Dear SkipTheTutorial, when you expand your base ceiling to 3 blocks tall, you remove that enderman proof to your base.

actually, sprint jumping is more effective in 2 block high spaces because you hit the ground faster and can jump sooner.
It drains your food like crazy, but it's essential for nether tunnels that don't utilize ice roads, imo

I agree with the fact that 2 block tall ceilings arent good
but not because they dont allow you to move around, because technically head hitters are faster than sprint jumps
but more because they just dont look nice and feel like a cramped space

5:47 He makes a reference to a book called “The Tell Tale Heart” in this book, a man has a blue eye that annoys the narrator so much that the narrator kills the man and stuffs him in the floorboards. He makes this reference while talking about bees being tenants in your floors.

Okay. Big terraforming projects cannot always be solid. My tip is to do a layer underneath the dirt with stone. Helps if a creeper blows up and no one will accidentally fall through.

[garrysucks]

Y'know, for the hollow hills one, you could just double down and make a basement or an underground area to fill it out. Make the hollow hill actually have a purpose.

[wheatyes]

I agree with all of these except for filling hills. It's a pain I don't want to go through

[tylerkovalskas]

until a recent build, i used copper with blocks that fit with orange and fully oxidized copper because I never waxed copper before that point. if you let it oxidize, it helps to visualize your build and build pallet next to the oxidized copper, so you know if you want to change the pallet or wax your copper first.

Pro tip with all of the pressure plate points in the video: if you have access to worldedit or op/Debug Stick you can set the pressure plate to "powered" mode and that will prevent it from activating if someone steps on it. Also works on buttons.

The debug stick can also make sign/fence combos look more connected as you can force the fence to connect to a specific side.

3:21 bro i just got memories of when 1.13 christmas and i made a house that looks goofy ahh and it had a christmas tree and a hottub but it got corrupted

[unlimitedduckgamer]

It would be a waste of materials just to fill in an entire hollow hill. What you should do when terraforming is double stack the blocks when building up the layers, like how Fwhip does it when he builds a hill, rather then filling in the entire terraformed hill. It saves on resources(and gathering) while making it so breaking one block doesn't just make you fall right into the hill.

I always make my builds 4 blocks tall because I don’t like hitting my head when I jump. I also gives you more decor space and looks nicer and general!

[IBF]

One of the lessons are "always light up ur builds from the top to the bottom" and use a variety of blocks

[pedrotrad]

1:16 actually EVERY block (it's like one pixel away from the block it is on) and it really irritates you when you notice it.

[idioticbagel]

9:40 I strongly disagree. Obviously for that specific house it’s hideous but if you have a modern design it can actually make it look nice and sleek. In my opinion at least. Great job on another video man.

[ChromAqui]

Corners windows can be actually a thing, but it depends on the type of build you are, well.. building! I know that in most of them, it looks off. But some modern or futuristic architectures can some times have it without looking weird.

It always depends on which is the structure you're relying on your build.

1:11 just wait until the 1.20 new signs

[glaxii]

For the table I prefer trapdoors because it really helps making it look like your legs can actually fit under it
