In this Mumbo Jumbo Minecraft video, Mumbo looks at 68 Minecraft blocks that have secret Minecraft features. These could be useful redstone applications, game changing mechanics, or be helpful for industrial minecraft farming. Some of this covers technical minecraft, Minecraft survival and Minecraft general knowledge/Minecraft trivia.

I love how quickly this changed from “obscure block behavior” to “advanced redstone tools”

"It's really quite simple"
I know what I'm doing when I make redstone contraptions, but I didn't know about leaf wires or instant redstone.
@@adaliawright6891 it is really quite simple
There's a significant overlap between the two. If a block has some sort of useful behavior, chances are it will be used in redstone.
He has to keep the number of items appropriate too gotta love mumbo
lmao
@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok cool
@Don't Read My Profile Picture okay thanks we won’t
@@cosmicitu I agree
@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok I won’t 😃
This isn’t a block but instead a mob, but I still wanted to mention it. Bats were added to Minecraft as a way to make strip mining easier: if you hear a bat, you know there is a cave nearby. They basically used an animal that has supersonic hearing and made it super useful if you can hear it, which I find very cool.
that's extremely obscure fact
The bat... the bat is USEFULL????? (I mean, i do start mining in the direction of their squeaks, but it never crossed my mind that THAT WAS THEIR ENTIRE PURPOSE)
@@camilorodriguez5602 doesn't usually work for me. Usually it's hostile mob growns although I'm glad someone finds it's to work for them
Bats are actually OP if you suck at the game like I do. The erratic flying patterns for some reason almost always put them in front of skeleton arrows, making them an extra shield while you run for your life lol.
maybe use an actual shield instead of just running away@@2008bunnydemibigenderflux
If you wanted to add one more, you could have added Coarse Dirt! You can use a hoe on coarse dirt like regular dirt to turn it into farmland. While that might not seem interesting, this means that Dirt is actually a completely renewable resource, because you can craft Coarse Dirt by using 2 Dirt and 2 Gravel, giving 4 Coarse Dirt. And since you can trade for gravel from Piglins, this means that as long as you have at least 2 dirt, you can gain a theoretically infinite amount of dirt
This sounds a lot less cumbersome than converting moss into dirt.
which ultimately means that bricks are an infinite building resource!
If you somehow exhausted all of the dirt from your world, I guess.
@@SHDUStudiossome people actually want to have dirt without leaving massive holes in their world, lol
@@SHDUStudios skyblock was the first thing that came to my mind tbh
With the J points north, you can do that with any block: when you start breaking it and the middle of the break pattern appears to be a Y, you're facing north
That is really cool! Thank you! (Not the weird a$$ bot though, that is really creepy)

He forgot to mention that you will only phase through Shulker boxes if there is a block on top of you because the shulker box will try to push you upward, but can’t because of the block above you. Hoping this helps

Fun fact: In HC season 7, Grian used the shulker clip to hide the Mycelium Resistance base (that’s also how Stress accidentaly got in)
That’s what I was thinking as soon as I saw it
Wish he referenced this. "You can use this for hiding a chest, or a base, or a secret resistance about different types of turf."
I instantly thought of that. HC 7 was my favorite. It was packed with content, and the hermits built the BEST mega bases that season. (Grian, mumbo, keralis's city, ixsuma's bee fetish)

