- This is the rarest item
in Vanilla Minecraft. And this trade costs 65 emeralds to do. Making it literally impossible. And these are 23 stupidly
expensive things in Minecraft. And hey, according to the YouTube gods, no one's ever subscribed to the channel using their left pinky. So, if you're up to that challenge, point your fifth digit at
that red sub button below. It's free and it helps out a ton. Well, this blue ice block
doesn't look that expensive, let's put it in perspective. Since, to get one of these, you're gonna need nine packed ice. And since the packed
ice block is made out of nine ice itself, what we're
really seeing here is that one blue ice block is the equivalent of 81 ice blocks, like so. And when you put that side
by side in a comparison, it's quickly noticeable that
you're gonna be spending a lot of ice just to get that quick highway. And frankly, if you're looking
to spend the time to get that much blue ice to actually
get up to those top speeds, you should really be building
your highway like this, with the gaps. 'Cause otherwise, you're
just wasting efficiency, especially when you consider
the both of these designs work the exact same. Now, this armor might look overpowered but it's actually not that much. Since, even though back in 1.14, you could get yourself a full set of armor with every single protection enchantment, that was actually unnecessary,
since the level of protection for certain damage
types is already capped. So even if you went through
the effort of getting every single protection put on your armor, you weren't even seeing
the full benefits of it. And at the very least, let's hope that when you were
putting all those enchantments on, you added it on Mending as well. Because otherwise, I
think you're gonna get the too expensive message in the anvil and then it's a lost cause. But it is right, this
definitely is too expensive. Now an efficiency V
netherite shovel seems great but it's actually a ripoff. Since, as it turns out, having an efficiency IV enchantment, is already good enough to instant
mine every shovable block. So if you waste the time to get yourself up to efficiency V, you're just going for style points. But honestly, I'm even
guilty of this myself. It just looks awkward to have
yourself in efficiency IV, right next to all your
other efficiency V tools. But even if it's understandable, it still could be
recklessly expensive to do. Now, a netherite beacon is a huge flex but when you crunch the numbers, you might wanna reconsider that. Since, to get all the
materials necessary to pull off a full netherite beacon, you would need 5,904 netherite scraps. Which, sure enough means
you're gonna have to find 5,904 ancient debris blocks. And I just can't account
for that kinda lock. So if you're WadZee and you
wanna do this for a thumbnail, that's completely fine. But, for a regular person like you and me, I don't think that's gonna cut it. But hey, at least it's
more blast resistant than a regular beacon. That's gotta account for something but not the amount of time
that it would take to find 5,904 netherite scrap. And when it finally comes time for you to activate that netherite beacon, the cost can only get higher. Since, while most of us
would choose to activate this with iron or gold, clearly those aren't
the only ways to do it. Really, if you're
spending a netherite ingot or a diamond, to get
one of these powered up, better make sure that
you have someone watching because otherwise, you're
just spending money for no one's benefit. And what's even sadder, is
that this isn't even the most expensive thing we could do with beacons. And we'll see that later in the video. Villager trades could be a ripoff but this one quite literally is. Since in the past, there
used to be a glitch, where old villagers
could sometimes require more than 64 emeralds for a trade. And not only is it expensive
but it's also impossible, since you can only put
up a stack of emeralds in the item slot. But nowadays, if you try
to recreate this glitch, it doesn't work the same way. Since, even though we have
this villager in the map, set with a price of 70 emeralds, the game will always auto
discount it to a price of 64, which is still not cheap but at least it's affordable, in theory. With the 1.19 update, we've got ourselves the
new recovery compass item. And if you're able to track
down the echo shards necessary to make one of these, it seems like a pretty
useful item to have, unless you're inside of hardcore mode. It's obviously, if you die here, there's no need to get pointed
back to your last death, since at that point, the world's deleted and
you could just move on. Odd as it may seem, this is actually the
rarest block in Minecraft. And probably why that
seems so odd is because it's actually pretty pointless. But in fact, since gilded
blackstone can only generate as a part of bastion remnants and usually underneath the bastion chests, this golden blackstone is actually rarer than the ancient debris, since
that can generate anywhere. And really when the most
that you can get from this, is just a handful of golden nuggets when you mine it with a pickaxe, it really makes you question
whether it's worth it or not. I mean, you can't even
