32 Secret Minecraft Things You Didn't Know Were Real 

If you didn't watch the last bit at 16:04 I pretty much just mentioned how I'm gonna be stopping weekly uploads temporarily and still uploading a tiny bit less (but more high quality yay). Mostly thanks to school. Either way I appreciate all the kindness up till this point and I look forward to getting 1 MILLION together :D

I always thought the sticks dropped by witches represented wands.

6:17 I believe that hoglins are scared of nether portals because if they go into the overworld they zombify, so this feature makes sure the only way to get a zoglin is intentionally, plus it makes sense lore-wise since hoglins have likely grown to fear nether portals. As for respawn anchors, the top of the block looks like a nether portal when lit.

14:08 this is to prevent Z fighting. if rails were placed right onto the block a rendering artefact would occur where the rendering engine flip flops between rendering the surface of the block on top and rendering the rails on top due to both peices of geometry sharing the exact same location, practically mashed together.

4:06 Did you know blazes also have x-ray vision !

Wifies always shows the secret in the thumbnail first. Respect.

Hoglins are scared of nether portals because in the overworld they turn in to a zoglin, and as a zoglin they turn against theyre brothers, the hoglins.

6:06 i think the reason for hoglins to be scared of nether portals and respawn anchors is to prevent them from spawn-camping you when you enter the nether for the first time and don't know how to deal with them, and when you respawn in the nether with no gear

6:11 Maybe the hoglins are afraid of accidentally setting foot in the overworld and becoming zoglins as a result. Either that, or Mojang wanted them NOT to be spawn campers lol

Chests aren’t the only things in the game with custom recipe obtainment methods. Being in water unlocks the boat recipe :)

i knew about enchantability from that one time i tried to make a mod years ago, but it's mostly from making modpacks. Sometimes configs have an enchantability stat you can tweak. sort of knew the repeater one since people would build those in some of the early vids i saw. didn't know about most of these though, since they're either new features (and i only just know migrated my modpacks to a version past 1.12), so this video was pretty neat.

14:41 look at the captions here they say "Maybe it's man-made?" interesting🤯

Probably the hoglin is scared of the respawn anchor because the devs didn’t want players to get spam killed by the hoglins staying around the anchors

12:40 Another fact on this that is important to remember is that brewing stands actually do NOT drop the item when mined with anything other than a pickaxe. I remember learning this the hard way in survival lol.

9:25 finally something i know, i’m pretty sure it’s because of physics and density and stuff because i specifically remember a video on that, though i don’t remember the specifics, but it’s still pretty cool of them to add

I knew all the informations but they're still cool. Thank you!

Actually, if I recall correctly, 15:12 isn't actually the only exception. Boats are unlocked as soon as you touch water instead of getting wood!

3:04 They had ONE CHANCE to name this a "redstone tick" and they COMPLETELY missed it

I'd assume rails float slightly to prevent them from clipping into the block they're on. and perhaps it was a workaround from way back when the game was still a small project, and they just never changed it.

Wondering if the hidden hats are there for releases in certain countries where such headwear is expected or required.

Me: (opens my own shulker box inside a bastion) An entire horde of piglens: *Whomst has awakened the ancient one*

Finally, a 'you didn't know' video that actually includes stuff that we don't know (for the most part)

I know this video was posted a long time ago in sep but I still wanted to say I only knew two of those secrets and I hope your haveing a good day/night

I didn't know about the piston crafting recipe reference. Nice touch

The secret "Mojang" sound is probably a reference to the "SEGA" that plays when you start up sega games

I think hoglins are afraid of respawn anchors because they don’t want a hoglin potentially spawn camping, and they are afraid of nether portals because the developers didn’t want players to be instantly rushed when entering the nether

