If there is someone who can talk about netherite that’s the man who made a full netherite beacon on the last Survival Series, always a pleasure to procrastinate from work looking at your vids Pixl.
@@Pixlriffs I think it's already pretty obvious considering you put the version on every video title. It really isn't your fault when people don't even check the release date of the video before calling you out. Stay awesome!
Getting below lava lakes can be done fairly simply by dropping gravity blocks like gravel there to make a column. Then you can just keep placing a ladder on the pillar to make a way down, or encase the shaft entirely with additional gravity blocks. There's a way to NEVER catch fire from the bed explosion. Ofc hiding behind blocks do help (especially if they're more blast resistant like basalt or blackstone/cobble), but if you're standing on a bottom halfslab (made of more resistant block like cobble or nether brick for instance), fire can just never generate there. I'm using this method in my UHC, where taking ANY damage is unwanted. If done properly, you only ever take damage every 2-3 tries. I wouldn't recommend using the bed the second time, I think you expose a much bigger surface if you make another branch elsewhere. 😉
It's also a good idea to carry the material for bed-making in a chest instead of carrying a bunch of beds with you, it's more compact. Also good to put out the fire to see if Debri is hiding below it! Another disadvantage of using TNT over beds is that TNT has a smaller blast radius so it'll expose less potential Ancient Debri with each explosion.
It exposes less per blast, but you can create more blasts per second and don't have to put down 25 fires per bed which slows you down even further. Really the main benefit of beds is their cheapness. They're higher power, but more dangerous, and higher upkeep.
My preference goes to netherite leggings, because the chestplate is occasionally swapped out with Elytra, and the boots are sometimes switched with leather. The helmet loses less stats when switched with gold, so the leggings remain.
And i just atarted searching again in bastions and soon underground becouse i havnt gotten more in a year and i lost my pcikaxe, i only have 3 tools and the og versions only one survived, the rudder I even lost diamond shovels and swords from creepers and lava in the early game
Fun fact , the combination of 3 protection IV pieces + 1 fire protection IV allows you to barely receive any damage from lava, potions of fire resistance will not be needed ( in the case of mining ancient debris) , just make sure you bring enough food to fill up your hunger bar
A little tip which works in bedrock but I'm unsure if it acts the same in Java. The shield can straight block a bed explosion so it's only fire damage from lava and fire sources that is a major danger. Shields are extremely cheap to replace and I find it safer than using a block as a safeguard.
Can confirm, TNT Netherite mining is the most efficient and most fun way to do it. Creeper farms can be made quite simply these days, no complex redstone or tricky layouts required, and sand while sadly not farmable can be easily acquired in larger quantities. Plus, the quartz, gold and blackstone - if you need it for building - are quite valuable byproducts of netherite mining, and even nether rack has its uses. Keep up the good work!
Actually I thought that you would cover Raids this episode since you have given description of Pillagers, Vindicators and Evokers but this episode was more fun than a Raid :)
I would honestly rather do a raid in netherrite armor. Some of the mobs can get very aggressive and it's always a good idea to have the maximum possible protection
I usually swap out my boots for a gold equivalent instead of the helmet. Boots have the frost walker / Depth Strider mutual exclusivity and since frost walker provides resistance to magma blocks golden frost walker boots are nice to have in the nether. Plus with leather now being necessary for powdered snow its nice to just have 1 piece of armor to switch around instead of a max of 4 (frost walker, depth strider, gold, leather). Didn't realize there was a defense difference till you mentioned it though!
Mining Ancient Debris with Netherite Pickaxes is a really nice method too, you can mend your fortune pick along the way with gold and quartz ore, and mend the back up Silk Touch pick with the monsters that spawn in the tunnels you dig

It's always nice to see people who don't buy into the myth of the bed method being some kind of miracle netherite strat. It's good for getting netherite early game(especially if you have some blast protection armour from loot chests lying around) but statistically it's actually worse than just mining in a straight line with a maxed out pickaxe and changing direction anytime you hit a lava or gravel pocket, let alone using tnt, which isn't that expensive if you have a decent gunpowder farm, a good shovel and a desert(or a sand duper for those who don't mind using such devices.)
