30 Minecraft Things You Should DO MORE OFTEN

Imagine if planting saplings in soul soil turns them into dead bushes to show how soul soil absorbed life in the first place.

That tree tip is unironically so useful when expanding a village. Idk why I never thought of planting a tree where I want the corner columns to go

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.

In tunnels and mines I always place torches on the right hand wall to avoid getting lost in underground mazes.

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.

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.

17:53 You can also light up the bottom of the ocean if you build glass columns from the surface to the ocean floor.

You can use chorus fruit to be a shulker antidote cuz it always makes you tp on a solid block

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 😭

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.

Another useful tip for Lightning Rods Have one outside your Iron or other Villager Farms to prevent them from becoming Witches

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.

2:00 another way to keep your portal coordinates could be to rename a tool/armor that you’ll always have on you to those coordinates

0:58 That is quite risky doing it near a wooden house...

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!!

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.

The best way to never lose coordinates, is to tattoo them.

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
