SimplySarc's top Minecraft hacks

I really enjoy SimplySarc’s videos about his discoveries of weird hacks and tricks in Minecraft and how they work.

Sure, they sometimes stop working after Jeb and the gang update the game, but they’re so clever and he explains them so clearly that, well, I just don’t care that I rarely get them working myself!

So I asked him to list his favourites. Thanks so much, Sarc! Science googles ON!

Designing custom blocks – inside the game!

One of SimplySarc’s most recent discoveries is making your own custom blocks without the need for texture packs and all within vanilla Java Minecraft! It’s complex and involves a lot of theory, but it really works.

“It’s cool because who hasn't thought about adding their own blocks to the game?! It works similarly to how banners and shields work, so you have a few ‘layers’ which you can change the texture and colour of. You can then lay them on top of one another to form something new. To create them you have to force a monster spawner’s ‘preview’ to hold a couple of remodelled leather boots on its head and arms!”
