20 Things You Totally Didn’t Know About Minecraft!

If you think you know everything about Minecraft think again because in this video I’ll show you 20 things you probably definitely did not know about Minecraft of course if you take an azalea bush and bone meal it it’ll grow into a large azalea tree and generally

When I’m doing this I just Harvest it with Shear so that I can get these leaves to plant them somewhere else however if you were going to harvest one of these Naturally by just breaking all the oak logs that are inside of it you might notice something interesting which

Is that the azalea leaves Decay but not only do they Decay unlike let’s say the mangrove leaves if you break it with the fortune hoe or even just let it naturally Decay something you may notice is that we’re actually getting from these leaves some azalea plants now you

Get the standard azalea bushes from the standard azalea leaves when they Decay as of course a chance so you can see for instance right here we’re gonna break a really large number of these flowering azalea leaves we got eight of the flowering azalea plants from just a

Couple of the leaves now the mangroves swamp’s main features of course the mangrove trees and the way they generate if some of the mangrove Roots here generate inside of the mud blocks you will get muddy Mangrove Roots which by the way the fastest tool for the mangrove roots that are muddy is

Actually the shovel and not the ax and there’s a lot of crazy things about the muddy Mangrove roots for instance you can place them sideways like this up and down orienting them just like a log unlike let’s say the roots here where they can only have their texture have

These lines going upwards but what’s also interesting is that if you craft it with mud you can actually place in a shapeless recipe mud and Mangrove roots in the crafting grid to craft yourself the muddy Mangrove roots with a very logical recipe one mud block and one

Mangrove root block giving you one muddy Mangrove Roots so if you ever decide that muddy Mangrove roots are your new favorite building block you can craft those by simply getting the naturally corresponding ingredients found inside of this biome now Minecraft’s item art style is fairly consistent and something

You may or may not have noticed is that every single item that’s sort of long always goes from the bottom left corner of the square to the top right corner always going that angle and never the opposite direction you can see that on everything from arrows to tools to even

Just name tags or items like the pork chop that are not exactly Square they always have that when they have the one side be in the bottom left and the other side being the top right except for one item the echo Shard you might be looking

At the echo Shard right now and it doesn’t look too weird but let’s compare it to another type of block that’s very similar the amethyst Shard you do notice that’s going in the opposite direction and it goes in the opposite direction of literally every single item in the

Entire game that goes that way and I’m not sure if this was actually intentional or not but regardless of that what it says to me is that the echo Shard is an incredibly alien item something that does not come from the Overworld now of course the first step

To brewing in Minecraft is always the same but what happens if you skip turning these into a usable potion of effect and put in one of the modifiers straight away what I find to be incredibly interesting is making splash water bottles for instance let Sam lobs

On fire if you throw a splash water bottle at it it’ll actually put that mob out but as well as that if you throw it out of blaze it damages the Blaze and is a fairly decent weapon against it but why stop at Splash water bottles add a

Potion of dragon’s breath and get yourself some lingering water bottles that doesn’t really work that well if you throw it on the ground you don’t actually have a big pool of water just stay there for a while like let’s say it normally would with a potion effect but

You still can technically make those and I think my favorite of all is the fact that if you take those lingering water bottles and combine them with arrows in the crafting grid you can literally make what’s known as an arrow of splashing or basically a completely useless tipped

Arrow campfires are one of those items in Minecraft that have a lot more uses to it than you would think so for example if you right click on a campfire with a shovel it’ll be put out and then you sort of have this interesting decorational item on the ground but

There’s actually a lot of really interesting ways of making this campfire be lit again instead of just let’s say right clicking on it with flint and steel or breaking it and placing it so for example if we get out in Anvil and we enchant a bow with the flame

Enchantment and then shoot standard Arrows with it we can actually reignite campfires by hitting them with our flame arrows but it is a really fun and realistic use of this enchantment that of course a flaming arrow could be used to reignite this campfire this could definitely be placed into a different

