157 Minecraft facts you possibly didn’t know this year we’ve covered plenty of different Minecraft trivia and facts so to days we all know this guy as Steve and while that’s an iconic enough name to get him into Smash Bros it turns out the player didn’t always have that Moniker in fact it wasn’t until his first guest appearance in the indie game Super Meat Boy that he was finally called Steve and by all accounts prior he was just a nameless figure if you’ve ever built a snow golem in Minecraft you might have Amazon to thank for their Inclusion let me explain in this Tweet back in September of 2011 Notch explained that because of problems with the Amazon web services or AWS he got frustrated enough to make the snow mop and now you can buy snow golem merch on Amazon so I guess it comes full circle Over the years Mojang have made several huge changes to the textures we know but some old ones stick around as a reference take the fisherman for example here you’ll notice the blue of the old fish texture laid out on the bottom of their clothes and while that might seem Like an oversight the head artist Jasper marked it as intentional on the book tra if you’ve been in any fandom you’ve definitely heard the word shipping come up before and well that’s its own can of worms it seems like someone at Lego agrees with you since in the July and August issue of Lego Club Magazine in 2016 it was officially mentioned that Steve is Alex’s boyfriend which is cute but only until you make the two of them fight what would you call this mob well nowadays we would almost all agree that it’s a chicken but that wasn’t always The case and in fact there was much debate about whether this was a chicken or a duck and when Notch tweeted this saying that there were Ducks before closing the beta that only added more fuel to the fire even if it was just a joke Minecraft has its fair share of Hidden messages while some of these are funny this is just bizarre see hidden in the release notes of the Minecraft launcher you could find this encrypted message and if we translate it it tells us that the axotal are not what they seem and honestly that doesn’t make any More sense translated than it did before baby piglins are an annoying mob for sure and well that’s true in all versions it seems particularly apparent in the Bedrock Edition over here we can equip the toddlers with a full set of armor and a sword and that turns these Bratty kids into something a lot more Sinister but if you try this just don’t give them a gold sword otherwise they’ll pocket that like any other Ingot a primed piece of TNT is a worrying sight although if you have an anvil this might just save your life see since we can Overlap the Anvil onto the same block as the TNT entity we can have the TNT explode inside of the Anvil and because the Anvil has a high blast resistance none of the blocks nearby will be destroyed when you think of mobs you’re probably picturing something like this Or this but probably not this though when they were first added in back in the Java Edition Survival test they were just that and initially signs would only spawn by pressing the b key at which point it would say the text this is a test to the sign each line can be 15 Characters if you’ve scrolled through your YouTube recommended you’ve probably seen a bunch of videos pitching different features to Mojang but while those usually go unanswered there is the rare occasion of it working since the entire reason that the Terracotta blocks then known as hardened clay were added In is because of blame the controller’s suggestion to dinner bone finding a vein of ancient debris is caused for a celebration but if you were to find something like this I don’t think one celebration would cut it but would you believe it this site is theoretically possible since up to five ancient debris Could spawn in any given chunk and four chunks could generate all of theirs at the border giving us a 20 block blob and a new dream scenario Bedrock Edition famously handles some features differently to Java Edition and while that can sometimes be grown worthy here it’s just strange since if we were to Name our boats like so then when placed they present a name tag like any other mod so if you really want to show off your Fleet at the harbor this might be the best way to do it when MOJ makes a change they aren’t always decisive and sometimes that means a feature gets Added in and then removed in a later update but this seems particularly indecisive because back in the INF Dev stages of Minecraft four updates in a row saw leaves Chang to not Decay Decay not Decay and then Decay once again which is quite the identity crisis but luckily it’s been solved would you Believe me if I told you that Striders were fish well looking at one now that’s a hard comparison to justify though that might have changed during development see if we check the strider’s texture file prior to snapshot 20w 15a they actually had a fin in the texture data But since that update the original file has been removed some Minecraft features never see the light of day and in this case it’s a a bit too true see when they were added in amethyst clusters had an unused lit block State and while that sounds cool it must have been Reconsidered by Mojang as it was removed in snapshot 21 w7a before it was even implemented keeping both us and our amethyst geodes in the dark if you’ve been raiding bastions in the nether then you know that it takes plenty of luck to find the pigstep disc but apparently That’s not the only rare pigstep in the game since as a snapshot 20w 22A pigin will occasionally dance after hogland hunting so if you’re part of that lucky few who gets to see it this will definitely establish you some dominance breeding animals is an old tradition of Minecraft husbandry but while most Peaceful Mobs Can Be bred under the right conditions there are two without that designation unfortunately if you want more parrots or bats in your world you’re not able to influence that making it even more ironic that the advancement for breeding animals the parrots and the bats involves two unbreedable mobs now On their own the villagers don’t seem particularly fast but that’s just because we don’t see them under pressure as soon as a villager is under the Panic of Nightfall these Squidward words can get some serious speed going and in fact they actually move faster than Steve’s sprinting speed which is definitely Impressive and if they move that speed all the time maybe they wouldn’t need Golems by this point I think we’re all plenty aware that Mojang made Minecraft I mean it’s kind of hard not to notice but by chance you didn’t this secret might help you realize as others have Noted when you look through the symbols on the end Crystal they can be rearranged to spell out none other than the studios’s name Mojang and that’s probably the coolest signature I’ve ever seen within the game’s code Minecraft has a few hidden messages is directed to the player and the suspicious stew is a Key example