Ones I knew: Formatting Codes - I also know that the format character can only be added via NBT editing in Java Edition, and can also be used to configure the MOTD for servers. Love Mobs Diamond Chicken Redstone Bug Hopper Trick - You can also do this by filling a shulker box and then using a piston to break it (since you're technically not breaking the shulker box yourself). Spiders/silverfish/slimes/illusioners having wallhax - in fact, having a spider under the floor is how many of the early redstone-based minecraft boss battle minigames were able to track the player's location before the invention of command blocks. Player torso offset - Z-fighting is when you have two textures layered exactly on top of each other. The Z buffer can't handle this, so it swaps back and forth between the two textures instead, causing the weird shimmer effect we all know and hate. Hoglin scares - this is to prevent the player from getting spawn-camped by Hoglins. Repeaters - I didn't know that the recipe was a reference to the repeater circuits people used to build, but I did know about torch-based repeated circuits. Gold being easy to enchant - This has been documented as far back as when enchants were first added. Honey bottle being full - I noticed this but didn't think much of it. Bedrock is transparent to beacons Lightning Behavior - you can also use lightning to identify the location of loaded chunks on a server by detecting where lightning strikes. On 2b2t, the infamous griefer Popbob used to use this to locate bases to attack. Witchy Easter Eggs - I knew about the mouth and the fact that witches drop sticks (early fuel farms for automated super smelters used witches) but I didn't know the sticks were a Monty Python reference. High value blocks being dropped when mined by hand - I knew about a few of these, but not the tinted glass. Hovering rails - this is also the case with ladders and vines. Corrupted music in The End Warped forest - Warped forests also happen to only have one mob spawn - Endermen. Some sort of relation to The End, maybe?

I think the hoglins are afraid of being zombiefied. That could be the reason for their scare of Nether portals. And in a Respawn Anchor there’s a little Nether portal too. But I have absolutely no idea for the fungi

The wither shoots blue skulls when it doesn’t have a target to fire at, that’s why they shoot those skulls.

To number 16: I'm guessing it is bcs os that honey is more sticky then water, so it would stay in the bottles entrance and not slide all the way down.

Very underated. Love your vids. I only knew 17 of those secrets

I think the things Hoglins are scared of have explanations. For those who are confused about the Warped Mushrooms, they are from a biome that might as well be a parallel dimension of the Crimson Forest, and the Hoglins spawn in Crimson Forests. For the Respawn Anchor and Portal, they have never seen obsidian or crying obsidian have a use, so they think something bad might happen if they touch them.

"Is 10 a lot?" "Depends. Pennies? No. Minecraft facts? Yes."

7:54 On the fact that the dragon head moves its mouth with redstone power: ever heard of Galvani's frog leg experiment? I think of it as being like that

Wifies: *explains that the warped forest has no music* Lava: *casually floating*

Another reason the beacon beam goes through bedrock is because beacon beams are also used in the end city portals after you beat the dragon though it’s a bit glitchy and I think it’s mostly just to show you where the new portal is

They probably don't let hoglins near respawn anchors and nether portals is so that they don't kill you immediately after re-spawning or coming out of the nether portal.

I actually learned new things about the game in this! thank u

Well done for reaching 1 Million subscribers. I subscribed too. I am so proud of you.

6:00 The reason Hoglins are scared of Respawn Anchors and Nether Portals is to prevent spawn camping and the invalidating of portals respectively. I mean imagine if you where permanently stuck dying because a Hoglin decided your anchor looked nice or that you couldn’t use a portal because a Hoglins’ favorite color is purple?

6:17 no clue about respawn anchors, but i think they avoid portals so that they don't accidentally wander in and become zombified. also, if it's the only one for miles, then that's helpful to allow players that are stuck in the nether still eat

I knew 11, and I'm quite aged into Minecraft Easter eggs, so well done, we never stop learning

1:26 I put this here for my own personal enjoyment of hearing him say “you-you may think”

The thing I love about your videos is you actually cover things very few people know about, instead of just common knowledge people who played for a year or two would know. Keep up the great work!

6:03 They most likely are afraid of those things for quality of life reasons. Players are unaware of their surroundings as soon as they enter and Hoglins hit HARD, so it keeps them away from where the player spawns.

I remember when the loccket plugin on some servers wasn't as developed as it is today and I'd steel every one's stuff by placing a hopper under their chests, I got so much friggin loot this way

The reason number 16 was designed like that is because of the meniscus and surface tension between the water particles and the bottle particles / honey particles and bottle particles. In real life, water will slightly curve up to the edge of the glass, creating the meniscus. Which is due to surface tension. But, honey has stronger particle bonds meaning the honey will bulge upwards, therefore filling more of the glass.

