# 99 Minecraft Secrets You Didn't Know! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qTn7Cq-11c Translation: zh-CN [00:00] Did you know Minecraft once had a [00:01] circle-shaped sun? Or that you could [00:03] trigger Ravager into damaging itself? [00:05] These are the greatest Minecraft facts [00:07] you didn't know. If you grab a few [00:09] sulfur cubes, put different colored [00:11] blocks inside them and put leads on [00:12] them. You can turn them into balloons. [00:14] Just give them all the levitation [00:16] effect, and they'll float up into the [00:18] air, creating a bunch of colorful [00:19] balloons in Minecraft. Ever wanted to [00:21] place any block inside a flower pot? It [00:23] actually used to [music] be possible in [00:25] the 1.8 snapshot 14w1B. [00:28] There was a glitch that let you put [00:29] almost any block into a pot. [music] So [00:32] things like rose bushes, which normally [00:33] don't fit, could suddenly be placed [00:35] inside like normal. It didn't last long, [00:37] but for a short time, flower pots could [00:39] hold way more than they were ever meant [00:41] to. Did you know farmland actually [00:43] [music] has eight different moisture [00:44] levels? In vanilla, they all look the [00:46] same. You only see a texture change when [00:48] it goes from fully dry to fully wet. But [00:50] with this resource pack, you can see [00:52] every single stage of moisture. And it's [00:54] actually really cool watching [music] [00:55] the farmland slowly change as it [00:57] hydrates. If you sprint jump before [00:59] throwing a splash potion, your momentum [01:01] actually carries over and makes the [01:03] potion travel farther. You can take this [01:05] even further. Using a lunge spear, you [01:07] can throw a potion around 30 blocks. And [01:09] with a riptide trident, you can launch a [01:11] potion over 100 [music] blocks, which is [01:13] insane. The solver cube gets knocked [01:15] back further the more damage you deal to [01:17] it. So something cool you can do is run [01:19] the tick freeze [music] command to stop [01:20] time and just keep hitting the cube. [01:22] It'll absorb all the damage you deal to [01:24] it when you tick and freeze. The cube [01:26] will get sent shot into space. Leaf [01:28] litter is one of the best early game [01:29] fuels in Minecraft, but almost nobody [01:31] uses it. You only need two pieces to [01:33] smelt an item, which is [music] insanely [01:35] efficient for something that's so easy [01:37] to collect. For how cheap and common it [01:39] is, it almost feels a little [01:40] overpowered. When a goat lowers its [01:42] head, it's about to charge at you. But [01:44] you can actually cancel the charge. [01:46] Goats are programmed to follow players [01:47] holding wheat. So, if you pull out wheat [01:49] right as it starts charging, it will get [01:51] confused and slowly walk toward you [01:53] instead. But be careful. The moment you [01:55] put the wheat away, the goat instantly [01:57] remembers what it was doing and [01:59] continues to charge. Okay, this is [02:01] actually ridiculous. You can craft a [02:03] diamond shovel with just one diamond. [02:05] But when it gets low on durability, [02:07] repairing it can cost up to four [02:09] diamonds. I get that you're saving your [02:10] enchants by repairing it, but it still [02:12] feels like a complete scam. When your [02:14] pet dies in Minecraft, only you see the [02:17] death message. [music] No one else gets [02:18] notified. And you can actually use this [02:20] as a security system. If someone enters [02:22] your base, you can trigger a trap that [02:24] kills your pet. That death message [02:26] becomes an instant alert as someone's [02:27] inside your base. I KNEW YOU WERE TAKING [02:29] MY DIAMONDS. IF YOU DROP A SULFUR cube [02:31] into a massive Coca-Cola bottle, a [02:33] geyser will eventually send it bursting [02:36] through the sky. This is meant to look [02:37] like the popular Coke Mentos [music] [02:39] challenge where the Mentos causes the [02:41] drink to explode upwards. This is one of [02:43] the most underrated mechanics in [02:45] Minecraft. When bees pollinate flowers, [02:47] they carry nectar on their bodies. And [02:48] if they fly over your crops, they'll [02:50] actually speed up growth, acting like [02:52] bone meal. So, if you find bees with [02:54] nectar, you can leash them and drag them [02:56] over your farm to boost your crops. Each [02:58] bee can fertilize plants up to 10 times [03:00] before it needs to pollinate again. By [03:02] building a twob block tall ceiling and [03:04] placing boats around the edges, you can [03:06] make one of the simplest Enderman farms. [03:08] Enderman will charge at you, but they'll [03:10] get caught in the boats instead. Since [03:11] they're too tall under the ceiling, they [03:13] end up suffocating and dying [03:15] automatically. Chorus fruits do not work [03:17] here. The chorus fruit is one of the [03:19] best escape items in Minecraft since you [03:21] can eat one to teleport out of traps. [03:23] But there's one place where it [03:24] completely fails. The Nether roof. [03:27] Chorus fruit won't on the Nether roof [03:28] because Mojang prevents players from [03:30] using it to reach the roof from below. [03:32] So, the Nether roof is one of the best [03:34] places to trap someone up there. They [03:36] can't use chorus fruit to escape. If you [03:38] place water at the bottom of your base, [03:39] anyone can just follow you down. [03:41] Instead, use powdered snow. Players fall [03:43] straight through it, unless they're [03:45] wearing leather boots. [music] But [03:46] carrying those around just to enter your [03:47] base is super annoying. But you don't [03:50] actually need them. If you hold the jump [03:52] button as you land in the powdered snow, [03:54] you'll bounce slightly and be able to [03:55] enter the base. So, you can get in [03:57] easily while everyone else falls [03:59] straight through. This makes no sense. [04:01] When a drowned throws a trident at you, [04:03] it leaves one behind that you can't even [04:05] pick up. But somehow the drowned just [04:07] keeps throwing more like it has an [04:08] infinite supply. However, if you give a [04:10] drowned a loyalty trident, it actually [04:12] comes back to them. And honestly, that [04:14] just makes way more sense and looks a [04:16] lot cooler, too. Using the attribute [04:18] command, you can actually control how [04:19] bouncy the player is. Crank it up and [04:21] you'll start ricocheting off the floor [04:23] and walls like a bouncy ball. You can [04:24] also remove air resistance entirely, [04:27] letting you travel through the air [04:28] without slowing down. Combine both and [04:30] you'll be zipping and bouncing around at [04:31] fast speeds, basically turning into a [04:33] sulfur cube. You probably know that if [04:35] you steer a boat into lily pads, it just [04:37] breaks right through them. But here's [04:39] something way more satisfying. If you [04:41] leash a bunch of boats together, you can [04:43] drag them all at once and just plow [04:45] through an entire patch of lily pads. It [04:47] basically turns into a lily pad mowing [04:49] simulator in Minecraft. Have you ever [04:51] wondered why mushrooms generate on the [04:53] Nether roof? It's just bedrock up there, [04:55] and the only way to reach it is with [04:56] glitches. The reason is actually simple. [04:58] Mushrooms can generate anywhere in the [05:00] Nether. They just need a low light level [05:02] and the Nether roof [music] happens to [05:03] be dark enough for them to spawn and [05:05] grow. So, even though players aren't [05:07] supposed to be up there, the game still [05:08] treats it like a valid place for [05:10] mushrooms. Take a look at this mushroom [05:12] stew. Notice anything strange? If you [05:14] place it next to a villager, the color [05:15] of the stew almost perfectly matches the [05:17] villager's skin tone. Have we been [05:19] eating villager stew this whole time? [05:21] Did you know happy guests have a secret [05:22] healing mechanic? [music] Normally, they [05:24] generate half a heart every 30 seconds, [05:27] but you can massively speed this up just [05:29] by changing where you fly. If you [05:31] position your happy gast at the exact [05:32] [music] height where clouds are, it gets [05:34] a massive boost, regenerating 30 times [05:37] faster at one full HP [music] per [05:38] second. And there's another way to [05:40] trigger it. If it's raining or snowing [05:42] while the ghast is flying, it gets the [05:44] same boosted regeneration. This is ghost [05:47] rain. [music] If you build a ceiling out [05:48] of powdered snow, the rain actually [05:50] falls right through it. But don't be [05:52] fooled, it's completely fake. Stand [05:54] underneath [music] and you'll instantly [05:55] realize none of the normal weather [05:56] mechanics actually work. Cauldrons [05:58] [music] won't fill. fires won't go out [06:00] and your Riptide Trident won't activate. [06:03] Even though you can see the rain, none [06:05] of it is actually passing through the [06:06] powdered snow. Every time you open [06:08] Minecraft, there's a 1 in 10,000 chance [06:10] that the title screen will say [music] [06:12] Miraft instead of Minecraft. It's such a [06:14] small detail that most people don't even [06:16] notice it, which means you've probably [06:18] had this rare title screen before and [06:19] just clicked past it without realizing. [06:21] Did you know that you can make a ravager [06:23] attack and kill itself? [snorts] During [06:25] raids, some illers spawn with banners, [06:27] making them a raid [music] captain. [06:28] These captains tell nearby raiders what [06:30] to attack. But here's