This seed is cracked mangrove jungle next to a jungle biome, next to a village with two blacksmiths a near fortress and a 5 eye. According to Google a 5 eye is a 1 in 264 chance I speedrun too, and the most eyes I saw was a 4 eye.

If they are very soft or hard they need special care to look beautiful and can’t just be tumbled, so softer minerals like sandstone could be be gently ground down and hand polished, but they won’t form a super smooth stone or reveal a gemstone like rocks with quartz in them can.

It's funny, because he also unsafely jumped off the tower and tried mining it from the bottom. If he'd used the torch technique, it would have been much faster. However!

If you mine from the bottom, like he did, you have to wait for the falling animation with each block mined instead of just speed-mining from the top all the way down. XD

Minecraft Gravel Fact: In Minecraft gravel can be broken by falling on a single torch. So if you build a tower, and quickly break the bottom block and replace it with a torch, it will destroy the whole gravel tower. This however won't drop flint ever, so it's pretty useless unless you want to troll somebody.

My *_GRAVEL FACT_* is that the word "Gravel" comes from the Proto-Indo-European (The origin of almost all languages in Europe and India) "gʰreh₁w-" which means "To grind" Note that the superscript "H" after the "G" shows that's it's supposed to have a breathy voice (AKA the throat is more relaxed than in the English "G") the "h₁" means we know it sounded like an "H" but we don't know the exact sound and the "-" at the end shows this doesn't have a suffix (Verbs in Proto-Indo-European required a suffix).

Kevin choosing a random tunic without checking the enchantments is my pet peeve😂

[@africanostrich4273]

Tunic is a word I don’t hear often in most people’s speech anymore and I appreciate the use of it

[@checksintekex]

@@africanostrich4273 i feel like the top part of the minecraft armor is so bulky, so a perfect tunic🥰

In early game, enchantments don’t matter much, since any gear is better than no gear.

The audio echo effect is so tasteful

SPOILER Continue with caution The endedman got revenge for their comrades that were trapped in boats for Kevin to get to the end. His tactical genius shone bright til his final moments met at the hands of the one creature he prepared for.

GRAVEL FACT: It's crunchy. Also, you can find platinum in it. Which makes it extra crunchy.

Gravel fact: With proper care and maintenance, a gravel driveway can last up to 100 years. The beauty of gravel is that it can be repaired and replenished on an ongoing basis.

"lost my boat lost my boat can't be that far, my boat is in hand" classic Kevin moment XD

[@conorjohn490]

Kevin passed 3 sheep AND stole a bed while visiting 5 distinct locations... and he STILL ended up having to burrow into a hillside at midnight!

[@BTOptimizer]

That was actually a decent run! Good job, Kevin! :D

[@Piranhamatt]

How much water can gravel hold? High quality, lightly compacted loam has about 20 percent stormwater storage capacity, large-grained clear sand has about 30 percent stormwater storage capacity, and clear angular rock (aggregate/gravel) has about 40 percent stormwater storage capacity.

[@JudithARobinson]

It's nice, once in a while, to see Kevin doing well at a game. This was so much fun 😊

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

He's clueless about so much of the game, yet bumbles his way to victory. I legit love it, it's like watching a cartoon character accidentally painting a masterpiece by tripping over a paint bucket.

[@anotherfreakingaccount]

just so you know, the spawn table for water in a swamp contains zero hostile mobs. It's one of the safest places in the game other than a mushroom biome
