I believe repairing an Elytra with leather is how it used to be done before phantoms were introduced
Thats true i remember getting it for my elytra
I was going to say that too lol
It was
I thought he was og
correct
Many steps like the wet sponge, snow golems helping you or that you can repair elytras with leather were actually true, but got patched out
They updated the game to nullify their own guide book.
I don't think it's really patching out when it was the intended use
which is why I think guidebooks like these are worthless in a game with constant updates like Minecraft
Yep, they used to make updated guide books, but they stopped after 1.11
1000th like
Fun fact: in old versions of minecraft, you can repair elytras with leather
I'd much prefer leather tho
@يمسح ill take the risk, i have nothing happening in 3 days anyways
edit: its been 7 days. wheres the death ive been promised.
@يمسح You're using a foreign language like it'll scare people
That's weird, but useful
Back before the final tutorial map was added, memories
This feels like someone from the past took their Minecraft 1.0 knowledge and tried to apply it to 1.19 Minecraft.
It is pretty much exactly that. The textures in the book are the own.
Yeah but u should only play 1.0 anyway
@@roaarylion5214Nah. Criminalize playing older versions of games. New only.
@@sahaquiel4640 then we all go to jail
@@sahaquiel4640waht why
The issue with those guides is that they were outdated before their release.
I own the books
@@MoonlarkSpiritsmy kids got them as a present from someone.
@@MoonlarkSpirits i got an original book. Combat one
i have the creative one, it is so outdated and makes about as much sense as trying to fold a fitted sheet
I have the older guide books, I wonder how outdated they are. Iirc they had some pretty generic stuff that probably still works.
its for "as mojang intended in 2016" you couldnt make banner map beacons, you could repair elytra with leather, and so on.
the hill shelter is a good idea as well. could you review the older handbooks? the solid colour ones with golden tools?
THOSE OMG
oh my god i remember those. what were they, the combat guide, redstone guide, construction guide and adventure guide, right?
Not fully sure about the last one, but sounds about right
@@jackknifevideoworks there is the combat, redstone, construction, and essential handbooks. i know cause i have those 4. essential is green with a pick, construction is blue with a shovel, redstone is red with redstone dust, and combat is purple with a sword. they all where first printed around 2014. wich is around minecraft versions 1.7-1.8 ish. these versions had no elytra, nor a lot of building blocks. a lot of advice is very simple novice advice that is alright when used but not when taken literally. some things would be outdated and some holds up pretty well still depending on what you wanted to do
@@Starnite_ah, thought so
The Cave base suggestion is really good actually.. It's generally what I do for he first couple of in game days before I work out where I want my first base and are getting starting materials, why build a house where you can find a medium size cave, light it up and put a door on it.
Or just dig a hole into a hill side
@@Johnmaloney1962 I use that all the time when starting out, don't expand the top at night and get a crafting bench, after u place crafting bench, cover up the door spot with dirt and leave one spot open as a window to see when day is up. Mine during the night will speed your game up
@@ipupi8784 this guy gets it
Normally I just kind of... Stay in the mines
Exactly. It's the most efficient way since you don't waste time building anything and you can even look for ores if you want. If you can't find a shallow cave then any rock face will do, as you need stone to make tools and a furnace anyway so why not spend your first night in the hole you dug to get them? Another way is if you find coal, you can mine the vein and use that as your house.
4:32 the iron bar fence with slabs can protect you against skeletons, unlike the fence and carpet trick which will protect you from most mobs, except ranged.
or u know
build a 3 block tall cobble wall around
plus, the fence+carpet looks like trash
Yeah he's being biased
Skeletons can shoot through 2 blocks-high wooden fence?
Yeah but how expensive is it? It’s not worth it
As for the fixing elytra with leathers, I think it was the method before phantom membrane got added
Xbox one edition
i think all versions use to have it before the phantoms
@フリスクチャンネル guess ill die.
im still alive. sadly
Some of these features were actually true back then! I always thought you were old and advanced player but it looks like youre pretty fresh if you dont know for example repairing elytra with leather
Outdated by release is not good, they could fix it before publishing.
