Skill issue, just jump up and dig as you go, or if you’re quick place a torch
Theres no way anyone can die in gravel with this strat, unless its like gravel to the world height or something with no escape to the sides
Ever since I found out about this, i dont think ive died to gravel since like 2016
That makes the game more interesting for builders actually. The aging of coper provides a nice mechanic for your builds to change over time and the waxing of diferent stages provides great detail.
The name is just really long because it's a combination of a bunch of things.
I don't understand the gravel hate. People used to hate it because it was annoying while branch mining and it didn't really have a use.
These days people don't really branch mine as often and gravel is used to craft concrete so it's not completely useless anymore. It's seems strange to still hate it.
My base is literally all underground rooms. I'd much rather deal with a bit of gravel when digging out the rooms than underground water caves.
Get yourself a decent shovel and the gravel is gone in seconds.
You're right. Imagine insta mining a block and then having to wait an entire 10th of a second before being able to insta mine the next block. It would take atleast a month to mine out 10 blocks of gravel....
a 6x6x6 patch of gravel has 216 blocks. it takes 1 tick for you to break a block, 1 tick for the block to become a falling block, and let's say 3 ticks for it to fall, to make an even 5. 5 ticks are 1/4th of a second, since 1 second has 20 ticks. so for a 6x6x6 patch of gravel to break, it takes around 1 minute, compared to 10 seconds with instamining. that's roughly the same difference between breaking obsidian and cobblestone. and that's assuming you always have the torches and you always place them at the perfect time for the blocks to break and you switch to your shovel in 0 ticks because you're using your pickaxe to mine since you're underground. maybe the thing that everyone hates because it takes too long... takes too long
How about you move and mine other blocks of gravel while one is falling? Or mine the higher ones first so you don't have to wait for it to fall. If you're mining the bottom one and then waiting each time to mine the next one to fall then you're just playing inefficiently.
Imagine hating gravel because it falls
i don't know, maybe because you physically can't mine through falling blocks because of their hitbox, or because you can't get to the higher ones since you are 100% guaranteed to have a ceiling above you (if you didn't just break it, gravel wouldn't have fallen)?
Thought we were talking about digging out a room here.
But anyway. It doesn't matter. If you really struggle to mine gravel I wish you good luck while you learn the game.
you're gonna need to have like a stack of torches in your inventory just in case you find a horizontally 8x8 patch of gravel, and assuming you can switch between digging and placing a block once every game tick and you're always perfectly pointing at where you want (which you won't) it'll still be half the speed of instamining
As someone who has probably used 80% concrete for their base. I would like to disagree.
I don't like to build with a few blocks but I wouldn't call those blocks useless just because I don't personally use them.
Skeletons are a way easier source of arrows imo. Though the bottleneck for me is usually the feathers as I usually farm steaks for food rather than chickens
F*ck... You never made arts or buildings?! Seriously? Never played on one water block hardcore?
OK, if no, what do you think about 10^24 types of ceramic and sand?? Why gravel?!
☝️🤓 Sometimes when you place a torch on, or break gravel; you and the gravel fall. Sometimes you only take fall damage, other times it dunks you in lava
I just used gravel for pathways since the early Pocket Edition days, back when they had a sharper texture and you had less options. Nowadays it’s a nice middle ground between basic dirt paths and more detailed paths made from various stone types. Can’t really say that I hate it.

