Hermitcraft IX 1060 How Best To Farm Mangrove Trees? 

You don't summon it on the first alarm of the shriker, the darkness effect is just a warning.

X you don’t have to worry about the darkness effect when the shrieker shrieks until the third time it does so. After the third time you have to worry because the warden will spawn. Three strikes and then you’re out!

I can't help but smile when you noticed tango's little trick, he must be so happy someone noticed and appreciated it!

What I find impressive about the rib cage is how good it looks from the inside, which I think comes from the scale of the build and the attention to block placement to get an organic structure to feel right. Structures inside caverns can be tricky to get a good perspective on. But I can see how it may not be the most practical place to traverse, so it's a choice of how you balance form and function.

I remember watching Tango add the ender chests under the carpet while building the walkways, and(if my memory serves me) he said something along the lines of "nobody is ever gonna notice this but it's important to me so it's happening." You noticing Tango's dedication brought such a smile to my face, thank you X! 💙

Ah, I will never get tired of Xisuma IMMEDIATELY forgetting everything he told us in the snapshot videos as soon as he explores new updates in survival 😅

Ah, yes a Scar and Xisuma upload at the same time, life can't be better than that

The mud being dug out was most likely Scar, he went and got over two shulkers of mud probably at that same Mangrove swamp :)

"I don't think someone just build this overnight". Oh but he did X, he did.... They don't call him the Goat for nothing haha, ofc you meant overnight since the update to 1.19 which is not the case, but its still funny how doc's farms are just so massive and build with such speed.

I really wish we could bring the frogs in buckets. Sure you can put the tadpoles in buckets but if you want a specific type of frog you have to make sure it grows up in a specific biome and then transport the fully grown frog all the way back to where you want it. I spent well over 2 hours yesterday just to transport 2 frogs to where I wanted them to go.

The way X said “Ahh it’s a wimpy one!” to the small mangrove tree killed me lmao 😂 Edit: i meant to put wimpy instead of whimsy the time

I know the goal is to fly into parts of the ribcage, but it seems that they form natural sloping paths if you walk around them. You could make doorways in the sides of the spine that allow for access to each rib/floor as a secondary means for reaching them. The ribcage is glorious.

13:40 achacha trees

If you had pistons facing up on the spots where the roots create water sources, and observers next to them, these would detect the change of flow in the water and the pistons would push the roots removing the water sources in the process

7:33 Makes video about the snapshots, forgets that the shrieker must be activated at least 3 times globally to spawn the warden

That bald row of mangroves looks like a really good dilapidated/spooky wall. It's sort of natural and unnatural at the same time. Throw some cobwebs and glow lichen on it with some soul lanterns or purple frog lights.

I have never heard anyone but you pronounce acacia as ah-cha-che, its the little things that add uniqueness

Here's an idea, you could always add cracks or breaks in the ribs as the entrances to your farms, that skeleton has been trapped in the mountain for a long time after all, hard to believe that a skeleton of that magnitude would be pristine and completely intact...

I love the deep red of the Mangrove! I don’t like harvesting it. However with your science you showed me how the grow that might help me be more efficient. I appreciate that. I love the ribcage build. It’s epic!

This looks like a good way to farm Mangrove trees! Thanks, X!

That little mud farm you made is so cool. I love compact, straight forward designs like that. It's easy to build and saves a lot of time

I think you went to the exact same area of the swamp xB did! I recognized those two mangrove wood planks he used to stop some tadpoles from swimming away

The fact that the main trunk of the mangrove is in the same place that the propogule is planted is such an obvious but helpful tip, up until now I've just been stripping the leaves and logs one layer at a time, which is effective but very, very time consuming haha

The way X said “Ahh it’s a whimsy one!” to the small mangrove tree killed me lmao 😂

13:40 He did not just call acacia trees "achacha trees" 😭

I love how X has so many different pronunciations for 'Water Bottle'! All the way from 'Water Bottle' to full on 'WaRdEr BoDdLe' haha! Loving your season 9 so far X. Your skelly base is incredible!

So excited for 1.19 on the server!