I've made a spreadsheet using the formula for damage reduction provided by the Minecraft Wiki. With the set of armor Pixl was wearing at the start of the episode (full diamond with 11 levels of Protection), a hit from a Vindicator in Normal mode (13 base damage) deals a total of 2.4 damage, or 1.2 hearts. With the upgrade to Netherite boots, the damage taken will be... 2.35 points, or 1.175 hearts. However, with a full set of Netherite armor, that damage is reduced to 2.21 points, or 1.105 hearts. If these numbers don't seem impressive, that's because they're not. But one has to take into consideration the PvP aspect. Critting with a Sharpness V Netherite Axe has a base strength of 18, a Sharpness V Netherite Sword has 15. That 0.3-0.4 point reduction in damage means a lot in a situation like that. And in singleplayer Survival, that difference can save your life during a raid, and is even more effective if you don't have enchantments at all. Let's also not forget that the armor itself is somewhere along the lines of 10-15% more durable, which means a lot more for armor since the Unbreaking enchantment is far less powerful on armor than on tools. Knockback Resistance is another thing to consider. To my knowledge, +1 knockback resistance in the current version (1.18.1) means that you have a +10% chance to ignore the knockback from an attack. I recall that it is going to change to reducing the distance you are knocked back by 10% in a future version (I think it's from the Combat Test Snapshots that I heard this), but for now it's a chance to nullify knockback. This mechanic is unique to Netherite Armor in vanilla Minecraft, but has been woven into modded armor sets designed to surpass Netherite in their protective strength.
if you face the head of the bed when you click on it, you will take less damage than if you are facing the foot of the bed. You will still need to have a block between you and the bed.
Tip when you go to your mines get a lot of gravel because if you get a terrible spawn in the nether use gravel to make staircase because it is a gravity block (sand or powered concrete will work)
just so folks know, if they're considering using the bed method but you're early on in your survival world & don't have the best gear: you can use the bed method with just a full set of iron armour (without any blast protection enchants, just with fire protection II enchants on average across the four pieces of armour) & plenty of food. The explosion only does 1 heart of damage each time, and it's the fires that the bed explosion causes, and the occasional lava pocket that might take you by surprise, that do the majority of the damage, but nothing that a fire protection potion or just a stack of cooked meat can't stave off :)
I normally use the bed method as in bedrock pe you can dig out 6 blocks from one spot. most debris I have found is 5, maybe it was 2 veins very close to each other. Such a great tutorial Pixlriffs, as always.
Did episode 11 today. Made a map room that the mansion can generate, and used the 0/4 and 1/4 maps in bedrock to get the lay of the land. I am going to also going to do the 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4 maps to see which ones I would prefer.
I think I knew conceptually that the crafting recipe for netherite ingots was shapeless but it had never occurred to me to make it in any arrangement besides the double-L-shape you started with lol. Kinda like how axes and bows can be crafted in any direction in the grid but most people pick one direction and stick with it.
9 years it took for me to mind the right material to build my base anew. Blackstone and it's variants became my top choice along with deepslate. It's something marvellous what I did with those. Never thought it will be so to be honest.
Realizing that the bed method is significantly more viable on Bedrock Edition because there you automatically block while crouching and can still hit 'use' on the bed. On Java because you have to hit 'use' to block with the shield you can't block why trying to use the bed, massively increasing the risk. But on Bedrock using the shield means you don't take any blast damage or durability loss on your armor, making it way more viable, especially since the bed method is very cheap in the early game. I always wondered why a lot of players said the bed method was too risky for them, but now I realize they were probably Java players. It's a pretty consequential parity difference I'm realizing.
Also putting Blast Protection on your mining gear makes the blasts tickle. Bed mining is better on Bedrock because gun powder is harder to get as our creeper farms are less efficient.
