Hey everyone. Welcome to the weathering effect
episode 84 today's date is February 28th 2021 and I am
dead. You're dead versus known to the
rest of the interwebs now I'm Jim Bell.
You may know me as Jimbo slice, 23.
So, how's your week been so far? That's long.
Wrong. Then the weekend short.
Yeah them weekends always seem to go by pretty fast.
Yeah, well man. So most of the week this week
I've had a lot of stuff to do outside of work.
So I haven't been able to do much recording and I was like,
ah, I'll just save it for the weekend.
We'll get it done then and come the weekend.
I'm over here like I'm only halfway done with this video.
What is going on? I'm working on a villager
trading Hall and my biggest problem was yesterday.
No, Friday night, I stayed on rather late trying to come up
with a design. So, originally, I had an idea
for an entrance for my base, but the entrance required.
A lot of Courts. I was like, I don't have a way
to get a lot of quartz. What are two ways to get courts?
You had the pig latin bartering. Well, that means I need to build
a gold fire. Yeah, I think I'm not doing
that. So that was like, the other way
is villager trading. I was like, well, I want to have
one of those in my base anyways, so I'll go ahead and work on
that. Designed a villager trading Hall
in my head, I should say. And went, put it in game and I
went, and this is ugly. So it's like, mmm.
All right. That's three hours worth of work
for nothing. Time to start over.
Oh no, I've been there. Yeah so I ended up coming up
with a design about two hours before my stream day on Saturday
or stream time. So I was able to do the bulk of
work on stream. I put that into a time-lapse.
Apps, which actually came out pretty good?
I was pretty happy with that time lapse.
I was kind of worried about it, but it came out good.
The room itself is come out, really, really nice.
I used a Mesa style palette as I'm calling it a lot of
terracotta. A lot of oranges.
I use, stripped acacia wood as over my offset colors, I would
have never thought I would use stripped acacia wood, but I
didn't, and it looks really good.
I like it. Yeah, we were watching you live,
and You didn't have your best counting day that day.
I did not kept tearing it down and moving things around because
the counting is counting ability.
Wasn't there? No.
And anyone who watches the time lapse in the episode, if you pay
close attention like you have to look for it.
I was able to get that time lapse to move so smoothly that
you can't tell an entire wall is off by one.
Mmm. I was able to do the time lapse
in a way. You have to know when it
happened. You had to be in stream too,
noooo. Okay.
When he got this far that's when he realized the wall was off and
he had a tear it down and rebuild it.
Don't worry guys, I'll time stamp it in the video in the
comments everyone can see it. Hmm.
And I was kind of proud of that you know hiding my inability to
count till Jimbo called me. Uh yeah I just know, everyone
knows everyone knows I can't count to ten.
Sorry it went as I can't. Read.
So we're even we're just, we're just the epitome of Brilliance,
aren't we? Mmm, put us together and you
have a third grader if you barely get in Minecraft shoot.
What about you have as your week actually built and completed my
flower farm that I was making in the swamp.
I know how does that thing work? Dude, Here's my thought.
Go in creative mode. I'm like, okay, got a bone meal,
this grass to get the flowers. That's how you do it.
Hmm? So put the dispenser underneath
of it, it would boom, me a one time you give it a pulse, boom.
Well no bone meal, three times, bam, bam bam.
Yeah and it would only go off once because once you bone meal
that block, it'll only bone meal that block.
Like it'll bone meal that grass that piece of grass.
Yeah. So I would have to break my
thought. I would have to break whatever
grows there real fast. Fast with it.
So I needed two signals on both ends, one to dispense the, the
bone meal, and the other one to break it as its dispensing, and
it freaking worked. I timed it up.
Perfectly to wear, both of these are going off at the exact same
time and it's growing and breaking it which produces more
grass. Mmm, all in all.
So, I'm hitting it three times with bone meal and flushing it
down the drain. If if you guys happen to see,
This Farm, it's definitely different.
I wasn't trying to be different or unique.
It was just the first thought in my head and I got to work.
So I just rolled with that. It's it's pretty unique though.
I'm pretty proud of. It doesn't take up too much room
either or it's crazy because we both built Flower Farms and
season. And my first thought was like
you said when you bonemeal the grass obviously you're not going
to be able to bone meal anymore because the grass is there.
So it's just going to bone meal that one piece of grass.
They were my first thought was again.
How do I get Rid of this grass. And I went to the shifting floor
method. So I just looked for somebody
who had a shifting floor farm, mmm.
And basically, he took the essence of how that worked and
built it into a way where I could functionally use it the
way I wanted to. Yeah, you were just like, no,
I'm gonna smack that one block until this Farm.
Does what I want? Imma beat it into submission,
I'ma beat it till it works. That's what happened.
And I was, I had the bread soon all over place.
I got my items splitting. Perfect like this, this Redstone
episode couldn't have gone more perfect.
Like I've had a lot of fails this year.
This one was my highlight, but it was, it was a lot of fun.
I watched you build this thing and I was like, there's no way
in the world. This is going to work first, try
and then it did. Yeah.