where it gets [06:32] weird. Vindicators can also become raid [06:34] captains. [music] And if you name one [06:36] Johnny, it starts attacking almost every [06:38] mob in the game. That behavior gets [06:40] passed on. A Johnny raid [music] captain [06:42] commands nearby raiders to attack [06:43] everything, too. But ravagers aren't [06:45] considered illers, so they become [06:47] targets. And since they're part of the [06:49] raid, they follow the command as well, [06:50] which means the ravager gets told to [06:52] attack itself and actually does. Cactus [06:54] flowers are secretly a death trap for [06:56] your Minecraft bees. If a hive generates [06:58] near a desert, the bees [music] will [07:00] pacify to the cactus flowers to [07:02] pollinate just like they would any other [07:03] plant. But since those flowers are close [07:06] to the cactus, the bees can get [07:07] pricricked by the spikes and die. Modern [07:09] pro players use the thorns enchantment. [07:11] At first, it seems overpowered since it [07:13] damages anyone who hits you. But it has [07:15] a major downside. Every time thorns [07:18] activates, it takes extra two durability [07:20] from your armor. So in a long fight, [07:22] your armor wears down much faster and [07:24] can break before your opponents. Most [07:25] crops have a limit to how much you can [07:27] bone meal them, but some plants can grow [07:29] almost forever. Things like big drip [07:31] leaves and twisted vines can be bone [07:33] meal upward all the way to the world [07:35] height limit. And it works the other [07:36] way, too. Glowberries, weeping vines, [07:39] and regular vines can grow downward [07:41] indefinitely until they hit a block. So, [07:43] unlike normal crops, these plants [07:45] basically have no real growth limit. [07:47] Glowstone is one of the most annoying [07:49] blocks in Minecraft. No matter what tool [07:50] [music] you use, you can't mine it any [07:52] faster. Even with a pickaxe, it breaks [07:54] at the same speed as your fist. It [07:56] literally has the word stone in its [07:58] name, and a pickaxe doesn't even help. [08:00] You can turn sulfur cubes into flying [08:03] nukes. Just place TNT inside a sulfur [08:05] cube, then leash as many of them as you [08:07] want to a happy gas. Fly over your [08:09] target, shoot one with a flame bow, then [08:11] quickly cut all the leads with shears [08:12] [music] so they drop. Once one explodes, [08:14] it triggers a chain reaction, and the [08:16] rest go off, too. There's pretty much no [08:18] [music] way to stop this massive [08:19] explosion once it's already begun. Aha. [08:23] Occasionally, two villagers may stop and [08:24] turn to look at each other, during which [08:26] they stare at another villager for 4 to [08:28] 5 seconds at a time. This behavior is [08:30] called villager socializing, and they [08:32] will also sometimes continuously stare [08:35] at a nearby player. Baby villagers [08:37] actually play with each other, and it's [08:38] way cuter than you'd expect. Sometimes [08:41] they'll jump on beds like they're [08:42] bouncing around, and other times they [08:44] play tag, where a whole group chases one [08:46] villager around trying to catch him. But [08:48] if you killed a villager in the front or [08:50] the ones chasing him or run to the exact [08:52] spot where he died and just stand there. [08:54] I think I tagged him a little too hard. [08:56] Have you ever raised your shield and [08:57] [music] still got hit? Well, you weren't [08:59] imagining it. When you hold up a shield, [09:01] there's actually a five tick delay [09:02] before it activates. So, if you block [09:04] right as the hit lands, it's already too [09:06] late. That's why you need to raise your [09:08] shield slightly before you [music] think [09:09] you're about to get hit. If you leash a [09:11] bunch of animals together and then fly [09:13] straight up in creative mode, you can [09:15] drop back down and kill all of them at [09:16] once. or the leash tension pulls them [09:18] down together [music] so they take [09:20] massive full damage at the same time. [09:22] It's weirdly satisfying to watch them [09:24] all drop at once. Like a slime's attack, [09:26] your shield will actually break in just [09:28] a few seconds. That's because slimes [09:30] don't have an attack cool down and can [09:31] attack you very quickly. You normally [09:33] don't notice this because the slime [09:35] knocks you back before it can reach you [09:36] again. But if you just hold your shield [09:38] and stay close, it gets completely [09:40] melted. And it's not just slimes. Magma [09:42] cubes, puffer fish, and even the ender [09:45] dragon also don't have attack cooldowns [09:47] when you get close, and they can all [09:48] break your shields insanely fast. If [09:51] you're being chased, one of the best [09:52] ways to escape is by diving to the [09:54] bottom of a river or ocean with a chorus [09:56] fruit. When you eat one, it won't [09:57] teleport you into water. It only send [09:59] you to a safe spot with air. So, if you [10:02] swim down and eat it, there's a chance [10:03] you'll get teleported into a cave below. [10:05] From there, you can run through the [10:07] caves and hide, making it almost [10:08] impossible for your enemies to find you. [10:10] If you equip leather boots, you can [10:12] actually climb up through powdered [10:13] [music] snow. Even in a room that's [10:15] three blocks tall, you can surprisingly [10:17] jump and climb straight up it. This [10:19] makes it perfect [music] for hidden [10:20] bases. Just build a snow themed ceiling [10:22] and place a single powdered snow block [10:24] [music] that perfectly blends in. Most [10:26] players won't suspect anything, but you [10:28] can climb straight up into a secret [10:30] room. If you place TNT inside a sulfur [10:32] cube and scale it up to 100 times, you [10:34] might expect a massive explosion, but [10:36] that's not what happens. When I lit it, [10:38] the blast was exactly the same as a [10:40] normal explosion. Boo, you stink. [10:43] Minecraft's attention to detail is [10:45] insane. Most players think when you [10:47] apply a banner to a shield, the game [10:48] just scales the texture down to fit on [10:50] it. But that's not what's happening at [10:52] all. Every single banner [music] pattern [10:54] was actually completely redrawn to fit [10:56] the shield's smaller scale. If you look [10:58] closely at the breeze pattern, the [10:59] original has four lines on the body, but [11:01] the shield version only has three. Or if [11:04] you look at the vertical line banner [11:05] pattern, it has four black lines on a [11:07] banner, but five black lines on a [11:09] shield. It's a tiny detail that proves [11:11] Mojang didn't just scale the art down, [11:13] they rebuilt [music] it from scratch to [11:15] keep it looking clean. If you place a [11:17] quartz pillar next to ancient debris, [11:19] you'll notice they share a very similar [11:21] pattern. Because of that, some Reddit [11:22] users have theorized that ancient debris [11:25] might actually be quartz pillars that [11:26] are thousands of years old. There's a [11:28] terrifying glitch in Minecraft that can [11:30] bypass a totem of a dying. And it only [11:32] happens if you shoot yourself. If you're [11:34] on one heart or lower, hold a totem in [11:36] your off hand and shoot an instant [11:38] damage [music] to arrow straight up. [11:40] When it lands on you, the totem will [11:42] activate and get consumed, but you'll [11:44] still [music] die anyway. For some [11:45] reason, the game doesn't give you proper [11:46] invincibility when the damage comes from [11:48] your own arrow. And the weirdest part is [11:50] this only works if you [music] fired it. [11:52] If another player shoots you with the [11:54] exact same arrow, your totem will work [11:56] normally. Most players [music] use slow [11:58] falling to prevent fall damage, but it's [12:00] actually even more useful in PvP. First, [12:02] it makes [music] critical hits [12:03] impossible since the effect completely [12:06] disables them. It also ruins [music] [12:07] your sprint jumps, making your movement [12:09] much slower. Mace damages scales with [12:12] full speed, so having the slow falling [12:13] effect completely nerfs your attacks. [12:15] [music] And in crystal PvP, it leaves [12:17] you floating in the air longer, making [12:19] you more vulnerable to crystal [music] [12:21] explosions. That's why pro players shoot [12:23] their enemies with slow falling arrows. [12:25] Normally placing a block next to a [12:26] cactus [music] will instantly break it, [12:28] but there are some weird exceptions. You [12:30] can place sugar cane right [music] next [12:32] to a cactus and it won't break. Even [12:34] things like flowers, crops, and coral [12:36] can sit next to it just fine. You can [12:38] also place a sapling next to a cactus, [12:40] but once the tree grows, the logs will [12:42] immediately break [music] it. Minecraft [12:44] logic at its finest. Most players think [12:46] once a bed is broken, their [music] [12:48] spawn point is reset to world spawn. But [12:50] that's a dangerous mistake. Breaking [12:52] your bed doesn't actually delete your [12:54] spawn points. It just makes it [12:55] obstructed. If someone places that bed [12:57] [music] back in the exact same spot, [12:59] your spawn point instantly reactivates. [13:01] So, if an enemy sees you break your bed, [13:03] they can wait for you to leave. Place it [13:04] back and [music] set up a spawn trap for [13:06] when you respawn. If you actually want [13:08] to move your spawn safely, don't just [13:10] break your bed and run. Sleep in a new [13:12] one to overwrite it. When the Ender [13:13] Dragon