Setting Up Your Storage Room! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [S3 Ep.8]

[@angelmeowmeow7548]

I’m a old lady who enjoys Minecraft, you have a voice that does not annoy me. Thank you for your enjoyable videos.

[@diceflawless9115]

Yea some of the other minecraft youtubers have some annoying voices. Goodness.

[@daicaghund3587]

Agree! Structure of his videos is great too.

[@SageKillah]

Thanks for getting me back on the Blocks, Pix. These last couple weeks have been some of the most peaceful I've had in the last several months.

[@atharvadeshpande4749]

"Get back on the blocks" talking about it like it's a Drugs, Pretty accurate tbh. 😂

[@LUFKK0L]

​@@atharvadeshpande4749 Minecraft is more addicting than Meth, I'll die on this hill

[@Frederic_104]

Pix also got me back on the blocks. And these past couple weeks have been some of the most peaceful ive had in the last several months.

[@jujoya]

Pixlriffs is the calmest chillest dude

[@timohara7717]

Truly

[@dangerbritson]

Starting a new (same seed) world alongside this series has been so great. It’s been fun to see the familiar terrain in the video and my world

[@krishnajoshi3855]

Hey you play java or bedrock if you play bedrock could you tell me that the cave in which he mined iron are same in both java or bedrock in mcpe there is no lava pool + there is no Skelton spawner only spider spawner thx

[@polarstriker3854]

@@justinhamilton8647 I think the general terrain is the same as of 1.18, but the positioning of trees, ores, and other features are different between the two versions

[@krishnajoshi3855]

​@@polarstriker3854 ya that's what I was thinking while mining

[@MantisFoxx2]

Same. I have done the same. I decided to set up my base area by the cherry mountain.

[@williamludwick77]

​@@krishnajoshi3855 the terrain generation is supposed to be the same. But the structures (villages, temples, spawners, etc...) may be different. In most cases they are but occasionally they're the same. So if you see a spawner, village or possibly a geode, it may not be in the exact same coordinates. Could be shifted slightly or altogether not there. And that goes both ways... Java to Bedrock and Bedrock to Java.

[@wafflingon2651]

11:35 If you're feeling nitpicky, you could rename the Stone section to Terrain Blocks - that would cover blocks like dirt & sand, without sounding like it includes logs, moss etc. in the way something like Natural Blocks does. That's probably just me being a little over-precise, though.

[@sambuma]

If keeping them separate, "earth" could cover dirt, sand, gravel, and clay.

[@theseangle]

Is moss organic or terrain tho :thonk: 🤔

[@sinisterxyz8492]

​@@theseangleOrganic, it's alive, and is very plant-colored

[@timohara7717]

Sediments maybe?

[@tnichols312]

I’m always strangely excited about organizing my storage, and the editable signs make it a lot easier when it comes to deciding what goes where.

[@MagnorCriol]

I discovered a slight downside in that now I have to be way more precise than u used to when clicking, because previously clicking to open did nothing until I hit the chest's hitbox (as opposed to the sign's), but now if I don't aim right suddenly I'm editing the sign and it's a pain, haha. That's just a bit worth getting used to for the glory of editable signs, though!

[@dankz6958]

​@@MagnorCriolhere is a tip: using wax you can 'lock' the sign text, preventing it from being editable.

[@timohara7717]

I think the bundles and their mystery did this to me

[@akshatchheda1102]

loving the way that you're organizing wood in the sequence of their release date

[@Zqcharia]

I just got home from work, and my routine is eat breakfast, play & watch minecraft, it's quite beautiful, I usually just watch You & Dallas so when I seen neither uploaded I was like damn, but here you are saving my morning with a fresh Survival Guide!!! my peanut butter toast and I appreciate you.

[@sikwilly45]

I work the graveyard shift as well. Right there with you. Peanut Butter toast is criminally underrated.

[@Zqcharia]

@@sikwilly45 can't forget the butter 👏

[@xxmarsr]

I love how you effortlessly add tips throughout the entire video. I am enjoying this series so much.

[@johnmatuszak3252]

Another idea for labeling your signs for the wood and stone sections: if you have 3 chests below the sign, the signs do have 3 rows of text, so 1 for each chest below it.

[@paulelderson934]

They have four rows of text, so even better!

