I love these detailed episodes. As someone who plays a lot of Minecraft but doesn’t always know “why” something is the way it is, Pix has got it covered 🖤
I agree! As somebody who has been playing Minecraft for 6 years and only found out about pix’s channel at the start of empires SMP it just made me think how much easier learning to play Minecraft would have been if I had known about him sooner, but instead I kinda had to figure out how to play the game by myself which was fine to
Omg dude yes, I've been playing minecraft since beta (holy crap was it really a decade ago?) but I was a horrible builder and never ever touched redstone because it was so intimidating. I never did much research on the wiki or anything. The survival guide series elevated my game to such an incredible level, I'm so glad I found this series!
I know he's explaining things to me that I've known about for years, but hearing them again from his voice makes me feel like I'm learning quantum physics with ease
Pix briefly mentioned this, but I think it’s important to reiterate how important holding shift, or crouching, is while moving along precarious or narrow passageways, especially when pillaging up. When crouching, your character will never walk off a ledge
I was wondering how all the players I watched were so brave when creating horizontal paths up high (or over lava)! A total noob thing not to know - so thank you from a noob. 🙂
@@skysoldier31 unless you are directly under a block when shifting. They made it so that you need to jump a full block to fall off thr ledge. If you dont have that much space when you jump then you wont fall off
I’ve been playing for 8+ years and I don’t hold shift when I need to simply because tumbling off of stuff is pretty funny, especially in 1.18. Worth losing those diamonds and items lol.
Living in a new world without my massive farms is starting to frustrate me a bit. That's why I decided to follow your pace and it really helped me enjoy the early game again. Thanks.
Same, I have basically everything and massive farms I’ve built in a friend‘s multiplayer server, but starting from scratch in a singleplayer world has been quite daunting although made better for me by these videos
What I do is make bootleg versions of the farms until I can get up and running again. They're garbage and not afk capable, but they get me supplies, albeit in smaller quantities than we'd like.
When I need to repeatedly traverse confusing terrain in the early game, I like to place a campfire on a pillar above tree level. The smoke rising from the campfire is visible from a very long distance if it's rising above the horizon.
@@Raskolnikov70 i remember making waypoints by placing a block of sand, torches on each side, then a 3 tall cactus and finally a lit peice of netherrack. I did this after learning that cacti don't burn, it would have been much more effective if cacti weren't tile entities with a reduced render distance, but the pillar did have good contrast and the light was highly visible. (This was back on the 360, good times) Now i would recommend just using a jack-o'-lantern with the face facing your base, and then stack a few high contrast blocks for the biome (Red, Yellow, Lime work well)
@@evilferret1453 but pillars are much more immersive and don't rely on the debug screen (notably missing from bedrock, granted we have show coords gamerule) which can be intimidating. Also we now have loadstones so you can have a compass that always leads you home. (I highly recommend this for endbusting since the end is very samey)
@@jasonreed7522 if your worried about immersiveness, I found it's really nice to keep all of my important coords in a book in my enderchest/inventory, so I can check that if I'm ever lost or trying to get somewhere specific
I totally had the same thought about being glad you didn't immediately stumble upon a Super Cave, the progression from tiny to a medium cave felt like a natural progression in keeping with the series as a whole ^^

I love that this series goes slower than most of the other let's Plays, I always find myself rushing the beginning of minecraft and this new, slower look is nice.
I made a comment on episode 100 of your last season about how this series never gets old and I still 100% stand by that, 1.19 and 1.20 will be better updates with your videos
I love how everything in the world seems to fall into step with the pace you're taking the series. This is the third time you've started a guide like this, and not once has the world made it difficult on you. Or perhaps I should give you more credit for rolling with what the world gives you.
