Minecraft, But I Can't Leave This Chunk (#1)

Today I played minecraft, but I can't leave this chunk. This journey starts in this very first chunk, but as the series continues the world border will slowly grow and unlock more of the world. This is day 1 of this new series, meaning this is Minecraft, but there's only ONE CHUNK!

I AM NOT RUNNING ANY GIVE AWAYS! BEWARE there are scammers in the comments impersonating me… THEY ARE NOT ME! REPORT THE ACCOUNTS AND DO NOT RESPOND!

[kingconrad]

2 things:
1: this sounds like a great series
2: first thought is to mine the whole chunk as quick as possible

[Breadknees_]

Wadzee just wanted to let you know that you can in fact grow crops without water, as long as you plant them as fast as possible so the tilled dirt doesn’t turn back into dirt obvs, the crop will just grow very slowly.

[Neobjects]

“Getting flowers may be a long-term goal.”
Bonemeal: Are you sure about that?

[samschellhase]

pretty sure you SHOULDN'T break the cauldrons, any water amount that they could have saved (even if not visible) will be lost when you break them. just leave them be, and eventually they'll fill up!
and you can still grow crops without water, they just won't be as fast

[bluethekingTDM]

You can still be able to harvest crops with or without water. You only need to till the dirt and plant the seed before it reverts back into dirt. And growing crops without water is a lot slower compared to with water.

[destinygalearies]

I don't blame Wadzee for thinking he couldn't grow without water, because if you're one of the Minecraft OG's from when the game first came out you'll remember that tilled land actually used to break and become regular dirt if you did it anywhere without water.

CallMeKevin has done a great series of this already in lots of different biomes, its great to see its spreading to other people i watch! Its interesting to see how differently you handle it, being a pro.

[joeyakathug]

Imagine being so good that you need to limit yourself to several chunks

[kareem]

This reminds me of a map back in the day called 'Captive Minecraft'
Watching lets plays of this map is what made me love playing survival

I got attached to the idea of how progression felt 'level-based' in a way and you needed to be resourceful and manage your resources more efficiently

[mac]

When you do get a water source, you can make a fishing pole with your string and fish while your crops grow. You get more food, and you might get a bottle of water. Three bottles from your original source in a cauldron makes a second source, which then sets you up for infinite water.

[DragoserakerIT]

wait, you were trying to have a source of food with water, however you could have made a compost barrel and used the bones you collected to grow crops.

[Krixwell]

"I have the ability to DIE."
You might just need that when you get to the episode(s) where the border is about 2x2 or 3x3 chunks. One chunk is way easier than 2x2 or 3x3 because at least at 1x1 nothing bad can spawn at the same height you're at so you have to go up or down to run into the insane mob hordes.

[sllimjimsinkhole]

I was so in love with CallMeKevin's series with this challenge, I look forward to how you handle it!

[TooHighRecords]

this man still hasn't played melon smp yet lol

[ploopydiper]

As someone with zero sense of direction that gets lost embarrassingly easily, this challenge is very intriguing

[_GaroTL]

CallMeKevins version was very entertaining, can't wait to watch the entire series :D

[barney]

The bee shall be called Bizzy because he's always looking for something to do in so limited chunks

[Edamame]

So happy you are trying a new series! Was feeling that you were getting tired of the old one, nice to see you excited about playing minecraft

[Xendrasch]

You can grow crops on farmland, without water. Even in the nether. So wasting your very limited amount of iron on cauldrons, was a really bad move. And not farming food, was a even bigger mistake.

The only limitations on farming without water, are two:
1. Some crops go through the growth stages slower, on dry farmland, than on hydrated farmland.

2. When you harvest your crops, and don't plant a new seedling fast enough, contrary to hydrated farmland, the dry farmland might randomly revert back to dirt, and needs to be tilled again.
Since dry farmland randomly reverts back to dirt from dryness, only if there is NO seed planted in it, you can easily avoid this, by replanting quickly. That also means, that you never will loose a seed or crop, when farming without water, since with a seed planted, farmland stays farmland forever. And even when a block reverts to dirt between harvest an replanting, that is no problem, since hoes for tilling don't use much resources and wood hoes are completely renewable. That also means, that melon and pumpkins farms, have no problem with that at all, since the plant stays in the farmland, if you harvest the fruit.

Farmland reverting to dirt from jumping on it, vertically moving it with a piston, or when a block ends up on it, is no different for dry or hydrated farmland.

Also farmland gets hydrated, when it rains, so crops will grow faster during and a while after it rains. So replanting a non-irrigated big field, might be a bit easier during rain.

On past minecraft versions, I have done farming without water, countless times in the nether and also occasionly in the end and overworld and never had a problem with it. So I'm pretty sure, about what I wrote above. If they didn't change something in a newer minecraft version, that should still work, as described above. And as far as I am aware, there was nothing changed around farmland, for several minecraft versions.


Also on another note: In case you eat rotten flesh, it is better to collect enough of them to fill your hunger bar completely, before you eat them. Otherwise, you loose a unnecessarily high amount of hunger bar from the hunger effect, that you get in 80% of the cases of eating rotten flesh. Since the hunger effect, does not stack, you get much more hunger bar and invisible saturation bar fill-up from your rotten flesh, if you eat all at once. Since health regen is determined by saturation, you also get far more health back, that way.
