My favorite tip my friend gave me when I started: When caving, always place torches on the left. Then when you go to leave, if the torches are on the right, you are going to 'right' way to get out.

Me: *uses barrels*

The villager on my house: and I took that profession.

You can use barrels, unless you want to have a villager farm nearby, in which case you will be VERY frustrated that all your villagers turn into fishermen.

It isn't just a bow. It is an enchanted bow where you had to also put in the effort to get those enchants, and the levels to apply them.
Conversely, arrows are cheap, especially with a fletcher or a mob farm.
So mending can be much better than infinity.
It also means you can use other arrows without worrying about wasting them.

I'll never understand people who craft the entire wooden weapons set when starting a new world

just make a wooden pickaxe, mine some stone and wham, you've saved 30 minutes lol

“Clicking things with your axe? Don’t hold your axe!”

Why haven’t I thought of that? Wow!

For anyone that is enchanting (I believe this still works) when you enchant something in an anvil, always rename it at the same time Because it makes it so it will never be "Too Expensive"

as for the chests vs barrels ones, I prefer chests for certain things because two can merge to one and provide better organization

“If you keep stripping the logs on your doorway, just don’t carry an axe in your hand!!!”
I never would’ve figured that out guys

In Bedrock, Barrels are more efficient to make instead of Chests because they only require 2 wooden slabs and 6 sticks. I like them because of their smaller inventory space which keeps early game easy to organize and move around. If possible, I hold onto my wooden pick axe and it is usually the ONLY wooden item I need to make in a new world. Then I frame it. It is the equivalent of framing your first dollar your business ever made. I always place torches on the left wall so when I need to follow them to get out of a cave, I know I am on the "right" track. Some people still do not realize that the stone cutter is a 1:1 output or in the case of slabs 1:2. I just wish we could use it as a wood cutter too.

#13:
Alternatively, make the toolkit a part of the build. I’ve built two floating-island-type bases now, both of which had a simple ship moored next to them. Seems like nice decoration at first glance, but I actually built that ship first, using it as a self-sustaining jumping-off point for the larger build.

I feel like this guy is the Five Minute Crafts of Minecraft

[boatzedit]

It is used for Smelting as Slabs for Smelting as one Wood Log gives 4 Planks and 3 Planks gives 6 Slabs and 1 Wooden Plank.

As someone who's been playing since before the stone cutter, it definitely feels "silly" or "primitive" to use that over an easier-to-obtain crafting table but I guess in the long run it's definitely more efficient.

creeper holes are a pain; for sure, only use one layer of dirt though, use cobble below that, so if they blow the same spot again, it's far less damage to clean up going forward.

"Do you hate missing clicks with the axe and carving all the wood into fine shaped wood? Well just don't hold the axe in your hand anymore."

mending > infinity
considering your infinity bow is fully enchanted with power v, flame, and more, using mending to save that bow is worth a few arrows. especially if you have an arrow farm
yes, you can fix your infinity bow in an anvil, but if we're looking long term here, it will get more and more expensive every time you fix it, and will eventually be too expensive to fix