They had no business working, it'll probably break your suit,
but if you guys want to check it out, you could see it on the, my
YouTube channel. Yeah, it's definitely worth
looking at because it is a very cool farm.
Yeah, it's pretty different besides that.
I've been looking into getting a new GPU and lo and behold you
just got one sword up. Well, I just got a new.
I got a 2060. Yeah, that was a that was a
while ago. I was looking to get a new one
but there's no gpus now. There's no gpus out there.
If you want to get a GPU, you're paying double the price.
You'll poop. So that's out the window.
Now, I notice when I play I'm getting some tearing in my
screen now. My screens are only 60 hertz and
with the equipment I got, I could definitely push 120 or 140
for hurt. So I think I'm just going to
upgrade my monitors to where it's more game friendly.
There's a monitor that's easier on the eyes and a Zeus monitor.
So thinking about getting a couple those don't know if are
probably not going to be a video for it.
Did you pee you? I could have made a video for
but the monitors A pretty simple, plug them in.
Now, put them in the state. And so, yeah, I think I'm gonna
go with that instead of the gpus.
Let me know if anyone's got a GPU for sale, so you say that
I've been wanting to build a new PC for a while.
I'm running a RTA or 9 RJ X, let's not say what a risin Seven
Seventeen hundred X and A GeForce GTX 275.
So I've got some old Hardware but it does the job.
I can't complain lunch. Yeah.
I have monitors that are also so old that they're using the white
component cable. Not an HDMI, not a display port,
but a component cable oh yeah, you need this more than me but
yeah, it works. So I have like a hmm.
Spend my money elsewhere, bought a new mic because it's like
that's where I needed. The upgrade the most yeah,
bought a new controller because that's what I use the most.
I was considering a new mic of was Was so I might I don't know
that could that could definitely be that.
Definitely could be possible with the monitors because that
was going to spend a good bit for a new graphics card and the
monitors are pretty good price but don't want to overdo it.
Yea, but yeah I'll good. Get my monitors first Mike's
next. I don't see me getting a GPU for
a long time. No, until these things.
Go back down. Yeah.
That's kind of out of the picture.
Yeah. You have Bitcoin mining which is
going on. Now and not to mention, there's
a huge silica shortage. So basically anything that uses
silica, which is basically anything that uses a computer
chip and motherboard anything like that.
I think the Auto industry is kind of taking precedence over
everything else right now. Mmm, so that's where all the
silica is going, which is making it even harder to make gpus.
And then on top of that, the gpus that are being made are
being bought up rather quickly. Buy Bitcoin miners.
Mmm. It's like Oh yeah, the Bitcoin
mining, yo, you'll see people with hundreds of gpus, you know,
trying to get the Bitcoin. I was actually looking into,
that doesn't look like it doesn't look like a too bad of a
deal, but it is risky now. But again, I could get GP used
to farm anything anyway, but a lot of it, some of it has to do
with, you know, with covid. People have to work from home.
They need equipment at home, so they're buying computer software
and stuff or equipment. So, Yeah, there's a bunch of
different reasons why there's no gpus and I'm just hoping to get,
you know, a decent price for a GP you soon.
Yeah. You and me both.
Anyway. Should we get into news because
we have snapshot news this week. Yeah, let's do it.
So snapshot 21w. 08 a, I think they have already come up with a
be also to fix a couple issues. They had nothing too crazy.
Let's talk about the big changes for the snapshot though, so
they've tweaked cave. Sizes further.
So everything feels a little bit more uniform.
You're not going to have the giant caves all over the place
this time. They've kind of been distributed
in a more spread out nature. So it's not crazy hole
underneath every part of the world.
Hmm, Canyon and Cave, Carver's, which I think is what they're
referring to as some of the older terrain generation.
Now we'll apply below y0. Cracks can now be found carved
into the ground which are Really cool grimstone has been changed
to deep slate. They've also added the Deep
slate Wars. That was talked about last week
or grimstone, oars, from last week, the distribution of or is
has been further tweaked. We have a chart for that would
go over. Mmm, andesite no longer.
Generates under y0, sad, Doug noises tough.
Now sometimes generate under y0 tough layer of amethyst geodes
has been replaced with a new type of stone called, Of Basalt
smooth. Basalt is now obtained by
smelting Basalt. Another round of tweaking has
been done on the new textures of oars and Blackstone emerald and
Lapis Lazuli or textures have had some touch-ups mineshafts.
Don't once again generate in the open air caves particles.
Now up here in the air around Spore, blossoms slime, blocks
and honey blocks have been moved to the Redstone tab of the
creative inventory. That was really hard to say,
with my nose constantly, trying to clog it.
Fit in the middle of talking. You did.
Well, you did pretty well. But yeah, so let's go with the
Tweet cave sizes to start with mmm.
I think this is a welcome change.
That was one of my biggest worries was the amount of
lighting up. We were going to have to do
under caves. Yeah.
To get any kind of efficient Farm running.
