Block Hunt: Render Woes and Victory > Source: [Minecraft Monument Block Hunt: Render Woes and Victory](https://youtube.com/watch?v=SuVY6vNzaCE) ## Summary A Minecraft player explores a balloon area in search of a monument block, encountering skeletons and creepers while discussing recent rendering and upload issues with video episodes. ### Key Points - **Search for Monument Block** [00:00] — The player explores a balloon area, finds a clue 'shiny', and discovers the grass monument block in a chest. - **Render and Upload Problems** [01:30] — Videos take 6-10 hours to render and about an hour to upload; Creator Cast limits files to 2-2.5 GB, forcing shorter episodes and quality reduction. - **GUI Scale Adjustment** [04:00] — Player changes GUI scale to make the hotbar larger for easier viewing, though text becomes large. - **Combat with Jump Boost** [05:30] — Jump boost enchantment helps against skeletons by allowing the player to jump at them, preventing knockback. - **Episode Length Decision** [08:00] — Future episodes will be kept around 20 minutes to stay under file size limits, though longer episodes may be uploaded to YouTube separately. - **Exploring the Big Balloon** [12:00] — Player climbs the largest balloon, uses regeneration potion, lights up the area, and finds a chest with a kitchen knife and the grass monument block. - **Next Steps** [14:30] — Player plans to place the monument block at the Victory monument and explore a water area leading to vines. ### Conclusion The player successfully finds the grass monument block and plans to continue building the monument and exploring new areas in future episodes. ## Transcript all right guys we're back um back on two greener pastur pastures I can never say that right but who really cares um what I did was I explored around a little bit and we're still in this balloon area I didn't check every balloon um there was one that I thought was going to have the monument Block in it but surprisingly I found it here at the very side where down below it says shiny the magic clue for this was shiny I want to check it out and already skeletons have been shooting me and calling me bad names and I don't like it so we're going to all right we're going to check it out um getting up to here uh that little area down below creepers fell skeletons fell push me off but I have feather falling three I also have for the following four boots that I picked up with jump boost four protection one that's basically it um got a potato I love potatoes still have everything else from before this is protection four I'm not going to change that out yet and I don't know if this Le leather tunic with Protection One is going to be better than this I doubt it so we're going to keep that on and also we look too cool with it I kind of I don't like the helmet but helmet Protection One we don't have anything better but yeah anyway um I don't know where these skeletons and creepers resp spawning at honestly I don't see any spawners they might be in the walls so I'm just going to light it up all over there's evidence evidence of a skeleton that I killed before I started recording ah but one thing I want to kind of talk about I if you guys have noticed I have recently been um posting episodes daily either of this or of the ice cream warehouse dver now on creators cast you guys haven't seen ice cream Warehouse server and though I will probably talk about it in that video that you guys will see it's tomorrow but you guys will see this in two days but I have had terrible render problems um like unbelievably hard render problems it's bad um I render out a video overnight which isn't bad you know I can render out videos overnight takes about 6 to 10 hours to render a video which which isn't bad I sleep you know I mean get up and it's it I still rendering might not be but um so then I do my thing and then I upload and uploading usually takes about an hour to upload one of these uh longer episodes but the thing is on creators cast um the episodes I mean anything you upload cannot be larger than 2.5 gig I think maybe 2 gig I'm not sure so I have to make these videos shorter um the last two greener pastures and ice cream Warehouse were ice cream Warehouse was like 35 minutes long something stupid like that um greener pastures was about 27 minutes long I believe I might be wrong but both of them would not upload so I have to I had to get a rendering program to kind of condense the prog or the video files down which lowers the quality and I don't want to lower the quality I like the quality of the videos I think it's pretty high definition it's 720p it's it's not bad quality I don't think um let me change this really quick actually I'm going to leave it like this um I've noticed that when I set my GUI scale down it actually makes it look too small this is actually perfect but the text is super large but we're going to have to deal with it um cuz I think having this bar like this is a lot easier for you guys and honestly it's a lot easier for me I don't have to sit 2 Ines from my monitor to look at it but anyway enough talking enough talking we need to get on with the episode Emerald okay so I kind of recorded premat prematurely I thought this was going to be the monument block but hey maybe we can trade that with someone huh it said shiny I should have listened to it but other way um I'm going to keep recording I'm not going to stop recording we're going to find this block and I'm going to jump down cuz I have feather falling three and I don't care so yeah um since we are recording now I want to go to the balloon that I think will have the monument block I might be wrong uh these dang things won't shut up oh oh this little dude coming at me I've noticed things are a lot I'm not going to say easier to kill on single player versus SMP but different I would say um different strategies come here guy come here yeah jump boost is actually really good against skeletons you can jump at them they can't push you back as easy I love it oh but anyway this is the balloon that I wanted to look at with you guys I thought the monument block was going to be in here recorded prematurely and now we're going to check it out um only problem is I don't think we have enough blocks to get up there you shooting at me come here come here I need to light this place up but I didn't think I was going to be here this long honestly yeah creeper blew up I did come over here and