NETHER REACTOR CORE? WHAT?
www.twitch.tv/phoenixsclive
E
You silly cow
It's not glowing obsidian... It's bleeding obsidian
This reminds me of that one time on 9/11
The nether reactor core is in Minecraft pocket edition but it was removed sense it was in old Minecraft it just feels more nostalgic.
Those nether reactors were a throw back, made a square house out of them once, it looked awful
Ye i made a square house with nether reactors but i think its cool
I think both of those blocks were implemented back before the nether dimension was a thing. Those blocks were the only way to get to the "nether", back then.
OMG OMG rlly? Everyone knows it
@@determinedd.e5495 Weren't they replacement for the nether dimension in MC PE? You'd build a structure out of nether reactor and obsidian and it would spawn nether stuff around, including the glowing obsidian while it was active.
Probably better than the hole in the ground I dug when attempting to make my first house in creative.
Out of all people, phoenix is the last person I would expect to not know about these blocks
RIGHT
ikrrr. it legit caught me off guard when he didnt know. Or did he?
He's a Java player
@@ionvop oh right
fr
the nether reactors are from Pocket Edidtion back in the time they didn't have the nether yet (cause of mobile limitations). It made a chunk big tower of netherrack with a couple of other nether materials and mobs inside so you could still get all thing you'd need from the nether into the overworld
I have some good memories trying to get all the gold needed for the nether reactor that whas a long time ago.
And I think the glowing obsidian was also part of the structure used to spawn it.
Edit: GUYS I GET IT THE GLOWING OBSIDIAN IS LEFTOVER OR LIKE SPAWNS OR SOMETHING FROM SPAWNING NETHER TOWER THING
Edit 2: *NETHER SPIRE
Not just Pocket Edition, it was all versions, at least at one point. It was the only way to get in the Nether.
the gold block you used to make the reactor work turns into glowing obsidian
@@TheOddInfluencer it was introduced in pocket edition and used in all version based off of that.
java edition never had it.
The weirdest part about the Nether Reactor Core isn't the fact it exists, but it's the fact that they've been updating the texture for a block that no longer has a use.
Ikr?? This isn't the texture I remember, it has been updated!
It's only had one update, to fit with jappas textures. It may be because there are still very old worlds where the block may have been used as decoration or something, and I guess it'd be a let down if it just became an update texture block. The new design is very minimal though, so I doubt much effort was put into the design, it was probably just meant to be something quick and good enough.
@@HughvanZyl It's actually a really curious story from what I remember. The current texture from the nether reactor comes from one of the old texture packs of Minecraft PE , it was like Plastic or toy themed I don't remember lol. For whatever reason the Nether Reactor textures got jumbled up in one update and the vanilla texture pack got swapped with the plastic styled one. I'll see if I can find a reliable source to back this up
@@HughvanZylActually with addons you can still get the block in new worlds.
Currently it has no use but still makes for a good decoration.
Reason why it’s file hasn’t been removed is because old blocks are commonly used as place holders for addons.
The texture wasn't "updated" what happened is the current texture is from an old texture pack for Minecraft PE. What's even weirder is if you use the pack apparently it shows the original texture so I guess a mix-up happened and since they aren't a thing anymore it didn't get fixed
As much as I LOVE old PE stuff, since everyone else has already shared so much info on these old blocks, here’s something fun I learned:
Despite not being obainable in survival while it was in the game, and despite only being a visual touch to the Nether Reactor while it was active, Glowing Obsidian is in Minecraft: Story Mode
Huh, interesting
Since no one else has asked, I guess I will: in which episode?
@@letsgogaming8112 season 2 episode 2 i think, the one where they go to the ocean monument
@@moudyy958 OH YEAH WITH THE STRUCTURE BLOCKS! I think they summoned walls of glowing obsidian!
@@moudyy958 that’s episode 1
Before the nether existed on Minecraft PE, we had nether reactor cores. They were used to make the "nether reactor" which had a small chunk of the nether spawn where you made the structure. It's really cool.
