7:45 Grain: “What do they need all this size for!?” Also Grain: builds two enormous mansions, builds a skyscraper while purchasing an equally as large skyscraper.

“It doesn’t make sense how all of these pillagers can live in a huge mansion!” *Grian casually living in a massive mansion alone*

For the lead one, I think Mojang wanted it to look like it’s attatched to a belt or something so you can do something else just like in real life, hence the “going into the side of the player”

and to note, if you throw an item, youre shrinking it *atomically* which means if you have something heavy enough, you can create a black hole

The fact that you can both open a shulker box and a lift yourself with its lid while standing on it. But, to open a chest with a cat on it is a herculean feat.

Grian-"an absolutely enormous house for such a tiny thing" Also Grian- live in a giant mansion

Here's another one. When you place a bucket of water, it spreads out and can create hundreds of blocks of water. It can go on forever! But when you pick up a tiny bit of that water, only one block, it all disappears.

I feel like the water thing might be because, in earlier versions. Water wouldn’t save you, but if you swam in it for too long and touched the ground(even at 1 block deep), you would take fall damage, sometimes even enough to kill you due to the game thinking you were falling. They fixed this bug, by making water stop fall damage. They likely could change it now, but the public outcry would be insane

You just know that Grian's disappointment over the dying chicken on a campfire not dropping a cooked chicken was inspired by the farm he built for Zedaph

"And look at the pillager's house! Look at the size for such a tiny thing to live in!" Grian's mansion:

actually the stonecutter one does kinda make sense. i do a little bit of stonework (faceting specifically), and the blades that are used to pre-form the stone before you start the rough cutting are a lot safer than blades that are meant to cut other materials. because they aren't serrated, they don't hurt if you touch them. the saw kinda works like a really narrow belt grinder. the diamond grit on the sawblade sands down a very thin (less than 3 millimeters ) section of the rock until it splits. so as long as you don't force your finger into the blade, it's pretty safe.

I'm sure lots of people have commented this but just in case, there's actually a cool thing with the quazi connectivity thing, where pistons only 'check' whether they are powered if you give them a block update, such as placing/destroying a block next to them. That means you can power them like you did at 1:26 and then break the redstone block and since it hasn't received a block update, it stays extended!

Eating when walking: woah now, gotta slow down. Eating when climbing a ladder with a shield in your off-hand: No problemo.

the fact that you can eat an entire cake faster than you can eat an apple is also a bit strange...

About the magna block, presumably the stones are not hot. Walking or running will have you step into the lava streams, but sneaking allows you to be careful and only step on the rocks.

There's also the fact that gravel and lanterns, which are both non floaty blocks, if placed correctly together can float.

Grian:So much space for such a little thing Grian's mansion: ...

"We need to talk about the strength of Wheat" We know Grain, you are strong.

Well actually, I'm pretty sure that pillager houses are so big because all of them live in one house.

I remember back when you needed up to 3 blocks of water to break your fall depending on the height. I was so confused when that changed and I first saw people doing mlg water buckets from crazy heights lol

At least the pillagers finished the back of their ridiculously large mansion. 🙃

One thing that doesn’t make sense to me is that if you use looting on a chicken, it will give you more than one of the chickens body

Grian: pillager houses are to big how needs that much space!? Also grian: **builds mountain, castles, futuristic skyscraper, and massive rocks floating in the sky**

3:06 the lapis lazuli is consumed to add a layer of enchanting on top of the blade, stronger enchants require more lapis obviously (and more experience to even apply the enchantment, thats why only 3 levels are used but 30 are required (in the case of max enchanting)). Thats why it is easily scraped off using a grindstone. Edit: This is also what makes the tools and armor glow afterwards.

A small bottle of honey: restores 3 hunger bars A big chug of milk: restores zero hunger bars

Me: *walks through berry bush* Ow, that hurts. Also me: *walks through rose bush* Ahh, the flowers smell nice.

Grian : Why do they need such a huge MANSION!? Also Grian in hermitcraft s7 : And the mansion is complete

A cauldron can save your fall, you’ll need to be super precise with the landing!

