Everyone, welcome to the weathering effect episode 109.
Today's date is August 22nd 2021 and I am Duds or Duds versus
known to the rest of the interwebs and I'm Jimbo you may
know me as Jimbo slice 23. So we'll start off with what
you've done this week. Does Pranks.
I've noticed I've been in the pranking mood.
Yeah so I needed payback you a pranked me a while ago and I had
been biding my time until it was time for revenge and that was
this weekend. Well, really this week.
So I haven't got the sea yet. But I've saw the picture.
Yeah. Because I posted the thumbnail
in the weathering effect chat. Yeah.
We do we like to share thumbnails with each other.
Just for suggestions. Go.
And I saw a see my base there. Any storage room.
And I'm not going to spoil anything, but it makes sense.
I get it. I mean, speaking us, what that
in the episode will be out tomorrow for us, but it will be
Monday for everyone else. When everyone else here is just
the episode should have come out like two or three days ago.
Yeah, right. Okay.
Yes, it's not really spoil it. What it will be for you because
you don't know the extent of the prank because you haven't been
in your base yet. Yet?
Yes, you just know your base has been pranked.
I can tell you what we did to prepare as base.
Okay, so you got a base and in the middle of his Lake, says,
big tree here, just put a sign, any kind of outlined where he
was going to put the tree. And I was talking to Albany
because Omni obviously help me do the pranking, you'll see that
in the episode. Let's just do a really giant
ugly birch tree right here. And he's like, yeah, cool, let's
do that. And so, This trees like a
hundred blocks tall and I want to say it was 15 like 12 to 15
wide for the trunk and it used an entire show.
Core box of birch wood. And then we use like three or
four shoulder boxes, full of slime to use the leaves.
It's just as massive, ugly, ugly tree.
Is that what you use? Yeah, slime and Birch.
See, I didn't notice the perch. I have to check that out.
Again, the thumbnails really dark?
Yeah. Yeah.
You can't tell on this thumbnail?
Yeah, but I had mentioned that was like, oh, para and Jimbo's
prank looked pretty at least until now here.
I am with the ugliest tree ever made, it's like, yeah, well,
he's going to rip this down the second.
He sees it anyway, so yeah, I guess my the prank you did on
me, is it? Technically ugly now and it's
the second you get into starting to use your storage room.
You're going to rip it down to write yours is more of Prank of
you not being there for so long. That's exactly what it is.
Yeah, you left your base abandoned.
So mmm, we made it. Look abandoned right again.
None of these pranks were Hard. Clean up stuff, slime is going
to be super easy. You just punch it breaks perch
words. Going to take a little bit but
the slimes you a maid took me about two and a half hours to
get away. Anyways.
So yeah, that took a while, I'm probably not going to take that
long. Come on up.
Looking at the picture. Know if you take longer than 15
minutes, clean your prank up. You doing something wrong?
Yeah, I am going to make a scene out of it, that's for sure.
Yeah, I will say your prank only took me an omni about 20 minutes
to put together Paris prank took about 2 hours and recording
time. Mmm.
And I had to condense those two hours to like a minute and a
half time lapse. Yeah.
So yeah, that that one clip to A lot of work this whole episode
to episode 38 for me is probably one of my most edited videos and
I don't think anyone's going to be able to even tell that it's
highly edited edited because I took a lot of time trying to
make the edits smooth and precise and I'll take like a
five-minute clip of me talking. And I ended up chopping it in
multiple places to make it only like two minutes talking.
Mmm, I'm going to look for that. Yeah, see if I notice see.
If you can see it, you'll find a spot where it took just a little
bit jerky. You'll see my guy change
direction. Just to smallest amount.
Yeah, they can do to me in the editing that you've done.
Yeah, I do it occasionally, I can't get my words right but
other than that, I've been working on my streaming stuff.
I've been wanting to get back into streaming that was a little
bit more ref because I do all my overlays and stuff like that by
hand and it it doesn't come naturally.
Lie to me, it takes me a lot like, designing, a thumbnail for
a season. Takes me a good day or two to
put together so overlays do the same especially when I'm trying
to like have numbers moving on the screen and make it look
interesting without covering up. A lot of the fun stuff to look
at and throw in a Susie Cam, that uses an odd Dimension
because I'm using an old webcam. That's at an angle.
Yeah. It's going to take a little more
time than a thumbnail. Yeah, I've got new color schemes
and everything in place. Now, it's just getting the
couple design Works done and it's coming up with the new
stream time. Saturday mornings, got really
rough for me because I was doing a lot of housework, mmm.
And Saturday mornings are a good time to do.
All the housework and stuff like that.
Thinking about, maybe going back to Friday night, that's where I
would used to scream a lot. Okay, we'll see.
We'll find out. I've got, I've got a fly in my
office. Hang on, get it.
It's like the first fly this summer in my house.
What the I'd rather have flies and mice and snakes, I'll do.
I got those mice. Figured out.
My house is spotless. Nice, says the fly.
The one fly because I know what the fly came for.
It came from, I was grilling steak, and I was in and out of
the back door. Oh, all afternoon.
