Coe's Quest

Sep 16, 2010

Just getting started and picking a place t o hole up (with a nice view).

Sep 16, 2010

And I thought we were getting off to such a great start... man, I almost had a pregnant.

Sep 17, 2010

Now we're getting down to business.

Sep 17, 2010

I really, really like the sun. Also, sorry for my bad cooking habits! I'll be more attentive in the future. :P

Sep 17, 2010

Is our mineshaft finally going to yield something useful?

Sep 18, 2010

The deeper we go, the creepier it gets. It's starting to get interesting.

Sep 19, 2010

Shortening the supply trips and taking advantage of that ground-level door.

Sep 19, 2010

Buncha' chickens. Buncha' pigs. Buncha' cows. Buncha' SHEEP. TOO MUCH HAM, NOT ENOUGH HIDE.

Sep 19, 2010

...perhaps it's not quite as dark as I thought?

Sep 21, 2010

Time to get in there and wrangle that spawner! Also, hello r/Minecraft! HERP DERP

Sep 21, 2010

Establishing our bottom-level base in preparation for making a spawner trap and the on-going diamond quest.

Sep 22, 2010

But which one? So many quests...

Sep 23, 2010

Seems like everything is difficult for me... at least you get to learn from my mistakes. :P

Sep 23, 2010

Building a spawner trap can't be that hard, right? Right?

Sep 24, 2010

Those skeletons are REALLY ASKING FOR IT.

Sep 26, 2010

Minecraft decided to reward me for my recent trials. Also, we finally emerge!

Sep 26, 2010

Wow, seems like a long time since we've visited some of these landmarks...

Sep 28, 2010

More work on my not-quite-a-sky-bridge, and I'm mean to sheep.

Sep 29, 2010

Strange and many noises from beneath the earth...

Sep 30, 2010

Getting a bit of cabin fever, how 'bout some scurvy instead?

Oct 1, 2010

Explore, build, search, fight? Pick one, dang it!

Oct 2, 2010

Everyone else makes this stuff look easy. :P

Oct 3, 2010

Venturing out once again, getting things I missed.

Oct 4, 2010

I love this new territory, so I'm establishing a new base! :D

Oct 5, 2010

Checking up on the aftermath, and starting my own "Laputa."

Oct 7, 2010

[SPOILER] I went an entire episode without being blown up or suicidal! Amazing!

Oct 8, 2010

Trying to decide what I want to do with my new land...

Oct 8, 2010

Fleshing out the castle... and digging a hole. Really, my motives were (and remain) quite benign!

Oct 9, 2010

I really am a bumbling fool... :|

Oct 11, 2010

After getting tired of billy goating up and down that mountain, I've decided to build that suggested water ladder...

Oct 12, 2010

There's certain important things you need to know before you even *think* about building a water ladder. Guess who didn't know those things?

Oct 13, 2010

Just a little bit more work towards erecting our castle, hardening the structure by adding a few more turret shafts. That should really help stiffen things up.

Oct 14, 2010

Niko will never be able to appreciate my gift to him. :P

Oct 15, 2010

It feels like a waste, anyway, but only because I'm typically short of lumber. Feels weird to be building with it. :S

Oct 16, 2010

Putting some finish on the ceiling/floor of Castle Dogbone, followed by sudden new things.

Oct 17, 2010

So far, this mine has been super effective at uncovering redstone ore.

Oct 18, 2010

I have so much redstone now. I could make a redstone computer, or redstone minecart track switchers, or redstone pancakes, or redstone underwear...

Oct 19, 2010

Doing quite well so far, found a lot of coal and redstone, and a decent amount of iron. Thinking I'm just about through with floor 1 now. :)

Oct 19, 2010

Ooo, bonus episode! It seems I've discovered the source of the magma and those creepy sounds...

Oct 20, 2010

I guess it could be worse. XD

Oct 21, 2010

Who would've thought that a tree farm could be so rewarding, eh?

Oct 22, 2010

After all this time, we're finally exploring a cave! Pretty decent one, too. :)

Oct 23, 2010

I think we've hit our iron goal, and I think my tree farm is actually starting to work!

Oct 24, 2010

Working on connecting the two bases now, but it looks like I'm gonna have to dig up some more iron to finish it.

Oct 26, 2010

Wow, I vastly underestimated the amount of iron I was gonna need! We're getting there, though. Sorry for the late episode... gonna try to make it up to you somehow later this week. :D

Oct 27, 2010

Branch mining is so awesome. It's a good thing I like it, 'cause that's all I've been doing for the past few nights. Still, I've found a lot of diamonds and iron, so I can't complain anyway. :)

Oct 28, 2010

The track is finally complete - now to make it actually usable!

