Place a block to your right, one over that original block, and to the left of the block below and above. Then, mine down a 2x1 hole and place an obi, then pearl into crawl mode and place blocks to the right and left of you and crystal the bot.
This is the tech I created to no-pop the bot in CPVP Thx to @0FreshBean for making the project. Link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/891026207/
