Impossible Minecraft Puzzle (can you build on air) 

Wait for a cosmic particle to hit your pc in such a way that it spawns a block

From my hacking days, I know there's an airplace hack. He didn't say no hacking...

You could shoot a projectile (like a Trident or potion) straight into the air, from really high up in the center of a chunk, and shoot it with an egg on it's way down. Do this until a chicken spawns. Pull it super high into the sky with leads and then pelt it with eggs continuously. Splash them with slow falling maybe. Eventually, assuming the problem of lag is ignored, the chunk the chickens are in will have too much data, and when you relog, the chunk will regenerate. Then you can place a block on one of the generated blocks.

Alternatively, for the first puzzle, you could left click and right click at the same time to place a block where the block was before. It technically isn't on the 6 faces ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also can't you just throw the egg up and hit yourself?

To solve the first riddle you could also just replace the 1 block by left and right clicking a the same time, so you dont place the block on the side

I thought of the egg + lead strategy by myself (you can throw the egg up and walk under it when it falls to crack the egg, you don't need a friend, luckily for me) but couldn't get any further because the boats can't be placed. Cool puzzle!

In snapshot 22w13 (one block at a time) could you throw a block and it lands on your head and it places? You could also try and land a block so it just kind of slides off of the first block and becomes adjacent diagonally to the starting block

For the first riddle, I figured out the turtle egg solution but thought it had to be stone (whoops) so I scraped that idea, and here's my unique solution: Spawn a Snow Golem with a spawn egg on top of the stone (or alternatively make it so that it's a snow biome and wait for it to snow) which creates one snow layer. Then, you need to put another snow on top of that layer and you can place a block on top of the 2 layer snow (1 layer just replaces the snow)

Throw an egg so it breaks on you, lead the chicken, use that as the basis for one of your void platforms… after that, I’m stuck.

Load into the world with a bonus chest. Some versions would generate bonus chests on top of air blocks, although I'm not sure if it would generate at all in a void world.

If you could somehow create a ghost block, it can be turned into a real block. So, if there is a bug/mod in a client, it could affect the server. No idea how to create a mid-air ghost block tho

Here's what I have: Easier version: make the block you spawn on a portal block, enter the nether, and place a block there. Or just spawn with a grass block and bone meal it Harder version: By loading a 1.18.2 world in 1.12, you can add a normally geneated world to the void world and place the block there. Another way I havn't tested yet is to reload the chunk by upgrading an endermen spawn egg from 1.12 to 1.13-pre5. This reloads the chunk according to the minecraft discontuinued features wiki

I can't say for certain that it would work, but I know that in JokeyPokey's one block survival series, he uses a glitch at the end to (spoilers) regenerate an entire chunk by overloading the entity limit (is how I think it works). he used bees, but maybe it's possible to use enough chickens on leads or use some trick with enderpearls and chunk loading to store enough stuff to regenerate the chunk. Or maybe you could do the trick by putting enough text into a book, but that potentially requires a mod to generate the text to put into it, from what I remember of JokeyPokey talking about it, so I don't know if you'd be ok with that solution, but I think this is the only way I can think of that might work

For the second harder one: (I figured this out after wifies showed the nether portal in the alpha version) 1. Load Alpha v1.2.2 and spawn a nether portal (using F4) 2. Go through the nether and update your game 3. Create a new void world and leave it as soon as you load it 4. Open your Minecraft world folder and copy over the world files to the first world (it should be something along those lines) 5. Load the world and go back through the nether portal I haven’t tested it yet so I’m not sure if it would actually work

idea for the first one if you can't choose what the block is: place water on the top and place lava on the side, then they will form obsidian and cobblestone, which you can place blocks on (although this assumes that lava and water are allowed to be placed on the sides, and that the block isn't a sponge)

Another possible solution for the first challenge is to get a wither to kill another mob on top of a grass block, and then it will plant the wither rose on the grass block. This would however require a wither, whoch a spawn egg was added for in 1.19 snapshots, but it was later removed from the creative inventory for being too destructive iirc, so you'd have to do it in a specific snapshot.

If you were to fly over to the world border you could also place entities right? From there you could place a shulker and a block on it (if you even can place blocks on shulkers idk)

You mentioned “ Going into survival mode”, meaning the uses of commands are available, and that opens a whole can of worms.

*Kenadian joined the game*

Is there a way to do it with shulkers? Can you place a block on it?

for the first riddle, if you click really fast with sand you could place another one before it falls. now it would be touching the side of the block, but then again it's also a falling entity, not really a block ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Solution 1) Let us look at the riddle :"You are at the middle of nowhere. How you can place a block without any commands?". So if the person asking is he 1st person(twifies) andthe person he is asking is 2nd person (me) then the third person (probably your friend) can use commands and then I can place the block on that particular block placed by my friend. Now you can't use alt account because technically alt is you so it is 2nd person. There only one thing I can think of to solve this riddle and that is calling your friend. Hence mystery solved. I will try to figure out more technical solutions. Solution 2) You can also use scaffold hack.

