Yup! Everything here is done by me (with the exception of the ai generated ideas and help from the other builders I mention). But I build, record, render, write, and edit everything myself. The character designs are renders done in blender with the Zamination Minecraft rig
@@shovel241 I have Bleder player models like that. One is a basic poseable model and the other has a changeable face. I also have models of EVERY BLOCK!
I'm terrible at story telling but please do a build in the Arcane Cliffs! They look incredible and I'd love to see what you could do with that terrain!
@@pianoman5259 long ago an ancient civilization doted the land only to fall into despair soon after it fell the builders of the civilization cried for the last time soon the ruins fell into disrepair with the ancient civilizations doting the nearby it. it was attack by tribes so many times. after a long battle a tribe destroyed the civilization and left it to rot
The arcade cliffs are home to the most powerful wizards. Its hole power comes from the lightning strikes of manaja which put the runes into the mountains also thats why the mountains are that hight to like be as close to manaja as possible. On the top of the mountains you can find magical creatures like from avatar 1. (For this hole arcade cliffs build really gives of the vibe of the halalulja mountains from avatar 1 maybe u could include some stuff from there..
Yeah i’d say the arcane cliffs are probaboy the best option for a build because i feel like the space mesa would just be too limiting in terms of what you could build that would fit well with the biome
Xisuma shouted this video and you out today on GoodTimesWithScar’s twitch stream. He called it the best Minecraft video he has seen in years. I would agree. This is amazing editing, story telling and building. Well done Shovel.
@@nightmarepokemon1143 I am not sure about a link but it was his twitch stream from two days ago titled “The Most Boring Stream on Twitch” scroll through looking for when he is interacting with xisuma and watch all that.
Ironically, this is a testament to the superiority of human creativity over anything AI-generated. Each biome only came to life thanks to massive collaboration, the judges all showed their unique perspectives and preferences, and even the ChatGPT ideas were based on a database of extremely creative people who put out their ideas on the internet and expected nothing in return. Even the editing of the video is way more creative than anything that a computer could think of. Great stuff, definitely subscribing after this one.
Give AI a decade or so and it will be making stuff far beyond human capablity. The only limit it has is humans, hopfully it finds a way to bypass that limit ethically and or morally.
Honestly the Arcane Cliffs is the one i liked the most, especially with the judges suggesting a Vlad-like Castle, Dragon’s Nest, Skyrim Builds, it really caught my attention and would love to see this biome in action
Arcane Cliffs were really good, but the Fertile Valley was super underrated. It adds that extra spice to what would normally be a regular Minecraft biome and I love it! The circles give me really cool Avatar vibes (the blue people)
The volcano one isn’t actually a bad idea. It would perfectly fit in with Minecraft’s already excising terrain, + with the new mountain generation, a volcano wouldn’t take too much effort to create.
Yes i also think the volcano biome would be good. You could have a mob called the lava whale that lives in the volcano and it drops a lava orb which can be used to craft a powerful fire weapon.
Yes but here's the thing. The volcano biome is called "The Fiery Forge" which is an already existing area in Minecraft Dungeons, an OFFICIAL Minecraft game. It's where you fight the Redstone Monstrosity and it just happens to be set in a volcano.
The Arcane cliffs: A majestic place that gives off an eye-catching aura, although not visible to the human eye, it feels as though you could see it. A singular castle sits atop the mountain in the centre of this biome, owned by the giants; a species that carries immense strength and wealth, their source of their menacing strength comes from a huge tree, which seems to be the source of every blossom tree in the world of Minecraft and it seemingly is located in the interior of the Giants castle, it towers over every giant, even with the giants horrifically gargantuan height, making it so that they could destroy a whole civilisation with a group stroll, making even the ender dragon look measly, what comes with the Giant castle, is a new boss called “Rodare the king”. He is the king of the giants and is stronger than the warden, Rodare the king’s lair lies below the giant’s castle in a secret labyrinth, with an abundance of Giants protecting their king by slowing the player down. Once you defeat Rodare the king, you mustn’t celebrate just yet, as his commander, Yovek will spawn in after that, and will be a hefty opponent, but if you do defeat both of them, each will drop an item after death, Rodare the king will drop his sword, which will be enchanted upon obtainment and will also have a damage of 17-19, which is incredibly overpowered, as it is enchanted. On the other hand, Yovek will drop his shield, which will block any attack, but has a cooldown. You will also get a hefty amount of Xp, giving you about 30 levels if you are at level 0/1. There is an extra addition to the giant castle, but it is not protected by them, it seems to be a set of scrolls in a chest, these scrolls contain runes on them, which are magical spells that can be learnt. Other than the giants, there are also wizard clans that may reside on the lower grounds of the Arcane Cliffs. They trade for spell books and/or scrolls. And yes I thought of this on the spot.
10:16 This is actually a really good mob idea. They could spawn in underwater caverns and move around like vexes, but they have as much of a chance to help you (like give water breathing or something), as they do to try and kill you with a trident.
this is my first video of yours that i have seen (don't even watch much minecraft content) but you have inspired me. your creativity and enthusiasm is electric. i've spent at least 3x the watch length getting through it-- rewinding back to catch bits editing or admiring your work. thank you sharing this and thank you for being you! your talent is boundless. keep going :)
Please do the arcane cliffs. You could turn it into the resident village map. It would be SO cool if there was a giant castle/mansion on the top with an eeire village on the bottom. You could even make new mobs and mechanics for it, as well as add lore!
A castle or a village wouldn't look but a ruined wizard hut would be perfect. I mean, just imagine it! There is a "Ruin of the magic" block, if you fix it, you release the dark soul and that starts a boss fight
My personal favorite is arcane cliffs. Mainly because of how old and beautiful it looks. Like it has so much structure potential like you could add a castle, a dragon. Maybe even some custom mobs to go with dragon from earlier like say dwarfs and such, I really love it.
In the heart of the Arcane Cliffs, there existed a species of angels that had been dwelling there since time immemorial. They were known as the Arcanians, a majestic and wise species, revered for their vast knowledge of the arcane arts. They had built their capital city in the most remote and isolated region of the cliffs, high up in the clouds where only the bravest of creatures could reach. The city was a marvel of architectural beauty, with buildings and structures that defied gravity and physics. The structures were tall and grandiose, adorned with intricate carvings and precious metals. The Arcanians used a type of crystal that glowed with a soft blue light to illuminate their city, giving it an ethereal and mystical appearance. As one walked through the city's streets, they could feel the magic coursing through the very air they breathed. The buildings were not only grand, but also functional. The Arcanians had created a vast network of tunnels and chambers beneath the city, where they could conduct experiments and practice their craft undisturbed. The city's style was a blend of ancient and futuristic, with hints of gothic architecture, mixed with futuristic elements like metallic accents and advanced technology. The buildings had sweeping arches and domed roofs that were reminiscent of classical architecture, but the use of advanced materials and magical enhancements made them truly unique. The centerpiece of the city was the Grand Cathedral, a massive structure that towered above all others. The cathedral's walls were made of a crystalline substance that refracted the sunlight and created rainbows that danced across the city. The interior of the cathedral was just as awe-inspiring, with intricate carvings and statues that depicted the Arcanians' gods and goddesses. The Arcanians were a peaceful and benevolent species, and their city reflected that. The buildings were not only functional and beautiful, but also imbued with magic that kept the city safe from harm. The Arcanians were a species that lived in harmony with their environment, and their city was a testament to their dedication to preserving the beauty and majesty of the Arcane Cliffs.
Absolutely loved the nymph, or dryad mob concept. So that one. Absolutely amazing work. I wish we actually had a npc companion like that, which could be armored or maybe have its own magic/attacks, rather than the wolf's which always get themselves killed.
Ok, first time you popped up in my recommended. At first, I was shocked by the sharp editing quality and script writing that match many BIG (deserved) Minecraft channels. No clickbait, no inappropriate stuff, just pure content. Then, the building skills came in, and I was brought into a multitude of worlds that come out of only the best of minds - sure, the ideas were from my man ChatGPT, but you guys made them come to proper life. And then I reach for the sub button, and see you have _only_ 100.000?! And the video has 8.000 views?! We have to change this.
When the surface of the world first was formed, it was nothing but plain fields of rock, dirt and water. The first living creatures on the surface, the Giants, towered over anything else. They would endlessly walk the surface of the world, seeking structure, as they felt lonely, like they were the only significant thing in this world. But as time passed and more of the giants gave up the search, one impressively large giant suddenly dug his fingers into the ground, pushing his hands deeper and deeper. To the other giants, he seemed insane, but as their curiosity grew, slowly more giants came to his aid, digging their arms into the ground in front of them. More and more came, and once enough giants gathered with their hands tightly in the ground, the larger giant started pulling, and so, the rest followed. The giants sculpted the first terrain, pulled up the first mountains, dug the first rivers and hollowed out the first caves. But as time passed, the giants did too, and as more and more fell, the rest of the giants thought the only right thing was to honor them, since they helped create the world. The giants made their own lands, where only the deceased would rest, and as their bodies started turning one with the earth they helped create, life started to thrive. Their hairs would sprout roots, giving life to the first plants. Their bones would break down into smaller fragments, giving birth to the first animals, and soon, as the last giant, the one who started it all, fell to rest, the age of the giants was over, and the world we know of today began. Humans were curious creatures indeed. A lot of them knew about the cliffs and valleys where the bodies of the giants rested, but for it to be so full of life, it surely sounded like a fairy tale. The humans would slowly immigrate away from the cliffs of the giants, and as the population decreased, only a few humans were left. They feared that the wrong hands would happen to stumble upon the cliffs, and so they dedicated the rest of their lives to protecting the cliffs. They studied the arcane arts taught by the first enchanter, and learned how together they could enchant more than just tools. They cast protective spells upon the cliffsides, summoned rifts to ask much more powerful creatures for aid against monsters and enchanted the creatures themselves. Slowly, as only the purest of life thrived on the cliffs, the arcane sorcerers slowly decreased in numbers, whereas today, only a handful are left. They can rarely be found withing the forests and cliffs, and because of their powerful magic, the cliffs were known to the very few know have heard about them "The Arcane Cliffs". Many have searched for the cliffs, being due to curiosity, greed or the urge to do good, but very few have ever returned to tell the tale of the Arcane cliffs. Side note : I am extremely new to the channel and only happen to stumble upon you by chance, but I am extremely impressed by yours skills as both a builder and a terraformer. I really enjoy your videos more than I could imagine, and I'm excited for your upcoming content. 👍
@@egizikidThank you sm! I have only ever used ChatGPT for art inspiration and cheating on one of my tests LMFAO I enjoy writing my own fiction by myself
The Arcane Cliffs are divided into 3 sections: The Rune Center, where all the mages in all of Minecraft come together and use the highly developed magical stations, The Thunder Tastle, where the strongest wind mages banded together to make the Arcanum, a device at the center of the castle, it attracts magical energy like a black hole, and last but not least, is the home of the Emperor of all magical creatures, The Dragriffin, it lies in a gaping hole surrounded buy Swirls of Stone and Ice, stalagmites and stalactites hold onto the black hard rock. In the dragons den: Scalia, the walls of the cave is scattered with homes of Tructars, goblin like creatures who sap off the mage energy the dragon gives, sharp blue-green crystals jut out of the walls, the Tructars mine this crystal and use it for their everyday lives, as it is a bendable yet strong substance that also glow. The deepest point in the cave is where the Dragon lies, it is like a birds nest but instead of sticks for the nest, it is made of the crystal. The Arcanum is a yellow orb that is confined by magical chains that keep it from absorbing the whole of the Arcane cliffs. The walls of The Thunder Castle is a nice mix of yellow and purple, fortified with homing magical turrets, The Rune Center is what you will get if you mix a dungeon and a mansion, the thick green walls make gives off a creepy vibe, but it is furnished and has a secret black market where they sell dragon scales and teeth. there are tiny little tribes scattered throughout all these lands. i really hope shovel sees this because i tried my best to make it as creative as i could. Thanks shovel for making this masterpiece of content. Also feel free to edit the more specific details if you feel that it is confining you.
