- There are a large variety in the amount of features that minecraft has. However there are bound to be features that nobody really uses for a variety of reasons such as feeling outdated, not useful, no purpose, or feeling lackluster. In this video we will delve in 20 features almost no one uses. I hope you enjoy :)
Be sure to Like and Sub if you enjoyed it. Thankyou for your support!!

Mushroom Island is far from useless. It's perfect for an endgame base: mobs don't spawn on it, it's easy to terraform and the grass is bright green, perfect for building.
It should also be brought up that it provides nearly endless food with mooshrooms.
And pretty cottagecore aesthetic ooga booga base
It would be, if it wasn't so rare. Making a base so far away from stuff that you have built, before discovering it, isn't practical. Though indeed would make a perfect spot for a base, if you discovered the island early in your world!
@@pRopaaNS if it's isolated from everything else you're better off moving to the mainland
@@pRopaaNS just use nether portals and warp closer to resources you need lol
I always use the charcoal feature because it means I can get torches within the first 2 minutes of playing. It means I don’t have to waste time looking for coal when I should be spawnproofing the area and building a shack for the night
I'm an old player who left the game during 1.9 and came back a few months ago. I am not used to the whole cave update and finding coal proves to be very difficult to me, so I started using charcoal a lot more often
@@haruharu4680 If I’m not mistaken, the best y-level to find coal now is in the 90s so it’s less likely you’ll find it when mining as opposed to being in the mountains
@@Merp_a_Derp woah, the 90s? I did see an increase in my findings when I looked for them above ground but man 90s is a lot more than I expected for coal. It's a bit annoying that it got nerfed like that but maybe I just gotta get adjusted to it
@@haruharu4680 Yup, as Merp says, go to the mountains, there's plenty of coal there, but if you spawn in a place where mountains aren't exactly one of the first things you find, then charcoal is way better
@@haruharu4680 at least the mountains are taller for example the second best place to find iron is at 256 same with emerald
charcoal is definitely not even close to un-used. coal can be hard to find in the latest updates for the first while.
i use charcoal on some worlds where i can't bother mining coal and it's literally easier to passively wait to get a good fuel source for free when you have a tree-chopping mod
yeah charcoal being unused is CAP. i’ve seen plenty of players use their tree farms and dump the logs into a furnace setup that uses charcoal to produce more charcoal
Always use charcoal especially early game. Also tend to save any coal I find until I find villagers and then use it to level them up quickly.
I use charcoal every playthrough
oh yes it took almost 5 minutes to get some coal thats alot
I actually like that charcoal feature. It's a good way to optimize furnaces sense you can just grow trees.
Same, I tend to use charcoal for most smelting jobs since it’s easier for me to get a stack of charcoal than a stack of coal
you can fully automate it by setting up a tree farm with Pistons and a TNT duplicator, feeding the logs into a furnace to become Charcoal, then distribute that charcoal to the rest of your furnaces via hoppers
I didn't even think of this. granted, I prioritize using up mt charcoal first, due to coal being better. Before that seemed absurd, but when they updated the trees to drop sticks it didn't even occur to me. I spawned in one of those horrible big tree taiga biomes this is genius you have no idea how much excess wood I have.
Just make wooden slabs, it's more efficient to make over charcoal, and doesn't need initial fuel to make
The clock is mandatory for me, I never feel comfortable in a new Minecraft world until I've made a clock and stuck it in the corner of my hotbar. The reason? I hate the night and I hate hostile mobs. If I've been toiling away in the mines for hours the last thing that I want to do when I come up for air is to get attacked by a creeper topside. This is multiplied by 100 if I'm fiddling around near a town that I haven't lit up every square inch of and walled up - while I'm fooling around indoors or underground the whole village could be getting massacred. Truly the secret to a healthy (Minecraft) life is a rock solid sleep routine.
I do the same thing... always got a clock on me in my toolbar so I can immediately see what time it is, especially if spending a lot of time working underground. It may not work in the Nether but I always have my portals surrounded by small buildings rather than out in the open so if I come out of the Nether and my clock says it's night, I know to take a nap in the bed I've placed in said small building.
Same, clock gang.
I put a clock on an item frame inside my base, because they're usually really deep underground.
if you are mining, the clock is useless because the overworld is too far away to affect you. if you are overworld, its still useless by just glancing at anything except the ground. also, try sleeping at night.
@@matthewbarabas3052 thanks captain obvious.
I feel like chainmail would be immediately more useful if you were able to combine it with other armor sets to give a further boost in durability, kinda like how chainmail IRL was more of a layer you would wear instead of your sole armor set.
That could make leather usable as well, as a representation of gambesons and such
Please someone tell Mojang
Early in development studded armor was planned which presumably leather armor with chainmail over it
and imagine if you could dye the chainmail armor
They're actually doing this in the next update! They're going to introduce armor combining in general according to the snapshot
They should make Desert Wells only generate in deserts where there’s no water for like 100 200 or 300 blocks
That doesn’t really make it useful because it’s not hard to get water in the first place
@@kirbtheblob desert wells would be useful if there was something like a thirst bar (although getting water in minecraft is so easy that it's usefulness would be debatable).
Did yall forget about the trails and tales update? I mean, I know pottery's not everyone's thing, but still
@@darklex5150it could serve as a waypoint to know where are you in a desert
that makes archeology too hard
for some redstone machines, poisonous potatoes are actually handy as item clogs for hoppers so you can siphon materials without having to let the hopper fill up first
Thats actually a good point
Just naming any random Block with an anvil does the same thing doesnt it?
That's literally any items can do.
