Welcome! My page is home to many things Minecraft, mostly it's Yogscast related, I am the builder of a currently unreleased Yoglabs and Shadow of Israphel map replica, I am also the maker of the Unofficial Yoglabs and Shadow of Israphel resource pack!...

Hello everybodyyyyyy!!! I cannot express the smile I had on my face watching this footage. Your eyes do not deceive you, the FULL exterior of the Yoglabs map is finally done, after what were probably months of building you can now see the full island in all of it's glory! I now move on from developing this terrain to filling as much of the hill up as possible with awesome laboratory rooms. On that note, let's go over what's happening right now.

Pictured above is a slice of the lower areas of Yoglabs. The very large room on the left was meant to be one of the more ending areas I had in mind for the map, it was gonna be behind the room that has the robot army in it. I have since changed my mind on this and moved it to the other side of the map where it will connect in a more meaningful way to the rest. The very large area pictured in the middle is where the two big towers were that marked the start of this map. I felt they were limiting what I could do and they didn't serve any purpose other than to be kind of like the origin of how this map started. I have moved this build outside of the main map where it will remain and I will use this area as a new area that links the front of Yoglabs to the back where C.H.L.O.E and the sentinel bay is. This Bay (which you can see on the video above). will be removed however. I am building a better looking room to showcase the Sentinels. That big area will be a part of that, that's all I will say on that.

WIth the island being finished also comes the final two big rooms that required a bunch of worldediting. I am very happy with how both of these turned out but in all honesty I think the Pyramid Room needs another pass which I will probably do later down the line. Now you might be wondering, what the hell is left? Wasn't that the final parts that needed doing? And to that I say, you are correct. The map is, apart from a few tiny things, completely done. But that doesn't mean the parts I envisioned beyond what was seen are done. No those are still very much WIP but I can promise you that I am aiming to release this map in 2026 still. I hope you all like the more frequent updates and insight into how the map is going. I am trying my best not to show too much so there is still some surprises left to see. In any case, I'll see you all in the next update.

Hello again! Wow it has been a while huh? It's already March again! I apologize for not posting much these past few months. I've been very busy on a seperate project which I mentioned earlier. That project being Sons of Israphel, a youtube series aimed at continuing the Shadow of Israphel series. I have joined their builders team a few months ago and have gotten involved with their upcoming nether arc as they wanted to have it be heavily Yoglabs inspired. I was ecstatic to help on such an ambitious project of course! The Yoglabs map is of course not cancelled or put on hold but I also don't have anything to show you all for now. I instead present you a small teaser of areas I have designed for their Nether arc but I have built a lot more than what you only see here, as I said I have been quite busy! I highly suggest checking them out as their show is very faithful to the original whilst also being a nice breath of fresh air. With that being said. I'll see you all soon again.

Happy New Years from us at Yoglabs!

I hope you've all had a wonderful 2025. Having gone back to Yoglabs has been a lot of fun this year. I hope to make lots of more strides on this map for you all in 2026. I haven't got a lot of new stuff to show but as you can all see I have made massive progress on the outside land around yoglabs. As a comparison, the image below is what the front looked like at the start of december. Now it's almost fully filled and just needs to have the terrain smoothed out more, then trees and then dot some grass around. I am aiming to finish the entire land as soon as possible so I can finally move on to finishing the last few rooms that are left and push out a final product. The way I will most likely do it is remove a few rooms that require too much work still and also push back a few ideas I still had left so I can release the map in a more reasonable timeframe, then I might update the map a few months afterwards with the rest of the stuff. Or would you guys rather see me work until the map is entirely done and only then release it? Please leave a comment or dm me with your thoughts. I appreciate any feedback by the way! In any case hope you all have a wonderful 2026!

Hello again everyone!

