Shadowing Practice: I Survived 100 Days in HARDCORE Minecraft... - Learn English Speaking with Video

Surviving 100 days in Minecraft Hardcore.

Despite playing the game for over 6 years, this is something that I have never done before.

If I die once, the challenge is over and the world is deleted forever.

There were quite a few times where this almost happened and I just about survived.

I had a lot of fun playing this world seeing just how OP I could become.

This video took over 30 hours to make and led to a lot of late nights.

So if you could possibly take the time to hit the subscribe button, that would mean so, so much to me.

With all that said, this is the story of how I survive 100 days in Minecraft Hardcore.

This is it.

This is the world that I'm going to be spending the next 100 days on.

Don't expect anything special on day one.

My main quest today is to get armour and find a village.

That's all my armour sorted and also all iron tools.

And that is the end of day one.

I've found a village and it has a blacksmith.

This is one of the worst blacksmiths I've ever seen.

I don't really need these things.

What do you reckon?

Is this the place to live?

I think it is.

My plan is to safety proof this entire village.

And to do that, I'm going to dismantle this house.

Now that that's finally gone, I can begin the next phase.

I'm going to completely fence these guys in.

Another day gone and all I've done is place fences everywhere.

Operation Protect the Village is now complete.

I've even prevented them from escaping through the river.

I should probably cover up this hole at some point it'll be fine.

We're five days in.

I think this is the perfect time to search for shipwrecks.

Imagine that this is how I die.

There we go.

I had to quickly make a door there, but the treasure was worth it.

And the map points to this very spot.

Beautiful, more treasure, more food, TNT.

I've looted a lot of treasure.

I've got plenty of it and I found another treasure chest, loads of emeralds and diamonds.

And the next plan is to get fortune three.

I've got fortune two for 11 emeralds.

That's good enough for me.

And another day has come to an end.

Now I've got my fortune three pickaxe it's time to go

mining for diamonds i've found diamonds perfect just a bit of strip mining

and how many diamonds are we gonna get this is this

is super quick let's see eight diamonds beautiful five more again

and how much is

that in total 23 i've nearly got full diamond armor already

i've discovered a mine shaft there's one thing i know

if you do not mess with cave spiders in a hardcore

world this guy's poisoned me this is the first chance i

have of dying i'm on half a heart no need to

panic i think i'm just gonna stick to strip mining could this be a cave that leads me to diamonds.

Indeed it is.

Now hopefully there's more than one diamond.

Unfortunately there was just one but

that means I now have enough for full diamond armor and there's more diamonds around this corner.

I went from here up there found one diamond.

This way we found two and this right here is all the diamonds that I need.

With this I've got 15 spare diamonds, all tools sorted, all armor.

I'm going home.

Today's project has been to get lots and lots of wood

so that I can get lots and lots of sticks and then get lots and lots of emeralds.

I've found an igloo And it's got a secret entrance down here.

Well, hello, good sirs.

I think I'm going to cure you right now.

There we go.

Sorted.

This is a very painful process.

But I'm creating a nice little animal farm.

It may not look like much now, but it'll grow.

This fella's now being cured, so I'm going to make him a Fletcher and do some trading.

I don't normally take this long to go to the nether, but that is what we're going to do.

Time to find a bastion.

No sign of a bastion, but I have found a ruined portal.

This guy gave me fire resistance, which is the main thing I wanted.

I finally found it.

Now I shall steal all their gold.

Here's what I really came for.

Bone blocks.

I'll also steal this gold.

And now I can get out of here.

Another bastion and more free gold.

That's enough of the nether for me.

I'm going home.

This next bit makes me very excited.

I can finally bone meal all my crops.

And my dream of a massive farm is going to become a reality.

I built a nice little temporary shelter so that we can get more villagers in this village.

It's not much but it'll do for now.

This area is really starting to come together.

I think now it is time I built a house.

This looks like a perfect spot to me.

It took a while, but I've now finished flattening off this massive area.

After a day's building, this is what I've got so far.

It's a work in progress, guys.

After another day of building, this is what I've got.

It's not the building that takes up all the time.

It's the gathering of all the materials.

We seem to have a situation over here.

100

A rogue gang of pillagers are going after my village.

101

The plan is simple.

102

Get some milk, then take out the pillagers, which then gives me bad omen.

103

But if I now drink the milk, it's gone and I can go back in the village.

104

I'm not ready to do a raid yet.

105

Now that we've got the doors and windows in this house is really starting to come together It's not quite finished yet, but I have to say from a distance.

106

It's looking pretty good.

