I'm so glad this series is back for a third season. I've been loving all the shenanigans on various servers Pix has gotten into, but the MCSG is always gonna be where my heart is.
I'm already starting with the Bedrock tips! It is actually totally possible to mend your tools with a mob farm, it's just slighty more annoying! Usually, what I do is put the tool I want to mend in the slot right next to the sword, use the sword to kill the mobs, generally one or two at a time, and because we don't gain experience instantly there is time to switch to the tool, wich I do. It will take more time though, especially if yhe tool is almost broken! Another solution is to simply attack the mobs with the tool you want to mend! Or yes, as I saw someone say in the comments, use a trident killer, but it's not really something you do when starting the game! As for the breeding mechanic, it's actually the same! On the other hand, the nitwit situation is different, baby villagers can grow into nitwit villagers, though it's not common. And if you do have one, you can actually get them to become regular villagers! Villagers who don't have locked trades can change profession when being zombified, and for some reason, on Bedrock, this includes nitwits! Another note is that trades offered varies between the 2 editions, but if you want a detail of it, it might be better to just check out the wiki! Hope this helps! Edit: Similarly to Java, you can mend armor when you wear it!
Let them falldamage to 1 heart or half an heart and one hit them with what ever tool you want. You can slap your boots on the mobs face, just sayin. If you want that sort of fun.
Yes that was the idea! The only reason I use a sword is for the looting enchantment if I care about the drops, or when the tool's durability is too low! As for armor, I forgot to mention, but, just like on Java, the best thing to do is to just wear it!
8:54 additional note tho for bedrock players, baby villagers can be a nitwit when they grow. i noticed this cause i was making an iron farm and breeding villagers is quite a pain as some will grow as nitwit, and i needed employed villagers for the iron farm
I was about to make this very comment if no one else already had, it's REALLY annoying when you're working towards a certain villager profession but you keep getting nitwits =_=
On the topic of mending without the offhand, the options you stated are good and very early game accessible, the best option for holding whatever you want and mending it, is a trident killer connected to any mob farm (an early game skelly grinder being an excellent option).
I don't play Bedrock, but I would imagine that something like a good Enderman farm which produces so much XP that the bubbles just swirl around you would be a good way too.
I've just used the tools themselves (pickaxe, shovel) on a one-hit kill skeleton grinder to dispatch the skeletons. It gives more xp than the off-brand use of the tool uses up.
Trident killer is definitely a good way. I use it when I want to AFK for a little bit. But my day-to-day mending is done through villager trading nowadays. It's amazingly fast!
So I’ve been playing Minecraft on and off for years. I have learnt SO much from this series. I’ll have to rewatch because there’s so much. I used to go in survival, build a basic house and really my goal was get all the ores and make a diamond armour set. I rarely got to that😂 but the endless things I have learnt and there’s so much to do in Minecraft I’m speechless! Thank you for this series. I’m really enjoying it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Personally I have a soft spot for Masons. I like going out to gather clay and getting rid of stone I get from mining. The clay ball trade is also really good for early game imo.
Same... I look to find a lush cave early on... So much more fun than making a carrot farm etc and waiting around for the crops to grow.... the stick trade is pretty op with bamboo but I always thought wood was way too precious to turn into sticks and not to mention that process is super boring... But I agree masons are definitely the most fun and easiest way to get emeralds/mend tools in my opinion...
In Bedrock, if you stand just far enough away from an XP farm to kill the mobs, the orbs will sit there just long enough for you to change weapon to say a pick axe and then walk forward to collect the XP.
@@donnanoble9772 you could but I find that the xp already starts to hit you before you can swap to the other tool so I like to stand a little further away so I can get the full xp on the other tools.
Really ? I always have like 2 seconds before the XP starts moving! Moreover, I always keep the tool right next to my sword, so the switch is super fast!
@@donnanoble9772 I guess it depends on what mob farm you have. I generally run a zombie piglin/gold farm which I leave afk for 5 minuted so I have a massive amount of piglins to kill so by the time I get through those the xp is normally flowing. For a spawner farm you'd have more time.
Ah, well this explains everything! I run the same farm, but I generally kill them as they arrive! And even if I let a crowd form, I do a few hits at a time, switch and mend, switch and start hitting again!
I'm sure you will address this in a future episode but one neat mechanic is that farmer villagers will harvest and replant crops. This means that they will provide food to the village for breeding without the need for player intervention. Carrots are the best to use as they do not have trash items when harvested (seeds, poisonous potatoes) which could fill up the villager's inventories. This is the basic mechanic seen in many popular villager breeder designs. Greet video as always Pix! Thank you and keep up the good work!
We had someone on our server who wanted to collect villagers with all the different professions from all the different biomes. When it came to collecting the nitwits from the jungle and swamp biomes the only way to get them was to wait around in those biomes hoping for zombie nitwit villagers to spawn.
Just so you know: To repair our tools, we use trident killers. By using trident killers, all the kills that is done by the trident is automatic and counts as a player kill. So it drops experience. In almost all of our mob farm(any kind) we use trident killers for the killing. then we just hold our tools and it mends. Also if you dont have anything to mend, then we hold a looting 3 sword. Then the game applies looting 3 to all the kills and we get that kinda drops out of our farms.
