0, 0, 0 is genuinely the most interesting block in the game. There's so many things you can do with it. My favourite is if you place turtle eggs in some versions, every zombie on the map will try to path find towards it, even millions of blocks away. Another trick is in 1.10, if the block is in a tundra biome and exposed to the air, a skeleton horse trap has the chance to spawn stray horsemen.

Fun fact: You can spawn a big tree by placing a bottom slab diagonally from the sapling.

[@Eliotex]

Interesting, I only knew about a few other methods like: - one glass 1 block above the ground diagonal from the sapling - 2 wooden planks next to the sapling It's actually interesting there are so many different methods with a large variety of blocks to grow a big tree

[@deadlydirtblock7698]

The reason all these methods work is because normal oaks have stricter space requirements than large oaks. For example, if you place any blocks (apart from logs, leaves or dirt) in a 3x3 area around the sapling 1 level above it, then it will be unable to grow into a normal tree, forcing it to grow large

[@zadarasimoleons1019]

There are multiple ways to do it? My dad taught me years ago... Four blocks with a torch placed facing the tree at the top. Very specific. I had, otherwise, never thought about it.

[@RaysWorks]

Could use this to get strays riding skeleton horses in later versions! As it also uses a 0,0 coords glitch. Btw the oak log glitch was looked into back then but was worse than other bedrock breaking methods to get to the void.

[@Eliotex]

Is it actually one of the "worse" bedrock breaking methods? I mean in most worlds you have this log anyway -> zero effort lol Breaking the bedrock above the log is pretty easy, bc you can use beds + vines in 1.8.0. I dont really see any disadvantage in using this strat except it's locked to 0 0

[@caspermadlener4191]

I remember a bug where some biome dependent mobs were unable to spawn in versions ~1.10, unless you removed the block at the origin. Raysworks made a video about that at the time. Does the bedrock formation around the origin allow access to the block without breaking bedrock? Breaking would probably still be possible otherwise; using the plenty of entity clipping quirks of these earlier versions, you could "easily" send a primed TNT minecart through bedrock. The weirdest glitches in Minecraft are just related to the origin in general. The log is just a symptom of Minecraft's prostate.

[@Eliotex]

You have to destroy bedrock to reach the log. In 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 you can destroy bedrock very easily bc placing a bed onto grass or vines. Yeah quite a lot of bugs are related to the coordinates 0 0 and some of them are even useful for different reasons :D

[@welflew]

Programming languages rarely return 0 when dividing by zero. In this case it is a combination of multiple features of the language. Java will either return NaN or Infinity when it is a float division or throw an exception when it is an integer division. In this case, it is a float division so var6, var7 and var8 would have the value Float.NaN. When computing the value for var10, it is cast to integer. Float.NaN becomes 0 at this step not because of the division. This also means that there could be a case where var6, var7, var8 become Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY or Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY. When cast to int we would get Integer.MAX_VALUE and Integer.MIN_VALUE resulting in different values for var10. That would imply that this bug can wrongly generate blocks at a different position than (0,0,0)

[@Eliotex]

Yeah some smart people already told me my explanation is not correct. Interesting that a log could technically generate at a different place at well. Did you consider the world is only 30 million blocks in each direction? It's quite small in comparison to MAXVALUE or infinity

[@welflew]

@@EliotexYeah you are right. I did some digging and even if we removed the limit, the game will not update an unloaded chunk in setBlockState() so it is pretty much limited to (0,0,0).

There's a similar bug in versions prior to 1.9 with skeletons. If you anger a skeleton, move it to the corner of the wall and then go to the same place inside the skeleton, the mob will start shooting arrows very rapidly, but they won't ever spawn nearby. I recently did a research, and turns out that X and Z coordinates of the spawned arrows actually go to 0,0. I wonder if it's a similar division and integer casting issue

[@Eliotex]

I just tested it... damn that's soo cool. Yeah, it's definitely similar to the stuff shown in the video. I knew it was possible to get an arrow to 0 0 0 by pushing blocks etc (I can find the video somewhere on youtube), but I didnt know it was possible this easily. + I realized the arrow spawns on the inital y-level... soo not always 0, which makes this even more interesting. Thx for telling me! I'll look into this a bit more when I have time

[@bipbapboop1140]

Just based on some basic maths and programming knowledge: It probably has to do with how skeletons aim. They probably use player distance, which is 0 in this case, resulting in their arrow landing at 0 0 0.

