I Forced 300 Minecraft Players to Dig A Massive Hole

Hi! Welcome to the most ambitious stream of my career. This is the Dig Hole stream. Welcome to Dig Hole Mountain. This is your target today. Everything here is to be dug, all the way down to bedrock. And it's gonna be on survival mode as well, because we have to work for the hole. There is a day-night cycle on. If it gets dark, monsters will spawn. I'm gonna, I'm gonna give you a chance at the moment and just set it to day. Just so you don't log on and it's already under attack.

You may notice that everyone also has stats for the amount of blocks you've mined. That's important. We're gonna see who's the best at digging hole as this stream goes on. How many blocks was it we worked out? I think it was 15 million.

This is more hole

than you could ever possibly need. I just get started. Look, you can see the counter goes up. Whatever way you want to dig this hole, that's up to you. My suggestion, if I was to make a suggestion, you might want to get the mountain out of the way first. If you want better tools than wood, the resources you need are in the mountain. Everything you need is here. Guys, you don't need this many fucking crap. There is another fun extra as well. Wow, you may notice, like, wow, there's a beautiful, like, woodland mansion and

this type of tree I've not even seen before, I'm gonna be honest. This plot is taken from the survival server. The progress that we make will be transferred to the survival server. If we complete this hole, this hole will be added to the survival server so people can play and then build whatever they like. I appreciate the feed sign as well, but that is going to be destroyed the server is struggling already already broken it's been five minutes well it was a good effort lads what what happened to this free apparently don't be free okay I'm gonna just set him down gently

Be free feed nighttime is coming gang But don't worry because this will just spawn creepers and creepers might help you dig the hole So if anything, this is a positive Just be careful don't forget the trees need to go too. You wanna work on just like chopping down trees

and getting their leaves fallen. Like you could help out. You're destroying their resources. Look, one or two trees ain't gonna make a difference, okay? The Lorax is only gonna get pissed if all of this goes. Actually, that's a good question.

Is fire spread on the server, but I'm just trying to lend like a helping hand Okay, like I see all this excess blocks just everywhere And we got we got to help people out today like every single little fire that started here This is gonna get rid of some extra blocks like that could be like 20 blocks. Just delete it there just from one click Hey, how you doing? I'll give you a helping hand. Why is there a warden? What do you mean there's a warden?

Why have people found a warden already? It's been like 10 minutes. Oh my god! What? Okay, I'm gonna be honest, this is gonna cause problems. We're only like 10 minutes in. We're not far along

What is this?

Oh my god, there's a fucking trial chamber

Okay

This has to be deleted as well. Just keep digging. Don't worry about the warden. Don't dig too far down Said there are about 60 million blocks and 225 players. Doing some rough calculations, each player would need to break 71,000 blocks. Yous are already doing great though! You're on like over... Some of yous are over 2,000 blocks already!

The counter!

You know what? I'm gonna lend a helping hand on the build site, let me tell you. Cause you know, it's not easy work and I need to put my best foot forward as well. Hey guys, yeah, it's tough work. Yeah, I think I'm gonna take a minute to rest now. You guys got it from here, yeah? Yeah, I'm whole gaming with my whole friend.

That's what we want though!

This is what, like, this is literally what people have requested for so long. The most viewed video on my channel in its entire history, and you can go check this, is us just digging a hole. It got 14 million views. I don't know why, and I'll be honest, I really debate it just not uploading that video. And yet it is one of the most beloved pieces of media now we've ever made on this channel. That's 2 million views less than the hole we need

to dig. Oh, do we have like a beacon effect by the way. You have haste. I think people are getting power up. Oh apparently the haste power up is unique to me because I'm special according to Jim. Wow, thanks Jim. Just look at me. Wow. Look how fast I'm digging.

Somehow I think it's like weirdly slower. Yes it is fucking machine gun fire let's go I'm coming for the blocks mind count trap you can't beat me I'm digging down into the fucking orbit I took too fast I took too fast good job reverse Icarus oh. I dug too fast. Good job reverse Icarus. Oh fuck, I got it! I gotta be careful. I gotta be careful. Okay. I probably got like a couple hundred blocks just from that, okay?

I dug too-

It's still 16 and a half million.

Look, we can make this like multiple streams. If needs be. We are committed to the whole- the fucking crafting table spi- No, you're just adding more blocks! We need to delete that as well! It's gotta go!

You're adding more blocks!

I'm sorry! No, not the tower. This is a dig site! This is a dig site! This is a- This is a dig site! This is a dig site! This is a dig site! This is a dig site!

This is a dig site! Give me TNT.

