50 Useless Facts About Create 

You can also shoot Blaze Cakes out of a Potato Cannon! It does the most damage out of all of them (15 on an unenchanted cannon) and sets mobs on fire.

The first one is also realistic. As the color blue is hotter than orange or red.

Super slow rotation can be funny on a multiplayer server. Do stuff like making a tree that rotates incredibly slowly, or other various landmarks/things around someone's house. My favourite thing is rotating forests, although that takes a load of bearings and its a nightmare to glue.

fun fact. a 5x5 wool windmill is about as much stress as two large water wheels. so a 5x5x5 cube of wool on a windmill bearing will give you that sweet 8000 stress

I'd like like to think that putting the goggles on the mechanical arm is a reference to the scene in, i think, Iron Man 2, where Tony is yelling at a mechanical arm that has goggles on. I could be completely wrong, but it's fun to think about!

True Fact #50 "Mechanical Arms or mechanical presses, mixers, etc. don't care if a depot is the same depot, just as long as one is in the same location" Meaning, you could glue depots on a mechanical barring. Rotating periodically stopping to give the machines time to interact with the depots. Basically an alternative way to automate recipe sequences. "It spins them right around baby right round..."

Funnily enough, if you gear down rotation to where it is below 0.5, A grinding wheel pair will process items INSTANTLY, as long as you only insert 1 item at a time.

Sweet berries actually turn the potato cannon into a shotgun, mixed with flame this is very powerful, because sweet berries are dirt cheap

I think the Honey and Chocolate pushing you faster makes some sense. Its a thicker liquid flowing at the same rate as water, isn't it?

I can think of a use for all of these. YOU WILL NEVER KEEP ME OPRESSED

Blaze Burners burn blue when super heated because, barring use of certain minerals in the flame, Blue fires burn hotter, this is because the fuel for these flames is typically FULLY combusted in the process, that causes them to release more energy. Depending on the minerals used, you can also get various colors of flames at the normal red flame temperature.

Encasing a chute is more useful than you'd think because it makes the input hitbox bigger, so if you're making a tango cobble farm for example, encasing the chutes will stop the blocks falling between them.

Honestly the mechanical contraption glitch is a pretty common bug I have been getting recently, its completely visual and can be fixed by reloading all chunks (F3+A)

That infinite slow down does have a "practical" use case. When I first discovered create I saw the potential for building spheres in minecraft, but I noticed that any sphere building machine with a sufficiently large radius wouldn't work perfectly. The arm would move fast enough to skip blocks even at 1 rpm but if you slow it down even further, even though the full rotation would be abysmally slow, the outer reach of the arm would still be moving quite fast

actually, the blaze burner turning blue is a refferance to the hottest blue and purple flame of a gas torch

5:20 I have seen that many times on a server, happens all the time, f3+a to reload chunks fixes it, its purely visual and can technically happen with any contraption, but for some reason minecarts specifically really love doing that. Also beetroot does pitiful damage but their firing speed alone makes them HORRIFYING with enchanted cannons, dual wield that and you become the heavy from tf2

Zedaph used the symmetry tool to create a really large space for "unlimited" lava! :-) (10k lava is a lot smaller than you'd think!)

For tip 10 spin from the slow side a hand crank and let's see how fast the large cogwheel will go

I have more of a tipp for create trains, when you have a mob controlling a train and you put a train controller on both sides of it your train tracks don't need to be a loop but they can go forward and back (nice if you only have one train on a track and don't want to make a loop)

The basin being able to dump its cargo actually sounds really useful.

Congrats on the 15k subscribers you got! I was watching your videos when I noticed that you had 15k and before it was 14.9k. :)

Congrats on 15k!!

Thank you sooo much for these "useless" facts some are actually useless but like changing the wood color of the water wheel is nice for building aesthetics

1: being able to climb a rope allows you to create a rudimentary mineshaft by attaching a wind turbine/water wheel to a pulley that lowers a drill into the ground. You can sit on the drill as it goes down, and bail into any interesting cave/straight up out of danger. Also allows access to "service" areas of rope pulley lifts without needing a whole floor there (ik elevator pulleys kinda make those redundant, but eh.

That last fact seems like the most useful fact of all.

For number 19 chunk reloading (f3+a) usually fixes visual bugs like this

I absolutely love the goggles Easter egg and the mechanical arm jukebox one.