4:29 Actually, you can turn rooted dirt directly into mud without turning it into dirt first! It's a very niche interaction
how?
@@BritishTrainspotting apply water
Wouldnt it be more useful to have the roots to make the packed mud?
@@Dennanapply oil and fly?
He told Acecia Tree LOL
Hey, something you may want to know, it works like the old carpet trick but it is slightly different, if you put a carpet on top of a fully grown berry bush and stand a villager on top of it, they will not move because they think they will be hurt, it keeps them from pathfinding, also mobs will not willingly walk over the top of this for the same reason, they think they will be hurt, but they CAN be pushed over it if too many mobs come up at once and shove each other forward.
same with rails if u put rails in a square and put a mob inside it wont be able to go over it at all unless of course to much mobs spawn and push eachother
I'm pretty sure signs still work too as long as there is two block hole
U have 1 full stack of comments on this channel!
Carpets on berry bushes do NOT stop mobs pathfinding that are already on top of them.
11:43 Oh no, we have lost another.
Was looking for this comment lol, fear not I still go by Enchantment Table
And I thought he was og
💀
How could he?
skill issue
I'm glad I learned some facts ! Correction at 4:21 : it's azalea trees that make rooted dirt when grown, not acacia.
Ah I was wondering why that sounded wrong. It sounded close to right but a bit off.
(7:50) you can also make a furnace key without consuming resources by using an empty bucket, as it's the only thing you can put in the fuel slot that hoppers can detect, so if you hook it up to a sorting system to detect if the item is an empty bucket, you can take your empty bucket to use later without needing a constant supply of stuff to put in your furnace
Fun fact about minecraft mobs: When mobs are wandering, they select a random block within a radius, set a waypoint to that block, and pathfind to it. they will not mark blocks that they cannot reach(either because it is blocked off, there is no valid path to the block of choice, or(and i could be wrong on this) the path to the block requires them to travel too far away) but the interesting part is that they will not wander to non-full blocks(stairs, slabs, etc.) but still pathfind on trapdoors(as mentioned by Mumbo), which is why pathfinding mob farms work
the reason why the leaves send updates through one another is because leaf blocks have a variable that says how far away the nearest log is to a leaf block (only through other leaf blocks). this is used to determine if a leaf block should decay or not. even though leaves placed by players don't naturally decay, the variable is still updated, so if you push a log to a block next to a leaf block, the value will change which for some reason is detectable by observer.
you can do a similair thing with scaffolding, but with more range, but i really didnt expect the leaves one
It's detectable because the game is literally doing the same as a /setblock command
@@nikolaos6083 pretty sure its because the variable is a block property, which when updated or changed is detectable by an observer.
Those variables are called blockstates and they exist for all blocks of the same type. You can view them with F3 and change them with the debug_stick
@@wChris_ yes i forgot the name of them lol
Correction, for anyone wondering, you DON'T NEED DEAD CORAL or even slime blocks to duplicate TNT. People have been making videos about it for ages, but for some reason the coral fan option is the most famous one. You can just search "tnt duper without coral" and you will get plenty of videos (if not options) to choose from. I have personally used one in 1.19.2 (using only regular pistons and note blocks, not a single slime or coral).
But are they more complicated to make?
@@remcon559 They have similar footprints, with more types of blocks is all. It's possible that the slimeblock design is easier to integrate in later game because it only has one piston as input, but these early game designs allow you to make entire farms, like cobble without slime or coral, which needs a farm and a rare biome respectively.
I think IanXOfour's multi tree/big mushroom farm uses a TNT duper without slime or coral if I remember correctly. Having blown myself up making the ilMango one, the other option seemed a lot safer and less complicated 😆
Yep this is right, kinda shame that this is not as popular.
I like the coral fans because when you see it, you know what you are looking at. Which is especially important when it comes to accidentally powering tnt dispensers. Just ask Grian or Scar...
2:43 Mumbo knew what he was saying mentioning Tunnel Bores. 7:23 Hahaha knowing the context behind this first is beautiful.
I dunno the context...
The whole Enchantment v.s. Enchanting argument started at around the release of 1.13 for Java Edition. Apparently, the name of the afformentioned block was changed from Enchantment Table (which Bedrock and pre-1.13 Java editions use) to Enchanting Table (1.13+ Java Edition). Enchanting implies looks, Enchantment implies properties. This is just based on the denotations of each word. Personally, I use both sometimes, mainly because I heard others refer to it as both names. I /might/ use one more than the other, though. I'm not sure anymore.
Enchanting could either be a qualitative adjective or a present participle (verb used as an adjective). As a qualitative adjective, "enchanting table" means the table, itself, looks "enchanting"; in other words it's a very good looking table. This is equivalent to saying it's a "small table" or a "red table" or a "square table". By contrast, as a present participle, "enchanting table" can mean a table on which one performs enchanting. This is equivalent to "crafting table" or "dining table". PS: In "Enchantment Table", enchantment is a noun adjunct. Enchantment is a noun, and it's being used as an adjective to modify another noun, table in this case. This is equivalent to "chicken soup" or "football player" or "diamond pickaxe".
@@omargoodman2999 Very good point. I still mostly root for enchantment, however, as it is present in the majority of Minecraft (All of Bedrock, early Java).
@@Indecisive4734 The disagreement likely stems from different preferences for either categorical consistency vs traditional consistency. Those who favor categorical consistency would be more likely to favor "enchanting table" since it keeps to the same convention as other tools in the same category; crafting table, smithing table, fletching table (still needs functionality...). By contrast, those who favor "enchantment table" more likely favor the traditional consistency of how it actually got applied in practice. It's been "enchantment table" for a long time and across a broad swath of versions of the game, so they prefer the consistency of practical use over consistency of nominal category. Honestly, I don't really see what the fuss is about. Both share the same root word, "enchant" and it's clear in both cases what the function of the tool is. Any arguments against one based on "that's not how that word is used/what it means" are clearly incorrect and based on misunderstanding of English parts of speech, as I've already demonstrated. So I think people are just disagreeing and making a big deal out of nothing for the sake of having something to fight over and feel like they have a triumph.
@@omargoodman2999 I still want to know why Mojang ever made the name change specifically on Java and not other versions. I understand that both words have the same meaning, so changing the suffix isn't a phonetical issue. The name change is honestly kind of confusing for the community and phoneticallypointlessmoverall. I guess Mojang just wanted to be Mojang again, like with dying dyed carpets in Java and not in Bedrock (-_-). I apologize for the messy response, I typed this while having my index and middle fingers almost dysfunctional on my right hand.
@@Indecisive4734 Psh, messy? If I didn't constantly go back and edit what I type I'd have words withnthenlettern"n"ninstead ofn"space" because I keep accidentally missing the space button on my phone. But yeah, I think it's just a matter of legacy vs practicality. To change it back to "enchantment" would involve going back and changing lots of code for what is, functionally, an inconsequential matter of linguistics. And same applies to changing "enchanting" to "enchantment" for the sake of consistency. And if they miss one, that can break something, which would be bad. So why fix what isn't broke and why risk breaking (breakment?) what isn't broke, too?

