      @@Spencer-wc6ew HOLD IT!
      You failed to consider having 37 shulker boxes with 27 stacks each. This results in 1,233,964,800 kilograms.
      Then we have Enchanted Apples. They had the crafting recipe of 8 gold blocks plus 1 apple. Apples are about .1 kilograms each. This means that we'd be dealing with 6393.6 kilograms of apple PLUS 9,871,718,400 kilograms of gold. This means Steve would be lifting at least 9,871,724,793.6 kilograms of material at one time, disregarding the mass of the shulker boxes themselves. This is equivalent to about 10,881,714 IMPERIAL TONS of material. For perspective, the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest, Romania, which is one of the heaviest buildings on the Earth if not THE heaviest, is only 4,700,000 imperial tons.

      To be fair, glass is actually a very hard material. It's just that it's incredibly brittle, as well. Obsidian can scratch steel, and retain a much finer edge, but hardness is just resistance to deformation, not necessarily resistance to destruction. Steel can flex, so if it takes enough force to make it deform, it will bend, and, when properly heat-treated, flex back into place. But with glass? If it takes enough force to make it deform, all it can do is shatter.

    First off Steve uses three planks and two sticks. You can layer the wood making a laminate for increased strength on the pick heads not the pick body. Next to bind the shaft to the head, you use the split and wedge method of binding. You stick the shaft through the head and then drive a wedge into the shaft from the other side making a completely tight Bond.

    Louis: talks about not wanting to split the pick
    Also Louis like 30 seconds later: puts what is essentially a stone wedge in the tip of the pick

    steve is the strongest video game character, so he could do it with any pickaxe. he could probably even light a stick by scraping it across the ground with his strength.

    That's one absolute unit of a pickaxe!

    It would’ve probably helped a lot if there was actually a point for the force to focus on instead of just a blunt surface

      The wood pick would only last a few hits before the point is broken or completely flat if he did thay

      Wood picks already don’t last long ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      @@jasonlittle6161 yeah and it would break pretty quick like it does in minecraft. It would still give it a better chance than hammering the rock.

    The thing that puzzles me isn't Steve breaking stone with a wooden pickaxe, but him breaking wood with his fists

    as far as the tools on the crafting table, i will agree with the saw and the pliers. what you say is a hatchet, however, looks more like a mallet to me. this is because of the shape of the head. hatchets i've seen aren't usually that symmetrical in terms of how far both ends protrude from the shaft. a mallet, however, would be that shape. you could say it's a hatchet because it has that same metal color as the saw and pliers, but metal mallets are a thing i'm pretty sure. and if not, then it could also be a shorter sledgehammer, which i remember seeing in a home depot years ago and never again.

    Can't wait for when you make a video on if a stone pickaxe can break iron ore
