a deeper look at legacy's unobtainable items

[@icy76z29]

One time I saw my brother hop onto somebody’s Minecraft world on console and he saw or told me he saw some glitched out blocks and freaked out and left, I thought it was just some old dream that I had a long time ago didn’t know these blocks were actually real

[@albireo2990]

Maybe those were alpha slabs or something.

[@BlackoutBlakeOfficialYT]

I remember that you could "pick block" those blocks and replicate them endlessly on creative. Some people had jailbroken friends that'd join their world and spawn invisible blocks and other things so that it could be duped wherever wanted. ...Not including what kind of skins they'd wear. Weird ass skins, and even some that are a repeated image stretched as far as the render engine could go.

[@payayaa]

​@@BlackoutBlakeOfficialYTi used to do that lol. i always wondered if people actually saw my skins. turns out you can!

[@greminboye]

i once saw a miscolore grass block in a snow biome once when i was like 7 or 8

[@redmist6630]

u can get a few of them when u updat your xbox 360 world to bedrock. As well as keep your modified superflat worlds like one I made of entirely green and pink terracota like a watermellon

[@bugsbugsbugs5309]

Frosted ice was also obtainable via pick block in TU53 but they remvoved this in TU54. However in TU54 they added the ability to get farmland via pick block like on Java in 1.11. For some reason they removed the ability to obtain farmland via pick block a few updates later.

Interesting that the enchantment glint is stored in grayscale and manually recolored. I wonder if different glint colors were ever planned.

[@Alphie_]

@@Aluminum.K My intent wasn't to answer the question. It was simply to provide a possible explanation as for why it happens that way.

In later versions of the game on PS4, the pickblocking with a skull glitch still works, if you put one of the glitched skulls on it turns your head invisible. You also forgot to mention being able to pickblock waterlogged blocks and breaking them to get the water block.

[@MattNL]

Neat video! As someone part of the legacy r&d scene, I really appreciate a well researched video that is NOT filled with misinformation about legacy console for once. A couple of things I'd like to add though! The "grass" texture on the transmutated block is one of the crop stage 1 textures (probably wheat) but it can be any of them. And just to add to the fun, some obtainable items via inventory editing. Command Blocks (repeating, impulse, and chain respectively), minecart with command block (but only spawns a normal minecart), barriers, the dragon fireball (firecharge with a damage ID of 1), and the mysterious "debug_fourj_item" (which has a barrier texture and has all functionality stripped from final release). This is actually what the barrier item is pointing to on items.png. Great video. (:

[@MattNL]

Also, and this is odd, the lit redstone comparator is completely unobtainable in the final update. Powering a redstone comparator does not display the correct texture for the block itself.

[@Imperio_Otomano_the_realest]

looks like carrots stage 1? not sure. EDIT: it's wheat.

[@thewanderers97]

I remember hearing that the command blocks actually had proper textures for at least some texture packs e.g. plastic and candy, is this true? always found it odd that unused blocks would still get diligently retextured for every pack

[@Cybercerialdestroyer]

5:13 I remember in an official Minecraft map on bedrock edition you can find an old village structure but all the half stone slabs are quartz slabs (this map also released after the village update)

[@61pieces]

In Tu3 - Tu6, transmutation is also possible with methods similar to Java transmutation beta 1.7.3 - beta 1.8.

[@61pieces]

In Tu3 - 4, it makes it possible to receive smooth stone slab blocks. But once after Tu5, those smooth stone slabs will be turned into stone bricks.

[@TheKill3rCam]

​@61pieces why are you so intellegent?

[@61pieces]

@TheKill3rCam Because I tried the Java transmutation machines in title update 4 whenever there wasn't a source of spruce wood or cacti.

[@supahvaporeon]

Back in these versions, there was a kind of "damage value" system that got around numerical item values. If a block has a different value, it cant stack despite being functionally identical.

[@Imperio_Otomano_the_realest]

damage value?

[@supahvaporeon]

It's always nice to see stuff about legacy console!

[@CleverPunYT]

That bit at the end about "book banning" is interesting to me, I was on Twitter not to long ago when I found someone that made a redstone contraption that would crash the game consistently. Since I can't send videos, basically all you do is place a door, then place a stone block one block above and to the left of the door, a button to activate the door, SPECIFICALLY on the ceiling apparently, then place a piston facing both the door and button. Once you press the button the game crashes instantly. Though sometimes you'll get a couple frames out before it crashes.

[@El_Presidente_5337]

[@ds-kn1et]

Likely related to the skeleton skull glitch, in more recent versions, you can get an invisible skull if you decide to do the glitch, Wich removes a player's head! There's also some skins that are just the head, so you can actually become invisible, although name tags still show

[@reneablackheart9563]

With pick block, if you place seagrass in water and then use pick block as soon as you break it, you get a water block. This can be used to place water in the nether, which actually has a unique color

[@Imperio_Otomano_the_realest]

I wonder how far back the nether color goes? I think you can also see it with setting the biome of a superflat world to nether.

[@SnoFitzroy]

The metallic looking block is probably the texture for the enchantment glint. I’ve done texture packs before and the enchantment glint texture is grey, which might explain it.

[@henzou13]

block 4 and 5 are both visible with NO cheats, actually! if you play minigames, you might've found areas of the lobby that are glitched and are missing their normal colors, being replaced with grey (similar to these blocks) these glitches usually appear in the lobby at the bow & arrow area, it happened to me many times in PS4 edition, but no idea if it can happen in other editions

[@Imperio_Otomano_the_realest]

the creative mode torch is actually something that persisted on bedrock edition. they can be grouped together, but it's a noticeable issue in MC education crafting recipes. i'm still 90% sure it's related to charcoal/coal shenanigans. p.s.: the xray block is stage 1 wheat seeds, the metallic block is enchanted item glow, and the Weird leaves are all the leaf textures before the green coloring applied, because the green color depends on biome (I think so, at least)

[@barple367]

the only thing i could think about pick block creating unique copies of each head item is probably a remnant from java edition that got ported over, but has no real functionality. in java edition you could pick block a player head with a unique skin to give you a unique head. legacy console edition seems to have quite a few leftover stuff from java edition that never really had anything done with it after being ported over. something to add onto that fact while being relevant to the video is locked chests, which i'm surprised never made its way into this video. the only way you could obtain those is through the debug menu of TU0-TU4 or by save modding. they serve 0 purpose in Xbox 360 edition and they function exactly the same way they do in beta 1.6.6, but it's just leftovers from java edition. I've heard tell that they cause everybody but the host to get disconnected if you're in an online lobby once you place them. You can still interact with them, and they technically have a prompt to be interacted with, but nothing happens. i should probably make my own video of obscure legacy edition facts cuz i got quite a few in my brain
