Hey everyone. Welcome to the withering effect.
Episode 59. Today's date is August, 24 2020,
and I am Duds or Duds versus known to the rest of the
interwebs because I'm Jimbo, you may know me as Jimbo slice 23.
So what has your week been? What have you been up to this
week Duds? I think I try to reword that
every single time I think you do.
You had no problem every time the pre-show you nailed the
pre-show. So I want to put that out there
guys Jimbo doesn't struggle every time you read the script,
he killed it in the pre-show. Just just this one.
Just the intro for the main show is the one that gets messed up.
It's like a hate word sentence. Yeah.
It's like you're short as script.
Yeah. That's it.
It's, it's me. My Minecraft week has been In
this confined 21 by Five Deep by 10 tall, or 11th all space.
And, you know what, my real life has actually been about the same
because it's about the size of my office.
Well, nice. Yeah, Minecraft.
I was working in the storage room.
Finally, I'm finally trying to get things in place so I can go
ahead and move my spawn townhouse to the island.
Mountain and picking the item sorter out for this season, took
three days, not gonna lie. Wow.
So I had first, it was, do I want a redstone sorter, again
this season or do I want to just do manual?
And I very much teetered on doing a manual sorter this
season, okay, mainly because of the amount of lag we've been
having on the server in 1/16. Yeah, boy.
We updated 2116 to. Yeah, and the server has been
awesome and 116 to granted this week's kind of been slow on the
server. There really hasn't been a lot
of people on think the most that have been on at one time for me,
it's been five. But yeah, it's running
amazingly. So I said, you know, I'm going
to go Redstone Sorter and then it came.
Do I do a shorter like I did last season where you have to
keep an item and every single slide of every single chest to
make sure it works. Or do I do a categorize?
ER like Cass and a couple of the other people I think of fan used
one from a guy. I'm sorry I can't think of his
name. Thank you as one also.
Yeah but I don't think Tangos works in the oh latest updates.
Like I think he abandoned that after one 1200.
Okay, I use one last season. I think it was by Tango it might
have been impulse, I don't know. Never mind.
I ended up going with the same one I use last season.
I was a little worried because that that design was designed.
For 114 and, or actually was designed for 112 and updated for
113. Hmm, But I knew it worked for
114 because we played in 114. Yeah, last season.
So I pulled up at the old ripple effect World jumped in, and I
sat there for like, two hours running this item sorter.
As hard as I could to see if 116 to would break it.
Nope. Worked like a champ?
No, I was like nice, perfect. I built it once I can build it
again. Dang.
I forgot how much building that thing sucked.
As I was building it. I had flashbacks so there's not
a tutorial. Oh, the way you do it.
It's it's a designed by Saibot and he has a world, you download
and he's got a couple designs. And this what I call lobby area
and you walk over like I want to I want to mess with this design
and you hit a button. It will teleport you somewhere
else on the map where he breaks down the build.
So it's like, okay, here's the build.
If you want to build this section here it is.
Here's the next section. Here's the next section.
And you're done. Here's the final section.
So that's how he does it pretty neat.
Mmm, and it works though. There are some hidden Redstone
B, but since I built it last time I remembered that and was
able to bring one instance of on one Monitor and bring my
survival world up on another. I start building.
I literally got ten blocks in lost internet.
Met at the house, this was like a Saturday or something like
that. And I had, I had pushed it in
myself that I was finishing this build before.
I went to bed, I waited, and I waited, and now there's a
motorcycle. I know you guys get tired of me
saying there's a motorcycle, but it's like freaking Clockwork on
Mondays now. Hmm.
Okay, he turned it off. Oh is the motorcycle the
internet finally came back at 9:30 that night and I was that
man at that point. Now it's like do I stay up and
And you building this because I know I have hours of redstone
work in front of me or do I just call it a night and go to bed
early. I stayed up and I ended up
building it. I didn't get it functional.
I just got all the Redstone and place and I was happy with that.
I ended up finishing around 1 a.m. so it wasn't terrible, but
it definitely gave me flashbacks.
And I don't know if I'll build it a third time.
It's not a complicated build. I will say that.
Anybody Who can understand his little Lobby section, it's super
easy to build, it's just confined spaces and repetitive
movements. And if anyone been following me,
that makes me nauseous playing Minecraft so okay.
Yeah, it's dunk, but I ended up knocking it out, getting it
done. You hop on Sunday and I was
like, I'm going to make sure this thing's fully functional
before I go any further. So I fill all the chests with
items. The big sorting system.
So the way that the whole Machine Works, is it?
Is sticks through the system and that's how it works.
Its timing mmm. And it uses for maps and an item
sorter to kind of push, these sticks will also I threw the 45
stack of of sticks in there and it's going through, its sorting
everything. I noticed, two of the uprights
aren't working properly, I'm like okay what's going on with
this? And then I realized I didn't
name the filter sticks before I put them in there.
Hmm. That didn't break the machine,
the machine. Showed it was still for the most
part functioning but I realized I had to get the normal sticks
out of there because if I ever put normal sticks into the
machine it would obviously break it.
Yeah. So the only way to get all the
filters or get all those regular sticks out and put my filter
sticks in was I was naming a stack of sticks at a time and I
would throw them in the machine and then break the hopper that
does the cycle. And so, instead of cycling, it
was just pushing sticks into my inventory.
And then when the machine stopped, I'd go get more name
sticks. Do it in there and it keep
pushing Out a name sticks. I kept doing that until I
started to get nothing but named sticks.
As I could cool. I fixed that part.
That was three hours, pushing sticks to this machine because
it's not the one who sticks. Yeah, it's not a fast machine.
