An incredibly useful tip that I don't think many people know about, that I just learned a couple of days ago that I use frequently now because my current main base is in a snowy biome, you can instantly destroy "Powdered Snow" with "Water". So if you're building in a snow biome surrounded by dangerous Powdered Snow, just carry a water bucket and repeatedly drop the water around you in the area you're clearing out to instantly destroy the Powdered Snow.

Fun fact: Witches throwing positive potions during raids is a Java only feature. In fact, Java has quite a few raid features that bedrock doesn’t, like stacking the bad omen effect for more difficult waves or villagers throwing you items if you win

4:44 "if a fox attacks you, it can attack you with an efficiency 5 sword"

1:52 Waterlogged rails are also in Java since 1.17

fun fact: tinted glass doesn’t need silk touch. it can be mined with your fist. also, on lit end portals being cheating - I play mostly peaceful, and when I’m not using a lit portal seed half the game is inaccessible to me. it’s also great for one chunk :)

Number 31 (18:23) only works on Java, as you can see in the video in Bedrock edition the potions throw slightly backwards, so you either have to throw them a bit forward or walk backward in order to have the potion land on your head and get the maximum duration. I just throw them at the ground because it is faster.

I’ve been playing on hard mode for almost 2000 in game days, I’ve never once seen a slime in the wild. I bought slime balls from the wandering trader to make sticky pistons. I was shocked when you mentioned them needing to be fixed. Truly shaken.

I love how I used tinted glass pretty often and then I forgot it existed lol

14:56 There is a splash potion of damage resistance, it's called the potion of the Turtle Master, with some gunpowder added in afterward

After discovering soul speed boots, I instantly thought of building a nether highway to connect all my portals. I did find soul speed to be quite dangerous. I was in a soul sand valley mining, and accidentally ran right off into lava because I was going so fast 🤣

#11 diamonds now have reduced air exposure in 1.18 meaning that, while you may find more instances of diamonds, itll usually only be 1-3, so strip mining once again reigns supreme, in fact its even better in 1.18 because diamonds are even more common than they were before, although in caves you won’t actually find as much in total.

00:51 "Protect your villagers from zombies and pillagers" is now stuck in my head.

One I'd like to add: If you have been hit by a Shulker Bullet, and end up too high for your liking, you can eat a Chorus Fruit to return to the surface (or nearby block within 16 blocks) without the damage you would take from the Ender Pearl.

9:04 To be specific about finding lodestones in bastions, you don't find lodestones in the bastion shown. That is a treasure variant, you find lodestones in the bridge variant

ayyyy he's back in my youtube recommendation again. Lets Go!!!!!!!

At 9:06 you showed a Treasure bastion. Lodestones only naturally generate in a specific chest in Bridge bastions.

I like the real world cut on the sponge, it's refreshing to see Minecraft content creators venturing in the light! I thought you guys would just slowly evolve into pseudo vampires.

16:40 building a highway with Soul speed isn’t actually faster then building with blue ice. Antvenom showed this off in his “how far can you jump?” Video and it’s actually interesting

16:59 cake is the preferred food source on laggy realms since cake is instant and other foods can take way too long to eat

Diamond ore is less likely to spawn on the surface of a cave, so while you are seeing many more blocks, you will also have to travel further to collect the same number. Diamond ore near bedrock are more densily packed than at y 14 in previous edditions, but, at least in my experience, the extra time taken to mine deepslate means you will take longer to find them.

Foxes can also hold totems which activate and give them the buffs if they die.

0:54 On Java edition, only having a wall will not be enough. Large groups of Zombies can spawn in sieges inside of a village during the night regardless of light level, which can easily wipe out a village if you do not add other protections like iron doors.

Toycat I'm perplexed about something I came across my survival world. In a cave I've never explored before I've been finding a lot of cobblestone. Straight up like someone used cobble to build up, a bridge, etc. It's like someone was already there using cobble to navigate but I've never been in that area.

6:52 But I think in the nether the temperature isn’t at 43 degrees but more like 100 degrees (otherwise it could mean that water can’t exist in Las Vegas)

#1 You don't actually need a wall, all you need to do is break the door(s) and place it/them sideways then "close" it. The zombies will see it as an open door, and will not attempt to break it down. EVER. :D

Interestingly, you can reduce the Dragon's breath with empty bottles. So if you're trapped by the magic and can't escape, you can spam bottles to save yourself.

19:35 If you dig to bedrock level and build your haste 2 beacon there, it will cover the entirety of that chunk and those around it but you gotta remember that the effect radius is more a sphere. I always used this method to quickly excavate TONS of Blocks in a short time and basically deleting a chunk or 10

It just occurred to me that this is a continuous voiceover over cut videos. That's actually really impressive considering how well-edited the videos are and how smooth the transitions are. How many takes does this require?

