- [Narrator 1] Did you know
pillagers used to look like this or that it's possible for
an iron golem to turn evil? And today we're joined by Block Facts to see the 47 mob facts
who possibly didn't know. NA the YouTube analytics
magician told me that no one has ever subscribed to the channel with their left ring finger. And honestly, I don't
know why anyone would, but if you're up to that challenge place your digitus medicinalis on that red sub button down below. It's free and helps out a ton! Zombie piglins used to look like this. Back when they were first announced, they had exposed red
flesh in their texture and they didn't hold any kind of weapon, which made them look a
lot more like zombies than we're used to. But that version of the piglin
never made it into the game and they were changed to a green color before it's release. Zombie pigmen weren't the only nether mob that got a makeover though. During development, blazes
originally had no eyes and they just float around
without any expression. But according to Jeb, this made it look more
like yellow rock than a mob so the eyes were added in
to give it more personality. - [Narrator 2] Minecraft
ghosts look like ghosts, but they're actually cats, at least according to C418, one of the games composers. In a Reddit AMA, they confirmed that the
sounds for the ghasts came from their pet cat, who made the noises when it would get
disturbed while sleeping. - [Narrator 1] Baby
chickens are really small, but they're encoded like they are. See, even though these mobs are less than a half a block in size, they still will walk through
half block tall spaces, meaning you don't have to worry about any of these mobs
escaping through the slab. Even if it doesn't make much sense. You know how a chicken could keep running with it's head cut off. Well, the same does happen
in Minecraft, kind of. See if you were to kill a chicken where it falls off a cliff, its corpse will fall
slower than any other. And additionally, it'll still
flap its wings after dying. - [Narrator 2] When they
were first shown off, piglins would raise their arms like this to attack you when angry making them look a lot
more like zombie pigmen than the piglins we're used to. However, this seems to have been removed before any net update snapshots came out - [Narrator 1] From afar, this might look confusing, but up close, you'll notice that this
mess of white lines is actually an iron golem. See when an iron golem cracks
as its health goes down, those cracks show up when
it's got the glow in effect, giving you even more of a reminder to toss it an iron ingot to heal it up. This wolf might be angry,
but it'll never hurt me. And the reason is that
when in peaceful mode wolves cannot get aggressive. And in fact, the only mob
capable of hurting you in peaceful mode is a
llama that spits on you. Nothing else works. If you watch closely this squids arms will start to move slower and slower and why this happens,
because in Bedrock only, a squids arms show how
much oxygen it has left. So when 15 seconds pass and it's out of air in the tank, its arms will stop and it'll suffocate, which seems like a lot of effort to code for such a pointless mob. - [Narrator 2] You can
never outrun this slime. And the reason is that a slime size determines its movement speed. So a size eight slime will
always outpace a player, if you're not using any potion effects - [Narrator 1] The phantom
used to look like nether mop but that's the problem. It was never meant to be. So because of this Mojang
switches red texture to the darker purple
colors that we see today. - [Narrator 2] This fox is
too small for its own good. And that becomes immediately apparent when you put it in water. Sure it's cute, but it's so small that
even when it's swimming, it'll start drowning. And you can notice this when a baby fox tries to hunt a fish. It'll likely die before
it gets to the food. - [Narrator 2] Back in the beta, Minecraft's enderman
used to look like this. They had green eyes instead of purple ones and they admitted a kind of black smoke. Oh, and they also had
the same sound effect that the zombie did, which is confusing to hear nowadays. But luckily they weren't
very strong back then so it wasn't that big of a
threat if you heard either one - [Narrator 2] This is how we see the end and this is how an enderman sees the end. If you go into spectator mode and choose an enderman like so, it applies a filter to
invert all the colors we see, meaning they see the end
as an island of blue stone on a sea of white with them in a and the enderdragon
also having green eyes. Oh, and to them cobblestone
looks like end stone does to us. - [Narrator 1] There is no
limit to the amount of bats that can hang from a single block, which sounds unimportant, but when you execute it like this, it becomes quickly noticeable. And it can make for a pretty serious prank to surprise your friends
down in the caves. Though since it's impossible
to tie bats to a lead, I don't know how you'd
