You know, I have thought about building a mob farm to get a zombie villager, but I'm not sure I need them. I know the Wandering trader can trade saplings, but I wasn't sure I'd have enough emeralds for when the time came. But I think I have enough for now. I also thought I might want arrows from the fletcher, but I have that under control, too. I just don't want to have to build villagers houses and a whole area for them. Plus, I like the solitude. But, you never, know. I might change my mind and build something.

That redstone lamp under the lever is brilliant. And such a simple idea. Thanks. So the zombie piglin didn't spawn in the nether but in the portal? I did not know they could do that. So I wonder if Magma Cubes can spawn in the portal, too. Interesting.

@@blazeranger5279 No, just zombie piglins. Originally it was supposed to be ghasts^^

@@bit7schubser45 Geez, I didn't even think of ghasts. Imagine one of those just popping into your world unannounced! YIKES!

Way ahead of you buddy with the bubble elevator. The geode size question was specifically for you, but I knew if anyone knew the answer and would provide it, it would be you. There are sooo many geodes in this ocean you don't have to worry about me breaking one or two of the budding amethysts. I love minecarts in strange places. I think I can even make one underwater. I was thinking of making one from my base directly to the zombie farm.

@@blazeranger5279 Oh yeah, under water would be cool. You know that minecarts can also drive directly in water? They are slower and you have to check whether there is enough air to breathe. 🤔

Thank you, and welcome aboard.

I know what you mean. I've been doing this for almost 10 years and expect it to blow up at any moment. Thanks for the confidence in my channel. I hope you enjoy the videos. Have a great day!

Shipwreck tours, yes, plural, will be coming.

All in - just over 66 hours. YIKES!! But some of that was goofing around on the island. Time well spent. I don't totally trust the sneak toggle just yet. Neceros (or was it you) told me about it recently and while I did test it, I'm not used to it so don't want to do something stupid and fall off the world - or have the warden pop up because I didn't do it right.

@@blazeranger5279 Wow, 66 hours is a lot. Yes, the sneak toggle thing is an adjustment. The first time I used it was in skyblock. Maybe when you play skyblock again?

@@blazeranger5279 Oh, I forgot you were wondering if the kelp would grow to the top. Unfortunately, it grows to a maximum of 25 blocks high. I don't understand why Neceros made the ocean so absurdly deep. Maybe this will become clear later. Do you have any idea? 🤔

@@bit7schubser45 Maybe he just doesn't want us down there - not that that's ever stopped me before. The thing is I can see the bottom and it looks like bedrock so there really no need to go down there, or is there? Not that I think of it, I better head down and see what's going on down there. And while kelps only grows 25 blocks high, with bone meal the height is only limited to the height of the water.

@@blazeranger5279 That's true. But to bone meal the kelp you would have to dive down there. And the question was whether you can get kelp without having to dive down there. Maybe Neceros simply turned everything into water that would otherwise be stone and that is why the ocean is so deep. 🤔

I guess I never kept up with the changes - if there were even changes. I vividly remember my first blaze farm and it seemed blazes spawned regardless of light level. It may just be my poor memory and I've been wrong all these years. Back then I knew everything about things and now I struggle with what things are even called, let alone the specifications and rules on things. I'll definitely look that light level thing up. And as I was editing the video I did remember about soul sane being slightly lower, just like tilled soil. I'll just keep bumbling my way through this world and have fun doing it. Thanks for always steering me in the right direction.

You are absolutely correct - I should have saved at least one shreaker. I could have set one up to safely (is that even possible) spawn a warden. I'm sure this won't be the only warden. I was surprised to see him so early, but he'll be back. I'd bet money on it. Not my money, of course, but I'd bet someone else's money he'll be back.

I don't mind being a little disorganized with where I put things, but not to the point where I can't find something easily. Lord knows I have enough room to have tons of chests. I just need to be better organized. Thanks, I like the house, too. It's no Blackstone Manor, but it'll do for this world.

You know the nice thing about the chicken spawner being too low? I don't have tons of chickens running around. I can save that for later if I need it.

Yes, the zombie spawner. It's a funny thing, KZbin says to put interesting thumbnails to entice viewers, but I don't like giving things away in the thumbnail. I don't think people click on my videos because of the thumbnails, though. Who knows. There are more cave spider spawners that I have not yet destroyed so there is still hope for a spider spawner. So far all treasure maps have proven to be duds. But I'll keep checking - you never know what might happen.

I did know that little trick about bundles. I also know you can instantly empty one into a chest, but for the life of me I can't remember how to do it. I suppose I could look it up, but where's the fun in that. In my Craft it All series I used to use them all the time. I still do, but now I mainly carry around a ton of shulker boxes when travelling far from home - just so I can carry more stuff (not like I need more stuff.)

Nice, real nice.

