Dripstone Is OP In Minecraft 1.20 - Lava Farming, Traps, Renewable Clay & More! 

Drip stone was even more op when it first came out. Back then you could have water above it like in the water farm, but then put potions in the cauldrons and it would actually raise the level of the potion. Meaning you could actually have an infinite *potion* farm as long as you don't collect the bottom level of potion

I slept on dripstone for far too long

Easily the best minecraft RU-vidr to watch. He knows what he’s talking about and he’s not annoying like the other clowns.

This interesting shape when stalactite connects to a stalagmite is called stalagnate

One thing to add (mainly for people playing in skyblock/superflat). Try not to craft the pointed dripstone into the blocks. A stonemason will actually sell dripstone blocks, which is much easier and faster

You know he covers completely a topic when he mentions the "dripstone water farm"

So many things I never knew about dripstone! You always find a way to take a seemingly mundane item and create amazing content around it - and in an interesting and fun way with lots of tricks - like the trident!! Be careful it doesn’t hit you “square in the eye!” 🤣 Thanks again for your great videos! 💚🌲

Did not know about the clay farm! I'm definitely going to use that in my world. Thanks for the awesome vid 😊

I need a clay farm so bad. I built a nursery in my castle because I love the flowers in minecraft and even collected almost all the saplings. So I need so much more clay planters 😩

I was building a house today and I struggled a bit getting on and off the roof, you using that scaffolding opened my eyes, so useful!

‏‪13:39‬‏ "And had that dripstone hit us square in the eye" Said eyecraft when in F5 mode .. That made me laugh more than it should XD

Clay is already the item I like to make money off of from villagers because it was already somewhat easy to get a good amount of. It's awesome that it's completely renewable now.

Renewable lava and clay? Well then...this guide was well needed! Thank you.

solid video, renewable lava is extremely overlooked esp. by new players

Ive been using drip stone for mud>clay conversion for months....but i only recently set up a lava farm, and honestly i cant believe it took me this long. Its great not having to run to the nether everytime i need lava buckets (i smelt a lot of ores and glass)

Good to see you back. Awesome video !

Great too see ya back! Missed you

Just saw this uploaded, friggin' sweet. Always a good time to see a new Eyecraft video.

Finally we got video, and by this so interesting theme. Thank you, Eyecraft!

Just watched tne survival vod where you mention making a dripstone video! I just wanted to say thank you for presenting your content the way you do, without over the top music and loud editing. The last time i tried getting back into minecraft it was really intimidating because it seems so different from when i used to play. Youre a huge part of the reason why my girlfriend and I are playing again! Thank you

Great to see you upload again!

So glad to see you back! Hope all is well. ❤

Been missing your content. Been watching back the older stuff. Thanks for the info!

Awesome vid!

welcome back dude! we missed you!! 🎉

Another great one. Ive learned so much from this channel

Great ideas. You've gone above and beyond as always! I had no idea you could make mud or clay. Now both are renewable. Thanks!

Can you believe I was kinda worried for not seeing you uploading anything new for a month or so...glad to see you back

Great video, i thought i knew everything about dripstone, but half of this was new to me

I miss your videos. They’re all so informative and you’re great with puns. I can see that maybe you’re finding it hard to think of ideas for videos. I have three idea suggestions: 1. Somethings you’d like to see updated into minecraft. 2. Build mechanics and tips 3. Late game projects to do when bored

Just made a smol lava farm in my base thanks to this vid!

I somewhat automated my mud-to-clay farm with droppers full of water bottles, then some hoppers with empty bottles under the droppers. Then redstone to a switch, so you place dirt, flip a switch and they turn to mud, then the dripstone turns it into clay.

I used dripstone a ton in my last Minecraft world and still did not know that about crouching when placing to stop the stalactites and stalagmites linking! Learnt something new.

