hi, in this video mister steve woke up and accidentally put his shoes on his head (classic, happens to all of us). after realizing his funny little mistake, he thought β€œhey, what if i just lived my live backwards from now on”, and as soon as this thought popped in his head, he got immediately teleported to the End with absolutely no equipment. and in classic steve fashion, he just conquered the whole world backwards.

  1. Hi! πŸ™‚

    I've seen a few questions come back a lot of times in the comments, so I'll make a pinned comment to answer most of them right here:

    Q: "You could've used an auto-crafter for the stone pickaxe instead!"
    A: Unfortunately, the crafting recipe for the Crafter requires a Dropper, and to craft a Dropper, you need… Cobblestone. On top of that, unlike Dispensers that generate in a few structures, Droppers currently don't generate in any structures, so the only way to obtain a Dropper would be to craft it.

    Q: "You could've used Blackstone to craft the stone pickaxe!"
    A: Just like Cobblestone and Deepslate Cobblestone, obtaining Blackstone also gives you the cobblestone advancement, so it wouldn't work.

    Q: "You could've traded a toolsmith villager for the stone pickaxe!"
    A: Yup! But it felt wrong to me to get the villager trading advancement at the same time as the cobblestone advancement, so I preferred avoiding it

    Q: "You could've looted a Trial Chamber to get the stone pickaxe!"
    A: …Yes. I completely forgot this structure existed πŸ’€

    Q: "How did you craft a bucket without getting the "Acquire Hardware" advancement?"
    A: By using Iron Nuggets! If you place your Iron Nuggets in the crafting table to craft ingots, *as long as the ingots don't land in your inventory*, you won't get the advancement, so you can grab them with your mouse and immediately put them back to the crafting table to craft your bucket (or any item that requires iron), and avoid the advancement! This trick also works with Iron Blocks (which is how I crafted the bucket when I was in the Nether, and which is also why I was so happy to find an Iron Block in the chest!)

    Q: "Why do you textures look old?"
    A: I use the "Programmer's Art" texture pack, which shows the old textures from before the 1.14 texture revamp. The only exception is the Netherrack, I got a lot of comments regarding the old Netherrack in my previous videos, and I agree that the old Netherrack looks kinda harsh, so I decided to change it to the new texture. I kept the rest of the old textures though, since I prefer them.

    Q: "You got "War Pigs" after entering the bastion! Shouldn't it be the other way around?"
    A: You're right! I completely forgot this advancement existed, and in theory I should've opened a bastion chest before entering the bastion. My bad.

    Q: "You got the obsidian advancement while still in the Nether! Aren't you supposed to get it afterwards?"
    A: Yes, but since I decided to continue the challenge at 12:08 as if we didn't do the Nether yet, it also means I continued the challenge as if I never got the Obsidian from the Nether, and if you put things back in the "right" order (End > Overworld (Stronghold, then going to the Nether) > Nether > Overworld), then we would've gotten the obsidian advancement at the correct moment (after getting "We Need to Go Deeper!"). I do agree it was a bit confusing in the video though, it was hard to explain clearly!

    Q: "The first advancement you get is actually Monster Hunter at 2:23!"
    A: Yup, but I didn't really pay much attention to it since it's from the "Adventure" tab in the advancements menu, and I focused mainly on the "Minecraft", "Nether" and "End" tabs, since those tabs are linked to the dimensions (which was the core of my challenge at first: doing the dimensions backwards).

    Also, a few comments answered my confusion at 18:09 (thanks for your comments!): This weird thing underground with bricks and stuff is an underground structure called "Trail Ruins"! It got added into the game in 1.20, and doesn't really have anything interesting inside, it's just a random structure.

    I hope this answers some of your questions! Thanks for watching the video, and thanks for reading this comment! πŸ™‚

  8. I would (still) really love to see this challenge: "Beating Minecraft without collecting any XP".
    I think this could be quite challenging since you would be unable to smelt stuff, trade stuff, mine some stuff and kill stuff.
