Fun Fact: You can load a crossbow with Fireworks that have a Firework Star. This effectively turns your crossbow into a rocket launcher which is great for crowd control if there are a large amount of mobs grouped up together like during a raid.
@@LemCatOfficial i really would love more village types, swamp and jungle especially bc they already have corresponding skins for the villagers anyways. but cherry villages, maybe mountain villages, cave “villages” (more like a shelter underground with hermits at that point), mushroom island villages would all be amazing additions as well, at the very least give them all biome specific skins (like they have already with the swamp and jungle) so people can build their own villages to match
13:00; you can also craft suspicious stew on bedrock the same way you can on java: a flower, a brown mushroom, a red mushroom, and a bowl. However, the most efficient method would be the brown mooshroom since it doesn't require any mushrooms only a bowl and a flower.
Handy hint, carry a book and quill for making notes like coordinates. Or, use an anvil to name a tool or armour piece your base coordinates so you can always find your way home.
Shear spider webs and then break them down from your inventory to get 9 string instead of one from using swords! Edit: aaaaand they removed it in the 1.20 update and I'm appalled 😭
I place them against droppers so items always drop perfectly straight down in full stacks, which saves tons of materials not building drop chutes, lot less hoppers, etc. Cobwebs are incredibly handy to use
1) I like the use of chat as a way of taking notes within the game, but I like using a Book even better. That way, you always have the coordinates to key locations on hand. I've also started using signs with coordinates on them to point me in the right direction. 2) I use the Wall as a "vertical slab" all the time, but I still want/think we need actual vertical slabs. There are plenty of things that we can do with a vertical slab that are not possible with Walls. 3) Cave houses are perfect for starter houses and remote bases, and I agree that it is an often underused building technique 4) I've gone to using Lava Buckets for smelting almost exclusively since they added Pointed Dripstone and the ability to make a Lava Farm. 5) I'm still impressed with the glass-covered main end island.
Another benefit of chorus fruit is that it can be eaten at full hunger, which means you can use it to pump up your saturation to the maximum and heal faster.
a big mistake early player tend to do (i know because that was me), is making the house extremely big while having very little in it. I use to make big houses and not know what to do with all that space. I know that in the moment, we all allow our creativity to run wild and think bigger is better. When in reality, efficiency is much better. What a lot of early players don’t realize is that making a big house takes twice as much resources, twice as much torches so mobs don’t accidentally spawn inside the house, and twice as many tools and work stations to fill in all of that empty space. It’s also dismotivating having a big house with nothing on it. It makes the brain feel like it’s never enough. I now prefer a small/ compact house with all of my basic needs available to me at all times.
I agree. I made a massive house at the start of my world a few years ago and now I’m stuck with this massive house with 5 floors and only the ground floor is properly used. But I guess it looks nice.
@@V1Salvo five floors isn’t bad fam, but what i did is start with two floors, and from their, all my other floors were dug underground. I use the second floor for all my needs and the first floor serves as a entrance, storage area, and i use ladders to go up and down insides of making stairs. It’s all about accessibility and functionality
@@Tripod9648 that’s kind of similar to mine. I use ladders too and the first floor is mainly just storage and basic utility blocks like crafting, furnaces, etc. In basement I have my bedroom, where I display the dragon egg and head. I also have the enchanting setup there. On second floor I have my brewing potions room with a nether wart farm as well. On third floor it is another bedroom (different theme) and there is also an L-Shaped balcony out to watch the sunset. But then the fourth floor is pointless. Nothing there. My house overall is poorly designed (although I do like how it looks). But the thing is, it’s way too big to justify breaking it down and rebuilding it. It’s such a weird design too, even though it looks nice, and that means it would take an incredibly long time to break it down. I can’t just adjust it, I would have to completely break down the house and everything in it. I’d rather just make another base if I really have to. I also have a mountain house but it’s pointless and probably only for aesthetic purposes. It’s not a great mountain house anyway and it is also a bit too far from my main camp, despite it being connected via a path.
