47 Illegal Minecraft Build Hacks!

From floating ladders to secret ways to become a proper building here are 47 illegal build hacks Mojang doesn’t want you to know waterlogs blogs completely break the game many pads can be placed on any block that’s waterlogged creating illegal looking setups like this but you can make it look even weirder by placing

Sugarcane next to the lily pads another build hack is this weird new flower because this thing is two blocks tall when it’s fully grown you can put string above it to keep it at its third stage and use it to look like a weird overgrown potato in your Farms a lot of

The time the builds you make look like they’ve been thrown into the world randomly and look super out of place to fix this try making Shadows by placing slightly darker blocks near overhangs or edges you can even add musty blocks around trees to act as fallen leaves the

Inside of a mangrove log looks suspiciously like a nice piece of Juicy Meats um moving on using some lightning rods armor stands and a campfire you can make a super tasty looking hog roast and if you think this flame is too big you can place an armor stand and lava

Underneath for a much Tamer flame if you’ve ever tried to use crops like wheat’s decorate you’ve probably run into this problem however this illegal build hack will fix that water can actually hydrate dirt across thin air letting you make things like these Garden Parts without visible water try

Using an upside down lightning rod with a candle placed on top to make a wheelie tall torch it won’t be quite as bright but hey you can stand on the edge of the rod for some reason most of us know now that you can make a bird cage by simply

Just pushing some glass on top of a parrot but come on doesn’t that feel cruel instead give them some room to breathe with a hanging scaffolding cage like this and to make sure our little friend is as happy as can be try making this Advanced bird bath place an armor

Stand with a helmet on top of three layers of snow then push a floor block and the wall down from above and finish with a slab and some signs another right helmet might work better for some designs but that’s expensive I think I’ll just stick to lever the most

Illegal item in all of vanilla Minecraft has to be the debug stick you can only get it with commands but it lets you do all sorts of crazy weird things that literally feel like hacks you can make strange beds with no pillows white grass curves flower bushes and even floating

My favorite build hack to use the debug stick for though is to just add a little more interest to my creative builds you can turn this strange and boring bamboo Farm into something cool looking by connecting the fence and adding leaves to the bamboo it’s literally magic

Beehives kind of look like empty storage containers so you can use them for extra decoration in a cluttered storage room or attic they also work greatest drawers or a bedside table you can make any English letter in a 4×3 space using different combinations of slabs and stairs for this chart by Cookie Dough

Bread shows you exactly to spell out anything you want super easily there are tons of ways to add tiny details to your builds in Minecraft but one of my favorites is this method of making Footprints just Chuck some invisible item frames down and then Place some

Steak in them all of a sudden you’ve got some weirdly convincing looking footsteps unfortunately you can only get invisible item frames in Creative but there’s sort of a solution in survival if you place a block in an item frame on the floor a snow layer will fully cover

Up the item frame but leave the block exposed allowing you to I don’t know make Pebbles or something you know how to make a Birdcage how about an aquarium this one’s actually even easier but probably just as cruel all you have to do is surround a chest with trap doors

Take the glass block on top then water lock the chest with a bucket of fish and boom you’ve trapped him forever sorry fishy cobwebs aren’t just good for making a cave or mine shafts feel extra creepy they’re also good for adding custom smoke to chimneys and for adding

A net to a basketball hoop most people know you can make a really convincing dead tree with strip logs and Mangrove Roots so instead try creating a dead warped tree with Muddy Mangrove Roots dead coral and hanging roots oh yeah muddy Mangrove roots with a candle on top makes a pretty convincing rotten

Melon if you ever need that for some reason finally gave us another dirt block that’s not just gonna turn into grass instantly giving us way more decoration options one of my favorite ways to use this is to mix rooted and coarse certain a pattern like this to

Make wheel dragster a forest did you know that mob heads fit perfectly on top of wall blocks skeleton skulls also match really well with Underside or dear right walls zombies girls with Mossy Cobble and wither skulls with deep slate walls I don’t know what you could use this for other than making gravestones

Hey you again stop taking my job people anyway ever wanted to play pool in Minecraft well you can’t so disappointed but you can’t make a pretty cool looking pool table by placing signs like this underneath green carpets and then surrounding it with Trump doors search for a build hack you can use try

Building this Hummer hook it up using fence gates on the side then attach some stairs trap doors to place the bed on and some signs to complete the shape you could even change the bed color to match the Woodside for Peak color coordinated Comfort Butters could be used to add

Illegal levels of detail than builds so they’re not just the marking Maps or making a crappy coat of arms take next j-man’s incredible train build he made using banners to perfectly match the real life version if people are literally making real trains now what’s your excuse a water log the leaf block

On top of a fence or walls look suspiciously like a globe but Marlo the Earth isn’t Square actually wow see I think building like a pro is difficult think again and watch this if you’re building walls like this you’re doing it all wrong instead grab some blocks that

