Mining the Minecraft Universe: A Quest for a Billion Blocks

00:00Preston: My goal is to mine the entire Minecraft universe, but is that even possible? Honestly, I'm not sure... unless we use the most overpowered custom mining tools. As you can see, we have 0 blocks mined right now. But if I go ahead and mine one right beneath my little toes, we now have 1 blocks mined. So what is my first goal, you may be asking right now? To mine a billion blocks. And to help me with this goal, I've got this secret portal. I'm going in, baby. Remember how I was saying that the only way to accomplish this goal is if we used overpowered custom mining tools? Well, here they are. "Shot-Pick"... "Picka-Touch"... "The Pickachoper".

00:36"Picka-Tank"? I spy with my little eye this door. What are they holding in the back of this shop, ladies and gentlemen? Frickin... There's a "Moon Breaker", "Death Planet Miner", a "Pickaxe Gauntlet"... This is about to be crazy. Right now, we only have 1 block mined, so the only thing we can afford in this store is the "Picka-Fish". First, we need to figure out how this thing works. Pigsley, I choose you. Oh! Wait! I just got a 2 for 1. And then we just hook it back in. Come to Papa! Look at him! He's breaking every block in his way. Oh! He's literally underground. So this means that anything we hook, we can drag. You know what? This block has been looking at me angry for a long time.

01:16Come over here! Alright, let's just pull it towards us! Yeah! Oh! We're already at 56. And if you keep holding it, it will literally mine for you straight down. We have 100. "Picka..." "Picka-Fish"! You can stop now. Alright. We have enough to get to the next item, ladies and gentlemen. And we even have a little bit of blocks to spare. This right here is the "Mine-Trap". "Place down a trap and wait for a mob!" Hold on! Somebody is typing in the game. "Welcome to my shop!" Mr. Picky! Was this here the entire time? I don't remember seeing this. Is that his nose and his eyes? Just be careful there! "Wouldn't want to destroy the world, right?" Yeah. Who would want to destroy the

01:49world? Not me. I would never do something like that. Thankfully, we're not trying to break the world. We're trying to break the universe. But just don't tell Mr. Picky that! Okay. We need 250 blocks mined to get to the next item. So this mine...placed down. Wait for him to step on over... Oh, wait! So when they step on this mine, the pickaxe is like gonna come down on them? If you would just... Hey! Come on! Don't make me use my "Picka-Fish" on you! Pig! Alright, I didn't want to do this. Oh, my God! Holy cow! 218 blocks from that. Wait! No, it's a one time use. No, no...actually, Mr. Picky should have specified that these are one time uses.

02:29Alright, we're gonna put this one down in an open area. We have lots of suspects. And it's a pig. Of course it's a pig. Yeah! 307 blocks mined. No wonder why we died, by the way. This is a crazy explosion. The next item is a "Shot-Pick". And then we need 1000 to get the "Picka-Touch". Alright, so now I think we need to reload first. Reloading. Oh! "Need ammo pickaxes." Well, well, well...I should have thought about that. So I went back to the store. I remember seeing this. Mr. Picky sells pickaxes conveniently, which we can use as ammo. Oh! He sells a whole stack for only 50 blocks? Sir, that is a deal. Mr. Picky, you are beautiful. Okay, now we try reloading.

03:13Oh, my gosh! Wait a second! Wait a second! This is kind of wicked. Look at this! I'm literally loading the pickaxes in. Oh, cow! I'm so sorry, but I pick you. Fire up! Oh! I love how I didn't even hit the cow I was aiming at. I...I killed this cow. Alright, so instead of bullying mobs, I'm gonna bully a village. Look! These guys gave me a bad trade once with their emeralds, so you know what? They had it coming. Aiming a little bit up...and fire! Yes! Okay. We just gotta be careful not to get hit ourselves. Yo! This is nuts. All we need is a thousand blocks. We already have 800. Well, well, well, Mr.