Kind of cool that you moved to an alternate timeline halfway through the episode lol, but seriously I hope everything goes well with your computer repairs!
I love using all the villager trades or most since the fisherman gives out free buckets of water that you can either use for drip stone or Lava buckets for the Armorer
On Bedrock, if you want to repair tools using mob dropped experience, hold the tool in an adjacent hand to your weapon, and switch to the tool after killing the mob but before the experience orbs reach you. Alternatively, if you're using a mob farm that requires one hit kills, you can also just use the tool to make that hit.
I’m mainly a bedrock player, and we actually use these things called trident killers that allow us to afk and still get experience for most farms but this method is still def good
Been playing on bedrock for a few years. Once you get villager trading going, it's probably the best exp farm not just for the exp, but you have as large a variety of items to trade for as you have patients for. My setup has a few farmers for crop trading, then lots of librarians for all the enchanted books and paper trade(another easy auto farm). You can just go crazy after you get a flow of emeralds. Getting lots of clerics for lapis, redstone, glowstone and exp bottles is one of the best in my opinion. Lots to trade and you don't have to mine for those few things anymore, and its basically a double exp farm.(epx from trading and from bottles of exp)
Ngl, I just started opening minecraft again. And thought I should have a refresher course on playing it. And seeing your season 3 made me so happy. Thanks Pixlriffs.
In Java you can repair a bow with the Infinity enchantment 3 or 4 times by using a plain bow. After that the XP cost is too much, and you'll have to craft a new one.
You can do it infinitely by flipping the order. Unenchanted + infinity = same level requirement everytime. You will need to rename the bow if you want to keep the name though.
The good news for Bedrock players is that it seems Mojang haven't given up on off-hand parity yet. I forgot their names, but a few snapshots ago, some advanced Bedrock mapmakers found a new setting that allowed them to use all kinds of tools from the off-hand with a modpack. No clue when/if this will actually get added to the main vanilla game, though.
Watching you hop back to your house in the first couple minutes with the mountain in the distance and the huge valley ahead of you it really is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see what you fill it up with.
I always love to see your vdos pix. Being honest rn. I mean I have watched the s1 a long time ago and ofc there are times I end up not playing Minecraft in a long while. But I did watch a lot of the s2 before I left and when I returned this time I found s3 it's really awesome. I am so happy to be having this vdos from you and I hope to get them future on too,keep up the good work man! Love from Bangladesh!
They have been working on adding offhand. Not only that but they have added crouching under one-and-a-half and the ability to crawl in a one block hole through their experimental stuff( forgot what it's called lol)
14:18 There we have the heart particles fromm villagers breeding in the background. I think you didn't mention that villagers still try too breed when they have enough food even if there a no more free beds. They will produce little thundercloud particles while trying to breed and use up the food anyways. So if you see these thunderclouds particles and you want more villagers place some more beds.
Bedrock Users: You can repair mending items by swapping them into your hand before you consume the XP bubbles. If you hotkey ANY item with mending, you can swap it in immediately after killing things to repair any item even when that item cannot perform the action that creates the XP.
To mend silk touch tools on Bedrock, it’s easiest if you have them in a slot right next to your weapon/ fortune tool so you can switch to it before you pick up the XP orbs.
Villagers can summon iron golems when 'panicking' (e.g. after seeing a zombie), but they can also summon them when gossiping, if they haven't 'seen' an iron golem within 16 blocks in the past 30 seconds. So, a large number of iron golems may appear in a large village where the villagers and iron golems can spread out over a large area. Fewer iron golems may appear in a small or otherwise compact village where the villagers are frequently near an iron golem. It may be possible to stop the summoning of iron golems by keeping one penned near the area where villagers gather to 'gossip'. Villagers exhibit a number of different interesting behaviors that Pixlriffs may review later. The village children in particular engage in some entertaining antics, especially when there are more than one of them.
Holy cow there is so much to this game and learn. I am lost half the time and don't know what to do. Playing with my 21-year-old son, well, he kills it playing this game for his entire life. LOL, but nevertheless, I can't thank you enough and hopefully I can surprise my son when he gets back from the Philippines.
Good Luck! I started playing when my kids were young 5&6 I wanted to know what was going on since they wanted to play with others online. I wanted to meet with new players and chat with their parents like I would in real life. They had a safe worlds to play in and I could monitor whenever I needed to. I have learned so much from Pixel Riffs Guides over the years. I’m 55 now and still playing and learning as are my adult children. Best wishes in surprising your son!
1:07 as a bedrock edition player, I often use this simple trident killer gold farm, in which you do not have to swing at the mobs and they are killed by pistons being pushed by a trident! Also, smelting.
thx pix - i learned that a nitwit can also be used to breed villagers... thats something that i thought wouldnt work... nice episode and go on like that!