I'll give it that. That's its greatest downfall as
it's not quick. And you can't leave the chunks
when it starts going but for me, looking at the Redstone it's
reliable Redstone, there's nothing complicated.
They're not taking advantage of any kind of quasi.
Connectivity. It's just simple Redstone.
So for me it means it should hopefully never break.
Yeah but then I had to come and figure out why the two stacks
weren't working correctly. Luckily I look down and I see
two repeaters on the wrong setting and I would click click
and then everything worked perfectly from then on.
So I was extremely excited. Nice!
I have to do my own sorter, my own storage sorter this year.
Yeah, I have an idea. Welcome to look at it tutorial
that stick tutorial. That's Different that you
mentioned. It really is.
And if you want I can send you the world and you can look
around because he's got several different designs.
One of the cool ones is like this Warehouse design.
He's got, hmm. I say he, I shouldn't say he, I
don't know for sure. It could be, he or she, they,
they have a really cool world and stuff.
And if you guys want it, let me know and I'll post the download
link or whatever and Discord. Yeah, it'd be great to look at
for inspiration and Stuff. Hmm, I'd like I think my main
storage is 38 double chests. That's it.
It's not too bad. No, it's not.
A lot of chests that granted, I will have bulk storage and
that's not going to do any storage for any kind of farms I
have. But it'll do me.
Well, mines, probably going to be very bulky because I'm doing
it myself and I'm not great at Redstone.
So I need a really big area for this still.
Don't know where I'm going to put it all.
I'm going to ask is don't do the Mumbo-jumbo and put 900, hoppers
down there. It's fair.
It's the only thing that worries me.
He's building that same item. Sorter design every season.
Hmm. And I'm just like, dude, that's
what hurts. So bad in your base.
He's got a super beefy PC, so he doesn't feel it.
Granted, you have a super beefy PC to I was looking at your
frames while you were live streaming compared to my frames
while I was in your base building.
The be hmm. Oh my Lord.
Lord, there's pretty good. So like you average what 300 and
something frames at your base? Yeah, sometimes it goes to like
240. Something I don't really pay
attention to much. I stayed right at 100 the entire
time I was in your base, there really isn't much going on
there. Well it was it was trying to
render the big hole. Yeah.
And that's what it hurt. Yeah it's like you took things
out of the world. How is it having trouble
rendering at? Yeah right.
That's what I was thinking. Should be, should be easy.
When it's kind of like how glass and water causes a little bit of
framework lag. It's not excessive but when you
put a giant glass structure somewhere, you can notice.
Yeah. Anyways, I'm excited to see what
you do over there. Like, seeing that giant hole I
was just like holy cow. It's gonna get bigger.
Tiffany gonna get bigger, geez, my week this week.
I actually built a, which form? I went ahead and knocked it out.
Figured, I'd do it early. Just so So I can get drops
going. Oh yeah yeah I have the Rocket
Shop which were both the part of and that helps with that.
I do have I'm getting sugar and spider eyes that I'm probably
going to filter out. I might do sugar or I might get
shoulder box just have a full chakra box of sugared spider
eyes. I was going to say do a show
core box first, but I agree with you probably get rid of that
once you get the Shoulder box, full.
Yeah, I'm not going to need any more than that so probably Burn
those items and keep the rest? I mean, it comes with sticks,
glass bottles, Redstone Glowstone gunpowder, I'll use
all those. I was thinking about the
lighting because I want to make like a lighting down at the
bottom where the Bedrock is to make like a fog effect type of
deal. I like those things and I didn't
know what to use for lighting in here.
Croc 17 was like Hey you know you have glowstone from the
which Farm I was like, wow. Totally forgot about all that
glowstone. I have that I probably wouldn't
even use until he said that so far.
We're going to use that to light up where the fog effects going
to be. I did stream this week, which is
a rare thing I do. Yeah.
Don't have a schedule for it. I visited your base.
That must have been right before you built this order, right?
Yes, I was. I think I was looking at the
whole. Mmm, going.
And I really doing this again. Yeah.
When I He didn't have a sorter, it was a little bit after you
had visited my base. That basically, my internet went
down, didn't realize it. I want to say, it was a couple
minutes after your stream, ended.
I went my internet is gone back to the which Farm.
I use these all Glenn powered which Farm I guess you could
say. I know I watched your video on
that and that's super cool because the Redstone in which
Farms has always kind of been a bit of a pain.
Yeah. My only thing is, do you get
spiders spawning in there? Because that was always.
My problem with know every which Farm I built.
I had always mess up and somehow would get spiders spotting in
there. No.
Hmm, there's no spiders. I think it's a I don't know.
I have the platform's where they need to be the 7x9 three
platforms. I think only witches are
supposed to spawn in there. Far as I know I mean I don't
think I built a which Farm since the first season common craft so
it's been a while. Okay yeah I think my changed but
I noticed there's a tutorial for it.
I didn't It to watch the whole video but I was really curious
of why there's all Glen's Wouldn't Die.
You know, why, why don't the witches killed as all glands but
does all Glenn's actually they get healed with the weakness
potion, The Witch's through Adam so they'll never die though.
Actually get healed while they're in there.
Hmm. That's only thing I watch, but I
did go back and get to see the farm or watch the tutorial after
I was done and I realized he put two soglin's per platform which
I use to 1, which is Fine, I'm cool with one rates are
perfectly food. Could be more efficient but I
don't know. I saw your video.
Dude. You had overflow after your
first AFK session. That was awesome.
Yeah. And you don't have things lit up
very well, right? Like, you haven't gone through
and you haven't done caves. Most your surface is still kind
of dark. So the fact that you're getting
those kinds of rates Bravo. Yeah, it's going really.