I love dripstone. This is the the only way I know that I know of to get an lava source farm.

the "water farm" is not useless - If you play a lot with banners and use cauldrons to clean them, that's a way of re-filling the cauldron automatically, but slowly

4:00 I hear a laugh please do that more often. Great vid by the way!! "Square in the EYE" good one Eye

Lava farm is really useful

I did build a clay 🧱 farm. Thanks for the tip.( It rocks!) I even added an on site chest for dirt, shovels, water bottles, and the clay, if need be. I even added an on site water resevoir so you don't have to go far to refill the bottles and dump water bottles on the dirt. Also stairs to easily reach the top of the wooden part of the farm.

It has been a really long time since the most recent upload, yet it's still worth it.

Haven't really touched the game in over two years. Thanks for all yhe content its been incredibly helpful

I like to put a single potion bottle in each cauldron and use the water/dripstone farm to make an infinite potion farm. Just be sure to only take 2 bottle at a time when it's full and it'll fill back up with the potion over and over. Severely OP

Of course eyecraft will come up with something this good

Wow u finally came back

That is really cool that you can make clay from mud.

damn that lava farm is super useful thanks

Wow! The lava farm is a revolutionary change for me! I'm too simple to use redstone stuff so this is something I can understand and implement

Eyecraft is back!

Missed you eyecraft. My favorite Minecraft RU-vidr.

Something I saw in the intro and I was like I never even thought about that you can use tridents to make the stalactites fall. I assume this also works with arrows. Imagine fighting enemies like that

If we change the lava for honey block on the lava farm does it work for collecting honey?🤔

That's very interesting so the water and the drip stone block causes dripstone to grow on the ceiling of it. That would explain why mine got so large after a few days

If I remember correctly the dripstone is growing from a dripstone block too, it doesn't need an initial dripstone (but the water is still needed of course).

I hope they add more forms of dripstone, like Columns(Where stalactites and stalagmites meet), IRL "dripstone" is the collective name for a bunch of cool cave mineral formations

Finally a new video after a long time

What were those green gelatinous looking blocks that you had the drip stone hanging from when you were discussing traps?

Watching this while afking at froglight farm😂

I just realized that too, on my new survival world I made a lava farm with drip stone and I already made a single chest full of lava buckets, it's so fast!

For the past few days imma watch all ur vdo bout minecract dude, omg damn relieved you made a new vdo👁️👄👁️

7:16 this is so important.ive been wondering why mine was skipping rows and I think this is why.

I get so happy whenever you post

I appreciate the work you put into "square in the eye"

I love making a dripstone infinite lava machine. I have a huge supply of obsidian I’ve made from it now. it’s perfect for all the portals I need for my subway system

Such an epic video good job men❤😊

I see the lava farm's ability to burn items as a feature rather than a downside. Now not only does it serve as an infinite source of lava, it also doubles as a trash can.

welcome back

Regarding the traps potential: Hermitcraft used it to pretty much one-shot a wither. They had a compound structure with multiple tips - but it was a pile driver.

You are still legend 💖🌹 I always waiting for your video notification

For some reason finding a dripstone cave have been challenging

Part of me was hoping that as well the dripstone could help with potion making. I know that normally if water is interacted with cauldron with a potion in it it completely evaporates and is destroyed but I think the exception should be the stalactites. I mean think about it you have a potion by say one level or you put one bottle in the cauldron. It should be a thing where the water drips in there and it can raise the level of the potion up till it's full. So that one potion can turn into three very easily and you get a renewable source of potions. Unfortunately doesn't work

Please keep uploading videos, we miss you a lot!

Eyecraft The GOAT 🐐

HES BACK

if I use that lava farm is it possible to run out of lava at the top around the glass

What'll come out from a dripstone if you're in the END Dimension ?