The reason, I think, why Mojang says to use signs to mark your way is because when that book was written, the feature to plot banners on maps wasn't added yet.
i did nearly all of these back in 2013 when minecraft was pretty new. The wither in the Nether was the SMARTEST thing me and my brother did.
we would build a large obsidian box in the netherrack ground, with one hole in the ceiling. we would almost completely set up the wither boss, then climb out with dirt and finish making it. when it came to life, the space would be just small enough to keep it from moving around, and we would spam beds just inside the box through the hole we left. Simplest nether star farm we ever had, surprised more people don't do it
maybe nobody did this cause it just doesnt work
@@Dero_Zero I feel like half the time the star would fall into the fire and get burnt xd. Just trap it in the bedrock roof if you're gonna do it in the nether.
It’s better to bring honey bottles for the cave spiders since they can stack and still cure the poison exclusively
Oh wow,I didn’t know that honey bottles cure poison!
Yes, fixing Elytras with leather was in the gane before Phantoms
Thank you
Game* and correct✔
never thought I’d see the day where he DOESN’T skip the tutorial 😳
Wow
What tutorial?
Thats not a tutorial, it's a recipe for disaster.
hi moistpotato
@@MoonlarkSpirits me impressed
If you need fire resistance potion before going to the Nether, you don't have to "get" one, you just have to brew one. In order to brew it you need a brewing stand and blaze powder as fuel. So you need to find a village that has a cleric and... and... where can you get a blaze powder? They drop from Blazes, so you gotta go to the Neth...
You don't need to fight blazes. You can as well trade with Piglins, they might give you a potion or splash potion of fire resistance. All it takes you is a bunch of gold ingots, a piece of golden armor to not get attacked, some patience because you might need to trade quite a lot until you get a potion or splash potion of fire resistance, and a Piglin to trade with. Just head to the Nether to... find a... Piglin... uhh...
A fire resistance potion saved my life in that hellscape one day. It also got me an achievement lol.
You didn't need blaze powder to make potions when this was released
@@HK-pq7pe Give me the pro tip.
Witch?
It's crazy how many of these were things I did when I played MC in beta with no guide. It's not that the fire wall on the perimeter was particularly effective, it was that it was *cool* , dangit.
I like the Nether Fortress and End base ideas, I might have to do that in my world sometime.
If you do attempt an Nether base, have a quick removal system in place that gets you 128 blocks away. My first base was in the Nether and if you accidently punched a zombie pigman at least back in the day every time you entered your base they would be still agroed on you. The best way to deal with it was to minecart away wait for the majority to despawn and then drop sand onto any which had your gear (if you died) as suffocating didn't reaggro them.
Yes, you used to be able to use leather to repair elytras. I remember doing this in a turorial world because there was one designated area to do so.
You have to take into consideration that all of these books were written a long time ago
And “Mojang approved” does not mean “Mojang intended”
If you lived in Australia and you used the pillar up method to dispose of spiders. What would Australia look like?
The whole country would be about 30 feet higher.
Or lower, since it's upside down..
Yeah, there's more cobble pillars than people down here
We're taught at a very young age (at six for me) how to quickly build a pillar to defend yourself from the redbacks and huntsmans
It also works on the snakes and crocodiles 😉
@@yourfriendlypyromaniac2829 aren't you getting closer to dropbears that way??
@@SouthPoleAntarcticaDropbears truly the Creepers of Australia.
This just shows how smart players are getting up till a point that they don't even refer to the guide books anymore
I think the point to be made here was moreso that even for old Minecraft standards these guidebooks were simply too convoluted or in the case of water in the nether just outright wrong - The players will always outsmart the game in the end, but the guidebooks are just going in the entirely opposite direction for these examples.
I don't think anyone ever actually used these guidebooks, honestly. Everyone used youtube or a wiki.
@@InternetSlavicMan God help whoever actually bought then tried to use these instruction bookpets lmao
@@stellasolaris Indeed.
Me who actually owns and reads the books for entertainment:
10:53 i remember being able to repair elytra with leather in 1.12.2
6:35 my man built the “certain amount of time later” background from SpongeBob
I have always done most of the survival tips you said for the Nether. I make panic bunkers usually out of stone and railways connecting them. Was surprised to see that here
You could repair elytra with leather before 1.13, where phantoms got added to the game. Unfortunatly, the Minecraft Handbooks came out before 1.13.