check this out creeper blew up inside here protection or uh feather falling these ones right here uh also looks like there's something else over there uh maybe that's where I have to go but we're going to check out this balloon anyway if these zombies would stop do I have any blocks no I don't think I do so now we're going to have to get blocks all these zombies harasses okay so let's good blocks hopefully you guys don't mind if I leave up the recording um I know sometimes I wish people didn't stop recording and I could see what they were doing so we're going to try that this episode also it'll be a little bit easier on the rendering side um as far as episode length is going to go from now on I'm going to keep episodes within hey the hell is this I need to heal before I fight you anyway um as far as rendering L for every video it's going to be about 20 minutes unfortunately I would like it to go more I can do it just fine on YouTube um if I was just uploading to YouTube every episode would be as long as I wanted it to be and you never know I mean I might I might go out and uh do longer episodes either only for YouTube or condense them down or maybe even cut them into Parts why can I not get up here what is this but we'll see um I'm going to try to keep these within like I said 20 minutes but I guess it we'll see um and then also with the rendering I had to when I downloaded that program I rendered it out it takes about an hour to condense the file which isn't long either it wasn't bad but that's why I wasn't recording and then I tried uploading that and I messed up something it wouldn't upload and so yeah now I'm just going to keep it easy on myself keep everything below 2.5 gig or two gig whatever it is and see where we go unfortunately I've almost been recording for two hours already uh this hopefully this will be enough blocks and hopefully we can get up or not not two hours what am I saying 20 minutes I probably did that before too could get some easy gravel here too but 30 should be enough hopefully we'll see odds are creepers and skeletons are going to fall on us anyway and push us down oh yep I can already hear them I'm actually going to take this a little bit safer is this a hole nice I can go up through there so I'm going to make a safety rail here and safety rail here and put a block here block here and all right we have just enough I think we're going to hop up in here yep I knew it I knew it safety rails though oh he needs on fire cuz of my sword now I'm on fire all right well we're up here they're all looks like they're all coming down from up top yeah this has to be this is the biggest balloon it has to have something either really good or it's going to have what we need which is the block the monument block okay this is going to be a pain I can already tell I'm going to run up there and eat do I have any potions that I can use jump boost jump boost jump boost hey hey uh what's this jump boost again okay what's this regeneration that's actually exactly what I wanted we're going to slap this on and we're going to go up here oh it's actually not that bad light everything up if I can walk around no no no no no try to get everything there looks like there's another floor I wonder what all this Redstone does I think this is a minute and a half regeneration too which is nice and I think they're fighting each other hope you're not claustrophobic this might bug you yeah oh you're beating up the little dude yes good good I don't normally cuss but oh no okay we're going to take you out guy hopefully he falls take you out and take you out oh there's a creeper come on blow up thank you okay now it's getting dangerous any more spawners that I'm missing I probably will find some when I watch the recording afterwards but whatever we're going to go up okay I see the skeletons are coming down here do I still have any regeneration no and I have no food all right not that bad a hole in the ceiling okay lots of creepers I see an iron door there here we go let's take this out H there might have been one behind that too I didn't check let's get some torches while I'm running about okay I see you I see you okay stop shooting me please I definitely see you thank you for exploding oh more torches get the place nice and lit at least then we can try to snipe them out okay okay I see you over there come on oh this is so hard to do on a tiny screen um I think you guys are going to enjoy the next okay you guys have already seen the okay come on kill him already thank you gosh um you guys have already seen the ice cream uh warehous episode 2 I think you guys are going to like this next episode though coming up tomorrow um something happened I'm not going to spoil anything something happened and we're going to take care of it where are you coming from probably still from this spawner that we haven't taken out yet okay well room conquered and this isn't actually that hard I thought the difficulty was going to raise a lot but let's go see what's in this chest first before we go in there the kitchen knife huh oh I'll take that oh that looks nice oh I want that actually but that sweet we're pretty decked out on Armor and supplies really I mean we don't have much food but we have potatoes now I can grind out potatoes for the next episode and aha yep see hopefully this is another emerald and we got the grass Monument block all right well we kind of set up to what we to what we wanted to do um again I looked at the other ones nothing too special I left some stuff behind like some sharpness three yada yada stuff um just like one was an anvil um stuff like that so but we've got the grass Monument block we're going to take six of them for lucky number six whatever that means and again I apologize for anything being short um as far as videos go but even though this is only about 15 minutes long I'm going to cut it now um hopefully you guys don't mind next episode we will be back at the Victory monument and we'll be placing everything and uh traveling on to maybe the next intersection we also have to check out that way too if you remember down below there was water leading up to Vines we're going to go over there and see what's over there but there we go um hope you guys enjoyed leave a like and comment if you want to and I'll see you guys tomorrow for the next video but I'll see you guys on this uh in two days every two days so so hope you guys enjoyed and catch you guys later
