Hey everyone. Welcome to the withering effect
episode 106. Today's date is August 1st in.
This is not the second time. I've tried to read the script, I
am does or does versus known to the rest of the interwebs.
I'm Jimbo, you may know me as Jimbo slice 23.
So what have you been up to this week Duds?
Not sleeping sides, lack of sleep.
Yeah, I was telling you before the show, I've got 12 hours.
Hours of sleep in three days. So it's been a little rough, it
kind of started. So we had that rat problem last
summer. Remember.
Hmm. And then, we ended up getting
that solved won't because our house is literally in the woods.
We get a lot of little creatures and stuff that come and it's
usually not that big of a deal. I don't mind it.
I love going out into my backyard and seeing deer and
rabbits and stuff in the backyard, but rats and snakes
are two things. I do not like, And it just so
happened. Walked in the kitchen the other
day and there was a snake in my house who probably?
Yeah, the rats. Yeah, I went all Samuel Jackson
yelling obscenities, about getting snakes out of my
obscenity house. And yeah, so that that kept me
up at night because it's like, how did a snake get in here?
Yeah, good luck. Finding where it came from,
dude, I'm telling you, it freaks me.
I hate Eight snakes. And but yeah, ended up getting
it out of the house and everything like that.
That was my big thing week that kind of drove me crazy.
But it just so happened to coincide with me not sleeping.
I ended up having a creative block before I wasn't sleeping.
So I'm trying to work on an episode and literally this is
going to be a spoiler because there's no way my episodes going
to get out before this comes up. But I was trying to build a
lighthouse and Don't want it to just be a generic looking
Lighthouse. I wanted to be party or even a
little bit fantasy and I just couldn't ever get the block
palette, correct. I'm not trying to use the same
blocks have used everywhere because it needs to stand out
just a little bit. At the same time, I'm just like
well this doesn't look right and that looks like the exact same
thing. I build over there and just
absolute creative block happening.
So I was like, you know what, I'm going to step back for two
days and Just let things kind of work it out because usually the
what happens with me with create a block, just step back for a
couple days. Mmm, come back to it.
You'll be fine. Yep.
And then, the whole non sleep thing happened.
I was just like this, this this rough in a slump.
Yeah, you're still. Um yeah, you can hear in my
voice that it's not fully there. The not sleeping has a little
bit to do with it, but the big thing was, I went to Carowinds
which for Carolinians is z big. Amusement, Like Six Flags or
whatever in the region. Okay.
And basically, so spent the entire day yelling at the top of
my lungs, to try to talk to the guy next to me.
Oh, I'm not a roller coaster screamer.
When I ride the roller coaster that I don't scream the entire
time, but the park so small, the roller coasters are literally on
top of you. So, you're trying to talk to the
guy while you're waiting in line next to you.
You kind of got to yell. Yeah.
So my voice yesterday was just towed, first plus the music at
the theme park. Yeah, and it was 100 degrees
yesterday. And then the big downfall about
Carowinds is it's not impressively themed and it's
essentially a giant parking lot with roller coasters.
There's a few shaded spots, but there are not many basically.
I was drowning in Sweat by like noon.
You think there'd be some wind being called Carowinds, you
would think, but the only wind I got was standing underneath the
coasters. It's something.
Yeah but so had a pretty busy day yesterday and then between
creative blocks and stuff. I haven't done a lot of
Minecraft and that's kind of going to be the theme of this
week's. Episode is not a lot of craft
because there really isn't a ton of Minecraft stuff happening
lately, right? But before we get into that,
let's talk some more about non Minecraft stuff.
How was your week? Go jumbo Laden on Minecraft like
absolutely. No Minecraft because I had no
PC. Yeah.
My PC I mentioned last week, how my hard drive and having trouble
getting my data off my hard drive.
So I was talking to you and a couple people from the Discord
about what to do and I noticed one of the problems was my hard
drive, wasn't spinning. So there was no power getting to
it. So while it was running, I'm
pulling plugs and put them in different plugs.
Just trying to find a better power source for this thing to,
to get moving. I'm thinking, is it my power
supply? Is it the hard drive?
Maybe it's my motherboard. I don't know, we'll eventually
the computer. Just doesn't turn on stops
turning on cheese. And I start freaking out, I'm
like, oh my God, I'm I'm tired of dealing with it.
Tired of dealing with this. I need this stuff on my hard
drive, a bunch of my stuff for my editing is on there.
If you my sound effects, my music, my thumbnail, and you
were like halfway through a video where you the, I was
probably eight minutes in maybe six.
Sex with editing and stuff not horribly far into an episode but
that's still a good amount of work.
Yeah. There's some parts that I really
needed that I'm going to have to cut out and try to explain in my
episode and it's not going to be fun doing that.
I had it right where I wanted it.
But you know, have to redo all that.
Anyways, I take it to the shop. I let them know.
I tell them what's going on, it's not turning on, and if they
can for it, you know, if they can get my hard drive to work,
please. I need that that data, and They
take it, they looking at, they're trying to diagnose what
the problem is. The guy there earlier was like
it's probably your motherboard. You know?
They did all the testing. Everything seems to be
recognized, it's probably the motherboard that's not doing it.
The last thing, the check was my CPU.
