You forgot to mention that while the nether gold ore block can be fortuned for more nuggets, if you accquire it with the silk touch and then smelt the ore block, you get a a whole ingot. The epdisode was great, totally obsessed!
@@littlegnome5219 I've found that, on average, using Silk Touch & smelting the ore block gives you more gold ingots than using Fortune III, since it's not guaranteed that you'll get at least 9 nuggets per block.
@@littlegnome5219 according to the wiki the most nuggets you can get from fortune III is 8, so it's always better to smelt them for ingots if you're worried about efficiency.
I just picked up Minecraft at 41 to play with my kids, and I can't believe how immersive this game is. And it's a great way to spend time with the kids; first they helped me discover game mechanics and tactics, and now we're discovering new things together. How's your playthrough going?
@@citizenblue yeah my play through is going great! We have walked off a village and are using it as our ‘Viking’ base, complete with our longhouse. My kids hold down the fort while I go off and gather the rare resources. I then ‘trade my gold and diamonds etc for the food and weapons they make for me. It’s so much fun and the kids love it
@julianwhite7503 That's good! We're trying to teach me villager trading because my kids didn't have th patience to do it early game, and we found a perfect mountain castle site for our base. Having a blast!
the "choose your own adventure" is a really nice name for that kinda book XD I love that they're in the game, the book looks so confused but it's a fun mechanic that adds some choice to enchanting plus it's always funny when you get one like it from fishing. It's a deeply metagame'd side of minecraft otherwise, gotta admit
I liked that too! I usually agonize over those books and end up hoarding them without using it, opting instead to grind for the enchantment in the book individually to use lol. I need to relax on that, it’s still a waste if I don’t use the book at all and get worried haha so I’ll make it an opportunity for adventure then, that sounds nice
As an endgame player myself, it’s really refreshing seeing you take the series slow and showing all that early game Minecraft has to offer. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for all of your tips. You have created a series that is useful for both beginners and seasoned players. Also, even though this is a 1.20 series, you did not immediately run for cherry wood, like seemingly everyone else has, which is why nice change of pace these days.
Yeah, it’d be tempting to go after all the new stuff straight away, but I haven’t planned for cherry wood in any of these builds yet! And this guide is really meant to be an “evergreen” reference for the future, so I’m not looking to get those 1.20 hype views - my focus is on providing something people can come back to, like a living encyclopaedia.
@@PixlriffsIf you are looking into incorporating cherry wood at some point but want a more original concept that would still blend in with the rest of your base, may I suggest you look up "Suffolk pink"? Basically lots of Tudor houses were originally pale pink, not white, and I think the stripped cherry logs make a really good approximation of the colour. The historian in me has always wanted to see it done in Minecraft and since they're timber-framed buildings, they would fit the style of your starter builds!
My kid randomly put together cherry planks and red Nether brick and it looked really good together. It'll be interesting to see what new block palettes come about including cherry as well as bamboo.
I am newer to minecraft and new to your channel and i must tell you i am loving this series, all the facts you share are definitely helping me become a better player 😊 thank you for sharing and helping me out ❤
I agree it's been fun travelling round trying to find all the things I want or need for my builds and not knowing if I will find it this time 😊 part of the fun and charm of this game I think 😊
It doesn't matter if I've seen every survival guide episode from each season or not, I just enjoy watching Pix explain things in Minecraft. A lot of it I know and understand by now (mainly due to the series as a whole), but it's just so calming, relaxing, and also there are things that I may have forgotten about and relearn. So glad this series is back and I will always enjoy watching!
Just an FYI regarding nether quartz, unlike many other items that you can combine to create blocks (IE: bonemeal > bone blocks) if you create quartz blocks you can't break them down again back to nether quartz to create repeaters/comparitors etc for redstone components, where you can trade with villagers for the blocks themselves, so early game if you want to make redstone items, it's best to keep the quartz for that and trade with villagers for the quarts building blocks.
I'm 24 and completely new to minecraft. I get off work and try playing this game, and every time I play, I learn something entirely new. Didn't even know the nether existed!!! 😮
Been playing minecraft for 12 years. I really love how you play through the survival guide. You make it fun to watch and you do a good job of explaining what you're doing and why you're doing it.
Another tip for more gold! Smelt the gold ore from the nether once you get it with silk touch. It smelts into an ingot instead of breaking it into nuggets.
