Things I Learned About Minecraft Recently..

[@Ohmega369]

I miss the days of old minecraft where you’d just be walking around and just have a squid fly past you and then ping back to where it was supposed to be. Good times

[@jwalster9412]

It's funny how broken squid still are after all of these years.

[@martijn9568]

@j Walster Kinda sad as well. One would expect squids some of the easiest bugs to squash, yet they didn't.

[@mareksoucek4514]

I remember, when 1.3.2 just came out, so I hoped into new world, set some random seed and had completely amazing build in jungle open cave. Not normal ravin, but it was open on side. Just amazing. It was close to a pond, but about 3 blocks higher. It was completely normal, to have squid in the base, even tho, it was completely closed by glass blocks and doors. I was once even blocked from using my crafting table cause I had it in ground as a floor, and there was so many squids there. I had to punch them all by hand. After I killed all of them, I had serious problem with finding any more squids...

[@gamefan1353]

A snow layer hitbox is actually always one less than the stack of snow. That way you still walk on the grass level when snow fell and that's why 4 layers of snow (visually equivalent to a slab) can be crawled on, because it is only 3/8th of a block tall and you can't crawl into the slab one from there! (Also something I learned from Etho from when he was trying to get a really high jumping horse)

[@saquoiafighter]

It becomes more noticeable when walking over block with only 1 layer on top of them and block with 2. The blocks covered in 2 layers will cause the player the "bump up" a bit, while the 1-layered blocks will not.

[@karanoelle4819]

Fun fact about the bunny: It actually used to be in vanilla around the time of release. It was also named The Killer Bunny of Caerbannog, before it got updated to just The Killer Bunny. The chance to find one was 1/1000 but nerfed and then ultimately removed. I remember running across one in vanilla and l lost my mind. First at taking hits and looking around and looking behind the rabbit, only to find it WAS the rabbit. After I saw the name I ran for my life. I'm pretty sure I heard someone cackling in the distance, but it might have just been my neighbor.

@@thesixstistari5604 they didn’t remove it, you just can’t find it in your world. You have to spawn it in using commands.

[@LeftyLlama]

A few more fun facts related to what you shared: - The reason you can fit between a block and a slab of snow is because the hitboxes of snow layers are actually 1/8 block shorter than they appear - In addition to the Potion of Luck, there is also a Potion of Bad Luck which does what you expect. In the code, it is referred to as "unluck."

[@FancyFreestyler]

I was gonna say the same lol Plus you can still get luck in survival through trading with fletchers for arrows of luck. And if you ctrl+middleclick a loot chest you can see the three different loot-tables (with luck without and with unluck) by placing it three times and opening the different boxes with the diffrent effects.

Whenever an item is on the floor and two players are trying to pick it up at the same time, it's not because of one player being closer, internet speed or hosting. The player who picks it up is whoever logged in first. I like to call this "pick-up priority". If you trick the other player into leaving and rejoining the session, you will now have "pick-up priority" over them. It's one of my favourite minecraft facts, since it actually comes up fairly often.

[@jameschamberlin3926]

Funny, I always thought it was the person that dropped the item that had priority

[@emmulah]

@@jameschamberlin3926 I thought it was the reverse! Cuz when you drop multiple items and pick them up yourself there’s like, a cool-down window before you pick the items up again so you end up picking them up in the order you dropped them in. So if you dropped an item between you and someone else I would have assumed they could pick it up because they don’t have that item cool-down. Fascinating.

[@Krimpsopher]

Toast was actually a memorial for one of the player's dead rabbit who was named "Toast" And, turtle eggs and diamonds have the same shape, just re-textured. And the luck effect was edited to only affect the chance of fishing up items from the "treasure category, like bows, fishing rods etc.

So few people know about this and it's one of the most useful things I have learned, especially if you play modded minecraft a bit. There isn't an enchantment limit on your tools and armor, only a limited amount of times you can apply a book, so if you combine the books before applying them, you can get that perfect diamond sword you never seem to reach.