I've been taking it a little easy the last few weeks, between starting my new job and all the games that have been coming out (Silksong, Battlefield, Deltarune) I have had very little time to work on minecraft stuff. But seeing them bring back Yoglabs for a miniseries had me hyped beyond anything else! What did you think of the new revival? Anyway to get into the map again. I'm trying to get it finished asap still but again terrain terrain terrain. Going off the reference screenshot I've now started making the area behind the tunnel. Roughly eyeballing it since this is impossible to build accurately. And judging from the screenshot that hill wasn't even fully done on their map either haha. I'm probably gonna need to take hours to finish this by hand but eh I'll have to I guess. Sorry for the small update but I will be trying to get back into the grind from now. :D Also please if anyone knows how to get the old trees like you see on the reference screenshot I really need to know. Current small and large oak trees look like garbage compared to the trees I already planted and like the ones shown in the reference, idk when minecraft changed them but I am not happy they did >:c

[cineminecraft]

Hmmm this looks familiar... I'm back with another blogpost, this one will be a little smaller unfortunately. Like I said in my previous post I have started a new job, I also had all of my wisdom teeth removed and I had another go at my driving exam (I failed again :c). So as you can see I have been REALLY busy. But I still managed to do some stuff here and there.

The everlasting tunnel

As you can see the tunnel is nearly complete. And then I can finally start on one of the other parts that still need terrain work. All that remains for this part is the last bit and the surrounding outside. I have largely eyeballed the last parts of this tunnel. I hope it's not too noticeable. I had little choice as it's almost impossible building this by hand and block by block. But I tried anyway!

Onto the textures!

As mentioned before I said I would also be implementing all the Shadow of Israphel textures that were found in certain videos and the unfinished cinematic. I'm happy to say I have already finished with them! All textures are in the pack and the ones with the lines on them are actually animated like back in the day. It was fun revisiting this texture after I had made it for my old dokucraft pack. Futhermore I have also finished all villagers and have started work in the boat texture. All of these are heavy WIP as I might still tweak some edges and the animation in the future. One block is also upside down, I'll let you all guess which one that is! I hope I can get into the swing of things once I am used to the routine at work again. For now I still find myself coming home exhausted but I hope that will better soon. See you all soon!

[cineminecraft]

Here comes another Yoglabs update! I've been hard at work behind the scenes branching out the lab to even bigger scale than before. All while also still working on the painstaking terrain, trying my best to make it as accurate as possible. I have sort of let the previous areas I mentioned alone for now to focus on finishing up the outside. In order to do that I needed to finish the tunnel from the Bigger Boat episode. I sadly have not finished it yet but it's starting to look very good I'd say. Next up after that is figuring out the surroundings between this hole and the front door of Yoglabs. Then after that it's finishing up other terrain areas like the batcave, the pyramid room and the storage room...oh goodness

Training course 101

One area I have built in the meantime as well is the training course featured in the Block Gun showcase. Sadly I will have to report that I will leave this area unfinished. It features paintings and villagers that are only featured in that episode. Seeing as I already have all the paintings in use and the artwork is also way too high detail for me to copy I don't think it's worth the effort to finish this area without me providing a seperate resource pack for it. I still built the majority of it and you will be able to access it from somewhere. I haven't figured out where I'll put it yet.

Say hello to the Grand Archives room. It is not featured ANYWHERE in the show but you can see it through the floor in the Bacterial Menace episode as well as through a gap whenever they go down into the regular archive cave that comes before this room. While that one is still unfished. This room is completely done. I designed a ton of differently filled racks and pasted them around the room so as to make it look like randomized. I think this room came out exceptionally well considering how little footage there is of it. I also based the dimensions on the floor plan shown in a previous post.

Onto the textures! I have remade all of the chests since I had placeholder images for them before or straight up screenshots taken from their videos. Now they are crisp and accurate and also in the new format introduced since 1.14 I am very happy with how these turned out. But I have something more to show.

Some of you may recognize the above image, this is from the Yogscast Jingle Jam 2018 where Lewis finally showed us how Shadow of Israphel might have returned. The amazing thing about this teasing animation is the fact they replaced all Shadow of Israphel textures with Sphax. Almost certainly confirming Yoglabs was supposed to be linked back to Shadow of Israphel. Now looking back I realize to really do this pack justice I need to include all I can find on Yoglabs/SOI and their sphax pack they used. So I am adding all the tech blocks from Shadow of Israphel into my Yoglabs pack. To both increase the scope of builds I can make, that other people can make once they get their hands on this and lastly to make this pack as whole as I can. (the image above is still a WIP and I might change things) Extra If you read this far then I wanna thank you random yognaut! I'd like to shortly mention two more things before I head back to the map. One is that I have recently come into contact with a group of very cool people that are working on a series that aims to be a continuation of Shadow of Israphel. It is called Sons of Israphel and I will link their channel down below. I have shown great interest in their production and have offered to be a builder and texture artist for them where they may still need it in the future. So go check them out and you may see some builds or textures of mine appear in there! The second thing I wanna mention is that I have found a new job and am starting next week. This will unfortunately impact the time I can spend on this project but rest assured I do not plan to give up on this until it's absolutely complete! See you all in a couple of weeks when I have more stuff to show off

Time for a Yoglabs update!