107

Well, it's taken well over 10 days But finally my house is finished

108

and so this is it Hopefully you like the design apparently it's liked

109

so much that a family has already moved in What are you guys doing living here?

110

Are they after my gold?

111

I'm afraid you guys have got to go There is still plenty of work to do with the interior

112

But i've got this gold here because i'm going to put a beacon here eventually

113

and have that shine up through the sky I think it will look amazing.

114

I'm now going to try and get prop four.

115

There we have it.

116

Protection four.

117

Let's add that to my armor.

118

I haven't managed to get mending like I was hoping, but I got super cheap prices for looting three and efficiency five.

119

I couldn't say no. And now with my fancy tools, I'm ready to go back to the nether.

120

And the plan is to dig a staircase down and start searching for netherite.

121

I've set up a nice little base of operations ready for the ancient debris.

122

We can start using beds to search the area.

123

And there we have our first ancient debris.

124

Finally, I've found some more ancient debris.

125

It's taken a while.

126

Oh, it's flowing in now.

127

We've got another piece.

128

oh my goodness this was it four pieces yeah four pieces

129

we're up to seven now okay i ran out of bed

130

so i'm chopping more trees i'm also going to need to

131

shear lots of sheep i've been trying to get mending

132

but this guy's offering unbreaking three for 15 emeralds i can't say no to

133

that more and more villagers seem to be walking to this hole

134

but i finally have got some mending it's 38 though

135

that is very expensive i don't have much of a choice though i'm going to buy it

136

and now my efficiency five pickaxe has mending

137

and unbreaking on it i can then gather up xp with this pickaxe and it'll mend itself.

138

After mining up lots of quartz, my pickaxe is now good as new.

139

I realise this pickaxe is so fast, I can literally sprint and still mine fast enough to strip mine.

140

After all my escapades, and I have 20 ancient debris.

141

And with that, I can make netherite ingots and netherite armour.

142

And I'm also going to make my pickaxe netherite.

143

Don't we look very fancy now?

144

Protection for netherite armour.

145

We are now on day 50, and I've spent the day finding some diamonds.

146

That is all I need.

147

Let's get out of here.

148

I can now create a diamond sword and put looting three on it.

149

Perfect Sorry cows, but this means it is not good news for you I'm returning to the nether

150

because I want to make some potions and to do

151

that I'm going to need to find a fortress

152

and since I now have looting three getting ender pearls is

153

going to be very easy Finally in the distance there is a fortress.

154

Thankfully with looting getting blaze rods is very easy I've now got a stack of blaze rods.

155

That's probably going to be enough Unfortunately, this fortress is a broken fortress, which means to get another war i'm gonna have to find another fortress

156

And for those of you in the comments that think you can just craft nether wart, you can't.

157

Thankfully I have not had to travel very far to find another fortress.

158

Hopefully this one's better.

159

This is also a great fortress for get...

160

Okay.

161

I don't say a great fortress for getting witherskulls, but you get the idea.

162

That's witherskull number two.

163

And I can now collect my precious nether wart.

164

And I found a saddle, which is pretty handy too.

165

And that's it, we've got all three of them.

166

I'm going to make a portal here just because I'm curious to see where it takes me.

167

That gives us the subspace bubble one and the middle of an ocean.

168

Okay.

169

I'm completely out of food, but I somehow made it back in one piece

170

And now I can begin my next phase and start brewing slowly

171

But surely this hole is being filled up with villagers

172

and since this guy's a nitwit

173

and refuses to get a job He shall be my test subject

174

and i'm gonna lure one of these fellows up here Thankfully

175

this cave was very close put him in a boat He will now never despawn

176

and I can spleeth these guys to come down here my

177

ultra efficient trading hall is coming together I've trapped 10 villagers

178

down here My plan is to get 10 more villagers up here

179

And then this guy here is going to be constantly cured and infected over and over again.

180

He didn't want to get a job.

181

Well, he's going to get a job now.

182

And that will then cause these guys' trades to be way, way cheaper.

183

The next thing I need for this plan is some name tags.

184

And there we go.

185

I've managed to find one.

186

Let's see what we've got here.

187

Okay, another one.

188

Yes, perfect.

189

So I'm going to name these name tags Infector.

190

We've also got a few baby villagers roaming around.

191

I think I'm going to need about 12 pistons and a bunch of levers.

192

And then the plan is to put a piston underneath each villager.

193

And on this side, I need to just dig out these three blocks put redstone on

194

and put a block there and then do the exact same thing on this side.

195

I'm also going to place trapdoors along here so the villagers don't escape

196

and I can finally add the levers and fire these villagers upwards

197

and finally if I mine these blocks it will drop the villagers down

198

and they'll be in the perfect position

199

and before I could do any more I need mushrooms and the best place for mushrooms is the nether.

