Your channel is amazing. I'd never played Minecraft until my son wanted to try it. Neither of us knew what to do at all so we've been watching lots of your videos together, and playing together and it's really brought us much closer and we both look forward to spending that time together. Thank you for what you do. It's more impactful that you might think at first glance.
I hate to ask, but how many times has your son rage quit the game? Also, i reccomend keeping a memory of your first join with your son, i did with my father. He spawned in a whole ice biome while i was on a snowy beach, being surrounded by 3 zombies, a baby zombie, 1 spider which i kept punching Down, a creeper and a skeleton that didnt notice me. My father ran like 300 Blocks before we beat the soulless /summon (mob) out of Them with our bare fists lmao. GOD that was fun, stuff was like a horror game my first time playing! I am so happy i never forgot that. Make it memorable and make it last. Thats all advice i Can give.
For me, the biggest danger of creepers is that they can sneak up from behind you and blow up before you have time to react. This is why I'm really strict w/ my spacial awareness in hardcore. Make sure to keep the door to your house closed (iron door + buttons helps a bunch). Avoid walking around at night, and if you do, keep moving and watching your back. It's even good to keep this in mind during the day. Anything that keeps you facing in one direction (specifically crafting + dealing with other menus) should only be done in areas you know are secure.
@@XAnderson27 What I do is I always turn back when I hear a slightly unexpected footstep; sometimes it'll be a pig, but that's how I avoid dying by creepers. Plus, creepers are designed to stay away from you on a corner of your screen and to turn their backs on you so you can't recognize their faces, so sometimes all you need is to double check that tree on your left side
Use warden tactics. Normally I've always had the problem of creepers falling down and exploding before I could react but scouting out and knowing where I can run front and back saved me in my hardcore worlds more than I can count. Too bad I suck in the nether.
Advice for the warden from someone who cleaned multiple ancient cities in hardcore: Build multiple nether portals in the ancient city, place them smart and use them as your way of escape. After teleporting away, the Warden immediately loses sight and will dissapear immediately after you return back... if you keep sneaking/making no noise ofc.
That's a great idea! My thought was to have a stack of ender pearls for emergency getaways if cornered. That and obviously place a bed and chest at the edge of the city to set your spawn, maybe wear disposable iron armour and keep a stack of wool on hot bar to pillar up 21 blocks
@@curt6068 yeah - right click on the bed to reset your spawn point there, so if you die you are on the edge of the city and not too far from your stuff. It'd make sense to wear disposable iron armour though instead of your best so it's less of an issue if you can't find the point you died in time
I just go fast enough to break everything that screams lol. Thats the only way i stay alive since im not about to crawl ever again. Let him spawn, oh well, dig him out and by that time its not that complicated to clear stuff quick. I spent a few days trying everything to kill him fast, but noooo, so just speed run with elytra, after a few cities are done, you can predict where everything is to grab fast. Oh, potion of night sight lol. Game changer.
The phantoms are by far the worst for me, i dont run for a bed, i fly away but sometimes they will chase you! Honey blocks and cactus work well at making a shield around your base.
Ender pearls are always a good thing to have next to your water bucket in your hot bar. In many of these dangerous situations you talked about, teleporting away is a sure way to escape the danger. For example, the Warden. If you don’t have elytra, you can just teleport away instead.
@@EyecraftmcBut one more thing about creepers and it is the most dangerous one but you haven't mentioned it. So it is that when creeper fall from above starting charging in the middle and explode just as soon as it hits you. I lost my enchanted diamond gears with hax on why.... Its so annoying can you give advice for that too lol pls answer this. Thank you beforehand 😅
@@lalolab305that’s just unlucky bro, not much you can do there. Best advice is to try not to get in situations where you can get jumped like that, and stay aware of your surroundings. If you have space to run then you should be able to get far enough away to not take damage. If it’s a tight space tho then idk man
@@orionn3246 no it wasn't unlucky. happened 4 times so far while digging down they keep dropping and bombing lol. And also happened to my friends. In caves zombies, skeletons, creepers and any other hostile mobs doent care dying and jump down quite far away so. It is part of game mechanics i think.
Same. I've played Minecraft since learning about it from Notch himself (at a Google tech talk a long time ago, I didn't even know what Minecraft was, it just sounded like an interesting talk).
usually nobody bothers to try cuz we just assume that it's just gonna tp over plus it's not that much use as its gonna start attacking as soon as that crosshair goes out of its head
Thought we all knew about that, I would stand by a Birch or Oak tree,(small ones) because they are 2 blocks high, and mostly in my worlds, theres barely any caves to hide in from enderman.
@@Glados1080 Mojang should have used C++ or C as a scripting language because Bedrock has alot of problems, but the good thing is that there is NO Attack Cooldown, but about the constant deaths from nothing, Its because of the Y coordinates in Minecraft Bedrock, Mojang needs to fix bedrock glitches.
Literally keep dying in my hardcore worlds so this video is coming at the perfect time. Fun fact: did you know that skeletons can shoot and agro through powdered snow blocks? I didn’t. An almost 100 day hardcore world gone cause of powdered snow and a skeleton.
10:45 Another alternative guys, you can sometimes just mine a block below in front of a lava flow, especially when you're mining in a tunnel. It wont get to you.
@@wallyandjilly375I'm on mobile and I've gotten pretty good and plugging holes as soon as I see the light. Also mining ahead a few blocks away helps. With a fast pick, you practically have to mine ahead if you don't wanna make tons of holes in the tunnel floor
A couple notes here: 1: in Bedrock 1.20.40 the boat clutch has been enabled, boats now negate falldamage on both versions. 2: In Bedrock the trick of staring at Endermen does *not* work at all, you'll get yourself killed if you try (like I did ages ago)
Trident drowneds have been my newest killer. I have had my boat hit by a trident then been hit by the trident twice before I've had a shield a few times, in hardcore. I need a training hall with "The Worst" in my practice world, I think.
Same here. They do tons of damage and you can't escape their aimbot. Not sure if it's true but I'm under the impression that shields break way faster when hit by a trident.
I'll be chilling watching something on my other monitor while sailing from point a to b, and then get hit by the truck that is a trident. I wish there was a way to proof yourself against it. Like cats deter creepers, wolves deter skeletons. Camels are tall enough to avoid damage from zombies. But nothing for travelling by sea. Sure, axolotl's can fight drowned, so I guess having one in a bucket ready to whip out once your boat has been broken is the next best thing. If you survive the trident hits.
Yup. I'm so paranoid to the point where I don't want to explore anything that is underwater or even travel on the water because of these trident drowneds
Easiest way to kill them and possibly obtain a trident is to dig a hole in the sea floor 3 levels deep, then a tunnel 3 to 4 blocks horizontally (so you don't drown). Eventually the drowned descends down in the hole where it can be easily killed.
21:35 There actually is another way to stop yourself from drowning really easily, and thats placing sugar cane on a dirt, gravel, or sand LEDGE. Even if you are in a stone cave or something just put a dirt block downon a flat surface to create a ledge, and place 2 sugar cane on top!
Heres what you do: Back up your world in short periods of time from time to time. If you die, just go to "backups" and put the file to "saves". Simple.
Bro if you do that then you can just play minecraft on hard mode.... Thats like cheating in lan world 😂, why play hardcore if you just gonna cheat and keep your world anyways, I died in my hardcore world and it sucks, but rather than opening the world to lan with cheats and continuing to play on it with a cheated second life I rather restart.
@@Ju-Peter667 Agreed. I play hardcore with cheats on in SSP because I just want to have fun. (cheats are for spectator mode every now and then, like inspecting mob farms etc., not spawning in items) But even then, I will delete a world every now and then if I deem a death too sour 👶
My favorite tip for dealing with wardens (and sculk sensors): You can actually sprint jump WHILE sneaking! Simply start sprint jumping, and then, before your feet hit the ground, hold sneak. You’ll be quite fast and undetectable! Even faster with the fast sneak enchantment.
For skeletons, on bedrock, the arrows will even bounce off the shield and damage the skeleton. So it's worth it to get closer to them if you're unarmed. To allow the bouncing arrow to hit the skeleton. I've killed a few this way.
Yeah, that works on Java, too. It takes a bit to kill the skeleton this way since the damage arrows deal is directly tied to their speed, and arrows that bounce off you shield aren't moving that fast, but damage is damage.
The only problem about the bedrock's skeletons are their ai, unlike java's skeleton, bedrock skeletons have rigged ai, if you would notice, in java, if youre trying to spam an item to try to kill it, theyll have a hard time to load/recharge their bow, unlike in bedrock, they can still attack you without having a hard time loading up their bow while youre spamming, they also have a really nice aim which makes them more dangerous than a bedrock creeper in early games, its also hard to do the juke method against them
Once again, a comprehensive and practical guide! Didn’t know about the powdered snow in the nether trick! And now I have a bunch of MLG moves to practice! Thanks again for all the great info - best UA-camr ever!! 💚🌲
I usually use the “running away from warden” method also. However, sometimes I’ll run into a cave that has a dead end in it. And the warden will come and kill me…
I lost all my netherite armor weapons tools right before they added the upgrade things trying to run away from a warden in the darkness. I couldn't find my stuff cuz I couldn't figure out where I ran . & I still haven't been able to find the netherite upgrade things and have diamond stuff
I think it's better to wear disposable iron armour when raiding ancient cities. Also, if the warden spawns then I think it's probably better to resist the urge to panic and sneak away first rather than run - they can't see you so as long as you sneak. And if you have space to move away from them far enough soon enough then they'll lose your scent. That or use ender pearls and or blocks of wool on hot bar to barricade them or pillar up. Just remember they can shoot through walls so you still need to ensure you get 20 blocks away from them
My theory is players die in Minecraft because of creepers, but some players die in Minecraft because of creepers without knowing that there's a creeper near or behind them. (in my experience, i die because of creepers because i wasn't aware that there was a creeper because they creep up behind you hence the name, creeper
Another way to avoid drowning is spamming torches against a wall. Every torch gives you a few frames of air so mashing it will slowly let you regain air. Can be helpful if you're spelunking and want to explore/escape an underground water area without slowly digging out air pockets.
