Hey everyone. Welcome to the weathering
effect. Episode 57.
Today's date is August 10 2020 and I am Duds or Duds versus
known to the rest of you but interwebs and I'm Jimbo, you may
know me as Jimbo slice, 23. So, how's your week been so far
Duds? Good?
I'm kind of as you guys here. We're using a new microphone and
I'm worried because the way you use it it's got to be like right
up next your face and I'm like a breathing on it.
Like, is that going to get picked up?
Yeah, hopefully not. So the new Mike kind of been the
big thing all week and by all week, I mean, a whole week been
so many settings and filters and stuff to try to get it upright
and so like, if I figure it out in audacity it's like oh that's
great. I'll go do it in OBS.
Finally, figure out no BS, it's like hmm.
Okay. Now go do it in slobs.
Now, luckily OBS and slobs are basically identical so it's an
easy transfer, but then you go Discord.
Yeah. Well discords are in.
There are no filters. It's you have to hope somebody
else recognizes you sound funny and they turn me up on.
There's their end, that's a yeah.
Basically, if anyone's in a chat with me, go ahead and grab my
name, and click the volume, all the way to Two hundred percent
because that's the only way you're going to make it happen
on one of my videos you're in and yeah, I couldn't couldn't go
back and fix it. But yeah I adjusted it and you
guys won't have to worry about that.
You'll be able to hear em loud and clear good.
Yeah. So you have been playing with
some of that it's opened my eyes to a lot of different things and
a lot of things I'm going to be testing out on you when we
finish the show, okay? So like a lab rat.
You are going to be a lab rat was just going to ask what the
name of the Mike was sm58. Yeah I got an sm58 with a
focusrite Scarlett solo. Now I kind of don't recommend
this set up as much as I'm enjoying it so the USB interface
I was testing all this stuff out the determine what kind of mic
and stuff I wanted was a They inbox dual Channel, or dual
input or something like that. It has a pad button which
automatically lowers the decimal like 20 DB or lowers the sound
20 decibels whenever you push or engage that button.
The focusrite solo doesn't have a pad button that's like built
into it. So if you get focused right with
dual channels or I forget what they call.
It's like two eyes. Something to you get that
version. There's a pad button on there so
you can flick that on and off this version doesn't have the
pad button. Your kind of supposed to get a
preamp with it but I was cheap and didn't want to pay another
$100 for a part. Yeah, I've been having to do it
with filters. Still sounds good.
I think it still sounds good. I've got a couple preamps on my
little wish list. I'm just kind of waiting to see
if they go on sale and then I'll get one.
I'm not too worried about out. It audacity has great filters.
That really helped out OBS actually has really good filters
to this court does not. So the only place I sound bad is
Discord. But everywhere else I can make
up for not having the preamp. And I think it sounds pretty
good. Sounds good through Discord.
It was just a little. Oh yeah, I'm just quiet.
That's the big thing. I'm quiet everywhere.
Hmm. I found that if I just need 13.2
decibels, that's all I need. So I think I've looked at
getting in what they call an inline fat head, which adds like
20 decibels and takes up very little space.
Mmm. That's what I'm thinking about
getting but it that's like $89 or something like that.
So I'm just kind of waiting for that to go on sale.
It's like okay cool. Yeah.
Other than that, I worked on the Wither Skeleton farm with you
and Carl. That room looks so pretty.
Yeah, I really like the the inside inside looks great
outside. Not much to look at.
No, it's not. And I'm Giving you a lot of
credit for that room even though I'm the one that put most of the
blocks down. You saying, hey let's not make
it dark. Let's use dark blocks but make
it a bright room and you came in behind me and did a couple of
touch-up features that really stand out.
And I'm just like yeah, Jimbo is right this this is what this
room needed. It looks good.
I'd like to take credit but I was kind of just messing around
you know just like lets you know try this you know I was just
this is in between Tweet me and me doing the Redstone and me
just going through trying to help you out and change in
things. Probably I thought I was like
giving you a headache at one point coming through mess with
your design but it works definitely works.
Will see that first day when you and Carl will redoing all the
Redstone. It's like I'm watching where
you're putting things it. So I'm designing the room and
when Carl finally had his second drop tube done, I was like okay
I'm gonna do this this this and this is how the room is going to
look and I was done. Done.
But I still had to wait for you guys to finish.
So I was just like standing around the first day and the
second day I could finally get in there.
And really, the only thing I didn't know I was going to do
was the material for the roof or ceiling.
I know we had talked about the red nether brick, but I didn't
have any, luckily you were able to scrounge up enough to do the
ceiling and then the Warped block that is that is a very
versatile block. Yeah.
Basically all warped. Designs.
But yeah, you threw in some finishing touches some warped
fines or twisty, Vines, which by the way they are spawnable.
