42 Minecraft Glitches That Changed The Game

Minecraft’s got loads of glitches and some change the game entirely, so I’m gonna show you the most unbelievable ones that forever affected the game or that Mojang won’t fix. Number One You could FLY using a fishing rod in older versions.

While riding a pig, you could just hook it to go up, totally changing transportation. A glitch that still works lets you make pigs fall slowly if you quickly switch items while dropping, a bit like Dream’s boat gliding technique. Oops. Number Two There’s another boat glitch that’s easy to

Pull off and would be an amazing escape. Just jump repeatedly on a boat that’s on slime blocks and then get in. You’ll instantly launch up into the air. The more you jump, the higher it goes. Mojang have even said they wont fix this, so it’s would be great for a manhunt!

Number Three When minecarts were first added, there was only one type of rail, meaning you had to use glitches if you wanted to just ride up a hill. People quickly found a glitch where a minecart on a rail nearby would give you a large speed boost!

Mojang saw the demand for minecart boosting and added the powered rail, forever changing how minecarts work. Number Four This building glitch makes it really easy to create high walls. All you need to do is crouch, hold the jump button, and hold the place button.

You can build up to eight blocks above your head. Wow, Steve has some really long arms. This can even go through single blocks and can be terrifying when you send TNT to a friend without them knowing. This really changes building, so I hope they keep it in.

Number Five Knowing this glitch could also change the way you use TNT. Lighting TNT on a fence will make it pass straight through, letting you drop it on someone through a ceiling. There are also plenty of ways to duplicate TNT, letting you make some devestating machines.

Number Six You can ban anyone from a Minecraft server with just books. This glitch is done by filling a shulker box with a load of books completely full of text. Giving these boxes to another player will kick them for sending too much data to the server.

When they try to log back in, the glitch kicks them out. That’s deadly but next is an even more deadly way to ban someone. Number Seven 2b2t players discovered how to make black holes in Minecraft, using a hundred thousand sand blocks on layers of signs and cobwebs.

Anyone causing the sand to fall would get sucked inside forever. Banning them immediately. Oh, and it would also entirely crash the server. Number Eight Speaking of old worlds, the file size of a world can become gigantic after a while. You might accidentally be inflating that size with this glitch.

When you open a map in Bedrock Edition, the world file size gets bigger, but if you destroy the map it doesn’t go back, making your world very difficult to download. Number Nine Something funny that happened when adding the squid to Minecraft’s seas, was caused by Mojang copying some of the code from the

Cow. This meant that clicking it with a bucket would give you MILK! It might have been where the idea for ink sacs came from. There also used to be a squid glitch that allowed them to leave the water and fly away to wherever they wished to go…

Number Ten The worst thing that can happen to an old Minecraft world is corruption, and this rare glitch would RUIN Bedrock Edition worlds. After playing for a long time, every new chunk would be made of stone. Nothing else, no ores, no trees, no biomes.

You might find the occasional village, but that’s about it. You’d be stuck exploring the same area forever. Number Eleven A less deadly type of corruption happened in an update when messing with the biome blend feature. From blue leaves to bright pink grass, everything affected by biomes got changed with these settings.

Even the ocean! Looks almost as polluted as the real thing. #teamseas Number Twelve As soon as Minecraft’s Nether was added, players managed to completely break it and make it even more useful. Since the Nether is only 128 blocks tall, breaking the bedrock gives you a completely superflat world in SURVIVAL!

This only works on Java Edition, but would be game-changing if Mojang could bring it over to consoles and phones. Number Thirteen You can dye your dogs collar in Minecraft, but you probably didnt know this Bedrock Edition glitch that lets you dye your entire dog.

If you summon a wolf with this tag, it spawns a red one which can be dyed! Not all dogs in real life are white, but I’m not sure this is much more realistic… Wolves in Minecraft used to look like this, which is a little more intimidating.

Number Fourteen A cute wolf glitch that stayed in the game for well over five years made tamed wolves stand up and sit down while trying to stay on slime blocks! It can’t control itself! Things get even weirder if you give a tamed wolf health boost, absorption and regeneration at the same time.