It's been a while since I've done this - it works great - I am going to redo this on my new area - maybe make a trading area with the new beds. Yup. :-) I am really enjoying just taking my time, enjoying doing this again! Keep up the good works. I was really disappointned when you didn't do a new survival guide. I just happened to see one of your new ones on my home page. Yipeeee! :-) Granny Lee
Great introduction to basic village management. I like this particular village. It was very easy enough to terraform into a cat farm. You can easily get the 10 out of 11 cats tamed for the 'A Complete Catalouge' achievement here. I tried this with one of the desert villages and it is quite a bit more challenging due to terrain. lmango's guide on a Peaceful String Farm will detail the mechanisms of generating cats, which is surprisingly caused by the player and not the villagers (just their beds.) I also like having a variety of trades at this village. I built wattle's in-ocean early-game raid farm nearby. So this is a great place to stand around and get free loot from Hero of the Village. Or to just spend a bunch of raid farm emeralds for fun. One issue in the video is the food amounts. A villager in Java only needs 12 food "points" or having recently traded with a player to breed. Bread has 4 points but everything else, carrots and wheat included, are just 1 point. Trading to lock in professions will get you up to the villager limit on a small number of beds just as well as locally sourced food. To bootstrap a village, I use a 9x9 wheat field with three farmers. I use wheat because of the seeds and ability to make bread or wheat bales. Fast access to wheat means local breeding of cows and sheep for trade-able meat and more beds. And easy taming or breeding of trader llamas that will spawn with a certain common solicitor. Beetroot is nearly useless in-game with bonemealing two-tall roses for red dye. Carrots are useful if you have a gold farm or access to bundles and rabbits. Farmers will turn seeds dropped into the world into bonemeal at a compost bin if there is no place to plant the seeds. Farmers will pickup bonemeal and use on crops, This speeds up farming by quite a lot. Bees flying over is the only way to make that even faster. Farmers will continuously feed other villagers by trading them any crops they harvest making the wheat farm an auto-breeder setup.
Tried throwing bread, beets, carrots and potatoes at my GF to get her in the mood but strangely enough she only got mad! We do have extra beds so now I’m confused! 🤔
On bedrock edition, you can actually get nit-wit villagers by breeding. I just cured two zombie villagers the other day and started breeding them and I have already gotten two to three nit-wits from them. Am absolutely loving season three, I am following along each episode, can't wait to start making some automatic farms. Take care Pix.
Further tips for mending on bedrock: -Trident killer mob farm (very easy) (the only benefit of holding a sword is if you use looting 3 because the trident that is killing the mobs counts as a player kill.) -Killing 1-2 mobs then switch to your silk touch pick axe, It's enough time for the xp to not reach you -mine quartz ore from as far away as you can (5-8 ores and switch to your tool you wish to be mended before the xp reaches you)
For bedrock mending, if your mob grinder ends on a bottom half slab you can place a top trap door just outside of the grinder and stand 1 block away. (Must be almost against a block 2 blocks separated from mob chute. Can place flush trap door to stand against and still not collect xp.) The XP will be trapped behind the trap door giving a chance to build up xp, swap weapons, and then do significant repairs. I also believe nitwits can be born I bedrock as well. You also need 3 air blocks above each breeding villager's bed in order for them to breed successfully.
How nostalgic it must be to do a second run through of the survival guide. To take all your expertise and create a guide for the “modern era” of Minecraft 😊
Also are you going to build a small town for these players you created? That would be something I would love to see and learn how to do. Thank you again for this episode.
It's better to put a composter inside the ground (that is, leveled with the ground). A farmer can access it this way, but he and other villagers won't be able to trample the crops. I'm amazed how the world gen creates villages that are BOUND to die out, because the terrain is riddled with holes, some houses are on high, steep cliffs and there are other dangers like cacti or lava lakes. You play for some time, go back to the village for something and... "Where is everyone?"
Would you ever do a tutorial video about the options menu and talk about the accessibility settings and what they mean and also how you keep your settings? Another topic for the same tutorial could be about the video settings tab and explaining in detail what they mean exactly, as the vanilla experience doesn't explain for instance what "view bobbing" means. Go over the controls and all the keybinds, for example mention the pick block keybind and show what it does. another thing could be showing all of the quick actions you can do in your inventory with the shift key and like hitting a number on your keyboard to swap what your hovering over with what's in that number slot in your hotbar. the buttons for taking screenshots, toggling your cinematic camera, changing your perspective, and swaping and item with the one in your off hand. Just things that even I do when i play every day that I don't realize that maybe everyone doesn't know how to do. Love the work that your doing! Thanks for making these videos that I can show my younger brother to help him learn about minecraft.
I did videos about this stuff at the beginning of Survival Guide Season 2! There have only been a few small changes to accessibility settings since then, so I didn’t remake those videos. You can still find them at the beginning of the season 2 playlist
What I noticed is that the Toolsmith, if he sells pickaxes & hoes at the very beginning, for example, later on, as a master, he also sells exactly this in diamond variants. In this way, you can already decide at the beginning which diamond tools you would like to have later. • *•* • For Diamond Pickaxe, Shovel, Axe & Hoe, you only need two Toolsmith Villagers.
This is not always true, sadly. My first toolsmith on this seed had picks and hoes at stone-tier as the first trades then only offered axes and shovels at diamond tier. I still don't have a toolsmith offering "free" diamond hoes, yet. Lots of choices on shovels, though.