[@CosmicCrib]

I couldn't catch survival guide season 1, it was before I played Minecraft. But seeing you in season 2 was an absolute delight combined with hearing your thoughts weekly on the spawn chunks (to anyone who's unaware, pix co-hosts a podcast. It's been almost two years and I have been completely hooked to it). As delightful it was, season 3 carried that pix zest which I think was missing from the previous season. I appreciate the slow nature progression of Minecraft but it felt more like tutorial than a survival let's play. Unlike this time, you are amazing at explanation of game mechanics and it's more intuitive. You showed the world, survived the night, showed farming, upgraded the house, etc. This time it is about what Pix is doing rather than what Pix should be doing. Perhaps, one of the reason you couldn't enjoy season 2 as much.

[@johnnnwickkk9969]

Yes pixlriffs!! The excitement is still there, gotta love the progression of this survival guide world its coming together so nicely!! Big heads up for the upcoming projects u got in mind 🙌

[@brin1033]

I've been setting up my starter storage the same way for over 3 years now in MC, whatever world or server I'm on, and it's made it so much easier to start storing things....and more importantly finding them ^^' I've had a lot of trouble accidentally clicking the signs so great to know about the honeycomb! I've not really followed much about 1.20 so will def be learning along with this series ^^

[@CZghost]

I must say that your method of finding a perfect seed helped me to compile a list of plausible seeds for our server's world. What I was looking for was obviously a somewhat flat terrain around spawn, and I even found some seeds where you spawn sort of besides an ocean, which kinda calls for a port themed spawn. That would be interesting, and I haven't seen a whole lot of SMPs that would have a spawn next to an ocean. Definitely something interesting to have.

[@sven2904]

Who asked

[@brokenbugz]

@@sven2904 nobody has to ask for people to voice their opinion, the world would be a very quiet place if that was the case. but i'm sure you knew that sven, have a good day

[@michellerose1804]

The use of the mangrove planks in your house is the best I've ever seen it used. The red door, the accent to the enchanting table - it looks so good! I have my final computer science exam this morning then I will be home to open up this seed and play alongside

[@02bigkev]

I have watched most of your survival guides, maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't know you could combine 2 tools to make a repair. I'm always learning. Thx Pix

[@astralaltaria5349]

Pix you should add a couple of extinguished campfires to your wood pile in the basement! Makes it look like there's smaller logs and sticks in the pile too

[@지나가리-l5b]

네

[@re.liable]

I like that storage system a lot. The enchanting room looked very spacious as well! Looking forward to the interior decors!

[@thecrazywingman7minecraft159]

So good to see this is still going. Season 1 helped me get good at Minecraft, so i am happy to see that pix is still helping beginning players.

[@thegameplayer125]

we all know 1 person who will be happy to see how well pix organized his storage system

[@CieJe.Alexander]

I feel that a certain beloved Pearlescent-Aussie-Cleaning Lady-Hermit, blesses, this episode 🌻

[@DavidWBIII]

Man, Pixlriffs you are awesome, and I can't thank you enough for making this series. It has helped me tremendously and my son who plays this game, doesn't have to help me as much as he used to. With that said, my son is going away for a month to the Philippines, and I hope to be even farther along with watching your videos, thanks again for making this series, it is tremendously helpful. I can't stress this enough for a man who games and has gamed his whole life. That includes with the first gaming console, Atari and then Coleco Vision. Nintendo dominated for years after that, but I did buy a Turbo Graphics console to add to my console world. Cheers and I can't wait for more gaming from you!✌👍👊

[@gmoney12stacks]

so very excited for a new survival series from my favorite minecraft youtuber! it’s already been such a joy to watch!

[@ClemsonNigel]

Watching this series has really got me back into Minecraft. Your breakdowns really brought me back to the slower, simpler times of past updates. Been awesome regaining that nostalgic OG MC grind.

[@dstarz423]

I have played Minecraft badly for years. Your videos have taught me so much. You explain things in a simple and easy way to follow. Thank you for your videos and taking the time to teach!

[@grutarg2938]

Of course there are so many ways to organize a storage system and you can't cover them all. One of my favorites is to put an example block in the floor in front of the storage chest. That makes it easy to see at a glance.

[@imperfectimp]

That's what I do too. Having an image instead of text to read is much faster, and you don't have to reach around item frames (plus if I accidentally hit an item frame my brain wants me to put the item right side up again)

[@trevinbeattie4888]

Hey, I was about to suggest the same! 😊

[@StaticLines]

i was watching ur minecraft tutorial/letsplays because i like your personality. i didn't think i could learn anything new about minecraft, but you have taught me so many new things it's really neat!

