11:35 "There are so many useful trades offered by the wandering trader".
This has been the first time anyone has ever said this.
They added the wandering trader specifically for situations where a world won't have new items if it updates. Or if you would have to travel a long way to find new chunks.

this is how minecraft was always meant to be played (they literally use this entire survival map as the minecraft icon)
Makes sense. How the bedrock version of the map is horrible compared to the one with grass. It all makes sense now.
This 100% isn't the way Notch and Microsoft invisioned Minecraft to be played.
Same way that they never would've known that someone could build working computers and playable games and Minecraft inside Minecraft.
They're possible of course but nobody could ever have known that this would happen.

You can actually get more grass blocks!
The wandering trader can sell rooted dirt which you can right-click with a shovel into a dirt path, which you can then mine back into dirt. This allows you to spread more grass and therefore get many more passive mobs.

Hopefully we can somehow obtain lava from trading or something so we have more to play with. The nether and end should also each be one block.
@@legendgames128 Nether and end don't have to be one block as the portals will spawn a platform in both dimensions when going through.
@@yama123numbercauseytdemand4 Oh yeah that's right. I was more thinking one netherrack block or one endstone or something.
@@legendgames128 Ah I see.
Edit: But if done without a portal back to the overworld, both would first require modpacks or further updates to the game, to be viable. Because in both Nether and End there is no way of getting blocks with just one starting block. As nothing that spawns there drops blocks or stuff that can be made into blocks via the 2×2 crafting of the inventory.
@@yama123numbercauseytdemand4 There will be a portal back to the overworld for the nether. As for the End I might add in the portal along side the one starting block.
Not only is it crazy how much of minecraft is available with a pretty simple starting requirement, but it's also crazy how much of it is locked behind a single lava source block
You could easily make this into an ultra-hardcore mod pack by tweaking some of the big issues with this challenge, such as increasing the distance you can fall before a hostile mob despawns, reduce player knockback, increase the chances of foxes spawning with emeralds, increase the chances of wandering traders and their useful trades, etc.
It would still be absolute agony to play but it’s be great for some masochist TH-camr to suffer through for our entertainment.
How can it be ultra hardcore if you still have to fall? Regardless of the fall distance changes you still must fall…
@@berneymarknot hardcore as in the in game setting....
Calm down Satan
I might look into creating a datapack that removes all the useless trades from wandering traders, adds the lava bucket, only spawns foxes with emeralds, makes it so the void kills you instantly.
Some guy is actually doing it mostly legit except with save scumming
This is some insanely clever theory-crafting. This is so barebones I've never even considered if it'd be possible. On top of that you've got great quality narration/editing. How do you only have 1.8k subs?!

This is like Pikasprey's soft-lock picking series but for Minecraft. I love shit like this.

when trying to get the fox to spawn, having killed a witch to get a redstone dust can speed up the process a ton, since iirc foxes are the only passive mobs that can spawn on redstone dust, therefore making the entire process go a lot quicker. I am pretty sure the protosky players used this to their advantage.
We used buttons which aren't available here. Not sure if redstone dust works as well. A gold or iron pressure plate might work though.

I think a datapack/mod to fudge loot tables and spawn rates would make this a REALLY cool challenge map. Get rid of all the bullshit numbers against you and just keep the fun of building everything from one black. I think anything other than number fudging would really break the spirit of it though.