[@netskyli7033]

it's because like when you divide by 0 but then the game just just make the answer as 0 which place a log there at 0,0,0

​@@Eliotex Unfortunately, 1.8.0 have more and more problems for some players due to the outdated graphics used in this version, which not all hardware/drivers are able to support today. Since years there were already problems in 1.7.10 related to some drivers/GPUs, which could range from a basic hard and unresolvable crash of the game to "block's colours spread diagonally all over the screen" as an example. In 1.12.2 there are also problems for some players since some weeks, related to some recording software which, for unknown reasons, interferes with this version - and sometimes the driver itself, mainly with Nvidia GPUs. Note these cases are especially true in MinecraftForge, but similar issues also happens outside of the modloader in pure vanilla.

*TL:DR;* * Java is a crappy language that doesn’t throw an exception for division by zero. (Not sure why division by zero is resulting in 0 instead of NaN? When did Oracle fix this?) * Notch did crappy testing to catch this edge case. _Conan Exiles_ has a similar 0,0,0 spawn bug.

[@EllipticGeometry]

Computers aren’t too happy about division by zero. If you do it with integer arithmetic, it causes an exception on most systems. In floating-point arithmetic it results in a special value, infinity (e.g. 1/0) or not a number (0/0). Not a number poisons almost every operation, resulting in NaN if any input is NaN. NaN becomes 0 when you cast it to an integer, as happened here. This specific combination of steps was important to the outcome. I know there are more details such as floating-point exceptions. But those don’t really do anything unless you look for them or change modes. Not relevant to this.

It’s so fun !

yes!!

hey! it's nice to see a small minecraft creator so i'm subbing and dropping a like on this video!

You might be interested in learning formal methods, which can be used to find these types of strange edge cases in C and Java code.

Exactly

[@vitulus_]

With the 0/0 thing, you highlight the var6, var7, var8 as potentially 0/0. Although in floating point arithmetic, this should give NaN. In fact, if it went to 0 here, there would be no problems with the code. It is the particular fact that NaN propagates its value through further floating point operations. Presumably "startPos.add" doesn't actually convert the floating point number to an integer, but converts the its underlying integer coordinates to a floating point number to add them, thus propagating the NaN value (this in itself seems a bit weird, but it's the only explanation I can think of). Finally, since NaN maps to 0 under integer conversion, the result from "startPos.add" is a BlockPos of 0,0,0.

[@Eliotex]

@@vitulus_ I think that's the best explanation I have heard so far, if it's correct. The explanation in the video is not correct (or too much simplified)

That's actually a great idea! In 1.8.0 you can destroy bedrock by placing a bed on grass (with a bedrock in front of it). This means we can easily destroy the bedrock above yLevel 0, but not 0 0 0 itself. To destroy bedrock on the lowest yLevel you would need something like a headless piston or dark oak trees with a lot of bonemeal, which is hard to obtain quickly

[@SOTP.]

@@Eliotexor even using a vine works, in fact any block the bed can overwrite

@UsernameDoesntCare well in 1.8 and older versions there has always been the shared hitboxes thing. So, there were way better alternatives for wireless redstone

But why does it exist if you haven't planted a tree?

Big trees, which generate in the world, also cause this block at 0 0 0. You dont have to manually plant the trees

[@NightmareRex6]

theres another mysterius thing i found at 0 0. i tried on the 20w infinant snapshot wondering if took a "infinant book shelf" and took a book from it at 0 0 , maby i would obtain the most "pure" version of it and its ATUAL translatable text? well at 0 0 and NEAR 0 0 the book shelf will NOT produce a book regardless survival adventure or near it i think closet i could get was like 4 3 or 3 4 but the pattern was wired liek 1 4 think would work but think 1 7 wouldent work, altho i dont remember exact numbers.

@@NightmareRex6 I dont remember much from this snapshot. It might be interesting to look into this a bit deeper