of that see the logic behind this addition was for the developers to communicate that lies of the valley are actually poisonous in real life which is nice to know but it’s not like daisies give regeneration in real life so the message might not always come across the Smithing table has been through quite a few changes during its short time in Minecraft when it was first added in snapshot 18w 44A Minecraft smithing table used to look like this it’s a sort of modified crafting table with some different tools along the side I suppose It makes some sense back in in 2014 EX Mojang developer the MOG Miner was asked to include a tribute skin to a fan rabbit named toast and after that feature was confirmed this started the conversation for more rabbit varieties and of course this is where Twitter user 88 bully suggested including the killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail adding both a fun Easter egg and a terrifying way to go for anyone who’s been playing Minecraft for a couple years now you probably notice something a little different about your beacons lately as it turns out as of snapshot 19 W41 a in Java Edition you can no longer see the full Beacon beam when you look up through it now instead you’re just going to get these little particle effects along the side of your screen sometimes it’s possible for two Hostile Mobs to get angry with each other and While I’m sure you’ve seen this happen with skeletons and zombies two witches getting in a fight is a rarer sight though if this happens it’ll never end since the witches both have healing options and resistances to the other splash potions so if you get this happened you’ll have plenty of time to Watch of the list of words that the enchantment table can use none of the words actually can contain the letters J or Q which is weird because even though they’re not used in any of the words that show up they do still have a symbol attached to them which I guess makes Sense I mean why are you’re going to code in 24 letters of the alphabet and not do the other two while some Minecraft mobs are Speedy I feel like the bulk of them aren’t all that fast but have you ever wondered which one is the slowest well the answer is the panda Though not just any Panda but specifically the lazy Panda variant without using status effects like slowness this is the slowest possible land mob in the game and seeing it in motion I’d have to agree Minecraft has its fair share of pet trivia whether that’s the secret texture You get for naming a rabbit toast or a good time with scars Jelly Cat there’s no shortage of real life connections here and Jeb is one of his own as Lydia winter confirmed the tuxedo cat skin has a striking resemblance to Jeb’s own pet Cat Newton so if you have a name tag you can pay tribute to that as well items are supposed to go in Hoppers but what about mobs baby chickens are able to hide within Hoppers due to how small they are this allows you to place a Block next to them for a compact chicken trap or put lava right next to them just hope that they don’t move or you’ll be having roast chicken tonight with the Advent of bees in the 1.15 overhaul Mojang gave us something new to put in our bottles and while that’s nice there Is a little detail here I can’t quite understand if you look at the two textures you can see that a honey bottle is four pixels more full than a water one which is strange but maybe that’s why we can’t craft water blocks like so one of the main features of java Edition 1.6 was the edition of hay bales they were added in the snapshot 13 w6a where Minecraft’s hay bales used to look like this they were called hay blocks and had red bands visible on all sides instead of looking like the texture we know and love unless we’re talking about the Secret Killer rabbit the bunnies in Minecraft are nothing to be afraid of though someone at Mojang disagrees because when ravagers were tested in snapshot 18w 43a these Pillager monsters were afraid of rabbits which is a fun Easter egg but unfortunately Jeb confirmed in a tweet that it was removed To maintain the beast’s lore pigs and Saddles are not a common form of transportation and while they do allow for a hovering glitch like so that is is n’t too practical however they do have one thing against their horse Rivals and that’s the ability to go through one Block spaces sure enough if you’re on a pig’s back you can ride the thing through a narrow Gap like so so if you’re tired of crawling I guess there’s that you can’t normally put a saddle on a baby Strider Mojang just didn’t intend for it however if commands are used to Settle a baby Strider and you try to ride the baby Strider you’ll actually take fire damage because of how close your body is to the lava the saddle looks really pixelated as well when equipped on one they’re really cute so I guess it’s unfair to make them work for You while mojen has spoken out against adding certain modded features to the game there is one notable exception and that would be the 1.6 edition of horses if you played Minecraft back in the day I’m sure you remember the famous Mo Creatures Mod which of course had its Own horses from there Mojang used these models as the Baseline for the new horses and just like that a mod made it into the main stay sheep haven’t always been the colors that we’re all used to in the 1.4 update the colors of all type of sheep were changed some of them Pretty drastically the light blue sheep looks complet completely different now compared to what it looked like back in 2011 they were made even more vibrant in the 1.12 World of Color update clearly Minecraft bees are an adorable addition and it only takes one look at Twitter to See just how much the community loves these things but have you ever wondered why they’re so cute well according to Mojang they’re specifically a half a block in size because the team considered that to be the cutest and while I’ve never thought of it that way it’s hard to disagree Turtles turn into Wooden bows when they die from lightning that’s really sad we can actually use this cruelty to our advantage to generate infinite bowls all we’ve got to do is use a trident with channeling hit a turtle and harvest its shell or just you know use a few planks and save some Animals clearly in a game called Minecraft you’re going to have a bunch of crafting recipes which makes it all the weirder when some of them get removed in later updates take horse armor for example when initially added back in the snapshot 13 w6a they had crafting recipes like so but just 24 Days later they were removed so I guess we’ll have to stick to Fortress chest to get our supply gold tools aren’t exactly known for their durability or rather they are but not for good reason but have you ever wonder just how bad they are well apparently it only takes one Snow Golem to find out see if you dig the snow under a snow Golem’s feet your golden shovel won’t even last 4 seconds before it shatters and I know Gold’s soft in real life but snow is too so that just seems