Thank you so much for this. Those roots were frustrating me to no end, in my efforts to farm these trees. I never thought about taking my farm beneath the ground. That’s what I love about HermitCraft; always fun, and often educational. 🤠👍

14:10 the word "Goodness me" sounded so monstrous and evil 😂

The way X say Acacia tree really cracked me up 😂

3:30 THAT IS THE EXACT REASON WHY I KINDA HATE 1.19! It is called the wild update and it was implied there would have been a reason to stick around in some of the places but we get the boring dungeon that is the Deep Dark cities, like they look cool but they are dissappointing to explore, I was hoping for more of the nooks we saw in the Caves and Cliffs first reveal with the city being a rare dungeon with a bit more like having spawners with mobs that won't activate the Skulk sensors like Zombies and Skeletons, more so strays, so it would actually feel fun to explore instead of an overpowered miniboss that just exists. Like I would have taken out the Warden from it ngl and just added spawners with the Warden being the overall Deep Dark. The Birch Forest updates and the Mangrove Swamp deserved more attention IMO, like have a rare witch hut that isn't the regular Swamp version and is bigger due to the denseness of the Mangroves, hell Archeology would have fit better with the Mangroves than the underground city so you can have excavation pits in certain areas and the mud would have preserved what you find better than regular dirt. Then the Fireflies would have been a reason why I would have made a swamp base too so I could make Fire fly street lamps for a log city but mojang was like "nooooo~ we can't add the small bugs because some species are poisonous to mobs." But this is not a game based on real life and it is evident with frogs eating cubes of lava to make lamps is an evident sign of it and taking out Fireflies, which aren't even feeder insects, for that reason was idiotic. Beyond that the Birch Forest if added could have also expanded the Villager aspect like possibly having a hut with rare items being a rare thing would be cool along with possibly a llama kept there to signify its a Wandering Trader house and you can even have like a special carpet that you can only get there or from the trader woud have been cool to see as well and would have fit with the more mystical aspect the art provided. The Wild update was a majorly missed oppritunity and it sucks that it was, like I am staying on 1.18.2 until Optifine updates with a full release for 1.19 or even for 1.20's release date because of my distaste for what 1.19 brought and is lacking. Legitimately I just wish they did more focused updates instead of broad ideas and not have mob votes and just roll out the mobs slowly so we can see them realized instead of just feeling rushed from concept into play, like the Allay or the Phantom because both are kind of annoying and useless IMO, but the Phantom just needed time to cook longer because its the main one that I feel was robbed of potential as it was concept to game instead of fleshed out ideas like how the future mob votes went. Sorry this was a lot of my negativity, I am just going to be forever dissappointed with 1.19 as there were so many good ideas but the most lackluster one was the one that came through in full. Still your ideas on farming the Mangrove trees is one that I will definitely be thinking of doing as I actually do 1.19 when I get to it, I mean the whole segment of farming it manually has me thinking of ways to farm it because I am thinking of something chaotic: TNT Canons, specifically classic style ones from before Slimeblocks became a thing because I have been looking for a way to find new use for them and this may be the time.

Dude, you guys are so smart and creative! I don’t even know what redstone comparators and repeaters do, and you guys have entire farms you whip up just for a small segment of the video! So impressive guys 😁

Lol. Yeah I don’t recommend growing mangroves in huge clumps. I’ve found it works pretty good to climb to the highest bunch of leaves. There’s usually a vine that you can climb to that point or you can scaffold up. That’s where the branch comes out. That’s always going to be higher than the main trunk. Then dig in diagonally until you hit the trunk. Occasionally you’ll find a second smaller branch as well. And then once you clear the main trunk, if you’ve got the Vanilla Tweaks fast leaves thingy on (thank you for making that btw), you’ll know that you’d found all the wood because the leaves will disappear quicker. Then you still have to chop the roots manually but that’s not a huge deal.

the A-Ca-Ca 💃 tree I love the way you said that 13:38

X: I only brought a stack of wool Scar: you brought wool?

Hi X! Idk if you’ll see this but I really like the thumbnail’s for the video’s this season! Great job! Kudoos to you and you’re team!

2 options to counter the mangrove made water sources, use dispensers to start the water after growth, I'm using 1 dispenser on diagonal trays. The other option is to use pistons to raise then lower the floor. Because the roots grow in cardinal directions I found it easier and more efficient to plant then bonemeal individual propagules diagonally, using mud blocks to mark the line in the tray. Harvesting - I use a method similar to branch mining where I scaffold up on one end, use a how to remove the second row of leaves exposing the logs to harvest. After the row is clear I climb back up remove every 3rd row. The roots can be turned into bonemeal.

