This week’s post is all about the lesser known enchantments  that you can put it on tools. I don’t use these very often but when I do they are super helpful. You need to make sure it is worth it tho because once I enchanted a bunch of cobblestone tools. Then they broke in about one night. I suggest you only enchant tools that are iron and above. But it does depend on what you are going to be using the tools on.

Silk touch

This enchantment is the best because it is the only way to get glass that has been placed or bookshelf’s. It can be put on a pickaxe, shovel, or axe. And can dig out a lot of different things like monster eggs and will dig out a bunch of different things as blocks like redstone ore instead of a couple of redstone pieces.

Unbreaking

I think that this is awesome because it can extend the life of your tools. I usually use this on diamond tools because this will extend the life of them and diamonds are super hard to find. You can get this at different levels because you can extend the life of the tool by different amounts. This enchantment you can use on armor,weapons and tools.

Fortune

This is good because you can get more items. This means that the things that you would only get some of the time like gravel and things from zombies. It can be fortune one or fortune two and both of them are helpful. It can be put on the pickaxes, shovel and axe. 

Mending

This is awesome because you can make your tools mendable. If your item with mending is on you or in your hand and you get xp it will go into the item if it is damaged and mend it. It can be used on all tools, armor, and weapons.

I hope that these enchantments are going to help you with your Minecraft projects. Let me know what you want to learn next.

Today’s post is all about strange minerals that I bet you didn’t know about. There is a lot of different minerals that are set in the ground that are every where. I try to find the most different minerals I could for this post. Some of them aren’t even in the over world.

Nether Quartz

This is mostly used for redstone devices and for decoration. You can find Nether quartz in the Nether (surprise surprise) but you don’t have to do a ton of digging to find it. Normally it is right on the surface but it can be kind of deep. The main way to use Nether quartz is for a daylight sensor(a row of glass on the top, Nether quartz across the middle and any wood slab across the bottom of the crafting interface.)

Emeralds

These are used for trading in villages and are very valuable indeed because you can trade them for a lot of different things. You can also trade different items for emeralds. You can’t craft with them which is a pain but you can get items from them that you can craft. You will get them kind of deep into the soil around diamonds and iron.

Lapis Lazuli

This is a very helpful gem because you can use it to enchant armor and tools and to make dyes. This is isn’t very rare because it comes in big batches when you find it. You can find catches of Lapis Lazuli any where under about 30 blocks from the surface and they keep going down. You can use Lapis Lazuli as a dye on its own or add bone meal to it or green to make it different types. You should save up your Lapis Lazuli because you will always need to enchant stuff when you don’t expect it.

I hope that this post helps you find all of the metals you would want. Please let me know what you would like me to talk about in next week’s post.

Today I am going to teach you how to blow stuff up in Minecraft. One thing that is in common with all manner of blowing stuff up is that you need gunpowder. The best way to get gunpowder is to kill creepers but you can also get them from chests that are spawned in villages or abandoned mineshafts. I like to use a bow and arrow to kill creepers because if you are near creepers for too long they will explode and that can kill you.

There are 2 different kinds of stuff I am going to talk about the first one is Fire works. These are really cool and they are very customizable which is helpful. Because then you can make an unique firework for yourself. First you need to make a firework star by putting any dye on the crafting table with a piece of gunpowder. Next you make a firework by putting your firework star, a piece of paper, and a piece of gunpowder on the crafting table. Just set one of these babies on the ground and then you will see a beautiful firework display in the sky.

The second kind is TNT. This is a fave weapon of Nerdster in traps but I don’t use it that much. TNT is basically the best way to blow up anyone and you can hook it up to a button to set it off so you can get away first. The way to make TNT is gunpowder in the top left and right, middle middle, and the bottom left and right of the crafting table and sand everywhere else. 

I hope that this helps add fun to your Minecraft parties and a cool way to get rid of any gate crashers. Let me know what else you guys would like to learn about.
