68 Minecraft Blocks with secret features

There are many

blocks

in Minecraft and many of the

blocks

have many different uses and some of those uses are more

secret

than others today I thought I would explore, I opened my inventory and started searching thinking of all the strange shapes. where you can use some of these blocks, the strange consequences of introducing new

features

or strange fringe use cases. It turns out that there are many of them. I have 68 to beat, so let's break the stone blade. You can actually send Redstone signals. through the sheets making use of a record that you see when you attach or detach a record from a line of sheets, updates are sent across the sheets and you can detect that with an observer the actual trapdoors the trapdoors do not cover entire blocks, but mobs think they cover entire blocks, which means they try to walk on them and quickly fall to their deaths or to climb incredibly useful stairs inside tight-fitting redstone contraptions that involve water, it gets covered on two sides, which means that you can control the water flow much easier.

Shape-Shifting Stairs I'm not kidding, that was tank number 10 of me doing that and that was the best one. Cornerstones have this wonderful property where they connect. It looks fantastic in decorations, but can also be used inside redstone contraptions to hide stairs. Small Stone Another strange way to send Redstone signals this time is by making use of walls. You see this line of walls right here. Currently it is a bit flat. When we push a block, it becomes one of the pillars, but this has the added advantage of instantly. sending an update along the line of walls, that wall could go from the building boundary to the bedrock and still send the Redstone signal instantly.

Zombie-proof doors. This door is currently open because of the way I placed it now. is closed if that confuses you then there is a chance you are a zombie. Zombies break down wooden doors regularly, but they can't break down doors that are open, so if you place it so that it looks closed while it's open, they won't be able to do it. To break it down, I admit this is incredibly obvious, but it's so obvious that people don't talk about it often, which means a lot of people might not know that if you set Netherrack on fire, it will stay on fire forever by falling.

They prevent them from flowing and when they are open nothing can collide with them, they do not have a hitbox, this makes them very useful in water-based farms. Redstone slabs. Slabs are transparent blocks that you can place Redstone components on, meaning you can snake Redstone. fences and iron bars line up in seemingly impossible ways fences connect to fences iron bars connect to iron bars but don't connect to each other, making for quite interesting looking Redstone gates mobile to explosions which would be expected as they are the most expensive blocks in the game they would have some unique

features

and I can confirm that the ancient rubble and also the Netherrite blocks have the interesting feature set of they can be pushed by pistons but also They have a very high blast resistance, meaning they don't explode when blown up and are very useful for things like tunnel balls that pass sounds as of Minecraft 1.20.

Amethyst blocks can now be used to transmit hidden frequencies. Deoxidizing copper. Everyone knows you can remove rust with an ax, but did you know you can also remove rust with a lightning bolt? This could be the most excessive way to get rid of oxidation on copper. A shulker clip comes to mind. You can actually get through the shulker boxes by simply standing on top of one of them and opening it, and then you will fall through it, giving you access. to a

secret

chest or something stationary, the terracotta glazed terracotta blocks not only look strange, they also have a strange feature that allows the Pistons to move them but Sly not hit them, this is one of those things that sounds like a game changer but then you really get used to it however I'm really glad it's in the game the fine Walks Like Farmland and Soul Sand path blocks are a bit shorter than the normal blocks which means you can shoot through the temporal transparency of Gap.

This slight lack of size actually turns normal dirt. or grass block from being a solid block in redstone terms to being a transparent block so it does not transmit Redstone signals very useful for secret entrances muddy elements smart blocks are also a little shorter than normal blocks although it may not seem like it Now this means you can throw objects on top of them and they will be picked up by a chute under the dripping mud, placing a drip stone under a block of mud will eventually turn it into a block of clay meaning fun chains can exist of farms, for example.

If you want to fully automate clay creation, you can make a stone generator, then a machine that turns that stone into moss, then you can plant a large spruce for podzol or acacias for rooted soil. You can convert either one. Those on normal darts and then using a water bottle you get mud and then you can drip the mud to create clay which you then blast with TNT or you can just choose not to build with Clay Frost Stander if you put on Frost Walker boots. on an armor stand, then you can use it to create ice areas.

Obviously, in the light, this ice will disappear, but if you build it underground, then the ice will stay. This is very useful for creating automated ice tunnels. Ice tunnels that build themselves. which is good because ships on ice travel incredibly fast, in fact they are one of the fastest methods of transportation in Minecraft, the lava farm, if you place a drip stone under the lava and then a cauldron under that pointed drip stone. The cauldron will eventually fill them with lava wall blocks. They have been used inside redstone contraptions for years because they are good at color coding.