Yeah tails shouldn’t be able to do that. Not sure that’s healthy. Number Fifteen When you’ve just fallen in lava, this glitch will probably save your bacon. Before you burn up, save and quit, then go back into the world. For three seconds, you’ll heal and not take any damage from the lava.

Repeat these steps until you’re back to safety and you’ll be pretty warm but still alive at least. Number Sixteen A really spooky glitch kept happening while Mojang were trying to add the wither. They said “suddenly our game would start crashing in really weird and impossible ways” “It only

Affected someone after they’d seen the Wither once” “Things started to corrupt and the game would really freak out.” After Mojang stopped the skulls being on fire, it fixed itself, which scary if you ask me… Next is an even creepier, but oddly beautiful glitch that still happens today.

Number Seventeen Because leaves turn white in snowy biomes in Bedrock Edition, a few glitches have arisen. On some phones and PCs, leaves on trees appear red. At night, they glow bright red. This can affect all types of tree, but only in snowy areas. That’s creepier than finding trees with no leaves…

Number Eighteen Here’s a challenge: Get through this one block gap without breaking or placing any blocks. How would you do it? Like this! Wearing an elytra will sometimes let you walk straight through blocks in Bedrock Edition, because your hitbox stays only one block tall.

So make sure your base has no secret entrances you didn’t even know existed… Number Nineteen Ever hated how it’s so hard to see underwater? You can use glitches to your advantage to change how you see underwater! By positioning yourself in the exact right spot, you can see the entire ocean extremely clearly.

Shame you can’t see all the plastic polluting it! Number Twenty With candles being added, breaking the laws of Minecraft has never been made easier. Anything can be placed on them and made to float. Torches, buttons, levers, you name it.

Anything placed on a candle acts as if its on a full block in Bedrock Edition. Lanterns can hang off lightning rods or chains too! This is so cursed… Number Twenty-One This one didnt exactly change the game, but it’s so funny I had to keep it.

Giving an armour stand certain items used to make some weird stuff happen… Slime blocks showed an actual slime on the ground, raw rabbit showed this, fish would wiggle strangely and chickens were really big. Why, mojang? Number Twenty-Two Wither skeleton skulls are supposed to be

Hard to find, but it used to be possible to make a beacon FACTORY, because strays would drop wither skulls. Instead of spending hours to find just 3 skulls, you could get 78 per minute. That’s nearly five THOUSAND per hour. Oh, and you got a ton of xp, too.

Number Twenty-Three Mojang adding tridents brought a whole host of game changing glitches. One of these which they eventually accepted as a feature makes mob farming easy in Bedrock Edition, where tridents can be pushed by pistons. Keep the trident moving, drop some mobs in and watch them all get killed… Pretty satisfying.

Number Twenty-Four You probably know that villages in water have wooden paths, but this was actually created by a glitch! Villages were only supposed to spawn in plains biomes when they were new, but a glitch in the code eventually caused them to start spawning in the ocean.

A Mojang developer liked it so much that they decided villages should have water walkways! Definitely better than this happening! For Number Twenty-Five heres another funny one. There was a snapshot version where Mojang didnt notice that every tree generated upside-down, with the leaves at the bottom!

I’m glad it wasnt an intended feature, but it’s fun to look at. Also, in all versions of Minecraft, saplings can actually grow with a dirt block on top. Just don’t ask me why! Number Twenty-Six A glitch that’s been around since Minecraft Classic is the x-ray glitch.

It’s so influential that Mojang added spectator mode as its own feature. There have been many different ways over the years to see through the world, like dropping sand on your head or using pistons, and now spectator mode makes that even easier, if you’ve got cheats on.

Number Twenty-Seven While making Minecraft, Mojang always try to make sure every new block works with NO glitches. There were so many glitches that they had to add a whole new item to find them. This is the debug stick and it’s more than just an enchanted stick.

Hitting a block changes its state and using it will change the way it faces. You’re a wizard steve! Number Twenty-Eight One of Minecrafts most influential glitches EVER is the farlands. You’ve seen them a million times before, but you might not have seen the monoliths.