smelt it like nether gold or to get yourself an ingot. That's how much of a ripoff this is. So is it expensive? Yes. But there's so little
underlying value here, that I wouldn't consider
trying to get some. And speaking of showing off
next to your nether portal, we may notice that only big
spenders are building their nether portals with the four corners. Since, as we all know, it's unnecessary. I mean, even the Yogscast taught us that. Plus, it's not like obsidian
could be easily farmed anyway. So if you're doing this, you're really just wasting
time in two different ways, both in mining the obsidian
and spending the extra time to lay out those four blocks. So really, the only time you
should see another portal built in this layout, should be
when you go through the nether and it generates over there. But in any other case, I'd recommend putting
that four extra obsidian into an enchanting table or something. And that's a lot more economical. From a distance, these palm
trees look pretty unassuming. But once you get up close, then it starts to look
a lot more careless. Now I'll be the first to agree, ancient debris does look
great for a palm tree trunk. And I guess, one benefit
is that you know that tree isn't gonna burn down
in a lightning storm. But come on, the cost is obvious for
building one of these things. So as much as it bothers me that Mojang hasn't added in
palm trees for our beaches yet, I'd rather build one of these
out of a drip stone trunk, like so, instead of wasting
all this potential netherite. I mean, apparently it
costs over 5,000 pieces of ancient debris to get
yourself a netherite beacon. So, I'd rather save up for that, than wasting it on my shoreline. Every now and then, Minecraft adds a feature
that doesn't make much sense. Like the water breathing
arrows, for instance. I mean, I don't know how
often your friend is drowning and then the solution is to do
more damage to help them out. But even if they aren't
practical, at least on Bedrock, we can check a couple of
these on a slime block pusher and make ourselves a pretty fountain. As it is, leather armor's supposed to be this early game item that
you can get to start off. But it almost never is
because as it turns out, it's actually more expensive to get, than regular iron ingots. I mean, just consider the
fact that not every cow that you kill, drops leather. Or as every iron ore that I mine, is always gonna drop at
least some amount of raw ore. And that alone means that
it'll always take less mining than killing, to get
yourself a full set of armor. But it's also not like
cows are that easy to find. So unless you find yourself a
leather shirt in a shipwreck, I'd figure that most of
us don't even put this on before we get into the better stuff. If you're making this flint
and steel, you must be rich. Because, even though though
a flint and steel itself is about as cheap as it gets,
costs one flint, one steel, you can hear it in the name, it is possible to get one
of these with mending it and breaking on it. And that's definitely reckless. I mean, sure, you will love
yourself a flint and steel that'll never run out. 'Cause you can basically
recharge it whenever you want. But the question then comes down to, why would you wanna recharge it? The base item is so
inexpensive in its own right, that you're really just
adding on an unnecessary cost to solve a problem that you didn't need. But if you're trying to show off while you light your nether portal, I guess flashing something like this definitely does that trick. Copper's a great block to build with but it's also one of the most expensive. Since it's the only metal
with stair and slab variants, you can only get those variants
if you're using a copper block that costs nine ingots each. Which means that just one
stair made out of copper, costs 13.5 ingots to craft. Which is a lot of effort to go through, for just a roof like this. And add onto that, all
the opportunity costs that you spent waiting
for this to weather down. And the copper house that
you crafted is definitely gonna come with a hefty price tag. Honestly, I'd only try this if you got yourself a drowned farm. Otherwise it just seems too reckless. Now, crafting in anvil
definitely has its use. I'm not gonna argue with that. But crafting 64 of them to make a railing, that's where you start to lose me. But sure enough, there are some
people who like to be bougie and put together some of these
anvils as decoration block. And to a degree, I get it, it does have a unique
model that makes it great for certain details, like so. But having to spend 31 iron
ingots just to get one of these, that makes it expensive, even if you got yourself an iron farm. And really, if you're at the
point where you're considering building this anvil
floor design in survival, you might as well just
save yourself some time, throw your iron on the floor
and then crush it with that very same anvil. Since both will be about the
same waste of your ingots. Now this sounds unintuitive but you probably don't wanna
use bookshelves to build yourself a library. Because, for each one of those blocks, you're actually looking at three leather, nine paper and six planks per block. Which is expensive enough,
when you just need 15 of them to get a level 30 enchantment. But when you start to
consider building up your Library of Alexandria recreation, now you're looking at
