How to Play Skyblock – MINECRAFT EDUCATION

Okay everybody welcome back to learn with minecraft education today we’re going to be looking at skyblock we’re going to be looking at how we can get it working on our version of the game we’re going to look at downloading it how we can get it onto our system and

What we should do in the first few days of our time playing sky blocks so without any further ado let’s dive in and take a look okay so here we are in our little sky block world and uh we need to take a look around our little island there’s not much to it

Um but you’ll see here at one end of our island we’ve got a chest with some lava ice pumpkin bits and bobs some mushrooms and things in there that we will need at some point i’m sure that’s why they’re there and if we turn around and

Take a look at the other end of our island we have a tree um so there’s not much here it’s three blocks deep and um not particularly big um all round but we need to make the most of our space and we’re going to start off by building a cobblestone generator we need

More blocks we need to a way of getting blocks don’t we so cobblestone generators are super useful um four blocks are long and then one of the middle two blocks you need to dig two blocks down and then in our chest we need to use the lava

And the ice that’s why they’re there you’re supposed to do this so we are going to put down one end of this uh the ice and if we if we break the ice it becomes a water source and flows down into that extra block that we took down there

It needs it needs to be flowing it needs to be moving and at the other end we’re going to pop down our lava bucket like that um now this world file this one is in the description if you want to download it i’ll just go to the description of the video

And he downloaded it it’s a pocket edition map um but it works it’ll work in bedrock and most importantly for us at work in minecraft education edition too so let’s mine the bottom of this tree oh dear and as you can see uh if you’re not careful you can lose resources over

The edge in the void and that’s not good so we need to build a little bit out away from our uh platform we need to already start extending our platform um and we need a pickaxe before we can mine our cobblestone from our cobblestone generator so we need to collect the wood

From this tree to make it into a wooden pick axe so if we shift click and go near the edge we can click over the edge and start adding some of those dirt blocks that we got hold of around the edge and that way when we

Mine our oak logs they’re not going to go over the edge so we’ll just collect all of these we need as much as we can especially as being as i wasted one not really using my brain at the start here now i am no sky block expert let it be said um

But uh this video is really just about getting started and how to get this working and to see how it works in minecraft education because there are a few differences now first things first we need a crafting table to get our wooden pickaxe and start breaking that cobblestone so we need some oak

Logs we need to create some oak wood planks so let’s pop those oak wood planks in there uh next off we of course uh will need some sticks as well so we need to turn those oakwood plants into sticks once we’re in our crafting table and now once we’ve got that together we

Should be able to get our wooden pickaxe and start mining that cobblestone okay so we’ve got our sticks and um we’ve got a few uh wooden planks as well let’s move those over there and uh putting those together into our crafting table we now are able to create a wooden pickaxe so

We’ve got everything we need now to start harvesting cobblestone um so if i head down here let’s move things back into our chest because if we fall off we don’t want to lose all of our items that are in our inventory so here’s our cobblestone we’ll just keep um breaking this

And collecting the cobblestone sometimes it goes into the lava there’s not much you can do about that but we’re just gonna keep breaking it and collecting that cobblestone until we’ve got enough to widen this platform a little bit what we are aiming to do in the long

Term is to collect the rest of those leaves that we haven’t collected yet without them falling down because from the leaves we can collect something very important which is oak um saplings all right so we want the saplings that we can plant more trees and then as those trees grow we can

Collect more oak logs so we’re not going to run out of wood to make pickaxes and things like that we will now we’ve got cobblestone we can uh make stone pickaxes but we still need a bit of wood for the handle oh no i’ve fallen off the edge i haven’t um

Told people this before but actually there’s a really annoying glitch on the mac on anyone that uses mac for minecraft education where sometimes if you’re holding a direction or even your mining it just glitches and kind of keeps it held down and on a map like this it’s really

Annoying you have to press escape and go to the settings and go back out to to override it on a map like this it’s a nightmare because you quite often end up falling over the edge but i’ll do my best today it’s not let it get in the way

I’ll keep keeping my items in the chest over there uh however i do need to mine some more cobblestone now i’ve lost that cobblestone because i fell off the edge um you will fall off the edge anyway even without that annoying glitch every now and again