Well, the head guy comes in and takes on the project because
it's really fishy because he tears it down, puts it all back
together. They even mention, I should
probably drop off another. If I had one so they can put it
in and get my computer back together and I had to be 450
laying around. So I took it in and they didn't
even need it, he took everything apart, put it back together and
everything started running again.
Yeah, he that's how they fix it. Originally.
Now, another main problem I had was trying to get my operating
system for my SSD on to my brand-new m dot 2, Samsung card
or what is m dot 2. Yeah, I couldn't do.
It wouldn't let me, my great and you had the same issue at one
point I had the exact same issue.
I didn't fight it though. I was like my ssc's, good
enough. I'll leave it on there, right?
That's what I said. But I said if they could, you
know, go ahead and do that. And they could they said there's
something wrong with your m dot 2.
We can't migrate your operating system.
I was like what is going on here?
Like how many issues did this computer really have?
They did find some like malware in there that they were able to
extract and they gave me Me a virus or a, give me a virus to
give me the antivirus software, but they were able to, they did
have an MDOT to on sale there. They, I was able to get that and
they pop or put my operating system over onto that my
computer is running super fast. Now, I got everything in there.
That's good to go, but they could not, they couldn't get the
data off my hard drive my HDD and that's the brill bummer.
So the guy calls me, he's like, there's something wrong with
your HDD, it's not getting power.
We tried to put power to it, different sources, different
computers, mmm. It's not working.
He goes, I'm sorry. But the only way would you
wouldn't be able to get your data is if we sent it to this
place and they can recover it for you and he said that be
around 500 bucks. Yeah, that was like, well, looks
like looks like I'm not going to have any day to day.
That's fine. I'm not paying 500 bucks.
I'll Start over. You know.
It's going to be rough but I can do it.
Yeah. It's worth $500.
Just me. Yeah, did start over but he was
like, he goes there. He is.
One more thing I can do I was like, okay, he goes, I have the
same hard drive here because I can take another part from that
hard drive and put it onto yours.
He goes, but it's a real delicate procedure.
I can't get any dust on it. I can't get any oil from my
fingers. It cannot be touched whatsoever.
Nothing, can touch this thing. And if I can do it, right, I Get
your data back. That was like, oh my God because
but I need your permission because if it doesn't work, it
could damage it and you could lose it forever.
My first thought was, hey, it's gone.
It's gone already. You know?
Yeah, go ahead. So I gave him the go-ahead and
he called me back later on and told me it still wasn't working.
Yeah, he ended up just licking it when you left.
Yeah I dropped it, don't work. Yeah.
No but yeah I got the computer back.
I did lose all that stuff, but the computers running great.
I can actually start recording again, but just like you, I've
had creators block beforehand and yeah, that's not much
Minecraft to talk. They're also had to take my car
to the shop and get it fixed. So, I've been pretty busy Jay's.
This week, you had issues with the car.
My caliper broke, oh brake fluid everywhere.
Yeah. So I was able to get it there.
And that was pretty expensive fix, because only was my caliper
broke apparently. My brake pads, been gone for a
long time. And my rotor was like in half.
He said, he's like, it's probably one of the worst I've
ever seen and I could feel it. There is no grinding.
I couldn't understand. So yeah, it was pretty expensive
week. Fixing the computer and the car,
I'm sure feel better now everything's taken care of.
Yeah, I'm hoping this week's gets better for myself also.
So it's it's just one of those weeks.
Everyone has one every, once in a while where real life kind of
just weighs you down, and it just so happened.
Both me and you had a real rough week, right?
Yeah. It wasn't very good.
Yeah, I was hoping for some good news, you know.
Hmm. Well, I mean good news is you
got your PC back now, right? Yeah.
I was starting to get worried because you didn't get your PC
back to what? Friday, Saturday, savs
yesterday. Yeah, I was starting to get
worried. We might have had to delay the
show. Hmm.
That's one thing I mentioned to the guys like I need to have it
by this weekend if you can get it there.
Yeah yeah me. I have a friend of mine that we
host the podcast and we do it every Sunday.
So they at least at the latest Sunday morning, I would like to
have it. But yeah, they were able to
deliver even though some things didn't work.
It's I still got it. Yeah, well it's happened to some
news even though there really wasn't a lot of nudes either,
but I believe it's called echoing.
Boyd has come out for Dungeons and it's basically the end
update for dungeons. It looks really cool.
They brought interlinks to Minecraft dungeon, so I think
that's what they're calling them.
I know that was mentioned as a option or a name change, last
week. Yeah.
Those of you who suggested that, there you go.
You got some engine Ling's in there.
The new mobs. And dungeons look really cool.
And again, dungeons is a game. Me and Jimbo plan to play when
we have Time. Mmm, it's kind of rough for both
of us. Yeah, I didn't see the name and
rulings. I'm looking at a picture.
They are a little different. There are some different kind of
Enderman mmm, going on there. Like one of them has broken
knees and is like crawling around like that.
Another one has a giant mouth like what six eyes is on another
one. It looks really good.
Yeah. And you know, I mentioned last
week. How where are these pearls
coming from looks Like cup of them have ender eyes on their
chest. Yeah, that gives her the
underlings but mistaken. Hmm.
