I'm sorry for the biggest "uhm actually" moment I've ever had, BUT. The girl at the top of the Donkey Kong levels is NOT Princess Peach, but rather a generic character named Lady that gets later retconned into Pauline! Just thought I'd share that bit of trivia :) Great video, always excited to learn new things about one of my favourite games!

[@CrimsonKage]

Don't forget, that Mario at the time started out unnamed, then became 'Jumpman'.

[@RobinRhombus2]

Additionally, it's not merely a reference to Donkey Kong, it's a real life painting by Kristopher Zetterstrand.

[@Encephalophage]

To add whipped cream to your cherry on the "uhm, actually" cake: The game that the character in the other two paintings is from is "King's Quest", not "Kingdom's Quest" as he said Two in one segment!

Maximus Xavier try not to correct every little thing challenge (impossible)

[@_Abjuranax_]

The Nether Fortress Wells are actually the Nether Fortress Hubs, and the rest of the Fortress generates from them. While not necessarily in the center, all parts of the Fortress can be accessed from the generation point. Also, if you take a Map to the Nether that was generated in the Overworld, you will be able see your Cursor move on the Map, albeit at 8x Speed.

[@Eyecraftmc]

Interesting info!

[@leahallcorn3918]

These are interesting, don't be surprised if they're in the next video lol

[@_Abjuranax_]

@@Eyecraftmc Gold Blocks are also the softest Beacon Blocks, with Netherite being the Hardest and the others being the same. So Gold is the most useful Block for building portable Beacons, as you can remove them the fastest.

[@MD5Gaming]

i believe a map generated in the overworld will only work in the nether on bedrock. correct me if I'm wrong though

[@andrewlodge8065]

I think the chiseled quartz block is supposed to represent the elder guardian

They need to add those swamp villagers fully, a new village for them. That should've been part of the last update actually. I wear a dripleaf on my head as part of my skin. I'd love a whole base full of drippy villagers.

Same. The gentle speaking helps, it feels like listening to a lecture :)

Actually, on your Wet Sponge point that’s very interesting because Wet Sponges CAN be stacked! So technically you could carry around a stack of 64 water, a furnace, coal and a single bucket instead wasting a ton of inventory space on a bunch of water buckets which CAN’T be stacked. Thanks for this fact!

[@kaidenkelley]

Ice?

[@m0rthaus]

Or, a lava bucket, as it is fuel

[@LOLWHATBRO]

​@@m0rthaus or... 2 buckets full and then you van pick it back up indefinitely

[@jpheitman1]

The sponge/bucket tip is great for nether bases. Bring a stack of wet sponges and a stack of empty buckets, and you can get as much water as you need for brewing in the nether!

[@--Ghost--]

Oh nice, I was struggling to see the point of it but that does make sense

[@RafaelMunizYT]

and you don't even need that many buckets, one or two per cauldron is ok

[@isabeluelmen9727]

ALSO, when Lightning strikes a Mooshroom, it will change color. If it's a red mooshroom, it will turn brown, and if it's a brown mooshroom, it will turn red. Brown mooshrooms allow you to get Suspicious Stew instead of Mushroom Stew if you feed them a flower used in the type of Suspicious Stew you want.

[@LiveforHM]

4:35 The cut before you fall is pretty funny

[@spode9047]

i didn't knew the blindness effect disabled sprinting, however one thing i knew about it is that it also disables critical hits, which is pretty interesting although it's the last thing i'd be worried about when actually blind

I've been playing Minecraft for over 10 years and it has become an important part of my childhood, but I still learn something new every time I watch your videos. Something about your content is so relaxing to watch and it means a lot to me considering the global situation. Thank you, Eyecraftmc.

[@MD5Gaming]

Minecraft is awesome 😎

[@asulhernandezuy7415]

I hope minecraft finds a way to reference potion recipes in the game. I'm thinking of using the witch's hut to include bits of recipes/knowledge of how potions work. If the devs can include ruined portals for the nether then why not potion books??

[@LOLWHATBRO]

yes... its just random stuff to make potions that basically forces you to google it or continuously make mundane potions lol

[@Tazerboy_10]

Yeah

[@Tazerboy_10]

​@@LOLWHATBRO- Literally, making mundane/awkward potions...

[@chriswillis2181]

Genius. :) There is lore in much of Minecraft, but I am surprised books/book & quill isn't used for this purpose. Even the wither gets a carved block & a painting. Witches should get potion books. I think it would be good for lore and also be a helpful guide. I know more about the wither than I do potions. :(

[@billvickers9149]

I just got into minecraft a week ago with my daughter. My son's 13 and been playing it since he was 3. I always assumed it was a silly simple game. How wrong I was. This game is awesome!