Contraption to make it more interesting so for instance an observer facing towards one of these campfires then if you shoot one of those campfires with an arrow from Super far away that campfire will light and then from that it can send a signal to do whatever you want Minecraft’s forests Rolling Hills planes

Oceans and all the other biomes inside of it are all somewhat realistic to real life and definitely give Minecraft this feel of being a simplified version of the Earth in fact so much so the there is only two biomes in the entire Overworld that are not in real life and

Of course the first one is the one I’m walking on right now that is the mushroom field it’s also known as the Mushroom Island and this biome was added to the game a long time ago so I’m not exactly sure what made the developers decide to add an unnatural biome to the

Game until in Minecraft 1.19 the deep dark now the deep dark not being natural to real life makes a lot of sense because I’m definitely sure that the lore around the deep dark is supposed to be that’s sort of corrupting and trying to take over the lower parts of

Minecraft server World definitely the way that it works by having other blocks being converted into it it should be seen as a parasitic biome if a mob or player is given the invisibility effect they completely disappear even if you also have the invisibility effect that mob entity or player just cannot be seen

Anymore as you can of course see right here for instance we have a massive number of mobs that have just disappeared but what if I told you that inside of spectator mode all of these mobs suddenly turn visible cool you’ll in fact see right here we can see a

Strange ghostly outline of all these mobs for instance these two frogs here are something as large as the cows and I think the only reason why this is that if you right click on the mob then of course you can know it’s there and you can see things through their eyes as you

Can normally and so because they retain that little bit of visibility you can have that as a decent way of knowing where those invisible mobs are and this does work the exact same with players or entities or anything else that you can give invisibility to you might have

Noticed if you play Minecraft Java Edition but you go into a cave that you just found the game is in hard difficulty and you see basically no mobs and why is it that let’s say later on in the game you go to a super small cave and it’s literally full with hundreds

And hundreds of hostile mobs well it’s because of an interesting effect known as local difficulty now local difficulty is a background effect which means the longer you’re in an area for the more difficult it becomes the more mobs can generate in that area but as well as

That some other things changes well so for instance the percentage of mobs that can pick up and hold items is made much higher and you have to be really careful about that because let’s say you died in an area that has a high local difficulty also of course known as an area that

You’ve been in for a very long time then some of your items could be picked up by the zombies or skeletons that are around their Minecraft 1.19 of course introduced the Frog you may not know as much about this funny mob as you think one thing kind of interesting about the

Frogs although they do tend to like being outside the water if they do go into the water they actually have a really complicated swim animation so for instance you can see this frog right here when in the water actually has its feet and its legs move in motion like

That what’s also pretty funny about frogs is that they will tend to try and jump and land on a lily pad when they jump so for instance these frogs right here are all centered around the silly Pad but if we put the lily pad over here some of these frogs could definitely try

And jump over to it or try and land in a different area where there is a lily pad sitting down I think it’s so funny how Mojang chose to let’s say add an interesting swim animation to the Frog but then other mobs in the game like the

Drown don’t even have a swim animation inside of java although they do in Bedrock now I’m sure that basically everyone who’s watched this video has ran into one of these at one point the desert pyramid also known as the desert temple now these generate fairly frequently inside of the sand biomes

There’s nothing really weird about the game calling this a desert temple or a desert pyramid is it that’s of course the main structure of it is fairly pyramid shaped however something that definitely is very strange is this this is the jungle temple but that’s not actually what it’s called This is

Technically known as the Jungle Pyramid now I have literally no idea why this is called the Jungle Pyramid because it looks nothing like a pyramid in any way but the strange sort of fact and mystery to me is why this is known in the code as a Jungle Pyramid maybe when this is

First being added the developers had the idea to make this be sort of like a Mayan pyramid-shaped structure however the final product we got looks nothing like that that as right now when you’re locating something it’s still being typed in as a Jungle Pyramid fences are a really great way of adding decoration

