I love how one of Eyecraft's reasons for not breaking mob spawners is that "it hurts me very much" which I have to agree with, please just place one torch instead
"some people break mob spawners and I would not suggest this, the reason why is that not only does it hurt me very deeply inside.." That deadpan delivery had me DYING 😂
One trick I like to use when caving or exploring underground is to try and place all my torches on the left wall as I go forward. That way, when I decide to return, I know to keep the torches on my right to find my way back.
What separates you from other mc content creators is that go straight to the point...no misinformation...just pure accuracy and sensible tips...thx bro...much love brother 👏👏👏🗿
@@Eyecraftmc yeah! All of your videos are incredibly helpful, and even after playing minecraft for over a decade, I still find myself learning something new every single video. I can’t imagine how much time it takes to make a video, but know that i really love the videos you create.
Wasn't exactly a myth. Early versions of minecraft had light work differently, as well as the light levels of mob spawning requiring more light to disablethan it does now. So while it is no longer required now, more than a single torch was required to deactivate spawners a long time ago (not the walls though).
I have developed a torching method that has virtually eliminated the chances of getting lost. When exploring caves and such that are maze-like start a habit of only placing touches on wall, on your right hand side. If you happen to need light on the left I would place these torches upright so as to be distinct from the wall torches. Explore away and when it's time to go keep all the wall torches on your left. Found something cool you want to get back to easily? Use redstone/soul torches as a unique marker. Best of luck!
Mini base with chest and bed at the entrance to a new cave. Only take in what you need, and if you die, you can start over and recover unless you fell into lava. 👍🏼
I'm guessing if they made mesa mineshafts with dark wood is for them to be easier to spot from afar. Think about it, most wood is light brown, reddish or kinda orange, all those colors are very similar to the whole terrain in that Biome.
In my world seed, not only did I find a taiga village, but underneath it there's a mineshaft. Then beneath that, there is the stronghold, and under the stronghold lies an ancient city. All in a line basically straight down below the village.
More or less my world seed, there’s 2 dungeons in one cave, plus a mineshaft connected to one of them, plus what I’m pretty sure is a stronghold, and a bunch of amethyst geodes.
I always have a hard time finding the portal room. Usually it's because there is a mineshaft or cave intersecting. A couple of times the portal room was completely disconnected from the hallways and I never would have found it without spectator mode.
I played minecraft again recently and I think the last version I played was 1.14, at first it was overwhelming the huge amount of things that were there and your guides helped me a lot, thanks for explaining everything in detail and making it very dynamic and fun to watch
i've got a 14.4 world i've been playing for years. always give the updates a year or two but then go back. it's only running a handful of mods but i'm afraid to update it.
7:36 I have had a couple of times where I went underground at the start of a fresh world. Ran low on food and used the melons to and bones to farm a couple of melons quickly if you are really in need of food quick
Awesome guide video as always! P.S. Not sure anyone else mentioned, but at 10:40ish when you explaining stronghold generations, you didn't display a chart (not that it's hard 2 find on the web).
I appreciate how you’re clear that some of the information you’re giving is exclusive to Java. I’m mostly a Bedrock player and I always have to guess if sth will work or test it out multiple times until I figure out I’m not making a mistake it just doesn’t work in Bedrock. I’m wondering if the single torch works in bedrock… does anyone know?
Been watching all your guides, very helpful for an experienced miner. Great to listen to as I mill around my realm. Thank you for being genuine and not some clownish hype lord. Next toast is for Eye guy!!!
I recently started a new world with friends. I traveled very far for a place to build my base, but upon entering the caves, I found a mineshaft, 2 mob spawners, a amethyst place and the warden😁
Minecraft is nuts like that. Their cave updates have to be the best, because my friend did the same and wandered off. They ended up tapping into a cave, and we decided to explore on a whim. . . CUT TO ONE MONTH LATER, IN REAL TIME. We finally got out of the cave.
They made mineshafts in mesa biomes different because specifically for mineshafts in mesa biomes where the chance of gold is already higher and at higher y levels, mesa mineshafts can generate with openings to the surface, and theres a small chance the mineshaft is a "gold mine" where you can find over double the amount of gold as normal per chunk and gold is almost as commonly occurring as iron
Bro you are such a talented Individual, I recently have been getting into minecraft after the years with my Spouse. Your videos are so smooth and well informed I feel like I became a pro again just watching your content. Amazing and highly underrated you're gonna go far g!
Rotten flesh is my dog food in minecraft. Wolves/doggies don't have a hunger bar, so it doesn't negatively affect them at all! It is usable for healing & breeding them. All this to say that I don't break zombie spawners even though they're often considered the least valuable. They're decent for an early mid game mob grinder for xp, plus when a player kills them they have a chance to drop their rarer loot like iron ingots, armor, carrots, and potatoes! It's also easy to bait them into a water elevator with a villager safely boxed on the other side of it 😅
I can't believe I'm still getting tips even after watching your videos for almost a year lol... Also major butch points for slapping the creeper even though eminent death was inevitable...
I was just searching 5 hours ago if eyecraftmc already made a video about this exact subject cause i cant stand other youtubers talking for saying nothing Then Eyecraftmc uploads that exact guide i was searching an hour after lol
It's late and I'm really tired and your voice is so relaxing that I could sleep with it❤ You explain really well and just as I mentioned your voice is really relaxing!!
I got a server with some friends where I found 2 ancient cities and 1 Dungeon in the first week of playing, the first ancient had a mineshaft going over it because the centre was just a few block outside the “deep dark” Felt really cool because it also was my first time playing after a few years
My way of navigating the strong hold once you have reached the portal room is to bring a lot of scaffoldings and just keep digging upwards. That way, go you get a straight vertical pathway to the room.
Funny you should put this out while I'm clearing out an abandoned mine and planning out the zombie dungeon XP farm. My clerics will be happily trading soon! I already have a spider spawner XP farm. I just need a skelly spawner now.
People overlook cave spider farms but they are really helpful if you need wool for cheap and dont wanna build a wool farm which in my opinion causes much more lag than a spider farm. When I go for netherite farming, I use beds, whose wool I get from my spider farm.
A tip from a friend I learned about yesterday: You can use the seeds underground to grow emergency food. Use bone meal you can get from bones killing skeletons and grow the food instantly.
If u use fletcher villager for stick to emerald you can abuse spiderspawner for string to emerald trade they also have so basically doubling youre emerald gains =D
Not sure if this makes a big difference to most people, but zombie spawners can also occasionally spawn zombie villagers. I've used them to populate mushroom islands in my own survival world
It's weird, I found a stronghold that has a mineshaft cutting directly through the library, which leads into the heart of an ancient city. Literally, one of the tracks generated almost immediately beside the central monument of the city. This was in bedrock mind you. I'll see if I can find the seed somehow. Weird to see a mineshaft covered in skulk.
My method for a few of these is to explore by sticking to the left at all times. Eventually you'll have explored everything. Also block off any rooms or corridors that you never need to go to again.
Thanks for that chart that showed how strongholds spawn on Java../s On a more serious note - that tip about the single torch is handy, I just hope that it's true on Bedrock too lol
My favorite mineshaft method is to mine out all the walls and make it one huge open mineshaft so I can see everything. NOT efficient in the slightest lol but I get so lost even when trying to keep track of where I’m going because they often generate in complicated ways or look like 2 mineshafts intersecting each other. So I just…carve the whole thing out.
Does anyone know how he can see all the cave systems? I've been trying to google it and don't see how it's done! I want to be able to look at underground structures for a project I'm doing.
"It's incredibly rare to have a dungeon with 0 chests in it." Me: Has seen 3 of them with no chests in a single world. (On a positive note, these guides are great for me. I haven't played Minecraft since around the 1.11 days, so this is a great way to catch up~)
I had 2 mob spawners very close to my base but i never thought i would need a mob farm so i broke them and used them for mossy cobblestone, i never wanted to slap my past self so much in my life
In my opinion the spider spawner is really the only useful mob spawner. As you can create a mob farm very easily without needing any spawners however spiders don't spawn very much in these so for farming spider eyes for brewing, spider spawners become your best friend
Is the mineshafts not generating inside deep dark a new thing? I remember when the deep dark first came out i was mining like CRAZY to find it and explore and found a HUGE abandoned mineshaft that was practically all inside a deep dark (i play bedrock incase it is just a version difference). Ngl that was one if, if not the most terrifying experiences in Minecraft in a long long time. I would say mineshafts in the deep dark are 10x scarier than an ancient city.