I like how you randomly started staircasing down and as you talked about finding iron that way, you found it, then also found a cave. The world hears Pixl.
love the slow pace in these videos. watching other let's plays makes it feel like early game is just a rush to get diamonds and get into mid/late game, but actually early game is a really enjoyable part of the game when you slow down and enjoy it
Man, hearing you bring up the survive and thrive series with PaulSoarsJr brought me back when I was still in elementary school watching him back when the game was still in like 1.3. Its absolutely wild how time flies that much, and equally wild how far Minecraft has come since then. Cheers Pix :)
Ironically i never use it, i just never needed to. I just have good spacial reasoning/sense of direction that is partially from real life and partially from videogames. That said i know a lot of people need it, i remember having to constantly go on rescue missions to save my older brother when we played split screen on the xbox 360. Back when coordinates were shown on maps while you held them (and were locator by default). Those were good times. Now we have massive caves so i think making waypoint pillars by your entrance to a cave may be an addendum to the torch trick.
Thank you for this series! Going back the roots of explaining the basics is such a refreshing take for a lot of us who have to constantly google how to ________ in Minecraft. While I enjoy some of the hyper fast super edited series out there, this is geared for everyone, and trust me, everyone will learn something. I’m building my new world right along with you, so again, thank you so much!
Here are some small tips/facts if you play Bedrock addition! 1. If you are in a cave, you will hear scary noises. These are ambiance sounds. They don’t mean that you are in immediate danger. 2. Shields can be placed in your offhand, but they cannot be used by right clicking. You have to sneak, or hold shift. 3. Mechanics are slightly different if you play this version of Minecraft, so if you originally play Java, just keep that in mind if you end up converting to Bedrock. Bedrock is the cross-platform-friendly version of Minecraft, while Java is only meant for a computer and you have to have a server for multiplayer (I think? I have only played Hypixel on Java so I am not 100% sure about the server thing, but I think so) 4. Bedrock is slightly buggy and kind of slower. Doing cluthes and MLGs are harder to do since the game doesn’t process the movement as quickly as Java does.
13:30 The man, the myth, the dad himself. Many boys and girls have been watching that man do his series, alone and/or with his kids back in the day, and as such a person, I am still subscribed to him and watch his minecraft series every now and then.
Love the slow pace to everything. Idk if that's just the boomer in me (not boomer in age btw, only in spirit), but I really enjoy the slower side of things when the minecraft youtube community is filled with let's plays that head straight to the end fight before episode 5.
Hey Pixlriffs, the sloped cave in front of your door looks like you could make a neat mine entrance out of it, maybe have a hopper minecart drive up to drop off items in a a rock variants storage? Really like your good-natured approach, greetings :)
@@legendracer4861 I think you're right, I saw the double world tour with Pixlriffs! Man, I didn't even know where I got the idea from when I commented, only knew that I picked it up somewhere. But it *is* terribly convenient. That's why I never understood why Etho for example didn't have his branch mine underneath the man cave.
I met Paul Jr when I started playing back in version 1.6. He's a good man, has a awesome channel, and taught me alot in the early days of Minecraft on his Survive And Thrive series. Thank you for telling others about this man 👍
Paul was the man who got me into Minecraft all those years ago. He was also the first big UA-camr who responded to one of my comments. Nothing but respect for the absolute legend.
Love the slower pace of this series! A reminder that we don’t always have to rush and get everything fast for the endgame and it’s ok to take it one step at a time.
It's fun watching him build up this world with nice little touches and ideas. When I first spawned into this world seed, I thought huh, I don't think I like this terrain, but I think it's really beginning to look like the spawn chunks for this seed have potential!
Hey Pix! Love you on Empires and miss you there but I am so glad you started a new survival series. You were the first one I watched after starting to play last year. My grand kids introduced me and got me hooked. Even though I play on Bedrock you have helped me up my game significantly and introduced me to some great bedrock players for those “sticky” mechanics between the two. Love your stuff! Keep it up 👍
I used to come up with names for areas of bigger caves & slap signs around--not practical for light spelunking, but for heavy-duty spelunking or an underground build, it might be helpful
Putting torches on the left while caving seems so backwards to me, of course it works but I prefer the right. I came up with my own adage years ago to help ppl remember it: "It's only right to keep your torches on the right, so you can follow them on the left when you want to have left" In any case, lovin the series Pix, even the basics are fun when explained by you!