200

Brown mushrooms are what I needed and brown mushrooms are what I've got

201

and that means I can make a fermented spider eye and brew some potions of weakness.

202

I'll also craft a bunch of golden apples you probably get

203

the idea of what's going to happen next i'm not sure what this extra guy is doing here

204

but he's getting out of here i'm then going to release

205

this guy out of his boat he's going to follow me

206

down here come straight into my trap i'll then name him

207

as the infector he is going to be trapped in there and now

208

if i flick this lever you get the idea of what's

209

going to happen we can hear it right now i'm also going to infect another one like

210

that If I then flick this up, I can get two of them with one splash potion like that.

211

And then both of them are going to give me some sweet deals.

212

We're also going to do the same thing on this side.

213

Welcome, dear infector.

214

I'm also going to cure both of these guys.

215

There we go.

216

And this guy's been cured.

217

He's offering me a discount.

218

But you know what?

219

One discount ain't enough, mate.

220

Go and do it again.

221

And so eventually, if I keep doing this over and over again, I will be able to trade one stick for one emerald.

222

So like mining one log gets me eight emeralds then.

223

What's the prices now?

224

Down to 20.

225

That's still not enough.

226

Meanwhile, this guy's dropped his price from 38 to 13 emeralds for mending.

227

He's getting cheaper I will cure him again though to get it down for one emerald for mending

228

And whilst I wait for those guys to cure I'm gonna

229

continue working on the inside of my house I really am the resident doctor for these guys, aren't I?

230

I've got loads of patience.

231

The upstairs interior is pretty much done.

232

This little hole there That is where the beacon will go.

233

We need to hurry up and defeat the wither.

234

I'm also going to put this carpet down.

235

There we go.

236

We have got a nice looking bedroom.

237

I will add other things here.

238

I'm not sure what I'm going to put on this side.

239

I don't really need two crafting tables, so we'll get rid of that.

240

I will make this bit look nicer.

241

And down these stairs, there'll be a bunch of like mechanical things.

242

I think like a wheat farm, also a furnished room, probably somewhere to get sticks AFK, maybe a bamboo farm, all sorts of stuff like that.

243

And the very good news is these guys have been cured so many times.

244

Yes, one stick for one emerald.

245

You heard it right, folks.

246

We are now very, very rich indeed.

247

What's that?

248

I want mending?

249

Oh, that's only going to cost me one emerald.

250

I said eight bucks.

251

That's going to cost me more.

252

It's so easy.

253

Look, nine mending bucks.

254

I'm just going to go and put this on everything.

255

Finally, it has started snowing.

256

This is the first time it has snowed in the entire video.

257

The only reason I want snow so much is so the land I ruined can be repaired.

258

I was hoping this guy would sell me apples.

259

He hasn't, but he will sell me loads of golden carrots.

260

So my food problems are over.

261

This guy on the other hand will sell me apples for just one emerald anyway.

262

I don't need to get him lower.

263

Haha, we're sorted.

264

For one emerald, I'm going to buy a load of power two bows.

265

Then I can create a power five bow.

266

And there it is, power five.

267

After 77 days, I think it's finally time that I went to the stronghold, defeated the ender dragon, and then finally get my hands on those elytra.

268

And whilst I'm there, I also plan on taking out the wither as well.

269

I found something cool on the way, a pillager outpost.

270

So when I do eventually want to do a raid, I've got the things I need to start it.

271

And we are also very, very close to the stronghold.

272

I reckon digging here is the perfect spot.

273

Here we go.

274

Nice little finding a chest.

275

Some diamonds.

276

Finally, I found it.

277

I have been searching and searching and searching for this.

278

Okay, perfect.

279

In go the eyes of Ender.

280

And we begin.

281

You guys know the drill.

282

This is pretty straightforward.

283

I know I could have defeated it with beds, but I kind of want to test out this power five bow.

284

It's safe to say it does quite a lot of damage.

285

And there we go.

286

Okay, maybe one more.

287

I miscounted.

288

I miscounted again.

289

This time the dragon is well and truly defeated.

290

I also need to have space in my inventory for all the beds.

291

I plan on doing some serious enchanting it.

292

Now that I've finished anviling, let's get all this XP.

293

I'm taking the egg back with me.

294

And I could use the bedrock to easily defeat the wither, but I feel like it's going to be way more exciting if we just try and battle it normally.

295

Especially with this very powerful power five bow, it's going to hurt him a lot.

296

This is pretty straightforward actually, he does like no damage.

297

There we go, he's pretty much at half health now.

