10 Tips and Tricks for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3

[@Sagojika]

It feels so weird to have a beta tips and tricks video in 2024 but i love it.

[@JoeTheDauntless]

‘Tis great.

[@caosin3667]

There are people that play this version more than modern for a variety of reason, one of those is that modern has a bloat of items that appear useless for most of the times

[@caosin3667]

@@froggystyle9068 arrogant response, whit a lack of understanding of other's reasoning, but lets break down your comment 'first because of nostalgia' pretty weak and easely deniable point, do you really think people play for months or even years just because of nostalgia? If people really played for nostalgia, they would play the old versions for untill nostalgia wears off, and then quit like most modern version players whit their 2 week phase 'need to feel superior to others' i never saw someone pretending to be superior to someone else for playing an old MC version, but your response very much looks like someone that wants to feel superior to others

[@NonameAtall-o1d]

Believe or not, there's more people that play these older versions than you think. The reasons are varied: simplicity, nostalgia, texture design and the list goes on

TIP 3.5: If you shear a sheep's death animation you get 1 extra wool block. 1 from it dying and 1-3 wool from shearing it.

[@FrostPocketGaming]

I tried this in the past and i cant seem to get the technique to work, i'm probably just bad though.

[@Moresteck]

it's actually 2-4 wool from shearing sheep in b1.7.3. i use this technique every time i go sheep hunting

[@spacetextadventure5619]

@@FrostPocketGaming I use shears to kill them so I don't have to switch quickly to them once i kill them. Sheep take 5 hits to kill with shears (same as fists). However, if you're attacking from an elevation difference, from water, or if the sheep has already taken some damage, the count can be different. I recommend making sure you're attacking from the same y-level, and that the sheep is close to you and isn't jumping when you deliver the death blow. It's also good to keep in mind that the sheep's hitbox doesn't fall over with the death animation. I usually try to shear the sheep very quickly after I kill it, so it doesn't have time to get knocked away. Also worth noting that you can dye a sheep before you shear it, which means you can use dyes more efficiently (average of 4 wool per dye!). I have flower, cactus, and skeleton farms for dyes as well as a spider farm for wool, but I still use this method for colors that require lapis or ink sacs.

[@KidsCastable]

@@FrostPocketGaming use the number keys to quickly switch between hotbar slots. I shear and immediately press the number of the hotbar slot for my sword and click. Doing this, the timing window is quite lenient

As a person who has dug a large hole in Minecraft beta, I appreciate the large hole you have dug.

[@gobuns2]

I always tried digging large holes for me to sit in when I was little and I always gave up 1/4th of the way. wonder if I will ever dig the remaining 3/4ths in other areas of life before I die. the hardness of the work limits my ability of thinking. even in minecraft building, as in minding the available big 3d spaces and their looks.

Literally a decade plus after last playing beta, I still remember all the tips mentioned here. Amazing how powerful nostalgia can be

@mantyywhat are you guys talking about?

[@vermin5367]

I remember it happening to me on an early bedrock version. I was sleeping in an open cave as I had done many times before, only to get jump-scared by a Skelly. Because of that, I always thought the monsters could just "walk" into my cave while I was sleeping, so I sealed it up after nearly dying to them a couple times haha.

[@ketaminepoptarts]

​@@granthefato340basically back in the beta days of minecraft if you slept somewhere that wasnt properly lit there was a chance for a zombie or skeleton to spawn nearby and wake you up

[@Jamseth_Ingramious]

That F11 issue has been an enormous pain in the neck when I used to play on 1.2 back in 2012, as well as recently my recent b1.7.3 modpack. Just as I find a mod to fix it, this video shows up with a very easy fix.

[@FrostPocketGaming]

After rewatching the video, there are a few things that could probably do with a bit of clarifying. 4:50. A sword breaks ALL blocks 1.5x faster than your fists do. Things like stairs, crafting tables and ladders that don't break any faster when using a tool are therefore faster to break with a sword. 7:13. Diamonds are most frequent between y=5 and y=16, therefore anywhere between these values is optimal. Mining at y=12 exposes blocks above you but it still might technically be slightly less optimal because veins above you could in theory spawn less frequently due to being above y=16. I believe y=10 gives you the most diamonds for distance travelled but then you'd have to deal with annoying lava pools so I don't think its really worth it. I can usually get about half a stack of diamonds per hour of mining at y=12 and its far more convenient. 8:41. Birch trees are technically optimal to farm if you need planks since they don't grow branches and they have more logs per tree on average, I pretty much only farm oak since i use the logs in builds mostly.