Really neat of you to credit the torch navigation trick back to Paul Soares Jr. I learned to play Minecraft in 2017 from watching his second survive and thrive series from 2011-14. As legendary as PSJ's tutorials are, I am really enjoying what you are doing with this series and I think it is right on par with the best ones out there including PSJ's!
I have been watching episodes of the season 1 of survival guide since my undergraduate study. Now I am working full-time and I will still watch this season none the less. Thanks Pix. 🤙
I play both Java and bedrock, and honestly can’t pick one as my favourite because both are awesome. even though they play ever so slightly differently.
It's so great seeing this amazing series get reproduced. And, Pixlriffs is sticking to his promise in Part 101, in the original series. He said that he would continue the Minecraft Survival Guide until the day he died :)
I remember you saying that you used to watch Martyn and the Yogscast long back but I had no idea that you got 'The Right Way Back' thing from Martyn! That's so cool, that mnemonic helped me a lot in the early days of MC when I heard it on the original Survival Guide
I also recommend putting a bed with your cave outpost. Set your spawn so you can get back to your stuff easier if you die with all those juicy resources on you!
@@biryanilover7147 I love that for kids, but I wish we could chose SOME penalty for dying. Keep Inventory keeps XP too, which changes the survival experience quite a bit.
Regarding the water mechanics, the only thing I think that was missed is that to form a water source, the space between two water sources has to be above either a solid block or another water source.
He didn't mention using waterlogged blocks either, but I think he's trying to stick to absolute basics at this point instead of explaining every little thing. Better for newer players that way.
Hey Pix! Been a fan since your first season, I love your content. Something that took me awhile to learn when I first started watching you was how to do smooth crafting. For example, you turned nearly a stack or raw copper into copper blocks in seconds. As a new player, I had no idea how you could drag items in the interface like that. It would usually take me a minute to pick up a single bit of raw copper and manually placing it in every spot of the crafting interface. Maybe you could go over that in an episode soon? Thanks again, your content is incredibly helpful!
This is covered in the video about controls I posted last week, around 6 minutes in: ua-cam.com/video/bkQqqxpqFo0/v-deo.html Alternatively, use the recipe book! Shift-clicking on a recipe in the recipe book will craft as many of that item as is possible with the items in your inventory.
19:15 Fun Fact for Beginners!!- Even though you cannot craft any tools Outta these Decorative Blocks (Andesite, Granite and Diorite) But these blocks are craftable by itself. If you ever run out of those Blocks and you don't want to go mining ⛏️ for them, They can actually be crafted with different and unique crafting recipes!! Andesite: It can be crafted by placing a Cobblestone near a Diorite in the Crafting Grid which would in turn give you 2 Andesite Blocks! Granite: It can be crafted by placing a Diorite block near a Nether Quartz (Not Nether Quartz ore/ Quartz Block), which can be obtained as an ore in the Nether, in the Crafting Grid which gives one Granite Block. Then we have Diorite ( do you even want this lol): It can be crafted by placing 2 cobblestone and 2 nether quartz diagonally in the crafting grid, which would give you 2 Diorite Blocks! [NOTE: These crafting recipes work both in 2x2 crafting grid in your inventory and 3x3 in the Crafting Table.] And you can also craft Polished version of these blocks by placing four of the same blocks in a 2x2 manner in the Crafting Grid! Although many people use Polished version of the Blocks for Building and Decorative purposes...We can also use the raw Blocks to give the Landscape more natural sort of looks!! Hope this helps!
The place torches on the left tip is So simple but brilliant! I've been playing the game since 2013 and the amount of times I've wandered past resources in a cave because "I'll get it when I come back" and then got lost and had to mine out is far too many. I love seeing you having to slow yourself down to explain what your doing when usually it wouldn't take any thought because hearing the explanation for why it happens is brilliant! Keep up the incredible videos!