A way to place blocks in the middle of the void without it doing anything is just by switching versions, placing a block, and then switching out of that version

For number 1, item frames are entities. So if i place an item frame, then place the block with a shift click, does that count? If not then snow golem. Number 2 would be other blank world. Use setblock there (make it fire for funzies) and copy the overworld file. Unless im overthinking it.

the only solution for the hard version I can think of without version switching and whatnot requires a water block to spawn if you could just get ONE water block, you can use frost walker and make ice. unfortunately that's not possible to my knowledge

I also figured out how to spawn a chicken. But I couldn‘t do anything with it, so I came here to see the brilliant solution… I honestly expected a much different one

There's a version of Minecraft (somewhere in 1.2-1.4 not sure which) where you can place blocks inside your head, I'm not sure how it would work in a void world but it lead to lots of suffocation, and they weren't looking at actual blocks to place them as far as I know

For the first riddle, there’s a solution that can be done with any block. The solution is very simple, if you left click and right click on a block in the air at the same time(in creative), it deletes the old block and placed a new one

For the first riddle, I just put lava on the block, then water so that it would make cobblestone and placed a block on that. Even if you consider a water/lava source to be a block, then I don't see how this is different than the bonemeal as a water bucket is not a water source block.

Firstly, can't you hit yourself with the egg by throwing it straight up? no cheating necessary. chicken is a good start, you can spawn other mobs against it. Don't know where that brings you though, some mob might spawn something good. Since they added snow golem spawn eggs, does the snow then spawn? Dunno, I'd need to check.

For the one block you can put water beside the block as it counts as fluid and not a block and put a Lily pad on the water which does count as a block.

Maybe if Minecraft would have add tuff golem, it could place blocks so we could somehow take that to our advantage!

possible solution to the second puzzle: edit your minecraft world to spawn a bonus chest

Wifies feels like the Kahn Academy of Minecraft

for the one block, you can spawn a snow golem with the spawn egg and that will creat a snow layer that you can place a block on.

For the first one with one block to start with, I thought of placing a shulker and then putting a block on the shucker

There’s a setting where you can get a op tab in the creative menu and maybe use structure void Edit: you could use any block from the op tab or a hot bar saved.

First of all, you can throw an egg on yourself. No cheating - you get chickens. Im not sure, but you can get more chickens by using spawn eggs on them. My second idea - an enderman. If you could place a shulker on your chickens, maybe you could spawn an enderman that will place a block on the shulker. Third - you can technicly swap the overworld file in your world folder. But depends on how you count it you can use the saved hot bar to command items, but i dont see how it is useful...

4:11 or you know just throw the egg up to hit your own head

I reckon you could use an enchanted trident to summon lightning with a chicken and create fire for the first challenge. Also you can spawn endermites using the ender pearls if chickens aren't enough.

You can just land an egg on your own head. You don't need alts.

Fun fact, if you left click and right click at the same time, you can replace a block. This doesn't violate your rules for the first challenge, so I claim a technical victory.

The answer came in today’s April fools update with the addition of the floatator block

I think the last solution works if you are able to somehow downgrade your world or actrually have a void world.

I couldn't come up with anything. The only mobs you can have existent, though, are phantoms, chickens, and endermites by throwing enderpearls at the chickens. You can also have lingering potions existent, but I don't know what to do with them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can you spawn mobs on other mobs? If so, you could potentially spawn a shulker on a chicken

Can you place blocks on the world border? If so, that would technically not be cheating. I would just take a long time to get there.

for the first one use the snowman spawn egg to get snow layer, or put a shulker next to the block and use saved hotbar to get a enderman holding a block and make it stand on the shulker and wait for enderman to place block, or with saved hotbar get a falling-block spawn egg, spawn the entity on the block, and it turns to block. and you can have your friend give you the things to put in your save hotbar so you dont need to type any commands

With a spawner eg you can place more mobs in the chicken (i think, idk if it only works with the same mobtype spawner) and with this you could place a shoulker, i know it doesn't count but at least its a platform. Also in the future if they put more mobs maybe one mob will be able to place blocs

Use the chunk regenerarion glitch by throwing a ton of high data books into the air then save and quiting

You could install the mod extra utilities and use the angel block lol

My solution to the first riddle was placing water on the top and adding a Lilly pad and building of the lily pad

1st riddle: just click both of the buttons on youre mouse when youre looking at the one block

If you can somehow get a water source block, you can place a lily pad on it. The question is how?

FEZ background respect ++

In tweakero mod you can turn on ANGEL BLOCK tweak so you can place blocks in the air. It is client side mod so it can be technically counted. Thats all what I can think of with my tiny brain.

You know what I want? to know where you got your background

Wait until he finds out about the 1.21 new potions...

