Yo nice it's Mogswamp
Wait you can probably put this near that (dirt?) mountain you made
Build it leading into the ocean
eyy it's the superflat world guy
A Minecraft CZcamsr who doesn’t yell at you the whole time, is compassionate with the mobs in the world, and actually finishes the backs of his builds… unbelievable!
Damn Grian and those no back builds set down my standards
He’s not attracted to minors, either. What a great CZcamsr.
Is he playing in hardcore?

3:00 I've been playing Minecraft for years and I found out that you can breed horses with sugar NOW?!?!?!?!
You can’t use sugar to breed them but you can use sugar to increase the chance of taming a horse
Prob still didn’t know that 😅
Basically how it works is the game picks a random "temper" value from 0 to 99 for a horse. Every second you spend trying to tame it increases it by 1 until it hits 100 and gets tamed. Feeding it sugar, wheat, or an apple increases the temper by +3, golden carrots +5 and golden apples +10.

When designing the inflow for your lake, don't feel pressured to have a single "river". Having say, a 5 block wide river that splits off into separate small tributaries and thins out as it goes up the hill, or two different 3 block wide ones, both makes for a more interesting design, and also a more "realistic" one.
i wish more minecraft youtubers made content like this. No over the top editing, no screaming or totems popping every two seconds. It reminds me of the early days of Minecraft videos.

Finally! Someone who does the water RIGHT!
For too long have I seen people just place the top layer of water and call the rest "filled", even though they "filled" the rest with *flowing* water blocks, not *source* blocks, which just makes the water feature worse.
Personally I'm a fan of the top layer and kelp method. Faster than all by hand, but you still get all water sources.
How could you place just a top layer of water though ?
Place a layer of blocks first, then water on top, then break all the blocks ?
@@ReekRendTest1 That's what I do, then place and grow kelp to make them all source blocks
@@ReekRendTest1 Yep. That's how most people do it, it actually creates a bunch of waterfalls instead of proper water blocks, and it interferes with things like swimming, items, and bubble columns.
Marloe you are probably one of the most underrated builders ever. Your build style isn’t crazy in which no one can learn from but quite simple but amazing.
Amen. The amount of tutorials of his I have used is nuts
Couldn’t agree more, he deserves more viewers.
@@alexmiles2002 I used all of his villager house tutorials in a village I made.
This is happening to many great newer youtubers since there is no pandemic keeping everybody inside
Fr
What I love about this is that it's how I would play minecraft if I was super committed to it. Just simple yet great builds and a small amount of shenanigans. Also, the lack of colorful subtitles and yelling makes it so much more chill than most minecraft videos.
A suggestion for the forest: You can also help the looks and density by just giving the trees more height. That way the leaves are not in your face and its mostly trunks.
Kinda like... real trees xD
Hand placed/made trees would look better, but if Marloe doesn't want to build trees, place the saplings on a dirt pillar then replacing the dirt with logs would work.
@@Andrewtr6 Never thought of doing this, and will definitely be trying it out.
There are plenty of trees/forests in real life that are so short and dense you cant walk under them idk what youre talking about
british people have never been in a real forest
@@stetson_newsie2600 The sapling in pillars of dirt and then replacing the dirt with log/trunks is an old school build method.
14:32 almost pulled a grian
A lot of dams in the western United States, I’m sure elsewhere, flooded abandoned towns when the reservoir filled up nearby. It would be neat to have some kind of old village submerged in the reservoir
I scuba dived in lake Oachita in central arkansas. There’s an entire town under there. Trains and cranes and other equipment. Crazy cool!! Clear water!!
Yeah in the UK we did the same thing. There is a very large reservoir called Kielder Water had a town (not sure if it was abandoned or evacuated) that got submerged. So I'm pretty sure it's a practise done all over the world
Yep our Horsetooth Reservoir has the old ghost town of Stout at the bottom from when the dam was made in the 1940's, Population: 47 ½ 😊
@jcofortco what was the half?
@@Reliant_RobinLOL good question! It's funny I always assumed a child... but the sign at the South end of Horsetooth reservoir reads population 47 and a 1/2, so I'm not sure!
This guy is playing Minecraft the perfect way. Calm, creative, good concepts and no overblown ideas. Waiting to build first my PC so I can play with the immersion mods.
I would say a sort of braided river, many small, inter-weaving rivers coming from the ice mountain to the lakewould make total sense for where you are in the world. In colder seasons the rivers will be small as the ice is at it's fullest, meaning the dam can stay shut without issue, but as the ice melts the river grows stronger and the dam has to release the floodgates to control the water.
This is exactly what I was thinking! It's how a lot of real life lakes form anyways.
Yep, some surface rivers directly from the snowmelt, and maybe some seepages coming out of the stone slightly lower on the mountains, maybe even a cave stream or two.
A Minecraft CZcamsr who seems like an actual human being. Love it
Maybe, when the dam opens, white ball fireworks should explode right at the edges of the opening so its like pressure being released (kinda like water vapor). The fireworks would have to be triggered beforehand in order for them to explode at the same time as the water begins to flood out. It would be a little white explosion at the edges of the water channels, and with the sequencing you added, it might look pretty cool. Just a suggestion.
This and add a toggle for campfires at the bottom of the waterfall to show gushing water vapor when the water is running down
The time spent in repeaters and redstone and a spot of gunpowder would be well worth it, really cool idea to simulate the vapor 'splosion!
@@house5215with my experience from building with campfires the smoke from it has a short render distance so it will not be visible from the control tower
Really unrealistic
The idea is quite cool but it would look more realistic if a firework or a beacon popped out of the control Tower when the lever is flicked so that it would look like a warning system
0:18 oh. Come on just say the pun