Hey Pix, can you briefly touch on player skins? I have been playing for a little bit and that is still confusing to me so new people may not know how to get personalized skins. Great episode as always! Thanks!!!
a great small detail to make farms more accessible and easy to move around, is putting slabs or trapdoors above the water channels. this means you can walk right across without worrying about trampling crops when you jump out of the water. of course, this means you need a bucket to create source blocks to waterlog, but a bucket is a pretty necessary tool in minecraft, and it provides an opportunity to explain what "waterlogging" is! One point I sort of disagree with is leaving some ore behind in case you need more. Leaving some surface ore makes sense, but leaving ore down in the caves just means you have to go further and mine deeper to achieve the same amount. Perhaps I'm just too much of a perfectionist, but if you're in the caves looking for ores, it doesn't make sense to me to leave ores behind in the off chance you'll come back to that cave in particular
I really like using leaf blocks for my crops or Suger cane farms as they blend nicely with all the other greenery around them over slabs or trapdoors. Lily pads would be another option but unless you find a swamp biom they hard to come by in quantity.
Loved the video @Pixlriffs! Glad to hear that Leather Armor will be on the agenda for a later video because a few weeks ago I worked out different combinations of Dyes to make the colors of different Uniforms from the Second world war period and typed it in the Comments section of a video by another Minecraft UA-cam Content Creator by the name of Sbeev. I did this mainly so that he could have the appropriate uniforms for the players in his World War Two Carrier v. Airbase Minigame. If you're wondering which video it's in, it'll be in the Comments section of his TNT Tree Farm video, but if you can't seem to find it for whatever reason I'll put them down below for you to look over in case you want to try them for yourself or show them off as an example in your Leather Armor video. Please note that these only cover the Four Major Powers of the Second world war, The Germans, The British, The Americans and The Soviets. • German Army: Helmet: Dark Green & Dark Gray Chestplate & Leggings: Dark Green & White Boots: Orange & Brown • Luftwaffe Felddivision: Chestplate and Boots are the same as (German Army) Helmets & Leggings: Light Blue & Dark Gray • Afrikakorps: Boots are the same as (German Army) Helmet, Chestplate & Leggings: Lime Green & Brown • Winter Camouflage: Boots are the same as (German Army) Helmet, Chestplate & Leggings: Light Gray & White or White • British Army: Helmets: Brown & Lime Green Chestplate & Leggings: Brown & Yellow Boots: Black & Dark Gray Officer's Cap is the same color as (Chestplate & Leggings) • Desert Army: Helmets: Yellow & White Chestplate & Leggings: Yellow & Dark Gray Boots: Same as (British Army) • Paratroopers: Helmets: Red (Berets) or Dark Green & Light Gray Chestplate: Dark Green & Blue Leggings & Boots: Same as (British Army) • American Army: Helmets: Brown & Dark Green Chestplate: Orange & Dark Green Leggings: Red & Lime Green Boots: Orange & Brown • Winter Uniforms: Helmets: Same as (American Army) Chestplate & Leggings: Dark Green & Brown Boots: Dark Gray & Brown • Normandy Airborne Uniforms: Helmets & Boots: Same as (American Army) Chestplate & Leggings: Pink & Dark Green • Post-Normandy Airborne Uniforms: Helmets & Boots: Same as (American Army) Chestplate & Leggings: Dark Green & White • Soviet Army: Helmets: Dark Green & Light Gray Chestplate & Leggings: Orange & Light Gray Boots: Black & Dark Gray • Tank Crew: Overalls (Chestplate & Leggings) can be either Black & Light Blue, Same as (Soviet Army), or Black and Dark Gray. Helmets can be either Orange & Light Gray, Same as American and German Boots, or Black & Dark Gray. • Kommisars: Chestplate & Boots: Same as (Soviet Army) Helmets & Leggings: Cyan and Light Blue • Winter Uniforms: Helmets, Chestplate & Leggings: White and Light Gray Boots: Same as (Soviet Army) Sorry if this turns into a long read man. Can't wait for the next video as well!