@@V1Salvo lmao i related so much to the mountain house because i also tried to do that. I love aesthetic houses and builds. Their so incredible, but playing Minecraft made me realize my limitations as a “builder.” A lot of Minecraft builders set a foundation, use mods to manipulate terrain to suit their aesthetic designs, and have been doing houses for years. My best advice is to start small, preferably in a new world and keep it basic and slowly add on to it. I don’t put all my stuff in my house either. I have Iron farms, trading halls, villager farms, etc.. Just don’t overdue it and think too big, think reasonable then start adding on to it lmao
When making your own village, use iron doors with buttons inside and out to keep villagers safe. They're too stupid to push buttons, so they'll stay safely inside their houses. If one escapes, break the door down and ring a bell, he'll run back into his house and you can just re-place the door.
Not related but my villager, fenced inside a house, still strangely became a witch after a thunderstorm. I have no idea how. The house was still perfectly in tact, and one day I walked in and the villager was a witch. He couldn’t have escaped since he was fenced off AND also inside the house. If the thunder got him through the house, wouldn’t the house have set on fire?
Your map can also be used to navigate even in the nether, your symbol on the map turns red and as long as you know where your base is on the map you could easily be able to get back to your base provided you find or build a portal near your base
I write down notes and coordinates on my in-game "Book & Quill". Easy to keep track of, and has worked for me for years. Don't forget to COPY YOUR WORLDS to use as a backup in case you fall in lava with it tho!!
Keep your Book & Quill in your Ender Chest, leave your "Primary" ender chest at your base, and then just carry around an extra ender chest with you. If you die, you'll lose the one chest, but your book will remain. Just craft another one to carry around with you and you'll be just fine. Additionally, you can craft a bunch of shulker boxes, and use them for different things (tool chest, food chest, etc.), and keep them in your Ender chest as well. That way you can carry around a ton of gear and it only costs you a single inventory space.
The "cave house" is one I've been doing for a longgggg time. In almost every world I play in my first home is in a cave, hill, or mountain. I dont have to spend much time getting resources to build it since Im carving it out and I can focus on staying safe through the night.
@Garrett Campbell Only in Java. Bedrock doesn't have that. We Bedrock players used to have scaffolding able to smelt 6 blocks per scaffolding block, but that got nerfed.
One extra tip if you play on Realms, rather than using chat to note down coordinates, take a screenshot and post it to the “timeline” posting thing, and title it the coordinates of what you’re screenshotting That way anyone in your realm can use it as a collection of locations and builds with their coordinates
If you’re going to use golden tools and or armor, I’d highly suggest you enchant them with not only mending but also unbreaking and maybe others as well.
Something I would like to add to this list: Fire Resistance potions when going to the Nether (removes ½ the danger). Brewing station, blaze powder, magma cream, nether wart, redstone dust water bottles. You'll need to gather most of these from the Nether but after that it gets easier to venture back and forth. Make an awkward potion with the wart, then add magma cream (from Magma cube mob) makes the potion, then add redstone dust to increase the duration to 8min.
I love carving houses into ravines. Especially if the ravine goes straight down to diamonds. If there's lava, all you need is water buckets and then boom, instant floor :D
I love the funny jokes you make every now and then 😂 It keeps the video from being one of those boring tips and tricks video’s and makes it more original ❤
I would just use golden carrots instead of dandelion suspicious stew. Almost as good and much easier to obtain since doesn't need a mooshroom, plus stacks like you said
2:20 When there's Wall variants for everything that has a fence variant, then I'll be (mostly) satisfied. Until then, just having stone Wall "vertical slabs" isn't quite enough...
I liked to use a book and quill to store ideas for projects and other important things. It helps me remember what I was doing after long hiatuses. The more lived-in my world looks, though, the more I can remember. Otherwise I feel creeped out by the familiarity but lack of recall.
If you plant trees in a zigzag or use 4 spruce saplings to make giant spruce you can just plant a solid wall around a base or village etc. Personally I like the mega spruce walls because they are really imposing (especially if they are surrounding a tower or giant tree house build in a dark forest) but birch zigzag walls look great in certain areas and are more uniform.
