Hey, welcome to the weathering effect.
This is episode 22 and today is intent of November.
I'm Bank out opal, but everyone calls me bank and I am dead your
dad's versus known to the rest of the internet today.
We're going to talk about some Minecraft, but first, let's all
remember that bank almost screwed that intro up.
Yeah, I did. I forgot to change last week
sentence. What have you been up to Banks?
All right, though. Well, mostly celebrated my
birthday adventure with a bigger family.
You got to like spread it out. So not everyone can be there at
the same day. Yeah, which is kind of nice for
the rest. I don't know.
I just watch Pirates of the Caribbean like the the series
the whole thing with my girlfriend through the week.
That's about it. Had a little bit of lace.
You can say it sounds like a lazy week.
Yeah, well, so it's kind of nice though.
Yeah, and what about you but if you've been up to for the most
part during the week my day today, I've been reading The
Witcher book. Oh, yeah, then really getting
into that thing. Yeah, you told about that in
stream as well. Other than that.
I had my streams on Friday that I've been doing.
I played around the bed. Was it chunky program for
Minecraft? It's like a 3D rendering.
Of your Minecraft world. Okay.
I really wanted to get a 3D render of last season's base.
Hmm. It didn't work.
Basically the chunks that were the island that we were on and
comic craft. Yeah, black blank, whatever it
was. They I mean they were far out
that my turn. Oh I could get to the chunks and
then the chunks right like you remember if you went South to
Snow biome that was just a couple hundred blocks away.
Yeah that rendered in just fine. Okay, but basically everything
we had built was all kinds of messed up and after that's yeah,
I spent hours messing with it trying to get it to work and it
didn't so I was a little disappointed if somebody can try
to help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong and chunky I'm using
the most up-to-date version. The one that says hey you can
use those for Minecraft there. 13-point something plus and my
worlds are in 114. So that's plus 114 of whatever
anyways, so it didn't work out. I felt like I wasted half a day,
but I would love to see the program work because I think you
could do some really cool stuff. And I think especially my base
this season would look really cool being rendered like that.
Other than that in stream, we worked on that villager trading
room. I went ahead and put villagers
in the village or trading room and played around with the new
114 mechanics. I like them.
I like them a lot. Yeah, I like to add a new
villagers work super simple. So curious for that Inky
program. I've not heard of that.
I'm kind of curious but a 3D rendering of your world.
That sounds sounds interesting. Huh?
It looks very cool. I'll send you a link after this.
Maybe we can get Carl to put a link in the show notes to for
anyone else who's interested in it.
But I yeah, I'm curious for it. It sounds like some little to
replay malt but different. Yes.
Which yeah, that sound like chunky does the high resolution
3D renders, whatever basic kind of Google Map ish.
But yeah, so I was like, oh man, that would look really cool
bubble. Nope.
Definitely not didn't work. That's I mean, I remember having
a lot of issues with replay mild as well getting it started.
It was worth all the effort and yeah, well see for the most part
I was like, it's got to be me. I'm Idiot here.
I'm doing something wrong. And then after 6 hours, it was
no this stupid programs. Idiot, what stupid stupid stupid
and yeah, just quit, but more than likely I'm doing something
wrong, but I could get other chunks to load just fine.
It was just the chunks were we played 90% of the game did not
work? What was it?
Like a fresh will download maybe you had downloaded it before and
those chunks were updated to to like newer version that might
have it cost issues. Maybe maybe can't handle 114,
even though it says 113 plus. Yeah, maybe that could be it.
So maybe I should just go to the website and download an old
version of the map and try again without updating.
That could work. Who knows?
I don't know. I'll guess I'll see you at some
point if it worked out and I want to try tonight.
Thanks Bank. Yeah, sorry.
Yeah, and if you guys hear something back on that swabby
coming home, welcome home. I try to edit as much as that
out of the camp. So I guess let's go on to the
news. Yeah, you you had done some
research on it or well looked it up like yeah, so we had a new
snapshot this week 19 W 4 85 a not a ton of stuff with it
basically bees would get lost searching for hives or whatever.
So they've expanded it from I think it was like five blocks
and out ten blocks and if a hive gets destroyed they can go find
a new Hive just I didn't know too much about be so I always
like to sort of keep it fresh for for when they actual dates
there. So I didn't know about yeah them
getting lost and stuff, but sure I didn't either.
Also, it's like you share a hive or whatever.
You collect honey, whether it be the bottles or shearing it or
whatever the bees used to come out all Angry like an attack you
now they don't I think it's from Exuma is video.
That sounds nice the other updates that came with this were
composters. The crafting recipe has changed.
So it matches the Bedrock version so you can craft it with
wooden slabs now. Okay, I think before it was
blanks and then one wooden slab. Yeah.
I like that makes it more
simple. I do too.
There was some change textures and that has so basically the
rendering engine still a work in progress.
