the looting exploit has been patched. a looting sword in your offhand will NO LONGER affect drop rates. Instead, you must have the looting sword in your main hand, and fire your bow from your off hand.

Nice

[@chancehynes-mcguire6124]

I get it’s been patched so this question is more rhetorical but; if I had a looting 3 in off hand and another in main would it have been looting 6 then??

[@retrotek0409]

The armor dispenser is awesome! I like the underwater sugar cane air pocket too. I knew about doors, but not sugar cane. No matter how much wiki I read or videos I watch, you always present an unknown piece of knowledge. Thank you EyeCraftMC!

[@moarsaur]

@@LUCKYFETT Were you on Bedrock ("Minecraft for Windows" or any console)? I've heard doors don't work on Bedrock, not sure about sugarcane - will be trying it out.

[@vovasyhin7219]

It would be awesome if you did a mob spawning differences video, other youtubers only mention how mobs can only spawn in darkness and torches providing double the effect, what nobody is taking about: Elevation, Mob Caps, Distance for Spawning and best ways to improve spawn rates! As everything i learnt prior 1.18 does no longer apply! I've been trying to find more information but most other youtubers know what they are talking about half the time!

[@totallyfrozen]

So torches make mobs spawn twice as fast? I’d heard surrounding your house with torches will keep the mobs away.

[@meoff7602]

Special note about lava. Lava conitues to burn even when smelter is empty. Not a big deal, just means it will last for one stack. Unless you use a hopper system. Than lava really shines.

[@lokalnyork]

Isn't that true for all fuels tho? Just be sure to have hoppers, big stacks of materials to smelt and "Caverns of Isengard" playing in background.

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

I still prefer to use as little non-respawning stuff as possible, so I go with charcoal right from the start (a few sticks to make the first block, from then on just charcoal), and later Blaze rods from a Blaze farm 🙃

[@kvarner6886]

It would've been useful to mention that some of these don't work on bedrock. I.e. The doors for breathing, the off-hand sword, etc.

Good video length and speed, also the right amount of information AND told in a way that keeps one interested; well done! Edit: Plus the no-nonsense edit with subscribe request AFTER the video is well appreciated 🙏

[@fish5746]

Definitely agree

[@LifeHawkeye]

Wow the armor trick is amazing! Until I get a backup set of Diamond armor enchanted with fire resistance IV, I’m going to set this rig up so that when I enter the nether, I’ll step right onto the pressure plates and have a full set of trashy iron armor put on me right away. I wonder if there’s a way to reverse that process to have all of your armor removed as well?? This was great though thanks.

[@animehair05silently88]

Quick tip, if you have max level enchantments you're just as well off with only one piece having fire protection and the rest having normal protection in probably all cases since protection also reduces how much damage fire does. It does reduce it by less, but there's a maximum to how much any protection reduces any damage anyways. (Fire prot does reduce how *long* you're on fire for though so it's not identical) (also if you're only going for one type, multiple lower level fire protections also work just fine)

[@feenboi8930]

@@animehair05silently88 what

[@animehair05silently88]

@@feenboi8930 because of how minecraft caps the defense that protection enchants give you (specifically, full prot 5 goes over the maximum that gets applied), having 3 prot 5 pieces of armor and one fire prot or blast protection or projectile protection piece is about as good in general as full prot 5 but better against whatever specific damage type the specialized protection works against. And normal protection works against all damage types, including fire. Therefore *if you're getting maxxed out armor anyway* , i believe the only real advantage of having more than one piece of armor have fire protection instead of normal protection is probably how it reduces *how long* you're on fire for if you catch on fire in the first place, if you're trying to use your armor to mitigate fire damage.

[@animehair05silently88]

Tldr normal protection works against fire damage too. It does do so less well but because of how minecraft caps things, max level normal protection is mostly just as good and you can swap one piece of normal prot with fire prot if you're worried about fire

[@fujigulmer3514]

You’re channel has been a life saver since I started my minecraft phase again, you think you can make a video on how to use the cartography table?

[@logandihel]

Man I wish I would have known about the oak door trick. I got trapped in a underwater cave when I realized that torches no longer work for air pockets, and proceeded to drown about 15 times in a row in an effort to reclaim my items before the despawned

[@cancelhandles]

If you manage to build a tiny chamber for your head with 4 closed sides, you can place a torch and swim into it for air.

So much has changed, my dude!

[@moondrt]

8:00 also instead of wood gate on wood fence, you can put one stone fence and it will not connect to the wood fence and the gap will be too small for animals to pass but you will be able to pass. I think it looks better than the wool carpet, also works if you have stone fence pen and put one wood fence in

[@LLLadySSS]

In my old world I had an armor dispensing chamber for all of the different dimensions. One for the overworld, one for the nether and one for the end. With corresponding stones (themes) around the dispensers. Was cool but had no real use

[@meoff7602]

Red stoning is all about the cool.