hits an Enderman, the Enderman [13:15] becomes aggressive and starts targeting [13:16] the dragon. But here's the strange part. [13:19] While it's angry at the dragon, you can [13:21] look directly at the Enderman's eyes and [13:23] it will instantly calm down. It [13:24] completely forgets about the dragon and [13:26] goes back to being neutral. For some [13:28] reason, it just forgets why it was [13:29] angry. You can actually fake your death [13:31] in Minecraft hardcore. On a server, you [13:33] can make your friend think [music] you [13:34] died. If they have a pet dog, you can [13:36] rename it to your username. But then, [13:37] when the wolf dies, the death message [13:39] shows your name instead. When your [13:41] friend is crying, you can appear out of [13:42] the shadows. Surprise! The Armistan trap [13:45] has finally been [music] solved. This [13:46] trap is infamous. If you got stuck in a [13:49] pit with a ton of armor stands, you [13:50] can't right click to use items, leaving [13:52] you [music] completely helpless as you [13:54] try to break through hundreds of armor [13:55] stands. You're stuck there while someone [13:57] kills you, [music] unable to break out. [13:59] But now there's a way to escape. Spears [14:00] have a longer reach than normal items, [14:02] and you can abuse that if you hold a [14:04] spear and quickly switch [music] to an [14:06] ender pearl and throw it. You can [14:07] attribute swap the spears reach for a [14:09] moment that lets you throw the ender [14:11] pearl through the armor stands and [14:12] escape. You can also do the same trick [14:14] with a chorus fruit to teleport out [14:16] instantly. Place a magma block, then a [14:18] potent sulfur block on top, and water [14:20] above that to create a geyser that [14:22] launches you into the air. It triggers [14:24] randomly every 15 to 16 seconds, so you [14:26] never quite know when you're about to [14:28] get sent flying. You can boost its power [14:30] by stacking more water blocks above the [14:32] sulfur up to four total. The more water [14:34] [music] you add, the higher it launches [14:35] you up to around 20 blocks high. It [14:38] works as a super satisfying elevator. [14:40] The Happy Ghast only has a solid hitbox [14:42] when a player is standing directly on [14:44] it. The moment you step off it, it loses [14:46] its collision, and every other entity on [14:48] top will immediately fall through. [14:50] [music] You can use this to build a [14:51] perfect mob proof entrance. Just dig a [14:53] deep pit in front of your door and leash [14:55] a happy gas [music] to a fence post [14:56] inside. Now, you can walk across it [14:58] perfectly fine to enter your base, but [15:00] any monsters trying to follow you won't [15:02] be able to cross. When an entity enters [15:04] the end, the obsidian platform fully [15:06] regenerates. It replaces any missing [15:08] obsidian and instantly breaks all blocks [15:11] up to three blocks [music] above it. [15:13] That includes insanely strong blocks [15:15] like Netherite and they still drop as [15:17] items. And it gets even crazier if you [15:19] somehow place bedrock on the platform. [15:21] Going through the portal will actually [15:22] break it, too. You can spend hours [15:24] finding and curing a zombie villager [15:26] only for it to turn into a nitwit that [15:28] you can't even trade with. All that time [15:30] and effort just gets wasted. It's [15:32] basically like raising a child. You [15:33] spend so much time on money in them just [15:35] for them to be an idiot. If you're [15:37] trying to repair your gear with mending, [15:39] you're probably doing it wrong. When you [15:41] pick up an XP orb, the game [music] [15:42] doesn't choose the item that needs the [15:44] most help. It just repairs a random [15:46] piece of gear. If that piece is already [15:48] full durability, the XP goes into your [15:50] level bar instead, wasting the repair. [15:52] Since helmets and boots have much lower [15:54] durability, they usually break first. [15:56] So, you should actually take off your [15:58] chest plate and leggings while mending. [15:59] That way, [music] all the XP is forced [16:01] into your boots and helmet, repairing [16:03] your weakest gear much faster. Minecraft [16:05] potion effects have a bunch of hidden [16:07] bonus abilities you probably didn't know [16:09] about. [music] The weaving effect spawns [16:10] a cobweb when a mob dies, but it also [16:12] lets you walk through cobwebs [music] [16:14] without getting slowed. Healing potions [16:15] restore your health, but they actually [16:17] damage undead mobs like zombies and [16:19] skeletons. Fire resistance doesn't just [16:21] protect you from lava. It also makes [16:23] magma blocks completely harmless. And [16:26] blindness does more than just darken [16:27] your screen. It completely stops you [16:29] from sprinting and even prevents you [16:31] from landing critical hits. You should [16:33] never hold down the jump button. If you [16:35] just hold the jump button, the game [16:36] actually [music] waits half a second [16:38] before trying to jump again. You [16:39] normally don't notice this because [16:41] jumping and landing already takes time [16:43] before your next jump. But if you hold [16:44] jump while standing under a ceiling, the [16:46] delay becomes obvious. [music] To bypass [16:48] this, you need to manually tap the jump [16:50] button instead. By timing your presses, [16:52] [music] you skip that jump cool down [16:54] entirely, allowing you to jump faster [16:56] and also tower upwards using blocks [16:58] faster. Have you ever noticed a globe [17:00] banner pattern in the loom? Most players [17:02] ignore it, but it might actually reveal [17:03] something huge about Minecraft's world. [17:05] If you look closely, it shows that the [17:07] world isn't flat, but is a cube. You can [17:10] also see in the 2023 April 4th vote [17:12] update where you could travel to the [17:13] moon and look back at the overworld [17:15] floating in space. From that view, it [17:17] looked flat, but maybe [music] that's [17:18] because we were only seeing one face of [17:20] the cube. This is the most annoying door [17:22] in Minecraft. There's a pressure plate [17:24] below to activate it, but it doesn't [17:25] open the door. It only opens once you [17:27] step off. Your friends will probably [17:29] think they're lagging, but in reality, [17:31] they were [music] pranked by a fairly [17:32] simple redstone contraption that uses [17:34] just a repeater, some redstone, and a [17:36] redstone torch. This is the luckiest [17:38] tree in Minecraft. You see, mob and item [17:40] drops in Minecraft aren't random at all. [17:42] They're based on the world seed. That [17:44] means if you create the same world twice [17:46] and kill the same mob or break the same [17:48] block, you'll always get the exact same [17:50] drops. But in this seed, something [17:52] incredible happens. The first leaf you [17:54] break drops two sticks and an apple, [17:56] which is already the rarest outcome. [17:58] [music] Then break the next leaf and get [18:00] another apple. Next leaf, another apple. [18:02] Even the leaf after that will drop an [18:04] apple. Finally, when you break [music] [18:05] the last leaf, it drops a sapling. The [18:07] odds of this happening are 1 in 3.2 [18:10] trillion. Can a frog eat a slime through [18:12] lava? I tested it and nope. Even if the [18:15] slime is right on the other side, the [18:17] frog won't eat it through lava. So, how [18:19] about through water? That actually [18:20] works. The frog just swims over and eats [18:23] the slime normally. Okay, what about a [18:25] oneb block air gap? Surprisingly, that [18:27] doesn't work either. The frog won't jump [18:29] the gap and it won't try to eat the [18:30] slime at all. For a frog to eat a slime, [18:33] it has to be able to walk right up to [18:35] it. Cocoa beans in Minecraft have had a [18:37] weird texture bug for years. But Bedrock [18:39] Edition somehow made it worse. In Java [18:41] Edition, one of the cocoa bean growth [18:43] stages used to have a tiny misalignment. [18:45] The side of the pod was 8 pixels wide, [18:47] but the top was only seven pixels, [18:49] [music] just enough to look slightly [18:50] off. This was eventually fixed in the [18:52] 1.19 Wild update, but in Bedrock, the [18:55] bug still exists, and [music] it affects [18:57] every single growth stage. The textures [18:59] are misaligned. The edges are chopped [19:00] off and the whole [music] thing looks [19:02] broken. It's been like this for years. [19:04] This is one of the rarest mobs in all of [19:06] Minecraft. YouTubers Roent and Heb look [19:08] through Minecraft's code and calculated [19:10] the odds of a zombie spawning with [19:11] perfectly enchanted gear. The chance of [19:13] a zombie spawning with maxed armor [19:15] enchantments is about 1 in 167 trillion. [19:18] But it gets even crazier. Zombies can [19:20] also spawn holding an iron sword. And [19:22] that sword can roll enchantments, too. [19:24] If you want the zombie to have max armor [19:26] and a max enchanted sword, the odds jump [19:29] to 1 in 700 quadrillion. If a hoglin is [19:32] chasing you, look for a warped fungus. [19:34] Hoglins are afraid of warped fungi and [19:36] will avoid getting within seven blocks [19:38] of [music] one if there aren't any [19:39] nearby. They're also scared of nether [19:41] portals. So running back to your portal [19:43] can keep them away. And if you're far [19:45] from your portal, hoglins are also [19:46] afraid of respawn anchors. [music] So [19:48] placing one down can scare them off. You [19:51] can't reach me now. This is playable [19:53] Minecraft inside of a chest. There's [19:55] everything from running across your [19:56] world, breaking blocks, crafting items, [19:59] and traveling through caves. This insane [20:01] creation was created by Seth Bling, and [20:03] it works by taking a slice of your [20:05] Minecraft world and rendering it inside [20:07] [music] of a chest. What's the rarest [20:08] fishing catch in Minecraft? At first, [20:10] you might think it's the ink sack. It [20:12] only has a 0.1% chance to catch, but [20:15] there's actually something [music] far [20:16] rarer, an enchanted book. While the [20:18] chance of fishing up an enchanted book [20:20] is 0.8%, [music] the real rarity comes [20:22] from how many enchants can be on the [20:24] book. When you fish one up, the game [20:26] determines the enchants on it with a [20:27] fishing loot seed. A seed hunter [music] [20:29] named Chris searched through every [20:31] possible fishing loot seed and [20:32] discovered that only one single seed in [20:35] existence can generate an enchanted book [20:37] with 12 enchantments, the absolute [20:39] [music] maximum possible. The odds of [20:41] reading in that specific book are one in [20:43] two to the power of 48, making it the [20:45] rarest fishing catch in all of [20:47] Minecraft. What happens if you throw an [20:49] invisibility [music] potion at the end [20:50] dragon? Normally, any mob splashed with [20:52] invisibility turns invisible. But the [20:54] dragon is different. Since it's a boss [20:56] mob, the potion has no effect at all. [20:59] The dragon is completely immune to [21:01] invisibility. And it's not just the [21:03] dragon. The wither ignores invisibility [21:04] [music] potions, too. But when you try [21:06] the same thing on other powerful mobs, [21:08] like the elder guardian or the warden, [21:10] they [music] actually do turn invisible. [21:12] So, it seems Mojang decided it so that [21:14] only the major boss mobs are unaffected [21:16] by invisibility. This is a piñata trap. [21:18] You teleport yourself into a cobweb, [21:20] making it look like the perfect chance [21:22] for your enemies to crit you out like a [21:23] piñata. But that's the bait. While [21:25] they're distracted, your teammates [21:27] activate the trap. Slime blocks launch [21:29] them upward and the floor opens beneath [21:31] you. Now your team can use knockback [21:32] punches to send the enemies straight [21:34] into the pit or they're focused on you. [21:36] If you place a trap door on top of a [21:37] lectern with a book, the pages will [21:39] glitch through the trap door, creating [21:40] what looks like an arrow. It's perfect [21:42] for giving subtle hints to players [21:44] without using obvious signs or ugly [21:46] terracotta blocks. When exploring an [21:47] ocean monument, you'll occasionally find [21:49] a sponge room, which is pretty useful. [21:51] However, when you spawn in on this seed, [21:53] you'll find an ocean monument right next [21:55] to you, which has 13 different sponge [21:57] rooms. You'll never run out of sponges [21:59] in this world. Have you ever tried to [22:01] jump crit the ender dragon and suddenly [22:02] got launched high into the air? At the [22:04] end fountain, if you jump to land a [22:06] critical hit on the dragon while [22:07] standing near the edge, the dragon's [22:09] hitbox can fling you upward to safely [22:11] deal critical hits. Stand one block back [22:14] while hugging the center of the [22:15] fountain. From there, you can jump and [22:17] crit the dragon without getting launched [22:18] into the air. With an end portal filled [22:20] with end portals actually work. If you [22:23] have a giant slab of end portal frames, [22:25] fill every slot with eyes [music] of [22:26] ender and then place the final eye on [22:28] the edge. The portals in the middle get [22:30] deleted and the portal is opened. In the [22:32] end dimension, it's easy to accidentally [22:35] look at an enderman and make it aggro on [22:37] you. A simple trick to avoid this is to [22:39] switch to third person and angle your [22:41] camera downward. This lets you see your [22:43] surroundings clearly while making sure [22:44] you don't accidentally look into an [22:46] Enderman's eyes. What happens if you try [22:48] to craft with negative items? In version [22:50] 1.8, if you take an item out of a chest [22:53] at the exact moment the chest explodes, [22:54] [music] you can actually create a [22:56] negative item. Using this glitch, I made [22:58] negative sticks and diamonds, put them [23:00] into a crafting table, and somehow it [23:02] still crafts into a completely normal [23:04] diamond pickaxe. [music] I basically [23:05] just scammed Minecraft. Do you like my [23:07] wolf tower? In the one block at a time [23:09] update, you could pick up and stack [23:10] multiple mobs on top of each other, [23:12] creating a huge tower of them. That's [23:14] how players are able to make [music] [23:16] completely illegal mobs like this [23:17] ridiculous wolf tower. Let's go [23:19] gambling. The shelf block looks [23:21] strangely similar to a slot machine. And [23:23] if you fill it slots with different [23:25] banner patterns, then decorate it with a [23:27] trap door, lever, and lightning rod, [23:29] you'll have a perfect slot machine [23:30] design. Add in some redstone, like this [23:32] setup by Redstone and Michael 23B, and [23:35] the machine even becomes fully [23:36] functional. Just be careful so you don't [23:38] end up with gambling addictions. If you [23:40] look carefully at the textures for [23:42] redstone, gunpowder, sugar, and [23:44] glowstone, you'll notice that they're [23:46] not only the exact same shape, but even [23:48] have the same texture pattern inside. [23:50] This is also true of all the ingots as [23:52] well as all the bricks. How do Minecraft [23:54] speedrunners build nether portals so [23:56] fast? First, place a [music] temporary [23:58] block and put water next to it. Then, [24:00] break the block to create the base of [24:02] the portal. Next, place six blocks in [24:03] this exact pattern to create a frame [24:05] where you can place a water bucket at [24:07] the top. Now, place lava next to the [24:09] water to form the obsidian for the [24:11] portal frame. After that, break the [24:12] stone blocks underneath [music] and [24:13] replace them with lava to finish the [24:15] bottom. If you look closely at this [24:17] painting, you might notice that it [24:19] actually looks like a picture of Rick [24:20] [music] Ashley, though I've also heard [24:22] some people call it Anakin Skywalker. In [24:25] reality, it's actually this painting [24:27] made by Christopher Zetastrand, which is [24:29] inspired by this painting [music] by [24:30] Casper David Friedrich. Still, even [24:33] after seeing what it's actually supposed [24:34] to be, I'm never going to give up [24:36] calling this the Rick Ashley painting. [24:39] The Minecraft world record was almost [24:41] shattered, but it was lost in the final [24:43] seconds. Speedrunner Sky Crab killed the [24:45] Ender Dragon in about 6 minutes, and he [24:48] teleported to the end fountain to finish [24:50] the run. But earlier, he had [24:51] accidentally looked at an Enderman. [24:53] While he was waiting for the exit portal [24:54] to generate, the Enderman [music] ran up [24:56] and killed him, ending the run. That's [24:58] why after killing the dragon, you should [25:00] box yourself inside the portal and avoid [25:02] standing near the corners so Enderman [25:04] can't reach you with their hitbox. Once [25:06] the dragon's death animation finishes, [25:08] the portal activates and you can safely [25:10] beat the game. The end island on this [25:12] seed has two separate layers. There's a [25:14] similar floating island sitting directly [25:16] above the main one, and the end portal [25:18] actually generates on that upper layer [25:20] instead of the ground level. Everyone [25:22] knows that villagers head to bed when [25:23] nightfalls, but this behavior didn't [25:25] exist until Minecraft 1.14, the village [25:28] and pillillage update. Before that, [25:29] villagers had no concept of sleep. When [25:31] it got dark, the sprint into their homes [25:34] and just stand there all night, often [25:35] crowding together or pacing around. If [25:37] zombies came knocking, the villagers [25:39] would panic and shuffle around inside, [25:41] but never actually lay down or rested [25:43] like they do now. Fast crafting is [25:45] extremely important in Minecraft [25:47] speedrunning. Some runs [music] are [25:48] decided by just a few seconds, so every [25:50] moment counts. Because of this, [25:52] speedrunners practice crafting common [25:54] items like armor, tools, buckets, boats, [25:57] doors, beds, and respawn anchors. By [25:59] building muscle memory, they can craft [26:01] these items almost instantly during a [26:03] run. If you love small houses, consider [26:06] using trap doors for your walls. They [26:07] make the inside of your house a lot [26:09] bigger by utilizing thinner walls. Just [26:11] be careful of any [music] pranksters [26:13] flipping all your walls open. Hey, give [26:14] me some privacy. There's a bit of [26:16] creepers below, but if you drop a cat [26:18] down in the middle, they all run away [26:19] and create a huge bubble around it. You [26:21] can name this cat your friend's name to [26:23] joke how everybody avoids him. Did you [26:25] know the ender dragon fight is actually [26:27] harder on Bedrock Edition? Even though [26:28] the Ender Dragon has the same health and [26:30] [music] stats in both versions, the way [26:32] it behaves in Bedrock makes the fight [26:34] way more intense. For starters, when the [26:35] dragon perches in Java, it gently hovers [26:38] down the portal, giving