"Not allowed to mine," in my head was that you wouldn't be digging into the ground because that's mining. I figured you'd still be cutting down trees and stuff. This was much worse.

Those cacti may actually come in handy for defense, and maybe even offense. You can generate more by placing one, and then placing a block diagonally above it (not directly on top, but to the side by one). The cactus will attempt to grow, but the new growth will be too close to a block, and it will pop off on its own as an item drop. That way you don't need to break anything. You can use water to help move all the cactus drops into one pickup location, if you feel it's worth using your iron to make a bucket.

That surface mineshaft you found is supper common in my experience, but only in that one biome. I think they may be programed to spawn higher in those biomes. Gold is simmilar where it spawns all over the place at all levels there

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

That's actually really cool, like an old western US goldmine. I haven't played modern Minecraft (the latest I've played is 1.6, because I'm always using mods) so I'm often just as confused as Kevin looking at all these new features.

[@CaptNSquared]

​ @GregariousGregor The new ore map is really cool actually. Things spawn at different layers and at different levels within those layers. Some things are also biome dependent, and some ores have a "reduced/no air generation" meaning they won't generate exposed to air. (this seems kinda bugged though as Lapis apparently has no air generation but I see it all the time). I also like it because if you are digging at the optimal level you will get loads of whatever recourse you want for you pic. 1 diamond pic will reliably get you several diamond pics worth of diamonds and a heck of a lot of other stuff, unlike the old days. There are also MASSIVE iron and copper veins that generate like spider webs and can contain hundreds of ores. But they often spawn diagonally so it's not obvious/the easiest to mine. But yeah cliffs and caves 2 brought a lot of cool stuff to the underground

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

@@CaptNSquared Dang, that sounds really cool! Makes me wish it were easier to update mods. Are there new goals/tasks to complete? The reason I play with mods is they give me a purpose when playing (make a dinosaur park in Fossils & Archeology, collect all the dragons in Wyrmroost, beat all the bosses in some RPG modpack I forget the name of, etc.). Basically I want a tangible goal beyond surviving and exploring. Besides The End, of course. I've done that half a dozen times now. Though I'm legit tempted to jump back in even without that just to see all the new cool stuff.

@@kenjutsukata1o1 Beyond seeing the new tuff not really. There's a pretty major overworld/biome update coming out soon as well, but that's it. I have the same problem with Minecraft and every now and then can get into it while listening to something. But the lack of a real goal keeps me form being hooked.

[@icarusgaming6269]

This is kind of the most fun way to play the game since it requires exploration. I like to limit myself to surface and blast mining, so hardcore adventure rules make things a bit tricky. You're seriously underutilizing your peaceful options, though. You've made such a running gag of villages only being useful for taking items that you've totally forgotten the long term rewards that can be gained by contributing! They actually have everything you need First of all, farming: If you can still place blocks and do right click actions there's nothing stopping you from doing this now that you've figured out a workaround for pulling crops. This will cover your food supply forever. Failing that, the farmer should still replace the crops you pull at an excruciatingly slow rate. *Make sure he doesn't die.* Any village with a golem should be pretty safe to live in without losing your relationships, which brings me to my next strategy Trading: You can basically beat the entire game using only trading. Someone made a crazy video where he charted out an entire route for his dad to beat the game using as few reflex-intensive actions as possible, and it involved a lot of trading. At high levels you can get blaze rods, ender pearls, and complete sets of armor by building relationships with the same few villagers If you really need cooked meat, you can also attack mobs using the flint and steel. You can usually find more in temples, mineshafts, and other hostile dungeons. If you can find it consistently it may also become the new strategy for wood since fire breaks it

I recommend building a shield. Putting your shield up completely nullifies the blast from a creeper, so you can more accurately and safely choose where they explode

[@leebeedraws]

So in regard to the weird mineshaft around 10min in - In the mesa biomes (big hills of red clay usually next to deserts or savannahs) it is possible for there to be a mineshaft spawn in at higher levels, usually with parts of it or most of it exposed to the surface! They can be pretty dangerous with all of the poison spiders running about, but they have some pretty decent loot! If you continue playing in this area then I would also keep an eye out for any desert temples since you can lure a creeper in to open up the pit for you to enter, just as long as you have enough blocks to staircase out again and don't touch the pressure plate in the centre. You also passed a jungle biome in your boat that may contain a temple with loot in it too, just beware of the traps inside since you can't cheat and mine yourself around them. :)

I would like to see more of this challenge. I think it's very possible to beat the game without mining. Finding gold to trade with piglins in the nether will probably be necessary though

[@CupcakeTheNightFury]

This is such an interesting challenge, it would be great to see a whole series of it

[@kanrafingerguns]

Kevin has such great, creative strategies when it comes to these challenges. Can we bring back military genius?

