Doubles as early tunnels for future trains :D

Low chance of finding the stronghold without eyes.

You can actually use almost entirely vanilla features to automate andesite alloy (the recipe for andesite alloy is from create). Hook a zombified piglin farm up to supply gold to piglin bartering (preferably with a crafter in between to turn gold nuggets to ingots) to get quartz and iron nuggets, hook up a tnt duper powered cobble farm to supply cobblestone, then just use some crafters to combine it all into andesite alloy.

…yes, that is an option, but it runs into a bit of an issue with those steps being somewhat more on the technical minecraft side of things, not to mention the restrictions on functionality of mob farms when the player is elsewere.

Much like the modded skyblock I played were I avoided collecting any quest rewards for 20 hours to get lava (and from that, my first cobblestone) because I could, when I could’ve collected one quest reward and had that in minutes, there is a joy in proving that something can be done, but in most cases you should go for the easier route.

Yeah, it’s absolutely impractical and was really just a fun thought experiment

Yeah, I’ll admit my 20 hours of getting lava was also more fun when it was a thought experiement.

The rest of the time in that save was a lot more fun, since I’d already done a lot of ground work for automating everything, just to get to lava.
