i honestly always use one that makes the game slightly more colorful and vibrant, i like the look of that one as well.

[@gbrlchnnl]

We should be able to craft chainmail armor since the chains were added. It would make sense.

[@T0NY_playsArchives]

Yeah exactly!

[@IAmSkystrike]

Although it would seem sensible, making all the chains for chainmail armor would be more iron-expensive than iron armor. And chainmail is worse than iron by its stats. A different crafting recipe would be better. Maybe iron nuggets instead

[@gbrlchnnl]

@@IAmSkystrike Well, I still think it would make sense using chains, since you use gold armor, which is quite expensive and you could save your ingots for a better use, but it is worse than iron. I think chainmail armor is there for aesthetics (just as armor trims), hence you don't need them to progress through the game, so it can, or should, be a bit more expensive. In my opinion, using only iron nuggets would make it too cheap for a cosmetic.

[@legospartan3.042]

It would be cool. I imagine that for it being chainmail the concept would be deals less damage for melee weapons, but weak against arrows & trident

[@TerraKnight27]

@@IAmSkystrike they could make the chain recipe craft more chains (which they should honestly do anyways)

Props to you for being the first one of these videos to actually teach me something new. I went into this thinking the apples to arrows were just clickbait.

Mules and donkeys already kind of do, you can attach chests on them when tamed So that means they probably won't add them but who knows

12:58 I definitely have vivid memories of the super secret settings, like that was my childhood. I loved messing around with those, especially right after they were added (I started playing in 1.2 so I got the pleasure of seeing a lot of new features as they were added). But yeah I loved just messing around with those and roleplaying as like a cyborg or something lmao

[@josgretf2800]

I loved the super secret settings. If I recall one of them was a sepia tone and I used it for wild west stuff.

[@nateh9917]

Jeez that super secret settings brought back memories. It actually wasn't in the game for a short time. 1.7.2 to 1.9 doesn't seem long, but what a lot of people forget is that time gap was 2 years. People like me who stuck to 1.8 for pvp for a long time had it even longer. I remember spending entire weekends playing with my brother and sometimes we'd turn on the super secret settings just for fun because it was like a wacky texture pack.

[@TheiBunny]

I remember during the snapshot cycle when they were adding rabbits to the game, they used to be huge, and you were able to tame them like wolves and ocelots... it was amazing. Was absolutely devastated when I found out they removed that after updating my world to the latest snapshot a few weeks later and they'd all run from me again :( I'm still a little bitter about it ngl. Nowadays people have the lack of fireflies, or rideable dolphins to be upset about - but those at least had somewhat understandable explanations for their exclusion... the reason they gave at the time was that "rabbits can't be domesticated irl", which I can confidently say from over 2 decades of experience with them is utter baloney. They'd even added an easter egg for a secret rabbit skin if you named one "Toast", after someone's (missing?) *pet rabbit* right before removing the ability to tame them and actually make them your pets. Talk about inlsult to injury... To this day I still don't understand the decision, lol

[@nickcunningham6344]

I vividly remember watching an old Minecraft video where a dude ran into a cave at night, blocked off both the entrance and the inside of the cave so that they were completely enclosed and no mobs could get to him, sleeping in a bed without putting down any torches, and when they woke up like three zombies had spawned next to him. I remember thinking it was a feature that if you went to sleep in a dark room, monsters had a chance of spawning right next to you when you woke up, so you had to sleep near a light source to prevent this. Don't know if this is a false memory, mod, or removed feature, but curious if anyone else has any idea what I'm talking about

[@PaladinRyan]

it was a feature in beta! unlit beds had a 30% chance of waking you up overnight. If I make a sequel to this, that’s definitely going in there because I feel like a lot of people forgot about that one!

I explicitly remember super secret settings as it was around the time I got the PC version of the game as a kid and I thought it was so cool. Loved the black and white filter

[@jamespierce9815]

