Ngl, raiding end cities proved to be one of the easier than you think challenges in the game. I probably said thus in one of Eyecraft's previous videos, but all you need is diamond gear and sword and pickaxe, and that's all. Chorus fruit will be your source of food that'll also teleport you out of danger of the shulkers, and you just need to mine and make a two block tall platform, then look and lure all the endermen to you and gain their enderpearls safely for further help in reaching places. And voila, you're rich.
Shulker Boxes are probably one of the most useful Utility Blocks in the game. It’s a chest that allows you to carry your items on your adventures, it helps resolve the Full Inventory issue. Sure you get it at the endgame phase but it’s still very useful.
The fact that it’s unlocked in the end game is perfect. Inventory management should be part of Survival. Some players have been asking for more space but I don’t understand the reasoning. Infinite inventory would just turn survival into creative without flying!
Exactly. Instead you should be able to make backpacks or pouches where you ig craft a special pressed leather by combining 4 leathers together.. And then use 8 of those to make a backpack. Where it can store like half a chest or 2 thirds. It should be expensive, it should be just 8 leathers. Then it would be too easy. Like you said, too easy makes the game less fun. 4 times 8 is 32. So you need half a stack of leather to make it. That is a bit hard at first so you need kill lots of cows and horses and donkeys and the rest to get 32 for a backpack. Its definitely worth it and it definitely takes time. Also for funsies. Make it 32 8 pressed leather and some expensive mineral in the middle. Like an iron block or a copper block or a diamond block. Although diamonds and emeralds are too extreme. Even gold block is too much. And the backpack shouldn't be too expensive so maybe a copper block would be enough because its easy to get. But you need 9 cooked ingots and 32 leathers. What do you think? @@Astroman10
All I want to say is: THANK YOU!!! For making so many guides and replying our comments. Guiding us through the world of Minecraft (and making little puns as well!). Even if you are leaving (hopefully not) and never see this. We will always be there, waiting for you. F to pay respect for our comrade.
life happens and sometimes we all end up too occupied by other things, but he will be back!! he clearly has a deep love for the game and making these guides so I'm sure it won't be long.
I just started playing this game about 2 weeks ago and this guys videos are insanely helpful. I just now noticed its been 4 months since his last video. Hope he makes a comeback
I am new to mine craft. Been playing for 2 or 3 months now. I'm addicted. I can't even imagine myself killing a dragon. I've only killed 2 endermen and I screamed the entire time. I feel so far away from being able to do this but I'll be watching until I can.
Try going into a creative world and practice !! Even if you don’t get “good” at it, you still get used to it and maybe one day you’ll beat her in no time.
Actually if you get diamond armor and enchant it even to an OK level, such as protection II or III then game will be so much more enjoyable for you. But you surely have figured it out aleready :D
You may not see this but Im legitimately a day one player of Minecraft. I had a mini land party with my friends when it launched. I still play daily. To fast forward, to have my sons playing, Hey dad did you know this? I saw " your video" an to let them do it themselves an have me act like i didn't know. Gives me a feeling only dads know. Please continue everything you do. You have FAR more impact then you know. Sincerely thank you.
Hey Eyecraftmc. You'll probably never see this but I have a suggestion for you and something to say. First the words. I really like how you explain everything in any of your videos. Something about your explanations feels so special. It's like a teacher that teaches you in a fun way while giving some additional fun facts. Infact your explanations are probably one of my favorite of any person in existence. Your definitely my favorite minecraft channel. I honestly hope you keep at it. I've always wanted a channel like this but thought that it would never happen. But it did. Thanks for making the content, Eyecraftmc. The suggestion is a bit prefered. I honestly don't know if you prefer this. I would personally love for you to cover mods as well. Now the main problem with this is probably quality. Not all mods are that great. However I think there's a lot of mods you could cover. If you ever actually do this, this will be my go to channel for minecraft all the time. Anyways if you actually did see this, thanks for reading!
You’re so goated for explaining how to organize the shulker boxes with different useful things. I had been curious on what to do after having a rocket, totem, food and ores shulker. But this will help expand my inventory. Thank you!
I always forget the shield when I go shulker hunting I’ve gotten decent at swatting the shulker bullets with my sword but it can get overwhelming quick in those big rooms on hard difficulty. I also keep less boxes in my end chest with my main tools in the extra slots for quicker access instead of going through chestception every time I need a hoe or a fortune axe instead of my silk touch
You should make another let’s play series. Just record your gameplay and talk about the game! You know so much it would be cool to see another playthrough of yours. Im going through your old ones right now! Even if this doesn't reach you wishing you well!
I still watch your videos although I know 100% of the information you provide, I just like them. Hope you'd come back and make videos about the new stuff that has come out.
Your vocal EQ is 100% better than a year ago (when the low end was a bit muddled). Sounds great! If you want to A/B it, listen to this video & 'Minecraft 1.20 Map & Cartography Table Guide' from a year ago.