Hmm so that's nice Canyon cave. Carver's going under y 0 it just
looks okay. I mean there's not much to say
about Out it it looks natural that way instead of having the
hard stop above zero. Yeah, it's kind of hard to
determine, you know what's natural and what's not?
Because it's not like the real world, it is Minecraft but I
think they're implementing it pretty well.
Yeah. I guess they have like they
developed a case through like sound or noise, some kind of
noise and able to distribute all the caves pretty evenly.
I'm not like evenly, but it seems like everything's breaking
up to where it's pretty. Spread out.
It's not crazy. All on top of each other now.
Yeah, yeah, right. More defined.
Let's do it that way. That seems like a better way of
saying it. Yeah.
Hopefully, they can, it will help separate biomes that are
under the world, you know, with the different Generations?
Mmm. Because we don't know how the
biomes are going to separate. I mean, odds are it's just kind
of like the top of the surface, you know, you could probably see
the line. Yeah.
When you cross the biome, see, I'm upset the andesite doesn't
generate under y 0 anymore. Some people may say it's not
Tough. Enough thing is, they're both,
I'm done. Which it was referring to is now
that tough is replacing andesite under y 0 and a site was the
only I to spawn under y 0 in the last snapshot because it is the
best eyesight of all. But they've decided replace that
with tough and it makes sense because the tough texture
actually looks a lot better with deep slate than andesite and
dacite really stuck out a bit. Yeah, and it's like, definitely
one of my It blocks in the game. So to have a new easy way of
mining it, I was looking forward to that, but I understand change
and now that we have tough as an easy to Define block, I'll
probably work that in there somewhere and my building.
Yeah, I feel like they tried to like lighten up, the Deep slate,
oars or the Deep Sleep blocks, a little bit.
They did to make the andesite fit but it just wouldn't fit.
I mean, it's a, it's a lot different.
It's a lot like Brighter Than This.
This deep sleep block, and yeah, the tough fits in there, pretty
good, it still stands out a little bit.
The tough block, of course it is.
But yeah, that's a, I think that's a good change.
I like it. Why?
And we have smooth Basalt now, too.
Mmm. Don't forget about that.
That's a whole new block, right? And it's a pretty looking block.
Hmm. Yeah.
I could have used that. You could have used that mmm
problem with Basalt. Now is every site is different,
so, it's hard, you know, you got to really watch how you place
them. It could help if you want
different textures of that, but when I'm working with, I it is a
pain to try to get these blocks to right way.
And yeah, I don't think it, I think smooth Basalt is the same
texture all way around. If I'm not mistaken, I couldn't
be mistaken. I've only seen the one picture
of it, so I don't know. Yeah, it's only one fits like I
need more images. Show me in some more builds and
I'm sure there's some out there now.
But as of recording, I've only seen the one image.
It's like I want more. Yeah, it'd be nice.
It'd be nice to have it all the same side.
Yeah, on Basalt. Maybe not with the smooth
variant, not sure yet. You know, depends because I
really like doing any polished Basalt in the crosshatch.
Yeah, where you lay one, lay it on its side and then you stand
it up laying on its side standing up.
It really looks good that way. Mmm.
Okay. It's all over my base.
Yeah, it could look really good if he use it that way, but the
way I'm using it, man. Yeah, using it in a gradient,
kind of hard. Mmm.
Right. I'm using it to fade from color
to color and it looks like it stands out as a block and not as
like, a fading texture and if that makes sense, could be just
in my head. Yeah, but let's go ahead and
move on to your notes. What do you have on the new
snapshot? We have deep slate.
Talking about the Deep site. Grimstone is now called Deep
site. Deep slate.
Now has a top Tech ER, and a new block, called Kabul deep site,
which drops from Deep slate. Think you, if you have silk
touch, you can mind the Deep slate with the new top texture.
Yep. And the Kabul would be, if you'd
mind it with anything else. The cobbled variant is the same,
but without the top texture and is also used to craft all deep,
sleep variant variants, instead deep slate now, has the unique
set of sounds very crunchy. Indeed.
Nice. Let's talk some deep slate.
I was a little worried when I saw the Deep slate had a top
texture. Yeah, yeah, me, too.
I don't like it. I don't like the top texture at
all. But because they gave us cobbled
deep slate. Which removes that top texture.
I'm cool with it. They're giving us more options.
It's an option. I don't like but somebody else
will like it. And I still get the Cobble deep
slate as what I wanted originally.
So there's nothing really to complain about.
It's just I saw that first picture.
I went oh no, they ruined deep. Late.
And then I was like, oh wait, nope we're back again.
Yeah, I didn't mind the old texture, I don't mind the new
one either. Mmm.
Yeah, it could definitely be annoying, you know.
Trying to place the regular deep sleep just because of that, top
texture and is definitely going to get annoying.
Some people might want that texture in there build though.
Yes, there's definitely gonna be some people who can use it very
well. What it would be cool if it was
again, a rotation block, I'm thinking it's gonna be like
Sandstone, you know how Sandstone always has that top
texture on it unless you do Smooth Sandstone.
