83 Minecraft Things That Don't Make Any Sense

is every Minecraft thing that defies all logic here's why this Anvil will never fall or the sign will never break even if it's not supported by anything so this is the simple little piston Contraption we're able to completely break Minecraft logic now when the sticky piston retracts it doesn't properly update the block that's on top of it or the one you attach to the Piston's arm and the reason for that is because the Piston doesn't actually think it's supposed to work since the obsidian's keepi

ng the slime blocks from being able to move and as such the slide blocks aren't the only one that doesn't move and we can get all of these illegal blocks that you see here giving us one of the simplest ways to do update suppression and one that still works in modern versions might I add we're not allowed to sleep in beds in the nether or the end that's just intentional game design but it's intentional game design that I don't think the villagers were made aware of since if you get a village into

The Nether through whatever torture means necessary and eventually get it next to a bed and sure enough you can get them to sleep in either the other dimensions without the bed ever exploding but you try to kick that same villager out of bed it's gonna end one of two ways and if you get your villager over to the other dimension he knows they're not sleeping keep in mind they'll follow the overall tie time schedule I guess they're just jet lagged or portal lagged I'm just glad it's not actual la

g and while it makes sense to have floating sand and gravel when we're using an actual machine to suppress updates when you say this out and about in the world it makes a little less sense in fact the whole reason that these things give off particles when you're underneath them is because when Mojang was made aware of the bug that made these blocks generate in midair they decided it was just easier to make it a feature and call it a cave-in which I guess is fair I don't like doing extra work eit

her but they didn't add in the particles when snow layers do this either so those make even less sense now it begins a tough block to get not only do you need to kill the Wither but you also need glass and obsidian which are two blocks that you don't want to punch with your fist but when you put them together into a beacon then no matter if you're using a pickaxe or not you're able to break that just the same which always looked so weird to me I would have thought that at least the obsidian woul

d mean that we need a diamond pick but no we're able to break this any which way that we want but for me the way that I want might still be with a pickaxe just looks safer Minecraft has its fair share of hazardous blocks you wouldn't want to stand on something made of magma not much makes sense but then why is the stone cutter safe now if it was the old stone cutter texture I would get it there the saw blades completely enclosed but here it's completely out in the open for everyone to see and wh

ile there do exist some data packs to make this dangerous let's just make it feel like you're hurting yourself for no reason but especially with things like drip Stone spikes getting added into the game I still never understand why Mojang has this block this way building with slavus is a pain not only does it take an extra craft and step to make these but when you accidentally stack up a double slab like this then there's no way to actually break the two slabs individually now you can place them

individually but there's no way to pick and choose which one of these that you want to break and personally that's why I like playing with mods like this so I can pick and choose my battles I'm gonna break the whole thing if I really want to there's so many ways that Mojang can fix this it doesn't make sense that it's still in the game you can't place two block tall flowers than new decorated pots or any flowers inside of them for that matter and while it is possible to put one of the tiny flow

er pots on top of it and have it still look right the truth of the matter is that even though these decorated pots are well pots there's no way to put anything inside of them not water not potions not plants nothing which is just confusing why would you add in these new two block tall plants that you get from the sniffer in the same update but you give them no way to be planted inside of the new pots that came along with it ah I don't know nobody likes it when you're ready for bed and then you'r

e told that you can't sleep and I'm not just talking about the message that you get when there's monsters nearby but specifically this one which is that the game's telling you the bed is too far away now hold on it's close enough to click on I thought I was well within my rights to assume I could sleep here but no I guess this is a special case and considering the fact that no other block in Minecraft shares this Behavior it feels like an unnecessary attempt at realism and then at the same time

effectively breaking the game's own internal logic what does this pattern look like to you well under normal logic it really doesn't look like much you can't even say it's a glass half full it's a pool mostly empty but because of the weird way that Minecraft's water sources work over time this shape is all you need to completely fill up this Basin and that's never made sense to me infinite water in a small pool like this is one thing I get that that doesn't make sense but when you see that stret

