How to start a new minecraft world properly Mumbo: *How to complete 80% of the game*

mumbo completing 75% of the game before making a bed

When you realise he's still in the early stages of his minecraft world

2:07 If you don't yet have any food, you can put half of the iron in the other furnace 3:52 After the caves & cliffs update, the best height for mining is -54 (I've also heard that -59 is good but I'm not sure which one is better, in my experience the results are similar) 5:25 I personally like to wait until I get enough xp for 30 levels and only then enchant, it might take a while but it's worth it for the long run 5:50 When lighting up caves, put the torches on one side only (could be left or right, it's up to you) to not lose your way, so you know exactly how to navigate in these caves 7:53 You can also enchant books to add specific enchantments using the anvil, you in case you don't get the enchantments you want, you can both save them for later, and probably get better enchanted gear, although that could require more levels. 8:42 If you build the nether portal inside your base, build a special room for it and lock either the room or the portal itself (gates would do the work just fine) because mobs can pass through 10:25 You can also mix barrels into the floor (idealy made of wood for a nicer look) to get even more storage space at the cost of 0% from your base, plus it adds texture and can sometimes improve the build, and even if not, it might be worth it. 10:40 Before you go into the mine, you can rename the pickaxes so you'll never get confused between the one with fortune, and the one with silk touch. 11:43 While mining, in case you found a mineshaft, get the rails to not sail away on a boat on the ground forever, but if not, I'm sorry. I truly am sorry. Just to clarify: Absolutely no hate to Mumbo, this video is almost 5 years old, and Minecraft has changed (for good IMO) so these are just some updates (:

50 steps on starting a new minecraft world. Mumbo: Okay so now we are going to build an ender dragon farm.

Me: plays for 6 days "check out my house" Him: plays for 6 minutes "now use your enchanted diamond pick axe to escape bed rock matrix and farm the energy"

When exploring caves: Put all of your torches on the right wall. When you walk back, as long as you keep all of the torches to the left of you, you'll find the way out.

I'd like Mumbo to make an updated version of this when 1.17 comes out to see how it's changed.

Minute 1: Knock some stone off of a mountain to build yourself a little enclave to sleep in overnight since you don't even have a dirt hut yet Minute 6: After you've built your enchanting table and automatic chicken egg farm, you'll want to set up an AFK fish farm

Mumbo: Has two stacks of diamonds. Also Mumbo: *Rails and minecarts are too expensive.*

Thumbnail: NEW WORLD DONE WELL! Mumbo: Hasn't even made a bed *NEw WoRLd DoNe WeLL*

8:53 The old netherrack texture brings back memories

Mumbo: so BASICALLY at this stage rails will be quite expensive... Also mumbo: has full set of enchanted diamond armor

Mumbo: "It's pretty well protected and it doesn't look as ugly as a dirt house." Also Mumbo: Builds a huge cobblestone block in the sky.

Funnily enough, my start was WAAAY different, obviously there's the startup tools and all but I usually just chuck a small signifier of a place where all my items will be, type the coordinates in chat, get some essentials like stone tools and food for one trip, and get to exploring, I just started a minecraft world (literally today) and I have a full set of iron armor, a diamond pick, full set of iron tools, a fast as hell horse with iron horse armor and tons of resources and food from looting villages, with over a stack of emeralds without going into a single cave. The trick is getting a bed asap, keeping it in your inventory and just sleeping the night away when it's about to get dark even if you don't really have a house. This way, even if you have practically no armor you don't need to worry about mobs. And then you get a boat and see where the river takes you, oceans are your friend, you look for shipwrecks and/or desert pyramids looking for loot and more importantly, a saddle. It shouldn't be too hard to find a relatively fast horse, you can abandon your horse if you find a faster one anyway. Then you just look for any and all generated buildings, especially villagers, harvest melons, pumpkins and sugar canes you find along the way. Pillage and scam every village you come across, kill their iron golem if you know how to. Right now I have all the things I stated in the first paragraph along with nether access (thanks broken portals), resources to start a sugar cane farm, pumpkin farm, melon farm and the villagers needed for a villager breeder. A bunch of bread and hay to feed me and my horse. An enchanting table (thanks again broken portals), a bunch of paper. Also I may not have the bookcases needed for proper enchantments but I do have a golden hoe with silk touch (thanks again again broken portals) so whenever I do find a village with bookcases I can just straight up get them without them breaking up into books. I will say, this is a very luck based starting strategy but if you feel lucky and do actually get lucky, this can happen, and if you aren't lucky, well you just got a bunch of exploring done and now know what locations are where. If you are really REALLY unlucky and you didn't see a single thing, I mean... You JUST created this world, nothing is on it, you can just delete it and hope for a better generation for your seccond attempt at a beginning.

Consider doing this again for 1.18! Should be interesting to see how things have changed in the game.