[@Tepiloxtl]

What I have personally learned back in the day is to mine for diamonds at y11, though it's an interesting question if diamond ores spawn less the closer to y16 you are?

[@JonTwoFour]

I just randomly started playing this version of minecraft again then 3 days later I get this video in my recommended lmao. Back when beta 1.3 came out I had just started playing and by the time 1.7 came out was when I really started getting addicted to the game. This version of minecraft is the best imo. Great video!

[@FrostPocketGaming]

Thank you!

[@Fenderbenne]

At first i thought it was for a future beta/snapshot but then I realised, and kept watching. Blast from the past.

[@NineHundredDollarydoos]

I can understand what you mean about the duping feeling too 'cheaty', but I feel that using it for builds that require large amounts of glass is fair game. It's certainly preferable to stripping your beaches and deserts of all their sand and making them look ugly as sin.

[@FrostPocketGaming]

yeah i can understand the arguments for duping and I dont shun people for doing it. Gravel is what i'd use it for most however and you can get gravel underground so it doesnt destroy landscape. Perhaps i'd dupe sand if i needed a huge amount of glass for something.

[@fenn_fren]

Yep. On my server I set up shops where people can just buy entire stacks of sand, dirt, gravel and other such blocks because I don't want them to just dig out the world.

[@Theolibaa]

Man these are actually great tips, especially the sword one. I just started a beta world with some friends so it’s super useful

I don't know if this tip still applies since this is a loose memory from 2009 or 2010 but you used to be able to light a log or netherrack on fire and animals would spawn around it during the night time since it had light, and they would walk into the fire and die and give you free cooked food.

12:12 You can also hit F3 to see underground mob's nametags

[@aras588]

Always have a water bucket on a accessible slot which you don't need to scroll to because it can save you from a lava pool and don't mine at y-13 because if you fall, you may not be able to get back again and leave after you have no food and at 3 hearts or lower because a mob or lava pool can easily kill you.

It's SO refreshing to see this kind of video if a little nostalgic. Ty for making this 🙏

[@koruton9925]

This game look cool. I can't wait to see how popular it gets in a year

[@-Hari-03]

man watching these tips brings me back to my childhood discovering all of these things for myself purely by experimentation. i remember accidentally using my sword to mine something and noticing it being faster and then seeing exactly what that applied to. i remember wondering what would happen to gravel/sand if i picked it up off the ground with a sticky piston and then finding it fascinating that it just falls down again (i was a kid lol) so i spammed the lever and got infinite sand/gravel. i remember stip mining coming to me in an epiphany in maths class (i think from whatever we were doing with shapes in geometry that day). i remember doing the mining trick where you click every time to save time (i think they should bring that back btw), i never encountered the nightmare feature because i would always either sleep in my bed at my base or dig myself a cubby in the side of a hill or cave if i was exploring, but cool to know it was a thing. this video brought back a PLETHORA of memories and hours and hours of gameplay i had forgotten about. i remember what my first bases looked like, i remember that wonderous feeling of playing minecraft without knowing what was what and slowly discovering everything for myself. this video brought me almost to tears. thank you

[@rielzedrielzed]

thankl you so much, ive started playing the 404 challenge and these tips really came in clutch

Whats the 404 challenge? I'd assume its like a no internet Early Minecraft Playthrough thing right?

@@crunch.dot.73 in Beta 1.7.3, if you use the seed 404, you get a world where nearby is a gravel pit with a cave under it. You have a day to get supplies before you go under the cave and have to survive down there.

Really nice world dude. I play beta too, I usually play 1.5 (I had picked that version when I was younger cuz 5 is my favourite number). I dont like tall grass and the new cobblestone texture in 1.7.3 though... Thats why I havent changed yet. Can you make a video showing us your world? Some of the buildings I saw are quite impressive. My beta builds are trying to look like they were built in 2011. Your buildings on the other hand, use the old blocks but with the new era styling. Pretty cool man

[@redtrychguy8676]

I just saw youve already made a world tour. Omw to watch it

[@FrostPocketGaming]

Thank you for the lovely comment! I have watched a lot of modern building tutorials so a lot of my builds use those sorts of building principles since thats what im more used to. I've been trying to experiment with new building pallets and styles and the results are.... interesting. I love the tall grass personally, it adds so much depth and makes my base feel complete. I despise the old cobblestone texture though, It looks like TV static to me.

