I UPGRADED WEAK LEGO Minecraft Mobs

A normal lego minecraft skeleton is super weak. So today I'm challenging myself to heavily upgrade it alongside four other newbie and weak minecraft mobs. Oops. Okay so every minecraft mob has a weak spot and step one is to find the weakness and erase it Step 2 is to test how strong our freshly upgraded mob has become. Let's start with the skeleton. by upgrading the mob. Its weakness is that it only deals a poor 1-2 hearts of damage per shot. And once you craft a shield, it's super easy to block the arrows and kill the skeleton. So I say we erase this weakness by turning the skeleton into a super deadly sniper. And the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about snipers is scopes. It allows snipers to precisely hit targets. But since the skeleton is using a bow, there is no scope, so the right eye has to become a scope. And what better way to create one than to take a bit of fimo and smack it on top of the right eye. I'll even add a hole to which we now can attach a rangefinder. And putz, batz, badaboomz! I just put the head into the oven so the putty can dry. In the meantime, we can upgrade the body. And what else is typical for a sniper? Right, their insane ability to hide! So our skeleton needs a fancy cloak. First, I'll use the one from a basic Mandalorian and then add another one from the most famous Mandalorian, Boba Fett. And to match them in color, I'll paint the two cloaks in dark gray. To even further upgrade They tell of the countless missions the skeleton survived. the cloaks, I'll add a few rectangular cuts Boba Fett's cape, though, I will decorate with a red Minecraft-style crosshair. This one, of course, is a reference to the skeleton being a sniper. to the long cape. To round it off, I'll also retrace the edge in black. And the two capes are finished. And since the skeleton shoots arrows, I might as well add a quiver, but I only own LEGO quivers in brown, so I'll change the color by painting it black, and then retrace the strings with red color to highlight that deadliness of our sniper. To go along with the black quiver, I'll also cover the bow in black. We'll get to the bow's abilities later, but now let's finish the head. As a base color, I'll use the same dark gray that I used for the capes. And whilst this part is drying, let me paint the other eye in light gray. And now that the gray dried, I'll paint the exact same crosshair I already painted onto the cloak onto the techno thingy. The final step is to take all the finished parts and put the puzzle back together. Now I'm going to attach the rangefinder and our skeleton sniper is completed. I'll name the new mob Spectre because of its spectral vision. It can spot players even through blocks. You only have to lower the rangefinder and the target immediately gets highlighted. Oh come on! And once the spectre shoots its first arrow, it toggles the cloak ability. This means the skeleton becomes invisible for 20 seconds. This makes it extremely hard to pinpoint our sniper. On top of that, the cloak is enchanted with projectile protection 4. This makes it almost impossible to snipe the sniper. The only real option is to switch weapons, get close and defeat the skeleton with a sword. But also that is quite the challenge, because the bow shoots arrows that penetrate a shield and deal double the damage of normal shots. But if you ever manage to kill the skeleton, you can get unique mob drops. One of them is the spectre bow of course. Another item is the phantom cloak. It gives you the ability to become invisible for 20 seconds. Where am I? And with the rangefinder lens you can temporarily spot hostile mobs even through blocks. Yo! This is so cool! Now that we successfully tested the first boss-like mob, we can upgrade the next mob. A villager. A villager seems extremely powerful, because you can get pretty strong items by trading with emeralds. So, what's his weakness? We'll be right back after this. . Yes, he can't fight. . I mean, sure he can conjure an iron golem and use him as a shield, . . . . but that is chicken behavior and not where I am going. . . . . I want a villager that can fight back. . . And not like this. . Peace. . . So our villager needs movable arms and legs. . . . . . . And because I want the villager to become a strong samurai, . . . I'll take the villager's head and mold him a typical samurai headband. . . . And here's a pro tip. If you shape your putty before you attach it to the head, the task becomes super simple. And every bandana also has two iconic stripes of fabric hanging down. So I'll also add those. And let's put the head into the oven. Just never above 80 degrees Celsius, otherwise the LEGO melts. In the meantime I'll cut a metal paper to form two rectangles. Those I'll superglue to the body as shoulder plates. And because superglue dries super fast we can immediately start painting. First I'll paint