23 Minecraft Pranks That’ll Get You Banned

This is every way to prank your friends in Minecraft when you’re trying to prank your friends there’s few Concepts that are as popular as the old Switcheroo and on Minecraft we’ve got your main hand and we got your off hand except which is which can change up pretty easily since

If we go into the accessibility options Tab and then switch it so that our main hand is our left hand now we’ll be confusing anyone who looks at us since what they think we’re holding in our offhand we’re actually holding in the main hand and as raspin showed off in

The s p this could be a great way to trick someone in a trade deal for instance they think you’re gonna throw out something valuable like a diamond since that’s in your traditional main hand when all that you actually end up throwing out is just a block of dirt but

If you do this just make sure to keep your actual left hand ready on the controls to move away because as soon as they realize they’re gonna want to chase after you if you use a silk touch pickaxe to break a skulk Shrieker then when you place it back down it won’t

Spawn a warden which sounds like a downside but to us it’s the ultimate benefit since by following after green and taking a bunch of these skulk streakers and putting them in your friend’s base even if they’re not spawning a warden they’re still gonna give off the sound like they do and we

Can Stack Up the Volume and until eventually we’ve got up to 247 Sounds playing at the same time and the only reason we stop at 247 is because that’s the literal limit for where Minecraft stops playing noises but believe me even at that number that’s completely more than enough to rupture their headphones

Because of the way that the skunk sensor gives off a redstone signal literally every step that they’re taking trying to find this they’re just gonna keep setting off that noise giving you plenty of bang for what should have just been a useless Shrieker like machines do what

They’re supposed to it cause everyone to lack but what if you don’t want to be a part of the lagging Bunch after all it’s less fun to appreciate if you’re also suffering along with your friends well luckily the way that we solve this so that we’re not suffering only your

Friends are is to use something like non-stackable items and we throw down all these non-stackable items like cake onto the floor usually that would cause everyone around it to lag surrendering a lot of entities but using a client-side mod like tweakuru we can disable item entity rendering entirely and there you

Go now we won’t be lagging and your friend who doesn’t have the mod surely will when your friend builds another portal then that gives you the perfect opportunity to turn it into a trap now all we have to do is set up a little Contraption with redstone like this

Using trip wire hooks some string and the dispensers that’ll break the portal once they go in that way the portal still works on the way over there and then as soon as they go through it’ll be broken on the other end and if they don’t have a foot and steel or a fire

Charge to get themselves back they’ll be pretty much stuck in one of the worst places to be stuck in at that point their only hope is to find the materials to create a flint and steel from nether fortress chest or piglet embroidery and someone tells me the foot and steel is

The only thing that’s more than they bargained for killing your friend’s pet is an evil prank that’s why we’re not gonna be the ones to do it rather they will be since with a trap like this we’re giving our friend the choice to choose which lever they need to pull to

Save their path so which of these levers do you think is the one that’s going to be able to save their pack yeah I thought that one too but uh not so much since if you really want to be cruel you could set this up also as a fake system

Where regardless of which lever they pull their Pet’s gonna meet the same fate to put it lightly and to be extra cruel he can also have one of the leverages drop TNT on top of them so at least some won’t be losing their pet they’ll both be going to the same spot

It’s just a little further away from here than they thought this trap might seem dumb beautiful about it since all you have to do to set this up is go next to your friend’s portal and then dig a four by one hole as deep as you’d like so that

When your friend thinks they’re running up to their portal actually just gonna fall into this pit and die on the drip Stone and folks the drip stone is the key part here because just by Falling onto one of these tiny little spikes that’ll double the damage that you would

Have taken but just Fallen onto a regular block and come on it worked well enough for clown Pierce to fall for it and in my book that’s plenty proof that it’s gonna work on any of your other friends as well if it works for the best

It’ll work for the rest this is a diamond and this is a diamond emphasis on the italics since by going through your friend’s valuables and renaming them to even just the same name they’ll no longer be able to stack up the same way and so if they have a full inventory

This can get annoying pretty quick especially since the only way to undo this prank is to take their new diamonds craft them into diamond blocks and then uncraft those back into diamonds giving you a prank where even if you know how it works and how to solve it it’s still

Going to take some of their time to clean it up when your friend logs on to this server as far as they know nothing’s changed at least nothing’s changed yet but by installing a data pack like this one by Gaming Barn we’re able to morph into different mobs in

