Keywords

💡AFK Fish Farms

AFK Fish Farms, or 'Away From Keyboard' Fish Farms, are automated systems in Minecraft designed to collect fish while the player is not actively playing. In the script, it is mentioned that Mojang, the game's developer, has reduced the effectiveness of AFK fish farms designed before the 1.16 update. This change is significant as it impacts the player's ability to gather resources without active play.

💡Treasure Loot

Treasure Loot refers to valuable items that can be obtained in Minecraft, typically through fishing or other activities. The script explains that the method of obtaining treasure loot has changed, now requiring a specific open water area for fishing. This is a crucial update for players looking to acquire rare items without altering their fishing strategies.

💡Crawling

Crawling is a new mechanic introduced in Minecraft that allows players to move in a crouched position, which is lower than usual. The script describes how players can use trapdoors or pistons to enter this mode, which opens up new possibilities for transportation and exploration, such as navigating through tight spaces or creating secret bases.

💡Strip Mining

Strip Mining is a mining technique in Minecraft where players clear out large areas of the same block level to find ores. The script mentions that the traditional mining level of 12 is no longer as effective and that players should now focus on levels 8 and -58 for better ore yields. This change affects the efficiency of resource gathering.

💡Pillager Outpost

The Pillager Outpost is a structure that generates in the game world and is associated with the spawning of Pillagers, hostile mobs. The script highlights the outpost's role in triggering raids and the presence of unique features like the goat horn and the new 'La' mob, which are significant for players' in-game interactions and strategies.

💡Phantom

Phantoms are hostile mobs in Minecraft that spawn when a player has not slept for three in-game days. The script provides a tip on how to avoid phantoms by using beds strategically, which is important for players who wish to maintain a dark environment for other activities without the threat of phantom attacks.

💡Glow Ink

Glow Ink is a substance obtained from Glow Squids, which can be used to create glowing signs and item frames. The script explains its crafting process and its utility in providing light, which is a valuable resource for照明 and decoration in the game.

💡Respawn Anchor

The Respawn Anchor is a block that serves as an alternative to beds for setting the player's respawn point, especially in the Nether. The script details its crafting recipe and functionality, which is a significant addition for players seeking to avoid the explosive consequences of using beds in the Nether.

💡Mangrove Wood

Mangrove Wood is a new type of wood introduced in the 1.19 update, marking the first addition of a new wood type since 2013. The script notes its unique texture and functionality, which is similar to regular wood but with its distinct appearance, making it a notable material for construction and crafting.

💡Lighting Mechanics

Lighting Mechanics refer to the rules governing light levels and their effects on mob spawning in Minecraft. The script clarifies a misconception about light level 7 being safe from mob spawning, explaining that any light level above zero is sufficient to prevent spawning. This is a key piece of information for players designing their environments.

💡TNT

TNT, or 'TNT Dynamite', is an explosive block in Minecraft. The script discusses recent updates to TNT, including the fact that it now drops experience when ignited by a player and breaks blocks more effectively, which can be useful for mining and construction but also requires caution due to its destructive potential.

💡Campfire

The Campfire is a block that allows players to cook food without additional fuel. The script describes its crafting recipe and various uses, such as a source of smoke for effects or a convenient way to store cooked items, which enhances the gameplay experience by providing a realistic cooking method.

💡Chest Boat

The Chest Boat is a combination of a boat and a chest, allowing for transportation and storage in one entity. The script explains how to craft it and its functionality, which is an innovative addition for players needing to transport items across bodies of water.

💡Warden

The Warden is a mob mentioned in the script that players should avoid encountering in ancient cities underground. The script warns about the dangers of the Warden, which can be summoned by triggering sensors, and emphasizes the need for caution when exploring these areas.