Are they when I was? But when I was down there for
like three hours the other day, Penguins only spawned twice, I
should tipping zombie. Pick lens spawned?
Yeah, I just ran over and killed them.
It wasn't. It was nothing like it would, it
would hurt to the spawn rate, very, very little.
I mean, there's a bunch of slab and we got to do still anyway.
So, So yeah, I wasn't sure. You know, I've just figured it
might look good, it does look good.
Yeah, so at least we got that he and I guess that the string
doesn't affect it at all. Hmm, spawns.
Now I see and that's the thing. Everyone keeps saying well
string will stop spawns. I've never known string to stop
spawns. Yeah, it wasn't sure.
I don't know if I've been wrong for like forever and this is a
thing but we need to have like a definitive test does string
stops. Because I don't think it does.
Hmm. Yeah.
It was definitely on a snapshot, we've never got the cover.
That's for sure. I could see string between
tripwire hooks stopping spawns but even then it doesn't because
that's how which Farms were made for the longest time.
Yeah. So no, it doesn't stop spots
just because of the witch hut. Yeah.
What have you been doing this week skeleton for Wither?
Skeleton water. Oh, really?
Yeah, I've worked on that with you and Carl.
Earl did a bunch of different replay mod you did and I loved
it because so, in my video you have the replay mod of me.
Tearing it all down. Yeah.
But your video, you have the replay mod of us.
Building it all back up. Mmm.
So that was very cool. Hey, kind of get both, mmm.
And I had the first time we put it up her nose.
The second time, I didn't do much recording of the first
time, because we weren't too happy with it in the first
place. I was like, I'm probably not
going to need this footage. Yeah, but we end up tearing it
down and rebuilding it. And I kept the replay mod up
and, and I did it with my second account.
I hit the second account into the floor to where replay mod
can pick up the whole area. I didn't have to stay there.
If I need to go get something, I can go get something, but, yeah,
it worked out great. That way, if you have a second
account, use your replay mod on that definitely planning on
doing that with my second account, besides a skeleton for
My kind of took a step back, I didn't record as much.
I started doing a little off camera stuff and kind of because
I have a big project coming up in my base.
I have a lot of digging to do. I have a massive base, I want to
build that I didn't want to make a massive base but it turned out
to be freaking massive. So ya gotta deal with that now
and doing things off camera, kind of passes the time a little
bit it well it kind of breaks up the monotony.
Honey. Yeah, instead of doing the same
thing over and over again. You know, you can go off like
I've been nether right. Mining get a bunch of nether
right now, just that I don't know just to do it just to have
it. Just in case I went and busting
by myself, I died, I did die. I'll probably mention that in
the episode and I searched forever for my stuff.
I knew exact kind of. Where was the house?
Like, okay, I'm out it like it was like positive, ten thousand
and three. And so I went out that way
couldn't find it. I talked it up is gone.
I was a man, you know, that's never write stuff.
I have backup stuff that I can make nether right, no problem
but uh on my way back, boom, there it was I actually landed.
I was like I better get more Rockets, I landed look to my
left and there's the XP, orbs nine, there's all my stuff, I
was like, you gotta be kidding me.
It's right there. So I end up finding it.
It was a couple thousand blocks short of what I thought and Yeah
I got my stuff back so that's cool.
Nice. Yeah besides that, I'm thinking
of doing, you know, one episode a week now so net down due to an
episode of week. It really focus on the editing
and stuff. We talked a little bit about
that in the pre-show about editing our videos.
Yeah, I just I want to get more experience on that even though
you know, I'm doing it twice a week, I'm still trying to put
out quality videos and I feel like I could I could do a little
better if I could go down to once a week.
And also Also break up the monotony as well.
Yeah, it's probably how it's going to give for now and that
ends my week, I'd say awesome, well touching back on the whole
death or whatever. So I continued my streak of
dying on livestreams. Yeah, we have, I'm not blaming
this one fully on me though. Half of it, because I decided to
try to fly in the nether without my light ra.
So I just fell into the lava. Hmm.
But I stayed Common collected, grab my light ra put it on flew
out was heading to land so I could go ahead and eat real
quick and then it lagged me back into the lava where I then
proceeded to freak out and by the time I was able to rock it
out of the lava and switch over to my food, I was dead.
Yeah, I was trying to point myself at a good spot to land
and then I was trying to eat and I ended up dying.
I only lost my light ra and my ass.
Ax, and I lost the X because even though neither right items
float, they do not float very well.
Yeah, Carl sent me the pic, he had his camera count in the area
and he sent me the picture of where the axe was.
The only problem was, Carl, had his camera count in the area, so
I was trying to run back into the area and I missed it by like
half a second. But then again, if it wasn't for
Carl's camera count, I would have never known where to look
for it because just the tip of the ax was poking at The lava,
another right? Item should float just a little
bit better? Please a little bit higher, but
it definitely Justified getting nether items for me because I
don't like carrying around potions, which is a have it.
