Skills · tested in a live world
Every skill on this page ran in a real Minecraft 1.21.11 world before it was written down. The times are from those runs.
get me 12 iron
He scans the area, works out which pickaxe the block needs, makes that tool if he does not have it, then mines and picks up the drops. Anything under water is skipped. Add "me" and he walks it over to you.
3 logs by hand: 12 seconds
craft a pickaxe
A planner works backwards through the recipes: pickaxe needs sticks and planks, planks need logs, the recipe needs a table. If the wood is missing he goes and chops it. He picks his crafting table back up when he is done.
Bare hands to a pickaxe: 28 seconds · stone pickaxe: 32 more
smelt the iron
No furnace nearby? He crafts one from cobblestone and puts it down. Then he picks a fuel, loads the ore, waits it out and collects the ingots. The same skill cooks food and turns sand into glass.
Furnace crafted, placed, 3 ingots out: 34 seconds
guard me
Anything hostile that gets within a few blocks of him is dealt with on reflex, whatever else he was doing. "Guard me" makes him follow you and go after mobs near you. "Fight" clears the area. He puts on the best armour he is carrying.
Husk that wandered up: handled in 3.4 seconds · two more on command: 14
harvest
He finds every fully grown wheat, carrot, potato and beetroot in range, harvests it, replants the same spot and gathers what dropped.
8 wheat harvested and replanted: 13 seconds
build a house
Keep scrolling and watch it go up. He counts what the blueprint needs, chops and crafts what is missing, clears the site, places 124 blocks from the footing to the ridge, then removes his own scaffolding and hangs the door.
124 blocks, roof and door: 2 min 36 s on open ground · about 4 min when he has to clear the site
