[@laurwolfxd_3830]

@@DodgeThatAttack Um yes you do Lol. I did. And I've done it quite a lot of times throughout the years. Most of the time it was 100-150 Ancient Debris. Never under 100 and never above 200. I left a sign at the entrance of every tunnel that I mined stating how long the tunnel is and how much ancient debris I got from it. All my tunnels are 10K blocks long and if not I always come back to finish them. But believe what you want I guess. You can try it if you want too. Mine 10K blocks at Y15 and see how much ancient debris you get at the end of it. I guarantee you get at least 1 stack but you'll most likely get over one stack. Not under. I should also mention that I mined all the gold and quartz I went by too and found extra Ancient Debris behind those blocks as well

Maybe a pricatical way could be to mine at level 5 and place the crystals on bedrock. This is not optimal, but you don't have to spend the obsidian.

I don't know if this is the same in Bedrock edition, but in Java, putting a block in between you and the bed will shield you from most of the damage. It does require that you build a slightly higher tunnel to put it in.

I usually go at "0,13,0" and mine in every directions, then dig a hole each sides, every 10 blocks, then I am ready for bed mining. Afterwise, I can build some Ice roads, for fast traveling. I think not being able to stack beds is the biggest disadvantage.

[@superking100]

Tbh, I find bed-mining to be very enjoyable - to each their own I guess. Also whenever you find some debris, I would recommend mining a bit around it to make sure you got the entire ore vein.

[@Nyerguds]

Yea, it's easy. Place a bed, put a block behind it, explode the bed, build a netherrack bridge over the hole to stay at Y=15 and avoid the fires, dig 5-6 blocks into opposing wall, rinse and repeat.

[@thebrushman4123]

Yeah me too, it's fun. I usually gather the wool from the woodland mansion statues to go bed mining.

[@crackedmagnet]

I tend to use tnt. But to avoid some of the lava issues I dig a long tunnel first and then blow the tnt up on the way back. This means you can look at the area after the explosion and just not deal with it if there is no debris.

[@cement_eater]

As in, you blow it up only a few at a time? That’s a good idea

[@crackedmagnet]

@@cement_eater yeah if you are heading backwards you don't have to clean up before moving forward.

[@paqshet4648]

The beds are really great for mining. The tunnels created are great for ice highways for transportation. Once you have a creeper farm and a bunch of sand, a flying machine with tnt is much more satisfying to use and doesn't leave as big a mess

[@danschmidt6206]

Yeah tunnel bores/flying machines once set up definitely fall somewhere high on the efficiency/effort scale

[@SwordTomato]

The BEST way to do it is to mine a long tunnel on a chunk border then fill it with tnt (or one block apart) you get the stuff from the mining and the tnt chain. This is best period. Not necessarily the cheapest but the most efficient. Mining on a chunk border might not be necessary but when the tnt goes off it will expose part of each chunk, which using common sense will possibly have more debris.

[@Bobbybats4295]

True

[@AliasMe76]

Yes, that's pretty much what the top All Advancements speedrunners do, although they leave a bigger gap between each TNT and ignite them one at a time, as they lay them.

[@danschmidt6206]

I prefer my 4 chunk wide TNT tunnel bores. It's definitely a lot less manual effort outside of plugging some lava holes.

[@Nyerguds]

Producing fire is not a drawback at all when mining for Netherite. It keeps the area lit up and prevents ghasts from spawning.

[@The_mrbob]

I don’t like half of my screen constantly covered in fire. Also it eats through so much food so fast. I’ll still stick with beds though, but the fire is definitely a huge negative. Just turn brightness or gamma up.

[@Nyerguds]

@@The_mrbob Yea, because turning brightness / gamma up prevents ghasts from spawning :p You just bridge over the hole and avoid all fire. There's enough netherrack around to do that with.

