The video is a walkthrough of a Minecraft build that starts from the oldest version of the game, known as "pre-classic" or "cave game", and progresses through each major update, gradually adding new blocks and features to the build.
The video starts with a simple house built using only cobblestone blocks, which is the only block available in the pre-classic version. The house is then upgraded to the classic version, where new blocks like bricks, glass, and logs are introduced.
In the beta version, the player is able to fly, which greatly simplifies the building process. The house is then expanded and detailed with new blocks, and the player is able to add a lot more detail to the house.
As the video progresses, the player upgrades to each new version of Minecraft, incorporating new blocks and features into the build. For example, in the 1.2 update, new blocks like mycelium and lily pads are introduced. In the 1.3 update, the player is able to place stairs upside down, which leads to a whole load of new possibilities.
In the 1.7 update, the player is able to use mods, specifically the replay mod, which allows for more extensive building and terraforming of the landscape. In the 1.10 update, the player moves the building into the sky, allowing for more capacity to build.
In the 1.16 update, new darker stone variants are introduced, which fit perfectly with the build. The player then makes some alterations to the castle by swapping out some existing materials for new blocks.
Finally, in the 1.16 update, the player creates a second dragon flying around the castle using the new warped nether blocks. The existing bone dragon is then upgraded to incorporate the new crimson nether blocks.
Throughout the video, the player also makes some design alterations to the castle, adds more to the main bridge, and creates a collapse section perhaps broken by the dragon to add some story behind the build.
