Hello, Danielpark5 here. Today it's not redstone, sorry. However... I just wanted to share some facts that many people would enjoy looking into, and things that most people would NOT know about Minecraft. Let's get into it, shall we?

Please do not be sharp about the photoshop work. I did not have time to even take good care of the work. Sorry.
Thank you everyone for bringing this map up to 50+ diamonds and to pop reel.

Squashman and I took time to collect many facts. Here is a link to his profile: Profile of Squash
Peter gave me an awesome, mindblowing fact. Here is his link: Profile of Peter-

Geek Facts
1) Mob Spawners will spawn only 6 mobs if the mobs are in the 16x16x8 (length x width x height) cube area around the mob spawner. Take them out of the range and make them spawn over 6.

2) Villages merge when the closest doors from village A and village B are less than or equal to 64 blocks distance apart and will become one 1 village instead of 2.

3) This is how you can look into your personal logs. For instance, you caught somebody using cuss words in the Planet Minecraft server, or insulting conversations. If you need "Proof" for the moderators, then this is how to get your proof. Go to the .minecraft folder, click the log folder, and click on the log that was recorded on the day when it happened. There are multiple logs of the same date, so you might have to search a bit for just the right log.

4) You can get a secret block called the smooth double stone slab with the following command:
/give (username) 43 1 8

5) You can't lure animals in the end with wheat.

6) Stacked Snow Layers adjusted to the height of a snow block do not count as a Snow Block and will be washed away with water unlike the snow blocks.

7) Sugar Cane does NOT grow faster on sand.

8) These are 2 ways on how I obtain food underground.
-Make a fishing pole, drop down a water source block and fish in the full source block.
-Punch one zombie to death. It will spawn more zombies and you will gain many rotten flesh.

9) Silk Touch Shears do not lose durability when a glass is being broken.

10) Mobs try to avoid walking on rails.

11) Dragon Eggs are falling sand entities. Therefore you can obtain them through placing a torch under the supporting block holding the dragon egg, then breaking the supporting block.

12) Spawn Chunks are always loaded unlike other chunks which are unloaded when you are not near.

13) If an item is thrown into the nether portal and into the other dimension, then where the nether portal is constructed on the other side's chunk will be loaded for exactly 1 minute.

14) Press F3 + b to know the hitboxes of every single entity. (Special Thanks to Peter- and Squashman)

15) If you push boat into land they can destroy snow. (Special Thanks to Squashman)

16) Skeletons and Zombies do not burn in sunlight when they stand on soulsand.

17) TNT can destroy lava.

18) Mushroom blocks can be used as fuel. (Special Thanks to Squashman)

19) You can repair Chain Armors with iron ingots on an anvil. (Special Thanks to Sqaushman)

20) You don't need to completely craft a compass or a clock to see what time it is or what direction you need to go. Just put the recipes in the crafting table, and it will show you even if you haven't crafted it.

I used to go on the .minecraft folder and enabling the advancedtooltips, and I learned that you can do that instead not long ago. Well. I love that shortcut :D Tnx

You can also see player's hitboxes. In the inventory, the F3+b hitbox is above your head.

When you surround a source block with a block all the way, the water is 2 pixels below the top of the block. When you take out the corner blocks, it's 3 pixels below.

mining a silverfish block with a silk touch pick gives you the block and releases the fish

e.g. silverfish in a stone block yeilds 1 stone block and 1 silverfish
