The REAL Way To Find Diamonds In Minecraft 1.20

Hello i’m fbx toycat and a lot of minecraft veterans will argue that you don’t need to mine for diamonds anymore because ever since the village update you can just trade for any of these diamond tools or these diamond armors with a villager an infinite number of

Times and on top of that it even comes pre-enchanted however what these people are forgetting is that you do still need the physical diamond mineral to craft these three things the jukebox the block of diamonds and the enchantment table and let’s say like me you need 50 enchantment tables okay i’ll be honest

With you i want 50 enchantment tables how do i get my hands on 100 diamonds as quick as i physically can that’s what i wanted to answer in today’s video because there are legit valid reasons to mine for diamonds including the very start of the game and it is a lot easier

To do so in 1.18 if you know what you’re doing and so let’s explain exactly how that works today but first let’s just give you the cheat sheet because hey pro tip did you know the all uh you know generations have been updated for 1.18 this is an actual map generated from the

Code in the game if you want the cheat sheet this is how you find most ores the easiest and it’s what we’re going to be using as our guideline today and if this were times past in minecraft maybe the best thing to do would be to go down to

That layer and just do some branch mining however different updates have different measures and this update in particular has updated caves in such a huge way that it makes it a really important thing that you know exactly what to do and when and so let’s go mine

Some diamonds and show you how quickly we can get our hands on 100 because i’m gonna put these eight away i’m gonna use a hundred fresh diamonds for this just to show how nutty it really is and by the way if you’re doing this on an old

World like me this is of course my let’s play world welcome by the way uh just make sure that you find new terrain to do this stuff in because all of your all-terrain will still have diamonds in the old places whereas the new uh you know terrain will have diamonds in the

New places as logical as that might seem it’s honestly not that difficult to tell the old terrain apart from the new but again it’s still something uh worth checking up on and so yeah what do i recommend if you want to start mining unlike previous times where it’s like

Dig straight down as and you know like make the stuff happen the new best way to mine is to find one of these cave entrances if you can fly around it will take you less than a minute if you have to walk around or horse around you’ll

Still spend just a few minutes looking for one of these and they’re really great because they will often give you access to more caves which can just take you all the way down uh to where you want to go caves generally do have this tendency to head downwards and downwards

So find a cave and then try and go downwards in the y direction as fast as you can uh maybe making note of the way you came in i’m going to place some torches so i don’t get lost and uh yeah you’ll notice we end up in a drip stone

Cave how nice okay so the lowest i could get this cave to take me down was just a 37 blocks and so at this point you have two choices either you start digging down and you kind of hope for another cave or you can just go up and look for

Another one i i really do recommend like using a decent base cave for all of your stuff partially because they look really cool and it’s partly fun but also because this is one of the best ways to find diamonds as i’ll point out later and so when your first cave doesn’t

Succeed you can just try try and try again and that’s what exactly we’ll do uh there’s one over there that looks promising i bet there’s one in that jungle somewhere and there’s one over here too you that you should be able to find a ton of cave entrances and so go

Into one until you find one that takes you below y zero or so okay this is actually one of the weirdest caves i’ve ever seen i’m guessing this is the top like uh the section of a giant uh pillar of drip stone that’s my gut and i’m i’m correct

The the trip stone pillar is a bit big for this cave but either way it’s it’s leading me in and that’s what matters and it’s leading me down which is much more important look how much easier it is to do this than it is to find your

Whole own fresh new cave it’s wonderful i’m now below y zero and uh there’s no sign of me stopping here because i’m going deeper and deeper and deeper and here’s the great thing about oh and there we go we found diamonds already that is literally

I i swear every time i go into a cave and i find diamonds this quickly i i believed myself there’s no way anyone’s gonna believe this but no it is that easy to find diamonds once you go below y zero you increase your odds of finding diamonds over and over again until this

Happens and so we’re gonna make this lava just a little bit safer i never like to remove lava altogether because it is a wonderful light source uh now we’re gonna jump over it and we’re gonna grab this hopefully more than one diamond so uh the one downside of

Finding diamonds by just going through caves naturally like this is because they uh they have reduced exposure when they generate with air being one of their blocks um it’s harder to find them than it would be on a per uh like block basis and also because if there’s air