If you break it with fortune it gives you a lot more nuggets, so on average it’s more efficient to use fortune than silk touch tho. Smelting works great if you don’t have silk touch tho.
It is always fun to go back to basic Minecraft and possibly relearn stuff long forgotten (I have been playing nearly continuously since 2013). This is such a fun series. I am also glad to see @MCSkizzleman get a shout out. If anyone hasn't checked out Skizz, go do so.
Yes! I had forgotten or just hadn't explored a lot of things in this episode. Like the mushrooms only growing on the correct nylium, or piglins getting mad if you break nether gold ore near them. And I knew from previous SG seasons that Skizz would get a shoutout, so I was eagerly waiting the inevitable skompass in this one
Loving the new series. I adore your presentational style. I could never really get into Empires, mainly due to not enjoying the style of the other creators, so I'm very glad to see a return of Survival Guide, one of my alltime favourite TH-cam series.
Hi Pix, so my summer holidays just started and me and my dad are learning minecraft with your survival series . We started a multilayer world for both of us a few days ago and we are having a really good time playing it.Thanks pix for helping me and my dad make these fun memories. Me and my dad would also really love a shoutout next video.
This is super interesting in the difference between Bedrock and Java. I'm playing on the same seed, and my overworld is a bit different but mainly just caves are different shapes, it's mostly the same. However, I placed my portal in the same place in the overworld (give or take 3 or so blocks) and appeared right next to a fortress, under a blaze spawner and half the fortress is in the warped forest. The fortress also traverses a Crimson forest and the Nether wastes. But I have not yet found a basalt delta biome. I'm gonna go explore a bit towards the equivalent cords in my world to your portal, and see if it's just off by a small amount and the majority of the difference is infact the Nether scale. Really enjoying this series, I'm impatient though so have made a fair few automatic farms already but otherwise am just following the same progress
Same for me. About 20 blocks from that massive fortress behind the blaze spawner, and the warped forest behind me. The fortress is partially buried in the netherack and blended into the warped forest as well. Need to check Chunkbase on the nether setting for the seed. that would show the different areas in the nether. Unless you wanted to old school explore it.
I have never been so excited for a series, I’ve learned so much that’s just common knowledge that I missed because it’s well common knowledge, Pix makes it so enjoyable ❤
Even though my family and I play on bedrock edition, anyone wanting a great breakdown of the game and mechanics from me gets this series recommended with the astrix for potential differences between versions. It really is probably the absolute best "walkthrough" out there!
A Hoe will mine the leaves off of Warped and Crimson Nylium the fastest. And if Warped and Crimson Nylium are placed and Bonemealed next to regular Netherrack blocks, it will convert them to either Warped or Crimson Nylium as well.
Ive been playin minecraft since 1.7... Have been playing along on without going straight to OP status (villagers, shulkers and wings) and have really enjoyed the early game with this playthrough thanks to you :D
Another quality video. You do a really good job with the pacing and consistent uploading! Also, I can’t believe how fast you found a fortress... I am 102 days into my world and have found 2 bastions but no fortress...
Another fun video! Funny, I have lived in both the states and the UK so your accent isn’t strange or difficult for me to follow ( I must compliment you on your recording; always clear and concise) but it reminds me that I am a Yank when you say “Zed coordinates” 😁 It’s the little things that make me smile, see you next time
every time i do the "Helloo everyone, my name is pixlrifs and welcome back tooo the minecraft survival guide! i hope you're all having a good day!" bit alongside you! it feels like the nicer version of greeting a teacher at the beginning of a class did! :D
This is the episode that brought me to this series, when I was anxiously preparing to brave the Nether. Thanks for the brilliant series, which I am so happy to binge. Even the episodes on topics which with I thought I was familiar are also helpful, because there's always one or two thing I didn't know, and you're so good at commentating I don't even need to always watch, I just put my phone in my pocket and listen to you like you're radio and always come away with some new tip for the next time I play. Thanks for all the work you put into this. I can't wait to learn about all the hard stuff in minecraft that I've been afraid to try.