Well. I also notice the walls on the
outside of the farm, in the tutorial, he Stairs which I
guess helps the rates. Hmm, I'm not going to need that,
you know, because the rates are so good as they are.
I had a question, you put a roof on the farm but why'd you put a
roof on the farm because you and close it all.
There's no glass. There's no nothing.
Yeah, I was thinking that too. Like, do I need all that?
Probably don't need all that, but I did it just because I
don't think very, I don't think very good.
I saw it, I went well, he was probably going to design it in
one way. Way.
And then changed his mind halfway through it.
That's what I was thinking. No proof was last.
Okay, well either way you look at it I don't think you need the
roof. So if you want to get rid of the
roof you can if you want to keep it go ahead and I mean it's a
cool. Look at build as it is it
depends on what I put around it. I'm still working on how to hide
this thing. What kind of tower it's going to
be a tower type of futuristic Tower kind of exotic-looking I
have an idea but I'm trying Put it into Minecraft and it's
getting pretty difficult when I get into it.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's just I don't know I don't want to take any builds from
people so I'm trying to come up with my own team and thing and
it's actually pretty difficult so still working on that but
that's that's about it. There's some else I want to talk
to you about. Oh your sticks from your which
Farm have you thought about making an auto furnace?
Just fueling it with those sticks.
I could do that. I mean I was I was thinking of
what else? I could put in that Tower
because I want to put not just a which Farm hiding in this huge
Tower. Maybe combine it with something.
A furnace array would be perfect.
Actually, because, what else would I use the sticks for?
I mean, I could use it in some crafting, but for furnace,
array. You know.
I could save a lot on. Yeah, Cole and whatever you,
what else, you, whatever else you would use?
Yeah, blaze rods or anything like that, two sticks.
If there's that much, might as well.
I think if you put a buffer chest like, you know, the hopper
that goes into the back of the Furnace.
Hmm. If you do like a double chest as
a buffer chest so that way it's filling up the buffer chest,
even if you do like giant, smelting projects because, you
know, sticks burn, was it two sticks per item or is it four
sticks? I don't know.
I know that. Yeah, they burn fast.
Yeah. So if you put a big double chest
behind it too, kind of buffer. I think you'll be safe because I
was thinking about doing kind of the same thing.
But I was thinking about, doing it with bamboo this season.
So, that's where I had the idea. It's like, well, I planned on
doing this with bamboo and I was like, oh wait Jimbo has a which
form he could do the same thing but with sticks.
Yeah to do that. Holy cow.
We've talked a lot. Good Minecraft talk though.
Yeah. Yeah, we can start with the
news. It it's all you this week.
Yeah. I'll cover the news.
You got to listen to comment on the news this week, it's just
more combat news. It's combat test snapshot 8B,
what they call it and they brought back The bow and
accuracy or yeah, the bow. Inaccuracies back along with the
interrupted eating, which we talked about that, you know, we
didn't like how they took that out.
So that's back, except it is. I guess it's after 4 seconds.
They changed some things after 4 seconds.
Yeah, it's like three or four. Yeah, then it'll start shaking.
So you got a little bit more time to hold back on the bill,
which is cool. And makes sense, I thought they
were, they weren't going to do the interrupted eating still,
but I may have read that wrong. Yeah, they added back.
Okay, that interrupted eating and Potions.
If you were to take a potion and it could be interrupted.
That'd be one reason to switch to splash potions.
If you're worried about getting interrupted, right?
That's a good thought. Also added liquid foods are
consumed faster. So potions milk.
What else is a liquid food? I don't know, soups or stews,
they caught potions or buffed slightly, I guess the health
potion can regenerate more home. I don't know that, that was the
only example that they gave. So I don't know if that applied
to all potions, if they're all buffed.
I know the health potion is and tip Darrow effects, or use
different weight tipped are effects use different
percentages, depending on the draw of the bow, so I guess
there's like 128 of the effect. So if you hit them, like if you
draw back your bow and let go real fast, you're only going to
get one. 1% of that effect if you draw back all the way and
hit someone with that tip there. Oh you're going to get the full
effect of that tipped are. Oh dang.
So I thought that was a pretty cool change and that's it, at
least. That's all that's really
notable. Yeah, let's go ahead and move on
to listener comments. We got an email from Joe and
it's a long one. So I'm going to try to read it
out for the most part. I might skip some parts but
yeah, thank you. Joe for sending email Joe says,
hey guys. How was your week been?
We talked about it for like 20 minutes, so pretty good week
actually we talked about it in the pre-show also.
So if you want to count that that's like 40 minutes talking
about our week long week. Mmm says had a few questions for
you before the meat and potatoes of this.
I got introduced to Minecraft for my kid.
Sounds familiar. Hmm.
As every first and second grade at the time, I'm assuming the
kids in first second grade. Yeah.
I was definitely playing Super Mario Bros at that time.
Yeah, it's on the tendo. Yeah, time reference.
This is a few months, before the, in City update, I currently
play on the PS4 version of Bedrock.
Happy with the new nether update ps4 version.
Got the another update. I know for a while that version
was lagging behind. Hmm, But I guess I finally
caught up. Yeah, well, do familiar with it.
So he says unto the meal when doing the announcement, is it
possible to address any bedrocks concern when needed?
That's the first part of the thing and Only way I can answer
it is if there's big stuff that pops up or someone lets us know
of Bedrock issues will definitely address it.
Yeah, we get our news by going to minecraft.net and looking for
any big stuff they kind of talked about and most of the
time their main focus is Java and that's our main focus
because that's what we play. Neither one of us play anything
on Bedrock. So we don't like to talk about
Bedrock because we found will talk out of turn and will be
incorrect on a lot of stuff were incorrect about a lot of stuff
on Java to. Yeah.