Oct 28, 2010

Now to finish building those stations and actually RIDE THIS TRACK!

Oct 29, 2010

It's time to start prepare for our upcoming trip to hell. Luckily, now that the Pilif INTER-Base Railway is complete, we can throw a portal up at both ends and see if making a pitstop in hell is worth it...

Oct 30, 2010

EPISODE 50! Hooray!! Anywho, the mobs are truly strange in this game. I mean, I love 'em, but honestly... wtf Notch? :P

Oct 31, 2010

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! The first episode in a five part epic in which I GO TO HELL (a.k.a. the Slip, or officially, the "Nether") and maybe die and do other stuff that is all generally rather Minecrafty.

Oct 31, 2010

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! The second episode in a five part epic in which I GO TO HELL (a.k.a. the Slip, or officially, the "Nether") and maybe die and do other stuff that is all generally rather Minecrafty.

Oct 31, 2010

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! The third episode in a five part epic in which I GO TO HELL (a.k.a. the Slip, or officially, the "Nether") and maybe die and do other stuff that is all generally rather Minecrafty.

Oct 31, 2010

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! The forth episode in a five part epic in which I GO TO HELL (a.k.a. the Slip, or officially, the "Nether") and maybe die and do other stuff that is all generally rather Minecrafty.

Oct 31, 2010

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! The fifth and final episode in a five part epic in which I GO TO HELL (a.k.a. the Slip, or officially, the "Nether") and maybe die and do other stuff that is all generally rather Minecrafty.

Nov 2, 2010

Back at Station hubba44, but all is not well... It seems some invaders have made themselves at home while I was away.

Nov 3, 2010

Ok, I think the hubba44 station is back under my control once more. Hopefully it stays that way. :)

Nov 3, 2010

Oh, the plans I have for hell. Those (sorta) peaceful zombie pigmen have no idea that I plan to take over their kingdom... muahaha. :)

Nov 4, 2010

Running around in hell again, getting some lightstone. Thinking about building a base in hell. Setting trees on fire. It's been an interesting day. :P

Nov 4, 2010

After dealing with my now burning tree farm, it's time to head back to hell and get started on that base! :D

Nov 4, 2010

Yes, ghasts can't beat cobblestone - the day is mine! I'm taking over hell, you damn pigs! Muahaha!

Nov 5, 2010

And so begins our massive project to take over hell. Now that I've secured the de.monkeyz Portal, I'm building a bridge over to our as-of-yet unnamed portal. :)

Nov 6, 2010

It seems my deeds will not go unpunished! No matter, the quest must go on! The bridge to somewhere must be built!

Nov 8, 2010

I ain't 'fraid a' no ghasts. The bridge/corridor thing is beginning to piss off the ghasts, I think -- I'm not such an easy target now! Does it make me a bigot if I say it worries me that so many zombie pigmen are using my bridge already? o.O

Nov 9, 2010

It's probably about time we wrapped things up in hell and moved on to bigger and better things. There's so much yet to be explored! :)

Nov 9, 2010

This new area is really interesting yet surprisingly thin on jack o' lanterns. :/ I guess that means I'll just have to go searching farther. On a related note, the world map has been updated!

Nov 10, 2010

A very strange relic was discovered on my world map, which I must investigate. I also found a very enchanting forest in a valley, which looks just amazing.

Nov 12, 2010

The exploration of this new, enchanted realm continues onward. Many interesting land-sculptures to behold, and one in particular I claim for my own.

Nov 13, 2010

The flying "Misty Island" is starting to feel like home, if you ask me. We'll see what happens. Why are mobs so suicidal? They don't seem to have any sense of self-preservation. :P

Nov 14, 2010

Ok, I can't say I'm feeling too great about this new area around the Misty Island. :( It looks great, but it feels BAD.

Nov 15, 2010

Since I lost my items, I ran around and gather some supplies. Now it's time to check out something interesting people found on the world map!

Nov 16, 2010

I got attacked by something I haven't experienced before, and I attempt to build a hut near to our newly discovered dungeon. :)

Nov 18, 2010

I think I'll get it right this time! :D Sure! What could go wrong?

Nov 19, 2010

So far to travel, so much pain to endure, all this work just to find a cactus! Who knew?

Nov 19, 2010

Did I get my items back? Will the creepers ever let me be?? AAARRRRGGGG!!

Nov 21, 2010

Later I was really wishing I had brought some obsidian along. -.- Well, I'm not exactly know for my forethought, am I?

