Sugar Cane Auto Farm! ▫ The Minecraft Survival Guide (1.13 Lets Play / Tutorial) [Part 10]

Hello everyone my name is pixel riffs and welcome back to the Minecraft Survival Guide I hope you guys are having a wonderful day today if my memory serves me correctly is the tenth episode of the Minecraft Survival Guide and in these last 10 episodes I think we’ve actually set ourselves up really

Really well in this Minecraft world we have ourselves a wonderful house a portal to the nether a cow farm a wheat farm some sugarcane growing out there the chickens down here feeding me eggs every now and again and potion brewing enchanting storage it’s all coming together so so well and that the

Enchanting table is actually what I want to focus on for today’s episode because as we covered in our previous episode on an introduction to enchanting we don’t really have the top level in chance that we could be getting out of this thing because we don’t have any bookshelves surrounding it right now

We’ll only be able to get enchantments that act from up to level 1 to about level 10 or so they still only cost one two or three levels but you need 10 experience levels in order to get the top level enchants here you need 30 to

Get the top level enchants that it is possible to get out of an enchantment table and that is really our goal for today because those level 30 enchantments are going to be so much more effective they’re going to be the top level kind of enchants that you’ll

Be able to get on your tools and armor and that is what we want to aim for today we want to use some of those diamonds that we acquired in the nether fortress and enchants some really top level gear and to do that we need to

Make a lot of bookshelves and to make bookshelves of course we need books now as we’ve learned in a previous episode you get books from sugar cane making 3 sugar cane into 3 paper and a 1 leather which we’ll be getting from those cows and we have a fair amount of leather

Already so we can definitely make a start with that the problem right now is the sugar cane this grows kind of slowly right now and I’ve been harvesting it occasionally here and there replanting it where I can but the sugar cane farm is very small right now and it’s going

To take us a lot of waiting in order to get enough sugar cane to make the amount of books that we want even as I come back into the house here and look for the sugar cane that I put down earlier we’ve only got four in there that’s not

Even enough to make two books yet so we do need to expand the sugar cane farm a little there are a couple of places around here that we can actually go and get more sugarcane though we might be able to harvest manually out here in the world

Although it’s getting dark so I don’t want to stray too far away from the house but there’s a little patch of sugarcane just on the other side of this pond that I think we might try and grab before night falls I did spot it earlier

That I thought I thought I might as well go over and harvest some of that so we’ve got the maximum amount of sugarcane that we can have to start off today’s project what I want to do is create a couple of different sugar cane farm designs and let you guys choose

Which one you would like because there are a few different options when it comes to doing stuff in Minecraft you can farm stuff manually you can go for a kind of high yield manual farm or alternatively you can set up a little farm that might be a little smaller but

Can do stuff for you automatically so you’re free to get on with whatever you want to do in the background so we’ll we’ll look into a couple of these designs today we’ll actually end up building both of them and then we’ll end up picking our favorites maybe in the

Comments you guys can decide which one you prefer and then we’ll end up using that as our sugar cane farm for the series going forward but before we do all that I just noticed there’s a bucket of lava still in my inventory which I

Sort of want to get rid of I don’t want to be carrying that around just in case I accidentally place it somewhere and it burns down my house so I’m going to put it here in the furnace where it will be safe because buckets of lava are

Actually a really useful fuel let’s talk about fuel for a second actually because I feel like we haven’t discovered the full extent of fuel in Minecraft with you guys so let’s let’s take a quick look here so with wood which is a very easy to acquire resource you get it from

The minute you start in the Minecraft well the first thing you do is acquire wood wood will actually cook stuff pretty well I mean if you break it down into sticks to sticks will cook one item in Minecraft so it will smelt one piece of iron or it will cook one porkchop old

Piece of steak or whatever you want to make but the problem there is that you want to be using the wood for other stuff you need it for crafting and building and all sorts of other things so you don’t necessarily want to waste your wood on being fuel to that end you

