Bedrock Item

...Ever wanted to create an indestructible house so creepers can't blow it up anymore? How about an inescapable trap for that one friend? Luckily for you, getting bedrock as an item was possible in many different versions.

End Portal Frame Item

...Have you ever wanted to create end portals anywhere in your world as easily as you can nether portals? Maybe inside your base? Fortunately, it was once quite easy to acquire this highly valuable item.

The Killer Bunny

...In some 1.8 snapshots, killer bunnies could naturally spawn in the world. These rabbits are lethal enemies, yet remain unused, even today. If you want to fight a rabbit, or have a deadly pet, here's how you can do just that.

The Far Lands

...An oversight that created one of the most famous Minecraft glitches of all time, a massive and fantastical wall of incredible terrain existing at the very edges of your world.

Spawner Item

...Ever wanted to create the ultimate XP grinder with any number of spawners? By now, you should already know that it's possible.

Nitwit with Trades

...We all know how useless and annoying nitwits are, so why not give them a use? How about a nitwit that trades with you?

Spawn Eggs

...That's right, spawn eggs are possible to get in survival: sort of.

God Horse

...Do you think horses are too slow? Too weak? Maybe they don't jump high enough? Why not get a horse that can run 126 blocks per second, jump 34 blocks high, and has as much health as the ender dragon?

Water in the Nether

...Have you ever fallen into lava, maybe walked into a fire, or a blaze got the best of you? You try to put water down and put yourself out, only to remember, "Oh yeah." No longer are the days of burning to death in the Nether being a problem.

Formatted World Name

...If you didn't know, you can make your world name colorful, glitchy, bold, italicized, and more.

Permanent Wandering Trader

...Do you think wandering traders are annoying? Well if not, you can keep them forever now.

Villager Chicken Jockey

...Have you ever wanted a villager to ride on top of a chicken? No? Too bad.

Cross World Commands

...This is a rather controversial feature that allows commands to be run for a short time in any world, but if you don't care...

Wiki History

...A complete history of the wikis origins, development, and inspirations. Moving into the future, the wiki will continue to develop and grow, and will have a more extensive and detailed history as a result.
