Mumbo Jumbo – 25 More Tips for Minecraft you might not know

I play minecraft far more than the average human in fact if you see a photo of me in real life you may notice my head is actually quite square which leads me to believe i was built for this now this wealth of minecraft knowledge that i have floating around in my brain

Is useful i mean there’s some of it’s useful some of it isn’t that a lot of it isn’t useful but today today’s video is not about the non-useful stuff okay it’s about the useful stuff and i’m going to share with you the useful stuff 25 of

The useful you know what let’s just get on with the video first of the useful stuff scaffolding is a tiny bit broken now i’m currently playing on a minecraft server because it’s easy to do on one of those but this does actually work in single player if i double place a piece

Of scaffolding at the end here you can see we’ve ended up with a floating bit now that shouldn’t happen the game knows this shouldn’t happen and this block doesn’t actually exist if i update this block the old one disappears but i can actually build from it so i can get a

Kind of floating magic carpet of scaffolding which allows me to access areas that i wouldn’t have previously been able to access oh and if you’re wondering what happens if i break it as soon as i pick up a piece of scaffolding i get all of the previous business

Scaffolding back it’s very strange is that useful it might be useful for some people anyway let’s move on to the next useful thing i’m sure pretty much all of you are familiar with the f3 and n trick allowing you to transition between the previous game mode you’re in and

Spectator mode but now in minecraft 1.16 we have f3 and f4 so if you hold down f3 and tap f4 it will bring up this little menu and then you can go into whatever game mode you like adventure mode that sounds fun i love not being able to

Break blocks it’s fantastic for anyone who watches the hermitcraft series this one’s going to be pretty familiar it’s a fairly well known fact that the best way to travel long distances in the overworld is actually by using the nether because every block that you travel in the nether you travel eight

Blocks in the overworld but the issue is then there’s a scary place you know there’s ghasts there’s lava lakes there’s hoglands there’s piglens there’s weather skeletons there’s blaze there’s magma cubes there’s just there’s all sorts of things that want to kill you so when i place my nether portals in the

Nether i like to skip all of that and just place them above it all i have to do is find a piece of bedrock that is at y equals 127 plays a couple of ladders shoot an ender pearl and i’m through to the top it’s it’s that easy then i can chuck my

Nether portals down link them up as normal i don’t have to deal with any of that nonsense and if you’re really smart you can actually break the bedrock i’ll put a few links down in the description if you’re interested this one’s a bit of a weird one but bear with me the other

Day i was doing a build that had an ender chest underneath the shulker box and i was really upset to find that i couldn’t actually open my chest because the shulker box was blocking it but then i found out if i open up the shulker box

Close it and then quickly open up the chest it works so i mean for the four people who are watching this who have had this situation before congratulations you’ve got a solution in fact please let me know down in the comment section if you’ve ever run into that problem i

Expect zero comments when using a respawn anchor the first block that it attempts to respawn you on it is four blocks underneath the respawn anchor and then in the northwesterly direction that means that you can set up systems like this that actually replenish your respawn anchor so if i kill myself here

You can see i’ll respawn on top of this pressure plate here which will activate the redstone dispensing some glowstone into this thing so it doesn’t lose any charge and of course you don’t have to stop there you can create entire quick revive systems that will kick you back

Out with armor get you sorted with all sorts of things i mean this is this is incredibly satisfying to use i’m gonna be honest with you this next one seems counter-intuitive but trust me in minecraft 1.16 fire resistance is actually useful in creative mode not in the traditional sense in that you don’t

Die in lava obviously that’s not going to happen in creative mode but instead it allows you to see just a little bit further and that is everything as someone who has built a lot of automatic bridge builders that involve placing blocks under lava this extra little bit of

Sight really really helps but there’s this one extra tip that i want to give you that is even more useful unfortunately this only really works in creative mode because it needs to use the teleport command but i’ve found the perfect y value for being able to see in

Lava i mean look at this look i can look at all the basalt i can look at all the black stone i can see everything super clearly it is a million times better than this i mean what is that even with fire resistance i can’t see my own face

