I made a tiny MINECRAFT WORLD out of CLAY / Lush Cave / DIY
I keep seeing people turning their minecraft worlds in 3d renders and it's awesome, so I wondered, 'what would it look like if I made a Minecraft world out of clay?'

The beefy axolotl guardian might be my favorite piece of Minecraft fanart ever
Yea

I actually checked if it was a new mob or something
@@eastofwarden ive seen some youtubers retexture iron golems to be big buff axolotls its great
Absolotl
Very nice 👍👌. I especially liked the next generation high tech cube cutting tool you used 😄
Thanks, it took it all my technical know-how to put that one together. P.S. how's the hand!?
@@NorthoftheBorder recovering slowly. I am wearing an adjustable arm sling and I will keep it for at least 5 weeks. I am exercising my patience 😞
@@NorthoftheBorder was the square tube that you put the square wormie dealies 3d printed?

The moment I got to the R.F.P.W I was like “this is the humor I live for, you gets a sub from me” haha brilliant and the result turned out great!
What's the R.F.P.W?

@@GlitchCityMissingNo Ah alright, I forgot about that.
Kaypea! I love your videos!
Everything is so incredibly uneven and I LOVE that. Granted, I know Minecraft overall is ''perfect'' because it's digital but the unevenness of everything gives this so much more character and life, it doesn't look manufactured and that's awesome.
Amazing! so much detail, love it a lot!
Thank you so much!
But does it love you?
Im subed to you ur builds are just epic
uhhh 🎉
@@stickofbutterfly to wierderdude
The evolution of your film style has been just a frickin delight to watch. Also, very excited about wormy dealy merch in the future!