I’ve never had a video having me think more than this one that “I’m the nitwit villager aren’t I” 😅 lol! Small little diss on myself that I found funny
In Java if you find a skeleton spawner you can have dog kill the skeletons for you and get the experience. If this also works in bedrock this could be another way to fix your silk touch tools.
For the bedrock players out there: you have the ability to make what's known as a trident killer in your mob farm that will automatically kill mobs and get you XP, so you can hold any tool in your main hand to repair it. Enjoy!
If you're playing on bedrock and have a strong xp farm -like say an enderman farm- you can swipe with your sword, and then switch to another item in the bar, the xp balls take quite a bit to get into your character, which means most of it is gonna go into the tool you switched to
For bedrock players, a good way to get exp for mending is a trident killer on a spawner farm (I use a skeleton spawner, or a blaze is even better. Silentwhisper has a good farm design). Hold whatever tool you want while the trident killer kills the mobs, you still get the credit for the kill.
Thank you so much for such a great kid friendly content! My 7 yr old and I love watching your videos. We cant wait to watch more. We are curious what setting you play in. Are you in peaceful mode?
This series is played in Normal difficulty, and I’ll be switching to Hard later in the series. I just sleep when night falls, so I don’t encounter too many monsters on the surface!
I always place the composter at least 2 blocks from any planted crops, this keeps the villagers from dropping on top of them and ruining the planted crop. I also try to flatten the crop area so they don't drop down on planted crops.
I have a nitwit in my villager breeder in my single player world LOL. I was like.... well if you are not gonna contribute to anything else, here is a job you WILL be willing to do :P
Trident killers are a great form of mob farm xp on bedrock edition, the game thinks its a player kill even though the trident its being pushed in a loop by pistons, also means players get the looting effect by holding a looting 3 sword.
@@bleh-zj1hy 2 is quite a rare maximum. It only applies to Fire Aspect (affecting burn duration) and Frost Walker (affecting the freezing radius). All protection enchantments (including feather falling) maxing out at level 4, and everything else is either 1, 3, or 5 levels maximum. On Java edition the enchantments with only a single level won't show the number.
@@TheRealWormbo and here i was thinking i finally enchanted every tool including one trident and armor to their max potential, i got looting after so much difficulty and now i think i threw away the two looting 1 books i kept cuz i already got looting 2 on a new book so here i go again 😪
Hmm how odd, your not the only TH-camr who has talked about computer crashes in the last couple of days, seems like quite a few ppl are suddenly having them??
Bedrock might not have off hand tools, but we have trident killers which means we can heal whatever is in our main hand and don't need to sit holding a sword to hit mobs
I will say for Bedrock I'm almost sure villager children can grow up to be nitwits. They might have fixed this but it's definitely happened to me in the past.
On bedrock edition, players have invented a device called "trident killers" where a bunch of pistons throw a trident around to kill mobs in a mob grinder and that drops xp, so you can use that to mend your tools on bedrock
In bedrock you can also smack mobs with the tool. Yes it takes ages, but it works. As for nitwits, in bedrock they can mature into nitwits unfortunately. Makes trade halls harder to finish.
Rather than penning in animals, I wish they had their own feed troughs. Imagine you could come and regularly restock a feed trough and the animals reproduce. They stay in the general vicinity of the feed trough and are not needed to be penned in. Like a workstation for Pigs, sheep, cows, and chickens.
So the trade off for bedrock edition players is we can build trident killers. This allows us to kill the mob without needing to use the item in our hand to do so. As a result, we can have that doing the work while we simply hold whatever we want to repair
somthing i wanna coment on from like 9 min in; on bedrock edition there's a 10% chance for baby villagers to turn into nitwits. the time i got 4 baby villagers while trying to get a glass trader and all of them became nitwits is when i knew i needed to get java edition
Seeing the collection of workstations reminded me that of all the dozens of villages I’ve encountered in my travels, I don’t recall seeing a single smithing table spawned naturally. Are these not part of village generation at all, or simply very rare?
After checking my game notes (I keep detailed logs of my travels), I found that they are indeed rare; I only found about 4 of them in the 86 villages I’ve cataloged.
Love the series! Just wondering: would it be possible to somehow promote the nitwit to mayor. Like equipping him with black leather armor and nametag him? I know that you can equip them, but I don't know if it can be done that it is also visible.
Neat idea. I play bedrock and equiping villagers with armor via dispensers is possible. Warning though, if they can't pick up items dispensing items onto zombies does not prevent them from despawning
If you’re placing beds indoors while breeding villagers, make sure there are two full blocks of headroom over the bed. Baby villagers need to be able to jump on the beds!
In Bedrock, will villagers despawn? I ran through a village with a handful of villagers before finding an area for basecamp about 100 blocks away. I made sure to sleep before mobs could spawn. After fully building my site and had enough items to trade, I went back to the village and it was empty. I checked everywhere and they've all vanished
Another way to mend in bedrock is to throw Bottles o' Enchanting down a hole with ladders deep enough that you don't collect the orbs then switch to the tool and go down the hole. But a mega furnace is prob the easiest.
I just noticed something: I think it would be nice for new (and even old) players, to know, how long you actually tok, for the progress you made in an episode. Because it often feels, like what you do will take 20min, and it's frustrating when you realize, that it takes hours sometimes, to reach those points.
