We need one more.
223
We got another mob, but it's not a pig, so I don't care.
224
Oh, I see another pig!
225
I see another pig!
226
Let's go, dude!
227
Okay, now we need to multiply these guys into a thousand pigs.
228
That's gonna be fun.
229
Come on in, boys.
230
And with the carrots we've gotten from zombies, we can breed them, and when we run out, we can bone meal for more.
231
Oh, wait!
232
I can use the carrots as regular food.
233
I don't have to eat rotten flesh.
234
I wish I realized that two weeks ago.
235
I think I've made it to the maximum size of this thing.
236
They're entity cramming now.
237
Okay, we have a thousand pigs give or take
238
900 and we need to strike them with lightning so we need a lightning rod which is made out of copper
239
Which is dropped by drowns so I can just put water in the mob farm and drown all the zombies
240
Oh my goodness the very first drowned we killed dropped a copper so we make a lightning rod come on Oh, man.
241
I there's no way I can place this down.
242
This is oh my goodness I should have placed it down beforehand and then done the pigs.
243
Oh I got it.
244
I got it.
245
I got it.
246
I got it.
247
I got it.
248
Okay, bet now.
249
We just wait for lightning.
250
Oh Oh Yep, we did it.
251
Holy cow.
252
All right now.
253
We slay them for their goal.
254
Oh shoot They keep getting struck.
255
This is actually perfect as I kill them more get struck.
256
I got it.
257
I got a gold I got a gold.
258
Okay, so we need 16 gold ingots.
259
Oh Oh, man, even more just spawned.
260
They're just entity cramming themselves.
261
All right, all right, all right, all right.
262
Oh, my goodness, we only needed 16.
263
So we need these for golden apples, which means we now need apples.
264
And you can only get those from oak trees, so...
265
Another wandering trader.
266
Thank you, sir.
267
Bum -ba -dum -bum!
268
Ow!
269
Stupid phantoms.
270
Oh, wait.
271
I have bone meal.
272
I'm a genius.
273
All right, now I just let it decompose.
274
Bro, I didn't get a single apple, and I only got one sapling.
275
That could have been deadly.
276
Imagine if I didn't get that one sapling.
277
Oh, let's go an apple.
278
Now we need another.
279
There it is.
280
So now we can...
281
Boom!
282
Two golden apples, please.
283
Now is a very difficult part.
284
We need to cure two zombie villagers.
285
I guess first we have to wait for it to turn night.
286
Not seeing any zombie...
287
Oh, zombie villager over here, over here.
288
I've got eagle vision.
289
Come here, buddy.
290
Oh, yeah.
291
Nice.
292
And he's out.
293
Okay.
294
We got to build a roof over him so in the daytime he doesn't burn.
295
Okay.
296
We need one more.
297
We also need a witch.
298
Oh, there's a witch over there.
299
There's a witch over there.
300
There we go.
301
There we go.
302
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm on the brink of death.
303
Holy cow.
304
I took damage fast.
305
I don't even know what killed me.
306
Oh, here's another zombie villager.
307
Bet.
308
Now let's cover him so he can't burn in the daylight.
309
And we need the witch to throw a weakness potion now at the zombie villager
310
so that we can shove a golden apple down his throat.
311
Oh, weakness.
312
Balls!
313
That was slowness, not weakness.
314
Oh, that's poison.
315
Man, come on, weakness.
316
That's damage.
317
That's...
318
Dead.
319
There it is!
320
That's a weakness!
321
That's a weakness!
322
Okay, bet, bet, bet, bet, bet, bet, bet.
323
Now let's bring him over to the other guy.
324
Ow.
325
Throw a weakness, please.
326
Yes!
327
Bet!
328
Bet, bet, bet, bet, bet.
329
Let's go!
330
How on earth did that guy transform first?
331
He was made two minutes li - Oh, okay, now this guy does.
332
We've got villagers now in a bedrock -only super -flat world.
333
This is nuts.
334
However, in order to get lava, we need a lot more than two villagers.
335
Let's build a little protection zone for them.
336
And to make the villagers breed, we need a ton of beds, which we can get from spiders.
337
Alright, after one night, we have 57 string, which translates to five beds.
338
And we can use our carrots and bone meal to get more carrots.
339
And throw them the carrots, and yep, they're breeding.
340
Now we only need seven more villagers, so hit it.
341
Dude, it hasn't become night yet, and there's already another little guy down there.
342
Okay, we've got ten villagers, but way more importantly than that, I see an iron golem that spawns.
343
Which is perfect because we can kill it and make smithing tables.
344
Although, we need more than two.
345
So, how will these ten toolsmiths get me lava?