@@jacara1981 Very true. I've had a hard time getting a creeper farm to work in my worlds, so when I need gun powder I usually just go creeper hunting every now and then with a looting sword. It's honestly not that bad, it doesn't take that long to get a stockpile, especially if you mainly use it for elytra rockets.
A small note about feather falling; it doesn’t just help with fall damage, but it also helps with suffocation (being inside a solid block) and ender pearl damage (they teleport you on the same trajectory as a snowball, and doing so does a small amount of damage). Really good video pix, love the details you give!
I agree with a lot of what you said. TNT is best but expensive. Chunk ripping works well but takes longer and you'll burn through your pick. Beds are overrated. Also, fire resistance potion is a blessing and saves time when it comes to lava.
my friend told me a way to manually mine for ancient debris. when i first used it, it was very effective. you could try it out for yourself to see how well it works, but basically, you dig a 2x2 tunnel in between 2 chunks in a straight line. this way you would encounter more netherite since it generates in 1 vein per chunk i think, and digging in between would be more effective. found netherite almost instantly when i first tried it
Quick tip; You don't need a flame bow. You can just use a regular bow, set a netherrack block in front of you on fire, and then shoot through the fire at the TNT.
It goes without saying that if you want to find every block of ancient debris in the area where you are mining, you'll need to remove all the material left over from blasting, especially in chunks where blasting alone did not reveal ancient debris. That will leave a completely open and level floor at about level 10 with a ceiling at about level 20 that can be spawn-proofed with slabs. If you have the patience and materials for that, you'll find a few extra blocks of ancient debris, a bunch of additional gold and quartz, and a tremendous amount of netherrack that can be smelted into nether bricks. You can also take advantage of that open space to 'farm' some of the nether mobs, such as ghasts in soul sand valleys, by omitting some of the mob-proofing slabs. It's not the most productive way to get mob drops, but it can work well enough, especially if there's not much open space overhead, until you can build a more efficient farm elsewhere.
If people remember the first season, pix made a huge museum, which had a nether exhibition, he made a fortress and a bastion in the exhibition, and also got displays of waht netherite looked like in all forms,
@Josiah With this mechanic in mind, forget shears, stone, and paper, now we have fist, cactus and netherite! Netherite would break your fist if you punched it, cactus destroys netherite, and fist can break cactus
With bed method we blow 1 bed at a time so if there is a lava lake above u would waste 3wool ,3planks. But if u are doing a tnt chain reaction and if there is a lava lake above then rip
The debate about mining nether gold ore with a Fortune III vs Silk Touch pick comes up a lot, and from what I can tell it's pretty much equivalent. You can get really lucky with Fortune III and have 1 block drop up to 24 nuggets, but on average you'll get 8.8 nuggets per nether gold ore mined. This is slightly less gold than Silk Touch plus smelting, which gives 9 nuggets (or 1 ingot) of gold, but this method also requires fuel and additional time. So just in terms of the gold acquired, you get more with Silk Touch, but it does somewhat depend on what fuel you have available and how much effort is needed to get it.
Since netherite items and ancient debris are fire proof but they are not cactus proof, so netherite items and ancient debris can be destroyed when thrown on cactus, so be careful when near cactus.
My 5 yo is really into Minecraft and whenever he hears me start one of your videos (“hello everyone! My name is pixlriffs!”) he drops everything to watch.
Useful tip: there's usually less lava underground where there's a lava ocean on top. So, the best way to mine for netherite is to start on a shore of a lava ocean and dig underneath it
I think you should explore blast resistance a little bit more. Maybe compare different materials' blast resistance and different explosions' blast strength. Its a bit confusing to beginners when you give a half definition.
If you're using bed method, use a block with a higher blast resistance - like cobblestone. Most of the time it won't even get destroyed and you won't burn at all.
I use the bed method but I always place a blast resistant block like Blackstone in front of me and under me. Also be sure to bring plenty of food and make sure your health and food are full before exploding another bed. I place the beds every 7 blocks. TNT is a great way to mine netherite but it's really expensive.