Yeah, that's where that came from.
But other than that, I played a lot of dungeons, but we're going
to save a lot of the dungeon talk for our post show.
So if you guys want to listen to that, I think it's a dollar a
month for the A show which is a pretty good deal.
Yeah, we're going to be talking dungeons here in the future.
Hmm. We have a Dungeons developer on
the show. Here's coming up soon and we
want to get in this. We want to get some dungeons in.
We want to experience this game to the fullest.
There's been so many DLCs the come out with it.
I haven't played any of the DLCs you've been playing a little bit
of it. I tried to download or tried to
buy it just now and I And for some reason, because of my card
is acting up some kind of error. Maybe's, operator are probably
but I'll figure it out and hopefully we can stream it.
Yeah, we were talking about that.
Maybe get a stream in, that'd be nice.
But yeah, what have you been up to this week Jimbo?
I like dominate that conversation for like s last 8
minutes you go ahead. Well, we were just covered your
week but I've still yet to record anything.
Yeah, well we just got finished up at work with our big job that
we were doing where I was working weekends and late days
and we finally finished it and now we're just cleaning, we
cleaned it up this week and this weekend would be ideally ideal
time for me to record. It was my 10-year anniversary.
Mmm, with my wife. So we went to Pittsburgh state
up there in a real nice hotel and then you know went out to
eat just had a good time. Out at Pittsburgh.
And that's pretty much where I spent my Friday and Saturday.
And here we are Sunday went this morning to a Bow Shoot and now
recording mmm. I got a lot of cleaning up to do
too because I have a, my fantasy football league starting up.
I have a party at the house with everyone involved in the league.
No man. Yeah, so I got to get ready for
that to a lot on my plate right now.
But I have an idea. I talk to you a little bit about
About the episode. I plan on coming out to where I
actually come back and there will be some Duds Jimbo
collabing. Yes.
We kind of have it figured out.
I do want to mess with the, you know, the story line a little
bit but I have things in place already already messed up like
seven minutes. I lost seven minutes of
recording time when my computer went down and I lost a bunch of
stuff so I have to start from scratch and it's just it's a
hassle but I have a pretty good idea.
Of what to do. And I'm going to really take my
time and edit, like you mentioned.
I'm going to try to on a bring back those different editing
techniques that I was doing, where I had how to, some of my
best episodes. And I want to try to bring that
back and use that a lot more. Yeah.
In this episode. So it's I want to make it
something like a mega episode. I might even mention this last
week, be honest. You did.
Yeah, so yeah a little bit longer than usual.
Ooh, but I want to cover everything that I missed.
You know, that people missed out on, they didn't miss out on much
because I really haven't been on.
But what you did miss out on, I would like to cover it and get a
lot of work done. That's the whole reason.
You got pranked, by the way, is because you were on at one
point. And then, what was you an omni I
hopped on said? Hi.
I'm Nate said hi. And you didn't say anything back
to me. I did.
Yeah, 10 minutes later you signed off.
I went Jimbo didn't acknowledge me and And then obvious like
okay, let's prank him. I didn't even realize what I
think is I said I think I said we should prank him.
Not means like yes he was all for some pranking Abdi did that
too? He said hi.
And I didn't even notice like when I get on the surfer, I
immediately say hi to people. And then when people jump on,
sometimes I don't notice that. They're jumping on.
It's down in the corner. I'm dazed the confused, you
know, in my mind. Pretty much just not paying
attention. You ignored me and the walrus.
You deserve to be pranked ya. I ignored him to maybe, not that
time, but either earlier, that day or another day, but I
noticed, he said, like, three things to me and Chad, and I
didn't say anything back. I'm like, oh man, albany's on
didn't realize it. No, but yeah, when I would jump
on it be like you know to plant things to plan out, what's going
on. Next, you know, maybe throw some
blocks down, get an The of what the next build is going to be or
how things are going to look. But besides that, I, you know, I
haven't been on and been playing much but playing on changing
that here soon. Yeah, before we move into the
news, I wanted to bring up something that my roommate came
across. So he was coming to me saying my
games crashing, I was like, okay, well, you're doing
something wrong because he's had more Minecraft issues and
glitches that I've ever seen out of any Minecraft player of all
time, and he plays job. Right right?
He's like this happened. When I tried to build this farm
and I was like no, that didn't happen.
That's physically impossible to game, can't do that.
So anyways, when you told me about this glitch, I made him
physically. Repeat the process and show me
what was going on and I was able to break it down into.
There is a real glitch and it's when you're trading with
villagers. So your villager is not at max
level yet. So he was trading glass with a
cartographer and A never that Qatar refer XP would not want to
say max out because it's not maxed out would become full and
ready to level up. You know how they get the little
purple swirl or over their head? Yeah whenever that happened, the
game would crash and I thought it was really weird and I was
like, okay, it doesn't happen until physically, those purple
swirl swirls popped over the head.
If you could jump out of the Villager you could jump back
into Ooh, the Villager to trade before those purple Swirls.
And you were fine, but if you saw the purple swirls done game
crashes and found out, it's an OptiFine thing.