For the mangrove roots one, did you know mumbo that this now works for every leaf in the game. In a very recent update they made all leaves able to be waterlogged
And it’s made putting out a forest fire when you only have one bucket of water so much harder 😂
mlg water bucket trap
@@Kirokill1 Limited Life Scar screams in the distance
From what I've heard, the roots are the only ones that water doesn't flow out of though.
@@Izzythemaker127 Water doesn't flow out of leaf blocks either.
The fletching block has a few uses. It turns the noteblock to a bass, can be burned and changed villager jobs
2:25 I actually considered this mechanic for designing a mob head farm. Needed a chamber for the charged creepers to blow up in, and for whatever reason I was too stubborn to use a moving hopper minecart as collection (wanted to be rid of minecart noises), so instead I wanted a piston to open a stream of water to push the heads into a corner with a stationary hopper minecart, and thus I planned to use ancient debris as a blast resistant pushable block.
I got number 69: Beacons are the only flying immovable transparent blocks you can place redstone on top of, that cannot be affected by redstone themselves. Very useful when compacting redstone machines with lots of slime and honey. Scaffolding and hoppers work too and are a lot cheaper, but scaffolding needs to be supported and hoppers can affect eachother and observers.
Wow, that is obscure. Well done!
Nice
Our saviour
nice
how is it both flying and immovable?
The lily pad idea at 8:40 is a very sustainable use of blocks
The pond also looks like an AMONGUS
@ satan That’s the joke, he keeps accidentally making amongus in his builds and everyone calls it sustainable now
I tried, but the orientation is not chunk aligned
The most I've ever done with redstone was a tiny carnival game-esque pop up armor stand when you hit a target with an arrow, and even that took me like a full 30 minutes to put together, so while I don't believe I will ever be able to use most of these meaningfully, it is very cool to learn about these neat tricks!
3:33 now i can recreate the vietnam war
8:31, what a sustainable little pond!

