100 Days – [Minecraft End]
One YouTuber, zero Overworld resources, and one very unhappy Ender Dragon.
Luke TheNotable — real name Luke Phillips Hebert, the YouTuber who effectively built the “100 Days” survival genre inside the Minecraft community — set himself a rule most players would call self-sabotage. Instead of dropping into a normal world with trees, dirt, and farmland, he starts “100 Days – [Minecraft End]” trapped in the End dimension, the barren, void-laced realm normally reserved for the endgame boss fight. No wood. No soil. No easy food source. Just End stone, Endermen, and a countdown to Day 100.
- Hebert restricts nearly all progression to the End dimension itself, rejecting the Overworld’s abundant wood, dirt, and farmland that every prior “100 Days” run relied on.
- He crosses the dimension’s open void using single-block bridge construction and Ender Pearl throws to reach End Cities and End Ships, the only sources of Elytra, shulker boxes, and top-tier diamond gear in the challenge.
- The run is a spinoff within Hebert’s broader “100 Days” catalog, a format that had already scaled up to hardcore benchmarks running into the thousands of days and had been widely imitated across gaming YouTube by early 2021.
Starting From Nothing in the Worst Possible Place
Every “100 Days” video begins with a scramble for basic survival, but the End strips away the usual toolkit. There’s no dirt to place, no wood to chop, no crops to plant — just endless obsidian platforms, End stone islands, and the void underneath. Hebert has to improvise shelter and a functioning base almost entirely out of End stone, mining and stacking the dimension’s only renewable building material while keeping an eye on hunger meters he can’t easily refill without a food source of his own making.
That resource scarcity is the entire premise of the challenge, and it’s what separates this entry from Hebert’s other “100 Days” runs, including the format-defining 100 Hours In Minecraft Hardcore: Episode 1. Where a normal survival world hands players farmland and forests within the first in-game hour, the End forces every early decision — what to mine, where to bridge, which Enderman to risk fighting — to double as a resource calculation.
Endermen, Ender Pearls, and Bridging the Void
The End’s native hostile mob, the Enderman, isn’t just scenery here — it’s both the greatest threat and the most valuable resource in the run. Endermen drop Ender Pearls, and Ender Pearls are Hebert’s only reliable way to cross the void between End Islands without building a full bridge by hand. Throughout the video he alternates between manually placing blocks across open nothingness and pearling short gaps, all while fending off the hordes that spawn in the dark.
Hebert leans into the absurdity of the grind with his usual comedic commentary, joking about single-handedly laying bridge after bridge across the void while scrolling memes on the side. He also picks up dragon’s breath potions along the way and narrates his own survival of repeated void-adjacent Ender Pearl travel — the kind of near-miss moment that’s become a signature beat of the series.
Bridging the void one block at a time while browsing memes — that’s the pace of survival when the whole map is End stone and nothing else.
Raiding End Cities for Elytra and Diamond Gear
The real turning point of the run comes once Hebert locates End Cities and their attached End Ships, the only structures in the dimension that hold meaningful loot. Elytra — the wings that let players glide instead of walk — are the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade available, and finding one changes how the rest of the challenge plays out. Shulker boxes recovered from the same structures give him portable storage, while End Ships also hand over high-tier diamond armor and tools that the End otherwise never generates naturally.
That loot run is what eventually makes a fight with the Ender Dragon survivable without ever setting foot in the Overworld. Between the mining bases built from End stone, the Elytra pulled from a End Ship, and the diamond gear scavenged along the way, Hebert assembles just enough of a kit to attempt the boss fight the dimension was designed around in the first place.
Part of a Format That Spawned Its Own Ecosystem
This entry sits inside a “100 Days” catalog that had, by the time this video went up, already expanded into hardcore benchmark runs stretching into the thousands of in-game days — and into a format so widely copied across gaming YouTube that “100 Days” had become shorthand for an entire genre of self-imposed survival challenges by early 2021. The End run is one of the format’s more restrictive spinoffs, trading the usual open-world freedom for a hard resource ceiling that forces every decision, from shelter to boss fight, through a single narrow bottleneck.
Hebert closes out the 100 days the way these videos always do — with the countdown hitting zero and a dragon fight that’s either a clean finish or a chaotic scramble, depending on how much Elytra and diamond gear made it back from the End Ships. Either way, the next entry in the catalog is only a matter of which dimension or rule set he decides to punish himself with next.
