Mind-Blowing Moss Block Tricks! – Minecraft Survival LP

Today we are going to be doing some landscaping on my base and we’re going to be using some moss blocks to start off i’m going to need some bone meal because bone meal is useful for everything i have a good amount of bone meal in here i have a shocker box worth

And a little bit extra that should be enough but i need more bone meal i need some kind of bone meal farm this is a really easy farm to build all you need is composters chest and hoppers and then you need an item to compost in the composter so the item i’ve chosen

Is cactus and you can see i have four double chests and a little bit extra of cactus originally what i was using cactus for was to smelt it to get green dye and you also get a good amount of experience which is useful at the beginning of the game

But unfortunately at this point i have a trident farm and i also have a villager trading hall that i can get xp from so i don’t really have a use for cactus at the moment so with cactus it is a 50 chance when you put it in the composter to increase

The combo’s level by one it goes up to level seven then when it reaches level seven it reaches level eight and produces one piece of bone meal on average it takes 14 pieces of cactus to produce one piece of bone meal for this farm i have two options where to build it

One is in my base in one of these empty rooms option de is to build it underground near my cactus farm option ick would require me to actually filter out the cactus from the other items in my storage system option dose is easier as i don’t have to filter out the cactus

From everything else i’m going with option knee because it’s easier i mean lazy don’t judge me so if i remember correctly under the cactus farm i actually have a giant space so if there is still this space looks like there’s enough space down here i can just build the farm

Under the cactus farm which makes it a lot easier so here is the bonemeal farm so i just want to point out a couple things about this so the first thing is that you can put items into the composter the hopper has to be above the composter pointing into it

And also the hoppers have to be underneath the composter to pick up the items so you can’t have a hopper pointing into the side that will not work the other thing i completely forgot about is that bone meal cannot be put into a dispenser and it won’t drop as an item

When you put it into the dispenser so i can’t put it into the upward bubble column the way i have it set up right now so right now it’s just going to go into these chests and collect now that that is done let’s talk about the plan involving

Landscaping so here’s the rough idea for the landscaping i’m going to be using flowering azaleas azaleas flowering azalea leaves azalea leaves allium lilac and purple tulips most of these you can get through the moss block the exceptions are purple tulips allium and lilac lilac doesn’t matter as using bone meal on lilac

Will produce another lilac to find these i need to find a flower forest so looking at the map i remember there’s two specific spots where there’s flower forest one is around the icebergs over here but i can’t remember if it’s around here or somewhere over here it could be even

Further down and the other spot i know there’s a flower forest is around the mushroom island here it’s right north of here right over here getting to the flower forest was actually pretty easy i was anticipating it being a bit difficult because the chunk reset has been a little weird with nether portals

But the flower forest ended up being right next to the nether portal i should just explain with flower forest there’s a specific way that flowers generate each block only generates one specific flower when foam nail is used also the flowers generate around each other as i’m trying to find allium

It is possible to find a patch of allium together flowers and other biomes generate differently some have patches with tulips and all the other flowers some are just random based on the flowers that grow there if you want to do a flower farm to get dye you should probably look at the best

Options but in this case i just need to find some allium and pink tulips pink tulips not purple tulips i only need maybe two stacks but it would be nice to have more so i found this spot that grows allium you can see one flower there

Of course it grows a lot of grass and tall grass but if i keep applying foam meal to this spot i can keep getting allium flowers and i found this spot where i can do white tulips over here and pink tulips over here so i have all the flowers that i need

Well not all the flowers i still need to get some from the moss blocks but i have allium pink tulips white tulips i also have a peony and i have lilacs back at my base now i get to do the fun part which is using moss blocks

So to do this i want to find an island it really doesn’t matter where it is but i’m weird so here i am on my island close to my creeper farm so i have my shears i have my bone meal i have way more bone meal than anybody

Needs and i have moss blocks so all i gotta do is here’s some moss blocks already and i just apply bone meal and you can see azaleas some grass and some moss carpet and i just gotta keep doing this to get more flowering azaleas and azaleas while i’m

Doing this i’m just gonna remind you of the numbers when you use bone meal on moss blocks there is a three by three to seven by seven area that is affected and can turn into moss blocks there is a wide variety of blocks that can be changed into moss blocks there are exceptions

Like sand blocks and gravel blocks when you use bone meal on moss blocks there is a 50 chance of grass 25 for moss carpet 10 for tall grass 10 percent for azalea and 5 for flowering azalea azaleas flowering azaleas moss carpet can be broken by hand and don’t require shears