Another amazing use for slabs in redstone that was missed is when you snake a redstone signal up a staircase of transparent blocks like shown, the signal can only travel UP (only in java) which makes it an insanely compact one-way path that i use very often in my redstone builds.
Regarding the crying obsidian. Respawn anchors have the same blast resistance and higher light level. I've used them to light up the blast chamber in my nether wood farm. They also have a very niche application where they can give off unusual power levels from comparators that no other blocks can give (I needed 11 once and didn't want to use lecterns).
and you didn't want to use hoppers, chests, barrels, furnaces, shulker boxes, cake, droppers, etc?
They need more items
I guess in the overworld they might be a bit troublesome, though
I love that Mumbo is branching off and coming up with amazing new video ideas
I saw this at the same time as leafstone
Pretty sure he always made different videos, not just Hermitcraft. Like for example that one video with 10 minutes of absolutely useless Minecraft facts
wdym branching off? He's done this for ages
He's always done stuff like this.
the redstone block update is quite nice for hidden traps or pathways, since the update also happens through carpet. so you put a redstone ore with observer under a carpeted area and hook it up to whatever you want and people cant tell that its there.
4:37 that’s a cool one I found out purely on my own last year! I had random extra armor from early game, and extra end city armor, and as I’m a hoarder in game I put up some armor stands and put up some full sets with enchantments and one of them was gold frost walker boots from a ruined portal next to my infinite water source since I lived in a desert biome. I was VERY confused why it froze over to ice in a desert, I think my water bucket moved the armor stand with frost walker boots and that’s how I found out the enchantment still works while on the stand. Had to move that armor set away from my water!
I feel like his tunnel bores comment at 2:45 is hinting at a certain recent event on Hermitcraft.
The door tip can also be a fun way to mess with someone who uses pressure plates to activate doors. If you turn it that way, when they step on the pressure plate it will stay "closed" and when they get confused and step off it will "open". Best used on wooden doors since people will start opening them manually, meaning your prank can go unnoticed for a long time.
That Sand/TNT trick is used in Minecraft Factions a lot when it comes to TNT Cannons for raiding enemy bases. One of my favorite mechanics
4:32 You can also fortune the clay and sell to masons to get about 25 emeralds per stack of stone. I use that setup for beacons whenever I start a new world
8:32 That is very sustainable
Yeah. Very sustainable.
8:37 EVERYWHERE I GO, I SEE HIS FACE
Another thing you can do with composters is if you deposit things into it for bonemeal while standing in it you fall through, meaning you can make a secret base under your farm at the cost of a few seeds going in... idk how to get out though lol
Good reminders. Thank you. Slight correction: use 2 sea pickles (not 4 as shown) to align to interior hoppers, since the hit box size of two allows items to pass .
I would love to see MumboJumbo make a video where he uses all of this weird trivia and puts it into one red stone contraption. Kind of like his video where he made a contraption with every block.

Loving the fact you gave the actual intended use of the lodestone as a not well known interaction
Lol glad to see you're joining Cubfan on the "why are fletching tables still useless" crusade. Hope they finally update those soon!! This is a great video, and I appreciate the inclusion of "obvious" things bc you're right that newer folks might just not know that stuff
Cubfan approves. And I've forgotten some of the obvious ones - like using walls to transmit signals.
How are they useless? I use them all the time in pretty much every minecraft world
@@epizon8862 Do you mean you use fletching tables for building/decoration? What we mean is that the Fletching table was intended to have utility to make potion-tipped/special arrows, in the same way Looms are used for banners or Stonecutters are used to make stone variants more easily. But Mojang cut that functionality citing wanting to get everything else out on time, and still have not made the fletching table useable
@@salemoleander *Turning villagers into fletchers: "Am I a joke to you?" UI functionality for fletching tables would be nice though.

