as someone who plays on bedrock, you can actually attach leads to boats. making moving villagers ALOT easier 😌

[Comet_Fox_Zircon]

I'd appreciate if there was a small thing of text in a corner that said "Java" "Bedrock" or "Both" to indicate which version the things work on, mainly cause he says 'just use spectral arrows' like it's a common thing, even though Bedrock doesn't have them, and whenever he talks about a Bedrock trick, he always says that it works on Bedrock, yet never says anything about things that only work on Java.

Edit: I didn’t expect to have a war in the replies- I just wanted to voice my opinion on the fact everyone favors Java when more people play Bedrock

4:25 - fun fact: keep blocking with the shield to block creeper explosions instead of stopping blocking just before the creeper explodes.

I honestly didn’t know you could turn mud into clay, I just thought it was “Renewable clay” because it can make bricks that sort of look similar to clay bricks

For the "looting with any weapon" trick, make sure the looting sword is NOT in your off-hand like it says and shows in the video. This trick only works if the looting sword is in your *main* hand, and the alternative weapon (bow) is in the off hand. Doesn't really work with anything else, since all melee weapons will just use the looting sword in your main hand anyways, and tridents tend to be a little weird in my experience when throwing from your off hand.

In the new update, they actually removed fall damage for entities on leads. So you don't have to worry about mobs that you're flying around with elytra, dying.

[anonymoususer]

For some reason, if you place a carpet on top of a fence, you can jump onto the fence, but mobs still can't. This is an alternative to using trapdoors as fences that conserves some wood, but still has the same functionality.

[MiirioKing]

If you make lingering weakness arrows, use a piercing crossbow, so you'll only need to craft the arrows once, since the piercing allows you to pick up the arrows behind the zombie villager afterwards, saving you a lot of time and resources in the future

22:11 I just carry a book and quill and write down coordinates not only to my house but to other places of interest as well (like a pillager outpost or a huge cave). Much more efficient and doesn't require xp or breaking an anvil. If you're worried about losing it just put it in an ender chest and carry that with you.

[thebaronlouis]

For Ocean Monuments I bring TNT, redstone blocks, and dirt. place the TNT directly against the wall wherever you want to breach, surround it with 4 dirt blocks, then place the redstone block on the last exposed side. It's completely cut off from water so the explosion is technically happening in air. You get the dirt and redstone back usually, and 3 or 4 TNT is a pretty cheap cost to get instant access to the 3 Guardians.

[chaosunison]

For Tip #11, that's why I always keep a stack of ender chests within my ender chest, and then one in my inventory for easy access. Should I place one for long term use over a build, I just go in and pick up another for my 'backpack'. Could save you the risk of losing a whole stack.

[DrewsterRooster]

Most effective trap, make a pit with the walls being stairs faced away from the hole, and a floor of chests, with random floating strings to prevent ender pearls

[coneheadsilly]

fun fact: combine pufferfish sensor with stasis chamber to teleport you to your home when there’s an intruder

[BinglesP]

12:55 I knew you could see water/lava at the right position, but I didn’t know what block height to use. Thank you!

[baalplays]

The creeper-proof waterlogged blocks can be used in a lot more ways. Theoretically, you could build all the floors and walls of your house out of upside-down waterlogged stairs, thereby creeperproofing most of your house. Just tested it in creative, works like a charm!

[JoyOfCreativeService]

I actually discovered an arguably easier solution than that to move my Villagers. I built my house right next to the village, then slept and immediately tore down a few of their houses to make a trading hall out of, while it was day. I then built the trading hall and then moved every bed and workstation in the village to the hall, so they'd HAVE to move once night came. After that, I just replaced the wooden doors to the hall with iron doors and buttons during the night.

[amiigaf]

For number 32:
The villager will only take a new job quickly if it doesnt register an un-used workstation nearby. This includes the barrels of course, so if you are building a villager hall or do this trick make sure every workstation nearby is either taken by a villager or destroyed.

They sometimes look at the workstation they want, makint it easier to figure out

19:50 the problem with this method is that you have to stop what you're doing and stay put.
An advanced version of this method is to throw it diagonally upwards as you sprint jump.
It's a little more skill-intensive and higher-risk but it works instantly and can be chained.

[hikari]

I dunno about 1.19+ but if the sword is on the offhand, looting doesnt apply. The bow needs to be on the offhand for looting to work

[PeChips]

For the 12th tip, the F3 screen doesn't exist on Bedrock, but the biome blend setting doesn't exist either.