I’m zooming into my own face right now i can’t see a thing now obviously this 30.27 value only applies to lava lakes but i’m sure if you wanted to build somewhere else you could kind of just fiddle around a little bit just let it be known okay that there is a y value

That you can teleport to where your eyes are just above the lava like that and it allows you to see through it anyway let’s pop out the nether for a second if you want to search for a type of block as opposed to a specific block then you

Can use the hash symbol and that will allow you to pull up all of the things that fall into that category for example log here are all the logs now let’s pop back into the nether for a second if you’re working on a project that requires lots

Of magma blocks for example you know just off the top of my head a super efficient gold farm that’s built above the nether that relies on looting gives you 45 000 items per hour hermitcraft season 7 episode 32 as i say you know just off the top of my head nothing

Specific then the best way to get them definitely isn’t through exploring through the nether and spotting them as you go along is actually through strip mining get yourself to around about y equals 30 or below just start breaking blocks and eventually you’ll run into massive veins of them this is how i got

The many thousands required for the gold farm that i built in hermitcraft season 7 episode 32. once again this was just off the top of my head right that’s enough promotion of that hermitcraft episode you should watch let’s move on to the next one you can now place

Redstone components on top of the backs of pistons that are facing downwards which is definitely a tongue twister but it does work and they can be powered and they can be depowered and everything stays in place it used to be that these things would break but that is no longer

The case which gives you plenty of options for compacting your redstone contraptions sadly if we try out for sideways facing pistons unfortunately yeah this sort of thing happens one day one day i’m sure mojang will finally give it to us now for anyone who watched hermitcraft season 7 episode 33 you’ll

Be familiar with this one can the shameless self-promotion of hermitcraft episodes become a running joke because i personally think it can when it comes to crafting things up this is a bit of a slow method for doing things i much prefer to use the technique fondly known as auto crafting

In my inventory here i’ve got all of the blocks that i want to actually craft up and have left my hotbar empty so i can fill that up and then all i have to do is this just a whole lot of shift clicking my hotbar refills with the items on the

Floor and i can just quickly make my way through this filling up my inventory with blocks of gold this is satisfying now i want to issue a bit of a retraction here in the previous episode of 25 tips for minecraft i said that scaffolding is useless and instead you should use slime blocks

And i just want to say i might have been slightly wrong scaffolding is actually yeah it’s quite a good block but i’m not i’m not throwing my slime blocks out the window just yet all right i still think we should use them but only occasionally use slime blocks all the time until you

Run out of space with them they start dropping off the end that’s when i’d say it’s time to deploy the slime blocks and then you can start building up a new strip from there because then when you’re done with this scaffolding tower you can then break the slime block

Instantly even in survival mode and then you can just go back to dismantling everything it’s a good balance okay scaffolding people are happy slime block people are happy everyone’s happy i absolutely hate phantoms in fact i’m going to take great pleasure watching this one burn burn

Why are you not thank you i got scared then the worst part is i voted for these things i voted for them to be in the game and i told other people to vote for them it’s one of the worst things i’ve ever done in my life i think about it

Daily the good thing is you can stop them from spawning by just afk with a solid block above your head as long as it doesn’t let any light through it no phantoms are going to spawn finding netherright is difficult but it can be made a lot easier using this technique

That was shown off by nem bomb essentially you place a bed at the end of a five long tunnel make sure that there’s three blocks between you and the bed right click on the beds and i mean i’ve got no armor on and that did no damage and i found some ancient debris

Look at that and actually staying on the topic of minecraft 1.16 things when you generate a new minecraft world you now have the option to toggle the game rules before the world is generated this is something i used to do using the game rule command but now it’s got a lot

Easier i tend to just go down to here go down to world updates advanced in-game time off that means it’s always going to be day i’m going to turn off fire tick so that my wool doesn’t catch fire when i inevitably place it too close to lava