it's not important, but at 15:50, when he's looking down the cave that ends pretty quickly, there is copper behind the torch that he missed earlier on. you can see it at 12:51 on the left side, above his shield. For newer players, if you're looking to get all the ores, being thorough does help make sure you don't miss any. On the other hand, if you're talking live while playing, it's not a big deal! :D
I’ve also found another good way to mine iron. What I did was look at the ore generation and found that y-16 was a very common place for iron. If you want to strip mine for it, that’s the place.
Damnit it's been SO LONG since the very beginning of the og season1 that is honestly amazing because you really put minecraft into perspective for me, I'd never played it before, I knew a lot of thing, having watched the game for years, just didn't quite know how to play myself.
Thank You Very Much! I really needed a guide to help me cave becoz now 1.18 caves are very much different and in general even in previous versions I was always scared to go caving
Red, right, returning is what we use sailing in the US anyway when it comes to following a channel back to port, so I do the same with torches. I believe however buoy and channel marker colors are the other way around in Europe.
hi pixlriffs i m new to minecraft and my friend suggested to see your channel , i love the way how you explain and because of your last survival guide i m able to memorise the recipes of all basic tools like axe , pickaxe ,furnace etc.!
Enjoying watching your second survival series. I remember being a new player to minecraft and not even knowing what to do in the game. Your original minecraft survival series took me from dying over and over again to being able to make my first wooden box.... I mean house. I maybe behind in watching this series but I am looking forward to watching them all. PS I turned to your survival world the other day to build myself an automated sheep farm :)
I've found myself starting a bunch of different worlds just because I like the early game so much, but I have a new world now and have erased all my other worlds (except my creative test world) and I am doing so much better than I ever have in this 1.18 world, both me and my son are enjoying playing this on his Nintendo Switch!
It is exactly like you said, about being lucky to find an "easy cave" The new terrain gen makes it really hard to start out in a hardcore series, because i have a really hard time finding a good starting point and early caves to pick up some gear to start out.

Love the slower pace of this series! A reminder that we don’t always have to rush and get everything fast for the endgame and it’s ok to take it one step at a time.
It's fun watching him build up this world with nice little touches and ideas. When I first spawned into this world seed, I thought huh, I don't think I like this terrain, but I think it's really beginning to look like the spawn chunks for this seed have potential!
Hey Pix! Love you on Empires and miss you there but I am so glad you started a new survival series. You were the first one I watched after starting to play last year. My grand kids introduced me and got me hooked. Even though I play on Bedrock you have helped me up my game significantly and introduced me to some great bedrock players for those “sticky” mechanics between the two. Love your stuff! Keep it up 👍
This is actually a good episode for me I don’t even no where iron is now because the new caves and coordinates
its actually not that hard, in deepslate levels you can find ore veins and the higher you go up, the more abundant the iron.
Know*
yeah same I am like that with basically all ores XD so have postphoned caving and just started tading for diamond gear
Same I'm actually finding more diamonds than iorn which is odd...
I'm so happy you're uploading actively again! :)
I used to come up with names for areas of bigger caves & slap signs around--not practical for light spelunking, but for heavy-duty spelunking or an underground build, it might be helpful
Putting torches on the left while caving seems so backwards to me, of course it works but I prefer the right.
I came up with my own adage years ago to help ppl remember it:
"It's only right to keep your torches on the right, so you can follow them on the left when you want to have left"
In any case, lovin the series Pix, even the basics are fun when explained by you!
Thank you so much for making these video's! Your voice is really soothing and relaxing to listen to!
Really neat of you to credit the torch navigation trick back to Paul Soares Jr. I learned to play Minecraft in 2017 from watching his second survive and thrive series from 2011-14. As legendary as PSJ's tutorials are, I am really enjoying what you are doing with this series and I think it is right on par with the best ones out there including PSJ's!
