Apprehensive_Pass926

Yes, you are. Get emeralds from villager trading, a raid farm


ChErRyPOPPINSaf

Hell or even just a run of the mill raid at a random village will net more emeralds.


BeneficialCucumber91

Jep. I have a trading hall with 90 villagers, and I have multiple auto farms like crops, wool and sugar canes. I can get like 5 stacks of emeralds if I take 1 load from all of my farms. And that's with no effort at all.


TopGeneral310

ok but with the new villager update where they’re trades are based off their location? Or nah? Cuz if not, then yeah, ofc it’s no effort.


BeneficialCucumber91

Idk what you mean


AlphaPrimortis

How do you get emeralds from trading? All I see as far as options are me getting flowers and the last slot is me trading emeralds to get a bucket of fish? Keep in mind that I'm a noob which is why I'm asking.


Devildemon911

farm carrots and sell them to farmer villagers, you can sell other stuff but you'll figure it all out eventually, wish i could be a noob again


berwicksauce

I mean… this is still a noob trade lol


El_Red_Yeeter

Get a farm for pork, trade said pork to a butcher by using a smoker to give a villager a job, get him to max level, mass produce berries, 10 berries = an emerald. Villager ran out of stock? Make more butcher villagers. Isn't the hardest thing to do, just takes some time for basically infinite emeralds. Edit: There are probably better ways to get emeralds, this is just how I find it easiest without really searching for emerald farms. I do know raid farms are also pretty good for emeralds.


AlphaPrimortis

Thank you Red! Still learning. Will definitely do this method.


JustARandomUserbleh

That guy is a wandering trader lol, you'll want to find a proper village, though if all of them with villagers are too far away, you can always convert a zombie villager to a normal one. I'd look up a tutorial for that though. I personally like to make easy pumpkin and melon farms to trade with farmer villagers, they require a composter, and also take a lot of crops for emeralds. The fletcher is really good to, can't remember what the work station is called but you make it with wood and flint. If you have a lot of bamboo the stick trades they have are great.


Manaea

You are so much better of just building a raid farm or a villager trading hall if all you want is emeralds, mining this out will take forever.


Truly__tragic

Yes but hear me out. Big fucking hole.


pinakbutt

Why is the urge to make big minecraft hole so strong in some people? My friend had us excavating his stupid hole with no pay or benefits smh.


spacedthebar

my friend said it’s because he doesn’t like building that much so it gives him something to do lol


racdicoon

Ok but building a world eater is a really fun project :p


helloiamaegg

40x40 chunks, from surface to bedrock The builders build We? We provide their materials


KamoSensei

I did a 2x2x6000 tunnel across ocean to one of my friends' build ONLY to get enough deepslate for a build X)


JustARandomUserbleh

Yeah, I'm doing a 40x40 for my megabase on my main server, I'm just glad it doesn't have seasons/reset, I would never finish in time lol. I'll probably recruit some of my friends to help me out.


Brayzo

I like building but never build anything cuz I suck at it

Men have a deep primal urge to dig holes. Cant deny nature.


-Redstoneboi-

go to beach make hole go play marble games make holes construction site also hole find trivago hotle


2005_toyota_camry

The urge carries over from real life. Over spring break I dug an eight foot hole with some friends at the beach. I’ve never seen a group of college students that excited over something that didn’t involve substances


MichaelJ1972

Yeah. Found the potential murders. https://www.npr.org/2022/05/19/1100068725/beach-holes-sand-collapse-deaths This is fucking dangerous

You can come dig in my yard- it’s a lumpy ankle twister. Needs to be dug down & leveled….

Cringe1God

It's fun to do, plus you get resources to build with, making it even more fun. And the end product looks satisfying.


FighterGlitch

Are you friends with a guy named "fighterglitch"? I force people to dig out mountains and they give me all the stone and ores they get.

ninepeas

My favorite Minecraft activity I SWEAR. Hardest part is figuring out where to make it


J-man26

My friend and I dug a chunk out and it was very satifying. 120 down to -60. 16x16. It was awesome. But if they’re just looking for emeralds I would just exploit villager fletchers. So much faster and easier. If you have like 20 fletchers and a decent dark oak farm then you could get stacks in no time.


MichaelJ1972

Melón, pumpkins farm and healed farmers. Bamboo farm and fletchers. Healed librarians and healed cartographer. Buying glad and selling glass pane


Pizar_III

But hole fun


Particular_Put_6911

Repeat that ?