If he would, if he got out of OptiFine, went into just the
regular mode or regular launcher, worked fine.
So, we went ahead and updated his OptiFine to the newest.
It's still a pre-release, but the newest OptiFine and the
glitch still happened. Ah, so Something with OptiFine
and villager trading. If anyone's having that issue
try taking off Define off. Now it's not happening if a
villager is already maxed out if you've already trade or traded
with them a ton, then it doesn't matter because his villagers
that are max. Level aren't a problem.
All of my villagers are max level and I couldn't replicate
it either but it seems to be whenever you trade with them
enough to level them up that it would crash.
Hmm. Yeah that's a pretty
inconvenient. Yeah.
At first I thought Thought it was like all the XP you get from
the voters because he had it, where did none of the XP could
get out? As like, you understand, there's
a ton of exit XP orbs Behind These villagers.
He's like nah, you break the chest and or the work table in
front of them. You just your
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo?
It's like, yeah, doesn't villagers.
Give you a lot of XP now, don't leave that sit in there.
Yeah, if you guys are having game crashes with trading with
villagers, and you're using OptiFine and get rid of OptiFine
to see if that fixes it for you. Yeah.
Or shout out to optic. And fix your class.
Yeah like I said, I couldn't replicate it online, but all my
villagers are max level. So and I wasn't going to get a
new Village or to breed just to test the glitch and then kill
me. Yeah, right.
Anyways, so we move on to the news because we had some news.
Yeah, a little bit. Literally, like, one day before
we put out last week's episode, here's experimental, snapshot
for mmm. Kind of have a feeling it's
going to happen again. By the time you guys here as
talk about for Our mental snapshot 5 will probably have
coming out probably but one of the things we mentioned last
week got changed. We talked about how we liked
desert temples being partially buried.
Mmm, they are. Yeah, they're back to being
buried there. Not a, they're not super buried,
and they're not level dependent. I don't think.
No, it doesn't sound like, it doesn't look like at least.
Yeah, other changes is Desert and jungle temples won't be
spawning on water anymore. Yeah, it does.
I doubt you see him on like Cliffs or Mountain type of.
Yeah. High elevation possibly but I
don't see him at a certain why level every time he said.
So it looks like correct snowy. Slopes are less dirty for real
this time. So more snow less dirt.
This is we should get prettier stuff.
I think stone is actually taking place of the dirt and all that,
I'm thinking about it, think that's what they had said.
Look the higher up the Morais you'll find also.
So you're not going to find any dirt up there.
Well, one of the things they had changed to was the what I called
the freeze line where you start to get snow accumulating on like
Treetops and buildings and everything.
They actually raise that up higher so you wouldn't have to
worry about snow as much landing on your builds or Tree Tops or
something like that because I remember that was an issue.
Ripple season to my base wasn't actually High in the air, but
the top of it always got snow on it.
So I was placing string around to keep Snow from getting in
trees and stuff. Yeah.
And sometimes actually most of the time snow can be more
annoying than rain. Yeah yeah.
Rain can be it, can mess up your view and stuff but it's not
going to leave a physical layer of water on the ground, right?
Like snow will, mmm, so that can be annoying.
I'm come, that's a good change. Yeah, no, I like a change.
Yeah in the warmer biomes like that surface freezing it's just
gone. They went ahead and got rid of
it. So like desert Badlands Savannah
I don't think it matters at what height anymore you like you
cannot get any snow or whatever in those areas period.
Good sounds about right. Sounds right.
Even the like this shattered? Savannah.
Well yeah, I don't know for sure.
They didn't go over that and this is experimental.
Yeah, whether or not it's working.
Correctly right now. I don't know.
And they're those shatter ones can get a high.
Why level at times? So yeah I mean they literally
just says removed surface freezing for hot biomes.
That's the note. But watching sliced lime fly
through the new snapshot. If you guys haven't seen his
video it's like three and a half.
Four minute long and it goes over everything in detail super
quick to and gives great shots of the mountain terrain and
everything like that. Yeah, it looks real nice.
Nice. And I really like, what they've
done with the generations of different Stones, like they
reduce the number of diorite and andesite and granite blobs on
the surface. It kind of gives it a more
clean. Look, they're actually, well,
there's actually more I think on the surface now but they're laid
out in a way where they're longer strips more so than
blobs. Yeah, they're not as blob blob.
Like, right. Makes it so they it looks way.
More natural. It doesn't look like I think the
phrase they use last time with someone was spray-painting an
area. Mmm.
Yeah, it doesn't have that look to it.
It's really nice. Mmm, they also included calcite
yes to expose layers in the at least a mountain area, right?
And see that was one of my talks that I love calcite, but it did
feel a little on the harder side to get not super hard because I
Obviously, you can find these geodes, pretty easily and 117,
but limited, but it is a limited thing.
So now that we're finding them and surface areas, I think
you're going to see Server setting up Quarry areas where
you can dig out the calcite and stuff.
Yeah, hopefully we can get traders that, you know.
Can ya trade you some calcite? At least would be nice.
