20 Tricks That Make Minecraft Way Easier

[@brendonw456]

The raining thing for fishing is indeed a real life occurrence, and it's actually like a threefold reason why they come out more often in the rain. First, the rain creates small currents in the dirt that push worms into the water (this is why fish have a taste for worms, btw) Second, the currents and the overcast heavily obscure the sun, and a lot of fish species don't like to be active in sunlight because it makes them too warm. Third, the water drops hitting the surface of the water can also confuse certain species that prefer eating bugs on the surface of the water, as the raindrops hitting the surface looks very, very similar to a BUNCH of bugs moving around on the surface. I should also note that while fish enjoy rain, they will actually retreat further below the surface if they see lightning, since obviously they will die if they're up near where the electricity is dispersing should lightning strike the water

[@HAMZA-OLYMPUS]

I think it would be funny if a fish FUCKING DIED due to LIGHTNING ⚡️ 😂😂😂😂

Actually you can tunnel diamond mining in bedrock by using water bucket to crawl into 1x1 tunnel

[@mistrsportak9940]

But you can't really mine that way Edit: I just tried it and apparently you can do it without any problems. It used to not work, you would just mine the block above you in older version

[@bobertastic6541]

I do that in bedrock. and for some reason I move very quickly while doing it too, its pretty good

[@Enderia2]

@@bobertastic6541 it’s because the game hasn’t exactly implemented crawling it seems, so it acts like you’re swimming through air.

The one about the ghast helps a lot to actually farm their tears for potions.

[@Greaful]

Or for end crystals

[@saquoiafighter]

Or to just remove them from the immediate area. Little buggers.

[@ItsMrBozToYou]

5:30 you can do something similar with nether mushrooms. You need the corresponding nylium, but they can make a handy base. It'll also make you feel like a Telvanni wizard.

[@liquidsuspect2469]

really any of the trees that grow straight up and down (no azalea or mangrove) will do pretty much the same thing, the ceiling may be a bit see-through but that won't matter. mushrooms and nether wart 'trees' are fireproof tho so def a better choice

[@SoManyRandomRamblings]

Plus the nether ones come with built in lighting.

I had no idea about the water bucket trick to remove and collect cobwebs! Learning something new every video. Thanks Eye!

[@HelplessTeno]

7:15 - Fish come out more when it rains for a couple reasons, it oxygenates the water and cools it during summer months, both of which make fish more active. Also in certain areas, raining is an indication that many predator birds are not out, so fish feel safer if they're prey for those birds.

[@Johnden]

10:30 - A fully charged stone axe hit will 1 hit kill silverfish without alerting others. It's much more comfortable to use than a flint and steel.

[@alekzos4105]

For 8:15, I'm certain you can crawl mine in bedrock edition, but you have to use water instead of a trapdoor. Say you are facing a 2x1 tunnel. Dig a hole on the block, right of you One beneath were you are standing. Putting water in the right block, it flows down to the bottom spot and doesn't move away. And one at the bottom of the 2x1 shaft. Swim through the water. And collect your water. Then crawl mine :)

[@FitzAF]

That fishing rod trick for ghasts is actually really cool. Now I can get more ghast tears by killing them with a looting sword instead of a bow. :D Thanks, eyecraft!

just put your looting sword in your offhand and use bow

These kinds of vids always have one thing I'm like "oh I've been doing that the whole time!" and one thing that makes me go "WHAT!!! WHAT HOW HAVE I NOT BEEN DOING THIS" This video had a few "WHAT" moments for me 😂 While I've been using an ungodly large army of dogs to do my killing for years, I had no idea about pulling in Ghasts with a fishing rod, or the trick to get the giant oak trees... so thank you!!!

[@mystori_]

that giant tree trick i definitely need to use more often, since mining trees takes too long and im always running out of wood XD great video!

[@niwoh]

Big oaks are the worst trees to harvest tho lol, takes forever to find those single wood blocks between the leaves

[@jvon3885]

Also noticed bonemealing a tree from one to two blocks above the sapling will cause it to grow taller and fuller even if the block isn't right up next to the sapling.

[@walteruber994]

In Bedrock you can greatly increase fishing rates by making a 2-3 deep 4x4 hole, filling it with water and placing a fish (bucket) in the hole. Fishing speed is increased when your bobber is near fish.

[@-KreedM-]

[@walteruber994]

[@lukassanjaya9953]

You just need 2 fish and waterlog chest imo

[@Xx0ME0xX]

​@Lukas Sanjaya lol i made a setup like that off of a video, just one fish, a watterlogged chest, 3 trapdoors, a hopper, a double chest for collection, and a bucket of lava so it doesnt use durability, i forget where i seen the tutorial for it but it makes a decent early game xp farm with the enchanted bows and fishing rods, as well as getting other treasure itemss and fish

[@gawf99]

I'd have to disagree with your tip to not grow carrots. They are the best crop to use in villager auto breeders. They are the only villager farmable crops have no trash items to pick up and clog villagers inventories.

