I'm really bad with this in games. I even hoarded iron back when I still played Minecraft simply because it was a resource I couldn't infinitely produce.
Cobblestone generator = use only cobblestone tools
- there are iron farms though...
  
  Minecraft existed for a long time before iron golems were added
  
  SMH damn kids don't even know about the before times when leaves didn't despawn on their own and minecraft cost less than $10
  
  I'm a proud 10€ alpha version buyer. There was no hunger bar nack then and mushroom stew was the shit.
  It's a shame Notch completely detached from his creation, tho.
  
  He detached from reality not too much later in so it's probably for the best.
  
  It's not a shame, Notch completely detached himself from reality.
  
  Didn't he drop a hard R while saying that only white people should vote? I am as anti-cancel cultures the next rational person, but you deserve to be detached from more than just a video game if you pull that in a public forum.
  
  AFAIK, Notch got burntout with the project because it got too big and aside of that he had some PR fuckups.
  
  Remember Herobrine and all the love songs for him right at the beginning of beta?
  Automatic Villager-Farm remembers.
  
  And food did not stack in the inventory.
  
  No damage in multiplayer hahaha
  
  My kids and I have played for a decade plus on MC with an initial investment of exactly $10.
  We do buy coins about once a year to support the game and its updates.
- Lol I still do this cobblestone tools are free iron just doesn't feel consistent enough. Though I am trying a new mining strategy we will see if that improves it.
  
  Get a tool smith and buy tools. Emeralds are super easy to get in bulk with master fisherman and fletchers. Selling sweet berries to butchers is another great source.
  
  Or sell iron from an iron farm or melons and pumpkins from one of those farms. Trade with librarians for mending books, never break a netherite item again!
  
  WHAT IS ANY OF THIS (haven’t played since beta)
  
  Villagers are human like mobs you trade with. Emeralds are used as a currency. Most fletchers buy sticks from you. The more you do business with a villager, the more trade options they have. High level fisherman buy a boat (5 wooden planks) for one emeralds.
  Tool smiths start selling high quality enchanted iron and diamond tools once they are mid level. Enchantments do things like increase durability (unbreaking), improve speed (efficiency), and many other upgrades. Once you have a tool smith that sells say diamond axes, anything else is pointless to keep beyond an emergency backup. Cost isn't a factor because the aforementioned selling of sticks and boats mean emeralds are a cheap and renewable resource.
  
  Thank you! I could have looked it up but that’s a lot to look up. The game sounds quite different than when I played, jeez!
  
  I don’t want to tell you how to play your game, but I will say that diamond is well worth the effort, even if you don’t want to get it the easy way with villagers. The amount of time you will save using diamond will more than make up for the time spent mining, and make you resent all the time you’ve wasted using stone. Just dig a tunnel down to y -59 and strip mine, you never need to see a mob or get lost in a cave if you don’t want to. A normal level 30 enchant with efficiency 4 and unbreaking 3 will last a very long time, and can be repaired infinitely if you get mending on it.
  I would compare it to something like drinking instant coffee all the time and finally tasting a properly brewed, high quality coffee. Or only buying cheap shoes all the time and then investing in a proper pair of very comfortable and well made ones. Or playing video games on a 5 year old hand me down Mac then upgrading to a decent gaming pc.