Yeah, that's how I've used. Most of my Court's decision is
trading with villagers. I could see calcite becoming
very Popular. I mean it already is.
So it's a beautiful block. Be nice to find another way to
use it her to get more to me it's a cleaner diorite.
Yeah I always saw it as solid as like a smooth that I write, not
so much as a policy we have polished but like a smooth die,
right? Yeah, let's see.
Extreme Hills, they made the train less.
Uh, next ream. So yeah.
Yeah. Whenever that means, I guess,
More extreme would be the better way unless it it became less
extreme after a snapshot so they had to make it more extreme from
that. I don't know.
I think it has to do with you know, them raising the why level
probably like it would be extreme extreme if they were to
take it to that limit. Probably look crazy because I
love building an extreme Hills. And I can't tell you the amount
of times I've traveled 5,000 blocks for an extreme Hills
biome. Just to see that the tallest
hill was 20 blocks tall and it's like, that's not extreme that.
That's a Foothill. Yeah, hopefully we get bigger
than that. Yeah.
As someone who lives in the Foothills, that's a Foothill.
Hmm. Yes.
Up very big. Now, I mean and so many biome
tweaks, like swamps are now swamp here.
So these swamps were tweaked just a little bit.
Mainly to keep swamps from extending far out into the
ocean. So, they're kind of Stay closer
to the Shoreline and the water levels in the swamps will be
more shallow. So that'll be really nice down
to MMM. Yeah.
Usually seem connected to Rivers.
Hmm. Yeah.
And along along oceans. Yeah, so that's not, that's not
a thing in real life. There's not too many connected
to the ocean. They are but they don't extend
far out into the ocean. Okay.
That's what they mean. Yeah, ocean water.
Kind of takes over right? Pushes a swamp back.
Makes it more beachy yes, won't be plus I think I'm trying to
remember my time in Florida, like swamp water is mostly fresh
water. I think.
Yeah, it is. So you wouldn't have freshwater
swamp merging with a saltwater ocean, right?
Without some brackish water in between it's rare enough.
Anyways, you won't have that Hardline 50 blocks out into the
ocean where there's a swamp. Mmm.
Now, I wonder, are they going to change river water color because
Member that still like a bright blue when it run through a
swamp, is it? Yeah, at least.
That's the way I remember it. I haven't been in a swamp much
this season. I was right along a river in a
swamp, but I never owned a never really looked at it.
Now that you mentioned. Have to go take a look and see
if that's the case. Yeah, I'm not too sure.
I thought like, once the river flowed into the swamp area, it
was swampy water, but I could be wrong.
I think it does make sense, you know, Rivers colliding with
swamps, pretty sure. That's how That works real life,
they reworked microbiome collisions and all that kind of
stuff. So, no more, or I should say,
less microbiomes were a cure. They were working on that.
Last time, that worked on it again this time.
So there's that Badlands and deserts are larger and less
likely to show up as microbiomes splotches, terracotta bands.
Obviously, go higher now, because the raised, Is why level
and Woodland or wooded Badlands grass trees, start higher.
So making room for more blocks. Mmm.
Yeah, it's always annoying when you dig out terracotta and you
want the plain terracotta and there's just so many different
layers of colors that you're never going to use dig around
them. So hopefully they widen the
regular terracotta layers out. That's that's one of the reasons
I've always been a fan of hermit crabs like Any terracotta can be
dyed aspect makes a lot of sense for a server, especially server
like them who uses an absolute ton of blocks and stuff.
Yeah, I didn't know they did that.
Imagine if everyone needed terracotta and you had, you
could only die that one, kind of terracotta, they'd be out in no
time. Mmm.
Oh yeah, as much as it use second to last item is more
iron. Yeah, yeah.
It's exactly where iron spawns now or is.
Is going to spawn, but there's just the blob sizes are bigger.
And I believe you find that, you can find that in, was it
andesite? Strands visiting the site?
I haven't heard iron connected to anything.
I know copper is going to be granite in the granite in irons
and something I want to say it's a name the site because it's not
entire right? Oh, that reminds me.
I miss something copper. Blobs are now going to be in
dripstone caves. Also bigger copper blogs blobs.
Years. Yeah, words, so you can get
copper, pretty much everywhere. Now, I mean, you find a
dripstone cave, you're going to get a good bit of copper.
You can Farm it from the ground and, you know, because we have
our oars dropping as Roars. Now, we're getting a lot of each
or and you all you already got a bunch of iron now.
They're giving you more. So, yeah, I think they're kinda
offset that That iron farm and how easy it is to create right?
Yeah I was just going to say that it's going to be less iron
Farms. I bet not me.
I'm going to have an iron far yeah.
If you don't mind as much if you do - I bet one mining session
you're coming out with a good five stacks of iron.
That's if you do it all my Farms are based around the fact that I
just don't have the time to grind for blocks.
So if I can make a farm that keeps me from having to grind,
I'm doing Iron Farms are fun. Now, they are very good time but
I do mind a lot. So I might know, might go
without the iron farm will see the big update, like this is one
of the bigger changes that I am absolutely in love with this
update. And it's reduced the likelihood
of rivers being cut off and turning into steep Dry River,
Gorges. Instead, they're going to end up
cutting fjords through mountain range, or raise the train to.
