19 secret minecraft features you should
try minecraft doesn't have much in the
way of a tutorial thank god so some
updates can slip through the cracks so
these are the sneaky features that you
need to try out right away and hey for
some reason youtube tells me that no
one's ever subscribed upside down so if
you're down to be the first flip your
device around and aim for that red
button above it's free and it helps out
a ton number one planting crops in
minecraft seems like a fairly easy
concept i mean you take seeds you put it
into the dirt right next to water and
you're probably good but even then
according to minecraft's code there is
still a proper way to grow your crops
for some reason minecraft crops actually
do grow faster when they're placed in a
row so if you want to get more bang for
your buckwheat you gotta place those
suckers into a straight line now i have
no idea why this happens and clearly i
have no farm experience in real life to
know if it's real but hey at least going
forward you know the proper way to get
your carrots in a line number two if
you've ever used bone meal on grass then
you already know that it's pretty
efficient at getting you roses tulips
and the like but it's true flower power
doesn't just stop there as it turns out
if you plonk down a two tall flower and
you want to get a duplicate all you
gotta do is bone meal that one two tall
flower just like that another one pops
off and you got probably the easiest
farm in the game personally i've spent
way too much time throwing bone juice
into a sunflower and watching these
things pop off so if you're looking to
have storage upon storage or die this is
the way to get it but just make sure
that your composters can handle all that
new demand number three when minecraft
added in the new stone blocks it added
so much more variety to our builds and
i've personally gotten a lot of use out
of andesite since it got added in but
for some reason i never seem to have
enough after a mining trip so luckily if
you also run into that problem it's
actually possible to craft andesite
using diorite and cobblestone now i
didn't know this until recently but sure
enough if you put them into the crafting
grid you're able to get some fresh
andesite out of those two other blocks
and i guess that means you shouldn't
judge a book by its cover but i'm still
personally not a fan of diorite so for
its case i'm glad it has a use now
number four minecraft walls seem to have
a pretty obvious use case which is of
course being a wall but as it turns out
when they help out in redstone they can
do so much more with the way that a row
of walls updates when you attach a block
to the top one you're actually able to
use walls to send a redstone signal down
instantaneously just like that they all
change their look and then the bottom
one gets detected by an observer so if
you're looking to trigger a pulse down
into your minds there's no need to set
up a complicated circuit instead just
place a bunch of walls like this and
you're good to go this is truly a
win-win situation number five have you
ever been an enchantment table the three
options listed just aren't gonna cut it
well don't sweat it because the easy way
to clear the board is just by enchanting
another item so if you're not able to
find the perfect level 30 enchantment
for your diamond sword then all you got
to do is throw a stone shovel into the
thing enchant it at level one and then
you completely re-roll all enchantments
in the table this can be great for all
those times that you're just seeing on
breaking three down in that bottom slot
and plus you can even grindstone the
cheap item to get some of that exp back
and it's the reason i always keep some
kind of garbage tool down there next to
my lapis number six clearly through the
help of anvils every item in the game
can be named but what you might not know
is that sometimes those names have
special properties for example if you
want to delineate between your valuables
chest and your garbage chest then you
don't just have to do that with an item
frame but rather if you nickname one of
these in an anvil and then place it down
sure enough as soon as you check the
inventory screen that new name is going
to be listed right up at the top making
it even easier to differentiate between
your storage and personally i like to
use this to delineate between the input
chest or redstone builds so that i don't
need an unnecessary sign next to it
number seven anyone who's ever tried to
attach a lot of enchantments to a
pickaxe knows that it's not exactly easy
task but using this optimized method
that nembond lays out it's actually
possible to get more than 30
enchantments onto a minecraft item
basically the way that this works is
that every time you alter the item it
gets a little bit higher in the anvil
cost although if you start the process
with an already enchanted item you knock
off a couple steps and then every time
you add on a new enchantment book it has
the same cost base as the regular item
then you start to get more bang for your
buck and better yet you can subvert mo
yang's limit while doing it number eight
anyone who's ever put a hopper inside
their world knows that these things
can't pull items through full blocks
slabs are fine but regular blocks are a
no-go that is until you put the hopper
inside of a minecart yeah for some
reason when you put this entity together
all of a sudden it's able to pull items
through full blocks so if you're capable
of setting up the rail system underneath
your floor then this is actually a way
to get a proper item retrieval system
through an actual farm just keep in mind
that it is going to take a little while
for the hopper minecart to get over to
where it needs to pick up it's just the
price you pay for breaking the laws of
physics number nine magma blocks sound
like a real force to be reckoned with
but as it turns out they've got one
crucial flaw for all the fear that the
name gives off as it turns out if you
step onto a maga block and then just hit
the shift key all of a sudden you're
immune to damage for some reason all it
takes is getting into a squat formation
to save yourself from burning who knew
and honestly i'm kind of sad that the
same doesn't work in lava really every
time i see this i think it's a bug but
sure enough until it gets patched out
it's a feature ladies and gentlemen and
it's one that i think you should
definitely take advantage of number 10
how many times have you been looking for
a specific block and a chest full of
just junk and since there's no built-in
inventory sorting it's gonna take
