a deeper look at legacy's unobtainable items

i wanted to take a deeper look at legacy console editions unobtainable items

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

[@albireothestarthebacklight2990]

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.

[@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.

[@desertracer619]

3:30 Block 1 and 2 are wheat seed textures, and block 3 is the enchantment glint overlay texture for enchanted items.

[@harrypotamus4968]

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

[@Alphie_]

@@harrypotamus4968 I believe it just copies the behavior from Java Edition, as a lot of Legacy console did that.

[@harrypotamus4968]

@@Alphie_ That isn't at all a response to my question

[@Alphie_]

@@harrypotamus4968 My intent wasn't to answer the question. It was simply to provide a possible explanation as for why it happens that way. This was during a period where 4J found themselves simply trying to catch up to Java Edition, so they were throwing out features and practically porting the game as 1 to 1 as possible.

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.

For one update, placing a ladder directly on top of tall grass created a barrier block. Edit: I also discovered this accidentally, and when the big console minecraft youtubers started showing it off at the time only months after, I felt cheated.

[@AxolotlGuy7]

Now I know to think of you of I ever hear that fact.

[@ThatNoobKing]

you sure it was a barrier block? Or was it just a weird full block no texture ladder

Ah. Console edition. It's such a shame that you got replaced by a laggy, predatory, disappointment. Some day I'll screw around with the old Xbox360 and sever connections so I can pop the old disc in and actually access your spotless, creative halls.

[@pallic703]

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.

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.

There used to be spectral arrows and command blocks that you used to be able to get, but Im very sure that they crash the game now

[@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?

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

I remember a long time ago where some friend of mine was playing in some weird downloadable world from the internet where there were some blocks that were unobtainable, but they were actually blocks that wasn't fully implemented on the game yet but they were yet to be, such as stained glass (yes, there wasnt stained glass on the game yet), but there were some glitched blocks like actual water, lava, fire and portal blocks

[@samadkins6727]

This video makes it seem like these blocks are gonna come get me in the middle of a minecraft night

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

I got curious, and it turns out that you can also get frosted ice in bedrock edition too! People probably already know this, but I thought it was cool.

[@picochily]

Are you playing Minecraft Xbox 360 on PC? Man I’ve been trying to play the old title updates for so long and can’t find my 360. Also, great vid!!

[@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

6:45 I have some of these in my first world (2013 PS3 console edition) if you go through the portal (at least while it’s on update 1.13) it ruins the portal glitch for that individual portal. :(

I remember trying to make glitched wheat in ps3 edition.

[@user-wo1iq5ol1c]

Fun fact: you can get a skull that when you wear it your head dissappears

[@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)

[@theorett21]

Great video. I’ve had a question for a minute and this seems like a place someone might be able to answer, basically through KZbin comments and what not it seems like most people say or remember Minecraft PS3 launching on the update that brought desert temples, villager trading, anvils, etc. But I could swear when I got the game the day it came to PS3 none of that was in the game yet? That update didn’t come until some months later and PS3 got it alongside Xbox?

[@Coolguyjommy]

ps3 1.0 version was released dec 17th 2013, The version is equal to tu13 on the 360. Anvils, trading, and desert temples were added later in the 1.04 version of ps3 edition (equal to tu14) which was released on march 27th 2014.
