The Nether Is OP - Ultimate Guide 1.20

[@derfret1365]

The most important thing to take to the nether is a good bow. It's much better than in the overworld because you don't primarily have to deal with mobs in caves but in open areas. You can pretty much cheese your way through bastions with bowspam, ghasts become much less scary and blazes have a much lower range than you. You avoid not only certain death, but also all the little portions of damage you get from killing mobs in melee, so you burn through food much slower. All in all, bows are very good

[@mommafist]

Thank you. I learned so much from this comment. 😊❤

[@Dominic-o6r]

[@D3F1CAT0R]

We’re movin to the nether moving to the nether oooohoohoooho🎶🎶

[@matthewbaier766]

Most underrated comment here. Bastions are close to impossible without a bow Unless you have unlimited golden apples or a massive amount of enchanted apples

[@magnumra3911]

I especially recommend trying to get the infinity enchantment on a bow if you plan on spending any extended amount of time in the nether so that you don't ever run out of arrows!

[@DavidStrchld]

I've started to use fire resistance potions in bastons and had great 'game changing' success with it. 1: lots of fall into lava 'traps' are no more 2: the bucket of lava that I use on brutes can't backfire on me 3: Ghasts who seem to show up at the worst time are far less of a threat 4: in the main treasure / magna cube spawner area, simply drop down into the lava and swim, brutes can't get you, and take out the cubes and the spawner from there then the bucket for the brutes and claim the treasure.

[@flamingviperv12]

Even as a veteran, currently late game hardcore java player, I've always enjoyed watching these videos because I can always learn something that may actually be handy in my own world even though it's on a different platform. I think this setup for the video is a really interesting and helpful one, and I think it would be a great idea to do a video similar to this one but for Ancient cities if you haven't done one before. A lot of players like myself honestly do not have the confidence to enter them and get the loot from them because of the warden, I think showing off techniques on how to avoid spawning the warden to make it easier to traverse and loot them would be a great video.

[@mommafist]

Yes!

[@THE_bchat]

Ancient Cities aren't that bad. The worst part for me is finding them. I take Night Vision potions so that I don't miss any chests. If I accidentally spawn the Warden, I just run as soon as I hear him digging his way out of the ground. If you get far enough away to lose the Darkness effect, he won't be able to track you down.

[@magnumra3911]

lots... and lots... of wool is your best friend since it makes your movements silent.

[@matthewbaier766]

Honestly the best way to loot a treasure room bastion is to start from the top and slowly make your way down with a fully enchanted bow, plenty of arrows, a few boats and some blocks to stack. When I say slowly I mean slooooooooooooowly. The Brutes are super deadly - even in fully enchanted netherite armor. Go down level by level killing everything you see with your bow. When only magma mobs remain, here’s what I recommend: If you have a potion of slow fall, jump from high up directly below the chest or chests, loot them, run away and build up and out of the structure. If you don’t have that potion, then make sure you have feather fall IV and jump down from a medium distance and do the same thing. You’re gonna get hit quite a few times, but grab the treasure and leave and you’ll be fine

[@Personallydoezthingz]

I will use use this guide next time

[@matthewbaier766]

If you want to be a sigma Chad, then take off all your armor, drink a potion of invisibility, potion of slow fall and a potion of fire resistance. Bring a couple stacks of stacking blocks and a hopper or two. Jump down and float to the treasure while invisible, put the hopper below the chests, take the items from the hopper then build back up. Way faster but super risky haha.

[@Personallydoezthingz]

[@BeardedMan8319]

You forgot three very important things. 1. You can use a saddle along with a fungus fishing rod to ride a strider across the big lava oceans. 2. By crafting a respawn anchor, you can respawn in the nether. 3. There is ancient debris.

[@nerdpopeking]

This was very much absent important information

[@bigleeneth]

I think this is more beginner information. Respawn anchors and ancient debris are endgame. And saddles are kind of rare and a newer player probably wouldn't be going to the nether an traveling by lava right away lol. Years ago when me and my buddy first went to the nether we always made sure the portal was in sight. If we couldn't explore it without seeing the portal, we didn't go there. We also were on the Xbox 360 and you couldn't tell your coordinates unless you had a map out.