03:54Cartographer... Anything that you have to say for yourself? And fire! Yes! That's what you get for trying to scam me, brother. Alright. Now let's see... "The Picka-Touch"! Yes. I would love to "Picka-Touch". Absolutely. We need 10,000 for the "Picka-Copter". This is what I'm looking for, dude. We got the "Picka-Touch", so please touch that "Like" button! While I'm trying to give a "CTA" about liking the video... Mr. Picky, explain yourself! "You're destroying a little too much. Just be careful!" You're selling pickaxes of mass destruction. Does anybody else find this to be a little bit weird? You're not my mom, Mr. Picky. Although he could be my dad.

04:32Oh! What the...? Is...uh...is that the "Picka-Touch"? Wait a second! That's the "Picka-Touch". Wait! Okay, so we just have to touch blocks, and then literally, they get mined. What if we touch mobs? Does it mine mobs? Come here, Pigsley! Oh! See? Now, this is a useful mob. Yeah. Okay. Okay. You... Now you're showing off a little bit too much right now. You're making me look bad. He...he just gone. We got like what, 300-400 blocks from that? We need 10,000. I need to make like an army of mobs to do my bidding. Help me, brother! Yes! I'm recruiting you all for the "Preston Pickaxe-Touch"! Yeah, yeah. You guys get to work!

05:08Get to work! What are you doing? We got a goal of a billion blocks. It ain't gonna happen if we're sitting around here, just chewing on seeds and grass. Almost to 10,000 blocks. Come on! Come on! And we just... We got to 10,000. Oh, yeah! Give me the "Picka-Copter"! Yeah! I'd just like to let everybody know: I do not have my helicopter license, but this is Minecraft. I'm a professional helicopter pilot. Uh...my cow is moving my "Picka-Copter". Cow! What are you doing? Cow? Would you like to ride shotgun? You can ride shotgun. Oh, I'll let you ride shotgun. Alright. I had to do it. Alright. Oh, we're going down. We're... Mayday! Alright. Like I said, I don't have my...my license.

05:51Dude, even the tail fin is a pickaxe. You know what's hilarious is: like normally, you don't want to hit things. But this thing is designed to be able to run into anything, including the side of a mountain. Excuse me! Coming in. Alright. This is officially the best helicopter in the entire world. Can we pickaxe bedrock? I'm going down, boys. Oh, my gosh! Yo! We already almost have 10,000 blocks. Yo! We're in the void. We're literally in the void. This is so sick. Oh, we're going up. And we're out of fuel. Everybody, what you want to do in this situation is: you just don't panic. So... Mayday! Mayday! We're jumping out. There's no water. There's no water. Abandon!

06:37No! I would like to hold a funeral for the "Picka-Copter". He was a good copter, but he's now...a dead copter. But dude, look at the blocks! Wait! Do we need...? I forgot how many blocks we need for the next item. We might actually have enough. Oh! We do! You know what? I'm doing this for the "Picka-Copter". 3, 2, 1. Give me that... Is it me, or did we...uh... just see the price go from $25,000 to $40,000? Mr. Picky? "You are destroying too much, so I'm going to have to up the prices." You can't do this. "And I will." Oh, my... Okay, now he's just sassy. "And you're breaking my world." Alright, buddy. Now what am I gonna do, bro?

07:15I feel like I'm cheating on my first "Picka-Copter", but I need it. Now I gotta get 40,000 bucks. Nobody tell the first "Picka-Copter"! I remember these things run out of fuel kind of quick, so I'm gonna do it above a village. And I know what you're thinking: "Preston, you're such a generous, nice, kind man". I know. Any moment now, we're running out of fuel. And there we go. So here's the problem: I forgot to bring a water bucket again. Come on! Laying on the hay. Laying on the hay. I deserve that. We have enough blocks now. So you know what? Mission accomplished. I'm not even gonna count down this time. Because I know if I count down, he's gonna raise the prices. Oh! Wow, wow, wow,

07:50wow, wow! Yoink! Give this man no time to raise his prices. "Defeat me to gain blocks!" We can do this. We can do this. We have the "Shot-Pick" and the "Picka-Touch". I think the "Shot-Pick" will be more than enough. Alright, now...listen! We've been kind of...we've been here many, many times. Let's go to some place where we can set the mood! That's right. Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen... 3, 2 and 1. Boom! Oh, the boss is incoming. He's got his own spawn animation. He's about to get wicked. Is he like just coming in? Oh, from the top. Dude, he looks like Master Chief from Halo, but with pickaxes. Take some of this, brother!