When carrots are fired from potato cannons, they actually fly a liitle further then other vegetables

awesome content as always, definitely deserve more subs. :)

Yo man you reached 15k! Congrats you did it just in time

5:19 you can press f3+a to reload and itll fix this bug im pretty sure

The clock one actually makes me feel like you could make one of those over-the-top villain traps where the clock reaching a certain point cuts a bamboo or rope and causes a Rube Goldberg of different things around the room eventually killing the target, and you could have somebody trapped there and say some cheesy one-liner and leave the room with them complete unsupervised for some reason and then they to try to escape at the last second

I use slow fans to bulk process many stacks of items on a single block. By the time they fall off into a container below, they're done.

I pretty regularly use the wand of reflecting in creative mode. Just wish it had an even setting. Also, i used to use 2 minecart contraption to mimic trains before thet came out. Tricky to make and use, but so long as your careful about turns they worked great. Trains are still so much better tho

I did not know you could put goggles on things. This makes me happy.

I think the random function could be for something like a tree farm where it spits out the logs for you to use on one side while the rest could go into feeding a blaze burner or smelting into charcoal on a smelting track.

Those contraptions become laggy if they're far from player (probably in unloaded chunks). So F3+A helps with that situation

I use the cauldron tipping mechanic for clog-prone contraptions, alongside an out-pump for when I need to flush the machine

The Infinitely slow rpm is good for transporting Immense amounts of stress units. As each halfing of speed, dubbles the stress units in the system. Sure a fast high stress unit system is ideal. But when time isnt an issue, a slow system might just do the trick.

the redstone signal from heating blazeburner once helped me, then i did steam engine on lava. My hand feeded blazeburner with lava and then blaze were already heated, it just pured out lava and that wasnt nice. So, cause redstone signal also stops the hand, then blazeburner was heated hand stopped

number 5 can be used to keep a blaze burner on blue using cakes without wasting any. have a comparator being powered from the side with a signal of 3, which itself is powering the mechanical arm that feeds cakes to the burner. it will only grab a new one when it stops being blue. you can do the same technique for normal burning too. less fuel wasted! (unless im stupid. this is a possibility)

19 yeah, i’ve expierenced this a lot while trying to make an Ultimate Creat Mod Base, and my guesss is that it happens because too much is happenning around it, causing the visual to bug out. To fix it just re-log the world

Rope pulleys can be used like retractable free-standing ladders for when you're exploring but will want a way back

Number 3 was actually demonstrated in the Create: Above and Beyond trailer. It's pretty useful actually.

Honey pushes you faster because its much more dense, thus making it much harder to resist its flow. A good historical tidbit, there was a humongous molasses spill in boston way back, and it levelled entire blocks because of how much kinetic energy it had.

1] Climbing the rope pulley is pretty nice early game when you want to explore deep underground without having to make a staircase there. Just attach a single drill to it and wait for it to hit bedrock

8:24 This is actually possible, people on the Create subreddit made a self-sufficient deployer/hand crank generator with scalability.

Iirc, When a Blaze Burner is about to go off, it gives off a signal of 1

They only recently added the climbing rope pulley ropes, and it’s very useful

Wait, Create has ACTUAL lore? Amazing

5:20 ive seen that happen with a regular elevator on my server, just reload your chunks and it should be fixed. a rare visual bug with any contraption

An idea for the random setting on brass tunnels: A constant-rate randomizer for minigames Logical guess about honey pushing faster than water: the viscosity of the fluid? Don’t know about that one Lastly, the floating windmill sails would actually look pretty cool for, fittingly enough, a floating contraption a la Howl’s Moving Castle

These may be useless but I still didn't know the majority of them!

Other stuff accessible in Create with commands include: -Crushed raw uranium, quicksilver, silver, etc. -Encased shafts, cogs, and pipes -A mysterious cuckoo clock and more!

The random setting on brass tunnels seems like it'd be useful for redstone RNG

I made an airship using valkyrian skies, it used a rope pully for climbing!

Im def gonna make a clock bearing farm

One more useless tip that requires the thermal mod! You can get chromatic compound by using the recipe for it in an induction smelter! Shadow steel and refined radiance *are* accessible, but only through another mod!

Great video!

The rope pulley being climbable has saved me on multiple occasions. Don't run a rope pulley elevator without a remote, kids!