Especially the comment above mine
Also useful for trolling noobs
@@Magnus-ck4cu Yes except all other items do have _some_ value
I have a theory that desert wells serve as a tutorial of such to new players, showing them how to make infinite water sources, like how jungle temples show off basic Redstone and traps or how ruined portals give a hint on what a nether portal looks like
there isn't really anything explaining that to them a new player would have no idea an infinite water source could be made
Makes sense, but it's been a WHILE and i mean a WHILE since I stumbled across one, I only did in the old console edition, but never in Bedrock.
Infinite water sources are basically essential, and making them so rare seems contradicting, and most new players will just go to the nearest lake or ocean to refill their bucket.
Originally notch was going to add thirst, but then never did.
I heard once that when there is a desert well there often is a village nearby, got no idea if it's true but sometimes there is so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@supernova5934 It explains it by demonstrating it. When a new player takes water out with a bucket, they witness the water refill itself and use that to figure out how infinite water sources work. That’s how good game design works, it explains through demonstration rather than words
I feel like the mushroom islands are a great place to build a base, as they have a very lush grass colour (as well as water). Also, the mushroom cows are a great renewable food source early game.
Mushroom water is gray tho, its ugly af. Its like muddy or something.
And hostile mobs don't spawn there too
I like to turn mushroom islands into tropical islands since it has like the greenest grass in the game in that biome. Wish Mojang would add palm trees and coconuts
@@justsaying6632 in bedrock it's purple-grey, in java it's bright blue
Try getting one as your world spawn and surrounding it with icy oceans as far as the eye can see, and you have my world spawn, it’s awful…
9:15 i remember in early versions when the only structures on the surface were villagers, temples and villages and the world felt emptier, stumblimg across one was cool, i used to think those meant a desert village was nearby
For the spectral arrow, Piglins can trade it to you in bulk, making them useful earlier game.
more expensive fletcher
Also need it for How Did We Get Here
On our server, I exclusively use spectral arrows because I get so many from trading with piglins. I find a shitton of gold and have little use for it otherwise. Also I like trading with my silly guy.
You can build a basic mob grinder in like 15 minutes very early on and it gives you infinite arrows for free
The poisonous potato does have one use, unlike the thick potion (made when you put glowstone into a water bottle in a brewing stand). You need to eat it if you want to complete the "A Balanced Diet" advancement.
I used to think it was used for poison potion, it would make sense
@@youre_mine no it wouldnt how would it do that if it's near usless
@@timohara7717 idk i used to think that
eating a potato that poisons you sounds very balanced for your diet
@@timohara7717would make sense, makes as much sense as putting sugar to get speed potions
Charcoal is actually pretty useful. It’s great for the early game when you haven’t done a lot of mining yet, especially if you plan to build using stone bricks or smooth stone.
I ONLY use charcoal, it's the easiest thing to make and works exactly the same as coal, but always available, I only hold on to coal to sell it to villagers.
@@AlexHerrera-wk6lqhave some infinite lava and a couple of buckets - and you have an infinite source of the one of the best fuels in the game. If you know what to do, it takes like ~40 minutes to get all materials needed.
even minecraft starts with MİNE what are you gonna do if you dont do some mining first
@@Space_e_e_E_ build a house, look for a village, start a farm
Yeah, its usefull to be able to make when you havent mined yet and barely started setting a base after looking for the good spot
Alternate title: VirtualAct knows one way to play minecraft, assumes that’s how everyone else plays
lmao pretty much
Yeah honestly, half of the things on this last are actually used by people and are nice to have, like clocks, charcoal and the mushroom island being an endgame base
@@arise_femto not to mention mushroom islands are the only way to get mycelium. Literally no other way to obtain it.
Honestly 😂 like most of the comments are “(item/feauture) is really useful because it lets me do this way easier” 😂😂
@@arise_femtono
It’s funny that you mentioned the clock because any time I go mining I have a clock on me so I know if it’s daytime up at the surface. If it isn’t, I’ll mine until morning.
Ok or just get better and don’t die
useless feature, Minecraft is braindead easy btw
I personally use the furnance minecart, It's actually really helpful to move villagers or mobs, instead of using powered rails just use a cheap furnance minecart and one coal.
I guess I never thought about it like that
But why that when rail duping is a thing
@@suburbanyute340 duping is for noobs
@@suburbanyute340 cause we dont wanna abuse glitches and we wanna play the game how its meant to be played
@@suburbanyute340 a lot of people don't agree with it since it's kinda cheating
As a builder I use Dead bushes all the time for pathway decoration and larger potted plant creation.
Same
„Painting leather armors has no use”
Bedwars: am I a joke to you?
but they can just upgrade their armour to iron and then it wont be useful anymore
I love how both of the mobs we got in the recent mob votes (glow squid, sniffer, armadillo) and the frog would make their way here cuz all they do is add niche decor or a tiny change
wolf armor is NOT a tiny change at all. that shit will revolutionize combat
@@duckified. Wolf armor itself isn't bad but wolves are still useless because of how bad their AI and damage output is
Spectral arrows are crafted with one arrow (annoying to get) and glowstone (easy and plentiful) and give you two arrows in return. They let you double your arrow count and give you a spectral bonus to see targets. They are a must and even give you a neat bonus!
True, I always craft my arrows into spectral arrows as well, since you just get the double amount!
wow thanks for the advice i didn't know that
How to find plenty of glowstone dusts...
they're all at the ceiling
Infinity enchantment
@@fujiwaranonekobiodrando1257 you know you can just build up, right?
Potion of Turtle master is actually really helpful if you wanna try to kill the Warden. Still pretty niche use but definitely useful if you wanna take on that challenge.
Funny thing about the warden is it's stupid easy to trap them like most other mobs.
the potion of the turtle mater is so op that I'm surprised players don't use it more often in pvp, the slowness disadvantage can easily be counteracted with a swiftness potion. the only thing I don't like about the potion is the annoying zoom in, is it supposed to be a glitch the devs haven't noticed?