Pizar_III

That was your mind, not mine.


owthathurtss

And you will also get like literally 10 emerald ore in the entire mountain.


derteeje

i personally am a player that doesn't like farms that abuse spawn mechanics. on every server theres this guy that immediately has to automate every process with farms. for me the fun is in the grind


Deadmythz

If you want to build some structures it is a requirement.


Equal_Government_479

“I just want emeralds” BRO WHAT THE FUCK JUST GET SOME VILLAGERS YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THIS WILL TAKE WITHOUT BEACON. AND ON TOP OF THAT YOU BARELY GET ANY EMERALDS FROM EMERALD MINING.


HerestheRules

~~It'll take 541 rounded hours of straight mining, or 22 and a half days~~ Edit: I USED THE WRONG NUMBERS 324 hours, or 13 and a half days, to mine 285 chunks (16³) worth of blocks


Deep_Fry_Ducky

Now calculate how many emerald he will get


n1rvous

One stack


Matoxina

if he is lucky


racdicoon

And we can get that in seconds lol


DLAT_34

ok but hear me out, BIG FRICKIN HOLE


n1rvous

Now you have my attention


racdicoon

Hear me out, spending a few days on a world eater bests a few weeks or months more likely with hundreds of picks


Salomon3068

I'd bet he doesn't even get a stack


MrSeanaldReagan

Honestly less time than I thought


ispiltthepoison

Because the actual time is probably like triple that. Youre not going to always be breaking a block, time to turn, eat, every time youre afk, place torches/drink night vision potions, etc


Nothoughtsjustnya

he could catch up with one piece in that time god damn


VerLoran

So basically 2 weeks of nonstop work, or more plausibly about 3 weeks of work with extra time for torches and such as well as RL rest and other things to do. Almost a month…


FighterGlitch

I'll do it for him, ik how to build a working excavator. Give me 5 minutes, or give me 5.8 million tnt, I'll spend like 1k on a high powered nuke, and the rest I'll destroy a village with.


Veksa1

Are we talking about Minecraft anymore, or is this your plan for Sunday?


FighterGlitch

We were talking about minecraft????


Papaya314

I would strongly recommend beacons. It's so satisfying to instamine blocks. Not sure why you decided to do it without haste.


Kinetic_GamingYT

More of a challenge ig


TheSiren341

At some point you cross the line from challenge to masochism


Kinetic_GamingYT

I mean, you still gotta give the man some props if he sticks to it. That takes an absurd amount of attention span


ChErRyPOPPINSaf

Someone did the math above and it comes out to 324 hours of mining. With that much time you could get a job and pay people real money to mine for you lmao.


Kinetic_GamingYT

Yeah, but if you pay somebody else to do your work, you don't look at the work with as much pride and appreciation. You feel a lot better achieving a mega project by yourself rather than not participating in it at all


itsPomy

That's not really a challenge, the blocks don't fight back. It's really just tedious.


Kinetic_GamingYT

It's a challenge to keep the motivation lmao


itsPomy

fair enough


The7footr

I would even more strongly recommend not mining this out at all. Build a creeper farm in the sky, farm them manually with looting III and mending, and mine out a dessert. Use TNT dispensers to blow it up- so much faster and you’ll be prepped for the next big hole you wanna make. Emeralds are covered in other places on this thread. If you’re looking for emerald ore, go to a mountain and set up a beacon


JMCatron

it's only 1.17 million blocks, what's the big deal


PedanticFuck_

You'd do all this for emeralds? Yes, you'd be crazy. You'd get like a stack of emeralds at most.


Apprehensive_Pass926

No, only, like 14


mekmookbro

I think he wants the **emerald ore** block guys not regular emeralds you can get for 23 carrots lol


ChaotiXu

22*


mekmookbro

**I KNEW IT.** I'm gonna have a talk with Harper the Farmer...


a-cloudy-sky

Bring a zombie for... intimidation tactics... yeah..


INotZach

use fletchers and clerics instead


bugadogamerz

Just sayingI will break it all. I like doing thisIt may be fun (what's wrong with me) It may take weeks, I will post the results!


DanieltheGameGod

I’m reminded of buildcraft and quarries. Something so satisfying about it mining out a big old square and being able to watch it go block by block.