I'm probably going to need to break if I'm going to continue
to die in another, I have not died anywhere else in the world
other than the nether except for maybe one time in the end but
that was like one of those. I'm not going to look for an
import on just going to jump off the edge and die.
Kind of things. Yeah, I have yet to die in the
Overworld. Just another.
Yeah. And that might be.
Why you got the whole nether, right?
Is immune to Lava thing because they know how much you're going
to be in the nether with the update, you know?
So they give you that. If you put this on it will
survive lava besides that you know it hasn't been too much of
a hasn't been all that great I guess.
I mean my diamond stuff was just as good.
You don't get knocked back. Her knock-back resistance.
I think you get blast resistance to some what?
I don't know. It's a lie, I can't remember.
But yeah, I mean I don't wear the chest plate, so I don't
maybe it's maybe it's really good for fighting if you're
fully geared up, but I always have my wings on.
I don't worry the chest plate either because I wear a golden
chest plate, because you have to wear gold and another now,
because you never know when the pig lens gonna sneak up behind
you and attack you, which happens a good bit.
It. I've had a Hoglund sneak out,
probably more than big ones. Actually, I have boots.
I have to switch out. I mean I have a Ender Chest that
keep on me and it's right there. My inner chest, I don't put it
in a shocker box. It's one of those things you
have to get out real quick. Yeah, I put my boots in there.
What my fortune pick, that's about it.
I carry my chest plate on me at all times.
Kind of like a shield. Hmm, I'm hurting for that end.
That inventory spot back. That's I keep my chest plate.
My inner chest to right there to where it's accessible by ever
need it. I mean, I've been going in and
out of the nether so often it's kind of like, I don't want to
keep breaking out an Ender Chest.
Every time I eat a travel, be if I put my gold boots on their
Frost Walker, I don't take them off for it forever.
Until I notice, even when I notice, I'm like, I'm good, not
a big deal, just keep moving. One of the last things I want to
talk about this week is so I've started my base design, okay?
And I ran into Into a stumbling block from the get-go.
So everyone knows by. Now, I'm building Islands or
mountains out of islands. Hmm, which sounds really cool
until you realize you have to build a mountain that doesn't
naturally generate in Minecraft. That I've never actually built
before and I'm looking at the size of these islands, I go,
well, that's a little bit bigger, nothing and the one
that's going to As a storage room is weirdly shaped.
So I've decided to break it up and have one medium sized Island
and then another or not Island, I keep calling him Island,
medium sized mountain. And then next to it is going to
be a small like Spire Mountain. So it's just basically going to
be a giant Stone Spike. Yeah, and I got that inspiration
because I went back to hermitcraft season six.
I remembered scar built pirate islands that season.
As a starting base. Yeah, so I think in that must
have been in the back of my mind when I had decided to do this
and I was like, oh, I can just go look at his and he's got tons
of spires sticking out. It's like well I don't want to
do that but maybe putting one right here would actually look
pretty cool. Yeah, it's very terraforming
extensive. Ya doing mountains, especially
the way scar did them. He's a you know he's on another
level that's for sure. Yeah.
And if you're At what he does and what mine is going to be,
they're not going to be close to looking the same, but his builds
were very good spot to start getting inspiration.
Like oh, I can do this this because I also had planned on
putting buildings on the surface or the face of the mountains.
Hmm but mine aren't going to be like houses and stuff like that.
My plan was to use like I don't know.
Boats like a boat washed up to shore on this.
And so they just turned it into a house or a store or something
like that. And I was going to have a nice
like Boardwalk, or docx or whatever, wrapping around the
mountain and stuff like that. Have you ever seen Austin Powers
a long time ago? Where dr.
Evil has his volcano Lair and it's like a giant Stone Face on
the side of the volcano Mountain.
Hmm you should do that, put your face on the side of it.
Maybe not I actually consider that for my prismarine Mountain
as I do I do like a doctor evil type of thing putting a giant
skull on the front of one of these bounds because there's
going to be like three of them. Yeah might actually be cool.
It's a pirate theme. Yeah.
Should we go ahead and move on to the nurse?
Yeah, let's do it. All right, so One 16.2 release
candidate one, we're kind of lumping in some of the previous
stuff, like pre-release to and stuff like that because there
are only two new things of information.
You kind of need to know. One is resource and data pack
version has been raised to 6. I'm not sure what kind of effect
that's going to have all my texture packs, basically, or
resource pack say that they're out of version, but they still
work. So I don't mess with them and
crimson and word roots. No longer requires shears.
When mind which never thought, yeah, they needed it.
Both me and Jimbo said, shouldn't I say they Do require
shoes because we're both on their impression that you
haven't eaten them before in granted.