Vanilla tweaks actually has an option to add a recipe book to the brewing stand. It’s extremely helpful, a little difficult to read but nonetheless helpful. It’s basically just a retexture of the gui

[@Dubstequtie]

17:41 Here is an extra extra extra not known fact about Minecraft that most people will think I am lying when saying but I am 100% not, When a Mooshroom gets struck by lightening, it will turn into a BROWN Mooshroom. It's the coolest mob in the game. You're welcome.

[@contearah]

And if you feed it a dandelion you can milk it for healing suspicious stew

[@Megthep3p]

The Brewing Stand might not have a recipe book because it might've been designed with experimentation in mind (think the different items that can be used to make potions, either resulting in a dead end or a new effect)

[@cecillewolters1995]

Would've been cool if it where an empty book that fills up automatically after discovering a potion

[@Megthep3p]

@@cecillewolters1995 I definitely agree with this instead of finding the ingredients to unlock the recipe, cause it keeps that discovery aspect and allows players to reference previous findings

Why would you pass such a cool auto generated structure??? 😫 It’s so rare too.. I haven’t found one yet

[@Loberless]

8:30 there is a way to open the door naturally from outside! Drop a block on the ground directly above the sculk sensor (marked by a chiseled block) and this will start the comparator cool-down clock, allowing you time to get to the door and walk in. Also, the fortune enchantment doesn’t affect leaves. Edit: Fortune does affect leaves.

[@YamiArchangel]

From the Minecraft wiki: "Fortune increases the probability of ... saplings and sticks dropping from leaves". Specifically, Fortune 3 increases Jungle sapling drop rate from 1/40 to 1/24, and other saplings from 1/20 to 1/10.

[@chaos6638]

I've never seen an ankh with two holes, but of course, such artifacts do get makeovers from time to time varying from person to person.

[@yipyipyipi]

Pretty sure the eye on the quartz is a guardian from the underwater ruins, given that the rest are all faces of enemies in game.

[@alexdenommee3219]

Lol the geode fact, maybe you should check how common they are on any recent seed with chunkbase. Basically at least a quarter of the amethyst geodes I found were full. Found many hanging like monster eggs over lava lakes in giant caves, a few in ancient cities, etc.

[@ggaming8999]

I just wrote my own recipe book for potions. I think it's cool having players on a server who are more able to make these, it's fun trolling with invisibility and nobody even knowing how to make them If there was a menu everyone would be able to make them and it'd kind of lose its vanity

[@nando448]

2:08 it’s actually Pauline from Donkey Kong

[@CoinGuyMC]

Thanks Eyecraft! I only knew a few of the things. Also, do you have a tip for not thinking that powder snow is normal snow and then getting stuck? Thanks! By the way your videos are amazing

[@thomasscott6702]

Regular snow has an extra layer of snow on top of it.

[@Bob_Smith19]

Wear leather boots when exploring snowy areas.

[@michaelcreates2222]

If you crouch, you won’t go past powder snow as if it was air

[@CoinGuyMC]

@@Bob_Smith19 There are no cows in the area unfortunately.

[@Eyecraftmc]

Powder snow doesn't have shadows so it will appear lighter than normal snow especially at the edges, also the texture is less smooth and move pixelly

[@thelegend5586]

The swamp villagers should have tree houses. Think it would look pretty lit. And the tree houses fenced of course so the villager cant jump out.

[@everdrowsy3989]

There actually is a way to get into the ancient cities' redstone room naturally! Eating anything! If your sculk sensor isn't covered by wool for the waterlogged block and you eat pushed up against the door, it will open!

[@lordfeebasyt5571]

Loved the video, but i just need to point this out. Mario saves someone named Pauline in the donkey kong games, Princess peach is who gets rescued from bowser in the main series

[@cryzed_9726]

The brewing stand not having recipes is meant to have "room for experimentation and for failure" to properly make a potion, and it makes some sense, a thing I'd like is a throwable explosive potion that you can make that can and can't explode blocks depending on the ingredients used

[@jeromepontza5829]

They’re supposed to indicators of other end gateways locations to take you back to the main island in case you lose your original entrance gate

[@maximzaporojan6966]

Yeah end gateways can spawn out in the outer end islands, albeit I think around 2x rarer than end cities, although that's not that much, it's there so that if you travel out like 5000 blocks to an end city, you don't have to walk all the way back, you just have to find an end gateway.
