I have to disagree there's something even worse. The thick potion while useless for potion crafting, can be made with Gunpowder into a throwable potion to extinguish fires. The most useless item is the tinted water arrow, it has no uses it doesn't even extinguish fire on the ground or on entities, However, it removes the Fire enchantment from the bow upon shooting them, making them worse than a normal arrow!
*OBJECTION!* The tinted water arrow still does damage. Likely same as a normal arrow. But water can be used to extinguish fires, and glowstone dust is only found in the Nether thus making it slightly rare. Thus, the thick potion is an utter waste of materials better used elsewhere.
OBJECTION!!! The tipped arrow of healing is the most useless as it is relatively hard to make and when fired at enemies heals them instead of damaging them derailing the purpose of the arrow
@@spiffskeyboard9314 question: if you’re playing multiplayer and have friendly fire on, and you shoot one of your friends with an arrow of healing, would it heal them?

coral was definitely the worst suggestion here. all decoration blocks are inherently useful, because their primary use is decoration. it's practically impossible for a placeable block to be useless, except maybe the fletching table, as it has no functional use and its texture could easily be substituted for birch planks
Now if we SPECIFICALLY are looking for the worst placable block. My vote is for tuff. It’s super common, has no mechanical benefit, can’t be crafted into anything, and doesn’t look particularly special. Maybe it’s specific shade could be useful for some greyscale art or for texture breakup, but just about anything else is going to be more useful.

The thick potion could become useful, if there WAS an achievement for brewing every possible potion. Honestly it’s kinda strange there isn’t one, it would be a pretty cool challenge to try.
I call Rotten Flesh "Desperate Measures" because of something that happened while I was caving and was dying. It helped a lot by giving me temporary hunger bar to sprint to safety then consuming the rest to regain my health and leave the cave :D
On top of that, so long as you don't move, the Hunger effect won't do anything. Maybe whenever you're regenerating Health it'll go down faster, but still.
@@EmberTheFlareon3579 The Hunger effect does affect your hunger bar somewhat, but you are correct that most of the reduction comes from the player's activity. You can see the normally hidden parts of the hunger bar with AppleSkin.
3:00 By the logic of coral blocks being useless, might as well say that every decoration block is useless, why have rose bushes *and* poppies when you can have generic red plant. why have 2 stages of tall grass when you can just have 1? Why so many wood types when you can make wood and wood log? Because Minecraft is a sandbox game, and every block is useful for building, the texture of coral blocks are slightly different to other blocks and can serve different purposes, lets say you have a blue submarine but don't want it blending in with your custom made blue reef, coral blocks. Wanna make a red spaceship that crashed into a red planet? Coral blocks for the planet and concrete for the ship!
Dyed banners on shields have higher defensive power in the combat snapshots (Also, Poppy is arguably more useless than rose bush because rose bushes can be directly duplicated with bonemeal instead of having to get one with rng), having access to different wood types doesn't make any individual type any less useful since they have the same crafts aside from stylized blocks, and grass can obscure enemies which is a use, albeit one that goes against your survivability. I didn't miss the point of what you're saying or anything, but you chose some bad examples. A better one would be terracotta, which cannot be uncrafted from terracotta into clay.
@@theendofthestart8179 And simply for the sake of building amazing architecture, regardless of what block it is, how hard to get it is, how obscure it is or how hard it would be to make a functional house out of, every placable item has purpose, not even just blocks, plants, paintings, ect. all useful in some way.
@@Solesteam building something amazing isn’t “useful” just because it looks better doesn’t give it a use. There is absolutely no use fern over grass, they both equally useful
@@Solesteam calling something useless is pointless, as there are uses for EVERYTHING including thick potion being great for item sorters, the problem is that other items can also do that.

I hate the argument of spyglasses being useless because of Optifine. That's like saying Netherite is useless because there are mods with stronger armor that is easier to obtain.
@@whirl3690 Not really. Being a client side mod, optifine is used by many players when playing on vanilla servers, and in general people use it even when they play for vanilla experience, since the mod's primarily functions are fixing optimisation, plus some vanity and utility. I do agree that the optifine argument is weak, but that's simply because "everyone using it" is no longer true in modern versions. It was, however, practically required for some people in versions after 1.12 but before some optimisation fixes were made in the vanilla game, as the game could become unplayable on weaker machines.
@@PerfectSenseTV I mean fair but There's so many better foods- Would at least recommend having a secondary combat food, like steak or golden carrots, for better regen. That's the main reason to improve one's food source tbh (that and inventory space). Either way, I gotta respect it tbh
I knew it was going to be the thick potion or the mundane potion, the key difference between them that gives the mundane potion an actual use is that, for Bedrock players, mundane potions can still be used for making specifically potions of weakness.
As a matter of fact, I argue the thick potion is useful for one purpose: recovering your bottle. It's better than if it just permanently wasted the bottle and didn't allow you to refill it. The splash one I doubt has use, but splash/lingering ones I believe hurt endermen like water bottles so even they may have use. Still, having a single use shared only as a consistency is putting it at a contender for least use compared to anything else.
My bet at the start of the video was on Beetroot soup, since it 1) gives the same hunger and saturation as its crafting ingredients and 2) doesn't stack, making it one of the most useless food items in the game. I think the thick potion beats it out though.
The beetroot is much usefull to make red dye, trade and breed pigs than actually eating them, is so funny, but you are right. Also funny is the fact that every item we tought is useless now we strech it all the way to find it a ,,potencial" use
@@fnm249sawtoo In what mod? The only regen Beetroot soup gives is the natural regeneration any food gives by filling your hunger bar and having saturation.
@@fnm249sawtoo then by your own words, every food can give regen (except poison potato) I will concede beetroot soup is needed for the achievements... but it's just awful and outside of mods or achievement runs, you're better off using the beets for dye and/or trades oh shit these are month+ old comments

