Recovery Compass, Chest Boats & More! ▫ Minecraft 1.19 Survival Guide (Tutorial Lets Play) [S2 E111]

[@kordellcurl7559]

You could put a chest boat on some ice in the nether and transport a large amount of sand/gravel/terracotta by putting shulker boxes in it.

[@greengiant1017]

Or just hire Byron and use drone to deliver more effectively

[@CieJe.Alexander]

Also you can fill it up, and then row it near a hopper to unload, then you'd be ready to go again. Could be handy for inventory sorting.

[@xxshazzy_56]

or you could use an ender chest

[@davec1085]

@@xxshazzy_56 boat chests a bit less convenient, but it's more fun going around with a boat

[@paulelderson934]

My ender chest is already partially filled. If you've got the need for a chest's worth of shulkers filled with materials, you're probably going to have some important stuff in your ender chest already.

[@boredhuman6512]

As someone who doesn't play with elytra and shulker boxes I can confirm chest boats are a godsend, very handy early game

[@KaiCrafted]

Re: chest boats, you could go on a resource gathering trip and store everything in the boat, then have a dock at home with hoppers under the water leading to your storage system, don't have to unload all the sand or terra cotta or whatever else

[@shulker_khan9441]

I like that idea. Sort if like a "port". BTdub I know someone named Kai. He's cool.

[@Timelord79]

Another use for chest boats would be villager management. You can separate a single villager without a minecart/rail setup (no iron needed), where standard boats in a group of villagers would always pick up a second one, or even worse, a zombie, skelli or creeper.

[@rooodis456]

I use them in the nether so I don’t have to mobproof my ice highways lol. Nothing gets in my boat except me now👌🏾

[@alannadena]

This also would work to hold items to trade with the villager as well.

[@syystomu]

Man, I didn't even think about that! I could have used that knowledge yesterday while curing a whole bunch of zombie villagers that kept all getting in the same boats so I had to babysit them to make sure they didn't eat each other while getting cured. Thanks for the tip!

[@Torpando]

3:00 it tracks deaths after you've updated to 1.19. Don't worry guys as long as you died in 1.19 you can craft the compass after dying and it'll work.

[@aCasualNeko]

The me that’s really not looking forward to my first Warden encounter feels validated by the sheer panic in Pixl’s voice when it popped up 😅

[@elilewis8212]

He expected it also. But not right next to him. That panic is how I feel when I see that damn thing to. Lol

[@danielrhouck]

27:29 “And with three on each side and nine on top, that’s 21 hoppers” You can put the boat on a slab and have it overlap two levels of blocks, allowing you to get two rows of three hoppers per side. Six on each side and nine on top is 33.

[@TheRealWormbo]

Now replace the hoppers with droppers and power those with an observer clock and you got yourself even twice the speed.

[@danielrhouck]

@@TheRealWormbo if you do that you can put them on the bottom too.

[@Sicarine]

​@@danielrhouck Conveniently, boats can also be loaded onto minecarts, affording one ALL of the transportability of chest minecarts with ALL of the rapid load and unloadability of the chestboat.

[@danielrhouck]

@@Sicarine I saw an Ilmango video about that but I don’t remember if he was able to fill all 42 slots or if he could only do 41 because he needed a way for the minecart to get in and out. Either way it was pretty impressive.

[@Chronorager]

Finally found my first new biome: the ancient city. I found it along a badlands biome along a river, and at the end of the river there was a massive drip stone sink hole that opens all the way down into the middle of a ancient city. On the top of along the badlands biome is several abandoned mines and the way the world generated it looks like the miners opened up the cave and were all taken out, or scared off, by the warden for mining too deep into the overworld. I love how Minecraft biomes generate and how we can look at them and create our own stories based off what we see.

[@Phantom_Zone]

That Warden scared the living daylight out of me. I might have to put the expedition to that magnificent city for a later date.

[@gingerroot3226]

I rushed it like a fool, went with less than a stack of wool, and dropped down into the middle of the city. I didn't know about the warden's sonic ranged attack and died trying to escape. 😅

[@Phantom_Zone]

I didn't know you could summon more than one Warden at a time. Good to know. Also, using different colored wool looks like a great way to keep track of where you've been. And where to run if you need to.

[@gingerroot3226]

The frog noises almost sound like creaking wood. That definitely works with the whole idea of drawers!

