TIP 3.5: If you shear a sheep's death animation you get 1 extra wool block. 1 from it dying and 1-3 wool from shearing it.

@@FrostPocketGaming I use shears to kill them so I don't have to switch quickly to them once i kill them. Sheep take 5 hits to kill with shears (same as fists). However, if you're attacking from an elevation difference, from water, or if the sheep has already taken some damage, the count can be different. I recommend making sure you're attacking from the same y-level, and that the sheep is close to you and isn't jumping when you deliver the death blow. It's also good to keep in mind that the sheep's hitbox doesn't fall over with the death animation. I usually try to shear the sheep very quickly after I kill it, so it doesn't have time to get knocked away. Also worth noting that you can dye a sheep before you shear it, which means you can use dyes more efficiently (average of 4 wool per dye!). I have flower, cactus, and skeleton farms for dyes as well as a spider farm for wool, but I still use this method for colors that require lapis or ink sacs.

I can understand what you mean about the duping feeling too 'cheaty', but I feel that using it for builds that require large amounts of glass is fair game. It's certainly preferable to stripping your beaches and deserts of all their sand and making them look ugly as sin.

@FrostPocketGaming

6 ай бұрын

yeah i can understand the arguments for duping and I dont shun people for doing it. Gravel is what i'd use it for most however and you can get gravel underground so it doesnt destroy landscape. Perhaps i'd dupe sand if i needed a huge amount of glass for something.

I don't know if this tip still applies since this is a loose memory from 2009 or 2010 but you used to be able to light a log or netherrack on fire and animals would spawn around it during the night time since it had light, and they would walk into the fire and die and give you free cooked food. I remember being quite proud of this discovery as a kid.

After rewatching the video, there are a few things that could probably do with a bit of clarifying. 4:50. A sword breaks ALL blocks 1.5x faster than your fists do. Things like stairs, crafting tables and ladders that don't break any faster when using a tool are therefore faster to break with a sword. 7:13. Diamonds are most frequent between y=5 and y=16, therefore anywhere between these values is optimal. Mining at y=12 exposes blocks above you but it still might technically be slightly less optimal because veins above you could in theory spawn less frequently due to being above y=16. I believe y=10 gives you the most diamonds for distance travelled but then you'd have to deal with annoying lava pools so I don't think its really worth it. I can usually get about half a stack of diamonds per hour of mining at y=12 and its far more convenient. 8:41. Birch trees are technically optimal to farm if you need planks since they don't grow branches and they have more logs per tree on average, I pretty much only farm oak since i use the logs in builds mostly.

@Tepiloxtl

6 ай бұрын

What I have personally learned back in the day is to mine for diamonds at y11, though it's an interesting question if diamond ores spawn less the closer to y16 you are?

It's SO refreshing to see this kind of video if a little nostalgic. Ty for making this 🙏

I'm playing in infdev right now, and that click mining trick helps a lot since I've been doing a lot of digging. Nice video!

Fantastic vid, a little difficult to find vids about the quirks of this version. Glad you dropped this one❤

I've been playing a lot of Beta 1.7.3 and never knew about some of those tricks! Especially the click mining and the farmland fence trick are super nice! Thanks for sharing :)

Very useful, I knew about some of these as an avid beta player myself but it's cool to see them compiled so well in this neat video.

Thank you, I've been getting into beta recently and these are very useful!

I always thought that I was crazy when I discovered the sword thing myself xD great tutorial!

Genuinely so helpful. My friends and I started a beta server for the 5 of us, and this will definitely come in handy :)

man watching these tips brings me back to my childhood discovering all of these things for myself purely by experimentation. i remember accidentally using my sword to mine something and noticing it being faster and then seeing exactly what that applied to. i remember wondering what would happen to gravel/sand if i picked it up off the ground with a sticky piston and then finding it fascinating that it just falls down again (i was a kid lol) so i spammed the lever and got infinite sand/gravel. i remember stip mining coming to me in an epiphany in maths class (i think from whatever we were doing with shapes in geometry that day). i remember doing the mining trick where you click every time to save time (i think they should bring that back btw), i never encountered the nightmare feature because i would always either sleep in my bed at my base or dig myself a cubby in the side of a hill or cave if i was exploring, but cool to know it was a thing. this video brought back a PLETHORA of memories and hours and hours of gameplay i had forgotten about. i remember what my first bases looked like, i remember that wonderous feeling of playing minecraft without knowing what was what and slowly discovering everything for myself. this video brought me almost to tears. thank you

Thank you for making this fabulous video! I love your style of making tutorials

I haven't played Beta ever. This vid just got recommended to me. Still a really entertaining video, thanks for the effort, cheers

Thanks for these tips I just started to play Minecraft beta 1.7.3 today its fun being back in old beta. these tips are very helpful!

Always have a water bucket on a accessible slot which you don't need to scroll to because it can save you from a lava pool and don't mine at y-13 because if you fall, you may not be able to get back again and leave after you have no food and at 3 hearts or lower because a mob or lava pool can easily kill you.

just started a new beta 1.7.3 playthrough recently. that farmland trick will be useful lol. Thanks for the tips!

In alpha, if you put fences under stairs, they were unusable because their hit box pokes above that of stairs (the same reason it works with tilled soil here). I liked it a lot for making fake staircases for PVP defense, as you can't even jump up them.

I have a Beta 1.8 world and have two things to add on to the mining tips, assuming they aren't here already. 1.) Swapping the sword to something else last moment will save the durability. 2.) Mining at the very edge of your reach distance is faster with timing clicks. I don't know the speed difference, but it can instant mine dirt, sand, and gravel.

6:47: strangely enough, i was doing exactly this yesterday and ended up finding a really big cave. Got out with 15 diamonds and i am convinced that there's still more. That was my second day in that world

Really nice world dude. I play beta too, I usually play 1.5 (I had picked that version when I was younger cuz 5 is my favourite number). I dont like tall grass and the new cobblestone texture in 1.7.3 though... Thats why I havent changed yet. Can you make a video showing us your world? Some of the buildings I saw are quite impressive.

We can dupe everything with nether portal and crafting table and water. i don't know if it's work on multiplayer

im pretty sure the “click mining” trick still applies in modern versions? one thing to add is it’s more worthwhile the faster the block would be mined. like if ur mining coal w a wooden pick, saving .25 sec per block isnt a huge deal. but if ur digging sand with a diamond shovel, .25 sec per block is very significant

Love it! I’ve been getting into Betacraft recently and I love seeing all of these videos from different growing channels. It very much feels like old KZread it’s great.