2:15 I think they’re listing weapons that you can use, but not necessarily ones that you should.
water in a cauldron is actually useful, in superflat no structures. You use the cauldron to gather rain water to get a water bucket.
It's also useful for adding color to leather armor.
@@ResearchAccount-kj9fu thats only on bedrock for now
wait but how do you get the cauldron with no structures?
or the gold for zombie villager conversion?
@@comet.xI don't understand what your asking
@@UltraCraftYT222 superflat with no structures. iirc empty superflats have no trees, stone, or ore. so you can't get iron for a cauldron
Honesty, a lot of these ideas sounds pretty good if someone wants to play Minecraft the way we are suppose to or were for older versions of the game.
Yeah, lots of these are the ways or are similar to the ways I used to play.
As someone who has been playing been playing Minecraft since late 2015 I can say from experience leather used to be used to repair elytra before phantoms were added
at 5:02 cave spiders actually drop more eyes than normal ones
Why would you need so much eyes?
Brewing ???
With the netherrack wall around your base might work with blue fire now since it doesn’t spread.
Fun fact: mojang released an updated version of the exploration guide called the guide to survival
The advices in these books are coo coo crazy
Their usefull, somewhat
The endermire one sou ds decently useful and the nether fortress base
When I started playing, I did them without looking at the books
Advices doesn’t make sense, Advice is already plural
I mean, they're playing it safe plus it's outdated. Some of them used to be viable back then.
The absolute flashbang from watching that Wither destroy ancient debris was crazy
0:45 this is actually usefull if you are playing on something like consoles where you cant use water bucket effectively. +also ladders help with oreintation in caves
You were able to repair your Elytra with leather before phantoms got added to the game
Leather was indeed used to fix elytra in versions before 1.13, it was added.
When i first started playing minecraft, I actually used these books to help me and I remember following the exact steps loll
The cave house one was really helpful honestly
I remember getting a three Minecraft books (survival guide, build guide, and redstone) back around 2015. It was hilarious to me how outdated they were already at that point, with afew errors. I forgot about them and discarded them for afew years. The building book was my favorite, namely because it did a lackluster job at going anywhere fromy he basics. Ot Over explained alot of simple things ot could have just explained with afew image and it was apparent how outdated it was when one of the houses was only 2-3 different materials.
the best way to play minecraft is to:
1. throw the mojang book into trash
2. play the way YOU want it
You can't throw it away, you have to use it as fuel.
Now I see why nobody completes Minecraft this way 😂
yeah
Exactly
Ye
🏢🏢✈️
True for me Minecrafter from 2019 :(😓😵
Now, you think the cave thing sounds silly, but it actually works pretty well -- you go out to the surface to collect wood and look for sheep and stuff during daylight, you spend the night time underground mining, you just have to make sure you light it up and block up the entrances. I used it on every survival server I played on since around 2011, and tended to build my first house on top of the cave dwelling so that I had a safe mine entrance in my basement.
Mojang: wear full enchanted diamond armor in nether
Everyone: wears half iron armor and goes in any way
Dream: Goes in with barely anything
As a member of the speedrunning community, I can confirm that going in with little to no armor is the move
also dream: grooms a minor
@@lmaoeyisdead he went in with barely anything
@@hongxiawang2049 he went in the minor with barely anything HAHAHAAAAaaaaahhh
@@lmaoeyisdeadI don't know who dream is, but yikes if that's true.
Going to defend the dirt pillar. Why? Switch Edition. Draw distance is so abysmal with the Switch you are basically never going to find villagers on day 1-3... UNLESS you start building towers. Put a block to the side every 3 blocks you go up and then you can get down by digging down on the partial pillar, dropping down 3 blocks every time, no problem. At the top you get much better draw distance (I guess Bedrock loads low fidelity chunks if you're high up), so it's a REALLY GOOD idea to do in the Switch edition, specifically.
That said, absolutely useless for the night, so you got them there.
I use ladders while spelunking, too. 3x less digging for a ladderhole than stairs. I fully admit I may be weird, though.