Yeah and I don't like that at all.
But if deep slate allows you to rotate the texture, depending on
how you place it that could be super useful.
Yeah. But I mean, besides the Deep
slate and the Kabul deep slate, the new textures for like the
brick in the tile. They look great.
They really do definitely going to use those.
Yeah, I'm going to use the heck out of some deep slight.
It's similar to Stone, but just a little bit darker.
Sure, let's see. I think it's it's the black
Bloc. We wanted when we saw Black
Stone before we black realize Blackstone had a lot of purple
in it. Yeah, now Blackstone still
black, don't get me wrong, but it has this purple tint to it.
So it works really good. In the nether when you have Reds
or blues or other blacks with it, it works really well.
But when you do a contrasting block with the white one, it
feels a little off. I'm using it actually.
With oranges in my Village or trading Halt and it looks great
doing that but I would never consider it.
A pure black block like black concrete, this deep slate,
definitely feels more black and it allows for the contrast
blocks to fit nicely. I really like the texture.
It definitely has its not more black and like darker.
I mean the black Stones definitely darker.
Yes. Yeah, there's definitely like a
little bit of like a Purple Hue with it.
You know it's definitely it's not completely black, you could
put it next to a coal block and that'll be that's black.
Yeah, yeah. Just a coal block texture is not
nice and I won't go as far as Carl to say, it's just purple
because it's not, it is black. Mmm, it's just got a little Hue
of purple. Yeah, which works out well for
the block. Yeah, I mean, I I'm using it.
I've used a ton of it. I could see it a little bit, it
doesn't really phase me, you know, it's kind of like the
back. To my base, you know, it's kind
of in the background. Yeah.
But what I'm thinking is, well, I'm going to put my money on and
I may be wrong, but we found that when I guess on the show, I
am generally, right? If not kind of close to right.
But what's his that? Deep slate is going to have
another variant called slate. Mmm, I'm thinking you put deep
slate in a furnace and it'll give you a Father, kind of a
more polished and a lighter color more white than black.
So basically when we first sold diorite and we thought, oh man,
new white block. But then we realized it looked
like bird poop. Yeah.
I think slate can be a better diorite that doesn't look like
there's poop or bird poop. Yeah, I think you're right and I
could be completely wrong in. There's probably some Mojang
devil like laughing behind the scenes.
Go he's not getting that. Ha ha ha.
Send me like that one but I would definitely love to see us
late. They're really working on this
gradient Trend that's going around Minecraft.
Hmm. A lot of people are trying to
hey, use this texture or start with this texture to get to this
texture. And here's all the blocks to use
to get the gradient in between. Mmm.
And I feel that 117s really having fun with that gradient.
And I think a slate block would almost look a lot.
Like, what? What we would consider granite
countertops. The really white with just a
hint of Grey's in it. Okay.
I'm thinking kind of like that. Not pure white but not diorite
either. Yeah, well, you kind of get that
with calcite, it's kind of like a smooth diorite.
Oh yeah, that's true. No, I I completely forgot about
that. I was going to bring up.
Did you see this many blocks being added to this update?
No, I did not think there's this.
It's room for more stone blocks. And here we get this deep slate
with like what eight different variants to it.
It's crazy. How many more blocks are
bringing. So I've said from the beginning
that one the deep dark and the warden definitely piqued my
interest but dripstone the renewable lava source was that
was my Victory lap. That's the one thing I've been
the most excited for not anymore.
Deep slate is the amount of building I can do a deep slate.
It's gone. On through the roof so keep it
up magic. Yeah, only thing about the plate
is as of right now. You can't in stem on it.
No, it's a little bit harder to mine, but it's still still
beautiful, but because so much of it generates below, y 0, it's
still going to be easy to find because you can just go down
there with a haste to Beacon. And yes, it's not instant mind,
but you're still going to be mining.
It's super quick because all you have to do is stand in a spot
and just starts spinning around. Yeah, I mean, one mining session
will give you More than enough Stone.
Oh, yeah. You need to, you know, you go
down there. One mining session might take
you a little longer but you're going to get plenty of it.
There's it's very abundant. Oh yeah, let's talk about very
crunchy sound. Oh yeah.
I've ever since the nether update.
The sound in the game. I loved man.
Placing down. Bone blocks.
Is the greatest thing in the world.
Yeah like I might use boom blocks.
And Every build from now on just because of the sound, they make,
I never used bone blocks until 116, and I think I only use them
because I like the sound of placing content.
Yeah. It's always been a nice texture,
I've purposely not listened to what the Deep slate sound is
because I like experiencing it in the release version, the full
effect, but it's kind of, I want to know Especially when I hear
crunchy. Mmm, that's all you.
Need. Know, I have a feeling it's
gonna sound like rubbing rocks together in your hand.
That's what I think it's going to sound like, mmm, maybe a
little bit, there's different kinds of noises.
You know, when you I think when you break and place the block,
you get two different noises. Then when you run across it, you
get that. Crunchy noise.
Yeah. And each.