Have coal coal is a very easily acquired and pretty useful source of fuel one piece of coal will smelt up to eight blocks so you can have you know eight porkchops eight pieces of iron eight pieces of gold whatever it doesn’t matter it just smelt it eight times lava can smelt

Things 100 times a single bucket of lava when placed in a furnace will cook up to a hundred items and in fact you can’t even place a hundred items in a furnace at the same time because stacks of items in Minecraft only go up to a maximum of

64 so you actually need to feed stuff into the furnace and take it out manually or use hoppers to feed it in and take it out in order to get the full efficiency out of your use of a bucket of lava but even so if you just want to

Throw a stack of stone in there and let it be there’s plenty of lava around you saw the nether last episode there’s a lot of it you you can just leave the lava in there and it will cook that right up for you you will even get the

Bucket back so that’s that’s a little lesson on lava and you can also make coal blocks if you put eight nine coal rather into a square like so it will it will make a block of coal that will smelt 80 items which is slightly more efficient than I think 72 you would get

Out of nine pieces of coal so that’s that’s actually another way of making coal a little bit more efficient but again you might want to use coal for other stuff you might need it for torches you might even use blocks of coal as building blocks if you’re

Feeling adventurous and you have a lot of them anyway I’m going to put these eggs away now and let’s get back to talking about sugarcane farms and for that actually we might need a couple of buckets other than the bucket of lava that we just placed in there how about

We grab a little bit of iron and let’s make two buckets for a second we should only need one generally speaking but we’ll make two for the purposes of this demonstration so I’m gonna watch the recipe for making a bucket for a second there we go let’s grab two of those and

Let’s head outside to the lake so the lake right now has been a decent place to harvest this sugarcane from but we want to expand our operation a little bit and for that we get to talk about how water behaves in Minecraft because we’re going to need to move some of this

Water somewhere else now you’ll notice that all of this water is looking very still none of it is flowing around and that is because this is all made of water source blocks and a source block is something that you cannot take out a bucket of water that disappeared kind of

Quickly but it’s there let’s try that again a whoop there it is okay and if you have source blocks around a block where they can flow into that block then they will reform another water source block let me give you a better example of that here by digging a

Three-block deep a three block wide trench like so now if I place a bucket of water at one end this is still a source block even though it’s got this flowing texture but the water will flow down here in fact it will flow for a maximum of eight blocks before it runs

Out of steam and ends up not occupying that last block there so you’ve got a full run of eight blocks that water diminishes down to nothing and nowhere along this flowing water can you fill up your bucket you only have to fill it up at the water source at the end here so

This leads to a couple of quite interesting mechanics in Minecraft so you can you can experiment with those at your leisure but the one we want to focus on today is creating an infinite water source so if you put down a bucket on that end then it’s flowing that way

If you put down a bucket on this end then you’d have a source block here and a source block here and what it does is flow together in the middle and create a third source now if I take this out it will reform again and you’ll be able to

Fill up your buckets from here and this is probably the smallest infinite water source you can make just with these three blocks here if you take out one of the one of the pieces of water from the end though it ends up flowing again and eventually you can just diminish your

Water source back down to nothing because you’re taking it out from one end and it doesn’t have another water source next to it to reform itself there is another way you can make an infinite water source which you might have seen other people do and this is arguably better because

With the water sources here if you place them on opposite corners like so it will end up creating a two by two water source and any any place you take water out of from this section so at any of these four corners that you take the

Water out of it will refill it because it always has two water sources on either side to fill it back up again so this is actually a slightly more effective infinite water source just because you can take it from anywhere and it doesn’t take up a huge amount

More room than the three by one design over there but having infinite water in Minecraft means that you don’t have to empty out of this entire lake if you want to create another lake somewhere else or if you want a lot of water for water streams that are carrying items

Around and stuff like that you only need to create an infinite water source and then you can have as much water as you want you could drown the whole world if you wanted to but I recommend it so for today we’re going to be using this in order to create a kind