I actually knew number 10 because I was digging through tag files and found that hoglins and piglins were scared of things. I’m fairly sure hoglins are scared of respawn anchors and portals to stop people coming through them being insta-murdered. P.S. I made piglins scared of netherrack for fun

For context Z-Fighting is when two textures are clashing over which one should be shown, since they're on the same layer An example of this happening is the the top and bottom of Iron Bars when placed

I think the reason behind hoglins being scared of respawn anchors and nether portals is that the top of respawn anchors look like the nether portal and maybe theyre scared of going to the overworld to see the normal passive pig?

The blue wither skull projectiles are called bunker busters and they were introduced to stop people building a wither in a tiny room and cheesing it. They can break most blocks below obsidian hardness if i remember correctly.

Witches dropping sticks: isn’t that just a reference to a wand?

Minecraft needs a detective like him to find hidden things that you did'nt knew

I actually knew all of these. Also the reason why hoglins are scared of respawn anchors and nether portals is because mojang doesn’t want players to get spawnkilled by them Or killed as soon as they enter the portal

I thought that the ‘wanderer’ painting was a secret Rick roll.

finally... first person to show me secrets that i actually didn't know and they are pretty epic ngl

I think the reason poglins are scared of portals (and spawn beacons) is that they're the only mob that can practically camp a portal, piglins can be avoided with gold armor, endermen are neutral mobs, ghasts and skeletons are ranged enemies with a delay to them anyway and of course, brutes, wither skeletons and blazes are structure specific spawns so you'd have to be VERY unlucky to get spawn camped by one

I might be late but congrats on 1 mill you deserve it. Luv ya content 💕

6:16 I’m going to assume this is to prevent spawn killing due to how powerful hoglins can be

I think the hoglins were intentionally made afraid of respawn anchors and nether portals to prevent spawn killing, since they are very powerful mobs and would surely kill right away if a player went through a nether portal or respawn a respawn anchor.

I think the yellow beacon end crystal represents a nether star used to craft it as the inventory icons used look very similar in shape.

"number 28, the the warped forest is the only biome in the entire game thats meant to have no music" the voice crack of wifies 2021

I wish they keep the end crystal beacon! And,”Z Fighting” is textures overlapping.

The reason why the rails are floating above the block is to prevent Z-fighting. I know this one because I tried to make some custom blocks for a mod recently, and found that whenever you place a block on top of another block, two of the faces are in the exact same position.

14:41 nice little secrect there in the captions :)

Me when he posts: I stumbled out of bed and stumbled to the kitchen, made myself a cup of ambition *Ready to go back to bed to watch it* *All in 0,692 seconds*

6:15 What if hoglins are mutated overworld pigs who made their way to the nether through a portal and avoid the portals because they don't want to mutate again? But hey, that's just a theory. A MINECRAFT theory!

14:06 the reason the rails float is so it doesnt collide and glitch the image of the rail edit: also bc it was made by a thin block

I think the reason Hoglins are afraid of nether portals is because they turn into zombified hoglins by going through one. This is the only way to get the achievement for killing every single mob, as zombified hoglins exist nowhere else. Maybe they are scared of death. As for the Ender Dragon being immune to the Wither effect.. It's immune to all potion effects. This was a small detail from one of the minecraft handbooks back in the day, which also mentioned it's immune to lava, fire, water, and enchantments. Although that probably just means enchantments like fire aspect and flame on bows not being able to set it on fire. Edit: Rails likely float so that their textures do not overlap with the block they are placed on. Ladders probably do the same but I am too lazy to check. Yet Another Edit: There is one more exception to the crafting recipe rule. A Boat recipe can be unlocked simply by entering water. You do not need any items.

I honestly didn't know most of these. I'm kinda happy that you get elytra from the end ships instead of beacons though, you can get beacons before even beating the dragon and elytra feel way more like a reward.

The hoglins are likely scared of the portal and respawn anchor to prevent "spawn camping" in a way.

2:30 I knew that like years ago and the awesome intro? There's a version (sorry can't remember it) with an intro looking like drawn by a 5 years old with the awesome intro audio

Hi Wifies! I know 19 of these facts. But all of those are very forgotten, unknown facts, so good job! Bye!