There we go. There's a lot of lore in
Minecraft. Dungeons, there really is like
it. We have a topic relating to that
that we're going to cover at some point.
So that'll be fun especially now that we know Mojang's on
vacation. So news and tweets and stuff are
coming kind of slow and that's fine.
Everyone deserves a vacation but it makes it a little rough on us
to come up Topics. So might throw some dungeon
topics in there. If you guys have ideas for some
topics, I was talking to Carl earlier today about trying to
get another guest in, to fill the void, basically of news and
stuff that we might try to work something out.
Like that, that it, that is kind of last minute, though.
I'm Carl. So he's probably listening to
his gun. Doc cheese, probably calling his
neighbor's. Do you want to be on the show?
We got a slot. You even played Minecraft, you
do. Play Minecraft.
It doesn't get on the show. Perfect, you're in.
Yeah, yeah, it is a lot better with guests on here.
At least getting to know a different perspective.
We have had our opinions out there many times over.
Yeah, it's hard to find a topic that we haven't talked about
already. So if someone else comes on at
least they could put their input in.
Yeah, and that's one of my worst fears is for us to get caught
talking about the same thing over and over again.
Mmm, A New Perspective would Nice other than Dungeons.
The only kind of news I have and it really made me go.
Yay. This morning was replay mods
out. Yes that's right.
It is 1:17 one so that got me super excited.
I thought it was going to be 117.
Then you gotta wait for 117 one but no it's 117 one.
I downloaded it this morning, tested it out.
Everything is working for me. So at least, once I get out of
my creative block, I'll be able to do proper time lapses again.
Because, man, using a camera count that was all the rage when
I first started YouTube, but it's so much work compared to
replay mod. Yeah, I'm pretty grateful for
the replay mod and I've actually been on like a four-week Hiatus,
this Saturday, like almost a month.
Yeah, about a month, man. So I kind of skipped the whole
replay mod, not having it, you know, so I'm pretty lucky there.
I did sign up for the patron. Replay mod.
I was able to use it a little bit and yeah, it is a little
different that you don't get all the features.
Well, I can tell you because one of the things that kept me from
wanting to do that was there was no start and stop.
Yep. The whole time, it recorded.
Yeah. And that's one thing that kind
of irritated me. I didn't have to log out and log
back in to start a replay or have my replay constantly
saving. But the one that came out today,
you can start stop, do everything else.
Yeah, it's going to ask the buttons.
A little different on the main menu.
It's just a smaller button now. That's all.
That's on the side. Yeah, so let's good news.
But, yeah, Gigi's to the guys that replay mod.
It's probably my favorite Minecraft mod.
If anything, you don't appreciate stuff like that till
it's gone and you have to go back to the old ways.
Yes. But has to be my favorite model.
So yeah, especially like I said, if you make content, hmm, I'm
thinking back. So the That's how I built inside
the storage room to house. The nether portal that took
about 45 minutes for me to do the way I did it with the
replay. But with replay mod, I would
have probably finished that in 1215 minutes.
Yeah, so easily. The stop move a camera.
Make sure I'm building in the camera angle and that's not how
I build. So it was a little rough, but
we'll talk about that some more in the post show.
Yeah. There is one thing I want to
mention about the replay mod. Maude, I started figuring
something out. That made my replay mod footage.
A lot better is instead of I pick a time in the replay and I
put my camera through that time, you know, paying it in that time
and then I scrapped that and keep that same time, but put my
camera somewhere else. So I have three different views
of the same time and what I do with the music, as I jump back
and forth from those different times or those Use just so I'm
not losing any footage. I'm just jumping back and forth
and it actually turns out really cool.
I do suggest to do that takes a little bit more effort but turns
out really nice. Yeah, your time-lapse it's have
always been more creative than mine.
Mine, just trying to get my guy in camera frame.
Well, I'm tilting because I jump around builds.
I don't never stay in one spot and build.
Mmm, you do. Yeah.
You can see it when I do time lapses.
I'm not. Okay, I'm going to build this
wall now and then I'm going to Build That Wall.
It's no, I'm building part of this wall part of that.
Well, we're going to sew a bit of a roof on here.
Okay, go back to that. First part.
Let me do cool under this roof. It's pretty good.
Yeah. But how should we go ahead and
go to listen or comments? Yeah.
This runs from kitty cat to and they ask.
How would you try to fix emotes right now?
They're basically not used so they're not used.
So is there anything? You think would help them be
used more often Now, it was mentioned in there.
After I had already put this at people were like, well, that's
only for Bedrock me and Jimbo might not be able to talk about
it, and that's true. It's Bedrock only mean Jimbo
have no clue how emotes work, how difficult they are to use
actively in game. I can tell you, I've wanted it
emotes in Java for a while. Now, it's a really cool feature
for Bedrock that I would love to have in Java that being said the
f button Shuffle and the torquing To say, hi is always a
good one. That's our emotes.
Yeah, being able to physically wave is something cool.
Jumping means I'm over here. Yeah, crouching means, high for
the I'm over here, I always just Spam Rockets now.
That's. Yeah.
It's like a miniature flare. You have Rockets.
That's a good way. Hmm.
Yeah, those are Java emotes. I don't know how they are on
Bedrock or how easy they are to use.