You touch... You cheeky bugger. I'm gonna send you...

To the bottom of the world. I'm gonna send you Please are giant zombie I

Need people to get the message Jim Can you set y equals 187 the entire layer across the dig site the TNT right now? I need to send a message. Okay, I think it might...

Oh, good God.

All right, chat, I'm gonna give you the help in hand.

I'm gonna...

Get ready.

Get ready. Oh

Thank God the supplies were not the guy look at that look how much

Yo, we got our first slice on the land! Look at this! Look at this!

That's what we want to see! Wait, let me just time set day.

It's so dark!

Okay, this will help though.

This will help with the effort.

Oh, thank you for the update account. This will help though. This will help with the effort. Oh, thank you for the update account. That didn't even make it 10.

That didn't even make it 10. Okay, uh, while that's underway, um... Let's see how everyone is getting on... ...deeper into the hole. It's getting a bit loud up there. I assume the warden has been dealt with at this point. Someone set up a big base. No, I can hear another warden. Problem is, it's so hard

to track anything, because everything is just being dug all the time. Here's a party that is very deep down and brave in the trial chamber. It's just monster noise. Look, you can see where people have cut into the mountain. This hole is really good for showing it. How deep is this hole? This guy's been hard at work. How's it going?

My god, look at this! That's a big hole. That's a big hole. How's it going? People could just try and build this out. Have this corner just be engulfed

Okay

I see we have a new problem. The sky is just on fire. RT let us feed the workers so they can be productive Is there food here? I don't want to starve. I hope RT doesn't find us. We have seeds left. A well-fed workforce is a productive look I'll allow it I'll allow it okay yeah you're absolutely right yeah you're gonna need food for the journey hey how's it going at lumps stand back a moment today's your lucky day okay fire in the hole

Does the Taureus know that

There we go, good job That could have been any TNT explosion on the server that killed them. Okay, you can't prove it's me Okay, I mean that's gonna help dig the hole If anything if you can make sure the dodge is projectiles We want we ought to make sure that like it hits the blocks. It gets the low HP it gets through blocks quicker Oh wait, does it get does it get like frenzied when it's low? If we hurt the widder we can have it dig faster.

This is insanely impactful. Look at this cut!

Gang, here's but hard at work. This is what we want the world to look like. Even trying to use the- Oh, no, maybe you should use the creeper. I don't want it to blow up. I- I got it gang.

Oh.

Wait, I owe you an explosion. There you go.

I didn't kill anyone.

What I want to do eventually is once we get a good enough indent on the land, I want to make like a nice red border. Similar to how we had it in the original hull, but we'll have it span the entire length of

it.

It'll look really nice. It's um... It's just gonna take a while till we get there. Wait, the mansion is on fire? How did the mansion catch on fire? How does that even happen?

How does that even happen?

Someone built a dispenser and launched a fire charge. Why the fuck would you do that? Why the fuck would you do that? Why the fuck would you do that? Guys, that's gonna be your mansion on the survival server. You get to keep that. But now it's caught on fire.

It adds lore. We're gonna look at the forest beyond the border soon. It's gonna be fucking a place. Oh my god, would you- look at that! 16 million has been surpassed! That's a milestone!

Okay, we gotta give him food. We gotta give him food, that's a reward. Okay, I have a new proposal, okay? What if we set Y equals 60 to just a layer of TNT? No, that will delete the farms. We probably shouldn't do that.

We should, that would kill everyone. Leave us alone. Place all dirt with air. Can we replace the dirt with, all the dirt with just like cake or something for a moment? Then everyone can get a meal in. That's the reward for hitting 16 million.

All the farms will die.

Pick em up quick! Oh no.

Let them eat cake. Oh it didn't get rid of the grass! So the farms should be okay.

The farms should be okay. It should-

It's suddenly just like fucking cake in the farm. Listen, if you want an easy way of mining some blocks if your tools have run out, okay, you can be the strongest soldier right now and eat 264,000 half-cakes. Can we convert all remaining grass blocks to maybe wooden logs? That would then help people get all the sticks they need. That one's fucking changing color. We need dirt. What do you mean you need dirt?