This is great! With some adaptation I think it will fit in the area easily! If you join the Bakery Discord we can speak about its role in the upcoming video! Link is in the video description, but I'll also put it below: discord.gg/bakerybuilders Just join my channel in that Discord and we can connect through there. Hope to hear from you!
The Fertile Plains Lore and Ideas Lore: Legend has it that once upon a time lived a huge magical bear. Most people disregarded it and never bothered about it, but one man from a distant land (any existing city in the map) was travellign through the region when he felt an insane magical power under him. He felt that the legend must be true, and the corpse of the bear could hold extreme magical power, beneficial for anyone living in the area. He took an interest in it. He and his wife went to the land, which was uninhabited, and decided to try to find the remains of the bear that was said to be buried extremely deep underground. He tried to find people who would help him in the excavation and looked far and wide, but everyone thought that he was crazy. He spent years digging the ground, but he could not find anything, although he felt the immense presence. Anyone who came to the region could not feel anything, and everyone thought that the man was crazy, but only one person believed in him, his wife. For centuries, the man's descendants took over the work, even though they could not feel it. They relied on the fertile land to feed themselves. But a couple of decades ago, a seer who lived in the main castle made a prophecy that the day when a boy who could feel the power was born, he alone would be able to uncover the corpse. Now, the king of the region is that boy who can feel it, and the corpse was discovered. The bones from its skeleton are used as building material, and for weapons, vehicles, etc. No one from outside the plains know of this material, and the secret is closely guarded. Ideas for Structures: A huge castle, A shrine for the bear, many farms and fields, a bustling town, and a fort made of this magical glowing substance. There is also a deep quarry where the skeleton is mined.
I was thinking for the shadowlands could have the new Pale Garden sprinkled on the land and trees to make it look more dead and scary like, I also think that it could be a great add on, I don't know much about your story since I've only recently watched a few of them but you could have it where the shadowlands is an abandoned island in the west of your giant island, it can be a fairly decent size but is still very big, you could even add a village that clearly was untouched for many years and everyone in the land was killed by a very deadly and infectious fungi that the people harvested, and due to little symptoms ( Mainly the symptoms of the flu, like a fever) they wouldn't think it came from the fungi and advently their immune system would die out by the dangerous fungi constantly entering the body, having all of the people die from it and only have their souls linger on the island, like how chat GPT said, you could make some souls very dangerous or passive, the more passive ones could be children and the aggressive ones could be adults. and the states that are close to the island fear it, from the eerie sounds that admit from the island! (sorry if this is to long 😅)
The Mesa is really cool, but imo the arcane cliffs biome is still the clear winner. But besides that, the editing was, I don't even know how to express this, insane? mind-bogglingly marvellous? montrously magnificent? I don't know what it was , but it sure was something. Edit: 69 likes now let's go Edit edit: Glad this awesome video is actually performing above average for this channel. 100% deserved.
Oh my, this is wonderful. I would love for the Arcane Cliffs to be in the next vieeo, and I have some ideas! So the arcane cliffs have Wizards, Giants and Ruins, right? The sketch that was shown in the end of that biome - the castle on top - that could be an enormous ruin of days past. Perhaps they are remnants from an ancient war: A couple of centuries ago, the Ice Wizards lived in a secluded castle atop the mountainscape. Having chosen such an extreme environment for their habitat, they were natural experts at survival, lending their magic and protection to anyone who sought them out. One day, however, some magical experiment they conducted angered the Mountain Spirits, and Ice Giants emerged from the snow and ice in the ground, engaging in a brutal war with the Mages. When the Giants ravaged the castle, it seemed like all hope had been lost, when the brave wizards banded together to seal the Giants back in the stone. Eventually, they succeeded, but they burned through their entire power, leaving no wizard strong enough to keep inhabiting the castle, and completely annihilating many - their bodies often times couldn't take the immense power the spells demanded. Nowadays, the castle is deserted, ruined from the battle and never rebuilt. The Giants are sealed in stone, so of their faces and limbs perhaps still peeking out of the mountains where the glowing runes have sealed their fate. Now, dear traveler, tread carefully along this land - or you might wake the Giants once more. I hope you like this idea!
Judges deserve props for working so hard to be as critical as possible. I don’t think I’d be able to resist the urge to just go, “that’s a 10, this one’s a 10, also 10, another 10, oh, and this last one is also a 10”. I get they are basing it off what they already know shovel is capable of, and not necessarily just as a build in general where it could get a much higher rating, but they are honestly such incredible biomes that calling any of them anything around a 7 feel blasphemous to me. 😂
You’ve just gained a subscriber. These builds that you and your friend made from the AI are incredible- I can really see a whole event happening with the Space Mesa biome!
Saying that swamp is ugly is insulting to 90% of players who can't get even close to that level of quality. Its not ugly just because its a swamp. Swamps can be quite beautiful.
how feasible would it be to take these biomes and turn them into actual generated biomes with a datapack? id love to find these mega biomes in a world to build/explore
*from a minecraft explorer* The Space Mesa was once a normal planet home to an advanced ancient civilization who created the Enchanted Runestone, until they tested a summoning rune which caused a black hole to appear most of the civilization some have escaped to Arcane Cliffs eventually becoming the ice Wizards, but enough above the Arcane Cliffs. I have visited the biome before and I have seen fellow explorers ripped apart at the atomic level by the black hole, so I can give you a guide for survival. There will be magnetic blocks in the biome so if you don't want to get pushed or pulled around metal armor is ill-advised and all creatures are destroyed by the black hole, and under any circumstances don't go into the event horizon.
I love the first one, the arches look like they could be from an ancient civilization, where people lived and climbed the arches using stairs, that wind around all of the arches and the complete thing could inhabit a village, and the ruins of an ancient structure. Now to the story (i am from germany, and only in 7th grade, so please be greatfull with my spelling) „There once lived thousands of people here, in a giant city made from quartz and shining crystals, hunting, farming and defending their city to survive, but then they faced an enemy, they couldn‘t defeat. They fell to the powers of the dark, the city got destroyed, every piece of quartz in this once shining white city turned into black corrupted stone. Even the dragon that protected these lands, was slayin by the forces of the end! He fell, ripped a half of the main tower of the city, but that was centuries ago, the ribcage of the giant dragon became grown over andy turned into giant arches made of wood on the outside, and bone on the inside. The skeleton turned into dust mainly, and made the lands extremly fertile, growing thousands of small trees, high grass and some giant trees. The old park of the city, now inhabits a giant tree, where a whole civilization lives on. There are three villages in the tree, and one spread over the once ribcage of the dragon. The dragons skull lays down in the roots of the tree, making an entrance to the now wholy cave, where the new civilization, can see parts of the old city and the horrors it faced. In there also is one, only one new building where all 4 tribes, the tribe of the squirrel, the tribe of the dragon, the tribe of badger and the tribe of the owl worship the ancient sniffer, who helped bring this part of the world back to life after the end destroyed everything. The sniffer changed this part of the world, making the arches and the tree aswell as all of the mountains grow. The End.“ It would be nice to see you interpret this story in a build, and I personaly wanted to see some lore in your world about the end and the sniffer.
I really think the arcane cliffs were the best. You had me inspired from this and I feel like I can do anything so always believe in yourself I know way better builds are coming if that’s even possible. Seriously though this was amazing keep up the good work
8:37 to balance that idea you definitely should limit it to only the blocks in a line of sight and if it doesn’t it it close to a 90° angle it also lights it up less (the north and south pole irl don’t get as many beams of sunlight because one „beam“ is responsible for a bigger area) so it motivates you to build an aurora yourself. It'd be cool if they also like moved and if you had to build some blocks to limit where they can go. 8:44 or they change their collision behaviour depending on how bright they are so bright ones are solid and some that barely glow are kinda like water but less resistant. Then you would have moving auroras which also have some permanently on blocks to orient themselves. Also it should like check for the nearby pattern of the blocks that are on so it doesn’t not fit and creates gradients but there should be a chance it changes because auroras change through many factors. 12:20 you could make shadow auroras/myst (the type of fog). 18:42 space mesa really sounds like a company. The arcane cliffs could be the remnants of a group or entity that is mysterious and might just look normal and might have been watching everyone that came from another dimension and tried to get back.
I really loved the arcane cliffs. I actually have been working on the same type of project you are for a few years but cant get any real progress done i struggled a lot with landscape and i love seeing this and really wanna make these types in my world. im an pretty good builder wouldn't say the greatest i definitely cant do this with world edit since i don't have a lot of knowledge with it. This video did give me some amazing ideas that i wanna try out but idk how to use world edit like this and i never found somebody that could help not on youtube or in communities. I would love seeing more of these in the hope to get some inspiration myself and really looking forward you have been inspiring me to work hard on my project too i just got the perfect size for the world itself even. Gonna be huge but when its finished its gonna look amazing! Keep building and i hope one day i can show you how mine turned out looking!