A few tips of wisdom for dealing with sculk ---- You can walk and sprint around on wool and carpets without making noise (beware of walking on the edges tho) You can traverse on ordinary blocks without being on wool but you'd HAVE to be crouched to not make noise The shriekers work on a 3 strike system, 4th strike and the Warden spawns The strikes are player specific and it remembers which strike you're on IF the warden does indeed spawn, you have a few moments to get away during it's animation (it also makes a lot of noise if you're not sure if it's spawned or not)

The fact that tango went above and beyond with the nether hub and decked out all in one season is absolutely INSANW

After you activated a shriecker, then the Warden spawns. You should loot those cities for the ‘Swift Sneak’ enchanting

If you're going to use a water collection system in a manual or semi-auto treefarm, use sticky pistons in combination with slime/honey blocks to raise a growing platform up to the water level to create a dry platform for planting and growing saplings. When everything is grown or you don't want to wait anymore, lower the platform down below the water so it reforms the proper streams and commence harvesting. You may need to adjust how high to raise the platform to ensure the mangrove roots don't penetrate through it, and with the slime/honey you can leave some space for the collector system.

thank you for this episode no word of a lie i was trying to think how to make mud faster and been working my brain trying to get something to work. also the base is looking amazing i cant wait to see how far down you will go

Minecarts Xisuma. Just think of it, mine carts that go up and down the tops of the rib bones, a central station in the sternum or spine that you can use to hop from one cart to the other that takes you to each farm. Why fly? Heck, it would be fun to see the carts moving up and down to your storage room, ironically giving your skeleton some life.

Rib cage looks Phenomenal, the whole skeleton does. Tho have to agree looks a wee tricky to navigate. Mangrove farm @ its base is rather Poetic with a "from death springs life" vibe.

For this type of farming, you can keep one tool in your off-hand, so you can swap the tools with the f button. Good farm!

Hey X, this was extremely helpful and I was really fascinated watching you do all this testing and come up with an efficient way of getting the mangrove logs. Thanks again for your content! ♥️

13:40 ✨ aCHAcha ✨

I'm loving your Skelliton/Necro theme this season.. Can't wait to see how it develops.

I really enjoy the exploratory style you demonstrate for learning about the new Minecraft mechanics!

For your mangrove propagules farm. It can also double as a semi auto coco Bean farm replacing the wall below the sticky piston with a jungle log. For bedrock players, the only slight change to the build would be to put a transparent block/slab beside the piston on the dispenser side to power both dispensers without triggering off the piston and a dust on top of said slab/transparent block. Everything else remains the same. Just rebuilt it with the above mentioned changes in my test world. Also added two hoppers and a wall of honey blocks to catch it. Now if you wanted to automate it. I’d attach an etho hopper clock to the initial piston instead of a button press.

This build is great!. I really like the concept and creativity. Also love the headgear!

“The ah cha cha trees...” lmao

The flight from the bottom of the rib cage to the storage area was glorious! So beautiful 👏🏼

This video is perfectly timed! Started a new Hardcore world for 1.19 and was looking for a low tech way of farming some Mangrove trees for my builds, and this design fits perfectly! My world is in the early stages (no End yet, limited Nether), but I have a nice skeleton spawner near my base so bonemeal is no problem, this farm fits perfectly for those pre-mega farm stages, since Mangroves were a MASSIVE pain to just casually farm without some type of design. Thanks for this one!

The rib cage view from the bottom is just breathtaking. Wow!

The view from the bottom of the rib cage is fantastic! So cool and I guess I never thought about how curved a spine is. And thanks for bringing us through the exploration and experimentation process with the mangroves. X is a great teacher!

I plonked down a portal at my local Mangrove Swamp once I found it, and linked it to my nether roof to make it a shorter hop to my light farm (no mob cap issues off-server). Temperate and Warm frogs both tend to spawn around the Mangrove Swamp it seems, so that's easy. Breeding them there and taking the tadpoles to a cold biome seemed the path of least resistance, I already had a portal to a cold biome. But according to Wiki, The End is considered a Cold biome (never knew that, or it's new). You should be able to breed Cold frogs there, and who doesn't have an end portal route already?

I'm looking forward to seeing the Bone Mage's shears.

I really love your mud farm design. I've been needing something like that!

Hey X, I noticed that it was very interesting that the tree, while it was always centered over the sapling, actually grew up on the higher area that was open to the sky. I'm wondering if you could abuse this along with build limit to setup a situation where the tree can only grow one our two blocks high before hitting build limit and then just piston those few wood blocks away for harvesting.