08:30Yeah. What do you think about that? Okay. It deals almost no damage. Dude, this is like every video game. When you think you're ready to fight the boss, and then you go to fight the boss, and you are definitely not ready. No! Not even close. Oh, my gosh! We could have also survived that if we had a water bucket. So what have we learned here today? Um... Well... 1. We are not ready to fight the boss just yet. And 2. Bring a water bucket! You don't know how many copters I've had to crash to get back to 50,000 blocks. You don't even want to know. There's literally a helicopter graveyard. Now, the reason why I needed to get to the 50,000 blocks is because I saw this beautiful

09:03thing: the "Mega-Roulette Axe". This is probably gonna help us get a lot more blocks mined. I don't think I want to use it on the boss. This, on the other hand, which we need 100,000 blocks for, could defeat the Mine Boss. "Mega-Roulette Axe". "Which one will you get?" Oh, this is like a "Lucky Block" in the form of a pickaxe. Oh, we're spinning it. And what are we gonna get? "Money Pickaxe". So that's what the green is. Okay, so if we mine, do we get money? Oh, yeah! We do get. So this is good, because we're getting a lot of gems, which we can use to make armor, but we're not getting a whole lot of blocks. But I do see a TNT pickaxe on this "Roulette Mega Pickaxe". So if I could get that...

09:41Please, give me the TNT! Uh...oh! We got the TNT. Now give me a lot of blocks! Oh, yo! Oh, my gosh! Wow! That is a lot of blocks, ladies and gentlemen. There's got to be like, a downside to this pickaxe. We can't just be getting only good things. Rainbow! Dude, dude, dude... Oh, dude! What is this, like...? What did I just get? Oh, wait! "2x Block. Temporarily doubles the blocks you mined for 15 seconds." Alright. Now, what would happen if I just got another 2x Block? You know, just for safekeeping. Let's get the TNT on the roulette again, and then we use the block multiplier. Yes! Perfect. Okay, remember: we only get to use this one time. So let's go ahead and pop this 2x Block!

10:23We only have 30 seconds to use this. Let's go quick! And then we run away. This should get us up to hopefully 100,000. Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! 125,000. One more. One more spin, and then I'm done. I promise. Then we'll go by the "Picka-Tank". Oh! "Death Pickaxe". It says: "Death", but think about it! We've died multiple times this video, and we haven't lost our blocks. So really, there's nothing to lose. Plus, I know if I didn't test this out, everybody'd be like: <i>(Impersonating:)</i> "Preston, Why didn't you try it?". Preston: So this is for everybody right now. You're welcome. Oh! Literally nothing, except for the fact that I'm covered in... Why am I covered in this...?

11:01I was like covered in something. What the heck? Okay, I'm losing hearts every time I mine. Am I...? I look like I'm breaking. Ah! So I respawned. And...where are my arms? They're gone. What? Wait! I can't mine blocks. Can I at least hold things? Oh, no! Okay, so I cannot hold anything. But I can hold the "Picka-Touch". Could this replace my arms? Oh, yes! I've got one arm, ladies and gentlemen. The "Picka-Touch". All hope is not lost. Time to acquire the "Picka-Tank".

11:41What is it this time, huh? You're here to raise prices again? "What is your goal? This is getting out of hand." You know what my goal is. "My goal is to mine the universe. Starting with getting a billion blocks." I literally have said it like multiple times in the video. Picky, do you not pay attention, huh? "Yeah. That's not happening, buddy. I live here." Mr. Picky! You do not want to "picka-fight" with me. Okay? I'm gonna step through that portal, and you're not gonna do anything about it. Do you understand me? Now... See, I'm not gonna feel bad if I test this out on a mansion. I've done enough destruction to the Villagers recently. "Picka-Tank",