I have been watching episodes of the season 1 of survival guide since my undergraduate study. Now I am working full-time and I will still watch this season none the less. Thanks Pix. 🤙
Being a Minecraft veteran, I’ve only ever played bedrock, and I will be playing Java very soon so this will be very helpful for me
i recommend you watch his settings video
@@IndeedModern I watched the beginning, I’m planning on rewatching the season once I get Java
I play both Java and bedrock, and honestly can’t pick one as my favourite because both are awesome. even though they play ever so slightly differently.
Its both java and bedrock
Yoo let’s go, enjoy the iron farms lol
I guess i was looking in the wrong place because i found really little iron, thanks for teaching me this Pix!!!
I learned the torch trick from Paul Soares Jr. too! Miss his videos! I always remembered it as “torches on the left, jokers on the right” 😂😂
Love the fact you are taking it easy, we started a new server on 1.18, im doing the same pace as you, am enjoying it a lot
Why start a new server when farms and large ore veins exist?
@@timohara7717 because its 1.18 new generation, why not?
@@MrHammerjoe because more diamonds in old gen and under y 0 exists
@@timohara7717 yeah true, we wanted to start fresh to get the full experience diamonds and ores can be aquired quite easily, anyways
It's so great seeing this amazing series get reproduced. And, Pixlriffs is sticking to his promise in Part 101, in the original series. He said that he would continue the Minecraft Survival Guide until the day he died :)
I remember you saying that you used to watch Martyn and the Yogscast long back but I had no idea that you got 'The Right Way Back' thing from Martyn! That's so cool, that mnemonic helped me a lot in the early days of MC when I heard it on the original Survival Guide
I also recommend putting a bed with your cave outpost. Set your spawn so you can get back to your stuff easier if you die with all those juicy resources on you!
You could also do "keep inventory" too
@@biryanilover7147 I love that for kids, but I wish we could chose SOME penalty for dying. Keep Inventory keeps XP too, which changes the survival experience quite a bit.
@@asteria4279 I know but if you are worried about exp and don't want your OP tools lost then you can do that but you don't have to
@@biryanilover7147 cheating
@@timohara7717 Well, you can play minecraft any way you want so you can do that
But, I am not saying you have to do that
Regarding the water mechanics, the only thing I think that was missed is that to form a water source, the space between two water sources has to be above either a solid block or another water source.
He didn't mention using waterlogged blocks either, but I think he's trying to stick to absolute basics at this point instead of explaining every little thing. Better for newer players that way.
Hey Pix! Been a fan since your first season, I love your content. Something that took me awhile to learn when I first started watching you was how to do smooth crafting. For example, you turned nearly a stack or raw copper into copper blocks in seconds. As a new player, I had no idea how you could drag items in the interface like that. It would usually take me a minute to pick up a single bit of raw copper and manually placing it in every spot of the crafting interface. Maybe you could go over that in an episode soon? Thanks again, your content is incredibly helpful!
Seconded!
This is covered in the video about controls I posted last week, around 6 minutes in: ua-cam.com/video/bkQqqxpqFo0/v-deo.html
Alternatively, use the recipe book! Shift-clicking on a recipe in the recipe book will craft as many of that item as is possible with the items in your inventory.
@@Pixlriffs Yeah, you're doing an amazing job 👏
I’m loving having this to watch every day ❤️
19:15 Fun Fact for Beginners!!- Even though you cannot craft any tools Outta these Decorative Blocks (Andesite, Granite and Diorite) But these blocks are craftable by itself. If you ever run out of those Blocks and you don't want to go mining ⛏️ for them, They can actually be crafted with different and unique crafting recipes!!
Andesite: It can be crafted by placing a Cobblestone near a Diorite in the Crafting Grid which would in turn give you 2 Andesite Blocks!
Granite: It can be crafted by placing a Diorite block near a Nether Quartz (Not Nether Quartz ore/ Quartz Block), which can be obtained as an ore in the Nether, in the Crafting Grid which gives one Granite Block.
