89 Minecraft Facts You Didn't Know

from fishing in the nether to becoming Immortal here are 89 Minecraft things you didn't know existed raw iron and gold both have to be smelted in a furnace to make them usable but did you know diamonds can be smelted too you won't be getting diamond ingots but you're actually able to smelt the or variations to get the mineral this works with Emerald Redstone and Lapis or as well there's a way to teleport thousands of blocks in survival if you block a ravager's attack with a shield the ravager will power up and knock all enemies back using this mechanic players can travel thousands blocks almost instantly fish outow water flop a lot if you put them on top of slime blocks they'll start bouncing super high because of it this also happens to Guardians where they bounce exponentially higher each time ravagers can break leaves and crops in Java Edition but in Bedrock Edition they're way more powerful ravagers can break blocks like pumpkins saplings sugar cane and Roses stop griefing me when you finish a raid you'll get the hero of the village effect for killing all the pillagers but Minecraft lets you do something cursed you can slash effect the pillagers around you to have the hero of the village effect there's adoption in Minecraft well sort of baby animals always follow a parent animal but if you kill the parent the baby animal will just start following a different parent how tragic there's a way to have looting bows in survival it's impossible to put looting on your bow normally but if you hold a looting sword in your main hand and bow in off hand the Looting effect will apply what's crazier is that the Looting glitch also works with snowballs so you can get extra blaze rods in the Nether on version 1.18.1 putting horse on top of turtle eggs will make them spin in circles I have no idea why this happens but I guess horses just love to dance with the scale attribute in 1 120.5 you can shrink yourself to become smaller than a button now you can live in tiny homes under cauldrons under beds or in between stairs this just made Hide and Seek way more fun when animals die by fire they're supposed to drop cooked food but for some reason if animals die by campfire the food won't be cooked this doesn't make any sense placing a block next to a cactus will destroy it allowing for some crazy automatic cactus farms but something pretty cool is that there is actually a way to place a full block next to a cactus just stack up a bunch of snow layers and the cactus will be perfectly fine or you can even Place powdered snow next to it you probably know jumping and attacking will deal a critical hit but did you know bows can deal Critical Hits too to do a critical shot you don't jump and shoot a bow but instead if you fully charge your bow it makes the arrow have a 25% chance of doing a critical shot and doing extra damage so that's just another reason to fully charge your bow back instead of bow spamming leaving your Minecraft world causes your cat to sit down and if a cat sits down on a chest it can't be open so with a redstone Contraption you can set it up so a cat will sit down on a chest and send a redstone pulse whenever you log off you can set up perfect traps to activate only when you leave how do you make floating Minecart rails just Place trap doors and then rails on top the rails can then be opened and it'll look like the rails are floating make sure not to break one of the Rails though or they'll all break before furnaces were added to the game how did players smell ores to smell it was actually pretty cool players just threw the ores at the ground and lit them on fire that's way quicker than furnaces I wish that still existed almost all of the Minecraft paintings are based on real art from Christopher zeder strand his artwork is now one of the most exposed pieces since Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies you can fall from a million blocks in the sky and if you land in a single Pixel of water you'll be fine but it wasn't always like this before update 1.4 jumping into shallow water would cause death and if you wanted to survive or fall you'd have to land into deeper water that could catch or fall I'm glad this was changed because water bucket clutching wouldn't exist Steve's hands used to be extremely useful before shears were introduced you could obtain Wool by just punching sheep it's like his hands had scissors on them TNT could also be lit by punching it and the explosion can be cancelled by punching it again check out this painting the skull isn't the interesting part but the World Behind it seed Hunters were able to find the exact World using the clouds and flower scene in a clearer screenshot of the painting Minecraft had a secret version called survival test this was the first version of survival mode and it had a lot of strange features in this version items stacked up to 99 mobs bond with Blade armor and pigs dropped mushrooms when guests were initially added they shot burning snowballs that were extremely