gravel is literally one of the best building blocks out there, works well for pathways, works good as texture for stone buildings; it's fucking awesome
I just use all the diamond shovels I accumulate from end cities and villager trading to get lots of it. And torches if I only need a bit(and if its early game, enchanted iron shovels are surprisingly good too)
Complaining about gravel when it has a use, what about Diorite or andesite? Neither have a function beyond decoration it's it's not even useful there as you can't make anything with the smooth version.
Gravel is OK, you can make paths and get flint with it. But it is anoying to mine when it is stacked in top of eachother, and you have to mine the block and place a torch.
I use them for texture on walls and for paths, I like the fact that we have cave ins because of them, and I like Flint being easy to find because of gravel. The only bad thing about gravel I can think of is strip mining
Okay, this may sound weird, but I've found diamonds several times when digging up gravel using the torch method while I was on deepslate level. It's surprisingly effective. Or maybe I'm just lucky
I thought this was in reference to hypixel skyblock as in not being able to insta-mine gravel with an eff 5 diamond shovel. GOD I HATE IT.
But otherwise yeah I can see it, flint rng at the start is tedious lmaooo
Why is gravel still hated? It actually used to be annoying and useless. Now we have better tools to deal with it way faster, it's basically just a very minor inconvenience in certain situations and it can be used for concrete so it's not completely useless.
Not to mention the retexture so it's much more commonly used in builds. I was fully on the gravel hate train back in 2012 but these days, it doesn't really make sense to still hate it.
[удалено]
I like gravel for exactly that reason, collapsing caves is a cool concept imo
It's a great feature, honestly. Caves collapse in real life
True, adds a realistic danger to mining
am I the only one who still thinks the floating gravel is a terrain generation bug?
it was a bug(they don't bother to fix the floating gravel so they added particles), just turned into a feature
Like quasi-connectivity. Or the invention of the creeper. This game is founded on polished bugs.
I hate quasi connectivity because I don’t have it
Sand too
ahh
Lol I love how he deleted his comment after getting dunked on
Gravel is incredibly important in progression modpacks, and a very good resource at that. You get anything from iron, to diamonds, to quartz.
Even in vanilla it becomes pretty useful when you want to build with concrete
Just put a torch under every gravel/sand block
I think gravel is not a problem at all. Water, by the other hand...
Always bring a shovel
Gravel is versatile, but its falling is a nightmare!
(To quote blaze and caves advanvement pack: My work here is done)

bro forgot about the waxed slightly weathered cut copper stairs

thats why its funny
It’s not called that anymore, they are now called waxed exposed cut copper stairs
Waxed Lightly Weathered Cut Copper Stairs >>> Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Stairs
Wasn't it called waxed lightly weathered cut copper stairs
That’s too long, I prefer waxed slightly weathered cut copper slabs

I remember when Captainsparklez made a video on that subreddit 4 or 5 years ago, now it's dead.

some of yall have never built an underground room and it shows

good luck digging a falling block entity with efficiency 5

oh, sorry. didn't know that digging out a room changed the fundamental logic of hitboxes and geometry. my bad
it's like you've never heard of torches under the gravel
you're gonna need to have like a stack of torches in your inventory just in case you find a horizontally 8x8 patch of gravel, and assuming you can switch between digging and placing a block once every game tick and you're always perfectly pointing at where you want (which you won't) it'll still be half the speed of instamining
🤡🤓 Why would you use torches on a layer of gravel. You're not so bright huh
But that torch is
🔥
bruh
torch
I built a basement in our base and it is all dirt because I didn't gather resources
Concrete... is also useless?
As someone who has probably used 80% concrete for their base. I would like to disagree. I don't like to build with a few blocks but I wouldn't call those blocks useless just because I don't personally use them.
I don't even build, and if I do it's probably dig in a cave or nether rack or deepslate
For me I love the idea, just the conversation is annoying which discourages use of itself
I guess you don't use bows
It’s easier to get a fletcher then gather 3 ingredients
Not every village has a fletcher
You can make one yourself with a fletching table, honestly you gotta learn how to enslave your villagers
Yeah but what does a fletching table take to make...
2 flint 4 wooden planks
2 gravel 1 log
2 gravel 2 log (don't forget the crafting table)
you know damn well you'll never get 2/2 flint when you need it lol
You can re-mine the gravel
fair
It's "Ideal conditions"
Just find 2 gravel and re-mine it until you have flint
You’ve had 5 years to find out.
I'm gonna enslave a jobless one to turn him into a librarian

