A few of the tips are to do with the new additions to Minecraft in the Caves & Cliffs Update, like being able to fill cauldrons with dye and right-clicking on them with leather armour to dye the armour. But quite frankly, the idea of a cauldron filled with green liquid mostly gives us ideas for a spooky witch's cottage. You can also fill those cauldrons with potions, and right-click with arrows in your hand to put that effect on the arrows.
The trick that might blow you away the most is a Bedrock Edition specific one: placing redstone dust on the ground will change the player's forward-facing block. Normally, you're not able to place a block directly in front of you unless there's one underneath it, but by doing this redstone dust trick, you'll be able to put a block wherever you want, making it much easier to build bridges over the lava in the Nether and the chasms of the End.
And did you know that fire aspect enchanted books can SET THINGS ON FIRE? At least, it looks like they can light TNT – which means you can be a hero blowing things up with nothing but a book. According to the comments, this also works with Silk Touch books – meaning that you can mine ice and grass blocks with the book – but I'm not sure it's a good idea to trust YouTube comments, so you'll have to try that one out for yourself.
Not all the tips are about being a cool Minecraft player, though. Some of them are more about not making yourself look like a terrible Minecraft player. For example, be honest: how many times have you fallen into lava while mining obsidian? Is it a lot? TheDerpyWhale has a great suggestion that's so obvious I can't believe I never thought of it before: pour out a water bucket onto the ground, and mine from inside the water. The flow will instantly turn lava beneath you into cobblestone before you get swept in. Genius! I guess I don't know everything about Minecraft after all.