some serious problems. And honestly, I don't know if it's worth killing that many cows,
causing deforestation and getting rid of a lot of sugar cane, just to be left with a texture
that's this repetitive. But if you have the farms on hand, maybe you can make this
in a sustainable way. And honestly, I'd rather
just craft the books outside of the bookshelf, so then they have a little
bit more use for me. Now, golden apples are expensive. But enchanted golden apples, that's something on a whole other level. Since, if you're going through the effort to find one of these inside
of a rare loot chest, it's probably gonna end
up in yet another chest, except this time, as a trophy. Since, why would you eat one of these instead of the competition? Sure, it offers a lot
of absorption hearts. But since it's a one and done thing, I'd much rather use regular golden apples or even just suspicious
stew for regeneration. And what's funnier still,
is that in old versions, this enchanted golden apple, actually was pretty stupid to have, making it so that you took
more damage when you had an enchanted golden apple, instead of less. And for the kinda cash that
you were burning back then, that was pretty brutal. And arguably one of the
most useful ways to use your enchanted golden apple, is to
make the Thing banner pattern, which is expensive but, we
can make it so much worse. Since, to get yourself the
rarest item in Minecraft, what you would have to do, is get yourself a Thing banner pattern and then, use that in a loom, so
that your green banner has a brown Mojang logo. Since, you do this, you would
need to have cactus green dye, which you can obviously
only find in a desert. And the brown of cocoa beans, which are only found in jungle biomes. And since both of those
are rare biome exclusives, that makes this banner one
of the most expensive things you can get in the game. And it's a shame too because
with that color combination, it truly is ugly. I think the lodestones, one of
the often forgotten features, the one 1.16 update. And part of that's gotta
come down to its price tag. Since, for each one of
these that you're building, you're gonna have to
get one netherite ingot. which itself, is four netherite
scrap, four ancient debris and that's just too much. So while I agree it does look
great if you use it in some cases for building and decoration, this should only be
something you consider doing in creative mode. Because honestly, even when
you use it for its intended use of linking a compass, it's not that useful for
how much you're paying. But what if you have
enough netherite on hand, that now you're trying to spend
it to get the achievement, I suppose you can make
an argument for that. But using it for a build like this, I'm not gonna co-sign that one. This may not look like much but what you're actually seeing here, is the result of 16,384
blocks that we placed. Since, to get one thing of custom mapart, it's gonna be 128 by 128 map. And when you crunch the numbers, that quickly starts to ramp up in time. And that's not even including
the fact that you could be using supporting blocks
to get the staircase in effect, for shading. So as much as I love
showing off custom mapart in our videos, for the
cool details, like so. If you're actually in survival and you're trying to use one
of these for a chess board or a custom carpet, it's not the most economical
choice, let's put it at that. While beacons clearly have a
lot of function as a, well, beacon, they do also
give off a light source, which we can extrapolate to
mean that you can use beacons exclusively as a light
source inside your base. But why you would ever
do this, it's beyond me. Because each one of these
blocks that you place down, tells the story that you killed a wither for each nether star inside,
which is pretty cool. But as soon as you see a
beacon chandelier like this, then it starts to feel excessive. And honestly, if you're gonna
use a beacon for decoration, I'd much rather use it
for colorful beacon beams. 'Cause at least then, the
beacon could be active, instead of just passive, like so. Now I agree, the dragon
egg is pretty much useless. But even with that said, using one of these for the base of a lamp, still seems like a waste. I mean, in Java edition, you're
only gonna get one of these. So the idea that you'd just
be using it for something as simple as a light up
base, yeah, I don't know, it rubs me the wrong way,
let's put it at that. But if you're really set
against using one of these in your trophy room, then at the very least, my
favorite reckless way of using your dragon egg, is I put
it inside of an item frame and using it as the nose on a sign. Silly, yes but stupid, also, yes. There's a lot of arguments about what's the best
fuel to use in a furnace? But I can safely say this is the worst. Since, while it doesn't look
that bad to put your jukebox in as a furnace fuel, consider
the underlying cost. Since, for each one of these juke boxes, you're spending one diamond inside. And there you go, just by
putting a jukebox in the furnace, you're literally burning money. And I doubt you can recoup
that cost by selling whatever steak you cooked in that furnace. Honestly, I think you'd have