I find I can just sneak step back a couple of steps from a cave spider farm and the xp just accumulates so I can just change to tools in need of mending and step forward to apply the xp

I didn't know you could change nitwits on Bedrock! I just lava-bucket them... I mean give them a nice home upstate.
😂😂😂
That definitely is an option!
But yeah, it's possible if you want to go through that trouble!
Just use a trident killer and hold the item you want to repair in hand while you collect the XP

also easy quartz

I used a mason in my early game to trade clay for brick blocks for a fireplace, as that was more convenient at the time than smelting my own bricks.
if you get them zombified and turn them back you can give one stack of clay balls (16 clay blocks) for 16 emeralds
In Bedrock, if you stand just far enough away from an XP farm to kill the mobs, the orbs will sit there just long enough for you to change weapon to say a pick axe and then walk forward to collect the XP.

Quite an interesting I would have liked to see that.
Just so you know:
To repair our tools, we use trident killers. By using trident killers, all the kills that is done by the trident is automatic and counts as a player kill. So it drops experience. In almost all of our mob farm(any kind) we use trident killers for the killing. then we just hold our tools and it mends. Also if you dont have anything to mend, then we hold a looting 3 sword. Then the game applies looting 3 to all the kills and we get that kinda drops out of our farms.
Kind of cool that you moved to an alternate timeline halfway through the episode lol, but seriously I hope everything goes well with your computer repairs!
I love using all the villager trades or most since the fisherman gives out free buckets of water that you can either use for drip stone or Lava buckets for the Armorer
On Bedrock, if you want to repair tools using mob dropped experience, hold the tool in an adjacent hand to your weapon, and switch to the tool after killing the mob but before the experience orbs reach you. Alternatively, if you're using a mob farm that requires one hit kills, you can also just use the tool to make that hit.
I’m mainly a bedrock player, and we actually use these things called trident killers that allow us to afk and still get experience for most farms but this method is still def good

This has been my favourite Minecraft series for several years now and I'm glad to see it continue! I do hope your PC gets fixed soon!
Been playing on bedrock for a few years. Once you get villager trading going, it's probably the best exp farm not just for the exp, but you have as large a variety of items to trade for as you have patients for. My setup has a few farmers for crop trading, then lots of librarians for all the enchanted books and paper trade(another easy auto farm). You can just go crazy after you get a flow of emeralds. Getting lots of clerics for lapis, redstone, glowstone and exp bottles is one of the best in my opinion. Lots to trade and you don't have to mine for those few things anymore, and its basically a double exp farm.(epx from trading and from bottles of exp)
Ngl, I just started opening minecraft again. And thought I should have a refresher course on playing it. And seeing your season 3 made me so happy. Thanks Pixlriffs.
In Java you can repair a bow with the Infinity enchantment 3 or 4 times by using a plain bow. After that the XP cost is too much, and you'll have to craft a new one.
You can do it infinitely by flipping the order.
Unenchanted + infinity = same level requirement everytime.
You will need to rename the bow if you want to keep the name though.
The good news for Bedrock players is that it seems Mojang haven't given up on off-hand parity yet.
I forgot their names, but a few snapshots ago, some advanced Bedrock mapmakers found a new setting that allowed them to use all kinds of tools from the off-hand with a modpack.
No clue when/if this will actually get added to the main vanilla game, though.
Watching you hop back to your house in the first couple minutes with the mountain in the distance and the huge valley ahead of you it really is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see what you fill it up with.
I always love to see your vdos pix.
Being honest rn.
I mean I have watched the s1 a long time ago and ofc there are times I end up not playing Minecraft in a long while.
But I did watch a lot of the s2 before I left and when I returned this time I found s3 it's really awesome.
I am so happy to be having this vdos from you and I hope to get them future on too,keep up the good work man!
Love from Bangladesh!
They have been working on adding offhand. Not only that but they have added crouching under one-and-a-half and the ability to crawl in a one block hole through their experimental stuff( forgot what it's called lol)
14:18 There we have the heart particles fromm villagers breeding in the background. I think you didn't mention that villagers still try too breed when they have enough food even if there a no more free beds. They will produce little thundercloud particles while trying to breed and use up the food anyways. So if you see these thunderclouds particles and you want more villagers place some more beds.
Bedrock Users: You can repair mending items by swapping them into your hand before you consume the XP bubbles. If you hotkey ANY item with mending, you can swap it in immediately after killing things to repair any item even when that item cannot perform the action that creates the XP.
To mend silk touch tools on Bedrock, it’s easiest if you have them in a slot right next to your weapon/ fortune tool so you can switch to it before you pick up the XP orbs.
This captures the vibe of being in a museum so well, it makes me really want to visit a real one soon.
Villagers can summon iron golems when 'panicking' (e.g. after seeing a zombie), but they can also summon them when gossiping, if they haven't 'seen' an iron golem within 16 blocks in the past 30 seconds. So, a large number of iron golems may appear in a large village where the villagers and iron golems can spread out over a large area. Fewer iron golems may appear in a small or otherwise compact village where the villagers are frequently near an iron golem. It may be possible to stop the summoning of iron golems by keeping one penned near the area where villagers gather to 'gossip'. Villagers exhibit a number of different interesting behaviors that Pixlriffs may review later. The village children in particular engage in some entertaining antics, especially when there are more than one of them.