"Build a wall to ensla... I mean protect your villagers" -the best KZfaqr Also him "As I've learned in America, people love to shoot each other" As an American, I can confirm

2 more things- endermen also can’t go into areas only 2 blocks tall meaning you can make a 2 block tall ceiling structure and summon them by staring at them and farm them! (just watch out for their long arms) piglins (not the brutes, the regular ones) will get angry at you and become aggressive if you mine gold in front of them

4:46 Ah yes, the Efficiency V sword is very dangerous indeed.

Fun fact: on java edition it's called couching rather than crouching! Edit: here is my source 20:53

My dude, you're hilarious. I love the way you casually go from one topic to the next, while using a completely sarcastic joke delivered in a deadpan tone.

20:32 that water transition is super clean

#35 if you grow grass on a mooshroom island the grass colour is also really pretty and vibrant

big fan of the backport+ (there’s some person flavor additions too) mod ‘netherlicious’ for 1.7.10 because the point of striders not being able to cross water is ‘fixed’ (idk if i’d want this in vanilla, but i always like seeing features get more purpose 😛). i don’t even think they shiver there, they’re not hydrophobic at all, but neither are the piglins converted to zombified when you take them to the over world. *tl;dr* (not sponsored) is play older versions on modded if you can, you can (in most cases) play around with a lot of the newer features thanks to backport mods like et futurum and netherlicious, all the while playing around with older stuff that hasn’t updated in a while. ik most of this has nothing to do with the video but i love striders and i thought i’d mention a neat way for a small portion of players to experience them

I haven't played minecraft much in the last 2 years because I've been in school. I have missed the game, but I have also missed your videos. You amaze me with your ability to dialogue thoughtfully and intelligently with such speed and precision. And you make me laugh! Thank you. And yes, there is no explaining feet, miles, and fahrenheit.

Bro I’m 27 never played Minecraft until yesterday. I know, I know but I played just about every MMO. Just recently I started playing survival crafting games and finally decided to give Minecraft a second try. I tried it years ago but man I’m blown away by the depth of this game. My first run was pretty bad. Second run I just saved when I found a deep slate cave. Got a diamond pickaxe and man that was a great feeling.

sword wielding foxes can be used for cooked chicken farms with fire aspect and looting.

Number 27 is something I use all the time, in my main world I live in a desert village and I've replaced a ton of the sand with soul sand to just run around super fast

As a Veteran player I already knew all of these but still watched it anyways 😂 love the videos toycat!

Lodestone+compass + ANVIL = rename the lodestoned compass to w/e you want = you get a named compas leading you to specific destination, so you know which compass leads where in case you have more ;) you can use it as a waypoint(er), in a very specific way :)

1:52 waterloggable rails was already added to java in 1.17 but only on java the water slows down the minecart.

1:55 Nope, since 1.17 it does work on Java Edition as well. 3:49 It's fair to say that this does not work, bc in the nether water evaporates instantly so it is more than 100° CELSIUS. And where you're is "only" 45° CELSIUS.

Microphone quality was fine, I didn't notice the AC turn on. Thank you for the video Toycat and Samuel H.

Yeah I grew up about 4 hours to the South/West of Las Vegas, the Mojave Desert, it may be hot out there but it was so beautiful, I have never been so awestruck by nature as I was growing up in the desert, I miss it 😢.. anyway much Love fam and awesome video Toycat!!! I been watching your content for years, you inspired me to start recording my own own minecraft content a couple years back, God Bless man and I look forward to your new content! Realm survival island maybe?

17:47 I had to pause the video to make sure I heard that right, lmao.

TYSM, i learned a lot from this, i'm new to Minecraft and i'll definitely be applying some of these tips in my playthrough, especially lighting animals on fire to get cooked food lol

A fortune 3 fox could have come interesting uses in some farms.

If you pillar up and stay out of an Enderman's reach and stare at it long enough, it will become non-hostile permanently, and you can look at it as much as you want without it becoming hostile again.

Number 4 slight correction - As of 20w45a for Java this is not a parity issue since Rails can be waterlogged there

I have not watched this channel in forever! much evolution

Unlike most 'X amount of things you didn't know about minecraft' videos, this actually contained things I didn't know. Noice 🤓

It’s really strange when your air conditioner kicks on at the same time the host’s does in a video. Enjoying your videos even though many of them are over my head right now. Playing on an iphone so I have no idea how to crouch or sneak.

Toycat you should try to speed run minecraft with as few achievements as possible (i.e. no opening inventory, no entering nether, etc) and see how few you can get

The transitions between numbers is *chefs kiss

i learned so much in this video thx toycat

for someone who has to work irl a lot and has very little time to play (AND has never beat the ender dragon and desperately wants to) i just started a world with a stronghold at spawn because otherwise there is a high chance i'll never get to it otherwise. it only has 1 eye, so i still have to fill it out, but usually the distance from my spawn base is enough to burn me out trying to even reach the damn thing. now i can focus on all the other prep and maybe actually have a chance to face the dragon this time around. i also have a terrible habit of deleting worlds when the game updates - this seed is SO perfect for me i'm determined to keep it for years if i can. wish me luck!

