"47 'Minecraft' Mob Facts You Possibly Didn't Know." "Minecraft" has dozens
of mobs to choose from, and with more getting added in, especially in recent updates, it can be tough to keep
track of everything. So today, we're joined by
the channel Block Facts to catch you up on the
"Minecraft" mob info you maybe missed. And hey, as you can see from this number, we are getting painfully close
to 3,000,000 subscribers. It's so close, we could hit
it this week if you subscribe. So if you enjoy the video, consider checking that red button below. It's free, and it helps out a ton. Number one. Arguably the cutest addition
in the Caves and Cliffs update is the new axolotl mob, and while all of the colors are great, the blue variant is definitely
the most sought-after. And strangely enough, this is the only color that's
not based off real life, but rather, it was a suggestion
from user Darkiceflame asking for an Easter egg
to Mudkip from "Pokemon." Though I'd still say it
looks more like Wooper. Number two. If you've been raiding
bastions in the Nether, then you know that it takes plenty of luck to find the Pigstep disc. But apparently, that's not the only rare
pig step in the game, since, as of snapshot 20w22a, piglins will occasionally
dance after hoglin hunting. So if you're part of that
lucky few who gets to see it, this will definitely
establish you some dominance. - [Block Facts] Number three. Sheep haven't always been the
colors that we're all used to. In the 1.4 update, the colors of all type
of sheep were changed, some of them pretty drastically. The light blue sheep looks
completely different now compared to what it
looked like back in 2011. They were made even more vibrant in the 1.12 World of Color update. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number four. Now, on their own, the villagers don't
seem particularly fast. But that's just because we
don't see them under pressure. As soon as a villager is
under the panic of nightfall, these Squidwards can get
some serious speed going, and in fact, they actually move faster
than Steve's sprinting speed, which is definitely impressive. And if they moved that speed all the time, maybe they wouldn't need golems. Number five. Arguably the weirdest
Easter egg in "Minecraft" happens when you mix
evokers and blue sheep. With those conditions, the
wizard will cast a spell and change the blue wool to
red instead, which is odd. But it's apparently a reference to another Microsoft
game, "Age of Empires," where the priest can turn
enemy units into friendly ones. And that'd be why you
hear this sound as well. - [Wizard] Wololo. - [Skip the Tutorial] It's from the game. - [Block Facts] Number six. You can't normally put a
saddle on a baby strider. Mojang just didn't intend for it. However, if commands are
used to saddle a baby strider and you try to ride the baby strider, you'll actually take fire damage because of how close
your body is to the lava. The saddle looks really pixelated as well when equipped on one. They're really cute, so I guess it's unfair to
make them work for you. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number seven. Bats don't tend to get a lot of attention. After all, they don't drop anything, so we mostly just leave them be. But if you keep getting
annoyed by these flying rats, there might be a reason for that. You see, between October
20th and November 3rd, these mobs spawn more frequently as a reference to Halloween. And that's cute, but the
bats are still pointless. Number eight. While "Minecraft" mobs are speedy, I feel like the bulk of
them aren't all that fast. But have you ever wondered
which one is the slowest? Well, the answer is the panda,
though not just any panda, but specifically the lazy panda variant. Without using status
effects like Slowness, this is the slowest possible
land mob in the game, and seeing it in motion,
I'd have to agree. Number nine. Now, while everyone else searches for the 0.083% chance of
finding a blue axolotl, there's one color that's
even harder to find. As you can see when we
watch the announcement for the Caves and Cliffs part one, there's a green variant that
doesn't exist in the game. Why it was removed, who knows. But the emerald color
would've been pretty cool. - [Block Facts] Number 10. What came first, the pig or the creeper? Beside Steve and the removed human mob, the creeper is the oldest
mob in "Minecraft." But you might know the story
of the creation of the creeper. The creator was trying to make a pig, but messed up the dimensions of the body. The pig is the oldest existing
passive mob in the game and technically the first mob
intended to be in the game. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 11. Clearly, "Minecraft's" bees
are an adorable addition, and it only takes one look at Twitter to see just how much the
community loves these things. But have you ever wondered
why they're so cute? Well, according to Mojang, they're specifically
a half a block in size because the team considered