[@savosavic1222]

yea but beds are early game method bc they are non stackable and more manual than TNT or crystal

[@savosavic1222]

also fire from beds can cover debris that is hidden

[@HurricaneGabby]

Ancient debris spawns the most along chunk borders. Mine a 2x2 shaft, with a chunk border between the blocks. Definitely the fastest method. You can always backtrack with TNT along your tunnels to find more later, but I find tons without needing to waste time with explosives.

[@madeline6018]

I’m glad you said mining is still a valid way to do it. I find explosions so scary and hate dealing with them. Also (as you said) mining is just so much more fun to me because I can listen to audiobooks or toycat videos while I do it :) I’m sick of people judging me for not wanting to blow up my nether to look for ancient debris so thanks for not being one of those people. Explosions would need my full attention because I find them stressful. Plus XP is basically free and beds take up a lot of inventory space because they don’t stack. Also I hate automation in minecraft most of the time because it means I didn’t actually do the work for the thing if that makes any sense (plus redstone is mega confusing). In other words, mining is great for me (but if I’m ever exploding things in creative again sounds like end crystals are the way to go) Love your videos :)

In the beginning it was very stressful but now I get more AD just because it’s chill to mine. And to think that the first two months of having this game I didn’t enter any cave because I was so scared of dying 😂 ( yesterday i was finally brave enough and slayed the dragon for the first time all by myself! And I didn’t even use any netherite items out of fear I would lose it 😂) Tomorrow I’m finally going to the end cities to get an elytra and I’m very excited about that.

Ancient debris also often generate not connected in anyway, so make sure to dig 3 block in every direction from the source ancient debris. I also have a ghast farm which gives me ~4K gunpowder an hour, so gunpowder isn’t an issue lol.

[@ashleysvoboda8331]

18:49 It's also worth mentioning that if you try to mine ancient debris with anything less than a diamond pickaxe, it won't work. I've had to run back and forth between dimensions so many times because I only had an iron pickaxe with me when I went looking for it.

[@TheStix913]

I decided about a month ago to start a giant build project in the nether that included digging a 100 by 100 cylinder from the bedrock floor to the bedrock ceiling. Which now I realize was a terrible idea but I'm still working on it. I've got all the way from the roof down to 23 blocks down to go. So far I've filled 3 double chests with netherrack full shulker boxes, 2 shulker boxes with nethergold, 3 with netherquartz and 53 pieces of ancient debris. Some of the blocks have been lost as I have 2 shulker boxes full of wool in my bed blasting and used gold to make lots of boots to stop the piglins from attacking me. A lot of my time has been spent watching your older videos while slowly working away at this. Oh yes and I'm doing this all on my phone so digging is sometimes a bit janky.

[@oftendead3228]

I find just mining long tunnels can be quite therapeutic. The only thing I would add is use a fortune 3 mending pick and mining any quartz you find which repairs your pick as you go and the bonus of getting plenty of quartz

[@turt4046]

As far as bedrock edition goes, because there are no giant lava pockets, strip mining is my go to. If you have mending on your pick you won't ever run out of duribility thanks to the netherquartz, and you don't need to worry about resources at all. You also don't need to deal with fire everywhere. Might be just me but it seems to take less time to use a pick than get and use beds.

[@Lizz-8864]

I use crystal mining there’s a way to chain it and get rid of the obsidian so u get more yield of area. Tho yea the cost isn’t great

[@djmasey420]

I found, when mining for ancient debris, that if I run into lava I will mine a block in front of me so I can get closer to the hole with little chance to catch on fire.