Then we have Diorite ( do you even want this lol): It can be crafted by placing 2 cobblestone and 2 nether quartz diagonally in the crafting grid, which would give you 2 Diorite Blocks!
[NOTE: These crafting recipes work both in 2x2 crafting grid in your inventory and 3x3 in the Crafting Table.]
And you can also craft Polished version of these blocks by placing four of the same blocks in a 2x2 manner in the Crafting Grid!
Although many people use Polished version of the Blocks for Building and Decorative purposes...We can also use the raw Blocks to give the Landscape more natural sort of looks!!
Hope this helps!
If you ever feel useless remember there exist a crafting recipe for Diorite 😂
I've been watching your videos for awhile and I always learn a lot. Thanks for making this series!
Pix is so humble and straightforward that it's easy to forget what a genius he is in this game. I wish I had a series like this when I was learning
As a newer player, I love all these tips and tricks! Most useful tutorial I have found!
This series is being so fun to watch!
one of the most all around knowledgeable Minecrafters there are out there
An easier mnemonic for placing torches is "left towards the loot, right towards the light"
This episode is very helpful because the Caves & Cliffs update changed the whole game a lot. So, it is quite hard to find resources
The place torches on the left tip is So simple but brilliant! I've been playing the game since 2013 and the amount of times I've wandered past resources in a cave because "I'll get it when I come back" and then got lost and had to mine out is far too many. I love seeing you having to slow yourself down to explain what your doing when usually it wouldn't take any thought because hearing the explanation for why it happens is brilliant! Keep up the incredible videos!
loving the series! Please use more torches when caving because it’s often really hard to see what’s happening.
Hey Pix, can you briefly touch on player skins? I have been playing for a little bit and that is still confusing to me so new people may not know how to get personalized skins.
Great episode as always!
Thanks!!!
a great small detail to make farms more accessible and easy to move around, is putting slabs or trapdoors above the water channels. this means you can walk right across without worrying about trampling crops when you jump out of the water.
of course, this means you need a bucket to create source blocks to waterlog, but a bucket is a pretty necessary tool in minecraft, and it provides an opportunity to explain what "waterlogging" is!
One point I sort of disagree with is leaving some ore behind in case you need more. Leaving some surface ore makes sense, but leaving ore down in the caves just means you have to go further and mine deeper to achieve the same amount. Perhaps I'm just too much of a perfectionist, but if you're in the caves looking for ores, it doesn't make sense to me to leave ores behind in the off chance you'll come back to that cave in particular
I really like using leaf blocks for my crops or Suger cane farms as they blend nicely with all the other greenery around them over slabs or trapdoors. Lily pads would be another option but unless you find a swamp biom they hard to come by in quantity.
7:18 biggest plot twist 🤣
Top 10 anime betrayals.
love it. very basic but detailed 1.18 orientation
Thank you Pix, I love this series and the thorough explanation. I haven’t played in years and there’s been a lot of additions. Keep it up my friend!!
Loved the video @Pixlriffs! Glad to hear that Leather Armor will be on the agenda for a later video because a few weeks ago I worked out different combinations of Dyes to make the colors of different Uniforms from the Second world war period and typed it in the Comments section of a video by another Minecraft UA-cam Content Creator by the name of Sbeev. I did this mainly so that he could have the appropriate uniforms for the players in his World War Two Carrier v. Airbase Minigame. If you're wondering which video it's in, it'll be in the Comments section of his TNT Tree Farm video, but if you can't seem to find it for whatever reason I'll put them down below for you to look over in case you want to try them for yourself or show them off as an example in your Leather Armor video.

Sorry if this turns into a long read man. Can't wait for the next video as well!
who else has been playing minecraft for years butstill finds this interesting?
Always the best helper on the UA-cam Minecraft tutorials. I love this Channel.
It’s always good to come back to the basics! Thank you Pix, loving the series!🤓
I've been playing minecraft for years in creative, yet I am super inexperienced in survival, this series is super helpful!
