If Minecraft was a Rhythm Game | Sub Urban - Cradles

I spent over 100 hours creating this Minecraft world synchronized to the beat of Cradles by Sub Urban. My goal was to make this the most complex Beat Craft video I've ever made. Trickshots, redstone, parkour, explosions, it's got it all. Surprisingly, I was able to get a full take through the entire map without any mistakes.

A peak behind the scenes:
Sometimes I wonder if I am being inefficient when I put multiple days of work into something that will only be on screen for a few seconds. For example, the text reveal at the beginning seems like it should be simple and straightforward. Just drop some walls of sand to show the lyrics and you're done right? Turns out sand falls too slowly to reveal the words in time as the minecart passes by. Okay, let's rip that out and just use the create mod to flip up some flaps and reveal the words instead. Another problem, the Minecraft render engine doesn't immediately do visual block updates after a certain distance. Some of the words are too far from the minecart. Finally, by the third iteration, I discovered a trick to keep the text large, at a distance, and reveal instantly. While updating block data from a distance isn't immediately visible, updating entity data can be. Using the create mod, I activated cart assemblers before the player exists the nether tunnel at the start. This converts all the text blocking linear chassis into entities off camera. When the player exits the tunnel, I release the minecarts, dropping these massive walls of entities away to reveal the text. Iterations like this are frequent in my design process.

    Those parkour maps got nothin on these.
  • @zanepeterson777
    This one doesn't only include rythms, but syncing with the meaning of the lyrics too
  • @jadeyie
    0:43 that's literally the best bow shot I've ever seen in my entire life. Kudos to you!
  • @jfredd
    This honestly goes to show how creative people can be using the create mod. It's a masterpiece of a mod and more people should start using it to make wonderfully original things like this video right there. Amazing.
  • @deesh6378
    The most impressive part is the fact that this has to be timed PERFECTLY, if they even take a tiny bit too long to do a certain part like the walking bits it'd put the entire song out of sync, tiny mistakes build up to become large failures in situations like this, since every time he even takes 1/10th of a second too long it'd add up to a whole second after 10 of those mistakes. So essentially he has to get everything right down to the milliseconds. I feel like it was attempted many many times.
  • at around 2:50 it actually looks like he was slow jump just like the song. Love your work! Keep it up!
  • @LostWarden
    Can we appreciate how this guy was there to entertain us with no commentary whatsoever? 👋🙂
  • @pradyumnah4201
    The symbolism and imagery in this is mind-blowing, not to mention the skill to navigate to the beat. Kudos, DoodleChaos, you've outdone yourself yet again.
  • @butterdog8143
    Comparing this to your first "If Minecraft was a Rhythm Game" This is too fucking amazing, creativeness just exploded here.
  • @Mosta66
    This is legitimately the best video on the entire platform. AMAZING work DoodleChaos! Keep up the great work!
  • @astronoman008
    Bro this is hands down the best creation I’ve seen in Minecraft.
  • This one is even better than the last ones, somehow. You really managed it to make every beatcraft video feel unique!
  • this is honestly just a display of skill on so many levels by not only creating a level thats that complex and on beat, but also having to actually play it - and you made the extra effort to make it in one take.. damn man.
  • 3:23 I don't know if this is intentional, but you can see his little cursor bobbing left and right to the music, and I just find that extremely cute 😊😊
  • @JonnyDiggit
    Not gonna lie, this has to be my most favorite series on YouTube. Every episode is extremely satisfying and mind blowing to watch. Great job Doodle Chaos!!! ⚡
  • @WeTheSusMusic
    I'm sitting here wondering how many times he had to redo the course due to an accidental redstone error or missing a zombie. Bravo, this is insane.