12:12come here! Alright, so we get inside of here. We can see that we have 0 ammo. Oh, pick! Would you like to volunteer as tribute? Oh, no! You just run them over, and they turn into... Oh, the screams! I'm gonna go right through that window. Aim! Shot fire! Oh, yes! Dang! Dude, we got like 11,000 blocks from that, too. Come on! Alright, so whenever you aim this thing, it like goes up and down. Has like a little bit of an arc or a curve. So we need to make sure that we get the practice right now, before we go back to the Mine Boss. Oh, yeah! Yeah! Like look at that! Okay. It drop off a lot. So here's what I'm thinking. Now that we know how to use this, we load up on ammo, and then

12:54we take this to the Mine Boss. We get that sweet, sweet revenge. We made it back to the Mine Boss, and he's still damaged from earlier. Alright. We cannot miss the shots. We have 14. Here we go. Aim and fire! Yes! Okay. Direct impact. Direct impact. Oh! This is... Oh! He's still... He's cooked. He literally cooked. What are you gonna do, buddy? What you gonna do? Can't do nothing against this. Any last words, Mine Boss? You could give up right now. No? Hey! Okay. He's doing too much damage.

13:26Goodbye, sir! Is he falling? What were you falling for? Don't fall forward! Dude, he almost crushed us. Okay, okay, okay. I did not realize that the Mine Boss was going to give us blocks. Gave us like 100,000. I can't remember how many blocks we needed for the next item. Oh! It's 100,000. It's literally a tree that's an axe. Is this gonna be really helpful? What are you doing? Oh, Mr. Picky's on the move. "I've had enough. I'm taking this and leaving the planet." What do you mean you're taking? Taking what, Mr. Picky? Mr. Picky? Don't go that way! No. That's where all the good things are. Mr... No! No, no, Mr. Picky! Anything but that. "Do not follow me!" I will find Mr.

14:09Picky, and I will get that "Gauntlet" back. But first... let's focus on the "Tree-Pickaxe", which says: "Mine to plant in the ground! Only grows during the day". Well, well, well... We're probably not gonna want to plant it here on stone. Let's plant it over here in the dirt! Oh, look at it! It's...it's...oh! Oh! It's...it's growing...quite fast, I might add. And it is... Oh! It is spitting out pickaxes. This is the tree of pickaxe. I mean, this is crazy. Why... Wait! This... I have a million blocks. Oh, no! The tree is gone. My tree is gone. I should have bought this instead of the tank. It was literally the same price. Oh! Well well, well... You know what we could do?

14:52We could just go buy way more of the "Tree-Pickaxe". Alright, let's see! I can literally get 19 of these bad boys. Oh, my goodness gracious! Charge it up, brother! Alright, so remember: the "Tree-Pickaxes" only grow during daytime. It's nighttime right now. We have 19 of them that we can plant. And then once it's daytime, we use the 2x Block, and we just make probably like, I don't know...100 million blocks. Now remember: the 2x Block only lasts 30 seconds. So we have to time this absolutely perfectly. And by "time it", I mean... um...we...little "time set day", and then we pop the block ASAP, right before they finished growing. Oh, that cow is about to have a bad day.

15:30They... Grow, my pretties! Yes! Go forth and multiply! Ah! I don't think this is what God was talking about in the book of Genesis, but do it anyways. Dude! We have 24 million blocks. For the first time, we are not buying anything in the front of the store. We're going to the back of the store, dude. Now it gets really crazy. I mean, how can you not get crazy with something that's a spaceship with a pickaxe on it, otherwise known as the "Moon Breaker"? Now we have landed a man on the moon. But we have not landed a pickaxe on the moon. And today I will be making history. You know, I'm pretty sure to become an astronaut, you have to do like a lot of

16:11training. It's a pretty... uh...serious job, and I have literally none. In fact, I'm missing an arm. I don't think...I don't know if you could be an astronaut with only one arm, because you might need the second one. We're in space. And there's the moon. Is there a house on the moon? Wait a second! Wait a second! You don't think Mr. Picky lives there? Is this guy literally so wealthy that he has a house on the moon? If this is his house, man, I'm about to literally destroy this thing. Okay, now the question is: "How do I land this thing?". Um... Left click? No. Right click? Oh, I'm hearing something. Oh, yeah!

