Why'd you mention it when it's already there ?

[@Pixlriffs]

It wasn't there at first. I posted the video without the full set of timestamps because I was waiting for the upload to finish before I added them, and then halfway through the upload a technician arrived to fix my internet cable, so I got distracted and never came back to it. I dropped a heart on this comment and added their timestamps to my description, it was a great reminder :)

I still learn new things watching your series. So refreshing! Like using a double chest to evade the gilded blackstone or piglins only get angry when they see you open a chest so just blocking things off can prevent it. Really nice

Great episode Alex! thanks for filling in for Pix!

GREAT VIDEO!! I have always went into the Bastians arrows flying and sword swinging just fighting everything. I have never meticulously picked it apart like you did. I’m going to find a new bastion and do the same thing.!!

Loving this series Pixlriffs. Still managing an episode despite adversity! True dedication. Bed mining, so much fun if you're going after ancient debris next time 😊

[@aaryananand7288]

It's pretty easy to create a resource pack to fix your skin while offline, and I've done it soooo many times in the past. 1. First you create folders with the following names nested into each other : assets\minecraft\textures\entity 2. and inside the last entity folder, you paste your skin file as a png and rename it to steve. you then create a copy of the same skin file and rename it alex. now you should have steve.png and alex.png inside the entity folder. 3. once your done with that, you create a txt file with notepad with the following text : { "pack": { "pack_format": 9, "description": "Custom Skin" } } 4. Then you save the text file in the same folder as the "assets" folder and rename it to "pack.mcmeta". (just make sure you're changing the txt file extension to mcmeta instead of saving the file as pack.mcmeta.txt. if you do that, it simply won't work) 5. Finally you use a software like winRar or similar to create a zip of the files together. you do this by selecting the "assets" folder and the "pack.mcmeta" file at the same time by holding control and then right click and say add to archive, and select zip (don't archive as .rar, it won't work) you can name the zip file whatever you want, it really doesn't matter. Now you have your very own texture pack that you can move inside the "resourcepacks" folder under "%appdata%/.minecraft" that you can enable inside the game to have your skin show up even without being online! Looking forward to seeing your skin back next episode!!!

[@awesomemccoolname226]

Tip for all the people raiding their first bastion- if you have the iron, you can make iron golems and they’ll protect you against angry piglins. They can really save your bacon (pun intended!)

[@shadow325lone]

My way of looting bastions is to snipe as much piglin brutes as I can with my bow before I enter the structure. When entering the big part, I go from top to bottom by continuing to snipe every piglin I see. (Simply because I don't want to bother with them in any case) And how I open those chests in the first part is simply digging under them and looting the chest from below. They don't realise you opened it that way

[@95DJROCK]

I love how he makes this look so easy.

[@angiecats5298]

I’ve been pretty lucky and spawned right next to a treasure bastion. Thank you for making this video, it’s going to make things so much easier for me when I get around to raiding it 😅 You make it look so easy haha

Hey Pixl, Good raid on the Piggy Fortress and good see you can now go to netherite gear. Can't wait to see the "mining for antient debris" eps. Till next eps Cheers

[@svoidsofinfinitechaos9367]

Finally got pigstep in my current world and Pixlriff’s tips definitely helped. The lava bucket and fire resistance combo is also so satisfying to pull off in a pinch. Almost got cornered by two brutes before I remembered “oh right, I can just burn them”.

[@FighteroftheNightman]

I've never seen a zombie piglin on a strider before that's pretty neat. My daughter loves the striders so maybe today we will go look for one

[@UniverseCafe]

I love when a new vid comes out. I was always wondering about pig Lin bastions, but I feel more confident now.

[@thewr0ngchild]

What would be good is on hardcore mode, the brutes have a 10% chance of spawning in enchanted netherite armour or carrying a netherite axe enchanted with Smite IV. This would encourage brave players to engage these dangerous mobs in hand to hand combat. Using looting however does not increase the chance of netherite drops, this would remain 10% and there is also a 50% chance any netherite items would be cursed as well, just to switch it up a bit.

You don't necessarily need a wifi component to connect your pc. You can use a usb cable and use usb tethering directly from the phone

FWY, if you phone is an android phone, you can tether with USB. going to settings, connections, tethering or sharing (depending on brand), then there should be a toggle for "USB tethering" (as long as you have a USB cable connected to your PC. also, generic USB Wi-Fi dongles do exist on amazon or another local retailer.

Nice tutorial Pix. Makes the Bastion seem more doable

[@racram0444]

I raided a bastion recently, and I did it full mission impossible style, stealthily taking down all the piglins and the brutes floor by floor with my bow until I had an empty bastion, I even made a skin for that with a night vision goggles and all

Cmon its only twice

[@puttanesca621]

Once again I have been Alexlriffs, thank you so much for watching this episode of the minecraft survival guide.

[@niiikaaa21]

So a few days ago I raided a bastion for the first time on a server with a couple friends, and even that was scary as hell - One time I got surprised by a piglin brute and nearly died. Even with good diamond gear I went down to one heart within a few seconds and had to stay in a panic box for a while to get my irl heart to calm down haha xD I honestly doubted if I could raid a bastion alone on my solo world without dying, but your tips in this video were great! I never would've thought to use a lava bucket or hoppers, so thank you! :D That should make the whole thing a bit more manageable, so I might actually try to do it soon-ish.