Those we're the good ol' Times. I remember that not a single Soul really knew how to build them and there were Like only 3 Tutorials ob the Internet for this. They we're so awesome
yeah and i remember if u were quick enough u could grab all the important resources in making the nether reactor, grabbing the core, teh gold blocks before they turn into glowing obsidian lol
long before time had a name
@@corny3566 i knew how 🥱
Memories man
It would be awesome if Nether Reactors still worked. Such a cool throwback.
I would love to see them brought back, though with a few fundamental changes to fit Minecraft as it is currently. It would be epic if they had unique loot, more Nether mobs such as hoglins and magma cubes, a new boss, and were only activable within a new template structure.
@@gaspoweredpickThey could make them into a dungeon type block similar to mob spawners but instead spawn entities of any kind.
It would be cool if they brought back the Nether Reactor in some form. Also fun fact: the Nether Reactor Core erroneously had its texture swapped with the Plastic Texture Pack's
Yeah years ago it was changed
Oh that’s why they look like that? I noticed that happened right as they were removed from the game because I still had them in my world
I hate it (the texture)
Yeah and if you put on the plastic texture pack they have the old texture. It's so weird.
Luckily there's texture packs fixing it.
Is seen a n addon for it on a MCB modesite
The nether reactor core almost brought a tear to my eye. It's really been so long hasn't it?
It's... At least 10 years? I can't even remember that far back (I'm quite young, and memories like that are fuzzy at best)
Late summer 2015, so almost 8 years😢

@@gabehembling1088 proud to say I’m an og 🤷🏽♂️
@@Chrixsis you and me both, brother. I cant help but feel nostalgic and a little sad remembering the times i would come home from school, hop on my tablet, and build a ton of them. now, thats all gone but for a memory.
Petition to make mojang add the reactor to both java and bedrock and have it be crafted and made with netherite.
Can we talk about how the nether reactor core’s texture was swapped with the plastic texture pack’s one somehow? I noticed this years ago when it happened, and I’ve never seen anyone talk about it
That’s because the majority of bedrock players moved on from using the block and the few who continued using it only did so for addons.
I WAS PLAYING MINECRAFT POCEKT EDITION TODAY AND I MAKE A WORL WITH THE NETER REACTOR ON MINECRAFT POCKE EDITION 1.0 THE NETHER REACTOR WAS WITH THIS PLASTIC TEXTURE
I remember seeing the textures being swapped back when I extracted plastic texture pack from the apk to use it lol
well, everyone did talk about it, and mojang said they wouldnt change it because a short while later it was removed entirely so there was no need.
Be really cool if they added glowing obsidian as an actual obtainable block. It would be cool as a decoration. Glow effect and a cool texture
Maybe the entire nether reactor stuff too? What if you can modify the structure to get the different biomes
It is common in bedrock anarchy servers
It would be a unique block, like what if there was only a limited window to collect it, like the nether core reactor, gotta mine it before it cools down if you want it. Get friends together and just hack away in that window.
it was obtainable before kinda. if you played the pocked edition of minecraft before bedrock you know that there is no nether only way to obtain nether items and mobs are making a nether reactor if you want to learn more google it idk
They could add this if they just made the reactor functional again, it wasn't that hard to make them
Old pocket edition items. The reactor core was used to generate a mini nether structure
yeah
Yeah
man I miss the nether spire
Exactly
New pcoket items: the Nuclear Reactor core was used to generate 10km nether
Holy shit did not expect the Nether reactor to make a comeback, massive dose of nostalgia
considering bedrock edition started out as pocket edition, I imagine they just never removed the nether reactor assets
it's been in the files ever since bedrock was made, I'm pretty sure
people who hack in the game have been able to get this and glowing obsidian for a long time
-also glowing obsidian showed up in Minecraft: Story Mode after pocket edition stopped being a thing so that already did make one officially too-
@@Lawg202 Yeah, I remember going on super old worlds on the family Kindle and my grandma's Ipad. These world still had the Nether Reactor in my hotbar. If I remember correctly, there was a much uglier Nether Reactor texture and then it was replaced with this one.