When X flew through the nether hub all framey, I felt that

Couple of things: 1. I am LOVING the skeleton this season as a whole. For ease, I personally think you would be making the right decision to move the entrances to the farms. Let the skeleton be an epic art piece. I am happy you moved your nether portal, too, to make things easier on yourself. Again, the look of the build is amazing in itself, but you need something quick and easy. 2. I have only been playing the game for several years at this point. I have played every version on every device and console including modded on Java, but I have found that I prefer to do things manually (back to basics I call it). I just enjoy playing Minecraft at a leisure for the exploration of the game. I play it as if I'm playing a Zelda game. Can I just tell you my jaw DROPPED when you did the ender pearl to the top of the spruce tree! You just made me so happy! I also want to thank you for taking the time to find out the best process for the manual mangrove farming. 3. Your weapons are looking EPIC! 4. Your giggle at the frog was just so heart warming. As always, I really enjoyed your video today. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your channel and community. It is always a pleasure watching your content.

"It's not like you can pick them up and put them in a bucket" Tadpoles: am I a joke to you?

Hey xisuma! Love your content this season, keep it up :)

"Wo'oh bo'oh" made my day

Oh that's funny I follow a golfing channeling from the UK and the dude is always saying "get stuck in" and I've never heard anyone else say that phrase until the last couple seconds of this video. Cheers Xisuma!

you could add growths to the rib cage to spot areas, or put flesh like bits on

At 18:50, when X says "How Bizarre" it sounded exactly like the old song, "How Bizarre" by OMC. I couldn't concentrate until I found the song and listened to it.

Thanks for the tips on farming Mangrove trees. That is way easier than what I've been doing...

love that one song from 1.16 update that you put on as you found the deep dark

I love how britishly X said “water bottle”

i love how xisuma's level of over caution was roughly equivocal to scar's complete sense of abandon. 😆

Love the explanation about mangrove trees. Also, seeing ur reaction to the warden was funny 🤣

I understand your point about it being nice to have a reason to stick in the mangrove for a long time, but for me the reason is simply because it looks nice. My goal on worlds is always to build something in each biome, and nether them all up!

17:59 Like butterflies in your stomach

Love how productive your videos are

Thanks for the simple mangrove tree farm, super helpful!

Thank you X for all the great information

Watching this after getting my phone back from Army basic training after I got popped for COVID and being quarantined. This is one positive, thanks X

you should totally build a froglight farm, then maybe sell them. i think everyone would want some cool new lights

love the acacia tree pronunciation just after 13:39

I like the ribcage idea you had... a central base to start from then you can use the slight angle of the ribs as a stairwell to walk up to the farms hidden outside the ribcage

I was just wondering this today!

Very helpful, I've been wondering how to manually get mangrove stuff easiest

Thank you for the Mangrove farm. I was wracking my brain trying to limit the growth. Never thought to go underground!

Really appreciate the tips with farming those pesky mangrove trees, Cheers X!

if you wanted to the opportunity to walk around and be in the rib cage bones, you could make walkways that come out of the spine area near the portal. these would walk down the ribs and then enter rooms inside the mountain. stairs/elevators would move the player up and down and take advantage of all the available ribs. then when leaving these rooms, you would be able to fly around the spae in the ribcage and still get that view.

The way he pronounced acacia between 13:35 and 13:45 has me dead haha

Wow the ribcage looks awe inspiring. Never seen anything like that before.

You easily have the most relaxing hermitcraft videos :)

Dude! The bone tools are amazing!

LOL, you have butterflies in your stomach (aka phantoms).

Put landing pads along the rib cage, can do wooden planks making bridges across too

I remember about a year ago I tried to make the most pointless farm in minecraft, so I made a water farm, which made water buckets and then stored them in shulker boxes. Absolutely pointless. I later googled it and found out a lot of people had already made such farms, and they were a lot more compact and sensible than my farm, and I also learned that it was a great concept for filling glass bottles for auto-brewing so it wasn't as pointless as I thought. And now I see with the new mud block it's actually a very useful concept. I'm gonna have to find my old design and make a contraption like you made. Only I'mma make it less efficient and less compact, because if I don't make it my own way I just won't understand how it works and that's no fun. Then I'll come back to yours and see what I did wrong :) Still wondering what the most pointless farm in minecraft could be, though. A tropical fish farm maybe? Or a nitwit breeder?

Thx for the mangrove knowledge.

TYSM Xisuma for making amazing contents.

Great rib cage reproduction; looks very true to the shape of real ribs!

Sorry the what? Ach-Cha Cha tree? IM SORRY its AH-KAY-SHA, Acacia, love the vid!

Once again a useful offhand would be nice in Bedrock. Ah, well. We use what we have. I'm digging (heh) the mud farm!

X what if you had certain spots of your rib cage be fake walls with map art, so you can go “through” the wall. And it can be a bigger hole so it’s easier to access and you can keep your original idea for navigating your base. Also bonus points for having it be kind of secret where the entrances are. Just a thought. :)
