BUSTING 100 Minecraft Myths in Real Life!

minecraftminecraft in real lifemythbustingPrestonPrestonPlayzchallengestuntsgamingIRLscience experiment

In this video, Preston and his friends test various Minecraft myths and game mechanics in real life. They build a large, interactive set designed to look like the game, complete with pixelated blocks, a Nether portal, and an End portal frame. Throughout the video, they conduct experiments such as the MLG water bucket drop, comparing weapon speeds, and attempting a five-block jump, with each myth tested contributing an "Eye of Ender" towards their goal of "beating Minecraft." The video combines comedic stunts, real-world physics tests, and special effects to determine which parts of Minecraft are fact and which are fiction.

Transcription

If you dig straight down in Minecraft, you will die because eventually you'll hit lava. Welp, no lava here. Minecraft is filled with seemingly impossible stunts that you can only pull off in your dreams. But can you survive the MLG water bucket challenge, but in real life? Water bucket! Am I alive? If you break an ice block, it turns into a water block. I just see snow, honestly. I just see, I just see snow. For every three myths we try, we get one Eye of Ender to add to our End portal. 'Cause we're trying to beat Minecraft. The speed of an arrow out of a crossbow is supposed to be faster than that of a bow. And fire! Oh! Crossbow. Yes! It was faster and more accurate. It was faccurate. you proud of yourself, Preston? Tridents are more accurate than bows. Ready? Shoot. That was in the middle, I'm not even joking. This is like my childhood dream come true in this video. It's so fun. In Minecraft, you can only make a four-block jump. So we're going to see if in real life, you can jump five blocks. You don't want to go? What, me? Just be careful. Never. Oh! Dude. I'm okay. Minecraft! Oh my jeez. Scott's the only person who could potentially break the five-block jump myth in real life. Can he do it? Can he do it? Oh, not the cobblestone. Busted. Cannot do a five-block jump in real life. Two Eyes of Ender down, ten to go. Just wait to see all the myths we're going to try in this video. It's going to be sick. In Minecraft, you can actually collect watermelons faster if you use a sword compared to anything else. Three, two, one. Oh my gosh, and those are like eatable slices. Very edible. Look at that. Thank you God for this melon. And Notch. Obviously, axes break doors faster than swords, but does it work in real life? What? You got to get through. What is this, a hundred layers now? What? That was no axe-ident. Can you shoot an arrow through fire in Minecraft and get a fire arrow? I'm going to hold it. All right. Ready? I try. Oh, ooh! It did catch on fire. Do snowballs put out fire? Oh! But do they hurt people? Yeah, yeah. They hurt people. Most paintings actually have a secret room behind them. So Chase, can you-- No, a little bit harder. What? It worked! Every time you press a stone button, somebody subscribes. Hey, there's one. Oh hey, there's another one. Hey! Hey! We're almost to 20 mil. Keep on clicking. Now that's thinking with your head. In Minecraft, if you use a flint and steel or a fire aspect sword on a cow, it drops cooked beef. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Who gave him the eyes? Back up real quick. I have flame aspect. Oh! That's flame aspect three for you. I don't see any steak. No, I just see-- Oh! What? That's a little well-done. It cooked. It's good. Hey! Let's go! Cobblestone generators are used with lava and water. Science. Can we make cobblestone? Whoa, dude. Boiling right. Look, it's still on fire on the inside. I don't know if I can make a house out of that. Do we have cobblestone? Oh! No way! Are you kidding me? We did it! Wait, is that iron? Silver stone? You guys can decide below. Is that cobblestone? I mean, if a block's on fire, you can cook a chicken on it. It's in the fire. It's getting crispy, Preston, quick. Come on, I'm hungry, Preston. Oh, great. I'm so hungry. I think it's edible. Oh, nice. Oh. Ah, wait, wait, hold on. Cut that skin off. I think it's genuinely, that looks good. Look at that. I'm not dead. It's actually not bad. Not bad. We'll check back with you guys in two days to see if Chase has salmonella. In Minecraft, you can't block potions with shields, but we got a couple witches