Actually, a fortune pickaxe is much more useful for compacting raw ores than a silk touch pickaxe. After mining an iron vein, take your raw iron in a crafting table and make raw iron blocks, which compacts 9 raw iron into 1 block. You can then decompact them once your back from mining. This way you can go on much longer mining expeditions without filling up your inventory and you know exactly how many blocks of iron you got too.

>Minecraft Habits Keeping You Poor >The recommendation to spend extra resources to put golden rails instead of just using redstone powder

You don't want to silk touch ores aside from nether gold. Just carry a crafting table and you can craft the raw ore into blocks of raw ore, giving you 9x the space and saving you from wasting durability on your tools

Regarding the statue of liberty. It was originally a brilliant copper color. So even if it’s not oxidized it’s still accurate. Just historically accurate and not modernly accurate

I light up caves to see, not to prevent the mobs from spawning. Walking in a semi-dark cavern is acceptable I suppose, but still, I would rather see the blocks without the shadows.

I had no clue you could actually shoot down chorus fruits, I'm actually mind-blown. Imagine the minigame potential for that.

Andrew Tate title

Use Y-54, not Y-58, for mining diamonds. It's a lot safer being above the lava layer and diamonds there are just as plentiful (slightly less technically, but it doesn't really matter).

There's one exception to the smelting ore blocks instead of raw ores. Even when you mine nether gold with fortune three, you'll never get a full ingot from a block. Silk Touch them instead, and stick them in a furnace. Though I suppose most of you know this already.

I like these "trick" videos that still tell you to do the inefficient thing. Craft your fortune-gained ore while mining into the raw stacks instead. Also, you actually *do* want to smelt nethergold blocks because, in the long run, you'll get more gold ingots that way as the average number of nuggets gained per block under Fortune 3 is only 8.8 whereas if you smelt the block, you get 1 full ingot (which is 9 nuggets).

Well, I'd actually rather use Shears since they are much cheaper to replace, especially with an iron farm

I will say for the crop one, the best way to plant your crops is in a 9x9 square with one water source in the middle. You can keep expanding out with more 9x9 squares, or go up and make a big tower of farms with one water stream going down the middle.

Counterpoint to cactus + mob farms being inefficient for making lime dye, doing both things yield several side benefits like cactus smelting being integrated into a smelter array exp farm, and the mob farm providing other materials alongside being exp farms at the same time

Be careful using Lightning Rods for decorations. While they have their purpose, they also prevent Trap Horses from Spawning near the local area during a Thunderstorm. Take them down after getting your Advancements, and/or make sure there is a Block above them, either an overhang, or a block high enough that it can't be seen. Also, use non-flammable Blocks for your roofs to protect them from Lightning.

You can compact ores much more efficiently if you mine them with fortune and then craft them into blocks. You get up to 4 items compacted when you use silk touch instead, but you get 9 compacted when you craft blocks.

1:22 "shorter than a block" is one pixel higher

You can also use F3 + N to quick switch between your current gamemode and your previous gamemode!

Tbh, I never knew that the chorus flowers could be collected with an axe. I always used arrows or a loyalty trident. The more you know.

Oh my god - the mud block tip alone was worth watching the video! Wasn't aware of it being a little less than 1 block high, so that you can remove stuff using a normal hopper... Minecraft keeps surprising me!

0:34 this made me giggle lol

I never knew about the crops growing faster in rows thing; could be useful in villager breeders and automatic farms!

another fun thing about horses, if you affect them with a speed or jump potion they pass on the enhanced stats to offspring! Over a few generations this can lead to some pretty god like equine friends! edit 1: I have two simple words that make cauldrons 100% worth it, lava farm.

i think so playing minecraft at this age is keeping me poor

The biggest habit that keeps you poor is starting the game instead of working lmao

While hoppers are fine for small sugar cane farms, hopper minecarts are so much better for medium to large farms because they cost orders of magnitude less iron and are much more lag friendly. Also, unrelated sugar cane farming tip: you can use waterlogged stairs for your water sources for sugar cane. This means you can walk over the field while manual harvesting without worrying about falling into the annoying potholes and you don't have to route hopper mine cart rails around a block underneath the water. Edit: forgot about water logged leaves. That has those advantage but you can also presumably put torches on them which you can't do with stairs.

