Well, if you or I had to kill one for some reason, it would actually be very easy. I'd brandish my obsidian knife at them and they'd be compelled to approach. "That's very cool," they'd say, confident in their superior strength and endurance from all the rocks they carry around at all times. They'd shower me with very interesting facts about obsidian and hover just out of range of the cutting edge, waiting for me to exhaust myself. "But as it is volcanic glass, it is very fragile, you see, and isn't well-suited for use as a weap-" and then I'd hit them with the wooden baseball bat in my other hand, which they would not have noticed because geologists can only see rocks and minerals.
It makes sense, they miss how the world looked millions of years ago so they're trying to find any trace of it. Not to mention that they're probably the only people bored enough to study rocks.
I agree Mojang couldn't simply make those rocks stretch for miles, but I do think it would be cool if they replaced normal stone in certain biomes while also being craftable into stone-rank tools and such.
Sure they could. Rename stone to slate and dripstone to limestone, then make all stone variants able to be crafted into stone tools, as long as they have a way to generate every stone type through some sort of manipulation…
@@cecilrhodes2153 I think you are underestimating how long a mile would be of just a single rock. Also, dripstone is a real thing, no need to change the name
"Oh, this? My 1/10th scale model of several hundreds of square miles of igneous mountains? Oh yeah, I threw that together. No big deal." I am STUNNED by that build, it was SO cool!
I mean, not really a "build" in the traditional sense. He imported a topographic map using an external program. Still cool, but not really any more impressive than doing the same with a .png
I wonder if there are any mods that try to make Minecraft's generation more geologically accurate. That Yosemite Valley you showed was actually kind of pretty!
Terraforged, Unearthed, and Geolysis all improve on geological accuracy!! Terraforged improves the overall terrain but that comes with various types of mountains and geological formations in terms of how terrain is shaped Unearthed adds many new types of stone that all function similarly to the vanilla variants, but they generate in large geological regions and Geolysis adds more realistic ore generation/ore types, with ores being placed in large deposits of composite materials, rather than just pure iron or gold or whatever (I'm a minecraft modding nerd)
Theres also Terra Firma Craft, which is actually a massive overhaul mod aimed at realistically progressing from the stone age, but one of its features is more realisticaly distributing stone types, including the other igneous rocks mentioned in this video!
I’ve always hated the way the igneous stone types were added. There should be cobbled variants of each of the stones, and the terrain should replace stone with one of the igneous rocks based per biome. It would encourage exploration to find the different stone types and looks MUCH better imo
If that were to be implemented, there should also be different types of utility blocks that could be made from the various stone types. Could you imagine being able to craft a granite furnace, a diorite piston, or an andesite dispenser? All of it would be an invaluable addition to the game.
I don't think it's been updated in a long time but might enjoy Terrafirmacraft mod, it does that and much more (more than I want to try to explain here)
Great video but small correction: 08:19 Obsidian is a rhyolitic glass. You can form volcanic glass with every volcanic melt, but it's not classified as obsidian. It's a shame that Minecraft does so little with these volcanic rocks. There could be so many new landforms be created by them. Imagine cinder cones out of tuff blocks with a basalt lava flow going down somewhere.
Wow you are correct, I actually had to look that up. I didn't know there was a chemical distinction between volcanic glass and obsidian. I thought felsic obsidian was the just the most common, not the definition. Thanks and I'll make that clarification in the future.
“Most people don’t know or use these recipes” I don’t know being able to hold effectively twice as many stacks of andesite when I go mining for it is pretty good.
I never expected to find such a great channel like yours! I am really interested in mineralogy and seeing this in depth comparison between what we expect irl and what we get in minecraft is amazing!
You are awesome! personally I'm not a big geology fan but the way you used minecraft to teach us about geology and show us real life examples in minecraft really made it interesting. If only there were more teachers like you. Keep up the great work!
Ever since basalt was announced, I've wished there was some sort of mini-biome or perhaps just a naturally occurring structure for basalt cliffs. We have some basalt cliffs near where I live, and they look so cool. Would love to see that in Minecraft.
I think having biomes of Granite etc could be quite nice, just so long as they changed them so that like with blackstone they can be used in place of cobblestone in recipes. Makes them nicer to get in large amounts and also a lot more interesting in terms of underground generation. Maybe not as large of areas as you would realistically find, but certainly the occasional biome-sized deposit of the rocks alongside making the blobs a bit rarer would be a nice change imo.
I truly find and love the idea of professionals of many subjects dive into Minecraft’s mechanics and items and compare them to what they have studied in real life. It gives both an insight and idea of what these professionals have learned over the course of their studies, which we can appreciate and learn from. On the plus, this is Minecraft, a child would probably be more infested in these type of informative videos than your average school books. Thank you, truly! ❤
My adhd appreciates your introduction being one sentence and jumping straight in lol. Makes it feel so genuine bro wanna teach me about rocks and im here to listen
Hey! I just finished this series and I have to say it has been amazing! I am looking forward to watching the next episode, I have learned a lot with you, thanks !!!!
Thanks Conner! I have fun making them and trying to use Minecraft to explain things. It’s been a while since I made a geology video but I still plan to make more. With moving, a toddler, and working in Australia for a month I haven’t had much time to do much in Minecraft the last year. I just about have my new office made up so I’ll have more of a dedicated space to make things like this too. If there is something specific you are interested in let me know. I have though about adding some real life examples into the end of the video or something. It’s pretty interesting to see real obsidian shatter or how real granite companies to the Minecraft textures.
@@gneissname im curious about the ore generation in mc, because I've found that, at least in Minecraft. The copper or generates a lot with dripstone caves, and large veins in granite. While iron can be found in large veins in tuff? is there any truth to this or is it just a game thing...also great video, an unexpected topic but a fun way to show it!
@@cheesypies Oh, its on the short list for episodes. I'm finishing up a caves episode now and i don't know if ore will be next. Its a big topic so it might end up being a few episodes.
I always revisit these videos with my little brother on occasion, because he’s amazed by rocks and geology in general. He also loves minecraft, and has been watching your channel with me since your basalt episode. I’m glad to see your channel grow, and I hope it continues!
I always hated these blocks when they were added, and I still do, I somehow find a large amount of them filling up my inventory without realizing it sooner. But now I take appreciation of them since they (kind of) represent the real rocks in real life.