get all of them together to do this without a spawn egg. - [Narrator 2] Mooshrooms are a ripoff or they were back in beta. See back in the pre-release, if you right clicked a
mooshroom with a stack of bowls there was a bug that
they'd all condensed down into only one bowl of mushroom stew. And if this wasn't changed, I'm not sure many of us would try to find these in
a mushroom fields biomes. - [Narrator 1] Do you
remember when Minecraft was gonna add a monkey or
how about an alligator? Well, if you don't, it's probably cause you
don't live in China. So you were the release of the
Chinese version of Minecraft, Mojang held a special mob
vote just for that region. And as we know, the
Panda won in a landslide and it now exists in the global release. Back in the day, it was possible to breed
mooshrooms and cows together. But ever since Snapshot 12W7A, this has been changed so that they only breed
amongst themselves, which seems a little unfair. But since you can't shear a mooshroom to change it back to a cow I guess there's still a
work around if you need it. - [Narrator 2] Skeletons
didn't always use bows. In fact, when they were first added these skeletons would hold out their arms and attack the player just like a zombie. - [Narrator 1] What do creepers
and leaves have in common? Well, according to
Mojang, a lot apparently. See, Notch said that he pictures creepers as being made of dry crunchy leaves and Dinnerbone furthered this by saying that the creepers explode because they rub together
like a bunch of sticks and then spontaneously combust. And so I guess that makes MatPat's theory about them correct on this one. - [Narrator 2] You can only ride in a boat with a skeleton horse in Bedrock, which sounds ridiculous, but what's even more stupid
is the steps it takes to pull this off. To do this, you need to get
a skeleton horse in a boat and then swim underneath it and right click the boat
to get in and pilot it. 'Cause if you don't, you'll just ride the horse
and can't move anywhere. - [Narrator 1] Ever wonder
why you can only breed horses with a golden carrot or golden apple? Well, this actually comes
from Greek mythology. See, in the myth, there's
this horse named Arion, which was a super steed that
only ate precious materials, which would make a lot more
sense to do economically if the Minecraft horses
weren't so abysmally slow. Did you know that Minecraft pigs can fly? Though not like this,
but rather like this. See if one player sits
on a saddle pig like so, and then the other one
grabs hold of a lead, they can launch off with elytra and keep out the pig
and your friend in tow. But if you do this, just
make sure to land some water. Otherwise that pig isn't
gonna make a round trip. - [Narrator 2] What's the
difference between a hoglin in 2020 and one today? Well, back in the snapshots
for the nether update the hoglins had a glitch in their code in such a way that their legs and ears would flail about
when moved or attacked. - [Narrator 1] When you
give a mob the no AI tag, it doesn't move or follow the player. And that's true for all of
them except the guardian. Yeah, apparently since the Guardian's eyes coded as the head on the model, it'll still follow the player even when it's supposed to have no AI. - [Narrator 2] This is
what the spider looked like back in Java Edition Classic. It had a brown texture
with black beads for eyes, which is quite the difference
from how it looks today. Plus it gave them some natural
camouflage for dirt blocks so that would've made these
even creepier to deal with. - [Narrator 1] During development, the evoker used to look pretty different and we could see that
from when Mojang did this "Meet The Evoker" article. The mob originally had a hat like so, but even though they
removed this before release it's interesting to note
that it resembles the one that you see on the illusioner mob. Though, the illusioner wasn't
added officially either so maybe Mojang just doesn't like hats. - [Narrator 2] Silver fish
used to have as much health as the player with 20
hit points to their name. And thankfully after the
Beta 1.9 pre-release, this was fixed so they now
only have eight HP instead. - [Narrator 1] Even though magma cubes are made of well magma, they can swim in water just fine. And in fact, they're the
only mob that you'll find in the netherer that can swim normally. What did this llama in
this boat have in common? Well, if a player rides on
top, neither of them will sink. Even if you're in water,
that's deeper than two blocks which seems small, but the same
can't be said for our horses or pigs, so it's definitely noticeable. And that'll make it all the easier to bring your friends along on the caravan for the next time they travel - [Narrator 2] Drowned in Bedrock Edition looks significantly
different to those in Java. But why is that? You'll notice the drowned mob in Bedrock has a 3D
outer layer to its model which gives it a bigger head
in arms than it has in Java. Additionally, this causes
its armor to render weirdly, especially with any helmets like so. - [Narrator 1] This feature showed up in Minecraft story mode