I disagree at 2:38 and here is why: Basically, you need to consider how much yield you're going to get from fortune. If, on average, the ore gives you fewer than 9x yeild, you should instead mine the ore with fortune and craft them into blocks as you mine. According to the minecraft wiki, every single ore, when mined with fortune, has an average yeild of less than 9 *except for lapis*, so the silk touch method is only the most efficent with lapis. Since everything else will give you an average yeild of less than 9 items, it's more space efficent to bring a crafting table and craft them into blocks. This way, you can carry more and do not need to re-mine everything at home. However, you could still use the silk touch method if you want to store the EXP for later, in which case, it still has an advantage.

Actually the hopper minecart is so much better in the earlier parts of the game since the resources required to make a full hopper sugarcane farm is wayyyy more than putting some tracks down.

Using a drop instead of a down elevator is fine if it is not being used for a structure with more than 2 floors, in which case you will want the elevator instead. Using open fence gates to hold the water allows multi floor exits and is useful if you are doing a lot in a small footprint.

0:45 "and considering there isnt even 30 enchantments in the game..." This made me wonder, "Is there actually not 30? There seems like theres so many!" And so I counted on my fingers every enchantment in the game from memory, sorted by items you usually use it on. And here is more or less what I got... 1: Protection 2: Fire Protection 3: Blast Protection 4: Projectile Protection 5: Thorns 6: Aqua Affinity 7: Resperation 8: Swift Sneak 9: Frost Walker 10: Depth Strider 11: Soul Speed 12: Sharpness 13: Smite 14: Bane of Arthropods 15: Impaling 16: Sweeping Edge 17: Knockback 18: Fire Aspect 19: Looting 20: Efficiency 21: Fortune 22: Silk Touch 23: Unbreaking 24: Mending 25: Power 26: Punch 27: Flame 28: Infinity 29: Luck of the Sea 30: Lure 31: Loyalty 32: Channeling 33: Riptide Edit: (Thanks to MaKCNN TV) 34: Multishot 35: Peircing 36: Unknown As you can see, there is indeed 30, or just over 30, enchantments in the game. JSYK FYI

0:14 We have a bigger problem The sub button is no longer red

Pro tip: make an iron farm early on. Like seriously early. And make it close to your base so that its always running. Then get free stacks of iron blocks and never worry about mining ir smelting it again

The best solution for #28 is to build a functioning sink (two waterlogged stairs on either side of a source block) so you can infinitely fill buckets AND bottles. Also, cauldrons have a specific use that I very recently found out about: removing dye from shulker boxes & banners.

8:45 Fun fact: Statue of Liberty was brown before, due to also being made using copper, and after years it oxidated and became green.

On bedrock you can put potions in cauldrons and you can get tipped arrows that way that’s right you can get tipped arrows without going to the end

I always have a cauldron nearby my potion stand... for look 😉 As for the Ender Chest. Emergency items should be available just opening it. Not hidden in another box. Unless you're doing something specific. You shouldn't need all 27 spaces to be shulker box.

I don't know how the way I play Minecraft has any impact on my financial status but okay. 👍

7:24 skip:This bridge could be the death of me ME: OR maybe just a better me

Normally I just have shulker boxes coloured and names by dimension. For example, I have a red shulker box full off stuff that I may need in the nether like obsidian, flint and steel, extra tools and so on. This way I’m super organised and prepared.

cauldrons isn't a ripoff, you can refill them by placing a sourceblock above and have a dripstone drip the liquid into the cauldron (this is mostly used for infinite lava)

I like how when he says "The mud block is the best candidate for one reason- it's shorter than a full block size," the video shows a magnifying glass zoom in on mud and polished deepslate- the mud is taller. 1:17

I always planted my crops just as how the game by default has them planted in villages, which is in rows. It just made sense to me do follow by example.

8:43 Just make the statue with regular copper blocks. When the Statue of Liberty was first built, it was unoxidized, regular copper that we knew. Wait for it to oxidize on its own

For going down elevators, at the bottom of the chute have a water block with soul sand under it, the bubbles get you out quicker

Actually, I prefer getting my first diamond armor and tools from mining. If I’m going to buy them from villagers, I’m gonna want to set up a villager trading hall, because of my OCD. Then maxing the villagers out will take some time too. I’d much rather mine all the diamonds first because it’s not that hard to find a quick 30 something of them. Plus, when you’re mining for them, you get stacks of all the other ores like coal as well, so it’s a win-win.

