Fun fact about axolotls: when the aztecs settled the valley of Mexico around what is now a city in the 13th century, they found a large salamander living in the lake surrounding the island where they built their capital, Tenochtitlan. They called the salamander “axolotl” after xolotl, their god of fire and lightning.

Genuinely surprised that shulker boxes weren't added in the 1.9 update. Just like, they fit in so now, I would've sworn they came in with the 1.9 End update.

3:56 who's that cheeky guy :o

Woah I’m early to a Block Facts video

Always amazed by the editing! Another great vid :)

This man really pulled up with the facts!!!

2:02 And it looks a little but sus >:)

Block facts does not upload often but when he does you know your gonna enjoy it especially because his videos are always edited well

fun fact: The old stonecutter was actually never removed from Pocket Edition or Bedrock Edition and can still be found in the creative menu to this day with its GUI and recipe removed.

5:40 i played minecraft while the invisibility icon was still like that

7:26 is that LDShadowLady??!

1:23 it kinda looks like a mini alligator

1:14 "The axolotls are not what they seem" Hmm...

8:42 Stone cutter??? i thought it was a freezer in pocket edition i always believe that it was a freezer but ok stone cutter it is

1:32 He tried-

Mojang: Has concepts for potential things to include. Block Facts: HOW DARE YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN THIS?!

Wait a minute…. When you were on the dolphin one I saw in the background and one of the photo things the dolphins were in lava❤️‍🔥

back in 1.18.1, i used to see drowned chasing after me in the water. whenever they bumped into a block, they would start sping around over and over again still in the swimming animation. i would get so bored i left them alone. it was fixed in 1.18.2 (i think, because it hasnt been happening lately) but drowned are still ridiculously slow. p.s, now that we're on the topic of drowned, i wanna take this moment to brag that i got a trident from a drowned with a stone sword, no looting enchant, no bow, and no cap. it was in terrible durability, but still a cool thing to brag about.

Imagine a new update that adds Biome Creepers. Creepers that change their appearance depending on what biome they spawn in. For Biome's without trees (like desert) they will instead take the appearance of the ground around them. I also think there should be a system that, if the creeper goes into another biome and a day passes; they should change to that biome creeper; like how bears and foxes fur changes colour.

The muffle at the honey block actually made me laugh😂 awesome vid bro

And funnily enough the bugged axolotl model actually looks more like the actual animal that the minecraft axolotl actually looks to be inspired from, the olm Edit, it looks like nobody understood this comment, i meant that minecraft axolotls are more similar to olms than axolotls

3:01 Block Facts: *_IM GOING TO GRAB YOU_*

2:23 I actually prefer the texture but it would ruin the purpose of bark blocks

4:24 NOOOOOOOOOO JAIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN DONT DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!

if you take the glitched axolotls,delete the eyes and make then more pale,they look like olms(long creatures that live in caves and look like axolotls but have no connection with them)

I miss technoblade..

6:52 that got coconut malled me

0:49 this is a cute a part😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

The first time i played mc and used the potion of invisibility, the disappearing player icon was still there so that explains why i always feel something dif abt the new mirror icon for this potion

The axolotl had a big change I know it was an accident but wow

I'm loving the more chill narration, feel so much less artificial, like you're actual a talking human now!

I remember the old Pocket Edition stonecutter. I was so confused when one day I went to craft it, and it was gone! 🤣

I love when you put the legacy edition minigame music in the backround. It gives me nostalgic vibes... (:

Remember when stonecutters were only 4 blocks of stone to craft

4:23 i like how he uses different people's skins when demonstrating something like here he used Jaden Animations Skin since she has a bird called Ari i really like his tiny little details

4:32 did anyone else catch this and smile? Just wanted to thank Block Facts for this little detail!!

4:12 @Parrot :V

new axolotl: - body is a 3d model - cute - 2d tail old axolotl: - 2d body (like the tail) - doesn't give the "cute" vibe - weird long mouth

1:25 i SURELY am not the only one that heard "giant tampon" the first time right?

