28 facts about Minecraft

Or what you might not know

As in any game, Minecraft has quite a lot of secrets, Easter eggs, references and interesting moments. In this article, I want to show and tell you about them.You may have already seen some of the facts presented, so please do not focus on this.

1. Initially, the Creeper was not a mob - it appeared as a result of an error when creating a pig. Later, the texture was changed and the ability to explode was added.

2. The snow golem has a face behind a pumpkin mask.

3. With a 0.01% chance, the name with the error "Minceraft" will appear in the main menu instead of the large inscription "Minecraft".

4. The language of the Wanderers of the Edge (Endermen) is English backwards.

5. The workbench in the Minecraft world can be used as a compass - there will always be a texture with a saw and a hammer on the northern part of it, regardless of the player's position at the time the block is installed.

6. All cows in Minecraft are female, as they all give milk.

7. A pig can be turned into a pigzombi if it is struck by lightning.

8. And if you hit a Creeper with lightning, it will become charged. The force and radius of the explosion will be increased.

9. It is impossible to hit a Wanderer of the Region with an arrow from a bow, a snowball or an egg. You can't drop an anvil on it either.

10. However, if you shoot an arrow with an effect at him, then even though the arrow will not hit the mob, he will still get its effect.

11. The chest cannot be set on fire or moved by a piston.

12. An Ifrit trapped in a web cannot shoot. It can also be damaged by snowballs.

13. The spawn of Slugs depends on the phase of the moon - most of them will be on the full moon, and on the new moon the spawn of Slugs is suspended.

14. The hieroglyphs in the enchantment table are not spontaneously drawn letters, but a real cipher that makes sense.

15. Creepers, although they do not have hands, are still able to climb stairs.

16. There is a misconception that obsidian cannot be broken by hand. This is not true - in this case, it will take 4 minutes and 10 seconds to destroy it. However, after breaking it, it will not fall out, since, accordingly, it can only be extracted with a diamond pickaxe.

17. Never sleep in the Lower World. When interacting with the bed, it will explode and you will receive damage.

18. In the earliest versions of the game, a quiver could fall from skeletons with a small chance. He allowed archery without wasting arrows. This item was soon removed, and the "Infinity" enchantment was added with the same effect.

19. A cactus in the house can be used instead of a trash can - when a dropped object touches it, it disappears.

20. By renaming a mob using a tag, using the names "Grumm" or "Dinnerbone", you will reverse the game model of this mob.

21. If you rename a large or medium slug, then by killing it, smaller slugs will also keep the name given to the "ancestor".

22. The most interesting thing about tags: if you rename a sheep to "jeb_", then it will shimmer with a rainbow color. Jeb_ is the nickname of one of the game developers.

23. A little bit about the developers: Notch and Jeb_ (Markus Persson and Jens Bergensten, respectively) were included in the 100 most influential people on the planet in 2013 according to Time magazine.

24. The concept for a black and white cat in Minecraft was a real Jens cat - Newton.

25. The smallest mobs in the game are a baby turtle, a scaly Edge and a bat.

26. If you die in battle with Gast, or be in his field of vision at the time of death, he will still shoot at you until you are reborn.

27. Putting a pumpkin on your head, you can safely look at the Wanderers of the Edge - they will not attack you.

28. Usually with skeletons, the bow is in the right hand, but with a 5% chance it can appear in the left.
