Hey everybody welcome back to the minecraft guide it’s me the british youtuber it’s episode 152 today after being away for like two episodes it feels pretty good to be back over at the tent empire i hope everybody enjoyed the specials there’s simply no getting around it though roll the clip it’s episode 152 Yeah episode number 152 and check this out hey yikes considering the fact that we restarted things entirely about 30 or so episodes ago it makes things a little bit better but 20 diamonds no diamond tools really for the most part no armor at all yeah that’s not really excusable today we Need to fix it today we’re going to fix the diamond problem in this episode of the guide i’m going to showcase a very very experimental and cheaty way to find diamonds if you enjoyed this episode of the guide please consider leaving a like today the light goal is going to be 6 000 likes considering this is a series it will be a little bit of build up if you’re here for the method only there’ll be a timestamp on screen now or something like that now to be honest all the resources that we have over here aren’t exactly in the best spot we’re Going to be fixing that soon but today it starts with lapis yep that’s right to find diamonds lapis first a little while ago we found this gem you might be somewhat familiar with it or not conveniently maybe this geode is inside of a ravine ravines are great for exposing a lot of things It does not look fun there are so many mobs but we don’t really have a choice my first shot today for finding lapis quickly is this ravine i’m thinking that we could go down to this ravine look around hopefully find a little bit of lapis and try this out oh yeah that’s Right try this out i’ve never actually tried this in survival i’ve been holding off on it because i feel like it’s kind of like really really cheating so yeah we’re gonna try it out hopefully i’ll get it right the first time all right so we’re gonna have to be really really careful here I kind of keep forgetting that yeah yeah basically i have like no armor at all and um yeah ravines not exactly the best spot to be with no armor for sure see this time i didn’t do any dramatic build up or anything it gets too predictable but This is actually a really big day today as soon as we can find diamonds with all of these levels that i will hopefully not be losing at all in today’s episode we can finally build a full set of gear including armor and tools this time all diamond tools all diamond armor i really Like the sounds of that and so i think that’s going to be our next big goal not any farms or anything like that i mean farms too soon but first before that everything diamond all right so a little bit of bad news so far no lapis and i Didn’t realize how high up this ravine was lapis generates in between y 0 and y 30 so yeah that ravine it was basically a no goal the whole time wouldn’t have ever worked this place is going to be great for all the other ores though like copper and coal fortunate stuff i’ll Have more than i’ll ever need in no time conveniently it looks like this ravine connects to a cave system though maybe it’ll go somewhere oh yep yep yup yup it goes somewhere another ravine that is definitely deeper a mine shaft that’s very very cool lapis oh for sure there’s no way there’s No lapis here for sure we’re so far down now 25 so clearly because lapis generates so low down in the world it could end up generating below the lava pit we can actually use the f3 screen trick to look through this lava and see if there’s any lapis in here if there is It’s gonna be a little bit annoying of a good thing there’s no lapis in there we can just get rid of that i found gold that’s not cool this is practically ravine city over here we started in the first one we went to the second one now We’re in the third one it’s kind of crazy also there are like no mobs i i like it the more ravines that we find though the more likely it is that we find lapis at some point i mean there has to be lapis here and maybe if we’re Really lucky we’ll just find diamonds too iron redstone i just ran the numbers and today we’re looking for something like 32 diamonds at least 32 diamonds is going to cover a full set of diamond armor and all of the diamond tools that i don’t have which are every single Diamond tool other than diamond pickaxes when it comes to diamond pickaxes we’re actually doing pretty good the pickaxes need a little bit of repairing but they’re in a really good spot depending on how lucky we can get with the sizing of the chunks of diamonds that we end up Finding we might only need like four chunks of diamonds if they’re big ones and fortune three works out well for us i think it’s a fourth ravine that’s definitely a fourth ravine cutting through here what did i say whoa whoa whoa whoa this cave system actually connects to an old cave system That i was in i wonder if there’s any lapis over here did i leave any oh i did i did lapis right here finally i did all right so before we execute this i have to send a shout out to all of these people on screen that you’re seeing right now i Didn’t find this method i didn’t invent this method i’m sure a bunch of you have actually already heard about this method by now a bunch of the hermits use it yeah it’s pretty popular now in the community first things first find lapis lapis generates anywhere down below y330 Hopefully you’re going to find lapis in the diamond range which is right here 17 that’s pretty good then we’re going to go into the f3 screen