We could be wrong. Maybe it's something else were
thinking of. Yeah.
But that's literally word for word.
What it said in the notes sheet. So I wrote down, yeah, you copy
and paste it. That's what it says, you can no
longer it, no longer requires shears, which it never really
did. I hit it with my hand and I can
grab warp roots and Crimson roots or whatever.
So yeah, maybe they need maybe they mean Uni cheers to do that
now. Maybe it was just the bug before
which I think I think someone mentioned that I don't know.
I want to say Exuma when I watch one of his videos, I don't see
why they would change it and change it back, but I'm pretty
sure you need cheers. Now, at least with you know, one
16.2 maybe you have special cheer fists you like Edward
Scissorhands. But Jimbo Scissorhands, that'd
be cool. I want that.
Be like Freddy Krueger in the nether, you're gonna have create
your own Freddy, Krueger skin. Now aren't you what you already
have it that bee sting skin scares the crap, out of
everyone? Yeah, there's bees man.
Can't seem to get past without getting stung.
Besides that news, you guys should be playing one 16.2 as of
right now, because it came out yesterday.
By the time this comes out, it would be Tuesday.
And Tuesday, is when it Releases, which is tomorrow for
us. We're probably not going to
update, ripple effect for at least a little bit because we
always go through a testing period before we upgrade and
give it a week or so, see how people react to it, if it seems
stable, a lot of times, we'll go off of bigger servers.
You know, they update its, you know, it feels good enough to
update if they were to but it also means we have an OptiFine
update. This was tweeted out today.
Monday OptiFine is now at Zero percent for one 16.2.
Oh, yeah. They're they're they're waiting
for the update before they start working on it.
Understandable. Yep.
That would be the same with replay mod, which is a bummer,
but any bugs? No, bugs are bugs here.
Look through the list. They fixed a lot of bugs, but
none of them were really worth talking about their kind of,
okay, that got fixed cool. A lot of weird game crashed.
If you don't know killed, a skeleton, writing a Strider that
just so happened. To be riding a guardian.
It's like Well, yeah, if I'm the game and I see that I'm crashing
to. Yeah.
Don't know what the think. The one bug that I am really,
really passionate about fixing. Is that boat the boats are they
don't work boats, don't work. Yeah.
You get in a boat, you're good, you're smooth sailing.
But as soon as you go to get out of a boat man, your glitch in,
you got to figure out what to do, either break the boat or
Back in it because you're not jumping out of it, once you're
stuck in that, mmm, Vortex. I don't know.
It's weird. Please fix the boat thing and it
might be, might be fixed in the new release and goes blocks.
I have found. The best way to depart a boat is
to run the boat into a solid block.
And then, as you're shifting to get out of the boat jump, and
push forward, and it's got to be a real quick motion, but I found
that works. So like if you looked at my A
dock at the beginning of the season, the lower section for
you to hop out on, I ended up making that a full block, even
though it looked bad just to help people get in and out of
their boats. But now that everyone's kind of
moved away from Spawn town, I went back and I change the dock
to use a half slab. Like I originally wanted just
because me and Carl, really the only ones there?
I'm moving at a spawn town and Carl uses the frost Walker boots
down instead of a boat. So yeah, use Force Walker to
screw. His boots, he get across.
What? I'll fly or Frost Walker.
Hmm, But the the ghost block thing, that that's an easy fix.
Now, if you just right-click on the Block where you think it is,
it'll appear. So, it's not.
Yeah. Technically there.
I mean, you can, you can get around it that way.
The way I've been finding it is I choose a random block that I
know, isn't there? And I try to place it.
Mmm. And usually something will freak
out and the right block will pop up.
Yep. Like okay, there it is break.
Mmm, but I haven't had a ton of ghost blocks' season.
I think I've had maybe one or two.
I've had quite a few had to be a dozen.
You are digging a huge area so you would run into them.
Yeah. About to start using TNT.
Yeah. All right.
That's kind of it. For the news.
Should we get into Lister comments?
Yeah, it's good. Get to that.
Alright, this week's listener comments.
I surprises from Rebel JC Rebel man.
You seem to be super active and a Discord and we appreciate it.
Great question by the way. Yeah.
He asks what is an area? Minecraft Gameplay.
You don't engage in much and what would it take for you to be
more interested in it? PVP is the main one.
Do you know? It could be fun.
Like uh he uh sees I think I'm saying that right teams.
Those look, those look really fun but there's just, I don't
know. The combat and everything.
I know they're working on that and we'll get into that later.
But yeah, PVP isn't on a something.
I'm more of an artsy person so I kind of steer away from that.
Yeah, I've got two and the first one is a knock on Minecraft.
It's more knock on me like large Farms such as an ocean Monument.
Order. Which form, even though the
which Farm itself is small, it's the lighting up and doing the
non spawnable spots, that's really kind of a pain, SPO
improve it. Yeah.
