why not go for 100 million

Yet in his dismay, he hadn’t realized he mined 3.9mil. 2.9mil more than his previous goal with the same timeframe. True dedication

So we get a third melon video. Excellent. They get better each time.

you can hear the joy in rekrap's voice when he finds out he got ten million melons.

The reason why it showed different numbers for dirt mine and picked up is cause grass block don't count as dirt blocks mined, but if mined with regular shovel (no silk touch) the drop as dirt.

It's impressive how far melon harvesting tech has come

Rare occurrence where the sequel is better than the original LETS GOO

the ending made it so much better. cinematic masterpiece. any other outcome and it wouldn't have been as funny. love it

I would look into the zombie-less iron farm by Phaestus the next time you plan on doing this challenge (or future challenges where hostiles are not the focus). It only works during the daytime but you can offset that by making more of these farms. Very simple and relatively painless (moving villagers >:V) Great video!

Watching him turn his game to peaceful on 16:02 hurt so bad because I knew the zombies in the iron farms would despawn and it took him ages to realise.

Honestly really impressive! I think if you got some of your friends together (or even just one friend) and did this you could really stand a good chance of completing it. Having someone collect dirt, iron and slime while you focus more of your attention on actually building the farm could certainly help. Not to mention not having to worry about getting more gear all the time

can't wait for more of this, you should make a series out of this. it's so cosy and satisfying to watch you play

the sequel we never knew we needed but always did 😆

I would love to see this done in multiplayer with an even higher goal. But who could you possibly convince to grind melons with yo

It's crazy to see someone be so stressed about planting melons fast enough

The amount of dedication you have is incredible, wlel done!

rekrap's speedrunning obsession was all just so that he could farm melons quicker, what a madlad.

I respect rekrap because he puts so much effort for the videos for us. He is so dedicated and never gives up. Just subscribe to him because he deserves like more than like 10 million subs for his efforts. I feel bad :(

13:16 Actually its because you mine grass too, and grass drops dirt. The grass you break is added to the total picked up amount of dirt, but not broken because it doesn't count as dirt.

Id love to see how this concept could go if it was a few people and manual farming. A few people with a bunch of space, seeds, and silk touch axes. The silk touch would harvest whole melons which take up way less space than the slices. Idk if you could get to ten mil but this might be different

i see the title i remember that one youtuber used to do this but with potato he was so dedicated to beat the number one spot that time no matter the obstacles he has and was a succes i will remember that guy forever . thank you for letting me or some of us remember this story and you are making a such good content thanks rekrap

Must say, you really did get your redemption. As much I was tilted from your inefficience from the first try, I clapped my hands and nodded to your great master piece now

Your determination is actually crazy bro. Keep it up :D

rekrap is the technoblade of melons, trying to find the most efficient way to not only farm them but also everything that leads up to them

we respect your content so much and your determination to upload! 😀

I feel like spending some time to get light source blocks to light up the tracks that the hopper mine carts run on would have made this much easier for you. To prevent mobs like enderman & creepers from spawning on your platforms and messing with the operations of the farm. Regardless, you still almost QUADRUPLED YOUR PREVIOUS GOAL WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE

Bro I love this dude's motivation and perseverance. He also gives like, more Minecraft knowledge than an average Minecraft video

Recommendation, maybe bring the layers a bit higher so you can place light sources (for example lanterns or shrrom lights) on the higher roof so the flying machines won't hit them it might not mess up melon rates, and it gets rid of jobs (Mostly?)

Maybe there's a way to reach the mob cap near the melon farm so that you won't have to deal with the mobs being in the farm all the time, although the iron farm could be slower. (I don't know how that would work.)

Hey, this might not be helpful, but I noticed that you had to count all of the melons by hand. The 'carpet' mod for fabric by mojang employee 'Gnembon' has a feature that allows you to count large numbers of items for farms. Not only would it show how many melons you've farmed, it would also show you the average amount of melons produced per hour, allowing you to figure out how much longer it would've taken to meet your goal if you fail. Love the video, great concept! :D

I love this kind of speedrun challenge its so creative! would love to see it in multiplayer

The fact you did this after such a close loss the last time is insane!!! Massive respect, GG!

you could set the "wheel down" to "right click" instead of butterfly clicking because its way faster if you can turn off the resistance in your mouse wheel

Thanks to you I gave myself a ridiculous project. I have been working on it for quite a while now. I decided to make a 100x100 melon block from the top of bedrock to the build limit. In 1.18.2. Thank you for giving me something to focus on.

you should do this again but to make it more possible you should start with a double chest full of hoppers

wow, that was incredible. honestly cant believe you managed to farm 11 million! fantastic and unbelievable video!!!

i was so disappointed last time when he got so close but failed, so its surprising that he actually managed to get 10 times the amount he was going for.