Of a kind of very efficient manual sugarcane farm and we’re also going to use it to create the automatic show you came farm in a little bit but we will need less of the water and more technology for that one this one is going to be purely made by hand with a

Shovel and and with an infinite water source and we’ll just pop down the sugarcane around these sources so this is the way I like to do it because this way actually becomes very space efficient even though it doesn’t look this way at first so you can place

Sugarcane next to a water block on any of the four sides of that block right so it stands to reason that you should also be able to place it sugarcane kind of adjacent to these sugar canes here if you have another water source block

There so we can fill it up like that and if we just keep going with this pattern all we need to do is go to across and one down dig another hole here place another bucket of water in there and you fill up all of the space around it and

Now by following this same pattern we can actually stagger all of the sugarcane and make this kind of pinwheel pattern where you have a basically a fields worth of sugarcane with no blocks gone to waste so again we’ll go over to and down one or put another water source

Here and we’ll be able to start filling it up there I hope I’ve explained that alright I hope that makes some sense to you but realistically you can basically build a sugar cane farm however you want you can have it in long rows you can

Have it around a lake like this as long as the blocks you’re placing them on are dirt grass or sand you should be able to plant the sugarcane any way you like but if you want to grow a huge amount of it in the smallest area possible this is a

Decent start you can just follow this pattern around here and you’ll be able to place sugar cane anywhere outside of the water source blocks themselves and you can even take some trapdoors which I’ve got in my inventory handily and put them over the top of the water source

Blocks just by looking at the bottom of these sugar cane there so don’t place them inside here because you’ll just end up having the trapdoor in there with the water although I don’t know in 1.13 can you do that now oh you can a wonderful I didn’t realize that was an option so

Yeah you can in fact have the trapdoors now a level with the water blocks thanks to the water logging but place in Minecraft 1.13 but in earlier versions you might want to place the trapdoors just above the water level by looking at the side of the sugar cane

Like that so that makes her job a little bit easier and in fact you could probably use some other waterlogged blocks for this like waterlogged stairs or slabs or something like that in order to grow the sugarcane around here now of course this doesn’t make the sugarcane grow any faster in fact when

You start off with a small amount of sugarcane it’s actually going to feel really really slow so you might want to go and do something else while your sugar cane grows but each time it grows up to a block higher you can take that off and the remaining sugarcane will

Stay planted which means you can come back and harvest at any time it grows and just keep adding to this until you’ve got a lot of it because obviously once you have a lot you’re going to be able to get a lot more when it all grows

Up so now what I’m gonna do is spend a little bit of time waiting for this to grow maybe looking a little way around the local area to see if I can spot any more sugarcane we can bring back here and add to this farm and then we’ll see

How long it takes to grow and how much we get when we harvest it all you’ll sometimes find sugarcane growing along the edges of rivers so it’s sometimes a good idea to check out nearby rivers if you have them let’s see if there’s anything down here other than a couple

Of interesting looking caves and a water source block that’s kind of hanging in midair let’s let’s give that a block update shall we there we go whoo that’s that’s now flowing as it should what a strange thing anyway let’s hop over here and see if there’s any sugarcane growing

Further down here we’re getting a little bit of sea grass and so forth but it doesn’t look like there’s much down this little valley this is leading up into the extreme hills so not a huge chance of finding anything like that around here but you never know alright let’s

Head over to the swamp and see if we can find anything over there here we go as we’re heading out into the swamp I think we all find a couple more patches of sugarcane around here let’s take the top off of this one so that it will always

Grow back here but we’ll grab two sugarcane from that let’s see what else is out here let’s get up to a higher vantage point and see if we can spot any Oh looks like there’s loads growing over there so let’s grab some of that let’s

Grab this one as we go past I’m being faked out a little bit here by all of the the sea grass that’s growing up over here but you know what we’ll take a quick swim through the river I keep looking at this and thinking it might sugar cane in the distance and it’s