[@kevinac4130]

If you're using the bed method, don't just place the bed after digging only 3 blocks, instead dig 6 blocks hole to the left and right and place the bed at the end of the hole, use shield to block any damage, with that method i can get a stack of ancient debris using only 3 shulker boxes full of beds, you can get a lot of wool by making a simple auto wool, you can build those as many as you want to get more wools but for me one is enough

[@master0poker84]

Wrong about the air exposure time with mining. Every 1 block mined exposes 4 other blocks to air (in a 1 wide, 2 tall tunnel), so you would need to mine 45 blocks to get 136 exposed to air. Love your videos, keep them coming 👍

[@Rocketcraft]

Tnt is the most efficient method from my experience. It chains ok if you space it out 2 blocks apart, dig a long tunnel at Y15 and then run back placing tnt then ignite when you get back to the start again. Creeper or ghast farms are pretty easy to set up, you just need a bunch of sand at that point. End crystals chain insanely well and will auto destruct for hundreds of blocks if spaced correctly(Y12 9 blocks apart) but the extra obsidian placement does make them a bit of a pain. But late game they are very satisfying to play around with. Beds work for sure, but Greg make so much mess and lots of fire causes lag on low end devices. So whilst they are fine to use early game to get your first couple of debris, I’d honestly rather strip mine for the stuff.

[@GamingStar95]

If you are able to set up a Creeper Farm for gunpowder, then the TNT method is by far the best. Less risk of taking any dmg, not as much fire as a bed exploding, and can chain explosives every 4th block of TNT placed, and can be activated with any redstone triggers from afar. I usually Dig in a straight line till I can't go any further. Then I dig out long tunnels left and right. skipping every 2 blocks and digging straight till i can't go any further. Placing TNT in every alley, and hoping your PC doesn't explode, Watch the fire works. Literally. I make a portal inside, grab a couple of fire resist potions, at least 10 empty buckets, and some scaffolds to reach the lava-fall. with such a wide open area, you can easily pick apart the Netherite, Gold ores, and Quartz as you see fit. If you are picky like me, you can plug up some lava holes as some netherite might be buried underneath that lava.

[@HatInLime]

So I think beds work best for short-term, quick grinding, but TNT works better as a long-term method as you can farm both creepers and sand and while yes the farms take effort to set up once you set them up it's as easy as afking the farms to get as many resources as you need, then just making a line of TNT and blowing it up in succession.

[@dirtylabrat958]

I strip mine with tnt. You dig a 2 tall tunnel then drop a stack of tnt on your way back to the start. Ignite a chain reaction, build a 1 block bridge at 15 to help avoid and clear lava. Then move over and do parallel tunnels and the tnt will connect the tunnels which lets you easily fly around later. I went crazy and made about a dozen full sets of netherite armor and tools.

[@tomkimmel8157]

[@danikirk5774]

Netherrack can be instantly mined with a Stone Pickaxe (at least in Bedrock edition). Even if it isn't enchanted

[@rubylikessonic2]

If you are going to mine for netherite with a pickaxe you should do it at a chunk border and do it in a 2x2 tunnel cuz of the way it spawns in chunks etc

[@Garde538]

Pro tip, take all the materials to make beds with you, fit much more in your inventory

[@xael1005]

The most effective method for was going to Y15/16 with an efficiency 2 diamond pick and mining in 2x2 tunnels along chunk borders, I found 20-ish super easily. Also if you have mending all the quartz and gold exp will fix it right up. only challenge is finding your way back but even that's not too bad if you set some landmarks

[@Armoless]

I mine 500 blocks straight, then back out with beds. And do that over and over and over. I did a stack of beds once and got a stack of ancient debris in return. That was my best haul ever. Found 2 nodes of 6 each which im fairly certain is the max amount per chunk.

[@AmixLiark]

To be clear, you actually increase your chances of finding ancient debris by focusing your searches UNDER the lava ocean where there are the least blocks between the ocean and the ceiling. Ancient debris can't have air contact meaning that it must spawn either above the ceiling or under the lava ocean. Fire resistance potions are highly recommended because sometimes to need to take a warm dip. Pick chunks with huge chasms in between the ceiling and ocean. Note that you can see which biome you are in (in java) and if you are in a crimson forest Hoglins will spawn in your Mines. Oh and avoid basalt wastes because the blocks there are more blast resistant.

[@Garde538]

Lava oceans 💪

[@Baseballcardkingz]

I absolutely love the bed method. It's saved me countless hours.