that to be the cutest. And while I've never
thought of it that way, it's hard to disagree. - [Block Facts] Number 12. The unused illusioner mob is pretty scary when it splits into a
bunch of decoy clones. But as soon as they enter a boat, all of that fear disappears, because they're actually quite weird. They shoot their projectiles backwards while in a boat for some reason. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 13. Unless we're talking about
the secret killer rabbit, the bunnies in "Minecraft"
are nothing to be afraid of, though someone at Mojang disagrees, because when ravagers were
tested in snapshot 18w43a, these pillager monsters
were afraid of rabbits, which is a fun Easter
egg, but unfortunately, Jeb confirmed in a Tweet
that it was removed to maintain the beasts' lore. - [Block Facts] Number 14. You can get up to 28 experience points from killing one large slime and all of the slimes that split from it. This will yield between
12 to 28 experience with an average of 20: 4 experience from the largest, 8 experience from the four it splits into, and 16 from the four tiny ones. You'll still need another 1,367
to reach level 30, though. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 15. "Minecraft" has its fair
share of pet trivia. Whether that's the secret texture you get for naming a rabbit Toast or GoodTimeWithScar's Jellie cat, there's no shortage of
real-life connections here. And Jeb has one of his own. As Lydia Winters confirmed, the tuxedo cat skin has
a striking resemblance to Jeb's own pet cat, Newton. So if you have a nametag, you can pay tribute to that as well. - [Block Facts] Number 16. Spiders don't touch the ground. Ever. We all know that they can climb walls, but it's physically impossible
for them to touch the ground. Looking from the side in
perfectly normal conditions, you'll notice that they actually float. I don't know why they float. Maybe the creators just didn't notice because of how tall the player
is compared to a spider. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 17. Game development isn't
always a perfect process. Like, sometimes, you go to code a pig and instead make a terrifying monster. And while it's a fun story,
it's apparently not a one-off. In the development video for
the Village and Pillage update, Mojang revealed that
foxes originally looked like this whole mess. And now I'm both disappointed and relieved this never made
it in the final version. Number 18. If you've been lucky enough to get your hands on a blue axolotl, you know these things are a tough find. I mean, with a 1 in 1,200 chance of finding these water wolves, it's definitely gonna take some time. But there's a reason for that. You see, even though blue
axolotls don't exist in real life, that 1 in 1,200 number comes
from the approximate number of axolotls that are still
left in the wild today. - [Block Facts] Number 19. You're short in "Minecraft." Your hitbox is 1.8 blocks tall. An adult zombie's hitbox
is 1.9 blocks tall in Bedrock Edition. An adult husk's hitbox
is 2.01875 blocks tall. Oddly specific. Husks can't fit through
a two-block-tall doorway in Bedrock Edition, but
they can in Java Edition. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 20. Every now and then, "Minecraft" has an inconsistency
I can't quite figure out. For instance, did you know that
there's a damage discrepancy between wither skulls spawned in this way and ones spawned in this way? Yeah, apparently wither skull projectiles from the /summon command only
do 5 magic damage on impact, whereas the ones from the
boss do 8 on a direct hit. And why the difference? I got no clue, but maybe that's just me. - [Block Facts] Number 21. Turtles turn into wooden bowls
when they die from lightning. That's really sad. We can actually use this
cruelty to our advantage to generate infinite bowls. All we've gotta do is use
a trident with Channeling, hit a turtle, and harvest its shell. Or just, you know, use a few
planks and save some animals. Number 22. Wolves love bones. After you've managed to tame
a wolf using a few bones, you'll likely put them away
and not use them for a while. But if you get the bones back out and show them to your tamed wolf, it will tilt its head in the same way as it did before it was tamed. Tamed wolves can't even accept bones, but still love them just as much. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 23. Usually, when you see a skeleton, your first instinct is
for fight or flight. But if you stop and look
them over, you'll see this. In Java Edition, 89% of
skeletons are right-handed, and the remaining 11%
hold a bow in their left. And this emulates the
estimated right-handed to left-handed percentage
in the real world. And thankfully, there aren't any ambidextrous
skeletons in the game. Number 24. Do you ever wonder where
Mojang gets their inspiration? I mean, since the designs
are so simplistic, it's easy to lose track of
the real-world parallels. Take the cow, for example. Apparently, this thing