So a lot of stuffs getting fixed, right?
Yeah, that makes sense. But other than that, it was
still a small simple update. There is a bunch of like little
bugs, but I didn't feel it was worth us to go through a list of
like 40-something bugs that got fixed just to say Such and such
fix such fixed if you guys are curious like the notes for the
snapshots are on Minecraft main website.
So this sounds like they're getting close because the snap
Shields don't do that much lately anymore.
It's well, they made mention during Minecon that 115 was
going to be out by end of year. Exactly.
I think they'll I mean it sounds like they might be getting them.
I'm really curious to see how this new rendering engine works.
I'm wondering if it's going to still be CPU heavy compared to
other games that require a lot out of you GPU and less out of
your CPU. I just hope the game runs
better. I do too.
It would be really nice not to depend on not be fine.
But we all know we're still going to use it just for the
zoom key. I mean any any increase is nice
right if you just Even at like my game kind of runs fine, but
I'd like to have that like bigger viewing distance and I
kind of noticed like it'll get easier that would be when I was
dreaming I had frame drops all the way to the 60s for some
reason. Yeah.
I remember that I had the same issue wasn't sure about that.
I thought it was because I was streaming because I was
screaming and playing the game from the same PC.
But if you were still having that problem too, and I don't
know what's going on. I mean, I didn't notice it until
I looked at the frame so it wasn't really anything visible
than I did notice my frame short lowered.
I'm normally yeah. But yeah, that's it for the
Minecraft news. Shall we move on?
Yeah, we have a disk or it's a great place to hang out with
fellow weathering effect numbers talk about the episodes and we
sometimes I'll questions to what you guys think for a new topic.
Yeah. It's just a great way to get in
contact with us and other people join.
The discs are links in the show notes.
Yeah talking about a comments from people who listen we have
an email from frankly. This is about last episode where
we talked about an update to the end.
Yeah, I remember that good job. It was a less than we could
exactly. Okay.
So their email stage. Imagine if you will a void
squid, I'm liking this so far a bioluminescent like the deep sea
fish that Globe squid that swims quotation marks here because it
is the void Swims through the void like an Overworld squid
swim through the ocean slightly larger, but still a passive mob
that drops bioluminescent ink sacs that can be used to die
die. I mean, that's a great idea.
We'll hang on there's more to the comment, but the way Carl
put it in here to put everything in the Box.
Okay, I mean so far. I'm really like yeah.
Okay. Let me catch up to it.
So it would die diable blocks. Okay, I'm good with that to give
off a faint glow. So I guess you could create
light blocks out of stuff. That's not light blocks.
So like it could be considered a light block that could be cool.
Maybe a light level of for a 5 so it wouldn't be enough to stop
mobs spawning, but it would be enough to give.
Give cool-looking light effect. Yeah, that would be awesome to
create like ambiances and stuff. He mentions it would be another
thing to farm in the end. I realized but it would also be
a cool Ambiance and light source with a bit of diversity to it.
Really enjoy getting withered you guys.
Thanks for the great content Frank the squirrel.
Thank you for your comment. I agree with the bioluminescent
squid. I uh, I really like the like
squid scrumming swimming through this guy.
Even if you just picture it that sounds amazing, even if it
didn't drop any kind of useful drops, like he's our they're
saying for light blocks or anything like that.
Even if it was just a mob that just swam around in the void
that glowed. Yeah, it's cool.
It's another reason to visit the end.
Yeah, that would make it a I don't know.
I think that would look really yeah.
I dig it. Maybe maybe it could buy some
job that you Could use to put on a beacon that would have the
beacon effect work but not put that stupid ugly laser beam all
the way up through the sky. Oh, yeah like yeah, that would
be nice. I don't always like the be don't
either but even if we use that to make kind of a accent
lighting blocks, I'd be cool with it.
Mmm. I like I like the just creating
an Ambien. Uh, yeah, I do that with
redstone torches every once in a while.
Oh, yeah, they do. I've never tried it with
redstone torches. So she tried good well in your
favor Tinder chest. They also put out little light
levels to that's true. But they sing and I'm going to
test this. I don't know.
It's not the prettiest. Look it's really not there isn't
much everywhere. I usually hide it under carpets.
Oh, that's that's actually a pretty good idea.
But I had turned my particles down so you can't see it under
the carpet either. Oh, yeah, I do have to mow
moles, which might I don't know. I should I'll try and think of
those things a little bit more. I haven't thought of that too
much. Yeah nice.
My nose is like decided to run as soon as we started recording.
So I'm going to hopefully cut all these sniffles you hear out.
If not, I'm sorry, and I'm just going to blame Carl.
I mean, it's wintertime. Those things are gonna happen
will see I went and I played football today.
So I was outside for like two three hours a day.
Nice. Yeah, I mean it'll it'll get you
a runny nose, I guess a little bit but that was hours ago.