pathetic on May 17th of 2019 Minecraft celebrated its 10th Anniversary and with that if you actually happened to place a cake on that day you’d actually see that the cake model was modified so that it would display a 10 above it made out of white concrete it’s a cute little birthday celebration but honestly who Among Us is crafting cakes anyway when you’re Exploring in Minecraft we all know to pack a bunch of food yet somehow I still never seem to bring enough and would you believe it that was even worse than the beta versions of Minecraft since back then only the cookies would stack and even then you could only have up to Eight of them in a given stack and thankfully nowadays we’ve got much better pockets for our pork bats don’t tend to get a lot of attention after all they don’t drop anything so we mostly just leave them be but if you keep getting annoyed by these flying rats There might be a reason for that you see between October 20th and November 3rd these mobs spawn more frequently as a reference to Halloween and that’s cute but the bats are still pointless if you’ve messed around with Minecraft’s paintings you’ve probably seen this before and while the skull on fire is Not only iconic it also contains a neat detail the background of the shot is actually a screenshot from Minecraft Alpha and more surprisingly a team actually found the seed from this screenshot and recreated it years later which is some crazy dedication for sure if you don’t yet have the flame Enchantment on your bow but you’re still looking to fire off some flame arrows then this might be an option you see if you have a lava bucket that is going to be able to catch some of your arrows on fire but not in the way that you would Think as you can see only if an arrow shot into flowing lava does a catch on fire Minecraft has plenty of rare things to see but one that was particularly tough to find was a naturally occurring Snow Golem prior to snapshot 17w 47a there was a one in 5 trillion chance of A pumpkin either generating in a snowy biome or an Enderman placing a carved pumpkin like so to spawn a Snow Golem shulkers are a downright pain and we can all agree on that but while they’re not too friendly in the end cities they’re much nicer when you use these commands By adding a Shuler to a team you can use it as a defense mob meaning it won’t attack you with your teammates but rather use its projectiles on other hostile mobs and that’s a welcome change if you ask me usually when you see a skeleton your first instinct is for Fight or flight but if you stop and look at them over you’ll see this in Java Edition 89% of skeletons are right-handed and the remaining 11% hold a bone their left and this emulates the estimated right-handed to left-handed percentage in the real world and thankfully there aren’t any ID extra Skeletons in the game the spy glass is one of the cooler editions in the 1.17 update and it’s a nice alternative to OptiFine Zoom when you need a closer look but something tells me this is a bit too close sure enough using the slash item replace command you can place A spy glass on Steve’s head and have it appear smack dab in the center of the face even though Minecraft is a Sandbox the game still has some given rules like how you can only type 16 characters for for the title of a book and quill that Is when tyed like this but through the help of an anvil we can circumnavigate the limit and get a much longer title and I can think of some books that need just that of all of the blocks that exist in Minecraft the only three that can naturally generate in all three Dimensions are chests obsidian and bedrock and because of that I guess technically each Dimension has some way for you to get an Ender Chest on your hands as well what came first the pig or the creeper besides Steve and the removed human mob the creeper is the Oldest mob in Minecraft but you might the story of the creation of the creeper the Creator was trying to make a pig but messed up the dimensions of the body the pig is the oldest existing passive mob in the game and technically the first mob intended to be in the game roughly 8 Years ago on July 31st of 2012 notch first hinted at the idea of a command block in his Reddit AMA here when asked about more minor updates that the team was working on for the future he mentioned that there might be working on some kind of script block which as we Can see now in reference to the adventure mode turns out to be the command block and even though at the time not said this idea might have felt impure for the game all of us who have played with the different mini gamess and command maps that have been made With this are definitely thankful for them the village and pillage update was a huge status quo change for how we see these mobs and while there were plenty of gameplay changes we also got a fair share of new fashion to see as well a lot of which is pretty out there but as The lead artist confirmed on Twitter the idea of something crazy like a lily pad hat came from the 2018 fashion shows Gucci and the like and after looking at some of those runways I think the villagers fit right in whoops spawning definitely has some quirks for instance even though mobs can’t spawn on Transparent blocks such as slabs and glass piston head blocks work just fine now this is not to be confused with the regular piston block that part prevents mobs from spawning inside just like any other full block diamonds are the quintessential rare item in Minecraft’s Overworld but for a time there was Something even rarer see when they were added cocoa beans weren’t exactly renewable meaning the only ones you could get were from a lucky exploration trip and that folks meant that they existed on a smaller part of the map than the diamond ore so I hope those C Cookies made were worth it sometimes MOJ makes a change that doesn’t seem all that important and while there might be room for discussion on that this one’s hard to argue see prior to 1.16.2 puff fish when eaten gave the player a nausea to effect but since then it’s only Nausea one though since the level of nausea doesn’t impact the effects potency it really doesn’t make much difference I’ll go out on a Lim and say that nobody likes to be poisoned and even fewer people like to be lied too so with those two facts it pains me to say That Minecraft is doing both because apparently the potion of poison 2 has effects that last for 22.5 seconds so the time says 22 because it rounds down and now you have to live with that fact I’m sorry going hunting for the different ancient debris blocks that you Need to make your netherite armor and tools is not an easy task and while that Journey might seem difficult as it turns out it’s not even the hardest one in the nether that’s right folks it actually turns out that gilded Blackstone is even rarer than ancient debris blocks but if You’re giving me a choice between one or the other I’m definitely going to take the less rare option if you’ve ever fought the Wither you’re familiar with its