Actually, poisonous potato can be useful. Not only is it part of the “A balanced diet” achievement, but it can also be used for the “How did we get here” achievement. Most importantly, poisonous potato can save your life: hunger can kill you (on hard difficulty), while poison can’t, and a poisonous potato still gives you 2 hunger points (which is also double the amount of a raw potato). It also gives double the amount of saturation than a raw potato. Obviously DO NOT eat poisonous potatoes in real life
I actually used a lot of them during long basebuilding stretches where I want to sprint but don't give a shit about health. Reason I get so many is from ship holds
Personal idea for the most useless item: Invisibility-tipped arrows. Why in the hell would you ever want to make whatever you're trying to shoot harder to see?! At least instant health-tipped arrows will deal bonus damage to undead!
Objection! Imagine your friend is about 30 blocks away but he can't reach you since he would be too slow needing invisibility, slash of potion wouldn't reach so therefore it does have a use
Objection! It he would need invisibility, he would be hiding from something. Why would you just damage him even more? And second, most people have armour as a priority, so if hit with the invisibility arrow, the armour is still visible. I think the most useless thing is the bedrock block in survival. Because it’s not even obtainable and if you argue that it stops you from mining into the void, people who dare mine that deep would have coordinates on like a pro! Everyone else wouldn’t even come down here. In creative, these blocks are just as weak as stone!
One of my favorite memories in Minecraft came in survival multiplayer, I accidentally gave my friend a poison potato that they later used while in the mines and killed themselves. It’s useful for deceit and accidental mistakes!
Good god he blew my head open with that revelation.... The thick potion... Why do mundane, and thick potions exist anyway? Was it for some scrapped potion ideas?
You know arguably the poisonous potato has use as a balancing tool. Since potatoes are the most useful crop to harvest (doesn't require seeds you just replant the potato, also it's the only crop that can be baked for pretty decent hunger filling) the poisonous potatoes are there to slightly nerf potato production.
alternatively carrots with a gold farm is insane for Saturation ...or just any good Emerald trade plus a Farmer who rolled a Saturation Suspicious Stew
instant harming arrow on java, a bug makes it practically useless for anything but making non enchanted bows slightly better (despite it being ostensibly endgame with its crafting recipe or requiring a villager farm to get in large quantities) you can only use it as an arrow that is a direct downgrade to default if you have power three or higher, and anything below that has a decent chance of nearly entirely negating the benefit of the arrow (down to a minimum of one harming damage) while you can use it for arrows, you can't use it for anything you couldn't use a normal arrow for, something which is in much higher supply. rotten flesh and potions are at least useful in niche situations (caving early with no food and bottle recycling/fire extinguishing), but instant damage arrows serve no purpose for the reign of the game they are in and barely any purpose otherwise
Harming arrows on java actually behave that way on purpose because the arrow does damage according to what does the most damage, meaning that if instant damage 2 does more damage, it'll calculate damage using it instead of the damage of the arrow. This means that if you were to spam instant damage 2 arrows with an unenchanted bow, and pulling the bow back as little as possible, you can 2-shot a full netherite in half a second. If they have full prot 4 netherite, they can be 5-shot in 2 seconds. They may seem useless, but can actually have one of the highest DPS against full prot 4 netherite.
@@Gamenoob-gy1in they only do that if you're in melee range, and would also take a full second to deal 20 damage (2 instances of 12, 0.5s invuln = 1s) + a full set of prot IV = 2.5s. in the same amount of time, an enemy with a maxed sword and strength buffs can deal 7 damage while staying relatively safe by simply using a shield, dancing around you, or getting *inside of your hitbox* while you shoot. the situation where you 1. have a good supply of instant harming arrows, 2. are within melee range, 3. have an unenchanted bow, and 4. have the opportunity to get easy, *knockback free* bow shots off on a melee-ranged opponent is extremely small. at that point, you're in the endgame- and in the endgame, a combination of regen potions and many sources of keeping you away from them would make a melee-bowman strat near pointless. i've run the numbers before- while on paper it seems alright, in practice you're going to be slowing yourself by a decent amount around 50% of the time while also getting no knockback resistance in return, as well as every instance of damage you deal or take knocking you further away from your realistic range of fire towards an opponent. besides, while taking that much damage is intimidating- it takes a full 2.5 seconds to fully kill someone. in that 2.5 seconds, they can heal by a minimum of 5 HP simply by existing at full saturation- which bumps up the time to kill by another 0.5s. additionally, any source of regen (as well as instant health gain via golden apples) pretty much universally increases that time by 0.5s each. this also gives them more time to heal via saturation, as well as bonk you around- you get the idea. in a realistic scenario, spamming arrows isn't gonna work on a smart opponent. it totally would work on, say, an iron golem? or maybe the warden, if you're really good at kiting? but in most PVP scenarios your effective range isn't even 3 blocks- it's *literally 1*. a player could stand slightly out of sneezing distance and you'd need to charge your shots, delaying your attacks and causing more chances to 1. miss and 2. get hit around before being kited out. it's not an unviable strategy, i think, but eating rotten flesh or using poisonous potatos or making useless splash potions for fun isn't truly unviable in a creative game either. a much more realistic one would be using a power V bow to deal upwards of 60 damage in a single shot as an opener, and then being able to take many options from there. needing to have at least 2 slots saved (one for an unenchanted bow, and one for instant damage arrows) plus having the arrows likely in your offhand would make it much harder to do any other strategy- meaning someone with a shield immediately becomes pointless to try and attack, as you would have a massive window between you 1. switching to an axe, 2. hitting their shield and disabling it, 3. switching back to your bow, and 4. waiting out the 0.1s timer before shooting. just use extended poison arrows or slowness, etc- they're much better, easier, and less useless for the point in the game you'd get them at xd