I almost exclusively watch ibx2cat but i've just got back into minecraft in the last week, great timing on the video popping into my recommended, I'm already finding myself unfamiliar with the latest updates so nice one
I have to slightly disagree with the lava bucket as fuel source thing : for new players in new worlds this is absolutely viable, but when you start needing blocks in bigger amounts for building, having a super smelter with a bamboo farm attached to it is saving you insane amounts of time. Other then that, nice Video :-)
what about a super smelter with automatic lava attached you could use the new auto crafter hooked uo to an iron farm to make buckes and dripstone to make lava
@@aftonyoung8203 if you got a stack furnace, you would need 64 buckets of lava each time you want to smelt something, don’t know if that really makes more sense then just chopping down 3 spruce trees
I love mining all materials from a mountain expect most of the stones. Made really cool caves in 1.14 and I got really good hideouts in there with it aswell. Then I smoothed the roads, added pavings, stairs, piston doors, enchanting table, library, living room etc. I actually run out of materials by furnishing it...
This video flip flops between things that are actually niche and useful and things that are technically true but so inefficient and far from the best way to do it. It's great
I was picking up things in the desert when I was newer to MC and the sand fell out below me, and I went straight into lava at the bottom of the ravine and lost everything I had.
I had something similar happen recently. I stopped on a small beach to sleep. I placed down the bed, and as I clicked to sleep, the sand gave way. When I woke up, the bed was saved by one block.
I have used the tree planting trick to create a walled fortress around my dominant trade town. No raid is crossing those. Used giant spruce and dark oak for double walls, staggering position and single trees for palisade effect.
@@jeeetb Yes exactly, milk removes all of your effects (fire resistance, poison, withering effect,...) but honey removes only the negative ones And honey would be more handy in the nether since you don't wanna lose your fire resistance for example
Gather magma blocks from ruined Nether portals. Then place them in a line underwater where there are salmon and cod. You will have an unlimited source of food… and collect a fair amount of bones.
This is the best minecraft youtuber for adults imo, first one i at least heard in a minute to mention building bases into mountains, thats my strategy every time and as soon as u get a super smelter goin u can literally build out a huge bunker, then use all that stone to put a huge castle on top the mountain or walls around ur bunker
I have a whole island for Endermen in my world. It's a giant pyramid and a desert island with a enderman eggs in a dispenser. They are free to mold the island to their liking.
I feel like you should be able to plant saplings on sand and after a while (maybe when on dirt it would grow into a tree) it would dry out and turn into a dead bush
I leave a trail of torches. Left side on the walls for illumination middle of the floor for navigation. 4 caves with Dead ends backtrack, to the entrance pick up the floor torches as i go and drop a dead end sign at the entrance. I leave the the wall torches so if I breach it from another cave. No floor torches tells me. I've been there b4.
i use dead bushes in autumn and winter themed gardens as we dont have seasons, it makes people coming across my homes in multiplayer rather interesting XD., im not great at building but all my villages have walls and i have become rather good at making turets along the walls, i tend to do a 3 wide wall (so wall, path, wall) then build out the turrets at intivals giving me a high place. my first home in any world is a "cave" house, normally a 5 by 4 hole in the side of a mountain or in a actual cave, the back walls tend to end up as furnaces with blast furnaces and smokers sprinkled in, the floor enevatibly ends up as chests and anvis and the side walls end up being made up of utility blocks (chrafting table, smithing table, loom, stonecutter, grindstone, brewing stand, cauldron, the only thing that actually stays as a natural feature is the cave facing wall, if im feeling fancy ill hang a lantern an use windows otherwise ill just do a sky light with a block of galss at ground level from he central block XD.
About the coordinates: not sure how annoying it'd be on bedrock but on java I just take screenshots with F3 looking at something recognizable. Then I have a shortcut to the screenshot folder, open it up on another virtual desktop and there it is - the coordinate saving mod in vanilla.
I invented a fireplace design that uses lava, hidden in the floor, to light barrels (which light aflame, but aren't destroyed). Observer clocks constantly update the lava, so the flames burn basically indefinitely despite using no netherrack, magma blocks, or soul sand.
i also do a lot of these things. also if you want a raid, don't use a village with your important villagers with trades you care about. it's better to use a village specifically meant for a raid
Also, I like to use the 2x2 trees (like dark oak) as a wall. Just plant a row of 2x2 trees and voila an instant/tall wall around your base. Bonus points if you manscape the wall and take off all the leaves.. (Idk if this wall trick works on non-java version.) The tip above should be considered ransom paid to toycat's captors. Please let toycat go, unharmed.
Easy trick for Suspicious Stew: keep the four ingredients in full stacks (aside from the bowl) and craft it when you need it. Only takes four slots, which is still more than Gold Carrots, etc. admittedly, but still more efficient hunger-wise.