This is one of the best clay Minecraft caves I've seen, granted I've only seen about four or five, but still. Buff axolotl made me laugh so hard. I just discovered both yellow and pink axolotls in my world and built a little house on the cliff over their lake. I'm pretty new to Minecraft so it's been quite an experience.
They have 3 colors. Pink, yellow and gray 😉
@@AlexandraVioletta What about Blue and Brown?
theres Pink, yellow, brown, light blue/whitish, and the rare dark bluish purple one
I’ve been playing for 10 years
@@AlexandraVioletta 5 Pink, Gold, Wild/Brown, Cyan, Blue
I really like how it turned out, the wonkyness of the build makes it feel like it was taken from somewhere you'd find this
Buff axolotl gave me my daily dose of "things I didn't expect to see, but I'm glad i did"
This build looks so tedious! Every block had to be meticulously placed. Awesome job on another model. Ever think of opening an Etsy? 😂 Edit: buff Axolotl is something I didn't know I needed!!!!
I think as a business model it's hard to compete with an already existing website like Etsy. They've got such a strong market share at this point, and I think the business practise in regards to how their sellers are treated makes it hard to compete with them even to draw sellers away. Not On The High Street makes a good effort, but their prices tend to be geared to people who shun etsy, and I think if any thing that boat has sailed. I think I would need a huge amount of capital to be able to get it off the ground, and I simply lack the technical know-how to even begin coding something like that. Edit: wait, did you mean a place to sell stuff? I just sell it all through email!
@@NorthoftheBorder yeah lol i just mean putting your projects up for sale on Etsy. The quality and craft of each model is so intense personally I'd want to keep then all if I made them.
😂😂
That’s what i say i would buy one so quick
you already knew you *n e e d e d* a buff axolotl guardian. You *N E E D* it.
So refreshing to see a model being made without Epoxy resin being the main binding ingredient. I get so bored seeing people making things where all they do is use that stuff. This is the real talent!
The amount of patience needed to prep the materials for the build! 🤯🤯 also for some reason I was excepting the cuboid wormy dealyz to be brittle after baking but they were satisfyingly slightly bendy. Another great one in the bag! Also Merch! 🥳
I can feel my carpal tunnel worsening just watching this. Dear lord, there's so much fantastic detail, and I'm so jealous of your patience.
When you said “I want that” and image Bobby Dukes Art appeared in my brain
Same
Same!!
Same here 😂
The build was great, and the resin truly was the cherry on top. It just added some really nice variety =)
I know it was probably a mistake but I LOVE the massive bubble by one of the axolotls, it looks like he's blowing bubbles under the water and it's super cute 🥰
Look at that bonus sheep! The true mvp of this one is the piece of wood to chop the cubes, truly. (PD: they should 100% add the axolotl golem)
Hey! Do *you* have a burning question you want answered next week? Then let me know and if I really like it, maybe I'll "randomly" select it!
Ingrown toenails are really painful hope you get it fixed soon 👍
in your professional experience, does the routine self-loathing during builds come from the planning/sketching process, or the actual sculpting/refining process?
How did you get into modeling tiny nerdy things? How did it start? Also if you had to choose just one, what's your favorite model?
I dropped a weight on it, so it's not ingrown so much as compressed inwards, but thanks for the concern!
Awesome videos dude. but no I don't.
I can't even imagine how absolutely insanely long this project took.
I love the guardian and his babies, but I was secretly wishing for a pig. Not that I play this game and understand their purpose, but they're adorable. This was really well done and in super impressed with your ability to glue cubes together to make a bigger, cooler cube.
The “tiny nerdy things” never gets old
It doesn't often happen that I'm early enough to help boost a video in the algorithm but here i am xo
Doing God's work.
This is an *EXTREMELY* underrated channel
you inspired me to get into model making! I'm not good enough to do this kind of level of things, but I've been making some kits and it's frustratingly fun!
“As straight as Elton John drinking a whiskey sour” is just the best thing I’ve heard today 😂😂🤣
Your videos are the perfect backdrop to doing all of the tiny, finicky jewelry making stuff I’m currently trying to power through.
Gimme these blocks! I love such tiny work! 😍
Your ability to work with such micrometric exactitude is amazing.
such a brilliant idea to roll them out like this!!! love this project, now I want that too
sir you are an absolute delight to watch. so funny and clever! i look forward to your videos all week!! as for a question--how'd you get into sculpting in the first place? what initially drew you to it? how long have you been sculpting? did you go to school to learn these techniques or are they all things you picked up over the years? i went overboard with the questions, didn't i? oops...
omg the bobby duke reference at the beginning, I died I've definitely imagined you saying that before. anyway, love your videos man! you've got a great narrating voice, with just enough wormie dealies to keep me interested. Ill go back and forth from watching intently to having you play in the background. the models are always sick too. keep it up! 💜❤️
I've always wanted to make one of these minecraft miniatures and your MDF trick to get even sized cube-logs is GENIUSSS 🔥 THANKYOU!
I adore your videos. Hearing the words "wormy dealies" is the source of so much joy. But, buddy, how did you fail to make enough blocks? Maths was right there for you to use it! You're right about the axolotl, though. Too cute
You never cease to amaze with your ideas. Not only the pixel block is awesome but the film style and the montage makes it even more enjoyable :)
There were other projects before where I thought the amount of effort was commenable or even tedious but this is downright unhinged. Incredible.
i love them i watch them every day
The way the blocks all fit together so messily actually made this looks really really good 😂
this is so cute, I love it! i really need to get back into minecraft- this new update has added in so many things that are right up my alley!
You could have made a allay joke with alley
WHY IS RESIN SO PERFECT I HATE IT YET LOVE IT AND I WANNA USE IT BUT THAT REQUIRES MONEY AND TIME AND CURING AND SKILLS AAAAAGHHH love the build
while the blocks aren't quite uniform, i feel like that helps the impression we are seeing the world from the players perspective
Dude you are so talented, I loved the ✨buff axolotl✨. Keep up the amazing work! 😀
I'd love to see a scene from Lupin the Third with Lupin, Jigen, and Goyemon driving their iconic Fiat 500. you could add Fujiko on her pink moped and zenigata running behind if you wanted as well!
Your VOs are giving me life. Actually laughed out loud every time. Much love