What's, what's crazy? Is?
Each variant makes a different sound.
Oh, yeah. Slightly different, which is
pretty cool. I didn't see that coming either.
Yeah. Yeah, ever since the nether
update, man, they've been really putting time into the sound that
the blocks different blocks make.
And I'm loving that I like for them to do that with each block,
if they could. Oh yeah.
And it looks like they are lot of work, but Gigi's for putting
in the work Mojang. Yeah, well done.
Anyways, oars deep sleep. Oars they added deep sleep
version of iron gold, lapis, Redstone and Diamond Wars at
generate wherever those oars replaced.
Deep slate below. Y0, twice is tough to mind, as
normal Wars. Kind of talked about that did
not see that part coming. Mmm.
But we obviously know, deep slate is a tough block to mine,
so it would make sense that the or versions would be tough to
mine. Also.
Yeah the textures I love the new textures.
Yeah again they're they're playing with that 3D look that I
liked about the lodestone. The lodestone.
Has a very 3D look. These ores have that Very 3D
look and I think they're beautiful.
We talked about generation because or generation changed a
little bit again. Yeah, not so much why levels and
stuff, but they're experimenting with sunblock some blocks not
generating next to an AIR block. So if you're going caving you
won't see an or block printing. I think Diamond might be one of
those and Lapis again, they use the chart that's really small.
So when you try to zoom in it just blurs all the text Yeah,
only make out so much. Yeah.
But I'm 100% against this because the new caves was for
you to do caving, and not so much mining.
But now if you can't see the or then why bother caving and you
would have a better chance just going mining, that's a good
point. Yeah, I'm not a fan of that.
I get what you're trying to do, but that's my two cents.
I don't know my thought process sometimes fairies from everyone
else. There's definitely times we were
like does what you talking about that stupid?
Well, I'm here to say if you want me to do caving don't hide
the or blocks because then I'm just going to go mining.
Yeah, probably still go mining anyways.
I mean, I really like how they distributed all the oars yes,
the distributions great. Yeah, it looks about right where
everything would be, the emerald still up high.
If you want to majority of emeralds you have to go up high
for it. I like that, you know, gives you
a reason to go to the mountains, iron and copper, The same area.
Yeah, but ya never really thought about cave mining, if
they're going to hide them in the caves.
And that's not going to be an option, you know, you have to go
caving for caving. Exploring.
You know, won't give you a reason to go down there.
If there's no Wars, I think it's more to make the caves look
prettier because that's always kind of been a play.
Especially when you have random like andesite diorite Granite
sticking on the wall. It doesn't look as good.
Hmm. Same with like Like coal or and
stuff like that. But yeah, if you want me to do
caving let me go caving. Don't hide the stuff I'm looking
for, because at that point, it's just like I'm just going to dig
down until y0 and go from there. Hmm.
Well, more than likely widen - 20-something now.
Probably, that seems to be where the good stuff is.
Yeah. Usually when I mined diamonds, I
go, well, when I mine, I mined diamonds, so I go to Diamond
level. It looks like, that's the lowest
the lowest you can go so you can get Yeah, the lowest you goes
the new diamond level, that's for sure.
It's also the new Redstone level, right?
Yeah. It's Ritz is pretty abundant
down there too. Yeah.
Cold doesn't generate below y 0, which I think is cool.
Yeah, that's nice. Same with emeralds.
Yeah, they're specific spots are going to go.
Yeah. You can definitely see.
There's now a mining strategy but the hiding the oars there is
no like lava level. So that's the thing about mining
is you don't know if you're going to run into This lava
usually y11 would keep you right at it or above it right now.
You there is that chance you might mind into lava because
there's no set level for that is there.
I know they brought lava back for this snapshot, mmm, but I
didn't take a close look. Everyone just said well I was
back so I don't know. It looked like it was all kind
of different levels of lava and it's not like Lakes.
Now there's like little ponds of lava not like big lakes like are
were yeah. Not that.
I've seen. Another thing that we didn't
mention, is the what the stone that generates in the Deep
slate, the regular Stone. It's called I can't remember
what it's called. It's a different name.
Looks just like Stone. That's the infested Stone
infested Stone from the silverfish.
That's probably going to change. That's probably going to end up
being infested. Deep slate.
Okay, they just haven't gotten to it yet.
Yeah, I didn't know. That's where the Silver shit.
Silver shift silverfish came from?
Yeah, is infested said, yep. So we might see some silver fish
down there. That being said, we need to, we
need to go. We're running out of time.
All right. I'll read this out.
Not that much. Okay.
Yeah, we just need to hop off the nudes.
If you guys have something else you want us to talk about the
snapshot hit us on the Discord, but we got listener comments to
talk about on top of mending Minecraft.
Yeah, better get to it. Yeah.
This week's listener comments from Chief Big Bear.
They asked what was it aspect of Minecraft that you thought you
would hate when it first announced but ended up really
enjoying when it was eventually added to the game.
Now, both me and Jim those answers Jimbo and I if you want
to be grammatically, correct, whatever.