>goes on beastly mining session >Can't afford a minecart rail *Makes sense*

Mumbo Jumbo: **is already making afk farms** Me: **still struggling to get a block of wool for a bed and living in a 2 block deep hole**

This video was my favorite video back in the day, ive rewatched it 10-20 times or so throughout the years

Tip for transporting villagers: palace water in front of the boat and when you’re about to go over the water source pick it up so you can place it again and repeat. If you need to go up a block put the water on the block you want to go up

Notch invented wooden pickaxe* W pickaxe: What is my purpose? Notch: You mine 3 stones and afterwards be a fuel to a furnace

>how to play Minecraft >spends most of the time AFK

To transport villagers you can also place water on top of a hill so a waterfall will form, and then travel upstream carefully with the boat. That's much easier and cheaper than using pistons.

6:04 "after a couple of hours" diamond pick still intact, iron tools still intact, armor still intact, no eggs in the egg farm, no seeds either. mumbo sus

Pro Tip: Everytime you're mining, place ALL torches on the right side. so you never can get lost in complex mines or caves because you just have to follow the routes where torches are left

Mumbo: So I've been mining a little bit off camera. Also Mumbo: *2 perfect stacks of diamonds*

"Make sure you have alot of food, which I have forgotten" That 55 steak in the furnace: *Am I a joke to you?*

Starting a new minecraft world is personally my favorite part because it allows you to set up plans and a layout for your world and it is just a clean slate.

Mumbo: now get some woods Me:ok 2 minutes later Mumbo: now build a wither farm

TWO furnaces?? we're getting pricey here mumbo

Is the audio and the footage desynced for anyone else?

Me: *about to comment something nice* Everyone: “Mumbo is making an auto chicken farm before I even got wood” me: nah

"because bones are incredibly useful" *proceeds to leave bones in chest*

Me : finds a single diamond after looking in caves for hours Mumbo : finds 64 diamonds in two minutes

can we just acknowledge that he spawned right next to a nether fortress.

GRINDSTONE is so helpful for enchanting early game. Enchant with any level 3 enchant, if it isn't what you want just grindstone it.

Is it just me or is starting a new minecraft survival world the best feeling in the world?

“Always use protection” -mumbo

I still do everything out of order, lol. I end up making a farm and setting up the basic framework of my main base before I even get an enchanting table, and I waste diamonds left and right making tools instead of an enchanting table because I get hung up on not having all the bookshelves for the good enchantments. I even have a mob farm set up before that enchanting table.

This is nostalgic i watched this when I was a kid

“The nether is very scary” *laughs in 1.16*

3:52 don’t listen to mumbo This is before the caves and cliffs update. The best area now is level. 58-59 hope this helped

how simple it all once was...

"food is going to be the biggest issue in the early days" *laughs in village's hay bales*

as soon as i get one diamond i consider my survival world complete

Glad i found this video again. Saw it when it first came out and have been pretty much reenacting these tips every minecraft world.

6:18 “And after a couple hours of mining, I have been able to gather a few resources.” Literally has same number of levels when he did a cut😂😂

Me: Using a farm to get food, getting my own iron, and fishing on a sand island peacefully with music Also me: *It ain't much, but it's honest work*

“A minecart rail would be quite expensive” he says with full diamond armor and tools, enchanting table, nether portal, afk farms, and stacks of enchanted books

Oh my word, this brings back memories! Iron farm (old school), automatic fishing (my favorite, I miss it so much!) and the look of the blocks! I hope you are having a great day, thanks for the dose of nostalgia.

Step 1: Have fun and do what you want. Figure things out on your own and learn from your mistakes. You'll have a much better experience. Step 2: See Step 1.

Thanks for this video, Mumbo, it's a HUGE help.

I recently started playing minecraft again and would really like to see a 1.18 version of this because of how different it is

Also when making a new world: I find it handy when constructing a mine to take a bunch of sticks with the crafting table to make a bunch of Stone picks. Lower durability, but they save the durability of the Iron one

Mumbo : "Get wood, iron and all the basics ressources" Me : "Yeah seems good" Mumbo : "Now make an afk egg farm" Me : "Wa-"

If you're going down, always use protection Not only in minecraft but rl aswell

we need this kind of video updated to 1.16 please. it is very enjoyable to watch!

"You dont need a bonus chest" brother you're telling us step by step how to be successful in Minecraft. Ill take as many loaves of bread, apples, and sticks as I want.