Orm saddle, valleys between the Peaks.
It looks so good, trying to think of where this part was.
I can't think of that spot. It's hard for me.
I can just tell you, if you wanted an example of what it was
like before hand my season to base, you know, the back bridge
that went to where my tree shopping area was yeah, half of
the bridge covered a river and then it went into this dry
riverbed. I ended up having to cut out a
lot of it and fill it with water by hand to make it a complete
River. Okay.
So now we're not going to get that as much.
We're going to get actual Rivers.
Yeah. Going through Mountain areas.
Okay. Yeah.
They a lot of them cut off. Yes they do.
It's annoying when you're trying to boat around and you can't get
through because the river stops. Yes you go.
Another five blocks, put down your boat again.
Jump back in the river. Yeah, always seemed unnecessary.
Yep. It's a good fix.
It really is and it's a beautiful one.
Mmm. Yeah.
The video we watched they did have shaders.
He did have shaders on. Yes, made it look really nice,
but I really enjoying all the new changes in the experimental
updates. I still wanna see it for myself
though. Still have to get it.
You gotta play Minecraft first, you know to yeah.
Well actually you got to play Dungeons now so yeah.
Oh man, what am I gonna do? So much, you're already three
levels behind me your that your level 3 actually.
I'm level 4. No, but I've only played three
levels. I ended up going back and
playing the first or creeper Woods.
I think is what it's called like three times trying to find all
the loot or whatever till I realized that, they probably
block off parts of the map based on difficulty within.
I should just come back later. Yeah.
You probably right there. Yeah, but let's go into Listen,
your comments as we get to comments.
We're going to share with you guys.
Today, I have a comment from the first, ER, am I reading that
right? The first or that's the Discord
name? Yeah.
Dance. Do you think that Minecraft
music is missing in some areas especially in the most climatic
moments in the game like beating the ender dragon?
Or will new more complex music that fleshes out?
Missing areas will take away from the classic Nostalgia.
It's a tough one. Mmm.
Can see, we're after being the dragon, you would like some kind
of climatic movement or music. The problem is, is getting that
trigger that plays a music. Yeah.
Because Minecraft is such a huge sandbox that anything can be
done at basically any time. So to be able to cue music at
certain points, would get a little tough, right?
Yeah. I was just thinking music, while
fighting the Ender Dragon could give you more of a, I don't
know. Of a rush while fighting the
dragon. Then again, there are times
where you got to fight the dragon over and over and over to
open up and Gates and it could possibly get annoying.
Yep. And like you said, sometimes
you're not there to fight the dragon.
Yeah, sometimes you're there to go out into the end and if you
go and you start hearing that music, it doesn't really relate
to what you're doing. So, yeah, you're yeah.
There's like a trigger that needs to be pulled for certain
times when music needs to play. Right now.
They just have, you know, while you're playing it randomly
plays, if I'm not mistaken. I see.
I don't know, because as YouTubers, I turn the music all
the way off. Yes, I'm here because I have to
put my own music over that during the episode.
So, most of my background music in my episode is Minecraft
music, but because of editing and chopping and recording and
stuff, the music won't line up. So you have to put music over
top of What would already be game music?
Yeah, when you're making a video is nothing more annoying than
something completely cutting off.
Like, if you were playing the game, hmm.
You hear the music in the background and you cut one
thing. You're cutting a piece of that
music which is really noticeable, going to be
noticeable in a video. So yeah, maybe maybe that's part
of it too. Maybe they you know, include the
video makers or the creators when they think about putting
the music. The only thing I could think of,
as a way to change it, for the better would be.
If you watch decoys all I'd ever did series.
He has music specific for locations, mmm, and that's
really good, but decoy is really good at making music.
So the music fits the location like flawlessly, it all feels
natural, right? I would love something like
that. But again, as I'm recording and
making YouTube, I have to turn my music off.
Anyways. Yeah.
Wish I could make music like that would be nice.
All right. But next question is from
fragile rock. They ask, what to or object do
you think is useful but underutilized either?
Because you forgot or are not in the habit of using or crafting
for me? It's into pearls me personally.
It's potions. Yeah, potions done right?
Or extremely Opie but I don't think I have one brewing stand
in my base right now and it's And used its kind of a time and
a place. Yeah, we use potions.
Yeah. You gotta plan for potions for
me. I think it's Shields.
Yeah, Shields are another one. Yeah, I always forget that I
could use a shield to block, you know, any project out.
And I think I died from a skeleton with my first death
almost every season, to be honest.
Yeah, a shield definitely gets major uses early in the season
for me. But now that I basically carry
around the totem of undying the hump and not so much.
Yeah, honestly a shield is probably way more useful than a
totem but I have so many totems it wouldn't make sense for me
not to you and you kind of you don't need a shield run around
your base. If you ride spawn, proved any
everything you should be relatively safe and approaches
used to be a thing where I never use them.