to pay me to eat a steak made outta diamonds, instead
of the other way around. And honestly, jukeboxes by themselves already feel like a ripoff. We don't need to add to that equation. If you're really looking to
take your items for a spin, then there's really
nothing that matches up to a honey block roundabout. The way it works, is that
items are dispensed in the back and then pushed around in
the honey blocks, in circles, by the pistons. While it really just
amounts to a pretty show, I've got no problems with that. It is kind of mesmerizing to watch. And it's worth noting for
the sake of being thorough, that even if all the items don't
get collected at the front, then they still get picked up in the back and then funneled into the system. That little tidbit isn't gonna
make it any more practical. But it is worth noting because, hey, at least it's functional. So if you've got a rumbly in your tumbly for all kinds of weird storage, then this is definitely
the best you'll find in the entire 100 acre wood. With piglin bartering, gold farms are a very helpful
thing to have on hand. And while we normally build
these above the bedrock roof, some servers patch out that glitch. So, why not just get thousands
of blocks of obsidian and build an overworld gold farm? And while you do sacrifice
some of the efficiency to pull this off, it is quite the feat to
build inside your world. And it'll finally give a use
to that obsidian farm you have. So, that's something. But honestly, why would
you wanna do more work for less results? I've got no clue. Corralling animals in Minecraft
is easier said than done. Let's just say the AI
isn't a perfect system. And while crops should
be the easy solution, not all of us have a farm on hand. So, for another solution, we
could use a flint and steel, no joke, by lighting the mob on fire and placing a water source in the pen, you can bait them towards
that spot, to cool off. It does work but it only takes
the pig being a bit too slow, before you're left with
little more than a pork chop and a waste of time. Before you get into elytra, it's not an easy task to
cross the different void gaps between the islands in the end. Though that painful problem actually has an enjoyable solution. You see, as Simplysarc
pointed out in 2018, another alternative, is
mixing together riptide, slow falling and ender pearls. Then you can launch
yourself hundreds of blocks needed to cross, which is fun but only right until the point
where you need to get back. And then it's a pain
building the system again. So honestly, I'd much rather
just fill up my inventory with stacks of cobblestone or something, at least then the bridges
that I make would be reusable. Unlike this, where it's one and done. Staircases are a staple
in a Minecraft house and they're also very customizable. Some are fancy, some are straightforward, some go to build limit. And this one, this one's just long. Or, more specifically, one of the longest
staircases currently possible in Vanilla Minecraft. If you thought snow layer
staircases were slow, then this puts that all to shame. And really, for the effort
to set all of this up, only to climb one block, it's just sad and
definitely not practical. And I don't know what lunatic
would wanna put this to work in their house. We barely wanted to
build it for the example. Dealing with a lotta damage
in Minecraft is satisfying. But while it might sound like a dream to kill the ender dragon in one hit, the reality of building
something like this, is just a nightmare. You see, even though this
crazy TNT arrow launcher might just do the trick, you'd have to be a mad person to build it. Even in creative mode, this seems like it would
take a lotta effort to make. So truly, if you're looking for speed while you kill the dragon, just use beds. Speed runners have already
proved that's plenty fast for getting the fight done. Bonemeal farms are almost a prerequisite for Minecraft automation. After all, who wants to
wait for all their crops to grow on their own? But if you can't find a
skeleton spawner nearby, then, I guess fish are always a solution. Though the word solution, here, seems like a bit of an overstatement. You see, in Java edition,
there's only a 5% drop chance of bonemeal from these things. Folks, that's not a bonemeal farm. It's a fish farm with a bonemeal bonus. So if you really can't find a spawner and you're still looking
for bonemeal some way, just use cactus or kelp instead. At least with those, you
have luck on your side. With the popularity of 100
days challenges in Minecraft, it's become a lot more crucial
to check your in-game time. And while most of us would do that through the F3 debug menu, there's actually a way
to do this with redstone. See, using a daylight sensor
on top of a dispenser, filled up with blocks, then, every time another day passes by, a block goes into the chest
and tells you the number. I mean, it's certainly a lot more costly than hitting a button on a keyboard but if you want to, it's worth a shot. When you're smelting things in a furnace, you don't always have to be standing there to watch it all get done. So to know when it's time to
sub in a new item to smelt, you could make this system
that plays a little tune every time that the
furnace finishes cooking. Which, I mean, does work and