[@matteojohnston733]

I’m so glad you made this video. I feel like I barely know anything about the nether and this has really taught me a lot. love your videos! hopefully no nether polar bears come after me 🔥🐻‍❄️

[@zainali-lm4zr]

Bedrock is crazy, zombies went through my portal and robbed my loot all while I'm stuck on the nether loading screen. Even a shield doesn't help

[@Brian-ib9kq]

Yeah that's some glitch huh always happens to me I'm loading in and I get attacked and die. Like wth is that shi

[@coreywallace6131]

You just have to close off your portal from the other side as well, at night if mobs have access they just walk in and usually don’t get far and boom ambush you, had to learn this the hard way and fence off my portal for now

[@misspat7555]

Outro joke was cute, 8/10. Properly preparing in the overworld first (enchanted diamond armor and sword, plenty of good food like cooked beef or pork chops, at least a few iron pickaxes or diamond is better, plus the stuff you mention here) and tunneling to where you want to go are definitely the keys to surviving the nether, though I’ve developed some skill with strider riding (which you oddly don’t cover here). KZbinrs make it look like just charging across basalt deltas is a good idea! It is NOT! 😱

[@tctheunbeliever]

More like frantically scrambling and dodging and jumping around basalt deltas.

[@rhinomoxie]

For nether fortresses- GET BOATS. Both blazes and wither skeletons can get caught. Also use those for Bastian. Slabs galore, they stop stuff from spawning. Put slabs everywhere. Floor, ceilings, stairs. Then when you need blazes use the spawner, if withers, use outside walkways, they are more common.

[@jrooch4997]

The inner hallways of fortresses actually contain many more spawn spots for wither skeletons on Bedrock edition

[@metagamer2668]

I really enjoy the nether now, I'd say the hardest part in the fortresses wither skeleton & blaze. Very rarely do I die to anything else!

[@metagamer2668]

My last world, I spawner in bassalt delta, in the middle of a bunch of lava, surrounded by Magma cubes. My nearest Fortress was in the middle of a soulsand valley. Was a rough start but made for a great withered skeleton farm! XD

[@IamGrief887]

Soul sand is great for setting up a mob killing field. It affects hostile mobs in the overworld the same way it affects the player. Soul sand is also what makes an up elevator.

[@Skyler-vd6fw]

I pick you over eyecraftmc for this stuff, you are a rare bedrock KZbinr And you have good music…

[@sird4vy501]

You're one of the best Minecraft KZbinrs there are, I can actually watch your entire video without saturation like others. Luv u. Also bedrock players rocks.

[@tctheunbeliever]

One thing I finally realized is that you can place blocks (cobble or whatever) out in front of you while you're still in the portal, just in case the game stuck the portal in a deadly spot (like a wall on one side and a drop into lava on the other). I'll vote for basalt delta for worst biome. You can't even run.

[@elciofonseca4275]

45% is almost everyone, most people don't beat the games that they buy(witch is a fair way to play btw), so 45% of people going to the nether is probably 80% or 90% of people who really played the game. i've opened true achievements and it says that 55% of people have this achievement(Into the Nether) so i will use 50% to be fair (45% ~ 55% = 50%). obs: i'm not a math teacher but i think that my calculations make some sense, i'm sorry if i'm wrong. 88% of people have the "Benchmaking" achivement, witch is basically "craft a crafting table", this makes our 50% go to 56%. 74% have the "Acquire Hardware", witch is "smelt an iron ingot", this makes our 50% go to 67%. 63% have the "Diamonds" achivement, witch is basically "mine diamonds", this makes our 50% go to 79%. now let's say that everyone that got the "Into the Nether" achivement got the diamonds one first, this would mean that almost 80% of people that got diamonds have gone to the nether, so 45% and 55% are not real numbers because most people give up before having even iron.

[@THE_bchat]

Not sure how you're justifying your percentages, but I'll agree that "45% of people who play the game have been to the Nether" is most likely wrong, since it's only counting players that got the achievement. So, if someone turned on cheats to keep their inventory, stop mob griefing, or turn off fire spread, then it won't count that person as "going to the Nether".

[@elciofonseca4275]

​@@THE_bchati am using the inverse rule of 3 so every time the 100 go down the 50 go up this means that as the player base "decrease" we have a smaller sample of players that matter. edit: let's say that we have 100 players, 45 of them have gone to the nether but only 63 got diamons, if we consider diamonds as a pre-requisite to go to the nether them we don't have 100 player, we have 63 and from those 63 only 45 have gone to the nether, that was the ideal behind the math, even though i don't know if it's right.