You got- you got loads of dirt. Now you got cake. that's way more useful What why are these here? Oh? No, my name fatigue

Okay, all right

I want to actually help everyone out turn all the cake to air and set all the logs on fire Is that possible you wanna we want to make some headway? I'm gonna help get things started it's like oh no everyone's having a lot of trouble with food what if we just make it all melons what can we make melon what block I don't want to say stone because that's gonna get messy real quick we make

gravel net balance place all the. That gives you like a lot of nice food deposits. This has now spawned 233,000 melons on the surface. That just didn't work. Does anyone see melons? Why is there a rage? Look the rage isn't that bad. There's barely any of them. They're just set up here for some reason

Oh my god, look the melons went through Look at that

There's melons everywhere. They want I'm so excited to take today to a little hungry I'm sure I'll find food day three. The sky is TNT day for the warden is everywhere. Hey Haven't seen the Sun in so long guys. We have 15 minutes to make this hole as impressive as humanly possible. What else can we do? I'm sorry, but everything you do is making it worse and harder I'm trying to help what happens if we just spawn like 20 winners with that crash the server If I just start like like wither egg would that help no

those are those are wither skeletons okay I'll just get some creepers out into the world these will help these will I'm so sorry thank you perfect here's the withers yeah these will help now if you kite these lads

they can destroy the mountain faster

Look they're helping Look at how much progress we're making Val save your dog quick. The winners aren't gonna help. We just kill them. It's just not explosive enough They're just killing people.

Oh neat. You can make a beacon. Okay, I'm gonna say for 10 minutes, give everyone haste 5. 10 minutes. Everyone can machine gun. I think it slowed everyone down. I think it slowed everyone down. I think it's slowed everyone down This has had the opposite effect. Okay gang. I'm here to help. I'm gonna make the leaderboard

How long has this guy oh, this is how whole progress is at the moment it looks so bad oh you want to know why i'm stressing chat i've invited lewis brindley from the yogscast to check on our hole in a minute actual diggy diggy hole guy. And he's gonna be fucking pissed. Cause I said we'd be way further along. Okay, if I just say this is the hole. Guys, help me out here, okay? This is the hole. And I'm not gonna turn around. He doesn't need to know how big it's supposed to be.

Uh, hello?

How you doing?

Uh, oh my game just crashed.

Can you hear me?

I gotta give you a second, it's completely gone. What am I doing here, why are you calling me? You said you needed a whole consultant.

I do need a whole consultant, yeah. And you're the man for the job. Like we have been tirelessly at work for two hours, and look how far we've come.

ALICE Wow.

ZACH Can you see the hole?

ALICE How many of you have done this?

ZACH Um, three hundred. We've also been hard at work trying to, like, tap away at the mountain. ALICE What is that? ZACH Um, so we-

ALICE What am I looking at? This is not a hole, Dan. This is a mountain.

JUSTINA Yeah, we were hoping the hole would be a bit further along!

ALICE It's like the opposite of a hole. I can see the scoreboard over on the right, that is some impressive stuff from some of

you. JUSTINA Yeah, people have been hard at work. We started with sixteen and a half million blocks. ALICE Good lord. blocks. And now we only have 15,362,000 blocks left to go.

LIAM So, right.

ALICE It took two hours. LIAM And chasing down those last ones is gonna be

tricky, I'm sure.

ALICE If we maintain this progress, we might be finished in thirty hours.

LIAM Yeah, well, um, how much have you helped yourself? ALICE I've done like 40,000 blocks. The blocks Yeah, well, um, how much have you helped yourself?

I've done like 40,000 blocks. The blocks mine keeps glitching out. I've actually done a lot of heavy lifting, yeah. There was another mountain there, that's gone, that's all me.

Oh.

Oh.

No, ignore that, ignore that!

If you hadn't been here, how much would they have got done?

Probably more, because most of my attempts have actually lagged the server and crashed

it.

Yeah.

Um, I...

Probably more.

God bless you.

God bless you.

Would you say we have diggy-diggied a good hole?

I know that's something you look for. Oh, I mean, a hole is never dug, is it really, Dan? I don't want to get philosophical on you, but it's like, how long is a piece of string? You know, how deep is a hole? That's what they should say. How deep do you have to dig for a hole to be done? I mean, in your case, obviously 15 million blocks, but imagine that's not there.

We do have a benchmark in mind, you know. Currently all the gravel is melon, so as your mining through the world, you'll just hit upon melon deposits.

Okay.

Just everywhere.

That is a joy. You can do more than that turn all

torches into creepers you know actually yeah Jim I don't suppose you can enact that one though is that is that your request that's all torches creepers I don't know if that's even possible Jim can you turn all players into lit TNT? Jim, I don't know what your powers are. People are deleting the torches.

People are deleting...

Preemptively deleting them.

They're plunging themselves into darkness.

Oh, he spawned TNT everywhere.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I'd love to see it.

That sounds very laggy, doesn't it? Spawning that amount of TNT at exactly the same time. It's just laggy enough so the players can't escape. Oh, that is brutal.