Exited about the volcano episodes! Want to build one in survival myself. Just finished binge-washing your geology series. Always had a spark of curiosity towards it and this is a great introduction.
Considering I headcanon the Overworld as a massive experiment, almost like a computer program but with reality instead of code, run by unbelievably advanced aliens then abandoned to generate itself forever, don't know why I clicked on this. But it turns out, actual geology is kind of interesting, more so when it's being taught by a guy with a nice ASMR voice.
absolutely loved this video. Got me thinking, a mod which changes the geology to be more realistic like as shown would actually be really cool (to me at least) and I’d consider playing it.
Agreed, I may have never studied geology but having a geologically accurate Minecraft mod woupd be pretty awesome, probably help someone like me learn some trivia too :p

@@AvoxionYT terrafirmacraft! And there’s another one I don’t remember but it was used in blight fall May not be accurate but definitely add more types of stone
I remember years ago I would clear out large areas of granite, and andesite (in Minecraft of course) and a whole ago I remember that they used to be circles. I assume that was either Im miss remembering or they changed it with the caves and cliffs when they redid the ore distribution. But either way, this still holds true for a lot of other things. Stuff like clay, sand, gravel under water in rivers still looks like it's just a round blob only interrupted by the water.
I adore your presentation style, it's intuitive and entertaining to watch. You even managed to trick me into learning! Great job, keep up the great work!
As a geologist, really great job on this. You should also take a look at Dwarf Fortress, it's quite accurate and detailed with the geology. One interesting thing about tuff is that it isn't really one singular classification. It's a mix of all three. As it lands it's composed of still hot material so you can call it either sedimentary or igneous. You could even argue that it's also metamorphic since it sometimes gets thermally welded together or cooked by the nearby volcanic activity.
I really liked the command blocks! Another way how you could approach this is by having multiple copies of the same hole but for the different combinations of having rocks on and off and then teleporting between these locations. I think then it would be quicker, but it might be more work to set up.
actually, if they allowed us to craft stone tools with these rocks, whole biomes of them wouldnt be that bad. this is sort of plausible actually, seeing as blackstone and deepslate already have these luxuries and it would just be a matter of updating the old stones to match the new standard
this is a very cool video about rocks! I love how you presented the information in minecraft! seeing yosemite valley in minecraft was also pretty neat!! 6:19 I've had a collection of various granite rocks since I was young and I always thought the granite texture was pretty good! it's odd because I've seen alot of people complain about it.
This video was phenomenal. The amount of work in the little details was great, and I loved the vibe of the information presented. Well informed and I learned a lot 😁
I love this, as a geologist I've also thought about making videos or something about geology in Minecraft and how it compares to real life geology, and it's very nice to see that some else is already doing it
I love how much of this video is spent saying "Minecraft isn't a realistic representation of the field of geology", which uh.. kinda goes without saying, dunnit?
5:28 Actually these recipes do have a bit of use now in modded Minecraft since the Create mod uses primarily Andesite, so it helps to convert your other igneous stones to Andesite in the early game.
I had no idea I could use my extra diorite to make andesite! Thank you! I like building with andesite and always have more diorite than I know what to do with, so this is perfect!
It was very perplexing to me that Yosemite National Park is an igneous complex, since granite lifted by tectonics into mountains would more intuitively (to an untrained eye like my own) generate a metamorphic landscape, such as cliffs of gneiss. Turns out about 65 million years ago the subduction which raised the Sierra Nevada mountains came to a halt which allowed for the rightfully metamorphic surface of the range to be eroded away by glaciers, thus leaving mostly the deeper igneous layers exposed. Just goes to show geology isn't always as clear cut (pun intended) as it may seem.
I like the idea that the miencraft world had enough ash dropped to leave behind a layer of tuff deposits, and that the “upper” parts are actually comparatively young & recent.
I recently stumbled upon your channel, and I love it! I am also a geologist and former astrophysicist, and I was drawn to Minecraft because of the geological aspect of it. This is very much the YT Minecraft channel of my dreams. 😅 I have been considering starting a channel, myself, but I feel like I'm just too new at the game. Congrats on the now 2k subscribers! 🎉
i just randomly got this in my recommended, and this was actually very informative! i'm not too big on rocks myself, but this video made me want to learn more about geology and rocks as a whole. great video!
I don't know how this got recommended to me, as a geology undergrad this is so fun to see! I'm a big fan of seeing people dig deeper (ha) into the games they play, and this is a perfect intersection of my interests! The QAP diagram plagues me.