@@jacobc9221 ,
I thought the same, modifying it such that the void kills you instantly would remove a lot of the boredom
By killing drowned, you can get copper to make lightning rods. This allows you to speed up the process of making pigs into zombie piglins.
Or you could get lucky and the drowned could drop a channeling trident, and you could strike them yourself.
@@ballisticgriffin3360 How do you get drowneds in skyblock? Drowning the zombies manually wont make them spawn with a trident, so this is impossible. (I guess)
Hey all, future me back to say thanks for the recent blow-up and update this video with some new facts.
- 1.18 introduced the moss block which basically overhauls this video. It costs 1 emerald to buy two of these, and if you bonemeal the moss, it can create trees (no saplings required). Very big route-change that pushes things slightly towards human-completable.
- Around 12:15 I get confused as to why podzol isn't increasing the passive mob spawn rate. Turns out podzol can't spawn passive mobs like grass can. After looking at the games code, I found that podzol is only able to spawn in foxes (happy little coincidence???). Also this issue can be resolved through the next point:
- A lot of people have commented that I can make more grass from the podzol by tilling or path-ing it then letting the grass spread. This is something I was aware of but didn't make super clear in the video. I implied it at around 19:15 but I should've used it in my comparison at 12:15
- Finally, a really good comment that came in early was that I could get gold by killing drowned. This was absolutely true until 1.17 where drowned started to drop copper instead of gold. I also found that there was no overlap between when moss blocks became tradable (21w13a) and when the drowned drop table was changed (21w05a). This means you can't have both drowned dropping gold and traders selling moss unless you're willing to downgrade (which is fair game IMO but just saying)
Also final note, this video had 1500 views a month ago lmao (350k now). Thanks for all the support and please do check out the follow-up series where I do the bedrock thing :>
Nice
As many have pointed out: the "Copper -> lightningrod -> zombie piglins -> gold" route would be the 1.17 replacement to speed up gold obtainment
you need blocks to grow moss grass blocks is 1

@@eddiemate very slight? I'm not sure that considering what happened in a Belgian election once.
An easier way to get gold is to drown zombies but they only drop the base drops. No fishing rods or tridents
Very good point lol, guess I was too keen on killing pigs with the big zapp.
this aged half good and half bad, they don't drop gold anymore but copper, which could be used for a lightning rod to help turn pigs into zombie pigman faster

This video made me realise just how great and broad the scope of this game is despite its simple intentions. Like this game is so complex it's insane, yet it's also simple. This game is a double entendre in itself. The experience of this video mirrors the experience I got from watching A Tribute To Minecraft by jschlatt 4 years ago, it awakens the feeling of astonishment I got from Minecraft as a kid. I'm forever thankful to the game and the people surrounding this game. And especially thanks to the creator of this video because it was clearly well thought out and brilliant. Side note I've probably wrote the most emotional comment on this entire video I'm sorry
"there are so many useful trades offered by the wandering trader"
previously unsaid sentences in history
Breaking podzol with you fist for dirt?
Grass can spread to the dirt for extra grass.
other method: using water to regrow the grass, like buy the sapling, get wood and more saplings, regrow wood and use the make barrels or a workbench and later with zombies a cauldron to get water. with water you can water the dirt and regrow grass
@@astrid2432 watering dirt doesn’t grow grass. Grass only spreads from other grass
enderman?
@@leeuwengames315 endermen don't spawn with grass blocks they steal it from the world. But if it's a world with no grass, they don't have anything to steal
Yup! This is the best way to increase the passive mob spawn rate. He seemed to miss this. Unfortunately It would take Loads of hours, as the 17 minutes per passive mob is with loads of blocks. This implies you've killed tons of sheep for wool already, his rate of passive mobs with no blocks is 23 hours per mob. So it would take probably months of in game time to build up to a spawn rate of that, say you get like 3-4 wool from a sheep after say 3 passive spawns(as you may not get a sheep) attempts so 3 days, this ups your rate, then it takes another 2 days to get another sheep, maybe 1 more day for a new sheep. then things MAY pick up a bit. So after a few weeks you may be at that 17 minutes per passive mob. at this rate it still would take about a week to get a single emerald, Probably would want to go podzol then after you get 3 to have more spawning on grass as well as use the dirt from podzol to spread grass to a new biome, which opens up the doors to all the biome specific mob drops then. So my guess is that to reach this point would probably take a few months of in game time, which is crazy but i have games with 2000+ hours in, so to suggest putting in a few months of play is plausible.
I would recommend checking out ProtoSky, as it is a super similar thing, they started with a Nylium and Lava, and a grass block in the overworld. They currently have villagers, dirt, witch farms. They have defeated the ender dragon and done a lot more.
sorry to say this but in the start they gave themselves bone meal to grow the fungus. and also the lava was in the overworld
in all there were 4 blocks(nelium, nether tree fungus, lava and dirt) and the ender portal, and the proceduraly generated end dimension.
@@Bluey still hard tho
does it matter? Was just a matter of waiting for the fungus to spawn or not
@@qcom1008 they dont spawn naturally, and you have to bonemeal them to grow
This is what all of those "I survived 100 days in one-block Skyblock" videos should actually be. Amazing video!
Dude this was an amazing video. As someone who does not usually have the patience to watch normal videos this one got me watching the whole time, which is really cool. I also enjoyed your video making style and way of doing things, not really cutting any corners, but doing things right, which you don't see often in a ton of these somewhat industrialized Minecraft videos these days lol. Keep it up man :) .
as of 1.17+ its possible to obtain dripstone and most of the lush cave items/blocks from wandering traders, and probably a lot of other new items.
doesn't dripstone mean lava ? I know it drips water but isn't there a small chance it'll drip lava ? or is it just it there's lava ont top of it ?
Ah, that’s what I was wondering.
If you can get dripstone from wandering traders then that means infinite lava🤔
So nether is accessible
@@CibuYT it drips water in the overworld and lava in the nether but those can't fill cauldrons. We still need a lava bucket somehow. When I did my extreme skyblock for fun I just added the trade to the wandering trader. How it should be imo
@@incog0956 yeah they can fill cauldrons
@@CibuYT only if there's a sourceblock above them
One more thing to note is that by drowning zombies we can get drowneds you can drop copper ingots meaning we can also make a lightning rod to simplify the process of obtaining zombie piglins
You forgot something:
You can use bonemeal on the grass to grow tall grass to get seeds
dirts too expensive to farm and food isnt a problem since you can die
@@kebeiwjwgseywgw5590 You can use the seeds to breed chickens, infinity food (okay i get it you can jump off the world, but foward thinking is nice)
@@NeurodivergentSuperiority How about wheat insteat of chickens? /shrug
@@Azarilh How will you get water? Can you grow the crops without water?
@@NeurodivergentSuperiority You don't need water to grow crops. But he did get water. One way is to buy buckets with fishes from the wandering trader.
If you did get any lava, it would be functionally infinite because you would be able to get a dripstone spike from the trader and make that lava generator setup with the lava and a cauldron. Buckets would probably also not be a problem at that point all things considered. Your progression would also be a little bit faster, because the second you get any water having a furnace enables you to smelt down armor from zombies with a blast furnace and get gold and iron nuggets. Of course you would need wood before this became useful, though.