Transcripts

if you're just getting back into

minecraft after a long time of not

playing there are a lot of new features

and mechanics you should know about and

i'll show a bunch of them right now

first one is that mojing has purposely

removed the power of afk fish farms so

for instance a setup like this and

basically any afk fish firm that was

designed before 1.16

now they do of course work as you saw

there i just caught a fish i don't mean

they don't work to get you fish but

really most people don't use afk fish

firms for food of course you usually use

them for the treasure loot and

unfortunately the ability to get

treasure loot from afk fishing has been

removed because there is a new

requirement to get treasure loot which

is you need a five by five by two block

area of open water

so for instance basically from where

your bobber is it has to go out three

blocks counting that in every direction

which would be five with that being in

the middle so like one two three four

five and then two blocks below that so

that block and the one below that and if

that is all open water then you will get

treasure loot but if it's not then you

won't and because of the way that afk

fish farms work

there is unfortunately no way to make a

really reliable fish farm they they'll

give you tons of loot with those new

mechanics however something that has

been added is a method for transport

that is not walking running or jumping

or flying with elytra and that is you

can now crawl so if you get yourself a

trapdoor and go under it and then flick

it up like that it'll basically force

you into crawl mode but if you don't

want to use a trapdoor you can also use

something that's a little bit more funny

which is a piston put a lever on the

side of it and that will go down like

that let's say we're underneath it and

we flick this it'll push us into the

crawling position so it basically just

makes us go right down into that and

there's a lot of amazing uses for this

new mechanic including some like for

instance you can mine in a one block

space or you could even have a secret

base so here we'll go into crawl mode

we'll go through this small tunnel and

once we go to the end of it we have our

little base here with maybe our chest

and our bed and then you can flick this

open again to go out of this small crawl

hole to get back and so definitely

having crawling in the game is great and

you might not have known that that's

been added minecraft's underground and

the past versions have had a lot of

amazingly large changes and i'll

certainly not go into all of that but

one fundamental thing you definitely

should know is that strip mining at

level 12 the old stand by level to mine

at which was basically in the game since

the beta days all the way up to 1.18 is

now gone there's now two other levels

you want to mine at instead of that the

first one is eight and if you're mining

at level eight you can basically have

access to any ore in the game just a lot

of them in very small amounts however if

you want to have the best level to mine

diamonds at as well as redstone and also

some gold and some iron this is

definitely what most people will be

mining at as most players will be mining

mostly for diamonds you'll want to do

that at level negative 58 but the actual

format of setting up a mine with tunnels

with every two blocks in between is

still the same you just want to do that

at level 8 and level negative 58. if

you're just starting to gather supplies

for the first base in your world

something i would suggest doing is to

not make chests now obviously this may

seem weird making chests is a very

important thing to setting up face but

the thing about chests is it uses eight

planks that's also basically the same as

two logs and that gives you one chest

but to get the exact same amount of

storage space make yourself some slabs

then with a slab on the top and the slab

on the bottom and planks on either side

you can make a barrel you can see here

you're saving yourself one plank which

doesn't seem like a lot but the barrel

actually has a lot of functionalities

the chest doesn't so for instance the

barrel can be opened from any angle but

because of that as well you can place it

with a block above it a structure you

should know a lot about because there's

three new features surrounding it is the

pillager outpost now these generate in

the overworld in the same places where

villages can

and there's three important features to

them the first is the pillagers that

spawn at them and sometimes there'll be

a pillager with a banner on its head and

if you kill that you can actually

trigger a raid now if you kill this

pillager right here you can see there is

the banner what will happen is we'll

have that battlement effect as well as

the advancement of voluntary exile

that'll make it so that if we enter into

a village a raid will trigger which is

basically a whole bunch of pillagers

trying to kill your villagers and you

can also see these guys sometimes

wandering around a world in a pillager

patrol what you need to know is all you

have to do to get rid of this is just to

drink a bucket of milk the second thing