@@sebastiengendron6427 The zoom-in is just a part of the slowness effect, its meant to be there.
@@FireChee it's a bit unnecessary though, does a portion of slowness have the zoom in normally or is because it's a higher tier of slowness is the reason, we get it?
@@sebastiengendron6427 Its zoom strength depends on the strength of the slow effect, meaning lets say you get slowed down 15%, your FOV also gets constricted by 15%, thats for slowness 1 I believe.
the Chain Armor would be nice to equip above the normal armor to even further increase the shield points. This would even encourage to go find chain armors in chests like going to find a notch apple
Even better, use it to make chained armor, which will turn into the normal armor once the chain breaks. Use it to reinforce armor. No extra armor points though, that would be too OP.
@@catsarecool9331but mending exists so, as soon as the player gets mending it becomes useless.
@@darklex5150 don't overthink it. You may not get mending right away either.
For the spectral arrows, if you encounter the Warden, you can shoot it to see it through the blindness effect
As someone who's been involved with the computation redstone community, locked repeaters are EXTREMELY important. They can be extremely useful in any memory circuit in redstone.
Like i commented, this list is made by a noob who doesn't know what "useless feature" means.
It was a very useful feature, but I think the copper bulb killed 95% of uses of the locking repeater
Bro, he listed that then proceeded to talk about it being useful
Y’all saying he’s calling it useless meanwhile the title is featured that are just “unused”, not necessarily useless
@@bobthepancake2870 I see people use them tho
Personally I always use Charcoal. Especially early on. Also something I learned recently is that spectral arrows are really good at combatting the warden since it lets you keep an eye on its location and is still visible even if it hits you with blindness. Allowing you to always track how close it is to you
I find it very useful on skyblock and various other challanges that limit items.
I realized that spectral arrows could be super useful if you shot yourself with it, if you're lost in a dark cave in multiplayer
@@EmperorPenguin1217 That makes me want it in potion form now!
@@pctechnician64 I don't necessarily think it should be a potion, it should also from eating glow berries
@@EmperorPenguin1217 Maybe the glow berries alone can give it to you for a few seconds, but put them in the brewing stand for a potion that lasts longer?
I absolutely love the clock and consider it to be one of the most useful tools in the game. With a quick glance, I can know when it's safe to emerge from caves or if I have enough time to leave my house without fear of being surrounded by monsters.
Okay hear me out: the furnace Minecraft is actually crazy for transporting mobs long distances
you have to supply it fuel to keep it going. you know what doesn't need fuel though? boats.
just put a mob into a boat, then push a minecart into the boat, and for some reason the boat propels the minecart like a motor. it's basically infinite powered rails
@@duckified.WAIT, I CAN PUT MINECRARTS INTO BOATS??
I think the dead bushes look really good as decor items if you get creative enough. I have seen so many clever builds that include it.
I've always wanted to use them as currency since they are finite, but switched to bells, which are annoying to get.
You can create a great shrub with a deadbush in a flower pot with sheared leaves or azalea leaves on top.
You can buy bells from certain villagers
Also good for an haunted house builds.
I used it to make potted trees by putting leaves on top of a dead bush in a pot haha
Spectral arrows are useful to keep track of the warden, since you're able to make him visible even when darkness is applied.
i thought bats were gonna be at number 1 but they’re not even on the list, and they have literally NO use
Half of the things in this video are useful
Charcoal is actually very useful since the 1.18 update. The moshroom island is very good to build your base on, once you terraform it. Dead bushes are actully really good for decorating. I use locked repeaters all the time on my redstone buildings. The furnace Minecart is actually REALLY useful if you're moving mobs around in rail lines.
I 2nd the dead bushes. I'll put one in a flower pot and then place a block of leaves above it to make it look like a small potted tree.
And I 2nd the furnace minecrart. I had to transport 2 villagers over 500 blocks and didnt have any gold or redstone for powerd rails. But with only a couple of stacks of normal rails, a furnace minecart and oly a SINGLE piece of coal, i managed to move the villagers to my base super easily. An useful item indeed
the dead bush is a good currency because it can't be duplicated
ye, furnace minecart could be used to transport mobs that are dangerous to get close to, such as getting a ghast through portal
Charcoal has kinda saved my butt a few times. With the new generation it’s harder to come across coal down where diamonds are. I always bring spare wood with me for sticks etc, and sometimes charcoal. Been a few occasions I had to make some because I ran out of torches and coal. Or maybe a tool broke and I needed to smelt up a new one asap.
I'm a torch spammer so i carry a full stack of logs and coal blocks everywhere with me
Since the days of 360 edition i always brought a stack of logs with me, mainly to make little bases in the caves with a crafting table and chest that i could come back for.
But also charcoal is useful as you can make it on the surface before your first mining expedition so you aren't hoping for coal to make your first torches.
And then lategame with pure automatic tree farms (moss farm for bonemeal, and then stone gen -> moss -> azalea sapling and tree -> blast chamber, either duping or dispenser) you can have infinite wood being smelted into charcoal to power a supersmelter.
1.18 really made charcoal useful
You’re right, poisonous potato needs a buff
Maybe a slight chance to get like strength/speed idk
not everything needs a use. some things exist just to exist
8:41 i don’t think you can locate dungeons
Furnace minecarts make great cheap railways. I used one to import a couple villagers to my villager settlement because it meant I could move the villagers faster than using a boat on land, and didn't have to spend a bunch of gold on a railway that was never going to be permanent. Also, the clock is great to gauge when you can sleep-especially when underground.
usually if I want to do transport I just make a canal.
the price is pretty much just shovels, 2 buckets, and a boat.