[@LLLadySSS]

@@meoff7602 hahah true that. But it's even cooler of it has a use! If it's just sitting there taking space it feels like the trouble you went through to fix the Redstone was useless hahah

[@atikhasan8039]

Your videos are really informative.

[@Eyecraftmc]

Glad you think so!

[@3DavyJones]

The carpet trick is the same as the trap door one, albeit cheaper. However I found an equally interesting method which doesn't protect the herd from external mobs. You simply make the trap face inward. The friendly mobs can't jump it (I think the villagers are also included) but you can. It's very useful when you have to wall a herd. Just lure them with food and bring them in. They can't get out!

[@TheBohobemeister]

As always, wonderful video!

[@secretagent-noodles]

The very useful thing that I've applied always is that I use lava bucket for cooking and smelting even before the caves and cliffs update because lava bucket is more efficient. You either find a temporary lava pool nearby your base or create a nether portal and if you're lucky, you might be near to a lava there, infinite lava buckets. In the late game, you might have materials for pistons observer bamboo etc. Then you can make a automatic bamboo farm for fuel for cooking or smelting.

[@magnus_caseus1566]

[@cuboembaralhado8294]

Also some about jukeboxes, like where you get the disks

[@BCaptain]

If you place a wood fence next to a sandstone fence. It creates a small gap that won't allow the adult animals to get out, but the babies can on occasion when it's filled up. :)

[@gavingraves8748]

Sadly doors don’t work anymore. Don’t know about sugarcane but I’ll try it out rn

[@Eli_Lamb]

Love seeing other people using the carpet trick with fences. My favorite thing about carpet!

2:30 bro so you have to open all chests to know what to put inside first. i go with signs nd whatnot :D free of LVL charge! (also an anvil that early is expensive...

Man, the lava bucket trick... I love you! The amount of coal I go through is nuts, this is gonna save me bags of time and effort. Cheers!

[@redassassingaming3723]

Man... That sugarcane trick gives me nostalgia. I used to use that trick all the time when I'm underwater. Minecraft didn't has swimming back then, so I would bring stacks of sugarcanes to make a little walk way underwater. I really miss those days when Minecraft was simpler.

[@poporp]

Not sure if this has been said already but looting has to be in your main hand to work, you can still use the bow in the offhand so it's possible to get the looting effect still

[@ningyounk5978]

The "Put slabs on the side of your walls to prevent spiders from climbing" tip in is quite hilarious with the example in the video considering it would have taken about half the slabs to just put a roof on the thing xD

[@arrkkious1236]

An extra tip I would add to the lava bucket smeling is you can make pointed dripstone drip into a cauldron to get infinite lava, so you don't have to run to where ever lava is

[@sebastianstammer9265]

I have a lava lake system that gets me infinite lava in the nether

[@snparashar5990]

hey eyecraft mc i really like your videos can you do a blaze spawner guide? it is pretty crucial part of the game and it would really help me and many others

[@NihinduAngana]

that dispenser trick is awesome thank you!

[@AdamSmith-rp9ej]

Another wonderful video! Great tips for sure. total game changer to use buckets of lava for smelting. The breathing underwater stuff makes it so easy to explore any where underwater now :D

[@dDbalL-to7rt]

[@Niknokinater]

Oh wow, two things I actually didn't know- The Chest names & the looting bow. Thanks !

[@serwalkerofthekeynes8761]

As a newer player, best tip I can offer I resetting a new world a few times until you find a village nearby. Having houses and beds, chests and food plus a few stations for crafting, makes a huge difference for a budding player 👍

[@ghostlyshooter3402]

I'll tell you an even better way friend so you don't waste storage instead of resetting worlds run out and immediately find sheep if you cannot find sheep find string you'll have a bed to skip night breaking grass gives wheat seeds and you'll have a lil farm and then you can search for villagers within the same world

[@yoshuatree8538]

The water breathing and armour Despenser are absolutely amazing tips thank you thank you!

[@MrSammotube]

That chest naming thing blew my mind - so simple, but never thought of it!

[@DedicatedCaffeineUser]

Another way you could make a fence that only the player can get over both ways is to put trapdoors on the ground and flip them up so they’re all facing outwards. The player can get over the 1 block that the trapdoor occupies no problem, but mobs can only enter from the outside

[@jake_4892]

I’m 99% certain the looting bow trick doesn’t actually work. As you can see he only gets 2 mutton and 1 wool per sheep at most, an amount that is feasible without looting. Looting 3 should give you 3-5 mutton (I don’t know how much wool it gives), and as we see he gets nowhere near that amount

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

For the spider-proof walls, it's enough to use one slab every other block since spiders are two blocks wide. Saves resources :)

[@hanlore13]

The only thing I'd say about renaming chests is that it can get really expensive pretty quickly if you hoard a bunch of items like me and want them all in separate chests. I'd just keep using item frames. But I build items sorters for them anyway. Early game and small bases renaming is fine enough if you only have a few things you want to store.