So you will need to make sure um that you are storing things in that chest and not losing them but i’m going to expand now the edge of my island a little bit more my sky block so i can collect the rest of those leaves up there you can’t see them so

Well from the other view but they are up there um i haven’t mined them yet and hopefully we’ll get at least one sapling out of this if i don’t get one sapling then it’s kind of game over really because then there’s no way for me to grow more trees

And it’s impossible for me to continue with the game but i’ve got three saplings which is great so i’m going to take those three saplings and get a little bit of a tree farm going on i’ll need some dirt and a bit more space bit more cobblestone and to

Spread those uh trees out i don’t want the trees really close to each other i want them to have as much foliage on them as possible so if they’re bumping into each other that makes it difficult so let’s grab some more cobblestone and expand my little island slightly

Now once i’ve got my tree farm i in theory have as long as i’m patient a good supply of um more saplings more wood things like sticks even apples things like that will fall from my tree so as long as i’ve got maybe three or four trees on the go they will grow

During the daylight hours and then during the night time hours i can um just keep grinding that cobblestone it’s been a lot of time just mining cobblestone but that’s okay and we’ll keep topping up our chest as we go so i’ve got three trees now that’s my little tree farm

That’s not too bad i mean i’ll try and get more if i can just keep grinding that cobblestone but eventually you can see in the distance there’s a little island and um there are other islands dotted around and obviously in time i want to make my way out to that

Island there it is so i may as well while i’m waiting for my trees to grow i may as well just keep grinding and collecting this cobblestone and start bridging my way out very slowly and very carefully um some people are really quick at this kind of bridge building

I am because i’m going to speed it up there we go um and i’m going to get hopefully get over to the island uh if i’m careful no it’s stuck again ah well i got a good chunk of that done um but i did lose 16 cobblestones so back

To the grind get getting that cobblestone let’s get a load more now before i finish that bridge um maybe i will um just stock up my cobblestone some more and expand my island slightly i want to move my crafting table and my chest i want to move those

Over near my tree oh i’ve got a tree my tree’s grown that’s brilliant so i can start taking that down shortly i’ll finish moving my crafting table and chest over here because actually my water source over there eventually will be a good place to put some seeds so i should get some seeds

Now and again and be able to put them in there awesome but yeah i’m going to keep keep my chest full up over there for now that’s probably for another video if i continue with this i don’t know if i’ll continue this is just really about the map and getting started

Um but yeah let’s uh let’s get this tree farm bit all sorted out mark let’s mine our new tree and hopefully yes i’ll get a couple of saplings i’ve got apple and some sticks so that’s good for my first tree and i’ll keep this rolling plant one of the

Saplings down there and put the rest in my chest obviously keep grinding the cobblestone and here we go i’ve got now on my cobblestone bridge i’ve got a skeleton archer type thing so i need to go and get a sword sorted out get over here bash this guy off the edge um ideally

Maybe i could have kind of lured him over and collected anything that he dropped i don’t know what what they drop if it’s anything useful um so over at the other end is just a chest um so i need to find a way to open that chest now

This is an idea i had for watching another video uh which is to kind of ride this waterfall down and place blocks underneath it’s pretty sketchy and i’m running out get back in okay really hard but i’m gonna keep going persevering and i’ve put a block underneath that chest

Now so i’ll open it up and see what’s inside and it is some obsidian uh which i imagine is quite hard to get hold of which is why it’s in that chest over there so i don’t know what i can use the obsidian for i can look that up i’m not the

I’m not an expert at survival mode even but this map’s been really fun it’s been kind of tactical there was a lot of editing in this one i cut a lot of the time out i spent grinding cobblestone and just making mistakes and placing cobblestone and falling off the edge

Um so as we proceed with this i can use the obsidian to hopefully get some more interesting stuff and i can plant some seeds and get a bit of a farm going and stuff like that um however that is the end of today’s video the dis in the description of this video

You will find the link to this world and this world is tested it works in minecraft education edition so download it have a play around with it it’s a lot of fun but we are going to finish up there if you like today’s video please do like the video and subscribe