ch to the limits here yeah then it's just getting confusing fireflies were supposed to be among craft but art and the reason is that frogs would initially eat these fireflies but when some fans told Mojang that fireflies are actually toxic to frogs in the real world it completely removed the feature which isn't ideal but what do frogs actually eat in the game slime sure but also magma cubes and maybe it's just me but the literal ball of magma seems a lot more dangerous than the fireflies I mean

come on it's not even real fire and not to mention the simple solution of just having the frogs not eat the fireflies and still adding them that was totally on the table but no magma cubes which I guess keeps this fantasy theming that Minecraft has but it might have kept to it a little bit too far cauldrons by themselves already do not make a lot of sense like why are you able to put a full bucket of water in a cauldron and then when you fall in it you still break your legs at the bottom of it b

ut this waterlogged chest completely fine even if it's one pixel of water or the fact that an Enderman could stand in the water inside of a cauldron and not mind it at all even though the smallest raindrop will just make it freak out and teleport away but perhaps the strangest one is that even though we're not able to place water inside of the nether if you place it inside of a piping hot iron cauldron then it doesn't boil away in fact it's the only way to have water in the Nether and at that po

int it just seems like the cauldrons can't decide whether they do or do not want to be actual water in science professional motion machines are just a hypothesis but in Minecraft it's as simple as eight rails placed together like so since by building a square of regular rails like this you place a minecart on top of the slope it'll continue to go around and around the loop never slowing down and to make things funnier you put an entity inside and that just makes the whole thing speed up and spea

king of speeding up I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the king of fast travel in Minecraft the ice bow now ice and boats have never mixed too well in the real world as for Titanic how that went but in Minecraft if you just place down a boat in some of the slippery stuff would start paddling we can get some ridiculously fast speeds especially when we're traveling in the Nether and then to make your ice boat Highway make even less sense and make it cheaper you can carve out holes in the ice like t

his so that you're only using every other block and now I don't know what's harder to follow Minecraft's logic or trying to follow the shot with a camera at its highest level Swift sneak 3 is supposed to help you walk around while sneaking about as fast as you would when you're regular walking and on almost every block in the game that's true except for slime blocks since here for walking we might move to Pace at about 1.3 blocks per second but when we then hold down the sneak key we're moving a

t 2.2 blocks per second now don't get me wrong that's still not fast but it seems odd to speed up the further you're sinking down into the sticky stuff how does this user on Reddit says there's really no reason to delete it even though I don't get it I'm inclined to agree Minecraft has its fair share of bad deals but this one might have to take the cake since if you're using coal to smelt coal or to get more coal you're not only wasting smelting power but you're also wasting a perfectly good coa

l ore and really you should have switched out the silk touch used to mine this for Fortune pickaxe that would have been a much better return on your smelting or if you're sick of this just maybe go into your settings and turn off Friendly Fire cred to the person who already made that joke in the comments made me chuckle this one makes it seem like Minecraft's having an identity crisis at least its code is since while you are supposed to use a sword to break bamboo and cobwebs faster it doesn't m

ake much sense that doing that also uses up double the durability than it would if you just used a regular tool and considering this has been unresolved in the bug tracker since back in July of 2020. I don't think we have any hope of getting this fixed anytime soon anyway so at that point the question's up to you would you rather waste your time or your swords durability I guess when you put it that way it seems obvious so zombies and zombie piglets like to break these turtle eggs that's not the

weird part the weird part is that when they stomp on these eggs the particles that it gives offer from the chicken egg texture not the turtle egg which is a bug for sure but a bug that's also been unresolved and since both the Chicken and the Egg came first motion probably just thought they could use this texture and not have to worry about making a new one for the turtle egg you know I mentioned that it makes sense to take damage from Magna blocks well that's still true but what doesn't make s

ense is that when you sneak down on the magma blocks then you don't take any damage and I've heard a reasoning that when you're holding sneak you're supposed to be walking more carefully on the stones of the magma that's all well and good but what's even more confusing is that when you go underneath a slab like this visually it still looks like you're crouching down but if you're not holding that sneak key the game thinks you're not and he'll just apply damage the same are you familiar with the