If you combine the strategy with things like a slowness 4 potion, bunch of cobwebs, and there knockback resistance from netherite, you can basically trap any opponent and not worry about knockback. From there you can quickly hit them with an axe, walk back, and shoot at them from a distance where they can't melee you but you can shoot at them, which can be done by charging the bow for a bit more than 0.1 seconds, all in a span of a few seconds. This means your left in a situation where you cant move away, and are constantly loosing health to the arrows. As for other healing effects, saturation can only heal half a heart in half a second, golden apples take 1.61 seconds to eat to give you 2 hearts and its regen 2 hearts every 5 seconds, while arrows still do more damage faster than those can heal, making them only delay the inevitable. The best ways I could come up with are pearls to escape, which you could just chase them, turtle master potions because resistance reduces instant damage, and shooting them with a punch bow to make there arrows not be able to hit you. Alone, this strategy can be good but evadable, but if you get attacked without expecting it, or if 2+ people work together and do it at the same time, it becomes almost impossible to die from.
@@Gamenoob-gy1in what about a water bucket? or an elytra? or a sword? or a bucket of milk? or as you said, an ender pearl (combined with a fake-out ender pearl)? what about getting shot or knocked back by KB? or digging down? what about building a physical barrier in between you and the opponent? there's enough counterplay for a slow playstyle in minecraft endgame situations to make this sort of thing niche. it'd be *viable* but not very good if you get there early, but it's in a weird place where lower armor players don't get shredded (like an early axe get would) but mid and endgame players wouldn't take as much damage anyways. taking 5 damage every 0.5s is dangerous when you're stuck, but you can get out fairly easily and wouldn't get stuck again except by going into hitrange- also, the enemy can just. use a shield? if your only option is to get within melee, you lose to shields every time (as your playstyle would then effectively be a "take as much time shooting them with 0.25s shots, while they effortlessly block about 70% of them and decently retaliate the rest). shields are an incredible counterplay tool for all projectile users, and it means your opponent either has to not see it coming or be flat out bad at the game to realistically get shot without something happening to pressure you back. to make this work requires a *lot* of inventory management, coordination, luck, and skill (not to mention the fact that most of these things being in hotbar slots makes it subsequently harder to allot space for melee or healing items), whereas melee options (even the niche punching strats) only really require healing, maybe potions, and the weapon you're using. for the part of the game you get them in, and the relative cost? totally worthless. even getting them early doesn't do much, as your realistic setup would *use earlygame gear* to fire the arrows- whereas most other "useless items" tend to either be cosmetically useful, good earlygame, or good in niche endgame/midgame situations. this arrow type fails at the one thing it's supposed to do (pressure opponents at long range with piercing damage) because of a quirk in the damage invulnerability code which could be fixed tomorrow and wouldn't break anything. the fact that it works in incredibly niche situations isn't really relevant for whether it's "the most useless" or not- fundamentally, you can make any item work with strength II and haste and it'll be viable in a combat scenario. full immobility means *every item* is a viable combat item, which means that instant damage arrows are only marginally easier to make useful in combat than a leaves block is- and they have none of the extra utility that any other given item in the game generally has in spades
Another item that is currently pretty useless is the Java-exclusive _Minecart with Furnace_ but if in a later update Mojang would allow us to use chains to link together minecarts it could be much more useful Imagine how many items could be carried with the player if five minecarts with chests were linked behind a minecart (for the player), which was linked behind a minecart with furnace? Even without a furnace minecart linked minecarts on power rails could be useful for a similar effect. Want to get a group of mobs/players to another point quickly? That would be how it's done.
I actually use minecart furnaces unironically. You dont need the furnace minecart to link with the other carts in the train as long as you have it at the back pushing them forward. Also, its cheaper than powered rails
Sure, it could work that way, but loading the minecart to me is unnecessarily tedious because I have to load it with coal, then hop into the train before it rolls away (because if I try to load it sitting in the minecart it will go the opposite way). Then it stops in the middle of the journey and I have to do the whole thing again. This is why I want chains to link minecarts, to make the process more convenient. But if gold is scarce then yes the current system will do all right.
@@quince5892 I always see the argument "it's cheaper than powered rails" like, seriously? You can't get gold and redstone? The nether is literally covered in gold and redstone is practically as common as coal at diamond mining levels
@@The_WhitePencil Yes, you spend your gold on powered rails... Or you could spend them where it's more useful: trying to get soul speed III books. I spent several stacks of gold to get only a couple of them. Unless you are already very late-game with as much soul speed as you need and a gold farm, it's nice to not have to use that gold on powered rails. Hence, why it makes sense to use a bit of cobblestone and coal to transport villagers for an early villager trading hall or villager breeder.
@@autumn4442 any distance that's shorter than chunk-loading distance you might as well push the minecart with your body, and furnace minecarts don't keep chunks loaded.
Gotta agree about the rule regarding no mods cause...... Yeah, no shit mods can make the spyglass useless. Mods can make any item in the game useless if you download the right ones.
I may have an idea of an item that is equally useless, or even more useless, although it isn’t a typical item, rather an enchantment. Essentially, two curses are in Minecraft, Curse of Binding and Curse of Vanishing. Curse of Binding can be useful, putting weak, but durable armour or heads on players with dispensers, meaning they have to kill themselves or take tons of damage, just for it to break. Curse of Vanishing however, has no uses whatsoever. All it does is make it so your item disappears after you die. This is terrible in single player since you permanently lose a potentially great item, even if you died right next to your spawn point. Meanwhile in multiplayer, all it can do is make it so others can’t get your items, but is useless if you are just playing with friends and makes it so you can’t kill an enemy to get it back. Potion of thickness does nothing, but Curse of Vanishing does nothing, while guaranteeing that you will lose your tool that has it.
