idk how this isn't common knowledge but if you mine 9 clay and the 4 clay in the stonecutter house, (so 13 clay if you make the stonecutter) you can buy chiseled stone bricks from a mason at level 2.

If this is common knowledge then this is embarrassing but I have never seen someone do it in draft out and I have seen a lot of people smelt the 8 stone in a village with a stonecutter available

This can be really good if there is an easy access lake near the village where you can get 52 or 36 clay balls very easily

this works with 10 clay to buy 20 bricks + 8 chiseled stone bricks as well

GracefulBeauty2 months ago

instead of 13 clay

JocurlOP2 months ago

damn genuis

JocurlOP2 months ago

that is probably easier

JocurlOP2 months ago

10 clay blocks right?

GracefulBeauty2 months ago

yes

GracefulBeauty2 months ago(edited)

the tradeoff is basically whether you want to mine 3 more clay for 3 bonus emeralds (but no brick trade, unless you want to ig)

GracefulBeauty2 months ago

can use the 3 emeralds to buy a bucket or w/e so it can still be better depending on the board

omg

JocurlOP2 months ago

this is incredible

Ｂｒｅａｄ2 months ago

can we extend this to trade for quartz or is that too much

JocurlOP2 months ago

i already look into it

JocurlOP2 months ago

i played a game just earlier where i traded like 3 stacks of clay balls and had 11 ems from hay and i won the goal with op in nether

xstevey2 months ago

Finally i can get quartz without entering nether

xstevey2 months ago

nakedhippo2195872 months ago

wdym how

nakedhippo2195872 months ago(edited)

trading villager to master
no way you are going to do that before entering nether

Loven2 months ago

ehm

Loven2 months ago(edited)

my villagers arent showing quartz trade on master (nvm i dont know u have to manual scroll the bar)

Loven2 months ago

expert is easy tbh

Loven2 months ago

master u need more eme

Loven2 months ago

even master is doable if u cant find an enter its worth prob

xstevey2 months ago

give me 2 days ill show you a 15 minute master mason pre opp entering nether

xstevey2 months ago

bros never traded before?

Loven2 months ago

I just did it in a singleplayer

Loven2 months ago

its not THAAAT bad but its def a time investment

Loven2 months ago

If u need to overlap stuff/smelting in village and u have wheat trades + river

Loven2 months ago

I swear i could scroll b4 or it all fit in my screen or sumn

JocurlOP2 months ago

btw its a 14% chance that u cant level him up with emeralds

JocurlOP2 months ago

i really dont think quartz will be viable unless yk ur op is holding it

Threadfinn2 months ago

Chiseled stone definitely has situations where it's worth

Threadfinn2 months ago

I feel like quartz is so rare to have it be worth the time investment to try and snipe it

Threadfinn2 months ago

50 clay + 23 emeralds with a 14% chance of failure to get quartz

Threadfinn2 months ago

Even if you already went tc it's probably more worth focusing something else

DriftSythe2 months ago

if that’s the only nether goal and you already have the emeralds from tc there’s like no reason not to go for it

nakedhippo2195872 months ago

you promised.....
its been past 2 days...

xstevey2 months ago

my pea brain randomly remembered yesterday on my way to tc, i forgot 2 seconds after the thought popped into my head

xstevey2 months ago

give me 2 more 2 more days (not a typo)

Loven2 months ago

i got it today @14min

Loven2 months ago

did lose tho :p

Slipstream2 months ago

am i reading this wrong? isnt it only a 6% chance to actually get quartz?

Slipstream2 months ago

or do you just go master, but then youre guaranteed so the failure rate makes no sense

maskers2 months ago

theres two expert trades, and the 6% is for one of these trades to be quartz
the thing that splits the 7th trade and the 8th trade only applies to bedrock

maskers2 months ago

also that's selling quartz
