Hello everyone this is Mumbo and welcome back to another Minecraft video and as you can see in front of me I've got two identical
cubes of stone,
diorite and the sides of all the other bits and pieces that you tend to find underneath the surface of a
Minecraft world now the reason that these things are here is because today
we're going to be taking a look at some fast mining techniques and I'm going to be trying to work out
which ones are the quickest I'm sure this information is going to be very valuable to a large number of you so let's crack on
now the way this video is going to work is really quite simple I'm going to make my way through this twenty by twenty area
of naturally generated terrain using four different techniques I'm going to be using an efficiency five pickaxe,
vertical TNT (of death)
horizontal TNT and then efficiency five and a haste two beacon I'm going to Time-Lapse me breaking all of the blocks, I'm going to talk
over the Time-Lapse footage then at the end of the video
we are going to be comparing results so let's get things started with the efficiency five pickaxe now in my head I would have thought the
efficiency five pickaxe would be nice and quick I mean I remember the days when Minecraft existed without
enchantments and they weren't they were really quite slow and then efficiency four came along that was all pretty good then
we got efficiency five and that seemed to be even faster
but of course this is essentially our control test, this is the one where we work out how fast your bog standard
enchanted pickaxe and enchanted shovel combo can possibly be, and I hate to say it, it's a little bit boring and
also rather slow, a twenty by twenty area is a large large space to take out with just a pickaxe
no other bits and bobs going on and yeah, it certainly
wasn't the quickest thing in the world moving on from that one let's spice things up a little bit by bringing some
TNT into the party now you guys know that I absolutely
adore TNT its probably one of my favorite blocks in the game I just I really
enjoy blowing things up I mean maybe I'm really childish in that aspect of the game
but I personally really quite enjoy it and today
we're going to be trying our best to use TNT and a useful and
efficient manner so the way that I've been doing it is I mine down I then pillar up placing three leaves in between each
TNT block
now the TNT has got a three by three by three airspace around it I mean that when it explodes it actually blows out a
five by five by five area I mean that in theory
we only have to build twenty of these pillars to clear out the entire space
now that seems very efficient and it seems really quite quick but of course you
do have to do quite a bit of mining you have to do quite a bit of TNT placing quite a bit of leaf placing and
occasionally the TNT doesn't explode so you have to re-ignite it and also occasionally it leaves some blocks behind so you have to clear those out
afterwards those are just some things to think about so
after the results of that test I thought I'd try
Another Test using tnt Because as I mentioned Earlier on I just love Exploding things and I thought I'd try a slightly more Horizontal technique
So this Time I will place the tnt Into Two deep holes and Those holes Would be spaced two blocks Apart from one Another
Now that means you don't have to clear out all of the Space Around the tnt you don't have to create the blast Chambers or?
Anything Like That but of Course it does mean that the TNT isn't quite as effective and you have to Use a
Heck ton of More TNT, I mean Seriously
There is A TNT block placed every two blocks apart from one another you are going to fly through your TNT supplies
That's and it's also Incredibly Deadly. I ended up almost Killing Myself A large Number of Times during this test so
That's Another Thing to just Keep in Your Head before you start Doing.
And finally on to the Famous Combination of Efficiency 5 Pickaxe and Haste To beacon
Also Known as the Insta Mindset Up yes it is Hilariously fun all you have to do Is wave your pickaxe Left right and Center
Wiping out Stone Like Nobody's Business I mean Seriously it's like Somebody's Attached the tunnel Ball to your arm you just blast Through Rock
Making Tons and Tons of Progress Really very Quickly the only slight Downside of this is of Course you
Do Require a beacon with A full sized beacon Platform
Which Involves A ton of Either iron Blocks Emerald Blocks Diamond Blocks Or gold blocks which means This Thing is Really Quite Expensive
But the Price is Definitely Worth it in my Opinion because this Is
Ridiculously fast.
And now for the moment of Truth we're About to find out which one was the fastest which one was the slowest and which two were?
In the Middle so first things first
We have got the Efficiency 5 Pickaxe and as I mentioned the Beginning this Is very slow it took
53 Minutes and 46 Seconds for me to clear out One of These yes Just one of the hoes
Took the best Part of One Hour to clear out
Extremely sluggish Never Wants to hear again I'll go to be sticking with the other Three
Techniques The First One Being The vertical
tnt Taking 25 Minutes and
58 Seconds to Clear out the entire
Area Now that Is less Than half the Time it took for the efficiency 5 Pick Accident Which I thought
Was incredibly Impressive and also really Quite Surprising I always Actually Expecting that to be A lot slower and
Most importantly the Horizontal tnt Only Took Four seconds more Time Which Could Probably put down to err
Or other such Things so those Two techniques The vertical and the Horizontal
Are Almost Identical in Their timings but of Course the fastest one of the Bunch was the haste to beacon at 13 Minute and
40 Seconds to Clear out That entire Area 30 Minutes of 40 Seconds
That giant Space
That's insane
So you have it Ladies and gents I hope you enjoyed Today's Video Taking a look and some fast Mining techniques Did I miss any
of them out Let me know Down the Comment Section what mining techniques you tend to use to clear out large Spaces if They're only
Different from The Ones Featured in Today's Video Then I really want to hear them, maybe you use withers
Maybe Use Creepers I really don't know but Unfortunately that's all I've got Time for Today I hope you Enjoyed this Video if you
Did Be Sure That like Button and if You Really loved it then Make sure to subscribe but Thanks for Watching Guys This has Been
Mumbo and I'm out, I'll see you Later
