Dripstone Is OP In Minecraft 1.20 - Lava Farming, Traps, Renewable Clay & More!

[@Myreactionwhen_80085]

Drip stone was even more op when it first came out. Back then you could have water above it like in the water farm, but then put potions in the cauldrons and it would actually raise the level of the potion. Meaning you could actually have an infinite *potion* farm as long as you don't collect the bottom level of potion

[@B463L]

Pro tip: mud can be made with coarse dirt. This means you can take gravel from a piglin barter farm, craft it with whatever dirt you were going to use, and make twice as much mud. Some renewable fanatics might till coarse dirt into dirt and repeat the process, but personally I think tilling coarse dirt probably takes more effort than just instamining naturally-generated dirt. If I ever need tons of mud or clay, I'm going to craft gravel from piglin barters and naturally-generated dirt into coarse dirt & convert that directly into mud.

[@petercarioscia9189]

Wait… if you are in a 1.20 sky block world you could technically get to the nether in the following theoretical steps. Step 1 is to grind for a while normally until you have a surplus of wood and cobblestone and then build a mob farm. Step 2 is to collect all the drops until you get 144 gold armor or tool pieces, that number because you can smelt a gold armor piece for one nugget, nine nuggets make an ingot, and eight ingots and an apple make a golden apple, which you need two of. Step 3 is to make a few boats and capture a witch and two zombie villagers. You can do this by making a giant platform. Step 4 is making the witch throw a weakness potion at you which hits the zombie villagers in the crossfire. You can now heal the zombie villagers with your golden apples if they did get hit. Step 5 turn one of them into a fishermen, which has fish and string trades, those are things you can get in sky block. Step 6. You now have emeralds, turn the platform that helped you capture the villagers and witch into a wandering trader farm which is just a place to wait for a trader to spawn. Step 7. Eventually you will get a trader trade for dripstone, buy it. Step 8. While you were grinding for all the gold armor you also had a good chance of passively getting rare iron drops from zombies. If you were lucky, enough to build a cauldron, if not, grind more. Step nine. Collect the lava, the cauldron, some blocks, and the dripstone and create infinite lava which you can turn into obsidian using the speed runner portal strategy. Step 10. Their is no flint available yet for flint and steel so you have to get the lava to burn a piece of wood to light the portal. You now have a video idea and a way to get into the nether on skyblock. Also, you don’t really need two villagers, I was thinking that you needed a tool smith for a diamond pickaxe, but no, you don’t, I was simply too lazy to say that earlier.

My guess is 1000 for the lava renewal section. Took about 3-4 seconds for half of them to fill up once he sped up tick speed, he said it takes an average of 20 minutes. 4 seconds is 300 times shorter than 20 minutes and default tick speed is 3 so a little faster than 4 seconds is a little faster than 900 tick speed, 1000.

Part of me was hoping that as well the dripstone could help with potion making. I know that normally if water is interacted with cauldron with a potion in it it completely evaporates and is destroyed but I think the exception should be the stalactites. I mean think about it you have a potion by say one level or you put one bottle in the cauldron. It should be a thing where the water drips in there and it can raise the level of the potion up till it's full. So that one potion can turn into three very easily and you get a renewable source of potions. Unfortunately doesn't work