Holy cow there is so much to this game and learn. I am lost half the time and don't know what to do. Playing with my 21-year-old son, well, he kills it playing this game for his entire life. LOL, but nevertheless, I can't thank you enough and hopefully I can surprise my son when he gets back from the Philippines.
Good Luck! I started playing when my kids were young 5&6 I wanted to know what was going on since they wanted to play with others online. I wanted to meet with new players and chat with their parents like I would in real life. They had a safe worlds to play in and I could monitor whenever I needed to. I have learned so much from Pixel Riffs Guides over the years. I’m 55 now and still playing and learning as are my adult children. Best wishes in surprising your son!
1:07 as a bedrock edition player, I often use this simple trident killer gold farm, in which you do not have to swing at the mobs and they are killed by pistons being pushed by a trident! Also, smelting.
thx pix - i learned that a nitwit can also be used to breed villagers... thats something that i thought wouldnt work... nice episode and go on like that!
It's been a while since I've done this - it works great - I am going to redo this on my new area - maybe make a trading area with the new beds. Yup. :-) I am really enjoying just taking my time, enjoying doing this again! Keep up the good works. I was really disappointned when you didn't do a new survival guide. I just happened to see one of your new ones on my home page. Yipeeee! :-) Granny Lee
Great introduction to basic village management.
I like this particular village. It was very easy enough to terraform into a cat farm. You can easily get the 10 out of 11 cats tamed for the 'A Complete Catalouge' achievement here. I tried this with one of the desert villages and it is quite a bit more challenging due to terrain. lmango's guide on a Peaceful String Farm will detail the mechanisms of generating cats, which is surprisingly caused by the player and not the villagers (just their beds.)
I also like having a variety of trades at this village. I built wattle's in-ocean early-game raid farm nearby. So this is a great place to stand around and get free loot from Hero of the Village. Or to just spend a bunch of raid farm emeralds for fun.
One issue in the video is the food amounts. A villager in Java only needs 12 food "points" or having recently traded with a player to breed. Bread has 4 points but everything else, carrots and wheat included, are just 1 point. Trading to lock in professions will get you up to the villager limit on a small number of beds just as well as locally sourced food.
To bootstrap a village, I use a 9x9 wheat field with three farmers. I use wheat because of the seeds and ability to make bread or wheat bales. Fast access to wheat means local breeding of cows and sheep for trade-able meat and more beds. And easy taming or breeding of trader llamas that will spawn with a certain common solicitor. Beetroot is nearly useless in-game with bonemealing two-tall roses for red dye. Carrots are useful if you have a gold farm or access to bundles and rabbits.
Farmers will turn seeds dropped into the world into bonemeal at a compost bin if there is no place to plant the seeds. Farmers will pickup bonemeal and use on crops, This speeds up farming by quite a lot. Bees flying over is the only way to make that even faster. Farmers will continuously feed other villagers by trading them any crops they harvest making the wheat farm an auto-breeder setup.
Looking forward with the loom video :)
Tried throwing bread, beets, carrots and potatoes at my GF to get her in the mood but strangely enough she only got mad! We do have extra beds so now I’m confused! 🤔
Make sure that the neighbors aren’t looking.
On bedrock edition, you can actually get nit-wit villagers by breeding. I just cured two zombie villagers the other day and started breeding them and I have already gotten two to three nit-wits from them. Am absolutely loving season three, I am following along each episode, can't wait to start making some automatic farms. Take care Pix.
Further tips for mending on bedrock:
-Trident killer mob farm (very easy)
(the only benefit of holding a sword is if you use looting 3 because the trident that is killing the mobs counts as a player kill.)
-Killing 1-2 mobs then switch to your silk touch pick axe, It's enough time for the xp to not reach you
-mine quartz ore from as far away as you can (5-8 ores and switch to your tool you wish to be mended before the xp reaches you)
For bedrock mending, if your mob grinder ends on a bottom half slab you can place a top trap door just outside of the grinder and stand 1 block away. (Must be almost against a block 2 blocks separated from mob chute. Can place flush trap door to stand against and still not collect xp.) The XP will be trapped behind the trap door giving a chance to build up xp, swap weapons, and then do significant repairs.
I also believe nitwits can be born I bedrock as well.
You also need 3 air blocks above each breeding villager's bed in order for them to breed successfully.
How nostalgic it must be to do a second run through of the survival guide. To take all your expertise and create a guide for the “modern era” of Minecraft 😊

Also are you going to build a small town for these players you created? That would be something I would love to see and learn how to do. Thank you again for this episode.
Pix is a friendly type of guy which I love about him
It's better to put a composter inside the ground (that is, leveled with the ground). A farmer can access it this way, but he and other villagers won't be able to trample the crops.
I'm amazed how the world gen creates villages that are BOUND to die out, because the terrain is riddled with holes, some houses are on high, steep cliffs and there are other dangers like cacti or lava lakes. You play for some time, go back to the village for something and... "Where is everyone?"