I genuinely think we all pretty much check daily for new eyecraft vids. You make the best MC content on UA-cam Eye! I’d love to more and more vids and definitely livestreams again! Much love Eye🤍
You can also use hay bales to reduce fall damage, very useful to take to the Nether especially as you can also use them to make backup food in emergencies!
1. Thank you for your work, I really need someone to patiently explain minecraft to me, and I feel I’m getting better at the game. What is more, this helps me a lot, as I am very scared of mobs, bad villagers, caving, nether etc, cos I’m scared to die. So yeah, it helps me a lot, I feel safer thanks to you. 🙏 2. I LOVE that you describe everything so calmly, you have a vibe of Animal Planet narrator, e.g. ,,As you can see, I got closer to the mob and I died.” And I absolutely ADORE it 😂❤
One tip on bedrock with elytra deaths is to deactivate it using the jump button then reactivate it. This instantly reduces your speed making it so you don't hit the ground very hard 😁 I use this technique pretty much every time I use elytra.
You can deactivate the elytra midair with the jump button in bedrock?? I always wished java had that; at least now the hotbar armor swap thing provides a pseudo elytra deactivation method.
About the knockback enchantment: I highly recommend AGAINST getting it at level 2, and sometimes even level 1. It makes killing mobs in general a lot harder, since it launches them away, and you have to run after them to finish them off. About fire protection: in both java and bedrock, there is a sort of points system with the protection enchantments, and in each category, there is a maximum amount of points you can get. In bedrock, I believe you can max out all categories with max protection enchantments, but I'm not sure. In Java, however, this is not possible. If you get the max protection level on all armor, you'll be a little short on all specific categories, since protection gives fewer points, but in all categories. Here's the kicker: if you want to max out one category, you can do so by getting protection 4 on 3 pieces, then the specific resistance on the last piece; i.e., if you want maximum fire protection, get protection 4 on 3 armor pieces, and fire protection 4 on the last one. Getting fire protection 4 on all armor pieces doesn't give any extra advantage, and simply leaves you open to other forms of attack, like projectiles and explosions. About endermen: Fire aspect is a no-go. They have a chance at teleporting every time they take fire damage, which makes them teleport around more, prolonging your fight. As long as the enderman is mad at you, you are vulnerable, so you want to kill it as quickly as possible. In fact, fire aspect in general is really only useful for getting cooked food when killing animals. Some mobs on fire can in turn set you on fire, and while the extra damage to them isn't very useful, the extra damage to you is dangerous. Ph1lza learned this lesson when he lost his 5 year hardcore world, and this fire aspect psa is brought to you by him.
@@dannyc7839 Yes, the points system works the same with Fire protection, Blast protection, and Projectile protection, i.e. to get the maximum protection in any one of those 3 categories you only need protection 4 on 3 pieces and the specific protection type at level 4 on the last piece of armor.
I don't get why people don't like the knockback enchantment, it makes extremely deadly mobs like creepers and wither skeletons 60% less effective than what they would have been and the argument of knockback pushing them away too far is dumb because you obviously wouldn't use it on a skeleton to give them an advantage, not to mention if you have knockback enchantments, chances are you're far enough in the game to have a bow in your inventory anyway.
@@kornknot2726 I don't use a bow too often, but when I do, I use it to kill creepers. If a mob is dangerous due to melee, you use a bow, not knockback. Knockback requires you get in their danger zone, often more than once, to actually kill them. But for mobs too weak to really have a danger zone, like zombies, it makes killing them a lot more inconvenient.
@kornknot2726 I enjoy knockback but it's never the first enchantment I want out of a sword. Going in fast and knocking mobs around is always fun even if it isn't always the smartest. Also a lot of fun to use near cliffs or as part of defenses near your base. Knockback sword with bow is very satisfying and allows very fluid crowd control, or is nice when teamed up with a friend with a bow. It's very situational and for me more for fun, but since mine craft is a game that's fine. I do think they are superior for creeper slaying than regular swords...and not having to use arrows is nice if you don't have a mob farm or skeleton spawner...I think the real anti-creeper sleeper is the water bucket/lava bucket. Either push them away or burn them from around a corner, no arrows or enchanting needed...or just flint an steal them.
Most of my deaths come from making a mistake and falling, or just suddenly getting overpowered by a bunch of mobs. As someone who has played bedrock edition a lot I'd like to bring up a few things that may be helpful. 1. He is right, the boat will not kill you in Java as long as your in the boat and stuff, but for us on bedrock. Here's what you have to do, GET out of the boat just before you hit the ground. It's like in mario where you sacrifice yoshi to clutch a jump back up from the cliff before you go offscreen and die. 2. That actually makes a lot of sense! I do the same thing in bedrock edition with my elytra and by SLOWING DOWN and circling around your destination until you land. :) 3. Now here's an important one. Please check out his most recent video about netherite. That video has my comment in it about what I said about netherite mining. If I'm not mistaken I believe it's there. I talked about "fire protection" like he says in this video, you don't have to enchant your whole armor set with that. Just enchant the boots with fire protection, the protection may not be as effective against lava, but the cool thing is that as soon as you build up out of the lava, and land, you can count the burning 🔥, after a few burns... THE FIRE GOES OUT. compared to anything else you can use. I highly recommend having a spare boot pair with this enchantment, so that way, whenever you explore the nether it will be pretty dang hard to die. IVE TRIED IT. 4. Also other ways to avoid lava and fall damage, like when you mine for example, make sure your always sneaking. You definitely do not want to dig DIRECTLY ABOVE YOU, or DIRECTLY BELOW YOU, at any time you have a very small chance of falling into trouble. And what I'm also building a habit for is mining a staircase down to the mine, this is much safer and my habit is staying 1 block backward always while mining a block its a cycling system mine>testfor lava or a hole>then walk 1 step forward, this will save you from from falling, if you end up encountering it from the blocks you mined, which is away from you. But if you are like rushing, just stand right between 2 blocks, and then dig straight down in a 1x2 area. Remember to always sneak. However this is a disadvantage for survival multi-player because if you leave the hole open, in a great area to move around in, especially in an area where theres hills, someone could fall in. So if you do this, be sure you fill in the hole before you continue mining down. I hope that was helpful. Also amazing tips Eyecraft. I actually learned a few things from this. Your content is very helpful and fun to watch. Thank you. :)
MY most deaths are from GODDAMN BURNINGNG i get touched by lava? no problem. quickly change to blocks and block the lava, but im still burning. I lose *9* hearts to burning, and in my panic, I get sniped by a ghast. yippee
get a source of fire resistance. how to get 3 potions of fire resistance: -make 3 bottles (3 glass blocks) and fill with water -make a brewing stand (blaze rod on top of 3 stone tier blocks) -set up the stand with blaze powder in the power slot (each blaze powder powers the stand for 20 reactions) -put a nether wart in the reagent slot to make awkward potions (the precursor to all other potions) -put a magma cream in the reagent slot to make them fire resistance potions you can also put the following in the reagent slot after you've made the awkward potions for the following effects: -glowstone increases the potion effect -redstone increases the potion duration -fermented spider eyes corrupt the potion effect -gunpowder makes it a splash potion -dragon's breath makes it a lingering potion
A few more that deserve a mention imo: -Piglin Brute: Bastions have very little space to fight and there's lots of brutes, very easy to get stuck in a corner and die -End Void: Your ender pearl hits the side of an island and you fall to your death -Elytra in tight space: You aren't wearing your chestplate and get killed by mobs, usually on long-term hardcore worlds like Ph1lza in the cave and Jon and Dan to raid farm vexes -Iron Golem: You either build your 3-tall tower near a hill that they then climb to hit you, or you try mining a block but accidentally hit them and either die in 1 hit or can't escape
-Piglin Brute: loot bastions from the top so that brutes are always below you. then hit their heads or lava them -End Void: always wear an elytra and have rockets in your hot bar in the end. chestplates aren't too important in the end -Iron Golem: if you accidentally hit one in mid/late game, deal with them the same way you run away from a player that is more stacked than you on pvp servers, water/lava them, pearl away, etc. enderman tips might also work
They just randomly shoot you first without you even knowing about their existence and they will knock us back to fall off or get attacked by other mobs
Also anytime you are in areas where creepers can spawn, constantly turning around and looking above and behind you, and not staying in one place, and staying away from places where they can surprise you from around a corner takes away their ability to sneak up on you, and they're very slow, so if you see them first, they're closer to harmless, but still sort of dangerous, but if you know what to do when you see them, so still be careful. Also I recommend enchanting your shield with unbreaking 3 and mending. Then you can always have it ready as long as you keep defeating mobs to repair it with exp.
13:52 The water bucket tactic is a good trick to use in the End; however, because water in Minecraft is a bit janky, it only spreads out circularly like that when it’s placed on a relatively flat surface. I have died many times by placing a water bucket on some hilly End terrain and watching in horror as it does not create a mini lake but instead a small 1-block stream flowing downhill. Just felt like mentioning this so that other people can know, but still great video regardless!