I see your point, but I would argue that you've only proven that the Curse of vanishing is *worse* than thick potions, not that it is more useless. You outlined a reason in your comment: if you're playing on a multiplayer server and don't want others to grab your items if you die, curse of vanishing has a use (this could also apply to mobs stealing your loot in single player.) This may be a very specific, unsubstantial use, but it is a use. I would also argue that thick potions require materials to make, where as it is possible to find a book of the curse of vanishing naturally spawned in your world, meaning you have to actively use resources to make something that is objectively more useless.
@@reallyjojoify If you want a whole set of curse of vanishing, you'll have to get really lucky or trade, something which scars many people, it also wastes a chance to get a better book from trading, not to mention getting the emeralds for it
You can also trade rotten flesh for emeralds in a villager trading hall. Fairly useless for most players, still, but if you manage to set up a mob grinder (especially one that uses zombies or zombie piglins) you can get a pretty significant amount of Rotten Flesh to trade It’s not as good for trading as farming stuff or sticks, but it’s a use at least
Mundane and thick potions are “useless” but that’s their whole purpose because they’re failed potions and you can still drink them to get the glass bottle back. In fact I would still say the poisonous potato and the clock are worse, because there is no reason to have to tell the time of day when you could just place a bed and attempt to sleep to determine whether it’s day or night. The actual most useless items, as in items made to serve a purpose but failing miserably, are the lingering potions and arrow of regeneration 2. Why? Because if you use them for healing, it’s too slow, the duration is too short, damages you initially, and is outclassed by gaps and normal splash regen potions due to their longer duration. If you use them for damage, the healing from regen would cancel out part of the damage, which defeats the purpose of it. While arrows of instant healing are situational, but still useful because it would actually heal you if you have armor and can be used to do extra damage to undead.
@@seasonslayer6093 who cares? It's not like dying close to your spawn point is bad, and most deaths are in caves. If you're at the point where you have a huge base, then you probably have good enough stuff to the point where it doesn't matter if it's day or night.
Poisonous potato is still the most useless. You can drink thick or mundane potions to get the glass bottle back, which is more than what you're going to get out of a poisonous potato. Also you can make a thick potion with redstone too, and it can be an awkward potion or a water bottle
Well, the most useless item isn’t the poisonous potato, but it is the worst item Because it takes away 1 of your inventory slots, usually you have a large farm with all kinds of crops so you want to make fewest trips as possible by bringing as much crops as possible, but the poisonous potato basically decreases a slot, and you either have to spent time discarding them, or waste a slot Meanwhile you intentionally make the thick potion, you knew it would use an inventory slot already, and besides, there’s no use for getting that
Infested Potion is the most Useless item we all need to agree. Like, Why we going to drink this or throw them on someone like, if we throw on some creature it will spawn silverfish and the silverfish will just atacks you with the creature you threw the potion on.
0:03 OBJECTION! Rotten flesh is significantly easier and cheaper to get than any other food source (once you have a mob grinder) and since those are very easy to make, it's common to have stacks of it just laying around so eating it not only restores your hunger but also frees up space. Although eating rotten flesh may give you the hunger effect, eating multiple, drinking milk or staying still for the duration of the effect decreases or completely nullifies the consequences of such effect. TLDR: Rotten flesh is good because you get a lot of it very quickly and there are many workarounds for the hunger effect.
You can put a thick potion in a cauldron, I could use that for redstone. I mean you could do it with any potion but that means it still has a use. The truly most "useless" also can count as a placeholder, just like all other potions. "Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by the ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that is stupid." - Albert Einstein
Bro really said rotten flesh and his only reasoning was that the hunger effect uses more hunger than it gives. Like... just stand still, you dont lose any hunger
But even with this in mind, you can at least use it in creative. Not to mention you can access basically the same commands in survival, minus a few. You cannot use a poisonous potato or a thick potion even in other game modes. Thus, ending my point that command blocks are still useful.
@@Peppy2975 1. We are talking about pure vanilla survival, meaning that it's usability in creative is irrelevant. 2. What? How can you access basically the same commands in survival?
How about structure void blocks? THere is literally nothing you can do with them you can place them but you can literally just walk through the blocks and they are only obtainable using commands
I don't think it counts if you can only get them via commands. If you have that, you're already in Creative mode (or can easily be by commanding yourself into it) and at that point everything is equally useless/useful.
They do have a use in roller coaster and secret one way passageways you may be able to walk into them but other blocks like ladders and redstone can be placed on them
Structure void is useful though Allow me to explain The structure void block is used in conjunction with the structure block. How it works is as follows: Say you have a structure that you want to bury underground. It’s a 5x5x5 cube, the default shape. If you were to just spawn the structure underground as-is, it will take all of the air blocks that exist in the structure and place them underground with the rest of the structure. However if you replaced all of the air blocks with structure void blocks, that would not be the case, as the structure void block would allow any block that was present where the structure void blocks are to be what is spawned in that block where the structure is spawned. So if you made a structure that was just structure voids and then loaded it underground, it’s probably just gonna be stone and its variants that end up as the structure.

