- [Skip] 25 insane ways to use
command blocks in Minecraft. Command blocks are capable of
some pretty amazing things. All of which is possible
in Vanilla Minecraft, even if it's sometimes looks like mods. And that's what we'll see today. Number one. Over the years, Minecraft skeletons have seemed to get better at aiming, which is great for them, and bad for us. So if you wanna have
an easier time dodging, and look cool doing it, then
this is well worth a shot. See with these command blocks, we can essentially rewrite
how the arrows move, letting us get away scot-free, and leaving the skeletons
confused as to what happened. So for whatever reason, you can't get a copy of
Superhot on your device, now, at least you've got
a solid demo to try out. Number two, Minecraft's a world made of blocks, not circles, not triangles, but blocks. Which is great, but it
makes a site like this, look even more cursed. Though, while this might
seem like some wacky mod, it's actually all possible within vanilla. As the Minecraft genius, Sethbling shows, using a mixture of invisible
shulkers and armor stands, we can create a fairly convincing 45-degree slope in our world. And while some of the
blocks, like diamond ore don't work quite right, it
is still impressive to see just how much is possible here. Even if it does feel illegal to watch. Number three, clearly, command blocks are capable of some pretty wild things. But, what this user pulls off, feels like an act of science fiction. See what's happening
here, is that the machine can scan the blocks within the area, assign them to a particle, and then recreate a copy down below. Meaning you only have
to build one big statue, and you get a little
souvenir for the same effort. And even better, it'll even
rotate for proper display, which I've got to say
is a lot more exciting than just another static statue. Number four, a TNT explosion can pack quite a punch. But, while that's already true, we can dial it up a notch. So what if instead of just
destroying the blocks, it also launched the debris? Well, the results can
get pretty ridiculous, and it makes blowing up your friends base even more gratifying. So if you're looking to
cause some proper chaos in the server, this is a
solid option, for sure. Just make sure you computer
strong enough to handle it. Otherwise that house
won't be the only thing that's going up in smoke. Number five. Now whether you call this GIF or Jif, chances are, we've all seen them. And while they're
commonplace, in Minecraft, they're are a lot more rare, which makes this item
frame a real sight to see. Though, what's crazier still, is that this is all done
without using any mods, meaning we can not only play these animations within our world, but we can also record
some of our own as well. And while I wouldn't use this to record your next hardcore let's play. It's still an amazing feat
of Minecraft engineering, and it offers up some
hilarious gags as well. Number six, by this point, we've
all seen the Easter egg for naming a mob dinnerbone. But this time, instead of just
turning the mob upside down, it also changes the gravity to boot. Which is definitely a wild sight. And yet it's also surprisingly
simple to pull off. See, all this happening here is that we have a repeating command block that constantly checks for any mobs named dinnerbone. And then when it finds one, it applies to levitation effect, and poof, they're off just like that. Giving us quite the harmless prank to use, next time your friend's online. Number seven, complex doors are staple of the Redstone community. Well, while Mumbo can show you how to make 40 of those
in a couple of minutes, I bet you won't see
one of these too often. And folks, your eyes don't deceive you. This is built entirely
within vanilla Minecraft. Albeit, it did take the creator around 1200 command blocks to build. But the result of which
is still pretty special. And, honestly, I wouldn't even know where to start building one of these, but luckily the smooth animation
is something that we can all enjoy through the world download. Number eight, if you look at a sheep, it doesn't seem like the smartest of mobs. But what if I told you that these things are actually masters of disguise? Or at least they will be. See, by setting up the command
blocks that we have here, our sheep turned from mindless mobs, into proper chameleons
being able to blend in with the surroundings, like so. Yeah, well they probably
don't run across colors this vibrant in the wild, it is still cool to see
this effect in action. And honestly it's a lot more unique than just yet another sheep named Jeb. Number nine, Steve's addition
to smash bros was a huge deal. And not just to see
this character rise from solo-made indie game into legend status, but also just to see how cool it'd be if mine carts worked like
this, instead of this. And, since that reveal trailer,
it's been not just a want, but a need to have this in the base game. And thankfully we have just that. With commands, we not only have a minecart that can place rails in front of it, but it'll also right across water, lava, and even different dimensions,
which is just insane. Number 10, parkour is a pretty
straightforward concept. You have a goal, and you
have to jump to get there. I mean, it's not rocket science. But to spice up that idea, we need to talk about parallel universes. Or, more specifically,
using command blocks to jump between two realities, like so. See, as it's laid out, we
not only have to make sure where we land our jump, but also switch to the right clock to make the blocks appear. And if you ask me, that really
takes your jumping puzzle to another level, literally. Number 11, building a house is a tale
as old as time in Minecraft, but having the game build house for you is a bit more exciting. That's why this display of a house built entirely of falling
blocks is so wild to see. What's happening here is that
we have a command block array, perfectly timed to launch
each and every block into its respective place, until it finally gives
us our finished result. And full disclosure, for this to work, you will need a flat surface. Otherwise those building blocks will just collide with one another
and fall, right off course. Number 12, picture the situation, you're
walking around your world, axe in hand, and then right as you go to close your door after you enter, you accidentally strip
the logs on the side. It's an annoyance for sure, but thankfully, not a permanent one. Since with this set of commands provided, we get a vanilla friendly
way to fix our mistakes. And now when you use your axe on a log, you'll get the bark back as an item. And from there we can patch it up, and no one will ever have
to know about that mistake. Number 13, building in Minecraft as an art form, and like any art form you're