@@deathhog The cleanup would be more difficult than insta-mining rails though. And inclines would also be a problem. But it'd be a fun way to build a more permanent transport route.
@@RAndrewNeal Oh that's fair, but I would keep it anyway as a permeant transport solution, because "eh, there's a village there anyway"
@@deathhog That's a good point. I just rarely went to the village, even though it was nearby, because it was a desert village and pre-villager overhaul, I think.

The spectral arrow is pretty useful for PvP with teams, especially if each team has actually been teamed by using the /team command that changes the teams nametag color, since the glow effect color glows accordingly with the player nametag color. Also never in my life have I crafted arrows my own, so I always use spectral arrows since theres a plethora of them in bastions. And I'm too lazy to kill skeletons or make a skeleton farm.
I actually really enjoy the ease that outlining the enemies creates, so I used to use them in survival quite often, unfortunately they aren't on bedrock so I don't get to use them as often as I used to
I just use them during the gap between beating the game and setting up villager trades that can give arrows. I usually end up with a stack or so of arrows after trading for pearls, and it’s a lot easier to just use those than crafting arrows manually.
It's also nice in survival. It lets you craft two arrows for the price of one, plus some glowstone. As someone who prefers mending on a bow over infinity, which doesn't work with these arrows, I like spectral arrows alot.
The poisonous potatos finally have a use now lol
spectral arrows were useful to me when i did nether survival, you essentially take an arrow and double it by crafting it into spectral. quite useful when arrows aren't plentiful
The spectral arrow is really good when taking on ancient cities. it's the only counter to the darkness effect because you can still see outlines
spectral arrows can be useful in warden emergencies. if you hit it from a good enough distance, you risk being detected but get absolute visibility on the creature even through the darkness effect. it may be niche but it may also be a life saver
also it's maybe the easiest way to get a decent amount of arrows in the midgame
@@egon3705Trading with Piglins go brrrr.
@@egon3705 stray farm would give much more useful arrows, though finding a skeleton spawner might be bit tricky
I find them useful when i fight ghasts cuz sometimes they don't die from first shot and i have to take cover for a couple of seconds so knowing where they exactly at has been quite useful.
You can duplicate arrows
I remember thinking back way in the old days of minecraft that desert wells had a chest in them. im pretty sure it was an obscure mod i saw on youtube but I used to check under every desert well and I was always thoroughly disappointed xD
I love riding pigs because I can get my friends to hop on and then leash it before flying away with an elytra. Works better with slow falling.
Uses for some of these features: poisonous potatoes fill more hunger than regular potatoes, and do not always poison you. They are also easy to obtain on servers. Dead bushes are useful for when you spawn in a desert with barely any resources in sight as they give access to sticks. Clocks are useful for people who live underground and have either bees or villagers because they are only awake in the day. Mushroom islands are useful if you want a place where mobs do not spawn (except mooshrooms). Charcoal is useful in skyblock or other challenges as coal is difficult or impossible to come by. For spectral arrows, you get 2 spectral arrows when crafting them, doublng the amount of arrows you have, and piglins also give you them when bartering for enderpearls.
aren't poisonous potatoes used for a potion? I remember making poison potions with them.
@@silentios7336 spider eye is used for poison poisones potatos arent used in anything
Mushroom stew from mooshrooms, infinite food
I honestly prefer using charcoal since coal isn't renewable and villagers will buy it sometimes. I am aware that I'm extremely weird for this.
@@chilljelloton2089 Coal is renewable, wither skeletons drop it.
even though some of these features might not be used a lot, it's still nice to have them. It just gives you more freedom to play the game however you want, which is quite nice.
Desert wells are finally useful with archaeology, though it’s much more efficient to just go for an underwater ruin
While ive never needed to use it, i do think the turtle master potion could have uses in small spaces like dungeons, where it might be handy to have some extra resistance but mobility isnt as important, but idk tho
Charcoal is a great mid game item. One of the first farms that I always construct is a tnt powered tree farm. Charcoal becomes great for fuelling your early game furnace array, especially when you bring several shulkers of sand or any other item that you smelt in mass. It is simply too tedious going out for coal when you have a surplus of logs. As you eventually construct your wither skeleton farm you will probably swap to either coal or coal blocks. (unless ur a bamboo enjoyer. Bamboo is random tick based which mean your massive furnace array would not receive additional fuel whilst being run via chunk loading. If you are going to have something like a 1m bamboo storage you are better off filling that space with coal anyways. What I'm saying is bamboo is not great as your main fuel source but can be used to run smaller arrays that are attached to other random tick/player required based farms.)
or you can make a kelp farm which you can use to get xp and fuel at the same time.
I use it because I admitly hate acacia wood. So I convert any that I happen to get through random means I to charcoal or other things like sticks.
I used to use charcoal a lot though, especially during the 360 era.
You can use kelp or bamboo for furnaces which arent very efficient but you can acquire them in large masses easily
For me, charcoal is pretty much an early game item i use specially for modpacks.
It's definitely more useful now that coal spawns mostly in mountains. Also what ELSE am i supposed to do with all that jungle wood i got clearing out areas for builds
You need 1 arrow and 4 lightstone dust to make 4 spectral arrows, so while the effect they give is only needed in specific situations most players craft them because you just get more arrows by crafting spectral arrows
You also get them from bartering
With is nice addition
I saw someone say that they're good for dealing with the Warden since it will still show the outline even if you are blinded
>lightstone
True old school Minecraft player detected
came to say the same thing but actually yields 2 spectral arrows, its still good to double your arrows if have only a few
Desert Wells aren't that useless anymore, since you can find suspicious sand around it.
With the most recent update to Minecraft, desert wells spawn with suspicious sand:)
Poisoned potatoes are VERY useful as currency in servers as it has no other use and it’s pretty hard to get so it has a use.