deadly after that there was also a bug where the gas could shoot flaming Diamond helmets the fire aspect book has a superpower in the Bedrock edition of Minecraft you can light a TNT by right clicking it with the fire aspect book you can also like the TNT with a fire aspect sword I wish Java Edition had this Endermen don't take projectile damage they'll teleport out of the way if you try to snowball or bow them even if they have nowhere to teleport the projectile will just hover on top of them however a projectile that can hit them is the drip Stone I finally got you something really cursed is that if you get water in the nether you can actually fish there and get items I wonder how fish got there some skeletons can naturally pick up swords in the Bedrock Edition and they swing it super fast you sto my sword okay you can just keep it saddle pigs are pretty slow but right clicking the carrot on Stick actually makes the pig speed up what's even more surprising is that the heavy pigs can actually climb up ladders they've got some pretty strong legs if you put the dinner bone name tag on a horse you can still ride it the horse will be freestyling on its back somehow this also works with saddled pigs did you know armor stands can drown if you put an armor stand under water eventually bubble particles will start coming out showing it's drowning I guess that means armor STS are living you can climb up to four block tall pointed dripstone blocks this is an ultra efficient staircase when you kill most mobs they'll go on their sides but spiders are the only mob that does a 180° flip when it dies zombies can't jump over aelia bushes so make sure to surround your house with them to create a natural looking barricade most people just use a flint and steel to light Nether Portals but there are way more creative ways to light them you can use anything from lightning exploding beds or even gas Fireballs stop jumping on my crops you probably know that jumping on crops destroys them but it used to be so much worse in beta versions of Minecraft just walking on crops would break them however if you placed fences beneath the soil the crops would be immune from trampling have you heard of The Chopping enchantment it was once considered the worst enchantment you could put it on an Axe and it didn't do anything different later though The Chopping enchantment was renamed to cleaving and makes the axe do more damage and disables shields for longer this enchantment is found in the combat test snapshots Minecraft's menu screen can have all sorts of cool Splash tags however all references mentioning Notch the creator of the game were removed like made by Notch by throwing an ender pearl and then lowering your render distance you'll freeze the Pearl in an unloaded chunk you can then do whatever you have to do and once you're ready to teleport raise your render distance which will load the Pearl in and you'll teleport this is called Pearl hanging and pro speedrunners use it to travel across the world super quickly the endermite looks awfully suspicious to another mob Well turns out the endermite is just a textured silverfish that's a lot more purple this is a quintuple Pig spawner it's one of the rarest glitches to occur the glitch happens on this seed on version 1.16 if you wanted a cat in older versions of Minecraft you had to explore the jungles and find an ocelot these quick animals would have to be fed fish and then they'll magically turn into a cat this feature was eventually changed and now you can just find abandoned cats and villages to tame squids are cheaters outside of water they'll take almost no knockback too bad their weakness is air everyone knows you can milk cows but there's another secret mob you can milk you might be thinking the other mob is a pig or even a horse but the other mob is actually a goat I guess getting goat milk makes sense there's a way to become invincible in survival blocking with a shield while entering a nether portal makes the shield continue to be held out even once you exit the portal this allows you to both swing your sword at the same time as having your Shield held up did you know it's possible to make an ender dragon farm it works by shooting an arrow at light speeds using TNT and killing the ender dragon in a single shot it's pretty overpowered and can be used to farm dragon eggs and experience points the Amplified world type in Minecraft creates massive terrain but most people don't know it was created by accident when Jeb entered incorrect numbers into the world generation code most people think there's only one stronghold in the entire Minecraft world but there are actually way more and it's not just two to three extra strongholds in total there are 128 strongholds that generate in each World Minecraft blocks actually tell a story some chisled stone bricks have mobs engraved into them like the warden Reaper with skeleton and hogly in beta Minecraft Enderman used to drop diamonds instead of pearls I wonder how they got those what's the best