298

And now I'm getting withered, I've got to be a bit more careful.

299

My arrows no longer work, I have to hit him with the sword.

300

I've scammed a lot of villagers for this moment.

301

Here we go.

302

That is the Wither defeated.

303

And we have the Nether Star.

304

All that's left to do now is the scary task of finding the Elytra.

305

And I just realized I should use my brain and build with slabs, not blocks.

306

I think I've found what I'm looking for.

307

Over there in the distance, hopefully it has an N-ship as well.

308

Not one N-city, but two N-cities.

309

However, neither of them have the Elytra.

310

That is very annoying.

311

At least these shulker shells are going to be useful.

312

This one looks promising.

313

In fact, it's very promising indeed.

314

It's gonna be worth my time building across.

315

Let's ender pearl on over Grab the treasure and the elytra and fly on out of here.

316

It's great to be home sweet home

317

Okay Maybe the middle of nowhere would be a better description

318

Thankfully times have changed quite a bit for SB now

319

and I can just fly over the world and here it is home sweet home Hey buddy, you don't look so good.

320

There we go.

321

You're much better Let's add mending and unbreaking to my elytra.

322

Let's also craft an ender chest

323

and a grindstone I've decided these kind of things should really be in my bedroom

324

So we're finally gonna start putting them here

325

and also make a shulker box and eventually down here I'm gonna build a proper treasure room, but for now This is where the egg shall live

326

and finally I can add the beacon to my house Let's place that there and doesn't it look amazing.

327

Look at that.

328

I can see it from miles away I love it.

329

We're now getting things like efficiency five on my shovel and my axe and now getting wood has never been quicker Yes,

330

this is where we're at now in Minecraft to decide I'm going to be building my house out of emerald blocks

331

I feel like the main thing holding me back is my lack of gold.

332

So I've decided it would just be a good idea to fly around the nether, look for bastions and steal all their gold.

333

Finding fortresses has been pretty easy, but finding a bastion has been super hard.

334

I've got another wither skull, which is what I want.

335

And this guy's just stolen it.

336

Whoa, what's going on?

337

Thankfully he died and I can get it back.

338

Guys, I'm on heart for heart.

339

I am so close to death there.

340

That was the closest I have come to death in the entire thing.

341

That magma cube just shredded my health.

342

Don't ask.

343

I'll show you what happened before.

344

I jumped into the lava thinking I had my light run.

345

I just landed in the lava, took fall damage.

346

Wasn't that bad.

347

But yeah, I did not expect that magma cube to destroy me like that.

348

That was very worrying.

349

Finally, we have a bastion and this one has loads of gold.

350

It's about to start raining piglins.

351

Can you make it back to me?

352

Only got 32 blocks from that whole bastion.

353

Not very profitable, was it?

354

There's no way you can tell me that bastions are not OP in Minecraft.

355

Guys, I can't believe I was this stupid.

356

I was just admiring this wither skull that I got look at it.

357

It's beautiful and I realized that I completely forgot to get the ender dragon head I don't know what I was thinking.

358

So I'm going back there again.

359

Thankfully now that I can fly no harm was done We've got it.

360

Let's get out of here.

361

Although I see no reason to stop up one dragon head I wouldn't even say two is enough.

362

I think that the perfect amount is three.

363

Now I'm gonna go home.

364

Okay, I found another one on my way back.

365

I've got four now, I'm definitely done.

366

This is why I definitely need a treasure room now.

367

We've got so much good stuff.

368

I also got three extra pairs of elytra there and loads of other things.

369

I'm tired of never having any gunpowder, so I'm devoting an entire night to creeper hunting.

370

A stack and a half of gunpowder isn't half bad for one night's work.

371

I'm also tired of running out of food, so I've got a plan.

372

It involves grabbing some flowers, making some orange dye, turning me shulker box orange, and then buying lots and lots of golden carrots and filling this up.

373

I've just realised I also have a use for all this sugar cane I've planted.

374

Villagers are willing to pay good money for paper as well.

375

My floor that only has the purpose to show how rich I am, it's almost complete.

376

I feel like for the last 10 days or so, I just want to explore.

377

I want to see what's in the area, because I haven't really travelled that far away from where I am, and just see what I can find.

378

Already, I found two things I wanted, a monument and a dark oak forest.

379

Let's check out this monument first.

380

I just realized I have no wood so it's the Dark Oak Forest first.

381

Whilst we're here we can get some gold.

382

The best thing about the Dark Oak Forest is look how fast I can mine up the wood.

383

Rather than going in getting the gold and getting out, I want to try and take out all three Elder Guardians.

384

Already I've found the gold but with minor fatigue it's useless.

