Man, this is wild because this video is 40% cool building with a cool guy, 40% Calling in assist like this was a fighting game, and 20% cool editing to show off and make the story better. I love these videos and seeing the world come together I think this is the best kind of Minecraft content.
Thanks! This has made Minecraft content exciting again. Thank you, hope to see more of this for a long time to come. Looking forward to seeing the other content creators that are involved in the making of this.
I hoestly think the flat roofs make much more sense that large pointy ones. If this is a dragon university there is gonna need to be somewhere for the dragons to take off and land at the school and the flat roofs make for perfect dragon pads.
I love that thought. I was thinking it make more sense but I didn't think that far into it. I also believe he could have simply took the whole mountain range or the island itself and lowered everything down
I gotta say this channel is one of the best Minecraft creator ever, like WHATT everything is amazing from editing, recording, storytelling, and of course the cool guy and his friends. And it only has 170+ k subs😭👑 this deserves more recognition
Shovel this one was an absolute masterpiece. Seriously, they just keep getting better and better. I’m actually worried what the heck your channel will look like a year from now! 😂 in a good way ofc!
I have seen you collaborate with other minecraft TH-camrs on their channels, and I decided to check you out. I cannot beLIEVE you have less than 200k subs, these videos are EXTREMELy high quality. The editing, the builds, the building collaborations-*chef’s kiss*. I cannot wait to see what you do next.
Its honestly so strangely comforting how fake every conversation is. Not fake in a bad way, but it feels like cheesy, classic youtube, like its condescending to the viewer but in the best way possible. Keep it up, new sub!
I love how you talk about the lore behind the world and your builds aside from just plainly explaining it. Great content my sir, and you’ve just earned yourself a new subscriber!
I’m actually dying. I love this crew and the edits. Please keep this up forever - therapists are replaceable, these are among of the best build videos ever though
Literally watching this a second time TODAY cause it’s so good. GG Shovel, you’re my new favorite TH-camr. And, more precisely/importantly, your actually doing something new and fresh, and god so full of skill. GG, my aspirations have rose because of you
Honestly im blown away with the detail put into the build and also the style of ur editing is amazing the fact u only have 180k subscribers is acc a crime definitely one of the best builders ive ever seen. ur builds never disappoint keep up the good work!
Idea: a kingdom that is split into 2. One side having their own biome and castle, the other having their own as well. They are centralized in religion, and in between both is a large church or smth. Just something to get your creative juices flowing
Finally, an epic video uniting all his masterpieces into one breathtaking map. Have been waiting for such a long time and can’t believe it’s finally here.
I just randomly stumbled upon this channel while looking for my fantasy world inspirations and Instantly got hooked. I am definitely dropping a sub and notification for future videos. This is probably one of the best builds I've ever seen. Cheers man, I wish you all the best for your future projects!
I cryed when you said ``It's time to call the cavalry`` That is something I've never been able to do to start/plan or whatever to do with any of my ideas as projects.
The editing, humor, all the different people and of course a build defined just as much by its elagance as it is by its uhhh... epicness? I mean just look at it! all of it just comes togther to create an awesome video. great work :D
First of all, you do the best minecraft building videos in humanity history, and second, you are probably the best builder to have ever existed. You said we could talk about lore in the comments. so let's not wait. A possible project for a future video could be a city where the gods stay, for exemple on the island at the middle of Etheria. Think of it like a sacred place, from which the gods could watch over humans (and others), as long as it is in the middle of the world. All the gods would worship a single creature, the absolute, which was the first ever alive being to exist. He created the gods themselves, and Etheria. The build coud resemble a mix between Asgardian architecture and ancient greek architecture. Hope you see my comment !
"The Arcane Cliffs." The craftsman took a deep breath. "The Arcane Cliffs is a place where reality becomes a fantasy. Pure power radiates from the entire mountain range, yet only few are capable of using it. Mountains as tall as Gods tower across this land, their smooth, almost vertical sides marred with jagged slashes, huge enough to have been carved by a dragon. These slashes form a mesmerizing pattern of runes, runes even a craftsman like I have never seen before. A vibrant golden gleam emanate from inside these runes, blinding those who stare directly into it. It is rumored that, once, a deity saw this incredible region and fantasied about owning and living in a castle mounted upon the highest peak. This deity however, after attempting to built said palace, was rendered powerless, blind, by the sheer light that burst through every crack in the surface of the mountain. They came crashing down from their place in the heavens, and were left as a mere mortal. The only thing this deity was left with, reminding them of the power they once had, and could still have, had they not been greedy, were two runes, carved on the outside of their eyelids." The craftsman glanced up at our Divine Ruler, the ruler of the Fey. The Divine Ruler nodded their head, and indicated for the craftsman to continue. "But you may wonder, children, what is causing this bright light? Why exactly did the deity fall? Well, that was one of the great mysteries in the world, until a triad of adventurers stumbled upon these cliffs, unaware of the power they held." I raised my hand. "Yes?" "Whose power were they unaware of, their own or the cliffs'?" "Both. When they saw these runes, they decided to investigate, as any foolish 'hero' would do. However, one of the members, a boy, was not blinded by the light of the runes. He wandered deeper into the crevices the slashes had made, and witnessed something our mortal minds can only describe as a complete miracle. An angel the size of a castle was sitting, cross-legged, in the middle of the mountain, which was hollow. The angel, when aroused by the boy's entrance, opened its eyes in an elegant way only mastered by the most noble