[@davidumann6707]

An iron shovel has 250 durability, yours was on half health when you got it. This means you can shovel up about 125 snowballs, which makes 31 blocks. The spawn radius is 24 blocks, you can make about 5-6 spawnable blocks by building out in a straight line, before you have to grind for another shovel.

[@WaterMelwin]

126

[@skeptikmavi6743]

But when he got more block its gonna be easier to get more shovel+getting %100 shovel is near impossible but if he get enough for 24 it would be soo much faster cuz zombie can spawn without suffering

good luck on your journey to the dried kelp block! I think it's the hardest block to get in this challenge since you can't get lava or stone. The process is like this: - build enough snow in a line to get mobs without the void thing. - use mob drops like iron (trapdoors), glowstone (dust), slime blocks, or string (wool) to expand the platform slowly into an automatic mob grinder - get an emerald from foxes that spawn on albert (or get baked potatoes from burning zombies to turn into emeralds with the trade rebalance) - buy oak sapling from wandering trader to grow on albert (its risky but you can redo if you get unlucky or buy podzol or moss) - get apples - breed pigs (if you can, you should buy podzol or moss and turn to farmland to farm carrots but its not necessary) (and hopefully pigs spawned or you need more grass which you can get via moss/rooted dirt and grass spreading) - get pigs struck by lightning until you get 8 gold ingots (it would be nice if at this point you bought a water bucket and used glass bottles/cauldron to get infinite water, which allows you to turn zombies into drowneds for copper for lightning rods but not necessary) - craft golden apple - lure witch to zombie villager and get her to splash him with weakness, then use the golden apple to cure villager - repeat to get villager farm - farm carrots or something idk to get ez emeralds - buy kelp - trade with fisherman until he gives you a campfire - cook kelp into dried kelp block :)

[@Pudding5433]

I believe the reason it took so long for mobs to spawn is because the local difficulty was still too low in the spawn chunks and the difficulty goes up the longer you stay in a area

[@BluePsychoRanger]

Local difficulty doesn't increase the chance for mobs to spawn. The reason it takes so long for mobs to spawn is because the way Minecraft chooses a spawn location is by selecting one column that's within 128 blocks of the player, then spreads the chance between the bottom of the world and the highest block (the grass block), so it's basically a 1/100000 chance per tick or 1/5000 chance per second for a mob to spawn.

18.59 that deserves being in my song list

[@ethanscott9761]

There was an 8.94% chance of that zombie spawning with a shovel in 9 attempts, here's the math (I think): When jumping off the 1x1 platform , there are three mobs with weight 100 that can spawn, Zombie, Skeleton, and Creeper. Since they are equal weight, that means every time a mob spawns there is a 33% chance it will be a zombie. The odds of a zombie spawning with a shovel (assuming he is on hard difficulty) is 3.33% chance. To combine the probability of those odds you simply multiply them, so 0.33 * .0333 = 0.10989 or 1.0989% chance. That would be the odds of getting it in his first mob encounter, but in order to calculate the odds of him getting it in nine encounters we need to use the compliment rule to simplify the calculation, so 1 - 0.10989 = .989011. The probability of the mob that spawns not being a zombie with a shovel in 9 encounters is represented by (0.989011)^9. So in order to find the probability of the mob being a zombie with a shovel can be represented by 1 - (0.989011)^9 which is .0894 or 8.94%. Keep in mind, this is just the odds based on his encounters, this has nothing to do with the odds of a mob actually spawning each time he dies. But he did get pretty lucky, which is good because he could've been spending another 3 months doing this annoying part lol.