@@salemoleanderexactly. It’s been years, and we already have tipped arrows, they’re changing the way the black smithing works for netherite armor (and adding in armor trims) but won’t change how we craft tipped arrows so we can use the fletching table?
9:16 Did you know that a bug in the zombies' AI causes them to walk towards turtle eggs no matter where the mob started, when the eggs are at 0 0 0? I think that's because the zero is mathematically special (like, infinity*0 = 0) and breaks Minecraft's distance calculation algorithm, causing it to always return a distance of 0.
Actually in the very commonly used floating point IEEE 754 standard(funky number type) has Infinity*0=NaN(standing for Not a Number), as it is a indeterminate value in calculus. But still very insightful comment, and clever hypothesis for why it happens(and also funny like those turtle eggs are 2 sun circumferences away you aren't getting them zombie).
very weird, I don't see why this occurs. For example, there shouldn't be any reason to divide by the coordinates of the eggs
@@Izzythemaker127 In JS it's actually NaN but I meant non-computer maths. I should maybe have written the example more like "x*0=0", without specifying x because any value of that results in 0.
@@vibaj16 Division by zero is mathematically undefined. I meant multiplication with zero. Why multiply the coordinates with zero? I don't know what algorithm they exactly use, but they enter the egg's and zombie's coordinates into a calculation function which returns the distance to see if it's worth to walk there. But the calculation breaks when one of the coordinate sets is 0 0 0.
this video was a lot more useful than i thought it would be. definitely going to use some of these mechanics
It's really interesting seeing how different the world of Minecraft is through the eyes of a redstone engineer, taking the quirk of a block you didn't think much of only to realize that it's perfecting for some type of contraption. Different minds see different things, and different potential!

To this day I still find the whole slime farm debacle extraordinarily hilarious
I don't know the context
@@superguy9834 TL;DR: Mumbo built a slime farm so hilariously bad that it sparked an honest to god slime farm revolution. In early season 9 Mumbo built an unconventional slime farm. Back then the norm for slime farms was to dig out a slime chunk. Swamp-based slime farms were technically possible, but regarded by the technical community as inefficient and generally unviable . Mumbo, not wanting to dig out a slime chunk, built his farm in a swamp. Rather hilariously, it didn’t work at all and produced no slime. This rather spectacular failure did however bring some attention to swamp-based slime farms as people tried to figure out what went wrong with Mumbo’s farm and how to fix it. This led to the realisation that some (then) recent changes to the light level requirements for mob spawning had made swamp-based slime farms viable without anyone noticing, and since then some pretty powerful swamp-based slime farms have been created.
4:45 mumbo’s hardest bar 🥶🥶🔥💯
There being 68 and not a single more reminds me of the very real story of a student having a 68.99% in a class, and wrote a lengthy email begging his teach to round his grade up a .01%, and he teacher simply wouldn't
Loved the subtle reference to tunnel bors
0:25 I think it works because the log changes the leave from dissolving to non dissolving cause of the log so technically it changes states
I love the moment, where Mombo references his failed attempt on a swamp based slime farm, that got the technical community to investigate into the real good working swamp based slime farm.
According to the people in the tmc community, this was a thing before Mumbo's farm existed but I would have to have proof of that to confirm it for certain.
There were so many tricks in this I never knew about, that I might actually get back in to minecraft, just to utilize these... I mean the redstone leaf chain alone got me hooked.
4:22 He meant azalea trees 6:33 Not only mangrove roots but any leaves work with this too [and using a debug stick you can waterlog double slabs] 6:56 Respawn anchors also can give off light [more than crying obsidian too] and are tnt proof. Also ender chests can do this and are used for anti mob spawners because of this and that they are a block that doesn't explode while not having a full hitbox. [There are others though, such as end gateways, end portals, end portal frames] {Also waterlogged blocks such as pickles, lanterns, (lava is a fluid) soul lanterns, glow lichen, amethyst buds, and amethyst crystals} - but crying obsidian is probably the best for most cases Not trying to be a know it all just letting people know
I learned more about redstone in this video than I ever have from copying redstone tutorials. This was so comprehensive and I had several aha moments! Great video!!!
"Useful in tunnel bores" I see what you did there lmao
since the honey block isn't a full block, if you make a corner between two and put a water elevator on the other side, you can go up it if you stand in the corner of the honey.
Mumbo: Bamboo is such a bad fuel source no one would ever use it. Zedaph: oh really?
note for #1: updates are expanded every game tick, so if you put a line of observers next to a line of leaves and place a log, the observers will activate one game tick after the last.
Thanks for telling!
6:56 The respawn anchor has the same blast resistance, and gives off various light levels depending on how full it is it does however explode in the overworld/end just like a bed does in the nether/end
Love this and have my own "Building" version of these I should make tbh
We gonna talk about how that flying machine at 6:02 just disintegrated before our eyes?
he did lol
You don't have to use Mangrove roots for that contained water block feature, in fact any type of leaves works exactly the same.
Doesn’t water flow out of them?
Even though leaf blocks are able to be waterlogged, water will still flow out of them. The mangrove roots keep the water from flowing ^^
On Bedrock, water always flows out of the block, but, and I tested that personally, on Java, both the roots and the leaves contain the water!