"This is the most aggressive block in the game!" Iskall: *Looks at diorite.

You can smelt ancient debris but it doesn’t get burnt in lava. Sense has been achieved

About the Stonecutter: Being that stonecutters are designed to cut stone, and not skin like most blades, it's actually fairly dull. So it wouldn't do much if you ran your hand across a stonecutter irl, either

The fence has a hit box bigger than it is to keep you from jumping it. The reason the carpet trick works again is hitboxes but restricting yourself to a 1x2 space makes it so you can't move up and over it. Probably won't be "fixed" cause it's to much work to account every scenario

“Redstone, it just doesn’t make any sense” *Mumbo has entered the discord chat*

Yall are thinking about this while steve can handle not sleeping for an infinite amount of nights like bruh

10:38 the way you said this one reminded me of those promo trailers for how to train your dragon (the one's where Gobber is talking about some of the different types of dragons) and I love it

9:51 Actually, the reason for that is because it's supposed to be like you're stepping carefully on the rocks so you're feet don't touch the lava (though... in real life it probably still would hurt).

He didn’t even mention the fact that when you make a cake it’s decorated without even having to add anything extra

Netherite doesn't gets destroyed in lava, BUT the same netherite kept in shulker box gets destroyed by lava/fire

Grian: Insults a pillager mansion. Also Grian: Let’s build a Mega Base on Hermitcraft and only use a few rooms.

Here's a little Minecraft history: The score seen when you die dates back all the way to 2009 classic survival test. This very old series of versions had a more arcade-like gameplay, where you would gain score by killing the mobs that spawned randomly. The score didn't do anything, it was just a number. When you died, your total score would be shown, and your only options were to generate a new world or load an existing save (they were online saves back then). Score was removed in Indev. Also, did you know that only in survival test, creepers actually attacked you instead of exploding, and they only exploded when they died? Crazy stuff.

“If a chicken dies, on a literal campfire...” *flashbacks to zedaphs chicken farm intensify*

I was confused why the stonecutter didnt deal damage for a while. Then I realised that all of the villagers would die if there was something in the village that did damage on its own

At 5:45 the cake, yes. From my 1,5 years of playing Minecraft, I still have no clue where the strawberrys on top of the cake comes from.

I just saw this, but Grian hates floating trees so much, that between the cuts in the intro, he actually replaced the log he broke

The fact that Ancient Debris can't melt in lava but melts in like 5 or 3 seconds in a blast furnace or furnace is also a bit STRANGE..

Real fans know Grian’s personal grudge with campfires not giving cooked chicken

10:56 the quick mention of a return of dom is great

One thing I have always wondered: Why does it take 6 full blocks to make only two trapdoors, the equivalent of half a block? :p If I were to change it, I would make it so that it required just two adjacent blocks to make at leasat 3 trapdoors, like with carpets. In my opinion, that would make a lot more sense. Obviously there's inconsistencies with crafting recipes, but this one always makes me run out of wood! xD

"you can milk cows infinitely" well that, and the fact that minecraft buckets have been worked out to hold 800+ litres

"And I'll see you in the *next episode* " He has recorded far too much hermitcraft I see