They've nicknamed it affectionately the feed hole, um, out of the crafting tables.

Feed hole?

Yeah. Feed ho- that doesn't look like an F.

Um, it got blown up. Oh, the server's dead.

Oh, oh no.

Well, this is a lot of fun. I-I love what you're doing here. Thank you. This is honestly brilliant. Thank you.

Thank you for showing me your hole, Dan. No, anytime. Anytime. You call me. only fans. Oh the lines breaking up Lewis I gotta go! Bye bye! Love you. Love you too. I think he was like surprisingly impressed. No he wasn't! I honestly thought we'd be like halfway. At this point I thought we'd be like halfway. Here's the mountain now, and then if you give me one second...

That's what we've done so far. We've done nothing. This is climate change. Okay, I know this caused issues before, but what if we just set Y to be TNT again and blew up a lair? Would that help? Oh, wait. Wait, I don't think that's quite right!

I don't think-

Hang on guys, I'll freeze. If I can get there, I'll light it on fire. If I can get there... I can't get there... Okay, we've found a way to restore it I'm sensing a slight problem. Oh my far outside the border a TNT is from.

Cause that can't be good.

Look at that!

Look how big the hole is now! Hey, how's it going? Oh, too far! Hang on! Everyone's done this at least once in Minecraft. Okay, gang, you ready?

Oh. Wait, there we go!

Look at that, it's just a clean pat down.

Oh.

Did they get rid of the TNT for the rest of the way? They got rid of it. Not let it out, beware the beast that slumbers here. They've imprisoned him. They've imprisoned him.

They've imprisoned him.

I'm gonna give you a monkey's paw, right? Because I feel like everyone's asking for anvils. Uh, Jim, can we make Y108 anvils? But also make Y109 TNT. And I'm not gonna

touch the TNT! It's in your hands. It's in your hands. I'm not going to touch it TNT blew up my no block build. Hein what the fuck are you doing building a no block build? This isn't the place this is a construction site what the fuck are you doing? Here's your anvils look grab a few anvils quick Grab all the anvils you need!

Someone has set off the TNT!

Like it actually wasn't me! It wasn't me! Hey we're under 14 million! Maybe this is why the server's lagging. Oh but look at this slice though! This is looking so good! This is what all the work is for. This is just so good. This is what all the work is for. This is just so satisfying. 1000 degree hot knife has visited our world and simply taken a slice.

Like at this point, part of me is tempted to just blow up this top side of the mountain. We just set everything above Y110, the TNT. Make all of this TNT, we blow the mountain top.

Oh no. oh no.

Oh, oh, oh.

Okay, no one set it off. It'll be alright.

No one.

Just, oh, we're already fucked. I'm going to be surprised if we can see it. Oh, oh. be surprised if we can see it. The server is going through it today. I can't get down from spawn. Oh it hasn't spread there yet.

It's fine.

Oh okay.

No. No it has.

It has.

This is gonna get really bad. This is gonna get...

Do you think this guy has noticed even the water in spawn is

I don't think spawn is supposed to be like Oh it's gone Okay, we might have trouble with spawn a moment Jim just lock down the server a minute

We gotta wait till this results yeah don't think this is gonna hold that guys I think I may have gone too far with the TNT I think I might I'm really I really might have overdone it this time. Guys, I helped! I helped! I don't recognize anything. This was always the goal! This was always the goal!

It's almost there!

Why is this area just keep fucking exploding? Guys! It's over. Look at that, it's only 10,900,000 blocks left. What just happened? I just noticed in the chat, everything seems fine for me. I did a whoops.

Says Jim.

I don't know what just happened. I'm sure it'll be fine. Okay, I see the problem. Now it's been a while. I wonder how I can help everyone by turning at least 300 layers of blocks in the TNT. Gee golly, that would sure be helpful. I can see the panic. No, no, no!

I can still use a little TNT to blow up some of the worlds. I could use a, just, just a reasonable amount. A reasonable amount. No, no, no! Ender Dragon would be funny. Do you really want an Ender Dragon?

Oh, but it would be kind of funny. The decision has already been made for me. I didn't know, I didn't call that.

I didn't call...

Oh, we're below 10 million!

We broke 10 million! My God. I don't think there's any way you've finished the whole while I'm off stream. I don't think there's any. I would be amazed I'm not cuz I'm not gonna be able to stream this again probably till Thursday there's no fucking way is that a challenge what is

the bet what is the bet if the whole is actually done somehow by Thursday Why? Jack Black cosplay stream would be so sad.