Nov 21, 2010

I think the terrain generator is trying to ask me out on a date. What do you think?

Nov 22, 2010

Doing some work towards making the dungeon hut feel a little more like home. Still a little rough around the edges, though. :)

Nov 24, 2010

RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Nov 24, 2010

Just an FYI: I don't know if I'll be able to do an episode tomorrow or not, as I'll be out and about visiting friends. I'll try, though!

Nov 26, 2010

Looks like they're out for vengeance, word must've got around about my two skeleton traps (and one destroyed skeleton spawner)! They've sent skeleton assassins to whoop my ass. :P

Nov 27, 2010

Seems like I've finally come up with something that works!

Nov 29, 2010

Finally giving a go at some agriculture -- of course, as usual, I have no clue what I'm doing.

Nov 30, 2010

Thanks to the billions of advice comments I got on the last video, I think I'm a lot closer to being a farming expert now! Seriously though, thanks for the info. ;)

Dec 2, 2010

Yes, I seem to have gone a little farming crazy. :P

Dec 2, 2010

This one just about gave me whiplash.

Dec 4, 2010

Please take a moment to answer my poll if you haven't already.

Dec 4, 2010

All loaded up with supplies, I'm ready to get back down into that cavern and find out what goodies are hidden within.

Dec 6, 2010

GRRRRRRR My internet was down for so long. Sorry! Finally snatched the opportunity to upload the episode. ZOMBIES!

Dec 6, 2010

Finally, the cliffhanger from E089 is resolved! How did it turn out? Who knows? Not me!

Dec 7, 2010

I've never explored a cavern system quite like this one, it truly is a labyrinth - and it only seems to be getting worse and worse.

Dec 8, 2010

There really doesn't (yet) appear to be any end in sight for this cavern - every pathway I clear out yields two more, and seems to be full of baddies. This is definitely the most epic cavern I've ever explored.

Dec 9, 2010

This one is kind of self explanatory, I think. Must be my punishment for trying to explore out this cavern and make it my own...

Dec 10, 2010

I know some of you aren't fans of caverns because they're boring, or too scary for you, or whatever - hang tight! I have plans...

Dec 12, 2010

If you haven't seen this yet, see it now! Info about the Coe's Quest 100th Episode Extravaganzagasm!

Dec 13, 2010

I would say that the Labyrinth has been 95% explored at this point, excluding caverns that require some demolition to expose. It still had a few final tricks up its sleeve, but I think it's safe to say that this cavern has finally been defeated.

Dec 13, 2010

How about we hit the surface and get some sun and fresh air? Time to go take care of some loose ends and get organized for things to come.

Dec 14, 2010

Well, I'm an idiot and didn't measure things out whatsoever. However, doesn't matter! It's still awesome anyway!

Dec 15, 2010

This is it! Next is the Extravaganzagasm!

Dec 17, 2010

EXTRAVAGANZAGASM! :D Here it is! A 1 hour and 15 minute special episode to mark the 100th episode of Coe's Quest! This project was inspired by Necramar's fantastic tutorials!

Dec 19, 2010

Work continues on the new railway station. I don't know why, but this is the most engaging project I've taken on in Minecraft. I'm really, REALLY excited to see it working completely (full arrivals/departures). :D

Dec 20, 2010

Just about finished with my basement - installing all the final gate logic comes tomorrow. :)

Dec 20, 2010

Hooray! I am missing one bit of elegance, though. Can you guess what it is?

Dec 23, 2010

I am really surprised that I've been having so much fun with redstone - I thought I'd hate it, but it's pretty cool when it actually works. :) Anyway, kudos to Necramar for the tutorial on the 4-way Track Switcher (hopefully I didn't screw it up too badly)

Dec 23, 2010

I hope everyone has a great holiday! Go out and have some fun, open some presents, eat some good food, play some games! :D I probably won't upload a vid for two days or so, sorry! I'll be out doing holiday stuff. :)

Dec 27, 2010

After a refreshing break, I've come back to get some work done. :) I think I'd like to go exploring soon, too...

Dec 30, 2010

Finally had time to get an episode out. :D Sorry for the delay. :(

Jan 1, 2011

Just a little change of pace.

Jan 2, 2011

Vote for me and/or your other favorite Minecraft LPers!

Jan 7, 2011

Long overdue, here be E114! Sorry for the delay. My life has been a complete disaster this week.

Jan 10, 2011

Finally turned this station into something more respectable looking. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it! :)

Jan 13, 2011

Here's the latest news if you haven't seen it already!