9:46 *Dam* that transition was crazy smooth!!
Fr
Percy Jackson reference????
@Trexcombo I think it's just an unrelated pun.
It’s called an invisible cut (with masking) in the editing world and it’s used quite often in other CZcams videos, commercials, films and series, but not in Minecraft videos so that’s pretty cool and creative! In my opinion, the transition could’ve been even smoother if the two moving screens had the same speed and if the logs in between had purpose for the second screen (like, maybe the logs could’ve been part of the design of a long underground tunnel). But I guess it doesn’t have to be even ‘smoother’ because it’s all a stylistic choice :)
15:11 here is another fun idea that use the forest under the lake, you could make an underground forest that is mixed with some lush cave item and create some kind of mystic cave, (may or may not have a link to the monolith…)
Underrated idea, like up people
You should build a golf course at the back 14:57
Yes lmao
Gone are the days when creators like him would genuinely do whatever satisfies them the most and share that with the world instead of dumping some over produced garbage for money.
The tower could use a secondary color because it feels a bit too orange. Also some bigger custom trees would really make this project pop. Amazing build overall!
I think he's letting the copper age, so the colors will be orange and teal
@@ulisessalduna4351 Patina Dam, nice.
Years ago, back in the beta, when cauldrons were introduced, I built a dam that was controlled by the weather. I had to empty the cauldrons (rain detector) manually from time to time.
You should be the next hermitcraft member. Your personality and all that. Youre like bdouble00 and Rendog had a child. You should be in hermitcraft.
real ! i was just thinking about that
And grian is the uncle due to him not finishing the back
was gonna say... thought they were already one
he's also not dissimilar from grian... not filling in the backs until the last minute 😂
AGREEEEEE
One of the only wholesome minecraft youtubers, I like how he actually cares about the mobs, its very heart-warming to see someone who cares about the world and doesn't make clickbaity commentary.
This is so cool! It’s a deceptively simple build but it brings so much purpose and story to the area, the fact that it functions too is really a cherry on top!
Now, now this is how minecraft is supposed to be played, no game-breaking farms or mods or exploits.
Had your video pop up in my recommended this morning and clicked because I thought the build in the thumbnail looked cool. Little did I except to find not only your incredible builds, but also some very nice editing and your amazingly calming voice, none of the unnecessary shouting that is so common on minecraft videos nowadays. Reminds me of minecraft let's plays from back in the day, definitely earned a subscriber out of me! ❤
13:48 I think you should put some mossy cobblestone down next to the water's edge it look like some algae or moss have been growing Over time there. And put down some stone buttons look like some small rocks.
Make it more realistic by automatically opening the flood gates for a day after a day of rain. Could achieve this with a modified rain sensor by Ilmango.
"proper safety" proceeds to run on tracks 3:07
13:26 thwt would make sence as most river do start in the mountains as little streams due to rain fall, they then flow down the the oceans, or lakes
Or there are underground springs or huge groundwater reservoirs.
i miss this kind of content, it brings me back to 10 years ago in a positive way
The horse didn't go into that crevice on accident! It was all part of their evil plan, mwahahahahha!!! The dam and tower is epic. It instantly made me think of when the Ents destroy Saruman's tower in the Lord of the Rings: "Break the dam! Free the river!!"
9:00 i thought u installed a mod lmao
How to get it to go up like that?
@@FhfGrhhe did it himself
How can i find this place
I love the tower dude looks really good with the gradient on the walls, and the mud bricks really bring out that faded color. Its only sad that you didn't cover the roof with deoxidised unwaxed copper, so that over time it creates an ageing effect, but nevertheless sick. A lot of builders have styles, but you excel at realistic impressions.
I think it would be super cool to utilise the hole where the water drains in a cool way! Maybe make an underground city, with the funnel of water being a centrepiece? I know it would be a huge task, but I think it could be super rewarding to complete!
Water bodies don't "drain" in Minecraft, as it's water source blocks. Nor do they fill up the bottom lake like in this video, something is very fishy.
For future players, you can make one layer any building block, then on top, fill it with water, then brake the blocks and let the water do its job. Keep in mind that this will lag a lot if you want to do it this way.
If this doesn't work, then I guess it only works on bedrock edition as i built a custom deep multilayer ocean.
So ItsMarloe is playing on bedrock? Well, that explains the water.
@@SpaceTalon idk if they are or not
kelp
Doesn't this make it so the water is always technically flowing downwards, though, creating a kind of "suction" force if you ever swim in it? I could be wrong.
This, the issue with doing this is that the water won't be source blocks below, so it will always pull you down if you try swimming in it. Should work fine if you don't care about that though.
A cool idea might be to use a redstone counter with a daylight sensor to make a "seasonal" river from the mountains.
Starting the video with "damn" is poetic ngl
1:37
The Grian of hills
7:40 you filled in your dam the same way I have filled in multiple in the past! Also to everyone thinking it's crazy it's fun because you learn how to make the water fill in big areas which is satisfying and it's done before you know it.
Best MC channel I've seen in a long time. Attention to detail in all the builds and leaving no stone un-turned. Amazingly directed, edited and choreographed. Its calm, pleasant and a joy to watch!
Dam (pun intended)! That was one heck of a build. Really cool when the water started flowing. It must have been an effort on your part. But the effort's worth it. The dam looks amazing!
nice pun! 😂