[@CieJe.Alexander]

Santa Perla (beloved Aussie-Cleaning Lady-Hermit) blesses, this episode 🌻 with a seal of approval 👌

[@marling013]

0:59 My heart broke at this moment. Sacred dark oak, my favourite type of wood used to create a simple chests! What a horrror, what a nightmare! I always use normal oak wood to create stuff like chests, barrels, shields and others made of wood but without a variety, since I'm not using a lot of oak in the buildings, but still I have a lot of it from farming azalea trees XD

[@alexanderhahn4398]

Dark Oak is lovely, but it also has the advantage going for it that it's relatively easy to gather in bulk if you have enough saplings - it works well for either purpose!

[@zinoubensalah8939]

i hate using barrels for storrage because it drives villagers nuts and they all want to be fishermen.

[@YaxMC]

the slabs on which you placed a barrel and chest above the stonecutter in the basement, replace them with trapdoors so it doesn't look too thick :)

[@JustMy0pinion]

Slab are okay cause they can cover the stone wall

[@thomasw1]

Oo, I’m early! Loving the series pix, your portrayal of the early game is really great :)

[@RUBRONEGRO87]

It's amazing how interesring you make the game! Also, I have been learning new things with you for years.

[@viduuu07]

23:15 Actually, they changed this in 1.20. Blocks like carpets, flowers, grass, candles, etc. Now don't interfere with the Enchanting Table

[@waveclaw]

Candles make for the perfect enchanting setup vibe, too! Combine with cobwebs and glow lichen for a creepy forbidden attic to do all your enchanting.

[@MsToshi1990]

He is literally playing on 1.20 and just proved that they indeed block it.

[@Lee-mmg]

I got my house built. It turned out just like yours! I decorated mine a bit different and used different steps outside. I love it! Thanks bunches!! I have my storage fixed up. I did my potion area and my enchantment areas and bedroom upstairs. :-) Thanks a lot, Pixl!!!

[@akshatchheda1102]

0:29 that's what it feels like when you find random $5 in your pockets once in a while

[@loupomega]

The video came out just as I was starting my storage room, perfect timing!

[@Lee-mmg]

I'm going to have some fun! :-) I needed this! OK I had no idea about dying the lettering on signs or using the glow ink to outline it! OHHH how neat!

[@NRGspook]

Love the vids pix and the pod cast, perfect timing for the uploads btw. 8:00pm Melbourne Australia

[@Yoshi14838]

@NRGspook fr I agree with you timing for uploads are perfect as an Australian

[@thatguy5233]

for a moment i was afraid every minecraft creator is just "20 ways to do that", "69 ways to do this" (and then proceed to show random unuseful features, but not even my point), but there are some gems like this channel :)

[@roberthiltz2741]

I was pleased to see that you organize your chests similarly to my own system, also thank you for reminding me about the wax on sign mechanic- looks like I need to start beekeeping to cut down on the miss clicks!

[@kahayupanchannel7678]

Got a lot of new ideas and a new technique to all-in the same blocks in a chest! Thanks!!!

[@AshleyCha-t2w]

Watching your videos make my life calmer!

[@adhritgulati6794]

Thank you pixlriffs for all of these tutorial. I can finally get slightly better at the game

[@daicaghund3587]

Did not know you could use Dyes on signs and glow sacs on them. Glad I am listening to this while playing. Thanks for the great videos!

[@LovelyLawla]

just be careful with glowing signs as they can cause a lag if you have a huge storage room due to how the game renders signs vs glowing signs. In a storage room of this size, it is fine, but if you have a much larger room (hundreds of chests) or even as part of an auto sorter, the combination of extra lag can leave you with a very jittery game due to the fps being so low.

[@themaniacrusso9611]

very nice episode again pix-san! go on like that, even if i know the most - i enjoy every single episode ^^

[@farmitzdugan]

Hey! Great video! I was thinking that since each column of chests has four containers and each sign has 4 rows of text you could just make your signs a bit more detailed for each chest/barrel.

[@tefazDK]

another advantage of barrels is that they dont cause any fps drops like chests do. If for example you were to place a lot of chests in a place your fps would start to get hit. Barrels won't have any impact on fps. at least not any less than a normal stone block.

[@nickkyri6143]

I'm not playing on Pix's seed, but I do wanna make a house somewhere directly inspired by this season's starter house, as it is tradition at this point! Though my building style requires me to know what I'm aiming for with the entirety of a house from the very beginning, so I'm excitedly waiting for his to come together! If you see this Pix, your content is awesome so keep doing what you're doing!

[@Pandaist]

Lets go! new upload. *Now* I am having a good day!!!

