Knowing that 90% of your viewers have probably been playing minecraft for years, seeing you literally explain the simplest things in the most genuine way is extremely heartwarming. Your attention to detail is impeccable and the way you explain the long term reason as to why you are starting things on day one is something a lot of people don't truly know the value of. PIx you are one of a kind and I am proud to be one of your subs and followers.

Your guides are like a warm hug, and have helped me play and connect with my 7 yo son. ⛏️

Do I know all of these things already? Yes. Am I still taking notes and paying attention? Yes.

Even tho i've been playing this game for about 7years and know almost everything about it it's still so entertaining to watch

I love how Pix takes the series nice and slow for those that don't know about Minecraft at all, and by episode 2 still doesn't have iron because the focus is on surviving and feeding yourself rather than speed running

As much as I love my Netherite tools and armor, there's just something very charming about the early game. Nothing beats that new world smell.😊

this series has gotten me unreasonably excited to open youtube every day. i'm bouncing in my chair like a small child. thank you, Pix, for reigniting all the joy that Mionecraft used to bring to me :D

Frugal tip: when constrained for resources like iron, don't let the tool break and instead make a new one. Use the new one about halfway then combine them both in a crafting table or grindstone. It will combine durability and give you a 10% bonus on restored durability (12 blocks for iron).

One day my niece asked me to learn to play Minecraft so I could play with her. I found Survival Guide season 1. And even though I play bedrock alot of the principles are still the same. Thanks to your survival guides I've become a better player for my girl. Also thanks to you I've found Empires, then hermitcraft, then more creators. I appreciate you and all you do!!

Almost 2 years of in-game time in Minecraft, and watching early-game gameplay still never gets old. Thanks for doing the stuff nobody else does!

You can also use trapdoors instead of carpets on top of fences if you don't have access to wool.

Ten years now in MC, and i know a lot of technical stuff. But it's still good to follow your teaching... You have a gift for summarizing and making things clear

I like the new structure of the survival guide. It feels more like a tutorial than a let's play this way and I think that's for the better. At some point this series will finish teaching about the mechanics and teach about building. I hope that when this comes we will get some good building advice. Like how to decorate a wall without it looking too busy or too bland since I keep struggling with that.

if pix continues this consistency, ill watch his videos every single day

Pix you're the only one that uploads at this time of day and I'm so thankful for that

As someone who knows minecraft quite well, I really enjoy the survival guide I never know when I might learn something new, even if it's about simple mechanics like farming

I love the new format; having the "tutorial" section at the beginning for those needing the immediate help/tips (especially later in the series when people might be jumping around videos for specific reference), and then flipping to a "theory" section for those who want something more in-depth or alternate concepts. It's very thoughtful.

Even though I have played minecraft for 8 years I decided to make a new survival world and just slowly progress in it based on the guide so I don’t get overwhelmed or bored.

I've been playing Minecraft for 12 years now. In that time I've learned plenty of details on the game. Despite my knowledge on the game I still love watching your early game survival guide episodes. I already know how to farm trees and wheat and animals, and the reasons to do so. But I still love watching the videos. Thanks for making these videos. Definitely my favorite Minecraft KZfaqr.

I don't need the help anymore playing minecraft, but it was your original series that gave me everything I needed to start playing. Thank you pixlriffs!

Not so much learned something new but been reminded about colored sheep mixing colors when breeding. completely forgot about that! ty

I'm really liking how slow and simple he's taking this new series. It's much closer to the way a lot of newer or more casual players would approach things, from the actually starter house, to putting your first farm wherever you find water, to the tiny animal pens and the "tree farm" that's just plonking down a few saplings. Plus I think the new structure of tutorial, ad break, more in-depth gameplay is working out well!

Pix I think I am officially going to give you the title of "Minecraft Dad". Your videos are so gentle and patient and amazing at teaching yet also so fun just like a good dad! I'm so glad you shared this world with us I am playing alongside you in this seed and it's the most fun I've had playing Minecraft since the covid shutdown!

About food: very early on, a good source of food is fish (the mobs) in rivers. If I'm not mistaken they respawn much faster and in my experience they're just easy to get your hands on. Campfires are also pretty useful if you want to save on fuel a bit.

