But ultimately, minecraft isn’t a game about bosses and PvE challenges. It’s about building and farming and acquiring wealth.

[@RayramAureanBlue]

"The reality is, the best way to find diamonds, is often to just run around in caves" Completely false. Strip mining is still far more efficient in locating diamonds than caving is. A cave has to intersect the diamond layers, and be exposed to the air if you're just caving. You're lucky to find two or three diamond veins even in a large cave system if you don't bother digging at all. Dig on the optimal layer where diamond spawns, and you are likely to find diamonds in far less time. That said, sometimes it's about having fun, and lobbing snowballs at an enderman in a boat is funny to think about.

no you run around in low enough caves and then as soon as your unsure whether or not you will find more caves at below y=16, you strip mine at y = 9 till you find your next cave

You could also say that the chorus fruit can save your life, as it will always teleport you to a nearby solid block, so if you're falling from a high altitude, eating a chorus fruit will teleport you unharmed to the ground

My tips: 1. Always have a boat or two at the ready in case you find a mob you really want. I’ll make two examples. Example 1. Trapping an Enderman so you can kill it without having to fight it Example 2. Trapping a wolf so you can tame it later, just in case you don’t have enough bones to tame it at the time 2. As somebody already said in the comments, turn on captions. Though there are more uses for it than finding caves. For example, I always hear people complaining about cave sounds cause it’s creepy. If you turn on captions you don’t need sound and therefore you don’t have to listen to the creepy cave sounds. With sound off and captions on instead, you don’t have to listen to stuff overlapping each other. All you have to do is look at the captions to hear if any mobs are nearby. 3. If you find a cave, make your home near inside the front of the cave. This way you can easily access your cave, plus you don’t have to go far for wood. Plus you don’t need materials to make a house. Though if you can’t find a big cave soon enough to your liking, I recommend making your house inside a mountain or inside near a tiny cave. This way you can make your own tunnel fairly easy. I also recommend putting a door to the path from the tunnel to your home. 4. When you find a big cave, it can be very easy to get lost. So what I do is bring a block that stands out from a cave (I use wood) and place your torches on there as a way back. Though it can get confusing if you put it everywhere you go so only use it for one main path. This way you’ll either go the right or wrong way. If you go the wrong way, you can easily turn back around and know you are going the right way. It’s so that if you get lost, all you have to do to find your way back is locate the wood blocks with torches on them and you’ll be way less lost. You can even use different types of wood to make different paths. Though I myself have not done this, I would say you use one type of wood for the main path back and one for a separate cave path you’re going. 5. Obtain lots of apples and gold. Now some people probably know this but for those who don’t, gold is actually pretty useful. You can use gold to make golden apples, and as I’m sure most people know golden apples are super good. 6. Make sure you are always stocked on wood and ores of every type. (redstone doesn’t exactly count imo) Now I’m sure lots of people who’ve played Minecraft know this but if you are playing with keep inventory off it’s a good idea to always have extras just Incase something happens to your gear. 7. If you want to complete Minecraft (fight the ender dragon) you’ll need to find a stronghold. I watched a video on how to find them and how to craft the item that will help you find your way. Basically you need an eye of ender. All you need to make it is an ender pearl and blaze powder. After you’ve crafted it stand on someplace tall and right click it. Pay close attention because it stops pointing very fast, also to indicate where it’s pointing you just need to look which way the particles are pointing.. You can use the eye of ender as many times as you need. I think that’s about it. Sorry if some of these tips seem dumb and simple, or they don’t help you personally. Tell me if any of these tips helped you, or if they didn’t. In fact you can suggest tips and I’ll put them on here along with your username. If you think there’s something I can do to make some of these tips better just let me know. *(Hoping people actually see this so I didn’t just waste all my time typing this on mobile.)*

you can use honey bottles instead of chorus fruit btw. Because it removes poison when drunk, you can chug 'em when you're full. You will need about twice as much honey though, as honey gives 1.2 saturation while chorus gives 2.4, so keep that in mind.