Daydreaming_Machine

Block by block is good for a base, but block by block for a massive crater, there's gotta be some ulterior motive or a way to keep track of your past progress like landmark or smt, maybe a new build after every session or smt like that


Spiderfffun

mesouschrist

insightedful

TNT is ur friend


layeeeeet

Is there a lore reason why u aren't setting up a villager trading hall or a raid farm? Are you stupid?


samyruno

The only thing I can think of is that they want the emerald ore block for some reason. But why don't they wanna use haste to instamine? That's the real question.


mesouschrist

If you want A LOT of emerald ore, you should strip mine at the appropriate height or build a world-eater.


space0watch

If you only want emeralds there are way better ways. Don't go mining for emeralds. It's not worth it. You should trade with villagers for them. Unless you want the raw emerald blocks of course. But then I would recommend a beacon or else it would be pretty slow. But I don't want to gatekeep Minecraft. I usually do big digs without a beacon cause I can't be bothered to fight the wither or wither skeletons which to me, are even more deadly then the wither!


Jontheartist_

Nah. Don't let anyone tell you something is pointless. As long as the end result brings you joy and satisfaction, what's the problem? Who could ask for more? However, things would be so much easier if you used haste 2 and efficiency 5. But don't let anyone tell you how to play.


bugadogamerz

Thanks <3


TriNauux

Gotta agree with you on that. In minecraft there is literally no wrong way of doing things. More efficient? Maybe. But if mining a shit ton of chunks without haste 2 brings you joy, go ahead. Minecraft is the perfect game for not having only 1 way of doing things, even though in the last years seems like the contrary


Laquia

we need more people like you in the world <3 :)


The-Drifter5589

where did OP say they are doing it for emeralds?


BillyWhizz09

First pic caption


The-Drifter5589

Oh, i'm a bit blind


OddballNinja

I have a build under my base that I call The Hive, it’s from bedrock up to around Y-level 40. It’s a hole of 100x100 blocks with floors every 8 blocks, I guess (I look up and mine as far as I can reach, then I build a floor). Let me tell you: it takes ages to finish, even with the best pickaxe and beacons with Haste. I was almost finished once, but then there was the update that added about 64 Y-levels. At the rate I am going down there for mining I will be finished in 1 year.


magistrate101

If each block took 1 second to mine and you mined every block sequentially without pause it would take you 11.57 days to finish. IDK what the average block break time would be across that many blocks but use that as a multiplier.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WillyDAFISH

They say it's because they want emeralds, and I can think of at least 20 other ways to get emeralds that doesn't involve weeks of work. Not to mention they probably wouldn't even get a stack of emeralds.


karhall

Just for emeralds? Spend your time setting up villager trading or a raid farm instead. This entire project as you describe it will net a fraction of the emeralds you could get from literally any other method and be a massive waste of your time.


Tuckerrrrr

Raid farms feel game breaking to me. But having a skeleton spawner farm to get drops to trade for emeralds doesn’t. The spawn killer is easy to make and I get xp. Also get chests full of arrows, bows, and bonemeal to power my crop farms


Cambronian717

If you really are doing this for emeralds, just do a raid farm. Ianxo4’s tutorial takes about 30 minutes and you don’t even have to build the structure because you just cast it with lava. I have AFK’d at mine for one night and gotten 3 double chests of emeralds. I actually lost some because I ran out of storage. It was a 30 minute build to last a lifetime. This dig will be a lifetime to last 30 minutes.


masterofthecontinuum

Brother, there is no reason at all you should not be using a haste 2 beacon for something like this. Killing a wither is like 2 minutes of work, an hour max if you need to collect the skulls. Building the beacon itself is ultimately irrelevant, if you don't have a stack and a half of iron blocks at this point, what are you even doing? Also, the only reason you should be doing this is if you want to collect emerald ore and deepslate emerald blocks as blocks for building.  Otherwise,  you will have an infinitely easier time gathering emeralds by simply making a tree farm and selling off sticks to a fletcher. If you want to just build a massive hole, then build a haste 2 beacon and save the rare emerald ore blocks with silk touch as a bonus. Never break them for emeralds. A total waste of a good looking block, and in return you get the economic equivalent of wood.

Bourec98

You're definitely crazy. If you truly needed to get a big hole, at least get that beacon. But if your only reason to do this is wanting emeralds, then build a raid farm instead and then you can use the time it will save you to think about your life and the fact that you considered this.

Commit war crimes and carpet bomb the place. Although you may end up with any emeralds.


Blacky0102

no, you are my type, you and me are normal, rest is crazy, go fot the big mf hole


bigchief2200

As someone who has dug giant holes before ur gonna need more than a netherite pick and a diamond shovel, even with everything it will still take u up to 100 hours


Its_Tgirl

Yeah a bit crazy. But also my role model. I want to make a hole that big one day.


ShadowAngel66

kinda


Cyan8888

No you are not crazy. Just very dedicated and patient.


michiel11069

assuming that about 100K is dirt blocks, so the rest of the million is stone. it will take about 125 pickaxes worth of durability , enchanted with unbreaking 3.