I mentioned this in another person’s video, but I’ll post it here, too. I have a “removed” feature that I’ve NEVER heard anyone talk about. It’s that oak trees could have yellow to red leaves. I’m considering sharing this elsewhere to spread it around, but I don’t know where to go. To clarify, in the transition between Beta 1.7.3 to Beta 1.8, there were a few updates that went live. There may have been 1-3 of them and they lasted for a day or 2 each… Maybe it was even for a few hours, it’s been a decade. I distinctly remember this event because the area where I built my home was next to some ferns with very lush green grass comparable to jungle grass of modern MC. After this event, I noticed my grass had a more washed out color and it bummed me out. When it was live, I was super happy that the game had more color to its trees, but I was very attached to the green forest I was established in because I found it pretty. I was hoping that this was like a new temporary seasonal event and it sort of felt experimental. The time frame this had to have happened would of been around early September. Regardless, I was happy to enjoy the change of scenery and was hopeful it’d change back. As cool as it is to see trees in a vast array of colors in MC, it wasn’t done very well in the sense that it was a little too chaotic. If anyone remembers how swamps were implemented in Beta 1.8, they’ll probably tell you that the grass and new water color transition looked too abrupt. Same with these autumnal trees I’m describing. My only theory is that they’re related in some way. I know for years, even since the beginning of MC, there’s been mods for seasons and different leaf colorations. It’s a highly requested feature. I’ve never played with mods up until recently and that was to play Beta 1.7.3 again. I’ve been on and off with MC and stay vanilla hoping to that the next update is the update that makes me want to invest a lot of time into it (I’m still waiting). I went to the MC forums to confirm if anyone talked about this, but I couldn’t find anything. I think there may not be a single image of when this happened on the Internet, which is bizarre to me because I feel like this would have been huge back in the day. Does anyone remember this?

[@PaladinRyan]

Hmmmmm I did some preliminary searching, but it’s hard because as you said everything is mod related. I would be super interested in finding out more though.

[@aquavolts]

It sounds like what you're talking about is the biomes changing between versions. They weren't saved prior to 1.2, meaning that when the world generator changed (as it did in Beta 1.8 and release 1.0), existing worlds would have their biomes changed. Judging by your description, it seems like your area became a desert biome when upgrading.

[@jamespierce9815]

It wasn't a mod. In my closing paragraph, I said I've only recently started to use mods. I've been playing vanilla on and off for nearly 12 years. I've no doubt that mods for this sort of thing existed back then, but then this wouldn't be a "removed feature," it'd be a mod. TheAquaGamer gets it. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure how the grass was changed during this brief period other than it did change the grass coloration during and after the update. Maybe it turned yellow, too? It was either still pretty normal, or it was bizarre like there were multiple tiny biomes. I do have hope that this anomaly isn't lost because it sounds like I'm talking about Beta 1.8's pre-releases, but there's an off chance it may be something different. At least it checks out because those pre-releases had plenty of odd things such as Enderman with green eyes that could be hurt by arrows, being able to sprint before the hunger bar was implemented, and experience without the bar. I think this would probably explain why I didn't explore my newly colored world more as there were other more interesting additions to the game at the time. I highly doubt this occurrence was rare when it happened. I checked around a little more and I found something, but there's next to no substance and doesn't prove anything. I guess I'll edit this post on my findings, but I don't think I'm going to come up with much. www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/survival-mode/242524-gress-in-my-base-changing-color

[@MattTOB618]

This makes me want color-changing leaves, even if it's only as a Halloween feature (like how the chests become presents during Christmas, or how mobs can spawn with pumpkins and Jack-o'-lanterns on Halloween).

[@jamespierce9815]

@@MattTOB618 Seasons, or at least seasonal leaves, has always been a highly requested feature. I do question how many people would enjoy a block that changed colors during certain times of the year, though. Sure, it’s okay that chests change, but you don’t normally see people building structures with chests. That said, there’s more colors to trees than variants of green.

[@ArtificialDjDAGX]

The super secret settings were legit one of my top favorite parts of minecraft. Some of the visual modes legit made playing the game more fun, and you could also experience the world through the eyes of different mobs if you wanted to :)

[@realpunkfruit]

the "old" launcher is still super new to me xD i miss the OLD old launcher, with the patch notes! also to go with the pocket edition one, i remember when chests werent in the game. you had to store all your precious materials by making them into blocks and just placing them down!

[@kentknightofcaelin4537]

Right? I haven't played Minecraft in ages and didn't even know there was another one.

[@OrganicSuperlube]

The super secret settings button was my favorite thing in the world. As far as I understand it, it was essentially a test for how shaders would work on Minecraft, and one of the settings lowered the color depth to the point that the game looked like a crunchy pixelated very-early-era MSDOS game, which is an aesthetic I'm utterly crazy for. Sadly, I've never been able to find a shader set for Minecraft nor Reshade alike that replicated it quite right.

[@Cocoecake]

I can't imagine the research you did to find all these secrets! 📜 And I've said before and I'll say it again- I miss the void fog, where the world would get darker as you dug closer to bedrock (which was also removed due to performance issues)

[@fresanegra77]

It would honestly make finding the warden on accident a lot scarier

[@cement_eater]

Mojang should bring bedrock fog back, but limit it to the deep dark

[@am_Nein]

It should be toggleable (default off)

[@1snivy10]

Whaat, I didn't realize they removed it! Back in the day I always used Optifine to turn it off because I liked being able to see.