So, so glad to be watching these again. It's nice to start fresh now and again! I've started a world using your seed - and started my "base" in the same area as you - but I'll be interested to see how different we go.

Pix, I like the new format you are using. It’s a quick tutorial to get the information out there and then more information later in the episode. I bet that’s a good formula for our collective short attention span. Well done

Later during the series can you please maybe make an aesthetically good looking tree farm, even manual, something like Scar did in Scarland

There is something so enjoyable about the simplicity of a new world. Especially in your survival guide where it is all broken down. It almost makes Minecraft feel new in a sense. 😊

Your survival guides are single-handedly keeping my love of Minecraft alive, I’m so excited to play in the new update alongside the series!

i remember the first time i learned about animal breeding in minecraft. i was so excited to see baby versions of the animals

this series is such a gem! i've been playing minecraft on and off for 10 years now, and it's still so nice watching this. i like the pace you've set for them :)

I love that you are really playing the way I play a new world, building a wheat farm near the water, accidentally letting all the sheep out, and breeding rainbow sheep.

It's funny watching these survival guides, it's almost like playing it, it's satisfying.

The concept of giving the concrete tutorial at the beginning and explaining the context later on works well! How do you decide what information to put in the short tutorial?

Your the reason why I started playing Minecraft! A year ago Thank you Pixlriffs ❤

this series made me return to minecraft after a good half a year. Thank you so much for these videos!

I've loaded this seed, and you are right, it's beautiful. I've been exploring on my own, but it's nice to have a virtual "companion" in the same world. I really appreciate your pace, and enjoy the relaxed approach. Thanks!

Hey Pixl , you really don't need to shorten your video lengths. Ask anyone here , I'm sure they all will agree with me.

something to note for new players. With oak trees you can plant them next to a single fence gate stacked three blocks high (a fence post) to force the oak tree to grow at least 3 blocks high usually higher though

2:13 I've been playing since 1.8 and I guess you still learn something new, didn't know dandelions would make rabbits follow you. Good to know :)

Thank you so much for all the help and explaining everything about this farming technique. It helps someone like me who is new to this game. My son has been playing since he was little, like 15-16 years ago, but he will be 21 in a few months and time flies. I really love everything about this game, the music etc, is all great! Keep it up, I am all in.

It's worth noting, especially for new players, that cows can also drop leather, which can be used to make leather armor and books. The leather armor will be particularly useful as wearing leather boots will allow the player to safely walk over powdered snow. That presents an alternative to the dangers of caving for iron ore; the heights of the mountains will be more accessible and iron ore can be more safely obtained from them than caves.

Such useful information and I appreciate the talking speed. Not too fast, not too slow. And you give just enough information so that’s it’s not overwhelming , but also like eye opening. Like I knew water didn’t flow forever, but I didn’t know that it decayed every 8 blocks. Super useful. Well paced as well. You’re a master, man!

I'm Italian and my son just adored the sound of your voice back in season 2, even though he couldn't understand a single word 😇

This content will endear yet another generation of Minecrafters. Thank you kind Sir.

Happy Days here viewing your video tutorial Pixlriffs. 3 generations of my family have played Minecraft, and hopefully many more generations to come. It's a wonderful day to enjoy! Thank you Pixlriffs!!!

This is giving me the itch to start a new world! Our server resets in July though, so I just gotta be patient! I’m also enjoying this video format, I can see it being really useful for red stone in particular. I know when I was new to red stone I often had to keep going back and searching through a video for the specific tutorial bit. This will make it a lot easier for people!

I just have to say that the spin transition from POVs in the intro to this video is so smooth! It's just so pleasing I had to leave a comment about it

I watched most of your last season, but decided to actually play along with this season. I'm terrified of the monsters and so I usually play in peaceful mode. It's so hard not to play on this seed while I wait for another episode 😂 it's a gorgeous seed! Thank you Pix for making these guides! Oh, on bedrock, the water didn't seem to flow down my mountain 😢 it's ok, I made a bucket and moved some river water into a little pond for myself.

Pix! Remember to save and catalog the jiblets. They belong in a museum.