of rulers. It inclined its head at the newcomer, but, upon making eye contact, snarled. It seemed to have originally mistaken the boy for one of the mountain-dwellers, the Hesperides and the Oreads. When it came to the realization the boy was not one of its worshippers, it flung a glowing palm out, gestured at the crevice the boy had entered from, and spoke, in a deep baritone, equal to thunder in the way it shook the floor. "Leave my home. Tell them who I am. Tell my story. You are welcome here no longer, but my story is welcome in your head, and many others. Leave." The boy, finally seeing the sense in fleeing, retreated swiftly. However, as he grew older, his sight left him, dimmed already as nothing he ever saw again could compare to the wonders he have witnessed in those Cliffs." The craftsman removed his blindfold, as did our Divine Ruler. Both revealed glassy, unfocused eyes - the craftsman's were a coppery chocolate and our Ruler's were an incredible violet. The craftsman spoke once more, after silence had fallen over the people in the hall like a blanket. "I am that boy, and I am sharing the story of the angel. I encourage you all to visit the Arcane Cliffs, to embrace its power, and to trade with the nymphs there. They are hospitable, and they will give you shelter when you say that we-", he gestured at the Divine Ruler, "-sent you. We have both seen the angel, and advise you not to venture into the crevices, lest you have Hesperides or Oreads to accompany you, and provide you with eye protection" The child beside me raised her hand. "But sir, you were the only one who entered the cave of your group - how can our Divine Ruler-", she bowed her head in respect, "-have also seen the angel?" The Divine Ruler chuckled, and shut their eyes. "Dear child, whatever made you assume I was in that group?" Golden strokes began to illuminate their eyelids, forming... two runes. "Greed is permanent slavery, a permanent wall blocking you from previous heights. Do not fall into its trap, my children. Do not become like me." oh boy. you read all of that? you really thought it was over? nah. shovels builds are literally my muses. The Dragon Riders: There are four main species of dragon, and therefore four training groups. They are trained separately to cater specifically to their dragon species' needs. The Fire dragons are extremely aggressive, so Fire Tamers are extremely strong, and trained in combat - they are the army's first line. The Water Dragons are more peaceful - they work as a defense (due to their healing powers), and they teach very young Tamers - so Water Tamers are generally teachers and healers. The Air Dragons are smaller, and work as spies. They are extremely stealthy, and can turn invisible at will - but they are not predator dragons (they have practically no offense skills). Therefore, Air Tamers are trained spies, and are much better at long distance combat than close combat. The Earth Dragons are extremely smart. They are easy to tame, but will only be so once they have chosen their rider - an Earth Dragon will only ever have one Rider, unlike the others. The Earth Riders are the leaders and are the generals of the Rider civilization. The 'angel' spoke of above is actually the Light Dragon - the only one of its kind. The Light Dragon guards a civilization of nymphs, who reside inside the mountain. The Light Dragon has never left the mountain, so its power are unknown to the outside world. (no this is not me being lazy to come up with powers for it, shush). It is ten times larger than the other dragons, but once every month a group of Riders, or just people, from the village below are selected to enter the mountain. They always come back, report that the village is still in good condition, and that the Light Dragon remains alive. i will be adding more, and might log into the lore server at one point lol
Ahhhhhh!!! This is INSANE dude! I also am writing a fantasy book of my own and have been on and off trying to build a Minecraft world for it, but I just didn’t know how to to it. This video inspired me so much to keep at it! Also I love your editing style it’s really amazing you’ve just gained another subscriber :)
You should definitely try to write this story, man! It sounds really cool and i feel like there's a big and interesting lore whitin the world. With a good writing, interesting plot, cool characters and development and a great world building (the beauty of this world needs a good world building) I'm sure this gonna make an amazing fantasy book.
Yall should all be more famous and popular like omg- such attention to detail and editing, as well as animations! Also this storyline sorta reminds me of the mother of dragons a bit!:)
This is the best mc video i have seen. I have been watching minecraft for like 7 to eight years i would love to build like you all with all of your unique understanding of the blocks and how all of the shading comes together ❤ thank you for the 20 mins of entertainment good luck on your next build.
It is crazy to me how I have literally watched you become the best over such a short time. I know it has been a lot of hard work but bravo your editing and building are almost completely unrivaled.
I really love the brutalist-gothic architecture combo, it is extremely unique and so well done. It might not be what you originally had in mind, but for me it was way way better cus it added more personality to it.
Dude... This is INSANE! You are such a good creator and I love all your friends helping you make these builds come to life. I legit don't comment on videos but I had to because this is just awesome. Please keep this series going I cant wait to see what you have for the future!
This is the most insane project I’ve ever seen!! And in only one month? I take like 2-3 to make nothing even remotely as interesting. I hope to one day learn your ways of constructing such beauty
Shovel I love the video, Just to warn you, this is a year long idea, with a story and plot twists, with very big youtubers able to react to it. With all of the projects, take your time, and make each section a month to finish to keep progress. See you in the future I will hope you finish all
Dude your bulids are insane and the story is as equally as good! You really inspire me to expand on my own fantasy world which I made over 6 years ago and share it through youtube and stories as well! I love how you look at different cultures for inspiration as it shows you really research everything! Keep doing what you love man! I'll be here to support and Im sure hundreds of others will be as well! Love from Australia!
This video is epic! This build is epic! Has to be my favorite video so far! It was funny, content-packed and enjoyable to watch! Can't wait to see what you build next!
