You jumped into a well. You got too cocky and swam further down than what you hoped. You went for a nice Sunday swim in the sea. Somehow, you end up on the verges of drowning, and you're drowning fast.

The best way to stop this is with a torch. Simply swim to the nearest wall and place a torch on it. The torch will create a small air pocket that will get rid of water and you'll be left with a full tank of oxygen to get you back up to safety

This trick could save your life so make sure to give it a trial run before any serious Minecrafting.

2. Torches Destroy Stacks Of Gravel and Sand

This trick is well-known among advanced Minecraft players, but it's worth repeating just in case anyone missed out on the secret.

If you have some tall and annoying stacks of sand or gravel (usually after some over adventurous nerdpoling), you will find it very irritating to destroy every individual block in the stack, one by one.

That's why you should try this instead. All you have to do is break the bottom block in the stack and then quickly place a torch in its place. The sand or gravel will fall onto the torch, and will be destroyed. The entire stack will be obliterated in about ten seconds. Nifty!

Water can get very annoying, especially when you're trying to make a farm or build a home. That's why you should use this trick instead. Place a ladder or a sign on the wall of the water river and the water will stop flowing entirely! This is also a great method when you are building underwater as it can prevent leaks from getting into the building.

Heading to the Nether? Hate Blazes? We all do. They're excruciatingly annoying especially when you're trying to collect a few resources at the Nether or head to a Nether Fortress. Every few steps you take is like an apocalypse. You get hit with fireballs from every angle, and it's all thanks to the Blaze.

Fighting them with a bow and arrow can be quite taxing on your resources. Instead you should use:

Snowballs!

All you have to do is hit the Blaze with a couple of snowballs and you're set! You can collect snow with a shovel in a snowy biome. Make sure to bring about two stacks of snowballs to have any chance of defeating thirty to forty Blazes in the Nether.

It's an unknown fact that Blazes hate snowballs so use this to your advantage. Snowballs can destroy Blazes and work just as good as any bow and arrow.

5. Cobblestone Prevents Ghast Attacks

Talking about Nether mobs, here is another way to prevent them from attacking you.

When you first enter the Nether, you will be fired fireballs from every corner by Ghasts and you will be in a hotbed of Nether mobs. That's why you should create a small cobblestone cabin before heading out to fight the Ghasts and get going on your journey through the Nether.

Ghasts are repelled by cobblestone and their fireballs don't impact cobblestone. This means you can get your resources ready such as snowballs (for Blazes), your bow and arrows, any armor you need and more. If you're a newbie and have just entered the Nether for the first time, you'll find it pretty daunting without an indestructible base that you can return to.

If you're tired of all the zombies that keep invading your house at night, you should seriously consider making a "zombie blocker" door. This door basically stops all zombies from breaking into your house by smashing down the door.

All you have to do is place a block on the area where you want to put the door, and then place the door above the block. The zombie has to break down the top of the door in order to break down the entire door, but since the top of the door is out of reach, they can't smash down the door.

Note: Zombies will only actually break the door down fully if you're in Hard mode. If you aren't they will try but they never will fully break it down so don't worry.

Tired of all those pesky weeds surrounding your house? Trying to build a home but those annoying weeds are getting in the way?

By pouring water on the lawn, it will destroy any grass that grows on it. All you have to do is fill a bucket with water and then pour the water on the grass. This is a quick but super effective hack that will definitely speed up the grass destroying process. It's also a quick way to harvest a massive amount of wheat seeds all at once.

Again, you might know this already, but if you're a complete newbie, here's a quick trick. If you are building a farm or need a ton of water and fast it's going to be a real chore when you have to go back and forth to a river or sea and collect the water in buckets.

Instead, you should create an infinite water source close to your farm or building.

This water source consists of three blocks dug out, in a line. Place water in the second block with a bucket, then in the first block and finally the third block. The water should be still and not flow in any direction. Got that? It
