Everyone, welcome to the weathering effect episode 131.
Today's date is February 13th, 2022.
And I am Duds or judge versus known to the rest of the
interwebs now, I'm Jimbo. You may know me as Jimbo slice
23. So what have you been up to this
week? Dad's lot of stuff and not a lot
of stuff at the say Minecraft wise.
I've been building a sugarcane farm a super simple.
Take one. Nothing crazy.
Mmm. It's honestly, it mainly just a
visual form where my Cactus storage area is from the episode
releases week. There's a little side section
that had like a lava pool and I filled in the little lava pool
and put in like a seven sugarcane farm, so it's not
going to be hyper efficient by any means, but it'll do the job.
I'm always in the area. So it's always constantly
loaded. So that's good.
Do you mainly need it for Rockets or no?
Just I'm going to have a bigger trading whole coming.
I keep talking about this. Originally, the trader whole
idea. I was going to build it like
episode 2 or 3, but everyone else kind of jumped on villagers
and doing books and stuff. So I was like, it's not
important to the server right now.
Everyone's able to get their books, a certain way.
So I'll just do my Village Training hall whenever I kind of
feel like it. Hmm.
I don't have to rush it, right? So, It's for the paper to trade
villagers and stuff. Yeah, nice to have your own
Rockets. Apply to you need paper fit.
That's sure to but I would need a creeper Farm.
Yeah, and I don't know how I would do that in my area.
I'd like to have my own TNT gunpowder rocket manufacturing
area, that'd be nice. Hmm.
Yeah, so I did a sugarcane farm and the big thing was working on
a cinematic with would tear. You watched my previous
episodes. You guys know, I had a meet up
with winter. He gave me my explorers hat and
in exchange for the Explorers hat.
I was to go out and find him items and bring them back to
him. That's how the deal works.
So we had our first Meetup of the first item to go get and Not
only was it a three-minute clip that took 45 minutes to edit
because I like doing this thing where I pop in and out with the
replay mod. Yeah, I've seen it.
I think I go. Yeah, I go in and out the replay
mod can like three times in this episode or in this three-minute
clip, which isn't a lot because each time it's only about 30
seconds long, but I am so nitpicky.
I have to get the footage to line up.
Exactly. So the head movements are doing
exactly what they're doing. When I overlap the revetment
footage. Yep.
I'm like I'd it doesn't need to be this picky.
The mouse are not moving. No one can tell.
That what's being said, is, what's being said, right?
I had that issue. Sometimes it does make a big
difference. So just as so many s of a replay
mod in back to, like your regular view.
Mmm, it does make a big difference.
Yeah, so I've got that going on. There's also another two minute
clip. That's going to go a long with
that clip that I've been prepping for.
Basically. I designed a whole new skin last
night. Just just for this.
To two minute clip that's going to go.
Yeah, I get to see it. I had to do a little build and
creative world that I've got a transfer over and yeah, I, I'm
excited. I'm definitely channeling all
the little gags. You do in your episodes to try
to make this funny for sure. It's nerve-racking because I'm
like, I'm spending all this time.
Doing like five minutes worth of footage.
I'm like, Days behind on this video now because of this, I'm
not building anything. It's worrisome if that makes
sense. Yeah.
I mean, it's long as it looks good long as it is what you want
it to be, you know? Yeah, definitely take your time.
That's the thing. It's got to look good.
But other than that, I've got some planning being done with
Carl on a blaze farm. Trying to grab some materials
and stuff that we might use for that, and he actually has my
nether tunnel. Get up to the top north, south
east west to the hub. I saw it.
So I'm working on designing, my actual tunnel tunnel.
Yeah, good thing. I don't have a tunnel.
I just have to decorate like Mike entrance.
Yeah, pretty much got like two blocks.
Yep, to block tunnel. Hmm.
That's kind of it for miweek. How about you?
Were you been up to just started?
Building my storage system. Actually, my last episode I put
out yesterday. Actually.
I have a double Mas Farm. I added to help Supply.
By the bone meal to my would farm and it's working perfectly
surprised. I was able to get this to work
so well, but yeah, I'm getting a ton of moss ton of bone meal.
