This UHC Hardcore series is a way to test my abilities to the max, in an amplified world! The first season ended badly, in normal Hardcore mode (MC Forums Thread: http://bit.ly/msc-hcs1mcf) and the second is just starting! I will be posting the videos throughout the series in this thread.

Below is a trailer for the series, the first episode of the series will be released tomorrow (Monday, December 1st, 2014) on my YouTube channel as well as in this forum:

Episode One of the (Ultra) Hardcore series has been released! Prepare yourself to watch this video and learn how much I suck at Minecraft.

We awaken to a dark and dangerous land in our UHC, amplified world and need to set to work to create a Wall of Safety before the night sets in once again...

We decide to go out and look for a cave and little do we know we are in for the biggest jump scare of the season so far! And finally... we get some iron armor.

We escape the land of caving back to our base where we begin work on some fortifications. We finish up our wall and build a fancy iron door entrance as well.

Today we discover how awkward it is to do post-commentary naturally, whilst we search the desert for an elusive village spotted by a viewer in an earlier episode. On the way we finally discover some sheep, so we can make a bed and then prepare for an epic caving episode next time.

In this episode we go back to the epic ravine we discovered in Episode 3 (http://bit.ly/hcs2-e3), and discover it is actually a triple ravine!!! And not only that, it has a ton of gold in it as well... and it also happens to have a lot of skeletons, the question now is, how much health do we lose?

Thanks for your post , very interesting

No problem.

We need a farm... and food and related objects, so we build one! We also do some exploring for caves as well as build a super "wild", in all senses of the word, basement!

We still need diamonds, gold and... oh wait, now we need more gold. STUPID SKELETONS!!! Ultra Hardcore Mode is so much fun. *Face Palm*

Arriving home from the previous caving episode, we work on making our wall more secure by raising it by 2 levels and adding an acacia fence ledge, and then we work on making our farm fantastical, all to the tune of smooth jazz, in a few awesome timelapses.

After doing some building we decide to go look for more caves in the difficult amplified terrain and decide to use our sense of hearing to find ourselves a cave. After finding a fantastic cave, we also try out our very first taste of gold.

We are getting down to some dangerously low health levels, but it seems like a fair trade off with the vast quantity of awesomeness in this cave! Not only are we acquiring a large collection of gold but we finally find... DIAMONDS!!!

I can't get enough of this series! Even the bits that are usually dull, like caving, are made more exciting by your commentary.

Thank you so much Golf, that's really nice to hear.

In the next episode we continue to explore the mostest amazingest cave ever and even run into a gaggle of witches and a... Skeleton Spawner! (Basically, bad news in UHC.)

We continue to run into hordes of skeletons as we continue the UHC adventure and decide to pack up and head home (if we can find our way out), before discovering new caves, and a skeleton in FULL IRON ARMOR!!! It's not good news for Ultra Hardcore...

In this episode we heal up with some delicious golden apples, release all our animals into our base, build a portal... and go to the NETHER! (Even after contemplating the Nether Portal Teleportation glitch of Minecraft 1.8.1). But only soon after arriving in the nether do we discover we have the best nether spawn possible for UHC!

We finish securing our nether portal in the nether and then decide to explore the nether fortress looking for potions and loot whilst running into ghasts, blazes, wither skeletons, skeletons and magma cubes... and then we discover a blaze spawner!

We continue exploring the nether fortress, and finally find some goodies to loot, including materials for potions! Along the way, we have some tricky encounters with blazes and then return home to brew some potions and work on a moat to destroy all skeleton scum trying to survive outside our base beneath our wall, and then we build safety platforms for farming ender pearls.