Wait… if you are in a 1.20 sky block world you could technically get to the nether in the following theoretical steps. Step 1 is to grind for a while normally until you have a surplus of wood and cobblestone and then build a mob farm. Step 2 is to collect all the drops until you get 144 gold armor or tool pieces, that number because you can smelt a gold armor piece for one nugget, nine nuggets make an ingot, and eight ingots and an apple make a golden apple, which you need two of. Step 3 is to make a few boats and capture a witch and two zombie villagers. You can do this by making a giant platform. Step 4 is making the witch throw a weakness potion at you which hits the zombie villagers in the crossfire. You can now heal the zombie villagers with your golden apples if they did get hit. Step 5 turn one of them into a fishermen, which has fish and string trades, those are things you can get in sky block. Step 6. You now have emeralds, turn the platform that helped you capture the villagers and witch into a wandering trader farm which is just a place to wait for a trader to spawn. Step 7. Eventually you will get a trader trade for dripstone, buy it. Step 8. While you were grinding for all the gold armor you also had a good chance of passively getting rare iron drops from zombies. If you were lucky, enough to build a cauldron, if not, grind more. Step nine. Collect the lava, the cauldron, some blocks, and the dripstone and create infinite lava which you can turn into obsidian using the speed runner portal strategy. Step 10. Their is no flint available yet for flint and steel so you have to get the lava to burn a piece of wood to light the portal. You now have a video idea and a way to get into the nether on skyblock. Also, you don’t really need two villagers, I was thinking that you needed a tool smith for a diamond pickaxe, but no, you don’t, I was simply too lazy to say that earlier.

I love dripstone...always use it for my furnaces.

RIP to the bedrock “glitch” where dripstone could restore potions in cauldrons and therefore give you infinite tipped arrows

There's so much about mud that I don't understand so the renewable Clay is definitely something I never knew

You're back

Dripstone used to be even more OP. if you put any potion into a cauldron and use dripstone with above it, you could increase the amount of potion. Infinite potions.

Stalactites hold tightly to the ceiling Stalagmites might grow to reach the ceiling

Stalactites hold tightly to the top. Stalagmites are the mighty bases of pillars. Just a memory trick.

OMG I feel like an absolute donut, how I wish I stumbled across this before I made my world!

1:27 OP forgets that the Dripstone block is also sold by Mason villagers which then can create pointed dripstone with a water source block above the dripstone block. (played *way* too much skyblock not to figure that trick out)

Y’all could figure out some water farm in the nether. On default, drip stone drips water if it’s hanging from a drip stone block (At least in bedrock edition)

I fall asleep to these videos because the voice is so soothing

take a sip every time he says "dripstone"

Fun fact: you can tell the difference between a stalagmite and stalactite because in its spelling the C is for ceiling and the G for ground. I learned that in a comic book

Bro this is unironically free therapy

Yoo, he's back 🎉

Place a cauldron outside. Where it snows a lot. To collect powdered snow. FYI, it takes forever.

I swear I must’ve misread the video cuz I thought it said lodestone ☠️

Dripstone String Slime blocks Powder snow Probably the 4 cornerstones of indirectly op'd blocks in minecraft Dripstone=this String= pre patch string dupers villager trades crafting tripwire craft into WOOL 2nd best use imo i put wool and string together for it alot Slime blocks = fall stopper easy clean up easier to find than bamboo at cave level. Free frog breeding and froglight. Powder snow= skeleton to stray farm mob trapper mlg fall stopper and fire extinguisher

The water farm is useful if you plan to dye a lot of leather armor or collect a set of every color.

Idk if you can do this in Java, but in Bedrock you can get more HP by setting the /effect commands to yourself up to the limit: 255 (i believe.) Half my screen was hearts , the stalactites can't KO you with that buff 😂

Dripstone was even more OP when you could use it for making potions back in summer of 2021. That was extremely overpowered before they patched it in September 2021.

I actually never knew that if you put a dripstone in the nether it just drips lava. So that's very interesting

The water farming can be useful if you turn off the infinite water gamerule.

Cant even deny this