Jan 20, 2011

Found a great little spot to setup a new home and start trying out those new features. :)

Jan 23, 2011

I traveled a heckuva lot farther than I thought!

Jan 27, 2011

The world map has been updated!

Feb 13, 2011

Back from my little hiatus. Been really busy with work and side projects, but I've got some footage lined up. :)

Feb 14, 2011

Finishing up my storage room addition to the cabin, then onto some new stuff. :)

Feb 14, 2011

Just wanted to say: I love you all! Starting a big drop trap project, I'm hoping it works the way I think it will.

Feb 19, 2011

WARP SPEED. A bit of terraforming here, and a lot of work it was. The end result is looking nice, though.

Feb 21, 2011

Trench time! I'm sure this is probably going to be another big Coe-failure. I don't care, it's what I feel like doin'. It's not official until it murders me, though.

Feb 23, 2011

A chance encounter with a family of chickens. Other stuff happens, too.

Feb 23, 2011

It's always nice to see a familiar face, isn't it? :)

Feb 27, 2011

Finally got around to starting that observation deck I was talking about.

Mar 5, 2011

Who knew beds could be so dangerous? Anyway, I think I'm starting to get this grinder grinding. :)

Mar 12, 2011

Still trying to avoid using tutorials and coming up with my own (or viewer suggested) ideas. So far so good! :D

Mar 16, 2011

Lots of variety and some travelling in this episode. Also, I can't believe it's been six months already! :D

Mar 18, 2011

Work, work, work! This is probably one of my most satisfying projects so far. :)

Mar 21, 2011

Now that I have access to unlimited TNT, I need to figure out what to do with it!

Mar 23, 2011

Now that I have some TNT to play with, it's time to take care of a few requests! :)

Mar 25, 2011

Finally got the last bit from kiershar's design in there. Also, please consider donating to help Japan!

Mar 29, 2011

Finishing up my new storage area as designed by Necomi, and then it's time for a little spelunking. ;)

Mar 31, 2011

I never find baby-caverns, only these gigantic unending labyrinths. :P This is the last of my 1.3 footage!

Apr 2, 2011

Oh boy, 1.4 is here! BARK BARK

Apr 4, 2011

Get the piston mod here!

Apr 8, 2011

Many distractions in this episode... a bit of this, a bit of that, and everything else. :)

Apr 12, 2011

And so the fort building really begins. Also, the 1.5 update sounds like it is going to be the biggest update we've had since Halloween, and probably way better! :)

Apr 15, 2011

I think the wall really ties the plateau together, even though I've had to murder a lot of trees to build it. Anyway... DogFort to Red Lobster, over...

Apr 19, 2011

Just about done. Doing a bit of landscaping as I go, and now all I can think about are towers and spires and turrets. Let me know your ideas!

Apr 19, 2011

Wow, thanks for all the feedback! Let me know what you think after you see this update. :) FYI, I will be putting together a world download soon.

Apr 22, 2011

As promised, new world download, go bananas!

Apr 27, 2011

Sorry for the delay, had a pretty terrible work week. Gonna try to make it up if I can. :)

Apr 28, 2011

Acting on some good suggestions, turning that outpost into a tower. Also, news type stuff coming soonish about our next big celebration of the number 50.

May 2, 2011

Clearing out and cleaning up the tower, liking it a lot better now than I did before. :)

May 3, 2011

Gotta say, this is turning out better than I thought it would. I really like molding these larger structures into shape, it's a lot of fun.

May 4, 2011

Getting ready for our honored guests!

May 9, 2011

This is the Charity Courtyard!

May 13, 2011

It seems all my means of getting around are slowly falling apart (except portals). :(

May 26, 2011

Woo, 1.6! Maps are a little weird, and hatches too.

Jun 29, 2011

Have I been gone forever? I've been gone forever. But I'm back! :D

Jul 1, 2011

Onward to new, unexplored lands! Establishing a base and messing with pistons next. :)

Jul 4, 2011

Trying a new building style...

Jul 7, 2011

Thanks for all the suggestions, I've made some of the changes you recommended. :D

Jul 9, 2011

Borrowed Etho's room-clearing technique. :)

Jul 12, 2011

Got pretty lucky there... Thinking up better uses for pistons.

Jul 13, 2011

Now I need to think of something more useful to build. :P

Jul 22, 2011

Realized how unnecessarily huge my cobble generator is and had a few ideas on how to fix it. :)

Aug 9, 2011

Finally moved! Sorry for the delay. :) New project!

Aug 11, 2011

Working out some of the finer details of this thing now. :)

Aug 13, 2011

Had a little miscalculation in my construction...