I would say, I would like to be able if there was in Java to be
able to preset a key. Like maybe my cakey does a
kicking motion or something like that or maybe the H key does the
wave or something. That's how I wouldn't want to
make it. Allow me to put a hot key in
place of some, I think it uses like a scroll wheel right now in
Bedrock, like, you have to press and hold the button and then you
can move the cursor to which emote you want to use.
And I'm kind of used to that because if anyone ever played
like Battlefield 4 and stuff that was how the think they
called it, the command Rose or something like that.
That's how that worked. So I was pretty quick at that
hotkeys, what we need? I think you're really onto
something there. Like, how you mention this?
Letter can do a wave. This one can do a kick.
What if you can create your own emotes, just like a skin and you
can make them move. However, it becomes Be like a
minor Mater type of deal. Yeah, it might be a little
difficult to use, but Java has that capability, like there's so
many buttons, you know, like I want a controller, you'd run out
of a button to use the emote you speak for yourself.
Yeah. Well, except for your massive
controller / keyboards last Mouse.
Yeah, I could see that being a thing.
Yeah. I don't know how hard it would
be to do that. Probably pretty difficult, but
Yeah. Customizable emotes, I would
like to see that. Can we have that at Mojang?
If you're listening emotes and Java would be so cool.
Even if it was just super simple ones, one that I've always
wanted is z sitting emote. Oh yeah.
Allow my guy to hit the sitting button because then you can you
don't really need to worry about building real Furniture in the
game. Hmm.
Because if you say, hey this is a cherry.
You just hit the city moat and you can physically sit on it,
then it it's a chair. Yeah.
I think there's mods for but I think that contains like a
chair. Yeah for that kind of mod.
You need like the couch or a chair or stool in the game to be
able to sit. Yeah that'd be a good one.
Now this comes like we mentioned it was mentioned in the Discord
about skins also customizing skins and how Java it's real
easy to customize your Skin's. You could still get your skins
on Bedrock also. So maybe you could customize
your emoji Out and just upload it to the windows Edition.
I think it is, is how you get it.
Well, and think about all the, I don't even know what the store
is called on Bedrock anymore, but the Creator's who do like
skins and stuff and sell them on the Creator.
Imagine doing emotes that way. So yeah.
Yeah, that'd be good. Mmm, I could see that being a
thing. I was real surprised the day you
called. Emotes.
You like a think, emotes are coming.
I was like, I don't know. That's kind of Fort 90.
Hmm. That, that was my first thought
and there was, it was like a week later, it wasn't very long
after their came emotes. I was like, wow, I think that
was the first thing I called relatively accurately, and it's
not even Java, like it was for sure and hold another Edition.
Yeah, I forgot what brought that to my mind.
But I saw something in the way the mechanics was working.
As I got Yeti motor coming, sure enough they were there.
Yeah, I I want emotes, I don't know if there's going to be many
more Java players that are interested in emotes, but I am
think they're cool. Yeah, I think once, if it comes
it'll be a big hit and people will want different ones.
Hmm. So let's face it 2021.
We're not all going to have the same emote.
No good. Mix it up.
Yeah, we have another lesser comment, but I seem to think we
answered this before. Now we've got some live
listeners in the show today. So we'll let them.
Let us know if we've answered this question before.
Yeah I'll let Jimbo go ahead and read it out.
Yeah. I wrote this down because I
didn't remember answering this but I do remember us answering
it at a time. Mangos ask?
What bioman Minecraft is. Your most favorite and what
biome is your least favorite figured this would be a quick
one. We could answer.
Would you like to go? Yeah, I'll go because might have
changed over time. Okay.
Mountain Anna used to be my absolute favorite.
I'd loved it, mainly because it was very odd terrain and it
never rained. So, doing YouTube, I never had
to worry about if it did rain, while recording, so that was a
huge thing lately. I'm tired.
I'm a tiger guy. Yeah, spruce trees and stuff.
And when tiger won the biome update, I was, I was angry.
I was like, I know Tyga's already used by own.
Let's not update. It's already good.
Let's Wait, you didn't talk about it last.
We didn't talk about it last week.
Perfect. We're going to keep going.
Um, I wanted Savannah to win that one, but Tyga, if you came
to me today and say, hey, without thinking about it, you
need to do a starter base, pick a biome, you're going to live in
and then figure out some kind of build don't pre build the thing
in your head, Tyga's. The easiest one for me, I can go
into a Taiga and I can throw together and build relatively
quick. I think would look good one
second. The Listener pet said, you know,
wait, didn't you talk about this last?
Didn't know. I read it wrong.
You said wait, you didn't talk about that.
You mix those two up. I'm tired, man, but I agree.
I, my favorite is the Mega Taiga.
Mega Taiga is pretty cool. Yeah, I love the podzol look
with the huge trees around it and you have the mossy Cobble.
Yeah, that's my favorite. And least favorite is the snow.
Do you remember saying that could have been a week ago to be
honest? Yeah.
And any snowy biome?
I just, I don't know. I feel like it's more of a
Christmas type of deal. I know that's not fair to people
and like Alaska or Canada or anywhere they live in the snow.
But it feels like yeah. One time a year at least for me.
