10 Ways To Find Dragon Caverns in Minecraft Hardcore

Do you struggle to find dragon Caverns well you won’t enter this video because I’m going to show you 10 ways to find them each new method is increasingly more effective to a point where it’s so repeat that it’s actually impossible not to find a dragon Cavern here’s which

Biomes you’ll find them in it really doesn’t matter if you’re playing with a mod pilot Auto Craft or only with the eyes and fire mod methods I’m about to show you will work in any survival or hardcore World starting with the first and most simple method which is mining

Now I’m showing you this because no matter what you do you won’t get around mining since most of the Dragon cameras are located deep underground so it’s good to know how and where to look while mining what you want to do is make your way to about wide level 35 that’s

Usually the ideal height to find dragon cameras in this is where you can mine as if you were looking for diamonds every now and then dig into the sides make sure to go in a bit deeper this is to check your surroundings by digging into the sides you maximize your chance of

Finding a dragon camera I’m going to rate every method based on the average time it takes to find a dragon camera mining gets a 1.6 out of 5 because you can only move as fast as your pickaxe can mine and compare to the last few methods I’m going to show you this is

Snail speed so mining alone isn’t very effective you could be mining for hours without finding anything so you here’s the next thing you can do go grab a couple pistons and read some torches while mining just stop every once in a while and create a little two block wide

Pocket this will make sense in a second play some Pistons facing the wall you want to check just like that make sure the Pistons are touching the wall now if you power those Pistons with redstone torches or any other item that can activate a piston you’ll obviously see

One of two things either it does nothing like it does here or the Piston extends when a piston extends it means that there is a cave 12 blocks in that direction if you’re lucky it’ll be a dragon cover in this case I had no luck I’m going to try it again here this

Method makes the most sense if you place down a bunch of pistons in a row because then you can check a wide area for Dragon cameras without having to mine at all and that’ll save you a ton of time let’s see if we find anything here okay

They extended which means there is a cave 12 blocks in this direction quite a big cave actually this is definitely more efficient than just mining but the chances of finding a camera like this are still pretty low this is going to get a 2.1 out of 5. this brings us to

The next method you’ll notice that these methods start to build upon each other we went from mining to using Pistons to locate caves and now we’re going to explore those very caves we found the bigger the Cave the better are your chance is a finding a cavern what you

Want to do is walk through these tunnels and mark off ways you’ve gone before feel free to take out any mobs inside another great way to uncover more land is to swim in these underwater Pockets make sure you don’t go too deep down otherwise you might miss the dragon

Cummins remember to stay around why level 35 many times these caves are connected to a cavern I actually have found many dragons this way you can also switch between Mining and exploring caves just make sure to watch where you walk into otherwise it might end badly like it

Almost did for me this is a really simple way of finding a cavern and in a big Cave System it usually doesn’t even take that long so this is going to get a 2.7 out of 5. the next way is similar but this time we’re on the surface

Actually on the ocean to be exact all you need to get is a boat since I have small ships available I’m gonna use one of those because they simply just look way better so now just get on the ocean and start sailing I don’t remember adding any flying whales but okay what

You’re looking for is something like this that’s a dragon camera in the ocean if you already have a dragon or an elytra I’d recommend you use that to explore the ocean from above you’ll be safe from sea servants and you can travel even faster maybe you think it’s

Weird to look for dragons in an ocean but Dragon Caverns are just everywhere in here look at that we got one I wasn’t even traveling for that long oh I’ve looted this one before well still this is quite an effective way to find them

As you can see on my map they spawn a lot in oceans in the cold oceans you’ll find ice dragons and if you have warm oceans you’ll find fire dragons there up here on the ocean or even above it you can travel pretty fast so you’ll naturally find Caverns much faster this

Method gets a 2.9 five I’m back at my storage to grab something special now we’re getting to the really efficient methods this one uses a glitch you may be familiar with get yourself a compost and some gravel do you see where I’m going with this this is an x-ray glitch

Which has been around for a very long time and it’s perfect for our purposes go any way you like and dig down at least three blocks then place the compass block and hop into it so that you’re actually inside it and now if you drop gravel on top of you you’ll get

Pushed into the compost and now you have x-ray Okay so we’ve got a ferris Rod nut and over here we got a mermic side not what we’re looking for but still nice to get out of it just break the blocks you can use this anywhere it’s best to use

This a bit deeper underground though so you can get a clearer view of the caves if you’re too high up you might not see much because of the render distance this is how you look like inside this contraption by the way this way you don’t have to go mine around aimlessly