and look around we’re looking for the negative z direction so z is that third coordinate right there if you move around in one Direction you’ll see which way is the negative z which looks like it’s going to be this way hopefully this works next up press f3 and g to show chunk borders we have a chunk border right here oh this is going to make things interesting this is actually kind of perfect now Because we’re in minecraft 1.17.1 and this area was generated in 1.17 not 1.16 we need to count four blocks we’re gonna start right here and go one two but then we hit a chunk border when we hit a chunk border we actually need to turn around and go in a straight line Dig all the way to the other border of the chunk this is very very important by the way this isn’t going to work on bedrock edition i’m so sorry about that at least i’m pretty sure it won’t so here’s the other border of the chunk This goes past it we want to stay inside of the choke going back over to where we started the lapis is right here we go one two then we turn around and go all the way to the other edge of this chunk so right here three four Then we should be able to dig straight down and find lapis now i’m not taking any chances i have 41 levels i’m doing pretty well i don’t really fully believe in that whole don’t dig straight down stuff i think it’s usually fine did i do it right oh no oh No oh no there’s no diamonds here if i dig around i should be able to find some though right maybe all right so assuming i did everything right which i’m pretty sure i did this method can fail sometimes which is what looks like what just happened if It seems to have failed dig around where you just were lapis chunks sizing can vary a little bit but yeah it doesn’t look like there are any diamonds in here at all so unfortunately attempt number one it is a fail unless of course i’ve already found diamonds somewhere over Here before i don’t think i have though if we were to try the other direction so the lapis was like right in here and i go one two three four and then started digging straight down right here it’s not going to work because we crossed the chunk border basically because of how The strange shitty method works it doesn’t work when you go across chunks now one final thing before we fully abandon this spot right here there is one other thing that we could try i know it won’t work but we could do the whole counting thing so it would end up right Back over here again and then dig up instead now i’m at y17 so diamonds won’t generate that high i know it’s not gonna work but it’s another thing that you could try if your lapis is like all the way at like essentially y zero which can Happen here we are back over where i was mining deep slate and look at this lapis right here step one f3 screen find the negative z direction that’s this way step two chunk borders show them from the lapis right here we’re going to count four blocks so we’ll go from this One right here one two three and then four now this time we’re right on the edge of granite which could potentially mess things up if we have a chunk of any of these blocks that you’re looking at on screen right now generating where the diamond is trying To generate then it’s going to fail diamond cannot generate as like granite diamonds so yeah but we’ve gone for blacks and we’re really far down and look at that it worked it worked this is amazing it worked finally easy as that diamonds right in here now because this method is So overpowered and honestly it’s pretty reliable too i don’t really recommend doing it until you have efficiency five i mean maximize your diamonds so right here let’s see what we can get hopefully we could get like like almost 10 maybe almost 10 12 i will accept it yeah yeah yeah yeah That’s great that’s good yeah yeah so so that worked out that worked out like pretty much perfectly that’s great and it was pretty close to the granite too i was honestly very very nervous about it failing for a second time two times in a row you’d be like yeah i don’t know what You’re talking about but hey look at that more lapis so i’ve already done a lot of mining over here this time it might actually fail because i’ve already mined the diamonds but let’s see so we have the lapis right there we’re pretty much on the same level we could do the Chunk border thing i don’t think we’re going to cross it one is right here two three four right here and then uh this time we could go up a little bit nope never mind now we go down don’t forget the water though dig straight down and deep sleep a room Yeah so this is what i’m saying i can’t really remember if i ever ended up actually finding diamonds over here i might have i might not have been uh oh gravel well that’s unfortunate that’s that’s very sad it’s not for sure our fail yet but yeah gravel that’s not a Good sign i mean it’s gravel it’s great for building so i’ll take as much as i can get clear out this area but yeah pretty sure this time it’s gonna be a fail when you’re looking for a diamond though i do always recommend digging through stuff like this especially if You already have like a diamond shovel or something tear this out like instantly you never know maybe you’ll find more diamonds well that’s sad it didn’t work no diamonds or really any wars anywhere moving on see the nice thing about having a branch mind like This is you have a lot of space already covered and cleared out i exposed a lot of things i have spots like this that i could come back in and just dig out whenever i need