42 Secret Minecraft Features You Didn't Know Existed 

pov you wait 5 weeks for a wifies video and you see 42 secret minecraft things Currently in the process of college applications which is why these are taking so long to get out but I promise once that's over AT LATEST by the end of the year I'll be uploading way more regularly and better videos :)

Wifies is one of the only ESvidrs who actually tells us facts that we didn’t know instead of telling us naming a sheep “Dinnerbone” makes it turn upside down

i love how wifies actually tells us stuff we actually probably didnt know instead of stuff we've heard hundreds of times

Dang that crafting grid inventory space was a pretty neat one. Learned lots of things in this one

That bioluminescence underwater thing would be so cool! They could add it to flooded caverns as a sort of new biome. I’d love for it to come back..

the lava trick I've actually found out myself, by accident trying to surface below a block, and I guess there happened to be flowing lava there the paintings are also really cool secrets, I suppose they could be real nice for some "elemental teams/factions", or adventure maps

the crafting grid should totally be a feature. as like a last resort. only activating when your inventory is full.

I can tell Wifies works hard on his videos. I think he deserves the amount of popularity he gets.

At first I thought the trick was simply being able to cure 4 zombie villagers simultaneously and I was like "... I can do that with a regular potion too if they're standing close together...". Being able to re-use the arrow due to piercing is definitely a good trick though.

Tip for multiplayer: So someone is killing you, but you have so many diamonds? Don't worry. Although it's not much it will be a lot after you die. So if you go to settings and change it so you auto respawn, you can put the stuff you want to save in the crafting thingy in the inventory, and everything that was in that space will still be with you even after you die ( if u want to try it plz do it on a random server with like a monster or smth cuz idk if it works on java )

Another note for the fact about rubies: the texture for the item is still in the game files, there's just no way to get them in-game

12:35 Fun fact, there actually is one thing that naturally causes an explosion with a high enough blast strength to explode liquids in survival. The wither has about a 1 in 1000 chance to fire a blue skull from their main head when targeting an enemy, and when it hits something it causes an explosion with a high enough blast strength to break lava and water! It's actually really annoying for building wither cages as you have to figure out a way to deal with them or they'll destroy your farm lol

I like how Wifies tells us facts we actually didn't know and not "Did you know the creeper was a mistake"

I really hope we get the underwater thing in a future update. And since it deals with bioluminescence, they could add the fireflies we were robbed of

I think the boat breaking is not about the height, but the speed. I somewhat recently ran into a wall in an ice boat track and it broke

The biggest problem with enchanying a gapple would be that it's only possible in creative mode.

About block hardness, the Blockopedia, which was released in 2014, lists the blast resistance of all the blocks available at that time, including Bedrock (and all other unbreakable blocks) at 18,000,000, Obsidian at 6,000, and Water and Lava at 500. The Blockopedia also lists Fire as a gas, while Air is considered "the absence of a block" (neither are given a blast resistance).

Imagine making full diamond armor with prot 4 unbreaking 3 and thorns 3 only to put in on your villagers. That would be so cool, especially because you can get basically the armor from the trades and the books too 😂

1:10 The beacon is made so you always find home, and an achievement proves that by being called 'bring HOME the beacon' so that's why it has a MAP in its textures

If you use the invisible item frame glitch use glow frames so it blends in more trust me I have done it before

I like how Wifies tells us facts we actually didn't know and not "Did you know if you close a trapdoor over you, you will go in the crouching position"

I wanna say I knew 1/42 but I may have to say I knew 0.5/42 with the one being the item name colors. I had a hint that it could be colored to reference the rarity, but I also thought initially it was colored for the item.

This guy has over 160 million views on youtube and still goes to college, respect and goodwill to this brother right here

I've myself discovered how Enchanting Table can detect invisible players. I've even used it for house protection!

in older versions if you shift click items into a enchanting table you could get the uncraftable potion

Wifies not only tells us actually cool facts, he also shares the love with his fellow ESvidrs by sending us their way 🥰

I actually recently learnt about the bee stings being visible on the player like arrows. I was not aware of Swift Sneak. At all.