Welcome back to Yoglabs, I have been hard at work behind the scenes to bring you a timely new update, there is however still A LOT on the menu with regards to my map. So let me try and put it all down as best I can.

New builds

The biggest and most frustrating part about this build, the terrain. It just doesn't seem to end how much terrain work needs to be done. I have worked a lot on the Batcave™ to make it as accurate as possible, what you see above is the exit they take with their mechs, the cobwebs are to show me the water level so I can use an easy replace command afterwards to make it all water. Next up is the dreaded valentine's day rooms from that one episode where Simon went to town on a pig I think? That was something that could fly on 2015 youtube I guess. Anyway those rooms are finished and as accurate as I could get them. Furthermore as you can see on the next few images I have placed this room at the end of the newly modified Holo-Halls. The Holo-Halls as you may know go around a corner to the right. They never ever look or go there but in the Valentine's Day episode you can just about see some purple carpet at the entrance leading me to believe this room is most likely in this extended corridor. The corridor itself is block-per-block based on the leaked blueprints of Yoglabs which shows this corridor and is the only reference point we have of it. So this is pretty much the most accurate anyone's ever added this corridor to their build. Next I have also added the server room above the reception desk. This is something I had just completely forgotten as they never venture here except for one of the very first episodes. And on a minor note the corridor before the Holo-Hall now has it's roof and the pipe finished. For the longest time this corridor had an open roof. But no longer.

Lastly there is this massive secondary cloning room that Simon and Lewis fall into near the end of an episode, I tried to position it as correctly as I could since this room is also visible on the leaked blueprints and has a corridor that connects to the entrance of the storage room. I am fairly certain this rooms placement is very accurate and the inside has been built from the few seconds they were in there. (Before Simon blows it up with squid bombs)

Textures!

So on to the textures as well, I am very happy to say I am quite finished with the blocks portion of the pack. I have revamped and updated many textures and added the last few missing ones. All that is left to do now is add the villagers and the entities which I'm pretty sure is just the boat, minecart, chest, double chest and ender chest. And then the pack is fully done! And you will have it! Anyway let's not get too excited just yet and go over what I did from left to right -redid the lapis texture to have more detail -Added the custom birch planks (takes up mossy_bricks) -redid Redstone ore block -added bottom texture to TNT -touched up the line blocks and center block (the lines didn't line up and were off a few pixels) -Added 3 mushroom blocks (I have no idea what they're supposed to be) -Added redstone

Next up So like I said in my previous post I was planning to do the entrance again because it is largely inaccurate. I am now not certain if this a feasible thing to do. I have gathered reference images from different places around the door and stuff seems to change here and there. It'll also be incredibly difficult to modify this terrain so I was thinking of redoing the front entirely from scratch on a new map and then pasting it back into this one once it's done. My issue with this is that I don't know how to paste with world edit so that everything that is behind the door won't be overwritten. Would anyone that is very knowledgeable with world edit be able to lend me a hand here and tell me if this is possible at all or not? I'd really appreciate it. Playing around with the Holo-Hall has made me realize I can do quite a bit with the concept so in my expanded area of Yoglabs I have included my very own Holo-Hall where you will find interesting rooms with side projects of mine. As for the rooms that are never entered in the main Yoglabs Holo-Hall I was thinking of putting extra areas from some Yoglabs episodes behind there. This will be very limited though as space is tight under the mountain but I will see about adding some cool rooms that aren't in the main Yoglabs halls anymore since the main hall features the siderooms from the 1.8 Command Blocks episode and onward. So no BBQ room for example. You will definitely be able to explore for a long time on this map but not every side area they ever went to might be there since they also move and rearrange rooms a lot between episodes. It's simply not possible to have it all be there. In any case this was my update for now. Hope you all enjoy and thank you for any kind of support! (shaders are by Continuum LLC)

A distant memory washes over you as the seemingly endless corridor looms before you, the void it emanates could swallow you whole. You take a deep breath and ask yourself:

"Have I been here before?"