Yeah, at least there's some things we can say, we know
correctly in Java. We got no problem talking about
Bedrock. We just don't know a lot about
it. Groove a guy, he's in our
Discord, he's a Bedrock player and he's super smart.
I'm sure if you ask nicely in the public section, don't ping
him every 30 seconds with questions.
I'm sure he'll help out. Yeah, there's anything, but
yeah, updates and stuff will definitely mention that for the
most part Bedrock is on par with Java now, right?
Yeah. That's what I was going to say.
A lot of it's the same. You know they try to they're
trying to the whole parity thing to try to bring it together a
little bit more. So there's not too much of a
difference. Obviously there are.
And yeah, yeah. I've never seen the come across
any bedrock news or any differences either.
Either on my Twitter. Youtube that's probably because
I play Java as well. Yeah, the the only time I see
major differences is when they're doing the snapshots and
that's because Bedrock will work on a few features and then Java
will work on a few different features.
And then about the Midway Point through the development, you'll
start to see all those features kind of crossover.
Hmm. So yeah, there's that.
And obviously we'll be talking about Bedrock then because we
know those features will be coming to Java soon.
We keep an eye out for Bedrock, I'm sorry, we don't talk more
about it, it's just we don't play it.
So we don't know as many issues with it.
But there are tons of Bedrock players out there making videos.
Now, obviously, you got Groove a guy.
I know he's streaming a lot. He always streams during work so
I never get to see it. But there's the whole.
Oh, what's the server called truly Bedrock?
I think Groove is a part of, that's a fun server to watch.
I don't play Bedrock and I don't watch a lot of Bedrock YouTubers
but that's one server. I keep up with a little bit.
Yeah. Bunch of big names.
If you ever want to learn anything?
That'd be, that'd be the one to watch.
Truly Bedrock SMP. Hmm.
Shout out. Next part of the email was was
curious on your playstyles when I started new seed or join,
someone by default, and get all Iron everything and then plot
out a village once nether bound and ready.
I make weakness potions and cure villagers for cheaper rates,
especially helping me to get in Game Gear.
Way sooner, except for the end, I was just curious because I
rarely die. And I hear you guys speaking
about dying. I do die and that uses.
But when I do, it's in the dumbest ways elal Thank you
guys. For the podcast, gets me through
the boring day and gives me great ideas.
Thanks again sangria out and keep chunking.
I don't know, for keep chunking. Yeah, I'm trying to think of
what chunking would Mead. You mean to email the spawn
chunks on accident? We get to spawn chunks.
Yeah. Well what would you call it,
sir? Withering wilting.
Yeah, we'll keep we'll keep withering and chunking, many
ways. Yeah, thank you so much for the
email and yeah, thanks to me and Jimbo.
Definitely when you're making content you play different 100%
yeah because you want to make sure you're producing good
content so you try to save the good stuff for.
When you know you're going to be recording, a lot of the early
Game Gear getting I don't think me and you make much content
around that anymore. Just because everybody does it,
everyone knows what it's like. Yeah, I might do.
Usually I start out with a mining session, it my first day,
I'm in the mines, I'm grinding out the mines.
Record my mining session but that's it.
That's all you'll see of me in the mines but that's a lot of my
first day or two is getting in the mines and getting resources
and when you record you kind of push your boundaries a little
bit, push the limits. So you do things to put yourself
on that edge of dying. I was going to say dying is good
content. Yeah, it's also good content.
So if you see like a Buncha, zombies.
You know, try to take him out and that, yeah, you could die.
Or do you want to go through these mine shafts, and explore
and try to get the loot. And that's also very dangerous.
So, yeah, I do a lot of dying. I'll admit that.
Hmm, same here. I think you've actually caught
me a desk this, even though I'm up to 25, dude, were even and
let's just perfectly, even, let's put it this way. 20 of
those 25 word, a Hmm, and I have still yet to die anywhere, but
the nether only died in the nether.
Wow, I was just, you know, I keep up on my desk, so my video.
Yeah, I pretty much said on my video.
I'm not going to be able to keep up with these because I died too
much off camera and then I check my deaths.
How's it go? Let's go ahead and check my desk
and there was 25. So we're even if you're at 25,
I'm at 25. I saw you say that and I went
and I checked and yeah, I'm at 25.
I've now, I changed the way I play the game with every new
series or a new season. I do.
And that's because gaming burnout is a big thing for me.
Yeah. And the fact that I'm not
playing a lot of different games anymore, because all my content
is gauge around Minecraft and it takes a long time to put
Minecraft content out. It takes me literally a week or
so to do stuff. So I really don't have time for
other games. Granted, I'll take breaks like I
took a break to play Jedi. Fallen order.
Awesome game by the way. And then I've slowly just slowed
my Pace. If you watch some of my earlier
content, I was knocking out entire builds in one episode.
Just start finish. Everything is detailed ready to
go. Fully functional, and I found
that that wasn't very good content, it was just me saying,
okay, I'm going to do this. Okay, here's a progressive gate,
here's another progress update, here's the finished product.
Thanks for watching, bye. Super boring and seem so over
the Seasons. I've learned to just kind of
chill and take it slow. Like I don't think I got out of
leather armor for the first couple episodes.
Well I don't think I finished the inside of my house.
The first episode, I think it was still just a shell when I
built it. There are finished the first
episode. Definitely different ways to
play when I played my single player world.
There was the rush and grind to get gear as good as possible as
quick as possible because you don't have the support system as
a SMP. Yeah, I'm walking on the server.
First I go anyway. Got any food and like I get
slapped in the face with like five fish.
That's the great part about playing with people.