is supposed to be based off the Norwegian Red cattle
that you can see here. But honestly, I don't
see much resemblance. And if this is the case, couldn't they have at
least matched the color? - [Block Facts] Number 25. Items are supposed to go in
hoppers, but what about mobs? Baby chickens are able
to hide within hoppers due to how small they are. This allows you to place
a block next to them for a compact chicken trap or
put lava right next to them. Just hope that they don't move, or you'll be having roast chicken tonight. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 26. "Minecraft" has plenty
of rare things to see, but one that was
particularly tough to find was a naturally-occurring snow golem. Prior to snapshot 17w47a, there was a 1 in 5 trillion chance of a pumpkin either
generating in a snowy biome or an enderman placing
a carved pumpkin like so to spawn a snow golem. Number 27. Health points are a weird
thing in "Minecraft." Like, why does the wither in Bedrock have double the health
of the Java version? But a weirder quirk of HP that
you might not have noticed relates to the iron golem
and the neglected giant. You see, even though this secret
mob towers over the golem, both actually have the
same health of 100 points. The giants can't even do that right. - [Block Facts] Number 28. When you create a fictional monster, you also get to make up
your own terminology. So when you're trying to grab
the dragon egg in the end but keep getting interrupted
by a group of endermen, what do you call that group? According to Dinnerbone, just as we have a flock of
chickens or a drift of pigs, the collective noun is
a haunting of endermen. A group of pandas is
called an embarrassment, and that's a real-world fact. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 29. As the lead creative designer, Jeb has a lot of say in
what goes in the game. And apparently, that can lead
to some personal choices. So after Jeb's wife kept
asking for a bear in the game, he told her that if they
ever had a bear of their own, he'd add in the mob, which just so happened
after their son was born. Polar bears were added to the game, and the son was named Bjorn
for the Swedish word for bear. - [Block Facts] Number 30. Shulkers are a downright pain,
and we can all agree on that. But while they're not too
friendly in the entities, they're much nicer when
you use these commands. By adding a shulker to a team, you can use it as a defense mob, meaning it won't attack
you with your teammates, but rather uses projectiles
on other hostile mobs. And that's a welcome
change, if you ask me. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 31. While there are plenty of Easter eggs and secrets to see within the game, some also exist in the files themselves. For instance, take a look
at this elder guardian. Not much to see, right? Well, that all changes when we go into the mob's texture file. Here, we can see that Jeb
even signed the texture in the lower corner. So even though it's not visible ingame, you can rest assured knowing it's there. - [Block Facts] Number 32. Breeding animals is an old tradition of "Minecraft" husbandry. But while most peaceful mobs can be bred under the right conditions, there are two without that designation. Unfortunately, if you want more parrots
or bats in your world, you're not able to influence that, making it even more ironic that the advancement for breeding animals, the parrots and the bats, involves two unbreedable mobs. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 33. The game rule for mobGriefing
is a powerful tool, and while most of us
associate this command with regards to creeper
explosions and endermen theft, that's not the only limits. As it is, if you switch
this command to false, you'll find that foxes can
no longer pick up items, which I guess makes sense. But something tells me
that holding a shulker box is nowhere near as much of a problem as a creeper detonation. - [Block Facts] Number 34. Every now and then, Mojang adds in a mob that's
divisive, to say the least. Sure, the phantom and the glow squid are famous examples of this, and while it's easy to blame
these on community voting, they're not the only ones. Actually, there are four mobs that resulted from the community voting, those being the glow squid, the phantom, the goat, and the fox. So hey, they're not all that bad. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 35. Now, it's not news to anyone that Bedrock Edition has
its fair share of quirks, and even then, this still might be the
weirdest installment I've seen. As you can see, if we use this /summon
command with the tag on_tame, then we can glitched-out red wolf. And while our colors do match well, unfortunately, I couldn't
find a way to tame it. Number 36. We've talked before that
a splash potion of Harming is a valuable asset to have, especially against armored foes. But even if it is strong, it's