you time to set [26:39] up beds or land easy hits. But in [26:41] Bedrock, it slams straight down without [26:43] warning, making it nearly impossible to [26:46] prepare anything. And while the Java [26:47] Dragon charges players only [26:49] occasionally, in Bedrock, [music] it [26:50] lunges at you constantly. Breaking end [26:53] crystals is harder, too. In Java, you [26:55] can hit the ones inside iron bars from [26:57] certain angles, but Bedrock [music] [26:58] doesn't let you do that. You'll have to [27:00] build up every time, which is way [27:01] riskier with a charging dragon overhead. [27:04] Check this out. On this end islands, the [27:06] exit portal generates inside a small [27:08] hole with circular patterns around it. [27:10] The terrain lines up so perfectly that [27:12] it almost looks like the portal was [27:14] intentionally built there. Speedrunners [27:16] need to know every way to get ender [27:18] pearls. [music] First, you can find them [27:19] as loot in stronghold chests, trial [27:21] chamber barrels, and inside woodland [27:23] mansions in the fake end portal room. In [27:25] the Nether, you can barter with piglins. [27:27] Just toss them a gold ingot, and there's [27:28] [music] roughly a 2% chance they'll give [27:30] you ender pearls in return. If you [27:32] prefer trading with villagers, level up [27:34] a cleric to expert, [music] and there's [27:35] about a 67% chance they'll offer a pearl [27:38] for emerald trade. Lastly, you can just [27:40] kill [music] Enderman. Normally, [27:41] cobworming a player gives you time to [27:43] land critical hits while they're struck. [27:44] The problem is that they can easily [27:46] escape either by placing a water bucket [27:48] or by quickly breaking the cobweb with [27:50] their sword. But if you surround the [27:51] cobweb with banners, it changes [27:53] everything. The banners block water [27:55] placement and also make it harder for [27:56] your opponent to see and break the [27:58] cobweb. While they're trapped, they [27:59] can't hit you, but you can still hit [28:01] them. When you pull this lever, it [28:02] activates a command that creates an [28:04] endless stream of experience orbs, [28:06] basically turning it into an infinite XP [28:08] fountain. The orbs shoot out from the [28:10] tip of the lever and float toward you, [28:12] following wherever you move. As soon as [28:14] you start collecting them, you'll hear [28:15] that classic XP chime over and over, and [28:18] it's insanely satisfying. But if you let [28:20] the fountain run too long, the orbs [28:22] begin piling up and might cause you to [28:24] crash. Iron bars used to look very [28:26] different. Today, when you place one [28:28] down, it stands straight like a pole. [28:30] But originally, they formed a cross [28:31] shape when placed alone. It looked odd [28:33] and felt unintuitive. My guess is that [28:36] it was meant to show how they could [28:37] extend in any direction. In version 1.9, [28:39] they were updated to the pole design we [28:41] have now, which looks much cleaner, [28:44] especially for builds like umbrellas. [28:45] The same change applied to grass planes [28:47] when they used to have a cross shape, [28:48] but were updated to be straight. Did you [28:50] know the warden was originally supposed [28:52] to burn in sunlight? And it makes sense. [28:54] The warden is a hostile mob that lives [28:56] deep underground, so stepping into [28:58] sunlight should have set it on fire. [28:59] [music] But since the warden is blind [29:01] and can't even see light, Mojang [29:03] probably didn't want it constantly [29:04] [music] walking into the sun and burning [29:06] itself alive. One of Minecraft's [29:08] developers mentioned it in a tweet early [29:09] in development, but I guess they [29:11] scrubbed the idea to make the warden [29:12] even more dangerous. If a goat charges [29:15] into an end crystal, will it explode? [29:17] Well, if you place an end crystal and [29:18] drop an armor stand on top, then wait [29:20] for a goat to charge, the goat [29:21] completely ignores the crystal and only [29:23] rams the armor stand. Even if you stack [29:25] multiple armor stands inside the end [29:27] crystal, the goat will still only hit [29:29] the single entity it originally locked [29:31] onto. Once a goat picks its target, [29:33] nothing else matters. Fine, I'll blame [29:35] it myself. Beneath your smoker, place a [29:37] magma block and surround it with four [29:39] powered iron trap doors. On top of the [29:40] smoker, build a pipe out [music] of deep [29:42] slate walls that connects into the wall. [29:44] This way, you'll have a realistic hot [29:46] furnace. Did you know that the skull [29:47] tree was actually designed after the [29:49] part in your throat called the larynx [29:51] that lets you [music] scream? Did you [29:52] know that if a villager gets struck by [29:53] lightning, it turns into a witch? The [29:55] sad part is that if a villager becomes a [29:57] zombie, you can cure [music] it with a [29:59] weakness potion and a golden apple. But [30:01] once it becomes a witch, there's no way [30:03] to turn it back. The only way to free [30:05] them is to kill them. Thankfully, this [30:07] almost never happens naturally, unless [30:09] you accidentally electrocute them [30:10] yourself with a channeling [music] [30:12] trident. Oops, I just found a new way to [30:15] draw in Minecraft. It's with villagers. [30:16] You see, by running this command, you [30:18] can make villagers spawn [music] right [30:19] in front of you, and you can write all [30:21] sorts of things. Although it's quite [30:22] difficult to create something beautiful, [30:24] it's quite funny seeing [music] all the [30:26] villagers just floating around in the [30:27] sky. What's even better is that you can [30:29] swap the villagers out for any other mob [30:31] like creepers or even happy gas. Drawing [30:34] with happy gas is especially cool [30:35] because you can walk on top of their [30:37] solid hitboxes after you're done. When [30:39] stairs were first added to Minecraft, [30:41] they were totally unfair. If you [30:42] misplaced a wooden or cobblestone [30:44] [music] stair block and wanted to pick [30:46] it back up, it would drop a wooden plank [30:48] or cobblestone block instead. This meant [30:50] that placing down and then mining a [30:51] stair block would effectively lose you [30:53] resources since it [music] takes six [30:55] blocks to craft a stair, and mining them [30:57] would only give you four blocks in [30:58] return. This stayed in the game all [31:00] throughout alpha and beta and would only [31:02] be fixed when the game officially [31:04] released in 2011. Minecraft is half a [31:06] game about mining and half a game about [31:08] crafting. It's literally in the name. [31:10] So, obviously, the most important block [31:12] in the entire game is the crafting [31:14] table, or is it called a workbench? Yes. [31:17] When the crafting table [music] was [31:18] first added to the game, it was actually [31:20] called a workbench, which just feels [31:21] weird to say nowadays. I think crafting [31:23] table does a much better job of [31:25] explaining what the block actually does [31:27] since the word workbench could be used [31:29] to describe pretty much any of the other [31:31] workstation blocks as well. If you [31:32] summon a minecart on top of an axelottle [31:34] and then hop in, it may seem really slow [31:36] at first, but once you let the axelottle [31:39] enter the water, you'll realize it's [31:40] quite fast. Now, if you summon a boat on [31:42] top of an axelottle, you can actually [31:44] steer the boat while it's on top of the [31:46] axelottle. Unfortunately, it won't [31:48] control where the axelottle is going, [31:49] but it's so funny to look at. [31:53] But what's even crazier is this pillager [31:55] outpost that spawned at the top of a [31:56] mountain island. It looks like a [31:58] lighthouse overlooking the ocean. Have [32:00] you ever seen a rainbow made out of [32:01] mobs? It looks completely cursed, but [32:04] it's actually pretty simple to make. [32:05] With command blocks, you can summon [32:07] pigs, cows, and turtles at the exact [32:09] spot an armor stand [music] is facing. [32:11] them by slowly rotating the armor stands [32:13] direction. Each new mob spawns at a [32:15] slightly different angle. Keep this [32:16] process going and eventually you'll [32:18] create a curved rainbow made out of [32:20] hundreds of creatures. And [music] the [32:22] funniest part, if you toss potions of [32:24] harming at it, all the mobs start [32:25] screaming in unison. Or if you really [32:27] want screaming, pour some lava over the [32:29] rainbow. This is so funny. Moss might [32:32] seem [music] harmless, but it's [32:33] incredibly dangerous. With just one [32:35] block and some bone meal, you can [32:37] quickly spread it across an entire area. [32:39] In minutes, [music] you can turn your [32:40] friend's grassyard into moss, and fixing [32:42] it takes hours. Even worse, musk can [32:44] convert stone into more masks, meaning [32:46] you can ruin stone builds, too. The [32:48] original zombie pigman texture actually [32:50] had some text in it that read, "Thanks, [32:52] Zafobia." Who was the artist who created [32:54] the texture? By surrounding a bed in [32:56] some shelves, and placing some trap [32:57] doors [music] on top, we can finally [32:59] have a proper Minecraft casket. Have you [33:01] seen this structure before? It's called [33:03] a magma ravine. It's a giant crack in [33:05] the ground filled with magma blocks, [33:07] obsidian, and lava. Speedrunners love [33:09] finding these because the lava [33:10] underneath made it possible to build a [33:12] Nether