I shouldn't have a runny nose. I guess that also means that
you're like fully healed with the I don't know what the
missiles gold again loot. Yes, I am fully healed a funny
story. So along with Terra my glue.
I ended up pulling my right groin that heal faster than the
glute but yesterday are not yesterday.
But Friday at work. I was moving a bunch of
inventory around and I had to pull something off the bottom
shelf to lift it up and carry it to weigh it.
And when I lifted it up and turned my left groin went pop
and I went sort of a really bad word really loud.
I think that's Justified. Yeah, so that was for the rest
of their but luckily I didn't take all my pain medications
because I'm not a fan of pain medications.
So I had a lot of it left over and basically Friday night when
it Heal on its own Saturday. I took some meds and I woke up
to a hundred percent fine. So yay sweet.
So let's stop ranting about my crotch area because that seems
to be a Hot Topic lately. I mean you got an accident or
well Noble action and put an injury.
Yeah, we talked about it. Yeah.
Should we move on to the real topic of discussion instead of
my Groin, I think that's that's a better idea that so for this
week, we decided a lot of weeks we end up trying to improve this
game or bash it for dumb ideas, but it really is a game.
We love like thank you. I mean you can easily say
Minecraft's your favorite game, right?
Yeah same here. It's a game.
We love the most so today instead of bashing it.
We're trying to improve it. We're going to do a top 10 list.
Of things we love about Minecraft, right?
I think yeah, I was going to say I think you did them in order
for me. It's I don't know.
I don't think I could number them.
Okay, so my top ten list is in order to make it good, right?
Yeah. So are my top ten list isn't
order Banks is just banked pretty much so I'll read mine
off in order and then you tell me which if you have one that
matches close to it or what you had.
And that point good. Yeah, that sounds like a good
idea. Right?
So for my number 10 I said you could play the game your way.
So if you like to play a survival, you can play a
survival if you like to build but you weren't so much into you
know, getting blown up by creepers.
You can play Creative Mode. Maybe you don't like to build
but you like to kind of PVP or physics figure out puzzles.
So you got adventure mode and those custom maps stuff like
that. Minecraft can be played in so
many different. Ways it doesn't matter what you
like and don't like you're going to have something to play when
you play Minecraft. Yeah, that's that's pretty close
to what I will say what I at that there's there's a lot of
like diversity in the game. There's so many different
communities. She got technical communities to
minigame communities and our key map maker.
She got people like us who just play Survivor.
There's so many different communities and I think that's
awesome that there's a fit for everyone.
But exactly I hundred agree with that.
I mean when I first started playing this I was basically a
creative mode only player. And then I got into the survival
game by kind of being forced into it now.
I can't really play any other way.
Oh nice II started in survival, but I occasionally played like
mini games and stuff and I enjoy doing that.
I think that's cool. Yeah, let's go to number 9 the
challenge of the black shape. Everything's a block which means
you have to be creative when designing a circle and know how
to count as Bank in a test. I can't count circles to save my
life in Minecraft, but I love to build in circles because of the
challenge of the square. Yeah, the challenge of making a
circle look nice in the game is its kind of awesome.
It's a good feeling when it works out.
Yeah, so the challenge of Designing something.
I mean with an architecture degree background is like, how
can I make this block look good? That's not a block.
So I really enjoy that so I haven't done as number 9 on my
list. Again, that was a close one to
what I at. I mean, I like the fact that
it's a block game. You can make so many things just
out of a block and then the challenge like you said like
making a shape out of that block, but also it gives sort of
evens the playing field between people are like for example,
really good painters or people who can't draw obviously
Minecraft is different, but it sort of evens out the playing
field for the good one. Between the bat one, huh?
Well, it's which I think is awesome until you get to the
certain guys on my credit who do the crazy like Angel sculptures
out of like the black there are a couple of more like Beyond.
Yeah get those guys tested. That's insane.
Yeah, but just a the fact that you can do so much with the
blocks. It's I don't know.
It's awesome. It really is so number eight.
I put customized skins because it's something you And doing a
lot of games is to create somebody who is a fit for you
you go. Hey, this is me in this game.
Like hmm. I personally am visualizing this
guy when I play the game and stuff like that.
Most of you got to play at somebody else or something some
other game developer created like you have to choose
hairstyles that was created by some guy behind a desk facial
structures and stuff like that and Minecraft you can just go to
the internet and Paint yourself on this 3D model.
Anyway you want and it's awesome.
I mean those people who made like Stone skins right said he
could hide it from the first hand upside down skins and I
like the fact that you can do that.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think it's really cool more games should definitely bring
that to the plate as common courtesy as I'm going to say
probably not the best phrase where I could see how it would
be It can see how it would be hard for like other games
obviously like because it's low-key and low resolution
Minecraft as a great option very true for it.
But I mean you look at high tail, which is coming out even
they don't have a custom skin generator.
