Minecraft notes

This is my very incomplete set of notes and scribbles for the next time I play Minecraft

Misc

  • REMEBER: You can combine lower power books/tools into higher level on an anvil

Moving

If you move, take these things:

  • Dripstone square blocks and pointy blocks
  • Iron
  • Wool to make beds
  • Wood to make beds
  • Shears, just in case
  • All your tools
  • Boat
  • Torches
  • Charcoal to make more torches
  • Crafting Table
  • Carrots
  • Steak

Enchanting Table

  • Enchanting table needs 15 book shelves around it
  • Mine obsidian to get the recipe for the enchanting table
  • If you break a bookshelf without silk touch, you have to rebuild it.

Armor

  • Fire Protection IV
  • Unbreaking III
  • Mending
  • Probably something else

Helmet

  • Respiration
  • Aqua Affinity

Librarians

  • Don't worry about getting librarians who accept papaer. Use cartographers and glass instead
  • Buying lanterns and glass is a cost effective way to level librarians up

Portals

  • Cave: -2433 / 12 / -143
  • Neather: -313 / 63 / -7

Enchantments

Notes

  • You can get two unbreaking II and level them to III with an anvil and experinece
  • Fire Protecion IV probably makes the most sense since it'll let you have more of chance if you hit lava.
  • Full List

    Got Power III then got two sets of two books and combined them into two Power IV books for 4 experience levels each. Combied those into one Power 5 book for 7 levels. So, you can take Power III to Power V for 15 levels.

    Some librarians sell bookshelfs for emeralds which can be a quick but expensive way to get books

    Feather Falling 1 to 2 takes 2 books and 2 levels.

    Feather Falling 2 to 3 takes 2 books and 5 levels

    Feather Falling 3 to 4 takes 2 books and 10 levels

    Feather Falling 1 to 3 takes 4 books and 9 levels (check this math)

    Feather Falling 1 to 4 takes 8 books and 28 levels (check this math)

    If you count the source block as zero, the liquids go out and stop on the seventh block