Minecraft much like we’ve been able to do with morph mods in the past except this is pure vanilla your friend doesn’t have to have anything installed on their end and that’s why they’ll never expect it when you start to hide in with their cows and sheep and at that point you can

Get as crazy with this as you want whether that’s hiding in their pig pen and giving them a slap when they come and try to kill you or running away from them when they try to saddle you up and ride you as a horse I mean really

There’s over 80 mods in Minecraft that you could do this with so the possibility for some great pranks are there it’s just up to you to choose which one when your friend goes AFK that’s our turn to bring out the fishing rod since with the help of one of these

We’re able to bring your friend up way Sky High until after a few attempts we can actually place them on top of a TNT block like this now right now the TNT block is a solid ground but it’s not going to stay that way since when we sit

On top a few blocks above and aim at them with a flame bow then as soon as they log back in we can shoot the block underneath them and if the fall damage doesn’t kill them the block and TNT falling on top of them should be enough

To do the job even if they manage to survive this with a water bucket TNT still does damage even if it doesn’t break blocks around it we need even the most prepared if players are still in for a rude awakening when they come back in lodestones already feel like a waste

Costing one nether at Inga just to craft one of these but here’s how to make it an even bigger waste by programming a compass to a lodestone somewhere in the world then we could place it in a chest at your friend’s base and promise them awesome loot if they choose to follow it

Only when they actually end up traveling the thousands of blocks to get next to this when they arrive all they’re gonna find is the lodestone and nothing else and while there is a piece of netherret inside of that it’s not like it’s usable and on top of the insult to injury

They’re gonna have to travel all those thousands of blocks right back home completely empty-handed at first glance this parkour jump looks impossible and it basically is that is unless you jump at the exact right moment and while will have built the system and know exactly when that moment is when your friends

Chasing after you they’re not going to be privy to it meaning that they fall into this one block Gap and fall right the way down their death which the death would be bad enough but they’re also gonna have to live with the fact that they’re not as good at parkour as you

And honestly I think that’s a bigger insult it’s like a lose-lose when you’re getting ready to give your friend a tour of your base first gonna have them jump down this redstone trap door into the entrance to your base I mean why wouldn’t they jump there’s water down

There must be safe that is until we push a button while we’re down below that sends a redstone signal so that a brown mushroom will get filled up a bone meal and create a roof over the water that they were supposed to land on I mean this is basically the same thing that

Dream did at the bottom of the Ravine in The Manhunt except way more Technical and reusable too just not reusable on the same friend I doubt they’ll be jumping down any other things after you pull this on them at first glance nothing looked dangerous about this and really that’s true nothing looks

Dangerous about it but the only reason is because we used a texture pack to switch out the TNT texture to look like other blocks and now when your friend comes over and puts on the texture pack to play some mini games you’re not going to be aware that all the grass blocks

That they’re Standing On Top of is actual TNT and if you think this is too crazy to work Planet Lord use this on wreck crap and crap’s one of the most skeptical people that I know so what your friend thinks is just some regular Stone and Spruce blocks as soon as you

Flip the switch or ignite it with flint and steel they’re gonna be a little confused when that stone starts hissing as of 1.20 chisel bookshelves the newest container block that we have to play around with but unlike a chest or a barrel we were able to hover over and

See what’s inside these bookshelves have no visual difference between the different items that you place inside and that’s where the prank comes at since now we can use all of those enchanted books that your friends stacked up into their Enchanted bookshelves instead fill it up with junk

Books like curse of buying and all that now it’s not going to trick them into accidentally putting this on their armor but there’s also no way for them to tell that you played this prank until it’s too late and then we could run off with the many books in the meantime and not

Have to worry about being caught from this angle my skin looks fine but in actuality we’ve flipped it around so that my textures for my skin are actually played on my back which gives you a great way to mess with your friends and to go one step further and

Keep up the facade if you play in third person mode with F5 then you can navigate while keeping your skin properly oriented that is until it’s time for the big reveal and your friend thinks of doing something behind your back only for you to have been able to

See the entire thing all along spawning the weather makes for a pretty good prank but it’s also pretty destructive and you don’t want it to go around and then destroy your stuff after destroys your friends and here’s how to get all that same scare without having to do any