two years before it did in the bass game. See this year's Winslow, the calcilo cat from the telltale game. And while they seem
like a minor character, this was actually inspiration for when the calico cats
got added into Minecraft in Java 1.14 except then
their patterns are flipped. - [Narrator 2] If you listen closely, this ravager sound
effect might be familiar. And the reason is that
if you change the pitch on the ravagers first
and third death sounds, they turn out to be exactly the same as the pillager's death sound. (pillager groans and growls) - [Narrator 1] Did you know
pigs could drop brown mushrooms? Sure enough, back in the
Java Addition Survival Test, there was a time where these mobs only dropped brown mushrooms on death, but obviously this was
changed to a pork chop when that item got added in. Oh, it makes me wonder, if you had a mushroom stew made outta pig shrooms,
is that still vegetarian? I don't know. This is the most deadly
puffer fish in Minecraft. And the reason for that is
because if you change the NBT tag for a puffer fish's puff state data value, you can change its damage and poison time. So if we use this data command like so, we can make one that's
either completely harmless or destroyer our worlds. - [Narrator 2] Minecraft's
pillagers used to look like this. They were designed like a pirate wearing an orange torn
vest and an eye patch. But this picture is the
only existing evidence since the mob designers decided that proper armor would look better instead. - [Narrator 1] Why do
striders drop string? Well, the reasons piglins. See, to explain how these
pigs get the strength for their crossbows, Mojang developed the
strider with this in mind. And I guess logically, they get the item made from
these bristles on the side, but they must have a lot
over after killing them since they still barter
away their string anyway. - Have you ever seen a
villager wearing a green hood? Well, if you have, you're
probably using programmer art. See, the reason this happens is because the texture for
the nitwit before 1.14 has the same file name as the village and pillage updates base texture proving that all the villagers,
even those with jobs, are nitwits in their own way. - [Narrator 1] What makes
these baby polar bears special from any other mob in the game? Well, if you listen close
to it's sound effect, you'll notice that it's
not just a sped up version of the regular polar bears cry, which is how it is for any other baby mob. But instead, the polar bear cub has a unique recording of its own. - [Narrator 2] Did you know that there's an axolotl even
rarer than the blue variant. See, back in the development
of Snapshot 21W17A, there was the idea to add an axolotl with an open mouth texture like this, but it was never properly implemented. And by the following
snapshot it was removed. So if you see an axolotl
with an open mouth, you've either got a glitch
or maybe it's just hungry, but even if it was starving, why does the axolotl eat
this fish, but not this one? Well, the answer is
actually based on real life. According to Mojang's dev diaries, this is because real
axolotls will only eat fish that are alive. So that's why they'll only
follow you into battle if you have the bucket. They just want their
sushi raw as it comes. - [Narrator 1] Why do
piglin brutes have 50 HP compared to the regular piglins 16? Well, according to lead artist, Jasper, that's because their golden
arm guard serves as protection which is the first ever
case of golden armor actually being effective. Shulkers weren't supposed to be purple. In fact, the original
idea was that these mobs could camouflage into any nearby block. So a shulker on purple would look purple, or one on endstone would
look like, well endstone. But Jeb decided this was
too difficult to code so it never made it into the game. - [Narrator 2] Why is this
villager riding a chicken? Well, if the baby zombie
on a chicken jockey happens to be a zombie villager, then when you cure it, it'll
become a villager again but won't leave the chickens back. Meaning if you cure this diamond armor zombie
villager chicken jockey you'll have the true
rarest mob in Minecraft. But unfortunately, we
can't take that ultra rare chicken jockey to the nether since neither chicken
jockeys nor spider jockeys are able to go through portals. - [Narrator 1] Alright, pop quiz, what mob is this? I'll give you a hint. It's not a silver fish, but actually it's just an endermite. See you when endermite was added in, it was just a purple
version of the silver fish before it eventually got
this new smaller model that we see today. Under certain circumstances, the iron golem will attack a villager. Now, clearly the villagers
are a peaceful mob but if they use their
fireworks after a raid, that celebration might
just damage a nearby golem. And if it does, the iron
golem will get aggressive and even kill the villager that it's supposed to protect. And with that folks, YouTube thinks that you
might like this video so see if they're right and
have a good one, alright?
