Minecraft Pro reveals secret mineshaft location!

So today’s episode is going to be all about abandoned mineshafts in minecraft and we’re going to go through things like how you can find them what you should take with you things to do before you go and what to do while you’re there now down in the video comments and in

The description up at timestamps so you guys can skip ahead to whichever part the video is most relevant for you but we are going to start out by the things that you want to do before you go the things you want to take with you to be best prepared for the mineshaft

So what I’ve got on me here are some things that I would recommend that you take and this will kinda depend where you’re at in the game right because some of you’ll be more advanced than have more items than others so you kinda need to tailor this to yourself and your

Needs but here’s what I would suggest if you can so we’ve got here ball torches that’s the first thing obviously my chests are very dark and I recommend lightening them up but also I’m gonna show you a little trick with torches so you can easily find your way out of them

Because they can be very confusing places so I would recommend taking a lot we’ll come on to the tip later on in the video the other thing that you can take with you is some chakra boxes if you have access to them because it will give you extra storage for all your goodies

Obviously at loads of loot loads of mining and stuff like that so it’s definitely worth having the next thing that I recommend is you might want to take a bed these mine shafts they might be quite far from wherever your bases so if you sleep nearby then you can make

Sure you respawn there because let’s face it you might die I mean the cave spiders the creepers around every corner they can be dangerous places so you know how many spawn nearby is definitely kind of a useful thing next up I’ve got my ender chest now again this is if you’re

At that stage at the game but obviously in an enderchest you can hold tons of items for example I’ve got here loads of spare food and I’m taking a lot of food on me and that’s really my next point as well is to bring lots of food of course

In the end chess you could just have tons and tons and tons of things that you may need depending on how much you’re gonna be caving for because often the mine shafts will integrate with caves and things so if you’re there for a good long time then yeah you can

Really pack that ender chest out now one item I don’t have on the inventory right now is milk so obviously in abandoned mine shafts you are going to get tons of cave spiders and they’re gonna poison you so the milk is the way to heal yourself so depending on how

Comfortable you are at PvP and what type of army you’ve got on that type of thing you may want to take some milk with you I’m opting out we’ll see how it goes later in the episode hariya doesn’t come to bite me and kill me but ya see my

Wanting milk no kind of links into my next point which is your armor so you definitely want the best diamond armor you can take with you or at least I would say enchanted iron again depends how good you are at PvP but you can be faced with a lot in there and it’s

Better to go prepared to take the best army you can you also might want to light choice of rockets to get yourself to and from whatever this abandoned mineshaft will be because it might be far away and we’re going to come onto how you find them in just a sec and sort

Of the best way to find them and also the best type of abandoned mineshaft to find because there are sort of subtle differences between different ones which yeah we’re gonna come onto that it’s also in my inventory a bucket of water guys always take warm in your mind okay

It’s just good practice you know it helps with if there’s any lava you need to cross or if you get set on fire or anything like that so just take a bucket of water it’s definitely a good thing okay and also shears so in abandoned mine shafts you’ll get the spiderwebs right

The cobwebs now she is are the only way you can get them to use them for decoration you can also use a sword and that will actually turn them into string so you want tons of string a sword might do but as it’s the best place to get all

This cobweb I would recommend taking shears and getting all that copper while you’re there to use for decoration on your bills later on in the game because that’s kind of cool right it’s a nice time to decorate with particularly for you know Halloween builds or scary things or whatever but obviously that’s

Optional when I’m breaking through your mind that also is optional you could just take tons of shears with you because let’s face it there to iron each iron is not that hard you can make iron farms you get tons of it when you’re mining so you know use a bit of iron get

Those shears and obviously you’ll get iron while you’re there so you may also want to take a furnace this is another item that I’m not taking with me but your monastic furnace to turn things into iron while you’re there if you’re short of it if you might need a four

Shears or buckets or armor or that kind of thing now what else is in my inventory I think that’s about it I did also think you might want to take an axe with you we’re going to take a ton of torches but abandoned mine shafts are a unique

Mining situation you have loads of wood there so with the axe you can harvest all that wood and you can turn into a crafting bench if you need one of those way there might be a good idea to take a crafter mentor with you actually but you

Do have the wood while you’re there you could also turn into sticks and make more torches if you find you need them so you should always take wood when your mining abandon my if you take an accent you’re gonna get wood while you’re there so that’s just

Kind of a few little tips on what you could take with you what we’re gonna do now is we’re going to talk about the ways that you can find mine shafts and also those subtle differences between them that I mentioned just a moment ago so you’re all geared up and you are