You still have to pick I mean there are thousands of options
on their things, but you still have to pick pre-made model
pieces to use. Yeah.
Yeah, I agree Minecraft Stephanie unique in that, huh?
Number seven freedom and building styles.
So when you go to the creative side and you go to the survival
side the fact that you as long as you think it you can
basically make it you can go modern and do a very clean Sleek
build. You can do castles you can do
the giant 3D angle Angels structures that we see but yeah,
the fact that it nothing is off limits.
You can build anything. Long as you can imagine in your
head and I really like that. I mean for some for some things
that's really hard to do. But I mean it can be done and I
agree. That's a really cool thing about
Minecraft. Yeah.
Now this is where we start to differentiate I think.
Mmm, well the last one already. Did you want me to like with my
yeah, go ahead. All right for number eight.
I had a different one for me. It was it was a not necessarily
something in the game. But I like that Minecraft told
me to chill down and then I guess I was always like really
efficient in games like just pretty much straight to the
point. Yeah, and there's no in
Minecraft. There's no point doing.
That and and now I'm like when I'm building, I'm just like I'm
building this for building sake which I would have no verbal and
I really like that Minecraft sort of guide me into that.
I agree 100% because I used to be basically all about sports
games and first-person shooters. So there is a huge Competitive
Edge and constant like yelling at the monitors and Minecraft.
There's no point. It's just yeah, there's no goal
to work through really except for the goals.
You set for yourself. It's basically fulfill your
imagination. That's the goal of mine yet.
Yeah, that's what I really like about about the game.
What about your number? Seven?
What do you have for that? I like that Minecraft managed to
sort of create an infinite Randomness.
Yeah for worlds like the seats the amount of seats.
You can get are pretty much infinite.
Like there's no one person that can go through all of them.
And then in those seeds the worlds are so huge.
There's so much that can be generated and things that you
can do. Discover I think that's awesome.
I agree. I mean there are websites
dedicated just to Minecraft seeds.
Yeah, and there's I mean like pretty much when you can think
of it. It's going to be in a seat
somewhere right because there's so many seeds.
Let's move on to number six for me.
And this one kind of goes with number 10.
I said games within the game and I guess a lot of people would
immediately think well the minigames like Bed Wars and uh
see and stuff like that and you'd be right but also things
like if you're watching hermitcraft this season you had
greens tag game and now they're hot potato game.
I mean, these are just stupid little games that you can do
with relatively nothing. I mean, they used a name tag in
a poisonous potato to things that are relatively unused most
of the game, especially the poisonous potato and they
created their own little mini game within the game to play
while they're building a stuff. I think that kind of creativity
is awesome and it's all about Minecraft blending inspiration
to do something like that. Yeah, yeah, I agree that that's
a you found out nicely. It's really subtle like type of
minigames. It's more like social with
Direction. It's almost a thing to encounter
in like it's student home. So I guess like were a couple of
like college kids lifting. Yeah, and they would play those
kinds of games. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I like that. What's your number 6?
My number six I like that. There's a lot of different ways
how you can transport yourself. Hmm.
You can fly with the lighter you can use boats and then you can
use boats on Ice. If you build the road for it,
you can use our horse and a donkey you can even write a big
and then all these Transportation options like they
all have heat own like pros and cons.
Yeah. I think that's really cool that
they offer that that much variation and just simple
getting yourself from A to B. Mmm.
I agree and not to go off on a tangent like we normally do but
I read somewhere that you can use buttons like ice with boats
now. Rinse instead of putting.
Oh, that's so yeah. So instead of putting ice down
you can put buttons down and glide across them like they're
ice. Now again, I mean that's
obviously cheaper this this was from a Reddit post.
So, I don't know if it's actually true, but that's cool.
I mean, I guess you've recently saw that this week if it's true
for the use will be popping up soon.
I guess on YouTube. Well, I kind of had the feeling
now that I remembered this that I'm going to jump on the server
afterwards plays a bunch of buttons down to see if it works.
Oh, yeah, that's I mean it sounds easy to dry out.
Was it really just just fun? It's just okay.
I don't know if they had ice feels up to the buttons.
And it just kind of continue the momentum, but it was just it was
buttons on another rack from the video clip.
I saw okay. I mean it will be awesome.
I shall we get back to ya so do the topic so my number five is
mueang makes her own game and doesn't follow Trends and by
this. I mean the big thing that's
going around right now and Trends a video game is the
Battle Royale Minecraft started the Battle Royale with uh season
stuff. Yeah, that's actually kind of
true. Yeah, I mean granted there were
Battle Royal gave us before Minecraft you ACS, but that's
the first extremely popular one. I can remember and then it kind
of went dormant and then they had all these other battle
royales and they're like, well fortnight's the grandfather
battle rails. It's like no Minecraft was doing
it way before and to me way better.
Well, yeah those were just kinda again like the games would in
the game, right? Which is and then yeah Mojang.