Do people really do that? Isn't it bad practice to use a farmeable item as currency?
@@mcflyingfury its farmable sure. but its still not really that common
but even that isn't very common
@@ajaiiix2978 fair enough
@@supernova5934 I'm just saying, if it's used as currency, then someone could hyperinflate the economy with a good farm
Charcoal is actually SUPER useful especially after the caves and cliffs update, as coal is a bit weird to find now edit: why the fuck are you guys arguing about farms and shit
I spawned at y level over 100 so there's much coal for me to find
I agree. Plus, charcoal is renewable, coal is not. In my main world I have a tree farm next my base and in a corner I also added a smelter. Every time I go there to restock on wood, I always make sure to leave a couple of stacks of logs in the smelter so that I basically have an infinite source of fuel
@@Merione Coal is renewable, wither skeletons can drop it. It might not be useful at the beginning of the game, but after building a wither skeleton farm, it's a decent way to obtain coal without mining.
Exactly. I can quickly make some charcoal for torches on a caving run
And is superuseful on skyblock, when charcoal is the only way to make torches.
spectral arrow is useful for hitting yourself while mining in multiplayer. All your friends will be able to see you through blocks and you can meet up much easier.
Potion of the Turtle Master is actually quite useful, for example, As Camman18 pointed out in his video, it can make you tank a charged creeper at point blank without the help of any armor, for reference, a God Apple can’t even do that. Another thing pointed out about it is that the slowness effect can mostly be minimized by jumping. This is why it was commonly used by Technoblade, rest in peace, in most of his 1v1s.
Man of culture, He lives on in our hearts brother.
I wish the Mushroom Island biome had it's own foliage. Like, if you've found the Cherry Grove biome from the recent update, there are these decorative "pink petals" all over the ground that work like Sea Pickles and Candles, where you can stack multiple on a block and it changes their appearance. Maybe having some mushrooms that can do that, or some "spores." It would also be fun if the cows munched on the spores and mushrooms, giving a sort of in-game explanation as to their appearance.
Finally I can make my base moldy
For the beetroots, beetroot stew gives you more saturation (which is different than hunger) than regular beetroots which is why it is better than six beetroots
Edit: It would seem my comment sparked some controversy
beetroots suck and its soup just suck %1 less
@@Space_e_e_E_sucks the same bc u cant stack it
beetroot stew are not better, they give 7.2 saturation, and beetroot give 1.2 saturation, which is 1/6.
Crafting beetroot stew is useless, they don't stack and they are not better than eating 6 beetroot
Not worth the tradeoff
To elaborate, saturation is an invisible stat which decides when hunger starts depleting. It's consumed by anything that drains hunger, albeit at a faster rate. When you regen quickly after eating, that's your saturation being consumed
I wish the potion of luck had a use. They could make frogs drop frog legs which could be cooked and eaten or used to make a potion of leaping. That way, a rabbits foot could be used for a potion of luck.
When consumed, would increase the likely hood of mobs dropping rare items. Zombies dropping iron and carrots, mobs wearing armour. Could also work like looting and provide more general drops. It would also increase rare and unique loot tables when finishing or opening vaults and dungeon chests
I use clocks in my underground bases. Helps to know if I should wait and sleep before going exploring.
furnace minecarts have a way to make "trains" of up to 4 minecarts (which break when turning) and also desert wells aren't considered structures by the game. Instead they are considered "features" which I think is also what naturally-spawning trees are considered.
The furnace minecart is a great way of moving mobs on a temporary rail without having to setup (or even make) powered rails. It's simpler, and when transporting multiple mobs, you usually care more about them actually getting there that how fast they get there. So no. They're not useless.
i use them when im dealing with villagers all the time bc i dont have a gold farm yet
same thought :D
Imo, boat-carts (a glitch where a boat goes in a minecart) are better. There self-propelled after 1 push and are faster than furnace carts, and can also push around 2 extra minecarts
It'd be cool if you could link them together
Does it work with shulkers? Because I know you can't push a shulker in a minecart.
Dead bushes can actually be used to look like the branches of a small tree!
Step 1: place a pot
Step 2: place a dead bush
Step 3: place a leaf of your choice on top.
Step 4: place another leaf of your choice on top making it two leaves tall. (Optional)
charcoal is extremely useful and I've actually pretty frequently used charcoal in the early game when playing hardcore. I think I've been exceptionally unlucky when it comes to finding my first coal. I actually had one hardcore game where i had several pieces of iron equipment before i found my first coal. even in the later game though, it can be good to know about in a bind.
I usually use charcoal over coal, you can always easily get a lot of it and I don't have to go to the mines to get fuel (I mostly prefer other aspects of the game).
Also I didn't know about locked repeaters at all! Thank you for explaining it!
Charcoal is my #1 fuel, even late game when I can farm coal since I can use coal to trade/train blacksmiths.
totally agree, especially if you play modded because with mods like create you can make extremely efficient automatic tree farms pretty much from early-mid game so it becomes easier to get charcoal than to go mine for coal
I use charcoal more as well!
I’ve started using charcoal instead of coal with the last update. Coal now is harder for me to find and wood is plentiful and easy to get. It’s a lot easier now to have a tree farm than to scour the mines for coal.
Especially since u can skyrocket the amount of coal u have: 1>8>64>8*64>64*64 etc. And this takes like half an hour if ur chopping 2X2 spruce trees to get more than a double chest full of coal. Only negative I see is u can't craft it into blocks.