The Moss is just on the side it comes in but I can always
convert that into more bone meal.
So it's it's nice having all that hooked up and just hitting
a lever and having everything doing what you wanted to do with
no tutorial added. So, uh, huh always a big
accomplishment for me. I at least have feel like it
that you know when I'm able to do that kind.
Stuff it boosts my confidence in my Redstone at least, but I had
to put it. I have this huge room.
I built for you chopping. Now.
Would you need a lot of room for the big trees and stuff?
So I built this huge room and I have to design it.
Now, you know, I have to make it look presentable.
You know, I wanted to make it look good.
The bottom part. I really like the way it came
out. But you know, there's a top
section and I was going to carry the design from the bottom, but
I know Because it's at the bottom.
I can always do something different up, the top on the top
and the switch it up a little bit.
So that's what I did. And I'm kind of making, I guess,
you could say, like a dome type of look on the ceiling for the
room. Those are always complicated but
fun when they are actually finished.
Yeah, and I think I got the shape, right?
And I'm adding the Moss to the ceilings and it's certainly look
a lot better. That way.
I still have to detail it to really bring the room together,
but building this store. System, like I have a certain
sword system. I really like to wear.
You know, I can have my bulk items and also my other items on
the side filtered into the system, to where I will have to,
and I usually do the same designs every season, but it
takes up a lot of room and I noticed, while building this
storage system. I'm already like breaking into
places where I travel like my tunnel down into my would my
Woodrum. Yeah.
It's it's like, it's got red stone all through.
Right. Now, you know, I gotta Jump
Around the red soon to the Redstone to get down there.
Yeah. So yeah, I gotta move stuff
around. I got to figure out how this
room is going to. Look, I got the one side done
with the Moss and where the storage is.
It's on a different level. So I got to figure out.
Maybe a different design for that.
I don't know. It's going to be challenging.
Uh-huh. I have been recording the whole
storage thing. Not going to do like a time
lapse or anything. You know, I feel like I've done
that every every time I build a storage so I'm Just like jumping
through. Yeah, just kind of jumping
through and making cuts to where I need it.
And having a lot of trouble with this, this big room and trying
to tie everything together, especially when you know, where
certain bills are going to be, you know, where things are going
to go, and you got to try to design around that for the
future and it's just it's been really difficult and I wanted to
look good. This is my main place and yeah,
just want to make sure it looks right before I put anything out
there. They're if it looks too bad.
I might show it just to say, look, look at where I'm at.
You know like yeah, this is the struggle, you know, but just to
let people know, you know, I am human I do mess up on designs a
lot. Mmm.
It's a lot of block placing not all the time you go into
creative and get it. Right.
So yeah, I'm very much. Not a creative player.
Me. Neither very rarely.
Do I go into creative and design something?
Before I actually build it. Hmm.
You can see it a bit in my sugar cane.
I'm laps. I was building the side walls
and you see me put up two different styles of walls and
just tear it down because it looked ugly.
Yeah, there's a time and a place for time lapse to like you think
like you said on your time-lapse, you might tear it
all down mid time last because you don't know what it's going
to look like didn't mess up a time-lapse dude.
When I hit the start recording the time that's button.
I get like nervous and my chest starts beating harder because
I'm like, I gotta get this. Done as quick as possible to
make the editing as easy as possible.
Right? And the longer, you like.
Oh, this is like a almost an hour recording.
Now. My chest is just like, it's
like, geez, and you look all forget these blocks.
I gotta gotta figure out a way to put that in the recording or
take that out of the recording. Yeah, because if I don't it's
going to be all in the comment section.
Yeah, it's true. I do that too.
Yeah. Yeah, that's been my week, you
know, just having trouble with the room that Sign around the
storage system. That's where I'm at storage
systems to me, are always the most important part of your
Minecraft base. It's where you're going to be at
the most. Exactly.
So your storage area has to be the best-looking area in a Base,
According to me. Yeah, I agree.
I usually do a lot of work on my storage area and I have the most
fun. I think mess with storage areas.
I do too. I love designing storage rooms.
Yeah, mainly because I know how to build that my don't have to
go in too much. Stepped on the tutorial.
Now what once, you know, the multi-item Sorting area.
