31 Minecraft Secrets You Maybe Missed

– Did you know you could turn your boat into a tank? Did you know that you can instantly mine obsidian? And here are 31 Minecraft facts you maybe missed. According to the YouTube overlords the fastest anyone’s ever subscribed to the channel is one and a half seconds. So if you wanna beat that

Let’s put 1.5 seconds on the clock and start the timer now. And even if you subscribed after the buzzer, it means a ton and enjoy the video. Here’s how to turn your boat into a turret. Because you’ll soon notice, guardians can still shoot lasers outta the back seat of a boat. So if managed to get one of these shotgun in your vehicle

It’ll be a literal shotgun that you can point towards your friends. And the best part, it’ll only target the other players who aren’t in the boat. It’ll completely ignore you in the front seat. Which is a blessing, but maybe make sure to drink an invisibility potion,

So that it doesn’t attack you when you dismount the boat. The Lily of the Valley has the exact same texture no matter which angle you view it from. Which makes for a really weird optical illusion when you start to walk around the Lily. And as this video points out,

It even still works like that if you stand above it and move around in the circle. Which is more than a little weird and honestly it starts to hurt my head. If you were to put string over lava then no players can hear it, but they can still fall in.

And the reason being is that lava only makes noise when there’s air blocks above it. So the string stops that. And since oddly enough the string doesn’t burn, it’ll stay there long enough for you to convince one of your friends to fall in. And if you are that friend,

Take this as a lesson to make sure to look out for lava. Even if you can’t hear it nearby. Much like glass blocks, you can use glass paints to change the color of beacon beam. And then if you stack them, you can change that color multiple times,

Which allows us to get this kind of pixel art that you’re seeing here. All we have to do is just build a shape outta stain glass pans inside the beacon beams and we’ll have a fully visible and fully functional beacon still to see.

And then if you wanna have a break in the beacon path without blocking it off, wall blocks do the trick. Since the beacon isn’t visible while it’s on the inside but it still goes through the top since it’s transparent. A nice discovery for sure. Here’s how to trap the admin.

With this user setup of command blocks, we’re able to establish another portal, change their game mode to adventure mode and then permanently trap them inside because they can’t access their commands or their inventory. And again, because they’re in adventure mode they won’t be able to break any blocks either.

So they’ll just be stuck there to the end of time or until some other operator wants to help them get out. Whichever one happens first. If you crouch while on slime blocks, while wearing swift sneak three boots, you’ll be able to move faster on it than regular walking.

No joke, this lets us go to speed of 2.3 blocks per second. Instead of the regular 1.3 that we’d get from standard walking. I mean, it’s still not fast but it’s a lot better than what we had before. Obsidian takes a long time to mine. But what level of efficiency would you need

To instant mine obsidian? Well, under regular conditions, it takes 1.55 seconds to mine obsidian using an efficiency V phase 2 Netherite pickaxe. Which compares to roughly eight seconds that it would take with a regular Netherite pickaxe. And as this user found out, if we go through all the data,

We can see that with this give command we can get ourselves a special level 50 efficiency pickaxe and that’ll let us breeze through obsidian even faster than creative mode. You probably know that carpets can be placed over string but what about these blocks?

Because the truth is that carpet only needs to be placed over any non-air block, which oddly enough means that it’s completely fine to bridge with carpet, over water, grass, fire, snow, and even lava blocks. And while I wouldn’t recommend using only a piece of cloth to keep you safe from the lava beneath,

As this user did show, it’s clearly possible. Just maybe not the most safe. If you have yourself a flame bow, you’re able to shoot powdered snow blocks to destroy them. Though, I honestly don’t know why you’d do this instead of a shovel or a bucket,

But it does make for a fun pass time. And who knows, it might be good for a hidden snow mini game where you’d have to shoot the powdered snow within a sea of regular snow. And to me that feels like the kind of challenge you’d see outta Breath of the Wild.

You can’t see it, but there’s invisible pistons here. And the way we did that is using a bug that’s in Bedrock edition. Since if you play on this version you can make a piston invisible by breaking it while it’s being powered by repeating Redstone clock.

And then when you add back in the blocks and break the clock, it can still function like a regular sticky piston. Which I’ll admit will make for the coolest hidden base of the game. If unfortunately it didn’t reload as soon as you log outta the world.