I have to disagree there's something even worse. The thick potion while useless for potion crafting, can be made with Gunpowder into a throwable potion to extinguish fires. The most useless item is the tinted water arrow, it has no uses it doesn't even extinguish fire on the ground or on entities, However, it removes the Fire enchantment from the bow upon shooting them, making them worse than a normal arrow!

Thats still an arrow, would you rather have a thick potion, or a blue arrow. Easy choice
*OBJECTION!*
The tinted water arrow still does damage. Likely same as a normal arrow. But water can be used to extinguish fires, and glowstone dust is only found in the Nether thus making it slightly rare. Thus, the thick potion is an utter waste of materials better used elsewhere.

coral was definitely the worst suggestion here. all decoration blocks are inherently useful, because their primary use is decoration. it's practically impossible for a placeable block to be useless, except maybe the fletching table, as it has no functional use and its texture could easily be substituted for birch planks

Now if we SPECIFICALLY are looking for the worst placable block. My vote is for tuff. It’s super common, has no mechanical benefit, can’t be crafted into anything, and doesn’t look particularly special. Maybe it’s specific shade could be useful for some greyscale art or for texture breakup, but just about anything else is going to be more useful.

3:00 By the logic of coral blocks being useless, might as well say that every decoration block is useless, why have rose bushes *and* poppies when you can have generic red plant. why have 2 stages of tall grass when you can just have 1? Why so many wood types when you can make wood and wood log? Because Minecraft is a sandbox game, and every block is useful for building, the texture of coral blocks are slightly different to other blocks and can serve different purposes, lets say you have a blue submarine but don't want it blending in with your custom made blue reef, coral blocks. Wanna make a red spaceship that crashed into a red planet? Coral blocks for the planet and concrete for the ship!
Dyed banners on shields have higher defensive power in the combat snapshots (Also, Poppy is arguably more useless than rose bush because rose bushes can be directly duplicated with bonemeal instead of having to get one with rng), having access to different wood types doesn't make any individual type any less useful since they have the same crafts aside from stylized blocks, and grass can obscure enemies which is a use, albeit one that goes against your survivability. I didn't miss the point of what you're saying or anything, but you chose some bad examples. A better one would be terracotta, which cannot be uncrafted from terracotta into clay.
No such thing as a useless block as building is inherently useful for protecting yourself from mobs, among other reasons
@@theendofthestart8179 And simply for the sake of building amazing architecture, regardless of what block it is, how hard to get it is, how obscure it is or how hard it would be to make a functional house out of, every placable item has purpose, not even just blocks, plants, paintings, ect. all useful in some way.
@@Solesteam building something amazing isn’t “useful” just because it looks better doesn’t give it a use. There is absolutely no use fern over grass, they both equally useful
@@Solesteam calling something useless is pointless, as there are uses for EVERYTHING including thick potion being great for item sorters, the problem is that other items can also do that.

@@lordshadowgun713 Doing than on the phone doesn't work very well

@@whirl3690 Not really. Being a client side mod, optifine is used by many players when playing on vanilla servers, and in general people use it even when they play for vanilla experience, since the mod's primarily functions are fixing optimisation, plus some vanity and utility.
I do agree that the optifine argument is weak, but that's simply because "everyone using it" is no longer true in modern versions. It was, however, practically required for some people in versions after 1.12 but before some optimisation fixes were made in the vanilla game, as the game could become unplayable on weaker machines.

I knew it was going to be the thick potion or the mundane potion, the key difference between them that gives the mundane potion an actual use is that, for Bedrock players, mundane potions can still be used for making specifically potions of weakness.
As a matter of fact, I argue the thick potion is useful for one purpose: recovering your bottle. It's better than if it just permanently wasted the bottle and didn't allow you to refill it.
The splash one I doubt has use, but splash/lingering ones I believe hurt endermen like water bottles so even they may have use.
Still, having a single use shared only as a consistency is putting it at a contender for least use compared to anything else.
OBJECTION! You can just drink the water bottle instead of wasting glowstone!
I didn't know any of this myself, so not only was it entertaining, it was educational too lmao
My bet at the start of the video was on Beetroot soup, since it 1) gives the same hunger and saturation as its crafting ingredients and 2) doesn't stack, making it one of the most useless food items in the game. I think the thick potion beats it out though.
The beetroot is much usefull to make red dye, trade and breed pigs than actually eating them, is so funny, but you are right. Also funny is the fact that every item we tought is useless now we strech it all the way to find it a ,,potencial" use

Actually, poisonous potato can be useful. Not only is it part of the “A balanced diet” achievement, but it can also be used for the “How did we get here” achievement. Most importantly, poisonous potato can save your life: hunger can kill you (on hard difficulty), while poison can’t, and a poisonous potato still gives you 2 hunger points (which is also double the amount of a raw potato). It also gives double the amount of saturation than a raw potato.
Obviously DO NOT eat poisonous potatoes in real life
Poison can kill you on hard
I was not aware the poisonous potato can actually be eaten. Huh.

Personal idea for the most useless item: Invisibility-tipped arrows. Why in the hell would you ever want to make whatever you're trying to shoot harder to see?! At least instant health-tipped arrows will deal bonus damage to undead!
Objection! Imagine your friend is about 30 blocks away but he can't reach you since he would be too slow needing invisibility, slash of potion wouldn't reach so therefore it does have a use
Objection! It he would need invisibility, he would be hiding from something. Why would you just damage him even more? And second, most people have armour as a priority, so if hit with the invisibility arrow, the armour is still visible. I think the most useless thing is the bedrock block in survival. Because it’s not even obtainable and if you argue that it stops you from mining into the void, people who dare mine that deep would have coordinates on like a pro! Everyone else wouldn’t even come down here. In creative, these blocks are just as weak as stone!

