We really need a way to make coral renewable so we don't have to tear apart the reefs. In Skyblock, tropical fish drop coral fans and 4 coral fans make a coral block. I'm not sure if that would fly in vanilla but it's a solution.

As silly as it might sound, i always prefer to buy coral from the wondering trader or use bone meal for the flowery bits.

Buy it from the Traveling Salesman then set up an item duplication machine and never run out so you can even add to the coral reefs instead of ever needing to harvest from them.

“Weird Plants Week” I feel like I’m watching old-school Discovery Channel. I’m never really bothered with conduits, outside of recreating a couple Pixandria lamps. But with the massive submerged caverns in 1.18, I feel like it gives them more of a purpose. Guess it’s time to farm some Nautilus Shells.

After all this time I never really knew how useful the conduit could be. I always brushed it off as another mechanic that I'd never use. I admit I am now quite intrigued.

I’m with everyone else (and science) about the coral being an animal. And as per the Minecraft wiki: “It's the only animal that is a block and not a mob.” So Minecraft still considers it an animal even if it acts like a plant.

Hey Pix. Great video as always. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the video because I've spent the last 40 hours of playing time in a coral reef scooping up tropical fish and breeding axolotls. Because of this, the sight of coral now makes me nauseous. I finally got a blue axolotl this afternoon; it was about time. Thanks again for the awesome video!

I literally did not know anything about coral except it's existence,Thanks Pix!

I never noticed that the conduit might be the only thing in minecraft where the block itself and the item are (roughly) the same size.

I went on a field trip for coral and tropical fish. I got lost trying to get home and lost a shulker box…. But my pond looks fantastic once I made it home

Conduits and aquifers are one of my favorite new combinations in 1.18 -- I LOVE being able to explore these massive waterlogged spaces.

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

I heard you on the podcast saying people don't build with coral anymore. So cool to have this episode explaining how they work. I started playing in 1.16 and never really cared that much for coral blocks other than finding them pretty under water. I'll try to blend them in more in my single player world. Cheers!

Great episode. I've learnt so much. Didn't realise how powerful conduits are.. and I'm kicking myself for ignoring the wandering trader every time he tried to sell me coral.

I came to know today about the disparity between java and bedrock from your video. In bedrock, within range, you only recieve conduit power if your head is submerged or if it is raining on you, while in java, you recieve it all the time within range. I also never noticed the "eye" opening up before. Also, thank you to bedrock for giving us an actual "night vision" kind of effect, which lets you see anything outside the water as you would having night vision. I noticed Pix did not get that at 27:04. Had it been bedrock, the entire cave would have lit up for 10 seconds.

Maybe you could build an ancient underwater civilisation, that got flooded and trapped in the cave. I personally think that it would make your drip stone cave more interesting. You could also add ancient ruins in there as well. I think this idea is really cool and I might do that if I find a drip stone cave in my hardcore world. Love your vids man, keep them coming.

You could make a really beautiful environment in the aquifer under your base.

I hope Minecraft will introduce dead coral patches underground, like you get sedimentary rocks with seashells etc in in real life. That would mean you could get the texture block for building but live coral was still in reefs only.

I remember the first episode of the first season I still remember you saying how you wouldn’t make a season two or a new world now here we are😂 I have been through 4 accounts now but the first person I always follow is you

When Pixl says "haste effect" for the conduit power, he means a HUGE haste effect. Offsetting the mining speed penalty underwater means multiplying your mining speed by 5. Which means, being underwater with Aqua Affinity and Conduit Power is the equivalent of having Haste XX (20) on land. Alternatively, this means you mine at regular speed when afloat in the water, since not being on the ground also incurs the same mining speed penalty stacked on top. A 25x mining speed boost on top of a 4% mining speed situation equals 100% mining speed.

Rain! I only discovered in the last couple months that you get conduit power from rain if you are w/in the 96 blocks. I have several conduits in a river near my base, and when it rains, I get the power. Very cool to me.

When Pix placed the brain coral next to the coal, the coral looked like a coal ore block, but with the coal taken out.

Dead bubble coral looks like bean blocks...aka the raw ore blocks found in veins or crafted to save space while caving without silk touch

If you're a person into datapacks, Vanilla Tweaks has one that lets you craft coral blocks from 4 coral or 4 fans, making it completely renewable w/o relying on the wandering trader.

Yay i am on time!!!!

Dead coral might be a great natural addition to underground aquifers.

With the aquifer you could have it as a flooded location from past builds or civilisations where a storm flooded there mine leaving limited space but it’s jus a idea

I like to use dead corals for burnt areas like wildfire areas or pillaged burnt villages

CORAL BLOCK VARIATIONS R SONUNDERRATED FOR BUILDING

Hmm. Would have been interesting to see you do a comparison between the dead coral and cobblestone and/or acacia logs. Or for that matter, live brain coral (or whichever the yellow one is) and endstone.

Part of the theme could be the cave was flooded at one stage and the water has been dammed up to give access to mining. You could build a great big steam punk looking pump that keeps it drained. I so want them to have Rusted Iron Blocks and Riveted Iron Blocks.

i had no idea that conduits even have any levels! always thought the 3 rings are obligatory :D

I don't normally comment on videos because I watch on my smart TV, and don't have a keyboard. However, whenever someone is wrong on the internet I feel that urge to correct the egregious wrong committed ;P (yes, I have that sad a life) Anyway, Pix mentioned that there are over 4000 procedurally generated tropical fish in Minecraft. That is incorrect. There are infact 12 shape types and two pattern colors for each shape type, with (Pattern1Color = x, Pattern2Color = y) NOT being equal to (Pattern1Color = y, Pattern2Color = x) So a Red, Green Stripey is not the same as a Green, Red Stripey. because the red is in Pattern1Color in the first and Pattern2Color in the second. Also, both Pattern colors Can be the same, e.g. White, White Kob but this is described in the game as White Kob So 12 shape types, 15 permutations (black is not included) of two colors and you get 2700 rare procedurally generated tropical fish. There is a 10% chance of getting one of these generated ones, so it takes a really long time to gather them, and I know since I have spent the last 2 years attempting to "collect them all" and I have over 350 unique types (tons of duplicates), and I keep track of them using a double entry ledger system that is kept in a big sequence of book&quills in game.

21:15 Pix seems to have learnt some tactics while commentating for Hermitcraft recap.

It would look really good if some parts of the central lake in the cave was turned into a coral biome! You could also build an underwater house made of glass and the indoors of the house dried up using sponges. That would look really good at the centre of the mini coral biome inside the lake And making an entrance to the underwater house connecting the house to your central wooden walkway. If the pathway from the wooden base to the underwater house was made of glass . You could enjoy a small trip from the walkway over the base through the corals and to the underwater house This build won't take too many materials and will definitely be worth the effort, if you get bored of the dry base on top you could always walk up the underwater-glass walkway and go to your underwater house! It will look cool in your new base!

Hey Pix, can you make a hive base later in the series? Like fictional massive sapient insect themed. Using honeycomb and dead brain coral and slime blocks? If you're up for it, maybe incorporate pistons into it to have the base randomly switch layouts to like 5 different configurations. Maybe take a page out of Hermitcraft 7 Mumbo's book and make the base alive with a beating heart and needing to feed it.

I think that the bottom of the crane looks a bit more modern than the rest of the builds. Maybe use something other than stone bricks.