I know this video is like 2.3 years old or whatever, but i was bored and i wanted to create logic for these, even if it's just pulling it out of my bum 1. Lava-proof bucket burning in lava - the inside is lava proof, the outside isn't (ignore the fact that lava's dripping out of it on the sprite) 2. Redstone powering a block away - the block drips powder onto the block below it 3. Cactus being better than lava at destroying the hardest substances - items are allergic to cacti 4. Leads not being in your hand - the leads are supposed to be attached to a belt, since you can still hold other items while the lead is attached 5. The saw doesn't deal damage - it's a paper saw 6. Anvil block doesn't float but the item does - what did you expect when you turn a block into something that's 1/10 the size? 7. Disenchant items by grinding it off - you engrave words into the item to enchant it, so you can grind down the item to destroy the words 8. Animals don't drop cooked food by dying on campfires - the fire isn't hot enough, which is why it takes a considerable amount of time to cook food on it 9. Score - it's your experience bar.... that's... that's it... 10. Carpets get destroyed by water, pressure plates don't - hey buddy it's wood 11. Fish entities don't get caught by a fishing rod, rather a bucket - the ones you see swimming around evolved to be more than just items, they're aware of the rod and actively avoid it 12. Water breaking your fall with a single block - okay for this one i want to point out that "you'd expect at least 2 blocks to break your fall" isn't real at all, since i believe water irl would make the fall worse than if you were to just land on the ground, but for the sake of minecraft i'll just say that they needed a way to break falls and water is the consistent way to do that in video games 13. Baking a cake with the crafting table - what we do with the crafting table results in enough force and heat to just bake stuff, and the furnace kinda just blasts things into the next century with heat. 14. Glass not being insta-mineable with haste 2 - it's laminated glass 15. Pillagers getting a mansion while villagers get a normal house - this actually has a really cool lore reason that I don't want to type out here but I believe there's a game theory or 2 on it 16. Dripleaves don't fall when stuff like anvils are on them - blocks aren't entities 17. Cobwebs taking longer to punch than trees - it's an entire cubic meter of SPIDER WEB. the stuff that has stronger tensile strength than steel 18. We can "fly" up waterfalls - it's called swimming grian, the player is a gold medal winning olympic swimmer 19. Sitting in a boat negates fall damage, while standing doesn't - it's the jumping in an elevator theory, if you're in the air upon impact you're taking the amount of fall damage you'd take if you were just jumping off, meanwhile being grounded, whatever's beneath you will absorb a lot of the impact 20. Crops don't get trampled by anvils/sand, but they do by players - have you seen how much the player eats? 21. Crouching on coals don't hurt - it's the careful foot placement which actually works irl! other commenters mentioned it and apparently the mythbusters did a thingy on it 22. Cows don't run out of milk - yeah neither do i 23. You can bounce off of slime vertically but not horizontally - it's like a spring, it only squishes one way 24. Water in cauldrons kill while it otherwise doesn't - the cauldron's made of iron you're still falling on iron 25. Endermen are fine with water cauldrons - the endermen only get hurt when there's a specific volume of water, like how we can ingest small amounts of poison but a lot of it is a no go 26. Can't walk through a 2x1 gap where the bottom block is replaced with a gate - the player is like 1.8 blocks tall or something around there, and gates/fences are 1.5 blocks tall. so the gap in reality is 1.5 blocks 27. Pots float but lanterns break when the block under them breaks - clay is strong man what can i say there. now they make sense, for the most part.

Just watched this video for the 2nd time and I busted out laughing half way through..Grian, keep the good videos coming

Ancient debris. Doesnt smelt by lava, but EASILY gets smelted by a furnace.

Grian: “Pillagers really need a WHOLE MANSION to themselves?!” Grian in hermit craft: *has a massive mansion to himself*

the repair function of the grindstone makes perfect sense, as it can sharpen the tool just like a whetstone.

5:31 funny thing is, this used to be the case in the alpha version of the game, where you'd need 2 blocks of water to break your fall

Grian complaining about pillagers having a whole mansion me just thinking about hermitcraft season 7

Can we just talk about how you can fish pretty much ANYTHING from a SINGLE hole filled with water, Or the fact that water just suddenly appears in a stone wall out of nowhere and forms a waterfall

3:29 In a lot of fantasy worlds, enchantments or whatever causes that item to be magical, is actually a for of rune carving on the item, meaning if you scrape that rune off, it can become un-enchanted. (though... more times than not, if something is magical, it cannot be destroyed or damaged by simple means...)

Grain: These are things that don’t make sense in the world of Minecraft. Also Grain: proceeds to say things that make sense in Minecraft.

I like to think that sneaking over the "hot coals" is just the player revverting to kindergarten and going "don't step on the cracks", thus avoiding said hot cracks

Carpet:decorative Pressure plate:does red stone This is literally Grian and Mumbo

Grian: Why does Minecraft need a score? There’s no goal! Ender Dragon: Am I a joke to you?