Ready to go and find yourself an abandoned mineshaft and that’s great but where are you gonna go so here’s a little tip that I can give you guys will get a head on over to mine atlas I’m gonna show you so I’ll put a link in the description to this website it’s super

Easy to use and yeah let me show you this really quickly okay so here we are this is mine Atlas comm as I say linked in the description so what you can do is get yourself a new map and put in the seed which for my world is Kaizen so we

Set the seed and it will generate just like this now if we scroll way out here we can drag this by clicking and just dragging and have a little look around for all different things all different biomes and that type of thing you see over here you got all different options

But what we’re looking for right now is this oranjee biome right here and it says just in this location here when I hover over it but it is a Mesa biome there’s a Mesa plateau there as well so let’s jump back into the game I’ll explain why that’s

Important and how you might find yourself a mineshaft here so we are gonna head off in that direction and I should have mentioned but you can get the coordinates on the mine atlas website as well so you hover over and on the right hand side tells you the name

Of the biome and also the coordinates so we can then head over to those by pressing f3 and I’m an f1 mode if you know f4 mode then you can see your coordinates there and just heading over to the area that way now why did I want

A Mesa well a Badlands biome which was formerly called a maysa as well as this tit as on mine atlas they have a higher likely nurse of having a lot of gold in them and you can find mine shafts and you can find them at a higher Y level as

Well they’re often exposed in these biomes so what we’re gonna do is head over in that direction and if we have if we do you know find one there hey it should be easier to find one if there is one there and B we will get more gold

When we’re there now I absolutely promise you I’ve not been to this Mesa before so I have no idea if we’re gonna find one or not I’m gonna chance it but guys we don’t just rely on that right so what we’re gonna do on the way we’re

Gonna fly so that we can see the surface now the reason for that is you want to look out for a ravine because if you find a ravine often you can look down inside point and you’ll see a abandoned mineshaft you’ll see you know the wood

Or some other your rail or something to allude to the fact that hey there is a mineshaft down there so if we see that then we might explore that one or at least make a note of the coordinates so that we can explore it later of course

The other way you might find an abandoned mineshaft is just when you’re caving you know often they will interact with cave structures so keep your eye out you might find one then and if you do find one early game you’re not quite prepared already at that stage to go and

You know harvest little resources and explore it then take down the coordinates on your phone or write them down somewhere and use them later would be my tip so let me go it’s pouring I’m gonna head towards that Mesa and let’s see if we can find ourselves and

Abandoned mineshaft well so here we go we are heading off to our coordinates and I thought I might just quickly talk about the coordinates and how you can navigate from one set of coordinates to another because I have green asked this a few times in the past so basically you

Can see here my coordinates on the left hand side of the screen for X Y Zed and we’re trying ahead to an x coordinate of around about negative 5,000 and it said coordinate of negative 7,000 now that’s the first little tip I’m gonna give you don’t worry about the exact number if

You’re trying to find a biome especially it really doesn’t matter just get a rough guess so negative five negative seven in my case now what I’m doing here as you can see as I’m flying along here that my X number is getting lower so it’s 700 knots down in the 600’s and

It’s continually going down incidentally this big square right here you saw this is where we come to harvest all my sand on this server you can join the server by the way the link is in the description if you’re interested in that but anyway I digress so that’s getting lower and lower and

Obviously eventually you’ll get into negative numbers and get me down to negative 5,000 when I keep going this way now my Zed is a lot closer to negative 7,000 than my X is to negative five thousand right so as you can see I’m heading the direction where my said

Isn’t moving too much so it is getting the larger and by getting larger I mean the negative numbers getting bigger so you know it’s negative five nine 18 now it’s 19 and it’s slowly going off for heaven right dose in here and I didn’t mean to land there we go

But the basically the exponent is going down at a much faster rate because it’s got further to go and then just hone in on it like that and you keep tweaking it’s tough trying it’s land in the water like I’m doing and that’s kind of how

You do it guys I hope that helped I hope that was a useful little tip if it was then let me know if it wasn’t let me know leave a comment description and I’ll try and explain it better if I didn’t do a good enough job I’m gonna

Try and stop drowning myself and head over to that Mesa and we’ll see what we find once we get there so no ravines on the way but we have arrived at the Mesa biome so much.i land somewhere where there aren’t tons of mobs so I can maybe

Get myself to sleep here and as we said before you do want to sleep nearby but this isn’t necessarily what I want to sleep because I don’t know if this is nearby yeah I need to explore this bike so I want to sleep kind of right at the

Entrance to where I’m gonna get into this thing so let’s jump up here we have a little spore out and see what we can see and oh my goodness okay I absolutely promise this was not done on purpose this is but guys I told you they