Aug 17, 2011

New world download will be released soon, likely in the next few days. :)

Aug 17, 2011

New World Download!

Aug 20, 2011

This one is a lot more "raw" than usual. With this, the flushing mechanism should be complete! Just a few items left to complete the whole project.

Aug 23, 2011

Finally coming up for air, and it's refreshing. :) Let's see what we can find...

Aug 30, 2011

Finding my way back and rambling about the upcoming 1.8 update. :)

Sep 10, 2011

Hooray for 1.8! I'm dying to explore all these new features. :D

Sep 13, 2011

OUCH!

Sep 14, 2011

These spiders are really pissed off at me, but they're tons of fun to fight! :)

Sep 23, 2011

Finishing up in the mine, then going on a trip! Here's a link to the FPS fix by iPeer:

Sep 26, 2011

So, I've definitely found plenty of land...

Sep 29, 2011

Taking a little tour around before setting out again. :)

Sep 30, 2011

Getting myself totally lost in this one...

Oct 15, 2011

FYI, probably streaming right now (11:30PM EST) as you read this: http://twitch.tv/coestar - if so, we're probably playing some Vechs' maps or some kind of adventure map. :)

Oct 19, 2011

Cows, grrr.

Nov 10, 2011

Had crazy audio/video sync issues so this one is a little shorter, but we'll be back to normal next time. :)

Nov 11, 2011

A bit of recon to see what's on offer around this new village, and a weird creeper.

Nov 13, 2011

Not the most efficient method, but it's what I felt like.

Nov 14, 2011

Making further progress in the new mine. I'm pretty excited for this mine, lots of good stuff for the taking. :)

Nov 15, 2011

I sure do love those new stone bricks. :)

Nov 15, 2011

It all boils down to one diamond, go figure. :P

Nov 16, 2011

Three ravines (and one double ravine), three spawners, and a sprawling abandoned mine? This is madness!

Nov 18, 2011

Now let's see what this fancy table can do! :3

Nov 19, 2011

Look who's back! :)

Nov 22, 2011

Back from MineCon and back on track. :)

Nov 24, 2011

Thanks for the help. ;)

Nov 26, 2011

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday. :)

Nov 27, 2011

Damn, that was a lot of zombies!

Nov 28, 2011

Brute force seems to be the way.

4th Extravaganzagasm Ideas

Dec 8, 2011

I've been busy working on some things related to the 200th episode celebration (or "Extravaganzagasm") lately. ;)

Dec 10, 2011

Great catch, Psychobeans!

Dec 13, 2011

Sorry for the delay, been very busy working on thing for the 200th episode celebration. ;)

Dec 15, 2011

...vs. my computer. 200th episode shindig info coming soon!

Dec 17, 2011

200 episodes! Hard to believe it's been so many. Also, Extravaganzagasm is probably live right now!

Dec 21, 2011

A little bit more Nether, then off to do something new.

Dec 23, 2011

This one's a bit more raw than usual, shows a bit of my thought process when coming up with building ideas.

Dec 27, 2011

Back from Xmas break, doing more work on the village and wranglin' some livestock.

Dec 29, 2011

Getting a wheat farm going - no tutorial involved, just hacking around at it myself. :)

Dec 31, 2011

Chickens in this game are so goofy.

Jan 4, 2012

Reddit Tournaments!

Jan 10, 2012

Got busy again. :P Been doing stuff with the MCTourney guys, and things for the dayjob, and working on my map "OWBOX"

Jan 18, 2012

Sheep sure grow their wool back fast!

Dec 25, 2012

I uploaded you a present! Have a safe and happy holiday!

Jan 2, 2013

Happy 2013, here's to a great year! :) In this episode, I'm getting the goods together that I'll need to make the other goods I'll need to fight the wither. :P

Jan 10, 2013

Sorry for the delay! Nothin' but problems this week. :P

Jan 13, 2013

Off by a day again, I'm sorry. Really trying to get a schedule going, I swear!

Jan 16, 2013

Yay, this one's on time! :)

Jan 19, 2013

It's always fun travelling back to those old and familiar locations, and generating new ones!

Jan 23, 2013

Let's crack this stronghold open and see if it's got a portal for us! :)

Jan 26, 2013

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.

Jan 30, 2013

A large expenditure and a lot of work, but worth it.

Feb 4, 2013

Fixing old problems all over the place.

Feb 8, 2013

Getting that Nether project started, among other things. :) Busy week, sorry for breaking the schedule again.

May 25, 2013

Goodbye!