I will have to check it out and see how to how it's done.
But honestly, I kind of knew how to do it because I've built it
so many times and it's real nice.
When builds or at least redstone contraptions.
You don't know or that, you know, but not too sure how they
work. You got to check it out.
Every time you start to get used to it.
Yeah, and then you just know it, you know, you don't have to do
all that stuff and go in the Was in double check everything
because you you've done it before and you know it.
Mmm. Should we go ahead and move on
to the news because we have a decent amount.
Yeah, so we'll start with the big like cut off.
That you will not be able to play Minecraft Java Edition on
March 10, 20 22, unless you convert to a Microsoft account,
and they're pushing it. They're pushing hard now, you'll
still get your migration cape. There's that isn't it a
different Cape? Now.
Same Cape by solid your cape Rosetta.
Nope, you're thinking about our other news.
Yes. That's a bit dungeons.
Yep, Minecraft dungeons. Hit 15 million players.
So Gigi's to them, right? And to celebrate their doing,
the festival Frost, which lasts till February 22nd.
It's got a bunch of different, basically.
Ice and snow theme challenges, some of the levels on the tower,
have got new deck. Rations to go with that.
And if you log in anytime after February 8th, you'll receive the
I saw larger Cape as a thank you.
I have to do that. Yeah, I need to get I've been
wanting to get back into dungeons.
I just haven't had the time. Yeah, my mind's been mainly on
Minecraft. Yeah, trying to make videos and
all that stuff. But that's it for dungeons.
We did have a Java, Snapchat, snapshot words, and it was a
dead end. Other tiny one.
Lots of bug fixes. I say tiny one.
It really wasn't. It's tiny for us non-techie kind
of people. Like there are several features
in the game that have now been converted to tags such as
structures items blocks and biomes, right?
And that's going to be huge for the technical community in the
map, making Community, for me and Jimbo.
I'm know what that is. Yeah, probably not going to use
that but format making people this Like a lot of these smaller
updates are kind of driven to those guys, by throwing in large
technical features. Mmm.
It could affect vanilla if they're trying to recode how
some of these structures and stuff gets pond in the world.
Yeah. Maybe it's a little easier on
the code. So, I was just thinking the
other day. I think it was yesterday about
me, asking Q magnet, what he needed to build these Maps, you
know, because he built some really intricate Maps.
Mmm. He was on the show.
Show, if anyone hasn't heard great map Builder, but yeah,
it's making it, he told us, you really don't need anything.
You just need the game itself. Everything's on this game.
You need to build these maps for different park or whatever kind
of map. You want to make.
And here looks like they're making things.
Even easier makes it even more easy to just use the game
instead of these third-party applications to help you with
your map making. Hmm.
Be cool, even though I probably never make a map.
Sure. This makes it easier.
I've thought about making a map because you can get the map
makers. Kate didn't know that one.
But if I were to do something like that, I would want to go
all in and make the best map. I possibly could like, what kind
like a game. Yeah, I would try to do
something like a mini game map. Okay, maybe a maze, that can
constantly change. All right, something like that.
Could be cool, but it would That would take away from doing
videos and stuff. Yeah, so I would have to kind of
choose. Yeah, you would pick up
something else to learn though. This is true.
Expanding your Minecraft Minecrafting.
Yeah, but some of these small bugs that they fixes structure
blocks, not rotating entity's, correctly, Super Flat, Water
worlds were obsolete for the 118 update their back and flashing
particles when boosting upwards with fire Rockets, it used to be
like Dead center of the screen so it would block your vision.
Now, it's off to the bottom right a bit.
Oh, that's good. Yeah.
Also, if you had a parrot on your shoulder and you use the
riptide enchantment, it would kill the parrot.
Now it does. I did see that, that's good.
Yeah, like I said, smaller update for us.
Normal people who aren't technical.
Hmm. Let's we have parrots with
tridents. Let's we have parents with
tridents. But also, if you're a South
Korean, there's like a law. Law or a mandate now that you
have to have gameplay, Tyner timer notices built into the
games so much, eggs, gone ahead and done that.
So you don't have to worry about that.