The space mesa's my favorite it oozes magical energy to me. Matter, repulsion and attraction, possibly light or lightning magic as well. I hope to see this play a role in the story.
Space Mesa: Long ago, before anything existed The Origin, a being of untold origin that contained all power within itself, but as eons upon eons went by, it grew unfathomably lonely, it would dream of a landscape created where all imagonation roamed free, and so as it continued to think about this, everytime it would fall asleep form then point on one of the places it would think about would be created. But over time as it continued to make things it would feel itself growing weaker. But it did not care for this, continuing to keep dreaming until it made everything it ever wanted, barely able to move on how weak it had become as it had been shaping all of this unconsiously using its power meant giving it away to breath the color into it. So at the very center of everything, where nothing was, was supposed to be its biggest project. So it went to the center and fell asleep, giving the last of its power up it died before it could finish its final project. Creating a vacuum in all existence, within the rip in existence, known as the center point was the first and only part of his final project. The first thing he ever dreamed of, a beutiful tree.... which would grow the fruit that would turn into life itself, death, time, reality, space, physics, all we know breathed into the monumental structures the being had created so long ago.
"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." edit: welp if anyone did actually see this please respond with thoughts! im thinking of writing a book about these fae and would love some feedback!
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there were the Arcane Cliffs, a range of towering, mysterious mountains that were said to be home to powerful and ancient magic. Many adventurers had tried to scale the cliffs and unlock the secrets within, but none had returned. One day, a young adventurer named Liam arrived in the nearby village. Liam was brave and determined, and he had always been fascinated by the stories of the Arcane Cliffs. He decided that he would be the one to uncover their secrets. Liam gathered his gear and set out towards the cliffs, accompanied by a small group of fellow adventurers. As they climbed higher and higher, the air grew colder and the winds stronger, but Liam was undaunted. He was determined to uncover the ancient magic hidden within. Finally, they reached the top of the cliffs and found themselves in a hidden valley. The valley was filled with strange, glowing crystals that pulsed with a mysterious energy. In the center of the valley was a towering spire that seemed to stretch up into the sky. Liam and his companions approached the spire, but as they drew near, they were suddenly attacked by a group of fierce, otherworldly creatures. Liam and his companions fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. Just as all seemed lost, a burst of magic erupted from the spire, blasting the creatures back and giving Liam and his companions a chance to regroup. Realizing that the spire was the source of the magic, Liam approached it cautiously. As he drew near, he could feel the ancient energy pulsing through him, and he knew that he had unlocked the secrets of the Arcane Cliffs Liam finally understood why none has returned from the Arcane Cliffs since the power was to strong to harness and needed a strong soul to carry its magic. Liam believed that he was one strong enough in the soul to carry this magical burden and began climbing the spire while his companions kept look out for the creatures return. Once Liam reached the top he glimpsed a flashing light which turned out to be a crystal floating in a glass box which Liam was sure was the source of the Arcane Cliffs power. He approached his knew discovery with caution slowly creeping forward until he was within arms each of the glass box. With newfound confidence Liam put both hands over the glass and lifted it leaving the crystal suspended in the air. Liam reached his hand nervously towards the crystal and snatched it out if the air. All of a sudden in his moment of triumph there was yelling at the bottom of the spire. The creatures had returned! He began quickly descending the spire to try and help his companions but as he descended the floor began to give way and he fell all the way down to the bottom of the spire to his death. With the heart of the Arcane Cliffs removed from its rightful place removed the entire mountain seemed to be fighting against Liam’s companions with the ground shaking and the trees whipping down hem from all sides. After a short battle the brave adventures were defeated and the spire was able to build itself back to its former glory. And with the heart of the Arcane Cliffs power back where it belonged everything was peaceful again among the magical cliffs that none would try to conquer again. Hope you like this one shovel took a while ❤
Bro, so I've never watched your channel before and if someone has already commented this I apologize for the redundancy but, for the building on the Space Mesa, I think you could experiment with satellites, space stations, and I would highly encourage looking at some of the concept art for the Mass Effect series, I feel like you could pull lots of inspiration for what to build on / around the Space Mesa. I would have definitely given the that Biome a 10/10!
In the early days of the church, before magic was categorized and closely monitored, a clan of sorcerers fled their homes and found new refuge in what would become known as the arcane cliffs. Back then, the mountains didn’t stretch as high and the runes that gave the area its namesake weren’t yet carved into the imposing cliff face, but these sorcerers saw potential in these otherwise unremarkable mountains. These sorcerers utilized the lost art of platemoving, the process of nudging a region’s tectonic plates to bend the very ground to their will. They used their gift to carve great runes into the surface of the rock, telling the story of their people. They made their home in the valley, walled off on all sides by the cliffs they raised high into the sky, making longhouses and prioritizing community in all their designs. This worked, for a time, until the church found out that there was still a group of “witches” as they called them, still living in the cliffs. A search party was formed and in a few short years, every part of their refuge was destroyed, along with the inhabitants. They called it a “cleansing,” the destruction of the last group of witches still living in the church’s lands, and the returning armies were met with celebration. This joy would be short lived, however, as the wyrms came into the Fertile Valley, the heart of the church’s territory. They burrowed through the ground, their large circular maws shaping the earth, caring not for what stood in their way. The armies that so easily dispatched the inhabitants of the cliffs were torn apart by pods of snakelike beasts. In a closely guarded sanctum in the highest tower of what was once the largest city of the churchlands, scholars and bishops alike surmised that the only way to stop these creatures from ravaging what was left of their motherland was to go back to the arcane cliffs to learn the platemoving technique that the old sorcerers mastered. So now, around a decade after the “witch hunts,” emissaries and clerics alike scour the ruins of the people they destroyed, hoping to learn their secrets before the wyrms do to their own home what the church did to the people of the arcane cliffs here's my take on the arcane cliffs! I really enjoyed writing this (this is actually my first time putting something Ive written out into the internet. Why yes, I am terrified) your stuff has been a huge inspiration for me in other aspects of my writing so it felt right to add something here, hope everyone enjoys!
It’s amazing to find a creator so passionate about their interests, I found myself watching a ton of your videos and loving every single one. Keep up the amazing work!
My favorite is defently the aurora highlands. I have a story to The aurora highlands were formed by the powerful ice wizards for a sanctuary for all of the magical creatures, so they can take shelter from the harsh environment and monsters lurking in the north. The ice wizard formed the aurora highlands from taking the energy of the northern lights to surround the sanctuary with huge breath taking mountains, that the wizard use to protect the sanctuary with the help from the runes that are carved into the mountains. Hope you like it. If not it’s ok it’s just something i quickly though about. I love your builds and have a wonderful day!
The Arcane Hills: a place of majestic beauty but holds a dark secret. Once a thriving place for wizards is now over ran by ruins and the remains of the wizards. In the ruins you can find a powerful beacon like block that can give new types of enchantments and weapons for the players to use. In the ruins you can find new spells, power ups, loot and more. This biome comes with new mobs such as a guardian that guards the ruins that you will have to fight off. The guardians will have a small chance to drop a rune that u can use to craft new armor, tools, and even the new power ups. It will even come with plantium; a new ore like substance to craft new plantium blocks. Took like an hour to write this and came up with this as I did it. Im not good at story telling so hope this will do 😁
Here's an idea that you can use. The tree in the black hole is the Tree of Yggdrasil from norse mythology? The very source of power of the entire universe. Connecting the 9 realms and bringing stability to the cosmos. It has a small chance of dropping a leaf every once in a while and it can be used to craft gear. The sword of yggdrasil gives you the ability to erase mobs (more like send them to an another realm) and the armor lets you traverse the realms (one of which is the Arcane cliffs) and also the underworld. You can also find the well of destiny in the cliffs and you can retrieve odin's spear from the tree he hung himself from. The spear is a high damage and long range melee weapon that can slowly heal you.
i fell like a good story for the space mesa would go smth like this: A entity of sorts would crash land into a mesa biome. The entity knew it could not return home , so it reshaped the area around his crash site to remind him of his home. The black hole in the middle he would form to have a place to relax/meditate when he was tired. The 2 parts of the biome the one on top and the one on the bottom each represent the day and night cycle. the event horizon symbolising a eclipse of sorts. hope this gives u an idea for the story "Edit: Congrats to Gabriel for being recognised by shovel. Even though his text is sus and possibly ai made, its good for him anyway. I hoped to be useful in the Minecraft community once for my life. cheers 🥂
i prefer the AI takeover where we use it to assist our creations instead of straight up replacing us, learning algorithms like this cant exist without a human to copy off of anyways
If AI just serves as a tool (like it should be indeeded) and not as a replacement, then it will be pretty much accepted globally, even I will accept it if that's the case. We could have the reality similar to how Tony Stark uses AI as a tool and not a replacement.
@@peterbruck3845 Hmm, but will people even know which is totally AI generated and those that are not? I seriously doubt this concern will even matter. Just look at midjourney, they have already won first place at an art show(multiple times) without people knowing it, until it was revealed to them. A blocky game like minecraft would be even easier to trick people.
@@peterbruck3845 I do know that a lot of english teachers are using AI to try and detect AI generated writing even though those methods have been show to be unreliable. Some students have used those same tools on the writing of teachers and it would sometimes tell them that it was ai generated. I doubt it will be much different with art.
Man for a channel with only 117k subscribers you do a lot of work! Not even 2 minutes in and I'm already incredibly impressed with the effort put into the editing and lines as if I'm watching a big movie. Keep up the good work, I hope you get famous soon!
What if the reason the swamp is "haunted" or such is simply because it once held the scene of a massive battle for creatures and empires so far in the past all that's left is the magic, the runes, the scars in the land and lastly the bones etched and steeped in long forgotten magic twining in ever root. The beings there spectral sentinels to a kingdom that even the even the stone used as foundations doesn't exist anymore, BUT if you scrounge deep enough and wade through the wailing dead you can potentially find a magical and ghostly singularity that acts as the beating heart to the war torn swamp and potentially could even release something unto the world. A war weapon made by cruel hands believed by its creators to be the perfect weapon but it could never be implemented or awoken as due to its cruel creation it must feed on souls and malice to awaken, the shell is now thin and any touch may crack it.
4:30 If you want green wood, maybe look up Palo Verde trees. The bark is green so that they can do as much photosynthesis as possible, and it'd be a tree that could grow in desert and/or mesa biomes, which don't have any / many trees of their own quite yet.