second phase that being when you see these particles it’s your cue to switch from a bow to a sword or it would be if We didn’t have fireworks see by loading these into a crossbow we can still damage the Wither with its armor and that lets us finish the fight from a safe distance arguably the weirdest Easter egg in Minecraft happens when you mix evokers and blue sheep with those conditions the wizard will cast a spell And change the blue wool to Red instead which is odd but it’s apparently a reference to another Microsoft game Age of Empires where the priest can turn enemy units into friendly ones and that’d be why hear this sound as well it’s from the game as the lead creative Designer Jeb has a lot of say on what goes in the game and apparently that can lead to some personal choices so after Jeb’s wife kept asking for a bear in the game he told her that if they ever had a bear of their own he’d add in the mob Which just so happened after the son was born polar bears were added to the game and the son was named Bjorn for the Swedish word for Bear Minecraft is synonymous with customization so obviously the fireworks fit with that Motif but with all the different ways to deck out your Rockets have you ever Wondered how many options we have to choose from from well apparently there are two to the 10,136 distinct fireworks to use and that’s more than the number of atoms in the universe which is just insane Minecraft doesn’t have a lot of flying mobs and I think that’s a missed Opportunity so to change that around we can do so with the help of elytras see with commands you can actually attach elytras to certain mobs but it won’t do anything until we set the fall flying tag to 1B at that point we can let them Glide around and launch our first ever Minecraft mob Airlines nowadays Shields are a necessity for PVP but it’s turns out there’s something even better or at least there will be see in the separate combat test snapshots mojen currently has a change that will allow Shields with banners to have more absorption giving 10 instead of five and while this Will likely be replaced with actual Shield variants in the final run for right now a little Banner goes a long way Pistons have a unique way of interacting with the blocks in front of them namely if you have a piston push and pull a block like glowstone it Ceases to be a block for a moment and instead becomes a block entity because of this reclassification that means a glowstone block momentarily does not give off any light during its Journey now some of you might be familiar with this guy the so-called rarest mob in Java Edition and while this has been Talked about before have you ever wondered what’s the rarest mob in Bedrock Edition well as it turns out the hardest to find mob in that game is a fully decked out baby husk riding a brown panda so if you see it get the camera you’re short in Minecraft your Hitbox is 1.8 blocks tall and adult zombie hitbox is 1.9 blocks tall in Bedrock Edition and adult husk hitbox is 2.87 five blocks toall oddly specific husks can’t fit through a two block toall doorway in Bedrock Edition but they can in Java Edition perhaps you didn’t know but there’s actually a way To find predictability in the way that Bedrock spawns and using this information people have made a program where you’re actually able to see where the largest clump of Bedrock appears at the topmost layer and if you’re curious that’s at x 2,783 512 and Z NE 8,011 what you’re going to do with this Information I don’t know but is it a fact about blocks absolutely because Soul Sand isn’t a full block When Gravity blocks try to fall on top of it they’re just going to get broken which might not seem like that big of an issue but it actually could be you see If you’re in a Soul Sand Valley and you want to clear out the lava then this is not a complete way to get to the Soul Sand underneath and yeah unfortunately you’re not going to be draining out the lava this way every great artist tends to sign their work and apparently Minecraft textures are no different though I wouldn’t blame you if you never notied the hidden autographs on the armor stand since they aren’t visible on any part of the item or entity but look at the texture file and sure enough both s and Jappa have their names right here On the bottom hidden from Plain View clearly fish don’t do well on land and if you drain out a nearby lake then the best to be left with is a bunch of floppy something or others though we could use that to our advantage see if You take a fish or even a guardian out of their natural habitat and put them on a slime block then they’ll keep bouncing up and up until they reach some serious height even 17 blocks high in some cases we all know Diamonds Are a great resource to have which is why it’s all The more unfortunate that we can’t Farm them or at least we can’t Farm them like this because all it takes is a visit to a village to find yourself a renewable supply of all diamond tools weapons and armor so you can’t get infinite Juke boxes but the rest is pretty much taken Care of when Hoppers were first added into the game they initially only had a work in progress texture but maybe not in the way you’re thinking because as you can see this only showed up when you have the hopper inside of your inventory but even with that said it is still Pretty funny to walk around with a WP just hanging around in your hand while the invisibility potion effect makes you almost entirely invisible different mobs and players as it turns out there’s something in Minecraft a little bit more all knowing as you can see if you have the invisibility effect and then you Walk up to an enchanting table then it’ll still open up and the book will see the player when you create a fictional monster you also get to make up your own terminology so when you’re trying to grab the dragon egg in the end but keep getting interrupted by a group Of Endermen what do you call that group according to dinnerbone just as we have a flock of chickens or a drift of pigs the collective noun is a haunting of Endermen a group of pandas is called an embarrassment and that’s a real world fact now despite what you might think There’s actually only one transparent block that cannot be placed on ice can you guess it well if you can’t then it’s actually snow layers that cannot be placed on top of ice blocks which is likely some hold over from World Generation Health points are a weird thing in Minecraft like why does the Wither and Bedrock have double the health of the Java version but a weird Quirk of HP that you might not have noticed relates to the Iron Golem and the neglected giant you see even though this secret mob Towers over the Golem both actually have the same health Points the Giants can’t even do that right as soon as you hoe a dirt block and turn it into Farmland then all of a sudden you’re not able to place ladders or torches along the side but even though that’s true you still could do this with signs as you can see right Here you can type your