1:15 Having watched Real Civil Engineer's _Infra_ playthrough, I can say with confidence that the reason why Minecraft concrete is so weak is because it has no rebar - it's just powder hardened with the water. Concrete needs iron or steel rebar to have the strength people associate it with, and if you see said rebar, you'd best get out of there.

[@anthonymarx9643]

7:00 Oh I'm fairly aware of how large the monument is... I once had a double monument spawn as a result of updating a world to include the underwater update. I made that place into a farm and it took about a week to do. No flying machines were used, just stacks of sand and slimeblocks with some sponges (note the sponge room was deleted by the overlapping structures so mine came from the 7 or so elder guards in the area.)

Fun fact, you can build something with the end gateway in bedrock. If done in the overworld, it will act as a normal block. But it wont be visible on the map

Mojang: Renames Grimstone to Deepslate because it's too grim. Also Mojang: Let's call this brown block with horrified faces *Soul Sand*.

This actually happened to me completely by accident back in the day. Ended up using it for a portal room decoration.

Bugrock moment

[@idtent2960]

I was on a large realm with my friends when i discovered this bug, i duped the end gateway so i had infinite amounts of them, they aren’t able to break and you cant use them as portals so i used them as floors and to grief a certain players house that was always rude to me

4:19... cobble stone turning into stone refers to superheating the cobblestone to be formed; where stone brick to cracked brick is "over cooking" causing it to crack.

[@sonicplushadventures2294]

Wow. Cooleo

[@MysticalApple]

5:57 while the end portal itself looks identical, the eyes looks slightly different when facing in different directions, so its possible to tell that way

@Emily An oh and also botted subscribers + (probable) ip grabber links in your “about me” section

[@mickey_mousey]

Fun Fact: The towers you showed in 13:10 are in fact STEAM towers for Nuclear reactors and the most harm they cause is heating up the air above them a bit or killing some birds that fly directly into them. (From heat not radiation.) They're not bad for the environment whatsoever. :D

The beacon dropping when u break it with your hand actually makes sense because imagine how disappointing it would be to obtain a beacon then have it disappear because u accidentally broke it with ur hands instead of a pickaxe

[@swaggychicken.]

like a person wouldnt notice the time it is taking to break the block

then they should make it drop a nether star if mined with the incorrect tools, not make it breakable with a hand

Random trap door fact - inspired by Jaded Ladders from Jadedcats modded minecraft they added the functionality of trap doors to be climbed up when above a ladder. It was such an intuitive and useful change and allows for some very smooth transitions and hidden ladders.

[@shesedit3429]

Fun fact: Raw blocks (such as raw iro raw gold and raw copper) Can be found naturally generated in the caves (Im not sure if it works on both java or bedrock but it works on bedrock)

#14 at 4:08 actually kinda makes sense cause if you were to over-cook the stone it would begin to crack, the weird part would actually be the cobble to stone part.