Same update, but different aspects of the update, right?
Mine was a light ra. I could see that.
Yeah, at first, like we talked about in the pre-show, it was
kinda to modded, you know. Okay.
That kind of, I'm never going to use those for one, you know, all
you do is just what you kind of hover or not hover, but you
Glide, yeah, because there was no propulsion, right?
So it was kind of like, okay, this thing is cool, you can get
from high in the world to, you know, you can jump down and
glide wherever you want. That's cool.
But you have to get up high to do.
So, mmm, I thought a Lytro was kind of like this could ruin the
game if they don't fix it Minecraft's over now.
Yeah, throw away. Trash it.
No, but I light ra change the game with the Rockets once.
They implemented the Rockets. I liked her became extremely
useful. Yeah.
Right then. And there I was like, I have got
to get one of these. When it first came out, it was
essentially just a parachute. Yeah, it was a parachute.
You had to knowingly put on, it wasn't just one of those that
was on your back all the time because face it, there was no
point in putting in a lighter on to lose a chest plate at that
time. Yeah, now with propulsion.
Ian, you don't wear a chestplate because if you're in a bad
situation you just fly and take off.
You get out of there, but you couldn't do that back.
Then there was the punch bows. People remember that.
Let's go to see that but that was not a very good way of
moving around. No.
Don't confuse your bows? Yes.
Because a lot of people do that and they'll shoot each other
with their power 5bo. It's it was real confusing.
Yeah. You got to hit yourself with a
punch to Arrow every so often to keep flight.
Yeah, that was. I didn't play with that at all
because I thought it was annoying, Sam reasonably, so.
But yeah, I'm so glad he brought the rockets in there and improve
the elytra. Now, for me is the combat that
came with the 1.9 update. Same update.
Well, I was so worried when I saw the update, I was like, wait
I'm not going to be able to get as many hits in and all this
kind of stuff and I'm going to get murdered.
You can't block with the sword now.
It turns out 19 combat. I know people still absolutely
despise it, it feels more natural than the other way.
I don't know if anyone's actually try to hold a sword out
and whack it as fast as 1.8 can. That does not feel natural.
That's not how it's not how gravity Works.
Hmm. And granted Minecraft's a game
that constantly defies gravity, but you totally like pop your
shoulder out of the socket. That was the case.
Yeah. If, for some Who would be new to
the game? I think 19 combat would feel
more natural than 18 because that's how you would do things
in real life, you'd have a shield, you would block.
And then swipe whenever you see an opening and then you bring
the shield backup and you block it.
Feels like it was the correct way.
Now seeing all the stuffs Jabs doing for his combat update that
looks way better. Like I'm excited for his update.
Hmm I was worried about the combat update died.
I like it. Now, I don't have a lot of
complaints about it, it but I also agree with Jim, but the
Elijah, when it first came out with just like a, I have to
travel how far in the end to get that thing.
Mmm, I don't think so. Yeah, for like that little bit
of Grace of jumping off a cliff and gliding, we and I remember
having like a for shoulder boxes, made you rich back.
Yeah. Yeah.
There's two. And it's like, well, now I have
nine stacks of shells. Yeah.
Anyway, thank you for that. Chief, Big Bear, that comment
was from our Discord and our Discord is the only place you
could talk to everyone who works on the show.
Easily just take Casas word for it.
Is this thing on? I'm cast and I'm here to figure
out why you have yet to join the withering effect Discord.
It's a great place to hang out with order Minecraft enthusiasts
and the creators of the show. The link to join the Discord is
in the show notes. Thanks for the Discord at Cass.
Speaking of the Discord, it's the only place you can get
involved in armed ending Minecraft vote this week.
We asked you to discuss and choose between one of three
items for us to improve and we said discuss, not a, not all out
Warfare, which put a lot of thought it was going to come
down to your choices were course.
Fruit Trident and armorstand Jimbo is like ready to tell you
which one one? Yeah, I thought you were done
like, wow. You know, I had to take.
Take a breath because my nose is stopped up.
Oh yeah, I've been eager to jump in there.
You're right. Yeah.
It's very close all out war in the Discord over the winner of
this week. Hmm.
And the winner of mining mining cheese.
Come on the winner. Mending Minecraft.
This week is Armor stand with 31 votes.
Followed by Horace fruit with 25, tried it with 11.
So yeah. Course, fruit and armor Stan
were having it out, but this is the first week that the third
option has one. Yep.
It could be reason why one could be.
I think the armored Saint, though is one of those people
have seen what the armor stands can do.
Yeah, and then it's like when you see it in the Nila?
All I can think of is the meme with the little figure with the
stick poking it going. Come on, do something.
Mmm. Yeah, it's yeah.
All right. But tell us about some armor
stands. Yeah.
I got a few things on the armrest and armor stands are
entities, that are able to hold and display wearable items.
It's crafted with six sticks and one smooth.
Stone slab, can be pushed by Pistons, move by flowing water,
food, with fishing rods, and bounced by slime blocks.