it's a nice little detail but really, just use a hopper
and then you can have all of this super smelter system work, without any of the hassle for ya. And look, in all honesty, I actually like this redstone system. That's why we've shown it off in the past. But does it pass the practicality test? Not exactly. Say you come across some
diamonds while mining but you don't have a way to
get across the lava lake. Well, no worries. Because if you happen to
have all 244 mineral blocks necessary to make a full
jump boost to beacon. And after setting that up and
the proper skylight to make the beacon work, you power it on and jump across with newfound strength, to the other side. Yeah, it's a common occurrence, I know. And while it does work in execution, the theory has so many holes in it, that I really don't see
this as much more than a what if scenario. Throwing items on the floor
is a pretty shoddy way of storing them. I mean, after all, they are
gonna despawn in five minutes and I don't think anyone
wants that to happen to their netherite pickaxe. That is, unless you
build a system like this. The way that this works, is
that we have one junk item getting pushed onto a pressure plate and the other one that we have, being demonstrated out front. Which means that as soon
as the dirt despawns, the pressure plate gets untriggered and then the diamond is
able to be sucked back in. That way, the valuable
item that we're showcasing never actually despawns, it just keeps getting cycled
through hoppers and droppers. Honestly, I don't know why
you'd use this over an item frame but sure enough, if you wanna show off your
item in a trophy case, this is a pretty bougie way of doing it. Anyone who's ever come
across a silverfish spawner, knows that these suckers love
to crawl inside of blocks. And while most of the time
that's just a pain to deal with, strange as it may seem, we can
actually use it for mining. Yeah, no joke. All you gotta do is anger one
of them and that'll cause the rest of them to break out
of their blocks and join in. Meaning, essentially, we can
dig a hole without a pickaxe. But in practice, it's just ridiculous. So even though it works, the cost of your sanity to pull this off, might be too high to pay. Look, I love flying machines as a concept. It's a great feat of redstone engineering and especially when you're
trying to do something crazy, like a moving base or a house. However, while these might
work for those kinda displays, I don't understand using them for travel. I mean, just about anything will outclass these for horizontal travel. And unfortunately, they're
not much better for vertical. In our sky limit testing video, we found out that one
of these as an elevator, works just about as fast as pillaring up one block at a time. And for all the hassle
to set up this system, that's pretty disappointing. If you would rather sort
through your items manually, instead of having the help of a hopper, then this is definitely
the method for you. You see, the way this
sort of item shower works, is that the droppers shoot
out all of their items onto the floor and then you as the player, go in and then sort through what you want. Don't worry about leaving
any mess on the floor. It's all gonna get sorted out in a second. Because as soon as you got
all the items you need, you can then press this button, all of the floor scraps will
get sent right back into the funnel in the system. Personally, this takes me
right back to the golden days of "Hunger Games," where
right after you kill someone, you gotta sort through their old inventory as fast as you can. And believe me, using one of these in your survival world, is just as stressful and
terrible of a concept as it is there. Now, when you first look at them, minecart chests aren't that weird. I mean it's a minecart
and it's in a chest. It seems like it lives up to the name. But where their storage
really gets strange, when you stack a whole
bunch of minecart chests into the same block. As it goes, since these
things are actually entities, instead of blocks, you can stack up a whole bunch
of them on top of one hopper. Meaning, if you've got
a way to put items in and retrieve them out, then you've got one of the most
compact mass storage systems in the game. For my money, I can say
this is a pretty nifty way to store all the items
that you get from a farm. And it definitely looks a lot
nicer than those huge storage silos you have to build. Just make sure your computer
can handle all the new entities getting loaded in. They can get laggy real fast. Emeralds are the quintessential
Minecraft currency. And while there are plenty
of ways to get your hands on the green stuff, this
one might be the lamest. The truth is folks, if you
wanna slow burn Emerald Farm, then foxes are your prime choice. Every now and then, these things will snag an emerald for you, which, you can then replace
to them with a food item. It's simple to set up, that's for sure. But it's also remarkably
tedious, which, call me crazy but something tells me
this isn't your next ticket to a full emerald beacon. You might need to look elsewhere for that. In most of our worlds, item frames just function as a decoration. I mean, they're even labeled as such. Even Mojang agrees. Well, that's selling 'em kinda short. Because if we actually
