Today, I'll be challenging myself to build the  largest and smallest versions of the six best Lego Minecraft mods. First, we'll start with the  most basic micro figure. Then, we'll progressively build larger, more insane mobs until we've made  the biggest and best versions. And you'll want to stick around to the end because the last build  is over a thousand pieces, being the largest Lego Minecraft mob ever made. But first, you need to  like and subscribe. Let us begin. The first mod we will be progressively upgrading is the creeper.  The micro version of this minifigure came in the mini biome set. The creeper is the smallest Lego  Minecraft mod being made up of only a single 1x1 brick piece with a small creeper face on top.  The next Lego Minecraft creeper is the classic minifigure. This thing's found in a bunch of  Lego Minecraft sets and is made up of only four different pieces that when all put together  make the perfect creeper minifigure. For the next Lego creeper build, we're going to need  these 54 pieces to make the elongated creeper.
2
This design for the elongated creeper was heavily  influenced by Coast Bricks. And I've made a few renditions of this build before, but this one  is definitely my favorite. I love how it feels like I've streamlined the design for this mutant  mob, but compared to the two other Lego Minecraft creepers, this mutant creeper doesn't feel all  that much bigger. So, for the next creeper build, we're going to be using the buildable creeper  Lego set. Now, this giant Lego Minecraft model is made up of 665 pieces being the largest creeper  build ever made, but just having this is the final creeper evolution would just be kind of boring.  So, I'll be rebuilding into my own original design. Now, we've turned that extremely basic  Lego Minecraft creeper into the ultimate creeper tank. This insane Lego build maintains all of  the general shapes of the brickuilt creeper set, but completely reimagines it into this awesome  war machine. Some of my favorite aspects for this build are the treads that implemented into the  legs that allow it to roll back and forth. The creeper head is also still on a poseable ball  joint, so you can point the machine gun at any of the enemy mobs. Now, although the machine  gun is poseable and the turret can even spin, it can't shoot any minifigures. So, that gave me  the idea to implement some green spring-loaded shooters onto the tank. Now, finally, my favorite  detail that I managed to keep in the redesign is the interior of the creeper head. We can see  the pilot for this tank is actually the cursed Lego Minecraft creeper pig. Now, we've looked at  the smallest Lego Minecraft mob and reimagined it all the way into an unstoppable creeper tank.  But now, it's time to rebuild and reimagine five more Lego Minecraft mobs into bigger, crazier  versions all the way up until the largest Lego Minecraft mob ever made. The next Lego Minecraft  mob that we'll be upgrading is the zombie. The smallest version of the mob came in the 2025  Lego Minecraft advent calendar. And the micro mob is made up of only a few pieces with this  mini face print and this really cute Nether portal side build. The next version of this Lego  Minecraft mob is the regular zombie minifigure.
3
But if a lot of people don't know that this is  the most customizable enemy mob ever. The Lego Minecraft zombie has the potential to spawn with  different tools, weapons, and even armor ranging from iron all the way to diamonds. But even if  a zombie has fully enchanted armor, Steve will eventually be able to defeat him. So the next Lego  zombie is going to have to be a lot more powerful.
4
This mutant zombie build takes a lot of  inspiration from my previous mutant zombie builds, but drastically improves on a lot of the design  flaws. The old design had issues with standing stability, so I enlarges the leg portions to  create a larger base. Then I use these flip pieces for hip design for more mobility and  posing options. Then finally, I changed the hinge at the waist for a ball joint for more  range of motion and dynamic posing. The new and improved mute zombie is really awesome, but I  wanted to make something even bigger than before.
5
Now, putting this whole zombie together,  it looks amazing. The new ball joint at the waist allows for way more dynamic poses,  especially looking hunched over, and the genius design for the legs by Coast Ricks allows for  a crazy amount of playability. But my favorite details are definitely the torn and damaged  clothing throughout the figure and the brawalic proportions that make this look like the ultimate  mutant zombie. The smaller head and giant traps and huge limbs make this mutant zombie look even  larger than he actually is. And compared to all the other versions of the Lego Minecraft zombie,  the biggest version is definitely my favorite.
6
The next mob that we'll be mutating into its  largest form is the Lego Minecraft spider. But first, we need to build the smallest. For the  build, I use a single snot brick for the body, a 2x1 tile snappies for the legs, and finally, two  small towels to get rid of the studs. Upgrading from the smallest Lego spider, we have the  regular play scale Lego Minecraft spider. My favorite and most recent release is the spider  jockey because it's compatible with different minifigures. Furthermore, you can also minorly  upgrade this minifigure by adding 2x1 tiles to each of the legs to make a cleaner design. But as  awesome as the regular spider is, we need to make the biggest possible version. For the giant legs  of the spider, I got these large 2 by six plate pieces to build the design. And I stabilized the  bottom of the legs with these rounded plates. But for a giant spider with giant legs, we're going to  need a huge body. Now that the body is primarily complete, I started building the head for the  spider and made sure to add a bunch of large fangs on the side as well as giant teeth. When  I attach it to the body, it looks a little bit incomplete. So, I designed a bottom jaw piece that  included more teeth and a bright red tongue. And now that we put it all together, this spider is  missing one small epic play feature. So for the butt of the spider, I built this Lego contraption  that actually allows the giant spider to release a web and reel in some minifigure victims. Now  that the mutant spider is complete, this is one of my favorite designs that I've ever made for  a mutant Lego Minecraft mob. The teeth, fangs, and jaw details look horrifying, and the humongous  legs on the giant spider look super poseable and are extremely dynamic. The play feature I even  managed to implement makes the build even better than I thought possible. I can even modify the top  of the neck to include the same play feature as the regular spider minifigure. So, we can attach  a bunch of different enemy mobs on top. Overall, this enemy mob is awesome, but we have more mutant  mobs to make. Now, it's time for the smallest and largest versions of the Lego Minecraft skeleton.  To find the smallest version of a Lego Minecraft skeleton, you need to buy the Lego trial  chamber set. Inside this Lego Minecraft set, you can find a skeleton spawner that includes  the pieces to make a micro skeleton. In this set, you can also find two super basic Lego Minecraft  skeleton minifigures. This minifigure, just like the zombie, can be upgraded with a bunch of  different armor. But that's not the coolest aspect to this minifigure. Since it actually has  a skeleton body, you can actually attach some additional clip pieces to the body and modify your  boring Lego Minecraft skeletons. The best designs that I found were the chubby bots, where he  used three awesome designs. The first design has elongated legs and arms and a pretty basic but fun  upgrade from your regular Lego Minecraft skeleton.