Yeah. So I'm going to read a little
bit on camera. So for those who don't know our
milk local patrons, get to listen to the show live and
talk. Ooh, US during the show.
Generally we save live chat for pre and post shows but because
it's been such a low Minecraft content, we're like hey just
start talking in the chat will bring it up in the show and
stuff and obvious mentioning. It might have been the post-show
we talked about this but we don't talk about post-show
topics that were suggested by listeners.
Unless they are patrons because I don't want to answer a
question. They asked and them not be able
to hear it, right? So and I don't think This is a
patron question, so if we answered, it should have been on
the main show. Oh, that's what it was Omni.
We talked about biomes and aren't used enough.
Yes, that was it. Mmm.
That was it. I remember it now.
That was the main topic last man.
Yeah, so we were able to still talk about.
Yeah, we still go on in there and I mean, if I were to go my
least favorite. I don't, I I think I would go
Mooshroom Islands. Whoo.
And that's Herschel. Well I love them for the fact
that it's non it's Mom prove my proof right?
But every single person who lives there has to terraform the
entire Island. It's true.
So for me that's saying I think everyone can agree.
It's the ugliest-looking island. Yeah it can look beautiful
though. With that green grass.
Yeah, once you get it done, it's really nice.
Mmm, but it's a grind. You're right?
Yeah, no one wants purple grass. It's like fungus and purple.
Chris. Alright well, thank you for that
kitty cat to and mangos that comment was from our Discord and
that's the only place you can 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
weathering effect Discord. It's a great place to hang out
with other Minecraft enthusiasts and the creators of the show.
The link to join the Discord is in the show notes.
Alright, thanks for that Cass, speaking.
The Discord is the only place you can get involved in our
mending Minecraft vote. This week, we asked you to
choose between one to three, biomes for us to discuss and
improve your choices. Were Stone Shore, snowy Tundra,
and jungle and the winner of many Minecraft this week is
Jungle by good bit. Yeah, definitely didn't even
bother betting on this one because I knew jungle was going
to weigh. A lot of people didn't even know
about the stone Shore. They all thought it was kind of
new with the with mountain update.
No stone short been around awhile.
Yeah. It's been around stone.
Sure. And snowy Tundra actually tied
with 16 votes. Yep and the jungle had 31.
So congratulations jungle live chat freaking out because it
Realize that we don't actually play the drum rolls or the
advertisements Carl all doesn't post show.
I think most of them are like want to hear the music at the
end to when we say bye. No sorry, no music.
No. We don't get the luxury of decoy
music and our version it's very catchy but we don't get to hear
it. It really is.
So a few things on the jungle I have a jungle is a less
temperate biome full of dense vegetation they are somewhat
rare biomes Ali are expansive in size and usually generate and
green biome clusters. Some notable blocks found in the
jungle our jungle logs, melons cocoa beans and cocoa and
bamboo. There are seven different seven,
different variations of the Jungle, including the regular
jungle, jungle Hills, modified jungle, jungle Edge modified
jungle Edge, bamboo jungle and bamboo jungle Hills specific
mobs, The jungle are ocelots. I was going to say, axolotls
ocelots, pandas, and parrots. You probably find an axolotl and
a jungle. The Jungle Pyramid is a
structure that can only generate in the jungle biome and there
are no jungle Villages. But if a villager is born in a
jungle it will have a special jungle skin that's it for the
jungle. So to start my parameters for
fixing them. Jungle are I don't want to talk
about the Jungle Pyramid because that's the structure.
And that'll probably show up as something for us to fix it in
another mending Minecraft vote. We might have even done that.
We might have already talked about that one.
Yeah, I don't know if it's one or not, but it's been up there
for four vote. I want to say, so, because I'm
looking at vipers to and talk about jungle should have moss.
And yeah, I agree. I think.
I remember saying something where you should be able to find
the Moss Block, in a jungle temple.
Yeah, it's a good suggestion. It makes perfect sense.
The big thing is why? No jungle Village is Mojang.
I can get Jungle villager, but I can't get a structure.
We need to work on that. The probably the best skins to
they really are. They're very cool-looking skins.
Mmm, I would love to have a jungle Village.
Like make it a treehouse jungle Village.
How cool would that be? Yeah, I was just about to ask
you what it would look like. That might be a little too much.
You'd have villagers falling out of the trees and dying so that
probably wouldn't happen but it's just an idea.
Yeah. Yeah.
Maybe work on the path. Finding before, doing that.
At least gonna put them in the trees but I could see maybe like
Huts little jungle Huts. Now the hard thing is jungle has
some of the most vegetation the most, what I call quote unquote,
food, items and then mobs. All in its little biome thing.
Like it's got so much variation in stuff adding on to.
It was a little bit difficult. But if I were to add a mob
monkey, yes, let's get a monkey in there.
That'd be really cool. If you have monkeys, you must
have bananas. So there's there's a another
food source in the game. We have some bananas.
Of course I don't think monkeys in real life.
Actually go for bananas in the wild.
I think that's just movie thing. Yeah I but I probably see them
Eden before I think I have but maybe it's ya know they'll eat
them but I don't think like that's what they go for in real
life. Yeah I noticed some monkeys use
sticks to Try to collect like termites.
Yeah and aunts and ants. Let's don't bring in more bugs.
So let's try to keep out the book.