the basic layout with black. Because now it's much easier to cover all the sections in the correct color. Be it gold or even gray. The shoulder plates I'll first cover in white and only then paint it in gold. Because my gold color has this annoying side effect that it doesn't hold very well. The legs I'll only slightly upgrade by painting two knee protectors and black boots. I mean they're going to be covered by the armor anyways. That one I'll upgrade by painting it all red except a small rim at the edge. That one I'll first cover in white and then paint over it in green. in gold. Nevertheless, the base is completed. So let's finish the head. I'll attach it to a LEGO stick and then cover the headband in red. Step two is to repaint the eyes. The left one is going to be completely white because it has a secret ability. Unfortunately, this eye draws a lot of energy. That's why I'll paint the left side of the face dark gray. This replicates severe effects of decay. And the samurai is completed. But a samurai is no samurai without his swords. I mean, normal Minecraft swords look cool. And they are powerful. But you gotta admit that 3D printed swords are way cooler. They are a little smaller and will allow for even faster actions. To paint them, I'll attach them to a Lego construction and then cover the blades in white before turning them into solid gold. The hilt will be brown because it's made out of leather. And now that we finished all the sections, we can put the second minifigure back together. I'll call the new mob Ayasu Ai because of his special eye. Rather than just being hit, an Ayasu can foresee enemy attacks and launch a deadly counterattack. The second part of Ayasu gives the name a samurai touch. And this is justified, because an Ayasu is an even better sword fighter than Zoro from One Piece, who fights with three katanas. Easy win. Anyways, we've upgraded and tested two minifigures. So let us transform the next mob. A piglin. Their weakness is obvious. No matter how strong you make them, as soon as you decide to wear a gold piece, you become their best friend. On top of that, you can simply build up a few blocks and eliminate the piglin from there. Time to change that. And what we need is a leader that can unite piglins, tell them who is their enemy and create a no-build zone. And to make this cool leader, I have to upgrade every single piece of a pickling, starting with the legs. And because I want our commander to be infected by lava, I'm going to steal a trans-orange leg from dragon form coal and combine it with the brown pants. But before I put the parts back together, I'll use a tool to sand away on both sides of the middle section. This way I can create a tiny gap that prevents the paint from being scratched off when I move the painted legs. But painting the legs is pretty basic. I want to show you how to upgrade the torso. First up I have to clean it. But now I can map it all out with black color, before adding a bunch of orange streams to simulate lava running through the piglin's body like blood. And the torso is also completed! For the head, I'll go with the Minecraft movie style, because it makes painting face expressions so much easier. And I guess I have it a little with gray and white eyes. This time however, it has no special ability. In fact, it got slashed in a battle, making it completely useless. But that Didn't stop our piglin from becoming a commander, and because of that, I created him a crown to show his status. Now let's put the head into the oven. I think this head looks amazing, but even better after I paint the crown in gold. But what else is typical for a leader? Right, a cape. Many supervillains have one, and mine is going to be torn and veined by streams of lava. Now the minifigure is completed. I call him Commander Ashkar. The last step is to upgrade his weapon, because a basic gold sword is... Definitely not worthy of this fighter. Instead, I'll take a 3D model of a double-bladed axe and paint that one in the same colors I used for the minifigure. Now our commander is truly finished. And once commander Ashkar spawns, he has the ability to regroup piglins within his radius to form a trained unit that is no longer fooled by gold armor. And once commander Ashkar drops below half his hit points, He'll spawn another batch of piglins that are loyal members of his unit. He will also cast an area around him, and as soon as you enter this danger zone, you will no longer be able to build blocks. This is a fight you will hardly be able to win with only a gold helmet. Yup, as expected. And it's also why next up I'll upgrade Steve. I know he's not a mob, but he's definitely iconic for the game. And you gotta be honest, he's really basic, even in a full diamond armor. So I decided to create a full set of new armor, which I'll call the dragon armor. My first step is to mold and 3d print the armor. The second step is to