Generating there instead it will remove some of those diamonds that would have generated and so it’s the only way you can find single diamonds which is so sad like only one diamond door for real i need 99 more of these well not necessarily not if you have a silk touch

Or fortune pickaxe but we’ll come back to that later everyone should know that by now for now let’s focus on what you should do once you’ve reached the end of one of these caves there’s taken you all this way down and you find all the diamonds that just naturally spawn in

The cave in our case there’s only two veins here although only two veins in a cave that took me seconds to get into it’s not bad at all and also knowing that only two veins are still getting me what like nine separate diamonds it’s pretty decent yeah ten ten diamonds

After um about four minutes of looking is a really decent haul and now here’s the question what do you do after this so what i recommend you do once you’ve mined out a cave for all of the resources is go to the lowest point and then start a branch mine there’s a few

Different ways to branch mine some people love the two by two technique uh some people love to go three by two or three by three or four by four however the most effective way is a one by two tunnel the reason for that if we do a

Little maths is that every two blocks of deep slate we’re mining right now one block then two block is revealing one two three four five six and then seven eight we’re reading eight potential sources of diamond door blocks however if we do this in a two by two tunnel then every

You know you get in the way of my speech mr zombie anyway if we do this in a two by two tunnel uh then something you’ll notice is that every four blocks we mine will give us more access to potential or blocks i mean as you can see there’s one two

Three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve however because we mined four blocks to access twelve potential ore veins uh that means that actually we’re only discovering three new blocks for every one we mine as opposed to this way we discover four new blocks for everyone we mind because eight blocks

Being discovered for two blocks worth of mining effort is significantly better than 12 blocks for four blocks and then this scales in every single way the smaller your tunnel the more effective you’ll be at mining diamonds the only reason you should make a bigger tunnel is if you like the aesthetics more than

You like the efficiency in looking for diamonds and uh yeah the other thing about these tunnels is unlike previously where you had to work out a precise layer to mine at you can mine at basically any layer but the most efficient layers are obviously the ones

Closest down to the bottom so yeah what you want to do is you want to mine in a 1×2 tunnel as close to bedrock as you can get without going to where the bedrock is every time you’re seeing a bedrock block this is a potential diamond oil that can’t generate the

Reason for this is because diamond all will replace any stone-based variant that it comes across with the exception being bedrock no block can replace better or no blockers meant to replace bedrock let’s be honest there’s minecraft bugs but that’s not what we’re talking about today and so yeah just

Keep that in mind also keep in mind uh the lower down you mind the more chance you have of running into something like this and you’re not who wants to run into to lava not me wow controversial opinion and so the only other tip you

Need to know besides mine as low as you can where you won’t find bedrock is branch mining this is something that used to be much more relevant before this update i’m going to tell you about it right now to tell you why you probably shouldn’t do it right now

Previously um there were just a ton of diamonds underneath your world and you were mining around trying to find those diamonds and the best way to have a chance of overlapping into as many of those diamond or veins as possible is to mine something like this three blocks

Apart between each of your branches on your main mine this means that you’re still discovering eight brand new blocks for every two that you mine and uh you’re eventually gonna find all of those diamonds the reason this isn’t so smart in a post 1.18 world and this

Isn’t the most effective technique in my opinion is because you’re going to reduce your chance of finding new caves diamond door tends to generate in a pattern that is something like you know two by two blocks white this is what a diamond or vein looks like whereas this

Is what a cave looks like also by the way we found some lava which means that okay let’s not mine into that but i reckon we can mine up into this and not end up dying and if there is lava here i bet there’s a cave here and if there’s a

Cave here i bet there’s some exposed diamonds this is the thinking you have to do the caves are so interlinked and you can actually see if you look right here you can even see past the lava into the the cave up there so there’s a cave

Up there we need to get into let’s assume you don’t have a fire resistance potion all you want to do is get around these lava sources and see if you can maybe find those caves there we go we’re in we’ve done it we’ve sorted it wonderful okay so this is one of the

Tiniest caves i’ve seen in the 1.18 days i mean but still if you count the number of deep state blocks right here that could potentially have diamonds it’s got to be over a hundred which means just two blocks worth of effort or maybe like 10 has yielded us hundreds of potential