Thanks! I've developed a better sense of what makes a good thumbnail lately. I'd rather have an in-game screenshot than a rendered scene, even if that's the trend I see elsewhere.
I heard about your YT channel and decided to watch some of your videos. I'm happy to say the tutorials are fantastic. My sad regret, I don't remember where I first heard your name.
Usually when I find blackstone veins, I mine out all the blackstone for chance of finding an ancient debris vein, because nether ore veins tend to generate near or in the blackstone veins. This is just based of my experience and I don't know if it's true.
i allways do the bed method too lazy to gather the sand for tnt plus all my gunpowder goes to firework rockets and once you are used to it it works great
You could always stand on a bottom half slab or a water filler cauldron then click the bed. Fire won't start on the bottom half nor the water filled cauldron (If it can start on a empty one?).
Today I learnt that netherite equipment is indestructible unless it despawns of course. Also I believe that placing a higher blast resistance blocks such as cobble or even obsidian between the player and the bed should make the process bit safer but I personally prefer the TNT method as well. Great video as always. Thx pix
Netherite items (dropped on the ground) can still be destroyed by explosions, cactus, or throwing them into the void! The only thing they're immune to is damage from fire or lava. You should still protect them well, since there isn't a renewable way of getting Netherite!
Thank you for answers to my premature comment. Kinda forgotten about few ways how to brake these. And yes it super weird that it brakes on cactus. Also as someone else mentioned below funny enough you can smelt the debris in furnace yet they are resistant to fire and lava.
@@Pixlriffs Just would like to say that I am so glad I decided to play skyblock years ago and luckily came across your 1.15 skyblock guide which ultimately took me to the survival guide season 1. Everything I know about this game I have learned from you and despite playing on Xbox for last year still trying to apply tricks and tips in my bedrock worlds.
I recently tried to get some netherite.. but gunpowder is very scarce... It would really help if you can show a gunpowder farm from creepers. Thanks for all the entertaining years btw..🥰
@@timohara7717 no no.. not creeper but gunpowder drop is very low from creeper, like about 1-2 only. I also tried staying up at night to kill some and get the gunpowder like that but I could only collect 10-12 gunpowder average. So that's why I wanted a creeper... At least you'd get only gunpowder in the first place and as an added bonus xp farm also... It'd be nice to have one.
Before you left for the Nether you had an enchanted golden helmet in your chest at the doorway in your house, versus the unenchanted one you actually wore into the Nether.
Hmmmmm Does the title animation of title guide change cuz it like you? I know this doesn't make sense:Sd Edit: My question is idk why but my netherite tools are not breaking blocks in the same speed as they used too is this a bug ?
I've never seen a neat netherrack strip mine before. It's always "pickaxe goes brrrrr" instead :D Hovering over a shovel as a first upgrade was the most suspenseful moment of the series so far, hahahaha. And your staircase is still missing that one last step, I can't help but notice it everytime :(
I think the piglins should accept you as a non hostile if you are wearing full netherite. It's made from gold, and they obviously value it because it can found in their houses.
i found this channel recently and ive been binging your videos since then. im a long time player and i always learn something from you. its insane. youre like a walking encyclopedia for minecraft
Obviously the guy who actually mined enough debris to get a netherite beacon knows better than I do, but I've always preferred just going down with a couple of picks and mining for the debris. Do the branch, then mine out all the blocks at face height on the sides, then keep going. But that's not about finding all the debris, mostly just the fact that it's the fastest way to just clear some blocks in a large area. I also really like that method because I can get all the quartz and gold ores as I go and probably even a couple of boxes of gravel if I feel like digging that out.
To each their own! Pickaxe is definitely the most straightforward way. TNT is expensive and requires the most travel time. I just think it gets a better 'hit rate' than standard mining does.

But on Bedrock using the shield means you don't take any blast damage or durability loss on your armor, making it way more viable, especially since the bed method is very cheap in the early game. I always wondered why a lot of players said the bed method was too risky for them, but now I realize they were probably Java players. It's a pretty consequential parity difference I'm realizing.