9:54 I liked the concept of using it to produce poison potions, shame it's a mod exclusive
A dumb extra thing about rabbit stew is that the edible ingredients eaten separately fill more hunger than just the one, which makes the stew so useless you really only eat it for the Balanced Diet advancement.
for no. 3, making spectral arrows with glowstone actually doubles the amount of arrows you have, so if you hav enough glowstone and need more arrows (say in a speedrun) it can be quite useful
I’ve always used charcoal. It’s really useful especially for the start of the game and for automatic smelting.
I don't have time to mine at levels coal spawns at anymore.
Also Charcoal is mega useful in Skyblock
@Iknowthismeme It's been roughly 10 years since I last was in vanilla Minecraft. I've played on a server. When I came back a couple weeks ago, coal generates completely differently and is much more rare. I've been almost exclusively relying on charcoal. I've been playing since Beta 1.4
I use charcoal to make a campfire early game for food
I use charcoal all the time. Yeah, I mine a lot to get coal, but early pre-mining for torches and campfires is really handy by burning a few trees.
Charcoal is pretty useful early game tho, I always use it if either im going down a cave for the first time in the world or if I ran out of coal midgame and I cant be bothered to go mining for a while.
The minecart coming around the corner at 7:42 jumpscared me really bad, even though I knew it was coming 😂
And I'll have to disagree on the clock. I use it if I go on long mining sessions, to keep track of time and avoid phantoms appearing.
Leather boots have become useful since the powder snow was added, because they prevent you from sinking. Rabbit hides are going to be useful very soon, I hope, once the bundle is finally added in the vanilla game. They are cute too ^^ And desert wells are also finally useful as of the latest snapshot, because they became an archaeology site!
just get better
Ok, be real. Most people stay the fuck away from biomes with powder snow. Also rabbits are ass to kill and you have to kill a bunch to make an item with a VERY specific use.
@@d4cto Maybe so. I like keeping a pair of snow boots in my ender chest just in case!
@@valkeakirahvi I used to do that right after powder snow was added but then I realised that I never go there because there is practically no reason for it outside of "maybe I need a shitload of buckets with snow for cool looking landing pad with carpets".
yea and you can just use water, gets rid of the snow instantly. and also the powder snow is so slow to die from you can just mine your way out@@d4cto
I honestly love the furnace minecart cause when used properly really does make a train. You can actually link the furnace minecart with a regular minecart then wherever the furnace goes, you follow. It's such a cool mechanic that would be so cool if minecarts as a whole weren't so weak. I think my favorite part about the furnace minecart was that I found a way that it would essentially push my minecart and take me somewhere and would always be in front of my minecart no matter which destination I was at. It's made transportation so much funner especially since you could link it with a minecart chest and literally create easy ways of transporting items. I remember in a dmo making a coal mine that made it so you could literally call for a minecart chest and put your iron and ores in it and then use the furnace minecart to send it back to the surface to make mining so much easier since you didn't have to keep throwing away all that cobblestone. Man I really do wish Mojang didn't just forget all about minecarts and rails cause it could be so much fun if it was buffed and fleshed out some more. Who doesn't wanna create huge train systems throughout your world.
But whe have powered rail lol
@@jpro6413 powered rail is expencive and feels useless when you can use a powered minecart to do the same way cheaper
Price has no meaning if you are building rails, because at that point, you probably have a few mob farms set up already
@@JamesTDG Lmao you don't even need any farms for rails. Rails are the easiest thing in the game to duplicate infinitely. I had a double chest filled with powered rails that's how easy it is to dupe.
Im a bedrock player, and furnace minecart is my preferred method of transporting villagers on land, in the early game finding rails is easy in mineshafts, and since you just do it the once, there is no point in making a hole track of power rails. Furnace minecarts are underated as far as minecarts go, but yeah they need a rework.
6:25 I think it's more used as a decorative item
Charcoal is still quite useful for super-smelters, you can make a tree farm and funnel the logs into furnaces then from those furnaces distribute the charcoal to the rest of your smelting setup, since 1 Coal/Charcoal will smelt 8 items, you can fuel 1 wood-smelting furnace and 7 additional furnaces perpetually as long as you have 1 to start the process and keep feeding the first furnace logs. Scale this up as much as you please for large-scale, fast, automatic smelting.
Spectral Arrows are useful for doubling your arrows if you don't have Infinity on your Bow (some people prefer Mending since arrows can be cheaply farmed) or if you're using a Crossbow. One regular arrow plus 4 Glowstone Dust makes TWO spectral arrows, and since Glowstone can easily be mined in large quantities in the Nether, obtained via trading with a Cleric Villager or by farming Witches. And the ability to mark enemies hit is useful in dark caves, fighting the Ender Dragon or just generally alerting your friends to where enemies are.
About the spectral arrow: it's very nice since you get tons by trading with piglins, no need for a skeleton farm. Also it's great against the Warden since he gives you blindness, so if you shoot him you can keep track of where he is, finally just in pvp - if you shoot someone they can't hide behind a tree or hill for 10 seconds, it's more useful than you might think.
The mushroom island is pretty great, building your base without monster spawns is awesome. It's also good when making mob grinders just outside of the biome because of increased efficiency
I hate that it usually spawns thousands of blocks away. I can deal with the rarity but I just want to get there fast yk
Awesome video editing and commentary!
The spectral arrow is crazy useful. It costs one normal arrow to make two spectral arrows. If you don’t have infinity (or want mending on your bow), you can double your amount of arrows and given them added functionality
why not just use a bartering farm for infinite spectral arrows?
@@merlin1243 that's not the kinda thing most normal players do...
The better alternative is to get a medium-sized brewing room set up and just get tipped arrows. My personal favorite is instant damage, but you can use whatever you want. Granted in java its harder to make tipped arrows. In bedrock however, you can make literal hundreds of tipped arrows pretty early on in your game
@@nakdu3936 huh? i didn't know that last part
they are a GODSEND if you have to deal with the warden
Charcoal used to be more useful for auto-smelters. Hook up a tree farm to an auto-smelter, and loop the charcoal back into the furnaces to make more.