I already knew about the swift sneak sprinting one - another tip for this is that you can go even faster by jumping like you would when sprinting normally, and spam jump in 2 high areas. The best thing about it, in my opinion, is that it lets you go fast while also taking far less hunger since you're technically not sprinting!

I remember playing on my xbox 360 with my friend, on a Minecraft world with a tower we had built. I would always listen to the music discs we had, and my favorite was Cat. I had no clue that the last part wasn’t in the other versions.

Idea using the cat remote control, hook up the cat remote to chunk band which you can place under your base, so whenever you leave the server, a no one can raid your base

You can go even faster with swift sneak by doing the same things you did but holding D and W or A and W and going in a straight line but make sure to not stop moving or you will go into normal swift sneak.

@Wifies actually, the -1 hardness in Minecraft does not actually equal -1. Minecraft only allows positive numbers (Java Integers) to be set for the hardness level. Setting to a negative number actually just tells Java to count backwards from 0. Since there are no negative numbers to count backwards with, Java will start then count to the closest thing, which is the biggest number it can count. You can think of these numbers as a circle, not a line. The closest numbers to 0 (backwards/forwards) are actually 1/2147483647. The hardness of something like Bedrock is actually equal to 2147483647. The more you know 🌈

Hello @Wifies, I was wondering, since your theories align into a storyline, if you could make a video about your entire storyline, like that it would make like a story that describes minecraft lore up tho this point.

They should’ve kept the bioluminescence stuff. Imagine you kill the warden and then make a base there. So cool!

3:38 You can also do that in 1.8 by shift clicking an item to crafting grid and exiting at the same time, but it also triggers an anticheat.

I used to remove Snow using buckets before, but now I carry end portals and obsidian for melting the snow. It's very easy thank you wifies!

8:35 smoother block versions of block actually have more blast resistance than their regular block variants

This video was very good, gave a lot of helpful tips. I got 24/42. Not bad!

I was surprised to be taught new stuff for once, most videos like this just repeat things I've known for months but these are almost all new to me. Thank you, it was entertaining.

I love how this person actually credits the inventors of these tricks.

I knew 24/42 of them, which is the smallest amount I have gotten on ANY of these types of videos! Good job finding these facts!

the glazed lime terracotta doesn't resemble a crossbow it resembles a quarter of a lime slice. Terracotta places depending on which direction you are facing, and if you place it right you will create a lime slice.

9:14 In accessibility you can show the operator's tab and the paintings are in there as well. :D

I just discovered today that I was featured here for the extra slots method, ty! Really nice video, especially the way you explain the hidden features!

1:44 it’s cheaper and more convenient in the long run if you grind for the weakness tipped arrow fletcher trade

The Invisibility effect in minecraft doesn’t make you complete invisible to any mob! The range is reduced in wich the mob can see you! You can further reduce this through croutching and through wearing the head of the specific mob :D

Lets all appreciate the effort he makes in his videos just so we don’t miss anything and to keep us happy!!

10:48 Now that I know what kind of colorblindness Dinnerbone has, I’m struggling even more to understand why everybody lists it as one of the reasons Mojang made the switch from rubies to emeralds, if not the only reason. Like, I get switching to a green gem to help distinguish it from a red powder, but how is *that* trying to cater to a kind of colorblindness *that mixes the two colors together?* Sorry if I sound rude, it’s just that I’ve been confused on this for years.

Endportals give off light and apparently, snowlayers do not consider a heatsource to melt, but certain lightconditions. Endportals check those conditions

I had to research the values of the weird boat breaking, and what stands out is that the values are of two pairs each time, each time the pair is separated by a value that increments for each pair, (1,2,3,4), and the other thing is that the second value of each pair is almost a perfect parabola (quadratic pattern)

11:16 vexes are changing the texture of its self. And it looks like an allay but still has the same colour pallete. ( in the 1.20 update I think ) So I guess this ruins this a bit.