And it'll let players know to take the occasional Break Stuff,
which is always healthy. Yeah, it's good to take breaks.
Yeah. It's not added for any of the
other regions of and I think a lot of players might ask for it
to be maybe. So that could be something to
look out for might be just like a freedom type of thing.
Like, To be able to play as long as I want, you know, I should be
able to take breaks when I want. So there's also that I'm sure
that plays into give us the optional toggle setting, right?
Like yeah, I'd like the timer turned on to let me know, take a
break. So I'm sure they're like, hey,
you know, it's good to take breaks in the game.
Here's the help. Some people may not want to, you
know, regardless if it's healthy or not.
Yeah, and then there was a Bedrock beta that came out.
Yeah, it's all that we got New goat horn animation.
Hmm, which doesn't look right to me.
Still. No, so it basically just brings
the player's hand to their mouth with the go horn in it.
And then it plays the goat horn sound, but it removes the goat
horn before the sound is done playing, I didn't realize it.
So I was like, what? Yeah, so there's that frog.
Spawns the little CD eggs for frogs.
You can now see them underneath If they're in the water, I guess
before you couldn't see them. Yeah, you could before but are
you couldn't before and the the big part of the beta update is
frog, lights got new textures, which is something we were
asking for. Yeah, it's very subtle.
Yeah. As they basically made them
brighter, which, in my opinion, made it worse.
The one thing I do like is you can now rotate the block.
Oh, yeah, place. Sit down in different directions
and you can get a different texture.
They are all relatively the same texture though.
It's not like it's a huge change, but I do like the idea
of that. I've still not a fan of the
textures. Yeah.
We'll see how it's used. Yeah.
I don't know. There's they're pretty similar
to the sea lantern. Lets you want that different
color. Yeah.
It's basically different colors sea lanterns except for the
Verde, which is the same color sea lanterns.
At the greenish. Yep.
Yeah, Verde means greet. And to me it looks like you took
a light block and you shoved it inside of a frog.
So the frog is now stretched to the size of a block.
Yeah, almost and that's the texture.
It's like the Ribbit throat. Exactly.
That's what I that's what I noticed.
Yeah. It doesn't sit too.
Well with me. It doesn't feel right.
I guess it does feel like frog though, you know does feel like
a fraud if Frog had a light. That's probably that's probably
what it would look like, I guess.
Yeah. I'm just wondering if it's going
to get the in drug treatment because remember for years,
nobody use the inner odd because it had that stupid purple pink
base. Yep.
I remember and then they changed it to Gray and then in Rod
became a viable, light source again.
Hmm. So I wonder if these are going
to get that kind of tree because right now, the only time I would
use a frog light is to put trapdoors over top of it.
Mmm, but I think the farm for frog lights would be a bit
harder than a sea lantern farm with guardians.
Yeah, you would think the sea lantern, Guardian Farm.
Me and Carl has built. You can AFK that thing for an
hour and you end up with like 18 stacks of ceilings.
Mmm. I don't think a frog life armed
going to produce that much. Yeah.
It's also the most efficient way to make a Frog.
Light sperm sperm Farm is to find the The Magma Cube spawner.
And that's probably in the Bastion, you know, you'd have to
deal with all that dig it out and, you know, try to make a
farm in there which honestly, you know, what's harder that or
this ocean Monument. Then again, the ocean Monument.
You don't, it doesn't need Dugout anymore.
Doesn't need drained. Nope.
There's other ways around it. So, yeah, I guess it would be
easier. I never thought I would say a
guardian farm would be the easier version of another form.
I have any other Farm. Yeah, it's normally pretty
difficult. Yeah, all right, but that's kind
of it from the news. Should we hop into some listener
comments? Okay.
So the first one we have is from the kellett in pairs.
I'm hoping I'm saying that right sounds like it looks like it.
It's spelled skeleton without the S.
So they want to know what? Our top three, most annoying
mobs in the game. And how would we improve them?
I say let's save how would we improve them for obviously
mending Minecraft because that's a thing.
Yeah, but our top three most important.
Annoying mobs. I think we can both say Phantom.
Yeah, one of mine is the bat. Yes.
It's always seems to be in your way.
Uh-huh. Always squeaking in your yeah.