Honestly, the discussion should've started with poisonous potato
You know arguably the poisonous potato has use as a balancing tool. Since potatoes are the most useful crop to harvest (doesn't require seeds you just replant the potato, also it's the only crop that can be baked for pretty decent hunger filling) the poisonous potatoes are there to slightly nerf potato production.
alternatively
carrots with a gold farm is insane for Saturation

Hey, that's pretty good, keep up the good work.
Fun fact: in the April fools update for 2024 it was potato themed and I believe making it potato themed gave it like 3 uses so it’s not useless
Btw it wasn’t out when this video came out
Edgeworth: "its the poisonous potato!"
Mojang: " we have a '2024 April Fools: Poisonous Potato Update' for you!"
instant harming arrow on java, a bug makes it practically useless for anything but making non enchanted bows slightly better (despite it being ostensibly endgame with its crafting recipe or requiring a villager farm to get in large quantities)
you can only use it as an arrow that is a direct downgrade to default if you have power three or higher, and anything below that has a decent chance of nearly entirely negating the benefit of the arrow (down to a minimum of one harming damage)
while you can use it for arrows, you can't use it for anything you couldn't use a normal arrow for, something which is in much higher supply. rotten flesh and potions are at least useful in niche situations (caving early with no food and bottle recycling/fire extinguishing), but instant damage arrows serve no purpose for the reign of the game they are in and barely any purpose otherwise
Harming arrows on java actually behave that way on purpose because the arrow does damage according to what does the most damage, meaning that if instant damage 2 does more damage, it'll calculate damage using it instead of the damage of the arrow. This means that if you were to spam instant damage 2 arrows with an unenchanted bow, and pulling the bow back as little as possible, you can 2-shot a full netherite in half a second. If they have full prot 4 netherite, they can be 5-shot in 2 seconds. They may seem useless, but can actually have one of the highest DPS against full prot 4 netherite.
@@Gamenoob-gy1in they only do that if you're in melee range, and would also take a full second to deal 20 damage (2 instances of 12, 0.5s invuln = 1s) + a full set of prot IV = 2.5s. in the same amount of time, an enemy with a maxed sword and strength buffs can deal 7 damage while staying relatively safe by simply using a shield, dancing around you, or getting *inside of your hitbox* while you shoot. the situation where you 1. have a good supply of instant harming arrows, 2. are within melee range, 3. have an unenchanted bow, and 4. have the opportunity to get easy, *knockback free* bow shots off on a melee-ranged opponent is extremely small. at that point, you're in the endgame- and in the endgame, a combination of regen potions and many sources of keeping you away from them would make a melee-bowman strat near pointless.
i've run the numbers before- while on paper it seems alright, in practice you're going to be slowing yourself by a decent amount around 50% of the time while also getting no knockback resistance in return, as well as every instance of damage you deal or take knocking you further away from your realistic range of fire towards an opponent. besides, while taking that much damage is intimidating- it takes a full 2.5 seconds to fully kill someone. in that 2.5 seconds, they can heal by a minimum of 5 HP simply by existing at full saturation- which bumps up the time to kill by another 0.5s. additionally, any source of regen (as well as instant health gain via golden apples) pretty much universally increases that time by 0.5s each. this also gives them more time to heal via saturation, as well as bonk you around- you get the idea.
in a realistic scenario, spamming arrows isn't gonna work on a smart opponent. it totally would work on, say, an iron golem? or maybe the warden, if you're really good at kiting? but in most PVP scenarios your effective range isn't even 3 blocks- it's *literally 1*. a player could stand slightly out of sneezing distance and you'd need to charge your shots, delaying your attacks and causing more chances to 1. miss and 2. get hit around before being kited out.
it's not an unviable strategy, i think, but eating rotten flesh or using poisonous potatos or making useless splash potions for fun isn't truly unviable in a creative game either.
a much more realistic one would be using a power V bow to deal upwards of 60 damage in a single shot as an opener, and then being able to take many options from there. needing to have at least 2 slots saved (one for an unenchanted bow, and one for instant damage arrows) plus having the arrows likely in your offhand would make it much harder to do any other strategy- meaning someone with a shield immediately becomes pointless to try and attack, as you would have a massive window between you 1. switching to an axe, 2. hitting their shield and disabling it, 3. switching back to your bow, and 4. waiting out the 0.1s timer before shooting.
just use extended poison arrows or slowness, etc- they're much better, easier, and less useless for the point in the game you'd get them at xd
If you combine the strategy with things like a slowness 4 potion, bunch of cobwebs, and there knockback resistance from netherite, you can basically trap any opponent and not worry about knockback. From there you can quickly hit them with an axe, walk back, and shoot at them from a distance where they can't melee you but you can shoot at them, which can be done by charging the bow for a bit more than 0.1 seconds, all in a span of a few seconds. This means your left in a situation where you cant move away, and are constantly loosing health to the arrows. As for other healing effects, saturation can only heal half a heart in half a second, golden apples take 1.61 seconds to eat to give you 2 hearts and its regen 2 hearts every 5 seconds, while arrows still do more damage faster than those can heal, making them only delay the inevitable. The best ways I could come up with are pearls to escape, which you could just chase them, turtle master potions because resistance reduces instant damage, and shooting them with a punch bow to make there arrows not be able to hit you. Alone, this strategy can be good but evadable, but if you get attacked without expecting it, or if 2+ people work together and do it at the same time, it becomes almost impossible to die from.
@@Gamenoob-gy1in what about a water bucket? or an elytra? or a sword? or a bucket of milk? or as you said, an ender pearl (combined with a fake-out ender pearl)? what about getting shot or knocked back by KB? or digging down? what about building a physical barrier in between you and the opponent?
there's enough counterplay for a slow playstyle in minecraft endgame situations to make this sort of thing niche. it'd be *viable* but not very good if you get there early, but it's in a weird place where lower armor players don't get shredded (like an early axe get would) but mid and endgame players wouldn't take as much damage anyways. taking 5 damage every 0.5s is dangerous when you're stuck, but you can get out fairly easily and wouldn't get stuck again except by going into hitrange- also, the enemy can just. use a shield? if your only option is to get within melee, you lose to shields every time (as your playstyle would then effectively be a "take as much time shooting them with 0.25s shots, while they effortlessly block about 70% of them and decently retaliate the rest).
shields are an incredible counterplay tool for all projectile users, and it means your opponent either has to not see it coming or be flat out bad at the game to realistically get shot without something happening to pressure you back. to make this work requires a *lot* of inventory management, coordination, luck, and skill (not to mention the fact that most of these things being in hotbar slots makes it subsequently harder to allot space for melee or healing items), whereas melee options (even the niche punching strats) only really require healing, maybe potions, and the weapon you're using.
for the part of the game you get them in, and the relative cost? totally worthless. even getting them early doesn't do much, as your realistic setup would *use earlygame gear* to fire the arrows- whereas most other "useless items" tend to either be cosmetically useful, good earlygame, or good in niche endgame/midgame situations. this arrow type fails at the one thing it's supposed to do (pressure opponents at long range with piercing damage) because of a quirk in the damage invulnerability code which could be fixed tomorrow and wouldn't break anything. the fact that it works in incredibly niche situations isn't really relevant for whether it's "the most useless" or not- fundamentally, you can make any item work with strength II and haste and it'll be viable in a combat scenario. full immobility means *every item* is a viable combat item, which means that instant damage arrows are only marginally easier to make useful in combat than a leaves block is- and they have none of the extra utility that any other given item in the game generally has in spades
still can be used tho, so even tho it sucks it's not useless
1:48 I am living in ps3 minecraft
Another item that is currently pretty useless is the Java-exclusive _Minecart with Furnace_ but if in a later update Mojang would allow us to use chains to link together minecarts it could be much more useful
Imagine how many items could be carried with the player if five minecarts with chests were linked behind a minecart (for the player), which was linked behind a minecart with furnace?
Even without a furnace minecart linked minecarts on power rails could be useful for a similar effect. Want to get a group of mobs/players to another point quickly? That would be how it's done.
I actually use minecart furnaces unironically. You dont need the furnace minecart to link with the other carts in the train as long as you have it at the back pushing them forward. Also, its cheaper than powered rails
Sure, it could work that way, but loading the minecart to me is unnecessarily tedious because I have to load it with coal, then hop into the train before it rolls away (because if I try to load it sitting in the minecart it will go the opposite way). Then it stops in the middle of the journey and I have to do the whole thing again. This is why I want chains to link minecarts, to make the process more convenient. But if gold is scarce then yes the current system will do all right.
@@quince5892 I always see the argument "it's cheaper than powered rails" like, seriously? You can't get gold and redstone? The nether is literally covered in gold and redstone is practically as common as coal at diamond mining levels
@@The_WhitePencil Yes, you spend your gold on powered rails...
Or you could spend them where it's more useful: trying to get soul speed III books. I spent several stacks of gold to get only a couple of them. Unless you are already very late-game with as much soul speed as you need and a gold farm, it's nice to not have to use that gold on powered rails.
Hence, why it makes sense to use a bit of cobblestone and coal to transport villagers for an early villager trading hall or villager breeder.

