18 Life-Ruining Mistakes To Avoid In Minecraft

[@InitialDreadly]

17:46 The one exception to this is nether gold. No one seems to realise that if you smelt nether gold ore you get a gold ingot instead of gold nugget. This also works out to be more than using fortune 3 on the same block because you rarely if ever get 9 nuggets per block but will always get that with silk touch and a furnace.

[@theboxygenie]

good tip to know!

[@gtasthehunter]

correct name of this block is "Nether Gold Ore" and also if you get silk touch before fortune it doesn't really matter if you smelt ore like iron or gold ore you'll only get 1 raw ore without fortune which is the same as smelting it., so if have iron ore better to just smelt instead of trying to get 1 raw iron but if have fortune then use best fortune you have. And using Silk Touch saves slots spaces so you can mine for longer

[@InitialDreadly]

@@gtasthehunter If you're going to try and be a smart ass, at least spell the word correctly. I also DID call it "nether gold ore" in the second line (not that it even makes a difference). The comment was exclusively about "nether gold ore" and nothing else because very few people realise that you can even do this.

[@remiicatboy]

​@@gtasthehunter the confidently incorrect is leaking out of this comment hard

[@shinymainespoon]

You're half right; Fortune 3 can give a maximum of 24 nuggets from a single nether gold ore block. However, Fortune is a _chance_ , so the average is only 8.8 nuggets per. On a similar note, _mining_ nether gold ore yields 0-1 xp while _smelting_ it is a guaranteed 1 xp. Silk Touch is absolutely the better choice here, but Fortune 3 can work in a pinch.

A tip for villages you find that you want to save and return to later… Instead of placing lights down everywhere you can just ring the bell in the village, causing all the villagers to rush indoors, and then seal each villager inside the homes using one dirt block in front of the door. Just seems faster and is way safer for your villagers! 🎉

In addition to the off hand inventory slot, Minecraft needs a "wrist" slot that can take either a clock or compass. When equipped, the clock or compass will display next to the "paper avatar" in the top left corner of the screen. Recovery compass should get a new enchant that allows you to keep it when you die. "Permanence I", maybe.

@@Torpax_ that's a cool thought. I was thinking just for the compass but it's actually a useful alternative to mending. Mending gear used around the base and permanence when adventuring. Even a mix sounds good. A permanence sword and chest could be great if you die in combat. You'd be able to go get your stuff with a little bit of kit already in hand

[@Torpax_]

@@TrialBySquire even if it could only go on combat and adventure related items, that would be fair!

[@goodrabbi7176]

Hot Tip: I only put one type of ore in the furnace, and that ore is nether gold ore. Either break it with fortune to get some nuggets(not even remotely enough to make an ingot), or smelt the block for one Ingot every time!

[@Abegilr_Dragonrider]

That is so useful to know. Thank you! I will be doing that in the future.

[@musicalfrogman8165]

A related tip is that you can put raw ore blocks in a furnace to get regular iron/gold/copper blocks.

#1 - Learned this little Chestnut when I left a shulker box on my end platform to store my gear before falling off the world, then came back to find it gone forever....

[@seandun7083]

A tree being too close to another is a bedrock exclusive as far as I'm aware. In Java I regularly cut down large amounts of wood by growing a bunch of trees right next to each other. 2x2 Jungle trees are the main exception though since vines will block tree growth. Nether trees are also sort of annoying because while warped and normal wart blocks won't stop growth, they also can't be overwritten by new nether wood meaning you need to manually clear them out before planting another tree there. They also don't burn or despawn unlike other leaf types making them so much more of a pain to farm. Be careful putting haste 2 beacons near geodes since you don't want to accidentally instant mine the budding blocks.

[@cornbreadbutcringey5723]

i don't play java edition often enough to know how exactly trees work there, but a lot of other people that talk about not putting trees too close to each other do play primarily java. are you perhaps farming oak trees? oak trees specifically can be grown next to each other on (as far as i'm aware) all editions.

[@seandun7083]

@@cornbreadbutcringey5723 Oak trees, 2x2 spruce trees (not sure about 1x1), acacia, birch and cherry are all perfectly fine. The main reason to not do so would be making sure you get enough saplings back. I can't remember if I've tried dark oak before since the sapling return even with a fortune 3 hoe isn't the best. I assume 1x1 jungle trees work as long as you plant and grow them 1 at a time because 2x2 don't since they have vines. Mangroves are weird since they have a wide base, sometimes delete nearby saplings and can replace vines but yeah they can be grown together. Nether ones can but give less wood for reasons mentioned earlier. So in general planting trees right next to each other in an 8x8 or even 16x16 grid and bonemealing them has been fine.

I use the clock and compass quite often. Yes, the recipe also shows the time, as does looking at the sky, but at my skeleton farm I just put a clock above the drop chute to know when to keep my village safe. As for the compass, I like to go to some far off coordinates in my Nether, build a portal then trek back home with the compass and see what I come across on the journey. I am three armour trims shy of a full set.

There is a small time when you may want to smelt ore blocks, on the skyblock server I play on has an exp system for a lot of different things and smelting is one of them. And doing ore blocks gives way more than anything else. So I set up a cobble generator asap and upgrade it asap to get easy early game money

About rockets and Elytra: I'm very frugal when it comes to rockets (can't be bothered to build a farm) and you can get a lot of mileage out of 1 rocket if used wisely. You can easily get 600 blocks out. 800 is possible too, and I'm trying to see if I can reach 1000 blocks on 1 rocket.
