Minecraft FEATURES nobody uses

Mushroom Island is far from useless. It's perfect for an endgame base: mobs don't spawn on it, it's easy to terraform and the grass is bright green, perfect for building.

The clock is mandatory for me, I never feel comfortable in a new Minecraft world until I've made a clock and stuck it in the corner of my hotbar. The reason? I hate the night and I hate hostile mobs. If I've been toiling away in the mines for hours the last thing that I want to do when I come up for air is to get attacked by a creeper topside. This is multiplied by 100 if I'm fiddling around near a town that I haven't lit up every square inch of and walled up - while I'm fooling around indoors or underground the whole village could be getting massacred. Truly the secret to a healthy (Minecraft) life is a rock solid sleep routine.

charcoal is definitely not even close to un-used. coal can be hard to find in the latest updates for the first while.

I actually like that charcoal feature. It's a good way to optimize furnaces sense you can just grow trees.

I always use the charcoal feature because it means I can get torches within the first 2 minutes of playing. It means I don’t have to waste time looking for coal when I should be spawnproofing the area and building a shack for the night

I feel like chainmail would be immediately more useful if you were able to combine it with other armor sets to give a further boost in durability, kinda like how chainmail IRL was more of a layer you would wear instead of your sole armor set.

They should make Desert Wells only generate in deserts where there’s no water for like 100 200 or 300 blocks

For the spectral arrow, Piglins can trade it to you in bulk, making them useful earlier game.

I have a theory that desert wells serve as a tutorial of such to new players, showing them how to make infinite water sources, like how jungle temples show off basic Redstone and traps or how ruined portals give a hint on what a nether portal looks like

Potion of Turtle master is actually really helpful if you wanna try to kill the Warden. Still pretty niche use but definitely useful if you wanna take on that challenge.

It’s funny that you mentioned the clock because any time I go mining I have a clock on me so I know if it’s daytime up at the surface. If it isn’t, I’ll mine until morning.

For the spectral arrows, if you encounter the Warden, you can shoot it to see it through the blindness effect

Spectral arrows are crafted with one arrow (annoying to get) and glowstone (easy and plentiful) and give you two arrows in return. They let you double your arrow count and give you a spectral bonus to see targets. They are a must and even give you a neat bonus!

Charcoal is actually pretty useful. It’s great for the early game when you haven’t done a lot of mining yet, especially if you plan to build using stone bricks or smooth stone.

„Painting leather armors has no use” Bedwars: am I a joke to you?

Alternate title: VirtualAct knows one way to play minecraft, assumes that’s how everyone else plays

I feel like the mushroom islands are a great place to build a base, as they have a very lush grass colour (as well as water). Also, the mushroom cows are a great renewable food source early game.

I personally use the furnance minecart, It's actually really helpful to move villagers or mobs, instead of using powered rails just use a cheap furnance minecart and one coal.

Desert Wells aren't that useless anymore, since you can find suspicious sand around it.

I love how both of the mobs we got in the recent mob votes (glow squid, sniffer, armadillo) and the frog would make their way here cuz all they do is add niche decor or a tiny change