use these as storage, they do function as such. The way that you would have this, works by having the dispenser
shoot out an arrow at the item that you wanna retrieve, then
have it funnel it back to you. Or if you wanna be a little
more precise about it, then you could just use
your own bow and arrow to shoot it off the wall. To me, this reminds me of
those old corny carnival games that we used to play. And personally, I like
being able to shoot my tools off the wall at a moment's notice. The only problem is it's
not that fun of a system to set back up. But that's just how life goes, it's way more fun to destroy,
than it is to clean up. Now, this might be one
of the most unique forms of item storage. Because in fact, we're
not actually storing items but rather, we convert them
into items, on request. So for example, we hook this up to a farm,
where, if you want sugarcane, you then press a button and it then delivers sugarcane to you. Or you could have TNT blow
up different stone blocks and the like, to then
deliver those to you as well. As you can see, the key difference here
between other storage, is that the items actually didn't exist until we pressed the
button to call for them. And of course, the limitation that would
come with this system, is that you couldn't use it for all items. But if you want your
sugarcane freshly harvested at a moment's notice, then there's really
nothing that can top this. Now, I'm all for saving time when you can but sometimes, finding the fastest path, takes more time than it's worth. For an example, let's
look at the wither fight. Sure, there's some impressive
waste to take down the thing. Whether with firework
rockets or falling dripstone. But while those do a lotta
damage in a short burst, they aren't exactly easy to get. So, why go through all of that effort? We could just trap it under
the ends bedrock fountain. Especially one to even pull
off those crazy methods. You probably need it
stuck in place anyway. Most are familiar with this
trick that we use to break through the bedrock roof. But we can use it elsewhere. Since this gets rid of any
block that's underneath the piston, we could even
get rid of end portal frames or command blocks, through this method. Although bedrock is the
only practical option here. For example, if you wanna
break the end portal, you could just break the
frames using the big mushroom and that's so much easier than the setup. So while I guess this
could be used on obsidian, let's be honest here, the slow setup barely makes me
wanna use this in the nether, let alone in the overworld. Just leave it to bedrock
and call it there. Making an infinite water
source is an easy concept. But, not everyone always walks around with two full water buckets. So if you're in a place
like The Desertic End, you're outta luck. Unless, of course, you have a cauldron and some glass bottles on hand. Because then, you can find a solution. Just fill the bottles
up in the water source, pour them into the cauldron
and fill it up to the brim. Then you can take out the new source block with your water bucket, make a traditional infinite water pool. So, this would work but it's so much more expensive
than the regular method. And should only be highly situational. Now, I've sung the
praises of the cake ladder too many times to count. And while it does add
a fair amount of speed with the right horse, is it practical? No, not at all. The amount of cake that you
need to make for this thing, should be illegal. It definitely feels like
a crime laying it all out in the crafting table. And then, to not only have
your cake but then eat it too, that makes this build more
of a fantasy than anything. But it's a fantasy that
I'll still happily use, in creative mode. While riding into battle
on horseback sounds great. Minecraft doesn't always make it that fun. Say for example, you wanted
to go through the effort and make yourself the
perfect horse for travel. But, starting off, it's not
even the fastest method. And also, you don't get a clear
stat readout for each horse. So you're gonna have to test
them and compare yourself. And after putting in all that
effort into both the breeding and the math to get
the perfect stud steed, you're still pretty
limited by most standards. So, just stick to an
elytra or an ice boat. Those are a lot easier to tame. If you're trying to get down
from a mountain without a water bucket on hand, then there might be another
avenue for you to choose. Which is, that if for some
reason you're lacking a bucket but brought along TNT, then that's enough to do
the trick for safe landing. Since they're instantly
broken with a fist, you can break one and then place the other from your inventory, without
ever skipping a beat. Which, I'll admit, is fun to
pull off as a party trick. But all it takes is one wrong
move or a blazes fireball in the nether, to turn
this whole thing belly up. So just stick to water and hay bales. Swords are great for
taking out different mobs. But, when you get low on durability, the pressure is sure to set in. So if you don't wanna worry about that, dragging around a bunch
of iron golem bodyguards, can also do the trick. And while I love how silly it is to bring around an iron golem