Well, now they have a real use within Minecraft. They block sounds from reaching hidden sensors. It was at this moment that I realized. my sound has been off this whole time and I don't know why sad rugs used to be that if you had a bunch of rugs stacked on top of each other and then a mob or a villager on top of it, that villager couldn't unfortunately that's not the one anymore Otherwise, if you were still confused by the rugs, you wouldn't suffer this fate, so I want this to come back into the game. It was awesome for villager trading rooms and avoiding lags on secret servers.

Spyglass if you throw stained glass. on top of many layers of stained glass, it allows you to see through the layers of stained glass to the end, which was a word sandwich, weren't they the J Points North if you ever found yourself lost and the F3 key on? your keyboard mysteriously stopped working, just look down at a block of cobblestones, look for the letter J at the top and you'll know you're looking north. Moss Block Flying Machine, if you want a flying machine to come out from under the ground then the best blocks to use are moss blocks because the flying machine will simply pass through them.

It looks like something out of a movie. Why did it appear? It's a flying machine that disappears. It's the most advanced thing I've ever built. The least advanced thing I've ever done. Once this was built in the early days of your Minecraft world, before you got enchantments like Acura Affinity, it's always good to travel with some magma blocks so you can breathe underwater, and on the topic of water logging, the new Mangrove roots literally convert them. In a water block, water doesn't flow anywhere, which is incredibly useful for things like cobblestone generators. The strange Redstone walking on top of or upgrading Redstone ore actually creates a block upgrade that can be detected by an observer.

This Redstone has now been activated. and after a random period of time it will deactivate, which will send another update through our observer. Fried obsidian is the only block in the game that is not mineable and being a illuminator it emits a light level of 10 breakable mushrooms when you grow a large mushroom it can break things for example you can use it to break the frames of the final portals. Who would have thought this would be a Destroyer? It looks so charming. Strange. Slime cultivation. Brown mushrooms emit a light level of one, which means they are perfect. line up a slime farm you're building in a swamp biome because that means only slimes will be able to spawn this was discovered by the

minecraft

tech community after i built a swamp reference farm that was so bad i accidentally revved that i'm By farming being terrible, peace, love and plants, you don't need to kill a bunch of skeletons to get bones.

You can use a composter instead and a good option to use with composters is moss blocks because you can completely automate their production. Stone generator. turns into moss moss is exploded by TNT everything goes to a composter bamboo bone a single piece of bamboo turns on an oven for the shortest time possible no one would do it, which makes using the oven time turn on and then the oven turn off a large key for hidden entry. Cactus Breaker Cacti break Minecarts, which means they are incredibly useful to use at the end of Minecart tracks because it means your Minecart is automatically picked up with a mobstone generator that spawns in blocks. them, so if you're building a Wither farm then you should probably use Wither Roses because that will prevent other nether mobs from spawning other than Wither Skeletons, which makes it much more efficient to navigate Sun Flowers again if your F3 key stops to function mysteriously. then just remember the sunflowers, always write down the East secret codes if you are a security conscious person with a terrible memory then just know that the water lilies will always be facing the same direction when you place them on a specific block, which It means you can store your codes. using water lilies this is always incredibly satisfying and it's not my idea either, sark just thought of it like 10 years ago.

Pickles are incredibly good at lining up objects within streams of water. The object will hit the sea pickle and line up between the ice. and then the Hoppers line which is off the edge making it perfect for use in water storage systems. Redstone you can send Redstone signals through water. All you have to do is place a block of Soul Sand on the bottom and it will turn into a column of bubbles and that upgrade can be detected by a spotter now it takes a little while when you turn it on but when you turn it off it's instant Ram zombies zombies and Zombie Pigmen are attracted to turtle eggs they just want to stomp on them now this is a game mechanic we use a lot within farms because it means you can force mobs to continue their path to death. underwater explosions when TNT explodes underwater, it normally does not cause any damage to the environment, but if you play sand on top of the TNT before exploding it, then it is very useful for ocean monuments and corals killed by mining fatigue, probably one of the less exciting sounding blocks in the game, but without it we wouldn't have TNT duplication and that's probably one of the most exciting things. in the spongebob game, dry your pants, if you play with sponge blocks in the background, they will dry instantly.

