Here’s the BEST Way to Build Underwater in Minecraft

Since the update aquatic building underwater is basically like a thing you gotta do okay it’s like a pilgrimage in minecraft one day you gotta get down there and build something under the sea and there is some really really cool techniques that you can use in order to

Pull this off so let’s head underwater and let me give you a few tips that you should keep in mind if you start a build under the sea so here we are inside of minecraft this is my minecraft realm and i have built a little area under the

Water for us to explore and have some fun and this brings me to our first tip which i’m gonna do a lot of this in survival just to kind of show you that this is all easy to do in survival mode without being in creative and just

Floating around all the time and the first technique that i would suggest to you guys is to use bubble columns somewhere in your build especially if you’re under water for a long amount of time these bubble columns are fantastic because they can give you extra oxygen the bubbles not only will either push

You to the top of the surface quickly so you don’t have to actually swim all the way over there and obviously using sprint will help you move faster but they can also pull you down and give you that oxygen sweet sweet oxygen oh my gosh and be aware that yes there are

Meanies under the water and i probably need some armor on if i’m going to deal with them i am going to give myself some food and another weapon just in case this happens again but as you can see my little hidey hole here actually used soul sand instead of the magma cubes

Both of these can be achieved and uh got acquired acquired that’s the word i wanted they can both be got in the nether and the magma will pull you down and the soul sand will push you up you’ve got to be kidding me where the heck is this guy what the heck

Oh my atlanta really what you need to deal with these guys is a shield because their tridents are so powerful be aware that drowned will spawn constantly if there are normal zombies around and also if there happened to be ocean ruins around they will also spawn as well as if there’s

Just darkness in the water it’s taking me forever to get through this tip but basically use bubble columns to your advantage so that you can catch a breath under the water if you are on a magma cube sort of situation thing here make sure you hold down shift whenever you

Get on it otherwise you will take that fire damage so can i not there we go there we go i’m just normally walking if you hold down shift you don’t take any damage now that’s not true with the soul sand there’s no way to stop the acceleration up to the surface so you

Could create little air pockets for yourself until you are able to you know make something a little bit better which we’re about ready to get to so this is kind of a poor man’s option of keeping your breath stable while underwater now that gets annoying to

Always need to be worrying about it so next let’s talk about enchantments first off is your helmet enchantment and this is going to float up to the surface and two enchantments that you want to have are aqua affinity and respiration respiration is going to require a lot

More time between the times that you need to get extra breaths so now that i have a full respiration 3 helmet on you can see that my oxygen takes a lot longer to go down and i mean a lot a lot longer to go down aqua affinity is nice

Because that means that you can mine and break blocks just as fast as you can if you weren’t under water without aqua affinity it’s going to take longer for you to pick up blocks so if i take this off real fast you can see oh my gosh this is taking forever to

Pick up this one piece of sand but with aqua affinity it breaks just like a normal block would the other thing that i would suggest that you have before you start building underwater is depth strider 3 that is all that is on these boots because that means that once

You’re actually on the ground you can walk like normal like you would in the overworld so you can you can sprint when you swim but also if you’re just walking around it’s not going to bother you that you are underwater and it makes life a whole lot easier so that’s really what

You need before you start building now let’s get into a few building tips and the big one is sea pickles you are going to want to harvest a ton of sea pickles remember that you can get sea pickles from bone mealing on top of coral so if

You find coral put it under water bone meal it and you have a chance for some sea pickles to spawn keep in mind that that also needs to be done on top of coral if i just bone meal this single seed pickle here it’s never it’s never

Going to grow up you need to always do that on top of coral so you need to find some coral underwater harvest a little bit of it bring it back to your base and have basically a sea pickle farm in order to get more sea pickles sea pickles are awesome because they add

Light under the water the more sea pickles you have the more light that you get so even up here you can kind of see this extra light up here that’s because i have added sea pickles and of course we’re also getting a little bit closer

To the the surface here but mostly it is all of these sea pickles that you kind of hide within your build to add that extra bit of light but if you want to really take all of this to the extreme what you have to have is conduit and