@@destroyernet123 i still have an old phone with my older sister's old world, it had a nether reactor core in the hotbar aswell
newbies
sheesh
I half expected you to know about nether reactors phoenix, but in case nobody explained it, it was how you would make the nether in the old minecraft. You would place it down and then use the glowing obsidian and it would create a small nether biome in the overworld!
you mean gold blocks?
If I’m remembering correctly, you needed to place a cross of cobblestone, and gold in the corners in a 3x3 grid. Place the reactor on top of the middle block and put cobblestone on top of the gold blocks, then place (I think) another cobble cross on top of the reactor, without the gold.
Once it’s complete, light the reactor and it’ll slowly turn every block into glowing obsidian then destroy itself once the nether spire is done.
@@n.-_ yeah it’s gold blocks, and then once it is activated, it turned the structure into glowing obsidian at some point and it placed a mini nether around it. Pigmen and gold ingots would also spawn, and there was a few different stages, each causing the blocks to change, and make different things spawn, with the final stage making the blocks start to dissapear. I remember you needed diamonds for the reactor and I heard at that time (I’m not sure if it’s true), diamond ore only spawned in hard mode for some reason, and also, you couldn’t build it in creative, because it just wouldn’t do anything unless you are in survival. I remember I never managed to make one myself, but I watched one of my friends make one.
Omg…everything lines up perfectly in my head, this memory that I thought was a dream because it was so old and because I was so young was in fact reality... I feel like I have regained consciousness, thank you very much 🥲
I know that
Wow, the Nether Reactor and the Glowing Obsidian bring back some good memories. Hard to believe that was so long ago since those were in the game. Wish they brought them back fully. Miss the Nether tower.
I remember building the reactor after seeing an image on the internet, I didn’t really know what it did. It ended up shooting the spire straight through my house. I was young, so I got upset but my dad thought it looked cool so I was pretty happy about it in the end
doesn't the spire dissapear through?
@@fry_fr yes it is.
But it do it very long time, and until it disappear - it will spawn a lot of monsters because of dark
@@fry_friirc only half of the blocks do, it becomes a husk. I have a world still on my tablet that has the spire but completely fixed up.
I think how the reactor worked was it would spawn that spire, then spawn a bunch of zombie pigment along with a lot of gold. After the fight was over the spire would crumble.
W father lowkey
I remember like 10 years ago, my sister "summoned" the spire in her house and it destroyed everything and all her items despawned. Oh, the good old PE days.
don't trick me into thinking they brought back glowing obsidian like that
I thought he'd downloaded MCPE and was looking at the blocks in that version of the game
theres no texture update for them, there was no trick. But hey we can dream that it one day returns
its literally in normal bedrock
Lol you can still get this item in pocket since forever
@@legendarylava8775 bread boy profile picture
Nether reactors were used to create a small room made of nether materials that spawned nether mobs.
Minecraft PE couldn't handle all of the nether back then so they made the Nether Reactor block
I remember you used to be able to build the nether reactor structure and activate it and then mine the gold blocks before they were lost so I just used the same four gold blocks for every nether chamber I generated
The nether reactor in Minecraft is one of the oldest updates that I have played. I can't remember the exact year, but I do remember that you needed to hit the reactor with a diamond sword to create a huge nether structure. Inside this structure, the reactor turned into a 9x9 block of glowing obsidian. Also, the structure was hollow and temporarily acted as a spawner for Zombie Pigmen. This may sound like nonsense, but it was actually how Minecraft worked in the past.
In case there's more people who knew nothing about the two blocks than I imagined - what this person said is 100% correct. I never summoned a nether structure myself but I was there when nether reactor was in the game. Brings back memories.
specifically it was for pocket edition - the nether reactor was never a function in java edition because computers have the resources to run the nether dimension - cell phones, especially in 2012, didn’t, and so this was the only way for pocket edition players to access nether resources
I also remember that items would pop out of the floor, I can’t remember specifically what they were but I know a few were things like mushrooms and quartz which was unobtainable in bedrock survival otherwise.