I get it dude
Don’t Forget that those Guides are made for OLD MINECRAFT VERSIONS (dragons CANNOT do the swoop attack anymore)
Magmarslimes are only Nether. The Drop is in the Loottable of an Runied Portal and correct me if I am wrong: Ancient Citys (don't loot there since I got swift sneak in my hardcore world)
But the book was added before even 1.10 let alone 1.16
@@wither_klng2881 yes the book told befor going in. So where is your problem? I said where it can be located. (Btw added to the ruin portal loottable on that purpose and not to ignite the portal with it. They saw the fault and corrected that with the nether update)
@@prismatixliveyt5072 what I mean is they wrote the book before the added ruined portals
@@prismatixliveyt5072 Magma cream is not in the loot tables of ruined portals. You're confusing it with Fire Charges, which are a single-use alternative to the flint and steel.
I don't imagine anyone at Mojang itself write the guides for Minecraft
Well, old Bradygames strategy guides weren't written by devs either and contained tons of misinformation simply because they were written during development.
When i just started the game i had dirt pillars everywhere because I could not find my way around 50 blocks XD now it just feels like second nature.
If you don’t have a librarian that trades mending books, then you’re missing out! No need for phantoms!
Wow skip forgot that before 1.13 you DID repair elytra with leather XD
to the person below glad we both noticed that
Actually the repairing elytras with leather was added.... but it was removed as soon as phantoms were added....
10:39 I believe the handbook was written before 1.9 when the dragon didn’t perch and it barreled at you instead
You could repair elytra with leather before 1.13
Imagine in a parallel universe were players were incredibly stupid, only 10 people in the world would have defeated the game, no creativity to survive situations. No technical players finding exploits. How happy would mojang be?
@@yuyoshida2076he says saltily about the most popular computer game of all time.
@@edwardallenthree Sry, I meant that theoretically, if Mojang designed Minecraft to the point that only 10 people in the world would have ever beaten the game, most people would probably be uninterested and this highly difficult Minecraft would be unable to gain traction after it’s release.
Minecraft didn’t make their game unbelievably difficult, which is why it became so successful now.
I have nothing against Minecraft to clarify, I bought Minecraft Java and I love it!
"Your whole roller coaster is gonna be closed for maintenance." 🤣
Mojang wants you to have multiple bases everywhere and spend time just grabbing several stacks of materials to use to make all those nether bases. In the exploration handbook, it says you need to mine 20 wood blocks at the start. Without an axe, thats gonna take ages and you dont need that many if youre not gonna build a house with it. At least the very first survival handbook had tips from famous youtubers and notch and jeb
What's wrong with having bases everywhere? Something I like about Minecraft over NMS is having lots of bases on one planet and learning how to navigate the area with maps.
20 wood blocks? Not that much
BTW skip I enjoyed your couple's therapy with branzy, so funny lol
4:47 this one acthaly makes sense, you can make these into mobgrinders later
Fire Res can also be dropped by burning witches or traded with piglins.
Piglins are very useful!
yeah but to trade with Piglins, you have to enter the Nether and it says we need the potions before we go to the Nether XDDD
Imagine someone new to minecraft following the "Exploration guide"💀
As someone who specializes in the mining and manual farming aspects of minecraft, I almost always have a base that looks like an ant hill underground or in a mountain. So apparently, according to mojang, I'm doing that much correctly.
1:04 actually, my father and i use ladders a plenty lot
my father uses them the most when hes mining due to us not having acess to water elevators or anything faster to climb up with but i mostly just make a staircase up or place blocks while im jumping up (and i also dig a hole through the ceiling, i only do this if im lost in a cave though)
2:30 as a bedrock player, swords do more damage (i know axes are good in java)
A lot of these was pretty standard good advice back in the early days in Minecraft
Imagine a new Minecraft Speedrun category called
Minecraft Complete guide.
Only viable when you complete Minecraft with MCguide rules
that'd bee cool
That is an awesome idea. We should get someone to implement it now.
8:58 - "It's a lot faster than a minecart will ever be"
Camman: And I took that personally
7:00 Buried Treasure. That's how.
And witches
Actually, elytra’s were added in 1.9, and phantoms (and, by extension phantom membranes) were added in 1.13. For 1.9-1.12, leather was, in fact, used to repair leather.
