179 Incredible Minecraft Build Hacks 

does anyone say: "I'm totally going to use this in my world!" and then you forget about it

Combine netherack with mangrove planks to get a nice detailed red floor or wall.

With spore blossoms, you can use emerald ore to make it like the particles are dripping and not just floating around.

If you need light under water just use a Jack-o-Lantern. I use then when I need to light my rivers up and they are easier and cheaper to make then most other options. And you don't need to go to the nether to get them.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="570">9:30</a> To fix that, you can use dark oak ones to fit the darkness of the cave, as long as they don't use torches...

For anyone else interested, on bedrock edition instead of using pistons to make an opened barrel, if you open it while going into a nether portal, the texture changes to an open barrel

The walls as a wall is actually something I did recently and I'm actually amazed people don't use them in build often

These are the ones I would be most likely to use.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1620">27:00</a> As a chess player I know that white square is on the right-down corner. It's surprisingly common to see it wrong in movies, same as in this video. Also the black king seems to be in d8-square instead of e8 where it belongs to.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="849">14:09</a> In bedrock, you can also use void structure by commands so it doesn't need to make it all the way to the roof

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1799">29:59</a> Fact 95: If you use Invisible Item Frames, it will be even more convincing

Actually to get the permanently open barrel, you just have to hold the use button while panning over it. I use it in my builds.

The darker wood underwater technique also works well for showing stepped on vs unused stairs, for instance. And for paths across rock, substitute cobble and gravel to show the wear.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1280">21:20</a>. You can actually make open barrels in bedrock by simultaneously right clicking it and opening your inventory. When you exit it, the barrel should be open. It sometimes takes a few attempts though.

for build trick number 78 you could use end portal blocks if your world is creative or you're building in the end. But for survival, I'd recommend the skulk blocks

neat addition to the armor stand chest treasure one: use a trapped chest and redstone lamp so it will light up when opened, perfect for your next zelda dungeon

i love your daily runs, there so entertaining! i just started playing binding of isaac and your videos gave me some knowledge in the game and what items and good and what not and some stragigies. prob my favorite binding of isaac youtuber

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="329">5:29</a> Yoo I already used it but in mud brick version. I remember I was honestly shocked because it looked really good. I love these hacks. Simple, fun to do and efective :D

Here's an entire summary of the video: Stairs, waterlogged slabs/stairs, item frames/invis item frames, and armor stands rule the entire world of decoration for minecraft

i would actually recommend using the trident in a couldron instead, just to give it the more realistic "large mop bucket on wheels" look.

Wow, that is a huge amount of useful tricks. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for making these amazing videos that help us all out! I'm impressed by just how much effort you put in every video! Keep it up! ❤

For 68 on bedrock survival mode u can also do that if u open it it sometimes happens not all the time though it's really rare to get

“*or barriers on java” We have barriers on bedrock... but structure void is better for situations like rails since it has no player collisions.

DEFINETELY use the honey block under villager trick, its incredibly helpful! also, i dont know if you can do this, but also try doing it with mobs. might be helpful when your capturing mobs for something (or someone💕)!

I've honestly been using walls instead of blocks for my builds for years. My friends thought I was weird 😂.

I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos, Keep it up!💛

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="930">15:30</a> You can do the same thing to create a coffee table you just have to rotate one of the two part.

The end rod fluorescent lights look so much better with a resource pack that removes the ends (like vanilla tweaks)

Its cool that both editions have there own features to themselves, java with timed combat, slab crouching and crawling and bedrock with crossplay, potion cauldron, armor stand arms and some other stuff that i forgot

For the replacing floating block trick you don’t need to have the block in your offhand.

I love your videos skip! i use alot of these build hacks in everyday things in minecraft. Keep Creating Amazing Content!

Skip never fails to create the best minecraft content!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="280">4:40</a> you can throw one in a hay stack to look like pitchfork. Or in an item frame on a table to look like a normal fork.