I remember how we used to cover coastral areas with soul sand, It stops your boat so it wont break. But It shakes a lot while floating, causing a lot of lag💀

Despite all these years, the game does not lose its excitement.. A great update, a great excitement..

That bioluminescent deep dark concept should be it’s own type of cave (with glow squids too)

with the craftibg grid one, you could do that in alpha version without needing to change any settings for it

The last secret you spoke of genuinely helps prove the latest game theory minecraft video, literally the latest video on their channel rn. That actually continues to prove that what we saw in that video is more true than we think.🎉🎉

genuinely interesting! the inventory needs updating but the crafting slots will do in the meantime.

Fun fact: The extra inventory slots trick was referenced in the very first Minecraft novel, "The Island".

A way you can use the snow end portal thing is if you and your friends are boutta go to the End, you replace all the floor with snow blocks and put dripstone or lava or whatever underneath, then when you ignite it they all fall to their deaths.

Timestamps for the 42 features since I was bored (0:16) Number 1. You can fly faster or slower in spectator mode by scrolling. (0:35) Number 2. Using only a few blocks you can make a remote control to do whatever you want whenever you want. (1:04) Number 3. Map icons inside beacon files (1:16) Number 4. By using a piercing 4 crossbow and a tipped arrow of weakness you can cure 4 zombie villagers at once. (1:44) Number 5. You can send secret messages with sculk. (2:47) Number 6. By setting up a dispenser with thorns armor next to a villager, you can trick your friends into attacking a villager that will fight back. (3:13) Number 7. You can use the crafting grid as extra inventory space before the version 1.19. (3:49) Number 8. You can make one way glass using just maps and item frames. (4:17) Number 9. If you start with a sprint run up and then crouch which using Swift sneak you can go way faster. (4:33) Number 10. To see netherfloor when there is lava (4:48) Number 11. Evoker has a mechanic to turn sheep red (5:12) Number 12. Allays were going to be called Wisp or Pixie (5:24) Number 13. Boats will still break into their raw materials if dropped from certain height (5:47) Number 14. A redstone contraption you can set it up so whenever you leave a server your cat will sit down on a chest, and get a redstone pulse to do whatever you want. (6:12) Number 15. Bee stingers are a visible model like arrows when you get stung by one (6:27) Number 16If you wear leather boots, you can scale any wall made of powdered snow. (6:49) Number 17. The noises for the axolotl mob are just heavily edited dog sounds. (7:04) Number 18. If you use the command to give yourself a potion, you’ll get an uncraftable potion impossible to get in survival. (7:26) Number 19. If you craft a firework with a firework star and use it with an elytra, it will damage you (7:42) Number 20. The hardness for unbreakable blocks is -1 (8:05) Number 21.

Smooth variants of blocks, like quartz and sandstone actually have a bigger blast resistance than their regular versions. (8:43) Number 24.

Love how he always comes up with original content

.5/42 I knew that the glazed blocks rotated and looked like tiles, but didn't know they were based on real tiles. So cool!

9:57 This is because the arrows fire from the arm of the player, the same way the items are shown in the players hand.

The boat thing is because mojang wanted the boats to drop sticks and planks when it dropped onto land, not in air, neither in water. But when the boat checks, whether it is on ground, it is actually in air. Except you dropped it from the perfect height

I’ve spent thousands of hours in Minecraft and I only knew 14 of these. Nice job!

Amazing video with new discoveries. How do you usually find most of this information? (8/42)

I knew 14/42 facts u told. Btw, the ubcraftable potion can also be found on the achievement icon of the achievement 'Local Brewery'. Press the Z key to access all achievements

for someone that played minecraft for almost 10 years im shocked that i mananged to know 6/42. this is a good channel.

12:27 In my opinipn, this would be MUCH better. I hate current deep dark, it is boring and useless one-time thing. But unused one could be very beatiful with a number of cool light blocks. Deep dark is intended to be scary and creepy, but i can't get the atmosphere...

for anyone interested in games dev stuff, in the code, -1 refers to infinity as computers can't visualise that for obvious reasons, if you play a game and the melee or the starter weapon has a visible ammo count of -1, it's likely a bit jank and rough around the edges as you wouldn't display that to players

31/42 Wow I love these videos, they always teach me so much I didn't used to know about the game! Great job!