The cobblestone forts in the Nether makes sense. Netherrack is one of the weakest materials in Minecraft. That makes it vulnerable to destruction by Ghasts. Cobblestone is just strong enough to withstand a Ghast's attacks.
I really like these facts.they are useful! And they help me build amazing things
:skull:
Yea true, i learned how to crystal pvp like a pro using the redstone guide 😎
I do tend to spend my first nights in a cave. Less effort than building a house right away and it's usually a good place to find resources like coal and iron early. I also do build stone shelters in the Nether. The reason being that unlike netherack, ghasts can't blow it up. Cobblestone is also a good way of marking your way in the Nether which is a requirement for me since I have no sense of direction. Also why I obsessively map my worlds out.
The reason you use cobblestone in the nether is because it is resistant to the fireball explosions that ghasts do, and if you put it around your nether portal it'll prevent the chance you get stuck in the nether with a broken portal, if a ghast were to shoot one at the portal
Keep in mind that these books are old.
Yes... but even then alot of these bits of "advice" are just dumb and clearly written by a 3rd party group that has no idea how minecraft works.
I see some of them are as recent as 1.13, and it wasn’t any more reasonable or practical back then to for example use an endermite to lure away endearment instead of just using a water bucket than it is now. Nor is it to surround your base with netherrack or iron bars. To learn Minecraft you just gotta do things yo self tammy
Repairing elytra with leather was a feature, it was just removed and they used phantoms for it instead
I don't build a dirt hut until I find wool... before that I just build a like 8 block high dirt tower with one block walls around the center point..
then I sneak and go wash dishes or fold laundry 😂
After reaching the Nether, I always build a stone or brick structure surrounding my portal so it doesn't get fireballed by ghasts, since they have enough blast protection to stop a ghast fireball. Other than that, I don't normally find it necessary to build cobblestone structures everywhere, except for trail markers so I'm not getting lost all the time.
Elytra and leather was a thing before phantoms were added
The dragon fight used to be very different with the dragon not perching, instead dive bombing you. A valid strategy was bed's back then, and it was harder so 12 beds is not unreasonable for a new player.
To be fair tho, those books are pretty old, like they don’t even have the Nether Update contents
I remember the old guides having a similar recommendation to build in the nether with cobblestone because ghast blasts can't destroy cobble
"The only ones stupid enough to try it" 0:14
That nether room strat is like... very 2012
8:55 He doesn't care about his Bedrock viewers.
🤓👆
@willowandayla8854 how does it feel to have to spend near $1000 to play Java?
@@BIGTHANKSHEESHbro what? 😂
@@Zenith_Star69 java is mainly for computers. Bedrock is for everything else under the sun
Before Phantoms existed Elytra were repaired by leather. It is correct, but I guess that goes to show how OLD the books are.
Fixing the elytra was done with leather earlier in the day
Mojang explaining Minecraft is just like extended enchant table language
This was very great and just hilarious the creators of Minecraft not knowing about it LOL
I feel like some of these are like.. in isolation... like building a base in the Nether or End.. that isn't in conjunction with their other stuff about the Overworld maybe.. like they are like "oh you wanna be in the Nether? well then guess you wanna live there"
No one's gonna talk about the axe with fire aspect at 3:02 💀
It works in creative for some reason, I guess that's how lol
We can say, it's 9 year minecraft guide meaning no reason...
Bro forgot these books are many years old💀
Skip: use melons for a 60's wallpaper
Also skip: don't build with melons
8:30
The red dragon might make it worthwhile
Me: *Hits mobs with a sword*
Mojang: "NO NO NO! You're doing it wrong! Here- Like this!
*Giant TNT explosion*
This book was made before phantoms where on the game, so leather WAS used to repaor elutras
9:45 I don't agree, having water in a cauldron on the Nether is really helpful, as if you are burning you can just jump inside it and put the fire out.
7:23 that’s big? Also, Ghasts can’t destroy stone from the over world. They can destroy Netherack though, which you literally point out in the next segment. The structures are meant for blast protection from Ghasts. Lol
*Mojang's goals are beyond our understanding*
9:43 it used to be a Java exclusive to be able to bring wet sponge to the nether
Fun fact skip told us that we need magma cream for the fire red but we don't even have blaze rods😂