to and i have other things that i found earlier on intentionally left behind i really never Hoped that i would have to end up using this method but desperate times called for desperate measures so i’ve done another chunk of lapis right here i just tried the method i went one two three four no chunk borders or anything like that negative z direction as well i went All the way down and it didn’t work unfortunately it just didn’t work i tried clearing out an area i’m not sure if i ever found diamonds right over here i’m pretty sure i didn’t though i don’t know didn’t work yeah so this method can definitely fail sometimes as we’re Seeing here i can’t remember where any more lapis was inside of here i feel like there was more down one of these always at the same time though maybe not i might have mined it all now there’s another chunk of lapis over here i’m pretty sure that we already found Diamonds earlier on in the series in this general area there’s no way this is actually going to work so yeah i’m not even going to try with this one unless you have a low cave sort of like the place that we started today’s video in Or ravine down low that exposes a lot of blocks to be honest it’s probably best that you just do this in a branch month go down low in your world make a branch mine and start mining if you find diamonds on your own good on you that’s Amazing you’re luckier than me if you don’t find diamonds on your own then hopefully eventually you find lapis i found more right here and it’s really really close to this one so that could be interesting to see i hope this one works okay so this is actually kind of perfect i was extending The main hall from the lapis right here so we’ll try it again from this spot right here we’ll go four blocks over this is the negative z i don’t think there are any chunk borders in here but we’ll show them just in case so uh okay still under the lapis this is probably Going to be one right here yep that’s one then we’ll go two right here i switched over to an iron pickaxe and by the oh there we go three right there diamonds i was gonna say no cuts this time just prove to you that it actually works and it works Diamonds right there oh oh oh interesting okay so diamonds right there and a ravine this is good this is this could potentially be very very helpful if we find lapis in here so i’m hearing like a crazy ton of lava over here i’m not taking any chances we’re gonna dump That right there come on please get lucky like the last one oh there’s eight here there’s eight here this time oh that’s crazy wait i didn’t lose those no 25 25 already 25 already 30 30 diamonds that’s 30 diamonds right there plus what i have back over at the base That brings the total up to up to 50. 50 diamonds oh we’re loaded now we’re loaded now we might not even have to use the other method there’s a river and swamp method too which is amazing insanely cheaty wow we don’t even we don’t even maybe not even have to use The wow that’s crazy okay enough with the zombies enough come on all right so i want to run through this ravine really really quick which actually now that i think about it when i was mining down low like looking for diamonds after that weird diamond glitch mining at like y6 Or y5 i can’t remember which one i kept hitting lava i like over in this direction it was probably the lava pit from this ravine hey nice drama guy nice to try my guy yeah i was probably running into this gigantic lava pit in here which was stopping me and i had to Make all the hallways go the other direction and i mean i never ended up really finding diamonds in either direction very much other than like a couple but yeah interesting okay so to be honest this is a really good find but i probably shouldn’t take any chances Like i don’t plan on anything happening but if something did happen let’s say i don’t really want to like lose all of the levels and all the diamonds hey is that more that’s more lapis let’s try it again all right so this one could be interesting let’s see any chunk borders Okay yes yes we have another chunk border right in here so we’re gonna start by digging one right there and then this is gonna be two and then we have the chunk border so we’re gonna turn around and go the other direction uh but really quick this is negative z Yeah that’s negative z so one two we need to go two more turning straight around from where this lapis is right there we need to dig all the way to the other end of this chunk no here it is the other end of the chunk now continue The count so right there is three then this is four we should be able to dig straight down and hopefully it works so we’ll try it again no cuts this time just digging straight down is it going to work i don’t know not looking very promising we’re getting really really Far down now yeah that’s bedrock maybe it didn’t work but i won’t sell it off completely yet i’ll dig around a couple blocks and see if i can find diamonds anywhere i’m finding redstone in here which is redstone that’s that’s cool but i’m not really seeing any diamonds so i Think it failed this time again and i think this time i actually have figured out the potential reason the endocyte it’s the antisense fault or the diorite either way though these blocks the diamonds most likely tried to generate in here somewhere and these blocks made it fail so based off of what i’ve Already found in today’s episode so far we could actually technically stop here we’re good we’re basically at the amount of diamonds the goal that i set