I mean yeah this entire video is effectively the epitome of “don’t have a skill issue” but honestly that warden trick of literally putting it in the time out hole is hilarious and I’ll definitely be trying that if I have a fast enough tool. Also, I believe the pillaring up strategy against hoglins is a new thing with the mob reach changes? I could have sworn they had the reach to hit 3 blocks above itself, as I always needed to pillar up 4 blocks and use a trapdoor to put myself into crawling mode. I think some of the tips here too are a bit too dated or specific to be used by most players, and some deaths I feel are much more common in regards to myself and those I hang out with were not shown, such as piglin brutes inside of bastions and poison from witches and cave spiders. Some disclaimers such as Knockback being incredibly detrimental for fighting ranged mobs such as skeletons and blazes along with possibly making it hard or impossible to retrieve their loot, and that basic Protection enchants also reduce fire and lava damage, and that maybe a full set of fire protection is overkill
Eyecraft, love the guides as always but i thought i should point something out (also a video idea?) 11:52 This has bugged me for a while when i see people do it, but stats like fire protection are unnecessary to have on more than 2 pieces of armor. I watched a video once that explained pretty well how the different enchantments worked, and it explained the different types of damage a player can take (that enchantments can lower). That being standard damage (like a zombie hitting you) projectiles, fire, and explosive. A player is only able to have 5 protection "bars" against each of these types of damage, with each type of enchantment giving a bar for its power. So projectile protection 3 would give 3 bars of protection against projectiles. This is all true except for normal protection, which gives 1 to each bar at max level, and partials for each other. This means that full prot 4 armor would give all protection types 4 bars. This means that if you want to get max fire resistance while still having good on other damage reductions you should have 3 prot 4 and 1 fire prot 4. However I still recommend having all protection 4 on your armor as the damage difference is very little and it helps you reduce every other type of damage as well.
Great to see someone bringing this up! The one situation where two pieces of specialized protection gear (fire, blast, etc.) is useful is when using Elytra. The only way to get maximum protection for a specific type in that case is to wear one armor with protection 4, and the other two pieces with the same specialized protection (also at rank 4).
This is the first general "death prevention" minecraft video I've seen on youtube so Eye gets a like just for that. The stare at endermen trick is cool (didnt know about that), but it would have been nice to get more tips about protecting against creepers when they are creeping. A vast majority of my creeper deaths are because a creeper snuck up on me or spawned in a weird way so as to be undetectable until too late.
Pro tip: that rhythm of balancing blocking and hitting mentioned at 7:35 can be used in more or less the same way to avoid being withered by wither skeletons in the nether. If you let them approach with your shield up in one hand and sword in the other, wait until you hear the *thunk* of your shield blocking a hit and then as immediately as you can, slash with the sword. If you do it right, you won't get withered and you'll damage the skeleton as well as knock it back far enough to begin the cycle again. In fact, if you can truly master this technique, it can be utilised to avoid being damaged by almost all of the attacks mobs can make against you. Like.. ever... The exceptions being creeper blasts, enemies with axes, boss type mobs like the warden's special attack and I think perhaps evokers as well? But for literally everything else mobs can do to you, a well timed block/attack rhythm can protect you from 100% of arrows, zombie hits, tridents, hoglin bites... you name it, you're basically invulnerable to it. So much so that the shield is one of the first items i build when i get iron, and from there i more or less make sure i never go anywhere or do anything away from base without carrying a shield in my off hand. It's saved my life more times than i can fathom.
If you acidently hit the iron golem, it will chase you. All you have to do is unload the chunks that the iron golem is in or just run until you don’t see the iron golem anymore and you are fine!
something i learnt from this video that will definitely be really useful is that you can put yourself out with powder snow in the nether so thank you for actually teaching me something new in this video!
It doesn’t happen as often but falling into lava hurts a lot more because you not only lose all your items but also your experience which can be devastating if you spent a lot of time getting those items and experience.
One of similarly unfair death is falling with gravel or sand generated without sustenance. Especially in nether, when you are above the lava lake. Needed to be aware of as well
That’s cheating! I approve!!!!! Edit! My cheat is keep inventory… and never killing the dragon. Been playing since Alpha with 3 years off before Horse Update…. For chess…
@@bigguy9101 Ooh! Maybe this will thrill you. Hardcore game I actually got some farms going, potions and enchanting… something I rarely do. Played it near a year. Got lost one night nearing death from mobs. Slept. Went out in morning still hurting to tend crops… Creeper, oh man! I’m blown into the sky… half a heart! I’m totally thrilled! Hit ground… Phil fell from a high place! If the creeper killed me I’d be bent… fall damage had me laughing, didn’t expect that. Any entertainment value there?
Hey eyecraft can you pls continue the survival live series you did on that snowy mountain where you had a green parrot named Grannysmith i enjoyed watching those series a lot
For me, Its just bedrock skeletons. They just can't miss, it feels a bit unfair at times. Once I get a shield, the issue is half solved, but when there are multiple skeletons it gets way too overwhelming.
One more trick that people often forget is to not panic and try to stay calm. Seems simple enough but people tends to forget what to do when they panic Me. Im people
Oh believe you me, I can die in some of the dumbest ways possible in this game! The other day I was walking by a lava pit that I had mostly mined out the obsidian except for a few blocks so I decided to finish it. I mined the block next to the wall and lava came pouring out and somehow the block underneath me disappeared and I was suddenly swimming in lava. Luckily, I had a bucket of water on my bar. Unluckily, I turn the block above me to cobblestone pinning me in the lava...dead.
Great video! Very complete guide but you could have also mentioned the fire resistance potions against blazes, as it renders their ranged atacks useless
Blazes: what really works very well for me is instead of placing the barriers for wither skeletons all 2 blocks above gound, place 2 of them 1 blocks above ground. That will create a perfect protection from blaze shots and lets you eat and recover
10:50 if you are ever digging a long 2x1 in the nether, it’s best to just wear full fire protection armour because you hardly take any damage and you can just swim through the lava to fill in the source
Usually when I die in Hardcore is because I'm in caves and a creeper falls right into me from some height. 'Till this day I'm not so sure how to survive that
Big missing tip on the creepers is the dive-bombs. If you're in a cave keep an eye out for ledges, and the best thing to do around ledges is to _keep moving_ , at least until you get underneath something. If you want to mine an ore vein that puts you by a ledge, dig a single block out and stand in it for the reasons he mentions, and ideally put a block over your head. It's also helpful to get in the habit of using f5 (you can set it to whatever key) to look around things. 5:24 Also, while a viable option be mindful that you have to land _on top_ of the snow for it to work, whereas you can be anywhere inside water when you place it. This makes it roughly 30% more precise than water. 8:41 Fun fact; creepers will attack skeletons if skeletons shoot them. It's just very rare because the creeper always prioritizes the player, and for it to happen, the skeleton has to see you and a creeper has to be between you and the skeleton while not being able to see you. I've had this happen twice; a skeleton shoots at me, and as I'm leaving I hear an explosion lol 10:22 Another important missing tip is, if insta-mining, only go fast enough that you can react to if you were to dig out into the open. Keep your eyes open for a change in lighting as it's the clearest tell. 11:51 Also with normal full protection IV good foods will outpace the damage. Also regarding drowning, if you have a bucket (imagine not having a bucket...) you can just go against a block and hold right-click and you'll slowly regain air. The number one thing that helped me though was to do hardcore runs where I just tried to beat the game and no more. That put me in the deadly situations organically but without the commitment of a world, so I could learn how to not panic.
11:46 Call me a tryhard but using full fire prot4 isn't gonna help you! 3 pieces of armor w/ prot4 + 1 piece of armor w/ fire prot4 already max fire prot! Going over that limit won't have effect
Blast protection is a great enchantment to deal with surprise creepers, so make sure you have that on your armor if you are going into caves if at all possible. This is only possible after getting an enchanting table though, and that requires a diamond
11:50 heyy eyecraft i learned that special protection enchantments are actually useless to combine if of the same type! meaning maximum specific fire protection is already reached with a fire prot IV armour part! you can still increase it by putting normal prot on all the others though :) aside from that ofc thank you very much for the help!!
1) never dies fron creeper: creepers are one of the most dangerous mob in Minecraft because you'll never know when he can explode, especially inside the caves. 2) never dies from skeletons. Just avoid and stay away from them. 3) Wardens? Never spawn that. Be quiet and carefull.
Yesterday I created 3 hardcore worlds just to try out Java edition as I'm a veteran Bedrock edition player because of the crossplay feature. It wasn't a serious gameplay though, but in all 3 worlds I died to skeletons.