Never realized that. I use them all the time.
Yeah, this base. I To season made it so much
easier to get around with ender pearls because of all the
different levels and building up high and low kind of get used to
them. Always have at least 16 on me,
unless I start using them, but they're easy to get are easy to
come by. Oh yeah.
But yeah, thank you for the comments.
The first stir and fragile rock. Those comments were firm our
Discord and our Discord is the only place you could submit
questions for upcoming guests. Here's lower for Mojang with
more information. Hello, everyone.
My name is Laura, and I'm a senior game designer in the
Minecraft dungeon Steam, and I'll soon be joining dots and
Tebow in one of their future episodes.
If you join the withering effect this cord, which you can do by
going to the link in the show notes, you can submit any
questions, you might have for me, get your questions, ready by
Friday, August the 27th and the best ones will be answered on
the show so I'm very ready to answer all of them.
See ya. Thanks for that, Laura.
We can't wait to have you on our future episode.
Remember to get your questions in about Minecraft dungeons in
our Discord. Speaking of the Discord is the
only place you can get involved in The Mending Minecraft vote
this week, we asked you to choose between one of three mobs
for us to discuss your choices, were butcher, dolphin, and
slime. And the winner of many Minecraft
this week is Slime. Yeah.
Slime. One with 35 votes actually put
your head 18 dolphin with 14, few things of on the Slime.
It's actually slimes pretty unique for Unique mob.
Yeah, slimes are bouncy. Cube-shaped Hostile Mobs.
That spawn deep underground in particular chunks or at night
and swamp biomes, there are specific locations in the
Overworld, where the Slime spawn called.
Lime chunks, where slime spawn below, y40, regardless of light
level. Also, in swamps at low light
levels between why levels 50 and 70 near its near the surface.
Yeah, and it doesn't have to be nighttime.
Just depends on the light level and I think didn't say here, but
when the moon is full, I think you get more spawns.
I'm not mistaken. I think I've heard that too, but
I'm not sure. Yeah, at least that's what I was
told. Didn't see that on Wiki, I don't
know, didn't really look for it. Slimes come in three different
sizes, large medium or small also measured the sizes from 1
to 3 3 being the largest wind slime larger than one dies, it
spawns two to four, new slimes equivalent to its size / to
rounding down a slime that has was named with the name.
Tag produces smaller slimes with the same name, when it dies, I
didn't know that. No kept the Name I knew that I
had no idea. If he slime size is 18 drops 022
slime balls. This can be increased by one per
level of looting for maximum of slime slime balls for a maximum
of five slime balls. There we go.
It's a tongue twister. Not really but that's all good.
Yeah. So mending the Slime was
actually more fun this week than the last couple weeks.
Last couple weeks, we seem to have been choosing mobs that
really had no way of being mended without creating
something new this week, we can they won't be like super
different in any way but I think we could have some fun with
slimes. Now, I want to start out by
saying slime chunks kind of suck.
Hmm, they're great for farming, don't get me wrong slime, Farms
are incredibly Opie and awesome because of slime chunks.
That being said, Said as someone who built a base underground and
had slime constantly spawning his base until he half slab.
Everything they kind of suck. Yeah, that being said, one of
the discussion Channel mentions, I forget who mentioned it,
talked about a slime cave instead of a chunk, which I
really enjoyed to me, that seems like a better fix, obviously,
we're not talking about fixing slime chunk talk about fixing
slime, but it was such a good idea.
I wanted to At least mention it, there's that.
But one of the fixes for the Slime is, I'd love to see
different colored slime, maybe based on the biome, they spawn
in the Slime can be colored coordinated to that area.
Yeah they don't have to act different, they can just be
slime but the ability to drop different colored slime balls or
just have different color slime in general.
Like I said all of it, can function exactly the same but
just the fact that you can catch different colors, A slime and
put them in a windowed box and watch them.
Bounce around. Seems really fun to me.
Yeah, another idea I had is slime.
Should have a fear like haugland and Penguins.
They're scared of the Warped, mushroom or whatever.
It's called fungi, maybe slime has and something like that.
It scared of maybe it's like sand.
Maybe maybe slime doesn't like sand or gravel or some gravity
falling block because of the next thing I have What if slime
could jump on an item? And it would suck the item up
kind of like how I've is zombie walks over a loose item.
It can pick it up and carry it, that'd be cool.
Yeah. So a slime would jump on a loose
item in it, which pick it up and you could see it like inside the
Slime. And then whenever you would kill
the Slime it would end up dropping the item.
Yeah, wouldn't despawn either with the item in it?
Correct. So if I sign where to jump over
sand and gravel would be like, oh now I'm covered in sand.
And yeah, it's stupid. And these weren't going to make
the slime super different or super cool, but they were just
like fun little things. I would love to see happen to
slime. You make it even more Derpy.
Exactly. As it is already, the Slime is
one of my favorite looking mobs in the game.
Hmm. And it's nothing, it's not a
special looking mob, but it's such a great creative Derpy
looking mob. Yet that face.
It's like this. Writer.
Everyone is like the Striders ugly but it's so ugly.