@Harvey W. I believe it was mushrooms, quartz, and glowstone dust among some "useless" items
As a person who heavily played PE like 9-10 years ago those blocks brought back memories. You’d place them in a weird order and it’d spawn “the nether” around you and then you’d have mine the entire thing away if I remember correctly bc it would just leave giant squares of nether in the over world xD
Before the nether was added to the pocket edition, those blocks were in the game, as well as an old stonecutter block. The point was to add nether elements to the game before actually adding the nether dimension. It was never properly removed to not probably not make old worlds unplayable, but im not sure.
Yeah it's probably compativility stuff
It could be also kept for decoration purposes. People may wanna use these blocks in builds.
did you know that the only version of minecraft that still has the old stonecutter in creative inventory is the 3ds edition?
What, you mean the WORST edition of Minecraft still have it as an creative block?!
What da heck.
@Lemon Unlikely, they're unobtainable normally. Even in Creative. That's why the item names are weird like "tile.cryingobsidian.whatever"
2:15 I thought they removed those AGES ago! That brings back so many memories!
Same with the glowing obsidian. I had this mod that allowed me to place illegal blocks and stuff, basically hacking but it didn't work on multiplayer, and I loved placing glowing obsidian and invisible bedrock. (basically barriers but they cant even be broken in creative mode.)
It was the same thing to cameras until it was removed entirely in 1.16
I think it is still in the game
I found a toolbox and it inv edit
and i got these blocks
They were never removed. They have been kept to support old worlds.
@TheRedSmarty I thought removed blocks like these became "update" blocks to support these worlds. Guess I was wrong about these ones.
@@Zytron the update blocks are blocks that appear when you are in an old version and it's on the /give command
As a person who created a base out of the old nether reactor structure, I am so excited to know that the files for these blocks still exist in minecraft
I was so proud to hear Phoenix singing ‘I still call Australia home’. Us Australians stand for our Minecraft king 🥹
Ikr. I had this sudden surge of patriotism as those villagers fell to their deaths 🫡 🇦🇺
gl standin tho
2:09 nether reactors were from old bedrock edition, before an actual nether was added. it was basically the nether in the overworld. they dont function except for decoration now and are unobtainable
I knew what was glowing obsidian for a long time and i always thought it was underrated
i used to have a load of it on a minecraft anarchy server
As somebody Who started playing Minecraft PE back in 2012, this is making my nostalgia really Happy, I remember making worlds entirely out of the Big Netherrack Structure that spawned once you made the reactor correctly lmfao
I remember those nether reactors! They were used to make nether spires back in the days before the nether was a thing In PE.
I remember playing Minecraft PE before milk buckets were obtainable. Cake had a recipe but you couldn't do it because you couldn't get milk. I also remember messing with the nether core reactor and using inventory editors to get glowing obsidian since silk touch didn't exist in the game yet.
PE was weird man. I never bothered to buy it since it seemed so much less feature ready at the time, so I just stuck with Java. Looks like I was inda right.
@SgtMaggi Yeah but the unique features made it worth it to me. It had a special charm to it that Java didn't. I would spend hours playing PE Lite and I was really sad when that game was removed from the appstore. I ended up finding a download for it but it is broken in the newest version of android. It suffers major graphical glitches that will cause seizures if you have epilepsy but hurt your eyes, even if you don't. It's not really a bearable experience which sucks because it was so much fun. The demo was unique in terms of Minecraft demos because it wasn't just the regular game with fewer features and/or a timer. You had infinite of certain items and had to collect others. The only monsters that would spawn were zombies. Blocks you couldn't obtain would still drop but picking them up did nothing. It was a unique experience and I still played it a lot, even after buying the full version.
I remember the idea that glowing obsidian could appear instead of normal obsidian while cooling lava with water and deal damage like magma, until it cools down completely. it's cooling down quite quick to be obtained with unenchanted diamond pickaxe.
glowing obby was made when a nether reactor degraded and replaced the blocks that made up the reactor :)
@@aka_dyn0808 Yes, that is exactly how I remembered it while playing it in 2011.