Yeah, rather eat the bananas. Exactly.
But I mean, if we're going to talk about bugs, let's talk
about combating bugs. Yeah.
So when it came to add a new plant, now, this plant is not
really known for being in the jungle.
Matter of fact, it's indigenous to where From and the Carolinas.
But it's what do they call it? An endangered species and that's
something I know Mojang tries to bring attention to things.
You know, help people learn and stuff and I thought the Venus
flytrap would be a good option. Yeah.
And all I could think about was leading a spider over it and the
spider getting caught. In the Venus flytrap, I was
thinking bees but spiders, spiders would be a thing.
Now would it be hostile to people?
That's what I'm not sure. Cuz Venus fly traps will get you
if you're not careful, but that being said, like if you tap it
in the center, it's not they don't react quickly.
They kind of wait a second to make sure that the praise edible
enough or catchable enough to eat.
And I know that's one of the things that we were taught young
like don't poke the Venus flytrap because it'll close his
mouth looking to eat something. And sometimes they won't open
back up and they'll end up dying that way.
Hmm, I didn't know that. So you don't want to just
randomly start poking Venus flytraps.
So I don't know if I wouldn't want to make them hostile.
The players at seems to be going in the wrong direction.
Yeah, I'm thinking just anything like it's a trap.
Yeah, it's a fly trap. So maybe anything that came
across it, it just like, Snapped, could be, could be.
Um, there were a lot of cool plants like Jungles have some
really cool plants and Oh life. But I wanted something with a
bit variation. A bit more color than just
green. One of the ones I looked at was
called the Angels Trumpet. I thought that was very cool
looking but I couldn't see a useful purpose to put it in the
game other than it being good looking.
So yeah I would like to see more flying mobs.
Now we do have one of the only flying mobs in the jungle.
It's the parrot. I'd call that more gliding than
flying. Yeah they don't I guess.
They don't technically fly, they do just as much as flying as a
chicken, you know. I don't know what kind of flying
mobs. Just not like a bug.
Just no more bugs. There's someone yelling in a
chat. Bzo tropical bees.
We already got bees. We don't need any more bees.
Yeah, absolutely not. But those are good suggestions.
That's all I really had for jumping.
Like I said, I thought jungles were already pretty diverse in a
lot of different areas. There wasn't a lot to fix in a
jungle except for why no Villages.
Hmm, we could really use something that we did just get
the pan as well. I guess that was a little while
ago. Yeah.
Remember what update that was? I don't think.
I've still come across. 80 naturally generated Panda yet.
Me neither. It said that they're pretty rare
the jungle in general. Hmm when you find one they're
pretty large they're they're not very common, at least not near
spawn. Yeah.
Our worlds, at least there's been a couple times where I
wanted to build in a jungle but the closest jungle biome was
like ten thousand blocks out. So I just chose not to do that.
Yeah. I think you're looking for
Jungle like a jungle Cliff. Yeah.
Last season. I was looking for that and it
was way out there and I was like I'm not going to do a Carl and
build this massive another tunnel.
But anyways, how about we move into our topic, which is another
random thoughts Stuff. Most of mine are surrounded
about 118 coming up. I don't know about yours Jimbo.
Mine are just random just random.
Yep, these always seem to be more fun for me because it's
just up, that's a random thought, write it down.
We don't need to theme an entire topic around it.
Yeah. To I had off the top of my head
and two of them, I was kind of looking around for a post-show
topic in these came about. So these are a couple random
thoughts, you know? You want me to start?
I think I have one extra or two. You actually have two extra so
you go ahead and go. Yeah, my first thought is that
the warning Trader should be more rare.
But taggable you find yourself a warning Trader?
Most of the time they're annoying because they show up in
the middle of nowhere and they're always showing up.
But what if they showed up like once in a blue moon like you
never seen these guys and they had really good items and you
can actually We obtain them maybe I don't know, maybe they
needed a llama. One of their llamas around to be
able to re-up on their supplies. Yeah.
So you're talking about using a name tag on them and now they
don't despawn. Yeah.
But they need the Llama to be able to produce more items that
they have in their inventory to regenerate the trades.
Yeah, regenerate I kind of like that because right now Winery
traitor. Absolutely useless to me.
They're filled with a bunch of good items for early game but I
don't have impulse early came there essentially useless the
best thing they got our leads. Yeah and a lot of smps.
At least they've been putting in like mob head traits.
Yeah, they've been putting in different kind of trades for
them to be more useful, so they wouldn't have to do that.
If they had a little more use, I'm as of right now, the most
sacred. Sure thing, you can get from
them is like a drip Leaf. Yeah.
And in the next update trip that's cause we're going to be
yeah. Fairly common.
Yep. Yeah, wanting Traders.
They need an upgrade. Mine is let's get some cave.
Sounds figure it out. So the cape sounds we have now
for me are way more annoying than they are.
Good to the point where I've turned the FX volume level for
those guys off. I don't hear them anymore.
Mmm, most of my bases are underground.
So I'm constantly hearing stuff like that all the time.
It's just like so one of my proposed items where we should
have the sounds affected by why level.
So the higher up your or whatever like that.