My most common cause of deaths in my hardcore runs. The nether as a whole pretty much. -You cannot bucket clutch due to things vaporizing, if falling on high height to solid, prepare haybales, it reduces 80% of fall damage. Or you could get POWDERED snow which is harder to get, as a substitute to a water bucket. Java boats can negate fall damage when moving, but I'm assuming you fell off by accident and did not ride on the boat on the way down. -Pigmen can screw you over really well. Say you accidentally anger one, and you hide in a wall with a 1 block opening, the babies can still kill you. I carry like nether fences as babies can't jump over that. -Enderman on the end. Never attack them unless under a platform under 2 blocks, and some fences. The fences are for pigmen in case one walks by. DO NOT dig a whole in the wall when attacking endermen, as you won't be able to tell if a pigmen is passing by, and the whole pigmen problem could happen. DO NOT try to trap them in boats, you might miss and just die. -Everywhere you go, to every landmark you go to. Make a cobblestone bridge, 1 block above you, 2 on the side (bottom side), and 1 underneath. This is anti-magma cube, anti-ghast, anti-wither skellys, but not baby pigmen. So as soon as you hit a pigman, barricade yourself and place holes nearby where the babies can fall into. Have some cobble on the (top side) to block from blaze fireballs or ghast fireballs. -Always bring fire-res (which you can get from piglin trading), OR have a golden apple. BOTH can give you fire res when you fall in lava. If you have a fireres splash potion and you're in lava, THROW UP and it'll land back on you. -Most people know that gold armor protects you from piglin aggro. But people forget the other things that aggro them, opening or breaking any container chest/barrel/shulkerbox/etc. Mining Gold. But the biggest thing, is with Piglin Brutes.... Honestly, just run, don't fight them when they'e already aggro'd on you. Run until a safe distance, pillar up, build a bridge until you're over them, and then throw lava onto them so the other piglins don't aggro you. If you can pillar up (up to 4 blocks minimum) WHILE they're aggroing you already, it's riskier that way but less time consuming.
I always keep a cauldron when I go to the Nether, if you catch fire you can place a water bucket inside and go into it to stop the fire. I find it more convenient than snow buckets (especially when fighting Blazes) because you can use the same bucket of water to stop the fire multiple times before it completely dries out
About the drowning: U can also spamclick a torch on a block where ur head is Will give u air over time With turtle shell, it gives full breath after 1 time
what kills me the most is blazes. they just end up getting behind me without me realizing. so I will literally go overkill, disable the spawner, and then make a trap with pistons to funnel them down into a 2x2 area so i can kill them without them ever seeing me.
knockback is actually such a good enchantment in hardcore, it usually gives you some distance to run away or enact a plan. for me it helped a lot with magma cubes and creepers and baby zombies
Wow you always tell me something I never knew I should take to heart. Great vid Eye me and you are just the same I die in MInecraft by fall damage and creppers keep up the good work love you ❤
I know a few other ways not to die. For Blazes: once you get the ability to brew potions, the Fire Resistance potion makes you completely immune to their ranged attacks, which is great because you don't have to remember to hold up a shield. For drowning: if you have a good quality pickaxe and/or shovel and are nearby a wall or ceiling, START DIGGING. You should then make an air pocket you can breathe in. This doesn't work on the floor, since water tends to completely fill the floor.
Here are some things about your tips: Doors cannot prevent drowning, including Fences in Bedrock Edition. And in the Enderman, and DO NOT SPRINT unless you need to due to hunger. and in Bedrock Edition, Wardens will constantly target you unless you are quiet, It makes sense because Wardens are blind. Mostly in Video Games, Crouching or Crawling can reduce sound. And another thing, Another way on how to stop an elytra without spinning your mouse too fast. is to do a curve or look up, If your not sure what enemies are nearby, press f5 until you reach the ground
Almost all of these mobs are easily defeated by one thing... . . . . . . B O A T Seriously, boat strat saved me a lot in hardcore. Piglin Brutes? put it in a boat. Vindicator? place down a lot of boats. Angy Enderman? Get boated chump. You're annoying villager is running away? Put. It. In. The. Boat. The obvious weakness of the boat strat is those big mobs.
great video!. btw theres also the dream trick with the water bucket. for those who dont know you just find a place to stand underwater and then spam a water bucket in the block that your head is in and your bubles will slowly go up.
Extremely helpful, but one thing I want to warn you people: Flying away from the Warden while having the darkness effect on you can also kill you quite quickly. It's actually the only time on my server that I died and didn't get my stuff back, because I had absolutely no clue where I even died because everything happened so fast. The running away method might be the easiest and safest. Just run until the darkness effect dissapears and you can wait a couple of seconds or minutes and the Warden despawns again.
I lost my hardcore world very late game (essentially infinite totems from raid farm) due to several piglin brutes. They popped my totem, I had to equip another, and then they broke that too. I didn’t have any more readily available in my inventory so tried flying away, straight into a block. I “experienced kinetic energy while trying to escape piglin brute.” Late game hardcore death messages are almost always so specific
Another tip: splash instant health potions. Low on health? Get half of it back instantly. They're cheap and renewable, so you can use them in abundance without wasting time worrying about wasting them like a gapple.
If you right click on armor in your main hand, you equip it and unequip anything in it's place. Including elytra. So if you're going to fast with elytra, equip a chest plate by right clicking it and you won't take flying damage. Fall damage is still in effect tho
Lava: *especially* when tunnelling through netherrack, there's no need to carry 'dam' blocks in your off-hand (which I far too often mis-place *beneath* the falling lava, which only makes the situation worse). Instead, since you're obviously already using a (presumably fairly efficient) pick - immediately dig a small hole, directly under or as close as possible to where the lava is about to fall, or has just fallen and is beginning to 'flow'. This only needs to be a single block in size, and below the nearby 'floor' level; Flow mechanics will immediately redirect the path of any nearby falling or flowing lave into this hole. Bonus: the absence of a 'dam' allows you to get one block closer to the lava source, making it easier to collect with a bucket, fill in or close off with a block, at your leisure. Unlike a 'dam' block, you can also dig *around* the lava flowing into the hole, without increasing the spread. Drowning: So long as you have Respiration III (helmet enchantment), you will *never* drown. The air bubbles will still count down (a little slower than 'usual') and the drowning animation will activate, but even 'natural' regeneration (ensure your hunger bar is full) will replenish your health, faster than damage occurs. [Both these tips have only been confirmed in Minecraft Java. I don't play the Bedrock version].
The deadliest bit about Creepers is that they make no noise, so they have a tendency to sneak up on you while you're caving. And you only have 0.5 seconds to react in that scenario. Which means the best defense is always just armor. Blast IV set when I'm caving because let's be honest, the only thing dangerous enough to worry about in caves are creepers. Seperate sets for The Nether, Monument Raids, and Deep Dark Raids. In fact, unless you're trying to be as tesource efficient as possible, the only reason you'd need base Prot IV is for Pillager Raids.
For the wardens run more than 20 blocks away and make sure your not close to a shrieker to spawn another and sneak away from it and wait at least 60 seconds til it’s back underground
One this to note is that the double knockback from sprinting only applies to the first hit during your sprint. Every subsequent hit will deal regular knockback. In order to get the double KB back, you need to stop your sprint and start it again. This is most easily done by tapping W or crouch.
Your channel is amazing. I'd never played Minecraft until my son wanted to try it. Neither of us knew what to do at all so we've been watching lots of your videos together, and playing together and it's really brought us much closer and we both look forward to spending that time together. Thank you for what you do. It's more impactful that you might think at first glance.
That's really sweet, warms my heart :)
I'm a OG Here & I Agree as much as I know I'm a OG here❤
I 100% agree with this his videos are great for beginners and can be for people who have played for a long time
You are best father a son could have ❤❤
I hate to ask, but how many times has your son rage quit the game? Also, i reccomend keeping a memory of your first join with your son, i did with my father. He spawned in a whole ice biome while i was on a snowy beach, being surrounded by 3 zombies, a baby zombie, 1 spider which i kept punching Down, a creeper and a skeleton that didnt notice me. My father ran like 300 Blocks before we beat the soulless /summon (mob) out of Them with our bare fists lmao. GOD that was fun, stuff was like a horror game my first time playing! I am so happy i never forgot that. Make it memorable and make it last. Thats all advice i Can give.
For me, the biggest danger of creepers is that they can sneak up from behind you and blow up before you have time to react. This is why I'm really strict w/ my spacial awareness in hardcore. Make sure to keep the door to your house closed (iron door + buttons helps a bunch). Avoid walking around at night, and if you do, keep moving and watching your back. It's even good to keep this in mind during the day. Anything that keeps you facing in one direction (specifically crafting + dealing with other menus) should only be done in areas you know are secure.
For me they always come by two pair one in the back and one in front
@@XAnderson27 What I do is I always turn back when I hear a slightly unexpected footstep; sometimes it'll be a pig, but that's how I avoid dying by creepers. Plus, creepers are designed to stay away from you on a corner of your screen and to turn their backs on you so you can't recognize their faces, so sometimes all you need is to double check that tree on your left side
Bro I just got blown up while crafting by a creeper in my hard core
@@sweetie_bs yup thats why you are always aware of your surroundings and get maxed armor first thing in your world asap before anything else.
Use warden tactics. Normally I've always had the problem of creepers falling down and exploding before I could react but scouting out and knowing where I can run front and back saved me in my hardcore worlds more than I can count. Too bad I suck in the nether.
Advice for the warden from someone who cleaned multiple ancient cities in hardcore:
Build multiple nether portals in the ancient city, place them smart and use them as your way of escape. After teleporting away, the Warden immediately loses sight and will dissapear immediately after you return back... if you keep sneaking/making no noise ofc.
That's a great idea!
My thought was to have a stack of ender pearls for emergency getaways if cornered. That and obviously place a bed and chest at the edge of the city to set your spawn, maybe wear disposable iron armour and keep a stack of wool on hot bar to pillar up 21 blocks
@@curt6068 yeah - right click on the bed to reset your spawn point there, so if you die you are on the edge of the city and not too far from your stuff.