With the advent of bamboo, however, it lost that use, as bamboo can be used directly.
Furnace minecarts can actually be pretty helpful since they launch other minecarts at the max speed, allowing you to use less powered rails uphill and across. Plus, as long as the track is straight, you can use them to push minecarts along to clear ones that get lost or left behind.
I would argue that things such as the dead bush and desert wells serve two purposes: 1st, add ambience to the world and 2nd, make everything feel less lonely.
Dead bushes adds to the desert environment. Instead of it just being a see of sand with occasional cactus, it’s that plus dead bushes.
Desert wells make minecraft feel less lonely. As a kid, when you see it you wonder “who made this?” and theorize about the mystery of its existence.
Despite that while playing Minecraft you’re playing literally the same thing over and over again alone, it feels less so with structures such as the desert well and dead bushes.
While yes, progression wise they serve no purpose. As a minecrafter since the beginning, I get frustrated at these newer players who seemingly want everything that’s added to serve a profession purpose. Why can’t we just have a bat that serves no purpose but it exists in caves? It’s okay to have a bunny mob that isn’t good to farm but makes sense cus it exists in real life.
8:24; Speedrunners use spectral arrows that they get from piglin trades to kill the dragon. They don't care about the glowing effect.
So they're not using it for its use?
I've actually used the desert well. One time I was building something deep in the desert with concrete powder and forgot to bring water to make concrete. But then on the way to the build site I found a desert well and didn't have to go back to get water.
Some of these really come down to play style and game settings. Clocks are absolutely clutch for me when I'm doing shift work while setting up a base - mining at night and building out the base during the day. The clock lets me know when it's time to go back outside to continue building. It's also useful for when I've had to make the world's worst hidey hole when caught traveling at night (like digging straight down a few blocks and popping a block on top because I'm being assaulted lol). Clock lets me know when it's time to leave, in case for some reason I can't hear mobs dying in the morning. And charcoal is great. I pretty often play the game just by roaming around instead of actually mining and charcoal gives me that option more easily. (It's also saving my life in the One Chunk At A Time mod that I'm playing now. My spawn chunk does not have a reasonable amount of coal.)
I found the dead bushes and rabbits to be useful when I set a world to large biomes and spawned in the dead center of a massive desert. The sticks from the dead bushes weren't objectively useful but it made me feel better to have something to swing around (and offset my wood use when I finally did find a tree), and the only food source was rabbit, although I think I spent more in hunger running around trying to catch them than I got from eating them.
1. The clock is very useful,just like the compass, because it gives you spatial awareness when inside a cave
2. Beetroot and Rabbit stew gives you more saturation than the items you use to make them (meaning that you lose hunger slower)
3. Charcoal is useful at the early stages (making torches right away,campfires and so on)
4. Desert wells now are useful thanks to archaeology
5. Locked repeaters are useful for redstoners
6. Spectral arrows are useful against the Warden
I could add the Emerald Ore: it's probably rarer than the Ancient Debris (the latter can be found everywhere in the nether, meanwhile the former can spawn only on one biome),natural generation consists in one single block,with a very low chance of two blocks near one another,so other than mining it with Silk Touch for decoration, it's far easier to set up a village or to kill a bunch of Vindicators
personally i find spectral arrows very useful, they make it easier to tell where the mob you're trying to hit is if it's something far away or you're just in a dark environment. the crafting recipe isn't worth it but you can get them from bartering with piglins
I fondly remember using most of these, and usually in the past year. Clock is really useful in caves (I always have one on me), I have trouble finding coal early game and use charcoal instead, beetroot stew was my main food in my pocket edition world, dead bushes are a great source of sticks in the desert, and I've found a desert well in quite a few worlds and I just think they're cool.
the clock goes all wonky in the nether though
@@evanlarson3194 forgot about that while writing the comment, yeah
The well is just nice looking. Also it tells that there is a village close by as there is a building being taken care of (not like the jungle temple)
I use charcoal a lot, especially if I don't have any armor or decent weapons to go underground. Dead bushes in a pot with leaves on top look really nice. I use the clock underground so I don't get blown up by phantoms on my way home. I ride a pig in a minecart from my house to the village usually, but sometimes I take my upside down horse 😂
8:38 My brother always told me that if you go south of a desert well, you will find a desert temple. I believed it for 4-5 years.
It's semi-true, a desert well means there's a village or desert temple in a radius (I forgot how big the radius is, though.)
@@neoncosmo.gardenno
Much of these features are long overdue for an update.
I wanted *Blocks of Charcoal* since the textures for it & the Coal item became distinctive from one another, mainly as another palette for builds.
Shame that the *Beetroot/Rabbit Stews* became outclassed by the more recent *Suspicious Stew,* especially the saturation boost one.
Hopefully *Bundles* will be added soon, so we have a reason to farm rabbits.
With the *Sniffer,* maybe it can dig up _new, rare_ *Mushroom types* only found in the Mushroom Biome. Also with _new plants/seeds that comes with the Sniffer,_ they can be used to interact with the *Mooshroom,* much like how _certain flowers_ can change which type of *Suspicious Stew* you can get by milking the cow with a *Bowl.*
Not much to say about *Nitwits* other than that, when *Villagers* were 1st added to Minecraft, they all wore _green coats,_ have no gameplay function, & have no idle SFX. There's a theory I like where *Wandering Traders* used to be Nitwits, with their green undershirt.
*Chainmail* should be craftable with the _actual_ *Chain items.* Otherwise, bring the *zombie to drowned* _100% gear drop with full durability_ mechanic from Bedrock Edition to Java.