Blocks that could have diamonds they just happen to not because diamonds are that rare and so yeah it’s really interesting in my opinion let’s do a little bit more uh branch mining today just actually let’s do the opposite of branch mining let’s do what i actually recommend which is just pick a direction

Mine in it and pray you find into a cave or into something that leads you into a cave because those are going to be the better ways of finding diamonds i can prove that to you right now by having a timer on me uh right now which we’ll do

For the mining duration and i’ll show you how many diamonds i find by doing mining the old school way the most effective way air quotes in terms of mining your blocks and then i’ll show you the difference between doing this and then me just going around into a ton

Of different caves and doing things so before we do that just for some fun facts this is my let’s play wild you’re probably familiar with it but since this is my let’s play i have to point out some penetrate that i i i deliberately left fagan the intro so i could have you

Know people be like oh toy cat you’re missing out this technically speaking um there aren’t three crafting recipes that require the diamond mineral itself as opposed to being able to be traded with a villager um there actually is the firework recipe which uses diamonds as

Well so if for some reason you want the most expensive fireworks in the world you’ll need to do this but also obviously if you want to silt touch the blocks themselves if you want physical diamond or because you want to show how wealthy you are then that’s something

You can do as well anyway let’s do the test now of about 10 minutes of mining around like this versus 10 minutes of cave searching oh we actually found diamonds right after saying that well you know that’s that’s that’s happy i this gets me closer to my goal of 50

Enchantment tables i’m not going to be disappointed with it there’s five five extra diamonds for the pile six extra seven extra diamonds for the pile i’m i’m loving that that’s perfect so yeah you will find diamonds this way of course and this is the best way to find

Diamonds on a per block basis but the reason i’m saying that it’s uh you know potentially questionable is because of how long it takes you to mine this way uh while going through the world even when you have an efficiency five pickaxe there’s just so many little roadblocks

Along the way whether that’s lava whether that’s uh the amount of gravel i’m seeing right now which is making me feel very very claustrophobic to be honest uh but like it regards what you’re gonna find you’re gonna come into a ton of this and it’s just gonna slow

Down the path between you and the diamonds you so desire one of my biggest disappointments on youtube has always been the fact that people don’t find it interesting to just watch someone mine because i’ve always loved mining in minecraft like this is it’s i’m so glad

To be finally doing this after so long i think i think everyone has like weird parts of things they enjoy they know everyone else doesn’t and there’s something even more special about knowing that like it’s your special thing that other people uh don’t like like you like it and uh i’ve always

Thought that’s one of the weirdest quirks of humanity like some people just like the most popular thing out there sure but there’s always no matter how weird or dumb or strange a thing is there’s always someone that will like it and that’s why you shouldn’t give up on

Finding love just now but there we go look at that positive live motivational message while we mine for diamonds by the way you might notice i’m specifically using a non-silk touch pickaxe i think a really interesting change minecraft has made to the meta is that a silk touch pickaxe is objectively

Worse when mining deep slight um again just like ignoring the oars because you’ll get deep slate deep slate as opposed to cobble deep slope which can be used to craft all of these items whereas deep slate can be used to craft okay i’d say all of these items but the

Joke is that nothing shows up on screen you get the point it’s kind of a bummer to see the difference there and so yeah if you want deep slate deep slate using a silk touch pickaxe is still the way to go uh but i actually like this i feel

Like it encourages you to bring free pickaxes when you’re mining because right now i feel like it’s a waste to use my fortune pickaxe when i really just need to not have a silk touch pickaxe and so i might start bringing a third pickaxe with me on mining trips

Which is cool i like when they make these micro adjustments so yeah the thing that would have really helped us out with this technique the most is if we dug into a cave of some form but instead of digging into a cave we just dug into gravel patch after gravel patch

After deep slate after deep slate nothing going on besides those seven diamonds we mind in the first couple of minutes see when you see what i’m doing with these 50 and shaman tables you’ll know that it was worth all of this mining into deep slate that i’ve been

Doing i’d like to be fair i’m still getting some cobble deep slight that i can use later for all sorts of other things but still you get you get the point here okay so i’ve mined for just over 10 minutes and obviously this isn’t the perfect sample size if you wanted to do