@@aka_dyn0808 we know, pheonix sc is the only person who doesn't know 💀
The nostalgia of the nether reactor and glowing obsidian is intense
If you didn't know, when nether reactors were activated the core would turn into that glowing obsidian. I remember filling my world with them and making minecart tracks through them
This is correct
Nice
no the core would change into 2 different textures, a red one for when the reactor is active, and a black/blue one for when it's finished. the glowing obsidian replaced the gold blocks that you used to build the reactor i believe
@@the_cat_the_cat yea, they did but If you were fast enough you could Trigger the reactor and Mine the gold before it turned to glowing Obsidian, so you could keep them. Really helped with farming These things
@@corny3566 ye i remember i used to do that lol
Nether reactor used to be how bedrock players accessed nether blocks, and glowing obsidian was supposed to be added to Minecraft but now it is long forgotten, but still in Minecraft Story Mode.
The glowing obsidian appeared once you completed the nether reactor.
I remember this very clearly! These blocks used to be required to go the the in the very alpha pocket edition versions. It actually only spawned a chunk of netherrack with some nether mobs because a whole new dimension couldn't be handled.
I remember neither reactors from like 10 years ago, I miss them. They were fun to spawn all over the non infinite world
2:27
Hello, very old blocks
1:04
Man was so baffled he lost his accent.
I never expected the nether reactor core to come back ever but I’ve come up with some cool uses for it now I remember it’s existence, like what if because in newer updates a lot of nether mobs tend to be zombified in the overworld, if you were to place down a nether reactor core nearby then they wouldn’t turn
Something tells me that just because it’s in the game doesn’t mean it still works
2:03 Those blocks are fossils and nostalgic for old Pocket Edition players. (But the nether reactor texture change like a plastic stile)
It physically hurts my soul seeing Phoenix not know what these are
1:35 "I'm sorry little one".
I was not expecting to see a nether reactor core today, very nostalgic
Anyone remember activating the nether reactor core and trying to mine all the gold blocks before they turned to glowing obsidian? Especially since the worlds weren’t infinite so gold was a non-renewable resource.
A Nether Reactor is a 3x3x3 structure buildable by a player in Minecraft Pocket Edition. When the Reactor Core is placed inside, it spawns a Nether Spire, a giant tower of Netherrack, inside of which Nether-native mobs will spawn. When activated, the Reactor Core transforms into Glowing Obsidian. This was a temporary method to acquire Nether-locked items in Minecraft PE until the Nether dimension was properly implemented. The feature wasn’t immediately removed, however, and I actually spawned several Nether Spires in a Creative world in which I had also constructed Nether Portals.
Good old days when you and your friends are trying to get the gold before they turn into glowing obsidian lmao
Yeah, I still remember it slowly becoming glowing obsidian and getting the gold before it's too late and the place will explode
Even with no nether portal we still tried making aether portals too.
Yeah and at least you can get 1-3 gold back (in Single player)
now this, was a throwback that i wasnt ready for
I love these types of videos. Phoenix just having fun because of the unpredictability of the contents
2:32 old pocket edition stuff
Glowing obsidian is like the old version of crying obsidian. It was removed for a while but then Mojang re-added it as a completely different block in 1.16
I just had an old memory of going home from school on the bus and playing Minecraft Pocket Edition. I was showing my friend the Nether Reactor Core not knowing what is and putting it in the middle of my wooden house. I turned it on and it spawned a huge box of netherack with zombie pigman(That is what they were called before 1.16) and blazes in it. Not only was my house gone, but the remaining wooden blocks were on fire and all my stuff was burned... Good times!
I never knew what the nether reactor core did until a couple years ago, i just thought it looked cool and made houses out of it
when Phoenix SC doesn't know about these blocks: 3:21
1:50 - tf they started burning but they didn't reached the lava
2:37 you wouldn’t get it
Isn’t it the stuff from mcsm s2?
1:09 This is.. The World!
