Are Tridents & Crossbows Good? ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let’s Play [Ep.43]



The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 3 continues in Minecraft 1.20!
This tutorial will show you how to get a trident, how to craft a crossbow, and the enchantments that can be applied to both these unique weapons!

We discover how much harder it is to get a Trident on Minecraft Java Edition than it is on Bedrock Edition, then bring home two tridents to enchant with Loyalty, Impaling, and Riptide!
We then craft several crossbows to look at the various enchantments like Piercing, Quick Charge, and Multishot. We also explore how crossbows can be loaded with fireworks for a risky but explosive power upgrade!

    Something to add about Buried Treasure Chests:
    Like Pix said, on Java, they are always buried at the chunk's x=9 z=9.
    But On Bedrock, they are always buried at the chunk's x=8 z=8.
    Although since Bedrock won't show you the chunk's coordinates directly, this involves using the world coordinates plus some math.

    Also, might have been a nice opportunity to address the rumor that breaking a buried treasure chest prevents newly found maps to point at the same coordinates.

    It's crazy to me the number of differences between Java and Bedrock editions in this episode. I know most of the reasons for the Tridents, but wasn't aware that Java handles Impaling so differently… That's weird to me

  7. Mak Lego on

    Pro tip for nighttime drowned hunts: use f3+B on java to reveal hitboxes. The drowned will show up a lot easier this way, making your quest for tridents a lot simpler.

    8:46 back in my bedrock days I did this and got ridiculous numbers of tridents. Because trident killers are a thing they are much more necessary in larger quantities on bedrock

  8. Mak Lego on

    16:46 also worth noting that riptide is the best accelerator for an elytra(not counting tnt launching), being significantly faster than even tier 3 rockets. Not exactly useful at your stage but still good to know

  10. Hiro Uchiha on

    In bedrock it was in 1.15 last be4 the nether update where Drowns without the tridents drops tridents Although I never played 1.14 and 15 I directly played 1.13 to 1.16

  11. Mark Bond on

    I have the feeling that in order to "bring java and bedrock more in line" they'll make impaling on bedrock more like java like they've been doing for so many other features

  13. Sky Phoenix 3991 on

    That thing with zombie converting to drowned on bedrock, that was our first farm 😅 we managed to gather two double chests with tridents, it was insane, Till they patched it. Was fun while it lasted

    A note on the riptide trident, if wielded in your left hand and a sword or axe wielded in your right, you can do extra damage when you hit someone with the throw.

  19. Triggerfish05 on

    Thank you for not forgetting about us Bedrock players. The parity is not intuitive but is certainly significant. I have spent much time trying to get a Java feature to work only to learn it is not compatible with Bedrock.

    Mr. Pix. Back when 1.14 came out you were able to attack pillager captains with a crossbow loaded with fireworks and not receive bad omen. I have tired it a few times recently, and it no longer seems to work. I keep getting bad omen. Has this mechanic changed?

  24. Thomas Wagner on

    Since you can add a Fire Charge within the recipe of an Firework Star, in order to make the explosion of the Rocket appear bigger, I always wondered, does the area damage also have a larger radius? ´৹⏑৹`

  26. ArturoPladeado on

    Piercing crossbows pretty much gives you unlimited arrows, including tipped arrows as long as you don't hit the max numbers of enemies and you almost never will unless you are farming a spawner and multishot is currently the closet thing you can get to a mage in Minecraft and fire 3 "fireballs" at once.

  27. Joel Pierce on

    Tridents are great. A riptide trident not only makes you fast in the ocean, when used with an elytra it can save you so many firework rockets overtime and lets you reach insane speeds if it rains.

  29. Thomas Young on

    In my 5 year old Minecraft world I use enchanted tridents and firework-loaded crossbows. I don't use regular bows, swords, or axes for combat at all. I don't use regular arrows either, I just use tipped-arrows or fireworks in my crossbows.
    My armor is a turtle shell helmet (minor water breathing buff), my elytra (flight), gold legs (safer Nether travel), leather boots (don't sink in powdered snow). Every piece is fully enchanted with things that maximize affects. Like I have blast protection legs and fire protection leather boots. I call it my super suit.

  30. C Ray Starling on

    You can also rapid fire crossbows quickly, if you set up to 8 double chests to feed into your hotbar, and lay waste to an area with multi-shotted fire charges.And with Piercing, you can use tipped arrows of slowness to affect up to 5 zombified villagers at once, then cure them with a golden apple each (and to possibly recover the arrow). Tipped arrows of healing and harming will also do extra damage to undead and other mobs respectively.

  31. Doc Lee on

    Two hours? Well…all you have to do is set your game to “creative” and bam…you got yourself a trident. You can even get those glowing magic books that make them enhanced. There you go…I just saved you two hours. I got a trident in 2 minutes. Easy. Peasy.

  32. Brad Spires on

    Hey @pixlriffs, looking at the mountain from your front porch, you will see a lone oak tree to the left. Behind it is a cave. It will be worth your while exploring the cave.

  33. Kat Grace on

    I always forget how much harder it is to get a trident on Java until I try it myself and nearly cry after I get one only to remember I need another.

  37. Another JT on

    I still wish that when a baby drowned with a trident dropped their trident, that it would remain a smaller trident, like the one held by the baby drowned.

  38. Another JT on

    Oh, one other comment on the crossbow (without any Unbreaking enchantment), Fireworks and multishot can decrease the durability of a tool much faster. When firing an arrow, 1 durability is used on the crossbow. When firing an arrow with multishot, 3 durability is used. When firing a firework without multishot, 3 durability is used, and when a firework is fired with Multishot, 9 durability is used. Each level of Unbreaking increases the chance that a point of durability is not consumed, like all other items with Unbreaking

  40. Johan Putter on

    Hey Pixl, thanks for all the useful info especially on the crossbow. There was a lot I didnt know, but then again I don't us the crossbow as much as the bow. Thanks and see in the next eps. Cheers