Those turn me off and it's not a knock on Minecraft.
It's just that I have maybe an hour and a half on a weekday to
really play. So to do one of those will take
multiple weeks to build. So, and the fact that when I'm
designing a base, if I'm making a farm That large generally my
entire base design is probably going to revolve around that
farm. And yeah I'm not a fan of that
kind of handicaps me which Farm might be a little different
because the farm itself is relatively small and you can do
a lot with the perimeter so that's not that big of a deal
working with water, just stinks. If K above it, you won't have to
do two months. Yeah.
Spawn proofing. Yeah.
But now you have this like Warm above your base, that's randomly
there. Yeah, you have to either make
that look good or find another AFK area, which I have one in
mind. The other thing is just mini
games in general, and I know some people from the Discord
going to get mad because they've been pushing me, and you to play
many games with them, like, Bed Wars and stuff.
And it says, as soon as I can see, I don't like playing as
either. That's one of the, you know, the
PVC CPU things that I'm not a fan of I wouldn't mind trying it
though. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I
don't know what it would take for me to do it.
I know what everybody if I'm just in the mood, but I'm going
to say I'm going to start with this.
I don't like mini games because other games do many games better
and I get many games are basically community-created, and
that's awesome. I think that's great.
That people who are playing this game.
Have the Ingenuity to think of stuff like that.
But like you have what the new Game that a lot of people are
playing Fall. Guys, let me that's basically
mini games but it's done to such a great level.
It's really fun like I'm thinking about buying it and
once a week doing random fun games like that with friends.
So I have a proposition for you almost as big as the BET from
earlier this year. Oh so okay right now we're
sitting at just over 30,000 listens, right?
Yeah yeah so what if we can hit 50,000 listens me, you Carl,
decoy, whatever. We'll get together.
We'll find a day that works for all of us, and we'll play many
games with the Discord community.
That sounds cool couple hours. One day playing minigames, maybe
stream it, maybe stream it. I know some of the people in the
Discord when they do their mini games, they like to stream it.
So we can maybe jumping to chat & Stream.
That'd be? Yeah, I'm down for that.
I'd be willing to do that. But that being said, until we
hit the 50,000, don't keep a screenplay Bed Wars because I'm
not gonna play bit worse. I stink at Bed Ward's.
I stink at PVP sink at all. That I really kind of want to
play missile wars. I saw that many game.
That's pretty much the only Minecraft Mini-Game that's kind
of piqued my interest. I haven't seen that or if you
want to count, Zoom avoids, standoff, game he made in.
Hermitcraft the season. Yeah, that game looks really
cool to me, and I thought about recreating it on ripple effect,
just because it looks so fun. Pretty clever.
Yeah, it's almost like a battleship /.
Chess type of deal. Yeah, exactly.
Pretty cool. Besides a, you know, the PVP PVP
thing for me. I do want to get into like
command blocks and creative like just just working with creative
a lot. I don't, I don't know.
Much of the commands. Yes, I'm here to, you know,
clear out big areas and you know, replace blocks with other
blocks. I don't know those commands,
well enough and that's something I would like to.
I like to try, I do approve course, it has to go through
tutorial or some but yeah, I never really touched up on that
much same. At one point I was trying to
make a very scripted episode. It was kind of Star Wars based
And required. Lots of green screen work.
Basically think of Rin, dog from hermitcraft.
Hmm. And as I was designing sets and
pieces and stuff. The new hermit crab season
started and Rin, dog started doing Star Wars.
Type scenes and his episodes. I was like oh that's cool.
That'll fit really well and then he kept doing it.
So I was like, oh I can't I don't want to do my episode now
because it's going to feel like I'm just copying and he does it
so well. You like Gigi's friend, dog for
that? Yeah, it's very good editing.
He's one of them guys. It's like, this is what I wanted
to look like and he capitalized on it, like he he flourishes in
those type of deal. See how it if he can.
If he wants it to look like a certain way, that's the way it's
going to look and he's really good at replicating, it onto the
screen. Yeah, really good.
There's times, like, I'm in. Like, for instance, This Witch
Hunt thing, I have to build a witch hut and I I want to do it
with my own. Redstone knowledge.
Do not look at it tutorial. So in order for me to do that, I
have to find a witch hut in another world to mess with and
I'd have to clear out land and stuff.
And have you ever tried to mine? A block in Creative?
It's not like insta. Mine.
Yeah, you know it's one after another I just want to be able
to be you know just to remove the blocks I want to remove
Instead of having to take him out like that, that that's what
I'm talking about. With the whole man thing.
You can still give yourself the haste to affect or a diamond
pickaxe with like efficiency 10c.
I don't, I don't know how to do it.
Don't worry. I don't either have to look it
up every time. I do something like that.