favorite message on it and it’s going to stay on top of that Farmland bone meal is a surprisingly powerful tool and as someone who doesn’t like waiting it’s essential for me but apparently it’s more robust than even I thought while we’re all familiar with bone meal on the Top of a grass block it can also work from the sides and bottom it’ll even work if a plant is already on top making this super substance even easier to use game development isn’t always a perfect process like sometimes you go to Cod a pig and instead make a terrifying Monster and while it’s a fun story it’s apparently not a one-off in the development video for the village and pillage update Mojang revealed that foxes originally look like this whole mess and now I’m both disappointed and relieved this never made it in the final version if you’ve ever worked with Observers you’re probably aware that getting these blocks the right way round isn’t always an easy task apparently even Jeb had some confusion over this the reason that observers have their current face texture is because Jeb kept forgetting which bit was the front so this rejected texture was dug up as a Solution if you’ve talked to a cartographer you’ve probably seen one of these things that being the coveted Explorer map for finding mansions and monuments but while these look like regular maps it turns out they work fairly differently see these Maps generate based on chunk data not on whether the player fills them out Meaning if you got one of these and then left it at home it still fill out just the same render distance Works in a couple of different ways in Minecraft While most of us are familiar with the absolute render distance that refers to the blocks and structures in the Distance there’s a separate entity render distance that exists that’s why shulker boxes disappear when you’re too far away from them because even though they’re placed like a block the game still classifies them as an entity Minecraft enchantments are a great thing but they don’t always make sense and Well it’s weird to use a fire aspect book for light and TNT I think it’s even stranger that we can put mending on a carrot on a stick but if you’ve got the levels I’m sure the pigs appreciate it though I still can’t get over the image Of a regenerating carrot unless you’re a Wandering Trader the invisibility potion probably doesn’t get a lot of use which can mean that certain uses go unchecked and sneak by in the code prior to snapshot 14 w5b if you hit a mushroom with a potion effect its mushrooms remained visible and it’s understandable That Mojang would fix this for the effect to work properly but it’s quite fun to revisit as many of us know Beacon beams can’t pass through solid blocks but if you’re worried that you can’t use a Beacon inside of the nether unless you go into The Nether roof don’t worry as It turns out if you place a beacon underneath bedrock with no other solid blocks like Netherrack in between it then it’ll actually blast through the Bedrock roof and look you’ve got a fully powered Beacon to speed up game development it’s nice to cut Corners when you can and Minecraft’s textures Have plenty of examples of that but what’s weirder still is which they decide to reuse and which they make from scratch like the bucket of cord and bucket of tropical fish are recoloration but the item Sprites themselves are different and I don’t get why you’d only do half the assignment un like their Slime block counterparts honey blocks are sticky along their sides as the sticky situation achievement describes sliding down the Sticky Side will slow your fall so if you were to take a stack of 256 honey blocks and slide from the top of the world down to the bottom it Would take 1 minute and 14 seconds crafting a netherite hoe is something of a joke and the advancements call attention to that but if you took the time to wear down the tool you might notice it doesn’t break the same as the others and the reason for this is Because tilling the soil is based on the server so it doesn’t display a breaking animation like the other ones if you manag to break it that is spiders don’t touch the ground ever we all know that they can climb walls but it’s physic ically impossible for them to touch the Ground looking from the side in perfectly normal conditions you’ll notice that they actually float I don’t know why they float maybe the creators just didn’t notice because of how tall the player is compared to a spider although beacons do require obsidian to make they don’t actually require a Diamond pickaxe to break I know that seems odd and especially with a high value item like this you don’t want to risk accidentally losing it but sure enough as you can see if you use another pickaxe that isn’t Diamond you’re still going to get the beacon back with so Many items to collect it’s only fair we have some way to show them off and while item frames are a staple in the way that we decorate nowadays prior to this Reddit post it wasn’t even considered but sure enough just like the ender chest and the flower pot item frames Made it in through a community suggestion and thankfully so I might add everyone knows that shulker boxes are a great way to carry around extra items in your inventory but have you ever wondered how much as it turns out if you have 37 shulker boxes fully filled to The brim in your inventory hot bar and offhand slot then those 999 stacks of 64 items are going to add up to is 63,9 36 total items if you’ve messed around with Minecraft modding you know there are plenty of files to sort through and hidden in those files with Some sneaky details for instance did you know that axes were originally referred to as hatchets in the game’s code but since Java 1.13 the language files now reflect the current name but since the axes are still one-handed I could see it either way how would you classify a Saddle I mean it’s definitely a utility but I wouldn’t consider it armor Minecraft however seems to disagree since when you put a saddle on a pig it counts as armor but adds no protection that’s why you can see it when the Pig goes invisible but interestingly the Same doesn’t apply to a horse but only to horse armor weird now while everyone else searches for the 0.083% chance of finding a blue aelott there’s one color that’s even harder to find as you can see when we watch the announcement for the caves and cliffs part one there’s a green variant that Doesn’t exist in the game why it was removed who knows but the emerald color would have been pretty cool ender pearls can be a real Lifesaver especially when you’re traveling in the end or they would be if I could get get the angle right but training that Arc isn’t always Easy though it turns out that ender pearls and snowballs can be thrown at the same range meaning we can figure out our trajectory before losing any hearts and that extra prep makes all the difference smelting items in a furnace can be a surprisingly good way to get experience especially when partnered With Cactus and bamboo farms to