Swimming Bird – Minecraft 1.8.4 Update: Exploit Fixes, Safer Portals, Server Crash, Player Heads, Item Dupe Glitch

Hey guys it’s Adam e ke swimming bird and welcome to Minecraft 1.8 point for the update that popped out of nowhere the version you didn’t even know you needed but with good reason the developers at Mojang have discovered three major exploits that they need to patch ASAP but luckily you don’t need to

Freak out they are not going to affect most people but we’re gonna cover those as well as some of the other changes in 184 so let’s get into it now the first exploit involves these little guys player heads now in the past you could upload a skin to a different

Site other than Mojang skin servers and pull the URL down to give yourself one of these player heads but now Mojang has changed it to where you have to use their official skin servers and they’ve been archiving every skin people have ever used they have something like 25

Million skins that they said they’re never gonna delete so if you want to use this method it’s a bit easier if you’ve never summoned in a player skull it’s it’s pretty easy and you can decorate your world with things like loaves of bread Turtles burgers fries birds up in

The sky all that good stuff so I’ve got a link in the description to a site that I found that lets you just put in the player name that you want to pull the skin from give it a little nickname like I made like Megaman 1up things like that

Surgery’s helmet and you can pull that down and once you change your skin it will always stay the the head will stay the same even if you change your skin so I changed it to Megaman made this one and I change it back to mine and it is

Still here so yeah you can do that if you want to decorate your world this way and it’s pretty simple now a couple other exploits that were big these are the ones that really prompted this patch there was a way to freeze servers and starve them of memory so they crashed

But both of those were fixed this was something that was actually brought to their attention a couple of years ago if fell through the cracks I think they actually fixed it but it was reverted in some updates but now they have finally sorted it out for good so hopefully we

Don’t have to worry about that anymore with servers that use 180 for now a few other things pets were following people even when they were in spectator mode and that’s when you want to be unseen so that’s not good vines weren’t spreading around corners correctly nether portals

Like this one over here that is super long actually placed players in front of the portal which sometimes you would just step right into lava or fire and die there’s a little bunny that went through here you don’t want to be in here buddy there is a lot of things that can kill

You so yeah now when you go through a portal you will stand right where you spawn in on the portal you won’t go one block outside of it so you don’t have to worry about stepping right into lava or off a cliff or whatever there was an item

Duplication glitch and then there was an issue where if you changed your name and you joined a server it would make this message pop up a bunch of times so a lot of minor bugs for the most point for all the miners out there and left sided

Wrong but I meant miner with an e we this is the only update that we’re probably gonna get until 1.9 I’m guessing unless any other major bugs pop up this should be it and hopefully we will get 1.9 snapshot soon there’s been some cryptic hints from developer sage

That we might get the 1.9 snapshot starting May 23rd and I really hope we get some before that cuz that’s still a while off it’s more than a month and there’s also a cryptic hint that we might not get 1.9 until December right before Christmas but I don’t know that

Could just be hinting at something else we’ll have to find out thank you guys for watching please leave a like if you enjoyed this I will be back to cover the 1.9 snapshots of course with some other minecraft videos along the way I’ll see you guys next time though for more

Minecraft updates goodbye
