Hey everybody, it’s Under My Cap, and welcome back to another video! Today, I’m going to talk about the top 15 hidden features that Mojang has implemented into Minecraft 1.16. They are really cool, and some of them you might not have heard of; some you may have, but I’m going to cover all of them. Please note that some of these features only work on Bedrock, and some only work on Java, which I will specify in the video when it’s edited. Make sure to like and subscribe; my socials are in the description below. I hope you enjoy this video! Now, the first hidden feature is actually in Minecraft Bedrock. They have added emotes in this version. All you have to do is go to “Edit Character” and scroll across to the character with their hand in the air and to the side. You will find a whole bunch of emotes you can buy, as well as some that you can unlock. This is really cool; currently, this is only available on Bedrock. I’m pretty sure you can get emotes on Java, but you would need a different launcher or something. Still, these are official emotes available on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and all Bedrock platforms. Most of the emotes can be unlocked using achievements, so you need to unlock certain achievements to get specific emotes. Currently, there are only three emotes that you can unlock with advancements, such as the Pickaxe, the Diamonds to You, and the Hammer. The Hammer is really cool! All you have to do is go into the store section or your Edit Character and equip certain emotes for your character, which is really neat. I like what they’ve done; it’s really innovative. The second feature has actually been seen in Minecraft Education Edition, and it’s called the Order Block. You can obtain it by typing in a command on a console. I didn’t do it on Xbox because it’s really hard to type there, but you just type in ‘/give @p command_block’ and then ‘/give @p order_block’ to get the Order Block. This block prevents any building or modifying of blocks near it. As you can see here, my character can’t escape from it because of the order; everything on that side of the block is unable to be edited or built upon. You can only destroy it if you are in Creative Mode, which is really cool. Coming in third is the Jigsaw Block. I made a video on this before, so you can check that out in the description below. I talked about how it generates the world, villages, and other structures. Fourth is a rather interesting one. I noticed that Mojang has copied the honey particle effect from when the bees came out. If you notice when I turn this on and off, the particles spawn and then fall in the same way. This is a really cool hidden feature that I just discovered, and it looks great! I do notice that honey particles tend to remain longer than crying obsidian particles. Coming in fifth, Piglins turn into Zombie Piglins when exposed to the Overworld. They must be in Easy mode or higher. If you notice, they will be standing around for a bit and shaking. After about thirty seconds, they will turn into a Zombie Piglin. If you want to save a Piglin before it transforms, just push it back through the portal, and they should survive. Next up are the Striders. Striders are really cool mobs that have been added in this Nether update, and for me, they are my favorite mobs in the entire game. When you put them in lava, they will walk around happily and turn red. However, as soon as they get out of the lava, they turn gray and cold, starting to shiver. They actually turn a dark blue or purple color. They will stay alive but will really want to get back into the lava, as shown here. This hidden feature is something I really like. Coming in at number seven, players can actually be protective of chests. If you approach a chest in public or open, you might notice that Piglins will start attacking you, hitting you with their swords and shooting you with their bows and arrows. At number eight, Piglins love gold. They will do anything for it! You will notice that they are fascinated by the gold I have. If you drop gold, they will pick it up and trade items with you. There’s a rare chance for them to drop tools, including a rare chance of dropping Soul Speed. If I drop gold again, you’ll see a Piglin pick it up, look at it, and then give you another item. Another neat thing about Piglins is that if you wear golden armor, they will not attack you. However, without golden armor, they will chase after you. If I place gold down, they will calm down and stop running at you. Another cool feature added is that Nether items do not burn. If I drop them into lava, they act like water and slide out; they don’t burn. When you compare it to other tools, you will see that none of them survive, but Nether items are really cool because if you accidentally fall into lava, you won’t lose all your stuff. You will lose some, but not the tools, and they also don’t take damage from fire sources. Soul Sand and Soul Fire deal different amounts of damage. Soul Sand deals one heart of damage per second, while normal fire deals half a heart. I’m going to quickly go into Creative Mode. There we are. Soul Fire can also be used to craft Soul Torches and Soul Campfires. It’s really simple: if I place a crafting table, craft a normal torch, and then add Soul Sand underneath it, you’ll get Soul Torches. It’s really easy to make, requiring just an extra bit of Soul Sand. Something that not a lot of people might know is that Piglins are afraid of Soul Fire. If I spawn Piglins here, they’ll be okay at first. However, as soon as I place a Soul Torch, they all run away. It’s the same with Campfires. If I place a Soul Campfire, they will flee from it because they’re scared of the blue fire. The same goes for Soul Lanterns. Soul Torches actually emit less light than normal torches. For example, this torch is bright, while this one is dim. The difference in brightness fits the Nether’s overall theme, as it is generally darker. In your Minecraft world, you can also encounter ruined portals. They can be found underwater or on land. For instance, here is an underwater area where you get pulled down with streams of bubbles. In these areas, you can find half-built portals with some crying obsidian and usually some golden armor. This is really cool, and you can also find blocks of gold nearby—usually about three in each area. This can help you gather enough materials to get a portal running. The next cool feature of this update is the Respawn Anchor. It can be crafted with Crying Obsidian and Glowstone. You go to a crafting table, place three Crying Obsidian on the top, three on the bottom, and three Glowstone in the middle to create the Respawn Anchor. When you click on it, you won’t notice anything happening initially. What you need to do is load it up with Glowstone. Tap it four times to fully charge it, which gives you four lives. Every time you die, you respawn at the anchor. However, if it isn’t glowing or there’s no yellow light, you will respawn in the normal world. If you die, you’ll respawn here but lose one of your lives. As you continue to die, your lives will decrease, and to replenish them, you’ll need to use Glowstone. If the anchor gets broken, or if you keep dying, you will return to the normal world, and you won’t come back, as it will inform you that your home bed or charged Respawn Anchor was obstructed. Keep in mind that the Respawn Anchor does not work in the Overworld; it will explode. So when you click on it, it may explode, or sometimes, if you leave it for a while, it might just go off. Finally, when you get a compass in the Nether, you’ll find it pretty useless at first. As you walk around, it points in every direction, leaving you confused. When you link a compass to the Lodestone, it helps navigate your way back. You will notice that the compass will follow the Lodestone, and if you turn around, it continues pointing at it. When you’re on top of it, it can get a little erratic due to confusion, but overall, it helps keep you on track. If you break the Lodestone, the compass loses its direction, which is unfortunate.