Actually sea grass up close so let’s let’s grab some of this luckily when the world actually generates is sometimes generates sugarcane when it’s already three blocks high so you don’t have to wait for it to grow and this looks like the perfect place to grab a little bit

More there’s even some over there as well let’s go get it and you might be wondering why I’m not just turning all of this into paper as I gather it and the main reason is that we might need books in future we might need to make more bookshelves for decoration purposes

You can actually enchant books with different enchantments instead of straight up in chanting your tools so it’s actually useful to have a farm for it as well while I’m here I might actually grab some of these pumpkins which seem to be growing naturally in a swamp because I don’t think we’ve had

Pumpkins before I’ve noticed some of them growing up on the hill near our little base but I do want to grab a couple of pumpkins while I’m out here in the swamp and the swamp feels like a nice place to get them doesn’t it another thing I might grab while I’m

Here at the swamp is these lovely blue orchid flowers which can be used to make a light blue dye but also look really great as decorative flowers so let me grab those and then I think we’ve got as much sugarcane as we’re going to get from around this area so let’s head back

To the base and add it to the farm oh I spoke too soon there’s a bunch of it over here and this one has even grown to four blocks tall which never happens when you plant sugar cane but occasionally in the world they will generate like that so that’s kind of

Special we’re gonna cut it down anyway because I want the sugar cane at this point and remember when you’re going on a trip like this it’s important to keep track of where you are keep track of your surroundings and at the very least make sure you have the coordinates of

Your base on you or a map that will guide you back home you can even make a compass that will take you back to your spawn point and if we’ve started our little cottage over here near the spawn point it will always point in that direction now that these floating

Sections of the mountains here are actually a really good landmark so I’ve occasionally been looking up in the sky to check where they are just to make sure I know my way back home but it’s nice and easy we should be able to get back here before night falls because we

Didn’t bring a bed with us so we couldn’t exactly sleep while we were out there in the swamp let’s hop down here and the sugar came to the farm and then get a good night’s rest good morning and we’ve got a visitor held the back of our little house which

Was preventing me from getting some sleep during the night until he moved a little bit we’re gonna try and dispatch him here with a couple of swift blows of the axe fantastic stuff apparently the squid tried to die in sympathy I guess and here we have ourselves a fully grown patch of nether

Wart out here which I think we may as well harvest while we’re out the back here now nether wart when it’s fully grown it looks like this it’s kind of there are three stages of growth when it’s small when it’s kind of medium sized like those two are and when it’s

Large like that and as we break it here you’ll see we get loads of nether walk back we got eight just from those stalks there and we’ll get a few more from these and that there we go we’ve got sixteen now so all we need to do is

Replant those and we come away with twelve nether wart just like the crops that we’re growing in the field over there means we can have as much nether waters we want as long as we keep growing it out the back there now back to our little sugarcane farm out here

You can see that there are no blocks in this little patch here which are not taken up by either sugarcane or a water source block that’s necessary to place sugarcane next to so we’re doing pretty well over here and we have 15 sugarcane left over plus we’re getting a little

Bit from these stalks over here which are still growing which is good we’re going to keep this farm here for a little while just for aesthetic purposes because it looks nice around the lake here but with these seventeen or maybe a couple more sugarcane we are going to

Start an automatic farm design to farm sugarcane while we run around doing other things and farm it automatically for us and then you guys can decide which one you would prefer to have in your own world and build whichever one you like and this means our first

Redstone project folks so here we go we’re going to grab all of the redstone dust that we have in here we might not use it all but it’s going to be important to grab a bunch of it we’re also going to grab maybe 16 iron ingots

So it’s important to have a large amount of iron for this so make sure that you’ve gone mining you’ve got yourself a bit of iron and that you’re not going to use that for extra tools or anything like that if you’ve got a few diamonds in supply then you should be okay for