2:24 i tried this out, and i think i got a method that, with some practice, could be reliable enough so that in a hypothetical human attempt of this challenge you wouldn't have to risk spawning in a creeper or relying on rng to get a bow and arrows to get blocks. Basically this method is very similar to what you tried here with a few modifications. The first thing i found is that it is essential to release sprint before you hit, because you deal much more knockback with sprint. Second: it is much easier to move the sheep to the corner of the block without shaders, because you can rely on the circular entity shadow to judge how you need to move the sheep(or if you should at all). Third: it helps to do a pretty big circle jump instead of risking it by jumping close to the sheep, you're more likely to push it off accidentally if you do that. I also noticed that, at least for me, it is much more reliable to let yourself fall for quite a bit before doing a hit from below, this in theory allows you to position yourself more accurately relative to the block and the sheep and maybe even subconsciously judge whether you should punch or not. Last tip is to, of course, count the punches, do five and for the sixth just do one while remaining on the block, having the wool fall into the void is not something you would want i think. First big issue is that it is rather easy to accidentally punch the sheep at an undesirable angle and instead of punching the sheep to the opposite corner it will end up closer to one of the sides of the block, this, in a lot of situations, makes it pretty much impossible to move it to a corner when you want to go for the next hit, instead you're more likely to end up pushing it off. The two solutions are to either wait and then reposition it when it starts moving or to risk it and try to get a hit in anyway, this has worked for me a couple times, but again, big risk. Second issue is that this all kinda takes a while and there's a good chance that at some point during this the sheep will just randomly decide to end your run and eat grass. Those are the two issues i noticed so far in my tests, i've yet to(and to be honest probably won't) attempt this as part a real run, so i might be missing something that could make this not viable, like for example the sheep despawning when you fall or something silly like that, but i have gotten 6 consecutive hits before and found this to be more or less reliable as long as you know what you're doing.
what about double punching? like punching them out, while jumping behind and punching them back into the block, killing yourself, respawning and repeating til its dead
@@Mostbee I tested this and my conclusion is that this is not possible, by the time a second hit can even be registered by the game the sheep’s already pretty much below your one block and that’s just one of multiple issues i found with this, f.e. the knockback of the second hit seems to be not strong enough to get it to fall towards the block.
you can also do f3 + b (idk i forgot) to see entity hitboxes, so you don’t need shadows to see when the sheep falls off
I love this. A full page of text on how to efficiently kill one sheep 😂. Nice effort tbf, and wanted to say that you could use ender pearls to kill hostile mobs without the whole hunger thing, but this is obviously fairly limited.
@@aidan-mx2fy also "the sheep can randomly decide to end your run by eating the grass" lol