If you want flowering azalea leaves and acelia leaves or an azalea tree you will have to use bone meal on an azalea or flowering azalea flowering azalea leaves and azalea leaves are the same as leaves just when they decay or break they may drop azaleas and flowering azaleas as

Saplings one big thing is in the 1.17 update there are no other ways to get these than through the moss block when the 1.18 update happens they can be found in the lush cave biome but there is no lush cave biome yet so now to do the exact same thing but

For the azalea tree so put the azalea down apply the bone meal bam azalea tree you can see the flowering azalea leaves the azalea leaves in here there is the oak log and under here you can see the rooted dirt block now i just gotta shear this thing

It took me a bit to get the amount of leaves i need for this project it’s going to be a lot of leaves so here are all the shocker boxes of the stuff i got so i still have a ton of bonemeal in here i have a lot of moss carpet that i’ll

Probably just leave aside until i need it for something there is a lot of azalea leaves and a lot less flowering azaleas but there are five stacks which i hope is enough for this then you have flowering azaleas and azaleas and a lot of random blocks and

All the flowers i got from the flower forest and then i have a ton of grass so one thing i want to explain is how you get hanging roots so right now in the game there is no way to get hanging roots except through rooted dirt blocks

So in the 1.18 update it will be available in the lush cave biome right now when you apply bone meal to rooted dirt hanging roots will grow at the bottom when there’s a free space below so basically you will shear it to get it like that you can also use a hoe on

Rooted dirt to drop the brooded the hanging roots and it’ll turn it into a dirt block before i do the landscaping i just need to explain another part of this i thought the platform was a bit too much sandstone as you can tell over here

So i thought i wanted to break it up with something a bit different so you can see there’s chiseled red sandstone at the bottom orange terracotta and cut red sandstone with acacia fences and lanterns on each end and then there will be sandstone stairs on the sides

Just to break up the texture a bit i probably should have checked if i had enough of that stuff to do this and it looks like i have no acacia wood or fences in my chest it doesn’t look like i have enough red sand either it does look like i have

Enough orange terracotta though so that’s nice at least that is a conundrum is that the right word i went and tried to gather some of these materials so i chopped down some acacia trees and the savannah nearby i got to use my efficiency 5 shovel

On some red sand now i have the supplies it is time to do the landscaping so let’s start by putting down the chiseled red sandstone then next is the orange terracotta and then the red cut sandstone and for a little flavoring let’s throw some acacia fences on top and

A lantern on each end for some lighting to prevent the mobs from constantly spawning on that platform and next we throw some sandstone stairs on the side for a bit of texture and i want to try some sandstone blocks to see if this works i think that definitely looks a lot better than

If i just had some smooth stance smooth sandstone on the sides here so now we get to do the landscaping so my tendency is to do everything the exact same so i’m just going to randomly place blocks and see how it works so let’s throw some flowering sales i really like this leaf

The flower in the middle looks pretty good so let’s throw a flowering azalea there let’s throw some azalea leaves over here let’s put a lilac in the back maybe another peony there and then some white tulips around and how about some allium here and

A pink tulip so it’s a bit busy but i kind of like that and it’s just playing around and seeing what works so let’s take a look at the landscaping i think it looks pretty good i think it works well with the color palette that i have

For the rest of the base i mean it’s pink and purple with green and it doesn’t conflict too much with that so i think this looks pretty good definitely add something now i just have to add more on the outside here so the landscaping didn’t take that long

So i did a couple other things so the first thing was i added this bridge from my base basically it just will look cooler when i’m walking to my base over this bridge i also couldn’t help myself so i did some work on my base and what i did was i basically pushed

All the walls back so what this means is now there is an elevator that goes down for my base at the center this is more convenient because then i can just walk into my base and then go down to the mine i also unfortunately had to get rid of the auto

Smelter to move the walls back so i’m gonna have to build that again i’ve also pushed back all the walls on the second level this means that i can now double my storage so now i can put storage on this side that side and that side and also

Because i push the walls back so much there’s a giant space in the middle here where i can put more storage and there’s more even over here the reason i need so much storage is i just have too many items now and also with the 1.17 update this means that i have

Things like copper glowberries amethyst shards blocks of amethyst smooth basalt all this stuff needs a storage slot i think that is enough for today’s episode so i thank you guys for watching