essentially automate the process while those a good long term if you’re only going to smelt one item the best one to put in the furnace is ancient debris yielding two experience points for grabbing the netherite scrap when you tarle a piston between on and off Rapidly with a gravity affected block such as sand on top of it then eventually the Piston will actually break the block which there you go can even be picked up as an item is it practical not exactly you’re way better using a slab or something Minecraft has Plenty of resources to craft with but have you ever wondered which item gets the most use Well turns out the iron ingot takes the top slot at 34 crafting recipes with planks following right behind at 33 and while I would have guessed that those were the other way Around it’s still plenty of a reason to get yourself both an iron and a tree farm in the future but by this point Hoppers are an essential staple of Minecraft though if you’ve ever noticed an item traffic jam in your Hopper pipeline this might be why a hopper can Transfer 9,000 items per hour or 150 items per minute so if you have a really high efficiency Farm now at least you know why it got clogged up if you’ve ever tried to go through the hassle of learning how to play different not blocks then you’re well and aware that If you place a note block on top of specific blocks then it actually makes a different instrument so by that what if you place a note block on top of another note block then it’s going to produce a string based instrument when you play it Why you’d ever use it like that I have no clue the other Note Block underneath isn’t able to play anything Minecraft sponges have come a long way what used to be an unobtainable block that didn’t soak up any water is now a treasure valuable enough to validate going to an Ocean Monument for but as it turns out this block was even less useful when notch first added it originally in Minecraft classic the block would Decay over time just like leaves when the liquid system was reworked in INF they no longer drained water clearly up until the update aquatic this wasn’t very high On Mojang’s priorities list silk touch is a valuable enchantment to have so valuable in fact that many of us don’t want to waste it which is why shears used to be so great see prior to 1.9 we could enchant shears with silk touch and then use that enchantment elsewhere Meaning if you built with a lot of glass put silk touch on your shears and instead you’ve got an unbreakable glass remover which is cool how it lasted if you’ve played Minecraft PVP then you’re well aware of how impactful knockback can be but while it’s most useful there Minecraft actually has a unique use for knockback in the base game it’s for squids of all things apparently hitting a squid underwater causes them to rise anywhere from a third to a half block which isn’t too useful but now you’ll know to look out for it Adventure Mode Is an interesting concept but it’s not a perfect system for instance say a play tester comes across a flint and steel well without this tag they can’t spark fires or light Nether Portals but they can still ignite creepers and TNT and to me that seems equally destructive if not More so you can get up to 28 experience points from killing one large slime and all of the slimes that split from it this will yield between 12 to 28 experience with an average of 20 four experience from the largest eight experience from the four it splits into And 16 from the four tiny ones you’ll still need another 1,367 to reach level 30 though what’s the right way to craft a bed well nowadays the answer would depend on the color sheets you want but in the past all we had was the standard red and with That meant we had a bunch of different ways to craft the same choice in fact between the 16 wools and six different planks there used to be 3,456 ways just to craft this one bed Minecraft has its Fair share of rare items turns out that there are even Rarer names in vanilla there are only three items obtainable in survival with a magenta tinted name those being the dragon egg the enchanted golden apple and the thing Banner pattern and if you ask me one of those things is not like the others but if you have them feel Free to show off do you ever wonder where Mojang gets their inspiration I mean since the designs are so simplistic it’s easy to lose track of the real world parallels take the cow for example apparently this thing is supposed to be based off the Norwegian red cattle that You can see here but honestly I don’t see much resemblance and if this is the case couldn’t they have at least matched the color anyone lucky enough to get their hands on the heart of the sea item likely put it into crafting a conduit but unless you fully powered it you Might not have seen that it’s still there when activated the conduit displays a heart of the sea at the center of its model then when all 42 blocks necessary have been placed the heart opens like an orange eye as you can see here at some point I think we’ve All heard Minecraft’s music discs and even though some are better than others they’ve each got a unique identity and I’d say that dis 11 definitely fits that description it’s a bit of a chore to listen to it all you might not have noticed that it lasts for 1 minute 11 Seconds and 111 milliseconds exactly all of it absolutely Dreadful surprisingly even though you’re able to break your Fall by Falling on top of a water logged block waterfill cauldrons are a different story as you can see here if we put side by side a water log chest And a water filled cauldron one’s going to save you and the other one doesn’t make any sense why don’t wither skeletons carry bows like the others well this might be our answer since when we spawn in one of these with a bow like so the the skeleton start shooting fire Arrows instead and thankfully the developers decided not to add another fire shooting mob to the nether but for custom difficulty this would fit right in anyone who’s ever used the composter block knows that it can sometimes be a ripoff but as it turns out it’s not just You that it’s ripping off as a matter of fact as soon as you put an item inside the composter you’ll see that the filling texture is the same as podel according to Mojang’s official write up they don’t currently plan to add in more community-made mods or features but While that’s true for now it wasn’t always the case and in fact the sound you hear here was actually inspired by a third party while playing on the PVP server project Aries dinnerbone noticed the high-pitch sound and added it into the bows we use today when you’re Talking about items mob drops are sure to come up but figuring out what those mob drops are is its own problem and Notch definitely came across that so that’s why in the development stage for Java Edition zombies used to drop feathers and according to the developer he didn’t know what else they should Drop and it wasn’t until the 1.8 beta pre-release that he finally got his replacement well there