did you know that you can craft
netherride into stairs or how about this
official trick to make an infinite lava
source and today we're joined by the
channel block facts to cover the 47
minecraft block facts you possibly
didn't know and hey youtube told me
straight up that absolutely zero people
have subscribed using their nose so if
you're up to the challenge park your
schnauz and that red button down below
it's free and it helps out a ton it's
physically possible to explode a block
of obsidian now obviously you couldn't
do this with regular tnt no matter how
many explode at once but if you use this
command to summon a prime piece of tnt
with an explosion power of 72 or above
it'll be strong enough to destroy a
piece of obsidian this here is called
invisible bedrock and if you can't see
what i'm talking about that's kind of
the point now this behaves much like the
barrier block except it's exclusive to
the bedrock edition of minecraft and it
was originally used in the game to
create these world boundaries around old
worlds but those world boundaries didn't
go past build height so if you just
built up high enough you could walk over
it this cactus is 23 blocks tall and
what's even more impressive is that
these characters spawned naturally
thanks to the minecraft at home research
project the community has discovered
seeds you can load up in java 1.14.4 and
see this huge cactus so if you need a
bunch of green dye i'd say this is a
good start in the snapshot 12w32a we got
a new block called work in progress a
catchy name i know but even unfinished
i'm sure any minecraft veteran can
notice that this eventually became what
we call the beacon block though to get
there it had to go through four separate
texture variations which definitely
lives up to the work in progress name
after all turtle eggs are stronger than
you think because even though these eggs
can't support the weight of the player
or other mobs they can support lanterns
that are either placed above or below
them but it's worth noting that the
lantern does look like it's floating in
those cases so maybe that's why they
don't break it was never there in the
first place and then the right beacon
looks expensive but how much would it
cost well all the ancient debris alone
would be
5904 pieces and all of those items would
take up 92 and a quarter stacks and fill
up nearly three and a half shulker boxes
which makes this one by wadzie even more
impressive the reason that beds explode
in the nether is because not just lazy
well that's an oversimplification but he
has gone on records saying that this is
the easiest solution to whether or not
the player should respawn in the other
dimensions and it's funny to think that
just with that little decision it made
for an entirely new form of combat in
the way of bed bombing in case you
didn't know leaves in bedrock edition
turn white when you leave them in the
snow but if you play that version and
you never noticed that might not be your
fault since it's not an instant
transition and instead it'll take some
time in the tundra before it finally
changes their tone bamboo grows fast too
fast in some cases and as it is it'll
only take 500 bamboo stocks in an
automatic farm like so to produce more
items than a hopper can actually process
meaning that this simple farm produces
more than two and a half items per
second usually when you craft something
out of wood it'll look like it's made of
oak but there are exceptions to that
like how item frames and fletching
tables look like they're made of birch
barrels look closest to spruce
cartography tables and grindstones have
a dark oak base and things like chests
and jukeboxes don't look like any wooden
plank but sadly acacia is left out if
you place tnt over a slab and then
ignite it it'll have a much smaller
blast radius than if you explode on the
ground in fact there are cases where
only the slab will be destroyed leaving
the rest of the block safe and i
wouldn't worry about this getting
patched any time soon since it's been
opened and unresolved on the bug tracker
since 2014. if you look closely you'll
notice that bedrock and stone look very
similar and the reason is that in all
versions the bedrock texture is just a
very high contrast version of the stone
texture and this is true whether using
the current textures or the old
programmer art textures but hey the same
is basically true for end stone and
cobblestone so it's fair if you get a
mob to stand on top of a cake it'll just
keep rotating in place completely unable
to move and this is due to a path
finding oversight in their ai code which
is why the same thing happens on fences
as well how many items does it take for
an iron pressure plate to give a full
redstone signal of 15. well if we throw
all the items on there in total it would
take 9 stacks and 22 items minimum or
just shy of 600 items or you know use a
redstone torch minecraft veterans
remember a time when we didn't need to
use blaze powder to brew up our potions