You can get more grass by
1. Buying Podzol
2. Mining it (which gives you dirt)
3. Placing it next to the grass block
4. Waiting for the grass to spread

You'll be happy to know that now foxes can spawn on snow blocks, the emerald grind would take way less time! Also, since 1.17 introduced dripstone you only need one lava source to get any extra lava/obsidian you need :] also, no idea how the mobs cooperated so much in this vid without falling to the void x]
Yeah but we can't get one lava source though, mobs don't drop it ( obviously ) you can't craft it, or trade for it to my knowledge, so you're still kinda screwed
@@zerne6334 i think having the lava placed a few blocks down from the grass block would benefit the challenge a lot. It opens up the nether (and that opens up the end if you let the end portal generate) as well as giving you a faster way to die, and many more blocks/possibilities from there
@@lima7132 the whole point of this is to have ONLY a grass block
Mobs don't move if they're only on a single block, and won't walk off unless there is a block such as a trapdoor. They're willing to push their friends off, however.

Subbed immediately. Fun theory crafting. Tons of effort. Well explained. No empty unanswered questions. Fantastic narration
The effort, quality, and originality you brought in this video is outstanding, well done!
At one point I had a similar idea except the starting point was a blank superflat world (no decorations, no villages, etc). i ended up discovering the same things you did here, that you can get emeralds from foxes (thus, make biome taiga), to trade to a wandering trader for essential items, get iron from zombies, gold from zombie piglins when lightning strikes pigs, etc. i never put the pieces together for converting zombie villagers via a witch, though. that was clever. its unfortunate that you cant actually go to the nether or the end, though.
you can make this a possible almost 1 block survival map where you can beat the entire game by having a chest with end portal frames and a lava bucket. then, with the most-recent changes, you can infinitely duplicate lava with dripstone, which is now a possible trade from Wandering Traders, so you can make nether portals. depending on what you do with the Nether for the survival challenge, you _should_ be able to beat the game from there. place the portal frames down somewhere, make your eyes, and you can go to The End.
You might fix some problems like nether or stone by giving yourself one lava and no water as water can be gotten from cauldrens or traders, but also dripstone can be gotten then iron from zombies or if your advanced from golems
Really feels like the final earth 3
Woops i sometimes dont read all pardon me
@@timohara7717 ye i mentioned dripstone
You’ll need the nether to have blaze spawners if it’s also empty space
@@clankplusm yeah, it depends on what you do to the nether, like i said. if it is _also_ one block, it _might_ still be possible to make Blazes spawn, it just depends on how you did this. if you simply prevented the game from generating _anything,_ Blazes will never naturally generate. however, if the blocks in a chunk are simply just replaced with air after they are generated and nothing else about the chunk is changed, it will be possible to have Blazes naturally spawn in chunks where there was a Nether Fortress, _i think_
This would probably be a lot of fun to actually try, so long as you amp the tick rate up to hundreds or thousands of times what is normal.