But since time is frozen you can neither here nor see this.
You'll have no idea of what happened.
Phoenix just gave a lot of old MCPE players some nostalgia
01:42 best singer award goes to
"Nether reactor core", that name bring back memories
Actually, the nether reactor core was the way to get to the old nether. They removed it, but it made a cube of netherrack where nether mobs would spawn. If you broke free, you’d see that it’s just a cube of nether in the overworld. It was very hard to get. They removed the Old Nether, though.
Me, an og minecraft pocket edition veteran from 2011:
you wouldnt get it.
basically, back in my day (oh gosh im old now dangit), in the original minecraft pocket edition, there was this thing called the nether reactor and it was basically a replacement for the nether as it hadnt been added to pe yet.
you crafted a nether reactor core with 6 iron and 3 diamonds, and it was one of the most expensive items in the game at the time.
then you put the core into this little shrine thing you built with gold blocks and cobblestone (look up the formation, its a little hard to explain it), then you put the reactor core in the middle and punched it. you had to be in survival mode, as this was during the time when all tables/interactive blocks such as chests and crafting tables could ONLY be used in survival mode (i think it had to do with the touch controls regarding creative mode instantly placing and breaking blocks).
the reactor's body would turn into a cube of glowing obsidian, the core would glow bright red, it would turn to night, and a huge tower made of netherrack was created. in the base room, zombie pigmen would spawn and items from the nether would constantly appear around the reactor, such as quartz and glowstone dust. then after about a minute the reactor would fizzle out, some of the netherack dissappeared to make the building look weathered, the glowing obsidian turned back into regular obsidian, and the core would turn black. you then collected the core, finished off the remaining mobs and gathered the stuff before it despawned. the spire would stay there, you could use it as a cool base, and you now had a bunch of nether stuff.
I guess there was stuff on other floors but I never could make it up to the next floor before the reactor died.
I have a world on a tablet that is somewhere in my house with a bunch of spires and cores just lying around. one we turned into a hotel.
now though, it is unobtainable and I'm really sad about it. you can get it back with mods though, and the main reactor mod adds a second type of reactor with more levels and more mobs
This mode is really great for server devs, I few tweaks would make it great
Maybe that’s what it’s for
I miss glowing obsidian, it was such a cool looking block
God I love that they kept old items in the game from early editions.
part of me thinks it is because if they remove them it might break the game
@@Finalizor They want to make sure old worlds remain compatible with modern versions. So these blocks remain in the game for that purpose and that purpose alone. Same for the old Stonecutter. The Nether Reactor Core was even changed to drop its ingredients to refund you after its functionality was removed.
@@TheRedSmarty can you still silk touch it
@@Finalizor I have no clue.
woww.... what a throwback Phoenix. The nether reactor core and everything involved is almost like a time capsule of how long ive really been playing this game for xD
I see you.. Mr. One Hidden reply xD
This is nostalgia for the netherworld reactor, I remember crafting it and making my nether spawner
Regular obsidian, crying obsidian, now we have bleeding obsidian
how'd he not know
It was from pocket edition a decade ago. I didnt even know how to use it
1:30 oil incident
The Glowing Obsidian and Nether Reactor Core are from the old days of Minecraft Pocket Edition. Before they added the Nether, they had the Nether Reactor Core to replace it and give you all the stuff you can find in the Nether, and in order to activate it, you had to surround the Nether Reactor Core with Obsidian, and over time, the Obsidian would turn into Glowing Obsidian.
I feel so old knowing that I was playing Minecraft when this existed.
It doesn't make a nether portal, because it's not obsidian. Just like you can't make a portal with cobble stone, or even crying obsidian. Also you're at most 22, no one older than 12 played mcpe lol.

ur thinking of crying obsidian. glowing and crying are different
Glowing obsidian and nether reactor core are both old PE things, before the Nether was added to PE. The nether reactor turned into glowing obsidians upon activation and then they will turn into normal obsidians shortly after that.
Fun fact: Glowing obsidian was in Minecraft Story Mode! Season 2, episode 1, Vos was trapped in an obsidian cage made of obsidian and glowing obsidian.