Fun fact about bedrock, water logged leefs were always a thing.

Bro skip, thx for all this info. I think it would be amazing to build a house using every tip you have given us

You can actually use fortune on the pick on all crops, but wheat and beetroot just have their seeds effected :)

Love the videos, as an old school (2011ish) player I need the updated tricks! I remember throwing iron into a literal fire to smelt lol.

I love how you say small drip leaf are non-renewable and then immediately show how it is renewable.

If you dont farm in rows, use more tick speed :)

7:10 cool to see a photography concept also being applicable to Minecraft. When taking photos of people or architecture where you want to highlight the depth, using a long lens (focal length 70mm or more) will make it look way better than a wide lens (35mm or below), where the "FOV" is large due to distortion and compression

2:38, not a good bit of advice for how mining works in MineCraft after the introduction of raw iron and raw gold blocks. With this advice, you'd be using durability on two different tools, not to mention that you can compact raw iron and raw gold into their respective raw gold/iron blocks, meaning each raw iron block = 9 pieces of raw iron, a stack of raw iron blocks would then be the equivalent of 576 iron bars, or simply 64 blocks of solid iron. The optimal experience you should aim for in current mining is to find a village early on in your world with a librarian that has mending books in their shop inventory. Enchant and get your fortune pickaxe, then apply mending to the pickaxe, now you don't have to worry about durability since you'll only use it to mine ores, anytime you want you can only use it for quartz/diamond or just make an XP farm with whatever mob you want, as long as the pickaxe is the only mending item in your inventory, it will take all the xp charge to refill its durability, can do that infinitely with any other armor/tool you have mending on.

"don't type /gamemode creative. instead, use f3+f4" bedrock players: guess I'll die

2:56 "...And you don't have to worry about dying with litteral stacks of diamonds while your down there." Nope, with silk touch you lose all you diamonds in one stack, meaning a higher chance of them all burning in lava if you are near it.

Here's some more Crouch while mining to completely remove the risk of falling into lava Always have a water bucket in your inventory (except for going to the nether) And when you dig straight up, place a torch at your feet to negate embarrassing deaths

The Fortune vs Silk touch for ores is being debated a bit. if you need in stone ore blocks - always silk touch. If you are exploring / mining in multi-layer caves - use fortune as it allows you to condense the stone / deepslate ores into the raw ore blocks instead of having them in separate piles. if mining in exclusively deepslate or stone caves - generally better to silk touch lapis / redstone, and fortune everything else. and yes silk touch the netherrack gold blocks as they give slightly more gold when smelted vs fortune mined.

*No fortune is still better than silk touch for inventory space.* All you need to do is grab a crafting table, or just have wood on you, and you can easily convert every ore into blocks, saving 9x the space. Unlike silk touch which at most can save 3x. Everyone always remembers to Mine, but nobody remembers to Craft. And yes, I know it isn't fully 9x the space, because you'll always have an extra ore or two you can't craft into blocks, and also the space for the table itself, but as long as you don't go mining with 7 free spaces in your inventory you should be fine.

This video has me going both “yes I KNOW, it’s just that I always forget!” and “wait ppl don’t normally do this?”

That "Too expensive" fix gonna help alot after that villagers trading nerf

Remember! If you have a water source with a stalactite below it, the water will drip into a cauldron below it and fill it up over time. Maybe it isn't as efficient, but certainly looks cool!

I like how the mud block looks like it's larger

0:25 aah yes *Serious Dedication is finally useful*

the statue of liberty is actually made of copper,but it oxidized which actually made it much more beautiful than before,so letting it oxidize by itself could be good for realims of how it happened

1:40 I do the F3+F4 almost every time Funny thing is I didn’t know about the spelling out the game mode name because I was used to game mode 1 2 or 3. It wasn’t until like last year (even though I started playing again in august 2020 after quitting in 2014 just before 1.8) that I found out about the new command system.

Something about the copper one, placing the copper in a large block is faster for larger quantities given you don't have to spread your copper over an area the size of Manhattan to get that statue of liberty. One other thing you can do to speed up your oxidation would be to sandwich your copper blocks between layers of fully oxidized copper. When copper checks to see if it should age, the game checks for copper blocks around our copper of interest, counts how many are of a higher oxidation stage, and then divides the total number of copper blocks by the number of older copper blocks. And then the game generates a number between one and zero and the copper ages a stage if that random number is less than the number that earlier bit of math spat out.