not exactly a one-hit kill, or at least, it isn't with us, though if you were to land a direct hit with a Harming II potion on a cave spider, that's just enough to finish it off. But even with that trick, I'd rather just take out the spawner and be done with the whole thing. - [Block Facts] Number 37. Back in 2014, ex-Mojang
developer TheMogMiner was asked to include a tribute skin to
a fan's rabbit named Toast, and after that feature was confirmed, this started the conversation
for more rabbit varieties. And of course, this is
where Twitter user 88bully suggested including the killer rabbit from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," adding both a fun Easter egg
and a terrifying way to go. Number 38. Sometimes it's possible for two hostile mobs to
get angry with each other, and while I'm sure you've seen this happen with skeletons and zombies, two witches getting in a
fight is a rarer sight, though if this happens, it'll never end, since the witches both
have healing options and resistances to the
other splash potions. So if you get this happened, you'll have plenty of time to watch. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 39. Clearly, fish don't do well on land, and if you drain out a nearby lake, then the best you'll be left with is a bunch of floppy something-or-others, though we could use that to our advantage. See, if you take a fish or even a guardian out of their natural habitat and put them on a slime block, then they'll keep bouncing up and up until they reach some serious height, even 17 blocks high in some cases. - [Block Facts] Number 40. Unless you're a wandering trader, the Invisibility potion probably
doesn't get a lot of use, which can mean that
certain uses go unchecked and sneak by in the code. Prior to snapshot 14w05b, if you hit a mooshroom
with a potion effect, its mushrooms remained visible. And it's understandable
that Mojang would fix this for the effect to work properly, but it's quite fun to revisit. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 41. Now, some of you might be
familiar with this guy, the so-called rarest mob in Java Edition. And while this has been
talked about before, have you ever wondered what's the rarest mob in Bedrock Edition? Well, as it turns out, the
hardest-to-find mob in that game is a fully decked-out baby
husk riding a brown panda. So if you see it, get the camera. Number 42. The Ender dragon holds a lot of importance to the "Minecraft" world. But while most of us spend hours just trying to find and kill the thing, have you ever bothered to learn its name? Because yeah, according
to Notch and Dinnerbone, she is actually named Jean, with a question mark at
the end and everything. So if you're ready for
that first-name basis, then by all means. - [Block Facts] Number 43. Obviously "Minecraft" has plenty of quirks that don't make any sense. But even after the community
has pointed these out, new ones rise to the surface. As an example, even though
blazes do not have visible feet, the mob can still make footstep sounds, making a weird audiovisual experience, though it's worth mentioning that this is on the bug tracker, so it might be fixed after all. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 44. Pigs and saddles are not a
common form of transportation, and while they do allow for
a hovering glitch like so, that isn't too practical. However, they do have one thing
against their horse rivals, and that's the ability to
go through one-block spaces. Sure enough, if you're on a pig's back, you can ride the thing
through a narrow gap like so. So if you're tired of
crawling, I guess there's that. - [Block Facts] Number 45. If you've played "Minecraft" PvP, then you're well aware of how
impactful knockback can be. But while it's most useful there, "Minecraft" actually has
a unique use for knockback in the base game. And it's for squids, of all things. Apparently, hitting a squid
underwater causes them to rise anywhere from
a 1/3 to a 1/2 block, which isn't too useful, but now you'll know to look out for it. - [Skip the Tutorial] Number 46. The Village and Pillage update
was a huge status quo change for how we see these mobs, and while there were
plenty of gameplay changes, we also got a fair share of
new fashion to see as well, a lot of which is pretty out there. But as the lead artist
confirmed on Twitter, the idea of something
crazy like a lily pad hat came from the 2018 fashion
shows of Gucci and the like. And after looking at
some of those runways, I think the villagers fit right in. Number 47. While Mojang has spoken out against adding certain
modded features to the game, there is one notable exception, and that would be the
1.6 addition of horses. If you played "Minecraft" back in the day, I'm sure you remember the
famous Mo'Creatures mod, which, of course, had its own horses. From there, Mojang used these models as the baseline for the new horses, and just like that, a mod
made it into the mainstay. And with that, special
thanks to Block Facts. Take care, and have a good one, all right?