3:12 just for clarification, you need a block above your head to do this
No
@@MrSkeleton14yes.
On bedrock you do
I've always wanted to make a secret staircase like that! Can't believe I didn't think of that method
The frost stand is really cool. Gotta remember it next time I might need it!

I think this video just helped me solve an issue I've been having with one of my farms for like 3 months. Thanks Mumbo!
Another thing about redstone ore: When activated (either by right-clicking it or walking on it), it gives off a light level of 7, which can be useful if you need a temporary light source, since you don't need to break it or use redstone to turn it off; it turns off automatically, although a side effect is that you can't regulate when it turns off, once it's on, it stays on until it turns off.
TNT: *breaks bedrock* Mumbo: “And this is very good for Ocean Monuments and Mining Fatigue.”
I do the zombie proof door thing all the time. I was explaining how it works to my bestie yesterday and the way I explained it created a paradox that hurt both our brains lol
I'm intrigued as to what the paradox is
how did it create a paradox?
@@vibaj16 So, here’s basically how the conversation went down Me: Did you know that zombies can break down doors Catcraft: No Me: Oh, well I know a way to fix that Catcraft: How Me: Well on my house, you see how the door looks closed, right Catcraft: Ye Me: I placed it in a way to where it’s actually in the open state when is closed, and it looks closed when it’s actually open bc the zombies can only break the door when it’s in the closed state, so it’s closed in the open state… And I’m going to leave it at that bc it hurt my brain so much I couldn’t remember half of it😂
@@HarmonyMoonbeam024 that's not a paradox, just not worded very well. It can just be "It looks open when in the closed state and looks closed when in the open state"
@@vibaj16 Oh well, we talk in confusing ways literally all the time. It’s our weird bestie thing😂
Can we also just appreciate how he's developed in building? I mean everything from his hobbit hole many seasons ago to the mini displays here look really nice and it's definitely an under appreciated talent of his.
Suprisingly the hobbit hole was in s7, which was only 2 seasons ago.
@@yannisjaigirdar3505 That was two entire seasons ago?

Hi there, I'm loving the ideas you come up with. Also, on an unironically unrelated note, is fully automated wood my invention, or has it been done before? (fully automated in the classic sense, as in no interaction needed. No AFK-ing with an autoclicker. You can build your base or make new farms while this one is working)
This is an incredible and well condensed resource, thank you.
It is incredible how the community manages to take the mechanics of the game and be able to utilise it in many many redstone contraptions and builds and everything else
68 so close yet so far
Should've been a stack +5
I'm new to minecraft but I've always wondered what building a circuit out of the mine cart tracks would do.. you explained this 110% thanks again
Props to Mumbo for this excellent video, I am late to watching this but I still enjoyed it! I appreciate how much effort Mumbo puts into these videos!
Also now I want to see a ton of hidden entrances with the things you mentioned in this video, hidden entrances never get old
2:46 Another cool thing about amethysts and redstone is that the pitch of the amethyst ringing sound from it transmitting vibrations is dependent on the redstone signal strength of the original vibration; super cool detail the devs added.
Since an observer can detect an item update behind a block. You can use them to replace tripwire hooks. Making tripwires practically invisible. By removing a block using a sticky piston under a set of scaffolding, you can cause it to collapse. Congratulations! You now have the most easy and effective Minecraft pitfall trap.
Thank you for all this information.
I'd love a similar one with entities, here's an interesting fact about the dolfins : They can be usefull in redstone/item waterstreams for their item throwing properties. They will pick up and trow items 1 at a time with 1 tick delay (iirc) usefull to refresh the despawn timer, as well as to ensure pickup order of the items.
8:50 that pond is kinda sus
I might sound insane, but hear me out. If the rotation of lilypads is dependant on the block underneath it. Then you could potentially send secret codes by giving someone the seed of that world, and the coordinates of where to place the lilypads. Yes I watched a crime movie before this, my mind is in overdrive rn.
10:22 ..... The Horizon has another way to lag out pay to win servers XD
