30 Secret Minecraft Things You Didn't Know 

Interesting fact about the mule: You can’t breed mules in minecraft, which reflects how mules and hinnys are sterile in real life.

Wifies: it burns zombified pigmen Pigman: *isn’t burning* Wifies: *punch*

...a note on the handedness of skeletons: bows are usually held in the non-dominant hand and drawn with the dominant hand so actually 89% of skeletons are left handed rather than 11%.

I thought the mule being bred from horses and donkeys was a well-known fact, I think you also need it for the advancement where you need to breed every animal in the game.

Can we talk about how amazingly awful the Skeleton's aim was at 1:36 ? Incredible

This is legit the only minecraft video that has "you didn't know" in the title where I actually didn't know 90% of this.

2:16 A safe way to dig down is to dig a two-block wide hole while standing in the middle of it, and only digging one row of blocks at a time so when you see lava or a ravine below you, you are still standing on one of the blocks and don't fall down. I always use this to dig down to the stronghold.

5:50 mobs that are usually fire resistant like zombified piglins burn in lava cauldrons *proceeds to punch said zombified piglin*

Fun fact: You don’t need to rename a mob in a bucket to make it stay forever. Simply catching the fish or axolotl in a bucket will make it not despawn once it is released

“Zombified piglins burn in lava cauldrons” *Shows punching the piglin*

Notch: I like the colour cyan let’s use it for lots of buildings Wifles: coincidence I think not

"The warped forest, literally the only non-red thing in the nether" Bastions: Am I a joke to you?

The bell trick reminds me that you can actually bring a bell to a woodland mansion, so that you can scout out all the vindicators and evokers before ever entering the structure.

If you aren't satisfied with the creeperproof floor, use a water bucket to waterlog it and make 100% blast proof

if you make a floor out of slabs to avoid explosion damage... might as well waterlog them while you're at it and make it completely explosion proof.

Can confirm of the dig straight down thing. I've done it for ages, without issue. Ladders are massively superior, as well, to stepped mines.

The skeleton at 1:36- *misses every shot* Steve: *Finally, a worthy opponent.*

“Land’s axolotls” That is yet another great wifies joke lol

“It’s actually relatively safe to dig straight down” HOW MANY OTHER LIES HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE JEDI COUNCIL

I remember when the llama carpets were this huge thing everyone was amazed by, I completely forgot you could do that lmao

“its relatively safe to dig straight down” years of training, wasted

Wifies: You didn't know these. Me, hitting replay: You have no power here!

digging down used to be real dangerous when there was an actual lava level, now its only moderately dangerous and not at all if you have full protective gear since youll survive easily both a fall as a good amount of time swimming in lava, biggest danger is dropping in a ravine and immediately getting creepered multiple times

Torch and block trick is literally revolutionary. How have I gone an entire decade never knowing that

New fact: axolotls are the only mob that can get dizzy when you explode tnt or a creeper near it

Wooden slabs used to need to be mined with a pickaxe. This still exists in creative, with the petrified oak slab.

14:40 What kind of seggs is that?

THIs really helped me so much with my pillager problems. XD

11:45 "It's definitely a nice little Easter egg but in my heart, you're the real goat" I needed that, thank you

Because I cant find anyone else talking about this, sadly. The reason the "Void" preset has you on a stone platform centered on 8, is because its the middle of a single chunk

I feel like the Mule was a pretty well known one, you can even get a spawn egg for them.

"everything related to Minecraft lore is cyan" the enderdragon: am i a joke to you?

Interviewer: "What is the meaning of life to you?" Me: 𝗰 𝘆 𝗮 𝗻

I think llamas need chests instead

Digging straight down is still dangerous, because in newest version you can dig into giant cave and die due to fall damage

Lagging is actually good sometimes. (still really annoying though) Once I was lagging pretty hard, fell down from a pretty darn high cliff, but I was lagging so much I didn't take any damage at all.

15:09 That llama just casually walks inside the dirt blocks

I already didn't know these first two things and now I feel obligated to learn more.

The stair building with the torch, the dropper with a glass column for items, and the hashtag (#) with a category word (flower) searching for items, are all very useful! Thank you.

looking at all these videos past the release of the very last secrets video. i love seeing your channel's growth in the beginning. inspiring. thanks for your videos Wifies.

lamas can walk through walls

“Everything related to lor-“ MatPat: HELLO INTERNET!