I have a idea for Arcane Cliffs. Basically there are 3 races who are fighting for control of the Cliffs and who should live there. The ice wizards powerfoul humans who use the runes on the stones to become stronger. The dwarves small people who live deply into the mountains and use weird weapons. Giants who are not as smart as the other 2 races but are bigger more resistant to cold, magic have thougher skin and live in smaller tribes.
While I dont have any fantastical story that I can come up with, I can definitely say that the Arcane Cliffs is my favorite biome. God tier work, Shovel!
space mesa is sick af so heres your story that im gonna make up on the spot The Space Mesa is an otherworldly biome. And I mean that literally. It is in another world from the rest of Minecraft. Though its surface may seem intimidating, the center is quite peaceful as it has a massive, beautiful cherry blossom tree in it. But it turns back to intimidating as you get deeper. You see, below the tree is an inverted form of the biome. As you get sent out the other side, the orange colors of the biome turn to a light blue, representing the substantially hotter part of the Space Mesa. This time, the outside is peaceful and the inside is intimidating. As you arrive in the blue area, you notice it: a being that cannot be described as a life form nor an automaton. Its body looks like the night sky. It is around 3 blocks tall and has glowing white eyes. It wields two axes, both made of Celestial Obsidian, a material with the strength of sharpness IV netherite. It has the same hp as an ender dragon and its attacks are slow but hard-hitting. It is a very tough fight, but the rewards are great. It drops both of its axes, enchanted with sharpness 2, dealing over 15 damage per hit and 1 attack speed. It also drops an item that cannot be held: Cosmos’s Blessing. It grants the player a permanent jump boost 2, speed 1 and removes fall damage completely. The boss’s arena is pitch black, making it hard to see throughout the fight unless you have night vision. After defeating the boss, you can exit the room and go to the blue area of the black hole, where you can gather the same resource that the boss’s axes are made of. It can be used to craft armor, tools and weapons, including bows and arrows (the arrows are enchanted with infinity and don’t run out so you don’t have to farm a ton of the stuff.) Both the bows and arrows deal three more damage than their basic counterparts. The tools are around 20% faster than gold and the armor is slightly stronger than netherite. There is around 50 ore blocks around the blue area. They respawn after 10 minutes and the boss must be fought again each time the player wants to enter the blue area.
You’re an amazing editor, you earned a sub. The fact that you put that much work into edits is astounding, I thought this was gonna be a slideshow with different pictures, and words under them explaining what biome it was, but no. Mind blowing animations and editing right off the bat. Your underrated sir you have earned my respect (I’ve only watched 33 seconds of the video so far)
Arcane cliffs: long ago there were the arcane Titans that ruled the land, until one day they vanished with their realm. Only bits and pieces of them still remain today, such as the arcane cliffs. Maybe that’s where the secret to the titans powers and what happened to them can be found
Idk if he will see this, but I like lore writing, so here goes. Arcane Cliffs Lore : Hundreds, thousands, millions... no one knows for sure how long ago the arcane cliffs were alive, but we do know they once held the most vast and intelligent magic civilization known to the world. The hardly understood runes and energy that swirl this land have puzzled scholars and magicians alike for possibly eons, but this civilization, dubbed The Eskarians, wielded power that could shape or even destroy the world. It has become widely believed that this civilization shaped the harsher parts of the world to keep the rare magical beast that resides in them protected. One scholar, Jotun, who also happened to be a king decided to move his studies and build a massive castle for research of this ancient people, there he gathered the world's top scholars and magicians, even secretly enlisting help of the omegas, the magic adept who still live in the desert city, The Ark. While excavation was underway for the research castles foundation, an ancient tome was found, preserved, and sealed by magic unknown to even the omegas. After 5 grueling years, an omega named Aratres finally opened the tome. Inside was a horrific tale of the history long forgotten by even the land itself. It told of a traitor, Anyon, a malicious, demented, and wise man who used an unknown force he called arcanry. He used this new magic to summon monsters from another world (minecrafts mobs) to destroy the people and the world as a whole. This event would be called The Rumbling(if you know you know) His plan failed, thwarted by the ancient "omegas" who were then called the valkeries, the magic adept who protected the world from large scale threats, but not without infathomable damage from the onslaught caused by the great ones (wither and ender dragon). The damage prompted the high council, the last eskarians, to make a 2 part plan to rebuild the world as they knew, first they would send the valkeries to all corners of the world to educate and advance the less advanced peoples, and second, they would cast a spell, but this spell was no normal spell, using the dark arcanry combined with the eskarian runics they formed a spell that would sacrifice the lives of the high council and spread their boundless magic power to all the creatures and people of the world giving them the power to fight against threats like the rumbling, the valkeries carried the story of the high council and it was eventually turned into the fable of 8 gods. THE END (Certain names and events inspired by history and historical theories)
Behold, before you lies the arcane cliffs, a harsh and mind-bending biome filled with spear like spiked snowy mountains that only the hardiest of adventurers can brave. From the outside, it's an irradiant picturesque wasteland of ethereal beauty. A closer look under the shining snow and ice, however, reveals that this stunning glacial wilderness was once something more... A city's ruins, preserved by means of thousands of tons of ice lay below, kept in eerily good condition. An architectural marvel, strangely absent of life. Indeed, within the glassy clear ice, a frozen civilization lies, as if time stopped one day, and the frigid mountains and ice moved on. If the player chooses to excavate the ruins, they will be rewarded with rare magical artifacts and runes, some reminiscent of runes used to protect certain strongholds in northern Etheria, and some are unique to the arcane cliffs. Yet none shed light on the former glory of the ruins, nor the civilization that surely came before. What did they look like? Were they human? How did they utilize magic? Questions that will may never be answered lie in the air, along with the familiar magical aura. Or maybe the cliffs are what give off the enchanting hint you taste in the air. High in the air on the mountains, a treasure hunter with steady hands may find themself with a peculiar rune. Embedded in the mountains themselves, these runes can be combined at a crafting table to forge the enchanted runestone, a block similar to the beacon. Another trip to the cliff will provide fuel for the runestone, allowing it to summon a variety of mobs, grant warlike devastating abilities and a diverse array of other effects. This raises the questions, did the past society know the power of these runestones? Were they created by whatever lived in the mountains before? Perhaps these curious runestones were the reason why the mountains are a wasteland in the first place. Nevertheless, the arcane cliffs remain, monuments of the indifference of nature, and maybe the danger of technology's advancement. (Use this if you want idk) (Inspiration from Gabriel Janssesns' comment)
i love how much effort and personality you put in your videos! I'm only 5 minutes in and it feels like I've consumed like 15 minutes worth of content lol.
i came up with a pretty cool idea which is a biome where massive geysers and huge volcanoes are constantly exploding creating amazing looking glowing obsidian crystals and having very unique landscape of black mountains and hills. I'm gonna call it the Scorched Heavens Wildlife: Lava Walkers: these creatures are known for primarily staying near volcanoes. They have also developed to the lower tribal stage but due to the aggressive creatures that live near the volcanoes, its on sight when it comes to anything that may pose a threat Wyrms: a name given by the early lava walkers these are an extremely aggressive type of worm that attacks anything in its vicinity that is alive. it lurks underground and waits for prey to walk over its burrow and its also the reason that the lava walkers don't venture far from their camps. Obsidian larvae: docile and helpful species that produce a sweet dew that is edible and restores one and a half hunger bars if they are not on obsidian they wont move unless there is obsidian within a 10 block radius, which is that case they will move over and stay on the obsidian. They eat crying obsidian and that is how you can tame them. Water Pyxies: helpful species that fly to nearby danger such as lava wyrms and guardians. they are very helpful while navigating the Scorched Heavens and they are immortal to damage. Guardians: Made to protect the ancient lava walkers but abandoned because of the dark energy discovered in them they murder everything they can but if its a lava walker they just ignore them because they recognize them as something they need to protect but their energy prevents them from protecting them so they just roam without a purpose. Glyders: A spider-phantom hybrid they use their wings to glide around during the night looking for small bugs to eat but during daytime they enter a cave and camoflauge to the wall they will attack you but they dont do that much damage. They also kill natural phantoms gliding around in the biome because they see them as a threat. Lore: The minecraft planets moon has a strange orbit that makes it so that it becomes close to the planet in some areas. Creating scorched heaven biomes. This is why scorched heavens biomes appear to look like scars on the planet. When the rare event that the moon goes over a scorched heavens biome happens, a very rare ore known as valianite can be harvested because it is being pulled out from the minecraft earth due to the ores large magnetism attracting itself to the moon. when this event is over, the valianite sinks back into the ground, resulting in small craters where the valianite used to be. It is said that once every 1000 years, the moon gets so close that it starts to attract the planets core and mantle, creating a massive uplift of land that results in a massive disaster across a very wide area creating the notorious floating islands that are located high above the scorched heavens biome. These island are deserted and barren although because of the wildlife that was torn off of the land on the island. They do have small amounts of valianite in them though, but the ones with even two blocks of valianite in them get dragged back down into the earth. This event is also when the obsidian crystals start to break apart because of the switch in gravity and they become a fine powder during this process which creates new landscape and allows room for more crystals. Hope you liked my concept whoever is reading this!
Make a sort of ruined scifi city with plants all over it, and crashed spaceships and stuff. You would find loot in some buildings and a really advanced version of redstone. There would be some kind of traveller dude you could find whom you could trade scrap metal with to get a new item.
The Mushroom biome can be replaced as the Space mesa because the Mushroom biome is the only biome that can be generated far from land also being in the water witch can be a great setting for a Space mesa (as shown in the video). The Mushroom biome as the Space mesa's can also be tied together with the fact that both Blackholes and Mushroom biomes are extremely rare.
Bro, do you edit your videos? Thats insane! Also how do you make that minecraft player styled art ?
Yup! Everything here is done by me (with the exception of the ai generated ideas and help from the other builders I mention). But I build, record, render, write, and edit everything myself. The character designs are renders done in blender with the Zamination Minecraft rig

The arcade cliffs are home to the most powerful wizards. Its hole power comes from the lightning strikes of manaja which put the runes into the mountains also thats why the mountains are that hight to like be as close to manaja as possible. On the top of the mountains you can find magical creatures like from avatar 1.
(For this hole arcade cliffs build really gives of the vibe of the halalulja mountains from avatar 1 maybe u could include some stuff from there..