It'd make sense to wear disposable iron armour though instead of your best so it's less of an issue if you can't find the point you died in time
I just go fast enough to break everything that screams lol. Thats the only way i stay alive since im not about to crawl ever again. Let him spawn, oh well, dig him out and by that time its not that complicated to clear stuff quick. I spent a few days trying everything to kill him fast, but noooo, so just speed run with elytra, after a few cities are done, you can predict where everything is to grab fast. Oh, potion of night sight lol. Game changer.
The phantoms are by far the worst for me, i dont run for a bed, i fly away but sometimes they will chase you! Honey blocks and cactus work well at making a shield around your base.
The speedrun strat was to get above it and repeatedly drop dripstone on it by putting it on a trapdoor and opening and closing it
Ender pearls are always a good thing to have next to your water bucket in your hot bar. In many of these dangerous situations you talked about, teleporting away is a sure way to escape the danger. For example, the Warden. If you don’t have elytra, you can just teleport away instead.
Absolutely, ender pearls are great for getting out of near death situations
@@EyecraftmcBut one more thing about creepers and it is the most dangerous one but you haven't mentioned it. So it is that when creeper fall from above starting charging in the middle and explode just as soon as it hits you. I lost my enchanted diamond gears with hax on why.... Its so annoying can you give advice for that too lol pls answer this. Thank you beforehand 😅
@@lalolab305that’s just unlucky bro, not much you can do there. Best advice is to try not to get in situations where you can get jumped like that, and stay aware of your surroundings. If you have space to run then you should be able to get far enough away to not take damage. If it’s a tight space tho then idk man
@@orionn3246 no it wasn't unlucky. happened 4 times so far while digging down they keep dropping and bombing lol. And also happened to my friends. In caves zombies, skeletons, creepers and any other hostile mobs doent care dying and jump down quite far away so. It is part of game mechanics i think.
I straight up prefer ender pearls over rockets when it comes to running away from the Warden
Been playing MC for years and I never knew you could hold an Enderman in place with a staring contest
Same. I've played Minecraft since learning about it from Notch himself (at a Google tech talk a long time ago, I didn't even know what Minecraft was, it just sounded like an interesting talk).
Does NOT work on bedrock. I've tried this and found the hard way
usually nobody bothers to try cuz we just assume that it's just gonna tp over plus it's not that much use as its gonna start attacking as soon as that crosshair goes out of its head
Thought we all knew about that, I would stand by a Birch or Oak tree,(small ones) because they are 2 blocks high, and mostly in my worlds, theres barely any caves to hide in from enderman.
@@Glados1080 Mojang should have used C++ or C as a scripting language because Bedrock has alot of problems, but the good thing is that there is NO Attack Cooldown, but about the constant deaths from nothing, Its because of the Y coordinates in Minecraft Bedrock, Mojang needs to fix bedrock glitches.
Literally keep dying in my hardcore worlds so this video is coming at the perfect time.
Fun fact: did you know that skeletons can shoot and agro through powdered snow blocks? I didn’t. An almost 100 day hardcore world gone cause of powdered snow and a skeleton.

10:45 Another alternative guys, you can sometimes just mine a block below in front of a lava flow, especially when you're mining in a tunnel. It wont get to you.
This is what I do and it's far faster and more reliable than using blocks to stop the lava
+1
@@ClassicMist360 Yep, and also it's quicker than using blocks.
Also cuz u can’t use blocks in ur offhand in bedrock edition
@@wallyandjilly375I'm on mobile and I've gotten pretty good and plugging holes as soon as I see the light. Also mining ahead a few blocks away helps. With a fast pick, you practically have to mine ahead if you don't wanna make tons of holes in the tunnel floor
A couple notes here:
1: in Bedrock 1.20.40 the boat clutch has been enabled, boats now negate falldamage on both versions.
2: In Bedrock the trick of staring at Endermen does *not* work at all, you'll get yourself killed if you try (like I did ages ago)
there isnt even a crosshair in pcket edition, so its kinda hard to stare at endermen at all, since you have to find the center of your screen
@@vogeline_there is a cross hair if you want there to be
@@OGPvPMC oh thx for telling me
Another thing. In bedrock, skeletons rapid fire when you get close, but they do not strafe
@@r.a1301 how is that useful though?
Trident drowneds have been my newest killer. I have had my boat hit by a trident then been hit by the trident twice before I've had a shield a few times, in hardcore. I need a training hall with "The Worst" in my practice world, I think.
Same here. They do tons of damage and you can't escape their aimbot. Not sure if it's true but I'm under the impression that shields break way faster when hit by a trident.
@@Sandkasten36 They do! But it’s way easier to get away between throws rather than swimming, without armor.
I'll be chilling watching something on my other monitor while sailing from point a to b, and then get hit by the truck that is a trident. I wish there was a way to proof yourself against it. Like cats deter creepers, wolves deter skeletons. Camels are tall enough to avoid damage from zombies. But nothing for travelling by sea. Sure, axolotl's can fight drowned, so I guess having one in a bucket ready to whip out once your boat has been broken is the next best thing. If you survive the trident hits.
Yup. I'm so paranoid to the point where I don't want to explore anything that is underwater or even travel on the water because of these trident drowneds
Easiest way to kill them and possibly obtain a trident is to dig a hole in the sea floor 3 levels deep, then a tunnel 3 to 4 blocks horizontally (so you don't drown). Eventually the drowned descends down in the hole where it can be easily killed.
21:35 There actually is another way to stop yourself from drowning really easily, and thats placing sugar cane on a dirt, gravel, or sand LEDGE. Even if you are in a stone cave or something just put a dirt block downon a flat surface to create a ledge, and place 2 sugar cane on top!
Heres what you do: Back up your world in short periods of time from time to time. If you die, just go to "backups" and put the file to "saves". Simple.
Bro if you do that then you can just play minecraft on hard mode.... Thats like cheating in lan world 😂, why play hardcore if you just gonna cheat and keep your world anyways, I died in my hardcore world and it sucks, but rather than opening the world to lan with cheats and continuing to play on it with a cheated second life I rather restart.
Can't do that on console or you'll run out of space quickly
@@Ju-Peter667 it's still smart to do even on normal worlds so you don't lose your world to some bullshit bug or corruption or something
@@Ju-Peter667 Agreed. I play hardcore with cheats on in SSP because I just want to have fun. (cheats are for spectator mode every now and then, like inspecting mob farms etc., not spawning in items)

@@skyhawkslcb18bro or 30😂
My favorite tip for dealing with wardens (and sculk sensors): You can actually sprint jump WHILE sneaking! Simply start sprint jumping, and then, before your feet hit the ground, hold sneak. You’ll be quite fast and undetectable! Even faster with the fast sneak enchantment.
Bonus points because it looks hilarious with swift sneak III lol
For skeletons, on bedrock, the arrows will even bounce off the shield and damage the skeleton. So it's worth it to get closer to them if you're unarmed. To allow the bouncing arrow to hit the skeleton. I've killed a few this way.
Yeah, that works on Java, too. It takes a bit to kill the skeleton this way since the damage arrows deal is directly tied to their speed, and arrows that bounce off you shield aren't moving that fast, but damage is damage.
pretty unrealistic feature. arrows are not bouncing of wooden shields IRL
@@artemkot-u2oit’s practical though, especially since you can’t attack and block at the same time
The only problem about the bedrock's skeletons are their ai, unlike java's skeleton, bedrock skeletons have rigged ai, if you would notice, in java, if youre trying to spam an item to try to kill it, theyll have a hard time to load/recharge their bow, unlike in bedrock, they can still attack you without having a hard time loading up their bow while youre spamming, they also have a really nice aim which makes them more dangerous than a bedrock creeper in early games, its also hard to do the juke method against them
@@artemkot-u2olmfao there are plenty of unrealistic features in Minecraft

Glad to see chorus fruit getting some credit, they are valuable when raiding end cities, to escape to the safe ground in an instant.
I usually use the “running away from warden” method also. However, sometimes I’ll run into a cave that has a dead end in it. And the warden will come and kill me…
I lost all my netherite armor weapons tools right before they added the upgrade things trying to run away from a warden in the darkness. I couldn't find my stuff cuz I couldn't figure out where I ran . & I still haven't been able to find the netherite upgrade things and have diamond stuff

I think it's better to wear disposable iron armour when raiding ancient cities.
Also, if the warden spawns then I think it's probably better to resist the urge to panic and sneak away first rather than run - they can't see you so as long as you sneak. And if you have space to move away from them far enough soon enough then they'll lose your scent.
That or use ender pearls and or blocks of wool on hot bar to barricade them or pillar up. Just remember they can shoot through walls so you still need to ensure you get 20 blocks away from them
My theory is players die in Minecraft because of creepers, but some players die in Minecraft because of creepers without knowing that there's a creeper near or behind them. (in my experience, i die because of creepers because i wasn't aware that there was a creeper because they creep up behind you hence the name, creeper

Another way to avoid drowning is spamming torches against a wall. Every torch gives you a few frames of air so mashing it will slowly let you regain air. Can be helpful if you're spelunking and want to explore/escape an underground water area without slowly digging out air pockets.
I genuinely think we all pretty much check daily for new eyecraft vids. You make the best MC content on UA-cam Eye! I’d love to more and more vids and definitely livestreams again! Much love Eye🤍

You can also use hay bales to reduce fall damage, very useful to take to the Nether especially as you can also use them to make backup food in emergencies!