law of the conservation of matter I think I am I dropped out of high school but to my understanding you can't create matter where there wasn't already matter already so in that case it scarcely makes sense that when you kill a snowman which would take two snow blocks to make costing eight snowballs they can drop up to 15 snowballs on death giving you three snow blocks it just seems weird though I guess we are able to constantly mine the snow layers that generated their feet for snowballs anyway

so it's logic that might be consistent to the snow golems but not to regular logic of science the way that it's coated leather armor keeps you from freezing powdered snow but that's a broader statement than you might think since really any amount of leather armor is enough to do the job so by just having leather boots you're no longer going to freeze on the entire rest of your body even when fully submerged in the powdered snow at that point it seems like a bit much I get wearing these moccasins

to be able to walk on top of the powdered snow but to keep you completely safe in the Snowy Peaks that might be pushing it especially when moms that drop leather aren't safe by themselves inside of the powdered snout and it just seems like Mojang picking favorites hiding the secret door behind a painting is old news in Minecraft which might mean that you've never taken the time to realize just how weird it is that we're walking through a completely solid painting and coming out the other side a

nd not just painting signs item frames torches all things that are completely solid in real life in Minecraft we can slide through them like we're made of liquid that's funny because even liquid gets stopped by something like a sign making this all even weirder netherride is supposed to be the strongest thing in Minecraft I mean even if you drop the item in lava it'll never Burr so why then is it not giving the same resilience when it goes up against a cactus truly any item that you throw at the

cactus regardless of what it is we'll just break on sight we just made all the Stranger by the fact that if you were to take that block not throw it into the cactus but place it next to it then the cactus just completely falls apart I guess it could dish it out but we just can't take it if you're getting a boat and ride it off a cliff you won't take any fall damage that's not the weird part the weird part is that if you take a boat and ride it off of specifically a 49 block tall fall then you'l

l die of fall damage and the boat breaks too now that'd be okay okay 49 blocks is the limit but the fact that you're able to fall from over 50 blocks tall and still survive then I don't get what's so special about block number 49 or when you fall from a 114 block fall then both you and the boat survive but then when you get out the boat will still break and again that's only block 114. nah who knows now one of the cool features in Minecraft is that if you throw an instant health potion on a zomb

ie it actually hurts them instead of heals them and vice versa for an instant damage potion but following that train of logic wouldn't it make sense of her generation instead worked as poison on Undead mobs and for better or worse this would somewhat make witches into healers when they throw out their poison potions and it would definitely add some stress the next time you see a team Synergy in the dark Minecraft's textures aren't always Pixel Perfect and while 1.17 took big strides to correct s

ome of those this block went unnoticed as you can see the light gray glazed terracotta is not only a mouthful to say but also has a deceptively frustrating texture if you try to line it up you'll notice that the pattern doesn't connect leaving many players frustrated and Confused just tell the slipped by especially when the patterns of the whole point of glazed terracotta in the first place the addition to stripped logs into Minecraft brought a huge shift to building because finally we had somet

hing that resembled the texture of logs while matching the color of the plank textures inside or at least they mostly do since if we were to line them up it's clear to see that dark oak just doesn't fit up with the rest of the pattern which is a shame since a darker shade for the dark goat texture would look quite nice and while there might be points for changing this just for consistency I will admit that Kern's strip dark oak does look quite nice as well every now and then Mojang will add in a

n item but then it just flies into the radar because it doesn't get used and for my money I gotta say that one of those is rabbit stew because after all if you take all the different ingredients that it takes to make a rabbit stew and just eat them separately it will fill up more hunger than the rabbit stew does altogether so either Mojang needs to change it so that these stews have a bit more going for them or they're just gonna stay at the bottom of the eating bin Farmland has some weird restr

ictions that dirt doesn't mainly it's not a full block so we're not able to place decorations on the side this is the reason why torches and ladders don't go on the side of Farmland which is a weird limitation especially for the Torches but I guess it's understandable though while those don't work for some reason signs do and honestly putting a torch on the side of your Farmland seems a lot less crazy to me but if you really want it just type torch on the side of the sign and there that's the cl

osest you're gonna get chainmail armor has always been some illustrious item in Minecraft because you can't craft it but then all of a sudden Mojang goes ahead and adds actual chains into the game but as far as I can see even if you get your hand on a whole bunch of chain links you're not going to be able to stitch them together into a chest plate and for that reason alone chainmail gets to stay as this white whale item that we only really get to use on PVP servers and for those of us who mainly