Beetroots are actually really useful. They're pretty much the best source of red dye. Sure, poppies, red tulips and rose bushes are everywhere, but obtaining additional of them requires bonemeal. Beetroots only require time, and since you plant the seeds rather than the food itself, it's constantly multiplying. Also, they grow quickly. So if you need a lot of red dye, say for concrete or terracotta, keep a beetroot patch handy.
I think I'll build in the End. I just don't know yet which blocks to use, because I didn't get to the End yet, but my main reason for going to the End (that is after setting up a Blaze Farm in the Nether) is farming Chorus Fruits, so I can use them to create End Rods. End Rods are just so pretty. And especially when I'm doing a cave building, End Rods look so pretty if placed horizontally as a paddock for animals. You know that type of metal fence where the bars are horizontal? I like to replicate those fences with End Rods.
The first time I played Minecraft I had actually dug into the side of the mountain near an ocean for my house. This was when Minecraft was still fairly new
saturation actually stacks so it doesn't matter which order you eat it. you get 14 saturation with golden carrots i'm fairly sure and you can have a baked potato after to have a total of 18 i'm fairly sure. i may be wrong though about the exact numbers
Censored and banned in your own single player game lol. Luckily me and my friend got our week long ban lifted, but it was crazy for both of us to get banned for swearing in our own private world.

2:20 When there's Wall variants for everything that has a fence variant, then I'll be (mostly) satisfied. Until then, just having stone Wall "vertical slabs" isn't quite enough...
next minecraft update: disabled writing coordinates in chat to not let children tell their coordinates in real life
@C-Hermann Lakehunt-C ayo bot why tf you talking like this???
I liked to use a book and quill to store ideas for projects and other important things. It helps me remember what I was doing after long hiatuses. The more lived-in my world looks, though, the more I can remember. Otherwise I feel creeped out by the familiarity but lack of recall.
I also use book and quill.
If you plant trees in a zigzag or use 4 spruce saplings to make giant spruce you can just plant a solid wall around a base or village etc. Personally I like the mega spruce walls because they are really imposing (especially if they are surrounding a tower or giant tree house build in a dark forest) but birch zigzag walls look great in certain areas and are more uniform.

Been playing Minecraft since 2009 and I'm learning this NOW.
This video feels like toycat is slowly going insane
me too 😭😭😭 like hows having a pet elder guardian a tip
Wow, he used a lot of Kirby sound effects in the intro!
AND ALSO POSSIBLY THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO
@C-Hermann Lakehunt-C The bots are getting racist now??? Wtf
@@Jevmin Yeah, I saw it.
it got deleted
@@sangeetagrover4328 Or reported, either way, it's gone.
Unless you're talking about the video, in which case, AW MAN 😭
You should use fortune III on your crops, pretty useful if you're looking to trade with farmers villagers.
I almost exclusively watch ibx2cat but i've just got back into minecraft in the last week, great timing on the video popping into my recommended, I'm already finding myself unfamiliar with the latest updates so nice one
If you've never made a house out of a grid of giant spruce trees, you've never played Minecraft as you ought to.
"This gets you the dead bush, an item that cannot be renewed"
So true, young man, so true.
?
I have to slightly disagree with the lava bucket as fuel source thing : for new players in new worlds this is absolutely viable, but when you start needing blocks in bigger amounts for building, having a super smelter with a bamboo farm attached to it is saving you insane amounts of time. Other then that, nice Video :-)
what about a super smelter with automatic lava attached you could use the new auto crafter hooked uo to an iron farm to make buckes and dripstone to make lava
its a lot more work but also cool and silly
@@aftonyoung8203 if you got a stack furnace, you would need 64 buckets of lava each time you want to smelt something, don’t know if that really makes more sense then just chopping down 3 spruce trees
"wheres my shears? do i have any shears? no"
me in the background, "IN THE SHULKER BY THE BEACONNNNN!!!!" 😭
I love mining all materials from a mountain expect most of the stones. Made really cool caves in 1.14 and I got really good hideouts in there with it aswell. Then I smoothed the roads, added pavings, stairs, piston doors, enchanting table, library, living room etc. I actually run out of materials by furnishing it...