Yeah, he might play a certain way by self, but once you get
with other people, your yourself played definitely changes.
And if you do play the same way every single time, like you
said, you'll catch that burnout. You know, if you keep doing the
same thing, it gets repetitive and you know, you kind of I've
done this before this games getting boring, you know.
Oh yeah, it's nice to change things up.
Up. Also in that case.
Yeah, if you found like your first night is always going to a
village, securing the villagers and starting a breeder and then
building an iron farm within the first two or three days.
Maybe the next time you start playing don't worry about iron
from the get-go. Yeah do some Mining and stuff
not saying like that's what you're doing now but maybe
that's a little different like I built this item storage.
I think I'm down to nine blocks of iron.
That's all the iron I have left. Oh well Granted Magoo and
Carlock. I think Billy is part of that
shop to, they're selling iron. So I'll probably just go buy
some because profits at the weathering effect.
So, Mmm. Yeah, change the way you play.
Don't play it the same every time and it really does become a
different game. If you found your building the
same, kind of building every time, don't build that next
time, it's really that easy. The thing I can recommend the
most is go online type in architecture, designs and look
through those when you're tired of Looking through those type in
architecture, designs modern look through those nothing, get
your thing, architecture designs, classic or
architectural designs 1900s maybe 1800s then go to Castle
designs stuff like that. You could just build something
you see online. A lot of my builds come from
pictures that I saw online. I'm just like, okay, like my
last season. Common craft That Base was
completely designed off some random picture.
I saw with this Ravine that had Waterfall in it.
Like, I'm going to build that. And I did, I don't think the
castle base from ripple effect last season.
Had anything trying to think? No, I don't think it did.
I think that was the first one. I just like I saw this whole
when I went, I can build in that.
Yeah, had presbury mountain in my head for quite a while before
I built. That didn't really look at
anything. I think I was more.
I think I was inspired by Scar. Yeah.
When he built his pirate ship Mountain.
Actually, no actually, I had prism.
Marie mountain in my head before that came out, but when he built
it, it gave me an idea how to terraform it did help.
Yeah. I was going to say, I remember
you talking about it before he started doing that.
Do want to mention like he plays on Bedrock, so he's kind of
limited. I know.
Java. You could use mods.
That's true. Like it helped having winter and
MadCat helping us to start in the nether.
That really switched up your game play when he started in the
nether. Hmm, it also that helps you die.
Light also. Yeah, I mean, speaking of
Bedrock they just really something this week that I
thought was awesome. And that was like, the Jurassic
World gameplay, pack, or whatever.
It was like, straight up, you build your own dinosaur park.
You got dinosaurs and stuff at least from a trailer.
That's what I saw. And I went mad and stuff like
that. Makes me consider playing
Bedrock because I mean, we can get that on Java.
But you got to look for somebody designing it themselves, and
it's not like fully Edging approved like the Bedrock
marketplaces. So he or TX for Bedrock is what
would want me to play. Pet, rock more than anything.
This is true as Graphics. Pure liking the graphics.
You already know that some Thomas mainly to the listeners.
If you're into, if you're okay with more adult-oriented
Minecraft and youtubing neebs gaming plays with a lot of the
r-tx stuff. Yeah and you can really get a
look. At what it can do on just a
gameplay level, and it's really good.
It's really funny serious to watch two other hilarious, but
be warned there, very adult. And if you don't like curse
words and stuff like that, do not watch.
Yeah, probably don't watch the kids, please don't and, and
don't get mad at us for recommending, or at least me for
recommending that serious to you.
But I think that's it. Should go ahead and move on to
the disk or Dad. Yeah, we better.
Yeah, we should this week's disk or dad is brought to you by
Stone figures. Don't figure is a Milk level
patreon. Thank you so much.
Stone figure, go ahead. Take it away.
Howard Webb's, this is Stone figure.
I'd like to invite you to the weathering effect Discord.
It's a great place to talk to other fans of the podcast.
And the show's creators is also the only place you can vote for
block of the week. The votes have been very
closely. So stop on by and say hi.
I would love to see you there. All right, again, thanks for
stone figure for making the ad for us.
If you guys want to join the Discord, there will be a link
down in the show notes. Say the same thing every week.
Go ahead join the Discord, it's fun place to hang out and it is
and it's the only place you can vote for block of the week.
Segue, complete, boom. This week, the blocks you could
vote for for me and Jimbo to discuss where the furnace
beehive and composter composter. Composter words are home poster.
Tell us. See it.
The winner of block of the week this week is Furnace,
congratulations to you furnace. The votes were 27 for the
furnace 15 votes for the Beehive and five for the composter.
Wow, compost. You got blown away.
Few things on the furnace is made with eight Cobblestone or
black stone. Blocks found naturally in
villages and igloos smelts blocks and items.
Turning them into different blocks or items, its mind only
with a pickaxe and mitts a light level of 13 when activated and
is an immovable block, alright? The other thing I have to say so
far is you guys stink. You're voting for these on
purpose. You know it's extremely hard to
come up with improve. They literally improve the
furnace by making two new furnaces.
Yeah. And you can still voted for this
one. Honestly, I thought composter or
composter was going to win when Carl showed us.
Picks. But I knew in the back of my
mind, it was going to be the furnace.
I was thinking it would be beehive really you know.
I I don't think enough people play with the Beehive to want
the Beehive to change. Yeah, I was just thinking to
bother me because I don't like bees, that's sure to.
Yeah. So the fixes this is the thing.
I think Mojang whiffed. The hardest when they did the
blast furnace update is you can't smelts and in a blast
furnace. Just to make glass and that's
kind of how you make like glass vases and stuff like that is you
got to heat it up and a superhot smelting furnace machine
thingamajig words. I know there's real names for
this kind of stuff. But yeah.