bound to make mistakes. So to simplify that process, it'd be nice to have some kind of way to undo and redo the blocks that we place, that way, any time spent
on making a mistake, doesn't have to mean time spent fixing it. But, this is that fix. And here, all we have to
do is click how many blocks we want to undo from
the history in the chat, and boom, it's as simple as that. So even if this only makes it easier for me to fix that
circle I built lopsided, that's plenty well, for me. Number 14, shooting a bow in Minecraft
is a good skill to have. But figuring out where
the arrow's gonna land is tough to train. So that's where this comes in. See, as this user shows, we can use command blocks
to set up an indicator of where the projectile will land, using a simulated trajectory. And, while the science to pull this off is a lot of math that goes over my head, it is a useful tool, if
you ever need to prepare for a sniper duel. Letting us turn that
boring physics homework into an exciting real-world demonstration. Number 15, sometimes when you're fighting a creeper, it's bound to explode. Which is fine, accidents happen. But, it's no treat having to fill in the newly exposed
creeper hole by yourself. So instead, wouldn't it be nice if the world just did it for you? Well, it's not as crazy as it sounds. See, the idea here is
that any creeper explosion is fully repaired, like so. Even including chests filled with items. Which, in my eyes, is
a lot more interesting than just setting the mob
griefing game rule to false. And it definitely looks cooler. Number 16, when you're building in Minecraft, it's nice to use a bit of
variation to improve your build. But deliberately placing
blocks randomly is hard to do, and oftentimes doing it
wrong can leave a build, looking noisy and unfocused. So for an easier time, this tool might help out
your next creative build. See the way that it works, is that our hot bar slot will constantly rotate
to a different block. Meaning all we have to do is
hold down the right click, and the rest will be solved for us. Letting us get the results, without the stress that comes with. Number 17, shulkers are an invaluable item to have when it comes to storing your stuff. But, what if they could
store more than just items? Well, that's the idea behind this community-made mega shulker concept. Here, we can store a fully fledged build inside something like a structure block, and place it wherever we'd like. And, hey, we can even
store mobs inside, like so. Giving us a lot more freedom than just some measly 27 slots. So the next time you're
looking to move house, why not just actually move the house, instead of just the stuff inside? Number 18, traversing the nether
is a tricky business, and the open fields of lava
don't make that any easier. So if a strider isn't your style, then this method is well worth a shot. See as coded, we get something
of a lava boat to use in the second dimension. And while it's ridiculous, it's hard to say that a frost walker boat wouldn't be cool to try. I mean, I'd even love to
use that in the overworld, let alone the nether. And being able to drift to the nether fortress in style is
a great addition, no doubt. Number 19, keeping yourself safe is a top priority in Minecraft survival. I mean, some might even
call it the top priority. But how you do that is a different story. So while shields like this
definitely have their place, I's venture this human shield
is a lot more fun to use. See, with a simple setup, we can summon ourselves
an immortal villager buddy to block any and all
oncoming shots, like so. Letting us survive the night with these. And leaving nary a scratch
on our partner's outfit, which is a win-win. if you ask me. Number 20, breaking blocks is one of the
cornerstones of Minecraft. But, typically we only break those within a certain radius of the player, or at least that's how it used to be. But as it's coded here,
anytime that we shoot an arrow, it breaks the blocks that it lands on, allowing us to not only mine
stuff from a safe distance, but also opens up the possibility
for some new mini games. And I, for one, would love to play a game of Spleef like this. Especially using a multi-shot crossbow. Number 21, since the early days of
Minecraft mod reviews, one of the fan favorites
had to be the portal gun. Which is why, at least for me, it's a relief to finally have
this possible in vanilla. See, by copy and pasting this, let's face it, ridiculously sized command, and we've got it fully set up to let us experience the portal gun right out of the game. Letting us create the
orange and blue portals that we're used to, and
do so without having to type out all these
command blocks ourselves. And that's a welcome mix for sure. Number 22, note blocks can be a fairly robust tool, and plenty of clever composers have made some great music using this mechanic. But, understanding all the nuances needed to make that music is a tall order. So instead, this world not only gives us a way to program
proper sheet music, but also animates a piano
playing the song, like so. And that's definitely a welcome addition. So if you can sight read, but you lack the knack for Redstone, then I'm sure you'll find this tool to be music to your ears. Number 23, if you've been around for a while, you've probably seen this
trick done once before, that is if you ignite set of TNT like so, it ignites into a heart shaped
pattern that you see here. But, the dirty little secret is that this only works on bedrock. Or at least, it used to. But, with the help of
specific command blocks, we can make this trick
work in Java as well. And might I add, it
looks a lot more cutesy with the new method, as well. Which is a nice touch for sure. Number 24, Minecraft has blocks and it has mobs. And oftentimes you don't
see the two sides mix, but that changes today. Since, with the help of cleverly coded falling sand entities and armor stands, this Reddit user was capable of animating a proper functional jumping piston mob. And folks, this isn't done with
any mods or resource packs, but in fact, it's fully possible using just command blocks
or a data pack in vanilla. And the results are
equal parts ridiculous, and impressive to see. And honestly, this just feels like a Pixar reference waiting to happen. Number 25, playing Minecraft on a mobile device can sometimes be a limited
experience, to say the least. And that's in no small part, thanks to the awkward control scheme. So to make it easier to build while you play on your phone, this user had the right idea. This way, all we need to
use is set of spawn eggs to place our pre-programmed
parts of the build. Like the floor tile or a wall. And if you ask me, that's
gotta be the best example of working smarter, not harder. And with that folks, have a good one. Alright?