To a build and Minecraft has 10 soon to be 11 different types of them in the game every single fence is made out of wood except for one type and that is the nether brick fence which are crafted with a 2×2 of Nether Bricks and the nether brick fences can be made by

Having these blocks on either side with the Nether Bricks in between to sort of connect them as if these Nether Bricks were playing the role of the sticks and you’ll of course notice here all the fences connect to each other making some really nice and colorful patterns but

They will not connect to the nether brick fences you’ll in fact notice that right here we can fully surround this on every single side with the nether brick fences and no matter what we do this just will not connect to the other fences however you can use the fact that

The nether brick fence does not connect to the other fences as a really cool build element so for instance right here we can make a super small thin little tunnel that we can actually walk down here between these two fences I would say the most often forgotten about item

In the entire game is glow like and the glow like in generates in basically every single type of cave that sort of seems to be a fairly useless item although it does add a little bit of light to an area and it is definitely nice to have some light in the caves as

For instance right here well we can literally see that glows things up is over here there’s some of the glow lichen on the walls there however there’s a lot more you can do with glue like and then just let it sit on a wall adding light to caves now the great

Thing about glow lichen is it’s super easy to collect with shears the other thing that makes this a really amazing item is that it’s not destroyed by it but it does instantly block lava and water so for instance as you can see right here with just a couple pieces of

Glow like and that are really hard to pick out we can have that lava go in any shape we want or for instance right over here with this water let’s say we don’t like what it’s doing we can simply go to a certain area of that place down some

Glow Lichen in a row and stop that water from flowing and make it drain out something I love about Minecraft is the fact that she deep breeding makes sense let’s say we take a gray sheep and breed it with a white sheep what do we get from that well you’d assume light gray

And that is what happens we have right here a little light gray baby sheep so let’s say we dye sheep red and then we dye sheep yellow kind of changes their DNA in a sense that they always grow that type of wool we can then breed the

Yellow sheep with the red sheep and we have an adorable baby orange sheep and this works with literally any single dye crafting recipe in the entire game however unfortunately with pets so let’s say some tamed wolves or maybe some tamed cats the collar color is not a

Genetic trait so let’s say for instance right here we have a dog with a blue collar and this one has a white collar you’d assume both of those mixing would give us a light blue collar well let’s turn these both into breeding mode and see what happens the baby dog or wolf

Has a red collar powder snow is a somewhat new danger that players have to deal with in Minecraft 1.18 and onwards and I think most players are aware of the fact that if you wear some piece of leather armor you can literally just walk right over the powder snow and not

Have an issue with it but honestly something a lot better than just bringing around some stupid leather boots is carrying around a bow that has the flame enchantment or also a water bucket that flaming arrow can instantly destroy powdered snow blocks that it goes through as you can see right here

You can use this to clear out large areas of the powder snow the other great method is the fact that water will instantly destroy any powder snow that it touches so let’s say we go into a big area of powdered snow when we place down a water bucket you’ll notice as that

Water flows over the powder of snow it will simply delete it as it flows over that area making this entire place be turned from snow into dirt a funny fact about Enderman is that they actually have the silk touch enchantment on their hands you can tell this because Enderman

Can pick up grass blocks for instance this one right here you can see it has a grass block inside of its hands with the standard grass block texture and of course you can’t pick up a grass block unless you break it with silk touch as with your fist it just breaks into dirt

So apparently Endermen are able to be very very careful with the blocks that they pick up they can even pick up things like flowers or in the nether the silk touch only warped and Crimson nyliam also as another fairly strange fact and thing that the Enderman can

Pick up that is TNT you’ll notice these Endermen have TNT blocks inside their hands and in fact it seems like they actually like picking up the TNT more than the other items around here as a bunch of these Endermen have that they’re but overall just funny to see an