There's no real useless and if it's to it, yeah, it's useless.
So yeah. Phantoms bats.
Other annoying mob. There's quite a few but we're
talking top three. Yeah, baby zombies are kind of
annoying just because they're faster.
They're hit boxes or Or, but, I don't know if I'd put them in my
most annoying gasps. Hmm.
Gasps a pretty annoying. But they're more manageable.
Now that they can't hit you. At any level.
They have to be eye level. Yeah, they do wreck builds a do
but they're only in the nether. So yeah, Enderman are annoying.
Yeah, you had more run-ins with Enderman.
Yeah. The amount of interment.
I have teleport inside my builds while I'm working on them.
Screw that guy. Here.
Yeah, I want to say creeper but I feel like it's too obvious and
there, I don't know that Felix a little more manageable and
creepers. I don't really have much of a
problem with drop creepers, a pretty scary.
But when they spawn above, you drop down on you, yeah, it's
more of like a caving thing. Yeah.
I'm trying to think of like everyday things.
I do. What mobs.
Exactly annoy you? Yeah, you're right.
Phantoms Phantoms for sure cats. When you build an iron farm and
So just spawning everywhere. I haven't had one cat modern
farm yet. Oh, you got lucky.
I mean, I haven't either, but that's because I put my iron
farm 60 blocks below G. Ya know, villagers are kind of
annoying. They can be, I don't know.
I don't think there's much more in ways of annoying.
Yeah, that number three is like a combination of the other
annoying mobs. Drown can be annoying, early
game. Mmm, but villagers The villagers
always seem to show up and annoy you.
Yeah. Pillager patrols because you
have to kill the captain in a special way.
If you don't want bad Omen. Yep, he got to avoid killing him
a certain way. I always just try to take a
trick, his teammates into killing him.
That's what I do. But his teammates behind him.
Yeah, they always seem to interrupt, the only seen one
this season on ripple effect, same.
And it was in the shopping district.
Mmm, fact that are wanting Traders can sell other things
besides what they normally do. Make them a little more useful.
Less annoying. Yep.
We get the mini Blockheads with the wandering Trader now.
Mmm, they used to be annoying. They could have been the top
three but it's free leads. I've forgotten how to craft
leads because just getting free from wondering craters.
Yeah. Been crafted a lead in a long
time. Any annoying passive mobs.
I mean, besides the bat I guess the bad cats cats.
Yeah, I guess cats would be the most annoying out of the passive
one. Yeah.
I guess we could throw that at number three.
Yeah, I know. It's interesting to think about
how would you categorize them and stuff should move on to the
next comment. Next, comment is from core
otter. They ask for they say, hey does
in Jimbo. I want to ask what stuff you use
for podcasting as I want to start on myself like editing
software recording program, Etc. So what is it that you use?
The same thing that you use, right?
Because we have the exact same setups which Worked out really?
Well. Hmm.
Well, I shouldn't say exact, same our USB interfaces or bit
different, but we both use audacity to record.
Usually, what's going on is? I'm recording my own voice.
My recording does not have Jimbo on it at all.
Hmm. And then Jimbo's doing the exact
same, he has his recording. I'm not on it at all.
And they usually we have a backup.
I have a separate computer that will record the hall or record
the entire call together, but I've had to turn off that.
Back backup computer. After my power search has messed
something up and I just haven't gotten it up and going yet.
And the backup is really only there in case, something bad
happens to either mine or Jimbo's recordings because it's
recording the Discord call. Which means you get drops, you
get cut outs and you get a what do they call it artifacts and
stuff so it doesn't sound as good artifacts.
Yeah, that's what they call it. I think we're.
It's like a fuzzy and stuff. Yeah.
Well you got little Buzzer sounds happening.
You have had those artifacts. Yeah, so recording locally and
then both me and Jimbo do a quick pass over.
Both of our edits usually spend 5 10 minutes cleaning out
anything. Major amplifying, the sound
doing a noise reduction stuff like that.
So like I move around in my chair a lot.
I'm sure it takes Karloff. I just can't sit still for the
close to two hours. It takes to record.