Update weather off because no one likes the rain and that’s good enough and now we go from minecraft 1.16 to something very old school this feels like an old-fashioned tip it used to be that people navigated in minecraft making use of the cobblestone texture there was

Some part of the texture that pointed in a certain direction and people could navigate off of that now we can just make use of the sunflower sunflowers always point east even in the nether so if you don’t want to invest in one of those fancy new netherrite compasses

Whatever they are then one of these will do sort of i mean it’s probably not quite as good as it when playing in creative mode dealing with mobs is a bit of a pain in the backside because you never have a sword on you so then you have to go and

Search for one it doesn’t have any enchantments on it so it doesn’t really do a good job at killing things that’s embarrassing because it killed it instantly i have a better solution though and it’s this command right here give mumbo strength for a very long time

At level 255 means i can chuck away my sword and i can just punch things to death they die instantly everything dies instantly at my hand it’s fantastic i want to make that command even better have hide particles is true because the particles are really annoying so i’ve

Got this horse right i really like this horse he’s my favorite horse he’s fast he jumps really high i just really like him i want to make a clone of him all i have to do is press f3 and i and it will copy that exact entity data into my clipboard and

There we go exactly the same same color same everything everything everything’s exactly the same now this doesn’t just apply to horses it applies to anything in minecraft that has mbt data so you can copy pistons you can copy chests you can copy villagers with trays that you

Like you can copy tnt with a certain charge time left i mean you know f3 and i experiment with it once again for anyone who watches my hermitcraft series you’ll be very familiar with this one as i’m sure many of you already know i like to build with randomized block pallets i

Like to mix in different but very similar blocks together to add a little bit of texture to walls now you can do this by just kind of gradually doing it manually but i’d say the best way to do it is to fill up your hot bar and just

Scroll really hard on your scroll wheel and let you randomly select throughout i’m just keeping my scroll wheel going while right clicking now if you don’t have a mouse like mine that can have a freewheeling scroller then there are actually programs that allow you to do this i’d suggest googling them because

They might also save you breaking your mouse my mouse is is gradually breaking this one is something i’ve only just recently done there are certain items that you occasionally need when playing in creative mode that are just a bit of a pain in the backside the best example

Of this for me is name tags because you need to go search for name tags okay got those then you need to get yourself an anvil okay got that and now i can rename my name tag it’s a pain in the backside what you

Need to do is you need to save a hotbar that is filled with all the annoying stuff that you very occasionally need and then you can have access to it immediately absolute efficiency over my entire lifetime that’s going to save me minutes minutes i tell you and actually

On the topic of saving time going through to the nether once again bit annoying in creative mode because of course you have to go get obsidian then you have to get yourself a flint and still it’s horrible set block the old squiggly things portal nether portal boom

Straight through right the way in there now it’s not quite as easy to spot as another portal you know especially if you’re you’re looking at it in this direction but i mean it’s cool there is a chance that this one is super ridiculously obvious but i feel like i should say it because

I don’t see this mentioned anywhere in the controls i don’t see it mentioned anywhere in the creative mode inventory or anything like that you see this little cross down in the bottom right hand corner obviously you can drag items into it they’ll get destroyed but if you

Hold shift and click it it clears your entire inventory i’m sure there’s at least one person out there who’s watching this who’s been playing minecraft for years and has never known that i hope that’s the case because otherwise i’ve wasted everyone’s time and that’s embarrassing and actually

This one could be a little bit obvious too i’m rounding up the video with two obvious ones i do apologize anyway if you put another right block inside your shulker box then if it falls into lava it doesn’t actually get broken give it a test yourselves let me know how it goes

I’m sure you’ve already done that quite loudly multiple capital letters i imagine um but anyway i really do hope that you’ve enjoyed this little video it’s been a lot of fun to create and i’ll catch you in the next one see ya i do often wonder how many people try out the

Ones that i feature at the end of the video you know in the previous version of this i told people they could fly through a wall if they flew at it fast enough oh the comments that were interesting i can’t remember when i even started doing

That it’s been a while though it’s been a very long time i think it’s been like five or six years