Sometimes the caverns can be hard to see if you’re further away like here once you find one all you gotta do is mine to it and fight it it might be a little laggy right now because there are about 30 players online you might as well find

It since we’re here when you start to attack a dragon I suggest you chain it up first so that it can’t fly away because that’s always a little annoying when that happens this way it’s also always close to you and you can go in with your sword or you can boast on it

From a distance if you don’t have good stuff yet I love how these mobs die you can’t even eat bread in peace I swear this is not my bad aim it’s the lag anyway here’s me killing this dragon yo the skeleton busting out dance moves this is a female lighting Dragon so

Let’s see if it drops neck nice an amethyst egg this x-ray glitch is very useful to find dragon cameras but there are even better ways to find Cameron so this is going to get a 3.5 out of 5. this next method is a bit technical but

Still fairly simple what you gotta do is press shift and F3 this will display a pie chart in the bottom right corner it is a very useful tool that’s built into Minecraft itself under the pie chart you can see different categories that show different things we wanted to display

Entities so press three to go into tick then one to go into level again one to go into entities and lastly three to go into tick now you get a list of all entities that are near you if there is a dragon around you’ll usually see it

Somewhere at the top in my case there actually is a dragon near me I’m gonna walk down a cave and check now’s a great time to use the X-ray method to see where exactly the dragon is and there we have it a fire dragon ripe for harvesting this method is really

Efficient and works great with the compost trick I’m going to give this a 3.9 out of 5. before we continue it took a long time to find all these different methods to okay Dragon camera so if any of the ways I show you in this video

Help you at all I really appreciate it if you subscribe you can expect more content like this very soon now we move on to the modern methods first now we’re going to look at is the map mod I’m using the xyros minimap mod but you can use whichever one you like the cool

Thing about these map mods is that you can use them anywhere whether you’re in a single player world or on a server since there are Clan side mod just install them like you would any other mod and you’re good to go once you’ve got it go back down to around y level

35. on the map you’ll be able to see different cave systems and of course also Dragon cameras by enlarging the map you can see even more of what’s around you in my case it’s the Waikiki to enlarge the map and there you go we already found a cavern the map is really

Really helpful for finding dragons this method gets a 4.2 out of 5. the next method builds upon the previous one I call it the pop in strategy use a dragon or any other transport method to travel the world the faster your vehicle the better then as the name suggests

Randomly pop into caves and use the map to check for Dragon cameras this allows you to scan the errors quickly without having to mine through all of it you can also use the pie chart or the compost trick to check for camera you don’t want

To or can’t use that map and just like that we got another one I’m actually finding these as I’m explaining so you know this works well I’m going to give this method a 4.3 out of 5. the next way to locate dragons uses the dragon zika

Mod this is a mod that was specifically made for the ice and fire mod it has these Dragon Seekers which make a sound when you right click it near a dragon there is a regular epic and legendary variant each one gets more accurate I’ve got the legendary dragon Seeker on me

Right now now just explore and check for Dragons using the dragon Seeker wait what does the sign say oh subscribe yep you should definitely do that if it doesn’t make a sound there’s no dragon around this is what it sounds like if there is a dragon near you when you hear

It it’s time to dig down with all the previous methods you easily spot where the cavern is I brought in my friend Emperor to fight this Beast thank you this mod was made to help locate Dragon so it gets a 4.6 out of 5. method number

10 is the eye of dragon’s mod similar to the dragon secret mod it adds three new items that can help you find dragons it adds three types of Dragon Eyes that will guide you to the nearest dragon in a 500 block radius they basically work like under eyes but these guys will fly

Towards dragons instead of the stronghold you can craft them with a Dragonheart and an Ender eye just use it like you would an Ender eye if there are no dragons in a 500 block radius the I will not come out only when you’re close enough will it guide you to it alright

The eyesight is showing me the way it must be down here somewhere and there it is Bam the zombie almost knocked me in since you can Target specific dragon types with this I’ll give it a 4.7 out of 5 but I’m not done yet I’m going to

Try to find as many dragons as possible using these 10 methods in 30 minutes after that I will show you a bonus method which is basically like being in spectator mode so stick around for that first look out to get away from Spawn because all the dragons there have

Already been killed alright I’m starting the challenge here let’s start the clock and go 30 minutes to find as many cameras as possible how many do you think I’ll find in half an hour okay so in this first game here we’ve got absolutely nothing just double checking