So I do a couple, I try one not to move unless I'm quiet because
that helps recording and to I usually can find the chair
movements and I try to reduce a good bit of a before I send it
to Carl. There's probably a lot more
noise that Carl doesn't see like the amount of times.
I punched the microphone just trying to wiggle around the he
doesn't see because I see this giant line on the recording.
I'm like, oh got to get rid of that actually.
Uppercut. He's saying that the amount of
times I punch of Mike is crazy. I honestly don't notice on this
end good but yeah, well like if we have to cough or anything, we
just cough just to make sure we can see it in our recording so
we can take it out. Maybe take a mental note of
okay. Yeah 34 minutes in.
I cough. So I got to find that before
sending the Carl early in the recordings.
That was a real bad for me. I was going through some kind of
allergy. Gee where I would cough for
three to four months every year and I mean it would I could only
get three or four sentences out of where I would start coughing.
Now. I'm on medication.
So it only lasts about a month now which stinks, but what has
helped is our audio interfaces. So me and Jimbo are both using a
Shure, sm58 microphones, which are really nice, rugged, XLR,
microphones, and it relatively cheap.
I think, what were they Jim? Looks there's like 9999 or
something like that. He has Run 100.
Yeah, and then we use different interfaces.
You're using an inbox interface and the USB interface is
important. Because with these mics, you
need a lot of gain because we're not singing.
They're meant for people to be projecting their voices.
It means I'm born. Don't we just talk?
No, we don't see much yet on. So you need a USB interface as
got a good amount of gain. That doesn't sound terrible.
Jimbo got an inbox which has been really good.
And then I ended up getting a go XLR mini, which has been real
nice because it comes with the mute button.
So when I cough, I can just reach over and hold the mute
button and it'll deaf and my Mike and I can go ahead and call
so that helps Carl with edits and it also comes with the
fancy. Button, which is fun.
Yeah, the bleep. Yeah.
We don't know what Carl uses to edit the episode.
I think he does it in audacity. Does he do it all now?
That's it. Yeah.
Okay. So we're recording and editing
in audacity, which is free. Nice.
Yeah, so that's pretty easy. We do use a Google Sheets,
right? Yeah.
Google Sheets. Yeah.
Google Sheets for our notes. Yeah, we make sure to take care
of our notes. I do day of mainly Dutch eyes to
get everything ready night. Before.
Yeah, if I have time, I'll jump on there with a will go over the
notes try to come up with some topics.
And yeah, we keep everything there Showtime comes up.
We have our notes there. We make sure we don't just to
make sure, we don't forget anything.
It's very, very helpful. Google Sheets is nice because
all three of us, meet Carl and Jimbo can be in it and typing at
the same time. Yep.
So that's really nice. The amount of times.
I got to leave notes. Like I had to do that this week
for Carl. Carl do not link.
Do not delete link below. This is For an upcoming show and
he just writes dash dash dash. Okay.
Yeah, it's also a way to communicate.
Speaking of communicating Discord has been huge for the
podcast. Discord is massive.
The ant just getting a bunch of questions in what you guys are
thinking, what you guys are thinking about the show any
comments, you know, it's a makes it easier to bring it up on the
show. Find other topics.
Yeah, definitely recommend, of course, it's You're going to
need an audience to be able to use the Discord but to
communicate with everyone who listens and works on the show.
Discord is the main thing we use at Discord as is a game changer.
And now we have like a stage. So one of our parts of being a
patron is if you're a milk level Patron, not only do you get your
name red in the show at the end of the show, but you can listen
to the show live. So like we have wire guy.
And I believe is Casey plays games.
They're chilling in the chat right now.
So when we do our post-show, most of the time, they're able
to speak freely and we just talk to each other the entire time.
Yeah, so that's the main three things we have up.
When we record. We have our audacity.
We have our Discord up and our notes.
Yep. Google Sheets every time.
Yeah. Thank you guys for those
comments. And those comments were from our
Discord and it's the only place you can talk to everyone who
works on the show. Easily just take C-3PO as word
for it. Hello interwebs.
I'm C-3PO a member of the withering effect Discord, a
great place to talk to fellow like-minded Minecrafters and to
get to know the people from the show.
Sometimes there are even puppy pictures, don't delay.