Loving these episodes ay. Been playing for ages, but these seem really refreshing.
The mnemonic I've stood by (I think after seeing it on reddit) is "left to the depths, right to the light". It's served me well over the years.
it's not important, but at 15:50, when he's looking down the cave that ends pretty quickly, there is copper behind the torch that he missed earlier on. you can see it at 12:51 on the left side, above his shield. For newer players, if you're looking to get all the ores, being thorough does help make sure you don't miss any. On the other hand, if you're talking live while playing, it's not a big deal! :D
Best episode so far, I’m enjoying the series Pix, thanks for your work!
nice content
please make survival guides for different biomes, especially desert, snow, tundra, etc.
I'm not new but I haven't played since the aquatic update, so this is a nice refresher
i really enjoy the pace of the season so far
I’ve also found another good way to mine iron. What I did was look at the ore generation and found that y-16 was a very common place for iron. If you want to strip mine for it, that’s the place.
Damnit it's been SO LONG since the very beginning of the og season1 that is honestly amazing because you really put minecraft into perspective for me, I'd never played it before, I knew a lot of thing, having watched the game for years, just didn't quite know how to play myself.
Thank You Very Much! I really needed a guide to help me cave becoz now 1.18 caves are very much different and in general even in previous versions I was always scared to go caving
This episode was awesome. I love caving, so this is perfect
Can't believe it. First ever here in a video. Amazing work Pixxl. 🙏🙏
Waited long for this caving episode.
Red, right, returning is what we use sailing in the US anyway when it comes to following a channel back to port, so I do the same with torches. I believe however buoy and channel marker colors are the other way around in Europe.
hi pixlriffs i m new to minecraft and my friend suggested to see your channel , i love the way how you explain and because of your last survival guide i m able to memorise the recipes of all basic tools like axe , pickaxe ,furnace etc.!
1:00
Wow thank you I really didn’t know how to get to high up iron
Enjoying watching your second survival series. I remember being a new player to minecraft and not even knowing what to do in the game. Your original minecraft survival series took me from dying over and over again to being able to make my first wooden box.... I mean house. I maybe behind in watching this series but I am looking forward to watching them all. PS I turned to your survival world the other day to build myself an automated sheep farm :)
Theres nothing better than watching Pixl on the bus on my way from school, great content!
Yesss! Another great episode of the Great series!
"When it comes to sharp corners like that" 7:20
For a cube game, that is very vague lol
I think its really cute how he really describes the game indepth. Everyone can understand. Even how to pillar up :)
Makes my day when I see a pixlriffs vid
Pix took so much food but only used a steak
i know all these things already but i still love to watch basic stuffs and guides
There's actually a large Dripstone cave in the same place you were, just need to look behind one of the water streams coming down from the lake.
I want to say, even though I consider myself fairly skilled at the game, I learn something new from almost every episode.
Survive and thrive with Paul was awesome, learned so much from him.
I think pixlriffs doesn't get enough credit for his amazing content
Agreed, but also: he is playing 'the long game'. His videos will help players for years to come. This creates credit on a deeper and lasting manner.
Yes I agree 💯
Daaaaaamn, if Pix were a teacher of mine, i'd get straight A's all the way.!
I've found myself starting a bunch of different worlds just because I like the early game so much, but I have a new world now and have erased all my other worlds (except my creative test world) and I am doing so much better than I ever have in this 1.18 world, both me and my son are enjoying playing this on his Nintendo Switch!
Perfect timing
It is exactly like you said, about being lucky to find an "easy cave" The new terrain gen makes it really hard to start out in a hardcore series, because i have a really hard time finding a good starting point and early caves to pick up some gear to start out.
I am playing minecraft since 2011 and when seeing your survival guide season 2 it feels that I am a new guy
I get some randomly Nostalgaic or funny smiles while watching your videos.
This is awesome! I started my new world with you so I feel like Im playing with you and progressing as we go! :) big fan from Canada!