You can make self turning cranks by putting the deployers on a contraption.

It was so close to your goal, ONE day off. XD

you can have two minecarts on the same contraption, because thats how you used to make trains and trams, using the minecart link the issue with your setup is that its too small for it to turn without breaking so if you dont have the capability nor desire to make a full rail system, you can just use minecarts for trains

4. Wrench in a deployer, is very useful.. Such as for my flying machine, that automattically places shafts, wrenches them into the correct orientation, and the puts belts across them.. Means I can feed items from my farm into my moving train that builds with the items :3 train never stops.

I like how several features are certainly useful you just couldnt think of a use for them. liiiike Brass tunnels having a randomization setting. Not every feature has to be practical for just making farms.

5:15 its caused because of minecraft chunks rendering, just hit f3+t or f3+a (i dont remember exactly which one does that) and it should fix the problem.

You can place the new scaffolding can be placed as far as you want.

6:38 I found this out randomly the other day when trying to build a cobble generator

I have to use the potatoe gun more ofthen

Blaze got hired to be work in a blaze burner

Another note with the cannon is that firing Sweet Berries acts like a shot gun firing multiple projectiles.

0:36 that has been used in the create trailers multiple times.

as for the 19th fact, its a common bug in flywheel, just F3+A to fix it

I would have never Seen this before

3:40 you convinced me, have a sub

The blue blaze burner is just because blue fire is warmer fire. Look at the base of the fire on a gas stove or any very hot flame like a blow torch

cool video, thank you)

Bro...24 fans is possible because of conveyors. Fans can blow through conveyors (I think) and so you can run conveyors in and out of the space in the center (maybe using depots as well)

0:08 YOU CAN WHAT? man i wish I knew this, i used rope pulleys and a bunch of drills to empty a pit so I can fill it with some farms and such, but I didnt have enough drills to clean the pit in one go so I had to repeatedly change the contraptions position. If I knew about this pulley climb thing then doing my thing would've been so much easier so I can quickly go up and move it to the next spot

when using create and the chipped mod together you can click on a waterwheel with a planks from chipped and the waterwheel will take on the texture of the planks

Number 9 is actually very useful in early game, because if you haven’t got depo press still works

Maybe blaze burners become blue because light above 6500 K is blue? You didn't think of that did you?

Actually waterlogging the chute was useful for me on a MC world because it allowed me to make a cobbe generator more compact >:3

Blaze burner emits Redstone strength of one when it's almost out of fuel but still burning.

5:04 Yeah, I’ve seen this before. If you go too far away from a minecart contraption, in some situations, they flip out like this. Makes my farms still function but look ridiculous.

2:14 i wonder if there is a way to abuse floating-point rounding errors to create a perpetual motion machine with that

blaze burners actually burn blue because real oxygen-eating fire turns blue when superheated

Idk about burning blue being a reference, butane will burn blue when it burns hot enough. The eggs are definitely a reference tho

for #19 i made a drill and the looks stayed at where it was but the hit box kept on working/going same with the mechanical drills

I theorize that blaze cakes aren't what supercharges the blaze burners, the blazes just want cake so they reward players for giving it to them.

Did you know that deployers CAN power themselves? Just make a plane of handcranks, connect them with belts and put deployers at the top on a mechanical bearing goeng fast enough to not let any crank stop in time. You could also put the deployers on a minecart contraption that moves

Fun fact, you can use the search bar to fun fact you can use the search bar to get shadow casing if you have so many mods installed that the create just bugs out and doesn’t have all the items

I think the mechanical arm goggles is based off of the mechanial arm "are you a robot" video

ok that Gapple one could be cool if you're in a fight and your friend aerially shoots a Gapple at you via Elytra

everything burns blue when super heated...

I thought it was blue because when flames are hotter, the changes to blue?????

The reason blaze burners burn blue is because blue fire is hotter than orange/yellow/red fire! Just like stars, where yellow or red stars are colder than white and blue stars.

I'm not even a minute in and the first 2 make me so mad. It's a rope, of course you can climb ropes. And the blaze turning blue is not a reference to calcifer, fire is just blue when it's hotter.

you can flint and steel blaze burners to make them on fire and feed them soul sand to make the fire blue this might be what the splash water is for this is unfortunately a useful fact because they function for smoking and haunting in that way

I Can see number 4 used for a weird timed Switch and number 12 for a secret entrance