346
Ha!
347
I'm getting to that, okay?
348
Patience!
349
Because we need to start a raid, so we need a pillager patrol to spawn.
350
What are you looking at buddy?
351
So let's make a spawning platform
352
Platform done now.
353
I'm just gonna afk here till some pillager patrols spawn
354
Well, this is awkward what the So I just researched and apparently pillager patrols only spawn in light level eight or lower
355
So we got to build a roof
356
Okay, um, I got a roof on there to make it darker
357
But now there's a ton of other mobs spawning
358
So maybe if we take the redstone we got from witches and make torches
359
This is the perfect amount of light where monsters can't spawn but pillager patrols can
360
Well, I just did more research and apparently they need sky access to spawn
361
and the light level doesn't actually matter I don't know why the other thing said that it done, but it did
362
Basically, we need to remove the roof.
363
Roof gone!
364
Also, I died
365
Oh, pillager patrols!
366
Holy cow.
367
Oh, yeah.
368
So this will allow us to perform a raid
369
However, before we do that, we need to gear up
370
all right i got full iron we are ready to do this raid
371
and i know you're wondering how this is going to get me lava you'll just have to wait
372
and see time to die fools
373
no oh my goodness let's repair the iron gong yeah keep him alive oh is
374
that the last guy hey
375
now this is the final custom rule to the challenge in this world one of the gifts
376
that toolsmiths can throw is a lava bucket normally it's just stone tools so now
377
that i finished a raid they should throw a lava bucket uh they're not throwing any lava buckets guys guys guys
378
Guys, uh, this is not good.
379
Oh my goodness.
380
Holy cow.
381
Yes, sir.
382
We got lava.
383
So now we can finally go to the nether.
384
Oh, baby.
385
Now I gotta light it.
386
Nether portal.
387
Goodbye, bedrock world.
388
And psych hello, bedrock world.
389
Yep, even the nether's bedrock.
390
How are we going to get blazes?
391
I'm going to put this seed into a seed map, and we'll find where another fortress would have generated.
392
Okay, this is where another fortress would have generated.
393
However, clearly there's no fortress here.
394
And blazes need both a fortress and nether bricks to spawn.
395
But this isn't my first challenge.
396
I know what I'm doing.
397
Let's grab our gold, which isn't nearly enough.
398
Good thing I got a fat storage of gold between these guys.
399
Build a small platform.
400
And slowly back up.
401
Oh, got to kill all these guys, because these are not who I want.
402
Oh, there we go a regular piglin over there.
403
Okay.
404
That's what we need although.
405
I'm a little bit trapped by these guys
406
Oh no, oh balls Come on.
407
Nope.
408
Nope balls.
409
Hello, buddy.
410
Give me your nether brick.
411
Oh Let's go.
412
We got another brick.
413
Okay, sweet.
414
That's what we need
415
Yo, yo, we can have a happy guest.
416
Well all of our golds are mounted to three nether bricks
417
That's not very many, but that's gonna have to do okay, please spawn ablaze please spawn A blaze.
418
So, nothing was spawning, and I realized...
419
I don't think this is where the nether fortress is, because I never got the advancement for entering one.
420
So, maybe it's just higher up?
421
I hope.
422
Uh, let's build up and find out, I guess.
423
I'm a genius!
424
Make a little platform.
425
Come on, blazes!
426
That's not a blaze.
427
Oh, there we go, there's our first blaze, there's our first blaze!
428
Okay!
429
Oh, he dropped a blaze rod, it's down there, though!
430
Dude, let's go!
431
Alright, we got our first blaze rod only six more to go two three four five six seven boys
432
we are gonna kill the ender dragon in this world i've worked on this video for two months
433
so the final rule is
434
that the end portal still generates as you can see it's floating up there however
435
when trading with the piglins we got this dried ghast
436
and we are 100 taking a happy gas to the end baby come here buddy
437
we're gonna go fight the ender dragon together no he's too fat
438
he can't fit in it oh well that's unfortunate
439
but it does make it easy for me to go to the end oh shoot yes
440
i'm going down the noob way i don't want to die
441
i don't want to die okay i see an end crystal they're
442
so hard to see can i reach them even why did
443
i only bring slabs time to build up with slabs no no no go away
444
get out of here nope nope nope nope wait
445
if he just doesn't fly up
446
i don't even have to break the end crystals oh he's healing oh he flew up high enough
447
oh i got one i got one oh yeah
448
that was the last one time to die buddy they call me hawkeye i've never missed a shot okay die die die
449
Oh, yeah, give me that fresh XP.
450
Oh Yeah, and just like that
451
We got torches in a bedrock only world

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
