I currently have about 1.7 million bedrock stored in these chests!

So basically, I've been getting into texturing and I found that you can make a really REALLY good weathering/stain effect in a deepslate wall with deepslate copper ore as the center of the stain. However, to make it actually work, you pretty much *need* bedrock as part of the gradient. Bedrock is the best block to transition from deepslate copper ore to pretty much anything else.

So I did the only rational thing, and I obtained bedrock in my hardcore world. This world is 1.21.5, so I made a backup, flew 20,000 block away and downgraded a 1.9 snapshot, 15w44b. This snapshot has a bug where you can (sometimes) get bedrock to drop by interrupting the ender dragon respawn animation immediately after starting it. It's finicky, because sometimes it can fall into the portal, which sends it to spawn chunks, and you *definitely* do not want to jump through and load too many chunks around spawn or cleaning up your region files gets messy and annoying.

So basically, I just got to experience the nostalgia of a brief 1.9 playthrough (though as far as I am concerned, anything post 1.7.10 is "new"), and got bedrock. Updated the world back to 1.21.5, fixed my spawn region files, and walked back across the nether roof to my portal. Started duping the bedrock using the task manager dupe glitch, with which you can dupe 27 full shulker boxes at once.

To be clear, I'm *only* duping the bedrock. I have a shulker farm, so I AFKed there, made, and instantly deleted 972 shulkers to account/explain/pay for the duped shulkers.

Now it's time to stain some castle walls!