9:21 Minecraft one-liner - Better Edition: A warped fungus a day keeps the hoglins away.

conduits can be used as a haste beacon in the rain. also allows you to insta-mine stone if you submerge your head long enough to gain the conduits effects. obviously, that only works within it’s radius, but it’s helpful in large caves as it allows faster mining and night vision temporarily.

Love your videos man, thank you

15:05 i made a friend with a drowned in my world, i put it in a boat. then it started burning because i have a glass ceiling.. i quickly built a roof over its head. a few minutes later, i tried building it a little area with a granite roof, and as i rowed the boat under there... my friend burnt. he was so nice. idk if this is just a switch version bug or smthn but drowned are neutral unless you're two blocks deep underwater with them

As a person who likes peaceful an endportal that's open at spawn would be sick

Hey long time no speak. I'm married now, in a way better place. My wife and I are starting a survival world together tonight. Your chipper attitude got me through rough times in real life and in minecraft. Glad I checked subscriptions.

for the mic situation I would recommend having some sound deadening whether it be sound panels or just use of carpet or other furniture. reason to sound deaden is because the reverberation has resonant frequencies that ring through your voiceover which can be rather annoying over time

Damn, didn’t know that last one. All this time I’ve been building a little platform above my head so they couldn’t get to me, and I’d swipe at em from there. Your way sounds SO much easier 🤘

I used that strategy against endermen using sand then one grabbed a sand block below mine making me fall into attacking range. So I switched to dirt to avoid that but several times they've managed to grab the block of dirt I'm standing on which has been hilarious. Bedrock is a totally functional fun version of the game that is not to be questioned, rutabaga.

You could also light up the entire world by placing torches all the way out to the world border's, and stop mob's from spawning everywhere in your world

3:45 that sponge being dropped made the best sound ever

Loving that intro

If you want to collect a ton of dragon's breath wait for the dragon to perch. It will spew out a massive patch of breath every few seconds at least 3 or 4 times, each time you can fill up up to 40 bottles(keep holding left mouse button even if it seems it's all gone, there's probably a few bottles worth left there). I filled a double chest with it that way, more then enough to last forever.

20:06, string doesn't stop mobs from spawning, at least in Java.

Zombies smashing through doors is old. Glad to see it back!

Considering that I don't play on Bedrock, it's a little silly how happy I am that Bedrock is finally getting 64 bit seeds.

"netherite hoe with the loyalty enchant" -toycat, 2022 best quote I've ever heard

1:23 #3 Rains fills cauldrons Rains? RAINS?! :)

Hey, I’m in Vegas. The weather during the middle of summer is awful. I agree on that for sure.

IDK about bedrock, but in java edition, the protection enchantment and resistance effect both reduce the damage done by magic sources.

love the longer videos

Sponges will also dry out when you place them in a desert biome, not just the nether.

I love your outro sfm🥺🥺

Damn didn’t know half of this! Thank you man

That's why I make Nether subways instead of highways. They can be fully soul soiled (without the worry of potential damage)as well as producing ancient debris as you create more tunnels. Win win.

Hey, I was curious, when do you expect that you'll be making another letsplay episode again?

If you put doors down so they look open when placed, zombies won't break down the door due to the fact that the game registers the door as "open" when you close it

There needs to be a datapack where piglins randomly play the Austin Powers Goldmember clip "I love Goooold!"

More updates on the sponge in the future please! I want to know it’s doing ok.

Waterlogging rails was added to java in 1.17

I’m so glad there is a KZfaqr that actually plays and talks about bedrock

The fox and sword 🗡️ is part of Metal Gear Solid games emblem of Foxhound.

Very entertaining informative and a good laugh

The foxes also pick up armor, which is pretty crazy to think about with decked out foxes lmao, I don't know if it's like this in Java, but I accidentally found out about it while playing on my ps5 and accidentally dropped some armor, and it instantly disappeared with the picking up item sound, so I got confused till I looked at my two foxes that were both next to me lol, so I gave them a full set of iron armor naturally, I already knew they could use weapons, so knowing armor can be given to them, I smiled deviously as I began plans for making a proper fox army to decimate raids and whatever else lmao.

I've heard of a restaurant like that but a little differently. It's based on DND and you roll a D20 to see what you get on your burger. The person who posted this said they had jackfruit on their burger. Worth a shot, eh?

15:00 protection I-IV grant defense against "magic" (i.e. harming, poison, wither, and guardian lasers)

11:15 A good parity with Java, now all seeds from Java can work on Bedrock

these transitions are why we subscribe

Is it me or did that geode have quite an impressive amount of bids?!?

2:53 How many massive lava lakes do you find on the surface for him to have meant lava? They're usually only a couple blocks wide in any direction when I find them so definitely easier to just walk around than to get a Strider from the Nether for a tiny puddle lol.

4:46 Toycat, I knew you had an efficiency helmet, but an efficiency sword?

Sponges only dry outside in the Netherlands. Silly Toycat!