It is a falling into In Bedrock addition, there are three 13
possible poses for the armor stand.
And it can also hold items in Bedrock.
This last one I came across, I've never seen, and I don't
think it's true. But it says, armorstands can be
found in Taiga Villages armor houses, or armor houses,
sometimes pre-equipped with armor.
Miss never seen that before. So, if anyone has seen that,
please tell me if you have ever found an armor stand in a Aah.
I would love to find out. Don't think it's Rick.
Yeah, I've never seen it either. I'm not saying it's not real but
that's one of those. It's like the the naturally
spawning pink sheet. You know, it's out there.
It's not seen it. Is it like an Easter egg, you
know, is it something rare? Current it, yeah, rarely come
across. We all know before I start going
into my fixes, for my men's, for armor stands, there was a big
push for me and you too. Vote chorus fruit.
And I'm going to put it out there.
If I had to vote, I was going to vote.
Try to those of you who wanted horse fruit.
I'm on the tried and bandwagon but these were all good, picks
this week. Hmm.
These were all things that need Improvement to be even better.
So let's go with the obvious fix for the armor stand.
See, armorstand book by stick. God, this is the one that's
being used on. Countless SPS and single-player
worlds, you can pose armor Stands and so many configurable
ways. Yeah, that's kind of obvious
thing. If you're not going to do that,
at least give Java the 13 possible poses.
Yeah. The arms kind of need to be
standard on an armor stand, so they can hold items.
I don't know why. Java doesn't get any of that
maybe. No please.
Yeah, I agree if we find an armor stand naturally generated.
Does that mean we can unlock the 13 boses?
Is that what this game is over? The other fixes would be
obviously color. The armor said based on the wood
type I've been using a lot of warped weird lately.
How cool would it be to have a blue armor stand or a crimson
armor stand? Well, I mentioned it crafted
with sticks. I know.
But how cool would it be to do the other way?
Yeah I hear you blue sticks. I knew it was sticks and I knew
sticks, only look one way, but yeah, and I needed to throw that
out there because that was really cool.
Cool. I need to throw out there that I
wrote down six-six. It's crashed.
It was 66. Instead of six sticks.
I've spilled 6 twice, and your defends.
You were occupied with random thoughts last night.
Yeah. That's for later, maybe.
Yeah. Maybe the other things.
So, this next part would be based on if we could actually
get poses and Java. But I would like each pose to
put off a different Redstone signal using A comparator.
Yeah, I think that could be really cool compact way to do
redstone signals and I think you can basically do the same thing
with a lectern and a book, though.
Based on what page it's on. You might not be that great but
I thought out there to me the coup de gras of my mending
Minecraft. So we have the deep dark and we
have the warden, right? These are two new scary Things
in Minecraft. My fact it was talked about on
Twitter kingi dogs was mentioning that maybe is a
little too scary. I don't think so but I want to
play on the fears of people also, and if you come across,
these naturally, spawning armor stands which I still haven't
seen. What if you went to pull the
armor off and the armor stand came alive and tried to attack
you and fight you. Yeah.
Could you imagine an army? Jenn coming off the base plate
and start swinging a sword at you.
Yeah, that would be cool. I would call this an enemy, the
puppet. Yeah.
Now would there be a way to activate it?
I know your ideas in beta, you know, my plan is not even an
alpha but I would assume it would be just interacting with
the armor stand. Like, trying to take a piece of
armor off of it, with turn it on.
I would make it where I don't think you could craft a puppet
so you couldn't just craft an armor stand.
Stand and take a named Peg to it and named the armor stand
puppet, to get it to come to life or maybe you could that
actually probably work out pretty well.
Yeah, I don't want it to be a tough.
It wasn't meant to be a hard enemy to defeat again.
It's made by a bunch of sticks. So it was just more of a
jump-scare type thing. I thought would be cool to the
game and this would be a really cool feature in the deep dark.
You know, if this could be a place where you put these armor
stands in these Loop places, would you go?
I can go in this door and be safe from the warden.
He can't fit in here you go in there and two or three
armorstands come to life and you're like, okay, it's safe in
here either that go definitely mix it up a little bit.
I would like to see something like that.
Armor stands would be a good one to implement and you're trying
to sneak around and be quiet. You've just snuck past the word
you're like yeah I'm good. And all of a sudden this armored
Saint comes to life and making this bone ragging sound though
because it's all out of wood. And now the warden hears, the
puppet. He's coming for you.
Now know, it's getting creepy. It's getting creepy.
I think it would have been so cool.
Yeah, I think it would be cool. Mmm.
Yeah, there's a good bit. You can do with the armor stand.
Yeah, bunch of mods out there where you can use them.
A lot differently Bedrock has a little bit more features for it.
Yes. With the poses always like that.
Hmm, they kind of got a little bit of vanilla with the armor
stand. I mean, taking it from vanilla
to, you know, modding it a little bit and give it to us in
vanilla with this. Yeah.
The poses and stuff. Yeah.
Be nice to get that in Java. Yeah, Bedrock definitely has the
upper hand when it comes to armorstands, that's for sure.