This is honestly one of the most impressive Minecraft videos I've ever seen. I've been in the game for over 12 years and this definitely takes the 5 top best Minecraft videos.
Amazing job on the build! I LOVED the way it turned out, and really admire your patience with such a massive project. And Achilles had my jaw dropping at "Not my best build", like, how can you say something about such a BEAUTIFUL outcome?! Smh the audacity of them.
Absolutely amazing like always!! Your channel has been growing so fast recently, and you totally deserve it. I love listening to you explaining the story. And seeing the beautiful builds come to life! Hope youre doing well man, I wish you the best
This is epic. I have never seen someone as skilled as shovel241. This minecraft building skills are out of this world. I am loving the whole story behind the builds. This is a true master piece man.
The humor and comradierie is what got me. the build is epic. but the way these friends come together. That is amazing. Well done to everyone involed. love the editing and intro scenes. really great story telling with just those things. Hats off to the entire crew on this one. Shovel, you havea gift, not jsut in your imagination, but in your friends. Those are keepers.
Wow! The amount of detail, lore and time spent one each area is insane! I really like how you split up the work load between multiple people. Keep on going! You've got the Spade approval 👍
12:52 You should add a huge mountain range that doesn’t look special but if you explore it you find hidden magic, libraries, tools and maybe even your own dragon
Dude, that was GREAT!!! It showed even with obstacles, you were able to persevere! That kind of tenacity and drive will get you far in life. Keep up the great vids. I'm hooked!
Shovel, I love your builds and want to be a great builder myself. I don’t have a lot of time of my hands, but if you can build this good i can work to build this build and more!! You opened my eyes and made me realize I can’t build things alone, I need friends and people willing to help. Thank you shovel.
I gotta say, one thing is that the build is absolutely gorgeous. It's really well made and You, Achilles, Mahaan and the Bakers all did extremely well. But the editing? My GOD man, you didn't have to go that hard on making this video, yet you did! That makes this 10 times as entertaining to watch! I sincerely hope you keep that for future videos, because MAN was that reason enough to watch all of this.
I did something like this turning a story into a minecraft inspired DnD campaign my players just left from the second session and everyone is super invested I love it
I think a great addition to the build would be a dragon cave where all females come on sacred days of the year and give birth to the eggs of the next generation it could be carved into the mountain towards or the center (or the heart of the mountain) only a select few of people can ever visit and it is one of the most sacred places to the people due to it being significant towards the peoples way of life and culture it can also represent the being of life
The massive circular formation on the continent looks like a crater formed from an asteroid impact, complete with the center island as the central peak, a feature found in many large craters. A lot of asteroids/meteorites have a sort of conglomerate appearance from their slow formation, so perhaps any royal palaces could have the stonework made of conglomerate material (kind of like the diorite texture, but darker and on a larger scale) from the original impactor. Finding parts of a body that created a crater is very rare, so such material would be perfect for palaces or places of worth to demonstrate the value of the location.
I love watching minecraft builders and at first I was worried that I wouldn't be satisfied after watching all these other incredible builders, but I gotta say, you are AMAZING and HIGHLY UNDERATED. KEEP IT UP CUZ UR GONNA GET BIG ONE DAY.
"will make tolkien pee his pants" is an incredible amount of hubris in an incredibly short sentence. Don't take it up against the Archfather of Worldbuilding. Tolkien was a madman. He literally wrote hundreds of stories, created several full fletched languages (like actually linguistically complete-ish), drew perhaps thousands of characters, places, etc. We all know his son published like a bunch of all his extra work after his death. But Tolkien was obsessed, like properly kindoff scary, the way only an artist can be, obsessed. And the lore that we even have in the published material is only an incredibly small fraction of Middle Earth. But all jokes and Lotr-fandom aside; this is insane man, and your worldbuilding is awesome and so detailed. I think there's some of that same obsession in your work. Its great stuff! Amazing to see Minecraft be used for something rhat transcends it in such a way!
Your ideas are simply crazy!!!! Cant wait for the next location to be made ❤❤ With all of the lore and the buildings, i actually want now to read your book, im sure it would be incredible, you are creating a fascinating universe!!!!
Between the editing storytelling planning and your builds to fact you're not sitting on a million subscribers and millions of views is criminal My personal opinion I think you're up there with someone to top Minecraft TH-camrs just off the storyline and editing alone.