A perfectly scientific experiment you’d mine for hundreds of hours using both methods and compare the results however you know what i can say pretty wholeheartedly i mind for actually more than 10 minutes it was this amount of time on the screen and what i i don’t know what that time is because honestly

I i lost my start time so i made sure it’s just over 10 minutes to make it fair but look at this i’ve got this ludicrously long tunnel at the lair where diamonds should be most often but again most often and trying to mine them

This way it’s just never going to be as effective because while mining this way i might have covered absolutely thousands of blocks and indeed it looks like i did um but uncovering thousands of blocks of potential uh diamond veins in 10 minutes it’s just nowhere near as

Quick as uncovering tens of thousands in the same period and uh this is uh despite the fact that there is meant to be reduced their exposure which to explain that comment i made earlier if a diamond block is meant to generate exposed air i.e easier for you to find

The game will deliberately um try and make sure that it is uh you know slightly less likely to generate just some of those blocks that are meant to generate won’t generate to make it so that it’s balanced but to me the balance still isn’t quite there and so getting

Seven diamonds in 10 minutes is actually pretty decent especially because each of those diamonds is worth more than that once we use our good old fortune free pickaxe however the fact that we found 10 diamonds in the first minute or two we were in that cave kind of shows the

Difference already but i want to do an actual fair comparison you can watch the entire time after we go to sleep because obviously it’s easier to look for caves in the morning or at the very least it’s more enjoyable video wise so i’m going to go to this village over here i’m

Going to go to sleep for the night and then i’m going to show you using admittedly my full gear my never i and my elite truck and my uh you know like my silt touch pickaxe i’m gonna show you how many uh diamonds we can find in a

Brand new piece terrain that i haven’t explored if i had explored it i would have taken the diamonds already um but i’m gonna show you some brand new terrain that i don’t know and i’m gonna show you how quickly we can get those same seven diamonds or to be more

Scientific we’ll go for 10 minutes worth of mining um in these new conditions so let’s do precisely that right now let’s start the timer right about now there we go 13 minutes and five seconds into the recording in case you’re curious um i’m gonna go now and i’m gonna show you my

Full 10 minutes of looking around for these things um i do have to say that okay so right here might be a good cave for example there’s gonna be a lot of misfires where we go into caves that actually don’t end up working out and also this is a sort of situation where

We want a night vision potion honestly i had to pause for like 30 seconds after saying that because i realized how smart it would have been if i had brought night vision potions however again we’ll make it a fairer comparison by not using those but obviously if you know what

You’re doing then those are a great way to improve even that so uh the first couple caves we’ve gone into haven’t gone down to diamond left they’ve been uh near kind of useless in that way but i reckon somewhere around here will find a much better example i think

Obviously uh it’s kind of funny the whole thing of like when you’re desperately frantically looking for something you find it less so it’s gonna be much more calm about this and we’re gonna say okay it’s fine we don’t find a cave in the first five minutes we can

Still come out ahead by finding just one good cave in the last five uh but i think we will go faster than that and we will prove the point that at least with the current okay that isn’t a cave it just looked like a cave however this on

The other hand looks like it actually was an entrance to something it’s unlikely to go anywhere when they’re tiny caves i always prefer going into the much bigger cave entrances but sometimes you deal with what you’ve got minecraft uh one of the things that okay here we go [Laughter]

One of the things that makes minecraft so beautiful um in the new generation oh i might have been down this cable ready actually which would which would lower my chance of finding diamonds because i would have taken all the diamonds there’s no uh yeah there’s arrows here so maybe i’ve been through

As a way to get um the spore blossoms because i collected a ton of those you might have noticed earlier yeah okay i’ve been through this cave uh already which means it’s i left some diamonds regular ones anyway because they were just above my head i’m gonna

Again i i you you can only take my word for it if you watch those streams that i was actively trying to mine every darn door i found uh but still two diamond doors it’s still nothing great it’s it’s still a full five diamonds short of

Where we could have been and i honestly looking at this cave i don’t know how i ended up in this thing like it must there must be another entrance leading to more of it somewhere right unless i just oh and then i okay i know this cave

Now um so yeah if we look around there’s there’s nothing really going on here so let’s just fly straight out i think there might be okay i’m just you know i i try not to murder mobs sometimes it’s like my nice little thing like you know you don’t need to