[@shulker_khan9441]

As I was listening to your explanation of the boat chests interaction with hoppers - I was imagining a use with boat clocks. Essentially strategically posing hoppers on top and bottom. A time item distribution. Good work Pix 👌

[@cranchymiel3554]

I think my favorite part of Swift Sneak is using it in the Nether to speed bridge when building hub paths, especially through areas where ghasts spawn. It would also make the experience of finding End cities for the player’s first elytra so much less tedious.

[@easternv1lle]

The chest boats used with hoppers has made me think about how they could be used in ice roads to transport collected items from mechanisms, farms, etc to another place.

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Imagine in servers that have honour system-based economy. You come in a waterway in a chest boat, park it in a set stall, open a barrel and place diamonds in as payment, and then hoppers come in and fill up the chest boat with items price- equivalent to the payment. Kinda like Tango's S8 Big Eyes Pass'n Gas XP system.

[@willjtc]

you can surround the shriekers and then mine it even if the sensors are around, and if there is a shrieker and sensor next to each other, mine the shirker first and the sensor can't send a signal to any around it if you have surrounded then both

[@ethanwebber3929]

I personally found the recovery compass extremely helpful because I died twice to a warden and was able to recover my equipment. Also, putting leads on chest boats in bedrock is helpful aswell.

[@gamevidsnstuff5805]

When I'm exploring ancient cities part of me is being as sneaky as possible yet part of me hopes the warden comes because I love the whole experience of trying to get away. It's fun and scary :D

[@blackhawk15897]

Another use for the Chest boat is that it can distribute into 3x3 square of hoppers evenly. Combined with the ability to also place the chest boats in minecarts, you now have new, interesting possibilities for item storage and transport.

[@elilewis8212]

I just watches Chapman go through an ancient city on Hardcore. It was absolutely hysterical. Chapman totally reckless, and Pix.. cool calm and collected. So entertaining.

The wheat field is so cute, I love the path! And wow, when the warden first appeared it really scared me lol, I didn't realise you were out of strikes at that point and it came out right next to you!

[@ReaperX7]

Chest Boats would be ideal for player made factories along waterways where a player could pull up in a boat, load the chest via a hopper, while other players work or the automatic farm continues. It's actually very industrial and a bit ingenuous in function. I do however wonder if a Chest Boat could be unloaded via a hopper as well. 🤨

[@edwinv.u1674]

Agreed I could emagine a 2block wide channelsystem where i drive a chestboat to a loaderdock with. 6 hoppers nearly instantly loading my boat than driving to some other spot to get it unloaded. Now if only hoppered-craftingtables where a thing

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

As per snapshots and betas, they could be unloaded via hoppers. I havent watched this video till the end yet, so maybe it still is a feature...?

[@ReaperX7]

@@rudrodeepchatterjee I tested it today in a Creative Test World and yes it does function. Really cool mechanic to have and it really doesn't feel late game or early game. You could even use a line of hoppers, droppers, and bubble columns to transport goods from a port to a storage house for sorting. I, actually think players could get more out of this than we realize.

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

@@ReaperX7 you could imagine in honour-system based economy servers (ex-Hermitcraft types, where people trust others to pay honestly), you come on a chestboat, park it in a stall, place 10 diamonds in a barrel, and hoppers unload 15 stacks of sand into the boat. It would work even better on bedrock, since you could hide the hoppers, and push them out to unload items when payment is recieved.

[@ReaperX7]

@@rudrodeepchatterjee delivery service would become a thing and boats would become very useful. It would also spark improvements to waterways to open up areas and create more canals. I could even see large scale mining and resource gathering operations between players using boats to shuttle things around without having to rely on the nether. Load up a boat chest full of packed Shulker boxes, and transport them down a river or across an ocean, and even then, tie then into a shulker unload and load system on whatever end is needed. I'm going to say this is a real quality of life improvement function. It's minor and isn't the same as someone with an Elytra gling back and forth through the Nether, but even then, when you're bypassing dangerous areas and just exploring in single player, it's still a useful mechanic. For servers this could take off big time. If we could get boats with leads in Java though, you could probably string Chest Boats with Llamas together for even more capacity.