Are easier to find here we are so look we want to go in here we can right-click on java mode and respawn so I set our respawn point right there and and you know that’s why we don’t actually have to does nothing nighttime unless actually sleeping so we’re now we’re

Like ready to go here and in fact there’s a chest right there that is awesome okay so what we want to do I’m actually gonna get my end chest down here I think for now check you know everything I’ve got get all my items and stuff together

And then we are very exposed together guys and give you tons of tips on what to do when you find one of these okay so what I’ve done is gone ahead and dumped my ax light ray in there also my Rockets because I’m not gonna need those things

While I’m strong on this and I’ve got on my chest plate instead for that extra protection and I’ve got all my torches ready got so much of food outs with pretty much yeah we’re ready to go we’ve got shears on us and show up our boxes and stuff like that

We’ve probably learned opposed either on us but they are this is full right huh so yeah so here we go an abandoned mineshaft the first thing I would say to you is mark the entrance clearly so I’m gonna put a load of torches here so

Whenever I see them I know this is where my entrance is might also be worth taking a note of your coordinates right so you can see the coordinates here this is where your entrance is at least then you know where you want to be going now first thing I

Would say is about the rail you’re gonna get a ton of rail in here if I were you I would take it I mean it saves you having to craft that layer saves you a ton of iron and you’re pretty much ready to go now I wasn’t expecting a spider

Spawner quite so early in the game but we are going to talk about those right now so spire spawn is guys I mean look it depends what you want to do okay you do not need to save them for later on in the game unless you’re gonna make a

Spider farm now if you are if you can spot a farm with them then go right ahead and if you’re watching this in the future down in the comments and/or video description I will put a link to my video on how to make a spider farm

Because I am doing that in an upcoming episode but if you’re not bothered about it you can just destroy them okay you can destroy this Warner’s and not have to worry about those spiders for me i yeah i’m making a spider farm I want the spoilers so it’s a case of

Wanting to light this area up as best as I can so that as few as possible spiders are actually going to spawn here so we’re gonna do that right now we’re also gonna go ahead and shears all of this stuff as I said before I want to use

This for the building material so yeah now I just like kind of spam torches all around here it’s probably a little bit overkill but I just don’t like these things I hate to fight them and also when I come back to make my spider farm

Then I’m gonna want to go ahead and you know have like a safe area right so as you see here I’m breaking three shares of working really well getting me at sounds of cobweb for building later on in the game now it is highly unlikely that you’ll be in the

Situation I was just in whereby you’re gonna have an entrance right here and then an a you know spider spawner that close so you might do all them in different ways um depending on that but basically let’s just go ahead and get its lose or anything here we’ve won it

Depends again what you need and stuff we take everything for now we can always return this stuff later as this is so close to my entranceway I’m not worried about picking this up right now but obviously if you want the minecart on the rail and stuff go ahead and pick

That up now this is a little bit messy what I was going to suggest is the little torch trick is when you’re running through a mineshaft or any type of caving what you could do is always place your torches on the left hand wall okay now if you do that whenever you are

Trying to return back to the entrance or wherever you started mining or whatever the case may be so long as you keep these torches on the right hand side like this you know you’re heading in the right action so that is something that you can definitely do to find your way in and

Out of mind shafts and caves if you’re doing that also you can also take like signs for example right you can take signs and you give yourself directions or arrows or something like that okay so here we go we’re gonna head through here we’re gonna light up as much as we can

As we go and I’m out the torches it’s replaced that as a spider comes for us now you’ll notice back there that we had gold because as I mentioned before gold will spawn a higher wire level in these mine shafts this is why we came to the badlands guys yes it’s

Further to go but look at this there’s four gold right there that could be eight if we go behind there’s another five right here that’s gonna be more when we go behind so why not get yourself tons boy yeah you mean yeah why not get yourself tons of gold once

You’re doing this you know it’s just extra resources so what I do is I kind of go along like this until I reach a dead end that I mined out the gold now again now if I was placing the torches here on the left hand side as I came

Keep them on the right and head back I would know it my way back obviously at this stage is a video you’re like well duh it’s pretty obvious but as you go through these things you’ll know if you’ve ever explored one before they can get kind of complicated so that’s just a

Little tip oh my goodness I wasn’t expecting that and I’m poisoned already so this is where you might want milk now I’m wondering how he spawned there is there like another spawn in here or I guess he was just one left over from earlier okay I think we’re safe I’m

Gonna go ahead and get this gold get some more of these things and then we’ll come on to some more tips obviously no mineshaft so very shortly after a recording of my last clip I actually came across this room right here I’m sure one Chet there’s nothing down here

