WEIRD Build Hacks [Minecraft 1.17]

Minecraft 1.17 snapshots have given us great  blocks to build with. Here are some build hacks   that are a bit… weird. Let’s start off with  pointed drip stones. These can extend upwards   and downwards- so naturally the first thing that  comes to mind is a giant demon face! The drip  

Stones really shine here because they depict teeth  in a really scary but clever way. They even drip,   which makes it seem like the face is…  salivating. So here we have candles. When the   community first saw these, they came up with great  things such as cattails and swords in stones.  

I mean, these things are super unique because  they can stack together and also be lit, but I   thought something different. I saw these as little  figures. So here we have a chess board where the   candles represent the pieces. They’re kind of hard  to tell apart, but it gets the point across. With  

This theme you can get even more creative. Here  I have a colosseum with little candle troopers   having a battle. I even use invisible item  frames to depict fallen soldiers. And lastly,   you could use them for just a battle map. These  things can look great in any sort of war setting.  

And hey, before we move on, if you’re enjoying  the video, please desaturate the subscribe button!   At no cost you can make my day a  little better. All right let’s go!   The possibilities with candles sure are  endless- with sculk sensors on the other hand,  

It gets a bit tricky, but I thought of  this. Notice how the little tendrils of   the sculk sensors wave like aquatic plants,  so here I have some sort of basin or pool,   with blackstone lining the walls. Now ifIi were  to put normal seagrass inside of this enclosure,

Aside from the skulk sensor sounds, it’s quite  jarring in comparison to the other colors, so   instead I placed sculk sensors to act as foliage  in the pool. Now of course, the major downside is   anytime you walk near them they activate, but  there is a way to overcome this. With a debug  

Stick, if you set the sculk sensor phase to  cooldown, then it will never activate again.   Here’s one using the tinted glass. If you  ever wanted to build a room full of stars,   but also wanted any ground blocks beneath to  stay dark to keep it as a night theme of sort,  

Then you could use the tinted glass to stop the  light from spreading. The block still glows, but   you don’t light up other things by accident. This  of course is one of many uses for this extremely  

Useful block, as you can see through it, but it  stops light. Moving on, I gotta brag a little-   I made a bit of a discovery. Scaffolding, bubble  elevators, vines, ladders- are no more. There’s   a new one-by-one way to go up and it’s budding  amethysts! Because of their strange hitbox, you  

Can actually use them as a staircase to get up in  a one block wide area. It’s strange, but it works!   Definitely not the most efficient way though,  you’re gonna constantly fall down due to the weird   hitbox. And to round things off, let’s take a look  at the spy glass. Notice anything? Hopefully you  

Can tell that it looks like a pen or pencil at  this desk… and say, what does that book say?   Subscribe to EightSidedSquare? Ooh,  what perfect timing for an end screen!   Please, please, please, desaturate the subscribe  button! Mojang told me that anyone who does so  

Gets to see the next snapshot early! This is not  a lie, this is just a truth that could be false.