But still a cool glitch to experience while you’re in it. If you accidentally started a raid, you should just dig down. And the reason is because a three block hole will still let you attack a Ravager that’s over top while staying completely safe from any of its damage.

Which is good because if you’re over on ground these mobs can chase you pretty quickly. But from down here you’re able to finish the job using nothing more than stone tools, or if you have more blocks on hand just build up eight, place a trap door.

That little bit of crawling will let you get close enough to hit it without it being able to look up and hit you. Both of which are much appreciated. Every time that you break a skull catalyst block it drops 20 XP, which means that if we carry these around

We’ll have a quick and portable way to repair mending tools whenever you step away from the base of your farms. And since it’s not exactly easy to get a bunch of bottles of enchanting. I think you’ll find this is a lot more reusable. According to MoJang,

Honey is the stickier block when compared to slime blocks. But why do these only stick to slime blocks then and not the honey block? Well, even though it’s on the bug tracker the reason is because honey is 14 by 15 by 14, while slim is the full 16 pixels on each side.

And that would be why we can’t put our vines, glow-like and then the rest on top of these. Just cause there’s not enough room. Here’s how to trade your dirt for emeralds. It’s just gonna take a few steps. First, we have to play on 1.19

So that we can turn our dirt into mud using the water bottle. And then dry out that mud block on top of drip stone for the clay blocks. After that we break the clay blocks for the clay balls and then we trade those with the stone Mason, finally getting us our emeralds.

So it is quite the process, but being able to literally go from dirt to dollars is worth it in my eyes. Without breaking any blocks, how would you get out of this hole? Well, silly as it seems, a door’s actually the solution. And maybe the best one.

Since if you place down a door and then flip it back and forth, you’ll be able to hop up the steps of the door and go up two blocks at a time, which could be exceptionally useful for helping you get out of a hole or an animal pad.

And that way, any of the other mobs that are trapped in there with you they won’t be able to hop up the blocks while you’re pillaring out to escape. This command summons a Wolf and this one summons my pet dog, Graham, every single time. And the only difference is that

The way that I got this one was using the F3 plus I command. Since that will allow us to copy everything about an entity down to its exact NBT data. And folks this will work for any mob or block that you have. Meaning they could even copy everything inside a chest

Including the item specific attributes. Which is a real life saver when you’re trying to mess around in creative. And it’ll save you from having to look at the Wiki to figure out what exact tag you need to change for a blue axolotl. This store is locked,

But that’s nothing that a bit of water can’t solve. Since with a splash bottle of water right here, we’re able to extinguish the campfire through a wall and that’ll trigger an observer to open up the door. And then if you want the system to be reusable we just walk through,

Have a dispenser reignite it with a Flint and steel and that’ll make sure it’s ready for the next time that we walk outside. Here’s how to beat the war and using just some wool blocks. Now, as you might know, wool can be used to deafen the sound that comes from the vibrations.

Which if we take that to the logical extreme, if we then place wool around a warden as it’s climbing outta the ground while spawning, we’ll be able to make it both trapped and oblivious to what’s happening around it. Which at that point means we can walk around the perimeter.

And then it’ll de-spawn after time when it doesn’t get any stimulus. It’s a bold move, but it can work out if you’ve got the right skills. It’s hard to notice but the game actually has green vignette that can show during the nausea effect. But you’re only able to see this

If you change this setting in accessibility. Because when the distortion effects are lowered the game switches out the typical warbly effect for a kind of green tint that creeps in on your screen. Which is a lot less, well, nauseating. And honestly, at this point it feels like the effect’s not even that annoying.

A mild inconvenience at worse. The first ever mob vote for Minecraft wasn’t between any of these mobs. Rather it was between the Llama and the Alpaca. Back in 2016, Jeb posted this unofficial Twitter poll to help fans decide whether or not it should be Llamas or Alpacas.