The hardest thing to do in Minecraft is to plan out a build, gather the material, and build to the point you are almost finish and then stop. And NOT complete the build despite knowing how it’s supposed to look and having the materials. It will drive you crazy.

8:20 I know how this will be kinda useful. Put a status chamber under the portal then if some1 will try to open it you will immediately teleport there but still idk what use it can do

Yeahhhh.. about the extra inventory slots. If you die with something in those glitched slots, they don’t drop. Probably not the best idea unless you use it for dirt or something.

4 out of 42, been playing the game for 10 years now. I'm always baffled how you can find those secret facts.

I remember when you were uploading all your manhunts, you've grown so much and I'm happy for you :)

I knew the slabs no skulk message thing, the horns on armor stand, invisible item frames making one way glass, lava x-ray, the 'wisps', the uncraftable potion, I knew that smooth has more blast resistance, the golden apple horse trick, the allay vs vex, the enchanting table invis, the "haunting" of endermen. I know a...bit.

There used to be a message in one of the lang files that said "jere is a weasel". I believe it was an achievement in the Cornish language file. It was removed when advancements replaced achievements.

Thanks for the trick to curing multiple villagers at once, so helping (16/42)

i knew 40/42 of the facts and i enjoy your content, keep up the good work

I watch DocM77, so only 8/42 of these were new to me. This included Jerrylum remote control, even though I knew it existed, I didn't know how to do it until now.

The lime glaze terracotta reminds me more of the handle and guard of a sword rather than a crossbow.

Knew 17/42 of the features, learned a bunch!

8/42, very good rate. Thanks for telling actually interesting facts!

Wifies may not upload as often but the quality is just mind blowing

The skulk message can not only be used with just slabs but if you message it with stone and your creative mode just use infested stone

for the ender portal snow one you can use the snow as a block update so someone like dream could use this in a manhunt maybe to set off some tnt to kill the hunters or to teleport people away from the portal with a stasis chamber

You can also tame a horse on the first try if you pulled them with a lead.

I found that heat and block-light are basically the same thing: any block that emits light is hot, any block-light level of 9 (if I remember it correctly) or higher will melt ice

i've been playing minecraft for 8+ years and I didn't even know about that painting one... the heck!?!? genuinely, thank you. I usually watch videos like these when I'm bored, and mostly just as an ego thing because then i get to be like "haha lol yes i know this one" but wow. holy hecking wow. this will add so much to my builds too and i just wow. thank you

10:09 Using golden apples to tame a horse has a higher chance that they will likely accept being your horse

I knew only 15 out of the 42 things beforehand. Those being: 5. 6. 8. 10. 13. (boats also can break if your far enough away from the world border whilst being in the world border) 16. 17. 19. 24. 25. (nostalgia moment) 26. 32. 37. 40. 41.

Fun fact for the Ruby’s one, Ruby’s actually still have a texture file in the game’s code, there’s just no way to get the item in-game.

Holy moly the thing about using your crafting grid as extra inventory rattled loose some memory, I'm pretty sure that used to be a thing in regular minecraft way back when as well

Wow didn't know the thing with enderpearl stasis chamber pretty cool! Related to the "alive mice", did you know that dead mouse actually had a custom cape, that would be on his head resembling mouse ears? 36/42!

It's honestly been so long since I've played Minecraft that I believe the last time I played avidly was update 1.12 so... Most of these are completely new to me.

When we needed him most, he returned...

for number 22 you can use it as a trap, use an observer to detect when the snow gets melted and make it send tnt or something down the end portal

I've been doing technical Minecraft for a while now and I somehow managed to get 16 out of the 42. The rest I didn't know by a long shot.

I thought it was going to be secrets that almost everyone knows already(since that’s almost all secret vids),but then I only knew 3 of the 42 Some of these are kinda crazy ngl Keep it up!