Enderman holding TNT as you never see that inside of survival you might think of drip Stone inside of caves to be a fairly boring and useless thing but it’s actually the farthest thing from it you see the reason why is that if a trident hits ripped stone or if you honestly

Just manually break drip Stone you’ll notice sometimes you can have these falling pieces of drip Stone go onto the ground and basically believe it or not what will happen with this falling piece of drip stone is it causes insane amounts of damage image you saw for instance right there that one falling

Piece of drip Stone instantly killed the pig but you could even do something like this if you’re just above those mobs and you happen to break these blocks will fall on and instantly get those pigs but crazy enough with our full netherite armor if we are hit directly with one of

These falling pieces of drip Stone just like this you can see we were literally instantly killed in full netherade armor by a singular falling stalactite if you have a soul sand bubble column like this you can suspend different things in it so for instance we could have an ender

Pearl that just stays floating in the middle of that forever but making this much more interesting the same effect actually works with the fire charge we just have to do it a little bit differently lay down a much larger area of the Soul Sand and then to put above

It a ring of random temporary blocks and we’ll just put some water blocks around the edges here just avoiding the three blocks in the corners we’ll have a dispenser facing downwards and put fire charges in it and make that have a bunch of fire charges go into the water and

Something pretty crazy will happen which is if we take a look in the water right here we actually have some fire charges that are basically having fire that is being propelled and staying inside of the actual bubbles which I think is definitely pretty crazy as it’s pretty

Hard in Minecraft to have fire be inside water Badlands also known as the Mesa biome is probably one of the most underrated biomes in Minecraft but it does have a really interesting feature to it and that is the fact of the surface level dark oak wood Mesa mine

Shafts now these mine shafts obviously have to do with the huge amount of gold that generate around the Mesa Biomes showing the fact that there were miners that were here and could mine ores at really high up levels there’s only three structures in the entire game that have

Biome dependent features to them so the first one is of course Villages and that one is fairly obvious the second one is the ruined portals so for instance a jungle ruined portal would sort of have some leaves around it and the third one is this that is the Mesa biome mine

Shaft it’s actually strange that it is made out of dark oak wood because although dark oak wood was added in the same update as the Mesa biome mine shaft was dark oak doesn’t really generate anywhere near the Mesa biome Shields are really great inside of Minecraft because

You can use them to defend yourself against all kinds of arrows let’s say when shot by a skeleton which of course will bounce right off harmlessly but then let’s say we have a crossbow that has the piercing enchantment on it and that arrow goes flying into the air well

Basically the crazy thing is is that basically that piercing Arrow can go right through our Shield even Sarah’s Shield lost quite a bit of durability there if we let’s say let another arrow fly into the air and we try and block it again you’ll notice it’ll be a specific

Sound and our Shield’s durability will also go down even lower so just good to be aware of this inside of PVP a piercing arrow is like the Ultimate Weapon that can be used against someone with a shield because of course generally they’re expecting someone who

Has an ax who can come up to them and use that ax to disable the shield however if you have one of these piercing crossbows you can simply shoot all the way through their shield and they won’t even know it hit them something you may or may not believe is

That inside of Minecraft the physics are actually calculated in a fairly realistic way so you can see for instance right here these waves of axles are getting smaller and smaller and I’ll show you what that’s representing basically if we set up a command block when we’re flying is the pattern that we

Bounce after we’ve hit the ground with those axolotls is actually fairly realistic and you can see right here we have these little bouncing waves that are procedurally getting smaller and smaller and smaller from the massive bounce we made at the beginning and you can even see right here the pattern

Happening again with these ax throttle waves getting larger and larger and larger I think a lot of things make people think that Minecraft’s physics are fairly unrealistic but just using this as an example it’s actually crazy how accurate they can be making these perfect waveforms on the ground anyway

That is 20 things you definitely did not know about Minecraft now of course you might have known about some of these things and if you did be sure to tell me about it in the comments below if I was able to show you some new things about