After all this time…he FINALLY did it. Well done man. I still can’t believe you actually pulled it off XD

that was impressive. anyhow, waiting for a video where you spend a whole weekend just chilling in Minecraft

nicely done mate, waiting for episode 3

Maybe you could try using chunk loaders so that you could easily have multiple farms running at once?

Did not know rekrap was a certified speedrunner.

Let’s make Meloniare% an official speedrun category!

I love how he fails at 1m and then goes straight for 10m

Also watching a hopper mechanics tutorial would have helped soooo much

Rek, you can make a lag machine sort of to slow the time down and farm more melons, but there is some issues

I can't believe how you modified the farm last minute to reach 10 million and 1 melons. Truly one of the top 10 moments of all time

"A failure"?! Screw you xD This gameplay is literally insane! The amount of work and dedication put into this project is admirable! 10 million was indeed a bit too much for 100 days, but c'mon! 3.9 million melons is quite an achievement D:

bro did it too perfectly, and the extra millions of melons were just too good.

Speedrun skills and mindset+10x the difficulty.. what a legend.

If he tries, Rekrap will get the any% WR! I believe in you man!

You must already be considering this i think you'll need to add a Lil more layers to get light source or add pumpkin on the melon growing layers

If you ever redo this challenge, finding a mooshroom island to build the farm on maybe worth it so the mob dont break the farm

Wow man, you got me so invested in it. FENOMANAL story telling and amazing video editing. Hope you make more good content like this

You need to make a trilogy this was insane

We need to appreciate that he beaten the game in day 1 because he wanted to save time

You could potentially light netherrack on fire in the spaces between strips as a cheap light source to keep mobs away.

I love rek using his insane speedrunning skills for MELONS

Just for next time rek, remember to make your farms and machines robust - because spending a lot of time error-proofing your farm is much better than fixing and repairing it every 5 minutes

Wow. Serious respect for you, Rekrap. My goodness, the emotional journey that end must have led you through! Wow. Even though you didn't make it, goodness gracious, respect to you, man.

I wish i was this passionate about anything as this guy is passionate about melons

legends say hes still farming melons to this day

I've never seen more melons in minecraft, this is insane

The discrepancy with mined dirt vs picked up dirt is because you were mining grass too, and the grass drops dirt without silk touch

hey Rek, next time you try to get elytra turn on pie chart to item frames to fine the end ship faster. :D

hi! just a suggestion that might come in handy if u ever want to to a similar project again, to stop mob from spawning without going in peaceful you can just create a mob switch. Hope it was helpful and really, great video man, your dedication is insane

idk if people realized but the end city edit at 1:33 looks so awesome and i know it took a lot of time to do.

Might i suggest alleys if you try again? They are quite nice for collecting large amounts of items manually. They pick up while you break. For example, you good do the fastest dirt breaking while they go behind you. Just dont use too many at once, they'll throw at each other instead of you.

13:16 The reason why you pick up more dirt than you break is because the extra dirt comes from grass blocks, which count as a different category

I was very doubtful that he would make it, but quite a heroic ending, maybe you should try go for more melons and make it harder? I don't know but you put a lot of hard work in this video..