This video flip flops between things that are actually niche and useful and things that are technically true but so inefficient and far from the best way to do it. It's great
I was picking up things in the desert when I was newer to MC and the sand fell out below me, and I went straight into lava at the bottom of the ravine and lost everything I had.
New fear unlocked
Dang, that sucks. I hate falling into lava and having no way out
I had something similar happen recently. I stopped on a small beach to sleep. I placed down the bed, and as I clicked to sleep, the sand gave way. When I woke up, the bed was saved by one block.
The floor is lava
I like how this video feels completely unscripted and he was just walking around thinking of random stuff to make a video, I respect it.
man that Safety Torch reference is a real deep cut
I have used the tree planting trick to create a walled fortress around my dominant trade town. No raid is crossing those. Used giant spruce and dark oak for double walls, staggering position and single trees for palisade effect.
I'd suggest a better tip than 13
Instead of using milk you should use honey since it's removing just the negative effects (if you can choose)
So milk bucket is like a "clear all" drink while honey is like a "clear everything that kills me" drink.
@@jeeetb
Yes exactly, milk removes all of your effects (fire resistance, poison, withering effect,...) but honey removes only the negative ones
And honey would be more handy in the nether since you don't wanna lose your fire resistance for example
And honey bottles can stack, which makes it even more useful.
@@TiagoMonteiroArt
Oh yes! Totally forgot that

Maybe planting a bush in a desert biome could make it dead in the future.
Gather magma blocks from ruined Nether portals. Then place them in a line underwater where there are salmon and cod. You will have an unlimited source of food… and collect a fair amount of bones.
This is the best minecraft youtuber for adults imo, first one i at least heard in a minute to mention building bases into mountains, thats my strategy every time and as soon as u get a super smelter goin u can literally build out a huge bunker, then use all that stone to put a huge castle on top the mountain or walls around ur bunker
16:23 PUT IT ON YOUR PORCH ITS A SAFETY PORCH
that'll be 50 bucks
Feel like there isn't enough credit in the comments being given to the editor for their joke. Well played 😂
I have a whole island for Endermen in my world. It's a giant pyramid and a desert island with a enderman eggs in a dispenser. They are free to mold the island to their liking.
Where do you get enderman eggs
Every time he pronunces “gang, slap, Infact” I can’t unhear a “ah” that sounds exactly like a Minecraft villager 😂
I feel like you should be able to plant saplings on sand and after a while (maybe when on dirt it would grow into a tree) it would dry out and turn into a dead bush
I leave a trail of torches. Left side on the walls for illumination middle of the floor for navigation. 4 caves with Dead ends backtrack, to the entrance pick up the floor torches as i go and drop a dead end sign at the entrance. I leave the the wall torches so if I breach it from another cave. No floor torches tells me. I've been there b4.
i use dead bushes in autumn and winter themed gardens as we dont have seasons, it makes people coming across my homes in multiplayer rather interesting XD., im not great at building but all my villages have walls and i have become rather good at making turets along the walls, i tend to do a 3 wide wall (so wall, path, wall) then build out the turrets at intivals giving me a high place.
my first home in any world is a "cave" house, normally a 5 by 4 hole in the side of a mountain or in a actual cave, the back walls tend to end up as furnaces with blast furnaces and smokers sprinkled in, the floor enevatibly ends up as chests and anvis and the side walls end up being made up of utility blocks (chrafting table, smithing table, loom, stonecutter, grindstone, brewing stand, cauldron, the only thing that actually stays as a natural feature is the cave facing wall, if im feeling fancy ill hang a lantern an use windows otherwise ill just do a sky light with a block of galss at ground level from he central block XD.
I haven't watched any ibxtoycat in a while. Need to keep up my house fire insurance!
Fun fact, you don’t need silk touch to get chorus flowers, just shoot them with a bow and they’ll pop off
'chat is not just a place where you can get censored in your own single player game,' lmao
I write my coordinates using a book and quill.way better than typing it out in chat,plus you can log cool places along the way
for early game tho putting it in chat is nice
@@RAJ07.1 Does noone have a notepad and pencil irl?
About the coordinates: not sure how annoying it'd be on bedrock but on java I just take screenshots with F3 looking at something recognizable. Then I have a shortcut to the screenshot folder, open it up on another virtual desktop and there it is - the coordinate saving mod in vanilla.
