If only there was a potion for fire resistance to help build that blaze farm.

Funny story: About a few years ago, my mother was watching us play Minecraft. Me and my brothers happened to be in the Nether fighting blazes. She asked us why we were fighting French Fries. We explained to her that they were called blazes. She then said they looked like "French Fry Monsters". From now on in our house, we call blazes French Fry Monsters.

technically, the beacon is the most expensive light source

I think blazes should be damaged by bane of arthropods enchantment. Logic behind it, they have 8 legs and like spiders=nether spiders

Adding “Play Minecraft Again” to the list before 1.21 xD

as someone who converted to java from console edition and so never bothered with the new achievements the copper one sounds awful to try to get

"I've got a lot of questions" And those can be answered by two words: Simulation Distance

When I'm building a blaze farm, I like to "turn off" the spawner first, by sandwiching it between two 9x9 layers of dirt. (With dirt, I won't accidentally break the spawner when I clear it.)

T..toycaat... Get full weathered copper blocks.. Apply wax... Remove wax... Remove oxidization.. Repeat... That's... a million times easer than what you've done.

Another thing for those of you with a raid farm. All automatic raid farms on both Java and bedrock are about to break, so I’d recommend getting as many totems as you can right now. Also, the villager trading rebalancing will also drop soon (I’m not sure if it’s going to drop with 1.21 or not), so I’d also recommend getting all the librarians and diamond gear villagers you can.

For the unwaxed blocks you need to keep, you could use item frames with them in it to keep them from oxidizing more. Could even put the item frames on the actual blocks with another of the unwaxed blocks in the frames to have both and not feel so pressured to keep unoxidizing them.

If you don't wanna have near-death experiences, just bring yourself some fire res and light up the spawner with torches Also definitely place a half slab on top of the spawner, since the proximity of those 2 blazes limits the amount of new blazes that can get spawned

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="37">0:37</a> those pillager captains need capturing before 1.21! You can get ominous bottles in the new update by killing them my server Pigcraft has 3 captured now so 3 ominous bottles in the new update for the trial chamber

Don't know why, but I only just realised the wax on wax off achievement is 99% likely to be a karate kid reference

Thanks for the tip about needing Blaze Rods to make Copper Bulbs. I’ve been looking for an excuse to make a Blaze Farm and I admit that I paid zero attention to the crafting recipe for them. I’ve also been collecting Tuff, but I’m doing it by going back to all of the Iron Veins that I have come across since 1.18 but never bothered mining out because I already have tons of Iron. This way I don’t feel like I’m just mining Tuff and I’m killing the proverbial two birds with one stone.

Okay if you insist, your cape is gay.

If we don't want to explore prior to the update (so we can generate the terrain after and get newer stuff), then we're stuck with the tuff mining grounds we already have. And those will survive the update. So probably no rush to mine tuff pre-update, unless you have a newer world and do want to generate a little more older terrain with more tuff and no trial chambers.

The World updates can hurt when you go looking for a new biome, (Lush Caves and Ancient City’s for me) on previously visited chunks and chunk base doesn’t know that so you fly around loading even more chunks.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="190">3:10</a> I like how a blaze is just quietly observes you

Copper lamps will need blaze rods??? They really gave the middle finger to peaceful players YET AGAIN. First it was the frog lights, now it's the copper lights. Are we just not allowed to chill and build anymore? They lock so many new blocks behind the "you must play actual survival" wall.

Me no like engagement cape. Me write comment about engagement cape. Me give you engagement. Me make toycat happy.

With the Wax on Wax off, you can do the entire achievement with just one fully oxidised version of each block.

I have some feelings about your cape.

Great strategy in terms of leaving chunks until the newer updates. Appreciate thar it's a hard choice for players based on their play style. Great vid!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="904">15:04</a> aww thats lovely (actually its kind of silly that you only wear it to boost engagement but "lovely" is my impulsive reaction to seeing that cape!)

Started doing a lot of this since they first mentioned the chambers, I've been stock with the stuff in a silo since the world fell below zero but damn I love these insights, it's how I got started to even know to prepare for updates like when 1.16 popped out

The reason I'm going to the Trial Chambers is for the music discs, not the mace.