play in survival I think that's kind of unfortunate look as much as I love and decide diorite and granite they're only really useful for the building part of Minecraft because even though we classify these things as different Stone variants they're not actually able to be used for things like crafting stone tools or you know what's even worse than that we can't craft stone tools out of actual clean stone look Minecraft's got a lot of different stones and I think that's great and I would love a

bit more variety in how I craft merely toolkit planes biomes make for great locations for building just there you get Lush grass flat surfaces and an overall nice atmosphere for your base but there is one problem Point you're sure to notice so your place in the blocks as a foundation for your new house laying them out in a row only to have your flow interrupted by a measly flower since tulips unlike the neighboring grass have their own persistent hitbox meaning we can't just place our blocks as

we please which means most of the time we see these they're just gonna be a roadblock to your building flow Banner patterns can be pretty neat when you put them to use in the loom but as anyone who's ever played around that item knows it could be pretty easy to lose track because for some weird reason even though these are visual items they don't actually have a visual indicator on the Sprite meaning you have to hover over and see that it's a creeper face folks it only takes one look at the diff

erent Banner fix Texture Packs to see how cool this could be if we had a visual indicator so for Mojang to do it I think it's a no-brainer now it's common sense that if you're on fire water is the cure-all solution I mean even cauldron's uphold that fact they aren't exactly for consistency but if we all know that to be true then I ask how in the world does this work as it happens if you're on fire in a boat you're able to submerge yourself in water and still burn the same stranger still is that

you're still able to drown in that very water even if it doesn't put you out and folks that's the definition of a lose-lose situation Anvil should be one of the strongest blocks in the game I mean with a crafting recipe that almost requires a half stack of ingots you definitely hope this investment could hold up but apparently even the smallest flower in the game can still break a block like this as shown you could drop an anvil in just about any decoration Block in the game it'll break upon lan

ding and then just as you start to understand that logic it still manages to break this dead Bush making the whole thing even more ridiculous the clouds are an odd remnant of Minecraft's code I'd even wager that most of us have turned them off by this point since they just tend to get in the way of things but before you turn them off for good maybe check this first you see if we position ourselves right above the cloud coverage during a storm you'll notice how it even rains and snows above these

clouds so if you got yourself an elytra and you want to see it rain above the cumulonimbus it is a cool view albeit completely nonsensical dispensers in Minecraft are able to do a lot of the same capabilities that we can do with a right click and while this means that they can literally place and refill water buckets at their own notice if they're next to a cauldron they're not actually able to fill them honestly I don't know how this hasn't been added in the way it is it just seems like we're

limiting this feature for really no one's benefit it's not game breaking it would just be kind of cool and it could definitely add some fun Machinery to your next potion Farm by having skeletons and zombies burn in the daylight mojing found an ingenious way to encourage players to explore during the day but while that mechanic is a solid piece of game design it does have a few odd quirks as well such as how all of these blocks can't stop a skeleton from burning but the cobweb does now I get it t

hings like a chest are transparent block and they're coated as such but a cobweb that just doesn't make any sense and if you ask me if it lets light get through then it should still apply to the sun rays as well over the course of Minecraft's history it was made so that hay bales could actually dampen your fall damage but that being said Haze and the only soft flock we got in Minecraft which is why it's weird that other blocks such as sponge snow and wool don't dampen your fall damage I mean if

you're giving me the option I'd much rather fall on a block of snow or wool than anything to do with wheat this sound effects for these blocks already sound so much softer than other options I think it's just a natural evolution of the game The Cauldron might be the ugly duckling of the Minecraft world and while we've talked about its many shortcomings before this one recently caught my attention as well even though we can place a whole bucket's worth of water in this thing it still doesn't allo

w for the riptide enchantment on tridents which would be fine if Riptide also didn't work on waterlogged blocks but as you can plainly see even standing on the virtual puddle that we have on top of a waterlogged chest you're able to launch yourself just the same as standing in the ocean now folks It's News to knowing that lava is hot except of course if it's just a few drips of lava because according to Minecraft those are completely fine now I get it these are particle effects they're really no