Okay the water elevator one was stupid simple, I'm so frustrated I didn't think of it

2:38 A Mistake If you have a fortune pickaxe also then you collect the ore and just make them raw blocks like copper,gold,iron :)

Mr. Beast or someone has to make a 100 player UKpostsr Minecraft Trivia. Skip's a literal walking Wiki at this point.

For the mud with sugarcane, if the farm is really big or if you're in a server, minecart hoppers will lag less

1:21 “it’s shorter than a full block” Mud: proceeds to be 0.5 pixels taller

0:36 come on man, that has to be intentional

6:34 *activator rails*

I'm perplexed about the silk touch ore mining...I just combined the raw order into a dense Iron Ore block, which would be more compact than most stone blocks with ore in them (9 ores to a block instead of however many ores you get from a fortune pick, usually 2-6). The only exception might be Copper blocks, which I've seen give me even more than 9 raw ores in a single block.

8:45 You should build it out of unoxidized copper. That's what the statue was made from.

>Minecraft Habits Keeping You Poor > dont mine diamonds to save diamonds

2:45 me: make block of raw irons by one log that turn into crafting table *problem solved*

I always said the silk touch pick was good for mining, but people I've played with say it's for noobs or it makes more sense to use fortune in caves, I even said it saves space in inventory 😆

Further increase your farm output by planting your crops in a checker pattern. Crops check for plants of the same kind on all sides.

“You save the world from running out of diamonds” I would really like to see someone who mined all levels with any possible diamonds and see how long that takes

9:08 Please, never do that with a trident. Tbh. never use trident if you are in the End dimension. I've never heard anyone saying that in any yt minecraft vid, but if you throw your loyalty 3 (or any lvl) trident into the void it's never comming back... Lost one trying to fight the dragon but it just bounced off and fell down.

For the copper one it would really be a lot cooler to just let it oxidize naturally like it did irl

That gamemode switch thing is so much easier. Thanks, Skip. Really saved me some serious time.

The crop farm method really stood out to me because, for years and years, I have built my farms the "slower" way. By the way, how do you discover those details?

Amazing content - really encouraging to me with my own channel :)

4:00 it doesn't work only on carrot and potatoes, but on all crops. though, on wheat and beetroot it only gives more seeds

Trust me, take the time to organize your ender chest. It can definitely help you in a pinch. Ever travel thousands of blocks without wings in the end or neather and forgot one thing.. it will definitely help you.. I always have Diamonds, iron, gold and redstone stuff in there own shulker. Just so it’s easier to know how much of which resource I have. Always make a food box that has at least two campfires, a stack of cooked meat, a stack of raw veggies (so you can plant them), ether a stack of bones or bone meal (not everyone has endless bone meal), a stack of dirt (incase your in the neather or end) and a hoe. That box has saved me so many times because I ran out of food. Highly recommend making a box like that.

Skip: “NEVER type this command-“ MCPE Players: But… 👁👄👁

1:03 are gnembon's trick still work on the latest update?

You should be able to plant crops on mud, it would also count as a water source. 😌

“It’s shorter than a full block” Shows that is is a pixel taller

Yes use cobble stone to build in the nether, but bridges and paths can go twice as far with slabs.

10:00 "essentially nonrenewable" *Proceeds to trade for it with a wandering trader*

8:20 i can barley fight a zombie (even though I’ve been playing for like 8-9 years or smth) how can I beat the ended dragon 😭😭

How do you know if you’re planting in rows not columns when I make my farms into squares?

9:18 Thank you so much my guy I really like lime green and because of you i know how to get them easier

I like to use smooth blackstone for nether bridges. Stylish and durable.

You can actually punch the horses instead of waiting all the time it takes to tame it bc it’s way faster watching it run away and see it’s speed :)

No Minecraft world is going to run out of diamonds if it’s an infinite world. Mine your diamonds and make gear out of it. There is no problem with that

Here’s a tip use trees (super trees specifically of the spruce kind) for charcoal rather than coal

THANK YOU. I don’t play much since my pc can’t handle a few things, but this is really cool to know.