Tools and stuff like that we’re going to grab a whole bunch of wood basically as much wood as we’ve got right now and we’re also going to grab as much cobblestone as we can carry in this case we don’t quite have a full stack we

Might need to get a little bit more but that should be fine so what we’re going to do now is open up the recipe book go to the redstone components section and for a start we’re going to make a couple of observer so you will need a few of these in fact

I think we will only need two of those so let’s just make two and then let’s collect the rest of the recipe ingredients and put them back in here now we need to make pistons and for some reason the piston recipe isn’t showing up but I think that’s because we need to

Break the wood down into planks like so there we go Pistons let’s see how many of those we can make twelve is a good number I think that will probably do ideally we would need 16 for the farm design I have in mind but we’re going to grab twelve

Pistons to start off with and I think that will work alright in fact we might actually grab one more iron from here and make another redstone component by making a chest here like so and by making a hopper out of it with the five iron ingots around a

Chest here now the piston recipe is one redstone one iron full cobblestone and three wooden planks across the top so you will need a lot of materials to make a lot of Pistons and it’s important that you grab a bunch of that and you don’t just run out halfway through so let’s

Let’s take these out here and we’re going to work on a little automatic farm design kind of opposite the entrance to our ham so I think we’ll place it over here so let’s clear out a nice little area for this out here so let’s talk about what we’ve just made pistons our

Blocks which can push other blocks in Minecraft when they have a redstone signal applied to them when they are switched on or off in fact I have enough cobblestone left over that I can make a lever and demonstrate this so if I place the lever next to this piston and turn

It on the piston head pushes out and it will push something one block over so if I place a piece of dirt in front of this it will push it like that and it will stay there that the piston doesn’t hold on to it right now you can make a sticky

Piston that does do that but we’re not going to worry about those the observer block is a really interesting one because this will put out a redstone signal if the block in front of it changes somehow so I’m gonna put a little bit of redstone dust over here to

Give you a quick example and if I place a dirt block in front of that see how that flashes for a second there that means it’s powering the redstone dust behind it for a fraction of a second in fact that is calculated as one redstone tick the redstone tick thing is not

Something you need to memorize unless you’re working very heavily with redstone but it’s kind of useful later on and what happens with this is if you have say a piston attached to the end of this redstone wire like so and then you place a dirt block in front of

It like that the piston will temporarily very very quickly push out and then retract again what this means is if you have sugarcane growing in front of this it will actually break the sugarcane so let me just quickly dig down here oh I’ve got some stone underneath there

Place a water source in there and then place some sugarcane in front of it now if I take this dirt block away once again updating the block in front of the observer see the sugarcane gets pushed it gets turned into the item form of sugarcane the same way it does when

We break it manually over there and then that can get pushed into a water stream that can flow down into something that can collect it like a hopper attached to a chest so what we’re going to do here is collect a bunch of these Pistons in a

Row and grow sugar cane along the front of them have an observer detect when the sugarcane grows up towards it and that way we can have the Pistons pushing out as soon as the sugar cane grows to a certain height and it will harvest all of the sugarcane for you pushing it into

A water stream and allowing it to gather in a collection chest so we’re going to build that over here we’re going to need a few building supplies for that so let’s let’s actually go and get some different building supplies I feel like we need to start building with different

Types of woods than just oak and the occasional bit of birch let’s go and find some spruce wood spruce wood can typically be found in cold and mountainous regions of the world so you’re looking at cold taiga biomes or up here in the mountains let’s see if we

Can hop up here and grab some of the spruce that I can see growing on the top there this might involve a little bit of pillar ring every now and again because it’s sometimes difficult to traverse these big mountains but there we go a tall mountain spruce ready to be chopped

Down by our lumberjack in axe let’s do this and of course as with the other tree types the spruce trees will drop saplings that allow you to regrow them back at home so we’re going to see if we can grab grab as many spruce saplings as