*Deadbushes* with *Leaf Blocks* on top can simulate small trees/bushes. There's a mod that allows you to convert *Saplings* into Deadbushes by placing them on *Sand,* which would be a nice vanilla feature.
I've seen a video mentioning a GUI for the *Furnace Minecart* & *Chains* being used to _link_ *Minecarts* to form a "train," giving Furnace Minecarts a much needed upgrade, as well as another function for Chains.
*Poisonous Potatoes* should be used to brew a potion of sorts. Well, at least they're good to use for item filters.
They arent gonna give poison potatoes a use ever. In fact, the reason why they exist is to keep potato farms balanced and in check
I would give poisonous potatoes the use to make "naughty bottle water" or whatever name and when drinking it only gives you nausea effect, maybe hunger as well, it would be a fun worthless item to craft
@@Master_Brutus Balanced? They drop way too little to have any balancing properties. Aren't they there just because?
Chains are way too expensive, they should be crafted with iron nuggets
@@Zeb0101 I hadn't even thought of that. Giving players a way of getting the nausea effect via potions would be pretty nice.
1:10 ABUNDANT YET NEVER AVAILABLE WHEN I PLAY
5:59 when it comes to dyeing armour when playing with my siblings we color code our rooms and armour in game so things don't accidentally get taken LOL
6:11 clocks are my love and idc what anyone says lol. They go in item frames on my house walls or in my inventory when mining
Furnace minecarts are amazing. Using it means you never have to craft and set up powered rails for moving mobs like villagers around. If you’re not using it, you’re crazy.
And I wanna take the title personally:
-Supersecret features are both to entertain curious players and to give lore of how mobs see
-Charcoal is a way to make coal even if you're stranded on an island with no caves, so coal is not extrictly necessary
-Rabbit food is good i guess
-Mushroom Island are great to live in since no mobs spawn, and it's nice to find rare biomes
-Nitwits at least aport lore and bed density to a village
-Leaping potions help on survival games or for construction if you don't have a beacon (In Bedrock, getting a beacon is not as easy as Java)
-Chain armor is more like a trophy than a protection, but it can be useful if you find it before iron.
-Dead bushes are the easiest way to get lot of sticks if you're spawning on a big desert
-Beetroot stew gives more uses to the bowl.
-Redstone repeaters block is used for complicated contraptions we probably never use but redstone nerds like it
-Turtle Master might be hard as heck to get but it's a great way to fight heavy, tough enemies as an entire raid of vindicators or even a Warden
-With the new 1.20 armor trims plus leather boots being a way to avoid powder snow, you can make really nice designs with it.
-The clock is useful for miners or to have another way to know the time
-I didn't even know Minekart Spawner existed :0
-Pigs is fun and necessary to win an achievement
-Furnace Minekart was used to impulse minekarts before powered rails existed, and can be used to automatize rails track if you're poor.
-Golden hoe is just the Homonymous golden version of the rest, it simply must exist
-Glowing arrows or whatever are used to mark players even if they hide or sneak and can be great to see the Warden while in darkness effect, allowing you to know where to walk away
-Desert wells are a way to get water in the new deserts since they now generate less water lakes. Also is part of the lore, and in the 1.20 is one of the few places where archeology can be used
-Poisonous potato is a way to troll your noob friend
I agree most of this items or mechanics are barely used, I just wanted to give a point on their advantage for fun. Great video!
I wish I could like comments more than once
Turtle master for PVP, too.
glowing arrows can also come le mass in piglin bartering, an infinite arrow source if you are getting ender pearls.
Golden hoe insta-mines sculk, unlike a netherite one. Slap mending on one and suddenly it's very useful
Riding a pig was a x-ray bug in many versions
The spectral Arrow is one of the more usefull byproduct of the bathering Farm. Mainly i use those farms for quarz, Blackstone and Obsidian, as well as some netherbricks. So i get those arrows for free, so i use them...
Crafting spectral arrows can be useful if you find yourself low on arrows in the Nether since crafting them gives you 2 for every arrow used in the recipe.
I barter for gravel, quartz and blackstone. Fire charge and potion of fire resistance is very handy as well.
I use kelp as my energy source, its easy to make automatic farms, and burns 20 units per dry kelp block. When i need coal for torches or anything else, I burn some wood with kelp and this keeps me from having to mine coal at all 🤑
I utilised the furnace Minecart ALOT in the early stages of building my nether highway
See the way ive setup my realms highway is so that it not only connects the places but can also be used as a means of transporting large amounts of material to different areas.
Ive setup a redstone connection that allows you to choose where its going and who to, there's activator rails at each end that are connected to lamps to allow someone to know if there is a train currently or if the line is free, all lamps are connected so everyone can see.
It was very ambitious but since then ive replaced it with normal powered rails (i didnt have nearly enough gold at the start)
The highway design isn't clunky either as the rails and redstone are all under & inside the structure.
Unfortunately after putting so much effort into connecting my realm players bases, its not used much anymore.
I did all that within a week or two, definitely fun having the drive but i know the surge will come back.
I only use charcoal or lava in my furnaces save the coal to sell to villagers, didnt know that was considered odd, love the video!
I used the furnace minecart once to transport a bunch of items in minecart chests. Because minecarts like to bounce on each other, I kept finding that when transporting like this, the minecarts would start moving the wrong way. But the furnace minecart wouldn't. So it can be used to make sure the minecarts consistently moves in the correct direction.
This was back in 1.5.2 (so before shulker boxes), and on a custom map I was playing where the rails were already placed for me. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't use it. But I think it did have a use case back then and people just didn't realize that it could help fix this issue of minecarts bouncing back.
I like using it to transport villagers. It's much cheaper than crafting a whole bunch of powered rails