Of the cleanup that’s associated with it all you have to do is act like you’re gonna spawn the Wither in the middle of your friend’s house but just make sure that you’re placing the soul sand blocks above any non-air block that could be something like torches grass string

Carpet whatever as long as it’s not air any of those will keep the Wither from actually spawning or you could also place down the three skulls of the weather formation first and then put in the t-shape underneath it that’ll also stop it from spawning since the game

Only checks if the skull is one of the last blocks placed which should give you just the right amount of scarecrow to be able to scare your friends it ain’t if it doesn’t work you can always just break one of those skulls and build it the right way that’s sure to scare them

If you know that your friend plays around on Lower render distances then this is the perfect prank to play on them all we got to do is use a fishing rod or a bubble elevator to get them up into the world height and then recreate

Skyblock up here in the sky I guess that part’s obvious so then when your friend finally wakes up from going AFK they’ll think that they’ve logged on to an entirely different server or at the very least they’ll be very confused on how to get down and honestly speaking of

Someone who likes Skyblock I wouldn’t even be that angry if you played this on me but if you set me up where I couldn’t actually build a cobblestone generator then we’d be having a different conversation here’s how to make your friend’s house a homie since most people

Have Windows or openings that you could very easily add some big eyes or a mustache to their build and it’s a lighthearted way to give them a laugh next time that they visit their base you can even do what we’ve done in the past where you make the house into a looking

Eyes illusion where you stand from this point the eye is looking at you here and walk underneath and they’ll still be looking at you it’s a great way to make their build come to life literally making a shop on a server is a great way to make profit let’s see where most

Businesses go wrong is that they sell products that actually work and that’s how we’re going to increase our profit margin since by having a weapons armor tool shop where the items are dispensed out to your friends we could have it so that they have no idea that they’re

Actually buying tools that are almost near broken at least until it’s too late and to make that armor even better give a curse of binding and then they’ll really be stuck with having to wear it right until it’s better end but luckily for them that’s coming soon and the best

Part is that they can’t even Salvage the item back in an anvil since once it’s on them it’s on them another data pack that you can use to trick your friends is this one from vanilla tweaks since while the warden itself would be pretty loud I

Mean they have an attack called a sonic boom that kind of gives us away if you take a name tag and rename it to silence me then when you add that on top of the warden it’ll no longer make another noise for your friends to hear and now

The only thing that’ll tip them off to the ward nearby is the darkness effect which is definitely noticeable but it’s also definitely confusing so I think the prank still works either way especially if you manage to tuck one of these inside your friend’s house then by the

Time they get the darkness effect and start wondering what’s happening it’ll already be too late tinted glass is a very popular block to use now in mob spawners which I think is too bad for a regular stained glass and that’s how we’re gonna fix it since if you use

Black stained glass in place of their tense glass they look visually very similar except for one key difference between the black stained glass actually doesn’t stop the light level from coming in and at that point they’ll be very confused as to why their spot or Farm stopped working since even though it

Visually looks the same it’s just that little bit of light level that’s able to throw the whole thing off but it’s their fault for needing a view in window here’s how to turn your friend’s giant piston door into way more of a domino effect since by just taking one of of

The Pistons and started the giant redstone or slime honey block door and turning it around then all of a sudden all the slices of the door aren’t moving in sync which can then cause them to stick together and seize up the entire Contraption until eventually you have a

Cascading effect and the entire door falls apart I mean it’s their fault for having that fancy of a door for their vault having stuff to put inside the vaults already a flex you don’t need to also show off on the door to keep people out here’s how Iron helmets can be one

Of the most annoying items in Minecraft since taking a page out of wreck rap’s book if it placed on a thousand helmets inside of your friend’s base placing them inside of item frames armor stands and every chest that they have it’s gonna take a long time to clean up for

One helmets aren’t stackable and even the armor stands only stack up to 16 which is itself very annoying and while it seems like it would cost a lot of iron to do this that is true but it’s also not like the iron that they’re gonna get out of it is very usable once

You have diamond armor whoever needs an iron helmet and the most you can get out of these is just a couple of measly iron nuggets which is a far cry from the five iron ingots that you’re spending otherwise so if you have a proper iron

Farm and the time to set this up it’s a really effective prank to play on your friends and with that folks YouTube thinks that you might like this video so see if they’re right and have a good one alright