You inspire me so much and I love these let’s play videos as a return to form. I use your advice in my long term minecraft world every day :)

WHEN IS 1.21 ANYWAY

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="478">7:58</a> bro is a psychopath, he didnt jump over any of the torches. just in between them. 😡

Maps are so underrated for keeping clean chunks That’s why I always create a mega map first thing in my world so I know where not to go.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="897">14:57</a> hello KZfaq algorithm I’m am engaging in this video because this is a cool cape and therefore a cool video, now show this video to 8000000000 people please

I’ve been waiting for this video as I haven’t really kept up with the update so far and whatnot

In most of my hardcore playtroughs, blaze spawners are in the open area, and they are spawning outside floathing. Sometimes underneath the spawner i can t go deep cause its pit with lava long way down. So it was pretty rare for me to find a perfect spot and make that.

I'm struggling mentally with getting an achievement before toycat lol. And I had an interesting time figure out you can wax with honey comb, I was putting it in the crafting table and crafting the waxed copper blocks which doesn't count lol. So I had all the blocks and it told me I had half of them. Very confusing for a while.

The copper achievement is on my to do list. I already suspected it would get worse with the update. I keep putting it off because of the tedium of doing it, but Toycat's method is actually pretty easy so I should probably go do that. I've been stockpiling some of the tuff I've been mining ever since the Trial Chambers got announced in case I wanted to make the new blocks, but it's not a big priority. Most of the time, I just use the tuff to fill in mining holes I leave or quickly build stuff in the deepslate layers anyway, so I can just mine them again later. I've also curtailed my explorations so the Trial Chambers will spawn properly. I've already seen some broken ones in experimental copies of my world, and worse the current version of experiments in my world has the closest chamber right under my base which of course didn't generate at all. The actual 1.21 release might have them in different places though. I'm getting a bit impatient because it's delaying my raid on an Ocean Monument and that's tying up several achievements I still need to unlock. Also, the nearest pillager outpost with a trim is also in fresh territory so that's waiting to be raided.

The Pillagers were there for an intervention, even though they're also on the chopping block like the Wandering Trader in 1.21. Good thing I have built a Bonemeal Farm, make a pathway and smelted a freaking ton of glass in my last session at the Iron Grove. I have completed the red bridges in my Nether Hub and getting things prepared for 1.21 where my whole Redstone Region is going to include Crafting Warehouses for the Crafters in what is now dubbed as Crofter's Forest.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="75">1:15</a> lol the first time I told my brother that pillagers appeared on my tiny survival island he didn’t believe me because by the time I got him to the TV to come see they had already despawned. The next time I brought him to see straight away and they were still gone. He really thought I was pulling his leg then 😂 The third time I saw them I took a screenshot straight away. They despawn really easily for some reason.

Just saying if you use the PC version of Minecraft, you don’t need to worry about the updates. You can just go to whichever version you want and then just come back later.

I’m gonna make a water tower to bring ominous bottles to my “afk” spot at my raid farm so I can just grab and drink after the update. I like the random enchantment books u get, I don’t have a villager for every enchantment just the ones I use a lot, and emeralds, and ofc totems.

the thing I don't like about Bedrock edition is that a lot is hidden behind a paywall. On Java, I've got a ton of mods, and I can play with any skin I want.

ive been using complicated redstone to make my redstone lamps be toggle-able with buttons, and now all that redstones gunna be so much more condensed. and yet im not gunna replace the lamps in my build with it, bc honestly, its more impressive to just keep the lamps i have and it be a slight flex, rather than use the easy method. also im too lazy to replace it or start throwing them in making things inconsistent

Love the Cape! Thank you for the tips!

The stand off between those mobs was class 😂

I hope the end rhyme saying in the next one you won't rhyme was a joke lol

Isn't this supposed to be the 608th episode? Now there are doubled 607th episodes.

I've had so much copper and tuft sitting around with nothing to do that it's probably the most exciting part of the update,

I've recently made a new map that has a Mesa biome 200 blocks south of spawn well I build my fort and when placing a nether portal it spawn directly beside the nether fortress so I've no worries for what you claim to be one of the rarest items

I'm thinking that spider eyes get more valuable, as you can lead, breed, and feed armadillos with them.

No clue why, but the tuff collection never occurred to me. Been using it for texturing but plan to use it in future builds so um... time to go mining ig

Maybe someone else suggested this but I just got the Wax On Wax Off achievement by starting with fully oxidised block of copper, cut copper, cut slab and cut stairs. I placed those, waxed them, removed the wax, and axed them again to scrape / debate them one step. Rinse repeat three more times (wax on, wax off & scrape) and voila... achievement in the pocket with just to four blocks. You could do all this with just two blocks of fully oxidised copper and a stone cutter because you only need one block of copper to create four cut blocks of which you need one for a stair and one for a slab.