[@laser90]

I remember super secret settings because I once clicked on it in survival and a tinted red-cyan effect appeared on blocks. It also made a creeper hissing sound, and, since I was with half a heart inside a mineshaft, I got scared to death. I then realized that this was fake, until I died from a real creeper like a minute later. Gonna remember this thing for my whole life lol

[@felidawn]

I used the “super secret mode” to make an accurate map of animal crossing wild world, because there was a mode that made the screen look like an old box tv, which is what I only ever played ACWW on. I don’t think I ever finished the map, but it was a fun concept I guess and a decent use of that feature!

[@isaac_aren]

Another removed feature of Pocket Edition: The stonecutter. I believe it still exists as a decorative block but in older versions it was used for crafting things with exclusively stone items. The old crafting menu was basically a line by line list of every crafting recipe so the extra block helped to reduce clutter Minecraft PE also had servers. Actual 3rd party servers you could enter an IP for and join. I believe Lifeboat was the most popular and I played it a couple times.

[@Espartanica]

The Stonecutter is still used for that today, unless you mean exclusively the old PE version rather than Bedrock, which it became. Both Bedrock and Java received the Stonecutter as a more efficient way to carve stone into walls, stairs, slabs, etc

[@isaac_aren]

@@Espartanica I mean the old PE version. You could not make any stone-related blocks on a crafting table and were required to use the stonecutter for them

[@ActrosTech]

I actually didnt fully knew about that apple-to-arrow recipe before, probably because it was hella short-lived as it was just a test, which is fun in all ways, lol.

[@jony1710]

I think I remember reading Notches blog around when the super secret settings were introduced. If I recall correctly, they had switched from the older style OpenGL graphics pipeline to a shader based one, and added in all those weird shaders to demonstrate what that can do.

[@robbieboydudeguy]

I REMEMBER THOSE TWO WEEKS OF SADDLE MAKING! I loved watching people play it and I guess that recipe stuck with me, so when I finally got Minecraft I thought I could make one and was upset when I found that I couldn’t. Good to know I’m not crazy all these years later

[@qy9MC]

13:00 the entire server community is stuck in versions 1.8.9 and 1.12.2 … And 1.8.9 has the super secret buttons so actually many people know about this one. I personally like the spider one :)

[@rolanddeschain6783]

They should have kept the "Apples to Arrows" as a nod to the history of William Tell who was a famous huntsman renowned for the "shooting the apple off your head" thing you see in media. For context, i don't remember the specifics but his town was being taken over by a evil govenor or something who took his son and William, being a real gigachad dad, confronted him about it. He tasked him with shooting an apple off his sons head in order for him to go free. He did just that, with all the skill of a master marksman, and used a second arrow to kill that very same Govenor, marking him as one of the most famous figures within the region of Switzerland. If they kept it in, it would be a nice refrence to this tale, even if its use cases would be mostly a joke or a meme than anything.

[@FewVidsJustComments]

I once had 12 (now deleted) videos of me playing bedwars with the super secret settings turned on and switched every match. it was fun, but needless to say, i didn't do very well in those games.

[@wiggycat3145]

I remember the super secret settings, but I don't remember accessing it from the pause menu. I remember being able to cycle them using one or two of the function keys like F4 or something, perhaps it was a snapshot. I think the only one that still remains is the one that made everything green, and it's used when you go into spectate mode and spectate a creeper. I think it was the same snapshot or update that made it so putting maps into an item frame made it expand to take up the whole block, and remove the shredded paper trim.

[@expendableindigo9639]

I always assumed Super Secret Settings was added because they needed filters for when you spectate a spider or creeper. I have very vivid memories of that and had a few favorite shaders, especially one of the pixelated or sharpened ones. it was one of my most used features in the post-beta versions alongside the custom world type and I’m sad we no longer have both. I’ll always associate with my 1.7 survival world.

This is so well made! I don't know how you have only 9k subs this is like 100k+ quality content. Great video! :D As for my favourite removed feature, I'm still a sucker for the Nether Reactor Core. I know it's covered in the video, but I just love the idea of in the modern versions spawning a cool nether spire and then being able to make a base around it. Fun fact: The Nether Reactor was the first multiblock added to Minecraft, followed by beacons and conduits.

The reason the the Isometric screenshot was removed was because of modern Minecraft world generation. Before, world generation was limited to a small island, so the Isometric screenshot was possible. But now, since Minecraft worlds are INFINITE, it's not possible to take an Isometric screenshot. And even if you could, it would probably crash any computer that wasn't a NASA Quantum. But I do admit that taking an isometric screenshot of your world would be pretty cool...

I remember the old Minecart mechanics that made booster loops and self-resetting boosters needed for long-haul tracks before Power Rail came in to the picture. I miss the logistics of building a station launcher that only triggered when you needed it and reset itself, or directional passing loops with self-resetting boosters. Powered Rail made that sort of engineering obsolete and led to arguably boring rail networks in my eyes.