portal and enter the Nether [33:14] quickly. But most players don't know [33:15] that magma ravines were actually removed [33:18] from the game in 1.17. It's kind of [33:20] surprising because [music] they were [33:21] such unique terrain features and [33:23] speedrunners especially loved using [33:25] them. This end island is insane. A [33:28] massive ravine splits the island clean [33:30] in half, stretching all the way through [33:31] the main area. Because of it, several [33:33] obsidian pillars ended up floating over [33:35] the void, and even parts of the island [33:37] look like they've been torn apart. This [33:39] trap activates only if you try to break [33:41] it. Did you know that when you walk [33:42] across a trip wire, only the hooks [33:44] update and get pulled? But if you break [33:45] the trip [music] wire string, every [33:47] piece of string along the line updates, [33:49] and that update can trigger an observer. [33:51] So, here's the [music] trick. Make a [33:52] long line of trip wire, hide an observer [33:54] underneath, and connect it to TNT. [33:56] Walking through the trap [music] won't [33:57] set it off, but if someone tries to [33:59] break the string to disarm it, the [34:00] observer detects it and activates the [34:02] TNT to blow them up. Breaking an end [34:04] crystal the wrong way can deal massive [34:06] damage to [music] you. If you punch the [34:07] crystal directly, the explosion will [34:10] hurt a lot. Even placing one block [34:12] between you and the crystal still lets a [34:14] lot of damage through. Instead, place [34:15] two blocks in front of the end crystal, [34:17] then jump and hit it over the blocks. [34:19] The blocks protect the lower part of the [34:21] body, so when the crystal explodes, you [34:23] take much less damage. Do you remember [34:24] this old command when playing in [34:26] creative mode? If it suddenly started [34:27] raining, you'd have to run the command [34:29] toggle downfall to make it stop as [34:31] opposed to the modern equivalent/weather [34:33] clear. Additionally, in order to swap [34:35] between survival and creative mode, you [34:37] need to type /game mode zero or [34:40] slashameode 1 instead of game mode [34:42] creative or game mode survival. [34:45] Interestingly enough, you can actually [34:46] type game mode one in Bedrock Edition to [34:48] go in creative mode and it still works. [34:50] I guess it really is a better version [34:52] after all. Something really fun you can [34:54] do is naming your animals my [music] [34:56] next meal. This way, the pig will be in [34:57] fear for the rest of its life. Don't [34:59] worry, I'll put you out of your misery. [35:01] SHEEP ARE POWERFUL. THEY CAN ACTUALLY [35:04] eat grass through slab blocks. And if [35:06] that's not impressive enough, they can [35:07] also eat grass while being in a [35:09] minecart. Pink sheep are usually rare [35:12] with a 064% [35:14] chance of spawning. However, on this [35:16] seed, every herd will include a pink [35:18] sheep, making them surprisingly common. [35:20] No mobs could spawn in my house. If [35:22] you're unsure if your room is bright [35:24] enough for mobs to not spawn, just [35:25] change out your entire floor with glass [35:27] since mobs can't spawn on transparent [35:29] blocks. Or you can even place rails all [35:32] over your floor, and that won't let mob [35:34] spawn either. My house looks so [35:35] beautiful, doesn't it? As you head [35:37] upwards this mountain, [music] you'll [35:38] find this strange terrain. There are [35:40] protruding spikes coming out of the [35:42] ground. You can use these spikes to [35:43] practice wind charge [music] jumping [35:45] from one spike to the next. When the [35:47] Nether Star was first added in Minecraft [35:48] 1.4.2, it actually wasn't explosion [35:51] proof. That means sometimes after [35:53] defeating the wither, the Nether Star it [35:54] dropped could get blown up in the chaos, [35:56] completely ruining your reward. [35:58] Thankfully, in version 1.4.6, Mojang [36:01] fixed it. The Nether Star was made [36:02] immune to explosions. So now you can [36:04] blast it with TNT all you want and it [36:06] will stay perfectly intact. This is a [36:08] Netherrack furnace. If Steve are really [36:10] smart, he craft a furnace with [36:11] netherrack at the bottom. You'd only [36:13] have to light it once and it would burn [36:14] forever, giving you infinite fuel. It's [36:16] kind of funny how campfires can stay lit [36:18] forever and cook unlimited food, but [36:20] Steve can't figure out how to make this [36:22] genius invention. This seed holds a [36:24] record for the most naturally broken [36:25] bedrock [music] in Minecraft. A ruined [36:27] portal generated in just the right spot, [36:29] destroying and replacing [music] 51 [36:31] bedrock blocks with netherrack and magma [36:33] blocks. This might be the luckiest [36:35] Nether Seed ever found because on this [36:37] seed, the first nine weather skeletons [36:38] you kill will all drop weather skulls. [36:41] Every single one. Normally, a weather [36:43] skeleton only has about a 2.5% chance to [36:46] drop a skull when killed with an [36:47] unenchanted [music] weapon. So, the odds [36:49] of getting nine in a row is 0.025 to the [36:52] power of 9, an unbelievably tiny number. [36:55] With some spruce trap doors, fence [36:57] gates, some barrels, you can create some [36:59] hanging storage by mixing up how you [37:01] place the blocks. You can create [37:03] different furniture designs as well, or [37:05] even add in some chiseled bookshelves, [37:07] [music] lanterns, and flower pots to [37:08] make things prettier. Spruce wood looks [37:10] particularly good because the barrel is [37:12] based off the spruce texture. What's the [37:14] largest passive mob in Minecraft? I was [37:16] thought the sniffer had the largest [37:17] hitbox of any passive mob at a total [37:20] volume of 6.32 blocks. But it turns out [37:22] there's actually a friendlier giant that [37:24] beats it. Even though the sniffer looks [37:26] bigger, its actual hitbox [music] is [37:27] smaller than the camels, which [37:29] officially has the second largest [37:30] passive mob hitbox in Minecraft, [37:32] measuring 6.86 [music] blocks cubed. And [37:35] the largest passive mob in Minecraft is [37:37] of course a happy ghast with a hitbox of [37:39] 64 blocks cubed. This is the rarest [37:41] possible tree in Minecraft. Most nether [37:43] fungus trees generate with a few shroom [37:45] lights, but it becomes exponentially [37:47] less likely for more and more to spawn [37:49] on the same tree. A tree completely [37:51] covered in shroom lights is [37:53] theoretically possible, but the odds are [37:55] so low that no one's ever found one. [37:56] When you place a firework on top of a [37:58] pressure blaze, it will actually press [38:00] [music] it down for a short moment. Will [38:01] piglins attack copper golems if they [38:03] open their chest? Normally, if a player [38:05] so much as touches a chest near piglins, [38:07] they'll get angry right away. But if you [38:09] spawn [music] in a copper golem and let [38:11] it do the sorting, the piglins won't [38:13] attack at all. What's funny is that when [38:15] copper golems were first tested in early [38:16] Bedrock previews, piglins actually did [38:19] see them as thieves and would swarm the [38:20] poor golem the moment it tried to open a [38:23] chest. There are four types of bastions [38:25] in Minecraft: bridge, hoglin stables, [38:27] housing [music] units, and treasure [38:28] rooms. Pro speedrunners memorize each [38:30] bastion type and learn a specific route [38:32] for each one. These routes will take [38:34] them to gold blocks, loot chests, and [38:36] the best spots to trap piglins for fast [38:38] bering. This might be the rarest piglin [38:41] barter ever recorded. Minecraft's luck [38:43] actually relies on your world seed. And [38:45] on this one, [music] something insane [38:47] happens. The first five barters you do [38:49] with any piglin or give you soul [music] [38:51] speed books in a row. Since each soul [38:53] speed book only has a 1.09% chance, [38:55] [music] getting five in a row is this [38:57] impossible small number, 0.0000005%. [39:02] When turtle drops were first added, they [39:04] were called turtle shell pieces, which [39:06] honestly made way more sense [music] [39:07] than skoot. I mean, who even knows what [39:09] a skoot is? Apparently, it's a [39:11] scientific term for the bony plate on a [39:13] turtle shell. But turtle shell pieces [39:15] was so much clearer. When you open your [39:17] creative inventory, you'll [music] [39:18] notice a compass tab that lets you [39:20] search for items. But I bet you didn't [39:22] know that the compass here is actually [39:24] functional. I always thought it was just [39:26] a decoration, but it'll point you [39:27] towards the world's spawn point. There's [39:29] a 1 in 256 chance for an egg to hatch [39:32] four chicks. So, if every egg in a full [39:34] stack of 16 hatched four chicks, that [39:36] would be a 1 in 256 to the power of 16 [39:39] chance, which is this super tiny number. [39:42] Java players get the F3 [music] menu to [39:44] see things like coordinates, biomes, and [39:46] days played. But on Bedrock Edition, [39:48] players don't have an F3 menu at all. [39:51] Instead, Bedrock gives you game rules. [39:53] If you want to see your coordinates, [39:54] just type /gameroll show coordinates. Or [39:57] if you want to see the days played on a [39:59] world, you can do /game rule show days [40:01] played to add a day counter right to [40:03] your screen. I wish Java had those, but [40:05] I guess it would be repetitive. Did you [40:07] know ender pearls used