This video was just me going "wait where do you get wood... ohhhhh, wait where do you get stone... ooohhhhhHHHH, wait where do you get water... OOOOHHHHHHHH" Almost like playing trick puzzle games via the shimmer, great map and vid
Adding shimmer to a "normal" stoneblock expands options in a wonderful way. Starting with ONLY shimmer makes the entire world into a riddle... and I kind of love it.
Thanks! I think a few people came up with the idea independently. I was thinking of doing a skyblock before 1.4.4, so when shimmer got added it just made sense to see what was possible with it
@@ChiefLogan_ honestly I just started my experience and I don't have patience so I went in and changed the world to Journey, it's still an interesting challenge.
Here's a fun bit of trivia... the new literal minimum required on a map to beat Terraria using this painful medumcore method only requires a single solid block, and only for placing other blocks against. The list is: a 3 column of shimmer held by 6 bubble blocks (they only block liquids from passing through) and and 1 lihzahrd temple brick as the top left or right block, 1 edited in or glitch-placed lihzahrd altar, and 1 placed forbidden lihzihrd brick wall about 64 blocks away. if the map has either Zenith or just Remix and FTW secret seeds enabled, then the temple brick can be swapped out for any other solid block. While not the physical minimum, this skyblock follows the spiritual minimum, since the shimmer pool size isn't important, and is contained with "useless" obsidian.
Interesting! The island size is quite abritrary, I just chose this one because it looked nice. If I was making a bare minimum style map then I may go the more "bare minimum" approach and use bubble blocks and only 3 shimmer sources, but since this is for YT I put more emphasis on aesthetics
I still shudder at the idea of playing skyblock on mediumcore. I hope you have a line of blocks across the world to catch all your innards. I'm surprised you stuck with staves and the starfury for so long. I'm always bouncing around to different weapons: the merchant's sickle, grenades, yo-yos, bows with jester arrows, and the demon's scythe. Note to viewers: This map can't be played on Classic, no lava from slimes means no liquids. Much of the obscure Terraria mechanics like the antlions are actually in the wiki, just hidden behind the "Discussion" or "Talk" tab. Other info you can only really find by testing, or torturing yourself by hopping around the source code with Ctrl+F.
You get used to it after a while, it's mostly an issue for the first few hours of gameplay. Once you get access to fishing you'll have strong enough weapons and accessories to avoid death a lot more often. It's still pretty painful when it happens, but at least it doesn't happen often. I tried a few other weapons but they were all less powerful so got cut out from the video, I had a demons scythe but it had a terrible reforge so didn't see much use. I'm glad you're here to dig into the source code so I don't have to lol, hopefully the wiki keeps getting improved for years to come as more information becomes available.
I like your voice a lot, it is incredibly soothing. You aren't annoying with how you explain things, and go into a good depth for even noobies like me to understand.
Definitely one of the most creative twists on the terraria sky block maps. Good balance of difficulty, progression and creativity. Glad to see it become a real thing. Google luck on your playthrough.
Thank you! Originally the map was going to be closer to terra block, with a single mushroom grass and one block of shimmer, before I realised duping shimmer is very inconsistent and practically impossible. Unfortunately it took around 13 hours of playing the original map to find that out lol
Man this makes me nostalgic for my own sky block play through- even though it’s only been about two years lol. Sky blocks was super fun and I would recommend it to nobody. Really interesting to see which things you did that were the same as my play through and which things were different!
This challenge is awesome! The ability to get the angler makes this soooo much better than other classic skyblocks. Thought i am curious on how you'll get a artificial jungle for the plantera fight. Anyways, keep up the great work!