So I always felt sand should have been in there and then I
was like, well, there's other stuff too, right?
I'd like to be able to smell Cobblestone into regular Stone
super quick. Can't see that a blast furnace.
Need doing stuff like this. Would kind of take away from the
furnace in general. And if you want something to
smell faster, you could always just make more furnaces.
That's kind of been the game rule to go by but Mojang broke
that rule when they made a smoker and a blast furnace.
So, I present to you guys The Brick furnace, who you get
bricks and by that I mean, smelting clay balls, craft it
into a furnace and The Brick furnace will do your sand
Cobblestone black. Gaston all that well Blackstone
you don't have to smell to make smooth, right?
It's just polished so used crafted.
Okay, mmm. So, yeah, like you're saying in
your Cobblestone if you want to make cracked brick, you can
throw it in there and all its doing is speeding up, just like
the blast furnace and smoker does not using less fuel, not
doing any of that stuff. I went ahead and I looked at a
lot of the modded section when it came to furnaces, and most of
that was just Efficiency of fuel would get changed, which I
didn't really understand, because Mojang does a pretty
good job with fuel efficiency as it is.
If you want. Super efficient for lots of
stuff, you get a lava bucket, you get blaze rods, kelp blocks,
I mean, all that different efficiencies, so that and all
has to do with speed and making things faster.
And I just go back to your game rule if you wanted to go faster
or make more of them. Hmm.
I thought a Brick furnace would be good.
I keep wanting to call it a brick oven.
But no, I don't want you cooking pizzas in Minecraft though.
It would be cool. Just saying, don't even have
pizza, Mojang? Would be really cool if I could
cook pizza in Minecraft? Yeah, we're gonna need pizza
first. Yeah, I don't care.
If it doesn't stack, that would be my number one food source it
would kind of be like a cake, you know, slices, exactly.
That's how I would see it. I would do that.
I do want to go back and look at a post from Jay, man.
His quest is sessions because he did have something a little cool
and creating A soul fire furnace and the Soul fire furnace were
produced more XP, but would also come with the possibility of I
think destroying an item that you have.
Go through it. Oh wait, no Abdi mentioned may
be destroying an item as a way to increase the XP.
You get from smelting. Yeah.
Some kind of a drawback. Yeah.
What was it? And yeah.
Jaemin's was about the faster smelt times so he says the soul
furnace could be crafted into Soul furnace Minecart.
So it travels Faster, on powered rails could pull up to five
Minecarts if any variety and has a dedicated GUI for impudent in
Computing, and putting fuel and possibly adding Minecarts pool.
I like that because it's giving more functionality to furnace
Minecarts. So that's really cool.
And I like omni's idea of. Hey, yeah, this one will give
you more XP but it has a chance of destroying any items you
smell. That being said, if you're doing
the furnace XP system, most We'll just trash the items
anyways. Yeah, so it's going to say so
it's not that big of a deal, but it could also be really cool to
have that as an option. Yeah, good job guys.
I don't have a real fix for it. I do want to mention that they,
they can be used in redstone machines, for like I mentioned
there, they are movable so they won't stick the Slime.
They the sticky pistons will push a remove them.
So, They can be useful in that way, as well.
Yeah, I can't remember. If it's still the thing.
You want to put over Hoppers like if you have a lot of
Hoppers, remember you used to put furnaces over top of it bomb
poster now? Composter?
Yeah. That would be your best lag
efficient. Okay.
Way to deal with it. Composter.
Yep, I see it all the time. I did furnaces on the item
sorter, because that's how I built it last time.
And I need to remember to go through and if you guys see from
the video that I'm still Even for using furnaces and I it
switched out to composers. Let me know because that's
something I need to do. And that's what I'm going to do.
Composter did did make it in the block of the week.
It's still mated. Sneaky sneaky block, all right?
But we don't have a lot of time left and we actually have a
decent sized topic. So this topic was inspired by
Helen Z. She's going to be on an episode
here soon. She supposed to be on.
I think was it last week? It was last week.
Yeah. And She had some stuff come up
so we had to restructure how we were going to do this stuff but
we're working on a new date and time.
So look forward to that. We still have all your questions
and stuff saved if you sit in question, so don't worry.
Yeah, but she tweeted out a Minecraft question of the day
asking for suggestions for structures to build and a one
chunk challenge. So me and Jimbo kind of took
this and we said, well, let's just look at Minecraft
structures in general. What structures would we improve
on? And then we are like, you know
what? Let's do the one chunk.
Just come up with a structure to build in the chunk.
So we're going to go over some improvements to existing
structures. We each chose to and then we're
going to talk about our one chunk stuff really quick so I'll
let you do your first one Jimbo. Okay.
Yeah. Because I'm messing with a swamp
cut. I pick swamp and I first thing I
would like to change is the look I would like I'd like to see
different variations in the wood to make it look more run.
Down more worn out feel I think a which would have that kind of
look. I don't know if you look at
which movies and stuff, you know, their their house is kinda
run down and beat up and I feel like that would be a cool
addition. I feel like a smokestack.
Maybe, you know, let off some smoke.
Oh yeah. I agree with that.
Just to know there's some activity going on in there
because there's always a witch in there.
When you first go some, maybe some terraforming to make it
look more. Rundown, I don't know.
I feel like the swamp was a biome that was going to be in
the update. So a swamp update is coming at
some point. It won't be the first one, but
it will come at some point in maybe, that's something they
look at. Yeah, yeah, be nice.
To get a different. Look at the swamp cut.