I remember being so confused about why the old stone cutter didnt work

The amount of effort this man puts into his videos is insane. If you're a video/film editor you appreciate each frame even more.

Fun Fact : The pigs dropping mushrooms are a reference to how pigs have a good sense of smell, that they are used in getting truffles, a kind of fungi

7:35 so thats where testificate man came from

2:23 Honestly would've been a nice decoration block-

2:20 I wished they added the sides on. It added many building possibilities

I remember Playing the Pocket edition and using the old Stone Cutter to make stairs, slabs, etc.!

Really nice video. This the only time i have ever knew anything in one of these vids. I knew the coal block from the april fools update

I remember when the invisibility thing looked like a Partially invisible player-

Thanks for the suggestion of using cookies with parrots. I like it alot.

Love how he kept putting dinnerbone upside down

I remember experiencing number 36, it was quite the irregularity

Fun fact about the hopper : The hopper was made by a mod so Mojang Added that to the game

The Hog Rider is a rare card unlocked from Spell Valley. His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. A good placement and timing with Guards and The Log will fully counter the Hog Rider, canceling all Hog hits. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough.

5:40 is that a Stanley Parable reference?

5:56 looks kinda like these golden carrots xD

4:15 RIP parrot (2022-2022)

I remember trying to figure out how to use a stone cutter before they gave it the purpose of cutting stone

4:20 Jaiden why are you here

I saw an axolotl on a video that looked like that! They do exist it was on David Attenborough 😊

and when the world needed him the most, he came back

Can we just agree that Block Facts Puts So Much Effort In His Videos 👍 ❤

i thought the invisibility icon was still an invisible man lol!

Technoblade NEVER DIES

8:40 i remember this too

Knowing that not everyone knows these things makes me feel old

2:45 In 1.20, that issues is completely fixed.

I enjoy this story mode a lot ! 🥰🙌

Will you EVER bring back the Block / Mob facts? That’s what your channel used to be about and I think lot of people would like to see those videos again, at least every once in awhile. (Nonetheless your newer Content is also epic!!!😁)

Me: **sees a axolotl that their body is 10 pixels forward** Also me: **thinking about peashooter from plants vs zombies**

The funny thing is, my dad still has a world from way back when, and it has BOTH the nether reactor and the old stonecutter! (I accidentaly broke the nether reactor, RIP a relic from early minecraft :’( )

He may not post that often, but when he does, the videos are fire.

In education edition, the old stonecutter block can be placed with code commands

Fun fact if you look at the transparent sides of a slime(mob) and look at hoppers it makes it invisible

1:51 That is just straight up from Avatar.

The editing on this video is great. Even the way his voice gets muffled when he sticks his head inside the honey block

Olms should be added in the caves. Axalotls should be in oceans.

therapist: awkward axolotl isnt real, it cant hurt you. awkward axolotl:

5:40 I actually really thought the old invisibility icon effect was just the Steve but caged up before

1:17 its an olm now!

Team give us back the old zombie pig man 👇

it’s been so long since i’ve used an invisibility potion i didn’t even know the icon changed

"How can you be so dumb?! It can't even move!" Creator Connie (Me): LMAO!

8:18 the first and third don't look that bad, especially the first one

5:34 this is sus

The old texture for diamond blocks resemble the sea lantern.

No one’s gonna talk abt how they snuck is jaiden animation skin? That’s a good detail

Can we apriciate how hard they work just to entertain us!

Hi

They accidentally made the axolotls briefly into olms

Honestly for the diamond block the right one is the best looking one

Always amazed by the editing! Another great vid :)

2:11 gogy ✨✨✨

1:12 Fun Fact: Axolotl are not cave salamanders, the closest thing that looks like the water puppies is the Olm, which are belongs to the caves.

7:25 When Lizzie/Elizabeth Comes out of nowhere

Beeschurger?! 5:20

High quality video as always Block Facts 🤩

7:06 Remember that's not the only circle in minecraft (but it wasn't block tho)

Block facts does not upload often but when he does you know your gonna enjoy it especially because his videos are always edited well