Yeah. See, that's something like that.
I like to get familiar with it. Helps with the overall gameplay,
I mean for me to put out an episode, I have a lot of stuff
to do in that could just knock a bunch of Of time off.
Yeah. If I ever have to do that talk
to Avi, he was helping me out with my green screen stuff.
He probably knows. Yeah.
Different commands or Q magnets. Probably listening screaming at
us because he's all about some commands.
Oh he knows he knows his command block.
He knows all the commands. Hmm.
He's like, why are you even bothering to in Redstone command
blocks? Yeah he doesn't even do
redstone, he can't do redstone but he'll slap a command on
there. And mmm, do whatever, do
whatever he wants. But let's go ahead and move on
because this shows actually taking well I say it's taking a
while Carl's probably going to look at it and go guys, I edited
out like 30 minutes of stuff. Fair enough.
Yeah but yeah this week's disc or dad is from yd y t.
So thanks again. Why did he take it away?
Hey everyone. I'm Whitey Whitey and I'm a
member of the weathering effect Discord.
It's a great place to hang out with fellow lister's like me and
the people who work on the show strong today and let's discuss
game. We love, there are links in the
show notes. All right, thanks Whitey, going
back to Discord this week on Discord.
We asked you guys to vote for these blocks for block of the
week. If your choices were
cartography, table, repeater, and campfire, and the winner of
block of the week. This week is repeater.
Congratulations, repeater, you guys are a bunch of jerks always
seem to congratulate 8 the block.
Yeah. What did that block do to win?
Jim it got it. Got the most votes and it got 22
votes for the repeater cartography.
Table had 17, campfire with 15, a few things about the repeater.
Before we see how you change it, good luck with that.
And it's crafted with two Redstone torches one, Redstone
Dust and three stone blocks. It can be found naturally in
Jungle. Which is the main loot.
It used in Redstone Circuits to repeat Redstone signals back to
full strength delay, signals prevent signal moving backwards
and to lock signals in one state and it can be mind instantly
with anything with your hand. Any tool it can be mined, and
that's it. Yeah, not much more than that.
So that brings me to the difficult task of trying to
improve the repeater, which I can't.
I Can't do it. The repeater might be one of
those redstone blocks. I actually know how to use and
know about the Locking function and use the Locking function
when needed and stuff. My biggest complaint about the
repeater, well, other than the fact that you use a full stone
block to craft it, even though you can definitely tell that you
were supposed to be smooth slabs.
At one point, I think it actually was smooth slabs at one
point and they change the crafting recipe.
By is that they call it a repeater but it doesn't repeat.
It does act like a diode. If you're familiar with
electrical circuits, where it lets power flow one way, but not
back on itself, which is great. I think that's awesome.
And the fact that you can delay a tick to a certain amount
again, awesome, the fact that you can lock it on or off you
can it doesn't have to lock in the on position, it can lock
both ways which is great. But the repeating part, Art it
doesn't repeat anything. If anything it's just an
amplifier or a boost because the second Redstone touches a
repeater, it immediately goes to the power level 15.
So it's a little bit confusing in the fact that if I hear well,
it's a repeater, I would assume that whatever power level is
going into the repeater would be repeated out of the repeater.
I don't really think you'd have much use for that, some Redstone
wizard might be like oh yeah you can use that here here and here
at noon, Maybe or you guys might be like Duds.
There's no reason for that, stop touching repeaters.
But yeah, to me a repeater, is more of a diode amplifier than a
repeater. So the only thing I would change
about a repeaters really, its name and crafting recipe.
Now, you know, you can, you can change like the ticks on it.
Yeah. Which can help sometimes,
especially on servers. Oh yeah, I would definitely not
change the delay factor. I think that's one of the best
parts about repeaters. The fact that you In change the
tick delay and I didn't really have a change.
But maybe something to think about because it because we've
got another right, you know? You and it's the best block,
maybe throw that into the recipe and make the repeater have a
bigger signal may be a signal of 30, instead of 15.
That's the only thing I can really throw out there.
Because you're right, it's very hard to mess with the repeater
because it's it's so useful. Yeah.
I mean, it's the gold standard for Redstone.
I know a lot of people are like comparator, but the compare
such, it's the comparators, not the beginners component, you
have pistons, and you have repeaters, I think people
learning Redstone can kind of figure out what those guys do
early on. Hmm.
Yeah, I mean, that's all I got with the repeater.
I mean it can be used for like, I don't know, aesthetic reasons.
Also, you know, people like to put them in like, on a
laboratory settings, or Spaceship settings stuff like
that. But functionality, you know,
it's kind of hard to kind of hard to change.
All right, let's move into our main topic this week, which
probably should have been covered under the news, but it
worked better for main topic and that's we're going to cover the
combat update their on like version 6, how.
