A team of Minecraft players created a very powerful slingshot using fishing rods that propelled their friend high into the sky. Minecraft is home to many unique items, from various armor, potions, and weapons to unique loot like fire charges and Eyes of Ender. While some gear is better than others — and new powerful Minecraft gear constantly changes the meta – almost every item in the voxel sandbox has its own unique purpose.

Almost every item has multiple uses, and player ingenuity is constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the game. Originally, buckets were used to transport water for farms, but eventually, players discovered how to use them to prevent fall damage. One genius Minecraft player used a Potion of Slow Falling and an Elytra to surpass the single block jump height. Another Minecraft player built a working escalator using Redstone, proving that there are near-infinite uses for Redstone power.