[@MasterManBatman]

Also Kevin, if you place three blocks beneath you, you can kill the Iron Golems in the villages without being hurt, normally giving you 3-5 iron ingots (and a rose sometimes!)

[@reneeluk5574]

This playstyle is actually entertaining to watch, would love to see more!

[@DJChizzlesworth]

Hey Kevin, I can highly recommend Optifine for lighting, it'll allow you to have light when torch is in your hand rather than having to place it to get the light!

[@WarlandWriter]

FYI you can also obtain stone by exploding creepers near it

[@Vambrayse]

After doing some thinking i've come to the realization that beating the game without breaking a single block is possible. I'm writing this to describe how. Optimizing your block getting strategy is very important. Personally I'd recommend trying to get gravel and sand with creepers. Then kill creepers for gunpowder, or you can find some in chests. Make TONS of TNT, the more the better. TNT will be our way of mining, however to light it we need a tool. I'm not sure if exploded gravel can drop flint, though you could just find flint and steel in chests. For the nether you need to run around and look for ruined portals, pray for obsidian and eventually you'll have enough for a portal. You could also find the stuff in random chests. The end will probably be the most annoying part, especially getting to it. You need to throw eyes of ender to find it, and then bomb your way down. Once you eventually find the portal after some navigation and explosions you will simply need place a bed to set your spawnpoint. Then you just have to put in your eyes of ender and hop in. Fighting the dragon will go as normal, you can use a bow to knockout the healing crystals. You can also use the bed trick if you're experienced with it.

[@AnderEvermore]

When going to the end bring lots of tnt and or creepers too. If the end spawn is underground you cannot get out without breaking blocks so you may have to blow it up.

[@ducky2379]

You can just make the obsidian with lava and water in the right spots to complete the nether portal frame.

This seed is actually amazing like it looks so pretty in some parts and it has so many wierd spawns and places, Kevin needs to give us this seed.

[@thebreakfastmenu]

The badlands biome often has ground level mineshafts like that, along with numerous spider spawners. They're really fun to find. I've come across a lot of them, so I don't think they're any rarer than the biome itself. Also, instead of placing torches and being unable to get them back, hold on in your left hand!

[@imcrazygnomie6642]

I feel like "I'm not allowed to mine" would be a challenge that - to me - would only apply to literal mining. Like if you have to use a pick to get it then you can't "mine" it. Chopping down trees - digging dirt, and farming shouldn't have counted. This is just my personal opinion though. This was more of a "Minecraft but I'm not allowed to hit any blocks."

[@EskimoPop]

I didn’t want to say anything, buuuuutttt 0:28. GRASS💀

[@ghrasta.]

Day 188 of asking Kevin to play Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey

[@samuelethanreyillut4788]

Meanwhile Kevin not noticing this seed is extremely rare:

[@infintyplayer16]

Have loved all of your Minecraft series so far but this one feels special and super different! Please make this into a series Kevin!

[@shiroukun7432]

Just judging by the title lemme say, rip to all the poor villagers Kevin comes across during this challenge

[@CWAChristy2]

I’d really like to know how he got out of that hole he fell in without breaking any blocks lol

[@TeenPerspektiva]

Me too

[@ACraziMonki]

Probably the wool he got from the sheep

[@ashtonzippel8120]

@@ACraziMonki doesent add up, if you count every sheep he kills, the same amount of wool will be in his inventory before and after

[@nicololacson1709]

"I'm not sure how I'll get iron without breaking anything." Kevin's soul: I guess I'm irrelevant.

[@Erhannis]

Id love to see this one as a series!!!