Die and so i’m gonna make sure you don’t but sometimes it’s just too hard to yeah look at this this is was this me actually no this wasn’t me it looks suspiciously like me but it’s just a again this is it looks like a way a password mine but that’s

Just a cave entrance kind of sad to see but all of this there’s no diamonds but you see what i’m saying when i say that just by coming here we found all of those potential uh diamond blocks uh which is pretty pretty amazing honestly if you ask me just how uh minecraft

Generates i think that um the natural wonders of minecraft is significantly increased in this update um and and that’s that’s like one of those great improvements that will just affect things for time to come i think i think in a while we might even have that effect like the nostalgia thing of

People being like yeah i like the old generation better i don’t like when minecraft used to actually have cave biomes i used to like when it was kind of boring down there because everyone has nostalgia um you know for different things but everyone has some level of nostalgia for things and is

This another cave entrance it is it probably isn’t going to go down as deep we’re uh three minutes in and we’ve only found two diamonds so right now you’re thinking like oh so yeah i’ll stick to this but again this is just the reminder that there are so many cave entrances

You can hop into and all it takes is one uh epically big cave and you can here we go one epically big cave coming right up and uh if we look around this um then something we’re going to notice is that it’s quite high up even though it’s

Huge we have loads of potential diamond spawning spots but we don’t have the diamond spawning range the lowest this goes is y20 and so every cave like this i just recommend saying it’s such a big cave it is bound to intersect with another cave somewhere in there and so

Again just just keep walking around until we oh there we go see one of those caves will take you down minecraft does have this natural tendency towards dragging you down um down to its level some would say and uh yeah i usually don’t recommend looking for dams

Underwater but we’re gonna look for like a cave entrance or something to get me out there i don’t think that’s gonna happen but you know it was always worth a try um and again this is proving more of that point that just yeah there are so many blocks here even if diamonds

Were 90 less likely to spawn in a cave which is not the statistic as i understand it um it would still be worth um you know going through here just because you’re uncovering so many more blocks and here we go uh this is a big old deep slate k we’ve got lapis which

Doesn’t count sadly even though it’s just as rare um and uh i’m i’m near sure that somewhere in here we’ll find yeah like oh yes this is let’s see this this is what i love about the let’s play when we’re doing a little experiment that allows me

To have a lot of fun this is this is the dream in the world to me just i’m i’m doing a diamond experiment but i’m getting to explore some of the biggest best caves um still not as low down as we would love because again we’re we’re

Going to find maybe one diamond vein in this entire thing unless we can find another another cave that takes us even lower but still i think one diamond vein is already going to bring us up to where we need to be and then everything after

That in the next five minutes or so is gonna be a bonus i think like would be funny if we literally didn’t find any because this cave just keeps teetering on the verge of where diamond should be but again i i feel pretty comfortable saying

That this cave is so big it has to leave us lead us to diamonds somewhere right it just it’s too big not to but maybe maybe that’s the light okay so here we go another big drop this is where we want to be this is a mine shaft

So we can technically take diamonds from there and add them to our total uh everyone always forgets the end cities and mine shafts are a great and desert temples too are a great source of those extra diamonds uh this is where a night vision potion would come in really handy because i bet

Somewhere around me there’s some diamonds chilling that i’m just not gonna see which is even more nuts when you think about it but this is the number of diamonds i find with my physical eye like eyes i should say i do have more than one um yeah this is there we go

We’re super deep down uh somewhere in this cave we’ll find those diamond goodies uh that will fruit me oh so right or maybe also wrong because again none so far that that first cave might have been just the luck of the day all taken up in one one little

Adventure but either way we’ve led ourselves into another cave um this these endless like shafts which lead into more or like caves which lead into more caves etc are just some of the real joys of caving in this update because now caving is exploration based rather than okay there we go that’s diamonds

Right have i no is that lapis dammit it’s more lappers i’m taking the lappers anyway if i have 50 in shaman tables gonna need some lapis to go along with it right but it just makes sense that that’s going to be true um so yeah only uh only a lap is blocked

So far but there we go diamonds perfect so now here we are admit oh two two you wait all this time to find diamonds and then two sharper ones uh just this one vein a little this one little find alone already brings us up to okay so