4:27 “If you interact with one of these animals” I know what this means but it makes me think maybe the first three episodes of the S2 playlist should also be here. 5:58 “So thatʼs a challenge: try and get them all”. That really *should* be an advancement.

It's good to have another series from you Pix..I owe it to you in loving this game even more..all the knowledge you've shared has served me as an inspiration to love Minecraft even more ...this is my stress reliever and I really owe that to you Pix ,thank you

Heh. This guide had me all excited for a moment. I'm really attached to green things in this game, and for just a moment I thought "Maybe if I dye one sheep blue and one yellow, I can get a green sheep!" Now that I tried it, I remember that no that's not an option. My problem is my current world has no deserts anywhere near where I'm building, so no cactus.

As I said previously, I'm playing hardcore along with you Today I went to the nearest gravel biome to get some gravel for my starter house On the way I came up across a swamp, and collected some brown mushrooms for a farm I wanna make When I got back I started a wheat farm and collected some cherry wood for my base While I was waiting for the wheat I started to mine and got some iron to hold me over for a bit

I opened that same world seed last night! The mountain is beautiful! There are some interesting caves around, too, including one on the other snowy mountain nearby that has some iron in it. (I have a chest full of snowballs!)

Bro. Thank you so much for going so slow on this beginning stuff. I’ve been lost on this for some time and this pace is just right for a newbie like me. Again, thank you.

I agree with everyone else’s assessment. I’ve been playing for years and this is like a refresher course. Feel like I’m getting it clearly and directly for the first time.

So great to see the Survival Guide back Pixl!! I know you love playing Empires but this series is the one I've been a fan of for the past 3 or 4 years. Keep it going!!

Haven’t watched this yet honestly, just glad to see you covering this series again! Cheers!

I loved the old style of Survival Guide, but I really like the new pace of progression. Pretty fast, but still not too fast to become incoherent. Love it .:)

So, I've been playing this game for about 9 years and love everything about it and its amazing to see a game with free updates. I have watched both of Pixlriffs survival guides. The first one was for me to know a little more. the second for me to enjoy his content. I am very happy to see this new season happen cause I missed season 2. The only negative thing I have to say is that he is now making his survival guides like the modern youtuber video is; Very fast paced. There's not much time for beginner minecrafters to understand how to do things without a full understanding. I am definitely not saying he's doing it poorly. It's just wayyyy faster than his previous series.

My grandsons got me playing Minecraft years ago! I still play. I watched Pixlriff until he started playing another area of minecraft. He's back and I'm gonna watch again! It's in the new biome too - ... I'm even learning some things I still didn't know! :-)

These guides are helpful. I am playing your world and after dyeing my sheep, i took it one step further and dyed my sheep with every color, both breeding to mix colors, and dyeing sheep with the rest that can't be mixed, brown and cactus green. The pen got so crowded I had to expand it. Once I had every color, I sheered all of my sheep to get wool of each color. It was fun. Thanks for the guides!

I've been watching your survival guide since season one and I still don't understand how you are so good at building! Also when do you stream? :)

Hey pix did you know you can do the same carpet fence trick using trap doors? I like them better because you can match them to the fence color

I love watching you explain things I've known for years and I'm glad it's not just me haha

WAIT! I've been playing minecraft for like 5 years and I NEVER KNEW RABBITS FOLLOWED DANDELIONS!!!!!!!! You taught me something! 🎉🎉🎉 Yay!

Nice to have the guide back. Have a feeling it will be a good season

I love watching these even though I'm a fairly seasoned Minecraft player. I actually started a world on the same seed last night so I could play along with you this season. I can't wait until you start exploring further afield because this seed is so gorgeous.

I love this series. I've played this game since 1.12 and I completely forgot how it felt figuring all these things out for the first time

I've played this game since alpha, still watched it! Great job at explaining everything in a friendly way for new players.

even if i know the game well enough, it still seems like I'm learning it all from scratch only because of the way you explain and engage us to the game.. very exciting!!!

nice and cozy episode^^ love the carpet trick, always like to use this instead of the fence gates, especially when its a really cramped pen^^'

For some reason the tip about waiting for mobs to spawn, and then sleeping and watching them burn, cracked me up xD Very helpful advice, though!