This one is awesome. My 10 year old son really enjoyed watching this creation being made.
It's amazing how freaken funny and talented you are Adam 😂 Your dry humor kills me!
Hmmmmmmmm...claaaaywoooorms *drool*
Getting all the cubes straight and lining up is bonkers. I'd lose my mind. Very, very cool.
Screw satisfier KZhead videos, and screw podcasts. This Channel is all I need. This makes me so happy and relaxed to watch. Please let me commission you
I was watching this with my sister, and she nearly died of cuteness when you were making the axolotls
Police Officer: “Now what do you have there?” “Uh, these are minecraft leave blocks”
Somehow you are capable of creating both the most heinous things yet also some of the best creations Ive seen in a while
The coffee grinder method turned out a great result. I WAS NOT expecting that to turn out anything usable. I have broken kitchen appliances before in a similar manner, except, moss.
My son and I really enjoy watching your videos together. He recently got Minecraft for his sixth birthday, a game that I have intentionally avoided since it's release. So my days have been filled with nothing but Minecraft for the last month, except when we sit down to watch your videos. So, thank you for simultaneously making his day and ruining mine. 😁😂😢😞
It was a team effort
@@NorthoftheBorder we really do enjoy your videos. He is on the high end of the autism spectrum so when he latches onto something that's all he will talk about. You have no idea how happy he was to see his two favorite things come together. And I can't thank you enough for all the quality time I get to spend with my little buddy watching your content.
This reminds me a lot of WUZU clay, the process is almost identical...I wish you'd give them a shoutout!
^^ this
exactly what I thought
Yep
wow that is the best clay sculpting of minecraft I have ever seen the axolotl garden is very cute!
daddy axolotl was the best part. made me laugh out loud when I saw it!
"As straight as Elton John drinking a whiskey sour" had me cackling out loud.
Who the heck already disliked this amazing youtuber
Lol when you put the creeper sneaking up on Steve looking into the deathly ravine that instantly gave me a flashback of how I usually die in Minecraft which is why most of my worlds are now creative
Nice! It must be nice having a slice straight out of Minecraft on your bookshelf! Keen to try this myself
KZhead? More like Cubetube am i right ladies
Your home must be a hoarders nest of finished and half-done projects stacked on top of "interesting" trash needed for future projects. You should absolutely do an MTV Cribs episode :)
u should add a nether portal. U could use some purple UV resin for the purple and maybe add some purple fairy lights for the particle effects. Really cool tho 👍
Вот на что может вдохновить Майнкрафт, Так приятно было наблюдать за созданием этой поделки. Респект автору.
When 1.18 gets fully released, I'm gonna have this as my main base. :) this is a compliment.
This came out great! Your sanity may have taken a hit during this one though, but it was worth it!
My sanity was never very strong to begin with so no great loss
@@NorthoftheBorder L O L
I love how you added the beefy axolotl gaurdian to the build and I also like the NASA cube cutting thing I need it 👍
Never have I ever seen a youtuber with such clay molding skills, you need more subs.
I have. Wuzu clay
He might be a bit simplistic for you to make but a big ol jolly drunk Radish Spirit would be a delight to see some day.
You know you've played too much Minecraft when you're constantly thinking "Bro don't forget to light up the cave or mobs will spawn", and then realize its all made of clay...
Just when I thought there were no more minecraft things I could attempt to make for my son, you just had to show me something like this! :D I have a few months before his birthday ... I'm sure I could.... think about doing this :D
Imagine how many cubes you could make in a few months!
Bro, this makes my life so much calmer. They even add the sounds.
This is a Daniel Day-Lewis level of commitment to root concept. Well done, good sir. Well done.
Man I really enjoyed this, love the process and ways you make your models Love from Montréal at 3am! 🙏🏼
This is the only artwork/sculpture/thirdoption youtuber that I don't skip to the end of the video with
I love your creations and you do it so precise.
Hey Adam when did you find out you like making sculptures and how did you get started? And do you ever sell your sculptures? Loved the video btw I really like the little extra shots!
Can you connect me with your friends at NASA?
NASA? They said they work for NASSUH
I absolutely adore your humor 🤣and your creations 🥰
Creative for the cube making at the start! Love your stuff
Your content is such a delight, I always love seeing you post "stupid KZhead videos". ♥️
I don’t think ‘cube’ registers as a word in my brain anymore because of the sheer amount of times you said it
I tried to mix it up but there aren't a lot of good alternatives. Squared sphere? 3 dimensional Square? Box? Oh, that kjnda works.
I haven't seen the whole video yet (I'll watch it now while I'm having dinner) and it probably doesn't mean that much but I wanna let you know that my "I wanna make that" moment that helped me to start making stuff was watching you and your channel. Thanks for the inspiration and the awesome content, Adam☺️
I can't even do something like this in Minecraft let alone IRL. Insane work :) Been binge watching all your vids
your vids are not stupid
“As straight as Elton John drinking a whiskey sour”. Nice.
This concept is essentially the 'boat in a bottle' crafting thing, exept for insane/insanely creative people that won't follow instructions and would rather make buff axolots. I approve XD.
That cube cutting device is brilliant!!! Gold star for Adam.
I never played Minecraft, but I absolutely adore this! It's super adorable!
I am anew subscriber and I appreciate the effort in you doing these projects as well as the humorous narration,it keeps it interesting.
I am just loving those little mine clay figures love The Buff Axolttl and Steve one A lot
this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen and I desperately want one now
My favorite part outta this whole thing might be the beefy axolotl gaurd But I still like all the hard work you put into it:)
I love this! Especially the fact you used individual blocks for the entire thing!!
yes
god i love ur vids so much!!! i love working with clay and seeing ur process is super inspiring to me. thank you for sharing and keep up the killer work !!!
The amount of detail he puts into his work it amazing
You should totally make torches but put actual leds inside so that your cave could glow using them
I sometimes don't click on your videos because I don't care about the subject of the video (star wars, pokemon, minecraft). Then, I realized that it isn't the subject of what you are building, but that fact that you are building something (anything) and the quality of the video that I enjoy. Yes.
I love watching this guys videos
I dont think id mind if the game looked just like this with claymation motions.