1:03 that's me! But ye I gave up and going back to classic cuz dam is it pain(I died over 50-100times for me to give up) and you bet I had to go get my stuff in each of them+the times where I didn't and my stuff just gone
I think one of the worst things about mediumcore is not being able to leave the world without your items being deleted, I hope Relogic do something about that for 1.4.5
@ChiefLogan I had my main world as medium core+expert, I once died after a trip and the power went out after I died, all of my most important stuff got deleted and I couldn't replace them and just had to abandon world&character, I will start expert but with classic character
That sounds very painful, I’m hoping at some point we can have tombstones that store items when mediumcore characters die, kinda like there is in a lot of minecraft mods
I absolutely love this video. Not only is it made by a small creator, and thus underrated (◕‿↼*) but it also uses calamity music, is in terraria, is a hard challenge, is skyblock, uses shimmer, and is in mediumcore (fav gamemode) but it also has great editing. I havent seen anyone else say this, but the dirt bombs near the start synced up with the astral infection music. Just the small touches that make this video all the better! I’m writing this when I’m only just past the aforementioned dirt bit, so I’m sure to edit this later and add in all the extra little *flourishes* throughout the video. Thank you for this!
As someone who got into skyblock maps recently this is great I personally find skyblock maps to be super addicting cause instead of progressing by game standards Skyblock's early forms of progression are making the world itself into a feasibly beatable state by gathering what little resources you have and working with them It also makes me feel smart for knowing game mechanics🤓🤓🤓 Also hearing you say "We're at 30 hours of gameplay and only 1 boss has been defeated" really hit home The true skyblock experience
Fun fact: This map is also completely possible in Journey Mode. You can research your starting Iron Tools, then throw those into the Shimmer until you have enough blocks. As this is (to my knowledge) the only point at which Mediumcore is required, this allows you to play the whole map without issue in Journey Mode. Just make sure you don't throw your tools into the Shimmer without researching them...
Hope you keep doing this series. I always love skyblocks, but this is even cooler since it only utilizes vanilla methods to progress instead of using mods to add recipes
I’ve still been playing the map for the last couple months, it’s just taken a long time to get enough footage for a part 2, and it’s now taking a long time to write a script and edit it. I’m hoping to get a lot of it done this weekend, as I don’t have much time to work on these videos through the week
Great Video! Just watched your Zenith run and I have to say that I love your content! Keep up the great work! I wonder, how much easier Zenith run would be now, especially pre-hardmode with new Blade of Grass and hardmode with true melee changes and other buffs. Also thanks to this video I now understand how strong, well used, shimmer can be. Can't wait for Part 2!
Thank you! I think the zenith run would be a lot easier now. Before 1.4.4, starfury was the best option from pre-boss all the way to the mechs, but now there’s plenty other options during that phase that deal just as much if not more damage
tried a skyblock a while ago, sadly lost the world data, but I remember the feelings of progressing well. good luck on the run and I look forward to subsequent videos!
yo honestly i love this concept so much, like the concept of having this much of a resource struggle is sick and all the solutions to the puzzles feel nearly intentional personally decided to switch over to classic though once i got the merchant since mediumcore is just simply not fun
very much hoping you are still going to do a part 2, this is sick! love how it just works, bare minimum, just the essentials of the temple and shimmer, very cool!
I am! I have enough gameplay recorded and most of the script written, it’s just a matter of recording the voiceover and editing it together, which unfortunately is about as time consuming as the playthrough itself lol
@@ChiefLogan_ I can imagine, I was playing a more regular skyblock pre-shimmer being added and that took forever to get to the point where I could actually just get bombs... the grind is real! Can't wait to see more but also take your time man, can't rush perfection
I really wish I had thought of that when playing, ended up going to slime route and was very unlucky, still was a fun enough time though. Definitely going to try this version out, seems a lot more enjoyable
I like how in both Minecraft and Terraria, the worst NPC in the game becomes the most Useful in a world of nothing. In Minecraft, it's the Wandering Trader for its abundant loot pool of Trades. In Terraria, it's the Angler for the potions he gives as a reward and crates from fishing in different biomes for their loot.