[@Hyrum_Graff]

I don't remember exactly how it works, but it's not exactly the number of books. Something about matching "levels" that roughly correspond to the number of enchantments on a thing- Gnembon has a great video explaining it.

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

@@Hyrum_GraffItems remember how many times it has been used in an anvil, and there is a limit to how many times it can be repaired or combined with something. So instead of taking an item and adding 5 books to it in a row, totaling 5 uses, you can instead combine 2 books twice, the item and another book, combine the combined books and then add them to the item and it should count as 3 uses.

Re: Crawling in half-block The reason you can do it with snow layers is because 4 snow layers is only 0.375 blocks high, instead of 0.5 like a slab. They just "look" like 0.5 high. This is why mobs can spawn on a single snow layer (0 blocks high) but not 2 snow layers (0.125 blocks high)

If memory serves, the Killer Bunny was originally added with rabbits in 1.8 back in 2014.

The reason you didn't find "lucky" loot in this video is because the vanilla loot tables don't utilize the Luck feature. You have to build your own loot tables in a datapack to use Luck. However, the vanilla game does let you get better fishing loot with Luck.

[@pinkliongaming8769]

It definitely needs to be added into the game properly

[@DqwertyC]

Because Luck (and the inverse "Bad Luck") is not used for anything besides fishing, it makes for a great placeholder effect when working with command blocks. For example, I once made a custom aggro potion to make mobs fight each other. The player could attack mobs with custom "Bad Luck" tipped arrows or lingering/splash potions, and commands would detect mobs with the effect and make them fight each other.

[@uwufemboy5683]

Actually the luck effect grants you a higher chance of getting better loot at certain loot tables, like fishing. Luck actually does not improve the loot in chests.

A weird fact about boats is that after Mojang changed them so they would "always" drop as the boat item instead of a stick and 2 planks, certain times you're still able to make it actually break!

Lightning in relationships with mobs have always been a strange one. Creepers become charged. Pigs to Zombie Pigman. Villager to Witch. Mooshroom to a brown mooshroom. Turtles to bowls. Though that's the only case where one dies, at least that I'm currently thinking of. I feel like I'm missing something here, but just not thinking of it. Weird things like this I know because me playing Minecraft is just randomly experimenting in creative mode to see how things work and interact with each other. Or from Minecraft update videos, like from bigB, ibxtoycat, or LogDotZip. Where they would talk about upcoming things. Though when it came to new feature that never got implemented I always got confused. Even more so when it came to Education Edition, not releasing it was just an update or mod, but rather an entire new branch off. So I'm sure there are others I could think of, but I don't seem to be right now, and y'all probably best me to the punch anyways.

So interesting thing I actually just learnt yesterday is if you smelt a wet sponge and place a bucket where the fuel is suppose to be when the sponge is being smelted you can actually get a water bucket in return. It is absolutely strange and I never knew about this once for the seven years I have been playing. Edit: Holy cow everyone thanks for liking the comment it means allot I actually have a few more things I like to share that you might find interesting. So on the bedrock edition of Minecraft it was possible to sprint backwards. All you needed to do was simply start up a sprint and immediately start walking backwards if you did it right you will be walking backwards at running speed. This was later patched out but was used mostly for pvp as a quick way to retreat from a fight for controller players! Another one I have is actually also on bedrock and is a glitch I personally found that if you are able to force your player inside a block making use of pistons you can use pearls to clip through any solid block including bedrock. Another one I found is that candles also can help you clip through walls all you have to do is place one candle next to a wall you want to go through and walk all the way up to the wall and look down. When you're ready, start a sprint and throw a pearl at the same time if you did it right you should walk right through the wall. I haven't tested this clip in Java so I'm not sure if it will work on there. Another one I know actually for Java is that you can actually smuggle items through a clear command by putting them in your crafting menu when you open your inventory. Please don't use this on servers to cheat though cause it will not end well and I don't want to be responsible for someone being banned. But lastly, there is a trick on Java that you can use to find the exact direction of a bastion. By turning your fov all the way to thirty in the nether and opening up the debug screen to look at the entity counter the amount of entities will spike up if there is a bastion in the direction you are looking. This trick is called microlensing and was developed by the speedrunning community and would highly recommend for your guys to go watch some videos on it cause they explain it much better than me. Anyways wanted to come back to this comment to give you guys some more cool things to try out. Hopefully you find the facts interesting!