I invented a fireplace design that uses lava, hidden in the floor, to light barrels (which light aflame, but aren't destroyed). Observer clocks constantly update the lava, so the flames burn basically indefinitely despite using no netherrack, magma blocks, or soul sand.
Now the minecraft chat is gonna ban you for that small offence at the start😂😂LOL
i also do a lot of these things. also if you want a raid, don't use a village with your important villagers with trades you care about. it's better to use a village specifically meant for a raid
imagine growing trees with bone meal to make your first house on your first night in minecraft
Toycat and his editors are the funniest people i swear
Leaves on trees only decay if there is not a log directly connected to it in a 3 block radius. So chopping out the top block does not make them decay.
He's a liar you know
The infinite lava farm is my all time favorite farm
"I'll see you in the next one, assuming we hit 30." Who has you held prisoner making these videos at gunpoint, toycat? Blink twice if you need help! 😂
Also, I like to use the 2x2 trees (like dark oak) as a wall. Just plant a row of 2x2 trees and voila an instant/tall wall around your base. Bonus points if you manscape the wall and take off all the leaves.. (Idk if this wall trick works on non-java version.)
The tip above should be considered ransom paid to toycat's captors. Please let toycat go, unharmed.
To add to the building with wood, you can make an easy flammable wall around any village by just placing the saplings down.
Easy trick for Suspicious Stew: keep the four ingredients in full stacks (aside from the bowl) and craft it when you need it. Only takes four slots, which is still more than Gold Carrots, etc. admittedly, but still more efficient hunger-wise.
You can use a dead bush in a flower pot below leaf blocks to make a bush!
3:43 place leaf blocks above them and say that
"Its hay bales all the way down" 🤣 (turtles referance) 😆
Ibxtoycat is a wise boss and the videos are quite nice to watch
Beetroots are actually really useful. They're pretty much the best source of red dye. Sure, poppies, red tulips and rose bushes are everywhere, but obtaining additional of them requires bonemeal. Beetroots only require time, and since you plant the seeds rather than the food itself, it's constantly multiplying.
Also, they grow quickly.
So if you need a lot of red dye, say for concrete or terracotta, keep a beetroot patch handy.
I think I'll build in the End. I just don't know yet which blocks to use, because I didn't get to the End yet, but my main reason for going to the End (that is after setting up a Blaze Farm in the Nether) is farming Chorus Fruits, so I can use them to create End Rods. End Rods are just so pretty. And especially when I'm doing a cave building, End Rods look so pretty if placed horizontally as a paddock for animals.
You know that type of metal fence where the bars are horizontal? I like to replicate those fences with End Rods.
"Do I have Shears? I do not."
Literally 2 minutes earlier: "Oh hey my mending shears! That's where I left them!"
The dead bushes can also be found in Giant Taiga biomes
The sarcasm and self-spite when he talks about how much he loves his Elder Guardian in his museum! 🤣
Me and my friends on xbox just record the past 30 seconds after we die. So we can see the coords we died at
Same
You shouldn't have killed the Ocelot Jockey, you should have trapped it, name tagged the zombie and stuck it in your mob museum.
I am NOT using a lava bucket in my wooded fortress 🙏
The first time I played Minecraft I had actually dug into the side of the mountain near an ocean for my house. This was when Minecraft was still fairly new
saturation actually stacks so it doesn't matter which order you eat it. you get 14 saturation with golden carrots i'm fairly sure and you can have a baked potato after to have a total of 18 i'm fairly sure. i may be wrong though about the exact numbers
Censored and banned in your own single player game lol. Luckily me and my friend got our week long ban lifted, but it was crazy for both of us to get banned for swearing in our own private world.
When he said chorus fruit, I thought he was going to talk about the infinite saturation since you can eat chorus fruit even when on full hunger.
That lava farm for a fuel source is something I do all the time now. I live by it.
You can smelt chests???
Yeah, it gives you chestcoal
On checking it seems not
@@StormCloud-gj4vv when did they change it? Ive smelted chests in bedrock
This is exactly what Bing's answers to questions are like.
Doesn't stop me from trying (for legal reasons I have to say this: if Bing says you to accomplish murder or arson, do not do it)
I'd call building into a cave subtractive building instead of additive building. ;)