I like to call it a witch hut, but they're definitely called a
swamp. Cut went to look at it again
icon, which yeah, it was called a witch hut and loot you go in
there and there's just a cauldron and a crafting table,
what is it? A clay pot?
Pot and a flower. That's it.
That's all you get in there. It's really nothing to loot.
I was thinking they're probably should be a brewing stand in
there. I was going to say it.
There's not a brewing standard which I know that it's just
cauldron but a brewing stand would make sense.
Yeah. Maybe with some different
potions inside of there, you know look out that way and maybe
a chest with the chance of possibly getting an enchanted
book or yeah. Maybe some swamp items, you know
maybe some fine stuff. Of maybe a witch would have
maybe some Redstone Glowstone Dust.
Yes. Maybe some of the drops you can
find in that chest for sure. But I just feel like it's way
too empty. I understand the size of it
because, you know, the platforms are 7x9.
That's the spawning radius. So you don't want to go too much
bigger than that. People would take way too much
advantage of these farms in that case, but at, I feel like it
could use a new look and some more loot.
I 100% agree with everything. Then he said the different wood
variations. The only thing I would be on
edge because I want Mojang to keep with their, we want to make
a palette for you to extend on. So you kind of do what they did
with the villages. They upgraded The Villages
without doing too much. Mmm.
I think that would work also for you're saying different would
variations? Yeah, I'm thinking you're a man
like your put a stair here. So it kind of looks like part of
the woods broken a little bit. Yeah.
That's what I was thinking. Yeah, I think that would still
fit in there. Hey, we've upgraded - but where
did we haven't done it too much? We still want you to do stuff to
it. Mmm.
So mine, I chose that desert temple because I can't remember
the last time I've been in one. Seriously.
I can't remember at all. And it's probably one of the
dullest temples while I think it's also one of the
best-looking temples from the outside.
Yeah, they do have the best salute.
I would know, I can't remember the loot.
They comes in to certify. All you can get a variety of
things. I mean, there's Excuse me,
there's a for chess of different loot, you know, plus you get the
TNT so that dilutes pretty good. My Improvement of it.
I don't want to change the outside that much.
I think it could do with a little bit of updating maybe add
some more of the red Sandstone which is really orange.
I don't know why we're still calling it.
Red maybe add some of that maybe, add some of the smooth
variations that are in there. But other than that I think the
desert temple from the Side looks really cool.
So I wouldn't mess with it too much, but the inside, I want to
change the inside of it up a little bit, just it's so boring.
Everyone Knows by now, how to beat a desert temple.
This is the most purchased game in the world.
Everybody knows how to beat a desert temple.
Now, you're not going to have so many new people coming that are
just like and desert temple. I wonder what to do here.
Jump down the middle. Mmm, especially now you look at
the jump in any new players going.
Be like, oh, that's going to hurt.
I'm not going to jump down. I'm going to pillar down or
something like that. So changing the inside up a
little bit, maybe have the pit for one of them.
Maybe you have a dungeon in there and another maybe you have
a treasure throne and another doing stuff like that.
I think would be really nice and I think bastions have kind of
laid the groundwork for something like that to be able
to be done. Hmm.
I know the entire look of bastions change because it's all
kinds of procedurally generated. And things like that.
But I think you could do a lot on the inside of a desert
temple. Desert temples aren't that small
on the inside. They're actually pretty big.
So I think it gives enough space to be able to throw a lot of
different variations in there. Actually lived in one last
season. That was my main main fix was
just switch the inside up a little bit.
I'm okay with no new Mobs or anything like that though.
A mummy would be kind of cool in there but honestly I'm fine.
I'm with having it the way it is.
Just change the inside of a little bit.
Yeah. You can only get fooled once my
first time in there. I noticed that different-looking
block in the middle of the template on Segal.
Look at this. This one's looks different.
Hmm, wonder if I break it. What it'll do I fell down.
Hit the pressure Place. Blew up.
Yep that's only going to happen. One time, you know if you have
it seen it before. Yeah you're going to know next
time not to jump down that hole but yeah it's yeah.
Same thing over and over. That trap only gets you once.
What's your next structure? I choose the jungle temple.
Okay, I talked about this a little bit on a different
episode about a mob being in there.
I would like a new look to the jungle temple, all these
probably require a new look, it's been the same forever.
I'm thinking, maybe use the same blocks, but maybe make it look
more overgrown with leaves. The jungle is real thick,
there's a lot of vines and And I feel like it'd be cool if it was
a little more hidden under the leaves and just more overgrown
on the inside, I'd like to it be cool if we can extend it make it
bigger more like not as big as a mineshaft but kind of make
different tunnels to where there's traps and maybe a boss
at the end in the main treasure room in the boss.
I was thinking about would be a giant snake.
Yeah. Forget you Jimbo.
Yeah. Something to make you think
about going in there or not. Because usually you go in there.
You get the loot. You come out.
Yeah, the Trap again, get you once but it's not going to get
you the second time and it be cool if there is just different
traps. Not the same one every time I
hate snakes, they are my Nemesis most people do.
But let's also remember, you're putting a very curvy mob in a
very blocky game, mmm. But I think they could manage
it. It would be a giant one so
maybe. Yeah.
I don't know. Maybe you don't have the whole
snake maybe just like half of it.
Is coming out of the walls, you know.
And it's slithering around. I don't know.
But a giant snake sounds scary. I know people don't like them.
Oh, it does. They brought him bees?
They can bring in snakes. Bees are adorable.
You're just scared of them. Here's see real.
Be they that are they adorable? Yeah.
Are nice. It's the wasps in the Hornets.
You got to watch out for, hmm. Also be family is like cousins,
they're like cousins. Anyway.
That's, that's my jungle temple. Figure, that be cool to see a
little bit of changes with the temple.