Because think about it, if you're technically underground
in a mountain cave. Sounds ice hard for me to
explain. All I know is, I hear cave
sounds all the time and basically, every base I have and
you get super annoying sinking light, Level could also be
another if I go through a cave and light it up, I should no
longer hear any more sounds. Yeah.
So I don't have to worry about that anymore.
Make it maybe more relative to what cave.
It's in like sometimes you hear voices that sound like it could
be a mine shaft but really it's just the cave.
Maybe Lush caves have certain sounds and dripstone.
Caves have another sound. Yeah like make them so you can
distinguish. What cave is near you?
Yeah, make more sense. But if I go To and I light
everything up. I don't want to hear that
anymore because I already figured out there was a cave
over there, let it off. Okay, speaking of omnes in the
chat or whatever. Omni pranked me last season by
putting tons and tons of cats around my base.
I have friendly creature sounds off.
I never knew he did that till I opened a box where everything
just 100 cats came spewing out of the ground.
It's like, okay, is that it? He's like, oh, they're all
around your base. I go, I'm there.
We're gonna find them. I can't hear them.
So it kind of ruined his prank because it didn't bother me any
to pretty much pranked. Everyone who came to your base.
Exactly. They got pranked.
So I think I heard him before and I'm like, see if a cat in
the ground. Nope.
No cats. Just, just an omni.
Yeah, I'd like to be able to turn my volumes up on certain
things, but there are some overpowering sounds or
overbearing sounds. I just get tired of listening to
especially when you're on form. Two hours, multiple days a week
for multiple weeks, a year. Yeah.
Yeah, I've noticed you know. So, my next one we've talked
about this before. I don't know if it was on the
show or off the show, but I feel like amethyst crystals should be
broken by water. No more.
This rigging up, an amethyst geode with all these Hoppers and
pistons and, you know, Redstone everywhere.
It could be very messy. Yeah.
And if you could just make them broken by water, it would be so
much more simpler. I mean, you already have to go
out of your way to build one of these things, and I feel like it
being broken by water could set the score straight, you know,
even it out a little bit even out the score.
Yeah. Because at that point, you were
just build a room around a things and flood it.
Yep, flood the room, pick up the Drops.
I know it makes it a little easier but man what they have
you do and now it's kind of like I don't know you almost want to
just mine them instead of building all these Pistons.
Yeah, honestly I don't mind the way it's done.
Now, if I could move the cluster block, that they grow on ya.
If I could move that sure, let's do it that way, but because I
can't move that I'm kind of with you.
And I would like an easier way to get these things.
Because as of right now, Now, it's pretty annoying.
That being said, we're playing on a 116 generator world, not a
117. So us getting any kind of geode
material is super pain. Mmm.
Yeah, it's kind of, way out, way out there and different chunks
that we've never been before. I mean right at least maybe next
season there could be one underneath of us or 50 blocks
away. Yeah I'm fully hoping that I
just happen to build on top of a And make my life a lot easier
because there are some cool things I want to build using
those blocks. But yeah, like I wanted to use
calcite the other day and I went oh I only have like three stacks
of this. I better make sure this is what
I want to use those blocks on because I don't want to have to
go get more if you need some, let me know.
So I have some, but yeah, I want to build an amethyst geode Farm
or amethyst Crystal Farm next season.
Also, because I'm going to be using A lot of those I really
want to try to build a shulker farm really going for it.
Those are kind of complicated. Yeah.
At least a lot of Manpower work goes into that but I think that
would be something I'd want to try.
I'm just worried that because I don't have a ton of time during
the week to do it. That I'd end up having multiple
episodes of working on just as one little farm because they're
visually, they're not big mmm. A lot of effort and I would hate
to, I want to say kill my content by doing a farm like
that and not be fun to watch. So if the hard part is just
getting at shulker. Yeah, back to the place alive,
we gotta get to. Yeah, two of them.
And if you want better rates, you need like four six.
Mmm. Yeah, I probably do it alone if
I was you. Yeah, you got my number.
Yeah, it seems. I could live stream if we want
to get back into live stream because I've taken a taking a
break from live streaming. I want to get a new time slot
down if that makes sense. Yeah, I have been working on
overlays and stuff just trying to pretty up everything but a
new time slot sounds really good for live streams.
Yeah. All my stuff's gone.
So you're starting from scratch to be starting from scratch.
Hmm. Should I tell my next one before
you do your last one? Yeah, it's go ahead.
Talk about your next one. I had this.
I actually saw a picture of it on Twitter should iron blocks
rust. Now that we have the copper
block it. What is it?
What's it called? What's it do again weathered?
Yeah is there's a word for it. Oxidation, oxidized it gets
oxidized and turns that green, maybe now that we have that iron
block should rust, you know, it only seems fair to the Copper
block that maybe It could change State as well.
I mean we still have wax maybe it has the same features as the
copper and you're adding more blocks of the game.
And while we're at it, why not give a stairs and slabs?
Like you do the copper, not too sure where you would use them.
I'm sure people would find a way, but yeah, maybe some rusty,
iron stairs you could build with.
Hmm. Just a thought I'm scrolling
through because originally, when I heard someone talk about this,
I No, I don't want that that because if you got rusted iron,
that just means you're not taking care of something.
