Striders do have a mobcap of 10 but it can be exceeded since newly generated chunks can contain striders based on the seed (the same as passive mobs in the overworld)
Instead of doing the angles to find close bastion I just adjust render distance until one falls out. Much quicker and doesn't add to igt as u are in ootions

@@SilphBoss Technically yes, but the mental math shown in this video is doable for everybody. In fact, many math tricks related to Minecraft speedrunning have a slightly less accurate but still pretty accurate approximation that's easy to do mentally, like the stronghold distance calculation that zylenox attempted to use in his WR.
@@SilphBoss yes, but I think a fair few of the rules & features of MC speedrunning are designed to reduce differences in hardware/software between players (such as tracking real time but primarily using in-game-time to account for slower loading screens on older computers) because otherwise having enough disposable income to afford a top-level computer/GPU/CPU would become a significant barrier to speedrunners, which would suck as there's not a consistent way that a speedrunner can just become more wealthy. Whereas having skills like the ability to do mental math quickly, or developing a fast reaction time, (useful e.g if you need to parkour away from danger), or have insight into the mechanics of the game - those are all barriers to speedrunners, but regardless of where you are in the world, they are skills that you can develop so that you can get over those barriers & get a personal best. I agree with Pranav Jagada who also replied to you - the mental math in this video would take a bit of getting used to, but once you know it, it shouldn't be hard to implement when speedrunning. A (I think) similar example is having the knowledge of strongholds spawning within certain rings, and so being able to divide those numbers by 8 quickly to decide whether you should blind travel in the nether, or go back to your original portal & either do overworld travel or educated nether travel - the first few times you try it it'll be confusing, but once you've done it a bunch of times it becomes intuitive. I'mma stop tying now as I realise I've said much already :') but your comment and the question it raises - what should be included as a barrier to overcome when speedrunning? - is a very interesting one :)
@@CorneliusThroatworthy I don't have too much to say, but I do pretty much agree and appreciate what you've written. Cheers. It is an interesting thing to think about.
One caveat I noticed to this method is that if you find an ocean monument, the 2RD strat doesn't actually work as effectively. Every single monument I've been in after getting the new sodium, has now given me mining fatigue.
@interp It still shouldnt render mobs in unloaded chunks though right? If you have 2 rd but 500% entity distance I would think they wouldnt render, since how would the game know like where to put them and stuff
I don't Speedrun but this is useful for finding them in normal Survival without Chunkbase (or /locate in Creative) Sorry for nerding out about Math (also 73/2 is 36.5)
How many others have paused and re-watched this multiple times and googled size, distance, and relationship to angles? just me? ok Awesome video K4yfour! I understand much better now:)
Bruh I've been eraying all this time without entity culling turned off, and I was wondering why I didnt get bastions until they were like 50 blocks away. I guess now I know why. I feel like the biggest idiot
@@nickesposito2022 just an option in Sodium’s video setting menu. If you don’t have sodium installed and just use vanilla or something, it’s automatically turned off I believe
@@k4yfour is the sound delay only after you download the vod? - If so this is due to variable playback speed on twitch to keep live delay low. Solution is to export the vod from twitch to YT, then download it from youtube, the audio will be synced on the downloaded vod but it takes quite a bit longer sometimes.
also in 8:07, honestly i think its kinda too much work to do the math, best to just eyeball the location with the edges of your FOV and blocks to see how close it is, so that you could just shortcut to getting to the bastion right away. Kind of an O(n) space-time complexity or whatever it's called. Not saying that this math wont be useful though since I do see some scenarios where it could save my runs. thanks. (still have to try this out though) edit: um by some scenarios i mean a lot
When I set up sodium mode, although I am 150 blocks away, when I do fov 30 and look there, 15 entities appear. Does anyone know the solution? I set the setting to 500%

Im pretty sure the point of not using a calculator is to also base your skill on how mentally quick you are mathematically. No different than anything else in speed running really. As you practice, you become quicker. It'll become obvious who's putting in the work based on how quick people are with this on stream. Don't neglect mental math as you wouldn't any other speed running skill you perfect. In my honest opinion, pausing the timer to do math would be no different than asking teachers/professors to stop the clock each time your pencil isn't touching the paper. Doesn't really work. Practice, get fast, and it'll become easier like everything else.

I believe they were for ppl taking notes and stuff. I thought my RUclips crashed lol.
Which time?
A nice thing to remember is that bridge bastions only have 20 piglins while the others have 30
Good to know
oh!
I like you
Stables has a lot more, like 40 or even 50
@mcsr - aconnox It's usually around 60 total entities, including hoglins.

I pressed the mute audio button again lol

8:06 you can just add the angles and divide their sum by 2, it's easier: (66+(-7))/2=-59/2=-29.5≈-30

Just make your nether portal spawn you right at the bastion or reset. GG EZ.

rip classic FeelsGoodMan
Edit: is there any way to detect which type of bastion it is since they have varying amounts of piglins?
The edit, so, bridge bastions have 20 piglins on it, amd the other three have 30, however you can’t distinct between stables, housing and treasure
Stables usually has a count closer to about 60
does the new sodium stay up to date with the current sodium updates?
if one pauses while calculating this stuff, is the time added to your run?
yeah, the tied wr right now had time added on due to exactly this but for triangulating the stronghold.
If the bastion is 500 blocks away, will this tactic still work if it you are on 32 chunks? I rarely get ~65 entities unless it is ~200 away or less.
will new sodium work with "old" phosphor and lithium exactly like in the video or do i have to delete these two mods?
there is a slight chance that I commented on this video
Is the new sodium the same as the one posted in the discord recently

they say we can't have calculators but can we have multiplication tables or sine tables? (this is only half a joke)

If on vanilla should you disable entity culling?
entity culling is always disabled on vanilla. sodium gives you the option to enable entity culling.
i dont have these why
Guys how do you change your render distance like how he did it in the video, like the render distance for mobs
If you are using sodium you go to the entity render distance and crank it to 500%