A pro tip for nether gold ore: if you use silk touch and smelt the ores instead you get one ingot per ore which is more than even if you mine it with fortune 3

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

My first three Nether portals were directly in the middle of a pool of lava. With the 4 sec lag died so many times. Next two were also in and near a huge lava bed and 10 to 15 lava spring monsters. That 4 sec lag killed me many many times. Never did the portal after that.

[@takenname8053]

I definitely need this, no matter how many times I got to the Nether I always loose my stuff.

[@VeryMuchCraft]

2:32 That is until the invisible polar bear biome gets added

[@parito4427]

I know this is late, but if you're in the 'best bastion' in the nether, you many blocks with you and a good pickaxe If you're in the middle, in this treasure spot with the guatanteed upgrade, i recommend that you destroy one line of blocks that connect the tiny bridge and the treasure spot. That way, the piglin brute can come at you while you loot the chests. Remeber that the magma cubes are still there, so better fill the tiny gaps on the treasure 'island'

[@amberorth9272]

[@ToastNBlocks]

[@bentanner9448]

One thing I find very useful for bridging in the nether on bedrock is that it’s actually possible to build bridges whilst sprinting and jumping. You just have to place a block underneath you, move your mouse down really fast whilst still holding the place button, so that you look at your feet, and then walk

[@Noxtix_66]

Bro became bear gylls in the last clips 🤣🤣

[@mattbeisner8338]

[@Count_Goatenberg]

Disagree on the soulsand valley: just jump-run everywhere and you won't be slow - no need for Soulspeed. Do bring a bow though, much less of a headache dealing with Skelebobs at range.

[@uhhguu0o]

Another tip, the lava oceans only usually go from y30 to y 23 or 22. If you fall into lava in full protection 4 diamond armor you get 35 seconds to sink, start nerdpoling up while swimming, and on the last block go to the side to place it correctly and get out. This is also helpful for making highways, allowing you to completely avoid lava oceans entirely and mine in relative peace

[@MofoMan2000]

It's even easier to use the nether to traverse the overworld if you just build portals on the nether rooftop. Nothing spawns up there so it's basically completely safe.

[@Kanta82]

I think one big reason that half of players never go to the nether might be that a third of players never manage to get wood.

[@douggiles7647]

Powdered snow is actually the closest thing to a water bucket in the Nether since it's way more similar than placing a hay bale or twisting vines, or is that only in Java?

[@MoleculesAndMinecraft]

I don't understand people who think Crimson Forests are easier than even Nether Wastes. I would personally consider them the second hardest biome after Soulsand Valleys. I actively avoid them because every time I spend longer than 1 minute in one, I get two-shot by a Hoglin. Better than being shot to death by a literal firing brigade, but definitely harder imo than Nether Wastes (where you can see everything for miles around, piglins don't bother you if you wear gold, and Ghasts give a warning shriek before they fire a blob that you can literally repel with fist spam), and even a bit harder than Basalt Deltas (where the biggest issue is easily fixable with a bunch of cheap cobblestone- the terrain).

[@THE_bchat]

Just keep warped fungus with you when you go through a Crimson Forest and hoglins aren't a problem anymore.

[@martinaccorsi927]

How can you place a block right in front on the one you’re standing on while building a bridge? I usually have to slowly move on the edge of it and to crazy camera movement to place te next block if I’m building the bridge I’m waking on

[@BenitoTheSly]

you can also use a powdered snow bucket in place of a water bucket

[@pain.n.a.game513]

I highly recommend using scaffolding for fall damage for the easy way you can place scaffolding and let it fall and then fall on it and take no damage safer easier

[@z0mb1e564]

Whenever you look at game achievements to judge how much of the community has unlocked them, you should always normalize the value by checking what percentage of players have achieved the achievements you get for just playing the game. For instance, only 83% of players have crafted a wooden pickaxe (Time to Mine!) so about 17% of players aren’t playing survival at all.

[@takuyamagata]

15:18 how are you placing blocks midair? is this only for bedrock?

[@Just_Shaun]

Yeah, bedrock only - the game assumes that you want to build out when you place a block on the edge of another (assuming there aren’t other blocks within range beneath you). It’s not completely ‘midair’, as you can’t place blocks on air obviously.. but is an amazing QoL feature, and gets rid of the awkward crouch placing on Java.

[@maskthatsit5925]

Ohhhh it's been years since I watched one of your videos😂 I feel old saying that

[@key_bounce]

First, you could not have come up with a better way to die than that. Congrats. Second: Does bedrock really let you place a bridge while walking forward at full speed? Java, you have to face backwards, go slowly, and place a block while half-on, half-off the last block.