to behave very [40:08] differently with Nether portals? In [40:10] older versions of Minecraft, if you [40:12] threw an ender pearl at a Nether portal, [40:14] it would simply pass straight through [40:15] the portal blocks like they weren't [40:16] there. But in version 1.21, that [40:19] changed. Now, if you throw an ender [40:21] pearl through a portal, the pearl [40:22] travels into the Nether, and you [40:24] teleport when it lands, completely [40:25] skipping the portal animation. You can [40:27] also skip the animation by riding a [40:29] mount. If you enter the portal in a [40:30] boat, minecart, or another ridable, [40:32] you'll go through instantly. So, if [40:34] you're speedr runninging in newer [40:35] versions, tricks like these can save a [40:37] few valuable seconds. This is the [40:39] invisible vine [music] trap. You're able [40:40] to climb vines either by walking into it [40:42] or by holding your jump button. Most [40:44] players choose to walk into the vines, [40:46] and that's exactly how we trap them. You [40:48] can dig a hole behind the vines so that [40:50] when someone tries to [music] climb, [40:51] they fall straight through. This might [40:53] seem like a super obvious trap, but if [40:55] you place leaves behind the vines, it [40:56] blends in perfectly, making the gap [40:58] nearly invisible. While you hold space [41:00] to safely climb up, your enemy will walk [41:02] forward and drop straight into the trap. [41:04] This cave is insane. It generated in the [41:07] shape of a monster's face right at [41:09] spawn. It feels like if I turned on [41:10] peaceful mode, the whole thing would [41:12] disappear. What happens if you eat a [41:13] chorus fruit in an empty world? [41:15] Normally, it teleports you up to eight [41:17] blocks in any direction. But what if [41:18] you're standing on a tiny floating [41:20] island that's smaller than that? It [41:22] turns out that the chorus fruit is [41:24] smart. It only teleports you to solid [41:26] ground. So, it will never throw you off [41:27] the edge. And if you remove the whole [41:29] island, so you're standing [music] on [41:30] just one block, the chorus fruit can't [41:32] find anywhere safe to send you. In that [41:34] case, it just fails and you simply eat [41:36] the fruit without moving at all. Place a [41:38] copper golem statue underneath a map in [41:40] an item frame and you have what looks [41:42] like a pin sticking into the map. By [41:44] placing a few of these in different [41:45] colors around a larger map, you can have [41:47] real physical labels that show notable [41:49] areas in your world. Everyone knows [41:51] about the skeleton [music] horse. Four [41:52] of them spawn whenever you get near a [41:54] skeleton horse trap. However, these [41:55] horses always spawn as [music] adults [41:57] and they're impossible to breed. Now, [41:59] this may seem completely fine, but it [42:01] also means that you'll almost never see [42:03] the baby [music] skeleton horse variant. [42:05] If you really want to see the baby [42:06] horse, you can spawn it in creative [42:08] mode, though. I FOUND YOU. NOW DIE. IF [42:10] YOU'RE BUILDING a tiny oneb block tall [42:12] house and need an entrance, most players [42:13] will just use a regular trap door. But [42:15] as an even better solution, if you have [42:17] access to commands, you can set block [42:19] either the upper or lower part of the [42:21] door individually, and they'll still be [42:23] functional. This lets you have an actual [42:25] door for your tiny homes instead of [42:26] having to settle with trap doors. Arches [42:28] can be tricky to build, especially [42:30] smaller ones, since there's so little [42:32] space to work with. But here's a neat [42:34] trick for castles. Use wall blocks with [42:36] two anvils and a cauldron in the center. [42:38] The result is a simple yet [music] [42:40] beautiful arched window that looks [42:41] perfectly natural. This seed has an end [42:43] islands that completely failed to [42:45] generate, leaving just the obsidian [42:46] pillars floating in the void. But if you [42:48] teleport about 500 blocks away, you'll [42:51] actually find the real end island [42:52] sitting there instead. This is [42:54] Minecraft, but water and lava switch [42:55] places. If you're tired of regular [42:58] boring Minecraft, a fun way to spice [43:00] things up is swapping all water and lava [43:02] blocks. This will make your entire [43:03] oceans turn into lava pools, and the [43:05] Nether would look like an ocean. Since [43:07] falling sand can bounce off slime [43:08] blocks, [music] you can actually set up [43:10] a tennis match using pistons. Two piston [43:12] setups push slime blocks back and forth, [43:14] and the sand just keeps bouncing between [43:16] them forever. I don't think anyone's [43:18] winning this match anytime soon, though. [43:20] Will a trident well work? By placing [43:22] water blocks seven blocks away from the [43:24] center, you can create a whirlpool that [43:26] spins mobs and items. But if you dig out [43:28] the middle and place soul sand blocks at [43:30] the bottom to create a bubble stream, [43:32] will you be able to make a trident [43:33] whirlpool? While trident are affected by [43:35] soul sand, they won't spin like dropped [43:38] items do. If you give an allay an [43:39] emerald and shrink it down to 0.1 scale, [43:42] it becomes microscopic, but it still [43:44] holds the emerald in its hand. Now, drop [43:45] a few emeralds on the ground. Even at [43:47] that tiny size, the ally will still [43:49] search for them, pick them up, and bring [43:51] them back to you. When it throws the [43:52] items to you, they come out at full [43:54] normal size, like nothing ever changed. [43:56] This is what shooting fireworks with [43:58] multi-shot level one looks like, which [43:59] is normally the limit in survival. But [44:01] with commands, you can go way higher. [44:03] Here it's multi-shot level five. You can [44:06] already see way more fireworks firing at [44:08] once. This is level 20. Now the [44:10] fireworks start spreading out in a wide [44:12] fan. And at the max level of 255, it [44:15] turns into a perfect glowing ring of [44:17] fireworks exploding outward. The [44:19] firework explosion sounds at the end are [44:21] so satisfying. If you try to build an [44:23] iron golem underwater, you'll find it [44:25] doesn't work because there are water [44:27] blocks in the way. However, if you build [44:29] a snow golem underwater, it'll actually [44:31] work. What about lighting a Nether [44:33] portal? Well, that obviously won't work [44:35] since flint and steel doesn't work down [44:37] here. But if you try an end portal, it [44:39] will actually activate underwater. [44:41] Everyone knows a classic Minecraft piano [44:43] with dragon heads as a piano [music] [44:44] keys. But how about a diagonal one? This [44:46] grand piano creatively uses looms to [44:49] represent the strings of the piano, and [44:51] the quartz slabs represent the piano [44:53] keys. It's not [music] perfect, but if [44:54] you look at it, you clearly know what [44:56] it's supposed to be, which is insanely [44:58] impressive. Which spreads faster? [45:00] oxidizing copper or grass blocks. Since [45:02] copper takes ages to oxidize while grass [45:05] spreads [music] pretty quickly, you'd [45:06] think grass would win every time. But [45:07] copper doesn't rely on being next to [45:09] another oxidized block. Any copper block [45:11] can randomly oxidize on its own, no [45:13] matter where it is. That means the very [45:15] last copper block could finish oxidizing [45:17] before the first grass block even [45:18] [music] spreads once. So depending on [45:20] luck, sometimes grass wins, and other [45:23] times copper pulls off a surprise [45:24] victory. Which of these blocks can [45:26] spiders climb? First or try with [music] [45:28] glass? And yep, the spiders can climb [45:30] it. Next, if we try ice blocks, the [45:32] spiders can climb those, too. But when [45:33] we try drip leaf blocks, the spider [45:36] can't climb [music] the stems at all. [45:37] The same goes for signs. No climbing [45:39] there, either. However, if we place [45:41] [music] down honey blocks, the spider [45:42] can climb them and kill us. If you [45:44] create a grid of pistons and skullk [45:46] sensors, then fire a single arrow into [45:48] it, you'll create a super unique pattern [45:51] that makes me happy. It looks super [45:53] satisfying, but you can even throw [45:55] snowballs around to mix up the pattern [45:57] shape. Oh, it's beautiful. By digging [46:00] two blocks down, placing a bed, and then [46:02] using a piston to push a block into you, [46:04] your head ends up right at ground level. [46:06] Add a pumpkin on your head, and you can [46:08] blend in with the surrounding pumpkins. [46:10] Now, when players walk past, they won't [46:11] suspect a thing until you punch them [46:13] straight into a knockback trap. This is [46:15] a naturally generating [music] [46:16] stone end portal, and somehow it's [46:18] already lit. It's happened because a [46:20] lava lake spawn directly beneath a 12-ey [46:22] portal, and when one generates, it [46:24] replaces the surrounding blocks with [46:26] stone. What makes it even rarer is that [46:28] it doesn't always appear this way. The [46:29] [music] effect only happens if the [46:30] portal loads from a specific direction [46:32] since the order that chunks generate can [46:34] slightly change the world. Load it from [46:36] another side and the same portal looks [46:38] completely normal. In Java Edition, many [46:40] structures like pillager [music] [46:41] outposts or villages generate without a [46:43] base. That means they often end up just [46:45] hovering in midair, especially if the [46:47] terrain is uneven. But in Bedrock [46:49] Edition, structures are given full [46:51] foundations that extend all the way down [46:52] to the ground, no matter how far that [46:54] is. This might seem like a minor detail, [46:56] but at least there some wild world [46:58] generation. You might find a pillager [46:59] outpost with a massive wooden pillar [47:01] stretching dozens of blocks in the air, [47:03] or even an ocean monument reaching all [47:05] the way to the seafloor. As you can see, [47:07] when we look underneath every mob head [47:09] in the game, the skeleton and wither [47:11] skeleton skulls are the only ones that [47:13] we can see inside of. If you strike a [47:15] villager with lightning, it turns into a [47:17] witch. But what happens if a baby [47:19] villager gets struck by lightning? Turns [47:20] out the baby villager just grows [47:22] straight into an adult witch. That's so [47:24] cursed. This is one of the rarest [47:26] drowned in Minecraft. You've probably [47:28] seen drowned holding a trident, but they [47:29] can also spawn holding a fishing rod, [47:31] which only has a 3.75% [47:33] chance. They also have a 3% chance to [47:36] hold a nautilus shell in their other [47:37] hand, a 5% chance to be a baby, and a [47:40] 50% chance for that fishing rod to be [47:42] enchanted. Combine all of that, and [47:43] there's only about a 0.0028% [47:46] chance of a drown spawning as a baby [47:48] holding both a nautilus shell and an [47:50] enchanted fishing rod. This is such a [47:52] majestic seed. On one half, you'll find [47:54] a pale garden and on the other side, [47:56] you'll find a vibrant cherry blossom. [47:58] It's like hell is on one side and heaven [48:00] on the other. What's quite funny is that [48:01] if you look at the center of the pale [48:03] garden, you'll find a small patch of [48:04] green trees [music] like it's the eye of [48:06] a storm. This is a circle of fireballs. [48:08] To make it, you rotate an armor stand or [48:10] summoning fireballs in the direction [48:12] it's facing. As the armor stand spins, [48:14] [music] the fireballs appear one by one, [48:16] forming a perfect ring. It's incredibly [48:18] satisfying watching the circle complete. [48:20] And if you punch just one of the [48:21] fireballs, it sends the entire ring [48:23] flying. If you spawn a ton of axelottals [48:26] right above an end portal, something [48:27] really strange happens. Because the end [48:29] dimension isn't loaded, all the [48:31] axelottals get teleported to the exact [48:33] same coordinates and stack on top of [48:34] each other. So, when you finally go [48:36] through the portal, they all cause a [48:38] huge explosion of axelottals everywhere [48:40] along with a super weird burst of [48:42] sounds. Hoglins are the worst. They have [48:44] a reach of about 1.9 blocks, and when [48:46] they hit you, they can launch you [48:48] upward. Even if you block with a shield, [48:50] you can still get knocked back. Most [48:51] players try to avoid them, but if you [48:53] need food in the Nether, there's an easy [48:55] way to deal with them. Stack up three [48:57] blocks so they can't reach you. Then [48:58] light them on fire or use lava to burn [49:00] them and finish them off with your axe [49:02] to get cooked pork chops. How do [49:03] speedrunners find bastions in the Nether [49:05] so quickly? Bastions are filled with [49:07] [music] piglins, which means they [49:08] contain a lot of entities. Speedrunners [49:11] press F3 and watch the entity [music] [49:13] counter while scanning the area. To make [49:15] this more accurate, they increase entity [49:17] distance to 500% in the settings and [49:19] lower their FOV for more precise [49:21] scanning. If the entity count suddenly [49:23] spikes, it's usually a sign there's a [49:25] bastion for the piglins in that [49:27] direction. So, they head that way to [49:29] find it. When you use bone meal on grass [49:31] in [music] Java Edition, you'll get [49:32] flowers, short grass, and sometimes a [49:34] bit of tall grass. But in Bedrock [49:36] Edition, you'll get flowers and short [49:37] grass, [music] too. But instead of tall [49:39] grass, it gives you ferns. That small [49:40] difference actually makes ferns way [49:42] easier to get in bedrock. [music] While [49:44] in Java, you have to go out and find a [49:45] biome where they naturally generate just [49:47] to start farming them. Most players talk [49:49] about rare usernames, but there's also [49:51] rare UYU IDs. UYU IDs are assigned [49:54] whenever you buy an account [music] and [49:55] can't be changed. And there are some [49:57] rare combinations of them, like the [49:58] username Phantom, where UYU ID has nine [50:01] consecutive digits of five. But the [50:03] rarest possible UYU ID would be if every [50:06] single digit was the same. Minecraft [50:08] uses version four UYU IDs, which means [50:11] the 13th digit is always a four. So, to [50:13] get every other one to be a 4-2, the [50:15] odds are [music] 1 in 16 to the power of [50:18] 31. Enderman can normally dodge [50:20] projectiles. But can they dodge a [50:21] warden's sonic boom? If you trap an [50:23] Enderman near a warden, the warden will [50:25] get angrier and angrier until he sonic [50:27] booms the Enderman. You'll see those [50:29] blue particles fire out from its chest. [50:31] But the Enderman doesn't dodge it at [50:32] all. That's because the sonic boom isn't [50:34] a normal projectile. It directly targets [50:36] the mob, goes through blocks, and lands [50:38] instantly. So, there's nothing for the [50:40] Enderman to teleport away from. This is [50:42] one of the rarest villages in Minecraft. [50:44] It's [music] a stronghold village found [50:45] by Meg Galaxy. And he didn't just find [50:47] one seed like this. He found several. In [50:50] one, a desert village generated inside [50:52] the stronghold library. In another, [50:53] [music] the iron golem spawned directly [50:55] in the lava of the end portal room. And [50:57] in the craziest one, a house generated [50:58] [music] on top of the end portal itself, [51:00] and a villager inside instantly fell [51:02] into the lava pit and died. This is the [51:05] fastest way to loot a [music] desert [51:06] temple. Speedrunners first break a [51:08] sandstone block and drop down into the [51:10] center. You can also sand clutch on [51:11] [music] the way down to reduce full [51:13] damage. Once below, break the block [51:14] under the pressure plate. Then [51:16] immediately place the pressure plate [51:17] [music] beneath you to ignite a single [51:19] piece of TNT. Quickly drop into the hole [51:21] and mine all the TNT. Then place one TNT [51:24] [music] block to jump back up. Break [51:25] that TNT before the original one [51:27] explodes. When it detonates, the [51:29] explosion breaks all the chests, letting [51:31] you loot the temple extremely quickly, [51:32] while also giving you a bunch of free [51:34] blocks for the rest of the run. Is it [51:36] possible to launch sand above the height [51:38] limit? I built a simple TNT cannon to [51:40] fire a block of sand onto a platform. [51:42] But when the sand reaches the height [51:43] limit, it doesn't stay as a block. It [51:45] instantly breaks and turns into an item. [51:48] I've always thought it's kind of weird [51:49] that you can punch things like glass [51:51] blocks [music] and cactus without taking [51:52] any damage. Well, apparently Mojang [51:55] thought so, too, since this was actually [51:56] a feature [music] of the cactus block [51:58] when it was first added to the game. [51:59] Every time you started punching a cactus [52:01] to break it, the player took half a [52:03] heart of damage. I guess players [52:05] probably found this feature a little too [52:06] annoying, so it got immediately removed [52:08] in the next update. But I think it'd be [52:10] funny if it still happened today. You [52:11] know how you can't stack suspicious [52:13] stew, so you can only carry a few at a [52:15] time? Well, there's a secret trick to [52:16] stacking them, and it's really simple. [52:18] Instead of crafting the suspicious [52:20] stews, just keep the ingredients in full [52:22] stacks and craft a stew whenever you get [52:24] hungry. That way, a single setup like [52:25] this can last you forever and only takes [52:27] up four inventory slots. End portals are [52:30] hot. If you place ice near the end [52:32] portal structure, the ice will stay [52:33] frozen. But once you place ice inside of [52:36] [music] the frames, the portal will [52:37] actually emit light and melt the ice. [52:39] Can a frog eat an invincible slime? [52:42] First, I tested it by giving a slime max [52:44] regeneration, absorption, and resistance [52:46] effects. This basically makes a slime [52:48] impossible to kill by normal means, but [52:50] the frog can still just swallow it whole [52:52] without any [music] problem. However, [52:53] what did work was summoning a slime with [52:55] the invulnerable attribute. When I did [52:57] that, the frogs couldn't eat it at all [52:58] and just kept hopping past it. Will the [53:00] world border stop the redstone signal? [53:02] It can stop you from walking through, [53:04] but it can't stop redstone. If you put a [53:06] lever on one side of the world border [53:08] and TNT on the other, then flip the [53:10] lever, the redstone [music] signal still [53:12] travels across the border and blows it [53:13] up. Okay, what if the redstone line goes [53:16] out of the world border then comes back [53:17] in? Flip the lever and then the TNT [53:20] still activates like nothing is wrong. [53:21] So the world border can block players [53:23] but not redstone and TNT.
