0:00 how do you turn a fox into your personal chef what secret lies at the bottom of Trail ruins why is it possible to use a feather as a hat I'm about to show you some interesting things about Minecraft but and it's a big butt I've hidden three fake facts into the mix it's your job to guess which and there's a hint at the end you could turn a fox into a chef foxes will pick up items in their mouth that thing right there but did you know that you can actually use that item in some cases by giving it a sword with the fire aspect enchantment it will actually cook your chickens for you H delicious oh by the way have you seen the monstrosity that was the early version of the fox when foxes were being added into Minecraft a glitch occurred and they looked like boxes I know it's Minecraft but this was a little too boxy the developers felt the same way that's why the fox looks like a fox today some

0:44 armor trims actually make your armor better which and how adding a heart of the sea to your tide armor trim gives you a water breathing Buff when the armor is worn this is the only armor trim that actually improves your armor and it can sit on top of any enchantments that you might have on your armor already you can find the heart of the Sea by using a treasure map to hunt down buried treasure the effect is the exact same one you get when you equip a turtle shell you can wear a feather as a helmet this isn't a survival thing sadly but if you're up for a little bit of command trickery you can actually put a feather in your helmet slot what's cool about this is that the game actually treats this feather in a really special way it's rotated so it stands upright and it's moved back behind the player's head this way it looks like you've attached the feather in a cool traditional way oh man if only we could

1:23 color the feathers and then equip them in survival come on Mojang please fix this one Cherry leaves count as flowers and what is that supposed to mean well thanks for asking it means that bees will actually use the Cherry leaves blocks as any other flower it can be used to pollinate crops and so on oh and uh fun fact during early development of the Cherry Grove biome the developers used the pigs texture as a placeholder for the leaves oh man to imagine that must have looked way better than what we had now absolutely magnificent cake and note blocks can play a special birthday tune now wouldn't that be a neat way to celebrate a birthday in Minecraft piglin heads make the note block oink creeper heads make it hiss but how about cake wow would you look at that it's playing happy birthday this was added in 2019 as part of Minecraft's 10-year birthday this feature might have actually inspired the addition of mob

2:15 sounds from note blocks that were added a few years later there are 194,195 have you seen all the different patterns they're beautifully designed much better than the developer preview we saw way back before the 1.20 update each of them also have names which actually might give us some new insights into the lore of the game we have the brick decorated pot angler Archer arms up blade Brewer burn danger Explorer friend heart heartbreak howl Miner mourner plenty prize sheath shelter skull and snort I found it a little interesting that the one depicting a warden is called the mner pattern in case you don't know a mourner is someone who feels sorrow usually for the death of someone else does that mean the warden is just sad it usually feels a bit more mad than sad to me guests can ride Minecarts okay pause for a moment and picture that a gigantic levitating eight-legged ghost crammed into a tiny

3:23 mine cart but hey Minecraft physics is a bit uh unique let's try it there you go oh it looks as ridiculous as it sounds and probably also as close to useless as it sounds hoglins both love and hate mushrooms which sounds weird right I mean last I checked these weird looking pigs dying on weird looking mushrooms it's like me being scared of unsubscribed viewers so let's see if we can spook them as you can see these Hogs are very picky with their mushroom they are straight up scared of warped fungi but look what happens when you give one a crimson mushroom that guy loves it bamboo can be used as fuel in a furnace it grows incredibly quickly so it would be a great source of fuel if this is true Let's test it out it works however it also Burns extremely quickly meaning you need a lot of bamboo to smelt your items in fact to smelt a single item you're going to need four pieces of bamboo bamboo farming is definitely

4:30 needed for it to be a viable long-term option but it's good to know it's there if you're in a pinch camels can walk over fences now fences are there to keep animals in right I mean horses mules cows they all stay put so why would a camel be any different camels actually have such incredibly long beautiful legs that walking over 1.5 block tall structures is no problem at all Yahoo Trail ruins contain remnants of Wither summon stat statues Trail ruins are the buried archaeological structures that you can find in heavily forested biomes getting in can be quite dangerous though it looks like the devs just kind of used every block they had in here with blocks scattered everywhere according to the Minecraft Wikipedia it's meant to look like Old Village ruins from an ancient civilization but it just kind of looks like a builder inter turn at mang accidentally trip fell and it landed on the keyboard and

5:25 then they just shipped it in the game The Ruins contain lots of suspicious gravel ins but do they contain a lesser known secret hidden door down there that is a lot more suspicious it does and it's usually one you'll find at the very bottom of the ruins destroying a bell will make the village leader Furious as you might know the Bell can be rung to make all the villagers in a town return to their homes even when there's no raid happening but did you know that the Bell was actually created to be at the center of the village when you place a Bell near a claimed bed it'll be claimed by villager and become part of the village if you then destroy the Bell The Village leader will actually get angry with you as you can see you can repair Iron Golems this one might not be news to a lot of you but I see a lot of players that actually aren't aware of this so I decided to include it let's give this

6:16 fellow a few scratches and let's do it in the satisfying way okay maybe a little less satisfying okay here we go and voila the Iron Golem is one of the few mobs that actually show its Health visually so it's very clear that it's being healed up Mojang uses child labor as part of development you know the hanging signs we got in the 1.20 update have you used them yeah you're actively supporting child labor in Sweden you should take a long hard look in the mirror the first concept sketches of the hanging sign was actually drawn by Agnes Larson's daughter you can see the drawing here absolutely disgusting practice if you ask me they should all be in jail all jokes aside I really do love the hanging sign did you know that the chains change shape depending on where you hang it from hanging it from another chain block looks different than hanging it on a solid block for example goats can drop horns when they charge

7:21 into trees you might have known this one already but there are some details here you might not all right let's give it a shot let's try that again okay here it comes and Wham it's actually only certain blocks that make the horn snap off though these include stone coal ore copper ore iron ore emerald ore logs and packed ice did you find the three faked facts here's a hint in the filming of each faked fact we hit a string item somewhere in the