14:35 also on these redstone boxes, consider adding bundles inside of them. People already utilize bundles for redstone projects as you can imagine, dozens of individual different redstone blocks but a stack of items altogether in a bundle is awesome. Bundles compliment shulkers, not hinder them.
Can we get a lets play for 1.21? I remember i used to watch your stream for your last lets play. That was like 2 years ago. I also learned a lot while watching. Its like another guide 😌
Got back on craft after years. Your vids were very helpful for a returning player. I got all the way to full netherite armor with coastal trims enchanted after a hard 12 hr grind. Logged off and a glitch of some sort took my entire set. Literally out of everything I had. Fuck this game. And I won’t be returning but thanks for the help along the way. As I sat in my rage I realized I was being a little bitch and after all it is Minecraft. Got back on the horse. Got a new full set of netherite. And almost a 2nd. Beat the ender dragon for the first time. Found elytra. And made back my loses. I suppose I didn’t deserve it easy Also ngl. The end is easy af to raid with ender pearls. Building blocks and invisibility potions. And a pumpkin head
Thank you for teaching me how to duplicate shulkers. Had no idea you can do this until now. I was told by another person to save two shulkers in an end city when I go raiding for shells, and that is marked on my world. I was unsure how they would be farmed, but it seems more ovbious now. Another case of looting 3 being very powerful in bedrock edition. Shulkers, pearls, blaze rods, ghast tears. you name it, it will get you more of it in bedrock edition. Wish Java shared this.
Shulkers are the only dispensible block so they can be filled by hoppers, destroyed by pistons, consumed by hoppers, and replaced with shulkers with redstone input. This is intentional design by mojang. To make automation more effecient.
@eyecraftmc. Can you do the ultimate guide for playing through minecraft? Such as completing all bosses easiest to hardest in the over world (ancient city, pillager outpost/village raid, woodland mansion, trial chamber, water guardian temple thing), nether (nether fortress, piglin stronghold), and finally the ender dragon/stronghold/end city
I was wondering if you had considered a dripstone guide. What it does, where to find it, and the best way to farm it. How tall can the stalactites and stalagmites grow?
Video Idea - "5 automatic farms using 100% overworld materials" NO OBSERVERS for bedrock/console edition. Using as little red stone as possible, im old and terrible at minecraft mechanics. xD Preferably not cow crusher, chicken cooker, or cobblestone generator.... those builds are a dime a dozen on youtube.
We miss you videos , i sincerely hope you are doing okay and its just a down period for you, from what ive seen uploads used to be pretty regular now we havent seen you in half a year. I hope ypur health is good and your life is prosperous if you need a break take the time you need just let us know you're okay. Youve got alot of fans worried
13:36 On this topic, how cool would a netherite shulker box be. I don't care if it's crazy expensive, I would spend 5 ingots if it takes so, but to have a shulker that doesn't burn would be incredible. I keep stuff in my ender chest all the time because if you die it's still there. But a netherite shulker box would be a huge deal to me.
@@kaozspartan9289 last time I looted the end I hit up 30 cities using chunkbase. Only killed the three shulkers on the ships everytime, wound up with 1.5 stacks of shells at the end. I just keep them in my end chest for when I need another box while mining or farming.
shulker boxes aren't the only block that can be placed by a dispenser. If you put a carved pumpkin and there are two snow blocks near by it will place the carved pumpkin. You can also do a similar trick to make iron golems and wither bosses. There is a way to set it up to not instantly form the golems and just place the blocks.
In the topic of supplies I like to use ender pearls too. From having an endermen farm (relatively easy to build) I get fuckton of those and I can use the pearls both to put myself under a safe roof or teleport into the ground below me right as the levitation effect is ending, as well as reposition around the end city more easily
Hey eyecraft, it’s important to note that when the shulkers duplicate, the original one teleports away and the new one is left in its place. This is how shulker duplication farms work.
3:47 hold up. I am playing on Bedrock, but I'm not seeing this 100% drop rate and that's including Looting III. I get the shells sometimes. Also, aside from having shulker boxes containing back up items/emergency supplies in my ender chest, I keep a stack of shulker shells in there as well. If I ever need more inventory space and I'm far from my base, I just have to get wood to craft a chest then craft another shulker box.
Shulkers are legit. Best uses of them have to be the ender chest full of them, and also for compact storage containers consider filling a double chest full of shulker boxes. They still feed the same way through Hoppers, but you can imagine how much storage space this really gives you. Edit I use this for items that have trouble stacking. See potions or ender pearls. Things that stack in 1 or 16 are great to combine with this storage system.

I can confirm this. It definitely isn't 200%😂 I killed plenty of shulkers that didn't drop anything.

I never realized how useful shulker boxes were until now. I use them, but now I have lots of other reasons to use them.