[@micayahritchie7158]

I feel like using fire resistance on bed mining is a waste when on bedrock 7 levels of fire protection means you instantly go out If you catch fire.

[@SolarisGO]

I always bring fire resistance potions for bed mining in the Nether and also have a set of blast protection (diamond) armor for it

[@rufinomedado3184]

For me, it has to be TNT. The primary readons for getting it once you have the capacities like a creeper farm and a large desert with a good shovel, you have as much as you want AND you can stack TNT to 64. You can chain TNT while runnung down hallways with a flint and steel. With beds, sure you can have sheep farms but the wool is manual and you cant obtain it super fast, as for end crystals, its gard to farm for ghasts and you still have to gather obsidian. TNT is the way to go.

[@shadowemperor5177]

Bed mining is actually really easy. Just place a block at your feet between you and the bed and you take like half a heart of damage. Also immediately look down and put out any fires and then check above for lava, and then continue

[@estherson7163]

one extra con about beds is that you can't stack them tho

[@jakubvalenta7803]

I blew up 40 beds and I did not found even one ancient debri. Bad RNG I gues

[@CHPS_]

I don't get why mining at 15 is best but then it's a good thing that blowing a bed or TNT gives you levels above and below that. Surely a 8x8x8 hole means that 3/4 of the blocks revealed to air are at suboptimal levels. If i mine a 2x1 tunnel, then each block forward reveals 6 blocks to the air and mines two blocks, all at the optimal level. Seems a lot more efficient than fiddling around with crafting beds or TNT. With an unbreaking, mending, efficiency pickaxe you just dig, seems pretty simple to me

[@Jamie-813]

Toycat Sir, you say the bed doesn't work in the Nether, but it appears to be doing a very good job.

[@Honkh]

I go for the mining method, because I love the chilled way of playing Minecraft and it gives me more time to talk about more or less interesting stuff to my few viewers. ;)

[@tracematson385]

i do a hybrid of these methods, i bring shulker boxes with me and a bunch of fire resistance potions, then just sprint in a straight line while mining like a mad mana not even looking at the screen, looking for the ancient debris only on the way back.

[@brandonturner759]

I do T style branch mines i mine for 100 blocks or so turn around then mine the blocks in my face for my full reach then if you get the right angle you can run along the wall and clear out the whole area downfall is lava is a bit harder to patch but if ya find lava immediately mine a block below it to prevent the flow

[@THE_bchat]

Mostly I'll dig in a straight line. Beds are messy, and I don't like wasting gunpowder on tnt. Plus, when you open-up large areas, it gives mobs room to spawn. Nothing more annoying than accidentally looking at an Enderman that you couldn't see through the fire. It's not that I don't use beds or tnt at all. Sometimes I will use them to open things up on my way back to my portal if I'm in the mood to do so. I've also stopped using chests in the Nether, and have gone to storing things in Droppers instead.

[@theoshufelt1286]

Turn that flint into emeralds! You can sell it to villagers (ie fletcher or smiths).

The best way is actually to mine on the border of the chunks

[@lordkrishnastolemyheart5485]

A helpful tip would be to have mending on your pickaxe should you mine. Then you can repair it every time you run across some nether quartz!

I always use exporters, but I’m done are used to pickaxe to clean up the edges with exploding have happened

[@CyberCat3O]

The method that's worked best for me is to mine a tunnel on a chunk border and put tnt every 3 or so blocks to quickly explode a massive area.

I appreciate the couplets rhymed, While watching the the cat-man as he mined

[@someoneintheirinternet]

if you mine 2 blocks ahead, you expose 8 Blocks. One on top, one on the bottom, two left, two right and two in front. Saying that, one only has to mine 27 Blocks to the front to expose 216 Blocks. Though when mining with a bed or TNT, there are also still blocks that weren't considered. Just wanted to say that the calculations for how much gets exposed seamed a bit off

I think Toycat missed a method called wither mining.