so why did this change well according to
one of the game's developers sarge it's
so the game's progression wouldn't be
thrown off since when they added an
igloos it would have been less important
to go to the nether if you could just
find a bruins stand right underneath one
in the overworld here's how you get wool
in a desert now that sounds ridiculous
since you're not gonna find any sheep
out here but back in 1.3 it was possible
since desert temples generated with wool
for the colorful bits though when
terracotta was added in as hardened clay
those patterns were quickly replaced and
as a matter of fact if you were to break
every piece of terracotta in a naturally
spawned desert temple you'd be left with
55 pieces 54 of them orange and one blue
from the center these gears used to be
in vanilla minecraft see in the java
edition in dev phase there were these
flat gears that could only be broken by
letting water into them or exploding it
and if you tried to break them like a
normal block it would just break the
block behind them and maybe that's why
this buggy feature never made it into
the official game this light block is
the only high definition texture in
minecraft at least it was before the
texture changed in snapshot
21w18a the java edition light blocks had
a 32x32 texture instead of the 16x16
that we're used to if we take a close
look at any of the minecraft doors
you'll notice that they have two sets of
hinges on the opposite sides instead of
just one functional hinge and while that
might seem like a bug or mistake mojang
did confirm on the bug tracker that this
is actually intentional and if you look
at the comments it seems like some
players aren't too happy about that
sorry conor i don't think they're gonna
fix it did you know steve can sprint
twice as fast as a full speed minecart
sure enough if you were to sprint jump
on a blue ice tunnel filled with
trapdoors like so it's possible that the
player can move at a top speed of 18 and
a half blocks per second and if you were
to build this in the nether we can
consider it eight times faster than the
overworld but doing that will cause your
hunger bra to drop just as quickly so
bring plenty of steak for the journey
when they were first added minecraft
saplings used to look like this they
were only two colors just tan and green
but only six days later they were given
a new texture that looks a lot more like
how they look today what's the
difference between this fence gate and
this one that we have right here well
it's hard to notice but when you place a
fence gate next to a wall it'll stoop
down a little bit lower to match the
height of the cobblestone wall but what
the cobblestone walls lack in size they
more than make up for in volume and in
fact if you were to craft a stack of
cobblestone into cobblestone walls you'd
be left with exactly enough walls to
fence off one 16x16 chunk why is this
pattern called thing well it's not just
mojang being humble there's actually a
good reason for it if you were to
translate the word mojang from swedish
it would roughly translate to the words
gadget do hickey or thing according to
notch torches were supposed to burn out
after a while but this never made it
into the official game however if you
play the job edition 2.0 snapshot they
do just that and you'll even need a
flint and steel just to re-ignite them
once they burn out which is annoying so
let's just hope this stays as an april
fool's joke this is not a light grey
shulker box at least it wasn't in
snapshot 16 w w39b but rather in this
experimental build it was referred to as
a silver shulker box instead and
understandably it was changed just the
day after to match the standard names of
the die and while we're talking about
light grey i'd like you to take a look
at this stained glass paint can't see it
well that's actually the point since the
texture is flat and the inventory screen
is light grey it's almost impossible to
see a single light grey stained glass
pane like this and according to mojang
that's intentional what's the most fuel
you can put in a furnace well even
though a lava bucket is the single best
item if you put in a full stack of coal
blocks it can smell for over 14 hours
straight which is just over 42 full
minecraft days of smelting that's more
than 50 times better than a single lava
bucket but you would need 576 coal to do
this so better get fortune on your
pickaxe before we even got concrete
confirmed for the snapshots jeb first
showed off the concept in a video posted
in february 2017. and in this clip we
see an early texture for the pink
concrete powder and how it would
eventually harden on impact with water
back in javadition classic when you
broke a wood log it would drop the
planks instead of the actual block which
seems more like mine than craft to me
and moving from logs to another
counterparts you'll notice that the
crimson and warp stem blocks are the
only logs in the game that have an
animation i would bet that most of you
have never experienced this minecraft
