Destroying a Trial Chamber for Blocks! ▫ Minecraft 1.21 Survival Guide S3 [Ep.98]

[@wtfisthisnonsense]

This is exactly what I'd use those dungeons for - blocks. I don't care about the loot, I want the free blocks.

[@Pixlriffs]

Then you’re exactly who I made this video for! 😁

[@wtfisthisnonsense]

@@Pixlriffs You, sir, are a legend.

[@JordanIves-nr8il]

​@@PixlriffsYeah man! These blocks are so cool and I find you so good at making tutorials! You throw wisdom into them!!!

[@slimlancaster9844]

Yeah, I used chunkbase to locate a few in closeby loaded chunks that I knew wouldn't have generated full structures, just for the sole purpose of mining all the copper and tuff.

[@allisongreenwood9352]

I actually started this a few days ago, I only wanted the blocks.

That coper bulb is a game changer. For both builders and technical minecraft players.

I turned a medium sized trial chamber into a key farm, got a heavy core on the 5th ominous vaults, got a breach 2 book at a nearby desert temple, and have a nice stash of keys to open more chests in other chambers

[@Pixlriffs]

Nice! Sounds like you’ve had a great start to the update 💪

[@Nekomancer_Evei]

The copper bulbs responding to a single redstone signal reminds me of the IRL old touch lamps I remember growing up with as a kid, would have to polish them every once in a while (I think they were brass), but basically just touching anywhere the metal of the lamp existed would turn on the lamp, and furthermore ours has 3 modes from dim to bright, and the 4th being back off again, it always circled through them, the order was off, bright, dim, dimmer to off again. I haven't seen anyone have those type of lamps in almost 25 years or so, I'll be curious if anyone else remembers them or might still use similar ones.

[@deborahbryant4094]

Great video. The smite tip against the bogged is useful advice. I found a trial chamber in my new world and the bogged nearly killed me. Thanks for sharing!

[@sethweston3319]

Smite is love, Smite is life, I know it's not the most popular but I like having one weapon with it in case I need to fight a lot of undead, it's great!

[@notmarypoppins]

At 27:00 "which is why I like to set up a copper aging facility" That is one of my favourite things Pix does. Even though the redstone is well beyond my current comprehension, every variant of David brings me joy! Which one are we up to now? David 5.0? 6.0? Can't wait to see how he sets up this one :D

[@Van-dq4sw]

It's interesting that two of the recent major structure updates both benefit from being stealthy and covering trigger centers in blocks to allow for free movement if you don't want a combat challenge - as someone who's recently been exploring Ancient Cities a bunch, the similarities pop out to me. Sound, sight...if we count the pressure plates and tripwires in the desert and jungle temples respectively, that's 3/5 senses. Next update will be a living room you have to feed its favorite food to avoid fighting. XD

[@alamander4444]

Living room = a room that is alive, not a room in your house... That took me a minute. I was thoroughly confused how you made that jump.

[@Van-dq4sw]

Sliced Lime on his video said that the vaults rotating sprite is never able to be timed. It might occur that you get the item but it's never guaranteed. Since he works for Mojang I take his word as gospel as I've never found his information to be wrong.

[@IngieKerr]

came down here to say the same thing. aye; he says on his trials update video (i quote verbatim copy/paste from his video transcript) : _"Within the vault block you can also see an item display - this shows the possible items that players can obtain from looting the Vault. However, the display is not connected to what you'll actually get when opening the vault - once you interact, the loot is selected from the Vault's loot table. That is to say, you cannot time interacting with the vault with when a desired item is shown."_

[@marling013]

I love all the new tuff and copper blocks, but just thinking about destroying such beautiful structure is causing me mental pain XD. I like to preserve my world as untouched as possible, so I will never mine trial chamber. I'll mine all the tuff and copper for my buildings from the ground, even if it'll take me way more time! Still, great video Pix. I love your way of making content for every type of minecraft player, builders, explorers and redstoners etc. You're the best!

[@BellePullman]

Tuff polished blocks are AMAZING with cyan terracotta... as if cyan terracotta wasn't useful enough already!

[@riuphane]

This was a great look at what the trial chambers can offer beyond PvE. Also just interesting from a technical perspective what goes into the structure. Really looking forward to the next iteration of David and seeing what you come up with for farming the trial spawners, if you decide it's worth it...

[@dawnmino]

I love that they made the music discs colorful. I wish the old ones would get a cosmetic update.

[@Wortigon2000]

What I'll do with the trial chambers: Mine 1 out, and turn it into spawner farms. Have water dispensers flush the mobs down from wherever they might spawn, alongside the drops periodically, into a rather deep dropshute. That way, even if I were to use the trial omen buff/debuff/whichever you consider it as, I'd be able to gather loot from the spawners. Also, build a nice little rollercoaster so I can activate a bunch of the spawners at once, so they can go simultaniously. Requirements: 1.: Dig out the entire trial chamber, except forthe spawners. (can leave parts that are far away enough from the spawners, won't be an issue) 2.: Dig out rather deep below the trial chamber, so I can have the mobs fall. A big distance. 3.: Put a collection system of some kind to the bottom of the dropschute. 4.: build some redstone that can flush the spawner drops and/or the mobs down from the spawners. Note: mobs that don't take fall damage (slimes) might be an issue here. For those, you might have to create little zones of iron golems surrounded by fences and magma blocks in the collection area at the bottom of the dropschute to make sure they are disposed of. Alternatively, you could just leave those spawners out of the farm. I for one, would love to create a farm like this with skeleton/bogged spawners the most. After all, bones/bonemeal are useful. Out of all the mob types possiblein these spawners that I know of, skeleton variants (for bonemeal and possibly funky arrows) and slimes (for slime obviously) are probably the most useful mobs in terms of mob drops. Alternatively, the breeze could compete, once the wind charges get more features, or someone comes up with a good way to utilize them en-masse. For now, the best use-case I see for it is being a dispenser based way to move mobs off of spawning platforms. If they deal any damage at all, than also a possible way to kill off mobs in a funny way. Or to kill ghasts, as those barely have any hp, while have a huge hitbox, meaning that probably even dispensers wouldn't miss. Another option would be spiders, but they're a bit harder to get rid of due to their wall climbing ability. Not all that big of a difference, but a pain to deal with if we don't want to dig out too big dropshutes.