@@ChiefLogan_ It was Firstly, shimmer your axe. turn the wood into platforms, place the copper ore at the edge of the shimmer platform. (you could also shimmer the copper shortsword but only do it as an emergency) use the platforms to go up, put one above another and break the one below and repeat until the shimmer is off screen. try to get a slime to spawn and somehow manage to attack it before it touches the shimmer. kill the slime and get gel. During night repeat but with zombies and or skeletons (due to shimmer). Zombies and skeletons are useful for getting torches and weapons, might get an ancient helmet if lucky. Repeat until enough swiftness potions are collected to make a workbench and then repeat swiftness potions gathering till you can get 2 houses. Thus you can complete the run from there
I decided to give this a go, and I'm happy to say that it only took 33 hours (8 of which was afk) for me to kill the Eye of Cthulhu. I love this challenge, even if the early game is a little slow
Just started this today and wondered if it could even be possible without mediumcore; turns out, it can - that is if tombstones can be shimmered in vanilla that is. If anyone is interested: Spawn in classic, throw axe (Not pickaxe) into shimmer, use the 1 wood to make 2 platforms, go up about 24 blocks (Alternating platforms and mining one underneath the top one you placed), jump directly onto centre of three block surface of the shimmer pool edge, get tombstone and then place whatever you got. Wood like tombstones give wood, stone likes give stone and obelisks give obsidian. Again, not sure if tombstones are shimemrable vanilla, I admit Im playing a heavy modded pack but if it does; there you go.
@@ChiefLogan_ Figured it might have been yeah, but convinent for people wanting to play without mediumcore penalties. Quite grindy in its own right too, but does ease the loop a bit quicker than the normal way. What mod does it though I couldnt give you the answer for.
If the shimmer was a real thing, and if I found it, I wouldn't tell anyone, I just find a way to turn something into money. And once that's done, boom. Quadtrillionaire in seconds.
The Bazaar Bargain is a community-created primary weapon for the Sniper. It is an ornately-carved rifle with a curved stock. A small lens is used as a makeshift scope, and a laser sight is attached underneath the barrel. Compared to the default Sniper Rifle, this weapon has a 50% slower charge rate. However, it also features a "Heads" counter; for each successful headshot, 1 head is added to the counter, increasing the weapon's charge rate by 25%. This bonus caps out at 6 heads, at which point the weapon has a 100% faster charge rate than the default Sniper Rifle. Upon death, all heads are lost and the weapon's charge rate is subsequently reset to its base speed. If the player kills an enemy Demoman wielding the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, or Nessie's Nine Iron, a Soldier wielding the Air Strike, a Sniper wielding the Bazaar Bargain, or a Medic wielding the Vita-Saw, the player receives an additional amount of heads relative to the stored heads/kills/organs of the enemy player's weapon. This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.
maybe try integrating the mini-temple into the pool itself for a more elegant map design- for example, the obsidian can be replaced with temple brick, and the monolith inside the pool can be replaced with the lihzard altar.
Part 2 should be out soon, with part 3 hopefully taking a lot less time than part 2. As for making them longer, I aim to cut out most of the boring/repetitive parts, and keep only the exciting stuff. There’s not enough going on in most of these videos to warrant 20-30 mins
I made the world myself, I plan on releasing it once I’ve completed the map as I want to check it’s definitely doable. I’m also wanting to make a release trailer so having footage from every part of progression will be good
How do you beat skeletron and where does the lunatic cultists spawn? I want to stream this on Twitch because I play terraria weekly, and it looks amazing! I just want to make sure I can beat most bosses if possible
I played a different version of the Shimmer Skyblock challenge and you missed a BIG QoL step at the beginning. As soon you have the Merchant you basically have unlimeted building materials. If you shimmer an anvil you get the iron back etc. so you can have Everything based on iron. And of course due to the shimmer you could just downgrade iron to lower materials, even down to dirt.

I think it’s the only reason it’s still relevant today, so many different ways you can play it
@@ChiefLogan_ I'm playing right now and I can't figure out how you're getting sand
pls help
You need to uncraft the potions from slimes and fishing into glass and then into sand. Make sure you use the correct quantities at each step though
@@ChiefLogan_ I thought I had to only throw one bottle. it worked after I threw 2 empty bottles in. thanks for the help :D
@@ChiefLogan_ also Idk if you mentioned this but dynasty wood can be shimmered into normal wood. and I now have around 6k wood :D
Good video, I've never thought of doing shimmer skyblock. It's a really good idea, to whoever came up with it; I hope you always have cold pillows.

I mean, you probably can play this on journey mode, adjusting the difficulty as needed/wanted and ignoring the research tab
best video because you synced dirt to music
You definitely could, that’s less challenging though ;)
I started play on Medcore after I realized the game was too easy with no death penalty.