This is the reason I came to the comment section
Silverfish spawner left the chat because it was broken
In 13:47
It's also faster
Might as well disable it and come back later to make a farm, rather than destroy it forever.
Your ability to explain things normally while summoning the warden is beyond the ability to work under pressure XD

If you don't want to break the silverfish spawner, make sure to carry a few jack'o lanterns to deactivate them (simple torches won't do)
Maybe it has changed on the newer updates but one other difference with the cave spiders is they can fit through a 1x1 hole unlike the normal spiders.
Thanks for the tips Eyecraft 🏆
i think that the pillager mansion is the best book gathering place. they have a pretty big library too.

Another thing to note is that mineshafts are GODLY in mesa biomes. You'll find SO much gold by just walking around, it's great.
i've been playing minecraft since 2013 and today is when i learned water will instantly destroy cobwebs
I found an enchanted golden apple and diamonds in minecart chests I found while exploring a mineshaft in a lush biome.

This will be useful when 1.20 comes out
Idk if it changed but when ancient cities came out i found my first one by having one of the downward stairs in a mineshaft lead into it
I dud figure out recently you can make an nether portal road to it. It makes it way faster
2:56 i chuckled
10:40 what a helpful chart
Wait Wait! Eyecraftmc question why is a banned minechaft ("banned")?
10:43 YOU FORGOT THE CHART! HOW COULD YOU?! (this hurts me as much as breaking a spawner hurts you)
I just found my first ancient city in my world and it has an abandoned mine shaft spawned in the ancient city with a cave spider spawner on it.
Can you plz make a series where you use the year as a seed for example 2023 or -2203?
Also thank you for saying Mesa and not Badlands
Thanks again!
I know one torch will stop a mob spawner, but I still always put one on each side too, it’s just tradition :)
in my first world I found an air exsposed spawner above ground, with an god apple