And there are a couple of significant changes worthy of
talking about. So what I'm going to do is I
pulled up Jeb's post on Reddit if you guys want to find that
Carl should Posted in the links, which I think he mentioned to me
that spotify's show notes will hopefully get fixed and you will
be able to read them a little bit easier.
You guys want to pull them up and follow along.
We're just going to go Section by section.
So, the first section is redesigned.
Aim assist again, different approach less controversial.
So, one of the big things they did was removed coyote time,
which was this weird thing where you were able to hit an object
that you had previously looked at.
So you could look at something whip your head to the side real
quick and then swing and it would still hit that previous
object. You were looking at that you are
no longer looking at Ya. The big thing with that is it
was to help with entities that were smaller than the size of a
normal block like rabbits. But if you guys watch me try to
kill a rabbit or a bat that doesn't help.
It made it worse. So now what they've done is the
bounding boxes for entity smaller than .9 of a block have
been enlarged. So it's a little bit easier to
hit those things. Yeah.
I got to see that very helpful. You don't, you don't need
sweeping Edge. Yeah, all swords now have the
sweeping attack, but obviously sweeping Edge.
Enchantment means that even though you swept all the enemies
sweeping Edge means all those Enemies got hurt whereas even
though you swept them without the sweeping Edge, I think only
one enemy takes the brunt force of that attack.
Yeah. Or you know the damage is and
its large for the ones that are swept.
Yeah. I think they get the full, the
full effect with the sweeping Edge, enchantment.
And the base reach was increased from 2.5 to 3 blocks.
Oh yeah. So that's a pretty big one.
Hmm. That could be helpful, they have
changes to Shields Shields not only protect up to five damage
for melee attacks still 100% against projectiles and shields
recover faster after an attack. This one kind of worries me.
So like if you have a shield and someone swings a sword at you,
it's not going to fully protect you.
Yeah, for melee. Now if you crouch it
automatically Shields you. So that's a that's a plus,
right? Unless you crouching and someone
comes at you with an axe. With a cleaving on it.
Now, which going to change has two axes, they renamed chopping
to cleaving which basically disables your shield from what I
can tell and really hits hard. Well, they've removed a couple
weapon enchantments from the axe in the enchanting table, so like
I think sharpness. Mmm.
You could get on an accident. The enchanting table.
You now can't, you can still add it to the X with a book, I
believe. But yeah, kanna-chan for it
though. Yeah.
It that or the sword. Yeah, we'll get those.
Yeah, I think it's more common to get cleaving but even then
cleaving is a rare and chairman. Yeah, like being event
arthropods was its might and sharpness.
Yeah. You're not going to be able to
enchant for them. You either have to have books.
Maybe you can enchant a book to sharpness.
I don't see why you couldn't. Yeah.
You can still do that. Yeah, but not on the tool
itself, or if you trade for sharpness, with the village or
you still add it to the X. Now, they don't mention whether
or not if you have Leaving that disabled sharpness.
I don't know. You know how mending in Infinity
for a bow. They don't have any we're saying
that that happens. So, yeah, even sharpness.
Smite and benefit anthropods arthropods are anthropods.
I was called author pots at the axe, a arthropods.
Well, is there an are? That would settle it?
Anyways. Yeah, you can't put any of those
three together. So if cleaving is in that
category, then you probably shouldn't.
Yeah. I don't think it'd be Available
for the sword, right? Just the ax.
Yeah, as far as I know, it's just Yaks.
Okay? I don't know if you can cleave
with a sword. Yeah, I went through the
previous updates, just to see if there was anything that was
important in there. And while there were changes,
they were more changes to, like, your attack time is increased or
decreased kind of flopping. Back for trying to find The
Sweet Spot. A lot of changes have happened
to eating, which we'll cover in a second, but another big change
is to be Bose. Yeah they're kind of nerfing
bows a little bit and making crossbows a more viable weapon.
I'm not sure if I'm a fan of it like I am but I'm not I've
always gone with the thought process.
Don't ever take anything away from the player add-on and right
now the changes to Bose. What it is is when you pull an
arrow back or not Janeiro in your bow and you hold it the
longer you hold it, the more in a Create your shot is going to
be now. Is that like wildly in Iraq or
inaccurate where you could be pointing at a block?
You fire it. And it goes like 20 blocks in
the other direction. It's not like that.
Hmm, and it totally makes sense. Like if you're an Archer and
you're holding an arrow back in your holding it and holding it,
your arms are going to get tired.
Yep. That's why they have the special
clip on there now. That's for compound bows.
Yeah. I used a traditional bow and
when I anchor anchors, when you hold back and Stop and when I'm
anchoring. You know, it's that's a lot of
weight. I'm pulling.
Yeah. You know if I hold that for so
long, I will shake a little bit. So you want to let go before,
you know, you you're just you're holding all that weight.