I remember the days when you had to heat them up, it was a nightmare for super smokers, as well as reducing damage from falls, hay bales can also be used under campfires to increase the amount of smoke they give off which is perfect for smoke signals and, on the topic of smoke coming out of the hives while you harvest, whether in the form of honeycomb or honey bottles, it will prevent the bees from getting angry with the still thin blocks and he blocks despite looking full . -The size blocks are actually as big as the inside of the honey block.

Now, this means you can shoot arrows across gaps, shooting constantly. This Redstone lamp is permanently lit even though it is actually powered by many very fast Redstone pulses. that's because Redstone lamps need a tick to turn off. I've actually used this inside a really big pixel art painting program. The Fletching block doesn't have a single secret use, in fact, it doesn't even have a regular use. Just give us functionality, it's been years, shulker boxes are incredibly useful in many ways, but one way they are very useful for Redstone gadgets is that they are expendable, breakable reserves of Redstone signal strength, ceremonial burning, yeah, if you drop a mop on a campfire.

It will burn to death as if it were inflames, but the good thing is that the mob items are not actually destroyed, so you can pick them up using Hoppers. This is ideal for use on farms. Soul bonfires are even more effective killing machines. composters and cauldrons, these are moving blocks that store the Redstone signal and more importantly do not power the blocks around them, for example a redstone block would actually power the piston here and it simply wouldn't work. You will see them inside Redstone. There are many gadgets, the Jukebox is a block that reroutes Redstone lines, it is a solid block, so you can take the Redstone signal strength and you can also store the Redstone signal strength inside it and in Minecraft 1.20 you will also be able to drop or jump elements. inside and out this is very unusual the enchanted table has a secret feature of causing a massive fight within the

minecraft

community apparently it doesn't know its name different versions of minecraft call it something different in my version it's called enchanted table and that's it I call it "okay", that side I'm on the lodestone, besides it being the most attractive immovable object in the game, you can also right click on it with a compass and then your compass will always navigate back to the trap that supports the scaffolding.

Not only is he good at making buildings, he is also very good at killing people. See if you break the bottom of the scan fold. Obviously, the entire item shrinks, which can have dire consequences. Reading is good for Redstone. The lectern is great if you want to choose your Redstone signal strength because you can literally have a book telling you what your output signal strength will be. For example, we are on page eight and we are outputting a signal strength of eight. Look at the signs on my stream. I would say I have probably placed more signs inside water streams than I have.

Put up signs for signs' sake. They're cheap, stop water flow, and have no hitbox, making them perfect for the job. Open a barrel. I can open it very easily even though there are blocks on top of the barrels. You see that the barrels can be opened regardless of what is on top. The strange transmitting blocks that you will often see on observers' Redstone heavy contraptions are dripping note blocks and hoppers and that is because when they are on or off they send an update through the observers, which means that you can use them inside observer chains.

The same goes for Redstone lamps, but they are a little different in that they require a tick to turn off, meaning that when you turn them on with a spotter, the spotter who is detecting the Redstone lamp will detect turning them on and off in quick succession, giving you Double Pulse Silverfish Detection If you are in an area with a lot of silverfish blocks around, a good way to know if you are touching a silverfish block is by hitting it with your hand, hitting a normal rock that takes years to break by hitting a silverfish. stone breaks Almost immediately, Target blocks are rarely used as actual Target blocks and are instead often used for their unique functionality of being a solid block that redirects Redstone signals.

Things became a lot more compact when they were introduced, and on the topic of redirecting things, Redstone can redirect. create Bud behaviors so if I move this target block out the way you can see Redstone stops being redirected now it runs directly towards the redstone lamp this redstone lamp should be on but it's not because may not have realized that Redstone has been redirected. on it, it will only turn on when it receives a block update trigger. The wireless tripwire chain doesn't actually need to be connected to a tripwire hook so we can detect a player with it.

If you place a tripwire hook next to a button or also a spotter, then you will be able to take a tripwire exit. Redstone. Strange use of Hopper. Hoppers are obviously incredibly useful blocks in Minecraft, but they have the unique property of being movable objects that are transparent. They can also have Redstone components placed on top of them, making them very useful within the Howard rails of Redstone circuits, you'll often see them inside Observer's Redstone heavy contraptions because they are much more lag friendly than the use of Redstone lines. They also have some unique behaviors, for example being able to create instant Redstone lines. repeated setting for thousands of blocks when meandering, the output would still reach the end at the same time, that's ridiculous.

I'll put a link in the description and with that I think I've reached the end of my list of blocks we still have now we've switched to entities and elements and things, now there are no more blocks. I already finished 68 strange uses for Minecraft blocks, that was a lot. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll see you in the next video. see you
