Farzy – BEST Building Tips With NEW 1.17 BLOCKS!!! – Minecraft Survival [Ep 242]

I spy an ugly villager or two ladies gentlemen we are officially in the 1.17 era new blocks new features so much new stuff here i am back in my five-year-old survival world and i actually got a few of the new blocks already on a live stream which by the way was super duper

Fun but now today i want to cover some amazing building tips using the new blocks in 1.17 so first and foremost my favorite block to use so far is moss and all this lush cave stuff i think the moss looks amazing next to grass so for

Example if you have like a little grass patch like i do right here spice it up get some moss down bone meal it and we get even more moss we get some moss carpet and maybe even can i get one there we go an azalea bush

This is like my new favorite way to decorate my areas with like nature stuff i usually like nature builds anyways but the moss is just the cherry on top new stuff new blocks and by the way if you bone meal those little bonsai trees you get these new azalea trees with amazing

Flowering leaves they’re beautiful so yeah first and foremost today i want to get some moss around this kingdom in as many places as i can fit it so just like in these open grass areas that’s kind of empty and bland throw some of this down and oh my goodness things look so much

More lively and amazing and if i bone meal this guy right here look at that a weirdly very weirdly shaped tree is that a bug why is that so weird anyways carrying on using these little azalea tree thingies i actually want to make a little garden with these like you see

Over here i have like a little small garden for certain kinds of flowers and like berries why don’t we try making one for these little tree things i guess it kind of looks like berries growing on a little bush so that would be like the most sensible thing to make you know

What maybe right even here right where this new tree is just put a bunch of bonsai trees i keep going the bonsai trees they’re not called that they’re called azaleas but i’m gonna call them bonsai trees because they look like that but put some more of these guys around

This tree and kind of have this be like a bonsai tree garden sprinkle some of these leaves around here too and take a look at this cute little garden here i got some little cobblestone and andesite rail around here we got moss a bunch of azalea and i might even

You know what i’ll keep the tree i was thinking i might delete the tree and just have all little bonsai trees in here but you know what i kind of do like it so i’d call this a success next up i want to talk about candles now honestly

I don’t have many ideas for where candles should go but one place in particular i like them is in my library near bookshelves in like little cozy areas like this where it really fits the mood nicely now you see i placed those candles there during my stream which was

A lot of fun but now i actually don’t know where to place the rest of these candles i mean i could make a lot more obviously but there’s just so so so many torches in my world that i couldn’t put candles in all these places it would just be too much work so

For now i’m not gonna put too many candles around the place but maybe on like a table over here would this work no ah rip but at the very least put them on like some barrels or some workstations like this and then light it up and there a little bit of extra decor

Around your world side note really soon i’m gonna have to overhaul this whole chess storage room i’m getting really tight on space and i have one set of chests here for 1.17 blocks which is going to fill up very fast so i got to figure out a new system for sorting

Things enough complaining though let’s continue on with our guide talking about building this time using drip stone now i am most certainly gonna have to go mining for more of this stuff because i legit have like none of it i am so so poor when it comes to drip stone but

With the few pieces i did have i actually made some cool stalactites or it’s like mites what do you call this when it’s going down i don’t know but over here is my mining area this is like my archaeological dig site where i mine for bones and for new kinds of oars and

Whatnot and look at this some drip stone hanging from the roof isn’t that amazing i love how that looks and i believe when the pointed drip stone drips water down if there’s a drip stone block below it it can actually form more of these stalagmite stalactite whatever things

I’ll just call it pointed drip stone but the point is we can actually get more doing this method so i might go make a farm for this like a little small farm but uh yeah i want some more of this because it looks awesome so that being

Said i want to go mining i want to go exploring and i want to go find more of these new blocks so i can build more stuff so right here is my handy dandy journal that has all my coordinates inside of it for cool places and i actually have somewhere around here

Amethyst geode right over here and i think there’s a second geode here and also in these geode areas there’s also big caves for like other kinds of blocks like you know drip stone and deep slate and all the fun stuff so let’s go for a

Little bit of a trip no way they finally did it they added fireworks to the automatic crafting menu thank you thank you mo shang if you guys use fireworks you might have known for the longest time you had to manually place paper and gunpowder in the grid yourself it wasn’t

On the uh whatever this thing is called the the green book thingy but now it is and i’m so happy and we take off off to find the geode hey is the coral reef here this is new let me just mark these coordinates really fast that’ll be

Helpful for a future project welp it just hit me i went the wrong way f in chat literally went the exact wrong direction that is incredible all right i’ll be back shortly all right hold the phone i was on my way back and i think i

Found the geode this is this yep this is a geode wow that is incredible timing all right a geode hello how are we doing this is so close to my house it’s only like 2 000 blocks away wow okay that’s helpful well in the meantime give me

Amethyst thank you please got a bunch of ripe babies oh that he wasn’t ripe dang it i’m gonna save these coordinates as well and for these underwater geodes my favorite way to mark these things is to use a pillar of some kind of normal block then at the top put down some

Amethyst and cover that bad boy in torches and there you go easy reminder there’s an amethyst geode down below that also could mean these underwater caves could hold some new features inside of them maybe possibly no okay ooh copper don’t mind if i do i’m definitely gonna want copper for

Today because i also have a really cool idea for building using copper wait did you see a goat goats hello i haven’t seen you guys yet hey hey guys oh that’s so awesome don’t kill me please guys i had like a two hour stream the other day when the update

First came out and i literally could not find goats for the life of me i’m so happy oh it’s snowing too if i can find some iron i can actually get some powdered snow as well back to the mine i go hello mr emerald how you doing yeah