This is the first Minecraft channel I started following somehere after the ocean update when I started playing and I love to come back to every new video ♥️

One more thing about non-hydrated farmland- it can turn back into dirt on its own if: a) there isn't a crop planted on it and b) it's not close enough to water that it could hydrate but hasn't yet.

Im at a point in MC where i'm on a server w/ a couple friends and we are using Create mod, as well as a bunch of other mods. THAT SAID, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to see Season 3; it's always nice to have a refresher, as well as learn about the new stuff Thank you for all that you do!

I don’t know if you take tips to add from viewers but i wouldn’t have a chest sitting next to a fence because of wolves for sheep and other hostile mobs (especially creepers) for any animal. Anyways I’ve really been enjoying the series so far even though I’ve been playing Minecraft for years. Can’t wait for the next video! :)

Been playing a long time and still learning new things about this game. Thx Pix

Love the series, reminds me of 4 years ago when I first started watching the first season.

the good ol welcom to minecraft survival guide! never gets old

I've watched all your survival guides, even as a long time player. They are very well done and I still learn something or at least a different way to do something.

I just bought the game a few months ago after being begged for years. You’ve helped me SO much with this game I’m now obsessed with. 😂 Thank you!

Love it! Following along nicely! Cant wait for the next one

Thanks for keeping it simple as someone who's new to minecraft, i learned so much from your simple explainations

One additional tip I would advise when farming sheep is not placing a chest directly next to the pen. If you are in or near a biome where wolves spawn, they will pathfind over the chest into the pen and kill all your sheep. Then you'll have a wolf pen instead of a sheep pen 😜. This has happened to me in the past, so I'm rather paranoid about leaving chests or blocks too close to my sheep pens.

Some things worth noting that I came across while playing along today, is that pigs also like beetroots and rain may be of no concern to you, but thunderstorms very much are. During thunderstorms monsters can spawn, even in the middle of the day and rain can subtly transition into a thunderstorm which allows mobs to catch you completely off guard. That nearly happened to me today, being lucky enough to spot the straight up army of various monsters marching over a nearby hill before they could attack, getting away with just a jumpscare. Edit: I somehow forgot to mention the tip for dealing with a thunderstorm, which is that you can go to sleep when it happens, regardless of the time of day. So whenever there are decidedly too many mobs outside to be explainable by caves or other dark areas, the safest option is to just take a quick nap, either in your home if it's close enough or, as THE bchat said in this comment's replies, to have a travel bed handy for emergency situations such as this. The latter option will reset your spawnpoint, so be extra careful after taking it.

Thank you man! Even as a MC veteran, it's always fun to watch this show!

I've been watching since season 1 and your tutorials have helped me so much and I really like the calm style of these tutorials, thanks!

I’m glad someone is emphasizing the need for wood before going mining or adventuring😂 tools, impromptu nighttime shelters, torches, beds! Take wood with you, people!

Hey Pix, I love these videos, they're so chill and comfy!

I'll never forget your channel and your videos bc thanks to you I started playing Minecraft. And even I know there are other Minecraft series as well, I keep coming back to yours bc I just love you cometary, your voice and the pace of the videos. Also, I really love your imagination when building, I'm not good at it but you give me lots of inspiration and show me how fun it is to do so ! Thank you Thank you ❤❤❤

I have watched season 1 at the time it came out. And tho i played minecraft in 2012 or something. There were actually some things that were new to me. Small things that made the whole thing more efficient. Love the series

Even though I am an experienced player, I love watching this sereis. You introduce and explain the game concepts really well.

I learned to play Minecraft a couple years ago with your tutorial let's plays and what do you know, im still learning (and re-learning)! Rabbits like dandelions? Oh yea- colored sheep can make new colors! I may not be a complete noob anymore but I may end up needing a refresher tutorial series more than I realized lol.

Perfect series I was looking for.

This is helpful cause I started playing Minecraft yesterday and I know almost nothing of this game lol. Im glad people are still making updatesd guides

as someone who is using this seed as well, I can't wait for the caving episode!

Watching you start another season gives me the goosebumps

so happy im gonna have daily videos to look forward to. you are very entertaining