Yesterday: fixed my bedrock skin finally Today: sees this…. “copper headband” Also me: *REINSERTS MC 360 EDITION DISC BACK INTO THE 360*

Every time I see toycats cow farm it reminds me of when he almost always starved to death at the start of the let’s play ages ago 😂

Some of these things mean not much too me as I'm a java player but I do need to make a blaze farm. This is a nice guide for a simple one. I like more simple farms even if they slower to high tech builds.

You can build a much safer blaze farm using stairs and a minecart with a hopper… I’ve got the setup on my survival world. Also works with magma cubes to farm froglights…

Thanks for the great advice, Toycat!

Well i recommend you use your Raid farm as much as possible, before they get nerfed, since they wont be automatic anymore

I already have a double blaze spawner farm in my world, this won't be a problem for me.

i just delete chunk with no build on my map to regenarate terrain closer, i use MCA selector and delete every chunk with less then 5minutes of player on it then manualy clean up the other chunk

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:02</a> just thought i’d ask, why did you use the new gold bar sprite while using the older texture for the gold block?

Dude why are you in the nether without fire resist? Judging by how quickly you're losing hearts you don't have fire protection on your armour either. You can get fire resist before even doing a fortress by trading with piglins, it's one of the rarer trades so you'll have to be patient but why not?. I've never had to use a totem in the nether, not once lol.

I appreciate this video, please make another one before 1.22

That blaze farm was the most genius hack I've ever seen!

You should talk about the Legacy4J Mod for Java. It's fantastic.

I actually use the copper headband on my main skin XD it goes well with the cobblestone skin-base and my base made of emeralds *wording

i had a thought of how they could give us our tp on xbox they could give us a free way to put our tps on a personal "marketplace"

I have feeling about that cape and want to increase your engagement rates.

Be sure to have some fire resist potions handy for the blazes

I actually think the froglights are way more expensive then the copper bulb. Especially if you dont know where to find slimes. Then it's literally impossible. Lmao

Instead of not exploring you can just reset chunks with no builds for each update

I would think that the wax on/off achievement would get easier because the floors of the trial chambers are oxidized so you would have to do less waiting

Maybe adding the lava to the blaze spawner should be the *last* step...

I don't play newer versions of Minecraft most of the time

Any plans on making a new Mini game when 1.21 drops? On the road to Minecraft: Tricky Trials!

You missed unwaxing the lightly weathered copper block, because you had an unweathered one instead.

Also I like the nether wastes second! :)

Right now I have a little over 80 thousand deep slate for future builds, I wanna kill some withers so I can mine even faster.

Been playing a lot of the new end update during the march 2025 quarantine and I just wanna say I’m glad I followed this video back in 2024

So if you get four fully oxidized copper blocks and you could get the achievement, doesn't sound to hard

Is anyone else considering writing code that makes structures generate in existing chunks? Im surprised it isn't already a gamrule. As long as it checks that it's not overiding player placed blocks, it would make exploration much more fun.

I think I found the smallest trial chamber. Its only has one spawner

I have yet to even see a trial chamber in the distance let alone mine one 😅

Sorry to be that guy, but the thumbnail says ep 607. It’s actually 608 🤓

Me who already collected over 4 stacks of blaze rods and doesn’t need 4 stacks of copper bulbs: 👁️👄👁️

Your"chat engagement cake looks very rastafari,was it a minecon cape ,or is it still available?(I want one)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="410">6:50</a> Yeah, of course I have, I've always thought blazes were cool.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="900">15:00</a> I hope they bring that cape back for June or something, I missed it and it’s one of the coolest imo

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="895">14:55</a> "tiny steve" ... Is that what they call it nowadays?

toycat really witnessed an execution and didnt do anything about it

@Ibxtoycat when will your marketplace world update?

Build a stacking raid farm and just afk for a week. Bad omen now comes in a potion making raid farms useless

Does anyone think they will do a update on the structures like mineshafts, dessert and jungle temples, and pillagertower Or even add a new structure like a evoker tower.. I think they can do better with how they work like mine shafts having a poison spider spawner and no chest loot.. tbh I’d like a actual pyramid with traps and good loot

Yeah I gave up on trying to wax and unwax all copper blocks because I dont know the other nonexistent blocks???

Okay now I need to make a gold farm if I want golden apples

Waxing on is fine, but waxing off is a lot more fun.

Love the cape! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="900">15:00</a>

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="62">1:02</a> writing a recipe override to make the recipe much cheaper.

..... super long "look at my blaze farm" to get ready for another light source x_x

What even is a blaze? Some sort of fire spirit with magical rods of concentrated heat?
