9:33 I once got a month banned from InfuseSMP because I used my subtitles… I ran across the world shortly after a big reset and heard lava pops without seing lava. I used the little left-right arrow in the subtitles to find it and dug down, landing on the chest of a buried ruined portal. I lootet it and seconds later I suddenly saw all my items flying through the air as if I had died (I hadn't) and a second later I was on the "You've been banned" screen, with the reason being "Xray". I've never played there since.

Regarding the fortune trick, don't waste a fortune book on a hoe, enchant a pickaxe and use that to both multiply your ores and crops, since it also doesn't use the tool's durability when harvesting them, making the tool all that more efficient.

[@themythicleader]

[@JoJoGaminG36]

I mean when you have a Fortune selling Villager it doesn't really matter if you have a separate hoe or not.

[@maxvanboven9456]

While it's true that you can make as many hoes as you want, extra tool clutter is undesirable in the long run. Fortune on crops is great. Fortune on a hoe... there are just way too many arguments to pick silk touch instead.

[@Nyerguds]

@@maxvanboven9456 yea, only argument I could come up with for a fortune hoe is getting jungle saplings from leaves.

[@Joaquin__]

if you play with mcmmo you wont get herbalism benefits if you use a pickaxe

[@Parabolic_Blocks]

Also, eating a chorus fruit makes you teleport straight down when flying using elytra, so it's useful then too.

[@Trigorastronomology]

I know why endermen don’t like water. Cause their teleportation is disabled if they are in water for too long. Just like the fruit.

I assume the chorus fruit trick works because the game is looking for a two tall air block it can teleport you to. Specifically looking for air blocks meaning it ignores water blocks.

[@dementionalpotato]

yeah it simulates the random endermen teleportation but for player height so if youre in crawl its 1 high

[@smelly4498]

11:14 you can also combine tools in your crafting grid and still get the bonus to durability, you can even combine enchanted tools but the enchantments do get destroyed and you don't get any experience for it. handy for when you're in the early game so your stone and iron tools last a bit longer.

[@MineSlimeTV]

That is correct, however a thing you can do with a grindstone is conserving curses by placing a book underneath it, if I hope I'm not mistaken, but either way the idea of a 'cursed' library but instead of malicious foreboding knowledge it's just a storage unit of stuff people might not want

[@SubtotalStar850-uh8pg]

But you don't get as much of a boost in total if you use the standard crafting grid

The “lotsa iron in mountain biomes” tip is an understatement. One time I got an entire inventory full of stacks of iron and emeralds. Excluding space for iron pickaxe. And there were still more iron left

[@shelliK18]

green moss blocks are almost as fast as slime blocks and dynamite, I use them.(ref- @10:30 ) dig torch down one, place carpet over it for great hidden lighting. - better for bedrock than java (ref @20:27) thanks for the mud sugarcane idea! (ref @23:16) - I usually use a hopper cart under a row, this could help (if you have tonnes of iron)

[@osasunaitor]

13:16 Quartz is hands down my favourite material in the game. It's really abundant in the Nether and easy to mine, each block drops a lot of ore with a Fortune enchanted pickaxe, mining it gives generous amounts of XP, and above all Quartz blocks look gorgeous for building. I'm currently building myself a Quartz tower base in the Overworld and I'm very pleased with the result, it's my most beautiful base so far :D

[@bennyl9228]

#6: Tipped arrows are way too expensive, especially at the point in the game that you'd be exploring caves. In fact, poitons usually come after you're done with spelunking.

[@pixelgaming7261]

Quick caveat for tip #26: Only do this for non-enchanted tools, otherwise the enchantment will be gone. Does this remove curses?

[@cornbreadbutcringey5723]

yup ^w^

[@pixelgaming7261]

​@@cornbreadbutcringey5723 So don't be frustrated if you read this and repair enchanted goods using a crafting table. Maybe use a grindstone instead, as you get a small XP bonus when you use the grindstone instead of the crafting table. You still shouldn't use this for enchanted goods though.

[@cornbreadbutcringey5723]

I assume this happens with the chorus fruit underwater trick because water would be regarded as a block (in files) and therefore you can't teleport inside a block.

For #12, a.k.a. the Orientation Trick, you don't absolutely need a tool that has a sufficient efficiency on it; you just need incredible timing in order to do it

[@ChrisJeanninOfficial]

27:31 - There’s a wayyyyyyy easier way to make a bonemeal generator. Much more efficient too Make however high you want your tower of chests (at least 8 blocks high for the generator). Make a 4x4x4 chicken hole on top, place hoppers under the chickens, then fertilizer bins, then hoppers, then another layer of chests (you can put as many layers of chests and hoppers as you want). Feed the chickens seeds until you’re satisfied with the amount you have (you can do this almost endlessly). Your chicken eggs will turn to fertilizer, then to bonemeal. No complicated redstone projects. You’re welcome. 😁

[@mitchratka3661]

[@SJrad]

Bring doors, tnt, slime/honey blockt, and redstone blocks when going to ocean monuments. doors offer air pockets and block guardians line of sight. Due to slime/honey blocks can still be insta-mined while under the effect of mining fatigue. Mon the outside of the structure near where the rooms that elder guardians are located, Place tnt and surround all but 1 side with any block, and then the last side with a redstone block. This will blast a hole through the monument allowing for easy access to the elder guardians because the tnt isn’t technically submerged in water

Oh just started watching, but if you're wondering why'd you want to eat Chorus Fruit for the sake of it: you can eat it while your hunger bar is full to slowly refill your saturation. It's actually pretty hard to top up your saturation bar by eating more conventional food, but if you're, say, going into a combat situation where you'd want to delay worrying about your hunger a little bit, you could set up some water and eat some Chorus Fruit. Of course you could argue being hungry during combat is actually beneficial since that will let you eat Golden Apples but I digress