1.4 million views! Marloe, that's amazing.
Everyone, Wake Up! Marloe just posted!
the hole in the cave, it may be none of our business, but I'd like to think that a cavern is down there, and you just supplied a bunch of cave flora to flourish in the depths.
Perhaps a Axolotl sanctuary.
I love the process of building. I hate the process of getting the materials for blocks.
I dont want to play creative because its more fun seeing the resources get removed from the world and having to plan around the supplies and limitations you have. Also in survival I actually get to use what I build, whereas in creative I can opt out of things.
Maybe some automation modpacks where you can attain infinite materials with automating stuff
I have a suggestion! It might be a little tedious but you might try to put sand around the edge of a small aquifer filled by the dam? Might make a nice park or a scenic area for visitors or townsfolk? Maybe decorate the bottom of the your dams lakes with corral, sea pickles, seaweed?
Now make a non functional dam
Misread it and thought you asked him to make my dad in Minecraft
@@Leah-s3ldw just make a super flat world without mobs and he'll be right in front of you
I love making dams in minecraft. There's just something awesome about raising the water level to ridiculous heights.
Great build, looks cool and it actually works
i usually say that giant builds are unimpressive, but wow, this is bloody brilliant.
Saving that horse told me all I needed to know about your channel. Most CZcamsrs would've killed it. Subscribed!
Imagine a village in the style of Old London Bridge on the lake or by the river. That would be epic.
That is an amazing build. I really enjoyed how well thought out you made that.
4:40 For future reference, rather than using repeaters here, you could use target blocks under the torches.
And since pistons are transparent blocks, you can do far better than that. You can instead move the blocks the torches are on from two blocks below the repeater, to one block below the repeater, and one block to the side. This way you can power the block using dust on top of it and place the torches on the sides of the blocks.
First time I've ever watched one of your videos, but I absolutely love this. No crazy cuts every two seconds or wacky zany sound effects bursting in my eardrums to try and string along a two second attention span. Just a nice, relaxing - and interesting - minecraft building video. Props to you.
9:30 why don’t you build some custom trees for aesthetic
came out of idle curiousity to see the dam work, stayed seeing you were nice to the horse instead of needlessly slaughtering it. it's nice to see kindness.
How did you fill in the water at ~8:45? Were you just placing the water blocks yourself and edited it to make it seem as though it naturally filled up, or is there something I am missing?
I'm at the exact same part of the video and I'm surprised as much as you.
It could be some plugin or a mod since we can see he has some installed
He tossed away the bucket of water to imply he filled it by hand but was pretending it filled itself.
I don't even play minecraft, but I admire the effort you put into this video. You make for a very relaxing viewing experience with the foley affects. For example, when you're in the forest, you hear forest noises. Your editing style flows so nicely as well. Your attention to detail in making these videos create almost an ASMR like experience. You're truly an inspiration, and I wish you the best
How did the water fill up?
No clue
he did it by hand, that's why he was joking with the bucket in his hands at 8:49
Just a thought. If you took the water from the lake and let it keep running under the viaduct to the monolith, only in a 4-8 block stream, taking it down the valley instead of into the cave.
1:57 me: 👀....... 🦶💢
This one of the most relaxing yet mind-boggling megaprojects I've ever seen, minecraft or otherwise. Hats off to you my lad I certainly will be watching more.
Do you have a mod for the water physics? last time i played it wasnt as you said "auto filling" and when you oppened the dam it filled the whole thing with water... is it a mod or is this a thing now?
He filled it in manually. That's why he included the joke of "All filled in with no water buckets" and then he throws out the bucket he obviously used for all of this.
I know but i mean the first part (7:14) he puts the buckets on the side blocks and then the water autofills the rest i always filled things by filling the second highest layer with blocks and then put water on top of them, then if you break the blocks it autofills the whole space
If you think about it it’s 2 water sources to make another then that can make another water source etc
@@naser_si Water treats source blocks like solid blocks when its autofilling, which is how it's able to do that. Doing the layer of dirt at the top method does fill up the dam faster, but it leaves most blocks as flowing water rather than source blocks
The vibes of this video are unmatched, so glad this popped up at my recommended! Keep up this amazing work

