- [Skip The Tutorial] This
is every build hack you need to try in Minecraft 1.20, starting with this one using cherry wood. And while the trees definitely look great, if you take the wood by itself,
it looks pretty ominous. And what we can do with that is if we mix together the
cherry wood with a crimson stem, and when you place them all on
top of something like nylium, you'll notice we have the
perfect thing to go together to create a really cool
infected tree stem. Though I guess the only issue is that you couldn't build
this in the actual nether since this wood would still burn, but, you know, it's a dead tree. I guess that just makes it even deader. Now I wanna switch this
over to a desert scene since I want you to see just
how well the cherry leaves can actually work in this biome. And by just switching out your sandy floor for a couple of cherry leaves,
we have the perfect thing for a really natural looking carpet, and best yet is that the cherry leaves actually don't change
with the desert color map, unlike regular leaves. I think you can see
which one looks better. Now, one of the most versatile blocks that got added in this update
is the new hanging sign. And while it's pretty costly,
since to craft one of these, you need six of the stripped
logs and two chains, you do get some really
cool looks out of this. Starting with if we just lay
down some trap doors like this and then a hanging sign
underneath both of these legs, you get a perfect little picnic table. And I think in a desert setting like this, the bamboo trap door one
looks particularly nice. Just, you know, make sure
your friend doesn't come by and flip them up. It's not much of a table. You're really just taking an L. And while it's impossible
to place these hanging signs by themselves, all we
have to do is link them up to something like a trap door, and then we'll have the perfect thing for our little railroad crossing. Now granted, it doesn't lift, so it's more of a railroad stopping. But because those hanging
signs have collisions, they actually give us a great
way to make little railings for our bridges. I love that bamboo placing sound. And now here's a tip
if you're in creative, if you do control and middle mouse button to do the pick block,
that'll copy the NBT data, and now you can place
down a whole row of these without having to type
in the actual message, which gives us a great looking bridge and one that you can't fall off of. Both of those are appreciated. What if we wanna use our signs
as well, you know, signs? In that case they actually work great mixing the hanging sign
with the regular sign. All you have to do is place
down two support blocks, your original sign on the bottom, and then hanging sign over top, giving you seven lines of space to put together your perfect message. It just might be a little cropped if you type something on the top. Now we've shown off this
built hack in the past, but I actually think this is an even better implementation of it. You could use these hanging signs as a really convincing fallen bridge. And with the way that the chains
actually connect these up, they have a collision box, I
think this looks so much better than the sign design we've
shown off in the past. But since I made this too small, it's really just more stopping you from going over the bridge. Though, given the state the bridge is in, that might be for the best. My actual personal favorite
use of these hanging signs so far is if we do something
like this user did here. First we're gonna have
to build up into the sky. And then with a couple of
these iron trap doors as fans, we can place blinking lights at the bottom and finally add in our hanging sign with the face design of your choice, and we got a little robot face. Just add in red dye and it's
a lot more of an attack drone, which I would be angry too if someone came by and broke my buttons. Now, while it might be tough to track down the new armor trims, that doesn't mean that
they're still not very useful for build hacks. So if you managed to get your
hand on some of the vex ones, then we can mix that
together with our iron or netherite chest plates and get some really cool looking designs. Now we wanna do here is mix
together the opposite color with each one. So the quartz with the netherite and the netherite with the iron, which when you put it together, gives you a perfect little suit and tie. And I mean the invite
said black tie optional, so I hope that means
pants are optional too. And we're not the only ones
that armor trims look great on. Since if you were to dye a leather cap red and then add that together
with a coast armor trim and some quartz, then when we step inside and put this on top of an armor stand, if we drop that into place
on three layers of snow, we could push a block in, and now we got a little book on our floor. And the real test to see if it works is to put other bookshelves around it. And even then I still think it holds up. Plus we didn't have to torture
any librarian villagers like we did in the past
for the same effect. It's a point for humanity as well. And for another update on an old design we've done in the past, we're gonna make an even
better floating lantern that we've done before. Since by taking a light in the center, adding some banners around the
sides, then all we have to do is attach one of the new
hanging signs underneath. And because we can angle these 45 degrees, we can add little flags
hanging down from our lantern. And at that point you can add in as many or as few as you want them to be. They'll even look great at
nighttime and visible too, in case you want to tuck a hidden message above your friend's base. And speaking of a hidden message, probably the king of that is
the new chiseled bookshelf. Now by itself, it doesn't
really look like a bookshelf, just looks like a shelf right now. But if you lay out a few
of these and start tucking in the books in the right places, you can actually use this
as a form of pixel art. And while I wouldn't
say it's exactly hidden when it's the only books
placed in the case. If you're adding some
other ones around it, then you can start to actually
hide a message in here. Though if you build one of these, make sure you have a good leather farm since just that little hi message
took me 34 of these books. Now with all the new types of bamboo that we have to play around with, such as the mosaic, the planks, and the actual stripped