Thank you so much, I was worried this was clickbait but I knew almost nothing of these things while I've been actively playing minecraft since beta.

I learned the shapeless thing while crafting Flint and Steel before. Pretty cool trick!

8:07 One time I was playing Minecraft Bedrock, and I was trying to rename an axolotl with an anvil. When I put it down, I was disappointed to see it didn't work for some reason, but when I tried to put it back in the bucket, it got struck by lightning! This was 25 blocks underground, under 30 blocks of ocean!

Fun fact - If you shoot a creeper with a tipped arrow (like an arrow of regeneration) and it blows up, the potion effect will start lingering at that spot. Try it out!

Love your vids been binge watching just subbed not long ago !

these were really cool and helpful including the st one

12:11 “Polar Bears were once removed for being too sad” :( Me: *Their just vibing*

"You probably agree that we should craft books like this" *Crafts in the exact opposite to the corner I've used for 7 years*

@Wifies thank you for those great Minecraft things, they really help a lot

Here are the most useful tips for survival: 1) 0:56 #1 Find lapis, dig 4 blocks north (neg z) to find diamonds a. 15:56 #31 (mute video) If no diamonds, likely probably hit chunk border: go 12 blocks south instead 2) 1:21 #2 Sneaking and 1:56 #3 mob heads increase mob detection distance 3) 2:33 #4 dig straight down: 64% you hit nothing (bedrock), 6% chance to fall in lava 4) 5:24 #9 Slabs reduce creeper blast 5) 10:04 #18 Add emoji-like characters on a sign with alt + (#) ex: alt 24 does up arrow (different for mac) 6) 12:11 #23 Polar bears were removed from the game because a dev realized Minecraft players are basically polar bears.

Axolotl: exists Wifies: I said we Gerald today

Poor Agnes, she seems like a sensitive person. She always seems sad when needing to delay something, or if she feels sad for something it has to change.

13:10 about heads, i feel like you should get your own head when u get killed by a charged creeper, since the player head is in the game anyways, (and yes your own head, it counts as a player head) Only way for hardcore players to get a player head, would be by killing another player, so u would have to invite them so they can die and leave :)

Congrats on 1m man! I love your vids and you deserve it!

You can't disable blaze spawners with torches Bedrock: Hold my torch

"if the server is laggy you can eat cakes" have fun trying placing cackes in a laggy server

Commenting because I just saw your video discussing the theories of what happened to the ancient builders; the detail that 11% of skeletons spawn with a left dominant hand suggests that they were in fact in one point in time the human race and some other plague or phenomenon caused them to become well... skeletal

4:59 - you can use waterlogged slabs that will completely blast proof the floor.

Wifies: don’t worry about digging straight down Me: *impossible*

"Creative exclusive" *goes back to when you can craft God Apples*

Dude. With tip number 14, you probably saved me hours of grinding on my superflat world. Thank you a lot.

4:08 new brdging method torch place

" feel free to break this rule " Everyone: how about no

“It’s actually relativity safe to dig straight down” Nothing like the simulations Edit: 69 likes, don’t break it

For Windows, you can also use (Windows Key + Period/Full Stop) to access the symbols.

The new update gonna make mining straight down so terrifying 💀

Can we talk about the llama just walking through walls at 15:12

Interestingly enough, and I haven't seen anyone mention this since the Nether update, netherite ingots have shapeless crafting as well! It was the first shapeless craft I noticed when I couldn't remember the pattern on the wiki, so I made it a sort of yin yang instead.

8:22 does it work with fish too? Just wanted to know caus i dont have the new version of mc.i only had the old version its 1.2 🙃

No way, I just noticed that Wifies uses the same font as Vsauce, and in the exact same manner, a true man of culture we have right here in front of hus. I love your videos btw

Digging straight down isn’t even a rule anymore, it’s a way of life.

*Fun Fact:* Tags are also used in the game's code for making recipes (e.g. the planks tag is used for the stick recipe). They're also used to protect blocks from the dragon and the wither.

you freaked me out when you crafted the book in the corner, i always craft it was a horizontal line of paper with a leather centered over it. didnt know it was shapeless but definitely didnt craft it in the corner

I know much of these but not all! Good video as always, bud! :)

You can dig straight down! It's alright! Note: I was not alright.