[@nebulaink]

thanks for all the super helpful tips! i watched the survival guide season 2 when you did a similar video, and used your techniques to raid a treasure bastion a couple of weeks ago successfully! the lava bucket is really the best with dealing with many many creatures.

[@stillinhere]

I am finally at the point where I can deal with bastions. Not perfectly, and with lots of safety platforms and target practice with the bow, but I am only dying 1 out of every 5 bastion visits. So much better than I used to do. Now that the templates are there, it's too much of a temptation to visit them.

[@TugiFox]

My trick to treasure bastions was to open the right up, and then fly out whenever things got too hairy.

[@Draconic_Joker]

as a suggestion to help with lag of the hoppers put composters on top of hoppers to minimize lag

[@eliteredstoned]

LETSS GOO!!! Another amazing video!! love this series!!!

[@Spectervamp1]

When he first showed the storage room pattern I thought Neapolitan and then he said it 😂. I was also thinking the same thing with cherry-crimson-mangrove, and I’ll honestly say I’m not a big fan of the Neapolitan, but I’ll trust your builder’s intuition to see it through here; you never disappoint. Wondering if Cherry-crimson-warped might look good and shake things up…

[@taha.r.dehkordi]

I don't know if someone else has been mentioned this already or not but you can connect your mobile phone to your PC with a cable and in settings of your phone (It should be on Hotspot settings) you can enable USB thetring and use your internet from phone on the pc

[@trevinbeattie4888]

I would never have thought of using a hopper to loot a bastion treasure chest, even though it seems obvious in hind sight. Thanks for the tip!

[@Rickby]

I wish I seen this video. Playing Minecraft after years of not playing is so different. I stumbled upon this in the nether and got 2 shot by a pig. I was so confused

[@soultundra7869]

Ouch. We've got 2 internet providers in case one goes down as we run an internet dependent business from home. I feel your pain with the lack of internet connection. Having a qifi card is definitely a good back=up tho. I was definitely getting Star Wars vibes during that piglin Brute battle... with the burning them in lava, and the "It's over, I have the high ground" 😆

[@hatredlord]

Your honour, it was the lava!

And I think we all winced as soon as we heard the bit about the internet cable running under the hedge... oof, sorry to hear that, hope they get to you soon!

[@norbucso]

My game is so strange. I had my ocean monument in my spawn chunk without the structure generated. Just the bounding box. I found out by seeing wierd creatures like fish in the water. Had to dig it out but no harm. Same with my treasure bastion next to my spawn base. It's in the delta. So only piglin brutes I had to fight and since then it's empty. Only the magma spawner is there to make some frog lights.❤

[@BrandonVout]

I severed my aunt's phone line when I was around 10-ish. A bit of wire was sticking out of their dirt driveway and I wanted to test my strength by pulling it apart with my bare hands. Thankfully, I wasn't electrocuted. I would've gotten away with it if I hadn't immediately gone inside to brag about it. I wasn't the smartest kid.

[@claire7657]

there is an option called "usb tethering" that allows you to share phone's internet straight through the usb.

[@Pixlriffs]

And I did everything possible to make that work, yet for some reason it wouldn't.

[@TheLewylew]

they should definately make it so when you use a lava bucket it counts as a player kill if you placed it.

I usually go for a full stealth mission, sniping everything from afar. Never considered the lava bucket. Though I'd probably set myself on fire at some point and I'd still want the regular piglins gone anyway.

[@steff8069]

funny enough, I had a similar experience recently, only I didn't cut the cable myself - roadworkers did that for me. Took about 10 days to be fixed. I ran into the same problem - main computer has no access to wifi, I had to make do from a laptop via mobile data hotspot. XD

FYI, most new motherboards have wifi6 built-in. I had a similar problem (nearby construction severed my neigborhood's internet for a couple of days) and I was able to work over my 5G cell phone hotspot on my desktop. Not as stable, but better than nothing.

[@Pixlriffs]

Cool! My motherboard either does not have that, or something about the way my system is configured makes it profoundly difficult to access, because even tethering my iPhone via USB did not make a phone hotspot available to me on Windows 10.

No wayy!! I kinda “copied” your house design but I changed the floor/ceiling to have almost the exact same design as the floor for your storage. Did cherrywood in center, then spruce, then dark oak on the edges. I thought the same thing about it looking like icecream but I still like it haha

[@BluemaxDR]

You should put composters on all the hoppers to cut down on lag.

By lag I mean MSPT milliseconds per tick, It really does make a difference

In today's edition of 'I've been playing this game for a while and I didn't know': I learned why I can't get my skin on my character when I'm not around the internet. I always wondered why I was Alex. I also learned techniques about bastion raiding, but you all have no idea how much it bothered me that I'd randomly end up Alex for what I thought was no reason.

this sounds.. so strange to me. I KNOW I've played minecraft offline without internet connection on multiple occasions and I always had my own skin, no issue. but that was a few years back, so maybe something changed since then?.. still, I'm baffled you weren't able to use your skin without access to the internet. :o
