We learn way more about the fight. We have a ton of notes for next time. I mean, that's what I wanted, you know. The next run, I think, hopefully, we can kill more of the tower explosion things and maybe get some Prague on the Dragon itself. And then the run after that, we maybe kill it, like I'm thinking like two or three more tries. I don't know. It's a whole new world. Oh wow. Golden block, are you kidding me? Portal, right here. Let's go. Golden apple, helmet, sword, flint and steel, definitely solid. Man, this is about so fun about Minecraft. It's like the early game is so fun. I feel like I'm also kind of sweaty too because it's like, at this point, I don't really believe in shovels. I just like, axes and picks, even swords are kind of true. I feel like I really want that golden block, but I need more iron. Honestly, I didn't think you survived that long in the Dragon and you did everything, right? Well, not everything, right? Because I died, but I survived a little longer than I thought, too. I'm happy with my Prague. I have a shield in an axe and a little food, so hopefully we can survive. Okay. Yeah, we just died. To the Endertragon. Those are personally my favorite deaths. Endertragon deaths I can get behind. It's the only kind of death I actually want to have. Okay, I'm not going too deep. I need food, but I would like like one iron. What am I like, one iron? Yeah, what, what, Blizzard, one iron, one! Goodness gracious. Goodness. Okay, guess we're going out of here. I don't want to get too deep. I need food and I would need like a lot of stuff before we're actually going caving. Oh, yeah, it's night time too. I mean, I don't have a bed. Oh, yeah, it's night time too. I mean, I don't have a bed. 18 melons aren't enough? No, melons don't do like anything, man. It's almost safer underground, actually. Oh, man, this is a brutal. It's probably the worst starting zone I've had in a while. At least if I'm near water, I can take a boat and just boat somewhere. Yeah, I might just die. I mean, I could make a little one by one and wait out the night, but... I don't know if I really want to do that. Okay. Oh my gosh, that's a glorious cave. Oh, that's super glorious. Guys, it's 64 watermelon enough to go caving. It actually might be. There's water down there. You guys really want me to gamble my 10 minutes of gameplay on that jump? No way. The thing is we actually could. Oh, man, if it was any bigger. I really want to because it's like about time to get off anyway. It is a really good cave though. I kind of want to actually explore this.