I found a way to make covered (or open, whatever you prefer) windows with the birch trap door and blinds. Face the trapdoors so the brown button at the bottom are touching. Or to make it look realistic, put them so the brown buttons are both facing down. Another way to cover your windows is to make blinds. Use glass plains, then cover them with the Crimson trapdoor (make sure its lined up straight ACROSS, NOT up and down) to make the illusion of blinds. Then when you crouch, you can look out the blinds like in movies. Have fun with these window tips. 😊

Using the campfire smoke and the loom block as a vent. Use it for a escape room to make it seem like there's gas leaking inside. Then pair that with pistons to move layers of the roof and shoot poison potions down and you got a good saw map idea. Maybe use those potion arrow particals to your advantage too!

I found a really fancy simple and inexpensive chair design. You put down a slab on the ground, a door on the back, trap doors on the sides and of all things a sign post above the slab on the door. Now this works best with two different wood types but it still looks really cool warped for the sign and slab look best for me. also does anyone else see spiders in the black and red tericota or nemo fish in the blue orange taracota? might be a story telling ability there. might be fun to explore.

fun fact: when skip the tutorial is setting the banner on the map the spruce floor is made of barrels too!

Just get a dark oak sign and then keep on placing them around the deep dark or ancient cities on the deepslate. That would be much cooler. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="552">9:12</a>

Number 48 is intriguing. I want to try making that in survival, complete with decorations.

for number 17 you might need a friend who never logs on to throw the trident, that way you dont pick it up every time you walk next to it.

For those who don't know, there are ways to make map art without using chunks or at least more than one. No chunks: There are applications that can "edit" a world NBT files, including map data One chunk: do a map art, and "lock" it with a glass pane in a cartography table, and then make another map in the same chunk and modify the chunk, the locked map will not change

I've got one! If you have a melon farm, you can scatter in muddy mangrove roots to make it look like some are dead and rotting.

IDK if this is a good build idea, but you could use scafolding as tables, I've done that before in some of my builds and it looks nice to me.

The wall made out of walls is something that i always did since the walls were added into the game and I'm verry surprised to see that its considered as a "build hack"

107 with the Minecraft draws (I am on java), it didn't work for me at first, but if you put a top slab (using a piston) you can make it work.

I love your build hacks, they are very simple yet effective

I love these little hacks! Your videos are great for background noise while playing the game too!

Instead of using pistons to open a barrel on bedrock you can just hold down the use item button and move your cross hair onto the barrel.

Very cool! Many ideas I want to use. Thanks yo!

Vanilla is so full of great ideas. As for myself, I use mods than makes most of these useless. But it's fun to see them anyway !

Hey skip! Could you make a java edition build hack video with armor stands? Thanks.

Word of warning, speaking from experience, using too many signs for building can lag your game out since they're considered tile entities rather than regular blocks

You can use the leaves of the new tree ( i forgot the name ) to make a nice pattern for the leaves of a tree ex: dripstone blocks as bark,any leave you want and then the ones from the new tree,it makes ir kinda cool

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1342">22:22</a> I’ve managed to do that glitch except with placing barrels. If you don’t like the texture, you can always open the barrel instead of breaking it.

if u take a plant pot/any other item u use for plants u can put a brown candle on it and then put leaves on top another way to do it: have invisible armour stands hold sticks and then put leaves on top

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1977">32:57</a> & <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3256">54:16</a> Is actually aesthetically useful for that lantern

I want to know how to make that super smelter for ancient debris. Any step by step tutorial videos out there?

I found out that in Bedrock Edition, using the /Setblock ~~~ *insert block* command allows blocks to float in midair (excluding sand) if you are trying to replace the "air" block with a different block. I've tried it on Potato crop, sweet berry bush, lantern, and coral

For the glowing eyes one, you should use dark oak signs instead of oak ones!