We can before the Sun once again goes down there we go we’ve got a couple now we’ve got one here we’ll hopefully get a couple more out of this tree actually it looks like one might be all we’re going to get well fair enough one will be all

We need let’s make our way home and now with a single spruce saplings and a little bonemeal we should be able to grow ourselves another spruce tree which will hopefully give us even more saplings and then we can start a wonderful spruce farm here and of course we didn’t get

Any saplings from that whatsoever so I better go back up there if I want to get some more see that time I took only took down two trees I got 9 saplings back so the moral of the story is minecraft doesn’t always play fair so having gathered a little bit more spruce wood

And broken it down into planks we’re going to place them over here like so we’re gonna make a row here of one two three four five six then we’re going to leave a block and make another row of one two three four five six and it’s here that we’re going to place the

Pistons on top of those facing outwards like this going one two three four five six and then on the other side the same now we’re going to cut a trench down here we’re going to go one two three four five six blocks along like that we’re going to place a bucket of water

At this end so it flows along this way and we can even divert it that way into this middle block here and right here is where we’re going to collect the items from both sides so on this side we’ll dig a similar trench one two three four

Five six and then curve it round that way and on that block there we can put our hopper they’ll have a space here for our collection chests and we’ll just be able to grab sugarcane out of that whenever the farm has harvested it looks like that’s all flowing down into that

Spot fantastic stuff now the next trick is to build a little platform between these pistons like so we’re going to build that along there and that will serve as the place where we’re going to put down our redstone wire and it will also give a platform from which to place

These observers now we’re only going to put one observer on each side of these so it’s only going to detect when a certain set of sugarcane stalks has reached the three block height the maximum height sugar cane can have and that is going to be fairly random so the

Farm isn’t going to fire all the time but it does mean we get to conserve the little quartz and redstone that we have in some farm designs you will see entire rows of observers along here so that the pistons will fire whenever any of the sugarcane has grown to three height

Rather than just one specific one but we’re going to place it facing that way so that the red dot is on this side and the face that detects the sugar cane growing is on this side we’re going to do the same on the opposite side but for a an arbor

Very a completely random chosen piston and then we’re going to place redstone dust all the way along the edge here and what this is going to do is anytime a sugarcane grows here I can use this as an example you’ll find sugarcane growing up to three high all around this and

It’s not going to make much of a difference if it grows there but then on the other hand if it grows next to that one here like so all of the pistons will fire and they will fire on both sides because this line of redstone dust actually connects the two of them and

That will power every single piston at once and they’ll get pushed off now as you can see this isn’t a completely lost free system some of the sugarcane has ended up down here and that’s fantastic but some of it has landed on the grass there and some of it has landed on the

Other site we can’t do very much about it landing over here because this right here is going to be wait a minute this isn’t a great design because there’s nothing we can do about placing a sugar cane there all right I’ll take that off we don’t need those

Two Pistons on the side then maybe maybe we could have one on the end here or something I don’t know we could we could maybe grow on there and then have that come off into the water stream as well that might work okay so if we can we can

Have the the redstone dust go around the corner here to another piston facing that way this is going to be a bit of a strange design him in general but I think it should work I think it should be alright so we’ll do the same on this

Side as well and then this side will grow and and all the pistons will fire whenever it grows up as far as that one so what we can do about the pistons pushing sugarcane onto the opposite side here is build a wall maybe out of glass maybe out of spruce or something like

That so that we can we can shield this side over here and so that anytime any of the pistons fire they’re pushing them into the wall and they’ll drop straight into the water and still get collected over here by the hopper so we’re only really going to lose the ones that are

Placed on the grass here there we go we’ve cooked up a little bit of glass and I’m going to pop that down there like so and now whenever the sugarcane breaks it should go straight into this wall of glass here and it gives us a

Nice place to look in at the sugar cane so that’s all going to drop into the water streams be carried down to the end here where we’re going to have it collected in a hopper and that’s given me a great excuse to explain to you guys how hoppers work hoppers are a fantastic