16:49I literally just destroyed the moon and whoever's house this was, without even knowing if it was Mr. Picky's. But it has a giant pickaxe on the house. That's gotta be Mr. Picky's. "You thought it would be that easy?" He's talking smack to me after I just wrecked his house? "I moved to another planet. XD" Says he moved to another planet. Doesn't even realize the moon's not a planet. This guy is smooth brain. Now, I don't remember exactly how many blocks we needed for the next item. We might have enough. Tell me we got enough! Tell me we got enough! Yes, we do. Yes, we do. 300 million. Okay, Star Wars fans... Please tell me: Is this not epic? Lord Vader, I serve only thee.

17:26I have no idea what's going to happen whenever we use this. I don't know if I can like lock onto a planet to destroy it. Uh... "Death Planet Miner added to space." So it's in space somewhere. I don't know if you guys know this... <i>(Echoes:)</i> ...space is pretty big. Preston: And I'm not seeing it anywhere. I knew I should have put an air tag on it. Oh! This has gotta be it. Look at this! Look at this! They even have a parking garage for me. Oh, yes, sir! Look at me! Boom! Parallel parked. This thing is way more massive than I ever could have expected or even imagined. Oh! Oh, good. These are the different planets that we could choose to destroy. Now, can I just test this?

18:03I mean, surely it can fire more than once. Saturn, we don't need you. You're basically a giant planet full of gas. "Planet Saturn has been selected. Beginning countdown." Oh, yo! Oh, yo! Oh, shoot! Oh, shoot! Oh! "The target has been locked. Preparing to fire." Goodbye, Saturn, you giant gas planet! See ya! Charge up, brother! Charge up! Get wicked with it! Oh, it shoot a giant pickaxe. Go, baby! Go! Oh, dude! I've seen some pretty cool things in Minecraft. And this might be the coolest thing I have ever witnessed in my entire life. And we got 300 million blocks. Might as well blow up the Earth, too. Huh? Ah, look at it! This is where we were born.

18:47You know what? I see so many planets that I don't like. And by planets, I mean I see Europe. Goodbye, Europe! I'm sorry, guys! Listen! Europeans, I love you. I'm just sometimes a little bit tired...of... you know...how beautiful your country looks, compared to mine. So goodbye! At some point in time, we gotta find out where Mr. Picky is. Please tell me...he has to be on Mars. He has to be on Mars. And if he's not... Well...I need a new "Death Planet Miner", because this thing doesn't have any other planets left. Oh! Well, well, well... What have we found here, ladies and gentlemen? Is that Mr. Picky's house on Mars? "Please! Have mercy! I will give you the Gauntlet."

19:28Tempting offer. But think about it! Do we even trust Mr. Picky to give it to us? Look at him! He's trying to bait me. He's trying to bait... No, I can't do it. I'm sorry, Mr. Picky! I'm sorry! There's no deal happening right now. I can't cancel it. Once it starts, it cannot be canceled, Mr. Picky. This is what you deserve. You sold weapons of mass mining destruction, and then got upset and then ran away like a little child. Goodbye! Sayonara!

19:59Haha! Now see...that...that was satisfying. Wait a second! The Gauntlet survived, and so did some of the other items in his house, which means we can actually still get the Gauntlet. We can just fly there. This is... Dude, this thing is crazy. This is what we would have had to spend a billion blocks on. But we got it for free. "Hold left click to mine the universe!" It's like the "Thanos snap". Alright, universe...it's been good knowing you. You've been kind to me, but your time has come to be mined. Oh, wait! What just happened? Um... Is this what heaven looks like? Oh, no! It can't be heaven, because Mr. Picky's here. Mr. Picky...where are we? Hey! "You and me, Preston...

20:43Forever..." No! No! This has got to be some kind of mistake. No! No! Please help me! Help me! Please, please! Okay. Mining this universe. No! Please! No! No! Guys, click either one of these videos, so I can please get away from Mr. Picky. Eventually, I gotta get to a new universe. Right? Right? Ah!