@blazeranger5279 love you 😁

All my treasure maps have been duds so far. I have given up any hope, but that's no big deal, although a Heart of the Sea would have been nice. Not sure why, but I'm sure I could have found some use for a conduit. And yes, I want to keep my island small. But like I said, I just wanted saplings to give me variety in my wood to work with. I'll just have to dismantle sunken ships. See, if I have prismarine blocks (and the neart of the sea), a conduit would be useful for working underwater.

@@blazeranger5279 Yes, that's too bad. I found a datapack on planetminecraft called oceans only survival by lbrandonl for Minecraft 1.19 to 1.20.2. I haven't tested newer versions. With this datapack you can generate a pure ocean world in 1.20 with ALL ocean biomes AND treasure chests. It also has ocean monuments (they only spawn in deep ocean biomes). I think you would love it. There is no fixed starter island because you create a new world and load a random seed. There are small islands, but not necessarily nearby. You can try different seeds until you find one you like. I played this: 6089693324041552469. How does that sound to you?

Maybe the datapack I mentioned in my other comment is something for you and you want to try and play it?

I forget a lot of sounds - like the ravager. I hear it so rarely. It's just me feeble old brain at work, or in this case, not working.

I like then too. A very good source of ores and wood - especially fences.

Oh, come on - cave spider spawners? What possible use could I have for those monstrosities? Regular spiders - aboslutely. Cave spiders - no thank you . The bity little buggers.

@@blazeranger5279 I also destroy them.

@@Neceros Great minds think alike.

Yeah, me too, but I can't see why I'd keep cave spider spawners. Plus, there are a few more I found that are still kicking around.

@@blazeranger5279 I love cave spider spawners because they are the only ones in vanilla with a high chance of a double spawner. Sometimes even a triple spawner. Good for an early game xp farm. And in this map maybe even the only chance to get wool easily. 😉

@@bit7schubser45 I agree about multiple spawners being close together. As for string, I do have a lot now. Just wait and see what I find in future episodes.

So you're saying I could put a bow on my feet and it would make me move faster? I never knew that. So if I used the bow as leggings, I'd be...bow legged. Dad humor, right? Ya gotta love it.

Well, welcome aboard then! I hope you enjoy the series.

I figured you've caused me sooo much stress over the past several months (but in a good day) that I need a little break before taking on any more of your dungeons. But don't worry, I can't seem to stay away for very long. So in the immortal words of the Terminator - I'll be back!

I was thinking of downloading and playing it too - but he's revealed so much already that I've decided to relax and enjoy watching Ranger play it. I noticed you've been following his videos and often compare notes - do you post videos of your game play as well?

@@chinniewas9995 Unfortunately not. Maybe one day in the future.

It's an ocean biome. It just amazes me how many of these custom worlds have rain within the first day or two. I understand the creator may have spend a huge amount of time working in the world, but what are the odds it's going to rain the first day or two that I'm there. And it happens so often that I notice it. If it rained after a week there, it wouldn't seem odd, but right away? Hmmm...maybe I'll start a vanilla world and see if it happens there. And to be honest, I didn't spent much time looking for the version. I knew the map was a few years old and was going to play it in the current version I had open. I still have episodes of Stranded Dungeons to release so I'm planning to release these on Sundays, unless I get too many ahead and have to release them more often. No real plans yet, I just want to goof around in a vanilla world for awhile.

@@chinniewas9995 I think it would be very interesting if Bit7 released videos, too, but just chatting with him(her?) has been a lot of fun. Plus, Bit7 had provided a lot of hints and tips and pointed out things I've missed - which is always appreciated. I'm sorry I ruined the map for you. I'm sure there's lots more for you to discover if you want to play. I do want to dig even deeper to get deepslate for the roof to my house, so who knows what else is down there. I hope you enjoy the series.

@@blazeranger5279 Yes, that's what I thought. A pure ocean world. Unfortunately, no animals will spawn there. Except the chickens from drowneds or zombies. In a normal world it rains after about 7-10 days. If you constantly suppress the rain by command, it will rain again very quickly. Have you already finished dungeon 1? And will you continue playing the map after that?

So just how far into this map are you?

@@blazeranger5279 Oh I'm still in dungeon 1. I haven't played for a while.

@@bit7schubser45 Good to know. Well, good luck. But you'll be fine.

Cobblestone and baked potatoes. I have sooo many potatoes. It's not the greatest food, but it'll do until something better comes along. Well, that and chickens. I could have bunch of those, too.

Oddly enough, I thought I had scheduled episodes to be released while I took some time off (visiting relatives) but for some reason I only uploaded them and forgot to schedule them. I have fixed that problem and while the next week or so will be a little erratic, I will eventually get back to regular releases.

That's hilarious. I thought maybe spiders were spawning in, falling and dying, and the zombies picked up the string. However, you would think at least one of them would get a spider eye at some point. Ah, the weird things in Minecraft.