One interesting thing about tuff is that it isn't really one singular classification. It's a mix of all three.

I really love these videos. You have a great narrating voice! Very relaxing to listen to :) you’re making some high tier educational content!
ОФИГЕТЬ
это очень круто чувак!!! боже это так интересно и круто!!
я подпишусь и буду ждать новых видео!

Hills of granite stand around
A sentinel, so bold and true
Over all the graves of those
Who braved the hazard with Selous
this is such a cool video, im a declared geology major and the ideas behind this are so neat
I love this video. It's so interesting. I was always interested in geology, but I never knew where to start. Until now!
I had no idea I could use my extra diorite to make andesite! Thank you! I like building with andesite and always have more diorite than I know what to do with, so this is perfect!
It was very perplexing to me that Yosemite National Park is an igneous complex, since granite lifted by tectonics into mountains would more intuitively (to an untrained eye like my own) generate a metamorphic landscape, such as cliffs of gneiss. Turns out about 65 million years ago the subduction which raised the Sierra Nevada mountains came to a halt which allowed for the rightfully metamorphic surface of the range to be eroded away by glaciers, thus leaving mostly the deeper igneous layers exposed. Just goes to show geology isn't always as clear cut (pun intended) as it may seem.
This has certainly been educational, amazing video. Well explained and very informative :)
imagine digging down for stone and seeing nothing but granite for 20 miles
fascinating video, I especially loved the scale comparisons!
11:20 these are the bioms we need
so glad i found your channel
it deserves a lot more subs
I really love this guy's skin, of all things
I like the idea that the miencraft world had enough ash dropped to leave behind a layer of tuff deposits, and that the “upper” parts are actually comparatively young & recent.
Love getting random educational videos recommended
Great video sir, i subbed!
I recently stumbled upon your channel, and I love it! I am also a geologist and former astrophysicist, and I was drawn to Minecraft because of the geological aspect of it. This is very much the YT Minecraft channel of my dreams. 😅 I have been considering starting a channel, myself, but I feel like I'm just too new at the game. Congrats on the now 2k subscribers! 🎉
Isn’t obsidian technically a igneous rock
i just randomly got this in my recommended, and this was actually very informative! i'm not too big on rocks myself, but this video made me want to learn more about geology and rocks as a whole. great video!
imagine if minecraft had no build limit. the 1:1 scale nature builds would be so breathtaking to look at and traverse
I don't know how this got recommended to me, as a geology undergrad this is so fun to see! I'm a big fan of seeing people dig deeper (ha) into the games they play, and this is a perfect intersection of my interests! The QAP diagram plagues me.
30 seconds in immediately subscribed. Incredible, very calming
i did not expect to enjoy your video about minecraft "rocks" so much. definetly keep up the content!
This needs MORE views cause this is hella impressive