Looks like we good we are gonna block that off I know I put a torch there but I can see it’s dark there but yeah this room right here is an important room and not just because there’s a skeleton that uh-huh this is the dirt room and every single

Stronghold stronghold I mean about a mineshaft will have one now what the importance of that is is that if you have not found this room in your Evander munch F then you have not explored the entire plan of mine shaft and the reason I bring that up is because if that is

Your goal if you’re trying to make sure you’ve explored the whole thing then you do want to make sure that you’ve found this room now if you find two of these rooms that it means there are two about a mine shafts very close together that fire intersecting and from this room you

Can see even golf at all directions and explore which we will you are also seeing there is a ton of gold around here just everywhere so yeah again you know lots of gold in these things which is why we wanted to come to this one so yeah so basically make sure

You find this room now the other thing as well there’s sometimes abandoned mineshafts you’ll explore them and you won’t find this room and it’s basically because the way the tunnels working out they are blocked off and stuff so if you find that and you are trying to explore

The whole mineshaft you haven’t found this room you feel like there’s more what I’d recommend is you’re in an area like this where it’s like clearly an abandoned mineshaft first of all dig off through the walls a little bit see what you can see we can

See if we go down here it looks like the stuff going on there the only thing you can do is take out the wood if there’s wood on the floor because wood is not meant to be on the floor what is meant to be on the ceiling so sometimes when

These things generate what happens is these blocks here end up a little bit too high or too low depending on how you think about it I guess and and there is mineshaft underneath now if we go down here you’ll see there is a mineshaft here now this is where we were exploring

Before how do I know that because we learned it up tips coming back round you see but in all seriousness you know this is a very useful thing to do if you are trying to make sure that you do find the entire mineshaft so I’m just giving you

Tips and tricks as I go guys or hopefully as many of these are as useful to you as possible if you have any questions about mine shafts then do leave them down in the comments I am going to keep on exploring this one and yeah let’s see what else we can find

Well guys opening loot chests is always fun so who are let’s doing the born on can’t see or we get another name saying pretty cool now if my inventory is looking a little bit empty are the reason for that is it’s all in here no in here

There we go it’s in one of my shop doesn’t new that there’s all gone in there so I’ll show you at the end all of the items that we got if I finally looked chests I’ll open them on town because let’s face it how many loot chests you actually open in a Minecraft

World I mean really like maybe 50 in your whole game like if you don’t explore a lot like me I guess I don’t explore a lot maybe know the comments how many boxes do you reckon you’ll open loot boxes this is so you know now the fortress is obviously mine shafts

Dungeons that kind of thing how are those directing you open in your game I’ll be interested to see what you guys think that’s leave me a comment on that I would keep exploring and if I do open anymore while I’m here you’ll definitely

See that and yeah as I say if I think of any other little tips and things as I go you’ll see that as well so guys we’re now back to where we started there’s the entrance just behind me and we’ve explored just about all of this

Mine shaft so one thing to do right now is let’s look at what the loop we actually got from this thing now I guess the notable things would be I’m just trying to get some sort of order the two nametags obviously very cool got loads of rail which I’d really like because I

Am using a lot of rails so you know just saves me having to make it and saves you iron early-game the big thing is the gold ore right oh I didn’t find out here I brought that with me yeah the gold ore this is a lot of gold ore and it’s you

Know in a normal mine shaft you might go like that so it’s like two stacks extra you know literally you’re not gonna find that much that’s what I recommend if you head over to a Mesa a the mine shafts can be easy to find be you know you’re

Just gonna get all that gold plus I mean why not right you then you found a Mesa which is cool now on that I am gonna put links to mine atlas down in the wiki if you guys want to do that if you’re wondering how you get your seed you just slash seed

Oh wait I’m gonna server okay this works in single-player okay I’m I’m not off on the service so I can’t do this I’m not ops because I want to play vanilla right to do the episodes for you guys so yes I seed will work for you in vanilla also

It will work if you are up if you need the services you know you can ask the guys they might give it to or whatever but you can use mine Alice for that I’m also gonna put a link down in the description to the wiki if you guys are

Interested in that I just want to say as well sorry that’s the wiki for mine shafts just to be clear so I have two silk touch tools on me right it’s what I am sort of question I think some people may ask no such does not work on like

Cobweb right so it has to be shears that’s why we brought shears you can’t double up and ring silk touch pick and it does you know the mining stuff and the shears stuff no you do have to bring shears I’m afraid but you can see I mean

I’ve got I’m breaking three on these right so you can see the durability right there I mean this is how much I got res stat plus 15 and it barely touched your abilities you don’t need loads of shears okay Warren will probably do so guys that’s about all the