U can use acacia and mangrove roots to make a dead tree using the roots as leaves I used it for my base pretty convincing!

this is the perfect type of video i been looking for please make more!

scaffolds aren't only good for building but they can be used as lifts in big builds like I use them for my towers along my wall in Minecraft

My biggest issue with building is that I'm not happy with things that aren't things, being those things.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="884">14:44</a> I have a great idea that expands on this design. You could put a painting behind it. It would make for a pretty well-hidden room, right?

Using Blocks, commands and armour stands you can make a giant build of the Solar System as using them for moons and asteroids!

You can also use kelp that is near the surface instead of lily pads bc they are only in swamps they aren’t that common

Thanks To this guy now my mini village looks better! 🎉

I'd appreciate it if you mentioned which of these could cause TERRIBLE lag. Like the armor stands...

"We used walls as walls" The floor here is made out of floor

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="832">13:52</a> You can also use explosion particles if you aren't in survival to make a splashing effect

The 1 thing I wanna know is why bedrock editions water is so murky and hardy to see past the surface whereas before 1.19 I could see very well 🤔

I thought most of these were common knowledge. Damn I should make a channel doing the same thing as you are... it's sad I don't learn much from your content

You can use difrent types of fences to make that same mineshaft in older versions

okay, that armor stand one was really cool and I am so glad it actually works on PS3 too.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3185">53:05</a> you can also highlight the pathway with blocks lock the map with glass panes and then destroy the blocks after

Note: item frames, signs and pressure plates can only overlap in java, not in bedrock. (learned that the hard way)

I used the broken down door hack and surprisingly it's pretty cool if you wanna make a Zombie Apocalypse!

I thought everyone knew the end rod trick which becomes tubelight with levers

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2020">33:40</a> You can also rename the minecart w/ chest to help sort

You can also put any type of ore behind the vines for different kinds of berries (not coal though)

I don’t even know how to build well in Minecraft but I still watch your videos because they’re entertaining, and hopefully I might be able to use these one day! great vid

If you want a tree with branches, place blocks 3+blocks high around a sapling then use bone meal

Besides a water fountain in effect are used for arrows of water breathing is for multiplayer if you have arrows of water breathing and a bow along with one and only one potion of water breathing you can drink the potion of water breathing yourself and shoot your friend with the arrow of water breathing so you both get the effect of water breathing without needing two potions also it means you don’t have to craft splash potion of water Breathing to give your friend the water breathing effect from a distance

When you need a realistic bridge you can use wood stairs and put them the right way up

Btw, use those swords as a way to make the Game of Thrones Iron Throne. Looks just as intimidating as you'd think.

Skip: you're probably not building a house out of melons. Wadzee: ...

Thanks for making this video! It’s so creative and useful

Hey man here is a tip so a camp fire the particles can go through one block so what I like doing is putting a campfire under a smoker Then at The top of the ceiling I put a couple of spruce trap doors so it cannot be seen where it is going

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="953">15:53</a> On Bedrock edition when it snows the trees in that Biome gain white leaves during the snow storm, sadly when it ends the trees go back to normal

when building i use a surprising amount of structure void blocks, mostly to make water less annoying.

y'know now that they added actual empty bookshelfs number 169 isnt as useful but is still pretty cool.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much time and effort Skip The Tutorial puts in these videos? It's unbelievable! Those videos never fail to entertain me 😉🏆💪💪

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1105">18:25</a> I'm saving this because I'm actually going to use this for one of my builds 😊

can you change color of the letters on the wooden signs? So the nail looking symbols could look metallic rather than just a small square?

For the lining on the wall use blocks with slabs

You can also use the mini tree as a food source

I like turning a loom to the side and placing it next to bookshelves so it looks like an empty bookshelf. Won’t make as much sense in 1.20, but oh well

Love your content, you always come up with something new! Keep it up! Edit: I realized most have actually been shown on his other videos. None the less, the content is entertaining. Besides, I didn't remember any of this untill watching the video, so its still useful!