[@atIXO.]

Potatoes are good aswell

[@jd_raven2731]

Thanks for the tips! Started a new world today and have a Mansion at spawn! Going to have a nice base when I clear it out lol.

[@Drie_Kleuren]

10:40 a great tip is 1 shotting them. If you 1 shot then they wont spawn more. Also their enchantment is bane of arthropods, Or sharpness.

[@sanecatlady]

6:36 I use shears to get rid of the leaves so I can mine each block of wood. You can use the leaves as compost material, too

[@ImSquiggs]

Watching you murder cobwebs was physically painful for me, haha. It’s an uncraftable rare block, and we use as currency on my server, so that water bucket was the equivalent of you lighting a pile of money on fire in my world :P

[@NanBeno60]

Boohoo

[@Hunter-js6st]

Btw the first Fact counts for every cookable food item, including pork from Hoglins, aswell as potatoes from Zombies

[@thebottomoftheinternet8996]

Sumavoid figured out that if you place oxidized copper blocks a block above and below the copper blocks that you would like to oxidize, they actually oxidize WAY faster. You can actually increase the speed at which copper oxidizes just by adding another layer of blocks below and above the ageing copper. this was shown in a video titled "I've automated Copper Ageing" From Suma's Hermitcraft X series. I believe it was episode 1170.

[@theendarkenedilluminatus4342]

The mushroom base is such a great idea 7:35 maybe it's visibility but it's also because they think the rain is food (insects) landing on the water. They feel or hear it and swarm up to try to eat it. Every time I watch one of your videos you drastically improve my efficiency in this game. Thanks for making these!

[@TheWonkster]

I'm not going to waste my emeralds I can use to buy much more useful items when I can grow 3-5 patches of carrots for ostensibly free and use the gold that is otherwise almost useless (Once you have a soul speed ((an already fairly niche enchantment)) book, I find Piglins to be pretty useless outside of speedrunning, especially after you've beaten the Dragon) to make more than enough carrots.

[@nitrogen6274]

To get a ton of block using Shears on a tree will get you a ton of leaves in a few seconds and it's possible in almost any biome, late game you can use a netherite hoe with silk touch

[@maidenrose]

bro your voice instantly gives me a relaxed atmosphere

[@michaellautermilch9185]

I would recommend mining all cobwebs with shears instead. This is because cobwebs are non renewable so you want to collect them while you have the chance. They are useful in some redstone timers, and as decorative blocks.

[@alexandrucalitescu5822]

He mentioned it: "If you don't want to get the cobwebs with shears instead"

[@Sentient_Blob]

It’s also good for pvp

[@nathanburgett1599]

Tip 1. You do lose the xp from cooking. Tip 2?. Fishing is also a early easy xp farm. Safer than the nether and you get treasure as well. Tip 9. If you don't have a deeper water you can just dig out the area you have to create a treasure fishing spot. (Side note: IRL when it rains it mimics bugs on top disturbing the water, as well as knocking bugs down to the water, so fish do bite better, as they naturally are attracted at that time.)

[@張謙-n3l]

I don't really agree about the farming part, since we can get golden carrots from farmers and hunt animals for cooked meat, I doubt if we really need to grow food. While in terms of breeding pigs and villagers, carrots and potatoes are both much better than beetroot and wheat(bread), harvesting potatoes has a small chance of getting poisoned potatoes that cannot be used to breed anything, I'll still prefer growing a carrot farm for breeding purpose

Crawl mining can be done in bedrock too using a bucket of water to crawl in your 1x1 hole as you're swimming

[@tinyfreckle]

But how do you not drown?

[@gorgor-real]

@@tinyfreckle You actually use the water just to fit in the tunnel thanks to the swimming animation, once you're in you can remove the water source and you wont drown and you can keep crawling too

[@mrtoestie2707]

You talking about that instant mushroom base just reminded me of a really old memory I had forgotten. Way back when I was a little kid, one of my main bases was a mushroom fort. I think it was my first time in a mushroom biome. Ended up setting up a house with 4 or 5 of the red mushrooms in a little hole next to each other. Man those where good times.

[@mr.unknown411]

8:28 it is also possible with BEDROCK but you can use water instead to swim inside the hole in a horizontal position

[@Jason-k-Jones]

"And then you can craft a flint and steel, pretty much the easiest item to craft" meanwhile I can't even find any iron or gravel, my worlds flat :(

[@feywynnightrunner9380]

Why fish are more likely to bite when it's raining (irl), is because the fish think the drops of rain hitting the water might be bugs landing on the surface. I know this because I used to go fishing with my parents as a kid, and they taught me about that. Fishing early in the morning is good because as the water starts to warm up the fish become more active, and are hungry. Fishing around sunset works, because the fish are on the look out for bugs or anything else to eat before it gets too dark for them, and before most of the day time bugs rest for the night.