You can heal shields in Minecraft by wood planks in anvil..

4:20 Me on Bedrock edition sad violin

Omg ive been trying to figure out for years how I can make stairs without using 3 blocks for each step omg thank you!!!

"Wolves, or Land Axolotls..." Can you pick up a wolf in a bucket? I didn't think so.

Fun fact : 2b2t players carry a shulker full of cake so when the server is under heavy lag or someone is trying to crash the server it would take you sometimes 5 to 10 mins to eat normal food and so that they don't die from hunger bc of the lag they have a shulker of cake with them :D

14:34 everyone is ignoring that cow walking through the fense lol

Great video. I never used crossbows before because I didn’t know the rockets did additional damage. I thought it just looked cool. Normal power 5 bows are generally better in my opinion, but this changes that! I’ll for sure have to try this out. 102 Eyecraftmc Regiultima Regiultima 3 days ago I was not aware of Fire Charges giving an added blast radius. Definitely going to use that for my next firework rockets. I like adding Gold Nuggets into mine as well for the aesthetic effect. Also, an Iron farm is a great source of Red Dye from the Poppies that drop from it. Much easier than scavenging bones from Soul Sand Valleys to Bonemeal flowers. You can even turn excess Poppies into Bonemeal if you want more color variety from the flowers. 53 Eyecraftmc Helio_Asou Helio_Asou 6 days ago (edited) Due to how damage works on Minecraft (Java), adding Multishot doesn't increase damage but increases damage area. The thing is that when one firework hits you, you enter into the red damage animation, which actually are invulnerability frames that last 0.5 seconds, so you're not receiving extra damage from the other 2 fireworks. The only way you can add more damage while being in the red animation is receiving damage greater than the first one, and in that case it doesn't stack, it overwrites the smaller one lol Still kinda deadly having 9 crossbows against people without the correct armor set 73 Eyecraftmc Khoa Lê Khoa Lê 5 days ago I knew this ages ago. I use it as my main weapon in late game when i have some farms providing me decent amount of meterials for fireworks so i can spam rapidly without worrying. super fun and powerful trust me, totally life changing 25 blue donkey blue donkey 4 days ago You seem knowledgeable, and I like how you didn’t try to make this into a 10 min video. Subscribed

The thing I like about Wifies “Skip The Tutorial” Videos, is that most of these facts most people don’t actually know ,unlike most of these videos, where the facts are well known.

2:48 Finally someone that doesn’t talk like 90% of Minecraft players

I know 19 of these good video subbed:)

Yes! On the lapis & diamond part is actually true! And on redstone too. You see if you spot a redstone ore on the grey "+" on your screen can be helpful. If you put the grey "+" on some red colors on the redstone it'll change the color to blue or cyan like the diamonds meaning the diamonds are nearby your spot.

fun fact: jeb added polar bears because his wife liked them

Ah, I fine addition to my 3am RU-vid binge.

5:51 I like how he is punching the zombified Piglin when it is suppose to burn lol

2:45 digging straight down is still bad. A water bucket cannot save you every time (it usually won't) And even though it's a low chance of falling into lava, it's still a chance nonetheless and should be avoided. He also didn't take into account digging into a really tall cave and falling to your death, or digging straight up and getting suffocated. Still never dig straight down or up, no matter how safe you think you are. And even if you do end up safe, you cannot easily get up or down the hole you just dug. If you need to dig straight down, mine out 1x2 blocks and stand in the middle of those 2 blocks.

“The warped forest, the only non-red thing in the nether…” Sad basalt delta and soul sand valley noises

Rule 1 of minecraft being "don't dig straight down" is more of a meme than a rule.

Love your videos bro 👌🏽

10:15 This works on MacOS but in a different way, each key on the keyboard except for ctrl, cmd, fn, shift, tab, caps lock, space, enter, esc, and delete. if you press those keys at the same time as option (alt), they'll produce a special character.

“Burns” actually gets punched by wifies.

Wifies: you only have a 6 percent chance of hitting lava when you dig straight down I don't know if I want a 6 percent chance to lose all my items.

You can have alt codes in enchantments too if you play on windows. I have 3 skulls on my greatsword

The slabs are explosion resistant because they used to all be stone type, even the wooden ones needed a pickaxe. I guess they just never bothered to change the explosion resistance when they fixed the block type