Yeah, they don't have the mods though and that's where that's
what we got. Now, there are some mods for
Bedrock, they're just not as many okay, but there are some
didn't realize but that's all I have for mending Minecraft.
The only problem is I don't think we're going to have
enough. Time to go through our topic
this week, so I'm wondering if we shouldn't save it for next
week, we could because it can fit next week too.
Yeah. Maybe we give one of each.
Yeah, let's do. So our topic for this week was
another random thought, but it was a random thought on 117 and
we came up with five of those. So yeah, let's just do one
random. Thought each on 117, I'll let
you go first. Okay, probably the better one I
have is if we're going to be Underground.
And so much because you know the underground update her cave
update we're going to need a decent food source down there.
I feel like and there's really no food source underground now
we don't know if like the fish are going to spawn down there
maybe in the Lush caves you know axolotls might spawn down there
you have squid mainly mobs which what you'll get a character
potato every once in a while, you know, you're not going to
there's no food source It's down there.
You're giving us all this, you know, all this area with no food
source, I guess it could give you more of a reason to come to
the surface once in a while. But I feel like there needs to
be something in case you're stuck or lost down there to you
know, have some kind of food. There is a food source down
there, what food the mushrooms glowberries?
Globe are? You can eat glowberries, what's
the? It's not very big like, yeah,
you get partial haunches. I think back from it.
The DIA, the saturation. That's it is not very big at
all. But in case of an emergency,
yeah, glowberries will get you out of it.
That is something I did. Kind of look past the
glowberries, maybe something else.
Maybe we can have another food source that is good though.
Didn't think about the glue, Barry?
There's no real meat in the caves is what you're getting at.
No, you're not going to fill up on berries.
Don't feels up on berries. All right, so, My random thought
has to go with. I've been seeing a lot of people
saying whenever you convert 2117 or update to 117, you have to
start a new world. Hmm.
Because of the new generation and this all comes from a
snapshot, a snapshot or two ago where they've said, you will be
unable to open Old Worlds in this snapshot.
As there is currently no upgrade path towards the new world
height. I think everyone took that as
from 117 means World, I do not think Mojang who would do that.
We're not force every player to start a new world to play on
their new update. I think what's going to happen
is they're going to figure out a way.
So old world height will expand over top of already pre-loaded
chunks at me and said, Bedrock will still be at y 0 and your
pre-loaded chunks because you've already loaded those chunks,
it's just whatever you go into a new chunk.
The whole underground is going to change.
Now obviously they're probably trying to come up a way to make
that a more smooth transition. Hmm.
Even if it's not, I don't see them forcing everyone to say,
hey ditch your world, start new if you want 117 because that's
just not the Mojang way. Hmm.
So people who are so worried that I'm gonna have to lose my
world of five years because of 117, I know, I don't think
that's going to be the case. It's just they haven't gotten to
how they want to implement it yet.
But I'm sure I'm 99.9%. Sure.
They will figure it out before 117 comes out.
In fact, it's probably one of the big things that they're
trying to figure out before. Yeah, that's one of the
questions I raised early was. Whoo.
We're not going to be able to upgrade the server because of
how big the world is going to change.
The lot of big changes. I have a base that goes all the
way to bedrock but in 117 it's not even close to bedrock.
Actually 64 blocks away from Bedrock now.
And my thought was you know, if we do upgrade this that Bedrock
is going to be gone and you know my base is going to be flooded
with Mobs underneath of it, out of nowhere, you know.
And that's something you don't want.
I'm sure they don't plan on doing that usually know how you
upgraded World. Anyway, now the unloaded chunks
will get upgraded. The I just thought that when you
upgrade those chunks, you haven't been to, then you go to
them. You Have that 64 block different
underground to where you could mine into the void.
You know just kind of fall out of the world and that might be
an issue but it's still up to you whether you want that issue
to upgrade it or not. Yeah but I think that would be
like the only thing to worry about is like mining into one
1617 and falling out of the world.
I think it's more going to be what you'll see is Is the chunk
borders of 116 and 117. Instead of mining in to avoid, I
think you're going to see a very deep vertical line of Bedrock.
That's going to be right there at that chunk line.
I think that's what's going to happen is whenever they figure
out how to overlap the previously generated chunks.
With the new, what I call World height rules as in you can now
go above 256. - why 64 whatever it was going to be that whatever
is below zero. Now, has this section of Bedrock
that you can't break through. Anyways.
Mmm. And it'll be just like on a
chunk border to keep you from mining to there, or they're not
going to do that and you're going to be able to mine into
the void and that's going to be Wicked fun.
Yeah, that's just as you were saying that I was thinking, man
you could build under there then, right?
You can build under that Bedrock.
How cool would it be to it electric?
I threw a cave into just void. Yeah it gives a little scary but
get a little scary. Yeah it's kind of got my nerves
going. All right that freaked me out.
I don't get along with the void. Yeah I think that's going to do
it for today's show but before Jimbo reads us out, I want to