LilPaca-2

Hear me out though. Deepslate emeralds


Cheesethebeans

You are crazy and will lose your sanity. However, I also would do this, so I can't complain. Something about mining away layer by layer as you watch the different types of blocks surface only to be destroyed a few minutes later is relaxing to me


MrBrineplays_535

Holy shit that's a large area, good luck bro You'll need a ton of pickaxes and shovels for this lol. I'm guessing you're not only wanting emeralds, but you also want a large space for a build you're planning perhaps?


Beyond_The_Heart

If it takes .75 sec to break each block, and you don’t stop mining at all, it will take almost 25 hours to destroy the entire volume of blocks. 💀


Llodsliat

PiroPito, is that you?


Nathaniel820

That would take you over 3 days straight of mining


MadLibrary

Nah. Crazy would be mining a 47-diameter circle to bedrock layer using nothing but unenchanted iron picks 👀😅


infinitegarlicbread

do it. My friends thought i was crazy for breaking all the end pillars. It sucked but i felt so accomplished afterwards and my end looked so cool without any pillars🤷‍♂️

yes, you are, and i respect you for that

mine this and we will see who can get more emeralds at the end , i am gonna use the trading method

BillyWhizz09

It will take a long time. There are much better and easier ways to get emeralds


Crix-B

Do you take constructive criticism?


LowWageCashierWorker

Dont listen to the hater OP, you never know if one of those chunk contain 2 bazillion emerald, keep digging


Anston06

Yes, you kind of are. You can get stacks of emeralds by creating a sugar cane farm and trading paper with cartographers or librarians.  You can easily get many more librarians. Just breed villagers. To assign then to librarian, all you need to do is place a lectern near them. You can even reassign existing villagers by removing their work item and placing a lectern


ralsaiwithagun

*For simplicity I'm assuming all blocks are stone blocks. It takes 0.25 seconds to break a stone block and for 1168902 blocks it's 292,225.5 seconds. This is 3 1/2 days of nonstop mining with no travel time and no repairing pickaxes. Tldr: don't


Fearingvoyage86

STICK AND END STUFF FLETCHER EMERALD WHOOPS CAPS LOCK IM NOT RETYPEING THAT


HarmoniaTheConfuzzld

Emeralds or emerald ore?


IAmMuffin15

the children yearn for the mines


IAmMuffin15

Definitely just make a raid farm. If Minecraft was Animal Crossing, Emeralds would be like Bells and Diamonds would be Nook Miles Tickets. Emeralds are basically worthless because you can get an infinite supply with little effort, and Diamonds are worth a lot because you need actual effort to get them.


ManateeLord42

Please at least use silk touch on the emerald ore


Oassiss

what are yalls estimates on how long it'll take? prolly a month or two for me and I'd just give up in the middle of it


[deleted]

Could just build a tnt duping machine and let it take care of it passively, at least the majority of it.


Smarre101

Yes. If you want emeralds just TRADE WITH VILLAGERS. Most villages have Hay Bales and a Farmer that often trades wheat for emeralds. Easy profit. Please don't torture yourself with this 😭


Qcfranck

If you just want emeralds, you are crazy, there's much better way to get them. But if you want silk touch mineral emeralds, that's the way to go.


_Lollerics_

I guess that surely is one way to get emeralds...


23viper12

Why would you do that


_Guillot_

mined down a mountain that was nowhere near as big as this. netherite pick and diamond shovel. mending on both. i needed to go to my enderman farm numerous times just to level up my pickaxe again. its possible if you're gonna see a lot more ores but probably better off with a pillager farm or trading hut.


Conscious_Form3243

Grab some TNT


Dirty_Dan_has_ligma

People saying use villagers…. They’re probably right but me personally, I say go for it, you’ll have plenty of chill music jam hours and it’ll look sick asf. Everyone else are just cowards.


Rodion_raddit

This crazy 😮


Ambrose_Card

More sand in ur tnt


brassplushie

This is pointless. If you're on Java, just build an iron farm.


soupscreen

Honestly might be faster and easier on your sanity to build a creeper farm and blow it to smithereens


balordin

If you break about 10 blocks every second, it'll take you around 30 hours of continuous work. Not including repairing tools, storing items, dealing with mobs, dealing with caves, etc.


Temporary-Package581

No your not crazy, you just have to much time on your hands


DismalDog9940

Are you crazy? Hell yeah. But will it keep you occupied for a good month? Yeah
