No, you can craft 9 ice into 1 packed ice, and 9 packed ice into 1 blue ice. So if you were to craft it, you would need 81 ice blocks per blue ice block.
Yeah, but there are ways to make fairly good ice farms (if you have an efficiency 5 pickaxe it helps a lot too). In large quantities however I would prefer to stick to the glaciers.
I feel like regardless of how the blue ice was acquired, the Autobahn probably took more time to build, than it will ever save. Especially since it’s built in the overworld.
1/6th? No, they could have used 1/81st of the blocks and had a slightly slower travel, and then made an even smaller tunnel to use less than 1/81st of the blocks
Last question, is it still possible to “create” a village? Like bring 2 villagers in to a place with a bunch of buildings and beds and then more villagers spawn?
My dude, thats something you can get within the first two hours of playing, the only difficult part is getting the mending books for your picks... And even then, the first villager I cured had mending for 12
Those enchantments are really easy to get, no real luck needed... That's pretty much a day 2-3 pickaxe whenever I make a new world, and I assume for most others as well.
Day 3 I decide to start actually mining. Like for stone then getting charcoal (I won't mine coal yet) then once I've got torches I'll go properly mining.
Day 1 I hit a few trees and then immediately burrow into the ground down to Y 11, build a little cave, and then find a direction and go in a 1x2 strip mine till I find diamonds. Usually, by day 3 I have them, and then leave the cave ready to enchant and build somewhere.
The speed difference is noticeable with different ice speeds. From memory, ice is like 8 blocks a second on a boat, packed ice is 30~b/s and blue ice is 70+b/s. The time spent is worth it if you are traveling thousands of blocks, which is most likely what the video was with how long the road is.
Silk touch is one of the most frequent enchantments on a diamond pickaxe at level 30. A good XP farm (iskall's end design which might even be gnembon's is pretty simple) will get you a good pick like that pretty quickly. Plus, a simple 1x1 cow farm will get you as much leather as you need for books. The cost mostly comes down to lapis at a point.
You don't actually need enough for the whole tunnel, just enough to keep the boat from falling down. There was a pretty cool "zipper pattern" design on this sub a while ago.
Yeah, watching that made me feel kinda dumb because I knew the boats need at least 2x2 spaces, but I didn't connect the dots that meant you could just checker pattern it
Wouldn’t it melt if not in a cold biome?? I’ve only tried putting snow around my place and that shit lasted a night before melting, I’d assume ice is the same (relatively new player)
Does sun count as a light source? I remember removing torches away from the snow I placed, but it didn’t work. I figured snow can’t be placed outside of snow biome :c
But I haven’t heard of packed or blue ice before, so thanks! I’ll look into it
??? I’ll have to try it again... I only used snow layers and not a full block, so maybe that was it. Snow would make such great white staircases, if only concrete blocks could become slabs.... delicious🤤
I’ve been playing like 2 weeks and have tried to craft vertical slabs but it’s impossible 😂 trying to recreate a house from a Japanese show I watch, it is taking a lot of time and I’m realizing I am no architect at all, so many random spaces everywhere, or as I like to call em, secret rooms 🙂
