30 MORE Minecraft SECRETS to Enhance Your Gameplay

[@Meloncolliepoet]

Two things. First, I like to use buckets of lava with my furnace because why waste coal? Also, you can put a lava block over a drip stone over a cauldron (I recommend setting up like five) and you basically have all the lava you'll ever need.

[@Avomance]

true true!!

[@HiimHusky]

But if you don't have dripstone you can go to the nether

[@CaineDM1955]

MASS STORAGE DESIGN: When making a vertical stack of double chests, many players will make them face-on, then feed them using a stack of hoppers behind. My complaint is 2-fold: ---each stack is 2 blocks wide. ---you have to open every chest to search, because even after emptying the bottom chest, you've no idea how full the chests above might be, unless you take the time to open each one. SUGGESTIONS: 1__Turn your stack 90°, with the hopper behind, & a dirt-block behind that (as "filler"), to make a 1*4-line. Put an upside-down stair over the near end of the chest, so it'll look like a solid block, but the chest can still open. Add a stack of solid blocks above the stair, as high as you want the storage stack to be. 2__Above the side of the chest next to the hopper, put a single chest. 3__Above the hopper, complete the double chest, & put a hopper on the opposite side. 4__Repeat (2_&_3) until you reach your preferred height. The first time, you'll just be "stairstepped" back by 1 block, but after that, the design zigzags back-&-forth, inside a 1*4 column of area that includes a purely cosmetic solid block, a hopper, & a double chest - but not always in that sequence. 5__To label the stack's contents, either use a sign/item frame on the stair, or replace a solid block from above the stair with a sample block from the stack's contents. 6__This 1-block-wide design tiles infinitely. 7__Use whatever sorting/filter design you want, & run it across the top of the stacks. RESULT: ---That filler-block in Step(1) removes an empty space, that might've otherwise allowed a baby_zombie to spawn. ---Whatever you feed into each stack will "zigzag" it's way down to the bottom chest, which is the only visible chest. ---Nothing will ever be stuck in the upper parts, & whatever you take from the bottom will be auto-filled from above.

Fishing in the rain is similar to real life. Fish swim closer to the surface because they attribute the rain hitting the water as insects or food tapping the surface. So they are more prone to bite on your bait.

[@sooth15]

Knew all of these. For Fact 8 I do believe you do NOT get more beetroot, only additional beetroot seeds with Fortune 3 and the same for wheat. For Fact 11 this also works with trap doors.

[@im2arrogant118]

Fish come to the surface when it rains because they think the water drops might be food. That's the real life reason fishing is better in rain.

[@thebunter]

I knew them all. The benefits of reading the Minecraft wiki. Some info on things you listed: The boat damage will be coded out in one of the upcoming releases. It's in one of the recent snapshots. You only get more of what you plant with the fortune tool. Beetroot only gives you more seeds not more of the beetroot. The breeding sheep of different colors doesn't always work. Sometimes you'll get a parent color. Fishing in the rain in real life gets you more fish or at least more fish activity. They just coded Minecraft to reflect that. Extra Secrets: Don't use glass for windows until you have silk touch. Use fences. They block the space like glass, you can see out and they're not destroyed when you use an axe without silk touch to remove them. very useful early game. Trapdoors can be used but always place them on the bottom of the surface so that baby zombies can't jump on the block when the trapdoor is open. If you don't have water breathing or respiration, just bring a bunch of doors to use archaeology underwater. just like the door in a shipwreck. Use Lanterns or Jack'o'Lanterns for light underwater. Unlike other partial blocks, sugar cane and bamboo can be planted on mud allowing you to collect the drops without needing minecarts just need hoppers. Much quieter.

[@Avomance]

wiki reader - always gonna do well :) some awesome ideas there too!!

[@bluejayofevil]

Fact 6: Spiders (both kinds) and the Warden are exempt from this. Fact 8: Fortune 3 on _any_ tool works the same on crops. Tools also *don't* take durability damage from being used for harvesting crops.

[@issacoh4775]

Here is why carrots of better than potatoes since this guy seems to hate them. Using carrots is better than any other food source when making an automatic villager breeder. Villagers need food to breed and they have 8 inventory slots. You use carrots to prevent inventory clogging since if a villager's inventory clogs, you would need to replace the villager. Potatoes can drop poisonous potatoes which will eventually clog a villager's inventory and almost every other food source drops seeds, which will clog up their inventory faster

[@Avomance]

You make fair and valid points!

[@PowerCheez]

Hmm... I scored 30. Not a lot of new knowledge. :) But for the new players I'm sure it's helpful. And it's always fun to listen to you! :)

[@pierre.dillon]

Fact 3: The boat fall damage was fixed. Fact 28: To add to your bucket of milk fact, similarly Honey bottles remove poison when drunk. (Great when dealing with a Witch!)