fact because frankly i hadn't either but
if you were to press a button next to a
bell there is a chance for the bell to
play its ringing sound in reverse much
like this
at some point it was possible for
endermen to move around and place cactus
blocks meaning it was theoretically
possible for enough endermen to increase
the population of cacti in a desert and
keep planting more as they grow which is
just as terrifying as it sounds trust me
maybe they made the really tall cactus
from earlier it turns out piglets are
the reason that there's no more
netherite ore in the game only the
ancient debris that we're left with at
least that's according to this official
minecraft article for 1.16 in this it
says that pure netherrite ore no longer
exists since the piglens mined it all
out of the nether which begs the
question why would they switch from
netherrite to gold tools so clearly
they're not that smart if you were to
try to use your diamond pick to mine a
block of obsidian underwater while not
standing on solid ground it would take
you just shy of 4 minutes at 234 seconds
and for that effort just place a door
and do it in 9.4 seconds back in the
survival test for java edition when you
would mine gold ore it would drop one to
three golden blocks instead of golden
ingots of the ore itself and if only it
still worked that way huh but here's the
real question for you which came first
gold or diamond well not only did gold
come first but the diamond blocks
texture is just the same as the block of
gold but with a bluish tint and that's
true with the old programmer art and the
new textures that came with 1.14's
texture update 809 quadrillion that
sounds like a big number but it's
actually how many uniquely crafted
banner patterns there are with 16 blank
banners 38 patterns of 16 colors each
and up to six patterns per banner we can
get this giant number though that
includes a lot of duplicates because
these two inverted patterns do look the
same but they count as separate entries
and don't stack leg turns were added in
1.14 but dinner bone wanted them in the
game much sooner in fact back in 2012
tinderboat talked about a way to add in
a stand that would make it easier to
read the written books but after various
complications the idea was scrapped and
it wouldn't return until 2019 seven
years later this might look like a crate
but it's actually a piston see in older
versions of the game it was possible to
do a glitch called block update
suppression and with this we could make
this weird piston block that has a
piston head on all sides and hey the
same was possible for sticky pistons too
in vanilla minecraft it's entirely
possible to have a candle that's lit on
fire even when it's underwater and with
the nbt tags like so we can summon in
that candle or if you're in java just
use a debug stick like cell you know you
can make stairs out of netherrite it's a
big flex but in the april fool's
infinite snapshot there was a special
stair block called the swaggiest stairs
ever and to get these they'd only
naturally generate in the so-called
missing dimension so don't expect this
in vanilla any time soon now why is this
quartz block better than this one well
by default quartz blocks have a low
blast resistance but if you were to use
two quartz slabs or a smooth quartz
block instead you can make a
substantially stronger four than the
alternative without sacrificing the look
of the regular quartz tnt doesn't
explode underwater but if you add sodium
to it you get this special underwater
tnt and this blue variant only exists in
the education edition though to do this
in other versions just place a sand
block above tnt ignite it it'll explode
underwater just the same according to
the official minecraft combat handbook
you can make an infinite lava source if
you were to make a cross shape of nether
bricks and then add lava to the middle
okay but that's obviously fake man even
dinnerbone confirmed that it was false
but even though this did come out in
2014 we would eventually get renewable
lava when we got the drip stones and the
caves and cliffs update so the concept's
true but this is just a blatant lie
every time that you place a coral block
in minecraft mojang donated one cent to
charity after bedrock players have
placed 10 million coral blocks
underwater mojic decided to donate 100
000 us dollars to the nature conservancy
project and while i'm not so sure if
they're still offering that i will say
that we'll do the same so for every new
subscriber that we get from this video
we'll donate one dollar to the nature
conservancy up to a thousand people so
by just hitting that red button you can
help to protect coral reefs all around
the world and if you're already
subscribed don't unsubscribe and
resubscribe just use your mom dad
brothers sisters phone whatever and have
them subscribe so that we can turn our
coral reefs from this into this and with
that folks youtube thinks that you might
like this video so see if they're right
and have a good one alright
