  • “No one cares about nether quartz” Redstoners: it’s treason then
  • @TJBasham
    "Diamond is not unbreakable". That's why you need Unbreaking III and Mending.
  • @siamese3889
    I love how MatPat spent long on this theory to find out that diamond and netherite have toughness as an attribute
  • Me: dyes bed red My brother: why you doing that Me: its a relic of a more civilized age
  • I love how game theory is using real life chemistry when its just a block game with floating trees
  • "Who would go around wearing something called Wurtzite Boron Nitride Armor?" Modded players: Well you see
  • @8db676
    moral of the story: reject netherite return to iron
  • Diamonds: ”I’m the Toughest material” Netherite: So powerful it makes Diamonds look like cobblestone Steve’s hand: holds Steve’s beer
  • @Boyakishan
    You’re assuming Minecraft is the same world in logic
  • If you could make it in survival Minecraft, you & all your friends would incredibly excited to hear the words "barrier armor", considering that barrier is the hardest block in all of Minecraft
  • @Nugcon
    "People don't care about quartz" Builders: :(
  • @noahlurvink
    “Nobody cares about quartz!” Every redstoner: Are you sure about that?
  • @danteinouye6098
    The hardness vs durability part is actually a really common thing in metallurgy. In WWII, armor steel was tested massively, and it was found that softer, homogenous armor was way better at stopping tank shells than incredibly hard armor, because of the propensity of harder armor to fracture after repeated hits
  • @frostedcrim
    Everyone: "Netherite is better than Diamond" Literally needed diamond tools for netherite tools