Don’t stop. This is awesome!
Best video 2022 by far!!!!!! I love your humor cuts, and overal originality and effort pyt into the video!!! Actually insane, thanks
The only thing you need to add is one lava source block inside an end portal and have the lava inside 10 obsidian block... To make it more painful to obtain. you can have it all at the same place and far away from spawn at least like 100 blocks and you have the most technical, playable, beatable, sky block in minecraft... That's amazing.
You wouldn't need more than 1 lava source, since lava is now renewable in 1.18 with pointed dripstone from the wandering trader and a cauldron which you already have. But I really like the idea of putting it at the end portal so that it makes it much harder to obtain for this sort of challenge.
You've legitimately just simulated evolution as a coordinate-tethered immortal god of an entirely alternate universe. That's horrifying.
You're content is brilliant and I genuinely wish the best for you and the future of this channel :)
Insane work man, this is the most interesting and mindblowing Minecraft video i have seen so far. I really appreciate these mathematical explainations, I love the way you use probabilities and all the infinite complexity of minecraft to theorically prove this is actually possible.

I had pondered the possibilities from bare bone situations, but I had never even imagined anything this extreme. You’re a genius!
I remember discussing using the iron from zombies to make iron trapdoors to spread out, but just making shears for wool makes a lot more sense. Great video!
the most likely way to get lava in future updates is to cure a zombie pig and barter a piglin.
It's also somewhat rational to make an exception to have an end portal, since the end is the only real goal of the game. This would gauruntee access to obsidian (and I also, uh, silently assumed for a couple seconds that it would be unmodified, that would mean a lot of stuff)
@@ShepSourceCode to be fair, so is 70% of the comment section
unless the end portal is already open, that "guaranteed obsidian" is gated behind going to the nether to get blaze rods -- i.e. behind obsidian.
Aside, since piglin somewhat quickly turn into zombified piglin in the overworld, that should make bartering... interesting, heh, unless that's changed. but i guess that's the theme of this entire video. starving yourself and falling into the void so that you can spawn mobs is much worse than having to cure piglin over and over so you can barter with them a little bit.
@@kitlith last time i checked e eyes can be dropped by enderman or traded by clerics. then again that was a pretty long time ago
@@quinnencrawford9707 Ender pearls (what endermen drop) are the teleporting ones, eyes of ender (the ones for the portal) are crafted with an ender pearl and blaze powder. Clerics used to trade eyes of ender I think, but since 1.14 they only trade pearls.
imo we should be able to get magma blocks turn into lava source blocks in some way, and have a way to temporarily turn zomb piglin into regular piglin, and trade for magma blocks before they turn back into zomb piglin, this solves all the issues except for end portal frames
This, and your Factorio video, are the sort of content I adore. Thanks for making them!
The success of this video goes to show how good this video is. As far as i know this is the first video of this channel. Way to go!
Idk why but I love this videos with bizzare consepts that noone even thoght of before. Minecraft is truly - a masterpiece, ahah, u can play however u want. Very nice job on the video!
This was actually really interesting! Great effort!
honestly with a combination of keep inventory and some kind of mod that increases mob drops for early game would make these sort of fun
Damn, this video has suddenly blown up over the past month, congrats and thank you for making it!
I don't really understand why were the pigs only necessary for the sapling route, though. You'd need them either way, right? The only difference being that you could still get them after getting wood if you go the podzol route.
This would be a great thing to see as a TAS.
Wayyyyy too much rng here for a tas
@@keir3040 that's... One of the main points of a tas?? To rng manipulate? So it's even better for a tas
@@slurpnderp1838 no, TAS can only manipulate simple RNG that is only bound to controllable elements like the time and inputs of the computer, most modern RNG is a lot more complex and can't be manipulated by a TAS in any meaningful way.
A TAS is just a program that executes a list of inputs, in it's nature a TAS is not reactive. So if the human creating the TAS doesn't know exactly know what will happen it's useless. As Keir said, too much RNG for a TAS.
@@hamdepaf6686 very late lol but after more experience with me tasing I get it lmao I was kinda dumb you made good points (alt account)
@@derpyslurp8779 no worries, being dumb is no fault, we all are dumb in some way or another, staying dumb is however. ^^
As someone who has done this research as well, here's a few additions:
- If you play multiplayer, you can kill sheep with your fists, if the other player punches them back onto the platform.