[@RotLordSilver]

Pro tip for everyone watching this as well, if your standing further back while you’re mining, it’ll break blocks slightly faster so it’s not necessarily a bad thing to do that in the Tunnel Mining

[@xspawn1387]

Getting back into Minecraft again since the Xbox 360 edition. A few changes since then.. Lol.. Any questions I have are answered by your great videos.. You have it covered thanks for the help..!

[@clowncarnival6208]

7:20 The reason fishing in the rain is better irl is because the rain airates the surface of the water brining baitfish closer to the surface, brining predatory fish up as well to follow them. Rain clouds also overcast a body of water and the shade helps with the heat of the surface of the water and with fish being less visible while in open water.

[@rainbowx108]

The eye of knowledge has returned.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

The reason that fishing in the rain IRL is a good idea is because worms and other food are getting washed into the water by the rain, and the fish know this, meaning they are actively looking for food in the rain.

[@yourfather8041]

Fish bite in the rain because they think it’s bugs landing in the water. The surface of a body of water is a mirror when viewing from underwater so the fish can’t see you anyway.

There actually is on more usage for carrots! Golden carrots are used for potions of night vision. When in caves I personally I opt for torches since those both do the job and keep mobs away, but nevertheless that is a reason for growing carrots and there are other usages for night vision for example when exploring underwater where you can't as easily place light sources etc.

[@vishnuchitudu6338]

Healing arrows do work on the wither, poison doesn't work on endermen undead mobs or spiders, and slowness doesnt work on all flying mobs

[@EverettGuenther]

I think fish are more active during rainstorms irl because the raindrops mimic insects on the surface which the fish usually prey on.

On bedrock, you can mine tunnels while crawling by have waterfalls, sprinting underwater and entering a 1 block area. You can also mine one block bellow the water fall and avoid having water push you in and not allow you to get out, if the water already comew inside, mine one block bellow waterfall then place and mine again a block at the entrance to the tunnel.

[@lordforce5546]

Best way to oxidize copper is to have them next to copper that's already fully oxidized

[@zanearnold1337]

Fish bite more when it's raining because food often drops down after the rain hits adjacent trees, etc, also it's easier for them to hunt due to the surface being disrupted

[@OublietteTight]

Re: Carrots. In my active village/ base, I attempted to grow a variety of crops. The farmers have taken out all options except carrots. They obsessively only replant carrots. Why? - D

[@mlmii1933]

Villagers have a hidden inventory and farmers plant whatever they are carrying, they also throw food items at any nearby 'hungry' villagers which is how automated village breeders work. Carrots tend to be the best villager food since they only drop carrots and tend to drop a bunch of carrots.

[@TheGreyParse]

The fishing rod on ghasts was a game changer

[@awienmering]

Nice video man.

[@Gstar5150]

The actual reason fishing can be better I. The rain is because of how stuff washes into the water when it rains, it's especially good around overhanging trees and steep rocky dropoffs where lots of spiders live

Gold farming & carrot farming are way more efficient than buying golden carrots off of villagers. In Bedrock it's pretty easy to get 32,000 gold nuggets per hour with a portal ticking gold farm, and carrot farms can also get thousands of items per hour very easily.

You can actually crawl in bedrock edition, all you need to do is grab water and you can just swim into the tunnel in order to mine, though it is quite tedious going in and out. (edit) you also crawl a whole lot faster.

[@paularoysko7861]

I actually get a lot of xp just traiding carrots (and pumpkin, melon, potatos) with villagers. Great stuff.

[@michaellautermilch9185]

2:40 actually I skip in the potatoes and only grow carrots. Carrots are a better way to get emeralds early game vs potatoes. Farmer villagers don't require as many carrots per trade, compared to any other crop.

[@Vandalieu]

Potatoes are a better early game crop but you'll typically have a zombie piglin farm for gold mid to late game making golden carrots extremely easy to get.

[@kobra2384]

If you REALLY want tons if emeralds from crops use pumpkins or melons. Trust me they are a very good source of emeralds

[@ahmedelshibini405]

Carrots can be sold to villagers, used for golden carrots or fed to pigs. So I get the idea it isn’t necessary for the starting farm but it’s nice late game.

[@parambirkh9381]

U can crawl mine in bedrock. Simply dig a few blocks into where u wanna set the tunnel, break one block on the floor in front of the tunnel, stand on that hole and u will directly face the tunnel with ur FOV. Now place water at the edge of the tunnel, that water will flow out and into the hole u r standing in. Double click forward and swim into the hole, collect ur water back and now u can tunnel mine in bedrock. But one advantage is that u are basically swimming on land and its the same speed as swimming in water which is as fast as sprinting. Its very efficient since u r going at sprinting speed with very less hunger loss.

The mushroom base you can also just get jungle or spruce sapplings and grow them 4x4 next to each other and bonemeal. Then repeat 4x4 next to it and in front or behind it. Basically make anywhere from an 8x8 to a 12x12 16x16 etc how big you wanna make the treehouse base. Then just hollow out the inside. You get logs to decorate or adorne your new house base AND a new base.