[@ericlee662]

fun little-known redstone fact, opening and closing a barrel actually triggers observers

[@dkal7112]

I already know literally everything about these games I just like these videos I subscribe now thank you

[@justin1730]

A zombie can not walk through a space less than 2 blocks tall, so a piece of carpet or trap door on the floor is more effective than a door at keeping zombies out. You just make sure your entrance does not have line-of-sight with your functional interior.

[@erickmatthew6033]

I suggest labeling the cobblestone column as earth or something similar if you’re going to keep earthy components in it. Been watching a while since a few episodes into season one. Used to use the survival guide to fall asleep to, but now I use the Spawn Chunks, lol. Your Season 3 seed has motivated me to play along in Bedrock on my PlayStation

[@Zalkodin]

I know how to do everything you explained but still enjoyed watching these still somehow. Nice job!

[@thejonbmc]

To expand on the magma block trick, I like to carry a few around with me when I know I'm going to be exploring underwater. I find it a bit easier than using doors because doors are harder to break underwater without the Aqua Affinity enchant, and doors are of course more expensive.

[@waveclaw]

If you are on Java with the Experimental features enabled, it can be helpful to carry around magma blocks, Lilly pads and doors in a bundle for a 'water survival' kit. Sadly, single stack items like boats, axes and picks consume a full bundle. So no Minecraft 'tool bags' until you get into late game with Shulker boxes. It would be nice if non-stack-ables counted at 8 or 16 items instead.

[@PunLlarena]

"Everything's a mess, Ooh! A Sword"

[@Yoshi14838]

Another tip for getting more air underwater is that in Java edition you can use doors to get air pockets

[@derkananldernichtshochladt7094]

You could also use a bed or even a pressure plate

[@Yoshi14838]

Yea ik I just find doors easier

[@brimal_rage]

in a pinch torches work as well if you repeatedly place them down by holding down right click.

[@matthewdutton9910]

Such wholesome content!

[@elijahgale9369]

you could put since extinguished campfires by/on the log pile!

[@Pixlriffs]

I'll save it for an episode where I introduce campfires :)

[@JuliaJohnson93]

"That's Unfortunate" Best accidental Pun so far this series.

[@Patryc]

16:43 another water exploration hack is you can build a little airpocket house to breath in

[@eonaon6914]

in relation to bees ive found birch trees the best way to farm hives once you have the flowers for the farms. They wont grow too huge vs oak or other wood types.

[@kamikazenights58]

That was some cozy gameplay dude hell yeah smart storage 😎

[@psryengrey7920]

I have a stupid amount of satisfaction in knowing that Pix organizes his items in columns instead of rows.

[@blairterry213]

I like to add vertical posts to the left of each row of chests and use item frames to label each box…takes up a lot of space but looks nice

[@wittingcave5591]

Remember when there was only 3 types of trees in the game? It turns out that Jungle tree, the fourth in the family, is 11 years and 5 months already.

[@TheTinyrobot]

My earlygame storage usually goes: 1 column of 3 chests for: blocks you dig with shovel Cobblestone, stone, crafted blocks Logs, planks, crafted blocks Gems, ingots, dust (raw materials smelts into ingots so they go there, coal is not a ingot or dust so gets to be gem) hostile mobdrops, passive mobdrops, random stuff/brewing/redstone/enchanting Armor, tools, weapons Plants, seeds, saplings and leaves Depending on the build there is space for food as well, otherwise that goes into the kitchen :D sometimes armor goes into the bedroom closet.

[@Efire76]

Best birthday gift is a Pixlriffs upload ❤

[@trevinbeattie4888]

Happy birthday! 🎉

[@TheMaddNoob]

Awesome video. Learning so much!

[@johanputter5061]

Hey Pixl, Thanks the storage basement is looking better!

[@Agent4077]

chiseled bookshelves would make that one Minecraft library feel more Library-like

[@williamjones5334]

There are a couple things which work differently on Bedrock: Double chests are automatically created, even if you're sneaking. You can prevent their creation by pushing the chests next to each other with a piston (which can't be done on Java due to blocks with inventories being unpushable), but that might be a bit expensive in early game. Barrels are cheaper again on Bedrock, using sticks where the Java recipe uses planks.

[@McLOVIN26169]

It's been a long time but you could also just shift on the sign and put labels for each chest on each sign for the row instead of just one general label . So it would be like Logs Wood Misc

[@Remm3d]

I would love some glow berries in the attic

[@mr-pr0cesss]

Really love this series

[@willjf95]

Bedrock players: your storage interface will change tile sizes in the phone, tablet and console. I recommend organizing in order horizontally, vertical organizing inside the chest will be different on other platforms.