posse to do your dirty work, all it takes is one creeper to roll around and the fun will end there. And honestly, for the 36 iron it takes to craft one of these things, I'd rather just make a sword and armor and do the job myself. Frost Walker isn't the most necessary of Minecraft enchantments. So if you've already got a pair, then the answer might be to
give it to a villager instead. No joke. By using a dispenser, you can give it to a villager and then tuck them in a pack of mobs, to easily move the hoard across the ocean. Which winds up being a lot
easier than doing 19 trips in a boat. Every now and then, you've gotta break the laws of physics. And while Minecraft doesn't
exactly abide by gravity, that doesn't mean we can't
break its own rules too. And, one of my favorite ways
to do that, might just be these so-called, illegal water
and lava source blocks. After laying out the proper
arrangement of sticky pistons and redstone, we can just
about glitch out the game. And then, even after removing
the surrounding blocks, we can still interact with
these as normal source blocks. So if you're looking
for a floating art piece to put in your base,
this might do the trick. Now, saving yourself from
a fall with a water bucket, is nothing new. And if you ask me, it's
been done to death. So, how about we try to
get a bit more creative for our MLG save and
turn to potions instead.? No joke. Using something like
a slow falling potion, we're capable to make a safe
landing from a dangerous fall. And to pull this off, the technique isn't too
different from what it is for the water bucket, since it all hinges on
pressing right click at the right time. And if you do that, your
legs will thank you. Chainmail is a cool concept. But it doesn't serve much
of a gameplay function. And it's definitely not worth
using over that iron set that you're already wearing. But if you have a helmet
from zombies for a drop, let's use it before you lose it. And if you put one of these
on an armor stand, like so, it makes a nifty RGB keyboard
for your next houses's desk. Now, lecterns are not something
you need to craft in bulk. But if you happen to
misclick in a crafting grid, don't sweat it, here's the solution. Since they share the same bottom
texture as the oak planks, we can make something of a
rotated pattern in your roof, which, I'll admit, is a lot better than leaving
these lying in a chest. The way that Minecraft is, it's really easy to build a pillar but really awkward to build downwards. And without a water source to cling to, most of us might think that
such a thing is impossible but that's just not true. If we just so happen to have
two trapped doors on hand, then we can use this
crawl technique, like so, to slowly maneuver
ourselves down the path. Is it tedious? Absolutely. But the fact still remains, that if you need to build
downwards in a pinch, this might be your best bet. Bats are notorious for not doing much. And while they can help define caves, there's not much use for
these on the surface. That is, until we add in
an invisibility potion. As others have pointed out, these little flying rats can
become something like ghosts, when they're invisible. Letting us get both the
flying particle effects and the spooky sounds for
your haunted house build. So, Mojang has gone on the record against adding in vertical slabs, which has spawned its
fair share of debates. And while I'm not trying
to argue either side, I will mention that, for what it's worth, it is a little possible right now. See, through the help of walls and TNT, it's possible to glitch out
the blocks' connectivity and leave a vertical
slab floating, like so. Now it's not easy enough to do
to justify putting a bunch of these in your build. But it is a cool way to
break Mojang's rules. And if you ask me, it's
worth doing just for that. Before you get mending on your elytra, phantoms are your only
option for a restock. But, some servers have insomnia disabled, making that way less viable. So instead of doing something simple, like enabling those game rules, you could always just turn
to a cat gift farm instead. Just place a cat over a
hopper next to your bed, sleep for the night and
you'll get the membrane, just the same. It's not exactly a speed farm but I guess it does save you
the hassle of complaining to the admin, for whatever that's worth. Snow layers can add a good bit of detail to your winter build. But they're a pain to craft in bulk. So, much weirder plan B, could be to get a whole
bunch of snow golems walking or rather, dragging, around the place, to coat it in snow powder. Which, to a degree, I guess
is more resource effective. But the time that it would take
to move all of these around, is a big commitment. And even then, it's kinda like
the fill tool in Photoshop, good for filling out a big area but I would hate to use
this to write my name. Before barrels were added into the game, you were pretty limited on how
you got to do your storage. That is, unless you wanted
to get creative with it. Because sure enough, chests aren't the only
containers in the game. And if we look at it, you
can actually use dispensers as a way to store your items. Now I know, it's not ideal. They definitely don't
have a lotta storage. But I'll fully admit that in
times where I didn't have wood, I've definitely put together