Lore idea that's probably WAY too late but I'm typing it anyways: Whilst the Zephyr and Alphasdominated the mountains and valleys, deep underneath the mountains, hidden away in the small caves and ravines underground, live a small tribe of hoarders and survivalists, a branch of Zephyrs that were bitter and hated the Alphas for taking over their mountains, blatantly ignoring their religion by trespassing on the sacred peaks, and taking their dragons. they call themselves the Sythen, digging connections between tunnels and making bridges and traps to capture young, adventuring dragons who happen to get into the tunnels, erase the trail and keep anyone from finding them in the great maze of tunnels, and harvest any other minerals, creatures, and energies that enter the caverns. the Sythen train the Younglings, as they call baby dragons, to be completely loyal to their assigned caretaker. They breed the dragons with the most optimal powers or traits together, like for sneaking aboveground they would pair flexible, dark-scaled dragons, and those could also be used to hunt and further explore in the caverns. The training for the people is no less hard and designed to make optimal soldiers. The training officially starts when a child is at least 9, but parents often teach the basics earlier. the children each get to choose a dragon to train with so the bond starts early and flourishes to an unshakeable, sturdy connection between the two. they train in maneuvers, strategy, increasing intuition and reaction times, learning anatomy, and the sneakiest, stealthiest ways to take out an enemy. They soon become highly elite, and all this preparation and development of weapons happens deep underground so that the Zephyr and Alphas never find out about the army of bitter, angry, and powerful Wingers ready to attack... until it's too late. I hope you like this,
JEEEESUS Every video you upload is a new surprise. I keep thinking it's not possible to improve more, and yet you keep on doing it video after video Incredible! Not just the building itself, which is mindblowing, but the editing and commentary also Great, great work! You definitelly inspire me
I have idea, you can make a guy from a poor tribe who is cursed. His curse consist as everyone without exception is very afraid of him and run out even before they see him. This guy find an huge castle and because everyone ran out he is able to enter in these castle and he finally decide to live in there. That was my idea thanks for reading and sorry if I made mistake, I'm french and I still have a lot to learn about English. Ps:I love your video
I love this fortress, thank the sky limit because it turned your idea of a generic Dracula castle into a really cool draconic stronghold. The only negative I see is the arena. It's way too small and cramped for an indoor training and fighting arena for huge dragons. The ceiling is flat and way too low, the sectioning transforms a large enough room into four tiny ones. I have a hard time imagining tamers doing any aerial maneuvers in here, or the largest dragons getting through these tiny doorways. An outdoor arena and training facilities between the mountain peaks would have made more sense in my opinion.
Perhaps in the giant bay you could add a massive underwater city within a raveen. There could be a castle and an under water volcano or hot spring. The sea people could be a neutral group who want peace with everyone around them. They'd have gills aswell as lungs for land travel and trade. Idk might be a good idea for you
omg bless u for having properly done subtitles. I have auditory processing issues and you made my life sm easier. I’m so used to horrible subtitles that make no sense. Ty bro-
you should add some dark evil caves, made by the alphas that are hiding their evil secrets and hidden dragons that they are breeding to use to conquer the Omega's in the North
13:28 I like that you basically took the Greek symbol, Ω (Omega), which means End, and turned it into an A, which the Greek symbol Α (Alpha) means Beginning
Everything is good in this video, the editing, the builds, the lore, EVERYTHING. Congratulations on your project, I hope you can recover your mental health hahaha
@@viywtfits called inspiration, artists don’t just come up with something, they get inspired. Thats like if I talked, am i stealing my parents vocabulary?
No hate or offence, but remember to leave energy for real life too. It's okay to play games, but at the end of the day it's just a false reality. You think you are acheving a lot, but in reality you aren't. Maybe take a break from gaming and focus more on real life. If you put in the work you will be amazed on how much you acheved. Anyways awesome build!
you are right... to an extent. I agree that people do need to enjoy the actual world sometimes but if you were to look at his channel page you can see that he is verified meaning that this probably his job
I think he does go outside and just has a constant joke of spending a lot of time on here, take him as an author for an example. The author is creating his own world, something that represents the beauty and personality in life, he is writing a book, page by page, and yes it takes a lot of work, but once finished people all over the world, the real world, can read the book and see this world too, and gather awe and inspiration to start their own book, their own world, full of wonder and nature, and inspire others as the author inspired them. Shovel has already written his book, but he wants to see it with his own eyes, to look around him and see his work, not just attempting to by reading words on a page, to take his work to the next level, and now hundreds of thousands of people look and are inspired and the creativity cycles continuously and grows to this day, and that, is a wonderful achievement
Yeah, I 100% agree with you there. Lots of the areas in the main castle/school aren't perfect architecturally, I really love how magical tall ceilings are especially in cathedrals, government buildings, etc. It's a principle called Marché, but lots of minecraft builders tend to just cut things up into floors and call it a day, when a really good ceiling can make a building feel so much more impressive.
One more idea that popped.into my mind was if there was a group of zephyr that fled with their dragons during the Alpha's take over. They could have made plans to retake the city and drive out the alphas, but after seeing how compliant their people have become just decided to leave and lever return, or continue to plot against the alphas in secret
something to say , when i searched"the best mc builders of all time"on youtube, your videos came up,you and your friends truely deserve to be the best builders
REMEMBAH WHO YOU AREEEEE

Not gonna lie, I kind of want to see you make an epic dirt hut.
He has, in a short
You know what I want him to do, at least something crazy like I never seen before
We need a full video on that
Oh thank goodness I thought I was the only one
Nuh-uh, no one wants to see that epic dirt hut more than me bruh
This video is mad. The way the lore is presented is so engaging.
Glad you liked it! It’s tough to make lore engaging so I’m happy that it made its way through!
You deserve so much more attention
This is absolutely amazing
I hoestly think the flat roofs make much more sense that large pointy ones. If this is a dragon university there is gonna need to be somewhere for the dragons to take off and land at the school and the flat roofs make for perfect dragon pads.
They should've added a few dragons on the flat roofs
Yeah that's what I thought too!
I love that thought. I was thinking it make more sense but I didn't think that far into it. I also believe he could have simply took the whole mountain range or the island itself and lowered everything down
Yeah that makes sense. That's why Harry survived the Horntail. mf can't perch on Hogwart's roofs

You had me at ‘therapists are replaceable’.
I mean, they’re not just build videos but idk how to classify them anymore. Masterpieces is prolly fine

I agree so much.. these are awesome
This is a straight up masterpiece, from the very building to the music and editing.