It's cute. And that's the way slime are to
me. Yeah, you're right.
Well, I know. I'm right.
They didn't look like a hostile mob.
No, they don't. They look like, you know,
something you could cuddle with. Hmm.
But yeah, they're not that nice. Now, they're not like the big
ones are act. They hit pretty hard.
You're not careful. Yeah.
I've been killed by slime. Yeah, I'm looking for the Slime
caves real quick. It was a chimpanzee.
Ain't there we go. Age of paint?
Yes, mention some kind of new cave by.
Mm, yeah, there we go. Yeah.
It's on bad suggestion. No, yeah, I was looking for soon
as you mentioned it and you didn't know the name as like a
better find out who that is is that kind of like it.
I was going to be like Jimbo. Go find it but I didn't want to
sound. Like I was being bossy, anything
cause I'm on it. I was on it.
Awesome. But that's all I have for slime
unless you have something Jimbo her, I was going to suggest
different color slime bag. Lee.
Oh, there we go. You guys see you had it on your
notes then being by him specific would be a great way to make
them different colors. I was thinking they could spawn
different colors of possibly the slime blocks, even though it's
not technically the Slime but make those, you know, diable,
but it's not technically the mob.
Yeah, I mean, how could it be again, doesn't change the
functionality of a slime block at all.
You just can't change it to whatever.
What color you want? Hmm.
Granted that adds like 16 new blocks to the game right.
You got to watch out for that but yeah, that should we move on
to our main topic. Sure.
Our main topics coming from king bee dogs.
Twitter. That seems to be where we get a
lot of our topics lately but he had put out a tweet asking if
you could choose. Would you prefer to flesh out
the deep dark as a biome or the warden as a mob, which one was
more important to us, and We go any deeper than this then you
got to play on words. They deeper than the deep dark.
Yeah, I'm using my words perfectly this time.
We don't know enough about either one of them to really
give a good solid answer, I'll put out there.
Yeah, everything can change with the more information we know as
of right now, I think we know more about the warden than we
do. The deep dark, right?
I'm a huge fan of the warden. I want to see the Warden, I want
to fight the warden. You know, I want to interact
with it. I want to know what it does,
what its mechanics, or to sit respawn.
It's just it's Unique, you know, it doesn't see.
It could only hear from the vibrations.
I want to see it so bad, but as saying that I would rather have
the biome just because of all the new blocks, the new look, I
want to feel the deep dark, you know, not just see it, but feel
The way it's made. Then again it wouldn't be as
dangerous without the warden. Yeah, I'm going to go out there
before I say my answer that other than the skulk blocks.
I don't think the deep dark sea going to bring any new blocks
that we have seen. Haven't seen it yet.
So I don't think we're going to get much newer other than skulk
blight being said, I would also choose biome just because to me
once you've faced a mob 510 times, the fight becomes super
routine when it comes to Minecraft.
Yeah. The only time it doesn't become
routine is when you get swarmed by hordes of mobs and it doesn't
look like you're going to fight a horde of warden.
Yeah, we're that first fight that first interaction.
Yeah. But once you get past that it's
the same. So unless you're going to be
farming Warden, which as of right now, they're not dropping
anything. So it's really not worth it to
kill. The warden is well worth it to
Sneak around, but we don't know where were sneaking around.
For obviously, if I'm going to go sneaking around the deep
dark, with this big giant guy, who can smash my face into many
pieces, the got to be some good loot there and honestly other
than in cities, a lot of these areas for loot are not worth the
hassle. Yeah, but the deep dark has a
chance to be a more fleshed-out area and even how I put this
every area or every Temple every biome and stuff, it all changes
with World Generation, so they're never identical.
The structure itself might be identical, but some of it might
be buried. So might not be buried part of,
it could be floating and if this is an actual biome instead of a
structure, it's going to be even more tweaked based on
generation. Did it.
So that means, every time you go into the deep dark, it's
different, which to me is way more interesting than fighting
the same mob for the Time. Hmm.
I would like to see larger deep dark areas like yeah.
Like your you are going to run into one at y5 or what is it -
60 or however, logos the lowest till you get to the Bedrock
area. Well, that's just that we don't
know for sure. We don't know enough about the
deep dark. We only see the little piece of
the deep. Dark is like one little corner.
Actually a little looting area. Everything right now is an
experimental. Snapshots anything can change.
Everything could change? Yeah, as of right now, in the
ground, we have our mine shafts. You might run into a, what is
it? Where the end is?
Oh my God, I can't believe I forgot stronghold.
I keep forgetting the name of it to the stronghold.
There's not, there's not much to explore.
B'sides caves, unless you run into something like that, the
Deep. It'd be nice for the deep dark
to be an extension of something to explore.
You know, that has branches of it and I don't know.
Like I said, I would like to see it bigger.
Yeah. If possible don't make it one
hallway is what you're saying? Yeah.
I don't want like a strip of a biome down there.
I don't think it is. I think it's going to be things.
Going to be like a maze. You're going to have to try to
find. Find your way around.
That's yeah, that's the way I would like it to be.