Would you ever do a tutorial video about the options menu and talk about the accessibility settings and what they mean and also how you keep your settings? Another topic for the same tutorial could be about the video settings tab and explaining in detail what they mean exactly, as the vanilla experience doesn't explain for instance what "view bobbing" means. Go over the controls and all the keybinds, for example mention the pick block keybind and show what it does. another thing could be showing all of the quick actions you can do in your inventory with the shift key and like hitting a number on your keyboard to swap what your hovering over with what's in that number slot in your hotbar. the buttons for taking screenshots, toggling your cinematic camera, changing your perspective, and swaping and item with the one in your off hand. Just things that even I do when i play every day that I don't realize that maybe everyone doesn't know how to do. Love the work that your doing! Thanks for making these videos that I can show my younger brother to help him learn about minecraft.
I did videos about this stuff at the beginning of Survival Guide Season 2! There have only been a few small changes to accessibility settings since then, so I didn’t remake those videos. You can still find them at the beginning of the season 2 playlist
What I noticed is that the Toolsmith, if he sells pickaxes & hoes at the very beginning, for example, later on, as a master, he also sells exactly this in diamond variants.
In this way, you can already decide at the beginning which diamond tools you would like to have later.
• *•* •
For Diamond Pickaxe, Shovel, Axe & Hoe, you only need two Toolsmith Villagers.
This is not always true, sadly. My first toolsmith on this seed had picks and hoes at stone-tier as the first trades then only offered axes and shovels at diamond tier. I still don't have a toolsmith offering "free" diamond hoes, yet. Lots of choices on shovels, though.

So maybe I've had just luck.

I’ve never had a video having me think more than this one that “I’m the nitwit villager aren’t I” 😅 lol! Small little diss on myself that I found funny
In Java if you find a skeleton spawner you can have dog kill the skeletons for you and get the experience. If this also works in bedrock this could be another way to fix your silk touch tools.
I REMEMBER THE FIRST EVER SURVIVAL GUIDE AND IT ALWAYS BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES D;
In bedrock edition, some of us use trident killers to repair everything with mending. Great contraptions that you can use to get exp orbs while AFK
For the bedrock players out there: you have the ability to make what's known as a trident killer in your mob farm that will automatically kill mobs and get you XP, so you can hold any tool in your main hand to repair it. Enjoy!
On bedrock the easiest way to repair gear is to install a Trident killer in one's mine farm. Trident killers only work in bedrock and are fantastic
If you're playing on bedrock and have a strong xp farm -like say an enderman farm- you can swipe with your sword, and then switch to another item in the bar, the xp balls take quite a bit to get into your character, which means most of it is gonna go into the tool you switched to
Great video and very informative. Now I know what everyone does I'm going to redesign my village layout.
Such a brilliant series!
For bedrock players, a good way to get exp for mending is a trident killer on a spawner farm (I use a skeleton spawner, or a blaze is even better. Silentwhisper has a good farm design). Hold whatever tool you want while the trident killer kills the mobs, you still get the credit for the kill.
Trident killers are not that difficult to make, and blaze farms are so much simpler on bedrock so it's worth it to do it fairly early game.
If you have a decent villager trading setup, disenchanting high level books is a great way to get quick XP on bedrock for your tools etc.
Although the best way is to set up a portal based gold farm with a trident killer.
Thank you so much for such a great kid friendly content! My 7 yr old and I love watching your videos. We cant wait to watch more. We are curious what setting you play in. Are you in peaceful mode?
This series is played in Normal difficulty, and I’ll be switching to Hard later in the series. I just sleep when night falls, so I don’t encounter too many monsters on the surface!
My son is 10 and I'm dredging the day he starts to question minecraft villagers breeding 😂😂😂
I always place the composter at least 2 blocks from any planted crops, this keeps the villagers from dropping on top of them and ruining the planted crop. I also try to flatten the crop area so they don't drop down on planted crops.
I'm really enjoying this. Thank you.
On bedrock you can use a trident killer to help mend a silk touch tool (or any tool)
I have a nitwit in my villager breeder in my single player world LOL. I was like.... well if you are not gonna contribute to anything else, here is a job you WILL be willing to do :P
Oh nice! I was trying to build this yesterday!
On bedrock any mob farm with a trident killer is good for mending equipment while afk
Ah, chatting with the local Nitwit while the kid's grow up. What memories.
Trident killers are a great form of mob farm xp on bedrock edition, the game thinks its a player kill even though the trident its being pushed in a loop by pistons, also means players get the looting effect by holding a looting 3 sword.
Looting 2 is max isn't it ?
@@bleh-zj1hynope, goes up to looting 3, basically the sword equivalent of fortune 3
@@bleh-zj1hy 2 is quite a rare maximum. It only applies to Fire Aspect (affecting burn duration) and Frost Walker (affecting the freezing radius). All protection enchantments (including feather falling) maxing out at level 4, and everything else is either 1, 3, or 5 levels maximum. On Java edition the enchantments with only a single level won't show the number.
@@TheRealWormbo Punch and Knockback also have a max enchant level of 2, along with Piercing being a max level of 4.