This one is once read and they go better you look at the micro
transaction and loop box Trend that's happening at My Graph
doesn't have that. I mean there are mods that have
it but that's not mowing learnings not doing that kind of
sets are not trying to implement tons of stuff like that.
So granted I think in the all the windows Edition and stuff.
Yeah you have Things you can buy there is a sin to were there.
But to me, I think most of that stuff is like third-party create
stuff like me and you would create stuff to put on the store
or whatever. I don't think it's actually
million doing most of it. But I again, I can't speak much
for the Bedrock and Windows 10 version.
Most of our stuff comes from java because that's the version
me and Bank play. So remember that before you go
will judge is an idiot. He doesn't know about the
Windows 10 store. It's like yeah I do, but I don't
really Think of it because we play Java.
So most of everything we do is from the Java point of view, so
don't bash me. I think I think people should be
fine with it. I what about you?
What was your number five? Yeah, let's go to say I did
different points for number 5 again.
I really like the villagers. Uh-huh.
There are the devil also mechanic there like shops, but
you can also make them work and then they sort of especially now
since that update they sort of live in their Village and do all
kinds of things. I think that's awesome.
You don't see that often in games with like sandbox.
Yeah, so Years I had on my list. So when I made this list, I had
like 20 items on the list and then I just chose 10 that I
thought were the best villagers were on the original list, but I
hadn't at the time played with the much since the update will
basically all day today. I've played with villagers and I
agree. The 114 villagers are such a
huge Improvement. I love it.
Yeah, there they make the game. They add such an excellent
Dynamic feature to it though. I would say Tango Tex villager
mod Mmm, that's really cool too and I wouldn't be upset if
marrying said hey Tango, can we still some code and use it in
the game? Because you know seeing a
villager walk around chopping down trees or guarding an area
would be really cool. Yeah, that would make it even
better. But the way they are now, I
agree a hundred percent. I really like the 114 villagers.
I mean, even though old ones I like that system like yeah the
basic of it right there soaps you can make them do some work.
Yeah, I agree. Yeah.
Though the wheat farming I don't pay the but yeah as I mean, I
got a wheat farm now, but I haven't really figured out how
to easily do it till I mean villagers do not need that much
bread. That's all I'm going to say.
That's a lot of carbs. Why are these villagers not so
fat? It's Minecraft.
Yeah, I mean if you can lift so much goals.
You couldn't do that in real life.
Don't tell me what I can't do Bank pull another groin muscle
if I have to. Okay enough about going back to
number 4. You can customize everything you
can Custer eyes. Yeah.
Terrain the textures the crafting recipes your skin going
back to number eight everything you see in the game.
You can change to make it your own and that is super awesome.
Well, and it seems like they're working through other words
making that easier as well. Like what was it won't be 1812
I'm saying carefully they'd added Like Glue tables, right?
Yeah, which made it so much easier to customize how what
dropped from open all that. I think changing mobs is getting
easier with the data packs and all that.
You can do a lot of cool stuff. Yeah.
It really is a game where you can completely personalize the
game. The only thing I will say is
that I think terrain customizations taken a step back
with these last updates because remember You set down for hours
coming up with code to do a custom train for our common
craft world. Well, you have two sliders and
stuff. Right?
And then yeah, I remember that that yeah, they did take a
little step back and Implement that bag and I will be a hundred
percent okay with it. I seem to remember you you
mentioned once that they were working on that they were they
just took it out for a little bit while they were working on
it or something. I want to say.
I remember reading that it was supposed to be back for 113 like
one of the later 113 updates and then I got like push. under the
rug and nobody's talked about it since and now we have these
biome updates that aren't getting update for like two
years. So I kind of think the custom
terrain generation things going to get pushed back even further
now. I mean, maybe they're running
through some issues and just are working it out in the background
and they were like, well, we still gotta continue of grading
the game. Yeah.
I mean, it sounds like a tricky thing getting the terrain
generation down. What about you?
What's your number four? I like to I mean they got some
Different crafting systems, I guess you got crafting brewing
and enchanting and I like how they made it all their own
system. Like if you take a look at
Skyrim, for example, like the the brewing and the enchanting
and the crafting it's all kind of the same thing.
You just select some items in the menu and then click OK and
here it it really is star own sort of system, which I really
like. I like that to put the effort
into that I agree because it lends It's really well to my top
three things, but I won't skip ahead yet.
But yeah the fact that you have a bruised and you have to use
and you have all these different Farms to get supplies for just
brewing you create forums for enchanting like the Enderman
farm and blaze farm and stuff Grinders like that is their own
little thing in crafting itself. There's so many different ways
to craft except I think now with the craft Book I didn't like the
crafting book when I saw it and I almost put it in the list
here. Well, I'll get so we had the
crafting book when I started on PS4.