out for in the beginning of the episode which is great but i want more so so far in the rest of the ravine i’m not really seeing Anything you have to remember to look up on the walls though remember lapis can generate up to y30 which means it could end up being way higher up like up there by the gold or even higher up here’s a chunk of gravel i could always use Gravel i’m going to take this chunk of gravel out and then we’re going to leave nothing absolutely nothing back up on the surface so far we’re doing good like really really good we could stop here but we’re not going to there is another method for this one a big credits to Matthew boland and shout out to farsi for the short tutorial i think it was matthew boland that originally discovered this method which is amazing and then farsi made a short to the point tutorial on it that was great so we have to find a river we have this river right here which Is this actually a river uh never mind this method is a little bit different but at the same time it’s pretty similar this method may not work on every single seed i think just like the last one so is this a river no we’re looking for a river biome Somewhere something like maybe this is this no also hopefully this river that we find isn’t above a branch mine i don’t think it would be i think the branch mod is more over that direction but yeah hopefully it’s not above it that could mess things up whoa It’s not a river it’s just a cool view ah yes finally a river hopefully this works it’s like basically behind her base over this way a river there are two more cheaty ways to find diamonds one of the methods involves a swamp the other one involves a river we’re gonna do the River one so first things first we’re looking for a circle of clay inside of this river this could be the tricky part because rivers are kind of small yeah kind of small they might not always have the perfect circles of clay something like this right here is what we’re Looking for now it’s not a perfect circle but but it would be it’s like most of the way there i think this should work maybe we’ll find out so find the perfect circle of clay hopefully it’s a little bit more perfect than this and then mark the center block so that’s gonna be Right there now this time instead of the negative z we’re looking for positive z that’s gonna be that right there we’re gonna go one block two blocks on the second block we dig straight down all the way down to diamonds so i think the best way to do this is probably uh two Block wide hole so we can have the water just in case and and dig down like this maybe maybe that’s the best way i i don’t know we’re gonna run out of air basically maybe if i just make air pockets every once in a while like that And then step in and breathe yeah and survival that’s probably the best way just dig straight down and then find air pockets every once in a while i’m not taking any chances i need these levels if you don’t care about the levels just go straight down so this method just Like the other one is not guaranteed this might not work very well on some seeds hopefully it works well in our seed i haven’t tested it quite yet so this might end up failing you’ll know that it fails if you make it all the way down to bedrock and there’s no diamonds At all so far i’ve passed siren but we’re not actually in diamond range quite yet 19 we still have a couple more blocks to go so this still has a chance to work i’m making air pockets every once in a while i step into them and Breathe just so i don’t end up drowning digging down this is the final stretch right here hopefully it works i don’t know if it’s going to work a tragedy a true tragedy i don’t think it worked we’re all the way at the bottom no diamonds however just like on the Last method i highly recommend digging a couple blocks around just because you’re already down here you never know if there’s diamonds like one block off if they were like one block off and you just left them that would be a little bit of a bummer i was lied to it does Not work there are no diamonds anywhere down here just kidding my seat is probably just bad it’s probably just not working yeah so unfortunately that one’s gonna have to be a no-go we’ll try it again though if i can find more clay i’m not too sure If it also has to do with the fact that that patch of clay wasn’t actually a perfect circle it wasn’t like a perfect fully formed patch of clay that could be it too here’s another circle of play that i found it’s not fully formed but i Could tell that this is a circle so let’s do it again this is the middle right here i think positive z is this way yep so one block two blocks so it’s gonna be right there maybe it’ll work this time interesting it sounds like there’s a cave over here A cave i hit a cave this time hey ivan copper cool going back to digging straight down we’re basically here though we’re in diamond range now we’ll see if it actually worked uh oh this isn’t good there’s andesite that’s not good and bedrock yeah so from The looks of things it looks like it’s probably not going to work on the scene i will take the cold though maybe to leave me to diamonds or not i don’t think i’ve ever been out here before i i mean maybe i caught through here when i was exploring but i Don’t recognize this this looks completely different from looking through pretty much the rest of that river it wraps around this way goes out to the ocean but the ocean isn’t good the river i couldn’t really find any more clay chunks so time to go back