once built, using seeds on the reactor will activate it. turning it and the structure into a glowing red look. and will generate a tower made of nether rack. and inside the nether rack tower, items will appear aswell as prevoked zombie pigmen.
once the pigmen are defeated, the tower will start to loose blocks and time will be set to night ,and the reactor will get a shadowy dark look and will be blocked in a full 3x3 (regular) obsidian structure, resting in the middle of said structure
note: i just looked up a video of the nether reactor,and turns out you don't need seeds, you just press the button in the center with your pickaxe.
Man, that is nostalgia right there. I'm an old Bedrock player. I started back when the stone cutter was a full block, when the Nether dimension didn't exist and this was the best you could get.
I don't miss those days, but they bring some nostalgia.
Alright phoenix.
Those Nether Reactor Blocks were originally available in the pocket edition of Minecraft in the nether before it wad fully added.
Those Red Glowing Obsidian blocks, I don't think were actually in Minecraft. But what I do know is that they were there in Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 episode 3. Hope that answers your questions. Btw fire uploads keep it up.
As someone else likely pointed out already, it exists in bedrocks code as a remnant of the older pocket edition days, when the nether dimension simply didn't exist.
A nether reactor core could be crafted with 6 iron ingots and 3 diamonds, similar to a bookshelf.
After making the reactor core itself, you needed to build the full reactor. It took up a 3x3x3 area, with gold blocks on the corners and a cobblestone plus on the bottom layer, then the second layer had the reactor core in the center with cobble in the corners, and finally a cobblestone plus on the top.
Once it was fully built, you would press use (right click) on the reactor, and depending on your version, it would create either an obsidian box, or in later updates, "the nether spire" as it was called.
The reactor would become red, and the cobble and gold would start to turn into glowing obsidian.
Once the reactor is made of full glow obby, save for the reactor core itself, nether mobs and items would start spawning. Regardless of how neutral or harmless they were in java, all mobs would be aggro towards players.
After a set amount of time, or if there are no more players inside it (I might be wrong about this part, since I didn't play this version, or seen video of it yet) the spire would visibly deteriorate, and the glow obby would turn into regular obby, and the reactor would be turned off, stopping the spawning.
Small facts about it
-you could actually salvage some of the gold blocks if you were fast enough. The empty space would just fill with glow obby anyway, so you could keep some gold for next time.
-the glow obby could be broken during the event, allowing it to be collected, tho you would need some defence or barriers to break it, since mobs would be aggro, and it likely took time to break like it's non glow counter part.
-breaking the core would end the event early. You could also dig your way out the spire early too.
If anything is inaccurate, feel free to tell me in replies.
The nether reactor core was the key block for the very old pocket edition Nether Reactor. After building a little structure with gold blocks and cobble with the core in the middle and activating it, it would generate a tower made of Netherack (or obsidian in early versions) and spawn a bunch of zombie pigmen (which were hostile), and drop a bunch of items that were unobtainable without it like melon seeds. Additionally, the blocks other than the core would convert into glowing obsidian, and then into regular obsidian after the event ended. By removing the core, you could end the event early, preventing the netherack tower from getting holes blown into it and also preventing the glowing obsidian from stopping glowing.
I love how hes just singing while spawning frozen villagers above lava. This is why im subscribed to him.
basically. u use the core to make a "nether reactor". the cobblestone and gold turns into this wierd glowing obsidian. but if u would mine the gold before it turns to it u could keep the gold to make a new one.
"What is a Nether Reactor" how could you not know only the greatest boss fight of all time, you cut me deep
I believe the reactors and glowing obsidian were a feature from a really long time ago in Alpha. I think that you arranged them together into a certain structure, it turned the chunk into basically a nether chunk. I'm pretty sure the nether dimension didn't exist yet, so that was the only way to get nether materials (basically just netherack at that point).
i mean there was also quartz. didn't generate in ore form tho. just kinda came up through the floor
lol no
It's from mcpe
@@HughvanZyl yeah. pocket edition alpha.