Antlions in terraria normally: Die because you’re in my way. Antlions in skyblock: The best thing in the world
Take your time with part 2, this was really fun to watch ^v^

As someone who got into skyblock maps recently this is great
I personally find skyblock maps to be super addicting cause instead of progressing by game standards

However, it also features a "Heads" counter; for each successful headshot, 1 head is added to the counter, increasing the weapon's charge rate by 25%. This bonus caps out at 6 heads, at which point the weapon has a 100% faster charge rate than the default Sniper Rifle. Upon death, all heads are lost and the weapon's charge rate is subsequently reset to its base speed.
If the player kills an enemy Demoman wielding the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, or Nessie's Nine Iron, a Soldier wielding the Air Strike, a Sniper wielding the Bazaar Bargain, or a Medic wielding the Vita-Saw, the player receives an additional amount of heads relative to the stored heads/kills/organs of the enemy player's weapon.
This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.
Very creative idea!
here's a glitch i use to get iron for mech boss spawns: buy anvils from the merchant and throw them into shimmer
"with the next issue to TACKLE being BAIT" 6:08 (did anyone else notice that?)
Omg I was waiting for someone to notice that lmao
maybe try integrating the mini-temple into the pool itself for a more elegant map design-
for example, the obsidian can be replaced with temple brick, and the monolith inside the pool can be replaced with the lihzard altar.
The temple is where it is to indicate where the old man will spawn, to avoid players having to use coordinates for it
@@ChiefLogan_ just make him spawn in the pool LOL
This is very big brain
7:14 a star fell and he didnt even notice
I’ve met some dumber
I was a little irked when you used the tinkerer to reforge craftable accessories when you can just use shimmer.
Tbh it was mostly just to save time, I did end up using it for certain items later on when reforging was more expensive
Get it... Tackle, like fishing tackle funny
Great vid! leaving comment for the algorithm
Thank you!
CrabBar world be furious with that heart crystal luck
Thankfully they increased the drop rate after CrabBars playthrough
Loved the video just hoping foe a series for it and can u make the videos longer than 20 min to 30 min❤
Part 2 should be out soon, with part 3 hopefully taking a lot less time than part 2. As for making them longer, I aim to cut out most of the boring/repetitive parts, and keep only the exciting stuff. There’s not enough going on in most of these videos to warrant 20-30 mins
what is the link for the seed you used shimmering skies has the get fixed boi seed and i have no idea how to edit worlds
Good video btw
I made the world myself, I plan on releasing it once I’ve completed the map as I want to check it’s definitely doable. I’m also wanting to make a release trailer so having footage from every part of progression will be good
This is really just ProjectE skyblock but in terraria, cool stuff
Would be closer if it was journey mode, as EMC may as well be duping
How do you beat skeletron and where does the lunatic cultists spawn? I want to stream this on Twitch because I play terraria weekly, and it looks amazing! I just want to make sure I can beat most bosses if possible
They both spawn at the lihzard block, so you won’t have to guess or measure blocks
I recently beat terra caelum and I see that in this skyblock is way much content than in terra caelum
I like to watch 2 part
Yeah shimmer really unlocks so much more for skyblocks, it was a great addition
Farming wood and copper via repeated self-termination... how delightfully absurd.
do you know if you need sand for antlions to spawn or if you can use hardened sand?
I believe you can use hardened sand if it has unsafe hardened sand walls behind it
Where did you get the Starfury from? Really entertaining video.
You can get it from sky crates. Thanks!
you can buy anvils from the merchant and uncraft them with the shimmer for 5 iron
I played a different version of the Shimmer Skyblock challenge and you missed a BIG QoL step at the beginning. As soon you have the Merchant you basically have unlimeted building materials. If you shimmer an anvil you get the iron back etc. so you can have Everything based on iron. And of course due to the shimmer you could just downgrade iron to lower materials, even down to dirt.
Neat idea! I’ll keep this noted for if I play again!
Do you have a link to your own map? I would love to try this one specifically
I plan on releasing it on the steam workshop once I’ve completed the map. I want to make sure it’s actually bearable first
Mediumcore is brutal