t meant to do much but based on my limited time spent in school lava hurts and if you get it on you it's gonna do some amount of damage and while this might be more of a pain to add to Minecraft than necessary it would be a good wake-up call on your mind and to be careful where you tread if you got lava trips burning into your scalp Minecraft is famous for some wild and wacky hitboxes and if you don't don't believe me then look no further than the minecart in this scenario the cart cannot go pas

s along this rail while the block is placed like such which seems a bit strict but I guess it makes sense that is until you break that block and place one here instead and then the whole argument's out the window just like platform nine and three quarters this card just magically phases through the wall and that stuff for a muggle like me to wrap my head around anyone who's ever got stuck in a cobweb knows that these things are an absolute pain to go through and not just for us but for most enti

ties in the game except of course projectiles yeah for some reason arrows and such are able to go through these things without fail but I guess if you look at the bright side it doesn't make cave spiders a lot easier to take out with a bow and arrow and for that part I'm thankful even if the logic and reasoning isn't there with the 1.16 update Minecraft of course added in two new log equivalents the crimson and warped stem blocks and sure it makes sense that these wouldn't burn to a flint and st

eel or a furnace but why can they be used as fuel in a campfire as you can see when crafting this item it's possible to use the nether stems of the kindling just like the regular logs even though they don't burn in the regular gameplay but if you're really looking to cook up a stake in the nether I guess this is how you do it so Minecraft has its fair share of prickly blocks now when you're starting out this makes sense but when I got a full case of netherright armor on my body I don't get why I

'm still getting hit by Thorns granted I don't think the barrier here should be just as simple as wearing armor for example if I'm wearing a leather helmet I should still get poked on the rest of my body but if I've got diamonds on my chest legs and boots I don't know why I'm getting hit as much and it would make traveling through these forest biomes a whole lot less of a pain I know we don't like to talk about it but if you actually crunch the numbers Minecraft is ripping you off if you look at

it it takes six planks to craft four stairs even though a stairs three-fourths of a block where the extra parts go I just don't know I guess Steve is a bit of a wasteful person and while again the stone cutter does dampen this blow that's not an option for any wood items and folks there's nothing I like less than getting stolen out of my hard-earned materials Iron Golems can be a decent bit of help if you need it and at the very least the word the graveyard shift at your local Village so just r

ound up the iron set it up like this and the job will be done or maybe not you see if the pumpkin isn't placed last then the Golem will not spawn even when it's in proper formation and In fairness this is likely a holdover from the older versions where you couldn't even place a pumpkin unsupport it so as such the code never accounted for the possibility of course TNT explosions can pack quite the punch that is until you put these underwater and then that demolition dream Fizzles out but apparent

ly since Minecraft turns Prime TNT into an entity instead of a block we're able to put other things like sand into that same hitbox and by doing that the TNT will explode just the same even if it's at the bottom of the ocean it's absolutely a weird feature but if you want to get rid of ocean ruins this lack of logic might be your best solution now if you've ever been outside in a winter wonderland then you definitely know that snow is pretty good at falling from the sky that is unless you put in

a layer in which case I guess it's never gonna fall at all now this is another case where Java Edition is actually different to the Bedrock counterpart you see there snow layers actually do fall when they're affected by gravity and when you see how it works there it makes sense and it would look a whole lot nicer to just floating snow in the sky trust me even though Minecraft is a Sandbox that doesn't stop the game from having unspoken rules and if you ask me some of those are just bizarre take

this ladder for example now if we make a pathland underneath the wall and then place a ladder you can see it works just fine though if we place the ladder above the grass and then try to make it into a path Block it's a no-go and why that order exists I've got no clue but at least now we've got the proper arbitrary way to pull this off fishing in Minecraft has long been overpowered so much so that Mojang decided to Nerf the treasure loot tables back in 1.16 for most of the fish farms however ev