The tower from lake Vyrnwy, is a straining tower. Those chains are for the sluice gate to let water pass through a mesh and feed a 70mile long aquaduct underground to Liverpool. It’s a really nice addition to the build though!
whats the music at 15:43?

10:42 i think ive been there before oddly enough 😂😂😂
Jesus loves you all❤️❤️
Marloe feels more genuine than other hardcore Minecraft CZcamsrs. He makes actually good jokes, goes out of his way to do things on the spot, and references where his inspiration. More CZcamsrs should be like this
7:34 r u creative ?
I'm pretty sure I saw him bobbing up and down a bit
He’s not flying he’s using replay mod
It looks like he’s in creative but if u look closely you’ll see him in the water
Oh yea u guys r rite my mistake
It's really cool, although I'm a bit disappointed the dam isn't concave-shaped instead of straight.
FYI kelp turns flowing water into source blocks, so you can place one at the bottom and bonemeal it until it reaches the top of where you want the water to be, you just need to place a source block at the very top so all of the water flows downwards. Next time you shouldn't have to place every single one, hopefully
a fun blend of survival gameplay with creative/modded building
When it comes to creating a giant lake, it would be way easier to fill the top layer with water, and then plant kelp at the bottom and let it grow to the top.
I love building lakes (and by that I mean flooding any bowl-shaped terrain I see), wish I had the skills to make a proper dam. One thing I will do, though, I’d throw an ossuary’s worth of bonemeal at the lakebed to fill it with sea grass and kelp for that extra bit of life. Sometimes I’ll import salmon, too. Maybe another time?
You give me bob ross vibes, love the format you’ve created for yourself man
That was fantastic! I love seeing things in Minecraft work for real.
The trick with water is to use kelp, create a wall of water, and when you start to fill it with kelp, they all turn to sources which can lead to that filling in thing the water can sometimes do. This will make it quickly flood a zone
This reminds me of a dam me and my brother built, though way bigger of course, on our old minecraft world. Oh the memories
Based off the title I assumed this would be some redstone witchcraft to actually change the water level after the dam, instead I got a relaxing build video, love it
A fun challenge would be to build a working lock in Minecraft, to raise or lower the water for a boat to go between two water levels. I've tried this myself with limited success.
It can only be 2 blocks wide so you can use dispensers to add or remove water sources within the lock. You also have to add soul sand at the bottom in order for the boat to go up instead of sinking when you raise the water level.
amazingly well edited! very calm and relaxing, nice story telling, nice cuts and transitions, nice montages, all very well done, thanks a lot for the entertainment!
Peace begins with a smile.
My jaw dropped when I realized you do this all in survival. Also I did not know water worked that way. I've been playing Minecraft for a long time and when I saw the other side fill up I was shocked.
I recently read a master plan for a botanical garden: some advice for lakeside trees, is segment the trees to give a view such that only part of the lake is visible from any one segment, this makes the lake feel more expansive and makes the segment feel more intimate.
So if you want to try, creating sorts of segments, split up by foliage to give incomplete views of the lake, to get it looking better from an on ground view.
This video is so chill and it’s so nice seeing someone playing in normal survival for a change. Feels like it’s 2017 again and I’m just watching someone do a let’s play and building cool stuff. You have a new subscriber!
That is beautiful.
The Minecraft destruction monster inside me wants to know what happens if you blow up the dam, though. But don't. But do. But don't-
I really only clicked this video as I thought you had come up with some way to make water function in minecraft - but I stayed because I really loved the build! I also liked your solution of just adding a nice water source.
I think it COULD be really cool have a roman style aqueduct trickling mountain water into the lake, but thats a huge build
The first idea for the waterfall into the dam actually made more sense then the tiny waterfall you went with
Came over from TT and dang it you are so pleasant to listen to and watch. Can't wait to get through your back logs and follow along.