way to fish it actually depends if you're looking to get primarily fish you should fish in Shallow areas because you get less treasure and more fish however if you want more treasure you should fish in deeper water so your bobber is surrounded by at least a 5x 5x4 area of water you may know that potions can be stored in cauldrons on the Bedrock Edition but something few people know is that the cauldrons will save the potion State you you can put throwable lingering potions inside it and if you pick it back up from The Cauldron it'll still be lingering will a totem of undying work on your head if you use commands to put a totem on your head and die it unfortunately won't work the totem only activates if it's in one of your hand slots Beacon pyramids can be made out of any mineral blocks whether it be gold iron diamonds but the combinations can also be mixed so the pyramid is made up of different ores this way you can fake a netherite bacon by just coating the outer layer the chiseled stone brick is actually not centered you can see the visual difference by placing a torch on top I can't unsee this when you write on signs the letters are actually floating in the air you can see it best by using a spy glass to zoom into the sides when you end water your fob is actually lowered by 10 this is done to simulate light refraction from real life if an Enderman is given invisibility their eyes are still visible the same goes for the spider's eyes and the blaze of smoke the nether portal can't be lit in the end which makes sense but if you cheat in another portal block then you can go through however when you enter back through the portal you'll be sent back to the Overworld Steve's skin has changed a few times Steve's skin used to have a beard but it was eventually shaped right off however in 2022 Mojang changed this and added the beard back but I always thought the beard was a smile you may know that sponges dry out in the nether but it actually happens in another biome in Bedrock Edition wet sponges placed in a dry biome like a desert will dry out after a few minutes just another reason you should never use furnaces to dry them you probably know that rain makes fishing more efficient but how much more if a bobber is directly exposed to the sky rain will reduce fishing Time by 25% dispensers can be used to dispense armor directly onto yourself but something lesser known is that this works with horses as well just point dispensers at a horse and you can equip Saddles and horse armor talk about a quick wardrobe change if you can't tell if a chest is trapped or not here's an easy test just place a red stone next to it and at the Redstone points towards it it's a trap chest but this doesn't happen to normal chests cauldrons left in the rain will fill up with water but if it is filled up with potions the water level won't go up Minecarts float on Bubble beams and you can create some pretty cool Contraptions with this feature if you send a mine cart going at fast enough speed it'll bounce across the water and then back onto rails putting a thick item like an iron block on an item frame will make it stick out from both sides can see this best when you put the item frame on a slab or fence did you know the Wither and Ender Dragon have names the Wither boss in Minecraft is officially named simmit and the Ender Dragon is named Jean by the developer hoglins can be very annoying to kill but good thing they're terrified of War fungi you can separate a baby hoglin from his parents and they'll both be too afraid to Cross or you can make them go crazy by trapping them inside a box surrounded by warped fungi this is what you get for hitting me the void is the deadliest thing in Minecraft it will kill you no matter how much armor you have but there is one way to survive it enchanted golden apples this player successfully survived 100 days in the void by filling up shulkers and his inventory with enchanted golden apples water is impossible to place in the nether in New versions of Minecraft psych just bring a cauldron to the Nether and place some water or if you catch on fire just splash yourself with a water bottle if you ever wanted to build a bubble elevator don't use water instead stack up with ice blocks above a soul sand block and then mine it all down with a pickaxe all the ice blocks will turn into water source blocks and the bubble stream will send you flying right back to the top piglins are super scared of this when you place down a blue lantern the piglin will Scurry away you can use a piston to open and close the light from either side of a wall making the piglin run in fear sight to sight better give me ender pearls next time the only way to get name tags is from loot chests but there's a way to duplicate them if you name a big slime with a name tag and then kill it each one of the baby slimes will have the same name as the parent slime if you name a Vindicator Johnny it goes crazy and attacks any nearby mob but it's actually pretty useful you can use this crazy Vindicator to