You don't want that and then I realized but it really does work
in builds and stuff. So I'm for it now, especially
after I saw a tweet, there is an image where someone went ahead
and did the textures for rusted iron.
Yeah, that's what I saw and it looked really good.
Let's see the big one. I'm saying now is flame Lord.
Seven. It's not the one I saw but those
textures are pretty good. You don't know which one I saw.
Sought a while ago, zika, that's pretty neat.
The more I got thinking about it as I can.
That should probably be a thing. Hmm, because you're giving that
weathered look to iron now and not to mention more blocks to
the game. Yeah.
I can't believe I can't find the I want to give credit to the
person I saw. Yeah.
I don't think I'd be able to Pinpoint exactly who it was.
There's actually it was a couple weeks of maybe a few weeks ago.
I saw this. Yeah, I'm not seeing the exact
one I solve but I like the idea. Yeah.
I mean, it could get annoying. The only thing I was thinking
like is with beacons. Now you got your beacons.
It could entrust. It could look cool though.
Rusting do oxidized copper blocks work on beacons because
copper blocks work. If I'm not mistaken.
And I don't think cockblocks work on the beacons, they don't
work on the beacons, don't think Joe feel like they should it
would make sense because it's an or yeah.
But then again coals and or and it doesn't work on the peak in
either. Yeah, but it's it's a different
one. You get.
But it's a cat dude. Lapis beacons, either.
No, because you can't smelt laughs as you can't smelt Cole.
Yeah. But iron gold.
Copper, you gotta smell it at all.
There's a raw form that, yeah, that's a raw form.
So that's why I was thinking. It should be used in beacons,
how know? Maybe I'm wrong, but I've never
seen an oxidized Beacon. So, yeah, Pipers tune has
mentioned, you can't smell Diamond, but you can have
Diamond beacons. The diamonds are exception.
Always exceptions to the rules, right?
Yes. Yeah.
I don't think there's a copper Beacon.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm thinking there is hope not.
Are you saying you can smelt? Diamond doors?
See. See the confusion.
Yeah, but there's no raw diamond.
Yeah, there's no such thing as raw diamond.
Yeah. You know how many diamonds there
would be if there's a raw diamond?
Yeah. All right.
On my last one and that's how about it's time.
We update bats or get them out of the game because bats pretty
annoying. I agree and they don't do
anything cave, update sounds like a great time to finally
give an update to the Right, right.
Like if there's any time I'll need yelling, not everything
needs to do something, then it needs to get out of my way off
me. Because bats are annoying.
Yeah. Like they haven't even like
retexture them or anything, like they're kind of.
Yeah, they're cut. They kind of just get in the way
there's times where you go to fight things and you hit it back
that you're trying to mind something and you happen to hit
a bat, you know, they just kind of get in your way, maybe that's
what they do. Maybe that's their thing.
I don't know. No, but I feel like there could
be more use out of them, you know, we mentioned that one time
about giving them some kind of sonar ability, like what is it?
The spectral Arrow type of deal. Yeah, maybe you can make your
own spectral arrows. I don't want to come up with a
way to fix a back because I just want him gone, that's someone
who builds underground a lot and who likes to play with low light
levels bad, you're so annoying? Yeah, yeah.
I like Fix them but nah, get him out of here.
You have to be cool. Fix it.
Have to be a Cool Fix. They could.
They'd drop cool heads. If you have mob head drops, if
you have mop head drops, they do drop some cool heads.
That's about it. You can be Batman.
And that's about the coolest thing.
You can not even, you can't even do that anymore.
They fixed it. So, it's more representative of
the texture. Are they brownish?
Yeah, I like the black bag. No more Batman.
What Jim was like, never mind. Kill the bat like that.
Do that. We'll have to retexture attend
every texture. The retexture my last one.
I have here, fairly simple. And I feel like a lot of people
would agree in that is ever since SMP is smps, is started up
the season. They've all had or most of them
at least have had proximity chat the and I'm a huge fan of it.
I feel like all SPS should have proximity chat.
If you don't have proximity chat, you're doing something
wrong 100%, but I think I mentioned as multiple times in
the show, mmm, I feel SPS, like everyone starts out in the same
area for a week and then they move hundreds of blocks away
from each other and then you never run into each other.
Unless there is a group project or something like that, I hate
that I am extremely excited for hermit, crabs doing the season.
Every you look at impulse green, Ian and Mumbo they're building
on top of each other. I have no doubt by the end of
the season, that area is going to be laggy as all.
But the fact that they're so close to each other with
proximity chat is leading to so many, cool fun, little Snippets
and an episode. Like, that's the stuff I've been
wanting for years and it's like, yay.
That's why to me the first couple episodes of a season are
always the best because you're always seeing in Iraq, Actions
between members and living that close, you're going to see
interactions with members all the time now, which is great and
being a content creator. The amount of content you can
gain from that. Yep.
Collaborations be huge. Yeah.
Last season the hermit's were still relatively close but not
as close as they are this season.
But yeah, proximity chat is definitely something.
I want to be pushing for on ripple effect.
I know there are also a couple No other people who want it.
So, yeah. Hopefully you'll be seeing that
next season on ripple effect. Yeah, I'm going to vote for it.
If I got to make an extra count for that Jimbo unsliced Chiba,
slice 24 joints a chat. Yeah.