@@blazeranger5279 Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Normal mobs like spiders, zombies and creepers spawned when the room was still dark and they can still spawn in dark corners. Spiders then climb up the walls and fall down until they die. They only drop strings. Spider eyes only drop when killed by a player. Just like armor and weapons from zombies and skeletons. Although this can be changed by Neceros. That's why the skeletons from the spawner didn't drop bows. Mobs that pick up items do not despawn and do not count towards the mob cap so that more mobs could spawn. And since only zombies can pick up items, there were so many of them left.

No episode today? 🤔

You got it.

I may hove spoken a little too soon on that. I seem to remember doing something with moss blocks in Chunk Survival(maybe?), but for the life of me can't think of it now. I looked it up on the Wiki and can't find anything so it must just have been my faulty memory. Maybe it was just a way to get a dirt block. Turn cobblestone into moss blocks, then plant a tree on the moss, and when the tree grows the block under it turns to dirt. Maybe that was it. I really only want grass for my overworld island because it looks nice. Maybe I'll just turn it to moss and it looks almost the same. And what's with the green wool in the frog room?

@@blazeranger5279 the frog room was made before the wool room. I wanted an easy way for someone to make bed without resorting to spider hunting. Also, the green room has grass in it. you can just silk touch it

@@Neceros The green room has grass in it? Good lord. I must have missed it. I sure hope I didn't do something with it. I'm afraid to look.

Whew! The grass is still there.

@@blazeranger5279 Yes, what you remember is one way to multiply dirt. Turn stone into moss blocks, then either plant an azalea tree to get a single rooted dirt or plant a 2x2 spruce tree to get lots of podzol. There is unfortunately no way to multiply grass blocks. Grass can only grow from a grass block to dirt.

The frogs were such a pain, to be honest. I don't think I can turn the spawner off, so I got rid of it. I do regret not getting some tadploes, but at the time I didn't have the buckets I have now. I just couldn't see a use for them.

Oh, those parrots were a pain. I don't remember exactly when I went up to the second floor of the blackstone room. I do remember going back and forth between that room and another room so mobs could despawn. I wonder if I deleted that video because it was just opening the room up. I would have only deleted it from the video and still have the original clip. I'll check it out and post it for you if I have it.

I went into the upper part of the blackstone room in Episode 15, around the 31:30 mark. I did get rid of a lot of the birds off screen. There's some animals you just don't record killing, birds, bees, horses, all the friendly guys that you don't eat, I guess. There were just sooo many of them. And why do they want to get into the next room so bad? Four actually did get in there.

@blazeranger5279 somehow I missed that. Musta been picking my nose

@@Neceros Realllll nice. I'm glad my videos are keeping you amused! 🤣

I found the map helps put things into perspective. And that's why I think the warden is next tot he wool room. That and the fact he spawned when I was in the wool room. And, it helped me solve your riddle. I could not have done it without the map. Just call me Dora.

I still don't know what the color puzzle is all about. And to be honest, I forget about it lately. I'm almost done the dungeon (I think) but don't remember seeing anything related to those colors. I'll give it some thought. And thanks on 400 subs. As you know I'm the worst at promoting my own channel, but for me I don't care if I only had 1 sub. If people are enjoying the content then I'm happy.

I think I've cracked the black - red - black - green - red code. I don't want to give away any secrets, but let me know if you want to know how it works.

@@blazeranger5279 I also have an idea what it could mean. Maybe you can share your thoughts at the end of the dungeon?

@@bit7schubser45 Oops! I already shared my thoughts in my latest recording. Although, my latest recording is Episode 17 so it'll be awhile until you see it. By then you'll probably have figured it out. Knowing doesn't really change the game but it could make you finish the dungeon quicker.

@@blazeranger5279 Since I always clear all the rooms anyway, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm just curious.^^ Uhh, 17. Then you're way ahead again. xD

Thank you. It surprises even me, but I'm grateful.

At least I didn't say, 'Sorry!' I probably missed what I was aiming for when lighting them on fire. I'll have to watch to see what happened.

@@blazeranger5279 I'm just joshin on ya. <3

@@Neceros Maybe, but now I'm curious. Did I really say that? It actually sounds like something I'd say.

@@Neceros I saw that. I have no idea what I was thinking.

Good lord - how do you this stuff? I guess I just play vanilla too much so expect things to work in here like they do in a vanilla world. What am I thinking - I should know better.

@@blazeranger5279 Don't worry. I'm a nerd. My head is full of useless knowledge.^^ 🤣And knowing how something works doesn't mean I can apply it while playing it myself.😆

@@bit7schubser45 I know exactly what you mean. There's lots of stuff I know but can never seem to remember it when I need it.

There are a lot of things I didn't think Neceros could do, but some of the stuff he's shown me over the last few months just amazes me.

I totally remember this map. You're going to have a ton of fun playing it. I hope you enjoy it.