over there, so we're going to see if it works in real life. So far, so good. In fact, the potions aren't even popping. I think that was successful. In Minecraft, you run faster on ice, but does that work in real life? Oh, I beat you. I so beat you. Boats are faster on ice than they are on the ground. Oh! You're right. I think that listen, that wasn't horrible. Fortune hoes yield a better crop. Wait a second, we got a lot of potatoes. I didn't even see this many at the supermarket. Yep, I've never seen you with a hoe like that. You can use water to harvest crops. Busted. Applying fire protection to your diamond armor will protect you from fire. Enchant. Oh, nice. Enchanted. That's kind of working, dude. That's my favorite book. No, no, no, not the book! You can build a portal to the Nether with obsidian blocks. It's done, dude. I portal'd myself. 10 obsidian blocks, four cobblestone blocks, and now you just got to use your flint and steel. Whoa! Oh, that's insane. Hey guys, check this out. Uh, I can see it from the back. Oh. Whoa. Whoa. Oh, I'm clear. This is like being in the hospital on anesthesia. This is intimate. Preston? Guys? Guys? Did they-- It didn't work. Can I get a flint and steel? Ghasts can't blow up cobblestone. We should, we should get down. Uh oh, wait, that's bigger than I thought it was. Oh my gosh! Whoa, whoa, whoa! I think it's protecting us. It just bounces off everything else. I nether want to do that again. Just you and me, guys. We're going to continue this in the Overworld. There's a 12% chance you could spawn a chicken throwing an egg. Let's see. Second egg. All right, busted. No chicken. Fire makes nether wart grow faster. Are you guys sure this is in Minecraft? You know what, I think I've done it before, actually. I don't see them growing. Actually destroyed most of them. Next myth, I'm going to be testing if you can burn wood and get charcoal. There we go! Wait. This isn't the smartest thing to have. So I think I have burned it. Uh oh. I need an adult. Sleeping in a bed in the Nether makes you explode. You're going to-- I'm married. Well, I'm married too, so. Well, I've been married longer. That's fair. Oh, okay. I think you'll be okay. Making cakes in Minecraft. Three wheat, two sugars, and one egg. Three milks. And then you just go over to your naturally spawned microwave and then you just close it. I feel like this really could work. Chase, you know we're on our lunch break, right? Where did you get the cake? I bought it. Can I have some? Oh. You can definitely place water down in real life. Can witches burn in lava? Good thing I have this witch spawn egg. And we're just going to yeet. Hey! All right, so we have our witch. Let's see if she's going to burn in the lava. I told you for the last time, I'm not a witch, bro. Okay, so clearly the witch is speaking in a language I don't understand. Ow! I got like poison potions... Okay, if I can't burn her, how am I going to kill her? Can a hay block prevent you from taking fall damage? Why am I doing this, Steven? Three, two, one. Oh, that's the boat. All right, well, I didn't take any fall damage, just from the boat. All right, so the next myth is can a snow block prevent fall damage? Parkour! Oh! Confirmed. Wow, this is a deep cave. So it's definitely real fire right here. This is, this is definitely not fake fire. No, that's not the way. Oh, that's not the way? To the left right here. Oh! Right. Yeah, hey that opens. Guys. We've been uh, we've been trying to look for the stronghold, right, Scott? Yeah. How do we uh-- Wait, you're down? Wait. Chase? What? We've been, we've been mining for the stronghold. You want to come over here with us? What did you guys get out of the Nether? Why are you slop-- Are you sleeping right now? You guys bailed on me. I get that. That was good. All right, we're killing the Ender Dragon. Hey, you want to maybe wait for me to-- Hi gentlemen, follow me. Let's do it. Welcome to the stronghold. Time to bust some more myths. Fortune pickaxes give you more experience when mining ores. Glitter equals enchant. Come on, crack it. See some big-- Oh my! Some big XP balls. Confirmed. Two people mining an ore is faster than one. Three, two, one! Three, two! Look at all that coal. Confirmed. And with that, we get our final Eye of Ender to see if we can activate the End portal. Yes! Dude, it's been busted from the beginning. Whoops.
