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!

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

I love how most of this is just Etho wisdom that broke Grian's mind.

Grian screaming like R2D2 is the purest joy I have ever heard

[Twie]

Huge respect for anybody that transports dolphins for a pathway in survival

1:25 This whole chunk of Grian just being purely excited made my whole day and made me extremely happy. 😭 This is literally amazing.

The brief period where the killer bunny *was* in vanilla minecraft was pretty hilarious. Especially for hardcore worlds. You never expect the bunny inquisition.

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.

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)

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.

1:27 Grian running around really fast while making screaming sounds like a kid in a candy store on a suger rush is the best thing I've seen all week

[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."

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

[PIXIESTICKJOKER]

grians laughs and odd screams are so funny when he's with etho, scar and cub lmao
they're contagious

[angelalauber]

Grian's screams of pure joy are glorious and have made my day

[coconutcute]

You can take a wet sponge, put it in a furnace, then use a lava bucket as fuel. This will leave an empty bucket in the fuel slot, but one the wet sponge gets smelted, THE BUCKET IN THE FUEL SLOT GETS FILLED WITH WATER. I learned this from Etho when he was trying to make an automated brewery in the nether.

[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.

I love the excited Grian sounds when Etho showed him the water trick 😂

[katiequeen]

grian’s goblin screeching as he zoomed around ethos place just made my day

[Nebagram]

If you're on fire, you eliminate powdered snow blocks simply by running through them, resulting in the odd circumstance of potions of fire resistance being really useful in snowy mountain biomes (though you do have to re-set yourself on fire after eliminating each snow block/column of blocks).

[angelaburrow]

I can't say how many times I've rewatched the time Etho showed Grian the first point. There's something so precious about a grown man screaming with excitement & happiness. Lol They say us Brits are repressed too! Scar's reaction was great as well. 😁