They were generated in the same way and went all the way to the height limit. The area underneath was hollow and you can still find them now with the customized world type! Number Twenty-Nine As long as there are multiplayer servers,

There will be people who just want to watch the world burn, and these people have made some mind-blowing lag machines. Bouncing armor stands on pistons causes extreme lag for some reason, and in vast quanitites, can take down entire servers. 2b2t players used lag machines to start “no server november”.

Number Thirty Time is only supposed to go forward in Minecraft. But, it can go backwards. In older versions of Bedrock Edition, the moon looked like THIS when time was negative. Sometimes it would show four alien-looking circles, and some nights would have EIGHT moons at the same time, all in different phases. Creepy.

Number Thirty-One There used to be a bed glitch in Bedrock Edition, which made them amazing for trolling. Building a giant pole next to a bed would cause you to wake up stranded on top. What’s even worse is that jumping off would spawn you back up there causing an infinite death loop.

I guess you could call this a “bed bug”! Number Thirty-Two A few illegal minecraft blocks are in Bedrock Edition. The cops wont come after you for these, but Mojang didn’t intend for you to obtain them. There are holdable bubble columns, portal blocks, white lecterns and so many more.

This game really is glitchy, and sometimes for the better! Don’t tell mojang! Number Thirty-Three Fire destroys a lot of Minecraft builds, but fire itself used to break when it was new. If the animation for fire couldn’t load, it would use this backup texture, which looks really bad.

It was changed to this in another update, which says “Fire texture! Honest!”, for when fire glitches out. Imagine having this burn down your house… Number Thirty-Four Using commands, it’s possible to make amazing things. Someone even remade an entire Pokemon game. However, it’s equally easy to break the game.

For example, playing the ghast animation on a different mob makes it turn giant, but have a tiny little head! You can even do it to yourself! Number Thirty-Five Speaking of massive mobs, the ender dragon is known for putting up a tough fight, but a glitch made it really easy to beat.

For one day, the dragon would just spin around. At least there was no risk of this… (he screams) Also, when it was being added, the ender dragon used to look like this! It’s like some kind of happy meal toy! Number Thirty-Six When you’re trying to get to The End, there’s

A glitch that might leave you feeling a little scammed. Strongholds aren’t always guaranteed to have a portal room, which could mean no portal! Mojang have said they’ll never fix it, so you might have to use a few more ender eyes than you anticipated. Number Thirty-Seven Another glitch that Mojang wont fix involves tridents.

You might know that tridents can activate buttons, but the glitchy thing about this is that loyalty tridents can activate buttons behind walls on their way back. This wont be fixed, so it could be great for a base entrance!

After I show you Number Thirty-Eight, you will never be able to see the game in the same way ever again. Ready? When foxes hold blocks, they’re a tiny little bit off centre. Not enough? The hotbar also isn’t centred. Steve’s body is slightly behind his legs! Spiders dont even touch the ground!

My life has been a lie! Now that you can’t see foxes the same way, for Number Thirty-Nine here’s what foxes looked like while Mojang were making them. Imagine if we had these guys running around! Bees also had a different design early on, and looked like this.

Okay now I’m scared of bees in real life and in Minecraft. Number Forty Another fox related glitch is that they used to wear invisible armour if you threw some on the ground for them. It was possible to use a resource pack to make it visible. This one just stole my enchanted netherite gear!

Pandas could also do the same thing, which is a little bit more scary! You can still use this glitch with commands, even giving your wolf netherite armour! Number Forty-One This next one used to be a glitch, but Mojang have decided not to fix it.

Even if your fishing rod is literally about to break, making a carrot on a stick ignores the durability of the fishing rod! It’s not a bug, it’s definitely a feature… Number Forty-Two Because of how Minecraft generates its worlds, there’s always gonna be issues with floating sand and gravel.

Eventually, Mojang realised that this would be unavoidable. So they added particles that fall from the glitched blocks, to let people know if they’re about to suffocate and die. How nice of them. Those glitches all changed Minecraft, so now you should watch this video about all the

Blocks Mojang HAD to remove from the game forever. Subscribe!