What's the first step in starting a world? Mumbo: *EVERYTHING*

Please please please can we get an updated version of this video

Mumbo: Use stairs to save hunger! Me: SPRINTS UP STAIRS AND LOOSES ALL MY HUNGER ON 5 SECONDS Mumbo: 🙄

Mumbo: "You need 9 bits of iron and 32 bits of coal." Me: *finds 10 bits of iron* Also me: *deletes world*

When you start a world I’d recommend getting 64 iron. 9 for tools, 24 for armor (33 total), and 31 for an anvil (64 total)

Tip: after crafting a stone picaxe you can use the old wooden one for fuel. And for the extra doors there also good for fuel :)

"And if you have enough levels make an Anvil" plonks anvil on top of enchanting table.

10:45 Don’t you love it when you can go on a mining session and get exactly 2 stacks of diamonds without losing any durability at all on your pickaxe. Amazing

Mumbo: How to start a minecraft world properly! Me: *finding a village to live*

Mumbo! You have been my dream. I have been working in creative for years, and scared of survival mode. I have searched for starter tutorials but none that explains this detail. PS, if you have never played, you do not know you need to cut down trees and with what, you don't know about dirt or why, you don't know anything and end up killed so many times you quite, as I have 100s of times. This time I am going to make a real effort. I understand more now and what I should do on the first week or so. I will let you know if your video got me through at least my first night because I know I won't have a bed so fast, but I will try.

Mumbo: Sort up ur items Grian: let’s just shove that in there!

how i play: -run around for a month until i find a village, ravine, or preferably both -profit

7:51 He forgot to switch back to survival

This helped me so much i started a new hardcore world and these advises are amazing:)

Why is the audio faster than the video?

mumbo's definition of having a successful minecraft world is to play until you don't need to play anymore

pro tip for caving, Put your torches on 1 side (left or right wall) i put them on the left wall so if a torch is on the left i know i am going deeper. If its on the right then i am leaving

as soon as I build my starter base I consider my Survival world complete. Resetting is the best

Step 51: Never create an animal farm inside your base or you will got crazy from the constant sounds! Step 52: Never build nether portal in your base for the exact same reason!

*Me: thinking I am good because I found 3 diamonds after 1 week of playing* *Mumbo: beats the whole game in 1 day*

10:35 'Make sure you've got plenty of torches which I've forgotten, make sure you have plenty of food which I don't have' always makes me chuckle

I've been playing Minecraft for quite a while now and this video has still absolutely melted my brain To potentially make matters worse, up until I found this channel, I had never even heard of the concept of automatic farms

"Go AFK overnight" *Laughs in parents that wont let you keep your pc on during the night*

This is literally the epitome of the phrase "I did some mining while I wasn't recording"

6:05 6:17, true mining off camera, his xp hasn’t changed, his pick durability is still full and he has around the same number of torches

Petition to remake this video for 1.18? I've watched this more times than I care to count

Me: **starts world, finds a place I want to live, spends hours shaping the terrain, finally builds house, builds farm, makes a big hole so mine resources from, go fishing, decorate**

“At this stage of the game, a minecart track might be a bit expensive.” He says with full enchanted diamond gear.

as someone who grew up on this game and played in from 2012-2017 i love this game get cravings randomly to play when i haven’t played in years everytime i try to reclaim my childhood i get on and get bored within 20 minutes. the game is over run with god tier players now so multiplayer is pay to win on most servers and ppl who r starting with nothing trying to enjoy the game can’t, i NEED a video called “how to play minecraft again and it not be sh*t”

watching this again is giving me memories of when I was a child aaa

Is fully kitted out with diamond tools and armour but still lives in a cave.

Alternative title: *how to become overpowered overnight*

2:15 It's a bit sus that Mumbo had exactly a stack of raw beef and a stack of leather.

I'm really scared to start recording my first minecraft video, or any video at all really-

"Villagers are important." 3:04 - *Blocks an non-trading villager*

How I failed: -Start Up world -Walk straight -Fall into cavern -Rage quit

Breaks dirt blocks with hands, instead of making a shovel to do it faster… 😂 Also instead of trying to find coal right away, take 2 sticks and a single wood log 🪵 and place them in a furnace. This gives you one charcoal. Next take 8 wood logs 🪵 and place them and the 1 charcoal to make 8 more charcoal (1 piece of charcoal can smelt 8 blocks of any recourse that can be used in a furnace). This is especially useful your first night in the world to make torches. Once you have a few of these made, you can then go looking for coal.

Just ONE SINGLE thing left: If you (somehow) get Silk touch before fortune (enchanting books from a desert pyramid i guess), enchant another pickaxe (preferably iron, you no want to waste diamonds on a pickaxe that doesn't give you the precious cobble) with it, mine the diamonds you found (and marked the coordinates of) and keep them safe until you get Fortune (preferably 3 but 1 is ok)

I've got a nice little tipp: When you're going into a cave make sure that u will find the way out easily. Usually I put my torches on the left wall when I'm going in. Since I'm using this method I've never ever got lost in a cave.

It's satisfying watching people do things on Minecraft that I could never do.