That’s uh four diamonds now and that’s six diamonds no we’re we’re now one diamond short where we need to be with three minutes to find more but again i feel like the next three minutes will be more productive than the last few also i wonder if that air exposure counts water

Or if um because again if you if you read the description diamonds are likely to generate less likely generate than that they would be exposed to where does water count as air or is this like the world’s best kept secret that like you can find a ton of this

It’s a it’s a good question i don’t know the answer and i don’t know how i would find the answer but i have now found myself i what is that like 18 eight diamonds sorry i think i’m under counting because i i was busy talking about uh the magic that might be water

Um i’ve got luckily i’ve got another full minute and a half to try and make sure that it’s definitively better but i think that the more important thing though here to bear in mind is i think actually fun i think now i think minecraft i think they do really

Well on current updates is giving you more pathways to the same things you know even though you might say it’s kind of okay wow you might say it’s kind of unfair that they um you know made it so you could trade a villagers for diamonds because they removed the point of mining for

Diamonds i i think i’ve probably have said something to that effect oh man more diamonds i’ve said something to that effect over the last while however i think this is uh kind of um missing the point they’re just giving more pathways to the same items i think

There is a problem sometimes of too many pathways to the same items that can remove the point of it um i i don’t know there’s there’s lots of great examples of this i’m sure uh but i feel like um the in general uh certain items that you

Can only get in one way are much worse than their equivalents which have a ton of different variety of variety that comes in actually finding them i’m really hoping in the last 20 seconds we can find even more uh diamond veins 10 seconds here can we do this i’m sure we

Can why am i killing skeletons when i should be looking for some diamonds i think you’ll find that in the last 10 minutes we got our hands on 12 deep slate and two diamond door which means we did double the performance that we did while mining and

Personally i think i had more fun this way also personally even better than that all of the other ores that i could have mined but chose not to i mean all the deep slate gold that we found for instance is a big one this is a proof in my opinion elsie

Unscientific 10 minutes is not as effective as hundreds of hours also for what it’s worth i think uh generally speaking going into any scientific experiment expecting through results is gonna mess with the results and i did want to say that yeah the best thing to do is to cave because that’s been my

Experience so far um but trying to validate your own experiences with data isn’t a great thing again very unscientific in so many ways do not treat this as scientific data however what you can treat this as as uh you know like if you want to justify doing

The more fun thing in minecraft which is to go caving in my opinion then you can do that however you can also use the data and say actually it’s only half as slow to go mining in a straight line and for some reason i’m a masochist and i

Love mining in a straight line and so i’m just gonna stick to that and it’s totally valid to say you want to do that i now have 29 deep slate diamond doors plus my two regular diamonds which means we’re probably on a decent path the way to getting 50 in charming tables if

You’re curious about how i’m gonna find the rest i do intend to explore this mineshaft fully and it’s a very weird mine shaft because it’s apparently filled with drip stone which is cool that you can find these kind of weird hybrids of cave biomes and new structures it’s one of those great

Things honestly the fact that you can find uh mine shafts near the diamond layers at all is already a big improvement uh over the old mine shafts and just it’s something i like oh no we don’t even get any diamonds we just get some coal and a golden apple how sad

Not very sad is the answer i’m gonna take that golden apple gonna enjoy it okay i’m out of the mine shaft with zero diamonds which is sad now i’m in a new lush cave by him if i could find explore boston to take home that would be nice

Otherwise i’ll just take the diamonds if the game offers them to me aha finally we got our hands on at least one new diamond i’m worried though this is gonna be one of those diamonds where most of the vein uh generated uh in what is now air blocks and yep just another single

Diamond block so yeah if single diamond blocks are your worst nightmare which honestly sometimes i’ll i feel that then this is the worst uh update for you however if you like the new caving and opportunities to that this is a very wonderful little thing while coming out of the cave i’m finding

Diamonds and just walls and stuff that i missed on the way back so it’s always cool to know that like yep you might find some extra ones on the way out but yeah i have 33 diamonds now i’m going to take my chances and see how many of my

50 in shaman tables i can make with just this and uh yeah now the fun but oh here’s here more more diamonds that are just like entirely missed yeah honestly we’re going to end up with enough diamonds just on the way out of this