[@izzaaay]

you also don't need to dry them in a furnace, you can just place them in the nether, or a dry biome as well if you're on bedrock

Something I have noticed in Secret Life that surprised a few players (including Pearl), so I don't know if you knew or not, but wolves and dogs are always hostile to skeletons and skeletons will flee if they see one.

The luck mechanic and status effect were added in 1.9 alongside the creation of the loot table mechanic for chests. Loot tables can be programmed to behave differently depending on the luck effect level on the player who first opens the chest. This goes mostly unused, as there are no loot tables in the vanilla game that are programmed to be affected by luck, with one exception. Fishing loot is generated using the luck mechanic. In this case, the modifier comes from the "Luck of the sea" enchantment. Mojang was going to remove the luck mechanic a few updates after it's introduction, but kept it in after finding that many custom mapmakers were using the mechanic to great success. As such, all the relevant components have remained in the game, with the icon even receiving an updated texture in 1.14.

[@lolicanadian]

There is also a corresponding potion/status effect of Bad Luck ("minecraft:unluck"), which has the opposite effect. I've modified all the loot tables in the vanilla game to use the un/luck mechanic such that tools enchanted with higher levels of Fortune and Looting will drop rarer loot in larger quantities.

I'm pretty sure snow slabs are technically one snow slabs smaller than what's shown, when you run over one on the ground there's no raise but once you add another (making it 2 high) you raise up on snow slabs high and so on. That's why you can't get in-between the half slab even though it looks like you are when it's snow slabs, Correct me if I'm wrong! Great video!!

[@AnotherDuck]

Yeah, the top layer doesn't have a hitbox. That's why there's no height difference when you walk onto on a single snow layer on the ground.

[@whocares2277]

In other words, you always sink into the first snow layer, which makes sense. Another way to create a slightly-larger-than-half gap is a top slab and mud or soul sand beneath. It's possible to get into that gap, too.

To be honest, its kinda odd to even think that Etho isnt recognizable, when most minecraft youtubers are doing so because of Etho. Thats not talking about literal contraptions being named after him, or him having been part of a LOT of Mojang official easter eggs(like the Etho Slab). When people hear Etho Hopper Clock, and do a quick google, they will see its named that due to Etho. Since the Etho Hopper Clock is pretty much the smallest controllable, variable clock that is possible in minecraft. Only needing 16 blocks to run from 1 second all the way to 4 minutes. This alone puts him forever into the hall of fame of minecraft. Like, seriously, I dont think Mojang could add something that would make a smaller clock that has variability in the same way that the EHC has, not even considering the fact that Etho's hopperclock can be tilable, leaving even more variability than other designs(other designs might have a larger range of time, but that is with less control, you can make an extremely accurate real life clock with Etho's version while still being able to tile it to reach hours).

Regarding luck, the only thing it affects right now is fishing! The Luck of the Sea enchantment works using the luck system, each level giving you one extra point of luck for fishing. So, with a luck potion, you can reach the equivalent of Luck of the Sea 4 when fishing. Luck can be made to affect other things like mob drops, chest loot, and so on (pretty easily too), but Mojang hasn't done so for vanilla stuff as I believe they decided against using the luck system.

[@RyanEglitis]

The reason you can go up snow layers but not in the half slab case is that snow layers always show 1/8th block higher than the surface they represent. That's why when you walk on a single snow layer, your height is the same as if you were walking on the bare ground.