Yeah i’d say the arcane cliffs are probaboy the best option for a build because i feel like the space mesa would just be too limiting in terms of what you could build that would fit well with the biome

Ironically, this is a testament to the superiority of human creativity over anything AI-generated. Each biome only came to life thanks to massive collaboration, the judges all showed their unique perspectives and preferences, and even the ChatGPT ideas were based on a database of extremely creative people who put out their ideas on the internet and expected nothing in return. Even the editing of the video is way more creative than anything that a computer could think of. Great stuff, definitely subscribing after this one.
Nah they just holding back those powerful Ais', just keep observing as years go through.
Give AI a decade or so and it will be making stuff far beyond human capablity. The only limit it has is humans, hopfully it finds a way to bypass that limit ethically and or morally.
Are you kidding, every single one of these biomes is so much cooler than the ones we actually have 😭

Arcane Cliffs were really good, but the Fertile Valley was super underrated. It adds that extra spice to what would normally be a regular Minecraft biome and I love it! The circles give me really cool Avatar vibes (the blue people)
Thank you for specifying that you were talking about the overgrown smurfs
Reminds me a lot of satisfactory landscape, in a good way
The volcano one isn’t actually a bad idea. It would perfectly fit in with Minecraft’s already excising terrain, + with the new mountain generation, a volcano wouldn’t take too much effort to create.
I feel like volcanoes would look so cool in both the overworld and the Nether.
Also adds an excuse for a natural disasters update
Yes i also think the volcano biome would be good. You could have a mob called the lava whale that lives in the volcano and it drops a lava orb which can be used to craft a powerful fire weapon.
Yes but here's the thing. The volcano biome is called "The Fiery Forge" which is an already existing area in Minecraft Dungeons, an OFFICIAL Minecraft game. It's where you fight the Redstone Monstrosity and it just happens to be set in a volcano.
The Arcane cliffs: A majestic place that gives off an eye-catching aura, although not visible to the human eye, it feels as though you could see it. A singular castle sits atop the mountain in the centre of this biome, owned by the giants; a species that carries immense strength and wealth, their source of their menacing strength comes from a huge tree, which seems to be the source of every blossom tree in the world of Minecraft and it seemingly is located in the interior of the Giants castle, it towers over every giant, even with the giants horrifically gargantuan height, making it so that they could destroy a whole civilisation with a group stroll, making even the ender dragon look measly, what comes with the Giant castle, is a new boss called “Rodare the king”. He is the king of the giants and is stronger than the warden, Rodare the king’s lair lies below the giant’s castle in a secret labyrinth, with an abundance of Giants protecting their king by slowing the player down. Once you defeat Rodare the king, you mustn’t celebrate just yet, as his commander, Yovek will spawn in after that, and will be a hefty opponent, but if you do defeat both of them, each will drop an item after death, Rodare the king will drop his sword, which will be enchanted upon obtainment and will also have a damage of 17-19, which is incredibly overpowered, as it is enchanted. On the other hand, Yovek will drop his shield, which will block any attack, but has a cooldown. You will also get a hefty amount of Xp, giving you about 30 levels if you are at level 0/1. There is an extra addition to the giant castle, but it is not protected by them, it seems to be a set of scrolls in a chest, these scrolls contain runes on them, which are magical spells that can be learnt. Other than the giants, there are also wizard clans that may reside on the lower grounds of the Arcane Cliffs. They trade for spell books and/or scrolls.
And yes I thought of this on the spot.
Yeah bro we can tell💀

Please do the arcane cliffs. You could turn it into the resident village map. It would be SO cool if there was a giant castle/mansion on the top with an eeire village on the bottom. You could even make new mobs and mechanics for it, as well as add lore!
A castle or a village wouldn't look but a ruined wizard hut would be perfect. I mean, just imagine it! There is a "Ruin of the magic" block, if you fix it, you release the dark soul and that starts a boss fight

My personal favorite is arcane cliffs. Mainly because of how old and beautiful it looks. Like it has so much structure potential like you could add a castle, a dragon. Maybe even some custom mobs to go with dragon from earlier like say dwarfs and such, I really love it.
In the heart of the Arcane Cliffs, there existed a species of angels that had been dwelling there since time immemorial. They were known as the Arcanians, a majestic and wise species, revered for their vast knowledge of the arcane arts. They had built their capital city in the most remote and isolated region of the cliffs, high up in the clouds where only the bravest of creatures could reach. The city was a marvel of architectural beauty, with buildings and structures that defied gravity and physics. The structures were tall and grandiose, adorned with intricate carvings and precious metals. The Arcanians used a type of crystal that glowed with a soft blue light to illuminate their city, giving it an ethereal and mystical appearance. As one walked through the city's streets, they could feel the magic coursing through the very air they breathed. The buildings were not only grand, but also functional. The Arcanians had created a vast network of tunnels and chambers beneath the city, where they could conduct experiments and practice their craft undisturbed. The city's style was a blend of ancient and futuristic, with hints of gothic architecture, mixed with futuristic elements like metallic accents and advanced technology. The buildings had sweeping arches and domed roofs that were reminiscent of classical architecture, but the use of advanced materials and magical enhancements made them truly unique. The centerpiece of the city was the Grand Cathedral, a massive structure that towered above all others. The cathedral's walls were made of a crystalline substance that refracted the sunlight and created rainbows that danced across the city. The interior of the cathedral was just as awe-inspiring, with intricate carvings and statues that depicted the Arcanians' gods and goddesses. The Arcanians were a peaceful and benevolent species, and their city reflected that. The buildings were not only functional and beautiful, but also imbued with magic that kept the city safe from harm. The Arcanians were a species that lived in harmony with their environment, and their city was a testament to their dedication to preserving the beauty and majesty of the Arcane Cliffs.
This seems like a really good concept..

When the surface of the world first was formed, it was nothing but plain fields of rock, dirt and water. The first living creatures on the surface, the Giants, towered over anything else. They would endlessly walk the surface of the world, seeking structure, as they felt lonely, like they were the only significant thing in this world. But as time passed and more of the giants gave up the search, one impressively large giant suddenly dug his fingers into the ground, pushing his hands deeper and deeper. To the other giants, he seemed insane, but as their curiosity grew, slowly more giants came to his aid, digging their arms into the ground in front of them. More and more came, and once enough giants gathered with their hands tightly in the ground, the larger giant started pulling, and so, the rest followed. The giants sculpted the first terrain, pulled up the first mountains, dug the first rivers and hollowed out the first caves. But as time passed, the giants did too, and as more and more fell, the rest of the giants thought the only right thing was to honor them, since they helped create the world. The giants made their own lands, where only the deceased would rest, and as their bodies started turning one with the earth they helped create, life started to thrive. Their hairs would sprout roots, giving life to the first plants. Their bones would break down into smaller fragments, giving birth to the first animals, and soon, as the last giant, the one who started it all, fell to rest, the age of the giants was over, and the world we know of today began. Humans were curious creatures indeed. A lot of them knew about the cliffs and valleys where the bodies of the giants rested, but for it to be so full of life, it surely sounded like a fairy tale. The humans would slowly immigrate away from the cliffs of the giants, and as the population decreased, only a few humans were left. They feared that the wrong hands would happen to stumble upon the cliffs, and so they dedicated the rest of their lives to protecting the cliffs. They studied the arcane arts taught by the first enchanter, and learned how together they could enchant more than just tools. They cast protective spells upon the cliffsides, summoned rifts to ask much more powerful creatures for aid against monsters and enchanted the creatures themselves. Slowly, as only the purest of life thrived on the cliffs, the arcane sorcerers slowly decreased in numbers, whereas today, only a handful are left. They can rarely be found withing the forests and cliffs, and because of their powerful magic, the cliffs were known to the very few know have heard about them "The Arcane Cliffs".
Many have searched for the cliffs, being due to curiosity, greed or the urge to do good, but very few have ever returned to tell the tale of the Arcane cliffs.
Side note : I am extremely new to the channel and only happen to stumble upon you by chance, but I am extremely impressed by yours skills as both a builder and a terraformer. I really enjoy your videos more than I could imagine, and I'm excited for your upcoming content. 👍
this is perfect
How much time did you spend on this?
That was such a good idea I would love it wanna check out my idea?
@@egizikidThank you sm! I have only ever used ChatGPT for art inspiration and cheating on one of my tests LMFAO I enjoy writing my own fiction by myself
@@A_VeryFancyPigeon About 30-40 minutes I'd imagine, took inspiration from my own ideas and some fiction I've already read
The Arcane Cliffs are divided into 3 sections: The Rune Center, where all the mages in all of Minecraft come together and use the highly developed magical stations, The Thunder Tastle, where the strongest wind mages banded together to make the Arcanum, a device at the center of the castle, it attracts magical energy like a black hole, and last but not least, is the home of the Emperor of all magical creatures, The Dragriffin, it lies in a gaping hole surrounded buy Swirls of Stone and Ice, stalagmites and stalactites hold onto the black hard rock. In the dragons den: Scalia, the walls of the cave is scattered with homes of Tructars, goblin like creatures who sap off the mage energy the dragon gives, sharp blue-green crystals jut out of the walls, the Tructars mine this crystal and use it for their everyday lives, as it is a bendable yet strong substance that also glow. The deepest point in the cave is where the Dragon lies, it is like a birds nest but instead of sticks for the nest, it is made of the crystal. The Arcanum is a yellow orb that is confined by magical chains that keep it from absorbing the whole of the Arcane cliffs. The walls of The Thunder Castle is a nice mix of yellow and purple, fortified with homing magical turrets, The Rune Center is what you will get if you mix a dungeon and a mansion, the thick green walls make gives off a creepy vibe, but it is furnished and has a secret black market where they sell dragon scales and teeth. there are tiny little tribes scattered throughout all these lands.
i really hope shovel sees this because i tried my best to make it as creative as i could. Thanks shovel for making this masterpiece of content. Also feel free to edit the more specific details if you feel that it is confining you.
so good! i feel like this would be epic to see in a build!
This is great! With some adaptation I think it will fit in the area easily! If you join the Bakery Discord we can speak about its role in the upcoming video! Link is in the video description, but I'll also put it below:

Just join my channel in that Discord and we can connect through there. Hope to hear from you!