That's where I started to play Minecraft and then I came to
Java. Okay, and it didn't have the
crafting book which made me extremely mad because I was
constantly on craft a pedia or whatever.
The Minecraft Wiki is looking up recipes and stuff and I I hated
it and then a year later, I'm knowing recipes off the top of
my head like it's nothing and you'd always get the people on
the server like hey, what's the recipe for this and you say so
it would give yourself some communication to the other
people which I really like that. So I went from hating not having
the crafting book to loving the fact that it wasn't there.
And then now that we have the crafting book back.
I love / hate it. As one I can flip through
recipes like it's nothing I can make blocks fast.
And that is great when you're doing like iron blocks and stuff
like that making fences and stuff.
The downfall is I don't remember recipes to save my life.
Now the other day I went what is in a comparator.
It's like many comparators all the time.
Why can't I remember what's in a comparator?
See? I really like the grafting book
because You got all the recipes like you don't have to really
remember them all so it's sort of it's a list of what blocks
you can have in the game. Yeah, that that helps me during
building. It's just a great way to get
some inspiration. You open the crafting book just
scroll through blocks and just look at the books.
But I really like the point you made like before you would know
the recipes and if we create like jet on the server like Hey,
how do you make this and you get something to answer?
Yeah, and they sort of Remove that by getting the crafting
book. I didn't notice it because for
me I just started. I always played on the PC always
Java. So I never I just went from
having no crafting book to having one which was amazing dog
or not. I think the good of the crafting
book definitely outweighs the bad.
I don't want to put down the craft book at all.
If if they were to take it away today.
I've like million why Yeah, it's a convenient really is.
Okay. So we're on number three now,
right? Yeah.
My number three was redstone. All the stuff I mean obviously I
know people would put Redstone a lot higher on their list, but I
think I've got two good things above it.
But Redstone is what keeps me playing this game building I can
get very bored at creating a new far more Automated machine.
I can never get bored with that in Minecraft.
It's to the point now where I watch a tutorial on a farm and
if the farm, isn't that Complicated I'm trying to build
my own and that's what happened with my XP machine.
I think it's spent three episodes working on that thing
plus several live streams because I didn't really look up
a tutorial on how to build it. I just said, okay, I want to use
bamboo and I want to use Cactus. I did a little bit of quick
math. I said, okay, this is how much I
need for each way off. I can't count so Yeah Redstone
in general the thousands of years that I saw mumbo-jumbo
build a house that walked like a spider this week what I know
what the amount of stupid stuff you can do with red stones
amazing and I love it. I mean, I'm fully agree with you
that when I first started playing Minecraft and or when I
first realized I started I played it for a while already.
Um, I was like, yeah, it's Redstone.
Like there's so many survival games out there.
I've played so many of them as well and they all they were they
couldn't keep me playing it right and and Minecraft has
Redstone, which there's almost an infinite amount of options in
it. Like it's red.
Stone itself is quite old already.
Like it's what six years old. Maybe I'm not sure.
And they're still discovering to yeah, like it's ridiculous.
The last major red. So component they added to the
game was The Observer and it's not a wants a huge advancement
to Redstone. It's a very good Advance our
interests own, but for the most part of the last couple years
Redstone has stayed the same and they're still figuring out ways
to push Redstone limits. And then they added honey blocks
broke Redstone again, which is again like a whole new set of
things that are gonna it's not even Redstone Redstone.
It's a honey Block. It's sort of it and it yeah, I
know right Frank's Redstone. I shouldn't say break redstone.
It is the next evolutionary step in Redstone.
Well, that's another thing I thought of but I hadn't put it
on the list, but I'm just going to mention it.
No for it. I mean it's sort of links to it.
But the fact that you got things like slime blocks and how many
blocks that affect Redstone mechanics and the factor of
those like little I didn't know I would almost say unexpected
things that happen in the game that I don't think even like
Mojang anticipated would happen. I think but powered stuff that
that's Redstone specifically it happened.
There's a lot of we are things you can do with books Yeah.
Well, yeah the Simon dimension of deeper into it.
You have the lectern which is not a redstone block.
But yeah Redstone you have a cauldron that's not a redstone
block but works Redstone you have glazed terracotta that is
affected by slime blocks differently.
The other blocks same with obsidian and furnaces Waldorf
water. I mean, I mean lava when you put
lava and water with the Observer, does that still do the
random tick? I can't remember if they got rid
of that or not, but for a while yet, you have an observer
watching lava and water and you get a random tick go off.
So I mean, these are non Redstone items that are pushing
the evolutionary step of redstone and at the same time,
they're not adding Redstone to the game.
Yeah, exactly. I mean that yeah, they're still
discovering new things like the more time.
They get the more they'll discover.
Yeah. And it doesn't seem to be an end
to it. Now.
It really doesn't so I mean the day they come out with like blue
stone. I mean heads will explode it was
it was a it was a good joke, but I still love to see it happen.
