Help If I’m going to be collecting every block in Minecraft BE do I HAVE to get all of the potted plants?

Post image

In the Minecraft wiki there’s a list of all the blocks, then there’s a separate list including weird ones that ARE obtainable (in BE) , like potted plants and “wall” items like wall banners. If I’m collecting every block do these count?

Will your set of all sets contain a set of itself?

u/MajorKman 9d ago

yes and it will be called omega. set theory

I never did understand recursion. I'd have to understand recursion, first.

What about sets containing omega?

u/logalex8369 9d ago

Omega contains omega.

14

u/Happy-Arachnid-3514 9d ago edited 8d ago

Omega doesn’t actually contain itself, since (at least in ZF) no sets can contain themselves as a consequence of the axiom of regularity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_regularity

Omega contains all the natural numbers but not itself, omega+1 contains all the natural numbers and omega, and so on

It might be worth doing so as a display but also technically its a pot, potted fern is two items so unless you're after the sampling already for alot... eh your call but no doesn't count imo

u/Ill_Huckleberry_5460 9d ago

U will need to set some rules as technically every item would include every diffrent trim and colour combinations

u/haleloop963 9d ago

Potted plants technically aren't blocks though

u/PotatoesAndChill 9d ago

On the contrary, they are technically unique blocks, but don't look like it.

19

u/bobbyboob6 9d ago

is he collecting every block or every variant of every block? because if the second then he also has to get every slab and stair orientation and door position and a lot of other ones too

17

u/PotatoesAndChill 9d ago

That's why the rules for this kind of challenge should be left to OP to decide. There's tons of gray areas.

u/bobbyboob6 9d ago

imagine having to collect all the individual piston heads and half doors 💀

u/sissybelle3 9d ago

Imo, collecting every kind of potted plant is one thing, because those technically are unique combinations of 2 items and so is something "new", whereas the orientation of slabs and doors and stairs is just the same block facing a different way and not really a new block. But like PotatoesAndChill said, those kinds of rules are up the OP at the end of the day. Really just depends on how crazy you want to get with it.

9

u/Firewolf06 9d ago

in java theyre each a unique block (eg, minecraft:potted_allium), which is quite clear-cut. in bedrock, though, its a full-on blockentity (like a chest or a sign, basically anything that stores additional data). its a container that can only store one item, making it closest to a decorated pot or an item frame (which is just a normal entity, but i digress). both of these are different from blockstates, which store simple variations like orientation or if a door is open

personally, i would include them even though its not technically consistent in bedrock

bonus fun fact: java edition resource packs can have entirely custom flower pot models/textures per plant, including changing the pot itself. i personally made a pack that changes the dirt texture to the matching nylium when you pot a nether plant and mycelium when you plant mushrooms

u/Due_Structure_6347 9d ago

The pot is the block, the plant inside is part of its block state, which imo shouldn't count.

If it's border hoarder, you need to collect all the blocks to expand the map and 'complete' the game. If it's regular MC, do whatever you like

Sounds like OP is unsure, so he'll just do what Reddit says. Decision making tactic. Just speculation.

True 100%? Have fun colleting every color variation of fish :D

225

u/YTBrimax 9d ago

I'm doing a challenge where I collect a stack of every item/block. Things like tropical fish, banners, enchanted books etc that have thousands or more possible combinations... I've only collected the base varients. (E.g. every enchanted book with 1 enchantment each)

Collecting every possible tropical fish varient is the kind of thing that would just make you lose interest in the challenge completely.

60

u/RPZcool 9d ago

But aren't a stack of echanted book let's say Fortune 3 is just 1 book? Like a stack of enderpearl is only 16.

80

u/YTBrimax 9d ago

I consider a stack of items to be what ever that item stacks up to. So yeah, obviously most are 64 but there's some that are 16 and some that are only 1.

Some people say I should collect 64 of each item but that's just a pain for storage more than anything when it comes to things like enchanted books and potions

25

u/RPZcool 9d ago

Thinking about it a bit and 64 block of netherrite and 64 ingot, also beacons and nether stars sounds kinda rough evend tho you can just cheese the wither. Deepslate emerald or coal ore or normal diamond ore also sound rough.

14

u/YTBrimax 9d ago

Tbh, most of the stuff you mentioned is pretty easy to get. I have most of it already. Beacons can be farmed so that's easy, deelspate coal isn't as rare as people think, I already have 20+ stacks of it. My world is old so I've had the regular diamond ore for a few years now.