en the Nerf version of fish farming is still pretty overpowered you see if you were to take a random water bucket from anywhere in the world be it a jungle the ocean or even a rain-filled cauldron and then you place that water source wherever you'd like you can still fish infinite Cod and salmon out of that one block I'm not complaining but it is a bit strange the frost Walker enchantment is quite a bit of power and if you got frostwalker 2 on hand then you you can tame some of the biggest ocean

s and put them in your control and while that's all well and good don't expect to show that same kind of dominion on a waterlogged slab because sure enough even though these things have water in them it's in the name you're not able to frost walk them now from a game design point of view I can see why this happens but folks I think it would be pretty cool to see some ice stairs at the very least it's worth playing around with when it comes time to take on the dragon me and my friends like to do

it together as a bit of an event so we go to the end Dimension take down the dragon and then boom whoever lands the last hit is the only person to get the achievement there's other achievements in the game that don't require you to be the sole person to do it but all of a sudden when it comes down to killing the dragon nope it's just whoever got the last hit and really it would be better to see this group effort regarded as such instead of an every player for themselves mentality Steve ability t

o crawl into small spaces is definite Game Changer but with that new foundability Mojang intended for a few different limits like for example how you're not able to move from a one block tall space to a 0.5 block tall space using a slap after all the player isn't exactly a contortionist but if we place snow layers in a stack like such we can just happen to get into space as thin as the slab would allow so if the caves aren't claustrophobic enough for you this might do the trick in Minecraft fire

safety is a pretty simple concept if you got something hot you don't want to put things that are flammable next to it however that's not always the case see with the magma block even though the name might make you think that it is made of lava or rather magma it doesn't ignite any other blocks Around It In fairness I guess it doesn't set you on fire when you stand on top of it but that's weird too who knows maybe the wood blocks around it are just holding shifts so they don't take damage anyway

so you go over to craft yourself a new set of iron tools but in your hubris you accidentally make a second pickaxe so you put it in the furnace except regardless of the state of the pickaxe is in you'll all always get one nugget back in return that seems pretty cheap and instead it might make sense that the amount of nuggets that you get from smelting an item is based off the item's quality because you can't tell me that all of that iron just melts down into one single nugget it's just not poss

ible the Ender Dragon is a destructive boss truly unless the block is native to the end the odds are that it's getting destroyed and while it makes sense that the dragon could break down your Cobblestone Tower wire ender chests on that list after all they're made of obsidian so the logic would figure these are pretty safe but as you can see when we put these next to the dragon that's just not true but hey at least if she breaks this chest your items still well and good up in the cloud loyalty is

a concept is a really cool enchantment for a trident but I guess it turns out the Trident is only so loyal because as you can see when you throw it in the end void Mountain things never coming back you lost it now look I get why I'm not able to come back from the end void but a magically Enchanted Trident I'd at least expect it to put up a fight but as it stands this just makes tridents a whole lot less worthwhile when you're going around the end islands and for that point I'd rather just leave

it in my Overworld one of the best parts of the caves and cliffs updates first half is the addition of axolotls I mean they're certainly the cutest feature that's no contest but with these water wolves have in the ocean they don't exactly match on land and you'll see as much if you beach one they move pretty slow that is until you tie one to Elite and then it'll move surprisingly fast fast beats why this happens I've got no clue it is pretty hilarious so I'm fine with it not making sense as tim

e has gone on Nether Bricks have gotten more and more variations to play around with which is good it helps break up the monotony but while that makes sense I can't for the life of me find out where I cracked nether brick doesn't actually appear in another Fortress I mean these places much like strongholds are pretty run down engaging by the fact that we have to smelt Nether Bricks to actually make these clearly heat is the defining feature and there's nowhere you're gonna find more heat than in

the nether composters in and of themselves are kind of a rip-off I mean to put in all this play material and just get one bone meal it seems like a raw deal but while that's a different discussion for another day what's actually weirder is that you can't compost bamboo now folks in real life bamboo can absolutely be composted it's a natural fiber but here no chance it's just Panda food so if you want to make your bamboo Farm into something to get you bone meal you're out of luck Wade in Minecra