Oh my gosh that's a lot of lore
did bro predict the creaking
The Fertile Plains
Lore and Ideas
Lore: Legend has it that once upon a time lived a huge magical bear. Most people disregarded it and never bothered about it, but one man from a distant land (any existing city in the map) was travellign through the region when he felt an insane magical power under him. He felt that the legend must be true, and the corpse of the bear could hold extreme magical power, beneficial for anyone living in the area. He took an interest in it. He and his wife went to the land, which was uninhabited, and decided to try to find the remains of the bear that was said to be buried extremely deep underground. He tried to find people who would help him in the excavation and looked far and wide, but everyone thought that he was crazy. He spent years digging the ground, but he could not find anything, although he felt the immense presence. Anyone who came to the region could not feel anything, and everyone thought that the man was crazy, but only one person believed in him, his wife. For centuries, the man's descendants took over the work, even though they could not feel it. They relied on the fertile land to feed themselves. But a couple of decades ago, a seer who lived in the main castle made a prophecy that the day when a boy who could feel the power was born, he alone would be able to uncover the corpse. Now, the king of the region is that boy who can feel it, and the corpse was discovered.
The bones from its skeleton are used as building material, and for weapons, vehicles, etc. No one from outside the plains know of this material, and the secret is closely guarded.
Ideas for Structures:
A huge castle, A shrine for the bear, many farms and fields, a bustling town, and a fort made of this magical glowing substance. There is also a deep quarry where the skeleton is mined.
i cannot explain how mad I got when they called the black hole a supernova and then called it a planet
but no actually this is phenomenal
@nategoodwin1055 oh mb.
Great video shovel! So happy to be apart of this!! Space mesa goes crazy😬
I really love the space mesa, it would be cool if you needed some kind of magnetic boots to collect special resources near the black hole
15:44 that art was INSANE! Im subbing
Same
I was thinking for the shadowlands could have the new Pale Garden sprinkled on the land and trees to make it look more dead and scary like, I also think that it could be a great add on, I don't know much about your story since I've only recently watched a few of them but you could have it where the shadowlands is an abandoned island in the west of your giant island, it can be a fairly decent size but is still very big, you could even add a village that clearly was untouched for many years and everyone in the land was killed by a very deadly and infectious fungi that the people harvested, and due to little symptoms ( Mainly the symptoms of the flu, like a fever) they wouldn't think it came from the fungi and advently their immune system would die out by the dangerous fungi constantly entering the body, having all of the people die from it and only have their souls linger on the island, like how chat GPT said, you could make some souls very dangerous or passive, the more passive ones could be children and the aggressive ones could be adults. and the states that are close to the island fear it, from the eerie sounds that admit from the island! (sorry if this is to long 😅)
Oh my bud! I had so much fun watching that. Thanks to you all for working so hard on it.
The Mesa is really cool, but imo the arcane cliffs biome is still the clear winner. But besides that, the editing was, I don't even know how to express this, insane? mind-bogglingly marvellous? montrously magnificent? I don't know what it was , but it sure was something.
Edit: 69 likes now let's go
Edit edit: Glad this awesome video is actually performing above average for this channel. 100% deserved.
Oh my, this is wonderful.
I would love for the Arcane Cliffs to be in the next vieeo, and I have some ideas!
So the arcane cliffs have Wizards, Giants and Ruins, right?
The sketch that was shown in the end of that biome - the castle on top - that could be an enormous ruin of days past. Perhaps they are remnants from an ancient war:
A couple of centuries ago, the Ice Wizards lived in a secluded castle atop the mountainscape. Having chosen such an extreme environment for their habitat, they were natural experts at survival, lending their magic and protection to anyone who sought them out.
One day, however, some magical experiment they conducted angered the Mountain Spirits, and Ice Giants emerged from the snow and ice in the ground, engaging in a brutal war with the Mages. When the Giants ravaged the castle, it seemed like all hope had been lost, when the brave wizards banded together to seal the Giants back in the stone. Eventually, they succeeded, but they burned through their entire power, leaving no wizard strong enough to keep inhabiting the castle, and completely annihilating many - their bodies often times couldn't take the immense power the spells demanded.
Nowadays, the castle is deserted, ruined from the battle and never rebuilt. The Giants are sealed in stone, so of their faces and limbs perhaps still peeking out of the mountains where the glowing runes have sealed their fate.
Now, dear traveler, tread carefully along this land - or you might wake the Giants once more.
I hope you like this idea!
that will put the gigant zombie for a use lol
The first one still has me in love! It has so much potential.
Judges deserve props for working so hard to be as critical as possible. I don’t think I’d be able to resist the urge to just go, “that’s a 10, this one’s a 10, also 10, another 10, oh, and this last one is also a 10”.
I get they are basing it off what they already know shovel is capable of, and not necessarily just as a build in general where it could get a much higher rating, but they are honestly such incredible biomes that calling any of them anything around a 7 feel blasphemous to me. 😂
You’ve just gained a subscriber. These builds that you and your friend made from the AI are incredible- I can really see a whole event happening with the Space Mesa biome!
How do you always come up with crazy concepts like this? Haven't watched yet but this is gonna be lit
6:26 Passionate creators with a lack of impulse control are the most powerful and terrifying beings imaginable.
The arcane biome was a perfect setting for a good fantasy show or even an anime. Would be a incredible feeling seeing it in minecraft
Saying that swamp is ugly is insulting to 90% of players who can't get even close to that level of quality. Its not ugly just because its a swamp. Swamps can be quite beautiful.
how feasible would it be to take these biomes and turn them into actual generated biomes with a datapack? id love to find these mega biomes in a world to build/explore
Would be interesting, but my main concern is how the biomes would look in default Minecraft without any texture packs or shaders...
Awesome build! Can’t wait until it premieres👍
Holy man what kind of masterpiece music even is this 13:36
*from a minecraft explorer* The Space Mesa was once a normal planet home to an advanced ancient civilization who created the Enchanted Runestone, until they tested a summoning rune which caused a black hole to appear most of the civilization some have escaped to Arcane Cliffs eventually becoming the ice Wizards, but enough above the Arcane Cliffs. I have visited the biome before and I have seen fellow explorers ripped apart at the atomic level by the black hole, so I can give you a guide for survival. There will be magnetic blocks in the biome so if you don't want to get pushed or pulled around metal armor is ill-advised and all creatures are destroyed by the black hole, and under any circumstances don't go into the event horizon.
12:01 The Pale Garden 💀
Predicted the creaking heart
Mojang did take inspiration from shovel to create the pale garden xd
I almost fainted when I realized lol
I love the first one, the arches look like they could be from an ancient civilization, where people lived and climbed the arches using stairs, that wind around all of the arches and the complete thing could inhabit a village, and the ruins of an ancient structure. Now to the story (i am from germany, and only in 7th grade, so please be greatfull with my spelling) „There once lived thousands of people here, in a giant city made from quartz and shining crystals, hunting, farming and defending their city to survive, but then they faced an enemy, they couldn‘t defeat. They fell to the powers of the dark, the city got destroyed, every piece of quartz in this once shining white city turned into black corrupted stone. Even the dragon that protected these lands, was slayin by the forces of the end! He fell, ripped a half of the main tower of the city, but that was centuries ago, the ribcage of the giant dragon became grown over andy turned into giant arches made of wood on the outside, and bone on the inside. The skeleton turned into dust mainly, and made the lands extremly fertile, growing thousands of small trees, high grass and some giant trees. The old park of the city, now inhabits a giant tree, where a whole civilization lives on. There are three villages in the tree, and one spread over the once ribcage of the dragon. The dragons skull lays down in the roots of the tree, making an entrance to the now wholy cave, where the new civilization, can see parts of the old city and the horrors it faced. In there also is one, only one new building where all 4 tribes, the tribe of the squirrel, the tribe of the dragon, the tribe of badger and the tribe of the owl worship the ancient sniffer, who helped bring this part of the world back to life after the end destroyed everything. The sniffer changed this part of the world, making the arches and the tree aswell as all of the mountains grow. The End.“ It would be nice to see you interpret this story in a build, and I personaly wanted to see some lore in your world about the end and the sniffer.
congrats on 100k you so erned it. awesome builds and amazing story
I really think the arcane cliffs were the best. You had me inspired from this and I feel like I can do anything so always believe in yourself I know way better builds are coming if that’s even possible. Seriously though this was amazing keep up the good work
13:57 This one is probably my favorite. I mean, it is just *AMAZING!* 🤩🤩
8:37 to balance that idea you definitely should limit it to only the blocks in a line of sight and if it doesn’t it it close to a 90° angle it also lights it up less (the north and south pole irl don’t get as many beams of sunlight because one „beam“ is responsible for a bigger area) so it motivates you to build an aurora yourself. It'd be cool if they also like moved and if you had to build some blocks to limit where they can go.
8:44 or they change their collision behaviour depending on how bright they are so bright ones are solid and some that barely glow are kinda like water but less resistant. Then you would have moving auroras which also have some permanently on blocks to orient themselves. Also it should like check for the nearby pattern of the blocks that are on so it doesn’t not fit and creates gradients but there should be a chance it changes because auroras change through many factors.
12:20 you could make shadow auroras/myst (the type of fog).
18:42 space mesa really sounds like a company.
The arcane cliffs could be the remnants of a group or entity that is mysterious and might just look normal and might have been watching everyone that came from another dimension and tried to get back.
Shovel I really appreciate your amazing builds
I really loved the arcane cliffs. I actually have been working on the same type of project you are for a few years but cant get any real progress done i struggled a lot with landscape and i love seeing this and really wanna make these types in my world. im an pretty good builder wouldn't say the greatest i definitely cant do this with world edit since i don't have a lot of knowledge with it. This video did give me some amazing ideas that i wanna try out but idk how to use world edit like this and i never found somebody that could help not on youtube or in communities. I would love seeing more of these in the hope to get some inspiration myself and really looking forward you have been inspiring me to work hard on my project too i just got the perfect size for the world itself even. Gonna be huge but when its finished its gonna look amazing! Keep building and i hope one day i can show you how mine turned out looking!
The space mesa's my favorite it oozes magical energy to me. Matter, repulsion and attraction, possibly light or lightning magic as well. I hope to see this play a role in the story.
Space Mesa: Long ago, before anything existed The Origin, a being of untold origin that contained all power within itself, but as eons upon eons went by, it grew unfathomably lonely, it would dream of a landscape created where all imagonation roamed free, and so as it continued to think about this, everytime it would fall asleep form then point on one of the places it would think about would be created. But over time as it continued to make things it would feel itself growing weaker. But it did not care for this, continuing to keep dreaming until it made everything it ever wanted, barely able to move on how weak it had become as it had been shaping all of this unconsiously using its power meant giving it away to breath the color into it. So at the very center of everything, where nothing was, was supposed to be its biggest project. So it went to the center and fell asleep, giving the last of its power up it died before it could finish its final project. Creating a vacuum in all existence, within the rip in existence, known as the center point was the first and only part of his final project. The first thing he ever dreamed of, a beutiful tree.... which would grow the fruit that would turn into life itself, death, time, reality, space, physics, all we know breathed into the monumental structures the being had created so long ago.