Honestly im blown away with the detail put into the build and also the style of ur editing is amazing the fact u only have 180k subscribers is acc a crime definitely one of the best builders ive ever seen. ur builds never disappoint keep up the good work!

This is probably one of the best builds I've ever seen. Cheers man, I wish you all the best for your future projects!
Would any one Else want to see shovel host one of those civilization events with like 500 players on his amazing maps😊
yes
Yes we should also get moders in on it.
@@emilixthefox imagine if they made it so the dragons and things like that moved! that would be so cool!
10 000 Players
Instead of just players mix in a civilization called the builders
I cryed when you said ``It's time to call the cavalry`` That is something I've never been able to do to start/plan or whatever to do with any of my ideas as projects.
The editing, humor, all the different people and of course a build defined just as much by its elagance as it is by its uhhh... epicness? I mean just look at it! all of it just comes togther to create an awesome video. great work :D
First of all, you do the best minecraft building videos in humanity history, and second, you are probably the best builder to have ever existed. You said we could talk about lore in the comments. so let's not wait. A possible project for a future video could be a city where the gods stay, for exemple on the island at the middle of Etheria. Think of it like a sacred place, from which the gods could watch over humans (and others), as long as it is in the middle of the world. All the gods would worship a single creature, the absolute, which was the first ever alive being to exist. He created the gods themselves, and Etheria. The build coud resemble a mix between Asgardian architecture and ancient greek architecture. Hope you see my comment !
I absolutely love how you hype up and spotlight each of the builders that help you along the way!
My god you are insane.
You need to completly blow up.
I wish you luck on your adventures and i hope you find the recognition you deserve.
"The Arcane Cliffs."
The craftsman took a deep breath.
"The Arcane Cliffs is a place where reality becomes a fantasy. Pure power radiates from the entire mountain range, yet only few are capable of using it. Mountains as tall as Gods tower across this land, their smooth, almost vertical sides marred with jagged slashes, huge enough to have been carved by a dragon. These slashes form a mesmerizing pattern of runes, runes even a craftsman like I have never seen before. A vibrant golden gleam emanate from inside these runes, blinding those who stare directly into it. It is rumored that, once, a deity saw this incredible region and fantasied about owning and living in a castle mounted upon the highest peak. This deity however, after attempting to built said palace, was rendered powerless, blind, by the sheer light that burst through every crack in the surface of the mountain. They came crashing down from their place in the heavens, and were left as a mere mortal. The only thing this deity was left with, reminding them of the power they once had, and could still have, had they not been greedy, were two runes, carved on the outside of their eyelids."
The craftsman glanced up at our Divine Ruler, the ruler of the Fey. The Divine Ruler nodded their head, and indicated for the craftsman to continue.
"But you may wonder, children, what is causing this bright light? Why exactly did the deity fall? Well, that was one of the great mysteries in the world, until a triad of adventurers stumbled upon these cliffs, unaware of the power they held."
I raised my hand.
"Yes?"
"Whose power were they unaware of, their own or the cliffs'?"
"Both. When they saw these runes, they decided to investigate, as any foolish 'hero' would do. However, one of the members, a boy, was not blinded by the light of the runes. He wandered deeper into the crevices the slashes had made, and witnessed something our mortal minds can only describe as a complete miracle. An angel the size of a castle was sitting, cross-legged, in the middle of the mountain, which was hollow. The angel, when aroused by the boy's entrance, opened its eyes in an elegant way only mastered by the most noble of rulers. It inclined its head at the newcomer, but, upon making eye contact, snarled. It seemed to have originally mistaken the boy for one of the mountain-dwellers, the Hesperides and the Oreads. When it came to the realization the boy was not one of its worshippers, it flung a glowing palm out, gestured at the crevice the boy had entered from, and spoke, in a deep baritone, equal to thunder in the way it shook the floor.
"Leave my home. Tell them who I am. Tell my story. You are welcome here no longer, but my story is welcome in your head, and many others. Leave."
The boy, finally seeing the sense in fleeing, retreated swiftly. However, as he grew older, his sight left him, dimmed already as nothing he ever saw again could compare to the wonders he have witnessed in those Cliffs."
The craftsman removed his blindfold, as did our Divine Ruler. Both revealed glassy, unfocused eyes - the craftsman's were a coppery chocolate and our Ruler's were an incredible violet. The craftsman spoke once more, after silence had fallen over the people in the hall like a blanket.
"I am that boy, and I am sharing the story of the angel. I encourage you all to visit the Arcane Cliffs, to embrace its power, and to trade with the nymphs there. They are hospitable, and they will give you shelter when you say that we-", he gestured at the Divine Ruler, "-sent you. We have both seen the angel, and advise you not to venture into the crevices, lest you have Hesperides or Oreads to accompany you, and provide you with eye protection"
The child beside me raised her hand.
"But sir, you were the only one who entered the cave of your group - how can our Divine Ruler-", she bowed her head in respect, "-have also seen the angel?"
The Divine Ruler chuckled, and shut their eyes.
"Dear child, whatever made you assume I was in that group?"
Golden strokes began to illuminate their eyelids, forming... two runes.
"Greed is permanent slavery, a permanent wall blocking you from previous heights. Do not fall into its trap, my children. Do not become like me."
oh boy. you read all of that? you really thought it was over? nah. shovels builds are literally my muses.
The Dragon Riders:
There are four main species of dragon, and therefore four training groups. They are trained separately to cater specifically to their dragon species' needs.