If you guys didn’t know the only way to get powdered snow in minecraft right now is to have a cauldron fill up with snow from a snowstorm this is a perfect opportunity right now i want to take you guys home wish i had a lead right now goat mountain

Whoa you just rammed a guy what’s your issue all right we have our cauldron let’s place this thing down and see will i get powdered snow fast nothing yet nothing yet as i wait i’m trying to get these guys to ram me so i can place a

Block and hopefully get a goat horn off them do it do it do it do it oh all right this is taking too long i’m gonna leave this beef for now and i’ll come back another day i i’m sure it works i’m just impatient so i’m

Gonna go back home all right we’re back home and now as i kind of mentioned earlier i want to work on building with copper i already started smelting stuff and crafting stuff but as you can see these copper blocks look really really good they’re kind of annoying to get

Because i gotta get more but they would make an amazing block for a roof so there’s my next tip try using copper as a roof block so to prove this theory i’m actually gonna make a brand new building with a copper trimmed roof but to do

That i also need more copper i didn’t have enough to make much of anything so i’m gonna go on a big mining trip i’ll be right back i also had to turn down my render distance a lot because for some reason 1.17 is really really laggy i

Have optifine too really strange so my kingdom’s right there out this way in the ocean i actually saw some glow lichen on the way back home so maybe like we might have some new caves right down here possibly maybe i don’t know there’s an axolotl right here alright so

I guess there is some new stuff around here that’s cool we’re right next to the kingdom that’s great it’s a mine shaft down here okay hello that’s good to find oh more mine shaft hello hello oh my goodness oh my diet hold on put my lighter on are my armor on oh

Oh okay okay we’re good we’re good i’m scared hello strange creature i’ll take your ink sack i really can’t tell if this is a new cave or not because we’re getting the new mop spawning in here but i’m not seeing any copper which is what i need

Look at that it’s a yellow axolotl it’s leo leo leo you’ve returned from the hardcore series welcome back he’s been reincarnated into my world what a great love story i now have a new adventure buddy this is sweet alright i found some new stuff which means we’re probably

Close to copper right now there we go copper ow pain go away well unfortunately i did think i was closer to the newer chunks i guess i’m not i’m still like 2 000 blocks out so it’s still kind of a trick to get out here but you know what can’t complain i need

Copper to build so give me all right we’re back home i have some copper i probably should have gotten more but i really just couldn’t find a lot unfortunately so i’ll do what i can today and the rest will do another day or on stream or something like that but

Most importantly right now i need to go and name leo i’m bestowing upon him my very last name tag that’s right i am all out besides this so leo you’re worth it man you’re worth it and i’ll put him over here in this pawn next to his good

Friend theo what’s up theo how you doing and there is leo leo and theo the best of friends oh it’s good to have you back man i missed you leo so that being said here i am in a separate creative world i’m actually going to practice building

With copper i honestly just didn’t feel like i’d get enough done today in the episode so i wanted to actually show you guys some building at least even if it’s in creative mode but just so you get the idea of what i’m talking about but for the house i wanted to use blackstone

Like this have like a black stone trim like a cobble black zone interior something like this so here’s a cool little black stone house now for the roof i use cobble just as like an example of a basic looking roof but what if we put some copper around the trim of

This thing so like around the edge of the roof just line this in copper and like look at this now i’m not saying copper works well with cobblestone and maybe it doesn’t i haven’t really thought about it too much yet but just having this nice like orange accent

Looks really cool there’s not many orange blocks in the game right now that you can make like stairs out of so this is a really really good option like obviously we have all this like acacia wood stuff but this has like a shiny glint and probably my favorite part

About this is as you might know it weathers over time so let’s say i change the random tick speed to like 100 you’ll actually see how fast it’ll weather but slowly and surely it changes colors maybe let’s go a little bit higher how about 300 will it change in front of my

Eyes 700 come on do something oh there we go look at that it’s slowly turning and changing into this like nice teal color and over time you have a totally new kind of roof and this right here is the exact reason why i want to use

Copper in my builds from now on or at least as much as i can because it tells a story these blocks it shows you how old the build is it shows you how old your world is i just think it’s a really really cool property so that being said

Here’s my example now let’s go try to build this in my survival world not this exact house but something like this so i have a whopping four blocks and 16 stairs for copper not a lot but again we’re just gonna start this build also why are you guys on the roof

What are you guys doing okay carrying on so since this is our first build using copper i am actually gonna build a really small house and i have just the place for it there’s a little plot over here that needs some small buildings so right in front of the forest to our

Science lab we actually have these cyan wool plots for future houses and right here is a tiny little cute house which could be a perfect place to make a small copper build so i’m gonna make an absolutely tiny but adorable stone brick cobblestone and copper house and here we

Go the copper house is just about done well not fully done but done for today on the back side over here there’s no copper plates because this is all we had but the front actually doesn’t look half bad now it is a really small house so it

Might look a little bit cramped but i think it came out nice the inside’s nice and plain and basic but i just wanted to practice building with copper and i think it looks nice in a perfect world i’d want a much bigger building like something like that size over there but

Again not enough copper so for now this will do but i like it but yeah guys for today that’s gonna be about it for me i honestly hope you enjoyed today’s video it wasn’t like a normal one like usually things are a lot more structured and i

Know exactly what i want to do but today i was kind of all over the place just like testing things out so i hope you enjoyed it but of course before i end the episode i gotta do what i always do which is getting the comment of the day