[cineminecraft]

Alright! Let's get into it shall we, beginning right where we left off about a decade ago! But first some backstory. I had left this map on my hard drive after deciding it was too late to even bother working on it. Yoglabs had already died off and so did it's fandom, looking at the Yogscast channel recently and I see they barely even do Minecraft anymore. I realize at most 100 people will see this but that doesn't matter to me. I feel like I owe it to myself, specifically my childhood self to see this map through to the end, it is and will probably always be my largest and most time consuming personal project, so I will make one last push, one last big effort to finish it or atleast make it as good as I can possibly make it. That being said one of the last things I shared about the map was the sheer scale of the island I had made, it was very world-edit-y looking and I had to smooth it out largely by hand and with the smooth tool. As you can see above I have made some insane progress over the last couple of weeks and the island is starting to look nearly finished. Currently what I still have to do is the following: -Smooth out the terrain even further -Finish any exits that are shown in the series and then extend the terrain from there to connect to the rest of the mountain (largely the front of the mountain) -Finish the resourcepack (4-5 textures left) -Finish all the areas from episodes (several left) -re-do the entrance

REDO THE ENTRANCE? WHY? It looks done Well you see when I started this project I had built off of a map someone else had already made. It's probably lost to time right now but this person had the hill pretty well to scale, only the door was way too small so I enlarged it but didn't touch most of the cliffside. While you wouldn't say it at first it is in fact way too small. The pipe extends way further left before hitting the cliff and the hill on the right extends further too, I already started correcting it a bit with worldedit as you can see but continuing that is for later though.

What's with that massive hole in the side of the mountain? Well I'm glad you asked, this was at first a finished hill but I had severely miscalculated where the Batcave™ would be. Having largely built it now I had to know the side of the cliff down. What you see now is one of those exits like in the show where I now have to carefully build it and then connect it to the rest of the terrain so it looks natural. Now here's an import part of info. I had previously held myself to making this map 100% accurate which includes any and all blocks seen on-screen, I regret to say now however that I will need to walk back on this rule as there is simply not enough footage to get the terrain correct, so the walls you can see here are all placed from the episode block per block but I will build the rest without referencing the episode since stuff is either out of view or way too dark, it's simply not possible. This will be applied to other areas as well where I have struggled in the past to make it 100% accurate.

Next up is this little build Haha little who am I kidding. This took a week to build! But yes I had no place to put this thing before but seeing as I'm now on a more recent version of Minecraft the build limit got magically increased which allowed me to now plonk this pyramid down. Just like before the cave this pyramid resides in is way too dark on their videos to build block per block so I will make a rough interpretation and it won't be 100% accurate.

Next up some textures!

I have been spending some time learning how on earth minecraft works right now, the last time I touched textures was in 1.12.2 and A LOT has changed since then including what blocks and items Sphax uses custom models for as well as what names are used for textures. I'm happy to report the whole pack has been updated to work with Sphax on 1.20 with the exception of redstone not behaving as intended with the custom textures. As some of you may have known as well, the official pack has been leaked a few years ago and is available on the yogscast wiki. So naturally you probably wonder why I don't just use that one since it's the real textures right? Well I had already largely made the pack years before it got leaked so I'm sadly not going to let all that hard work go to waste. It was actually really cool to see how accurate I got some textures just from looking at the videos back in the day. In any case I have the pack saved on my pc and can pull references from it to make mine more accurate. As you can see I have updated the above textures and they look more accurate now than before. I will do this for a lot of the textures down the road but right now the following are updated: Blocks:

-smooth stone (added subtle circles and fixed the color) -tiles (they were slightly off-colour) -Melon (added a subtle gradient to the blue) -oak trapdoor (grate in the middle was incorrect as were the borders) -furnace (added a furnace_on version) -Piston (completely re-drew piston_inner and piston_bottom) -Netherrack (added subtle cracks to the texture)

Paintings:

-added sharper version of the periodic table texture (I found the source image) -added unused texture that was in the official yoglabs textures. Kinda cool and sad it's never seen in their series...