The Fire dragons are extremely aggressive, so Fire Tamers are extremely strong, and trained in combat - they are the army's first line.
The Water Dragons are more peaceful - they work as a defense (due to their healing powers), and they teach very young Tamers - so Water Tamers are generally teachers and healers.
The Air Dragons are smaller, and work as spies. They are extremely stealthy, and can turn invisible at will - but they are not predator dragons (they have practically no offense skills). Therefore, Air Tamers are trained spies, and are much better at long distance combat than close combat.
The Earth Dragons are extremely smart. They are easy to tame, but will only be so once they have chosen their rider - an Earth Dragon will only ever have one Rider, unlike the others. The Earth Riders are the leaders and are the generals of the Rider civilization.
The 'angel' spoke of above is actually the Light Dragon - the only one of its kind. The Light Dragon guards a civilization of nymphs, who reside inside the mountain. The Light Dragon has never left the mountain, so its power are unknown to the outside world. (no this is not me being lazy to come up with powers for it, shush). It is ten times larger than the other dragons, but once every month a group of Riders, or just people, from the village below are selected to enter the mountain. They always come back, report that the village is still in good condition, and that the Light Dragon remains alive.
i will be adding more, and might log into the lore server at one point lol
Chill out bro

this is amazing
Ahhhhhh!!! This is INSANE dude! I also am writing a fantasy book of my own and have been on and off trying to build a Minecraft world for it, but I just didn’t know how to to it. This video inspired me so much to keep at it!
Also I love your editing style it’s really amazing you’ve just gained another subscriber :)
You should definitely try to write this story, man! It sounds really cool and i feel like there's a big and interesting lore whitin the world. With a good writing, interesting plot, cool characters and development and a great world building (the beauty of this world needs a good world building) I'm sure this gonna make an amazing fantasy book.
Yall should all be more famous and popular like omg- such attention to detail and editing, as well as animations! Also this storyline sorta reminds me of the mother of dragons a bit!:)
This is absolutely insane! The builds are looking amazing! You have truly mastered the skill of building.
This is the best mc video i have seen. I have been watching minecraft for like 7 to eight years i would love to build like you all with all of your unique understanding of the blocks and how all of the shading comes together ❤ thank you for the 20 mins of entertainment good luck on your next build.
It is crazy to me how I have literally watched you become the best over such a short time. I know it has been a lot of hard work but bravo your editing and building are almost completely unrivaled.
I really love the brutalist-gothic architecture combo, it is extremely unique and so well done. It might not be what you originally had in mind, but for me it was way way better cus it added more personality to it.
Dude... This is INSANE! You are such a good creator and I love all your friends helping you make these builds come to life. I legit don't comment on videos but I had to because this is just awesome. Please keep this series going I cant wait to see what you have for the future!
Poor Snarple during Achilles' intro... bro was winning, got the table flipped, his drink spilled, and then got kicked in the face!
This is the most insane project I’ve ever seen!! And in only one month? I take like 2-3 to make nothing even remotely as interesting. I hope to one day learn your ways of constructing such beauty
I dont know what impressed me more in this video, the editing, the mega building or the lights on the castle windows!!!
You all are such a great team. That was a lot of fun to watch.
Shovel I love the video, Just to warn you, this is a year long idea, with a story and plot twists, with very big youtubers able to react to it. With all of the projects, take your time, and make each section a month to finish to keep progress. See you in the future I will hope you finish all
How does this man only have 100k subs. His work and dedication deserve way more. Standing ovation
Agree
Dude your bulids are insane and the story is as equally as good! You really inspire me to expand on my own fantasy world which I made over 6 years ago and share it through youtube and stories as well! I love how you look at different cultures for inspiration as it shows you really research everything! Keep doing what you love man! I'll be here to support and Im sure hundreds of others will be as well! Love from Australia!
This video is epic! This build is epic! Has to be my favorite video so far! It was funny, content-packed and enjoyable to watch! Can't wait to see what you build next!
This is honestly one of the most impressive Minecraft videos I've ever seen. I've been in the game for over 12 years and this definitely takes the 5 top best Minecraft videos.
This was amazing Shovel!!!! So glad I could help out, count me in for the next project 😎
Amazing job on the build! I LOVED the way it turned out, and really admire your patience with such a massive project. And Achilles had my jaw dropping at "Not my best build", like, how can you say something about such a BEAUTIFUL outcome?! Smh the audacity of them.
Absolutely amazing like always!! Your channel has been growing so fast recently, and you totally deserve it. I love listening to you explaining the story. And seeing the beautiful builds come to life! Hope youre doing well man, I wish you the best
Made in abyss
@@foxgamerz7314 yes
This is epic. I have never seen someone as skilled as shovel241. This minecraft building skills are out of this world. I am loving the whole story behind the builds. This is a true master piece man.
The humor and comradierie is what got me. the build is epic. but the way these friends come together. That is amazing. Well done to everyone involed. love the editing and intro scenes. really great story telling with just those things. Hats off to the entire crew on this one. Shovel, you havea gift, not jsut in your imagination, but in your friends. Those are keepers.
This is my first video I’ve seen of yours. Instant subscribe! I love this! Your book sounds amazing!
Wow! The amount of detail, lore and time spent one each area is insane! I really like how you split up the work load between multiple people. Keep on going! You've got the Spade approval 👍
i discovered your channel 2 days ago and i just started loving it
Bro your building talent is amazing, u deserve more subscribers!