The scompass is probably the most important lesson in this one. Even more so with the 1.18 giant caves where scompassing is optimal to use there as well
Wow! A great first-trip-to-the-nether episode... I know it seems unlucky spawning first into a basalt delta, but I've always found spawning there first always seems to lead on to good luck in the nether... you gave some really good tips in this episode, thanks so much 😄
Just want to thank you for your content. My son talked me into playing Minecraft so we would have something in common and something we can play together because he loves the game. I stumbled upon the Minecraft Surival Guid trying to figure out what the heck Minecraft even is and how to play. He now looks up to me as a pro haha, and has brought us a lot of fun and good memories. Your guide is to thank for that because without it I probably would have continued fumbling around in creative mode and would have lost interest instead of enjoying all the times playing with my son. Thanks again.
I fell in love with the mountain in your world and decided to use a known world seed for the first time. I keep finding reasons to love it. I built a bamboo house at a beach near spawn as I was getting up and running before looking for the mountain in your world and am building a nice home there. There's actually an igloo with a basement that has a zombie spawner inside it near your mountain in a surprising location which was my first time ever finding and going to one. I haven't found the skeleton spawner yet though.
If I were to choose between the Sweeping Edge and Infinity, in this case that Pix already has a limitless supply of arrows from the skelly farm, just use the Sweeping Edge. I learned that from Gem.
You can pick-up Infinity Bows from fishing, so personally, I would use the Sweeping Edge enchantment and not think twice about "wasting" the Infinity enchantment.
I’m so glad you got those depth strider boots. I enjoy a lot of early game stuff, stone tools, eating berries, traveling by boat, just having a single chest of stuff. But crawling through the water and mining so slowly underwater that you may drown before you break a single block- I can’t live like that.
Love this series I’m using the same world seed but I make sure to progress a little ahead of you so I can find stuff on my own but still use the vids when I can’t find something like the dark oak forest keep up the great work 🥳
I love watching these survival guides because i know a lot about minecraft BUT I can still learn new things like today I learned that hoglins hate warped fungi! 😈
i have been playing this game for almost 12yrs now at this point, but why do i love this series... its because it brings back my old memories as a kid playing this game for the first time, but it brings it to the new environment which we all, new and veteran players, experience together
I'm kind of in a weird inbetween stage of being a new player and a not new player, I started up a new world around the time ep 1 of this series was released. I realized that this was the first survival world that I was putting actual effort into instead of getting to the nether stage, dying in lava, getting frustrated, and deleting the world. I just legitimately beat the game for the first time and it was wonderful. Thanks for inspiring me to get back into it Pix :)
Protip (10:30): unlike other resources, if you convert quartz into a quartz block, it is one of the few that cannot be converted from the block back to the original resource (in vanilla). 12:50 I prefer shooting an arrow at the fireball to send it back, doesn't get as close, good for those of us with reaction times not as good.
I won't lie to you all. Since I genuinely enjoy Pixilriff's voice and all, I tend to rewind the first two seconds just to hear the word "Hello" or "He-he-he-he-he" since I keep rewinding lol. That said, awesome video on the nether. Quit curious if you plan of building anything major in the basalt deltas (besides farms), since the ashy fog and particles makes for some great atmosphere.
5:11 If you accidentally Argo the zombie pigman (it happens easily with a careless arrow towards a ghast), pillar up immediately and either wait out the agro reset or snipe them from up high.
Loving these episodes here to watch after work thanks mate keep it up time for me to get some normal stuff done in my VH molded game need some chill time And a skizz shout out let's go Ethos not gonna like that portal hahaha 😅
Heya pixlriffs I like watching your content as its helped me learn a lot more about minecraft I also enjoy watching the hermitcraft recap as well! I also wanted to give a bonus tip on nether portals as when I build my portal frame I use cobble for the corners so I have enough for an enchant table too keep up the rawrsome content.
A behind-the-scenes question for you, Pix. Do you know plan out the episodes you're going to do in order? Or is it more along the lines of "Whatever I'm in the mood to do" at that moment?
I have a vague idea of what topics I want to cover when, but every Minecraft world feels better when you adapt to your environment. We’d obviously have covered jungle temples way earlier if we started in a jungle, for example.
I'd highly recommend listening to his Minecraft podcast the Spawn Chunks for behind-the-scenes on the survival guide. However, from what I've seen and heard from watching 3 seasons, he has an overarching plan based on the natural mincraft progression - its a more accessible order for newer players - and large personal goals and projects. His to-do list is tailored towards these, "before the End I need Blaze rods, before building anywhere else I need a nether hub, etc". Anything specific he does I assume is based on his mood (a happier mindset leads to more entertaining content), except for this early game stage which is already pretty well defined.