385

Here we have Elder Guardian number one.

386

Unfortunately he was underwhelmingly very easy.

387

Here's Elder Guardian number two.

388

Once again very easy.

389

And here's the third and final Guardian.

390

And that is all of them defeated.

391

Now I can drink my milk and grab the gold.

392

I found a jungle temple here, this is interesting.

393

I don't know what good stuff it's going to have.

394

I think you're meant to flick the levers and do the puzzle, but I'm just like, yeah, we're just mining the side.

395

One more gold, I'll take that.

396

You missed.

397

And we got diamonds.

398

Nice.

399

I also want to take this bamboo home with me.

400

Another monument here, let's do it.

401

I'm using the trick of setting your end distance to two for this one.

402

Makes stealing the gold much, much easier.

403

Let's grab all of this.

404

I now have 29 gold blocks, 17 ingots.

405

I feel like I should just head home.

406

I've realised I've forgotten to do one of the most important things in the whole series.

407

Get a pet dog.

408

There we go, we've got one.

409

I'll tell you what, this is what Minecraft is all about.

410

I may have done a lot of crazy things in this video, but this is without a doubt the best one yet.

411

I won't name him just yet.

412

Let me know down in the comments what you think I should name him.

413

And yes, it is a boy, so you know what kind of names to choose.

414

I'll tell you what, there's no place like home.

415

Yep, come on in.

416

This is where you live, buddy.

417

You can stay right about here.

418

I can finally afford to put my new flooring in.

419

For my next build, I want to gather up loads and loads of blackstone.

420

And then these walls here are going to be changed to blackstone bricks.

421

It's early days, but this is the progress i've made

422

so far you come down here

423

and there's two ways you can go coming down here You can actually connect up to the other corridor.

424

No problem And we're gonna have rooms offshooting like this along these corridors just

425

so that i've got loads

426

and loads of space I'll have things like brewing rooms furnished rooms chest rooms Whatever I need down here and

427

if I need more space I can go further down there

428

connect more love I want to keep this this entire corridor

429

going all the way around though The only thing I do need to do is mine all this out

430

and replace it with blackstone bricks.

431

That's gonna take a while though I'm not gonna do it right now.

432

I have a couple of questions First of all, how did this random guy get down here?

433

And how is there two people in this one?

434

It must be something to the fact that I'm literally overrun with villagers in here.

435

We've got golem spawning everything.

436

Whilst he's stuck down here, I might as well still heal him.

437

The first thing I'm going to add in my brewing room is a quartz floor.

438

I want to use Pactite and blue ice for some building.

439

And unfortunately, this house is made of it.

440

So it's got to go.

441

Decided I'd also need lava for this build.

442

So we're going to the nether.

443

Imagine if I messed up and died now on day 98.

444

Here's the thinking behind it fill this bit with glass and then place lava in that corner and that corner, dig down and then we just need a couple more buckets to finish it off.

445

Let's put this here, put that there and finally one more there and we'll go and see what it looks like below.

446

I have to say I like it, lava and ice together, there's something about that that's really cool.

447

I have to say it's really coming together is this room.

448

All of the brewing stands are in, I've got all these barrels for various ingredients, I'll probably put item frames on the front of them and there we have it.

449

The first of the rooms down here, the brewing room is finished and I am now getting so so close to 100 days survived in hardcore Minecraft.

450

I've still got loads of projects I want to do, loads of things I want to sort, but you can also let me know down below in the comments if you've got any other ideas that I should do.

451

If this does go down well I'm planning on making it into a series

452

so make sure as well to please please click that subscribe button if you haven't already.

453

It only takes a second but this video took

454

so long to make that it would really really mean a lot to me.

455

And as the sun has set we are now about to begin day 100.

456

I feel like the best way to start this day is just to recap what I've done.

457

So the first thing I did was found this village and completely fenced it off to keep all the villagers safe.

458

I created this farm for food and for wool.

459

I made a villager trading hall which made me very very rich.

460

I built this house which I'm super super proud of.

461

I showed off all my wealth with the floor, made this cool beacon, defeated the ender dragon, went to the end city, also got the elytra.

462

You've just seen this but I made this very cool brewing room.

463

I also got full netherite armor and yet the most important thing I did was this little fella here.

464

Tell me what to name him.

465

And I've also got my bedroom here.

466

I'm thinking of making this into some sort of room.

467

Maybe this could be the dog's bedroom.

468

I'm not too sure.

469

I also explored nether fortresses.

470

I raided bastions and stole all their gold.

471

And as the sun sets on this world, that is how I survived 100 days in Minecraft hardcore.

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.