@@cornbreadbutcringey5723 pocket edition didn't have an alpha (at least not one released to the public)
I used to have a survival world on pocket edition with a bunch of glowing obsidian. If you remember the nether reactor core made that big nether tower that spawned items, but if you broke open to the outside before it stopped spawning items then the middle would stay glowing obsidian.
I remember making a house inside one of those fully formed nether reactors, it was in the MCPE Demo version 0.7.1, I remember this version well because my IPhone4 ran out of storage space and I couldn't update from there. So there was just a 2 year streak of me only ever playing that specific version of minecraft, I knew the ins and outs of it like the back of my hand, specific seeds, glitches, dupes.
Such a throwback, brings a smile to my face.
Welcome to Minecraft Pocket Edition 2011 version. These blocks, dear Phoenix and younger viewers, were used to get Nether blocks in MC PE because the Nether didn't exist back then. You'd craft a Nether Core and surround it with obsidian. Then when you'd activate it, the obsidian would glow red and netherrack would spawn.
Seeing those blocks here just brought me back 12 years to when I just started playing MC and was playing Pocket Edition on our ipad because I didn't have a pc yet to play Java version. Back then MC PE didn't even have redstone, its worlds consisted of about 4 chunks and you had limited save files. We made houses out of dirt because there were barely any trees and if you happened to get a desert spawn you were just screwed. Diamonds would or would not exist in your small little world, if you'd even find enough iron for anything more than a pickaxe. It was incredibly limiting yet wonderful and it was how I started playing MC. Thanks for the throwback Phoenix!
I remember when pocket edition was a whole separate game from Java and console minecraft, they didn't know how to add another dimension to the game without it crashing or lagging really bad yet. So they made the nether reactor, and you placed it down in creative (because it was otherwise unobtainable unless you had mods) and when hit with a diamond sword, it would spawn a big castle tower style structure out of netherrack and the reactor turned into a big cube of glowing obsidian. This also spawned zombie pigmen as long as the structure was there. If you destroyed the tower it would stop spawning them.
After you built the cobblestone and gold around the nether reactor core and activated it, the cobble and gold would turn into the glowing obsidian and summon a giant thing of netherack, pigmen, and nether loot since in pocket edition there wasn't a nether at the time.
Nether Reactor, you know, from Villagernobyl. And Glowing Obsidian, you know, from Among Us 2020 block vote.
2014 is back! The memories oh my god the nether spirals and all. Thanks for this information so will try to recreate my favourite memories with this
These blocks are from early versions of pocket edition. It was the version of the Nether it had because Mojang didn't know how to do different dimensions in the engine yet. You would make a structure with the reactor core, gold, and cobblestone. When you finished it activated and created a Nether spire, which spawned Zombie Pigmen and random Nether items. The cobblestone and gold turned into the red obsidian. After 15 seconds (iirc) it turns off and the spire starts decaying, leaving a husk and the red obsidian turns into normal obsidian.
I nearly screamed when I saw those Nether Reactor Cores man, all of us old PE players know what I'm talking about
The most cursed thing is Phoenix not knowing about the reactor core and glowing obsidian
the fact that the code for the old blocks still exists is crazy
plus pretty sure the og stonecutter is there as well
Man the reactor a throw back I remember actually making the multiblock to get nether stuff because we didn't have the nether and I forget where glowing obsidian was but I remember seeing it. Would be cool to have more multiblocks
I remember that from the OLD days of minecraft. back when the "nether" was added. Essentially the Nether was a pocket dimension that by building a nether reactor you could like, summon a nether chunk. The result would be both a nether chunk and a broken reactor made of glowing obsidian. The idea was scrapped later.
Basicly a nether reactor was the first version on how to get to the nether, and those glowing obsidian were the boundaries of that nether... i think
My favorite block has returned! The nether reactor core.
Man... Good times.
You know your old when not even Phoenix SC remembers the nether reactor from PE
"not the correct pattern!"
"all players need to be close to the nether reactor"