bamboo, it's a joy for building and particularly in desert scenes. By just mixing these blocks together with some smooth sandstone like so, we can get some really nice
color palettes going on. And then you could even mix
up the patterns like this. Whether you're just doing something simple like a wall like this, or if
you wanna go more out there with a pillar design like so, I think really any of these would work. And since with bamboo we get
ourselves a new wood type, that also means that we have
a new bamboo pressure plate. But now if you were to do one of these, place down some raw fish and
then a bamboo mat like so, you'll see that although
it glitches out a bit, you got a perfect little sushi mat. Now in the past we've
recommended using hay bales for thatch roofs. And while they look great, they do have an ugly red band
that goes around the side. And trust me, it's not usual
for me to put ugly and red in the same sentence. But to fix that, if we use something like
the new bamboo wood, then this not only looks a lot cleaner, but it also gives us
stare and slab variants to mess around with. Plus different variants for the mosaic and the regular bamboo type. And at that point, the patterns can get really
fun to play around with, even if what I built kinda
looks like a straw hat. Now when bamboo was first released, the first thing that many fans noticed is that it looks a lot like spaghetti, especially the mosaic block. So why don't we just embrace it? Since with an invisible item frame and a mosaic block like this, we can again put a heavy
weighted pressure plate over top, and we got ourselves
some spaghetti noodles. Now scaffolding can be
an extremely useful block to use in your build, but useful and looking nice
aren't always the same. Though with just a few of
these bamboo trapped doors, we can really take our scaffolding and make it into
something that you're okay with leaving up after the build. And plus it'll still be functional. So even if your friend comes by and kicks out the bottom
of the scaffolding, you'll still be safe on
top of the actual bamboo. Now because of the way the strip bamboo has its different directions, if we add in a few to
our street setting here, we can get ourselves some
really cool looking paving to add to our road, which I've gotta say
at this point I prefer over the path block. At least I'm able to
ride a boat over these without getting stuck. Whereas path blocks, that
one pixel gap is all it takes to ruin it for you. If you wanted to, you could
take your strip bamboo and face it towards you like this. So then when we add detail to the front, it really starts to look
like a window block. Now granted, you can't see through it, but that might be nice if you're trying to keep
out passerby anyway. Now, in the past we might
have compared pink wool to cotton candy, but if you look inside
of the strip cherry wood, I actually think that's
a much nicer texture. It's a lot smoother than the
original, that's for sure. And then with an endrod as the stick, we can mix this together
with a little cart and have a perfect cotton candy shop. And I think the pink
wall looks a lot better as the awning than it
ever did as the dessert. And with 1.20's new archeology, we have plenty of these new decorated pots to well, decorate with. I guess that much is obvious. And while you can't plant
anything inside of these, they do only have a one block hit box, despite what it might look
like with this little lip here. So if you add on different
kinds of pressure plates on top of 'em, we can get some cool trims
or lids to our actual pot, which is way more than
we've ever been able to do with the small one. And I think the one with the bamboo looks
particularly nice here. Or you can bling it out with gold, but that seems a little excessive. Maybe if you want a
gold chain on your urn. I don't know. And while it's still true that you can't plant anything
inside of the decorated pots, if you add on a fence post like this and then some leaves out the top, then you not only got a
plant inside of your pot, but it also fits it better
than a regular sapling would. Seems a little teeny. Now as this piglin's
unfortunately gonna demonstrate, we cannot have piglins in the over world, at least not for very long. But with the new piglin head that we can get through charged creepers, then if you have a zombified piglin that can pick up loot
and give it the head, or should I say dispense
the head on top of it, then we'll have ourself our
own piglin in the over world. You just might also want to
give it a golden chest plate so it covers up some of the entrails. Honestly, I don't know what to do about the double ear situation
on the side of its head, but at least it's only
one side of its head. So maybe keep your
pictures to its good side. And in the new cherry blossom biomes, you're gonna find a lot
of these pink petals hanging around on the floor, which not only look great as is, but because we're able to
put different amounts of them on the floor, we can also use these for some really convincing pixel art. And with how many you place down, you can basically change
the line thickness too. So for all you digital artists, this is basically asking for
you to create something cool or at least cooler than whenever
I was able to put together. Or if you wanna use
these same flower petals a little bit more practically, then because we're able
to skew how many are in a certain area, we can make some really cool
looking curved path design. And for someone who hates
building the traditional paths with variety like so I would much rather just randomly place these down and have something cool come out of it. And come on, who doesn't
wanna walk on flower petals? That just seems so romantic. I'm single, so how do I know? Now unlike in Zelda, these pots are actually pretty resilient and they don't fall,
which weirdly enough means that we can use one of these to make ourselves a hot air balloon. With a few chains connecting it up, and then of course the balloon
part of your hot air balloon, place a candle perfectly in the hole and light it to fuel our hot air balloon. And then you can use a debug stick to connect these up to the pot. And there you go, ready
for takeoff or stand still, whichever one you prefer, I guess. Now while it's still true
that we can only plant things inside of the regular flower
pot, if we mix that together on top of our decorated pot like this, then it fits just right,
the textures match, and we could still