@@PixlriffsThanks! I've been playing Minecraft for a while, but there's still tons I don't know. I still make my houses like matchboxes with an internal layout like a microwave dinner 😅. Your Survival Guide series, all of them, are a blessing. Thank you!
One thing I only found out recently trying a Nether start challenge is that you can actually break nether gold ore with a wooden pickaxe and you don't need an iron one like you need for the ore in stone in the overworld. This is actually required for progression without finding iron/gold in a chest in a bastion or nether fortress. You craft your wooden tools from the warped/crimson fungus, use that to get gold for a piece of armor and to make gold ingots and then trade those with piglins and they can give you iron, obsidian and fire charges. Breaking gravel in the nether gets you flit of course so you have two ways to light a nether portal should you get traded enough obsidian to make the portal in the first place. However, the amount of obsidian piglins trade tends to be quite low and this was the most tedious part of the challenge. Overall I don't think I'll be doing this challenge again soon, but it was nice to do once and it helped me learn something new about the game.
You find the most interesting and fortunate spots to Nether into. :) I always end up one of the wastes and immediately burden by ghasts, save the one time I entered a new one and was assailed by skeletons shooting arrows at me through the portal, back into the over world. lol
It must be so exciting to see the Nether for the first time for players who start playing the game in Minecraft 1.16 and higher because of how cool it looks now compared to us who back in 2012 when I started you went into the Nether and there was just the really ugly texture of the Nether rack for miles and that was it, 1.16 is still one of my favorite updates ever.
One suggestion...enchant that gold armor, possibly with Fire Protection. :-) Though Blast Protection might be useful instead, especially if you're going to play tennis with the Ghasts frequently. :-)
could you mention the really high enchantability that gold armor has in the next episode? its useful to know especially for beginners in the nether for the first time until you get better enchants on diamond armor in the future
Good introduction to the Nether and it's bountiful resources and equally bountiful dangers. There may be closer Bastions and Fortresses on this seed, but I didn't find any near the portal from the starter house. The Fortress in the video may be the closest. There are some if you go in the direction of that Basalt Delta and through the Warped Forrest beyond it. The Stryders with saddles can be ridden around the huge pools to find some Bastions and Fortresses much further away. Hopefully Stryders will be a topic in the future as they can make for very fast travel around the Nether.
Oh that ocean portal would have been fun to make a base out of. Maybe an idea for you in a future episode? Have it with a cow farm for the mining fatigue? Make it into a lighthouse or something?
I like how pix doesn't really waste resources. Normally I chuck the bows and armor from skeleton drops but, combining them is really smart, especially early game.
My youngling has been watching Pix for a while now and she is 16 but developmentally around 8 (she was a premature birth) and she says Pix is a good minecraft teacher and one of her favorites! So if im not around to help her she goes to Pix for minecraft help, so thank you Pix! As for me....For the last year every time i start a new world my nether spawn is always the basalt delta which has become as annoying as the world starts spawning me either in the snow or jungle.
Hey Pixl, Thank so much. remember that if you smelt a nether gold blocks in a furnace you get a whole gold ingot and not just a nugget like when you mine or break it down normally.
I appreciated Pixlriffs' tips on how to find Nether fortresses and loot them effectively.I especially liked how Pixlriffs made the tutorial engaging and entertaining. He used humor and his own personal experiences to keep me interested, and he even threw in a few challenges to make things more interesting.
I'm loosely following along with this season in one of my singleplayer worlds, and I also got a Nether spawn with a warped forest close! And did enough exploration to get the biome advancement and Return To Sender! (although all four ghasts I killed on my adventure were over lava, sadly, so no ghast tears for me yet...) Haven't found a fortress yet though, that must be that Survival Guide luck lol.
I built mine with a 3x4 inside diameter portal and it worked. I forgot what you said when I watched the video. Now I'm back for a refresher before I get killed in there.
Rather than carrying stacks of planks or cobble, carry logs. Each log block becomes four planks, so a single stack of logs is like carrying four stacks of planks.