Thing uh which by the way is one of the real challenges i would say in uh the new caves is you will end up lost more often than you can imagine is possible however because they’ve got such high ceilings you just have to find you have to do the reverse the thing you

Did earlier and just continuously find up if you’ve got elytras that’s easy you just firework up if you don’t life can get painful pretty quickly so yeah you might want to you might want to just prepare for that oh this is so cool this is the cave from earlier that

I was in and i like you can see i was down there and now i’ve ended up in a bit that like kind of looks into there that i never would have like thought about the this is the sort of generation that just makes me happy with myself

And the world but yeah still trying to get out not having the best of luck so far oh found some found some regular diamonds though these are very rare now they are rarer than deep slate diamonds by quite a bit so always be happy when you find them

So yeah something else that i think probably is important and needs to be mentioned besides bring some gold if you’re going through the nether because piglets are not a fan of this never right stuff i don’t know what’s happening here but i love it um so yeah what we’re going to

Do right now just for fun just for the fun of it is i’m going to place all of my deep slate diamonds down the reason i’m going to do this this is obvious to anyone who’s played minecraft for a while but in case this is your first

Video hello yes we’re a little bit rambling getting to the point sometimes but hello onbx toycat and did you know uh that the fastest way to turn your uh your diamond or into diamonds is not to use a regular pickaxe or even you can use a silt touch pickaxe to temporarily

Take it but what you’re gonna want to use in the actual long run is a fortune free pickaxe in fact the first diamonds you mine in your world you’re forgiven for using three of them to make a pickaxe and even then that’s kind of debatable you’ll forgive them for using

Uh you know because you need obsidian for a thing and then you need to use two diamonds to make an enchantment table after that you should be trying as hard as you can to get fortune before you mine any more diamonds because fortune can give you up to four diamonds for

Every single block you mine which means these 34 diamonds i want to say i place down on the ground um all of a sudden are gonna turn into wow look how many diamonds i’m getting it’s ludicrous i can make myself 12 enchantment tables i can make myself 16 wait 14 in sharpening

Tables i can make myself 16 in sharper tables it’s crazy just how many enchantment tables are rolling in all of a sudden and uh yeah it’ll allow you also because diamonds give you a lot of experience you can make sure you’re doing it on a pickaxe that you know

Needs to help and so yeah 34 diamond door is not worth 34 diamonds getting you know like uh you know almost 20 diamonds in 10 minutes does not mean getting 20 diamonds in 10 minutes unless you just want them for the oars it means actually getting significantly more than

That for real i’ve got so many diamonds they’re dropping on the ground now it’s it’s a big problem i have so now we’ll just place the three diamonds we have left on the ground and see how many uh this actually equated to in total as you can

See in the end after everything is said and done we have 60 plus we have 93 diamonds we’re just seven short of what we need to make a uh 50 in charming tables and you know what the best bit is uh you might have noticed at

The start of this video i had almost exactly that number and so guess what we’re doing today obviously if i’m going to make so many enchantment tables though i need a ton of books wow how do you craft books you need leather which i

Have and you need what else is it oh you need you need paper if only there was some access to ludicrous amounts of paper wow do i have a farm that covers just that the people say wow why do you make it so big and manual what’s even

The point to a cat you know what no this is the point right here i’m ready for this situation that you’re you’re miles behind on and uh yeah jokes aside obviously i’m gonna quickly uh make some of these it’s gonna be wonderful oh man this is such a costly recipe that it

Actually feels wrong to hit like the you know the quick craft button and make 50 all at once i think i’m gonna have to manually hit it at least a few times and then oh boom 50 50 enchantment tables that felt weird to press but ugly satisfying anyway why do

I want 50 in shaman tables again oh no i wanted 50 jukeboxes that’s what i wanted damn well i guess i’ve got the enchantment tables anyway i guess what we can also do is um now more seriously this is my little enchanted valley i love what the spore

Blossoms add to the place like there’s something interesting about this like vibe that they’re giving off i i think that actually is quite an interesting little flow that they can add together however i was figuring you know what else this place needs i think what it