Conduit power let’s just see you know this is what everything is without it we’re going to hit this thing right here it is activated and bam now that we have the conduit power everything is way brighter it’s basically full bright but for the ocean and you can see that we’re

On that last a little bit of oxygen that will not go down because conduit power gives us water breathing and it gives us basically night vision for under the water so having a conduit is going to be absolutely key if you are going to build under water this is what a conduit looks

Like how do you make one well first you have to find a heart of the sea those are found inside of treasure chests so you need to find a shipwreck inside of a shipwreck there’ll be a chance that there is a treasure map follow that treasure map to a treasure

Chest inside of a treasure chest there will be the heart of the sea heart of the sea you surround with these guys nautilus shells in a 3×3 crafting table and that will give you a conduit that conduit is a block that you place down inside of prismarine so you need to have

Some type of prismarine what i normally do early game to get prismarine is you find an ocean monument and instead of defeating all the elder guardians all you do is create a little block up for yourself and bring a lot of milk and constantly drink away the mining fatigue

So that you can harvest a whole bunch of prismarine and then just put the prismarine in this type of formation where you have a ring of prismarine in a it’s a five by five ring but really it’s a three inner so just remember that this conduit needs the block for the conduit

And a space around it and then make rings in all three dimensions around that conduit and you’ll have full conduit power that will allow you to uh to swim and to have as much distance for that conduit power to achieve and that doesn’t go away that’s something that

You don’t as long as you’re near the conduit it is activated so you don’t have to keep feeding it with more materials or anything like that it will constantly give you conduit power which will be very very very very nice next i have this little terrarium dome here and

I feel like these are super fun to build under water and i used an external tool in order to pull this off i used plots.codoc uk and that will help me create this sphere that’s what helped me create this uh this glass sphere right here so if you

Want to create your own glass sphere you can and then i just filled it with whatever the heck i wanted i ended up filling it with some there’s some foxes over here that are chilling out these are tame foxes and i also have a horse did you know that you can actually take

A horse under water that’s right you can ride your horse under water and it will act just like a normal horse going up blocks allowing me to fight this drowned right here get out of here drowned and it will allow me to move faster underwater this horse has to

Be a skeleton horse the one issue with this horse is that he kind of takes a little while to uh to hit the ground but once he finally does then you can move around like normal so if you ever go up blocks uh you need to take a little while to

Come back down blocks and die oh i got to got another nautilus shell this horse is super useful it does need to be a skeleton horse in order to pull that off how do you get a skeleton horse well first you need to make sure that at

Some point in your world there has been a thunderstorm and when there is a thunderstorm there is the slight chance for a skeleton horse to spawn but be aware the horse that spawns will be a trapped horse i’m gonna go ahead and switch into creative mode for this to

Get over to my trapped horse area so this is what a skeleton horse looks like on the surface but this is in fact a trapped horse this is what you will find wandering around all alone on the surface after a thunderstorm if you walk up to it then it’ll explode and it will

Generate the four horsemen of the apocalypse these are skeleton riders on top of these horses and they all have enchanted bows and helmets so they will not burn up during the day once you defeat the skeleton riders then the horses that they leave behind will be

Tamed and be able to be ridden so all you have to do is right click um like you normally would on a normal horse and these are already tamed for you so all you need to do is bring your own saddle to the party you can also test these

Horses to see which one is the fastest which one jumps the highest that sort of thing and then you will have your very own skeleton horse and they have it my list of techniques to help you build under water if you decide to do this for yourself i highly highly highly

Encourage it i feel like building underwater is so cool because you learn so much more about minecraft like what can actually be achieved underwater it’s interesting because most redstone will not work but things like item frame still will there’s a ton of blocks that now can be waterlogged for you to use

And make really really neat builds under the ocean thanks so much for watching this episode of omg craft if you enjoyed it please give this video a big ol thumbs up give it give it a paw up if you’re a furry friend and uh also make sure you subscribe for future videos