Funny, I have lived in both the states and the UK so your accent isn’t strange or difficult for me to follow ( I must compliment you on your recording; always clear and concise) but it reminds me that I am a Yank when you say “Zed coordinates” 😁 It’s the little things that make me smile, see you next time
Just started a new world with my daughter. This series helped motivate me to start it again. ❤
I don't even play Minecraft but love to watch survival guide episodes I just enjoy them. Everyday I wait just for these episodes 😅😅💓💓
Yay, shout out to the Skumpass and Skizz! Great video.
every time i do the "Helloo everyone, my name is pixlrifs and welcome back tooo the minecraft survival guide! i hope you're all having a good day!" bit alongside you! it feels like the nicer version of greeting a teacher at the beginning of a class did! :D
This is the episode that brought me to this series, when I was anxiously preparing to brave the Nether. Thanks for the brilliant series, which I am so happy to binge. Even the episodes on topics which with I thought I was familiar are also helpful, because there's always one or two thing I didn't know, and you're so good at commentating I don't even need to always watch, I just put my phone in my pocket and listen to you like you're radio and always come away with some new tip for the next time I play. Thanks for all the work you put into this. I can't wait to learn about all the hard stuff in minecraft that I've been afraid to try.
The scompass is probably the most important lesson in this one. Even more so with the 1.18 giant caves where scompassing is optimal to use there as well
Love the skizzleman shoutout!
Wow! A great first-trip-to-the-nether episode... I know it seems unlucky spawning first into a basalt delta, but I've always found spawning there first always seems to lead on to good luck in the nether... you gave some really good tips in this episode, thanks so much 😄
Just want to thank you for your content. My son talked me into playing Minecraft so we would have something in common and something we can play together because he loves the game. I stumbled upon the Minecraft Surival Guid trying to figure out what the heck Minecraft even is and how to play. He now looks up to me as a pro haha, and has brought us a lot of fun and good memories. Your guide is to thank for that because without it I probably would have continued fumbling around in creative mode and would have lost interest instead of enjoying all the times playing with my son. Thanks again.
I fell in love with the mountain in your world and decided to use a known world seed for the first time. I keep finding reasons to love it. I built a bamboo house at a beach near spawn as I was getting up and running before looking for the mountain in your world and am building a nice home there. There's actually an igloo with a basement that has a zombie spawner inside it near your mountain in a surprising location which was my first time ever finding and going to one. I haven't found the skeleton spawner yet though.
If I were to choose between the Sweeping Edge and Infinity, in this case that Pix already has a limitless supply of arrows from the skelly farm, just use the Sweeping Edge. I learned that from Gem.
You can pick-up Infinity Bows from fishing, so personally, I would use the Sweeping Edge enchantment and not think twice about "wasting" the Infinity enchantment.
@@THE_bchatLets not forget you cant put mending on a infinity bow
I just noticed the thing with the alternating mineral colors on the Survival Guide logo. Good job on the editing!
I’m so glad you got those depth strider boots. I enjoy a lot of early game stuff, stone tools, eating berries, traveling by boat, just having a single chest of stuff. But crawling through the water and mining so slowly underwater that you may drown before you break a single block- I can’t live like that.
Love this series I’m using the same world seed but I make sure to progress a little ahead of you so I can find stuff on my own but still use the vids when I can’t find something like the dark oak forest keep up the great work 🥳
Always happy to see a fellow Skizz enjoyer
I love watching these survival guides because i know a lot about minecraft BUT I can still learn new things like today I learned that hoglins hate warped fungi! 😈
i have been playing this game for almost 12yrs now at this point, but why do i love this series... its because it brings back my old memories as a kid playing this game for the first time, but it brings it to the new environment which we all, new and veteran players, experience together
I'm kind of in a weird inbetween stage of being a new player and a not new player,
I started up a new world around the time ep 1 of this series was released. I realized that this was the first survival world that I was putting actual effort into instead of getting to the nether stage, dying in lava, getting frustrated, and deleting the world.
I just legitimately beat the game for the first time and it was wonderful.
Thanks for inspiring me to get back into it Pix :)
I think the fact that I copied the starter house you built really helped too, honestly. It feels better after dying to see it
Woot! Sizzle man compass, skumpass:)
Great series, pixelriffs!
I’ve gotten back into minecraft recently and saw one of your videos and have already binged all of them. I need more!