This is incredible. I wish I was able to make builds like these. You and your friends are amazing builders!
The castle looks so realistic, that when I looked at it when it was finished, I thought, "You're not playing minecraft!!"
12:52 You should add a huge mountain range that doesn’t look special but if you explore it you find hidden magic, libraries, tools and maybe even your own dragon
I'd love to see shovel making an underground section of the castle where the ancient dragon masters would go to train themselves
Dude, that was GREAT!!! It showed even with obstacles, you were able to persevere! That kind of tenacity and drive will get you far in life. Keep up the great vids. I'm hooked!
Man kept his word and made the best dirt hut
Shovel, I love your builds and want to be a great builder myself. I don’t have a lot of time of my hands, but if you can build this good i can work to build this build and more!! You opened my eyes and made me realize I can’t build things alone, I need friends and people willing to help. Thank you shovel.
I gotta say, one thing is that the build is absolutely gorgeous. It's really well made and You, Achilles, Mahaan and the Bakers all did extremely well.
But the editing? My GOD man, you didn't have to go that hard on making this video, yet you did! That makes this 10 times as entertaining to watch!
I sincerely hope you keep that for future videos, because MAN was that reason enough to watch all of this.
I did something like this turning a story into a minecraft inspired DnD campaign
my players just left from the second session and everyone is super invested I love it
I think a great addition to the build would be a dragon cave where all females come on sacred days of the year and give birth to the eggs of the next generation it could be carved into the mountain towards or the center (or the heart of the mountain) only a select few of people can ever visit and it is one of the most sacred places to the people due to it being significant towards the peoples way of life and culture it can also represent the being of life
The massive circular formation on the continent looks like a crater formed from an asteroid impact, complete with the center island as the central peak, a feature found in many large craters. A lot of asteroids/meteorites have a sort of conglomerate appearance from their slow formation, so perhaps any royal palaces could have the stonework made of conglomerate material (kind of like the diorite texture, but darker and on a larger scale) from the original impactor. Finding parts of a body that created a crater is very rare, so such material would be perfect for palaces or places of worth to demonstrate the value of the location.
Greek gods make therapists need therapy. Just a fun fact. Hephaestus was thrown off a cliff as a baby.
I love watching minecraft builders and at first I was worried that I wouldn't be satisfied after watching all these other incredible builders, but I gotta say, you are AMAZING and HIGHLY UNDERATED. KEEP IT UP CUZ UR GONNA GET BIG ONE DAY.
"will make tolkien pee his pants" is an incredible amount of hubris in an incredibly short sentence. Don't take it up against the Archfather of Worldbuilding. Tolkien was a madman. He literally wrote hundreds of stories, created several full fletched languages (like actually linguistically complete-ish), drew perhaps thousands of characters, places, etc. We all know his son published like a bunch of all his extra work after his death. But Tolkien was obsessed, like properly kindoff scary, the way only an artist can be, obsessed. And the lore that we even have in the published material is only an incredibly small fraction of Middle Earth.
But all jokes and Lotr-fandom aside; this is insane man, and your worldbuilding is awesome and so detailed. I think there's some of that same obsession in your work. Its great stuff! Amazing to see Minecraft be used for something rhat transcends it in such a way!
3:43 Ok, even that looks amazing. But you're shovel241, so you'll make it even more beatiful.
Your ideas are simply crazy!!!! Cant wait for the next location to be made ❤❤
With all of the lore and the buildings, i actually want now to read your book, im sure it would be incredible, you are creating a fascinating universe!!!!
Between the editing storytelling planning and your builds to fact you're not sitting on a million subscribers and millions of views is criminal My personal opinion I think you're up there with someone to top Minecraft TH-camrs just off the storyline and editing alone.
being able to build like this is incredible i wish i was on the same level but ill stick to my comfy houses in the jungles
Lore idea that's probably WAY too late but I'm typing it anyways:
Whilst the Zephyr and Alphasdominated the mountains and valleys, deep underneath the mountains, hidden away in the small caves and ravines underground, live a small tribe of hoarders and survivalists, a branch of Zephyrs that were bitter and hated the Alphas for taking over their mountains, blatantly ignoring their religion by trespassing on the sacred peaks, and taking their dragons. they call themselves the Sythen, digging connections between tunnels and making bridges and traps to capture young, adventuring dragons who happen to get into the tunnels, erase the trail and keep anyone from finding them in the great maze of tunnels, and harvest any other minerals, creatures, and energies that enter the caverns. the Sythen train the Younglings, as they call baby dragons, to be completely loyal to their assigned caretaker. They breed the dragons with the most optimal powers or traits together, like for sneaking aboveground they would pair flexible, dark-scaled dragons, and those could also be used to hunt and further explore in the caverns. The training for the people is no less hard and designed to make optimal soldiers. The training officially starts when a child is at least 9, but parents often teach the basics earlier. the children each get to choose a dragon to train with so the bond starts early and flourishes to an unshakeable, sturdy connection between the two. they train in maneuvers, strategy, increasing intuition and reaction times, learning anatomy, and the sneakiest, stealthiest ways to take out an enemy. They soon become highly elite, and all this preparation and development of weapons happens deep underground so that the Zephyr and Alphas never find out about the army of bitter, angry, and powerful Wingers ready to attack... until it's too late.
I hope you like this,
Damn
I read the whole thing and it was incrediy
*incredible
JEEEESUS
Every video you upload is a new surprise. I keep thinking it's not possible to improve more, and yet you keep on doing it video after video
Incredible!