some cobblestone and redstone, to make some droppers or
dispensers to store my items. But possibly the best use
that I've seen of this, is making a dispenser or dropper floor. 'Cause it basically looks like cobblestone and then storing your item
in between the floorboards. That way, unless your
visitors are extra vigilant, they're not gonna be
checking out your diamonds. Minecraft has plenty of
different blocks that function as containers, in which that
you're able to place an item inside of them and then
they'll keep that item inside. Things like, chests,
barrels, dispensers, hoppers, any of that. And while I would initially
think that furnaces are the most limited, that all gets thrown out the window when you factor in, brewing stands. These things cannot do a lot. They got one inventory slot and it's only for potion ingredients. So if you're a practicing
witch or a warlock, who wants to hide their
golden carrots in a place that no one will ever find, there you go. But for the rest of us regular people, I think it's probably
best to use brewing stands for well, brewing. They're much better sorted for that job. Normal hostile mobs do
not mix well with water. So, sure, that means that you
could spawn-proof your base, using water instead of torches. But, let's compare the two. One of them offers light and provides a warm, safe atmosphere. While the other makes it wet, a pain to walk through and
doesn't exactly mix nice with your redstoner decorations. And really, the only reason
I would wanna do this, for a riptide trident
to use wherever I go, that'd be the only nice touch. But other than that, maybe this is further proof
that you should just have an aquarium in your house,
instead of turning your house into the aquarium. Most of the time in Minecraft, hoppers are the journey and
not so much the destination. But if we wanna flip that
whole concept on its head, we can actually use hoppers
in a sort of carousel motion, to then get our items circling around. By doing this, we can make
our own form of item rotation circus, to always keep
your favorites in the loop. But what's important to know
is, that if you do build this, you should only have one item per hopper. That way you can prevent any
kind of buildup in your system. Because hey, who wants
a traffic jam anyway? And while doing this arguably
makes hoppers even less valuable for storage, it is nice to know that
sometimes you don't have to worry about where you're
going and just enjoy the ride. Gold tools don't get a lotta play time. However, as some commenters
are quick to point out, they can be faster than
their diamond counterparts. And while that's true, as soon as you enchant the two candidates, that's all thrown out the window. An efficiency V diamond
pickaxe is much faster than the gold counterpart. And while that's enough
of a reason to use this, the difference in durability, means that you'll burn through
way more golden pickaxes, just to mine the same amount of area. So while unenchanted
gives the nod to gold, just spend your levels and time to get a fully enchanted pickaxe instead. Look, I'm a fan of getting
the best bang for your buck but at some point, we
gotta ask if it's worth it. Take this regeneration
beacon, for example. Now, the way that it is, you don't get the full
regeneration from this thing after a while of being
activated, which is too bad. But we could fix it with
a system to deactivate and reactivate the thing repeatedly. And I get that that would help you to regain your life slightly faster. But I imagine any time that you save, was already wasted on building this thing in the first place. Piston doors look great. They could be frustrating to set up. And sometimes you might
just wanna blow it all up and start from scratch. So, why not make that a feature? If you're crazy enough to
piece together a cobblestone generator wall, then you
can use a TNT button system to bust through and use it as a door. Sure, this still uses pistons but it's a lot more of a
spectacle, to say the least. Just make sure you don't step too close. Otherwise, this will
double as a defense system. If you're into redstone or maybe you just want a bunch of leads, then a slime farm is on your to-do list. But, if you're playing on peaceful mode, then it would seem that you're outta luck. That is, until you manage to
capture a few hundred pandas. You see, these mobs, even in peaceful, will occasionally sneeze out a slime ball, giving you somewhat of a farm. But don't get it twisted,
this method is painfully slow. So if you really wanna build this, enjoy the two or three slime
balls you might get in your entire lifetime because that's about it. You ever get tired of
placing your own pumpkins? Yeah, I don't either. But, any person really looking to automate their pumpkin placing process, I guess this does do the trick. With two snow blocks outta
reach from the dispenser, it'll still try to place the
pumpkin for a snow golum, even if it wouldn't make one. And then, there you have it, an automatic pumpkin placing machine, which, I guess is functional. But I do not understand the
point of using this trick. And honestly, it's
probably more useful to use the intended method of
making snow golums anyway. 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? (upbeat music)