Grian: *is on 3rd point* Also grian: *Already has mental breakdown*

Grian: „why pillagers need such a big house!?” Grain’s mansion in Hermicraft:

Falling without a boat? Dead Falling in a boat? Okay Falling in a boat on fire? Glide down to safety

Here are some other things that make no sense! Oak trees drop apples, irl they drop acorns, if you grow an azalea bush you don't get azalea wood, you get oak wood.

Statues, BATTLE ARENAS, dining and bed rooms, farms and prisons - that’s what pillagers need all this space for

“We need to talk about the relative strength of wheat” Grain, 2021

"what do they need all this space for?" *Builds huge mansion in HermitCraft*

Grian:doesn't make sence Redstoners:let's sit down and talk about budding

In bedrock there is a small chance that a fish can grab onto your fishing rod, so a bucket isn't the only option, but it is definitely the better one

All Grian's shower thoughts caught him in one massive flood

I think the theory for magma is that you're being careful and moving slowly, so instead of running across and accidentally stepping on the molten stuff, you're carefully moving across and making sure to only step on the cooler stones instead. Similar to how crouching stops you from falling

About the mansions vs village houses, I think it's telling about the npcs' personalities! Humble villagers vs greedy pillagers~

Grian: Im talking about the WORLD of minecraft, not real life Also grian: now imagine in real life...

Things that don't make sense in Minecraft: Grian: Enchants stone sword.

Grian: *Looks through a woodland mansion* Grian: There's a lot to unpack here, but let's just throw away the whole suitcase.

Definitely needs a part 2 video, I'd watch it w/ my friends and we'd definitely get a laugh

Also 5 dripstones: villager is still alive 1 pointed dripstone: ded

i like how we skip over the fact that we can carry only 36 leather jackets but at the same time we can also carry a incredible weight of gold or stone like nothing changes

Grian: these things make no sense *cut to bedrock edition where you can die just... because*

I can actually explain the fence gate thing! In the code, fences and fence gates register as a block and a half tall so players and mobs can't jump over them, which explains why you can't walk over them when there's a two block high ceiling - according to the game code, the fence block is half a block taller than it looks, so the space is only a block and a half tall and you need to crouch. (Can't explain why carpet doesn't fix it for a fence gate in that situation, though...)

Grian : the endremans are happy to set in a cauldren full of water Endermans : yes , we are :)

Your score is the amount of experience points you’ve had since your last death, to rub the pain of loosing 70 levels in your face even more :’D

One thing that doesn’t make sense building a mansion just to not do the back side

For magma blocks, when crouching, you probably are "avoiding" the hot areas, which is probably the reasoning

season 8: I CANT HANDLE SLEEPING steve: First time?

Netherite: I'm invincible That one prickly boi: I'm about to ruin this man's whole career

I think of Minecraft as the border between realism and abstract.

3:25 My theory is that enchantments are like runes that you carve into your tool that you can scrape off

Interesting and funny. I would love to see Minecraft Realistic some day. Including gravity, friction and other normal physics.

"The relative strength of wheat" is a phrase I never thought I'd hear but I now cannot live without. XD

Grian: You can't get through it, whatever you do. **sad crouching noises**

When you craft a brick block, it has cement, but there's no cement in the recipe

I just thought of a possible explanation for the walking on hot coals thing. There's a thing called fire walking, which is when a person walks across hot coals. I'm not sure how they do it off, but it's not just a trick. Maybe not getting hurt while walking on Magma blocks (Hot Coals) in Minecraft, can be seen as the same principle.

“What do they need all this space for” Grians mansion: nervous sweating

The fact that bees are bigger than parrots or chickens

Cobwebs are pretty stron in real life too. You never find a m³ of cobweb but if you did it would be pretty damn strong

I know a way to mess with your friends in Minecraft! If your friend has a 2 height space door. Just add a fence under the door and put a carpet on top and then they cant get through lmao