Hmm. Now, having said that it'd be
nice like the warden. If he could attack you think it
would be this way if it would attack any mob that you know,
made vibrations. It looked like it didn't attack
the spiders, I'm not mistaken. I think it was spiders that were
crawling around. It didn't really get aggro over,
but it would be nice to use for farming capabilities and
mechanics. If the warden would attack other
mobs that made vibrations, it could be way more useful in that
way. I think they're going to yeah, I
don't see. Why wouldn't ya?
The vibration has to be over a certain level I think because
they remember there are playing with skulk sensor vibration
levels or whatever they're going to.
They use a different word than vibrations but I think that's
what's going to happen because I was like well the way I would
attack a wardens go in there with a bunch of chicken eggs,
start chucking them around wherever I don't want.
To be. Yeah, that's how I get around
the warden. Yeah, they mentioned snowballs
anything. Yeah.
Anything that could make a vibration.
But I think we're on the same page where we'd rather have a
biome that a mob. Hmm.
Now, I don't think it would be the same without the warden.
No, it wouldn't be as dangerous. Now, I'm not saying get rid of
the warden at all. Yeah, I'm just saying if you
were going to put, if you said, all right I only have Let's use
a stupid number. Let's use five hours.
I have five hours to work on this biome and the warden.
I'm going to put two hours into this and three hours into that,
which one gets the three. I would hope it's the biome.
Yeah, that's the way I was. I was going to me, biomes
change, everything. They're not going to be the
exact same finding hiding spots from wardens based on terrain
generation is going to be big. Yeah, and what we know of right
now, you know, these deep dark areas There are little cave
openings with your loot chest. We don't know what's in the
chest. We know.
There are no candles scattered about.
So it is there is some kind of life down there or used to be.
I don't see the warden going around placing candles.
Maybe there's some lore of the candles but it is like a dim lit
place kind of hoping they implement the zero light level
spawns. You know, it has to be 0.
So 27 I have a feeling Going to see mob spawning underneath a
certain level cut off, because remember, they're changing how
moms are spawning right now? Mmm, making a mob far closer to
zero doesn't help increase rates anymore, right?
So you can put them off arm anywhere.
And I have a feeling they're doing that because like, all
right under why - 25 nothing. Sponsor.
Unless it's a warden that was just going to mention that you
imagine going into the deep dark there being a warden.
Also 20 other mobs because it's so dark.
The warden would be be occupied. Yeah, it just get distracted so
I don't think they're going to want that.
I think they're going to want just you versus the wardens your
job to outsmart it yay could be right there or maybe you know
the candles are little more abundant maybe they do try to
light it up a little bit more have less spawns or maybe just
make it very rare at the bottom that they spawn.
No, that's still up in the air. We just don't know yet.
Yeah, we just don't have enough information.
It's a great opinion. Tweet to put out there.
I want to say the last time I checked on it, 85% of people
agreed with me and you and it was do the biome over the
warden. Yeah.
How many of those people were choosing that?
Because we know such little about the deep dark.
I don't know, but as someone who plays the game for hours, upon
hours, upon hours years, on years on years, The mobs get
super tiring and super repetitive relatively quickly
once I have full gear, unless it's a giant horde or I do
something incredibly stupid. I'm not dying to a mob.
Yeah. Now, obviously don't even wrong
the wardens, a completely different beast and can
basically knock you out in one hit.
But once you figure out how to beat a warden, I'm sure you just
going to keep doing that. Same way to beat it over and
over again, like the reason we cheese Withers and All that
stuff nowadays. It's like, yeah, you do one
where their fight naturally, and then after that, forget that
women put his head in Bedrock and we're going to get the
nether star so we can move on. Yeah.
Or Enderman or in termina pretty easy to take care of.
Yep. I died to Enderman so many times
in my storage room before. I realize I could just stand in
the lake in the middle of my storage room and hit their
ankles and call it done. Mmm.
See unless I'm incredibly stupid, the mob won't kill me.
You know. I was I was just thinking You
know, well maybe they give Warden a weakness like that
here, the guy can't see. So that's probably the weakness
blind. I mean, maybe the weakness is,
it doesn't like Bright Lights. Yeah, so what if you start
lighting things up, where rabbits rabbits it does have a
thing for rabbits, maybe it really hates bees.
That'd be funny. Oh, so you're basically saying
the wardens a giant Jimbo. Yeah.
It's like a giant. It's a jumbo jumbo.
It can't see. That's just like the normal
Jimbo right. I'm partially blind so, but I
don't get around on vibration. I just pictured.
You going into the deep dark facing a warden face-to-face,
and you both go brother jimbob. Give him a big hug here.
He took care of the bees. I'm sure he would give you a big
hug to and squish you against the ceiling.
I hope it attacks bees. I can use it.
You in the hatred for B's man I'm going to fight.
There's got to be a mob. It's going to take care of the
bees for me. So I don't have to eventually
it's called water. That's not a mob do but it'll
take care of the bees for you. I need a companion.
Oh man. Okay.
Before this goes any further, I think that's gonna do it for