Fun Fact: The ender dragon can not be renamed or spectated because internally Minecraft treats the dragon as 9 entities rather than 1, unlike all other mobs. Though It might be 8. edit: spelling/grammar

Can we acknowledge the subtle, yet beautifully implemented bamboo joke? I honestly don’t know why, but my respect for you, Wifies, has multiplied by 5.

7:56 redstone is actual alternative to neuron system for every mob and plant in minecraft. You can find redstone underground because there were minechafts, they collapsed, pigmen were suffocated and redstone is only thing in their bodies which has immunity to decay. Yeah, Steve is actual machine as well as anything else

I knew about the bedrock and beacon thing I also knew about the lightning mechanics (all of them) and the rails not being connected to the ground

BRO! THIS WAS TGE FIRST ACTUALLY GOOD “You didn’t know this about Minecraft” I’ve seen in FOREVER!!! Out of this, I only knew 8 or 9 facts!! Usually when I watch these types of videos, these facts are all over the internet and I’ve heard it all before. That’s why I love your channel!! Your so creative and are actually good at finding obscure facts about the game and cool trivia and stuff!!

That nerd creeper was gonna be everyone's feared mob if it wasn't removed

The rails float above the ground to make an illusion like they were a block, because they're just a 2D texture they need to be a bit higher to look like it.

Fun fact: The glass particles after you break it is similar to the particles from bookshelves interacting with the enchanting table.

5:30 small correction : looting will only work in your main hand, as such, you need to have your bow in your off-hand or switch to the sword after shooting

Finally, stuff I didn't know, I love these. Cool fact for your next one I discovered a few weeks ago: you can lava-log end crystals (since they aren't blocks).

i think the honey one is actually to make it stick out, and not be confused with something else, or maybe because it was easier for the devs or something, and the nether pig one was maybe for spawn protection? im guessing it either got scrapped after coding it,, and they decided to keep it, or there was a problem doing it with the pigmen, because they can spawnkill you

6:10 i think its a feature to prevent instant death after you respown/go in the nether, imagine going in and getting insta killed by a waiting hoglin

15:21 *One* exception? I THINK NOT! You can unlock the boat recipe by swimming regardless of if you have wood, in some if you spawn in water, it's the first recipe you get.

The Vid Should Of Been Called Half A Stack Of Minecrafts Secrets

15:26 what about grind stones? even when i have the stuff to make it it still doesn't show me how to make it and i always forget so i have to look it up every time.

I knew 12 things in this vid btw. Also wifies luv ur vids!

14:05 no one knows? Actually, like the torso offset addition, the rail is not actually on the block to prevent z-fighting because it is 1 pixel in might

You know how the more you stay in an area the more the local difficulty rises? Since the spawn chunks are always loaded in, does this mean those chunks are always gaining more local difficulty?

12:20 you were also able to use fire aspect book to get cooked meat from killing animals with it

I got 9 out of 32 thanks for the video I really enjoyed it.

11:22 this is somewhat misleading. At any time in a Minecraft world, there is a small chance that a skeleton horse will spawn randomly. When these skeleton horses are approached (in any kind of weather) they spawn several more horses along with skeletons to ride them. This effect is completely different from the interaction with pigs or villagers. Spawning a horse and striking it with lightning will not result in skeletal riders. The odds of these skeletal horses spawning are increased depending on the difficulty of the world and the additive difficulty increase based on how much time players have spent in a particular area.

The Ender Dragon is immune to all status effects, as is the Wither. In fact, any boss mob is.

Once, I got literally every enchantment (except anvil-only ones) on my fishing rod from enchanting table... still feeling lucky, eh?

I knew 12/32! Thx for telling me about it....

Wifies’ videos are the kind of videos I skip when eating lunch to watch later because they are so good they need my full attention

I'm pretty sure hoglins were made afraid of nether portals, to make sure that you wouldn't get immediately game ended the second you entered the nether for the first time.

I think Hoglins are afraid of respawn anchor and nether portal so when a player enters nether or respawns near respawn anchor it won't instantly kill player