Not just the building itself, which is mindblowing, but the editing and commentary also
Great, great work! You definitelly inspire me
You are so creative! You have a good storytelling voice too! And ofcourse you are one of the best builders I have ever seen!
Thanks you so much for amazing videos and awesome builds! I love ur Chanel!
I have idea, you can make a guy from a poor tribe who is cursed. His curse consist as everyone without exception is very afraid of him and run out even before they see him.
This guy find an huge castle and because everyone ran out he is able to enter in these castle and he finally decide to live in there.
That was my idea thanks for reading and sorry if I made mistake, I'm french and I still have a lot to learn about English.
Ps:I love your video
Let's all take the time to appreciate the effort that these videos take, not just the build, but the planning, the process, the editing, everything
I love this fortress, thank the sky limit because it turned your idea of a generic Dracula castle into a really cool draconic stronghold. The only negative I see is the arena. It's way too small and cramped for an indoor training and fighting arena for huge dragons. The ceiling is flat and way too low, the sectioning transforms a large enough room into four tiny ones. I have a hard time imagining tamers doing any aerial maneuvers in here, or the largest dragons getting through these tiny doorways. An outdoor arena and training facilities between the mountain peaks would have made more sense in my opinion.
Tricksyblocks: don’t steal my flow
Perhaps in the giant bay you could add a massive underwater city within a raveen. There could be a castle and an under water volcano or hot spring. The sea people could be a neutral group who want peace with everyone around them. They'd have gills aswell as lungs for land travel and trade. Idk might be a good idea for you
Let's just take a second to admire how much his video editing has transcended being amazing 🤩
omg bless u for having properly done subtitles. I have auditory processing issues and you made my life sm easier. I’m so used to horrible subtitles that make no sense. Ty bro-
I'll just come out and say it, this video transcends any standards we had for Minecraft videos. Amazing build and a masterpiece of video man!
FR
you should add some dark evil caves, made by the alphas that are hiding their evil secrets and hidden dragons that they are breeding to use to conquer the Omega's in the North
I am waiting for this video for so long. I check your channel every day for this video and i am also a small builder.
Same thats amazing ❤ this world really is tiny 😮🎉❤
🙂
I’ve been checking every day to I’m so exited!!!!!
13:28 I like that you basically took the Greek symbol, Ω (Omega), which means End, and turned it into an A, which the Greek symbol Α (Alpha) means Beginning
It was intentional 🙃
I feel like this is Hogwarts and hogsmeade from Harry Potter
Everything is good in this video, the editing, the builds, the lore, EVERYTHING. Congratulations on your project, I hope you can recover your mental health hahaha
Your building is super impressive, but please do not use ai
No. its super useful
@@swordierre9341 but it steals art from artists
@@viywtfits called inspiration, artists don’t just come up with something, they get inspired. Thats like if I talked, am i stealing my parents vocabulary?
Slick builds, and tight editing. Kick-ass.
No hate or offence, but remember to leave energy for real life too. It's okay to play games, but at the end of the day it's just a false reality. You think you are acheving a lot, but in reality you aren't. Maybe take a break from gaming and focus more on real life. If you put in the work you will be amazed on how much you acheved. Anyways awesome build!
you are right... to an extent. I agree that people do need to enjoy the actual world sometimes but if you were to look at his channel
page you can see that he is verified meaning that this probably his job
@@Ameon_1+ he probably loves this as much as doing other things with friends apart from videogames and does both
@@xdavidseral24x you are right
I think he does go outside and just has a constant joke of spending a lot of time on here, take him as an author for an example. The author is creating his own world, something that represents the beauty and personality in life, he is writing a book, page by page, and yes it takes a lot of work, but once finished people all over the world, the real world, can read the book and see this world too, and gather awe and inspiration to start their own book, their own world, full of wonder and nature, and inspire others as the author inspired them. Shovel has already written his book, but he wants to see it with his own eyes, to look around him and see his work, not just attempting to by reading words on a page, to take his work to the next level, and now hundreds of thousands of people look and are inspired and the creativity cycles continuously and grows to this day, and that, is a wonderful achievement
⬆️ Except for he probably doesn’t think like that at all 😂😂😂
11:19 I think the areana needs more height. It looks as if the dragons can't fly around. Other than that, an absolutely fantastic build!
Yeah, I 100% agree with you there. Lots of the areas in the main castle/school aren't perfect architecturally, I really love how magical tall ceilings are especially in cathedrals, government buildings, etc. It's a principle called Marché, but lots of minecraft builders tend to just cut things up into floors and call it a day, when a really good ceiling can make a building feel so much more impressive.
I think you should build a pod of bioluminescent alien whales in a pretty orange sunset over the ocean. Oh, and don’t forget to add puffy clouds☁️
One more idea that popped.into my mind was if there was a group of zephyr that fled with their dragons during the Alpha's take over. They could have made plans to retake the city and drive out the alphas, but after seeing how compliant their people have become just decided to leave and lever return, or continue to plot against the alphas in secret
STOP I ACTUALLY WANT THAT CASTLE ON THE THUMBNAILL
something to say , when i searched"the best mc builders of all time"on youtube, your videos came up,you and your friends truely deserve to be the best builders
You deserve more than 1M tbh...
All your builds are soo good!
I can't even build a dirt house.
I love the Builds in the video. So many talented builders.
this world makes me want to start a D&D campaign
Amazing work. The only thing this is missing is some flying dragons around the castle