plant our bamboo inside. Or if you want nothing to do with plants, then it's worth mentioning that the decorated pots look great when placed on top of
each other like this. Now you got yourself a
great looking brick pillar. Or if you wanted to, you can use some mud
brick walls on the inside, and when they connect up
to the wall next to them, I think this could look great
for some of the new rooms that you wanna build. Plus you can add 20
different types of variety to the patterns that
you add on top of these. It's either a decorator's
fantasy or their worst nightmare. I'll let you choose. Now with the new seeds
that we're able to get from the sniffer, when
you plant them down, you notice that they
start out looking great, but when they grow up, they look like they're an avatar reject. Another way to fix this for a pitchy pod is to place it down next to your potatoes and then place a string over top, so then no matter how much time or bone meal passes through it, it's never gonna grow up
to be two blocks tall. And now you've got an
overgrown potato to mix in with the rest of your patch. Just make sure you don't
accidentally break the string while you're harvesting
your other potatoes. Now, there's so many things
to do with armor trims that I'd be barely
scratching the surface here. So let's rattle through
a few of my favorites. And the first of those would be that if you took some of
these new shaper armor trims and mixed it together with iron armor, then for the surprisingly
high cost of three netherite, you could have yourself the perfect set of stormtrooper armor. And honestly, even without arms, I'm sure they're as good of shots as regular stormtroopers anyway. And if you do the same
steps with lapis lazuli, instead just use a snout
trim on your chest plate. Then just like that, you've also got yourself
a set of Clone Wars armor. And we're not the only ones who get to use the new armor trims, since if we go down here
and summon in a few mobs that can pick up loot, then
you'll notice that sure enough, we can also kit these out in the different kind
of armor trims as well, which might just be too costly
to give them in survival. But for map makers, this can make for some
really cool super mobs. If we take a set of red leather armor and then add an eye trim to the
helmet as well as the boots, we can then also add a
tide trim to our leggings, and finally a wild armor
trim to our chest plate, until sure enough, we've officially given ourselves
the full Ironman treatment. And I mean, come on, doesn't
that just look so cool? With the changes to bamboo, we also now have a new kind of bamboo boat or raft I should say. And what makes this
better than a regular boat is that if you were to place
down enough snow layers like so stacking up four high, then when you put the raft into place, we can cover up the rest of
it with carpet like this, so that when you sit in the raft, it looks like you're
sitting on the carpet, or in my case, it looks like
I'm melting into the carpet. So maybe choose a different color. We're also not the only ones
who can ride these things, which means that if you get it just right, we can now use these bamboo rafts as a new kind of mob display case. Or in the chicken's case, it doesn't seem like
it likes it very much, so maybe it's more of
a mob torture chamber. I don't think this is how
they prefer their bamboo. Now while it might get
confusing trying to figure out which one's the bamboo mosaic and which one's the bamboo planks, you're gonna wanna learn the difference, since when you put them
together in a floor like this, you can start to make some
really cool crisscross shapes in the pattern. Now you got yourself a
perfect little bamboo mat or dance floor. I don't judge, but society does. (laughs) And that's not to say there isn't any use for the actual green bamboo as well. Since if were to go over to a desert and mix this in with your regular cactus, then we can actually get a pretty convincing
looking fake cactus here. And you can also plant
little things on top of it, giving us cactus fruit. And at this point I well prefer
this over the competition. Sorry. All right, the next one I
was told is a surprise, so... Yep, still hate surprises. But unfortunately for all of us, these bamboo blocks
look a little too close to faded yellow wallpaper. And what I'll also mention is that if you use some
of the bamboo signs and don't type anything on top of 'em, then with the horizontal
lines that they have on top, they look pretty good for vents. And now I'm just wondering how you're supposed to no
clip out of the back rooms. (whistles) Oh, there you go. (laughs) Now I'm not normally
someone who likes to build with a lot of birch in my builds, but with the advent of bamboo, you can actually mix the
two of these together where it looks like the birch
is sort of a faded version of the bamboo. And at that point it looks really nice. Just make sure that you get the pattern and amounts down right. But that only covers the build hacks that you're able to do with blocks. And 1.20 also added in new
mobs like the sniffer. (laughs) Sorry, this was too good to pass up on. I mean, come on, we've
even got the little rascal and the tough golem in here, which is more than Mojang
did in this update. Tough golem's even functional. But jokes aside, there actually
is a use for the sniffer inside of this new update. You're just gonna have
to use the right command. Since if you're playing in creative and you summon in the
sniffer with the no AI tag, then you'll notice that you'll
have this great bush texture to play around with and a signature sniffer sticking out too. But if you cover that
up with another sniffer, we can really start to layer these and get some pretty cool looking bushes. And if you add in this age tag like this, you can get a little baby sniffer as well. Just be careful, 'cause if you place these
a little bit too close to the floor... (sniffer grunts) Yeah, you might have a dead
bush instead of a living one. Moving on. Now archeology is a huge
part of this update, but the brush itself is
actually a pretty nice texture to play around with. So much so that if you were
to get yourself an armor stand and then use something like
the vanilla tweaks data pack to give it arms and pose it right, then we could give it a
brush and some cobwebs and essentially create our
very own cleaning crew. Just don't expect them to work very fast. They're used to not doing much. 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?