In the first riddle, if you click both mouse buttons at the same time, it will break the old block and place a new one in the same place

there are some blocks that act as entities like shulker boxes and chests. These are different from blocks, despite looking and functioning like one. so you place a shulker box next to the block, and place another block next to the shulker box, same thing with a chest

I don't know if it counts, but for the first puzzle, I used water and then lava, making then cobblestone and putting the block

if you throw the egg straight up, it could also hit you (an entity with a hitbox)

my solution to the hard problem: take any version, then move back a version to corrupt the world and here you go, you have a normal world generation

Spawn enderman, give him dirt and wait ? I bet its something about throwables making something when it hits your face.

For the first riddle, you could left and right click with a block at the same time (replacing the smooth stone block) and that way get another block

if you are in the end and the end is only void, you can kill the ender dragon and it will spawn an end gateway

I think you can edit nbt data using nbtexplorer or something along those lines to place a block using the world files. Not really legit but it's the only thing I can think of.

To the 1 block solution I just spaned a snow golem.

My idea for the one with a single block is a loophole: Step 1: Spawn a shulker on the block (It's an entity, NOT a block) Step 2: Place a block on the shulker

You can just place a choker and since they doesn't count as a block but empty or mob then you can just place a block on that and then boot police blocks

change the world folder content to make the world have a block somewhere, (If you know what you are doing ofc)

You can go to a different world, make a command book thing with /setblock put it in the bookmark thing and boom.

If you can "bring an alt" cant you bring a shulker or a chest (both being considered entities as the alt) and connect a box with that?

I had an idea if getting a wither to kill the chicken and place a wither rose but it has 2 problems first of all the wither don't place wither roses but drop then and you cant spawn the wither

U can use a hack client in which u can use a bridging hack (where u auto places blocks under u)

I throw chicken eggs in myself, when Spawn a chicken I lead her and place a boat in the chicken

"Hey, we should *evolutionize*"

Easier version; using some online generator get an egg that summons an armourstand thats being ridden by another armourstand that is being ridden by a shulker that is being ridden by another armourstand that is being ridden by a falling block entity that lands on the shulker becoming a block. Harder version; You say no commands, but you dont say no hacked clients, so i get on meteor and use airplace to place a block in the air. Honestly tho, spam chicken eggs up in the sky untill someone hits you, then use the egg from before while looking at the chicken (make sure the egg is a chicken_spawn_egg for it to work)

In Terraria that would be really easy lol.

My thought for the first one eas dependant on the rukes. My idea was to place a grass block, then a sapling, grow it into a tree, the place a block on the tree after breaking the grass block

if I'm not mistaken you can place blocks on shulkers, so for the first riddle you can just spawn a shulker on the block and then place a block on the shulker.

Never said no mods=My experience on anarchy servers

In bedrock the void has a floor and stops entities going further down. you use the chicken to get a floor then?

the friend in the nether solution doesnt work because the nether isnt a void, but you can make the end a void, then kill the ender dragon which will spawn the portal to go back to the overworld

lava on the bottom, water on the top. boom, blocks

Do water and lava count for placing blocks on the first riddle? Bc if not, you generate cobble/obi with them and place a block on that but if lava and water do count then i had nothing

How about generating the world from a version where the bedrock was at y=0, and upgrade it to one at y=-64? Will it generate the deepslate layer?

Welp, time to brainstorm.

for the no block one, isnt is possible to throw the egg on yourself?

For the one block void, use a water bucket on the block since it’s not a block then use a lava bucket on the water

I tried throwing eggs on my head then grabbing them with a lead but couldn’t get passed that lol - I didn’t know if commands counted as part of creative as they’re a specific option in their own right (Allow cheats) also because if they are allowed you could just summon ina. Block which is definitely out of the question, so I didn’t use them but that’s as far as I got

Another solution: have an egg with nbt data that spawns a commandblock in a minecart which will execute a setblock command, technically that one doest make you use commands, just an egg. Also you can make the egg collide yourself by throwing it right ahead of you which will make it land on your head, this way you don't need alt accounts

what about putting water and lava on that one block? and thus making stone?

also u could use an anchor as a block and rightclick spam on it with glowstone

I haven't touched MC in a while, but aren't item frames and armor stands counted as entities? Meaning if the goal was to place a block, you could place either of 2 and place a block next to it? (For the easier version, please disprove me if I am indeed mistaken) For the harder version, I don't think it's possible strictly using the creative inventory. As it is possible like other people have commented to reload past world versions into newer versions or vice versa, and overloading the chunk with entities to make it spawn a block when you reload the chunk

Something could possibly be done relative to chorus fruit or ender pearls. It's fairly certain that one of them (maybe both) have a chance of spawning an endermite. Although, if chickens are useless, endermites probably are too. Just a thought.

Riddle one easy destroy and place at the same time

You might be able to generate a void world in some version, but if you make switch versions to a version that didn't have the void world, and then re-logged, Minecraft won't recognize it might generate a new world.

Challenge one My answer would you have the one block Be nether portal after that, I go through the portal, automatically generating a completed nether portal then place a block

My strategy for the first one was the click both buttons with a block in my hand
