Awesome Minecraft Strategy Allows Players To Quickly Chop Down Big Trees

gamerant.com:

Minecraft has redefined the sandbox game genre since 2009, and 13 years later fans are still building impressive blocky creations thanks to its almost limitless design. Despite the new features being added to Minecraft in updates, players are still finding useful exploration tips to improve the overall experience for new and veteran gamers.

One of the most common items is wood, which is useful for building elaborate contraptions and designer houses in Minecraft, but chopping down big trees is often tedious and can be risky. However, one player's exploits make good use of a special item to speed up the process while minimizing risk from fall damage or other unfortunate problems.

Wood comes in many varieties depending on which Minecraft biome it grows in, and experienced players likely know how to «farm» wood by continuously re-growing saplings. Reddit user u/bl00pyy goes one step further by posting a video that shows how the Ender Pearl's teleport ability can be exploited. This strategy makes reaching the top of big trees surprisingly easy, ready for chopping into useable blocks with the addition of an enchanted diamond axe.

Players attempting to emulate this awesome strategy will need the following items in their inventory: 4 tree saplings, at least one Ender Pearl, and a sufficient stack of bone meal. Using bone meal on an oak sapling that isn't in a group of four wastes the bone meal with no growth effect. It is recommended to do so in a spacious area and close to a respawn point (i.e: bed), because the speed and precision needed to pull off this trick will likely require a few practice runs.