I've been playing Minecraft since it first came out of alpha, and I love this series. I know most of what you're teaching, but I just enjoy watching.
Protip (10:30): unlike other resources, if you convert quartz into a quartz block, it is one of the few that cannot be converted from the block back to the original resource (in vanilla).
12:50 I prefer shooting an arrow at the fireball to send it back, doesn't get as close, good for those of us with reaction times not as good.
I won't lie to you all. Since I genuinely enjoy Pixilriff's voice and all, I tend to rewind the first two seconds just to hear the word "Hello" or "He-he-he-he-he" since I keep rewinding lol. That said, awesome video on the nether. Quit curious if you plan of building anything major in the basalt deltas (besides farms), since the ashy fog and particles makes for some great atmosphere.
5:11 If you accidentally Argo the zombie pigman (it happens easily with a careless arrow towards a ghast), pillar up immediately and either wait out the agro reset or snipe them from up high.
I love watching this series and playing at the same time!
Loving these episodes here to watch after work thanks mate keep it up time for me to get some normal stuff done in my VH molded game need some chill time
And a skizz shout out let's go
Ethos not gonna like that portal hahaha 😅
Heya pixlriffs I like watching your content as its helped me learn a lot more about minecraft I also enjoy watching the hermitcraft recap as well! I also wanted to give a bonus tip on nether portals as when I build my portal frame I use cobble for the corners so I have enough for an enchant table too keep up the rawrsome content.
A behind-the-scenes question for you, Pix. Do you know plan out the episodes you're going to do in order? Or is it more along the lines of "Whatever I'm in the mood to do" at that moment?
I have a vague idea of what topics I want to cover when, but every Minecraft world feels better when you adapt to your environment. We’d obviously have covered jungle temples way earlier if we started in a jungle, for example.
I'd highly recommend listening to his Minecraft podcast the Spawn Chunks for behind-the-scenes on the survival guide.
However, from what I've seen and heard from watching 3 seasons, he has an overarching plan based on the natural mincraft progression - its a more accessible order for newer players - and large personal goals and projects. His to-do list is tailored towards these, "before the End I need Blaze rods, before building anywhere else I need a nether hub, etc".
Anything specific he does I assume is based on his mood (a happier mindset leads to more entertaining content), except for this early game stage which is already pretty well defined.
@@PixlriffsThanks! I've been playing Minecraft for a while, but there's still tons I don't know. I still make my houses like matchboxes with an internal layout like a microwave dinner 😅. Your Survival Guide series, all of them, are a blessing. Thank you!
Pix sets the bar for the survival guide hands down
You can use splash bottles of water in the nether to put yourself out if you're on fire. Very useful tool for an item that doesn't seem very useful
One thing I only found out recently trying a Nether start challenge is that you can actually break nether gold ore with a wooden pickaxe and you don't need an iron one like you need for the ore in stone in the overworld. This is actually required for progression without finding iron/gold in a chest in a bastion or nether fortress. You craft your wooden tools from the warped/crimson fungus, use that to get gold for a piece of armor and to make gold ingots and then trade those with piglins and they can give you iron, obsidian and fire charges. Breaking gravel in the nether gets you flit of course so you have two ways to light a nether portal should you get traded enough obsidian to make the portal in the first place.
However, the amount of obsidian piglins trade tends to be quite low and this was the most tedious part of the challenge. Overall I don't think I'll be doing this challenge again soon, but it was nice to do once and it helped me learn something new about the game.
I’m so glad I have fire protection on my helmet and chest plate because I fell into two lava moats … (the Nether terrifies me lol)
i know much of this stuff but I really enjoy watching this series
You find the most interesting and fortunate spots to Nether into. :) I always end up one of the wastes and immediately burden by ghasts, save the one time I entered a new one and was assailed by skeletons shooting arrows at me through the portal, back into the over world. lol
Im subbing man. Thanks for the content. You really helped me get into minecraft again.
Great way to enjoy my coffee every morning :) Thanks Pix!
It must be so exciting to see the Nether for the first time for players who start playing the game in Minecraft 1.16 and higher because of how cool it looks now compared to us who back in 2012 when I started you went into the Nether and there was just the really ugly texture of the Nether rack for miles and that was it, 1.16 is still one of my favorite updates ever.