[@gammaboy4568]

13:00 Super Secret Settings was a feature I was all too familiar with for a large portion of the game's life, but like many others I never really touched it. I played dominantly 1.7.10 for years until 1.12.2 became the next "modding singularity" of sorts. Many a times, a major version introduces sweeping changes that pose a challenge for modders who want to keep up. 1.13 was one of these versions for many glaring reasons, and as such 1.12.2 is one of the commonly used versions for modpacks and the sort as many devs decide to hold their ground against the changing tides of game updates. 1.7.10 was one such version, and while most people today could never imagine going so far back many will say the same for 1.12.2 once we hit yet another major roadblock. The absence of convenient swimming mechanics and the absurd size of the updates following 1.12 are already a grating enough exclusion to have driven me to accept current version supremacy in recent years (also Create is the best mod ever made). But for a time, the lackluster updates justified sticking to the older versions to support the many abandoned modding projects. The original state of the Portal Gun mod will never be seen in newer versions, and Thaumcraft was never as feature complete ever since. It's a bit of an off topic rant, but I think it goes to show that times which housed some of these obscure features were still favored for other reasons. As such, I'm sure many others on top of myself remember the funny visual filters we could play with back in the old days. It feels strange calling 1.7.10 old now, I still fondly remember the things we've lost since beta. I wish people would accept that the 1.9 combat isn't that bad though, I mean come on... spam click was never *that* much fun. Hard to believe half of our major servers are still stuck in 1.8. Nobody's asking for Beta 1.7.3's instant bow back. We're 11 major versions ahead of this problem.

Admittedly, from what i've seen, i THINK a decent chunk of modders are actually starting to move away from 1.12, and onto 1.18 or so? So that shift like with 1.7.10 may already be happening...

[@gammaboy4568]

@@higueraft571 Oh for sure. 1.12 isn't the dominant modding version anymore, especially since a lot of modpacks are starting to use Create as a tech base. There's also a distinct tonal shift in the modding community matched by Mojang's changing approach to implementing new features. "Vanilla+" is more popular than ever, and most of those concepts started with 1.13. Create is the culmination of this vanilla-oriented design. Nowadays a pack made from 1.12 mods tends to feel more like a mixed bag of disjointed concepts by comparison.

[@higueraft571]

@@gammaboy4568 Honestly, aside from the "vanilla-like" vibe to Create, another factor is also how spicy it looks, visually (without seemingly utterly nuking your FPS), not to mention just going absolutely WILD with what you can do with it, like the Archimedes Ship thing :V

[@mayac4147]

interesting that they coded non-creeper mobs to constantly poll for a nearby exploding creeper rather than coding creepers to perform a single check for nearby mobs when exploding to instruct them to run.. maybe i just dont know enough about how minecraft is coded but that seems far more sensible to me

[@Niyucuatro]

13:40 Feels like they could have done this in a much better way by making creepers search for other mobs in the small area arround them when they are trying to explode rather than make every mob constantly check arround them every single tick. But Mojang doesn't treally have the best coders.

I remember the secret settings! I was wondering what was that for back then. Well, it's gone now :(

[@PaladinRyan]

I miss them. they were so odd and funny.

[@lunablueslushie]

The secret settings were something I still remember after all these years. I feel like they wanted to test out screen effects but didn't have any existing feature to use them for so they just threw them in a fun little button. Eventually though they did find a feature they could use the effects for, and it was the mob feature in spectator mode

[@highlyexplsoive_ammunition]

Remember once clicking on chainmail armour on "not enought items" 1.7.10 modpack and realising its crafted with fire, i was so confused lol

[@mister_i9245]

I remember when the removed super secret settings, I thought they were so cool and was so disappointed.

[@lyrathemuse]

I used to play around with the Super Secret Settings a lot as a kid I started playing Minecraft in 1.7.2 so saw it when I was looking around for settings to change lol

[@merthyr1831]

Indev animations were pretty goated though. Would be nice to see them refined and re-added.

[@ryanorchard1859]

I don’t remember many of these as I first bought Minecraft at version 1.5.2, but I do remember Super Secret Settings.

[@sfm_pakic3527]

4:49 i will always remember this launcher because i started playing minecraft when this was still a thing

[@mysteryboyee]

The reason those old snapshots where horses were being added wont load is because any version of java after 8u202 broke something with the way the java classes identify themselves, and so some kind of built in checksum force crashes the game because it thinks youre running a broken minecraft jar, for some reason only minecraft 1.6.X and the snapshots for those versions are effected though, the solution is just to use java 8u202 or older, should start working immediately