[@avemanvids]

Found a chamber near my base. I am going to pull a Pixelriff and make a huge hole to expose it to the surface. Then I'm going to replace the top layer with glass.

[@briarblack7437]

I've unwaxed my copper blocks by turning them to ingots and back. Haven't done much with the auto crafter yet, but I'd figure that be an easy enough set up without scraping, wouldn't it? Edit: of course you thought of that later in the video 😅

My trial chamber generated funny as well. I discovered separate sections cut off from the main body by chunks of deep slate. I ended up having a lot more trial chamber than I thought I did.

[@sooth15]

Nice. So about a full shulker of aged copper. Seems well worth it. Especially if I want to make more copper roofs. I'd likely also use some of the regular fresh copper blocks while I'm at it.

[@ashdances22]

All I got from this video was we’re getting a new David soon and I’m so ready for it!

[@JamesPTaggart]

It’s actually possible that the dispenser’s behind wall as not always erroneous generation. I found these in my world and recalled that wind charges can activate red stone and so I used a wind charge and for splash positions then there was an effect, water buckets just clipped through the walls though.

[@Joesbadatlife]

I took one look at the copper bulb recipe and knew that I'd be pilfering every last one i come across in the trial chambers.

[@JohnEnerva]

29:00 Hello? Skeletons in my backyard

[@ArEyeses6751]

Can you autocraft waxed copper blocks into ingots and then into unwaxed copper blocks? Although this will only work for pure blocks that's most of the effort of unwaxing the copper from the trial chamber edit: yes this is mentioned at ~29,

[@punkinlady1039]

the guide is back baybee!

[@deepseermoo8439]

I'm so tickled you did this. The whole time I've been watching tria;l streams I've been like...Mannn that's alot of copper

[@niftylittlename]

8:48 actually. the breeze can activate through walls, and the potion can affect outside the wall im pretty sure. So thats still functional

[@IngieKerr]

to confirm: in case it gets lost as a sub comment below, i'll copy it here: Slicedlime's video on the Tricky Trials release about Vaults, he says [i copy/paste directly from his transcript - at 10 min 30 on his vid] _"Within the vault block you can also see an item display - this shows the possible items that players can obtain from looting the Vault. However, the display is not connected to what you'll actually get when opening the vault - once you interact, the loot is selected from the Vault's loot table.

[@lckittyqueen]

ohhh the polished tuff is niceeee

[@RossLemon]

Your next challenge is to strip the oxidation off all the blocks in a trial chamber lol.

[@michaeledwards908]

I always thought it it was worth going to a trial chamber and tearing it down for building and resources for building but in the early MC game, it can take a while and plus, if you would want to, need better armor, weapons, and maybe Shulker Boxes if you want to take it back with you. Plus crafting the Copper Bulbs are pretty expensive with the Blaze Rod, so while it’s easy to find natural copper it is gonna take a lot of it. So it’s kinda mixed for me, and I say this because I still haven’t made a starter house lol. But I do love the copper blocks and really want to build from them because they look amazing

[@petejurich6114]

I’ve been torn about this but once you have unlocked all the vaults you may as well.

[@amirahchowdhary7769]

Here is a thought can you put the other copper materials into your copper aging machiene such as stairs, grates etc..

Can you just switch to Peaceful without the spawner activating? Correct me if I’m wrong, but are the copper blocks that aren’t corroded coated with wax? If we break the block, does that break the wax, too? Edit: they’re waxed. Thank you! That’s exciting.

[@Pixlriffs]

As you’ll see later in the video, they’re all waxed, and that property travels with them!

Also a fun source of dispensers, I got around 20 from this half-formed trial chamber. And if you’re a technical player maybe you’ll get a kick out of farming these spawners for unusual mobs? You can shear mushrooms off the Bogged, that’d make a pretty fun alternative mushroom farm

Out of curiosity: does these blocks around spawner bottom encodes which type of mobs it will spawn, or it just a visual hint from generator algorithm which is only what determines type of mobs?

It’s a hint for the player, but modifying the blocks does not change the spawner type.

Blocks of copper too expensive!? I started playing Minecraft again recently during the 1.21.3 update after a couple years of not playing, and I've clogged my inventory with out much copper I got versus iron (the material I was actually looking for) Even if they oxidize, if you really want to build with copper, the world generation gives you more than most players actually even need or even use so you'll hardly ever run out. Or maybe I just think this because my build style is more medieval fantasy and I've found 0 uses for copper outside of crafting a brush, lightning rods and clogging up inventory space :(
