If you put 2 potions of the same kind in a cauldron, then a splash version of it, the potions you take out will automatically be in splash form, allowing you to save gunpowder

1:30 this trick also works with witches, any mob in the middle of using a potion that dies will drop it 100% of the time

[@dr.antonius8350]

Sadly, it is not the case. The potion has a 8.5% chance of dropping, increased by 1% for every level of Looting, just like skeletons' bows, piglins' crossbows and wither skeletons' swords.

[@sugreF_YT]

3:49 Dude I'm so glad someone finally talked about this. It's probably pretty useless in the regular game, but might have some fun uses is puzzle maps and such.

[@A7mary]

21: you can put a carpet on a amethyst block so when you walk in your base so it makes nice sounds while you are walking

[@BinglesP]

Maybe do it on the path entrance as a doorbell, to cut space on the Note Block alternative! And it also lets it play without having it play all the time too

[@fox4dayz278]

I'm gonna have to call you out on #11 since the "respawnblocksexplode" gamerule isn't actually hidden at all on Bedrock. It's right there on the world creation screen, right in between the "TNT Explodes" and "Mob Loot" options. A far more hidden feature is the "playersleeppercentage" command on Java Edition, which allows you to set a specific percentage of players required for skipping the night. Although, I'm not sure that one can be considered secret either since it can be found in the Gamerules menu in the world creation screen.

I use buttons to block water in bedrock edition. Much cheaper than signs, and works just as well.

[@RAlanMead]

Yeah, you can even put them on the ceiling!

[@gamerroyale828]

@@RAlanMead yes. And they don't block 4 pixels like trapdoors, which is an alternative but still somewhat costly

[@USureAbtThat]

the wandering trader one I knew, it's super useful early game when you can't brew potions C:

[@Yamihote]

Which trade did it have

[@silentrobin9234]

Fun fact : in bedrock edition, if you place the cauldron outside and then it rains, the rain fills up the cauldron. Another way to get water

[@GamerShyUncut]

Works in Java too.

[@impendent]

3:51 it can be done in another way just place water on top block of two block tall hole then place kelp to the top It will make them both source blocks Kinda like the bubble elevators

[@Stealthfang270]

Wow for once I didn't know most of these facts! I consider myself pretty knowledgeable in minecraft since I have been playing for a long time and like to look deeper into the game, but a lot of these I was unaware of, and some of these are very useful!

"If you've ever messed around with the spectator mode..." *cries in bedrock*

[@LzyLzr]

3:51 alternatively using one kelp on a flowing water block (2x1 water flowing down) will turn it into a source block giving you an even cheaper solution, but if you have kelp you’ll probably be near an ocean lol

[@NovaTikTokacount]

I love your videos watched every single one can you do a one block series pls :D

[@CuwzyOG]

love the pressure plate + item frame one, definitely gonna use that

[@ribcage3]

[@vincentwilson8384]

A better way to block the source of water from flowing is with invisible item frames

[@CJ_DJ]

Not in bedrock :(

[@Ocraftj]

I remember seeing some of these before, I was so confused. They seem amazing now!

[@Ze-ro-]

I like how I watch these and think "I should do this" but I never do.

Since spiders are invertebrates, in the anthropoid group, actually explains how Bain of Anthropoids got their name, since Bane of Anthropoids slays spiders the best. (Sorry for any incorrect spelling)

@Projit Not with that attitude!

You could use the item frame technique to make some "security cameras" or something. Idk commands or anything but it might be possible

[@RGC_animation]

Or you could just use a regular pressure plate?

4:07 you can actually do that in java but a little bit easier just grab a water bucket and some kelp and sand and 8 pieces of dirt. place the Sand and make a wall with the dirt place the water at the highest top and then with the kelp when you place it it will transfer it to water sources and so you duplicated water basically

The bottle filling method works in both versions.

[@HappyCarbs]

you can also make an infinite water source using one source in java by using bonemeal, as seagrass that grows inside flowing water will turn it into a source

The most efficient way to age copper blocks is to keep them in one pillar in one chunk by starting with one copper block pillar up with two none copper blocks and repeat, you can spend time doing whatever in that chunk until the copper blocks are aged! You can make even more pillars keeping them in the same chunk, just make sure they are two blocks apart on all four cardinal directions!