I'm the same way both. My monitors just decided to shut
off for some reason. Oh, did they go?
They just melt your PC do in a while and it went is basically I
forgot to move my mouse everyone.
While all right. All right, but I see your number
three and I think the way you you have to say it exactly how
you wrote it because it's hilarious.
Yeah, I like that look test. Why do you like it your chest
Bank? I mean, I'm not really sure how
to put it into words but there's sort of well, you said it it's
they're sort of a safe which I think is one of the best words
to describe it but you got like a personal safe which you can
easily move around, huh? It's such a convenient thing and
it's unlike anything. I've really seen I think well in
some games you have a chest that sort of one chest and you can
open it up places, but I yeah. I didn't know that little chest
are great. I agree.
I didn't really think about inner chest when doing my top
ten list. If I did they probably would
have made top 10, but the Ender Chest they they change the game
really, especially when you combine them with choker boxes.
Yeah, I mean even without yoga books just download test was
still a great like the game will be so much harder a lot harder
but things could get so much more tedious.
If you wouldn't have that. I agree a hundred percent.
I'm saying that a lot this episode.
So if you guys are getting annoyed with me saying that just
like the shut up, they'll start making like me.
It's just my skin holding up like a fist to says hundred
percent. A hundred percent.
What is it instead of omni seal of approval?
It's on percent approved by Duds.
I wouldn't talk the about this to my Chico's real things are
gonna go probably. All right.
So should we move on to the next item?
I think that's a good idea. So my number 2 item was the
multiplayer experience doesn't matter.
What game would you? Playing on it's just the fact
that you're going to be playing with a friend and I say that
because I probably have more friends on Minecraft than I do
in real life just from this one game and that's not saying I
have no friends in real life. It's just as bad as that really
sounds it's just that I have time to play Minecraft more so
than like I've got friends who have families and they're
constantly busy. So I only see them one to two
times a month really if I'm lucky.
But bank I hang out with you like four times a week on the
game. Yeah, so I mean stuff like
that's crazy. You're teaching me Dutch for
heaven's sakes because of Minecraft, right?
Hey, it's for London. I mean that I've asked you like
electronic stuff as well. Like hey, I just yeah, I mean,
yeah, you don't get that with a lot of other games if I'm
playing Battlefield. I'm not learning Dutch playing
Battlefield unless it's how do I say?
I'm going to blow your Your head off and Dutch.
I mean you just don't get it. You ain't got the time for that
Minecraft is such a chill game. You're just hanging out and
talking and building. It's awesome.
Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
It's I mean we're doing this because of that we really are.
I mean, I think I said it as a joke of I'm going to do a
Minecraft podcast and then I kept getting bugged.
But hey when you starting the podcast and it's like okay when
I come up with the name and sure enough me and Yeah, and then we
started thinking of and I mean you are on stream and the name
of the withering effect came out.
I had to take wall crap. I guess we haven't broadcast to
start recording and every record once and here we are 12 stuff at
22 weeks later. I know right?
That's nearly all for you. You guys are crazy for listening
to us this long. Well, I mean, it's awesome that
they do. Yeah, but still crazy.
This is where hundred percent proof, but Duds comes out.
Okay. So what's your number two?
I really like that Minecraft does a lot of like small
gimmicky things that I kind. Okay, useless in a way like the
chorus plant when you eat it it teleports you a little bit that
the parrots imitating sounds you got fireworks.
You got music discs like there's just why are they there?
There's just no reason besides just to have a little fun.
Oh, which I think is also we talked about this last episode
the parrots not doing certain sounds anymore.
Yeah, finally saw why they don't do it.
Oh so not doing a polar bear and Enderman or Pigman is because
those are neutral mobs. They're no longer going to do
neutral mob sounds Which doesn't make sense to me at all?
Because they still do like wolf sounds and cats and stuff like
that. Those are friendly mobs.
I would assume it's like I don't get it.
But so I guess they will still do sheep and cows as well.
That's what I'm assuming but it's because they're neutral
mobs which again I don't understanding get but that was
the reasoning behind it because I remember saying if anyone
knows the reason tell me and then I saw it on exhume his
video, so I figured I'd bring it up in the pot.
Past I'm not fully understanding why they do it.
But yeah anyways back to your stuff.
Yeah chorus plants teleporting around is Goofy and could be
fun. Yeah.
It's just the fact that they put effort into doing those kinds of
things that I like them. I kind of want to build a mini
game around eating course plans now, Who you could do imagine
amazed that the only way you can get around in is by eating the
chorus playing teleporting. I once I could be used to
correspond useful that girl's gonna do work better.
But if you're on a high Edge like with a steep cliff and you
stand like your hover over like the when you when you're almost
hovering in the sky when you just press shift and you walk
all the way. Yeah Edge and then either course
fruit. You have a chance you get
teleported all the way to the bottom.