Renovating an ancient city is my top thing I would love to see. Would be such a cool project

[@nathanbrittain3595]

The advert at the start for Minecraft Legends!!! It looks awesome! Also, I love this videos. They’ve helped me with a lot of stuff I never knew about Minecraft.

[@TheRealWormbo]

IMHO one of the best uses for chest boats comes from putting one in a minecart (yes, that's a thing), as you can now have a single rail line distribute items across two or three rows of hoppers. Very neat in combination with a multi-hopper speed filling system to distribute items across many furnaces in a large, yet simple furnace array. Before the chest boat, filling two rows of hoppers with a single rail line was only possible using a piston bolt, since that lets the minecart snap to the left and right in an alternating fashion, thus overlapping both rows of hoppers. And the neat thing is: You can even dispense a boat and a minecart and have one pick up the other in a fully automated way and send off as many as needed to distribute all the items.

[@14llison]

Chest boats were great pre elytra for me. I lived on the coast and set up a hopper port to drain the chest boat items into my storage system from my boat dock

[@lastsonoftennessee9895]

While I agree that chest boats will be most useful early game (especially if you go after shipwrecks and buried treasure early), I don't think they're totally useless later. Or, rather, I think they have a purpose even if they are useless. What I mean is, in Minecraft, there are a lot of super-efficient ways to do things, but sometimes (and some people) prefer to do things in a way that is cool or feels organic rather than the most efficient. So, for instance, it seems like a lot of people set up their wheat farms to look like real-life fields, which isn't necessarily the most efficient way to do it in game. And I think the chestboat could be really cool if you want to use it as a thematic element--deliberately build parts of your base along the water so you can travel between it via boat. Also, slightly unrelated, I wish we could attach banners to our boats or dye them so that they could be truly customizable.

[@jadenomore]

I spent a while making a few escape routes up to a wool mezzanine that I could tun around high above the warden. Took time but was worth it when the wardens spawned. Lol. Just made sure that the warden couldn't get onto my stairs up to it.

[@capsey_]

My guess, as someone who little bit familiar with the code of the game, is that the game from 1.19 and beyond now saves last death position and dimension in the player's NBT, but since you have died only before 1.19 the NBT data about that death wasn't recorded (why would it be, there was no need for that), which is pretty unfortunate, but Mojang obviously can't do anything about it except for time travel

[@kstringer7485]

Also as a heads up im sure you thought of it already but you could use chunkbase to find any and all ancient cities in your seed

[@jujoya]

Yes you can prolong your momentum and as long you don't hit anything you'll go faster. At first, I thought was the elytra but nah, and it works without swift week too so there's a little tip for your first ancient city raid! I'm pretty sure it does makes you faster, but could be just a visual effect just like the boat... tho it looks cool and flowww

[@rafaelsereno]

The hoppers can get the item from a chest boat if they (the hopper) are under water also. Dock unloader for the boat? This idea can be applied also to the Nether hub where you can put a item shorter at the begining and have the hopper unload once it get to the "start"

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

That was a feature of copper horns, an experimental feature added to the Bedrock Previews and Snapshots, but then removed in the full update. They had three different sounds; Look Up, look anywhere else, crouch while playing.

[@anonanonymous8856]

you can place boats with dispenser for them to line up properly but water is needed and water might change boats' position

[@tishhyde6778]

When you first came into the city there was *at least one* chest in a ruined tower on the outskirts. I don't know if you got to it in a livestream. If not, it may be worth double checking your past footage to see where it was/is.

[@Biblioholic1993]

Mm once you have elytra and shulker boxes, its not really useful no, unless gunpowder or paper are at a premium... However, its a mostly iron-light transport method for fairly early on, just need buckets or ice, there's redstone capability, and its altogether interesting. Plus in pvp situations you can preclude any enemies hopping in your boat by filling that space... definitely interesting flavor. If you can get end chests in the mid term, you can definitely transport a fair amount of items between that, the chest and your inventory between bases or build sites. There's definitely issues that its primarily gonna be no up and down movement available until you have small scale bubble elevators to act as boat locks... The biggest thing is that the nomadic, exploring and adventure playstyle hasn't gotten an upgrade for a while, and this would make it easier to start searching for saddles too. Of course, the main draw for minecraft are the very pretty or fun builds, but yeah! Inventory management is fun and all, but solutions for it are always good. This is a good solution to needing big bunches of sand early on for some kinds of farms.