forever to find the thing you're looking
for especially when your eyes are as bad
as mine so thank god for this trick that
the game never tells you about as some
of you might know if you hold on to an
item and then shift-click into the
inventory all of that item will be moved
over to the different container really
this is such a helpful feature and it's
one that i had to find out through
hearsay and for me personally i get
loads of mileage out of this thing
especially when i play hunger games
number 11 slime block trampolines are a
great thing but for some reason when you
hold shift to try and accelerate down
faster it just breaks your legs i mean
sure it cancels out the bounce but it
also cancels out your life bar so that's
not gonna work really the way to cancel
out any reverberations from a slime
block is just by holding down the space
bar on impact that way the game settles
you down to an equilibrium and it
doesn't break your femur in the process
so if you ever put a slime block into
your fall chamber you just gotta
remember hold down that space bar and
stay the heck away from the shift key
number 12. much to everyone chagrin
minecraft doesn't have a wrench item but
if you're in creative mode you might not
know something called the debug stick
it's nowhere to be found in the creative
menu you just gotta summon one of these
into yourself but as soon as you get one
you're able to edit around block states
meaning if you want to rotate around a
certain redstone circuit or make that
stair look pretty sure enough this is
the way to do it i personally still want
one of these accessible in survival mode
especially for all the glazed terracotta
but hey at least for the time being it
is nice to know that you can get in
creative number 13 when you're looting
an end city you're sure to get in a
sticky situation and if you're not ready
for that fall damage you might want to
know this one because as it turns out if
you're up in the air and you eat one of
those coarse fruits then you can
actually get teleported right back down
to the ground which when you got the
levitation effect might be all you need
to save your life and while that can
help you get unstuck between a rock and
a hard place what if you're trying to
get in one and by that i mean what if
you're trying to trespass well the
coarse fruit is your friend too if you
eat one of these outside of a large
structure then you're actually able to
teleport inside of the building but just
make sure to have enough in your hotbar
to get out number 14. if you're like me
you love the soul speed enchantment but
the look of soul soil just really isn't
doing it for your base in that case no
worries because even if you put carpet
down or slabs on top of the other block
you're still able to get the full effect
sole speed meaning you can run around
with style and speed without having to
look at all the brown and keep black in
the floor to use the technical term
proving that this might just be the way
to get the full mileage out of the
enchantment without having to give up
your floor's facade number 15. in the
middle of building a big project
inventory management can be a real
hassle so if you place down a certain
block earlier but now you don't want to
go searching through your inventory all
you got to do is hit the middle click
button and it'll put it right in your
hotbar and for even more help in that
game mode if you hold ctrl and middle
mouse when you pick block then it'll
actually give you that exact thing with
the nbt data and then every time that
you place it down it's going to be
exactly like the one you just cloned
meaning if you want a copy of a command
block with a specific command or chest
with specific items in it this is the
easiest way to get it into your
inventory number 16. when i'm playing in
creative mode my inventory always gets
full of such junk so for that case
instead of just dragging everything over
to this x what you might not know is
that if you actually shift click that
same button it gets rid of everything in
your inventory and what i love is just
how thorough it is it gets rid of your
hop bar your main inventory armor
offhand slots everything you name it and
really i'm surprised the game doesn't
tell you about this at all because
frankly i can't imagine creative mode
without it and ever since i found out
about it it's let me transition between
creative builds with ease number 17.
this is a recent update that might have
passed by your radar and i know for most
of my friends it was definitely a
surprise for so long in minecraft
history the quickest way to change your
game mode was either by typing in the
command or using third party mods like
too many items but in recent updates of
the game you're now able to hit f3 and
f4 at the same time and then scroll
through the other game modes you even
get a handy menu to help you know which
one is which and i can tell you for sure
that in my experience this definitely
helped to speed up some of the recording
processes for the videos and i'll
definitely notice it's absence when
playing earlier versions of the game
number 18 for most players the f3
commands start and stop by opening up
this menu which i'll fully admit is a
really helpful menu and if it was just
that i'd totally be down for it but that
just makes it so much cooler there's so
much more you can do like why not
hitting f3 and b to toggle on hitboxes
or if your chunks aren't loading right
then why not just hit f3 and a if you've
ever wondered why some people can see
the full item durability this is how you
just hit f3 and h and boom there it is
and really if you're flying through the
end without looking at f3 and g you're
doing yourself a disservice i highly
recommend going over to the wiki and
memorizing a few of these commands
before your next session number 19 spawn
proofing in minecraft most of the time
just feels like guesswork i mean it
seems plenty bright but somehow that
creeper's still in my house so if you
want to be thorough you should know that
you can actually view the proper light
level in the f3 debug menu on the left
side below the facing tag you can see
block light level now for making sure
that monsters don't spawn you always
want to have that light level somewhere
above a seven since that means that even
at night the mob isn't gonna spawn there
it might help for brushing up some of
the rougher edges to your spawn proofing
and trust me when this makes the
difference between all monsters and none
of them you're gonna want to make that
ladder option and with that folks
discover that not so secret sub button
below and have a good one alright