A semi-automatic tree farm with tnt duping (if you allow glitches) might help! EDIT 2: You can spawnproof the farm (in 1.19) with 378 glowstone. Math at bottom. EDIT: I think trading for glowstone and redstone, (later lapis, xp bottles) from clerics could efficiently solve your iron, redstone, and mobs-destroying-things-and-dislocating-hopper-minecart-if-you-don't-turn-off-iron-farm problems (maybe also xp/lapis) by lighting up the farm (make it high enough up that mobs don't wander into it). Math estimate: Naively 60,000/(15*Pi^2) = 85 glowstone blocks to light up all the dirt. Assuming it's actually ~4 times that because of spacing problems and melon taxicab light blockage, but subtracting some since a block in the floor can help illuminate two layers, you need ~340 glowstone. Each farmer(sell them melons for emeralds)-cured cleric pair gives 24 glowstone/day, and you can easily make 3 with the six iron farm villagers, for ~72 glowstone (and a bunch of xp) per day. Set them and the iron farms up before your dirt shoveling, and even if you use fast method to get only ~60,000/(7000 dirt/day) = ~8.6 days of dirt shoveling, you still get 576 glowstone before you even start building! In practice, you'll probably do most of the trading while building the farm, only needing as much glowstone as needed to build the next section, since by then you'll have many melons to feed the farmers. But the excess emeralds can go to purchasing redstone, lapis, and xp bottles from the clerics---since you can get up to 48 redstone/cleric/day if you have the emeralds for it, and get some at the start of levelling, I think this solves your redstone problems, your iron problems, AND your mob problems (and maybe your need to return to the end for enchanting xp), which could very well make this worthwhile. (Make sure to practice infecting/curing villagers first though, it takes some skill to do cleanly). EDIT 2 math: This works only if you have 3 air blocks in between each layer (haven't worked it out for 4+ air between layers, but at most it requires twice as much glowstone). I saw 7 open "slots" in each farm layer, so it has 8 11-wide rows per layer and 4 layers. Since you need 60,000 dirt, 600000/11/8/4 = 170.45; divide by 9-long sections per water block for 18.9something water blocks per row. Round up to 19. To visualize the places the glowstone goes, go down the empty slot between each 11-wide row, and place a glowstone in the formerly-air-block-in-the-slot every time you have a farm water block to directly off to your right or left. Do the same with the two equivalent "slots" parallel to the 11-wide rows on either side of the farm; similarly extend the pattern 1 more glowstone block forward on the front and back of the farm. This takes (19+2)*(7+2)*4 = 756 glowstone. Now, destroy every other glowstone, making sure to stagger the destruction between each layer and row--leaving 378 glowstone. That's where you'd actually place the glowstone. I tested this in creative with worldedit, it works even when every melon-eligible slot is occupied by a melon. The same positioning works with torches, actually. 95 coal and 95 sticks might be faster to obtain on its own (especially if you pick up a fortune 3 pick), but I'm not sure it's faster overall considering you'd have to actively mine it. You can test that one :) Also, congrats on answering the question from the first video in the affirmative--it IS possible!

Fun fact: if you rebind your mouse button to a keyboard key and hold it down, you can place blocks at an incredibly fast speed.

I love the fact that rekrap made a normally ‘boring’ topic (farming melons) into a very interesting video XD

The reason you picked up more dirt than mined is because the grass blocks are mined as grass but drop dirt.

I think it says you've picked up more dirt than mined it because it counts dirt and grass blocks separately, but grass blocks drop dirt

the 'mining' and 'picking up' dirt numbers are going to be way different because many of the grass blocks count as grass blocks (not dirt) mined, but get picked up as dirt blocks.

The effort and dedication rek puts in these videos is just crazy!

nice! just wanted to say, if you ever do this again, you could have made an extra eye of ender and then dumped stuff in the echests at the beginning

Im pretty sure the dirt discrepancy comes from the fact that the grass blocks you mine drop as dirt and count as dirt when picked up. Since you arent using a silktouch shovel

I got a tip for you rek. If you harvest a melon with fortune it gives you more melon drops, it might come in handy. Good luck

Rekrap added the "We need more wood" part two times.

Good job! You made it to the bottom of the mind control facility.

rest in piece freddy. I'm so glad you were able to get this goal, the amount of dedication was incredible rek.

If you made the farm slightly taller could you put some sort of light source on the ceilings to prevent spawning? Like glow lichen or glow berries?

cant believe you hit 2x the amount you needed, this needs an award man!

you probably won't see this, but the reason you were picking up more dirt than you were mining is because you were mining grass without silk touch. it drops dirt, but doesn't count as mining dirt in the stats.

the joy in your voice gave me goosebumps, i got so happy for you. and then...

Man, great job getting 10,000,000 melons! I can't believe you did it!

13:11 it's because you are also mining grass blocks, but seeing as not all of your shovels have silk touch, you are picking up dirt blocks instead of grass blocks.

This guy is literally the most careful Minecraft player of all time

12:48 seeing the dropped dirt blocks doing the jiggy in the sped-up gameplay for those few seconds is beautiful

this feels like an all achivement run

The reason you picked up more dirt than you mined is that when you mine grass blocks, they turn into dirt. However, it counts them as mining grass blocks.

first 1 million, now he is going further like a legend by multiplying the original goal by 10

now that rekrap has learned how to butterfly, i would like to see him do 1.8 pvp

And if you put it all in a composter you’ll get a whopping 3 bone meal.

I looked it up, and apparently time doesn't pass for your character until you go back into the overworked. So you can probably just farm the melons in the end, and get all the melons in 2 days.

The three wide tall method also helps because mining dirt is slightly faster than mining grass

You could also key bind right klick onto key. Just put it on "B" or whatever and then you also should be able to spam blocks

I feel like rek is going to go for 100 million in 200 days
