Farming 10,000,000 Melons in Minecraft

why not go for 100 million

Rare occurrence where the sequel is better than the original LETS GOO

"I'm going to spend day one on beating the game." The guy treats what I didn't manage to do my whole childhood as a minor nuisance. I respect that

You had more dirt block picked than mined because some of the dirt blocks you picked were grass blocks.

The fact that in the process he got a pretty impressive speedrun time is the funniest part to me

The reason you had mined less dirt than you picked up in the statistics menu is that some of your shovels didn't have Silk Touch, meaning that when you mined a grass block it would drop dirt, counting it as having picked up dirt but having mined grass.

“why are there so many mobs?” the lack of torches:

Absolutely awesome content. Gripping and fun. Some thoughts on the farm(s): - Slime farm worked great it seems. Provided enough slime with minimal effort. I dont think a slime chunk farm wouldve been better due to excavation time. - Iron farms could have been more robust i think. Thats hindsight after seeing rates and needed materials tho. - As pointed out elsewhere, i think spawn proofing the melon farm would be a good idea in any future tries. I would consider leaves or slabs for this task. The slabs may require reworking the farm. Or use buttons (not sure if minecarts are bothered by them). - Human-hoppering is easier with as empty an inventory as possible. - Other melon farm designs may be more suitable, but they may require resources that are outside the scope of this challenge. - Building a manual melon farm above or below to manually farm while staying around to keep it all in render distance.

Watching him turn his game to peaceful on 16:02 hurt so bad because I knew the zombies in the iron farms would despawn and it took him ages to realise.

Yet in his dismay, he hadn’t realized he mined 3.9mil. 2.9mil more than his previous goal with the same timeframe. True dedication

"To beat the final boss in the most popular game in the world with a couple of mattresses" I'm telling you,someone who's never heard of Minecraft couldn't make this up.

So we get a third melon video. Excellent. They get better each time.

Hey, this might not be helpful, but I noticed that you had to count all of the melons by hand. The 'carpet' mod for fabric by mojang employee 'Gnembon' has a feature that allows you to count large numbers of items for farms. Not only would it show how many melons you've farmed, it would also show you the average amount of melons produced per hour, allowing you to figure out how much longer it would've taken to meet your goal if you fail. Love the video, great concept! :D

I think the reason you mined 43,000 dirt and picked up 55,000 at the 13:00 mark is because grassy dirt is counted as a different block than dirt when broken, but when broken without silk touch, it drops dirt

you are probably the most determined and levelheaded person ive ever even heard of

the sequel we never knew we needed but always did 😆

rekrap is the technoblade of melons, trying to find the most efficient way to not only farm them but also everything that leads up to them

You did it, lets go!

That's a dated slime farm design btw. In 1.18+ you can block all non-slime spawns by making the light level >0 but <7, such as by using redstone torches or glow lichen (easier since they're light level 7, but will lead to slower slime spawns) or by covering the entire spawning platform with brown mushrooms. This is both easier to set up than the old swamp slime farm design, and also leads to much better rates.