are plenty of Easter eggs and secrets to see within the game some also exists in the files themselves for instance take a look at this Elder Guardian not much to see Right well that all changes when we go into the mob’s texture file here we can see that Jeb even signed the texture in the lower corner so even though it’s not visible in game you can rest assured knowing it’s there even though barels were first added to Minecraft Java Edition roughly a month before bedrock in snapshot 18w 44A in the files of a Bedrock Edition beta version lies some interesting unused textures apparently at some point in development there were plans to add variants of the barrel both and filled with fish of all of the mobs in Minecraft there’s only one that Cannot trample Turtle X as it turns out bats are the only ones that if they fly on top of a turtle egg they’re not going to crack it so for what it’s worth if you ever want to mix together your turtle storage with your bat farm it’s Not exactly a workplace Hazard every now and then Mojang added a mob that’s divisive to say the least sure the Phantom and the glow squid are famous examples of this and while it’s easy to blame these on community voting they’re not the only ones actually there are four mobs that resulted from the Community voting those being the glow squid the Phantom the goat and the fox so hey they’re not all that bad now if you’ve ever played Minecraft during Halloween night then you’re well and aware that some mobs on that day will be able to spawn with Jackal lanterns on Their heads as it turns out there’s actually 13 different mobs in the game that are able to wear this which is good because this is probably the only time you’re ever going to get to see them throwing a splash potion is an exact science and some of you likely know that It’s better to land one of these on your Noggin than it is on your feet but is the same true for bottles of enchanting well when you test both ways it’s a myth as it turns out it doesn’t make any difference where you throw these so pick Your favorite and it’ll work just the same getting a full set of 15 bookshelves is almost the prerequisite for getting an enchantment table so obviously this is on your to-do list but how much does it cost after running the numbers it takes 90 wooden planks 45 Leather and 135 paper to make all the bookshelves necessary for a level 30 enchantment throughout Minecraft history the jungle wood door has been through a couple of different changes as you can see in 1.16 the current texture that we have when we have this in our inventory Does not match up to the door when it’s placed down and if that inconsistency is going to bug you for the rest of the day then don’t sweat it because in the 1.17 update they’re actually changing it in the snapshot nowadays Ender Chest stick out as the safest way to hide your Diamonds and neit but their original implementation told a different story in their first appearance during snapshot 12 w21 a every player on a server can access the same Ender Chest inventory for a Time the safest option in Minecraft was the total opposite arguably the cutest Edition in the caves And cliffs update is the new Axel mob and while all of the colors are great the blue variant is definitely the most sought after and strangely enough this is the only color that’s not based off real life but rather it was a suggestion from user dark ice flame asking for an Easter egg to Mudkip from Pokémon though I’d still say it looks more like Whooper if you want to buff your crossbow then a quick charge enchantment is a must have and hey if you want more Minecraft facts then a subscriptions a must have too thank you by the way but even with that I wouldn’t push it too far because it turns out that quick charge charge level six and above pauses the animation on the first frame since the resulting reload time is now negative the game can’t even start the animation to load but even if it could it would take over 69 years to finish that and at that point your opponent’s probably moved on if you can get your hands on a tote of undying it’s an invaluable resource to have but it does mean we give up an off-hand slot to make it work though for what it’s worth the 3DS version of Minecraft lets the totem work in any of the hotb bar slots since there’s no offhand feature in that version which is nice but I’d rather stick to PC bit in the nether don’t exactly mix well that’s just intentional game design no that’s unfortunate since it turns out beds Might just be what you need for nether safety of course you can only test this in the Overworld but when you sleep in a bed the player cannot be damaged by lava when you wake up you might not be as lucky back in 2014 Microsoft famously Purchased Mojang for a chunk of cash so while we’re all familiar with the Windows 10 version of Minecraft did you know that there were Minecraft versions of Windows 10 sure enough five updates for Windows 10 were code named Redstone which is cute but I’m not sure it’s worth $2.5 billion for that reference Wolves Love Bones after you’ve managed to tame a wolf using a few bones you’ll likely put them away and not use them for a while but if you get the bones back out and show them to your tamed wolf it will tilt its head in the same Way as it did before it was tamed tamed wolves can’t even accept bones but still love them just as much if you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on a blue aelott you know these things are tough find I mean with a one in 1200 chance of finding these water wolves it’s Definitely going to take some time but there’s a reason for that you see even though blue aelott don’t exist in real life that 1 in 1200 number comes from the approximate number of axotal that are still left in the wild today we’ve talked before that a splash potion of Harming is a valuable asset to have especially against armored foes but even if it is strong it’s not exactly a oneit kill or at least it isn’t with us though if you were to land a direct hit with a harming two potion on a cave spider That’s just enough to finish it off but even with that trick I’d rather just take out the spawner and be done with the whole thing Minecraft’s apples have a bit of a weird history for starters the original texture wasn’t even for Minecraft but rather a previous game by The games Creator called legend of the chambered and while that texture was changed in the texture update that’s not the end of this guy’s association with apples since to this day if you kill him he’ll drop an apple with his other items as of 1.16 the current longest name for A block is polished Blackstone pressure plate which is actually tied for cracked polished Blackstone bricks both of which being 34 characters long with spaces and 31 without but of course this is excluding the education Edition because there it’s not a Fair competition clearly TNT can pack quite a punch but What we can do in damage here gets even more serious when we add it to a cart as it turns out all it takes us