Here’s a tip: if you want to enchant something to reset, enchant a book. It may be a useful enchantment later but for the meantime you can save it

U think we dumb
The sneaking on magma thing is probably related to walking on hot coals, in which the easiest way to avoid your feet burning is to walk slowly and evenly. It's a real thing, and ever since I heard about it in school (Mythbusters ofc), I've always assumed that's why magma blocks work the way they do
Exactly thank you
In reality walking on hot coals is mostly about walking for almost half an hour on cold grass so that you don't really feel the heat for a short period of time
That's not at all how it works. Walking more slowly on something hot increases heat transfer, period. Going slower or "more evenly" won't defy physics. Now if you have a lot of dead coals on top, you can fool people, and that's how it's usually done in performances and confidence boosting/hypnosis scams.
Just enchant your boots with frost walking

Hey skip, the magma block “glitch” was in the game since it was added...
Yes, it is an incredibly old "glitch"
I'm pretty sure a loading screen tip actually says that you can do that.
so it’s completely intended
@@demmazda3sportback correct’nt
Yup, I’ve known since it’s a loading screen tip and I actually read those.
Good video. 19 awesome features. And nearly all of them were new for me. This deserves a sub
farming does normally, depending on the crop and region there is a proper way to line them up but its more to do with the sun than a specific line. so long as the crops are properly spaced or if they are compatible and not fighting for nutrients you could plant different ones by each other
I live on 52 acres!
Sneaking on magma is intended because in Minecraft PE sometimes the tip when loading a world says “sneak on magma so you don’t take any damage”
5:12 it's not a bug, it's totally a feature, if you look closely, there are tiny rocks above the magma, so when you crouch you're stepping carefully on those pebbles
I know because in bedrock the loading screen words sometimes say If you sneak or were frost walker you will be safe on magma
Hi
Right?
@@RR-sv1tf dude i was gonna say that haha
This makes a ton of sense actually… My dumb brain never thought of this
The debug stick is super useful! You can make always lit decorative furnaces and redstone lamps; bend stairs, fences, and walls to your will; easily reorient pesky glazed terracotta blocks; and so much more. I've also fallen in love with the new mode switcher-what a time saver!
I wish it was in minecraft bedrock though :(
After a long time I’ve found a Java pocket edition and it’s not in that one either
It is not in bedrock 😢😢😢
there's also f3+n that allows you to change from your gamemode to spectator (before 1.16 it put you in creative and then in spectator no matter which gamemode you was) This only if there were commands enabled otherwise it says: "Can't switch game modes"

Another useful shortcut is Alt + F4. It will pull up the command block menu, even if you're in survival/don't have cheats enabled.
I actually use diorite quite often. I put polished diorite and polished andesite in a checkerboard pattern as floor tiles. I think it looks really good in modern builds
9:56 BREAKING NEWS: Minecraft guy tells us all these commands with F3 but then only tells us we can see them on the Minecraft Wiki even though we can just press F3 + Q and view the F3 commands a whole lot quicker

The magma block thing is actually intended, I think the logic is that you’re stepping more carefully over them
@@gamesofrandom3924 I mean some what, But it's better than stepping on molten stone.
Yea, that's been a feature once magma blocks were introduced. I have no idea how skip didn't know that lol.
It's literally said on the bedrock tips. I'm gonna paraphrase it: "If you want to get over magma blocks safely, *sneak* or use Frost Walker boots." Sincerely, a MC Windows 10 player.
As a Minecraft Veteran, I felt like I invented these myself

He obviously doesn’t know that much about Minecraft. All of the “Sercet” features were sort of common knowledge after playing the game for a while. Also am I the only one who just uses frost walker for walking on magma blocks?
@@cianlinehan8921 likely cuz frost walker is pretty useless half the time
I thought the magma block crouch was a well known feature, my favorite way to explore under the ocean is bringing a magma block with me for the bubbles to give me unlimited time under water
Same, I used to prefer doors but now I play bedrock so that doesnt work, so whenever I'm in a world that I dont have respiration 3 on my helmet or water breathing i use magma blocks.
Huh. I never really tried that. Great tip for underwater exploration!
I recently found that out while making my underwater base but it’s kind of annoying cuz you have to take a bit of damage to get full breathing time
@@draedonsgamerchairgaming977 crouch..
I was using this for underwater exploration also but when I placed the magma block in a 1 block hole with nothing under it I didn't get bubbles. I'm not sure if it had to do with not having a block under it or maybe it needs a water source block above it to make bubbles and since it was a hole I dug there wasnt any source blocks in the hole. Not sure but I was sadge when I died
"Flip your device upside down" *A few minutes later..* Well I guess I'm getting a new computer

I think the sneaking on magma is supposed to represent the movie trope of leaping on the floating rocks in a lava flow.
That flower farm is going to be helpful for me because I use a lot of wool and dye for some builds!
The one where he’s talking about naming the chests is dumb because you will need to look through every chest to the find the chest that you want so using the item frames is still better
@@Yue797 I do it’s better to pout an item frame so you can find the items you want easier
@@Yue797 Because the expensive cost of an anvil is not a hassle right? So much iron wasted for some named chests
@@Yue797 I'd argue that it is significantly easier to cut down a lot of trees (which you'll have to do anyways because chests and barrels are made out of wood) than it is to cut down a lot of trees for chests and barrel AS WELL AS going underground and spending a lot of your iron to name every single one of these chests.
@@Yue797 You also need experience levels to rename the chests
It would be better to rename the chest,you wouldn’t need to do it yet if you don’t have that much loot so by the time you can it’s worth it and you can make a mob farm for the xp so you can have chests and save lots of wood and leather for an enchantment table and bookshelf and a bunch of builds and tools.

For #5 Another chance, just use a grind stone. It's been able to take off enchantments and reroll the table at the same time while also giving you a bit of EXP back. Been that way for a few versions now
About magma blocks: if you shift is like you are walking taking care of going over the rocks painted of the skin, and if you walk as normal you can put your feet on the lava part, so makes sense to take damage if you are not shifting
For the enchanting one I would recommend using books instead of a cheap tool so you can at least still use the book after unless you want to get the exp back.
This!!! If all my enchantments are crap, I just do a level 3 for a book. And actually you are always better off just enchanting books than enchanting just an item itself becuade you have so many more options and you can combine the books

The magma-shift key one is actually a feature. See in bedrock edition (I think) it has like a GUI with tips for playing as you load into the game. For example, one might say “You don’t need a saddle to ride a skeleton horse”. One of them says “Sneak or wear frost-walker boots to walk on magma”
The crouching on magma blocks thing is a feature, it’s basically simulating being careful where you step on the hot rocks
It is because it is in the Before starting
without crouching wear some frost walker boots to do it easier

@@ChaseThePinballWizard ok
The reason the magma block doesn't damage you when you hold shift is because the stepOn method inside Minecraft's code that causes you to light on fire when you step on the magma block (in this case) is only called when you aren't holding shift. Holding shift makes you "undetected" for a lot of things, and the magma block glitch is a byproduct.