[@ConsistentlyInconsistent]

I'm pretty sure since 1.21 that bad omen effect doesn't happen when you kill a pillager captain. They drop ominous potions instead.

[@neetscholar4149]

You won't get more Beetroots from a Fortune 3 tool, only more seeds. Just like for Wheat. One could argue Golden Carrots aren't the best food in the game, only the best food THAT STACKS. A Suspicious Stew made with either a Dandelion or an Azure Bleuet will completely fill up both the food bar and saturation if you have at least 3 and a half morsels left. It lets you fill up something like 7 or 8 hearts from natural regeneration. Alternatively, if your goal is to regenerate health faster, a Suspicious Stew made with an Oxeye Daisy will give you a few seconds of regeneration. You will get something like 3 hearts from natural regeneration, AND 3 hearts from the few seconds of regen effect. Not as much health as the other Stew, but you got it back way faster. Fact 23, Ctrl + Pick Block, I don't think you mentioned it clearly, but this only works in Creative. BTW this time, I knew all of those.

[@Avomance]

Neet - you are bang on with that... I gues the best "food slot" then :)

[@Avomance]

and 30/30 - not too shabby!

[@CaineDM1955]

Renaming an item costs 1_xp. HOWEVER: Renaming an entire stack of 64 items, so that all will have the same new name, costs... ...just 1_xp - nothing more! It's a tremendous saving of both time & xp! Remember this, the next time you need several stacks worth of filler-items for your item-sorting filters. Whatever you don't use now, you can store for later use. I use this trick to store STACKS of (re-named) rotten_flesh from my mob-farms, so I'm always ready to add more items to my sorting/storage system. ALSO: I've not tested it yet, but I'm pretty sure that rotten_flesh can still be fed to dogs/wolves, no matter what it's been re-named.

[@AscendedFlow]

Raining increases rates of hooking a fish because just like real life, fish think there are bugs landing on the water so it confuses them into thinking it’s a good time to eat.

[@MrMunchman69]

That makes logical sense. My thought was because bugs get washed into the water.

[@uts4448]

Fact 21 could also include the woodland mansions. I found a woodland mansion with 2 big libraries. I left with STACKS of books.

[@darrelfischer465]

About the carrots. I have been using carrots to breed rabbits and trading with farmers. I keep all the potatoes for food or trading with farmers.

[@CruentusV]

4:46 - carrots can breed rabbits. rabbits are THE best unmodified villager trade. they can also supply hides (small semi-useless hides but they make the new, and semi-useless bundles, and can be combined for books, etc)...

[@darkbooger]

Fact 5 You can also do this with a relatively deep pitfall with carpet above it since mobs don't recognize the carpet itself as a block they can walk on. Fact 7 is something I used to transport villagers at one point which was funny Fact 8 is a bit of a misconception since Fortune really just yields more seeds rather than the crop itself which is why beetroot and wheat only gives you more seeds unlike carrots and potatoes which are treated as seeds themselves.

[@michaelmcconaha19]

I've never thought of using a slime block to support the conduit to get it up in the center of the matrix before. Still being able to break it easily with mining fatigue will make that so much easier. Brilliant!

[@dundeeangel2496]

I am shocked that anyone might not know about the dogs, maybe I use them more than other people. Everything you mentioned also applies to cats, additionally, if you breed together two dogs with dyed collars, the offspring will be born with the collar dyed as well (it's hard to see until they grow up) this is useful as when there are multiple people on a server, you can allocate a colour to each person, and know which pets belong to everyone. Also, did you know that with patience you can breed every colour of rabbit from any two rabbits? Baby rabbits have a random chance to come out any colour.

[@DutchDogMom86]

I thought the rabbitcolors only apply for the plains rabbits (brown, lighter brown with socks and black), all other colors are biome-specific

[@maxderp6588]

In bedrock (and i assume java) you can use a slime block in an ocean monument to place a conduit in a room with a 1 block space in a corner. When you break the slime block there should be enough wall and floor blocks to activate the conduit. The monument should be almost completely covered by the effect. You shouldn't have to worry about drowning while killing elder guardians.

[@THE_bchat]

I always place the conduit on a fence. Since it can be water-logged, I don't bother breaking the fence until I'm ready to leave the monument.

[@TimmyGC]

[@webyankee6558]

For Leather and Porkchops which are equal to Beef for food make a Hogilin farm in the nether. Do not understand what you said to copy sign text. Press OK what "CENTER" button is on a keyboard??????? I think most Java players use a keyboard. When building an iron farm use a husk or a disarmed pillager instead of a zombie. If you can't get those than build a U shaped fence around a circle of power rails and a mine cart going round and round. lure a zombie into the minecart then transport it into the farm. Always where a gold helmet in the nether, helmets loose the least amount of protection. Noob always think they need to build a shelter when all you need to do is make a small cave or dig a hole and cover yourself. Sometimes I make a high column and make it so skel can't shoot you and spiders can't climb up and a rood so phantoms will not spawn