And as we know, Llamas won in a landslide and I’m afraid whoever wanted Alpacas got a real spit in the face when they were added in. Ice boats are great but they don’t handle corners too well. Especially when you’re traveling at high speeds. But luckily that’s where this user’s water design

Starts to help you out. And with this, we’ll be able to travel diagonal distances without being perfectly aligned down the center. Which is a huge help when you’re traveling in the Overworld so that you don’t fall off course. So while another design might be technically faster,

This one feels a lot more user friendly. If you have yourself in LA, you also have yourself a mobile light source. Let me explain. Using the dynamic lights feature in something like opting or a data pack. It’s possible that if you give your LA an item

That can be a light source such as a torch or a lantern, then it’ll carry that around and still light up the area around you. And hey, since we didn’t get fireflies in 1.19 I think this is the closest we got on the Wild update. instead of harvesting your crops like this,

Try a Redstone lamp, because with the way that the mechanics work for the game these crops can only exist when there’s a certain amount of light source nearby, which in turn means that if we were to flick the switch off, brick one of the crops, the rest will then update

So that they’re broken to in the new light level. And then you can turn back on the lights and pick up all the new crops that you just harvested. Which is probably the simplest amount of Redstone that you need to make an automatic crop farm. Ever since the 1.16 update,

We’ve now had support for adding different emojis in the job addition of Minecraft related items. Like pickaxes, swords, and Tridents, and even potions, both splash and regular. Which seems like a pretty minor feature to add, but it could make for some extra cool signage. Especially if you’re trying

To sell these different items in a shop. With your Riptide trident, we can go up to 200 blocks into the sky. And the way we do this is that if we wait for a rainstorm and then continuously bounce off a slime block bounce pad, each time that we bounce back down,

We’ll launch higher than the last, which in turn gets us more momentum, and we can continue to do this until we reach so high in the sky that the rain becomes snow. Meaning we’re so high up in the atmosphere that it starts to get cold up there.

And well, that’s all fun and games. Just make sure that you actually land on the slime block when you’re ready to come down. We don’t need to go from your highest high down to your lowest low. Instead of placing all these flowers by hand, we’re gonna do it with a bow.

Strange as it may seem, using the place feature command we’re able to swap out an entity for a decoration. So if we set up the execute command like this in a command block, that’ll be able to turn our spray of arrows into a beautiful flower garden.

And if you wanna make this whole process even faster I’d recommend using a multi-shot crossbow. So you get even more of a spray at the end just make sure not to shoot anybody while they’re enjoying the roses. How do we make these mine carts fly? Well, the reason’s bees.

Because if you summon in a mine cart riding as a passenger on top of a bee, it’ll actually still let the mine carts fly around and they’ll still be functional. And then if we take after this user and make the bees invisible, we have quite the mini game

To climb up to the top of the base. Just make sure you don’t hit the sneak key. Otherwise you’ll be in a spot way worse than last place. The warden’s a tough mob to kill. And because of that, it can’t drown or burn alive.

So if you were to put it on top of a pad of magma blocks, it would never die. But if you put those same magma blocks under water it also could never escape, because its movement speed is too slow to escape the current it’ll just spin around in a circle on those bubbles.

Which is hilarious to watch but still don’t get too close to it. Otherwise it could still use its sonic boom attack and make it a lot less funny to watch. In the April fool’s one block at a time snapshot, it’s possible to mount the enderdragon and ride it around as your own.

Sure enough, if you get close enough where you can do this you’ll be able to hop on and steer it as you want. Letting you use this for both a tunnel bore and some form of fast travel. And plus it lets you move the enderdragon around

In the over world, which is more than it does by itself in regular versions. But the part that I don’t get is that we only see three rows of hearts described here. And if you ask me that seems pretty low for the biggest boss in Minecraft.

Instead of using fireworks rockets, why not try a dolphin? Silly as it sounds, there is a way to use dolphin’s grace for a boost while you’re flying. Simply attach a lead to a dolphin, swim underwater and then start flying for that speed boost. And if you get it down just right,

You’re even able to build up enough momentum underwater to launch yourself right out of the ocean. Just make sure not to drop your dolphin while you’re up there. You might not see it but there’s actually a bubble elevator here. Because in Bedrock, we can make a fully operational bubble elevator

Without having any water or sand nearby. To do this, we make our regular bubble elevator using soul sand water sources, then block out the water sources using powdered snow, and finally use an endport to break the soul sand. Which sure enough, leaves this kind of airstream that still works. Why?

No clue, but I’m not gonna argue with results. And with that folks, YouTube thinks that you might like this video. So see if they’re right and have a good one, all right?