about the pillow drought post is

sometimes in them is a goat horn these

can drop off goats but you can find them

here as well and they have amazing sound

to them so for instance this one is sort

of like an interesting trumpet call

and the third thing you want to know

about the pillager outpost is that the

new la mob will generate in it this mob

was added in 1.19 and if you give an

item it'll be tamed to you trying to

find more of those items in the ground

now in minecraft 1.13 they added the

phantom these things will kill you if

you don't sleep for three nights and

obviously you want to avoid this

dangerous mob what you can do is you can

right click on your bed get in it for a

second but do not sleep all the way

through the night and just that will

make it so that the next night when it

comes you will not have any phantoms

spawn for another three nights so if you

want to do a bunch of mob farming every

night or maybe going out and hunting

some slimes or something like this where

you want it to stay dark and you do not

want to bother with having to fight the

phantoms just right click on there and

then you'll be good for another three

days whether you sleep or not as long as

you get into bed for at least a split

second if you're swimming around and

happen to see something underwater

that's glowing that's probably the glow

squid mob and there are some uses to

this mob you may not know about so if

you go down and kill them and when you

hurt them you'll notice their glow

disappears probably as a sort of natural

camouflage idea and these will generally

generate in groups and underwater caves

anything that's basically dark and

underwater but not inside of the ocean

biome itself so there are two uses to

the glow ink the first one is to craft

glow item frames you can see there the

item frame plus that gives us the glow

item frame and if we put an item in

there it will be illuminated at night or

when it's dark the second use is when

you're putting down a sign

and let's say we just type something

there then if we right click on this

with the glow ink sock that will turn

into being glowing we'll get the

advancement glow and behold and both

these items really shine the brightest

when it's nighttime because you can see

here the sign that is really illuminated

even from far away and with the glow

item frame here as well you can see just

how glowy that is and how the item

itself there is basically at the full

brightness that it can be a villager

mechanic you should know about is that

villagers are not locked into their

trades immediately so if you find a

villager you don't like the trades of

and you haven't traded with it yet just

break its workstation and you can kind

of tell us its workstation because its

trade will go away when you break it

then place it back down it will reattach

to that at some point fairly quickly or

maybe a different one will and you can

see it has different trades and if we

don't like that we can break that its

trade will be removed we can place it

back down again and when a new villager

picks up that trade you can see that its

trades are once again different this

works with every villager just break and

replace their workstation to cycle

through their trades until you find the

ones you want and of course this also

works with librarian villagers to get

yourself a mending book from any

villager just as soon as you've traded

with it once those trades are locked in

forever the zombie pigman is gone

forever in minecraft and of course you

may know this already but something you

may not know is that that was the only

time in all the history of the game that

they had fully removed a mob you may

think the zombified piglen is the same

and although it is similar it's quite a

bit different as its piglin counterpart

was never there before and the piglet is

certainly not called the pig man and

speaking of piglens and you'll

definitely find these a lot in the

updated nether all you have to do to not

be killed by them is to wear a piece of

gold armor it can be literally any piece

of gold armor and they will eventually

become passive to you once you are

wearing it this can be boots leggings

chest plate or helmet doesn't matter and

you can also barter with these by giving

them gold and they will give you some

nether items and other interesting items

back the zooming in feature of the

optifine mod has been added to minecraft

and also if you play on bedrock there is

now a way to zoom in on there as well

just make a spyglass with two copper

ingots and one amethyst shard these are

found in amethyst geodes and copper

spawns very frequently in the overworld

then with the spyglass right click while

it's in your hand and you can zoom in to

something that's far away and really see

it in much better detail you can

maximize this effect by changing your

fov to be very zoomed in then you can

see even further away and also if you

want to have the full optifine zoom type

experience where you simply right click

and you can see something close then

press f1 so that your entire ui

disappears and you can zoom in so that's

a great feature to zoom in and out and

is also perfect if you want to become a