Gotta agree about the rule regarding no mods cause...... Yeah, no shit mods can make the spyglass useless. Mods can make any item in the game useless if you download the right ones.
I may have an idea of an item that is equally useless, or even more useless, although it isn’t a typical item, rather an enchantment. Essentially, two curses are in Minecraft, Curse of Binding and Curse of Vanishing. Curse of Binding can be useful, putting weak, but durable armour or heads on players with dispensers, meaning they have to kill themselves or take tons of damage, just for it to break. Curse of Vanishing however, has no uses whatsoever. All it does is make it so your item disappears after you die. This is terrible in single player since you permanently lose a potentially great item, even if you died right next to your spawn point. Meanwhile in multiplayer, all it can do is make it so others can’t get your items, but is useless if you are just playing with friends and makes it so you can’t kill an enemy to get it back.
Potion of thickness does nothing, but Curse of Vanishing does nothing, while guaranteeing that you will lose your tool that has it.
Used to play on an old server, new player entity cramed me to death, good they didn't get anything like a maxed out set of netherite
I see your point, but I would argue that you've only proven that the Curse of vanishing is *worse* than thick potions, not that it is more useless. You outlined a reason in your comment: if you're playing on a multiplayer server and don't want others to grab your items if you die, curse of vanishing has a use (this could also apply to mobs stealing your loot in single player.) This may be a very specific, unsubstantial use, but it is a use. I would also argue that thick potions require materials to make, where as it is possible to find a book of the curse of vanishing naturally spawned in your world, meaning you have to actively use resources to make something that is objectively more useless.
@@reallyjojoify If you want a whole set of curse of vanishing, you'll have to get really lucky or trade, something which scars many people, it also wastes a chance to get a better book from trading, not to mention getting the emeralds for it