Using the pie chart to be sure yep nothing let’s keep moving there’s a big ocean here that’s kind of a mixture between cold and warm water so I think I’ll check this out a bit or what oh siren’s back at it again which one of you is singing One Shot pathetic okay

Second one down two that wheel is coming a bit close anyway we don’t have much time so let’s get back on the dragon I need to call it down with the dragon flute and up we go there has to be a cavern in this ocean I’d love to fight

The frost mob I can’t afford to be distracted right now hold on there’s one right there let’s drop down the track look at that we found our first Cavern in under five minutes oh a skinny snake is coming I’m glad it’s not a big one otherwise I would have been in trouble

Okay see serpent down now let’s check on the dragon I just want to see if it’s a female or not it is it actually is a female so I’ll definitely come back later to fight it let me set up a wasteland so I can teleport back later

Right now I’m only focusing on finding cameras we’ll fight them afterwards I think it’s time we check on land for a bit I’m doing the pop-ins strategy I can’t see anything on the map nothing on the pie chart either this guy is trying to start a fight damn I straight up

Decapitated it I’m gonna pop in into this area right here before we’re getting sucked in again I keep hitting them with my pickaxe there we go much better before I go and land I need to take out these seagulls they are like Pixies they steal your stuff one down

Two down no no no well that’s what you get okay so I did all that for nothing there’s no Cavern here I want to find at least two cameras I’d say that would be a good statistic let’s do another popping I’m a bit too high up I need to

Get down a little deeper oh uh creeper whoa I don’t know how I always fall through the tiniest cracks anyway no Dragon Here Ravines are usually great for finding dragons too and we’ve uncovered a fire dragon time isn’t even halfway through and we found two Caverns I’m telling you these methods are op

Okay it’s in this direction I’m gonna check if it’s a female yes it is I’m coming back for this one later too gotta mark this with a waistome I’ve got 16 minutes left I hope to find another one maybe a Lightning Dragon then I would have found all three types in 30 minutes

I’m at a jungle biome where Lightning Dragon spawning but I’m pretty sure I’ve been here before so there won’t be any dragons around I’ll double check with the chart but yeah all dragons here have been harvested that sounds a bit dark this seems like a spot where dragons

Could spawn nope nothing but Minecraft what about this no Tundra a lot of ice dragon spawn him apparently not I think I’ve got something yes another ice dragon Cavern this will be camera number three I don’t seem to see a dragon oh okay this has been looted already I’m

Still gonna count this because I did still locate this Cameron so I’ve got two minutes left to find another and I’m going to go ahead and say that there is a dragon underneath this mountain I found quite a few under huge mountains look at that my hunch was right there’s

Indeed an ice dragon I’m quite high up on the mountain so the map can’t see the camera time to bust out the compost trick once again alright it’s down there we just got to mine straight down to it one minute left are we gonna make it 10

Seconds I should be almost there oh there it is with one second to spare we’ve uncovered a fourth Cavern in 30 minutes I’ve located four different dragon carrots that’s not that bad at this rate you’d have 8 dragons an hour and if you play for 5 hours you’ll have

Located 40 dragons before I go fight the Beast I quickly gotta get rid of all my junk in my inventory okay never mind I guess if I started What will she drop a sapphire dragon egg that’s one of my favorite colors you remember the other dragons we found time to steal their eggs always remember to chain them up to the ground and then just go ham on the Dragon Gotta remove these spikes otherwise I might delete the egg if it drops on them this is a female as well so let’s see which dragon egg we got perfect so the Silver Dragon drops Sapphire egg and the sapphire dragon drops a silver egg makes

Sense I guess the last hit on my list is the fire dragon how am I gonna get across thank you that works I remember it was a female as well we got lucky this time around all right let’s get to it that is one aggressive Dragon can’t even get near

With all this fire I guess my only option is the bow damn she threw me right into the lava nice and warm what the hell is this spider jockey another mommy dog red dragon egg that’s pretty nice all dragons are dead and harvested so let’s

Get to the last method you can use to locate Caverns you’re probably familiar with the replay mod this mod allows you to record your gameplay and create cinematic shots this is also a client-side mod so you can use it in single player or on a server once you’ve

Recorded some footage with the replay mod you can go ahead and open it in here you see yourself and the world this is where you can basically fly around as if you were in spectator mode and look for dragon cameras once you spot them here

You can go back to the actual world and locate them there this gets a 5 out of 5 I mean it can’t get more P than this now remember the more you suffer on the way to locate a dragon current the sweeter the satisfaction once you find it happy Hunting