a direct hit from three merged TNT Minecarts to take a full diamond armor player right down to half a heart and though other Methods can deal more damage I’d rather just spend the ingots and get this Chief fix you don’t have to play Creative Mode for long to come across these spawn eggs I mean there’s a lot of them but while we’re familiar with how they look nowadays they didn’t always seem that Way in fact back in the snapshots of 1.1 they were each sourced from one file that was tinted for the variations and I’m glad they decided to change unfortunately the Bedrock Edition doesn’t allow for all items to be held in the off hand but that doesn’t mean Every off-hand item has a use take the NAU shells for example for us they do nothing in either slot but the reason they work like this is because the drown mobs have to hold them like so so it is useless but it’s at least a fun detail Landing a shot with a bow and arrow is easier said than done however it looks like the game might be partially to blame see if you were to stand close to a wall and fire off several shots without moving you’ll notice that the arrows fall slightly to the right of Your Crosshair and if you change to left-handed in the settings it’s the opposite which I guess makes some sense when chains were added to Minecraft they brought around a lot of discussion but one topic that doesn’t get talked about enough is their blast resistance even though chains are made of less iron just Two iron nuggets and an Ingot they have the same blast resistance as a full block of iron proving once and for all that it’s never about the amount of iron but how you use it now it’s not news to anyone that Bedrock Edition has its fair Share of quirks and even then this still might be the weirdest installment I’ve seen as you can see if we use this summon command with a tag on teame then we can get a glitched out red wolf and while our colors do match well unfortunately I couldn’t find a way to Tame it basically everything in Minecraft has more of a use than the furnace mine carts and for this reason Mojang explicitly didn’t add it to the Bedrock and 3DS versions of the game Jeb even mentioned removing them outright from the Java Edition so unless they decide to make these trains actually Usable it’s only a short while before this joins the Forgotten ranks of Beast Boy and frog girl the game rule for Mob griefing is a powerful tool and while most of us associate this command with regards to creeper explosions and Enderman theft that’s not the only Limits as it is if you switch this command to false you’ll find that foxes can no longer pick up items which I guess makes sense but something tells me that holding a Shuler box is nowhere near as much of a problem as a creeper detonation in Bedrock Edition it’s Entirely possible to relight an unlit campfire just by lighting yourself on fire no joke by going over and stop dropping and rolling right on top of an unlit pile of Ashes all the all of a sudden it’s lit up like a Christmas tree now the only question is why doesn’t This happen in Java Edition I guess we handle fire safety a little different around here well crafting a stone cutter instead of a crafting table does seem more expensive when making stairs using a stone cutter it requires just one block per stair crafted where a crafting table costs 1.5 blocks per stair for Things like Cobblestone this doesn’t seem to make much of a difference but for harder to obtain blocks such as quartz and prismarine the savings add up quickly the Ender Dragon holds a lot of importance to the Minecraft world but while most of us spend hours just trying To find and kill the thing have you ever bothered to learn its name because yeah according to Notch and dinner bone she is actually named Jean with a question mark at the end and everything so if you’re ready for that first name basis then by all means if you’ve ever had a Physics lesson you’ve heard that gravity in theory accelerates all objects at the same rate in Minecraft however that’s verifiably false to test this if a player stands on a stack of sand or gravel and then the stack Falls onto a non-solid block like a torch then the Player will fall fast enough to go through the stack and even take enough damage to die obvious obvously Minecraft has plenty of quirks that don’t make any sense but even after the community has pointed these out new ones rise to the surface as an example even though blazes Do not have visible feet the mob can still make footstep sounds making a weird audio visual experience though it’s worth mentioning that this is on the bug tracker so it might be fixed after all even though some servers by default use spawn protection to protect against their spawn point as it turns Out if you’re not an admin there still is a little bit of Havoc that you’re able to do there sure enough if you use bone meal on the grass and spawn protected area it’s still going to produce grass and flowers every now and then Minecraft has an inconsistency I Can’t quite figure out for instance did you know that there’s a damage discrepancy between wither skulls spawn in this way and one spawn in this way yeah apparently Wither skull projectiles from the summon command only do five magic damage on impact whereas the ones from the boss do eight on a direct hit And why the difference I got no clue but maybe that’s just me if everybody knows that you’re able to color Beacon beams with stained glass more interestingly however stacking them on top of each other opens up a whole bunch of new colors this means that there are 12 B326 391 unique colors finding the best fuel source can be something of a math problem but if you’re on Bedrock you should know that bowls are a more efficient fuel source than sticks since six planks craft into eight bowls to smelt eight items instead of crafting 12 Sticks to smelt only six and this will be a big help for when you’re trying to smelt down the stem blocks next time you’re in the nether the unused illusion mob is pretty scary when it splits into a bunch of decoy clones but as soon as They enter a boat all of that fear disappears because they’re actually quite weird they shoot their projectiles backwards while in a boat for some reason for stained glass and stained glass paints were added into Minecraft there was actually a similar block named tinted glass that existed in the April Fool’s version 2.0 update so what started out as a joke actually ended up being Mojang previewing a feature and as a matter of fact the texture that was used in the April fools update was actually used for the block before the stained glass got its own texture if the Texture for endstone looks familiar to you then there’s a reason for it as you can see the endstone texture is actually an inversion geometric translation and then a recoloration of the Cobblestone texture and you know what good on Mojang they were able to cut corners and I Didn’t even notice until it was pointed out and with that folks thank you for watching this long compilation