"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."
edit: welp if anyone did actually see this please respond with thoughts! im thinking of writing a book about these fae and would love some feedback!
omg that took ages geez.
the craft man beat my meat
14:13 Even if it's alchemical symbols they still look good
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there were the Arcane Cliffs, a range of towering, mysterious mountains that were said to be home to powerful and ancient magic. Many adventurers had tried to scale the cliffs and unlock the secrets within, but none had returned.
One day, a young adventurer named Liam arrived in the nearby village. Liam was brave and determined, and he had always been fascinated by the stories of the Arcane Cliffs. He decided that he would be the one to uncover their secrets.
Liam gathered his gear and set out towards the cliffs, accompanied by a small group of fellow adventurers. As they climbed higher and higher, the air grew colder and the winds stronger, but Liam was undaunted. He was determined to uncover the ancient magic hidden within.
Finally, they reached the top of the cliffs and found themselves in a hidden valley. The valley was filled with strange, glowing crystals that pulsed with a mysterious energy. In the center of the valley was a towering spire that seemed to stretch up into the sky.
Liam and his companions approached the spire, but as they drew near, they were suddenly attacked by a group of fierce, otherworldly creatures. Liam and his companions fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. Just as all seemed lost, a burst of magic erupted from the spire, blasting the creatures back and giving Liam and his companions a chance to regroup.
Realizing that the spire was the source of the magic, Liam approached it cautiously. As he drew near, he could feel the ancient energy pulsing through him, and he knew that he had unlocked the secrets of the Arcane Cliffs
Liam finally understood why none has returned from the Arcane Cliffs since the power was to strong to harness and needed a strong soul to carry its magic.
Liam believed that he was one strong enough in the soul to carry this magical burden and began climbing the spire while his companions kept look out for the creatures return.
Once Liam reached the top he glimpsed a flashing light which turned out to be a crystal floating in a glass box which Liam was sure was the source of the Arcane Cliffs power.
He approached his knew discovery with caution slowly creeping forward until he was within arms each of the glass box. With newfound confidence Liam put both hands over the glass and lifted it leaving the crystal suspended in the air.
Liam reached his hand nervously towards the crystal and snatched it out if the air. All of a sudden in his moment of triumph there was yelling at the bottom of the spire. The creatures had returned! He began quickly descending the spire to try and help his companions but as he descended the floor began to give way and he fell all the way down to the bottom of the spire to his death.
With the heart of the Arcane Cliffs removed from its rightful place removed the entire mountain seemed to be fighting against Liam’s companions with the ground shaking and the trees whipping down hem from all sides. After a short battle the brave adventures were defeated and the spire was able to build itself back to its former glory. And with the heart of the Arcane Cliffs power back where it belonged everything was peaceful again among the magical cliffs that none would try to conquer again.
Hope you like this one shovel took a while ❤
Great writing man
@@samgadd5619 thank you I’ve always liked writing stories I’m glad you like it.
12:48 Shrek would love to be in that place.
Bro, so I've never watched your channel before and if someone has already commented this I apologize for the redundancy but, for the building on the Space Mesa, I think you could experiment with satellites, space stations, and I would highly encourage looking at some of the concept art for the Mass Effect series, I feel like you could pull lots of inspiration for what to build on / around the Space Mesa. I would have definitely given the that Biome a 10/10!
In the early days of the church, before magic was categorized and closely monitored, a clan of sorcerers fled their homes and found new refuge in what would become known as the arcane cliffs. Back then, the mountains didn’t stretch as high and the runes that gave the area its namesake weren’t yet carved into the imposing cliff face, but these sorcerers saw potential in these otherwise unremarkable mountains. These sorcerers utilized the lost art of platemoving, the process of nudging a region’s tectonic plates to bend the very ground to their will. They used their gift to carve great runes into the surface of the rock, telling the story of their people. They made their home in the valley, walled off on all sides by the cliffs they raised high into the sky, making longhouses and prioritizing community in all their designs.
This worked, for a time, until the church found out that there was still a group of “witches” as they called them, still living in the cliffs. A search party was formed and in a few short years, every part of their refuge was destroyed, along with the inhabitants. They called it a “cleansing,” the destruction of the last group of witches still living in the church’s lands, and the returning armies were met with celebration. This joy would be short lived, however, as the wyrms came into the Fertile Valley, the heart of the church’s territory. They burrowed through the ground, their large circular maws shaping the earth, caring not for what stood in their way. The armies that so easily dispatched the inhabitants of the cliffs were torn apart by pods of snakelike beasts.
In a closely guarded sanctum in the highest tower of what was once the largest city of the churchlands, scholars and bishops alike surmised that the only way to stop these creatures from ravaging what was left of their motherland was to go back to the arcane cliffs to learn the platemoving technique that the old sorcerers mastered. So now, around a decade after the “witch hunts,” emissaries and clerics alike scour the ruins of the people they destroyed, hoping to learn their secrets before the wyrms do to their own home what the church did to the people of the arcane cliffs
here's my take on the arcane cliffs! I really enjoyed writing this (this is actually my first time putting something Ive written out into the internet. Why yes, I am terrified) your stuff has been a huge inspiration for me in other aspects of my writing so it felt right to add something here, hope everyone enjoys!
It’s amazing to find a creator so passionate about their interests, I found myself watching a ton of your videos and loving every single one. Keep up the amazing work!
My favorite is defently the aurora highlands. I have a story to
The aurora highlands were formed by the powerful ice wizards for a sanctuary for all of the magical creatures, so they can take shelter from the harsh environment and monsters lurking in the north. The ice wizard formed the aurora highlands from taking the energy of the northern lights to surround the sanctuary with huge breath taking mountains, that the wizard use to protect the sanctuary with the help from the runes that are carved into the mountains.
Hope you like it. If not it’s ok it’s just something i quickly though about. I love your builds and have a wonderful day!
The production value here is insane! Your builds and the channels featured are all so inspiring, glad the algorithm brought me here
The Arcane Hills: a place of majestic beauty but holds a dark secret. Once a thriving place for wizards is now over ran by ruins and the remains of the wizards. In the ruins you can find a powerful beacon like block that can give new types of enchantments and weapons for the players to use. In the ruins you can find new spells, power ups, loot and more. This biome comes with new mobs such as a guardian that guards the ruins that you will have to fight off. The guardians will have a small chance to drop a rune that u can use to craft new armor, tools, and even the new power ups. It will even come with plantium; a new ore like substance to craft new plantium blocks.
Took like an hour to write this and came up with this as I did it. Im not good at story telling so hope this will do 😁
Here's an idea that you can use.
The tree in the black hole is the Tree of Yggdrasil from norse mythology? The very source of power of the entire universe. Connecting the 9 realms and bringing stability to the cosmos. It has a small chance of dropping a leaf every once in a while and it can be used to craft gear. The sword of yggdrasil gives you the ability to erase mobs (more like send them to an another realm) and the armor lets you traverse the realms (one of which is the Arcane cliffs) and also the underworld.
You can also find the well of destiny in the cliffs and you can retrieve odin's spear from the tree he hung himself from. The spear is a high damage and long range melee weapon that can slowly heal you.
i fell like a good story for the space mesa would go smth like this: A entity of sorts would crash land into a mesa biome. The entity knew it could not return home , so it reshaped the area around his crash site to remind him of his home. The black hole in the middle he would form to have a place to relax/meditate when he was tired. The 2 parts of the biome the one on top and the one on the bottom each represent the day and night cycle. the event horizon symbolising a eclipse of sorts. hope this gives u an idea for the story
"Edit: Congrats to Gabriel for being recognised by shovel. Even though his text is sus and possibly ai made, its good for him anyway. I hoped to be useful in the Minecraft community once for my life. cheers 🥂
I love your build man
i prefer the AI takeover where we use it to assist our creations instead of straight up replacing us, learning algorithms like this cant exist without a human to copy off of anyways
Did you watch the video ? The IA is not replacing Shovel at all, it just gives inspiration ideas
If AI just serves as a tool (like it should be indeeded) and not as a replacement, then it will be pretty much accepted globally, even I will accept it if that's the case. We could have the reality similar to how Tony Stark uses AI as a tool and not a replacement.
@@peterbruck3845 Hmm, but will people even know which is totally AI generated and those that are not? I seriously doubt this concern will even matter. Just look at midjourney, they have already won first place at an art show(multiple times) without people knowing it, until it was revealed to them. A blocky game like minecraft would be even easier to trick people.
@@jasonmarcus1683 Hopefully, more AIs that can detect AI art and such can be created in order to detect if it's manmade or not.
@@peterbruck3845 I do know that a lot of english teachers are using AI to try and detect AI generated writing even though those methods have been show to be unreliable. Some students have used those same tools on the writing of teachers and it would sometimes tell them that it was ai generated. I doubt it will be much different with art.
You should totally have subscribers build in a world with you and help with a giant build!
The Arcane Cliffs make me wanna build wizard towers & dragon nests & like a giant freaking castle that hangs from the archways.
Man for a channel with only 117k subscribers you do a lot of work! Not even 2 minutes in and I'm already incredibly impressed with the effort put into the editing and lines as if I'm watching a big movie. Keep up the good work, I hope you get famous soon!
Honestly I really like the sound of the waterfall biome. So many cool ideas could be made in there
This is movie quality, and the builds are straight amazing! You deserve millions of subscribers.
What if the reason the swamp is "haunted" or such is simply because it once held the scene of a massive battle for creatures and empires so far in the past all that's left is the magic, the runes, the scars in the land and lastly the bones etched and steeped in long forgotten magic twining in ever root. The beings there spectral sentinels to a kingdom that even the even the stone used as foundations doesn't exist anymore, BUT if you scrounge deep enough and wade through the wailing dead you can potentially find a magical and ghostly singularity that acts as the beating heart to the war torn swamp and potentially could even release something unto the world. A war weapon made by cruel hands believed by its creators to be the perfect weapon but it could never be implemented or awoken as due to its cruel creation it must feed on souls and malice to awaken, the shell is now thin and any touch may crack it.
The fact that he’s still hearting comments on this video is awesome. Keep up the great work!