Wow that was surely an update! The scale is unlike anything I could have ever imagined myself building, I'm so incredibly blow away anytime I travel underneath the mountain seeing the insane scale of it all. I wanna leave this new update off on a small compilation of screenshots showing off the insane scale of the project and some areas that back then never saw the public eye. It gives you some idea of where I was going and still am going with this map. I hope to get some people maybe back into this blog and we can make this map finally done for all to see. Thank you for taking your time to read this. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them. My DM's are open as well if you have some cool ideas! In any case here are the patch notes and enjoy the images!

-Updated the map and resource pack to 1.20.1 (will try to make it available when done for both 1.20 up until 1.21 or whatever the latest version is by then) -Updated textures by referencing the leaked resource pack and added 1 new painting -Fixed and finished various areas around Yoglabs that were still left unfinished -Added Pyramid section (WIP) -Added Batcave™ (WIP) -Added new area to one of the Holohall rooms (WIP) -Added library at the end of the main hall -continued working on deep search III area (cave and storage room WIP) -started building exit from the Bigger Boat episode (WIP) -Continued working on expansion areas to Yoglabs that aim to connect it to Shadow of Israphel (WIP headcanon) -expanded the ocean area with A LOT, it should now make sure far off chunks are not visible up to 16 render distance! -added beach all around the island (WIP) -brainstormed about how to fill the rest of the mountain -moved stuff around so I can build a better connected network between places through the pipes that you see all around yoglabs

Small question

Hey everyone, or anyone that still remembers me. I haven't used this site in what feels like forever, I've gone a different route and stepped away from Minecraft as I got older and didn't get the same enjoyment anymore out of it. I'm now doing other stuff on other social media, I've crawled back to this site to just ask a simple question, is the algorithm on here as shit as all the other ones? I'm thinking of maybe using this account again for my new projects if anyone here would be down to see what I do now. But seriously what does it take to get like more than 100 views and 2 likes on your posts? Is social media everywhere just this bad or what? Gonna put a poll here for anyone that cares, and the work I do now is retextures for VRchat avatars, specifically furry ones.

Would you like to see my new projects?

Yes

No

Hey guys, it’s been quite a long time. Nothing much has happened on my tumblr for the longest time so I thought I’d give you all a little treat. 

As you may have seen on twitter and other sites such as Chillblast. There’s a lot of hype going on about raytracing having been implemented in Minecraft. Well it’s true! Sort of... The developer of SEUS called Cody Darr managed to outdo himself once again and gave us the closest thing to having full raytracing in Minecraft. His latest dev on Patreon named PTGI E5 looks something like the above. And it’s really freakin’ beautiful how the lighting looks now. It’s so bloody realistic. You just have to look for yourself. But in case you want a little tast of what it looks like, the above images are my Shadow of Israphel map using SEUS PTGI E5. Enjoy!

Hey everyone!

Oh god it’s been so long again since I wrote a blog post. Time flies by like crazy. For any of you who are still here and checking on my blog. Love you guys! To all the porn bots that follow me, good riddance! :p Now I might have some cool stuff to show off soon-ish. Some of the stuff probably not minecraft related but oh well. If my blog is dying as much as it is then I might as well try some new subjects no? :) But until any of that can be revealed here are some more awesome images I made when I had a some free time, nothing is built by me in these images so if you want a source to download just pm me.

[cineminecraft]

Ive been away for some time and see you arent working on any projects, does this mean that the YogLabs world is available for download, even tho its unfinished?

Nope. See the post below :)

[cineminecraft]

Since your not working on your projects can you release them?

I’m sorry but I won’t be releasing them unless they’re finished. I don’t know if I might ever come back to this project and honestly I still work on it sometimes. If only a little bit. So one day perhaps :)

[syncrasis]

My old Minecraft texture pack! I just tried playing with it for the first time in… probably 3 years and it still works (mostly!). So I decided I might as well put it up for download. It’s far from complete, but what’s there still looks decent. 

Here’s the download link:

Your pack is gorgeous!!!