Little collection device in a mine craft and where they collect stuff and where they what they output into depends entirely on which way you place them so if you place it facing a block that’s below it like so the hopper pipe will be facing downwards and anything that goes

Into the hopper from the top will end up collected in any chest or any any kind of collection mechanism that you have down here so it can be anything that’s got an inventory basically except from a player it can be a chest it can be a dropper a dispenser even another hopper

Anything like that so if I pop a couple of pieces of glass in here now you’ll notice they start to disappear and they all end up in this chest hoppers can also be placed on the side of chests like so and you’ll notice that where

I’ve placed it now it means that the the chicken has come to check out our little sugarcane farm it means that the pipe faces into the chest and now anything that comes into the top of the hopper will be directed into the chest from the

Side like so so what we’re going to do is dig out a little trench here for our double chest to go in it’s going to be popped in there like so we’ll take a look at the side there so we can make it a double chest we’ll take out this dirt

Block here and we’ll very carefully place the hopper on to the side of the chest like so that should now be directed into the chest let’s quickly test that let’s quickly test that it works fantastic stuff okay so that’s now going to cut off any of the sugarcane

That grows up to three blocks tall in front of these observers the observers will fire the pistons the Pistons will push the sugarcane into this water stream the water stream will collect it in the hopper and it’ll go into the chest fantastic stuff and we even have a

Nice little build here that we can do something fun with we can turn this into a greenhouse maybe or something like that but either way it’s a fairly economical sugar cane Otto farm design all you need is a bunch of pistons a little bit of redstone wire and a couple

Of observers and you should be just right but look at this look at how much sugarcane we have from our manual farm already in the time that it’s taken us to set up the automatic farm which let’s be real is going to be very convenient to have it’s going to be absolutely

Perfect to have a an auto farm but in the meantime whilst we’ve been doing all of that stuff the manual farm has given us over a stack of sugarcane not to mention the stuff that’s grown over here so I’m not saying the manual farm is better because it does mean you have to

Come over and punch the you cane anytime you want it where as the automatic farm automatically punches it forever so you never need to worry about it all you need to do is come over here and check this chest to see if any has amassed in there but you know what I

Think we might even have enough sugarcane now that we can make a bunch of paper and we can make a bunch of books with that and we should hopefully be able to make enough for our enchanting table bookshelves so let’s go and see how much leather we have and

That will tell us how many cows we need to kill to get some more books there we go we have enough leather for five books like so and we’ll need a lot of wood for this as well because bookshelves do require that you have six planks of any

Kind of wood and three books across the middle so we’ll make one of those and this is going to take quite a while it looks like because only one bookshelf there so far isn’t going to do very much so let’s go and see how many cares that

We can take out we’ll breed them up first with the wheat and then we’ll kill a few more to get a little bit of leather and we’ll see how much we end up with so from that little session we got ourselves a bunch more leather but you

Are going to need 45 books in total in order to make 15 bookshelves because 15 times 3 is 45 so we’re going to need a few more cows to be bred up before we can complete our collection of bookshelves over here but I’m going to do that off-camera I think we have spent

Enough time doing stuff in today’s episode let’s at least get some of these bookshelves on the go first can make 7 more right now which is not too bad I think we should be able to at least see the effect it has on the enchanting table and once again remember you need

To place these a block away from the enchanting table placing one on this block here or any of the blocks immediately adjacent or diagonal from the enchanting table will not work but you can place them in this corner over here so it is possible to put them up

That way but we’ll pop those around there like so and let’s take a look at the effect this has had on the enchantment table already you can see better enchantments are popping up and enchantments of up to level 20 are available maybe even more depending on what items we enchant but right now

Level 20 seems to be the norm okay so hopefully we should do be able to do a little bit more work off-camera and we can get ourselves a bunch more books but that is going to do it as the rain falls outside and dark Falls that’s gonna be it for this