Are similar and scatter them around a bit you can use stairs to add extra depth but even add patterns in front to make it extra interesting and just just like that you’re leveling up your buildings super easily the same goes for floors both inside and out spending a

Couple minutes making a block palette can add tons of detail like adding beehives in with Oak planks found mushrooms in with mud and masking with grass outside there’s tons of ways to make super-sized versions of different foods in Minecraft obviously you can use a sea pickle from melon or pumpkin stem

But you can also put a mangrove Papa Gill on top of a mangrove log for a bulbous beetroot a warped vine on some honeycomb for peculiar pineapple and a sea pickle on a netherwort block for a tomato for extra Farm decoration you can add barrels full of berries by placing

Coral blocks above water surrounded by trapdos this works with raw iron to make potato barrels and you can even try making a larger version with Crimson planks below as a grape stomping Barrel outside of Vineyard looms are one of the weirdest looking blocks in the game

First you can actually use them to make empty bookshelves escalators air conditioning units outside buildings and cool looking roofs for your house and if it’s a detailed bookshelf you’re going for 1.20 added this secret way to put a 3D book model on a shelf just add an

Armor Style and under the block you want like this and place a leather helmet with a white Coast armor trim applied push a block down from above and it’ll look exactly like a spare book left out on the table here’s how to make your Pawn 10 times better super easily with

Waterlogged blocks you can create detailed rocks in your ponds with stairs and slabs let’s add a little extra detail and even give you a cool way to get across next instead of the normal boring lily pads we have try creating your own using four drip leaves and some

Flowering azalea leaves to make a big colorful Lily Pad you can also use a bamboo trap door with pink candles on top if you’re living in the future and lastly if it’s a really big pond you’re trying to decorate try doing something similar with drip leaves lily pads and

Azalea leaves to create a huge floating algae mat it’s kind of gross though it doesn’t smell good either oh wait that’s just me my bad back in the alpha days of Minecraft there used to be way less blocks and almost no ways to properly decorate your builds this meant people

Had to create their own solution since Trump doors didn’t exist people used to glitch regular doors into looking like trap doors by breaking the bottom half of the cactus finally letting them actually decorate their world just as much in 10 end it we all know about

Chains and I mentioned a way to make much bigger chains with grindstones in my last build hacks video but if you need something a little smaller try facing two sets of trap doors into each other like this to create a wooden chain you can even change the color of

Burton’s place in invisible items on logs look suspiciously like bugs crawling all over it bugs are by the way you cannot eat do not under any circumstances ever eat the bugs ever speaking of bugs in Bedrock Edition you can place buttons on the top and bottom of fences allowing for extra decoration

But in Java version you can’t do either honestly I’m not sure if this is a bug or not but it’s still kind of annoying red and yellow candles make really good ketchup and mustard bottles for a diner or bar and green candles are perfect replicas of beer wait does someone say

Beer it’s kind of annoying Minecraft’s water can only ever be one block wide meaning you can’t make small droplets or tiny strings very easily however blue glass panes work as a perfect substitute for cases like this the same goes for ice how do we have ice and drip Stone

But no icicles well maybe it’s because Mojang knows that light blue glass panes do the job perfectly but come on I can’t take out zombies with them so what’s even the price whenever you’re building a head in your world try placing quadzole beneath the leaves this both

Acts like a shadow but also kinda looks like Leaf litter will mulch beneath the head I really like the word mulch by the way mulch wait what are we doing oh yeah build hacks did you know you can place another plants like Crimson fungus or warped Roots outside of the nether

What’s really weird is that you can only place them on grass or dirt not Cobblestone this is super weird to me because Netherrack and cobbles seem most similar to me but I guess now we know Netherrack is just like hard dirt my head hurts if you’ve got a cramped house

Like this one and you’re trying to figure out where to put the ladder try placing a line of trap doors like this and putting the ladders on them alternatively if you’re in Creative try using the debug stick to create flow everything ladders take up even less space now that’s Ingenuity here’s a cool

Way to make an armor stand look like it’s holding a sword start by placing an End Rod with a candle on top then pushing an armor stand into it from behind then put some armor on it and push two blocks down behind it and you have your very own Knight and Shining

Armor and since you’re obviously building a sick castle if you make this you can make awesome ornate carpets using a combination of shulker boxes and glazed terracotta hey hey I don’t want to hear anything about how expensive shulkers are you own a castle as long as the colors are similar it really doesn’t

Matter how you lay out carpet you’ll look cool either way if you’re trying to make a dark creepy game try adding shadowy cracks with signs inside if you add this character to them dye it red and add a glow ink sac it’ll create these super scary looking eyes that glow

In the darkness come on Grandma take a look ah oh yeah how do you revive herself subscribe