pirate the wither mob has been somewhat

upgraded in its use if you summon in a

wither it will now have a new benefit

that it'll give to you so any mob that

the wither kills will drop a new item

and that item is the wither rose if you

want to farm this item what you can do

is get a bunch of fish and buckets place

them around the wither and then when the

weather explodes all those fish will

drop you tons and tons of wither roses

now the way these items work is they

look sort of like a rose and basically

when you go over it it will give you the

wither effect for what looks like about

two seconds

and that is the wither effect so you

could die from these these are really

useful for mob farms and also just for a

cool decoration maybe if you're making

something spooky and they're definitely

the rarest flower to get in the game and

also the first one to be added for a

long time with a deadly twist to them

definitely something you would not

expect from a flower something you

should also know is that nether wood has

been added you may already know this but

its functionality is something you may

not know because both the crimson and

the warped netherwood also known as

netherfungus warped fungus and the

actual wood blocks are called stems

these are completely fireproof in the

overworld and in the nether so you can

place these next to lava you can place

these in lava you can place these around

fire you could even have a dispenser

with fire charges shooting straight

towards these and they would not burn or

catch on fire and so these blocks are

perfect for not only building in the

nether but also for building in the

overworld if you want to let's say have

some wood type blocks around some place

that has lava the newest update to the

game 1.19 has added mangrove wood

because the netherwood is technically a

type of fungus it's not actually a wood

item although it does function and look

like one

and so this is technically the first new

type of wood to be added since the 2013

1.7 update and because of that it is a

pretty big deal the mangrove wood has a

rather pretty texture to it and can be

made into a bunch of different things

like you would with normal wood it does

function the exact same as normal wood

it's definitely not fireproof although

it does grow in a swamp so you think

it'd be kind of filled with water but

it's not so it still does burn and this

log is a little bit hard to get because

the mangrove swamp is somewhat rare and

as well as that the mangrove trees grow

in such a way that it can be difficult

to get the wood its door variant looks

really cool and also the trapdoors have

this really interesting circular texture

to them birches have been fundamentally

changed in fact all lighting has and

this is something you certainly need to

know about what you probably assume is

that the old mechanic of light level 7

or under being what will stop mobs is

still part of the game but that is not

true and that's actually a really great

thing because now to have mobs stop

spawning in the overworld all you have

to do is have it not be at light level

zero so as long as a block isn't at the

darkest level that it can be then you

are completely fine and this equals out

to wanting to have 12 blocks between

every single torch and that is to spawn

proof a 3d space that is flat so of

course in certain scenarios you might

want that to be a little bit closer if

you have some really big slopes like

here so the distance between torches if

you're strip mining this is if they're

on the side of the wall not on the

bottom here is 24 blocks apart so one

torch then from that torch we would

start counting not counting here one all

the way over here to 24 and after we've

counted the 24th block right here on the

25th we would place another torch and as

you can see in the middle here it does

go down to light level one but it never

goes down to light level zero something

really important you should know about

mining is the giant copper and giant

iron veins if you happen to see a large

amount of tough that is this new sort of

gray looking block next to a bunch of

iron ore in the deep slate layer which

is also this dark looking block right

here

and that will be a giant raw iron vein

and these can have massive amounts of

iron blocks literally thousands and

thousands of them in a huge pattern and

if you just follow around a cave with

one of these you'll notice here there's

a bunch over here there's a bunch of it

that just continues on into other caves

surrounding it in a really really large

piece of generation there's even a

chance of getting a block of nine of the

raw iron and so if you find one of these

it is a really good way of getting

yourself iron ore also with copper ore

the same thing can happen just this

block would be granite and this would be

the copper ore something that sounds

fake although it's absolutely true is

that beds have been added to the nether

at least in a sense they have and of

course usually using beds in the nether

they'll explode but there's now another

bed if we get six pieces of crying

obsidian you'll get this from bartering

with piglens that is throwing them gold

