Things I Learned About Minecraft Recently..

I learn new build hacks, tips and tricks about minecraft all the time, but after a conversation with cub, etho and impulse, I learned so much more...
How many did you already know? If you know more then let me know in the comments for a sequel!

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.

[@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

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...

[@lucianoariasduval]

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.

[@dumpsterfire2]

Wow…that’s interesting

[@carcarki5818]

Thank you for this

[@gamexter6640]

THAT IS WHY see my friend had my mending book then he threw it on the floor and we reached it at the same time but he picked it up and he did this 36 TIMES

[@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.

[@Giga__]

hmm grian would have liked ot know that in the first few episodes of hermitcraft season 10 eh

[@potato_opinion]

I think the bowl might be in reference to the days of exploration when discovering large turtles (that they promptly ate) and reuse the shells as large bowls

[@retlocker98]

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.

The reason crawling in a half-block space with snow under you works is because snow lies to you. When in snow layers, you're actually submerged into the block by one pixel.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

If memory serves, the Killer Bunny was originally added with rabbits in 1.8 back in 2014. It originally could spawn naturally (but had a low chance of doing), but this was quickly removed since Mojang felt that having such a strong mob that could spawn that early was antithetical to fun (and also because the reference has been done to death).

[@cautionhazardous2236]

[@Paint_The_Future]

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]

Luck is really fun when you’re making minigames with rpg-like mechanics, since you can modify the luck attribute with equipment. You can also make some items only drop if you have above a certain luck threshold, so you can do some really neat progression systems with it!

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)

Luck potions not only have an effect on randomly generated chests but it also makes rare fishing items more common. Another fishing fact is that the tropical fish is the rarest fish to catch while fishing with a 2% chance to be picked up.

[@cupcakewithatophat1131]

My obscure knowledge 1. If you have things you are transporting on a railway, never use dectector rails activator rails in the same line in that order. Since if you do, that cargo is gonna be ejected, the mine cart is going to be destroyed and it won’t be fun trying to regain order. This happened to me on a minecraft world with one of my Friends, NEVER AGAIN. 2. Luck was once apon a time apart of vanilla minecraft back on Xbox 360 edition and was also supposed to boost the players rates in lucky fishing. 3. There is or at least was a limit on mobs, armour stands, banners, paintings, item frames and some other weird stuff. I know this because me and my sisters all used to play minecraft together and this would always be a glaring issue since all of us wanted a million pets and literal mansions made out of impractical blocks. 4. If you are making a death trap, feel free to put lava after the drop of death because as long as it is only one block deep, it won’t negate the fall damage. 5. Shulkers do not disappear when you change game modes to peaceful, they’ll just stop attacking you. 6. Until the bissy bee’s update, the ps4 edition on bedrock had no chat function! So if you wanted to say something, get a sign and write it down 7. PS4 minecraft used to have a game mode back in the aquatic update that had three really fun mini games you could play online or play on your own. There were three modes, Battle, Tumble (spleef) and Glide. Battle and Tumble were battle royals while Glide was a race of the Elytra. They are still active to this day, just only to those who can do back before the bees update. 8. When building compact red stone, use slabs because they don’t cut off circuits and still receive changes like red stone on a normal full block. Here’s a bit that I know, I may update it if I come up with anything else. I hope you enjoyed this trip down obscure feature lane!

[@katherinek6166]

I'm a little hazy on this, since it's been a while, but I recall something about luck in the loot tables. I think, in order for chests to have extra treasure when you open it with luck potion, the loot table had to be specifically designed to account for it. Which most chests in the game probably don't, since it's unused. A datapack with custom structures or that modifies loot tables of existing ones, however, could make use of it. As well as provide actual luck potions in some of the chests for players to find. So it's a usable mechanic, just not in vanilla.

If you put carpet on top of powdered snow, you can fall any height without taking damage. No clue why this happens but it does.

It happens because you don't take fall damage when landing in powdered snow. It makes perfect sense as long as you don't think about it. Well it's consistent with bouncing on carpet on slimeblocks anyway.

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. [ yes there is controversy on this fact, some wikis say it only improves fishing while others say it affects naturally generated chests] (Fun fact: Luck arrows were once obtainable in survival at 19w13a, a snapshot from 1.14, being obtained from fletcher villagers when the player had Hero of the Village)

[@strangejune]

It can't affect chests, since those are filled on generation and not on opening. By the time you open the chest, it has already been filled before you found it. Or at least, that's how it used to work.

For the ocean monument, I believe you can place tnt directly on the monument, sand on top and ignite the tnt. Theoretically, it should work the same way

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! One way you can recreate this is falling into scaffolding with a boat (usually you would just land on it but if you manage to cram the boat into the scaffolding on the side whilst falling, it will actually break the boat into sticks and planks.

[@WildBluntHickok]

About the tnt+sand trick: it works because lit tnt is an entity not a block (that's how it can be offset from the block grid) and the sand IS a block so they can both be in the same space at the same time. Being inside the sand means the lit_tnt entity isn't in a water block (or at least the center of it isn't). But you can just use a diamond or netherite pickaxe with efficiency 5 instead. When affected by Mining Fatigue 3 It only takes 40 seconds per prismarine block with an eff5 diamond pickaxe. And getting through the roof only requires mining 1 block.

Luck is essentially like how luck of the sea or looting or fortune works on anything that has a loot table. In vanilla, structure chests, mobs, fishing, and even block drops now all come with loot tables, and as long as that loot table has certain items rarer than others, like flint from gravel, crimson roots dropping (vs not dropping) themselves, fishing for treasure, better gear in chests, etc, the luck effect gives better chances with these