[@basicmudkip5985]

There is a texture pack to get the oldest graphics

[@Byron-Hungerford]

@@FrostPocketGaminghaha im the complete opposite my building style did progress past the 1.6 era building style so my beta builds feel very beta (not that there any good lol)

This is a trip down memory lane. I remember playing Minecraft like this. The game has changed so much. I'm not sure I can remember all the mechanics of it now...

[@d_wigz6418]

The thing in the mines with labeling the amount of diamonds found and stuff is a neat idea, gonna do that in my next world, no matter the version I'm on.

[@Another_Dusk]

The fence mecanics under crops is neat, i didn't know that even in 2011

[@Providence83]

In alpha, if you put fences under stairs, they were unusable because their hit box pokes above that of stairs (the same reason it works with tilled soil here). I liked it a lot for making fake staircases for PVP defense, as you can't even jump up them.

[@kodokuj]

[@mdundy0872]

The colors? 🤔

[@superubergoober]

the new texture pack, color saturation, or nostalgia probably

[@tails183]

I have a Beta 1.8 world and have two things to add on to the mining tips, assuming they aren't here already. 1.) Swapping the sword to something else last moment will save the durability. 2.) Mining at the very edge of your reach distance is faster with timing clicks. I don't know the speed difference, but it can instant mine dirt, sand, and gravel.

[@svgaming234]

The video has some excellent tips but i think you missed one. When you use the F3 menu the mobs have ID names above their heads which you can see through blocks so it is useful as an X-Ray as well.

[@FrostPocketGaming]

that is a good one yeah. I'll definitely include in in the sequel!

[@WereBearPlays]

I'm playing in infdev right now, and that click mining trick helps a lot since I've been doing a lot of digging. Nice video!

[@matheuscabral9618]

Thank you, I've been getting into beta recently and these are very useful!

[@RocoPwnage]

Oh man you don't even realise how much this game has changed until you see the older versions. I still think the old terrain and color palette were 10x better than what we have now. Also this video made me remember how controversial it was when Mojang introduced the hunger bar and sprint. I remember going into my world, building a 4 block gap and being amazed that I can jump over it. Seeing old Minecraft makes me wish someone made a version that has all the QoL updates of modern Minecraft, but otherwise no changes.

[@PixelRunnerYT]

As for the sand/gravel dupe, you don't actually need to click the lever every time and time it correctly. If you hold down right click, it's timed perfectly.

[@FrostPocketGaming]

I'm not sure if this is true since it seems to be heavily affected by lag and framerate and is therefore different on each machine. Thats why i have the lever above so i dont load and mobs below the ground.

[@El_Presidente_5337]

I still remember the old farmland fence post trick :D

[@Providence83]

Converse to stunting trees to be small, I think something that's always been in the game since large trees were added (and still works now) is forcing large trees to grow with a glass block placed above a torch diagonal to the sapling. It will work with enough bone meal or can grow naturally left alone but the game statistically _hates_ this because it means it checks the sapling every tick, then checks a call to try and grow it, then will choose a tree to grow out of the list, and if it's a small one the entire thing will be aborted. So doing this may take a while, so it's more a set-it-and-forget-it method.

[@SilverMiner]

12:42 Impressive, it's even dangerous when used improperly! I once tried glowstone and a minecart in beta 1.9 - and steve died of suffocating

[@jackjenny8111]

im pretty sure the “click mining” trick still applies in modern versions? one thing to add is it’s more worthwhile the faster the block would be mined. like if ur mining coal w a wooden pick, saving .25 sec per block isnt a huge deal. but if ur digging sand with a diamond shovel, .25 sec per block is very significant

[@PrimordialNightmare]

I don't quite remember, was this before or after they fixed the wooden slab "bug"? Back in some version I remember, wooden slabs were erronously considered stone by the game. which meant you needed to break them wiht a pickaxe, but they were also fireproof. I remember building a fireproof wood house just before the update hit. I believe they fixed it when introducing different wood types. not by fixing the old block, but rather by creating a now block "oak wood slab" and making the old one inaccesable.