@@TheRealWormbo and here i was thinking i finally enchanted every tool including one trident and armor to their max potential, i got looting after so much difficulty and now i think i threw away the two looting 1 books i kept cuz i already got looting 2 on a new book so here i go again 😪
Hmm how odd, your not the only TH-camr who has talked about computer crashes in the last couple of days, seems like quite a few ppl are suddenly having them??
Letz gooo another ep!
Bedrock might not have off hand tools, but we have trident killers which means we can heal whatever is in our main hand and don't need to sit holding a sword to hit mobs
I will say for Bedrock I'm almost sure villager children can grow up to be nitwits. They might have fixed this but it's definitely happened to me in the past.
On bedrock edition, players have invented a device called "trident killers" where a bunch of pistons throw a trident around to kill mobs in a mob grinder and that drops xp, so you can use that to mend your tools on bedrock
3 seasons and im still learning new things. I never knew nitwits couldn't be obtained through breeding. Is this the same for bedrock?
I think in bedrock you can get nitwits through breeding
Yes they can, and you won't know until they grow up.
If you want to get rid of them without angering a golem, bring a lava bucket.
Yay new episode!!!!!!! Big fan.
In bedrock you can also smack mobs with the tool. Yes it takes ages, but it works. As for nitwits, in bedrock they can mature into nitwits unfortunately. Makes trade halls harder to finish.
Rather than penning in animals, I wish they had their own feed troughs. Imagine you could come and regularly restock a feed trough and the animals reproduce. They stay in the general vicinity of the feed trough and are not needed to be penned in. Like a workstation for Pigs, sheep, cows, and chickens.
So the trade off for bedrock edition players is we can build trident killers. This allows us to kill the mob without needing to use the item in our hand to do so. As a result, we can have that doing the work while we simply hold whatever we want to repair
somthing i wanna coment on from like 9 min in; on bedrock edition there's a 10% chance for baby villagers to turn into nitwits. the time i got 4 baby villagers while trying to get a glass trader and all of them became nitwits is when i knew i needed to get java edition
Looking forward to the iron farm, the tool/armor and weapon smiths are my go to for emerald trading
Seeing the collection of workstations reminded me that of all the dozens of villages I’ve encountered in my travels, I don’t recall seeing a single smithing table spawned naturally. Are these not part of village generation at all, or simply very rare?
After checking my game notes (I keep detailed logs of my travels), I found that they are indeed rare; I only found about 4 of them in the 86 villages I’ve cataloged.
If you play on bedrock trading with villagers mends your tools pretty quick or you can build farms using trident killers....
And all the villagers are standing around wondering just who the strange man is talking to.
I know this is a year old video and no one will see this, but I AM having a good day. Thank you Pixlriffs
Love the series! Just wondering: would it be possible to somehow promote the nitwit to mayor. Like equipping him with black leather armor and nametag him? I know that you can equip them, but I don't know if it can be done that it is also visible.
Armor doesn't render on villagers, so sadly, no. Mainly because their bodies are different sized. Imagine how silly a helmet would look!
Neat idea. I play bedrock and equiping villagers with armor via dispensers is possible. Warning though, if they can't pick up items dispensing items onto zombies does not prevent them from despawning
@@imperfectimpthey render on zombie villagers tho?
As a Bedrock player myself to mend my pick axe, I hit with my sword and then swap to an adjacent tool whilst the XP floats towards me...
In bedrock if you have a fish farm you can disenchant the trash bows/rods to repair your mending tools
If you’re placing beds indoors while breeding villagers, make sure there are two full blocks of headroom over the bed. Baby villagers need to be able to jump on the beds!
In Bedrock, will villagers despawn? I ran through a village with a handful of villagers before finding an area for basecamp about 100 blocks away. I made sure to sleep before mobs could spawn. After fully building my site and had enough items to trade, I went back to the village and it was empty. I checked everywhere and they've all vanished
The nitweed sleeps here under the stars :D
Another way to mend in bedrock is to throw Bottles o' Enchanting down a hole with ladders deep enough that you don't collect the orbs then switch to the tool and go down the hole.
But a mega furnace is prob the easiest.
Pick up the egg, pick up the egg, pick up the egg! 😂
In case of Bedrock and mob farms you can always use a trident killer. All the XP will just go to the right hand weapon.
Bedrock edition tip: Use a trident killer to grind mobs into xp. Guardians work very well.
Leveling a villager's profession always results in a baby if there is an empty bed. I usually dump a bucket of lava on a nitwit while he sleeps.
I just noticed something:
I think it would be nice for new (and even old) players, to know, how long you actually tok, for the progress you made in an episode. Because it often feels, like what you do will take 20min, and it's frustrating when you realize, that it takes hours sometimes, to reach those points.
FYI If you have commands enabled, you can create a bow with infinity and mending
Yeah but you can enchant anything with commands. You can put Knockback II on a fish if you’re using commands. This is a guide to survival mode
I find I can just sneak step back a couple of steps from a cave spider farm and the xp just accumulates so I can just change to tools in need of mending and step forward to apply the xp
Nitwit's working station used to be anvils... But after being bonked once too often they can't work anymore.