attack animals and create a passive mob farm Enderman can't be shot with snowballs eggs or arrows but if you use a tipped arrow on the Enderman although the arrow would miss the Enderman still get the effect Minecarts are infamously slow but there's a way to make them go at suers Sonic speeds just put a boat in a mine cart and it'll race forward this is way more efficient than powered rails there's an infinite bone meal hack to do so you just use bone meal on a moss block and it'll sprout a bunch of mosses you can mine it all and put it back into a composter which will give slightly higher returns or you can just use a skeleton Farm pandas will eat anything you give it normally pandas will only eat bamboo but if you summon one holding an item it'll munch it down this works with any item from TNT to command blocks that must hurt its teeth a lot foxes will try to hunt and kill chickens but if you place lava above the chicken when the fox jumps to kill it the fox will burn completely it's a great way to give them Instant Karma and if you want to go even further you can make a machine like this one that will push the fox back each time it tries to jump after the chicken not today foxes can actually get stuck in the snow when foxes leap into the air to attack chickens they won't always hit their target sometimes when they miss their heads will be buried in snow and they'll have to wiggle their feet to get out normally flooding your house would be something you want to avoid but doing so will actually make it so mobs don't spawn inside however if you're not looking to devalue your base you can also just use slabs as the floor and they'll work too lava and dripstone is a deadly combo in Minecraft if you place lava on top of a dripstone block it'll make lava slowly drip down you can set up a glass chamber with a few lava dripstone blocks to literally rain fire on those annoying hostile mobs and crystals make amazing defense because they explode instantly you can set up the Ultimate Defense by aiming dispensers with snowballs at the end crystals and whenever trespassers come by flip the switch Minecraft crops grow super slowly but with this trick you can speed it up if you plan different crops and alternating rows it'll Quicken the growing process you can see the difference best when the different crop farming types are side by side there's no way you knew this if you drop an item into the ocean dolphins will start playing with it they'll Bop the item with their noses sending it flying too bad this only works in Java Edition in 2018 Minecraft held a cat boat to add a ninth Cat Skin to the game the three cats that made it to the the final boat were jelly Zach and Coco in the end jelly would end up winning which is actually the YouTuber good times with scars cat I'm just glad the middle C didn't win you can make a Five Nights at Freddy's head in survival a leather helmet on an armor stand is used as the mouth chest blades for years a Wither skull is set on the top of the head and lastly a brown wool block is squished in scary there's a way to harvest thousands of crops at once crops need light to survive so if you turn off all lights once the crops are finished growing all the crops will instantly break saving you tons of time wolves can't teleport to you if there is no safe space to teleport to but if you're completely surrounded in glass blocks the wolf has a superpower and can teleport straight into it because it's a transparent block and that looks painful piglins go crazy for gold and will even attack you if you're not wearing any to torture them set up a machine that drops gold and as soon as the piglin runs toward it the gold gets shoved into lava once the piglin sadly walks away gold is dispensed again the ultimate betrayal after getting their hopes up these lava pools are amazing for hiding secret bases the lava is held up by signs allowing you to jump right through and into a pool of water to make sure you don't take damage jump from a higher point to gain momentum just make sure you jump into the right spot hot hot help you may know that water can hydrate crops up to four blocks away but did you know it can work through air that's right it doesn't matter what blocks are between the farmland and water it'll still hydrate water normally extinguishes fire right well most of the time because you can shoot Fire charges straight into bubble columns and the fire charges will just float in the water how is this even allowed if you break the mob skull for some the same texture as breaking Soul Sand particles come out it's almost like the mob soul is trying to come out bats are supposed to negate all fall damage but sometimes it for some reason doesn't work this is because Minecraft's code is weird and if you fall exactly 49 blocks off a boat the boat just breaks and you'll end up dying what's weirder is if you place one block higher to 50 blocks you'll be perfectly fine this game is so weird well those are some Minecraft things you didn't know existed [Music] subscribe