Also putting Blast Protection on your mining gear makes the blasts tickle.
Bed mining is better on Bedrock because gun powder is harder to get as our creeper farms are less efficient.
@@jacara1981 Very true. I've had a hard time getting a creeper farm to work in my worlds, so when I need gun powder I usually just go creeper hunting every now and then with a looting sword. It's honestly not that bad, it doesn't take that long to get a stockpile, especially if you mainly use it for elytra rockets.
The week begins and we're already dealing with netherite?! Wow!
I feel a creeper farm episode coming up xD
A small note about feather falling; it doesn’t just help with fall damage, but it also helps with suffocation (being inside a solid block) and ender pearl damage (they teleport you on the same trajectory as a snowball, and doing so does a small amount of damage). Really good video pix, love the details you give!
How would feather falling help with suffucating wouldnt aqua affinity help instead?
I agree with a lot of what you said. TNT is best but expensive. Chunk ripping works well but takes longer and you'll burn through your pick. Beds are overrated. Also, fire resistance potion is a blessing and saves time when it comes to lava.
my friend told me a way to manually mine for ancient debris. when i first used it, it was very effective. you could try it out for yourself to see how well it works, but basically, you dig a 2x2 tunnel in between 2 chunks in a straight line. this way you would encounter more netherite since it generates in 1 vein per chunk i think, and digging in between would be more effective. found netherite almost instantly when i first tried it
To get around silk touch picks i just hold them in my offhand and use my non silk touch pick to mine. Same thing i do at a xp farm to repair tools.
Quick tip; You don't need a flame bow. You can just use a regular bow, set a netherrack block in front of you on fire, and then shoot through the fire at the TNT.
Ty for always making mention of how the game mechanics differ in Bedrock!
He forgot toughness doesnt exist on bedrock
It goes without saying that if you want to find every block of ancient debris in the area where you are mining, you'll need to remove all the material left over from blasting, especially in chunks where blasting alone did not reveal ancient debris. That will leave a completely open and level floor at about level 10 with a ceiling at about level 20 that can be spawn-proofed with slabs. If you have the patience and materials for that, you'll find a few extra blocks of ancient debris, a bunch of additional gold and quartz, and a tremendous amount of netherrack that can be smelted into nether bricks. You can also take advantage of that open space to 'farm' some of the nether mobs, such as ghasts in soul sand valleys, by omitting some of the mob-proofing slabs. It's not the most productive way to get mob drops, but it can work well enough, especially if there's not much open space overhead, until you can build a more efficient farm elsewhere.
Even knowing netherite is immune to fire, I still got a minor panic attack seeing you throw them into fire.
An advantage to the bed method is that if a mob (like a piglin) takes damage from it, it doesn't count as player damage, so piglins won't aggro
If people remember the first season, pix made a huge museum, which had a nether exhibition, he made a fortress and a bastion in the exhibition, and also got displays of waht netherite looked like in all forms,
I think that after 2 years I finally have the urge to ask what does "My name has been Pixlriffs" mean sir like it's your catch line sort of
Please remember, a cactus can still destroy netherite items
not only netherite but also you can be destroyed by standing on it
@Josiah With this mechanic in mind, forget shears, stone, and paper, now we have fist, cactus and netherite!
Netherite would break your fist if you punched it, cactus destroys netherite, and fist can break cactus
Lets go another pix vid. I starting to watch UA-cam again and this man is still teaching me after all this time.
Ooh love the gray logo in the intro
Is the creeper farm coming up soon? We are getting close to needing a lot of gun powder :)
you are right
With bed method we blow 1 bed at a time so if there is a lava lake above u would waste 3wool ,3planks. But if u are doing a tnt chain reaction and if there is a lava lake above then rip
The debate about mining nether gold ore with a Fortune III vs Silk Touch pick comes up a lot, and from what I can tell it's pretty much equivalent. You can get really lucky with Fortune III and have 1 block drop up to 24 nuggets, but on average you'll get 8.8 nuggets per nether gold ore mined. This is slightly less gold than Silk Touch plus smelting, which gives 9 nuggets (or 1 ingot) of gold, but this method also requires fuel and additional time. So just in terms of the gold acquired, you get more with Silk Touch, but it does somewhat depend on what fuel you have available and how much effort is needed to get it.