My last structure I would improve is in the desert again,
and it's the well, it's a good one.
I felt that this was a structure that a lot of people forgot
about because it's extremely forgettable structure.
Mmm, there's nothing there but Water.
And I get it. It's a desert.
It's supposed to be cool that you find a well and a desert,
but it's Minecraft. If you need to find water in a
desert, walk for 10 more minutes, you'll probably hit a
river or an ocean. Yeah.
Right. There's water everywhere.
So, I suggest making Wells kind of like they do the ruined
portals that they have. Now, kind of like how they do
the underwater ruins. Hmm, stuff like that.
I think you should have Treasures hidden in the well
maybe like Joe said, maybe have a little bit of a mine shaft in
there with traps and such. Yeah, my first thought was like
the igloo, how you would go into an igloo and you rip up the
carpet and you might find the trapdoor.
Yeah so maybe you have that kind of randomization.
So not every will has a little treasure room or something like
that. Might be cool.
It'll just make it different. Yeah.
When you see a well you kind of you want to explore it.
Yeah. Like there's something there.
Hmm. But you know it's just Just the
water and every time I go to one not every time but before you
know I'm like there's got to be something else with this well
and I'm like digging around it and then realize it's just you
know it's just a well it's there's nothing really there.
Yeah that would be some really cool to upgrade the igloo to the
igloo. It's kind of I guess it's got a
good bit coin for it. Yeah, I don't mind the igloos
and like most of my fixes were very small implementations.
I know Mojang's working on updating.
Bye. All of a sudden they've got 117
coming, which we don't really know what that's about yet.
So I didn't want to say too much, I agree with all your
fixes because even your fixes aren't that big with jungle
temple for you. It's a was a little bit larger
than what I was saying for the desert temple but none of these
are crazy outlandish except for the giant snake Jimbo come on
really giant curved snake in Minecraft.
Yeah yeah giant curved snake. Yeah little things I think
Mojang does a good job. But once I understood why their
buildings and stuff, we're so simplistic, I very much, got it,
and I'm on board with the this is a blank canvas.
We kind of just put checkpoints for you to go to and visit.
Everything else is kind of up to you to create your own world and
I'm okay with that. I like that.
Hmm. So that's the theory.
I had when it came to building our own one chunk structure.
I'm going to let you go first on your structure and then I'll
finish up. What do you have my one chunks?
Structure would be a hidden bunker which should be also
known as like a safe haven. Mmm, just imagine, you know,
it's your first day and it's becoming nighttime you're new to
all this. You don't really know what to
do. It's just in that situation but
you come across the lantern, have a hanging Lantern there and
you're like oh what's this? And beneath the lantern, is a
trapdoor with the ladder entrance.
Probably about 20 blocks underground and it would
Contained, almost everything you need.
I'm thinking for double chests, a bed, a furnace and a few
crops, maybe even I was thinking enchantment table, but that
might be too much. Yeah, I don't know if you guys
can think of anything to go inside the safe haven.
I guess you call it a safe haven set of a hidden bunker?
Either way? I think that would be pretty
cool. It would even have, you know,
some things in the chest, like, Random loot, I'm thinking
depending on the force biome because I would like for it to
be in a forest more hidden, not out in the open in a plane's.
Maybe the lantern hangs from a tree.
Trying to think of other things to add to it.
Pretty much all I wrote down though, that's fine.
Like I said, we're a little long on time.
Well, depending on how much Carl has to, edit up motorcycle
noises, but here it on my one chunk challenge, I kind of
cheated. It a little bit and saying that
this might work better in near a village standing on its own,
might look a little weird, but I went to the Savannah area
because I don't think there's a lot going on in Savannah.
Yeah, we got Savannah villagers and all that kind of stuff, but
other than that, not much going on there.
And I went, what would be cool there that we don't have
anywhere else. So, like Tyga's cool.
Because you get the different rock, formations you have the
podzol And stuff. You have flowery biomes in the
plains just want, biomes kind of their own exposure, a station
things, while I fumbled that word so badly.
Don't judge. So I decided, what would look
really cool is a savannah garden and my process of my head would
be like, you're looking at a Vineyard.
So I know a Vineyard and a kind of a dry place is a little
weird, but Ian berry bushes may be mixed in with a couple dead
bushes. You have fence posts that could
be hooked up to pergolas because those are really easy and nice
to build with existing Minecraft blocks.
And it could easily fit in one chunk and I think that would be
really cool. It wouldn't really bring you any
loot or anything fancy but you'd have berry bushes where you
could get food and it would bring berry bushes into a
different biome. So that could be also cool.
Maybe a savannah berry bushes. Little bit different color tent
or something like that. But I thought it would look
really cool and a savanna biome in.
Bring more reason to go visit that area.
Yeah, it's almost like an oasis. Yeah inside.
Yeah. Like an oasis structure inside
of that that would be pretty cool.
Maybe even those could be randomly generated in a desert.
Yeah. Like an oasis type of deal
probably won't work as well and it is because I do picture grass
and stuff. There is So green.
Yeah but it could easily be thrown into a plains biome or
anything like that. I just wanted to another reason
to go visit a savanna. I think Savannah's I picked
Savannah for the biome update. It's one of my favorite biomes
but yet there's not a lot there. Kind of a dead area.
Be it Villages. You can find your village is
there. But that's, that's about it.
It's about it and I think that's going to do it for the show.
If you guys do have any structure.
So it's going to say, Snow in the Discord.
If you guys think of anyone chunks structures, I figured
Helen Angel was asking about these because they were maybe
brought that up in some way. Maybe they're thinking of new
structures to put in one chunk. So, yeah, run it by the Discord.