Needs are some extra trees that add some magic to the place i did never trees to it i added big mushrooms to it um but what i think it also needs are maybe some enchantment table trees i think or rather inshama tabled mushrooms i feel like even though i’m not using this

Place for active enchantment anymore wouldn’t it be cool if we had an enchantment table tree just like this and so that is precisely uh what i’m adding to it what what is the benefit of an enchantment table mushroom what i mean what is the benefit of any mushroom

For real though like you ever you have a question how many varieties of mushroom we have whenever i go to the store at least the expensive store i’m just shocked by how many types of mushrooms there are and how expensive they can all get oh man there is

This is not an experience most people get in survival i think there’s a reason most people craft only one or two of these but um yeah this is this is something to look at huh uh yeah you can use just 28 um mushrooms and you can make an

Enchantment table mushroom i feel like we might need to make it bigger it looks a little bit a little bit anemic yeah let’s try this the second mushroom which we’ll place of uh i think we’ll place it near the entrance on the other side again yeah i put a lot

Of effort into these i want to make sure people are seeing them um maybe that’s a crazy opinion um this time we’ll use a mushroom we’re using chomp table as the center rather than having one stick out and then if we got 28 we can go seven by four or we can

Go like three by three actually let’s go five by five first and then i see how that’s gonna end poorly actually but i’ve already committed so you know i am out for other options so that is uh where we’re starting this and then we’ll just place free extra

Which means i guess we place like free over here and then you know we need more enchantment tables i think that’s the only way yeah i think we’re gonna have to mine these blocks out there’s no other way to to see that uh but there we go now i’ve got two

Spare enchantment tables yeah it’s just it’s it’s slightly off-center and that’s gonna bug you know all we have to do is just make the stem be off-center slightly uh kind of like an acacia treat oh this is the wrong pickaxe for this job okay let’s switch that out to this one

Uh i reckon all we have to do with this is we just like have the stem kind of be two blocks why oh we have to crouch there we go and now we’ve made ourselves an enchantment tree mushroom it took an entire hour once you add in all the all

The extra time getting out the cave and coming over here and crafting but was it not worthwhile i think you’ll find it was so since one of the key things i do in this let’s play is to tell you what i’ve been up to in the lot past week i

Don’t have a vlog series or anything and a lot of people curious what’s been going on in the world of toy cat um i’ve been uh i it’s you know it’s like that run up to christmas i guess that just kind of sneaks up me every year

I’ve been doing a lot of live streaming which has been like a really um you know like good thing in in certain ways and it’s been uh kind of like i know it’s been a lot of uh it’s been very draining in other ways but i think sometimes it’s good to just have

Like these all-out moments because when when you go all out sometimes it makes you feel less bad about the times that you don’t um and given that january is like always the big you know like take take some time off like ease off the pedal a little bit um i feel like

Uh this has always been my reaction whenever i’ve been going on an actual like you know travel or holiday or vacation or whatever people call it um whenever i’m about to go on one i always like i feel like a desire to like work extra hard like okay this is stuff i

Can’t do for a while now let’s get it all out as hard as we can and even if even if subconsciously i don’t need to do it i’m like but i want to you know i i there’s just something um about uh i i feel like when you’re about to lose something

You uh you act very differently to when like it’s it’s all the way there all the time and it’s uh it’s probably a scary piece of logic that we are better off about by the way i really actually i genuinely love these enchantment table trees i really love the vibe they add i’m

Gonna put one up there there we go that’s cool right um i actually actually really do like these i feel like they add a lot of value and it’s just it’s very fun you know we should make an enchantment table biome right that’s the only logical way to

Look at this anyway speaking of logical ways to look at things the logical way to look at this uh video is by saying that it’s basically over next week i’ve got a lot of fun ideas i this the cool thing about this update and all the new

Blocks that it’s made easier is there’s just so many ideas i want to play around with but i’ll be doing that in between now next week if you want to check out those streams it’s streamless i’m streaming as many days as humanly possible over the course of december and

If you’d like to join me then you can and if you wouldn’t like to join me then wow so rude that you know i i get it you don’t you could you could say a bit polite more politely next time but um no i hope you enjoyed uh your day i hope

This taught you a thing or two about diamonds um and if it didn’t then i hope i’ll see you all next time anyway goodbye You