paint the entire thing, and since the armor will be crafted out of diamond armor and a rare upgrade template, the main color will be dark blue. The specialty of the chestplate is that it is merged with an elytra, so you no longer have to switch between your chestplate and the elytra. And because it's a dragon armor, the wings are shaped like dragon wings, and the helmet is of course shaped like a dragon head, with big horns, evil eyes, and sharp teeth. The legs, however, will stay the same. Well, not entirely. I'll paint them in the same royal blue that I used to paint the rest of the armor. This way we have a full set of dragon armor. But if we have dragon armor, we should also have a dragon sword. So I'll design and 3D print another 3D sword. This time the hilt is decorated by a dragon head. The blade of the sword I'll paint in bright blue, just like a normal diamond sword. But the head of the dragon, Once again in royal blue. Now it looks like the dragon sword is breathing blue fire. And talking about dragon breath, the sword not only appears like this, but if you hit the ground in front of you, you will set everything ahead of you on fire. It's blue fire. Ha! Because it is a blue dragon. Now Steve can fly around in his dragon armor and attack enemies with his powerful sword. Woah, that went quick. This new warrior is really strong, but not every village has such a strong warrior to protect them and an ahiatsu is super rare. This means we could do with an iron golem upgrade nonetheless. A normal golem is super powerful in heavy combat, but as soon as he has to fight a long range attacker, he's useless. Even more so if the attacker is standing beneath a tree or much worse, On top, then the golem stands absolutely no chance. To counter this weakness, I want to create an iron golem with an energy shield. This way, enemies will be forced to go to the golem, which is a terrible idea. And because such a shield needs a lot of energy, the upgraded iron golem will be powered by a diamond energy core. The legs I'll connect with a ball joint and the feet via a small bar. For the arms, I'll create a blocky shoulder and from there, expand the arms downwards until they end in two heavy clubs. But if I simply attach the head, it looks kinda bad. So I'll use a cutting disc to cut away some of the back side of the head. Now I can refine the edges with a scalpel and then use a different sanding tool to remove parts of the middle tube. The final step is to glue the head to a 1x3 tile. This makes it really easy for me to attach the head to the rest of the golem. Another essential detail of a typical golem are the vines. And because our golem is more powerful than the original one, He's also growing more vines. To create the vines, I'll take some putty and flatten it like a pizza dough. So we also learn to bake on this channel, because step two is to cut the Fimo to the appropriate size. For this, I'll put the LEGO parts under the Fimo and then cut out their shape. But because the vines have to be in a Minecraft style, it takes me so long to shape all the sections the way I want them to be. And that for all the other sections as well. But Ninja never quit! So I'll also do the other parts, no matter the cost. Boom! Ah! It's finally time to also put these parts into the oven. One eternity later. And it's time to paint. First, I'll cover all the sections in white as a base. And now I'll mix the correct green, which I'll use as the main color for all the vine sections. And the golem could be finished. But hold on to your pickaxes. We have forgotten about the infamous white eye. Only true heroes like Herobrine have one. Well, this time it's actually light blue and also features no special ability, Except that it incorporates the energy flowing through the golem. And our golem upgrade is complete! I got heavily inspired by Kipper's design and let's see how much stronger he is compared to the original version. For this, each of the golems have to defend a village against the same raid, consisting of a revenger, two pillagers, two vindicators and a witch. The golem wins if the villagers survive. Let's test a normal golem. The golem immediately launches himself at the attackers, dealing heavy damage, but what he doesn't realize is the fact that pillagers are invading the village and take out the villagers, so the defense failed. Now let's reset everything except that this time an Iron Golem, an upgraded golem, is protecting the village. And instead of launching himself at the attackers, an Iron Golem falls back and rallies the villagers around him. Then he activates his iron shield that protects him from long-range attacks. This means the raiders have to close in and attack him directly. Now our Iron Golem can lift his heavy clubs and crush the outcasts. Three royales! Comment which upgrade was best and what other mobs could do with an upgrade. See ya in the next video!