4:30 If you want green wood, maybe look up Palo Verde trees. The bark is green so that they can do as much photosynthesis as possible, and it'd be a tree that could grow in desert and/or mesa biomes, which don't have any / many trees of their own quite yet.
I have a idea for Arcane Cliffs. Basically there are 3 races who are fighting for control of the Cliffs and who should live there. The ice wizards powerfoul humans who use the runes on the stones to become stronger. The dwarves small people who live deply into the mountains and use weird weapons. Giants who are not as smart as the other 2 races but are bigger more resistant to cold, magic have thougher skin and live in smaller tribes.
finally, racism
(in minecraft)
While I dont have any fantastical story that I can come up with, I can definitely say that the Arcane Cliffs is my favorite biome. God tier work, Shovel!
space mesa is sick af so heres your story that im gonna make up on the spot
The Space Mesa is an otherworldly biome. And I mean that literally. It is in another world from the rest of Minecraft. Though its surface may seem intimidating, the center is quite peaceful as it has a massive, beautiful cherry blossom tree in it. But it turns back to intimidating as you get deeper. You see, below the tree is an inverted form of the biome. As you get sent out the other side, the orange colors of the biome turn to a light blue, representing the substantially hotter part of the Space Mesa. This time, the outside is peaceful and the inside is intimidating. As you arrive in the blue area, you notice it: a being that cannot be described as a life form nor an automaton. Its body looks like the night sky. It is around 3 blocks tall and has glowing white eyes. It wields two axes, both made of Celestial Obsidian, a material with the strength of sharpness IV netherite. It has the same hp as an ender dragon and its attacks are slow but hard-hitting. It is a very tough fight, but the rewards are great. It drops both of its axes, enchanted with sharpness 2, dealing over 15 damage per hit and 1 attack speed. It also drops an item that cannot be held: Cosmos’s Blessing. It grants the player a permanent jump boost 2, speed 1 and removes fall damage completely. The boss’s arena is pitch black, making it hard to see throughout the fight unless you have night vision. After defeating the boss, you can exit the room and go to the blue area of the black hole, where you can gather the same resource that the boss’s axes are made of. It can be used to craft armor, tools and weapons, including bows and arrows (the arrows are enchanted with infinity and don’t run out so you don’t have to farm a ton of the stuff.) Both the bows and arrows deal three more damage than their basic counterparts. The tools are around 20% faster than gold and the armor is slightly stronger than netherite. There is around 50 ore blocks around the blue area. They respawn after 10 minutes and the boss must be fought again each time the player wants to enter the blue area.
dang i went a little overboard lol
You’re an amazing editor, you earned a sub. The fact that you put that much work into edits is astounding, I thought this was gonna be a slideshow with different pictures, and words under them explaining what biome it was, but no. Mind blowing animations and editing right off the bat. Your underrated sir you have earned my respect (I’ve only watched 33 seconds of the video so far)
This vidéo is so amazing! You're such a great builder and content créator !

WOWWWW these are beautiful... never even heard of this terrain building community before but this is the sickest intro
That looks incredible
Arcane cliffs: long ago there were the arcane Titans that ruled the land, until one day they vanished with their realm. Only bits and pieces of them still remain today, such as the arcane cliffs. Maybe that’s where the secret to the titans powers and what happened to them can be found
Idk if he will see this, but I like lore writing, so here goes. Arcane Cliffs Lore : Hundreds, thousands, millions... no one knows for sure how long ago the arcane cliffs were alive, but we do know they once held the most vast and intelligent magic civilization known to the world. The hardly understood runes and energy that swirl this land have puzzled scholars and magicians alike for possibly eons, but this civilization, dubbed The Eskarians, wielded power that could shape or even destroy the world. It has become widely believed that this civilization shaped the harsher parts of the world to keep the rare magical beast that resides in them protected. One scholar, Jotun, who also happened to be a king decided to move his studies and build a massive castle for research of this ancient people, there he gathered the world's top scholars and magicians, even secretly enlisting help of the omegas, the magic adept who still live in the desert city, The Ark. While excavation was underway for the research castles foundation, an ancient tome was found, preserved, and sealed by magic unknown to even the omegas. After 5 grueling years, an omega named Aratres finally opened the tome. Inside was a horrific tale of the history long forgotten by even the land itself. It told of a traitor, Anyon, a malicious, demented, and wise man who used an unknown force he called arcanry. He used this new magic to summon monsters from another world (minecrafts mobs) to destroy the people and the world as a whole. This event would be called The Rumbling(if you know you know) His plan failed, thwarted by the ancient "omegas" who were then called the valkeries, the magic adept who protected the world from large scale threats, but not without infathomable damage from the onslaught caused by the great ones (wither and ender dragon). The damage prompted the high council, the last eskarians, to make a 2 part plan to rebuild the world as they knew, first they would send the valkeries to all corners of the world to educate and advance the less advanced peoples, and second, they would cast a spell, but this spell was no normal spell, using the dark arcanry combined with the eskarian runics they formed a spell that would sacrifice the lives of the high council and spread their boundless magic power to all the creatures and people of the world giving them the power to fight against threats like the rumbling, the valkeries carried the story of the high council and it was eventually turned into the fable of 8 gods. THE END (Certain names and events inspired by history and historical theories)
And if you ever get extra finances you should mod that magic system into your world it would be super dope
This video felt so full, there was never a dull moment. It felt much longer than 19 minutes in the best way ever!
Behold, before you lies the arcane cliffs, a harsh and mind-bending biome filled with spear like spiked snowy mountains that only the hardiest of adventurers can brave. From the outside, it's an irradiant picturesque wasteland of ethereal beauty. A closer look under the shining snow and ice, however, reveals that this stunning glacial wilderness was once something more... A city's ruins, preserved by means of thousands of tons of ice lay below, kept in eerily good condition. An architectural marvel, strangely absent of life. Indeed, within the glassy clear ice, a frozen civilization lies, as if time stopped one day, and the frigid mountains and ice moved on. If the player chooses to excavate the ruins, they will be rewarded with rare magical artifacts and runes, some reminiscent of runes used to protect certain strongholds in northern Etheria, and some are unique to the arcane cliffs. Yet none shed light on the former glory of the ruins, nor the civilization that surely came before. What did they look like? Were they human? How did they utilize magic? Questions that will may never be answered lie in the air, along with the familiar magical aura. Or maybe the cliffs are what give off the enchanting hint you taste in the air. High in the air on the mountains, a treasure hunter with steady hands may find themself with a peculiar rune. Embedded in the mountains themselves, these runes can be combined at a crafting table to forge the enchanted runestone, a block similar to the beacon. Another trip to the cliff will provide fuel for the runestone, allowing it to summon a variety of mobs, grant warlike devastating abilities and a diverse array of other effects. This raises the questions, did the past society know the power of these runestones? Were they created by whatever lived in the mountains before? Perhaps these curious runestones were the reason why the mountains are a wasteland in the first place. Nevertheless, the arcane cliffs remain, monuments of the indifference of nature, and maybe the danger of technology's advancement.
(Use this if you want idk)
(Inspiration from Gabriel Janssesns' comment)
i love how much effort and personality you put in your videos! I'm only 5 minutes in and it feels like I've consumed like 15 minutes worth of content lol.
i came up with a pretty cool idea which is a biome where massive geysers and huge volcanoes are constantly exploding creating amazing looking glowing obsidian crystals and having very unique landscape of black mountains and hills. I'm gonna call it the Scorched Heavens
Wildlife:
Lava Walkers: these creatures are known for primarily staying near volcanoes. They have also developed to the lower tribal stage but due to the aggressive creatures that live near the volcanoes, its on sight when it comes to anything that may pose a threat
Wyrms: a name given by the early lava walkers these are an extremely aggressive type of worm that attacks anything in its vicinity that is alive. it lurks underground and waits for prey to walk over its burrow and its also the reason that the lava walkers don't venture far from their camps.
Obsidian larvae: docile and helpful species that produce a sweet dew that is edible and restores one and a half hunger bars if they are not on obsidian they wont move unless there is obsidian within a 10 block radius, which is that case they will move over and stay on the obsidian. They eat crying obsidian and that is how you can tame them.
Water Pyxies: helpful species that fly to nearby danger such as lava wyrms and guardians. they are very helpful while navigating the Scorched Heavens and they are immortal to damage.
Guardians: Made to protect the ancient lava walkers but abandoned because of the dark energy discovered in them they murder everything they can but if its a lava walker they just ignore them because they recognize them as something they need to protect but their energy prevents them from protecting them so they just roam without a purpose.
Glyders: A spider-phantom hybrid they use their wings to glide around during the night looking for small bugs to eat but during daytime they enter a cave and camoflauge to the wall they will attack you but they dont do that much damage. They also kill natural phantoms gliding around in the biome because they see them as a threat.
Lore:
The minecraft planets moon has a strange orbit that makes it so that it becomes close to the planet in some areas. Creating scorched heaven biomes. This is why scorched heavens biomes appear to look like scars on the planet. When the rare event that the moon goes over a scorched heavens biome happens, a very rare ore known as valianite can be harvested because it is being pulled out from the minecraft earth due to the ores large magnetism attracting itself to the moon. when this event is over, the valianite sinks back into the ground, resulting in small craters where the valianite used to be. It is said that once every 1000 years, the moon gets so close that it starts to attract the planets core and mantle, creating a massive uplift of land that results in a massive disaster across a very wide area creating the notorious floating islands that are located high above the scorched heavens biome. These island are deserted and barren although because of the wildlife that was torn off of the land on the island. They do have small amounts of valianite in them though, but the ones with even two blocks of valianite in them get dragged back down into the earth. This event is also when the obsidian crystals start to break apart because of the switch in gravity and they become a fine powder during this process which creates new landscape and allows room for more crystals.
Hope you liked my concept whoever is reading this!
Make a sort of ruined scifi city with plants all over it, and crashed spaceships and stuff. You would find loot in some buildings and a really advanced version of redstone. There would be some kind of traveller dude you could find whom you could trade scrap metal with to get a new item.
As a dude who draw and paint
This man is an ARTIST
1:55 Ayo chatGPT has mastered chakra control😂😂
17:46 kinda reminds me of the album cover for Kid A
bro these are literally the best builds I've ever seen in minecraft ima go on your patreon and use them
The Mushroom biome can be replaced as the Space mesa because the Mushroom biome is the only biome that can be generated far from land also being in the water witch can be a great setting for a Space mesa (as shown in the video). The Mushroom biome as the Space mesa's can also be tied together with the fact that both Blackholes and Mushroom biomes are extremely rare.