I love just to listen to you. You have a comforting voice 😊
Pixlriffs is the best teacher and buddy I have ever got..😊😊love your videos pixx..keep up the work!!❤❤
One suggestion...enchant that gold armor, possibly with Fire Protection. :-) Though Blast Protection might be useful instead, especially if you're going to play tennis with the Ghasts frequently. :-)
I enjoy hearing the names of other Minecraft TH-camrs I enjoy. Shout out to Skizzleman "ha yeah"
Best notification ever
Love the series and the pace❤
in love with this series
I always learn something new from your videos and I've been playing a few years now.
could you mention the really high enchantability that gold armor has in the next episode? its useful to know especially for beginners in the nether for the first time until you get better enchants on diamond armor in the future
Good introduction to the Nether and it's bountiful resources and equally bountiful dangers.
There may be closer Bastions and Fortresses on this seed, but I didn't find any near the portal from the starter house. The Fortress in the video may be the closest.
There are some if you go in the direction of that Basalt Delta and through the Warped Forrest beyond it. The Stryders with saddles can be ridden around the huge pools to find some Bastions and Fortresses much further away. Hopefully Stryders will be a topic in the future as they can make for very fast travel around the Nether.
Just a note, another aspect of the nether "woods" is that they can't be used as fuel. Being from the nether, they're fireproof.
Wait, they can't? I know they're fireproof blocks, but I didn't realize they don't count as fuel.
@@paulelderson934 Just tested. Can't even be inserted in the fuel spot. Tested both planks in both furnaces + smoker.
I stay up to 3:30 for I can watch you love you man
Thanks for making this episode because I like going to the nether
Thats a great nether. You visited every biome so quickly.
Oh that ocean portal would have been fun to make a base out of. Maybe an idea for you in a future episode? Have it with a cow farm for the mining fatigue? Make it into a lighthouse or something?
Love the lighthouse idea, hahaha. If I keep the portal I'll do something fun with it
I like how pix doesn't really waste resources. Normally I chuck the bows and armor from skeleton drops but, combining them is really smart, especially early game.
My youngling has been watching Pix for a while now and she is 16 but developmentally around 8 (she was a premature birth) and she says Pix is a good minecraft teacher and one of her favorites! So if im not around to help her she goes to Pix for minecraft help, so thank you Pix!
As for me....For the last year every time i start a new world my nether spawn is always the basalt delta which has become as annoying as the world starts spawning me either in the snow or jungle.
Hey Pixl, Thank so much. remember that if you smelt a nether gold blocks in a furnace you get a whole gold ingot and not just a nugget like when you mine or break it down normally.
I appreciated Pixlriffs' tips on how to find Nether fortresses and loot them effectively.I especially liked how Pixlriffs made the tutorial engaging and entertaining. He used humor and his own personal experiences to keep me interested, and he even threw in a few challenges to make things more interesting.
If I stay up long enough I get two pix videos in one day😂 now I can finally get some sleep hopefully! Thanks Pix!!!
2:50 wow the nether looks incredible. i remember playing this game 10 years ago, looks nothing like i remember
Keep doing those survival guides you are the best
So glad you mentioned Skizzleman.
The "Scumpus" of Skizzleman made it to the survival guide! 🎉😂
Great episode! Can't wait for the next one.
I'm loosely following along with this season in one of my singleplayer worlds, and I also got a Nether spawn with a warped forest close! And did enough exploration to get the biome advancement and Return To Sender! (although all four ghasts I killed on my adventure were over lava, sadly, so no ghast tears for me yet...) Haven't found a fortress yet though, that must be that Survival Guide luck lol.
great series I've been playing minecraft for a while and never seen guides better than yours
I built mine with a 3x4 inside diameter portal and it worked. I forgot what you said when I watched the video.
Now I'm back for a refresher before I get killed in there.
Scompassss!!! ❤😂🎉
Not only that, also a proper portal with corners the way Etho likes it.
Can't upset the greats! ❤️
Rather than carrying stacks of planks or cobble, carry logs. Each log block becomes four planks, so a single stack of logs is like carrying four stacks of planks.
Good idea for the end but wood can explode and burn so not good for nether
Your Minecraft survival guide gameplay is so informative Sir. I salute you.
Goooood mooorning! 🎉😊