home So now it’s back over to the base and back down to the mines for me i want more diamonds the plan here is pretty simple i’m going to continue to expand this branch mine hopefully i run into diamonds while i’m doing it if i don’t hopefully at the least i run into more Lapis i’ve gotten pretty lucky in here already like that one right there that was amazing even more lucky i hit a ravine and i find lapis in there too it doesn’t really matter so long as i find more lapis or more diamonds the goal is hopefully oh and hopefully this doesn’t take too Much longer like another half stack of diamonds so far from what i’ve experienced today this is the method that has worked out the best for me so this is the one that i’m going to stick to but earlier on i mentioned another method there is one More method that is very similar to the two methods that we checked out so far it involves the swap and clay pools just like in the river but way more commonly in the swamp bomb you can find circles of clay you can use those circles of clay on the ground to actually locate Diamonds the swap method is basically the same as the river method with a little bit of adjustments and go to the swamp bomb find a circle of clay find the center of the circle of clay after you’ve found the center of the circle face south go three blocks dig straight Down hopefully digging straight down leaves you right to diamonds it won’t work on every single seed hopefully it works on yours if you’re having issues with that method in your seed try digging straight down from the center of that clay circle hopefully that works and if it doesn’t work well big rip to Be honest maybe you shouldn’t be cheating for diamonds anyways so at this point unfortunately my diamond pickaxe with efficiency is looking really really rough we’re gonna need to get bending soon with that being said i’ve decided to make the big switch over to iron pickaxes i’ll be digging Pretty much everything out with iron pickaxes until i find ore when i find ore i will use efficiency hopefully i find like two more patches of diamonds i think that’s really all that i’m going to need two patches maybe three hopefully this doesn’t take too long Yeah no i don’t think this is going to take very long at all f3 and g okay we’re right on the border again so lapis right here we go one block this way then we have to dig to the other side perfectly in line with the lapis let’s go Other side of the chunk is right here we want one already this is two that’s three that’s four right there we dig down hopefully this one works and it worked it worked i went like no blacks at all and it worked right there even more diamonds jeb please yes jeb jeff jeb jeb My guy jeff you did it you did it for us you did it for us so many diamonds right here this is good this is solid this is exactly what we needed this might be all that we needed no it’s not all that we needed 15 diamonds 15 more that’s a That’s a solid start not long at all at this rate to be honest one more of these patches of diamonds and we’re done we’re out of here we’re good for a long time i never thought i would say this but lapis lapis i think you’re my favorite ore in The entire game you’re so useful No way no way that was so easy that was so easy four blocks out second group of lapis that i found found diamonds on my own diamonds it may not be very much this time but diamonds wow this never gets old this is so exciting one two is that it That might be it isn’t it though is there more maybe just maybe diagonal no no fine fine that’s fine oh no no no no no no no i take it back i take it back there is more there is more there is more i almost missed these i almost left Completely without these right there and right there that brings us up to 34 diamonds yeah looking good so as you can see here this hallway got a little bit longer we have lapis right there i found coal right there i actually found copper that led me to the lapis right down in Here somewhere i found diamonds on the middle found this lake and yeah this hallway is longer but it’s really not that long at all like this is easy like really really easy too easy and so if you’re ever looking for more diamonds maybe you’re trying to double the amount of diamonds you have Quickly maybe you want a clean stack of diamonds look for the lapis face the south direction four blocks dig up and down and there you go so in terms of resources that we found today this is pretty much it plus this cold because i kept using the goal for torches you know So yeah these are the resources we have so many now it literally took all of these and basically doubled everything like yeah that’s that’s really really good by the way i have to move those back over still but yeah doing pretty good now if only i could finally make a New book today’s comment of the day is a beautiful meme and when i say beautiful it’s not an understatement truly it’s beautiful thank you so much and thank you everybody for watching today’s episode of the guide we’ve done it we finally moved ourselves out of poverty Now that we have more diamonds we can finally focus on making diamond armor diamond tools and proving that to netherright and maybe even respawning the dragon i guess we’ll have to wait and see though if you liked today’s episode leave a like and subscribe big shout out to my patrons tanner b fateful Grimoire and sortieri thank you all so much for the support as always links are in the description i’ll see you all in the next one goodbye You Video Information