So it's a way to like travel safely down a large drop.
Basically, I would say that it's good for like, uh see stuff but
I don't think anyone goes the end.
Don't you HCS so I think they have some but yeah, that doesn't
sound like a smart idea. No, especially if you have to
fight the dragon as soon as you get to the end.
Yeah. No, it's nothing really to get.
Yeah, but I mean, I know pearls I guess yeah the gimmicky stuff
kind of really cool. I'm trying to think of anything
else that could be like that writing a big.
Yeah, I said before that. You got a lot of Transportation
options and that they're all sort of cool.
But I mean a big big sis gimmicky and the fact that you
have a what is it rolled with a camera well and you get that
achievement When Pigs Fly yeah, so is that still I don't know if
it is actually change that sounds means they might have
frowned on the making a pig walk off a cliff thing.
Oh, yeah, I mean it makes sense animal cruelty and safe.
Yeah, but I think our number ones lineup.
Yeah, they do a little bit Yeah, they kinda line.
So my number one was constant updates for free meaning One Day
by the game. You have the game whenever
million puts out anything for the game.
You have that update. You don't have to constantly pay
five dollars here $20 there or like some of these games got to
the point where you're paying $60 for the game and it's three
months later $60 for an update and then three months after
that. $60 for another update you have the game that's like
monthly subscription Lee subscriptions.
It's like once you buy the game you're in for life.
And that's also I don't believe that like like you said like a
lot of games like a new game usually around sixty sixty
dollars and Euros in those prices are similar.
I don't know about other currencies, but I mean, why
would ya what Minecraft is like 20 25 It's relatively cheap game
as well. Oh, yeah, I mean that's why I
have multiple Minecraft accounts.
It's because it's such a cheap game and I don't have to worry
about buying another copy couple months down the road Mmm Yeah
Yeah, like you said they just keep bringing out stuff.
They constantly update it you get new stuff and it's all it's
all for free. They just keep developing.
I mean you look at 113 and 114 by themselves.
Those were huge updates to this game granted both of them pretty
much broke. Game for the first two months of
coming out when they updated. But yeah, but if I mean going to
a coral reef in an ocean biome nowadays, I still my jaw drops.
It's so pretty. Yeah, I just like being on the
boat and going over the ocean all together, but it really gets
fun when you get to a goal reef and it was a free update.
You don't get that other other places.
I want to say Fallout 76 was charging you like 20.
Dollars to change the color of your armor to like blue.
It's like $20 to change something to Blue.
Really. I know that's one reason.
I quit playing Destiny. I loved Destiny.
It was finally a cool game. That was a shooter that you
didn't extremely focus on PVP all the time.
So you get with a bunch of friends and goes do random shoot
em ups with monsters and stuff like that, but you want Change
the color of that armor 599 what know like if it's in the game,
it should be in the game. I shouldn't have to buy more.
I mean, I feel the same with all these DLC that you usually have
to buy and stuff. So I just make an update.
It's an update for the game. Give it well the only DLC that I
always would buy on a consistent basis was the battlefield DLC
and that's because I knew that game only came out once every
two years. So if you were to buy the DLC
that DLC was guaranteeing you content for two years and I saw
it as I paid $60 for basically one year of content and then
another $60 for a second year of content and I was okay with it.
That's how I Justified. It course Battlefield 5 this
last one there. You paid nothing for the DLC
anymore. So $60 gives you 2 years of DLC
content. The only problem is I don't like
the game so That's a bit for that one time.
I am sick and tired of historical Warfare.
I don't know why they chose World War II after doing World
War one because that basically means four straight years of
historical War. I'm curious with the ever go
like maybe evil. I kind of doubt it Roman Empire
of times and stem also really hoping they don't go futuristic.
I don't think futuristic warfare's any fun.
Well, they did the Star Wars one.
Yeah that sucked too. Oh, I are people being quite
positive. I'd never play it by the first
Battlefront was an okay one and granted there were battlefronts
before dice the creator of Battlefield took over and the
first one was good. It was just lacking some content
and then they came up with the second one that was supposed to
be more in-depth and everything like that and it was but it was
put behind pay walls. And supposedly this wasn't dices
call. This was EA being EA saying hey
pay us a ton of money for this game and it got a ton of
backlash got thrown through the wringer to the point where
basically said, yeah, they said, okay, we're washing our hands of
this. We're giving the game fully two
dice. Let them do what they do and
since then dice has really changed it and turned it around
and it's supposedly a top-rated game now, but I'm one of those
my trust was broken so I won't go back.
I can play it. I get the official even though I
loved I said I love the battlefield series, but even
Battlefield 5, I think I played for about a month and went no it
just put it away. I didn't even pay attention to
build a field five anymore. I didn't realize it exists it.
Yeah, Battlefield 6 hurry up and get here so I get back to
shooting people. But yeah, it's considering we
kind of stopped talking about my crops.