I’ve always thought netherite should count as gold to piglins when worn as it contains gold just a thought
Thats too op as netherite is easy to get either from bastions or any level
@@timohara7717 And gold is rarer?
Since netherite items and ancient debris are fire proof but they are not cactus proof, so netherite items and ancient debris can be destroyed when thrown on cactus, so be careful when near cactus.
I love the bed method. Cheap and fun.
My 5 yo is really into Minecraft and whenever he hears me start one of your videos (“hello everyone! My name is pixlriffs!”) he drops everything to watch.
Useful tip: there's usually less lava underground where there's a lava ocean on top. So, the best way to mine for netherite is to start on a shore of a lava ocean and dig underneath it
I think you should explore blast resistance a little bit more. Maybe compare different materials' blast resistance and different explosions' blast strength. Its a bit confusing to beginners when you give a half definition.
If you're using bed method, use a block with a higher blast resistance - like cobblestone. Most of the time it won't even get destroyed and you won't burn at all.
Yeah but now you have to carry and place a block each time
@@jacara1981 I usually bring a stack of cobblestones.
I use the bed method but I always place a blast resistant block like Blackstone in front of me and under me. Also be sure to bring plenty of food and make sure your health and food are full before exploding another bed. I place the beds every 7 blocks. TNT is a great way to mine netherite but it's really expensive.
Not Pixlriffs realizing that he hasn’t gone over strip mining in the overworld yet😂
You probably don’t get this much, but I love your thumbnails
Thanks! I've developed a better sense of what makes a good thumbnail lately. I'd rather have an in-game screenshot than a rendered scene, even if that's the trend I see elsewhere.
@@Pixlriffs both valid styles. Also what th3pooka does is just pure awesomeness. :)
Great Video as always Pixl, I do hope one day we can get a memorial for our lost brothers (Death by Drowning Villagers) in future:)
Happy Monday!
I heard about your YT channel and decided to watch some of your videos. I'm happy to say the tutorials are fantastic. My sad regret, I don't remember where I first heard your name.
Usually when I find blackstone veins, I mine out all the blackstone for chance of finding an ancient debris vein, because nether ore veins tend to generate near or in the blackstone veins. This is just based of my experience and I don't know if it's true.
I always thought armor toughness meant that the armor took less durability damage. Thanks Pix
Bro Ur videos make my day
Bed technique is the best (and most fun!)
We have very different ideas of fun
@@Pixlriffs Watchin gnembons tutorial again...there is more to it than you've covered...love the video...though. And daily content...wow!!
Love the color changing the title :)
Soul sand is what fakes me out when trying to get ancient debris while glow lichen is what fakes me out when I'm looking for diamonds.
Hey Pix, I know it has nothing to do with this video but I wanted to say again GG for yesterdays Clash of the creators victory :D
It was awesome! I'll post the VOD on PixlVODs later today.
i allways do the bed method too lazy to gather the sand for tnt plus all my gunpowder goes to firework rockets and once you are used to it it works great
i remember the update and getting up during my summer break hoping on my friends sever and both got full netherite
Tool and Armour preference for my self is iron [enchanting glow looks better on iron imo]... also long time no see pix
You could always stand on a bottom half slab or a water filler cauldron then click the bed. Fire won't start on the bottom half nor the water filled cauldron (If it can start on a empty one?).