1. Thank you for your work, I really need someone to patiently explain minecraft to me, and I feel I’m getting better at the game. What is more, this helps me a lot, as I am very scared of mobs, bad villagers, caving, nether etc, cos I’m scared to die. So yeah, it helps me a lot, I feel safer thanks to you. 🙏
2. I LOVE that you describe everything so calmly, you have a vibe of Animal Planet narrator, e.g. ,,As you can see, I got closer to the mob and I died.” And I absolutely ADORE it 😂❤
One tip on bedrock with elytra deaths is to deactivate it using the jump button then reactivate it. This instantly reduces your speed making it so you don't hit the ground very hard 😁 I use this technique pretty much every time I use elytra.
You can deactivate the elytra midair with the jump button in bedrock?? I always wished java had that; at least now the hotbar armor swap thing provides a pseudo elytra deactivation method.
About the knockback enchantment: I highly recommend AGAINST getting it at level 2, and sometimes even level 1. It makes killing mobs in general a lot harder, since it launches them away, and you have to run after them to finish them off.
About fire protection: in both java and bedrock, there is a sort of points system with the protection enchantments, and in each category, there is a maximum amount of points you can get. In bedrock, I believe you can max out all categories with max protection enchantments, but I'm not sure. In Java, however, this is not possible. If you get the max protection level on all armor, you'll be a little short on all specific categories, since protection gives fewer points, but in all categories. Here's the kicker: if you want to max out one category, you can do so by getting protection 4 on 3 pieces, then the specific resistance on the last piece; i.e., if you want maximum fire protection, get protection 4 on 3 armor pieces, and fire protection 4 on the last one. Getting fire protection 4 on all armor pieces doesn't give any extra advantage, and simply leaves you open to other forms of attack, like projectiles and explosions.
About endermen: Fire aspect is a no-go. They have a chance at teleporting every time they take fire damage, which makes them teleport around more, prolonging your fight. As long as the enderman is mad at you, you are vulnerable, so you want to kill it as quickly as possible. In fact, fire aspect in general is really only useful for getting cooked food when killing animals. Some mobs on fire can in turn set you on fire, and while the extra damage to them isn't very useful, the extra damage to you is dangerous. Ph1lza learned this lesson when he lost his 5 year hardcore world, and this fire aspect psa is brought to you by him.
Does Blast Protection work the same way as Fire Protection? Thanks
@@dannyc7839 Yes, the points system works the same with Fire protection, Blast protection, and Projectile protection, i.e. to get the maximum protection in any one of those 3 categories you only need protection 4 on 3 pieces and the specific protection type at level 4 on the last piece of armor.
I don't get why people don't like the knockback enchantment, it makes extremely deadly mobs like creepers and wither skeletons 60% less effective than what they would have been and the argument of knockback pushing them away too far is dumb because you obviously wouldn't use it on a skeleton to give them an advantage, not to mention if you have knockback enchantments, chances are you're far enough in the game to have a bow in your inventory anyway.
@@kornknot2726 I don't use a bow too often, but when I do, I use it to kill creepers. If a mob is dangerous due to melee, you use a bow, not knockback. Knockback requires you get in their danger zone, often more than once, to actually kill them. But for mobs too weak to really have a danger zone, like zombies, it makes killing them a lot more inconvenient.
@kornknot2726 I enjoy knockback but it's never the first enchantment I want out of a sword. Going in fast and knocking mobs around is always fun even if it isn't always the smartest. Also a lot of fun to use near cliffs or as part of defenses near your base. Knockback sword with bow is very satisfying and allows very fluid crowd control, or is nice when teamed up with a friend with a bow. It's very situational and for me more for fun, but since mine craft is a game that's fine. I do think they are superior for creeper slaying than regular swords...and not having to use arrows is nice if you don't have a mob farm or skeleton spawner...I think the real anti-creeper sleeper is the water bucket/lava bucket. Either push them away or burn them from around a corner, no arrows or enchanting needed...or just flint an steal them.
Most of my deaths come from making a mistake and falling, or just suddenly getting overpowered by a bunch of mobs. As someone who has played bedrock edition a lot I'd like to bring up a few things that may be helpful. 1. He is right, the boat will not kill you in Java as long as your in the boat and stuff, but for us on bedrock. Here's what you have to do, GET out of the boat just before you hit the ground. It's like in mario where you sacrifice yoshi to clutch a jump back up from the cliff before you go offscreen and die. 2. That actually makes a lot of sense! I do the same thing in bedrock edition with my elytra and by SLOWING DOWN and circling around your destination until you land. :) 3. Now here's an important one. Please check out his most recent video about netherite. That video has my comment in it about what I said about netherite mining. If I'm not mistaken I believe it's there. I talked about "fire protection" like he says in this video, you don't have to enchant your whole armor set with that. Just enchant the boots with fire protection, the protection may not be as effective against lava, but the cool thing is that as soon as you build up out of the lava, and land, you can count the burning 🔥, after a few burns... THE FIRE GOES OUT. compared to anything else you can use. I highly recommend having a spare boot pair with this enchantment, so that way, whenever you explore the nether it will be pretty dang hard to die. IVE TRIED IT. 4. Also other ways to avoid lava and fall damage, like when you mine for example, make sure your always sneaking. You definitely do not want to dig DIRECTLY ABOVE YOU, or DIRECTLY BELOW YOU, at any time you have a very small chance of falling into trouble. And what I'm also building a habit for is mining a staircase down to the mine, this is much safer and my habit is staying 1 block backward always while mining a block its a cycling system mine>testfor lava or a hole>then walk 1 step forward, this will save you from from falling, if you end up encountering it from the blocks you mined, which is away from you. But if you are like rushing, just stand right between 2 blocks, and then dig straight down in a 1x2 area. Remember to always sneak. However this is a disadvantage for survival multi-player because if you leave the hole open, in a great area to move around in, especially in an area where theres hills, someone could fall in. So if you do this, be sure you fill in the hole before you continue mining down. I hope that was helpful. Also amazing tips Eyecraft. I actually learned a few things from this. Your content is very helpful and fun to watch. Thank you. :)
MY most deaths are from GODDAMN BURNINGNG i get touched by lava? no problem. quickly change to blocks and block the lava, but im still burning. I lose *9* hearts to burning, and in my panic, I get sniped by a ghast. yippee
get a source of fire resistance. how to get 3 potions of fire resistance:
-make 3 bottles (3 glass blocks) and fill with water
-make a brewing stand (blaze rod on top of 3 stone tier blocks)
-set up the stand with blaze powder in the power slot (each blaze powder powers the stand for 20 reactions)
-put a nether wart in the reagent slot to make awkward potions (the precursor to all other potions)
-put a magma cream in the reagent slot to make them fire resistance potions
you can also put the following in the reagent slot after you've made the awkward potions for the following effects:
-glowstone increases the potion effect
-redstone increases the potion duration
-fermented spider eyes corrupt the potion effect
-gunpowder makes it a splash potion
-dragon's breath makes it a lingering potion
A few more that deserve a mention imo:
-Piglin Brute:
Bastions have very little space to fight and there's lots of brutes, very easy to get stuck in a corner and die
-End Void:
Your ender pearl hits the side of an island and you fall to your death
-Elytra in tight space:
You aren't wearing your chestplate and get killed by mobs, usually on long-term hardcore worlds like Ph1lza in the cave and Jon and Dan to raid farm vexes
-Iron Golem:
You either build your 3-tall tower near a hill that they then climb to hit you, or you try mining a block but accidentally hit them and either die in 1 hit or can't escape
Brutes can be trapped with a boat
-Piglin Brute:
loot bastions from the top so that brutes are always below you. then hit their heads or lava them
-End Void:
always wear an elytra and have rockets in your hot bar in the end. chestplates aren't too important in the end
-Iron Golem:
if you accidentally hit one in mid/late game, deal with them the same way you run away from a player that is more stacked than you on pvp servers, water/lava them, pearl away, etc. enderman tips might also work
@@jack_of_no_trades The end void one usually happens when you're looking for your first elytra
Skeleton are more dangerous than creepers
They just randomly shoot you first without you even knowing about their existence and they will knock us back to fall off or get attacked by other mobs
🧢
Tell me about it, started a mega snow biome playthrough and the skeletons are relentless 😅
They are very deadly i lost my 3 years hardcore world becouse of that skeleton
I somewhat agree, early game skeletons are more scary, but after you get armor and a shield it is not that scary .
Also anytime you are in areas where creepers can spawn, constantly turning around and looking above and behind you, and not staying in one place, and staying away from places where they can surprise you from around a corner takes away their ability to sneak up on you, and they're very slow, so if you see them first, they're closer to harmless, but still sort of dangerous, but if you know what to do when you see them, so still be careful. Also I recommend enchanting your shield with unbreaking 3 and mending. Then you can always have it ready as long as you keep defeating mobs to repair it with exp.
13:52 The water bucket tactic is a good trick to use in the End; however, because water in Minecraft is a bit janky, it only spreads out circularly like that when it’s placed on a relatively flat surface. I have died many times by placing a water bucket on some hilly End terrain and watching in horror as it does not create a mini lake but instead a small 1-block stream flowing downhill. Just felt like mentioning this so that other people can know, but still great video regardless!
I mean yeah this entire video is effectively the epitome of “don’t have a skill issue” but honestly that warden trick of literally putting it in the time out hole is hilarious and I’ll definitely be trying that if I have a fast enough tool.
Also, I believe the pillaring up strategy against hoglins is a new thing with the mob reach changes? I could have sworn they had the reach to hit 3 blocks above itself, as I always needed to pillar up 4 blocks and use a trapdoor to put myself into crawling mode.