Mundane and thick potions are “useless” but that’s their whole purpose because they’re failed potions and you can still drink them to get the glass bottle back. In fact I would still say the poisonous potato and the clock are worse, because there is no reason to have to tell the time of day when you could just place a bed and attempt to sleep to determine whether it’s day or night. The actual most useless items, as in items made to serve a purpose but failing miserably, are the lingering potions and arrow of regeneration 2. Why? Because if you use them for healing, it’s too slow, the duration is too short, damages you initially, and is outclassed by gaps and normal splash regen potions due to their longer duration. If you use them for damage, the healing from regen would cancel out part of the damage, which defeats the purpose of it. While arrows of instant healing are situational, but still useful because it would actually heal you if you have armor and can be used to do extra damage to undead.
But trying to sleep underground, if if it’s day, will still set your spawn there
@@seasonslayer6093 who cares? It's not like dying close to your spawn point is bad, and most deaths are in caves. If you're at the point where you have a huge base, then you probably have good enough stuff to the point where it doesn't matter if it's day or night.
This entire video is just educating us on the many uses for different Minecraft items that we perceive as useless.
Poisonous potato is still the most useless. You can drink thick or mundane potions to get the glass bottle back, which is more than what you're going to get out of a poisonous potato.
Also you can make a thick potion with redstone too, and it can be an awkward potion or a water bottle
3:26 BUT poison potatos hive you hunger bar up, more than the normal potatoes do
0:46 oh yes i love to BREAD my dogs
🍞🐶
0:01 for one second, I though I was rickrolled
Well, the most useless item isn’t the poisonous potato, but it is the worst item
Because it takes away 1 of your inventory slots, usually you have a large farm with all kinds of crops so you want to make fewest trips as possible by bringing as much crops as possible, but the poisonous potato basically decreases a slot, and you either have to spent time discarding them, or waste a slot
Meanwhile you intentionally make the thick potion, you knew it would use an inventory slot already, and besides, there’s no use for getting that
Infested Potion is the most Useless item we all need to agree. Like, Why we going to drink this or throw them on someone like, if we throw on some creature it will spawn silverfish and the silverfish will just atacks you with the creature you threw the potion on.
0:03 OBJECTION! Rotten flesh is significantly easier and cheaper to get than any other food source (once you have a mob grinder) and since those are very easy to make, it's common to have stacks of it just laying around so eating it not only restores your hunger but also frees up space. Although eating rotten flesh may give you the hunger effect, eating multiple, drinking milk or staying still for the duration of the effect decreases or completely nullifies the consequences of such effect.
TLDR: Rotten flesh is good because you get a lot of it very quickly and there are many workarounds for the hunger effect.
2:49 Use a bed if it lets u sleep then it’s night
U don’t even need to craft the clock the put the items in the crafting table and don’t take it out just see the time and then take your itmes back
You can put a thick potion in a cauldron, I could use that for redstone. I mean you could do it with any potion but that means it still has a use. The truly most "useless" also can count as a placeholder, just like all other potions.

Bro really said rotten flesh and his only reasoning was that the hunger effect uses more hunger than it gives. Like... just stand still, you dont lose any hunger
Also you can trade with Cleric villagers
Rotten Flesh can also heal tamed wolves
Curse of vanishing book is easily the most useless, why would you ever want to put it on your items?
I think it's whatever that water splash arrow is, but I'd like to add one thing:
The clock tells you what time it is before you even fully craft it
While worse than a normal arrow, its still an arrow and does damage.
So not usess
rotten flesh also gives iron belly on bedrock
The most useless item is splash mudane potion
Puts out fires
Actually you’re wrong. The most useless item in Minecraft is the chat report feature and anyone who uses it.
?????!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????????????????????
When he threw out the Thick Potion, I was like "damn, he's right."
OBJECTION: Thick potions can distract the warden!!!!!
just use literally anything else, or... sneak, like you're supposed to.

Air block. Need I say more. It exists, but doesn’t at the same time.
"Therefore, your objection is garbage' is my new favorite closing statement to a rebuttal
Uhm Actually🤓, the Command Block is the most useless item in survival mode. This is because you can't place them unless your in Creative.
But even with this in mind, you can at least use it in creative. Not to mention you can access basically the same commands in survival, minus a few. You cannot use a poisonous potato or a thick potion even in other game modes. Thus, ending my point that command blocks are still useful.
@@Peppy2975 1. We are talking about pure vanilla survival, meaning that it's usability in creative is irrelevant.
2. What? How can you access basically the same commands in survival?
@@icantthinkofaname4723 There is been no mention of it being survival,just vanilla minecraft,but no mode specifications
@@skell6134 It can be assumed to be survival because otherwise, the entire discussion breaks down.
@@icantthinkofaname4723 fair point
How about structure void blocks? THere is literally nothing you can do with them you can place them but you can literally just walk through the blocks and they are only obtainable using commands
I don't think it counts if you can only get them via commands. If you have that, you're already in Creative mode (or can easily be by commanding yourself into it) and at that point everything is equally useless/useful.
They do have a use in roller coaster and secret one way passageways you may be able to walk into them but other blocks like ladders and redstone can be placed on them
Structure void is useful though
Allow me to explain
The structure void block is used in conjunction with the structure block. How it works is as follows:
Say you have a structure that you want to bury underground. It’s a 5x5x5 cube, the default shape. If you were to just spawn the structure underground as-is, it will take all of the air blocks that exist in the structure and place them underground with the rest of the structure. However if you replaced all of the air blocks with structure void blocks, that would not be the case, as the structure void block would allow any block that was present where the structure void blocks are to be what is spawned in that block where the structure is spawned. So if you made a structure that was just structure voids and then loaded it underground, it’s probably just gonna be stone and its variants that end up as the structure.
ya forgot 2 items...
1: Bedrock, inobtainable, place it and never remove it.
2: Air Block, inobtainable, exists only to fill 99% of the world.
Healing arrow: FINALLY ppl understand that im a good item!
No matter how obscure and pointless block/item/mob is, there are people that will find super niche useage of it.