ft is a funny thing obviously it takes some serious muscles for Steve and Alex to carry around Stacks and stacks of raw materials but what's even weirder is comparing the strength of Minecraft's other inhabitants take the drip leaf plant for example while it will bend in a few seconds to an item as light as a feather a literal Anvil can hold on top of it with no problem and then weirder still is that if we stand on top of that Anvil it doesn't Bend but just us by ourselves yeah you get the pictu

re anyone who's ever had to mess around with a bunch of different dyed blocks knows the pain of this one because as much as we'd want to we're not able to actually re-dye different diet blocks but way too many times where I've gone over to a crafting table wanted to take my old dyed blocks and turn them into something I could actually use but no I'm not able to do that and as someone who likes to mess around with a bunch of color in my bases I would definitely love to see this get changed around

in a future update when you're traveling nothing breaks your stride quite like water sure if you have a boat you're just fine but on your own we tend to move a lot slower through the Water Source blocks then if that's the case why is it that when you water log a ladder it becomes faster than a regular ladder no joke the game somehow combines the water swim speed with the climbing speed B to the ladder and makes the operation all the quicker and while the science would likely disagree I'll take

any excuse to get the sky limit faster every now and then Society likes to debate back and forth on certain topics whether that's the color of this dress whether it says yanny or Laurel or of course what came first the chicken or the egg and now I think that Minecraft might have one of its own given the two truths that gravel Falls when it's unsupported and a lantern cannot be placed without a roof of support then answer me this as the gravel hold up the lantern or the lantern hold up the gravel

really I've got no clue either way a long-standing tradition of Minecraft is can actually craft nine of a different material into a bigger block and for that reason it's always a surprise to me that we can't do that with a netherwort block Lord knows that I can take nine of these and actually craft them into another block so why can't I undo the process way too many times putting Another War Block in a crafting table and getting surprises to why I don't get my netherwart back and I've got a fee

ling I'm not the only one who does that while Minecraft clearly isn't going for realism with its Graphics there is one tidbit that cracks me up whenever I I see it and no it's not just that Minecraft square and rectangular mobs cast around Shadows though yes that's weird too but as people have pointed out these Shadows can even be cast through solid rock slabs and perhaps the cherry on top it's possible to have those Shadows appear on top of light sources like lava and folks while that is a laun

dry list of weird things I guess they do give Minecraft its visual charm after using all of your sponge to dry out the area for a guardian Farm now you know that you gotta dry out the things and for that you got a couple of different options you can put them in a furnace or warm places like the Nether and while that all makes sense I don't quite get why it's the case that if I put a fire right next to a sponge it's not gonna dry out look these things are hot enough to light me on fire and you're

telling me they can't do the same to Patrick's best friend that just doesn't make sense everyone who's ever played on an SMP knows that one person who never wants to sleep and the problem with that is that Phantoms will spawn and they won't respond to go after the person with insomnia but rather everyone on the server at night is gonna get hit by these mobs that is a real pain in the brain and definitely isn't fair and it makes how annoying Phantoms are to deal with 10 times worse which to be h

onest is the last thing the Phantoms need in the game now waterlogged stairs are surprisingly helpful addition to Minecraft because as you'd expect the stair allows water to pour out one way yet the next step will prevent water from leaking out the back though if that's the case and this cobblestone generator doesn't make much sense since flowing water is required to make cobblestone post-generation then how does the Cobblestone form at the back when it should be sealed by this step but go figur

e it still converts the lava just the same turtle eggs are perhaps the most fragile thing in Minecraft truly just about anything can trample these whether that's us baby zombies or even bees yeah that's right bees now I get that these bees are pretty chubby by most standards but I thought their wings would make them a little lighter on their feet but apparently according to Mojang mixing your honey and skewed Farms together isn't going to happen anytime soon which when you say that out loud that

part makes sense Minecraft has been around for a while so as that goes many features have been added in and then just sort of Forgotten and she even among those has to be the furnace Minecart trains as you can see they can't go around corners they can't go up or down or even change directions without disconnecting honestly I'm amazed to still win the game while I doubt that Mojang will ever take a look back into the old piece of code this is lining so that happens I guess we'll just have to kee