I think some of the tips here too are a bit too dated or specific to be used by most players, and some deaths I feel are much more common in regards to myself and those I hang out with were not shown, such as piglin brutes inside of bastions and poison from witches and cave spiders.
Some disclaimers such as Knockback being incredibly detrimental for fighting ranged mobs such as skeletons and blazes along with possibly making it hard or impossible to retrieve their loot, and that basic Protection enchants also reduce fire and lava damage, and that maybe a full set of fire protection is overkill
The memories still hurt 😢 losing all my stuff to lava or a ninja creeper. But we learn and we get better at the game. Thank you for the tips 😊
Eyecraft, love the guides as always but i thought i should point something out (also a video idea?)
11:52 This has bugged me for a while when i see people do it, but stats like fire protection are unnecessary to have on more than 2 pieces of armor. I watched a video once that explained pretty well how the different enchantments worked, and it explained the different types of damage a player can take (that enchantments can lower). That being standard damage (like a zombie hitting you) projectiles, fire, and explosive. A player is only able to have 5 protection "bars" against each of these types of damage, with each type of enchantment giving a bar for its power. So projectile protection 3 would give 3 bars of protection against projectiles. This is all true except for normal protection, which gives 1 to each bar at max level, and partials for each other.
This means that full prot 4 armor would give all protection types 4 bars. This means that if you want to get max fire resistance while still having good on other damage reductions you should have 3 prot 4 and 1 fire prot 4. However I still recommend having all protection 4 on your armor as the damage difference is very little and it helps you reduce every other type of damage as well.
Great to see someone bringing this up! The one situation where two pieces of specialized protection gear (fire, blast, etc.) is useful is when using Elytra. The only way to get maximum protection for a specific type in that case is to wear one armor with protection 4, and the other two pieces with the same specialized protection (also at rank 4).
eyecraftMC: Every netherite item is lava resistant.
Lodestone: Imma end this man's whole career
This is the first general "death prevention" minecraft video I've seen on youtube so Eye gets a like just for that. The stare at endermen trick is cool (didnt know about that), but it would have been nice to get more tips about protecting against creepers when they are creeping. A vast majority of my creeper deaths are because a creeper snuck up on me or spawned in a weird way so as to be undetectable until too late.
Pro tip: that rhythm of balancing blocking and hitting mentioned at 7:35 can be used in more or less the same way to avoid being withered by wither skeletons in the nether. If you let them approach with your shield up in one hand and sword in the other, wait until you hear the *thunk* of your shield blocking a hit and then as immediately as you can, slash with the sword. If you do it right, you won't get withered and you'll damage the skeleton as well as knock it back far enough to begin the cycle again.
In fact, if you can truly master this technique, it can be utilised to avoid being damaged by almost all of the attacks mobs can make against you. Like.. ever...
The exceptions being creeper blasts, enemies with axes, boss type mobs like the warden's special attack and I think perhaps evokers as well? But for literally everything else mobs can do to you, a well timed block/attack rhythm can protect you from 100% of arrows, zombie hits, tridents, hoglin bites... you name it, you're basically invulnerable to it. So much so that the shield is one of the first items i build when i get iron, and from there i more or less make sure i never go anywhere or do anything away from base without carrying a shield in my off hand. It's saved my life more times than i can fathom.
Can axes hit through shields? I am a returning player and everything is scary again!😂
Could we get another part of this if there arent other videos planned? This was very helpful for my friend that’s getting into the game. Thank you!
If you acidently hit the iron golem, it will chase you. All you have to do is unload the chunks that the iron golem is in or just run until you don’t see the iron golem anymore and you are fine!
If you have motion sickness for spinning around, you can look up to slow down then look back to the front for a smooth landing👍
something i learnt from this video that will definitely be really useful is that you can put yourself out with powder snow in the nether so thank you for actually teaching me something new in this video!
It doesn’t happen as often but falling into lava hurts a lot more because you not only lose all your items but also your experience which can be devastating if you spent a lot of time getting those items and experience.

@@Andrew-pq3lj MC using the Gamestop return policy with XP
If I lose experience that doesn’t really bother me as long as I can still retrieve all my items, but losing both is the worst.
Dude!
I did not know that block trick with a creeper and I played Minecraft for almost 10 years now 💀
Thank you!
Your welcome! and thank you for the superchat :D
The boat method to reduce fall damage works of bedrock now too! They changed it in the new snapshot released today :)
i haven't played minecraft for a longtime. that background music literally took me back to a couple of years back😥
“Put blocks is your offhand to stop the lava flow”
Bedrock players: …😢
One of similarly unfair death is falling with gravel or sand generated without sustenance. Especially in nether, when you are above the lava lake. Needed to be aware of as well
Another epic video, keep it up man! Gonna continue watching.
Thanks for the tips. I kept dying to the warden. Have a good day. DERP.
What I use for falling early game is the MLG relog. No damage for a few ticks right as you spawn in.
Works best in single player.
This is a great trick for sure
That’s cheating! I approve!!!!!
Edit! My cheat is keep inventory… and never killing the dragon. Been playing since Alpha with 3 years off before Horse Update….
For chess…
@@Barbuttthat’s mighty boring
@@bigguy9101 Man! I really let you down. What the heck is wrong with me!? Apologies.
@@bigguy9101 Ooh! Maybe this will thrill you. Hardcore game I actually got some farms going, potions and enchanting… something I rarely do. Played it near a year.
Got lost one night nearing death from mobs. Slept. Went out in morning still hurting to tend crops… Creeper, oh man! I’m blown into the sky… half a heart! I’m totally thrilled!
Hit ground… Phil fell from a high place! If the creeper killed me I’d be bent… fall damage had me laughing, didn’t expect that.
Any entertainment value there?
I have well over 5000 hours into Minecraft and have played since 2012. Yet I still watch these videos because of how entertaining they are. Bravo
Hey eyecraft can you pls continue the survival live series you did on that snowy mountain where you had a green parrot named Grannysmith i enjoyed watching those series a lot
For me, Its just bedrock skeletons. They just can't miss, it feels a bit unfair at times. Once I get a shield, the issue is half solved, but when there are multiple skeletons it gets way too overwhelming.
For the record, all endermen are named Dave.
Zombie pigmen with me in prot 4 netherite elytra do 2 hearts. I've lost *NUMEROUS* hardcore worlds to them
One more trick that people often forget is to not panic and try to stay calm. Seems simple enough but people tends to forget what to do when they panic
Me. Im people
Haha
Oh believe you me, I can die in some of the dumbest ways possible in this game! The other day I was walking by a lava pit that I had mostly mined out the obsidian except for a few blocks so I decided to finish it. I mined the block next to the wall and lava came pouring out and somehow the block underneath me disappeared and I was suddenly swimming in lava. Luckily, I had a bucket of water on my bar. Unluckily, I turn the block above me to cobblestone pinning me in the lava...dead.
Great video! Very complete guide but you could have also mentioned the fire resistance potions against blazes, as it renders their ranged atacks useless
I find it pretty funny that he mentioned fire resistance potions when speaking of lava deaths but not on blazes
@@khuani I just remembered because i use them all the time for blazes. And for general safety in the nether as well.
Blazes: what really works very well for me is instead of placing the barriers for wither skeletons all 2 blocks above gound, place 2 of them 1 blocks above ground. That will create a perfect protection from blaze shots and lets you eat and recover
10:50 if you are ever digging a long 2x1 in the nether, it’s best to just wear full fire protection armour because you hardly take any damage and you can just swim through the lava to fill in the source
Usually when I die in Hardcore is because I'm in caves and a creeper falls right into me from some height. 'Till this day I'm not so sure how to survive that
3:48 Bedrock also has this in the 1.20.40 beta
Big missing tip on the creepers is the dive-bombs. If you're in a cave keep an eye out for ledges, and the best thing to do around ledges is to _keep moving_ , at least until you get underneath something. If you want to mine an ore vein that puts you by a ledge, dig a single block out and stand in it for the reasons he mentions, and ideally put a block over your head. It's also helpful to get in the habit of using f5 (you can set it to whatever key) to look around things.
5:24 Also, while a viable option be mindful that you have to land _on top_ of the snow for it to work, whereas you can be anywhere inside water when you place it. This makes it roughly 30% more precise than water.
8:41 Fun fact; creepers will attack skeletons if skeletons shoot them. It's just very rare because the creeper always prioritizes the player, and for it to happen, the skeleton has to see you and a creeper has to be between you and the skeleton while not being able to see you. I've had this happen twice; a skeleton shoots at me, and as I'm leaving I hear an explosion lol
10:22 Another important missing tip is, if insta-mining, only go fast enough that you can react to if you were to dig out into the open. Keep your eyes open for a change in lighting as it's the clearest tell.
11:51 Also with normal full protection IV good foods will outpace the damage.
Also regarding drowning, if you have a bucket (imagine not having a bucket...) you can just go against a block and hold right-click and you'll slowly regain air.
The number one thing that helped me though was to do hardcore runs where I just tried to beat the game and no more. That put me in the deadly situations organically but without the commitment of a world, so I could learn how to not panic.
11:46
Call me a tryhard but using full fire prot4 isn't gonna help you!
3 pieces of armor w/ prot4
+
1 piece of armor w/ fire prot4
already max fire prot!
Going over that limit won't have effect
Blast protection is a great enchantment to deal with surprise creepers, so make sure you have that on your armor if you are going into caves if at all possible. This is only possible after getting an enchanting table though, and that requires a diamond
drownding?
