Nice, thanks! I had just found out that planting wheat on dirt with another dirt block below that cultivated block will yield more seeds.
Also, a bucket of water is extremely effective at making a pool of lava safe. Just dump the water on the ceiling near the center of the pool, and the water will flow across and obsidianize the lava. I now take a bucket of water everywhere I go, it's saved my life in quite a few instances.
I'm trying to be original here and not complain about griefers and skin packs. This just seemed like the best time for me to post this. The forums need something to distract everybody from updates and stuff. we are all getting too excited over all of these updates and upcoming events so lets talk about minecraft facts!
Those are some fun facts. I'll watch the video for more too.
I don't know if this counts, and I'm sure most people might know this, but you can get infinite water if you take it from a large enough source. I kinda just accidentally found that while filling up a moat.

Yup, just make a 3x1 enclosed space, then fill the two outer blocks with water (leave the middle empty). The two water source blocks will fill in the middle block completely, as many times as needed. This doesn't work for lava, though

Thank you for explaining that. I knew how it worked but could never give an exact explanation like that. I actually tried with lava as soon as I found this out, but yes, unfortunately it doesn't work. I wanted to make a lava moat.
Ok, you got me there....but doesn't everything else pertain to the xbox version? Calling someone out on one single fact, out of eleven, is downright silly IMO. Sometimes It seems people look for fault like there's a reward, i swear.
EDIT: Anytime, 49er. I didn't know how it worked at first...like 90% of the stuff on here haha. im sure someone out there just learned, though, hopefully

I was just responding that there is, indeed, something in the list that might make someone think this is in the wrong section (as in, it should be in the PC section). That's all. And yeah, everything else (like most things Mincraft v 1.7.3) pertain to the XBox as well.

BTW, you will come to HATEHATEHATE Endermen.
You know, i've been hearing and fearing that, lately. Im actually one of those people that cant stand creepers, and play on peaceful solely to avoid them. I also heard that the PCs version nerfed the endearment to picking up only certain blocks, assumably ones of less value. I hope this carries onto the Xbox version. I really, really hope
Sorry for double-quote. and heres a probably well-known fact:
Putting a placeable object (i.e a torch, repeater, redstone wire) under a stack of gravel or sand will cause the blocks to fall and break over the item you placed below. I find this especially useful for gathering sand : )

Interesting. Also, a placed torch will also support gravel or sand placed over it. Combine this with a kind of "inverted pyramid" setup, so that one torch supports one block, which supports 3 blocks above it with more torches, and so on... add a piston to push the "keystone block" (which causes the torch to fall off), and you get a cascade effect, like you sometimes see when digging on a virgin beach.
Makes for a very impressive trap... an Indiana-Jones-type collapsing floor (over lava, natch).
This can also be used to create flood barriers when mining near bodies of water, as water will knock down the torch, dropping sand or gravel to stem the flow.

Indeed, I'm starting to get quite bored of these forums since theirs usually nothing but noobs that are posting who haven't saw that exact same post 10 million times. I wish our usualls in this section posted threads more often.

2. It takes 10 minutes and 40 seconds to smelt a 64 stack of something.
3. Sneaking effects your reach distance
4. Most of the endermans sounds are people saying "Hi", "Hello", and "What's up?" reversed, slowed down and distorted.
5. Zombies and skeletons on soul sand don't burn during the day
6. Shears don't take durability damage when destroying wool
7. Cacti will destroy items
8. Using a tool for a different use than it is intended to will decrease it's durability by 2 points instead of 1
9. Roses are rarer than dandilions
10. Rain and snow cannot be seen through glass that is being broken
11. Pumpkins are more difficult to find than dimonds
Want more facts? Is where i found all these! hope you enjoyed:)

2. Good to know!
11. Cheers to that... I get more excited finding pumpkins then I do diamonds haha
I think you seem wrong. Whats so off-topic about a topic discussing Minecraft's fun facts?

#4 talks about Endermen, which we don't have yet.
But will soon... there are a lot of posts with stuff like that on this forum.