Yeah. So it does make sense makes
totally sense. The, my only downfall is, you're
taking away something from a player but at the same time, if
you're a player that doesn't use a bow regularly and you're okay
taking the time to what is its knocking Arrow, right?
Is it not Janeiro? We call it knock.
So, if you're okay taking the time across boat doesn't have
that problem. Mmm.
So using the crossbow now, you will have your accuracy the
entire time and I think they do shoot like I think the
randomness because you know if you hold an arrow at the same
spot and you fire over and over again, it's still randomizes.
I think that's actually been taken down a little bit so it's
a lot tighter clumping. Hmm.
So for the crossbow. Yeah, for the cross.
Bo it may be for the arrow to other than that.
A lot, a lot of other stuff has kind of happened like so for
thrown projectiles, they now consider player momentum.
So if you're running forward good and you throw a snowball
that snowball is now going to travel further than it did
before or supposed to videos. I've seen it hasn't really
worked or hasn't been enough of a difference to tell ya.
It's looking for an example to really, you know the example
they gave them like that. So Too much of a difference.
It would have definitely helped in that mini game.
We talked about. Yeah, but the big changes to
food and hugger. They reverted the eating time to
32 ticks. I think it was at like, 28, at
one point. So now it is back to taking a
little bit longer. If someone hits you while you're
trying to eat it interrupts the eating, you cannot continue to
eat through that which makes sense to me, your natural
healing is Faster than it was. It used to take three seconds
for a full heart. I think.
Now it takes two, hmm, your natural healing, draids, food
50% slower. So you won't have to eat as
much. They've reintroduced the rule
that sprinting now requires more than six points of food.
So I don't know if that was like, six of those turkey legs,
or if it's still three. Yeah, I don't know.
I want to say, also saturations gone really the argument that go
and carry. So the best food because of
saturation, I think that's it. I think they're pretty much even
with everything else. So it's now going to come back
to which food gives you the most hunger bar back, golden carrots
is still up there. Yeah, but now is this this will
be in the 1.16 point to know release will it?
This is just a pre-release of the combat.
The combat is I totally completely different thing.
Yeah, it's going to stay out of the game until Jeb feels.
It's ready to go into the game and they have no release time
period for it. So yeah, it's not on your
launcher. Anything.
You can't get it with like you. Like you would the snapshot.
Mmm. Yeah.
So there's a lot of adjustments to do.
They can still just a lot of things.
Oh, yeah, and they're listening. So definitely send messages.
I think he's reading a lot of the comments on the Reddit.
That's where you can get the download.
If you're wanting to test it, he gives you the instructions on
how to do it and It's just Java. Yes, far as I can tell, it's
just Java, okay, yeah, I mean, it looks, it looks cool, it
looks like they're actually, you know, looking ahead.
I mean, people are asking for a combat update and then you hear
Cabe update and then year-end update, you know, maybe they're
trying to do them all little by little, you know, that's pretty.
It's pretty cool to see the big thing that I've enjoyed is.
So you remember 1.9 when they did the combat update to where
it's at now. Hmm, Like all the PVP people
just like raised Cain because it was such a dramatic change.
Now, I like the change, but I can see where people who were
used to the old PVP, PVP style. Didn't I feel that what Jeb is
working on now is very much a happy medium because they're
bringing back the quick strikes with the sword.
You can continue to do that. It's just not as effective, you
can do the charge up a whole down and critical hit and all
that kind of stuff and acts as a viable weapon.
Hmm. I really wish they would make
the Trident a viable weapon. Yeah, it does affect more mobs.
Now if the mobs are in water so you know how like tried it
really didn't affect drown. It was really only good against
Guardians. Hmm.
Now it's pretty good against round two but it's like I want
to, I'm not in the water that much.
I want to have a trident as a main kind of weapon, that would
be awesome. If someone's close range, make
me be able to do a quick attack in stab them.
Like it's a sphere and if I charge up it throws it lifts
them up in the air on your Trident.
Yeah. Throw him off of the Trident.
Yeah, give us that. Yeah, that would be cool.
Everything just impale them. Yeah, everything I see from the
combat update. I really like and as someone who
doesn't like BBB that kind of makes me excited, you've seen
the videos and stuff about it. Are you excited for this kind of
update? Oh yeah.
Yeah. I mean and it all makes sense,
you know? Like with the bow thing I think
they did Nerf sweeping Edge. Yes, the damage did go down a
little bit, but you still get that, you know, the extra hitbox
size to where you could still hit your enemy a little bit
easier. Yeah, I can't wait to play with
it. I think, I think they're doing
really good with the upgrade. Hey, that's kind of it gone.
Everything. Hopefully, with all the issues,
we've had this episode Carl's, able to make a sound pretty it
doesn't sound as terrible as it has been before we go.
I want to mention that we have a special guest next week.