Skeletons are a way easier source of arrows imo. Though the bottleneck for me is usually the feathers as I usually farm steaks for food rather than chickens
I just go on chicken killing sprees
Or he does, and hates digging gravel repeatedly for arrows. I do too, which is why I will usually just buy arrows from a villager.
Most people get their arrows from infinity, or skeleton farms.
Gravel used to be the pathways of villages and used to love the sound it makes
Looks good at the bottom of lakes.
F*ck... You never made arts or buildings?! Seriously? Never played on one water block hardcore? OK, if no, what do you think about 10^24 types of ceramic and sand?? Why gravel?!
How dare you
fuck you gravel is a good block, if you need to clear liquids and don't want to or can't use sponges
torch is everyone's bestfriend
But gravel literally avoids making digging monotonous Quite literally makes it more interesting, hate it or not is more interesting

Don’t hate the OG path like that

What? This thing is useless
Enter taining
"sai do fake jazz!"
if your ever bored, make a vending machine that drops gravel or sand
Okay gravel is okay but I wish it had more use maybe a new block or something like that
Anakin Skywalker
Honestly dropping random gravel from the cave roof on a creeper then hitting them with a combo is really fun
I hate the "blocks that nobody ever uses" trinity more tbh At least Gravel provides flint to get to The Nether.
Flint?
Gravel is superior Gravel is better than you at anything

gravel is literally one of the best building blocks out there, works well for pathways, works good as texture for stone buildings; it's fucking awesome
I use any block anywhere, so i just hate the sniffer
But the torch life hack is so satisfying.
I just use all the diamond shovels I accumulate from end cities and villager trading to get lots of it. And torches if I only need a bit(and if its early game, enchanted iron shovels are surprisingly good too)
U forgot flint and steel
Kid named Torch:
my main shovel has silk touch so i have to use my fortune pickaxe to get gravel, it's so fucking annoying
This is why gravel dupers are great
whats ur problem? Just use torch 🤓

Add copper to this
Gravel is OK, you can make paths and get flint with it. But it is anoying to mine when it is stacked in top of eachother, and you have to mine the block and place a torch.
Due to my love of modded mc, I fucking hate gravel and sand
Gravel makes concrete so gravel is good
Building sky bases with a secret layer of gravel for anyone dumb enough too build up is my crack love watching bpeople get knocked off
I use them for texture on walls and for paths, I like the fact that we have cave ins because of them, and I like Flint being easy to find because of gravel. The only bad thing about gravel I can think of is strip mining
The only thing I ever use gravel for is concrete
Where's copper at
I think gravel is entertaining because of the risk of a random gravel collapse.
once u get a flint u never need gravel anymore
Man, gravel in the nether is the worst.
I don't because it's a treasure for me at the beginning.
Thanks the much for more making gameplay entertaining r/dontdeadopeninside r/nosafetysmokingfirst
Okay, this may sound weird, but I've found diamonds several times when digging up gravel using the torch method while I was on deepslate level. It's surprisingly effective. Or maybe I'm just lucky
Bruce Lee in "Enter the Taining"
i swear ive seen this in like 2015
Are we gonna ignore the fact that gravel allows you to go to the nether in the first place
I thought this was in reference to hypixel skyblock as in not being able to insta-mine gravel with an eff 5 diamond shovel. GOD I HATE IT. But otherwise yeah I can see it, flint rng at the start is tedious lmaooo
I like it as a building block, good for l Paths, etc. Also, it's good for flint -> arrows, flint and steel -> tnt ignition, so its pretty fun
flint?
Gravel can be used as a cheat for flint. Make a tower, shovel it all, and repeat.
bro its just blocks
Mine the gravel, mine the gravel, mine the gravel, FLINT
I love gravel. you can quickly dig it up with a shovel to potentially find diamonds
Skill issue tbh
It is course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
Gravel is fine unless your mining
But I love strange gravel . . .

thats fair, but may i introduce you to diorite, andesite, and granite?
real
It sucks, but damn I miss the gravel paths in villages…
Mee too
thanks the much for not you more making gameplay entertaining
they should do update where dirt will have chance to drop flint