p up the hype Train Blast resistance is a funny thing and for an example let's compare an iron block and iron chain now clearly both are made of iron but the block costs over seven times the iron ingots though we need to make a chain link which might have you to believe that the block should be stronger than the chain but as you can see that just doesn't so with both having a blast resistance of six so if you're looking for a solid Iron Wall around your base maybe opt for the chain link fence in

stead now one of the many different features for a dispenser is that it's able to place pumpkins granted the intended use here is that it's supposed to make a snow golem but using a trick like this we can just have it straight up place the pumpkin which is cool but it begs the question why can't it place other blocks something makes me feel like the dispenser is being held back by Mojang so for the time being I guess I'll just have to live with pumpkins getting placed automatically oh and shulke

r boxes those work too insta mining is one of the simple joys of Minecraft which is why it can be frustrating when something breaks your stride and while plenty of things can do that nothing bugs me more than cobblestone as it is Cobblestone takes longer to break than normal Stone and maybe it's just me but it seems odd that a block that's clearly already broken and smashed up takes longer to break than a solid like regular Stone unless Steve adds some concrete or Pace to Cobblestone after minin

g it I think it just doesn't make sense gold tools might get the least amount of play time in a Minecraft world after all without a gold Farm these things are pretty expensive to craft and when you do you barely get any durability anyway but this might be its single biggest embarrassment as you can see every tool in Minecraft can break its respective material wood breaks wood iron breaks iron now the right breaks netherright except for the gold one and folks you know it's bad when even the gold

ore is unimpressed with Gold's performance when the 1.14 update rolled around Mojang added in a chunk of different workstations but now there were a few updates past that it turns out out the Fletching table is still the only table that doesn't have a purpose I mean you can use them to employ the villagers so I guess they can use it but we can't I don't know why we don't make the new potion variants of arrows in this actual block and that seems like a weird missed opportunity at least until Moja

ng or the community can figure out what the heck this is supposed to do trap doors and ladders go hand in hand so much so that whenever you put a ladder in your basement it's almost a guarantee that you have a trap door on the next floor to seal it off though strangely enough they might have more in common than you think see because we're able to climb a trapdoor like so when it's above a ladder that means if you make a pattern like this you're fully capable to climb up multiple trap doors in a

row but obviously you can't climb iron trap doors by themselves so the whole thing gets confusing it's no secret that Steve can work up quite the appetite but our empty hunger bar only tells a fraction of that story because given the chance to eat a super stew and the player not only slurfs it down but physically takes chunks out of the wooden Bowl which I'll admit would be funny if that was the last we saw the bull but since we get it back I think the chewing particles are a bit of an oversight

site and maybe it's worth giving Steve a bit more manners in the future breeding animals in Minecraft is a fairly simple concept and thankfully so but the strangest bit about the parrots and the bats in the game might just be how fluid the mechanic is as it's laid out even if you have a wall separating the two mobs you can still feed both of them and cause a baby to be born and while I've got no interest in diving into the many questions that raises I guess it does prove the old adage true huh

true love truly knows no bounds with another update in 1.16 we got something of a counterpart to Cobblestone here we could use Blackstone as a substitute for crafting stone tools furnaces and even Brewing stands which is nice but it's not a complete replacement for some reason unlike Cobblestone Blackstone can't be used to craft Pistons or certain pieces of redstone equipment which I get at the nether isn't exactly the place to do redstone Machinery but I also don't get only doing half the assig

nment so why not give Blackstone the proper welcome to the craft inside fences are a staple in a Minecraft build so we're all pretty familiar with their limitations that said it makes sense that not us nor any other mob can jump over the fence block I mean it would make a pretty lousy wall if it could but while you can't jump over a fence or a wall by itself if you had a carpet on top making the whole thing taller then you can clear the jump don't get me wrong I like using these wall and carpet

combos in my builds but do I understand them not so much Minecraft bricks have been around for a long time and with that story history dating back to the early versions of java Edition classic the texture has changed a bunch and while it's clear to see that it's done a lot of growing up the texture still has one issue to see that is if you look at the bottom of the block you'll notice that some of the bricks don't line up rather since the texture is repeated there's not a logical consistency of

the brick placement which is a small complaint for sure but mildly infuriating nonetheless and with that folks YouTube thinks that you might like this video so see if they're right and have a good one alright