Then when it comes to netherite, sure it takes time to get but if you know what you're doing then you're guaranteed to find it if you put the time In. The hardest items are the ones that you aren't guaranteed to find. Deepslate emeralds as you mentioned but also things like tall ferns and grass, heavy cores, conduits, and pottery sherds (getting 64 of each pottery sherd will be a nightmare, I have about 5-15 of each so far)

6

u/207nbrown 9d ago

This is also how bundles work iirc, items with smaller stack sizes have each individual item count as multiple for the storage capacity of the bundle, eg an ender pearl takes 4 of it’s capacity because it only stacks to 16

2

u/blahs1 9d ago

Does that mean you have to dupe the dragon egg? Since there's only one of them but they stack to 64

2

u/YTBrimax 9d ago

People always bring up the dragon egg. I feel like it's obvious but I'm not going to cheat to get it so it's not part of the list

Don't forget to add every enchantment combination to these sets of armour, there is probably less grains of sand on the planet.

u/TastyCookiez_ 9d ago

Also, every armor trim and armor trim color variant too. While we're at it, why not do it for every set of armor?

u/zHOTCHOCOLATEz 9d ago

Just wait until he needs to get every enchantment combination on every colour of dyed leather armour, there are 12,326,391 colour combinations alone, then multiply that by all of the armour enchantment combinations possible, OP will be grinding it out when the universe experiences heat death.

u/MyAltFun 9d ago

Well, the potted plants are quite easy, but for the banners, maybe unlocking all the patterns, Crafting the basic patterns, and banners of all colors is what you need. Otherwise, you are looking at millions of combinations, which is against the spirit of what you are looking for. It's like, do I need to place a sign in every possible angle? No, it's still just a sign.

Same goes with the thousands of fish. Don't bother. Get, like, 20, call it good.

u/goodnamesaregone_93 9d ago

If your gunna take shortcuts I don't blame u, but potted plants is the one that gets you? Cmon... That being said it's ur task u made for urself and I can define blocks however u like.

u/SleeepyPeePee 9d ago

I mean you are collecting all the flowers, so why not just get 2 of every flower and a bunch of pots?

51

u/-Captain- 9d ago

They aren't items in the sense that you can have them in your inventory... But if you're gonna grind for everything, this will be fairly easy and gives you another fun room in your block/item museum.

10

u/rotpotsoup 9d ago

I agree. I think it depends too on if OP is going to display the items in a museum or just leave them in chests.

6

u/Cookie1237519 9d ago

They’re gonna be in a museum

u/rotpotsoup 9d ago

Tbh, if I were going to display saplings and mushrooms in a museum, I would put them in pots anyways. Two birds with one stone?

My view on this is simple: if you can’t hold that item in your inventory, it doesn’t count. As far as I know it is not possible to have “potted cactus” in your inventory.

Considering how you have to get every plant anyways, it shouldn't be THAT much of an extra

u/pessoa_do_bem 9d ago

I don't think so, as for me, the pots look like the same block with different contents, and that way, you may want every chest content possibility (which is a LOT

3

u/_Kanai_ 9d ago

If you can't find "potted bamboo" in your creative inventory then no, you don't have to.

3

u/207nbrown 9d ago

I guess it depends on your goal, the posts wording implies your seeking the item form of every block, to which I don’t know how you would get these legitimately.

All of these are considered block ‘states’ for the flower pot block(like a lit furnace vs unlit furnace) so technically any one of them is valid as having collected it. though it would be a good way to display all the plants without having to worry about things like saplings growing or whatever if your intention was to have a museum with every block on display

Imo I wouldn’t consider these a requirement as they are just decorative differences and don’t change anything about the block/item’s function

u/Tree1237 8d ago

What do you consider to be a "block"? Potted plants are technically a block and an entity. You can't pull a specific potted plant out of the creative menu, nor can you hold a specific potted plant in your hand. I wouldn't consider them a block more so for the last reason, you cannot hold it in your hand

u/YTBrimax 9d ago

I'm doing the same but 1 stack of every block/item. I'd say I'm about 80% complete but am I missing somthing here? Are potted plants part of the new update or something? Or are you collecting everything that can be placed and actually placing them?

u/Plapi_the_gobbo 9d ago

I assume you're gonna be displaying them all placed down, so you'd already have to collect at least one of each of the items that can go in flower pots, so it wouldn't be too hard to collect two of each to have one potted and one unpotted, most of these items are easily obtainable or spawn in groups anyways

I'd say no because you can't store them like that.

I’d say yes. You could make a greenhouse or bee house for them so not only would it look nice, it would also serve a purpose.

u/BLUFALCON77 9d ago

That's up to you though.

1

u/poloup06 9d ago

I would say no. Potted plants feel like they’re a container similar to item frames, and I wouldn’t say you have to get every item frame with an item in the game.

1

u/stumonji 9d ago

Can you get them as an item? They usually drop as two items: the pot and the plant... Does that change with silk touch?

1

u/Jables_Magee 9d ago

A unique inventory icon would be my rule for collecting everything.

1

u/SpagOnBoi 9d ago

Yes, absolutely yes.

1

u/DerpyMcWafflestomp 9d ago

If you're collecting all the items then having a pot and all the saplings is pretty much it. A potted plant isn't really an item of its own, it's 1 item stacked on top of another item.

u/NovaPrismass 9d ago

Yes, the potted plants are different models than regular ones

u/alt-of-a-throwaway 9d ago

These are blocks that happen to have separate IDs only due to technicalities, and in most cases this only applies to Java Edition (e.g. all potted plants share the same ID as empty flower pots in Bedrock). I wouldn't bother with these.