7
The next build beefs up the arms and legs of the  skinnier versions and adds on a mace piece and a protective shield. And finally, the last design  uses more than triple the pieces than the previous two and implements four elongated arms to hold  on to four different deadly weapons. Now, these upgrades were pretty awesome, but compared to the  original skeleton, but beside the final versions of the creeper, zombie, and spider, they look kind  of lame. So, we'll be building the largest Lego Minecraft skeleton. Now, this is my favorite  design for a giant skeleton so far. For this build, I combined Dave's mech suit and the giant  skeleton from a previous video to make the final and best version of the figure. For this build, I  maintained the general structure of the mech suit, redesigned the shell, and the entire upper body of  the new skeleton. My favorite implementations have to be the upper body that now has integrated  skeleton details like ribs, bones poking out, and a strap that goes across the body of the  figure. Also like the sleeker design for the legs and waist, as well as the hands and feet of the  skeleton. This brick wheel figure also has a bunch of integrated joints, so it's extremely poseable.  They even built this stability stand, so it can be displayed in an epic pose without falling. Now  that we've built every level of a Lego Minecraft skeleton from smallest to largest, you only have  one mutant mob left before we have to create the largest Lego Minecraft mob ever made. The next  mob that we'll be upgrading from level one all the way to level 100 is the Enderman. The micro  enderman originally came in a Lego Minecraft micro and dimension set, but since I don't have that  Lego set, I'm going to have to build my own micro enderman. This mini mob uses one brick piece,  three small plates, and three tile pieces. The next Lego Minecraft Enderman is one of the best  minifigures Lego has ever made for the theme.
8
Lego uses this awesome design for the body and the  minifigure can even hold different blocks in its hand just like in game. For the biggest Enderman,  we could use the Enderman tower set since it does share the same articulation as the minifigure  and does look exactly like it, but that just seems kind of boring. So, we'll be building  our own custom Lego Minecraft version. Now, this mutant version of the Lego Minecraft Enderman  improves upon the original in every single way.
9
The original minifigure is very static. It could  only move its arms up and down, but the new mutant version has over 10 times the amount of pieces and  allows for way more dynamic poses. The joints on the body are rounded to allow the arms to move  forward, back, up, and down, and even has a bend at the elbow. And since the Enderman has six arms,  that gave me the idea to make six different Lego Minecraft blocks for it to hold. For the blocks, I  use some snot bricks and plates, so then they can attach to the inside of the arms. And I think  it looks pretty amazing. Now, you would think that the blocks actually weigh down the arms  and make them super floppy. It actually made it look just significantly cooler. But now that we  finished building every other Lego Minecraft mob, now it's time to build the biggest Lego Minecraft  mob ever made. The regular Lego Minecraft Wither came with a new Wither Battle set, and honestly,  it's super lame. The build is small, the head looks really weird, and all around, it doesn't  feel like a final boss, so we'll be building something a little bit bigger. For this ginormous  build, I ordered over 1,400 pieces from BrickLink.
10
And if you want the parts list and instructions  for this build yourself, the original creators link is in the description. Now, it's time to  try to build the biggest Lego Minecraft mob ever.
11
The Wither Storm is a massive boss from Minecraft  Story Mode. It acts as a mutant version of the standard Wither powered by a command block, and it  consumes blocks, mobs, and players to grow larger, eventually spawning tentacles and destroying  everything in its path. Now, this is the craziest, largest, most amazing Lego Minecraft mob I've ever  seen. The Wither Storm is so large I can barely even fit the entire thing in frame. to show you  how large this build is. Here it is compared to a regular Steve minifigure and all of the other  largest Lego Minecraft mobs that we made earlier in the video. The build is so large it requires a  brickuilt stand to stabilize the entire thing. The build from the ground up is so professionally done  and perfectly captures the pixelated storm-like details, but my favorite three details  have to be the phenomenal looking heads, the super articulated tentacles, and the secret  interior. Now, each of the three heads share the exact same design, but that doesn't stop them  from having their own individual character. All of the three heads are attached to the body with  these ball joints and have hinges at the jaws and it can even eat a mini figure. The articulation  allows for them to be extremely expressive and almost have different personalities. Another  phenomenal detail is the teeth on each of the heads. The white really stands out against all  of the black pieces and make the whole mob stand out so much more and look amazing. The tentacles  are another aspect of the giant mob that I really like. Each of the tentacles share a similar build  and all include a bunch of articulations. You can pose them in any way you want and make them look  super freaky. You can even use them to abduct mini figures because there's studs on some of the  tentacles. But now for the secret interior, you can take off the roof of the build and inside you  can find a mutated core of the mob with a command block at the center of the building. The interior  also includes a bunch of room for minifigure victims that the withers has sucked up. But now  that we've built and looked at every single of the largest Lego Minecraft mobs ever made, we finished  the video. Thanks for watching. Subscribe.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