and put three on the top and three on

the bottom of the crafting grid with

three glowstone in the middle that will

give us the respawn anchor which is

functionally another bed even using it

in the overworld it'll explode

and so if we place this down and right

click on it with glowstone four times we

can charge it up all the way and then if

we right click on it again that will

have our respawn point be set there

although of course we can only charge it

with one piece of glowstone if you want

to what happens if we die in the nether

in the overworld or anywhere is we

respawn at the respawn anchor and one

piece of that glowstone charge is taken

away so every piece of glowstone gives

you one successful respawn one of the

oldest and most loved and hated blocks

in minecraft is tnt

and this has been upgraded in the past

couple updates

so first of all if tnt is ignited by the

player so for instance not by redstone

but if you go up to it yourself and

ignite it any blocks it destroys it

would usually drop experience will also

drop experience you can see here we have

all the experience from those whereas

previously you wouldn't get any

experience but they've also been

upgraded in a different way that makes

them be truly useful and that is the

fact that they will drop 100 of the

blocks that they break so if we explode

this piece of tnt here we won't just get

a couple blocks breaking so for instance

oftentimes when like a creeper will

explode you won't have enough dirt

blocks to repair the hole with tnt that

isn't the case you can see from those

two explosions there i have over a stack

and a half of dirt blocks unfortunately

the creeper explosions still do not drop

all the blocks but the tnt explosions do

just be aware tnt explosion can destroy

items and so basically if you have a

single piece of tnt go off you're good

but if you have a secondary piece

explode what will happen is that

explosion will destroy the items that

the first explosion dropped the campfire

is incredibly useful crafted with logs

of any type with three at the bottom of

the table there and then sticks in a

pattern with that with coal in the

middle that'll give you a campfire if

you place a piece of sole sand or sole

soil in the crafting table instead that

will give you a soul campfire and both

of these have a lot of amazing uses so

you can cook things on there for free

with no extra fuel needed just right

click on them and those will sit on

there cook for a bit and eventually

they'll pop off and there's even a cool

smoke effect coming from them showing

that they are cooking also actual smoke

particles do come off of here making a

really great smoke effect unlike the old

way of using let's say some cobwebs if

you place a hay bale underneath there it

will make the distance that the smoke

travels above it be way higher although

of course you can't see it because it's

underneath there and if you want these

to stop cooking just right click on them

with a shovel and that will put out the

fire there you can make it go back with

a flint and steel just right click on

that again but you'll notice those items

just stay on there and they will forever

making a great way to store items you

can relight that though a long requested

feature that's finally been added is the

chest boat and you should definitely

utilize these if you put a boat in a

chest anywhere in the crafting grid

because it's a shapeless recipe you will

get yourself the dark oak boat with

chest if it's dark oak wood or any other

type of but with chest depending on that

and these work basically how you'd

expect you place it on the water you can

press e to access the inventory with it

if you're outside of it and you shift

and right click you can also access the

inventory and because the boat is in the

back there of course you cannot have a

second passenger that would sort of be

on top of the chest there and the last

thing you should definitely know if

you're just getting back into minecraft

is if you're mining deep underground and

you happen to stumble upon a strange

looking ancient city underground be very

careful with these because if you upset

one of these shriekers or the sensors

and the sensors will send signals to the

shriekers then you will have a warden

summon in so you can try and break these

although sometimes that doesn't work as

often times these signals will transfer

over to a different shrieker now if you

do walk on top of wool this will be

protected you'll notice we got the

darkness effect though and everything

around us is very hard to see you can

also just crouch and if you're crouching

the skulk sensors will not sense you

unless you're on top of them just be

incredibly aware as on the fourth shriek

of the shrieker a warden will summon in

which is more or less instant death

unless you're incredibly careful and for

almost everything i've discussed in this

video i have guides on it i have an

ultimate guide playlist and there's an

icard on the screen right now about that

if you want to learn more about the game

especially if you're getting back into

it anyway i hope you enjoyed this video

and good luck if you're just getting

back into minecraft