You should enchant the gold helmet with protection 4 and unbreaking 3 then add mending to it as your permanent nether helmet
I'm sure he knew that + theres no point of that unless ur exploring
Toughness is java exclusive but i dont think kickback resistance is
Pix shows us how to mine for ancient debris by blowing up beds and setting himself on fire. 🤣
Hello sir.. Enjoying your second season soo much🤗🤗
Today I learnt that netherite equipment is indestructible unless it despawns of course. Also I believe that placing a higher blast resistance blocks such as cobble or even obsidian between the player and the bed should make the process bit safer but I personally prefer the TNT method as well. Great video as always. Thx pix
Netherite items (dropped on the ground) can still be destroyed by explosions, cactus, or throwing them into the void! The only thing they're immune to is damage from fire or lava. You should still protect them well, since there isn't a renewable way of getting Netherite!
Except cactus….don’t throw netherite gear into a cactus. Such a weird thing…..doesn’t burn in lava but a cactus kills it….smh
Thank you for answers to my premature comment. Kinda forgotten about few ways how to brake these. And yes it super weird that it brakes on cactus. Also as someone else mentioned below funny enough you can smelt the debris in furnace yet they are resistant to fire and lava.
@@Pixlriffs Just would like to say that I am so glad I decided to play skyblock years ago and luckily came across your 1.15 skyblock guide which ultimately took me to the survival guide season 1. Everything I know about this game I have learned from you and despite playing on Xbox for last year still trying to apply tricks and tips in my bedrock worlds.
TNT tunnel mining to me is still the best method. Its expensive, but it works the best. Still bed bombing does clear out much more area.
I usually use obsidian and a splash potion of fire resistance for 8 minutes in case lava flows directly down to me.
I recently tried to get some netherite.. but gunpowder is very scarce... It would really help if you can show a gunpowder farm from creepers. Thanks for all the entertaining years btw..🥰
Or ghast farm but if creepers are scarce then you cant make the farm work in the first place
@@timohara7717 no no.. not creeper but gunpowder drop is very low from creeper, like about 1-2 only. I also tried staying up at night to kill some and get the gunpowder like that but I could only collect 10-12 gunpowder average. So that's why I wanted a creeper... At least you'd get only gunpowder in the first place and as an added bonus xp farm also... It'd be nice to have one.
Stay safe out there. ❤️
Pix never disappoints me
You seen the blue sparkles that point towards ancient debris
Before you left for the Nether you had an enchanted golden helmet in your chest at the doorway in your house, versus the unenchanted one you actually wore into the Nether.
All it has is Unbreaking II, I think I got it from a zombie. Not the biggest deal tbh
Be careful using tnt around piglins and the zombie kind... buttons can be a better way to go so as not to aggro them
Hmmmmm Does the title animation of title guide change cuz it like you?
I know this doesn't make sense:Sd
Edit: My question is idk why but my netherite tools are not breaking blocks in the same speed as they used too is this a bug ?
I've never seen a neat netherrack strip mine before. It's always "pickaxe goes brrrrr" instead :D
Hovering over a shovel as a first upgrade was the most suspenseful moment of the series so far, hahahaha.
And your staircase is still missing that one last step, I can't help but notice it everytime :(
I think the piglins should accept you as a non hostile if you are wearing full netherite. It's made from gold, and they obviously value it because it can found in their houses.
i found this channel recently and ive been binging your videos since then. im a long time player and i always learn something from you. its insane. youre like a walking encyclopedia for minecraft
i get my notebook and write all the tasks to do then i go do these in my world. (following every episode so far! in my world)
Man ur voice.... I've played Minecraft for years now but still i watch ur videos just because of that voice
I don't know if it's a bedrock thing, but I mostly find ancient debris around black stone pockets.
Its a you thing
I have been waiting for this
Obviously the guy who actually mined enough debris to get a netherite beacon knows better than I do, but I've always preferred just going down with a couple of picks and mining for the debris. Do the branch, then mine out all the blocks at face height on the sides, then keep going. But that's not about finding all the debris, mostly just the fact that it's the fastest way to just clear some blocks in a large area. I also really like that method because I can get all the quartz and gold ores as I go and probably even a couple of boxes of gravel if I feel like digging that out.
To each their own! Pickaxe is definitely the most straightforward way. TNT is expensive and requires the most travel time. I just think it gets a better 'hit rate' than standard mining does.
So quickly? Yes sir!