It'd be so sad.

It's just me with a fucking blue shirt and like a fake beard. If this is somehow done by Thursday, I need to get my Jack Black cosplay together. Why is there a ravager? Why is there a ravager?

Summon many ravagers to top friends!

Why?

Oh fuck!

Okay, you got till Thursday. You've got till Thursday.

Good fucking luck

Good morning everyone it is the morning after we started digging a big hole things have gotten Significantly further they got a zombie villager All this in the hall? It's literally like the morning after. I can't believe everyone has done this much literally overnight just to dig this hole. God I'm gonna have to look at buying a Jack Black wig and beard.

Gotta practice my skidoosh in time for the stream I think. Fucking hell gang. Good afternoon everyone. We have some important news. We are live early today with an update that we have to show. Folks we're now under one million blocks left. It's about 700,000 blocks to go.

About 100,000 of that is simply the bedrock at the bottom. That can't be mined. So we're actually about 600k off. You may also notice the edge of the world has now been restored and you could just like look into like a slice of the earth. Let's just look at this.

This is insane.

Shout out to what has been dubbed the avocado. We have a perfectly sliced geode. It's very pretty. My God, it looks so unreal.

Holy shit.

That's insane. That's insane. Like just look how it's been sliced! I'm gonna come back in a couple of weeks time to check on the hull. You're gonna have a few weeks to build and establish a society in this hull. And this is going to be completely off stream. And there will be a hull tour.

In three weeks, I'm gonna tour your whole. Everything needs to go. So start with the blocks down here, and then start the great dismantling. Spawn needs to be gone. These guys just hanging out. I'm sure these are fine.

Oh, wait, what are you doing?

Oh, you're trying to get him down.

You're trying to like, bat him're trying to like bat him with a broom Okay, look at this though. This this is what we want That's a nice hole the fucking wandering trader like pop in this is the lamb a wanderer Stairs are being removed again with the losing people This hole it was made for me! I love like the fucking like trade chat advert.

Hey, don't you spare moss? Send it to the moss gang. Now located at Center Beacon. The new bone meal factory is in dire need of moss. We're at the Center Beacon. Want to buy?

Copper bar. Will pay better than auction house price Whisper for more info. Holy shit spawn is gone. Oh my god. When the fuck did that happen? There's there's still people up here Fine do you need a helping hand. Do you need a helping hand? Don't worry, you don't have to say anything.

I think they made it.

I think they made it.

Yeah, so this is something ridiculous that happened. People found zombie villagers in the hole, and also golden golden apples and were able to purify them So there is like an entire encampment of villagers here For resource needs like so much work has gone into this the server voice chat for digging hole has been going for over 24 hours There's some people reporting to have been up 21 hours digging

Someone canceled their violin lesson to take. Teacher, I can't make it today. I can't make it today. I've got to dig the hole.

I've got to dig the hole.

What the fuck do you call this?

Gotta go.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. The hole is contaminated! Excuse me! Someone set up like a little campfire.

As long as they delete it.

Come to the end, it's okay.

The rest corner.

It is remarkable just how much progress was made offline, by the way. If you factor in the fact that it's like 16 and a half million blocks, I did a massive

TNT explosion that you could 16 and a half million blocks, I did a massive TNT explosion that you could argue was about 2 million blocks. It's still 14 and a half million blocks that have been mined since Tuesday. Cause of a certain streamer fucking people digging. Listen, you gotta keep it exciting. You know, I should be topping the leaderboard when you think about it. It waswo million TNT blocks, that was all me. That was all me. I deleted a mountain. 5,930 blocks to clean up. Oh, this is going quick over here. Who will

get the final block? 2,500 more! Look at that, it's, it's like dissolving. It's just dissolving before our eyes. Everyone is going for it. I must break the block. No, I must break the block.

We don't know.

65! This is the weirdest New Year's countdown I've ever seen.

Apparently there are 48 vines Where are the vines?

Alright chat, I got this one

No!

This was so close

Wait I got one This was so close! Wait, what's that? I got one! The skulk has been neutralized. Dear God, the hole has been dug 16 and a half million blocks! These are our builders You did it gang

You did it and now let me be the first to declare this hole open I officially decree this hole is and you delete the fucking side. I officially decree this hole is open. Just look at it. Our most ambitious stream yet dug a hole in Minecraft. Dig hole has been accomplished.

Thank you so much everyone for taking part in the haul build. We will be transferring this haul to our Minecraft survival server where you'll be able to build to your heart's content. to your heart's content. And in three weeks time, I'm gonna be back to check out what you got up in the haul.