[@YaxMC]

25:13 bro did not just make an amongus character through a bookshelf💀

[@paulikoukkari451]

im so glad someone else noticed it too

[@Flame07518]

For Bedrock Edition players, the barrel crafting recipe uses sticks instead of planks, but it will be changed to match the Java recipe in 1.20.10.

[@ellie_newtie]

Im pretty sure its already like that.. sorry if im mistaken but pretty sure it has changed

[@Irdanwen]

I like to put an example block from the chest's contents in the floor before the chests. That way I can more quickly find what I need.

[@unusuallesspyro]

For the signs, you have 3 chests and barrels, you could do each line being whats in the chest

[@jeroshhudson]

You could just label your chests like the boards on a highway i.e, ~Misc ~Wood ~Logs You could replace ~ with actual arrows to make it more like a highway sign

[@Axiie]

Great videos. The only issue with watching your series is, I'm usually playing MC at the same time. Your video has been the cause of endless "Spider & Zombie Noise Hunting"...

[@sebastianharper6884]

I wish these videos never ended! 😭

[@melonmusk6464]

11:23 so pix separated the "normal" Materials from the coloured materials? I dunno man...

[@jesse7631]

You could label 'Stone' as 'Earth Materials' since that is where things like stone, sand, gravel, come from.

[@Thunderhawk51]

An important note about using item frames on chests... If you have a huge storage building, like, a massive one, with literally hundreds of item frames with items on them, it will cause your game to slow down a *LOT.* Like, down to 20-30fps while facing my storage building and I usually had a few hundred fps. I have never used signs for that so I don't know if they'll do the same. Probably not. But yeah, I had hundreds of them. A few dozen should still be fine, even a hundred would probably be ok. But more than that and you'll start lagging like crazy!

[@RedWinterRoses]

At this point I'm resigning myself to always having a disorganized storage system -- even automation can't save me from my jumbled ways. XD

[@elliotgandersen]

25:14 that custom pattern you got there looks… well sus (or as Mumbo would say Sustainable!)

[@tctheunbeliever]

I don't know about Java, but in Bedrock you can place glass blocks above chests and the chests can still open. It comes in handy sometimes.

[@Pixlriffs]

Glass blocks have a few properties that make them different to a lot of solid blocks. We'll discuss that in future!

[@Nephet5]

I like to waterlog my chests to prevent creeper incidents

[@BellePullman]

the black text with a "glow" white outline is a total headache for dyslexia - add youtube compression and the signs become completely illegible! I wish there was a way to re-colour signs to remove the glow. But I love the fact you can wax signs so they're no longer editable - the solution to the problem of accidentally clicking on signs on chests! I'm trying to use chiselled bookshelves for enchanted book storage but it's so so hard to find what I want - most of the books are fishing loot so a mix of everything. They look really cool but honestly.... a barrel would be so much more practical.

[@williamludwick77]

On bedrock you used to be able to use a regular ink sack (not the converted black dye) to remove the glow. Not sure if that still works. Or if that didn't work on Java. But I guess the "easiest" method is to just break it and replace it.

[@hookedbycrafting5348]

Bedrock just changes whole text it doesn't outline it. So we can't actually make black text glow. Haven't tried it since 1.19 dropped though

[@Moyashi-kb3cv]

Thank you Pixlriffs Love your contents

[@pavyt694]

You could use item frames to make it look abit cleaner

[@RikkeMyE]

2:16 bedrock doesnt work like this with singlechests, sadly..

[@Anonymous20001]

I didn't know u could do these text dyeing in signs!

[@Zalkodin]

I will be using this series to get friends to play Minecraft with me lol

[@Kolvatn]

Jungle signs between oak and spruce could work nicely

[@silverutopia]

Also it would mean Pix could lose the bamboo sign, which clashes as the texture is different to the wooden signs.

[@misterseventyseven4122]

I died on hard mode then a skelelon picked up sword and shield and armour and charged me when i came back.... i didnt know they could do that

[@acetrainerojal]

something to see while drinking my afternoon milk tea

[@Techdawg77]

Pickaxe enchanting luck giving me season two vibes. 😂

[@waveclaw]

1.20 has deterministic RNG now. So if you follow along directly, you'll get the same maxed-out gear. Identical efficiency, unbreaking and fortune followed by the same in silk touch for your picks and then axes. It's surreal to see, though. Mendelson is going to need to make a comeback real soon. A mending villager is just mandatory for breaking into mid-game. It gets pricey to keep such ridiculous gear repaired using XP and diamonds.

[@GoadedGoblin]

This video was extremely helpful as a noob