11:50 heyy eyecraft i learned that special protection enchantments are actually useless to combine if of the same type! meaning maximum specific fire protection is already reached with a fire prot IV armour part! you can still increase it by putting normal prot on all the others though :)
aside from that ofc thank you very much for the help!!
2 of each to max as far as I know
You've given me so many awesome tips for MC, thank you for the wonderful content and quite useful info!
Np!
No problem...
1) never dies fron creeper: creepers are one of the most dangerous mob in Minecraft because you'll never know when he can explode, especially inside the caves.
2) never dies from skeletons. Just avoid and stay away from them.
3) Wardens? Never spawn that. Be quiet and carefull.
Who's excited for Bedrock Hardcore?
👍👍👀👍
It never came
Yesterday I created 3 hardcore worlds just to try out Java edition as I'm a veteran Bedrock edition player because of the crossplay feature. It wasn't a serious gameplay though, but in all 3 worlds I died to skeletons.
Okay but where is the water bucket spamming method to not drown?
that exists?
@@LavaCreeperPeople yep, you just need to spam click the water bucket into a block while youre there
My most common cause of deaths in my hardcore runs.
The nether as a whole pretty much.
-You cannot bucket clutch due to things vaporizing, if falling on high height to solid, prepare haybales, it reduces 80% of fall damage. Or you could get POWDERED snow which is harder to get, as a substitute to a water bucket. Java boats can negate fall damage when moving, but I'm assuming you fell off by accident and did not ride on the boat on the way down.
-Pigmen can screw you over really well. Say you accidentally anger one, and you hide in a wall with a 1 block opening, the babies can still kill you. I carry like nether fences as babies can't jump over that.
-Enderman on the end. Never attack them unless under a platform under 2 blocks, and some fences. The fences are for pigmen in case one walks by.
DO NOT dig a whole in the wall when attacking endermen, as you won't be able to tell if a pigmen is passing by, and the whole pigmen problem could happen. DO NOT try to trap them in boats, you might miss and just die.
-Everywhere you go, to every landmark you go to. Make a cobblestone bridge, 1 block above you, 2 on the side (bottom side), and 1 underneath. This is anti-magma cube, anti-ghast, anti-wither skellys, but not baby pigmen. So as soon as you hit a pigman, barricade yourself and place holes nearby where the babies can fall into. Have some cobble on the (top side) to block from blaze fireballs or ghast fireballs.
-Always bring fire-res (which you can get from piglin trading), OR have a golden apple. BOTH can give you fire res when you fall in lava. If you have a fireres splash potion and you're in lava, THROW UP and it'll land back on you.
-Most people know that gold armor protects you from piglin aggro. But people forget the other things that aggro them, opening or breaking any container chest/barrel/shulkerbox/etc. Mining Gold. But the biggest thing, is with Piglin Brutes.... Honestly, just run, don't fight them when they'e already aggro'd on you. Run until a safe distance, pillar up, build a bridge until you're over them, and then throw lava onto them so the other piglins don't aggro you. If you can pillar up (up to 4 blocks minimum) WHILE they're aggroing you already, it's riskier that way but less time consuming.
21:07 Fully-grown, English-speaker invents new word: "drown-ding"
Irked me so much
2:00 fake info me and My friend were on boat and creeper in Waters exploded and killed us both with iron armor last week
bro creepers can still damage you in water they just cant break blocks 💀💀💀
He literally said in the vid to hold up Ur shield
I always keep a cauldron when I go to the Nether, if you catch fire you can place a water bucket inside and go into it to stop the fire. I find it more convenient than snow buckets (especially when fighting Blazes) because you can use the same bucket of water to stop the fire multiple times before it completely dries out
About the drowning:
U can also spamclick a torch on a block where ur head is
Will give u air over time
With turtle shell, it gives full breath after 1 time
The zombies at the end looked like that Titanic scene 😂
That would have been a plot twist and a half 😏
Trapdoors are like jingling keys to Wardens
Bedrock skeletons are built different. Got snipped 30 blocks away
what kills me the most is blazes. they just end up getting behind me without me realizing. so I will literally go overkill, disable the spawner, and then make a trap with pistons to funnel them down into a 2x2 area so i can kill them without them ever seeing me.
knockback is actually such a good enchantment in hardcore, it usually gives you some distance to run away or enact a plan.
for me it helped a lot with magma cubes and creepers and baby zombies
Wow you always tell me something I never knew I should take to heart. Great vid Eye me and you are just the same I die in MInecraft by fall damage and creppers keep up the good work love you ❤
I know a few other ways not to die.
For Blazes: once you get the ability to brew potions, the Fire Resistance potion makes you completely immune to their ranged attacks, which is great because you don't have to remember to hold up a shield.
For drowning: if you have a good quality pickaxe and/or shovel and are nearby a wall or ceiling, START DIGGING. You should then make an air pocket you can breathe in. This doesn't work on the floor, since water tends to completely fill the floor.
Here are some things about your tips: Doors cannot prevent drowning, including Fences in Bedrock Edition. And in the Enderman, and DO NOT SPRINT unless you need to due to hunger. and in Bedrock Edition, Wardens will constantly target you unless you are quiet, It makes sense because Wardens are blind. Mostly in Video Games, Crouching or Crawling can reduce sound.
And another thing, Another way on how to stop an elytra without spinning your mouse too fast. is to do a curve or look up, If your not sure what enemies are nearby, press f5 until you reach the ground
Almost all of these mobs are easily defeated by one thing...

Seriously, boat strat saved me a lot in hardcore.
Piglin Brutes? put it in a boat.
Vindicator? place down a lot of boats.
Angy Enderman? Get boated chump.
You're annoying villager is running away? Put. It. In. The. Boat.
The obvious weakness of the boat strat is those big mobs.
I learned 2 things in this video, and one being that u can make a toy for the warden, where he'll get more focused on that. Which is incredible!
great video!. btw theres also the dream trick with the water bucket. for those who dont know you just find a place to stand underwater and then spam a water bucket in the block that your head is in and your bubles will slowly go up.
Extremely helpful, but one thing I want to warn you people: Flying away from the Warden while having the darkness effect on you can also kill you quite quickly. It's actually the only time on my server that I died and didn't get my stuff back, because I had absolutely no clue where I even died because everything happened so fast. The running away method might be the easiest and safest. Just run until the darkness effect dissapears and you can wait a couple of seconds or minutes and the Warden despawns again.
I lost my hardcore world very late game (essentially infinite totems from raid farm) due to several piglin brutes. They popped my totem, I had to equip another, and then they broke that too. I didn’t have any more readily available in my inventory so tried flying away, straight into a block. I “experienced kinetic energy while trying to escape piglin brute.” Late game hardcore death messages are almost always so specific
I don't think I ever died by a creeper in hardcore minecraft. But - these drowned trident zombies....
find the most common death
me:
dies from falling from a ladder in a Minecart onto a waterlogged slab.
for wardens i find it's best to just sneak away, running or flying is far more dangerous and makes it take longer for the warden to despawn
Another tip: splash instant health potions. Low on health? Get half of it back instantly. They're cheap and renewable, so you can use them in abundance without wasting time worrying about wasting them like a gapple.
If you right click on armor in your main hand, you equip it and unequip anything in it's place. Including elytra. So if you're going to fast with elytra, equip a chest plate by right clicking it and you won't take flying damage. Fall damage is still in effect tho
Lava: *especially* when tunnelling through netherrack, there's no need to carry 'dam' blocks in your off-hand (which I far too often mis-place *beneath* the falling lava, which only makes the situation worse).
Instead, since you're obviously already using a (presumably fairly efficient) pick - immediately dig a small hole, directly under or as close as possible to where the lava is about to fall, or has just fallen and is beginning to 'flow'. This only needs to be a single block in size, and below the nearby 'floor' level; Flow mechanics will immediately redirect the path of any nearby falling or flowing lave into this hole.
Bonus: the absence of a 'dam' allows you to get one block closer to the lava source, making it easier to collect with a bucket, fill in or close off with a block, at your leisure. Unlike a 'dam' block, you can also dig *around* the lava flowing into the hole, without increasing the spread.
Drowning: So long as you have Respiration III (helmet enchantment), you will *never* drown. The air bubbles will still count down (a little slower than 'usual') and the drowning animation will activate, but even 'natural' regeneration (ensure your hunger bar is full) will replenish your health, faster than damage occurs.
[Both these tips have only been confirmed in Minecraft Java. I don't play the Bedrock version].
That Warden trick really helps! I got killed three times in a row because I went back for my stuff. Really tough mob😮
fire resistance potions are great for fighting blazes since that will make you immune to their fireballs
The deadliest bit about Creepers is that they make no noise, so they have a tendency to sneak up on you while you're caving. And you only have 0.5 seconds to react in that scenario.
Which means the best defense is always just armor. Blast IV set when I'm caving because let's be honest, the only thing dangerous enough to worry about in caves are creepers.
Seperate sets for The Nether, Monument Raids, and Deep Dark Raids. In fact, unless you're trying to be as tesource efficient as possible, the only reason you'd need base Prot IV is for Pillager Raids.
For the wardens run more than 20 blocks away and make sure your not close to a shrieker to spawn another and sneak away from it and wait at least 60 seconds til it’s back underground
Once you get a shield, fall damage (or lava) is about your only worst enemy imo
And axe mobs/the warden/sometimes blazes when they shoot your feet/some raid mobs
One this to note is that the double knockback from sprinting only applies to the first hit during your sprint.
Every subsequent hit will deal regular knockback.
In order to get the double KB back, you need to stop your sprint and start it again. This is most easily done by tapping W or crouch.