I didn't even know you could use creepers to apply potion area effects this is going to change my mob hunting style completely

[@jameVEVO]

best mining strat: C counter, go in f3, look for the number with "c" and when that number is high, you are looking towards a cave the fishing one is kinda dull, rather would auto fish so i can go do something else irl foxes are neat, but cause its a mob with ai, anything other than an auto farm that doesnt allow it to move is probably too inconsistent to rely on or use too effectively crossbows are relatively useless in terms of using multiple in combat, cause hitting any mob or player gives them i-frames, so you cant just spam damage unless you are using a crossbow per player in a 1v2, the potion "exploit" isnt really useful considering how cheap potions are to make and how much more you have to do to make the tipped arrows use effective and efficient the argument with best food is also kinda off, gapples are miles better, gold isnt hard to come by if you know what youre doing, and apples are really common if you just take out about 15-20 dark oak trees, + absorption and 5 seconds of regen 2, no need to teleport/ enter water to stop teleporting, and the fact that its healing is quicker with regen and then absorption and saturation, its alot bettter. neat idea for a video, but its kinda odd to have something like this made if the ideas in it arent optimal, as that seems to be the point of showing it off at all

[@jonathanbauer2988]

well that is the key here, we wouldnt want him spilling all of the best metas would we, we just search for good tidbits.

[@beanos9220]

Boats has a weird glitch. Get it right in a wall, via spawning it in the front of the wall at the corner. It sorta becomes black and hop into it. You may need to adjust it to see through the wall and other caves. You can also suffocate when you get out if you did it in a player height hole. You can also suffocate when the boat goes into the solid block.

Another great benefit of the piercing crossbow is not only the fact you can get infinite good potion effects, but also infinite BAD potion effects. Tipped arrows do not follow the rules of the infinity enchantment on bows. But as stated in the video they do remain when used with a piercing crossbow. This makes farming dragon breath nearly obsolete!

There is no way running around caves to find diamonds is efficient. It takes too long and when i was strip mining i literally found 24 diamonds in an hour

[@magnusanderson6681]

Yes, Sarc is wrong here. Diamonds only spawn between the levels of 16 and below, and only practically at around 13 or below. The number of caves that exist at this level are small compared to the tons of caved you'll find higher, and then there's the issue that ores are generated before caves are tunnelled which means between a cave and a somif chunk, the solid one is more likely to have diamonds within.

[@anthonys.3916]

@@magnusanderson6681 ores are actually generated after caves so your computer has to do less work when generating the ores

[@itsbtwnyouandi]

Strip mining is boring, takes pick health, and leaves you with a ton of cobble to throw out. I went into a big cave system with my fortune III pick and walked out 20 minutes later with 53 diamonds

[@JAiZYouTube]

victor if you don't want your inventory full of cobble, fill up empty slots with items you already have. Want ores? put one iron/gold ore into each empty slot, you will only pick up those ores and the cobble will lay on the floor till it despawns - works flawlessly, especially when haste mining Alternatively if you don't want any ores, just fill your inventory with any other stackable item you have, I use torches, food, or arrows since I always have a stack of those on me at all times Also underwater caves/ravines are the best for finding a lot of diamonds, because they generate below Y=14 most of the time since they're in the ocean. You just need aqua affinity and water breathing, which are both easy to get, from then on just swim around and look for diamonds.

[@michaelakers2271]

I always hear "strip mining is the most efficient!" but I've tried it numerous, numerous times with little results. I've unveiled chunk after chunk in the standard strip mining layout, spending hours tearing away at the walls to be met with a measly 20 or so diamonds as reward, with a little bit of other resources. (Gold, redstone, iron, coal). Meanwhile, I can spend about 2 hours just running around caves and return home with almost a stack and a half of diamonds, 2 stacks of coal blocks, 6 stacks of iron ore, over a stack of gold ore, bountiful lapis and redstone, plus whatever loot I pull out of dungeons or mineshafts. Talk all the technicalities you want, strip mining is no where near as effective as simply caving. And yes, that stack and a half of diamonds was procured using a fortune 3 enchantment. So was the 20 from strip mining.

Golden apples can be used in place of chorus fruit to fill saturation on full hunger, and has the added benefit of not teleporting you, however it comes at the cost of wiping extended regen I with a short 5 second regen II effect. I have used this trick of golden carrots + golden apples for food before.

[@OneNiko]

I think the best food is mushroom stew, if used right it can almost fully fill hunger and saturation no matter how low other than near starving based on my testing, however it does only stack up to 1, but through clever usage of storing it as ingredients instead of the stew itself it takes up only 4 slots, 3 more than other food, but I think instant full hunger is worth it.