- Spiders drop string, which you can also use to craft wool blocks. This is probably faster than waiting for sheep, if you can kill them reliably.
- I actually played on a vanilla skyblock server where we had to go the fox route. It took us about a month to get the emeralds for podzol. Since we also had access to the nether though, we could get the remaining emeralds much faster (since we had basically Infinite dirt).
- starting in the nether is probably the better option, if you can somehow figure out a way to kill mobs at the beginning (e. g. in multiplayer)
Very well made video though!
I didn't think of using bows for one-shotting sheep, that's smart. Also snow is a great idea.
I totally want to try that at some point, maybe with scripts and the option to speed up the game.
I would love to chat with you about this stuff sometime :)
Spiders need a 3x3 space to spawn
@@11-erhex83 yes, but only a single floor block
Nice vid! You can also get phantoms to spawn too, though in the beginning you would need the initial block higher than y=64, so not very useful ( or consistent) for player damage!
Bro this is so cool! I appreciate how much time u put in it! Brilliant work
Reminds me of an even harder version of runescape tileman haha, well done my kiwi bro this was phenomenal
This deserves so much more attention
12:36 Spawnrate likely isn't increasing because you're limited by the passive mob mobcap in the testing
No, since the mobs are killed instantly by commands the mobcap is at 0 the next time the game attempts to spawn passive mobs. Podsol is just not a block passive mobs can spawn on.
This is still one of the best minecraft vids I've ever seen. Props
I am consistently blown away by the nexg thing you do
12:04 if you break podzol it turns into dirt that can then be placed next to the grass and let it spread… now you have more grass blocks. BIG BRAIN!
you can make a ceiling on the grass block so only foxes and chicken spawn, which makes it way easier to get emeralds
Smart
Great vid, real dedication! Hope you grow out to become a large TH-camr.
Thanks for doing this for us so we don’t have to, yet know it can be done.
I honestly hadn’t even considered the thought. When I saw the video I expected the first 2 seconds to be “you can’t”
The podzil could be mined up and turned into dirt, allowing for trees to be grown without sacrificing the grass.
This is actually extremely well made
I would like to see similar videos. One idea is seeing the limits of the rarest possible occurance in a single gametick on a single block or chunk. My idea would be a mob spawning while getting struck by lightning. Or passive mob behavior like chiken egg drops or sheep eating grass.the idea and limits are up to you though.
Cheers dude! I've got something cool planned similar to this for another vid, but maybe not MC.
It would probably be the rarest mob spawning while getting hit by lightning or something similar. If you want the rarest occurance possible that would probably be quantum teleportation causing the game to glitch and summon a completely new mob.
@@farkler4785 Ahahah, omg.
@@Jokeypokey man, never thought this would gain so much traction, but here we are! honestly the productionm quality of this deserve the ammount of attention you're getting. keep it up!
I do wish the quality of your mic was better but this video has made me interested in your channel, you're definitely gaining an extra sub!
thank you for including shader in description. very minimalist and doesnt seem to ruin the image with temporal anti aliasing
I thought this was going to be a typical clickbait one block challenge video, this was super interesting
1.18 has made one part of this challenge much easier. Foxes can now spawn on snow blocks, as can rabbits and wolves. Some napkin calculation tell me that a large enough platform of snow will spawn on average 3.6 foxes every 20 seconds. That's a bit faster than one every 75 minutes.
this idea and video is one of the most beautiful elegant things ever to cross my life
This was sooo fascinating yo. Plz make more!
I'd love to see you make an updated version of this video when 1.20 comes out! Obviously 1.19 would make sense too, but there is always the chance 1.20 could be game changing for lava/cobble/obby potentially :)
You can also use the bones dropped by skeletons to make bone blocks
But that needs a crafting table, something you do not have at the start of the challenge
@@danielrosales221 oh right, but my point still stands
@@piot013 Oh, i thought you were talking about when you still had just one grass block
@@danielrosales221 not necessarily but thanks for pointing it out, i forgot you need a crafting table, i thought you could just use the 4 slots
I'm truly astounded by how far you can go with just one block. Jeb and Agnes should add a lava bucket and pointed dripstone trade. On start up, the map should consist of: one grass block, one end portal frame. You've shown me that it's possible to beat the game under the aforementioned circumstances. Well done!
This was really fascinating to watch. Thanks for putting yourself through hell to give us a bit of entertainment!