Join. The Discord today.
Link is in the show notes. Tolu Duds made me say that.
Thank you for the Discord, add C-3PO.
And speaking of the Discord is the only place where you can get
involved in our mending Minecraft vote this week.
We asked you to choose between one of three biomes for us to
discuss and improve your choices were Forest, Basalt deltas and
snowy Taiga in the winner. This week of mending Minecraft
is basalt Delta's. Why?
It's a pretty big victory. I think Basalt Delta's was the
easier one to fix this week. Yeah.
It's more of the rougher terrain.
Well, Forest. I could have added like Bears,
anything brush and stuff like that.
Yeah, Force did come and second. It had 19 votes.
Basalt Delta's, do had 35, who and snowy tiger.
With seven. Yes.
If you want to know about their assault dentists, what we can do
with them, few things before we start about the salt Delta's,
Basalt Delta's is a volcanic, biome situated in the nether.
The basalt Delta's is composed. Largely of largely of Basalt
Blackstone, and it's fog appears in a doll, lilac color with Ash
particles passing by. That's like the atmosphere, only
gas magma, cubes and Striders can spawn.
Here. Also, the Bastion remnants do
not generate in the basalt Deltas.
Hmm. The basalt Delta or the Deltas
of the basalt. Deltas, are one block, deep
sheets of constrained lava found among the terrain of Basalt.
Delta biomes. Now.
Those are what Deltas are. I wouldn't even sure what
they're technically a structure in the basalt Delta's, right?
And it's it, and this is where it differs from real-life
Delta's. Like, a delta in real life is
weird. The end of a river meets a large
body of water. Hmm.
And a Delta is made up of river runoff.
So it's a bunch of sediment that just has been pushed out.
Okay, and that's what upsets me is basalt Delta's, it doesn't
feel like a Delta. It's a really cool name and
basalt Deltas are a really cool-looking biome.
I think I said that when we had the nether update that the
basalt Delta's were my favorite looking biome, but they're not
really a Delta. So I would of if one, we had
lava rivers in Basalt Delta's, that would be cool.
Okay, and a Delta would always be at the edge of a lava ocean
because that's where Delta is go or a lava lake or whatever.
You want to call them, large body, a lava.
This is like out inside the basalt Deltas or could be
anywhere in the nether. If you have a giant Lava Lake, a
Delta would be on the edge of it.
Okay, doesn't have to be on the edge of it, but could be on the
edge of it so you could have a lava lake without.
Basalt Delta, which you can't have a Basalt Delta without a
lava lake. Okay.
So there's that and then coming up with like a structure to put
in the Delta. You heard like there are no
remnants or anything like that. And there I didn't want to add
another mob to spawn on there because honestly magma cubes and
gas in the basalt Deltas. Are already dangerous enough.
It is because one wrong movement and you fall into lava.
So another hostile mob was Not on the books.
Yeah, I think the terrain of the basalt Delta.
This is definitely the hardest to Traverse.
Hmm, even even with a lighter. Yeah, like, there's hardly any
area to fly. You almost got to fly around the
so Delta's half the time to just to get through.
Yeah, and don't, you dare throw an enderpearl?
Oh, no, love everywhere. Mmm, Yeah.
It's a pretty dangerous. Yeah, but I thought it would be
cool if you could find piglet. Artifacts.
Okay, like Maybe just a tiny structure here or there or maybe
a brute Acts or something stuff like that.
Like a little, what's the word? I'm looking for storyline.
Yeah, but a little bit of lower floor.
That's the word. I'm looking for.
Yeah, like a little lure, why? They're not there.
They can't spawn there, or maybe there was one there and they
died and left this stuff behind Delta's, pushed them out.
Exactly. Maybe a Delta was overflowing
lava, that's cooled over the time.
I'm. Yeah, I think that would be.
That would be fun. Mmm.
Nothing too much. Yeah, I was thinking about how
you can improve it. Then it's relatively new the
basalt Deltas. Yeah, so that was the other
thing. You don't want to tweak too much
because it is a brand new bio. Mmm.
It's relatively up to date. So I do like the ash particles
they added to it. I do too.
Definitely my favorite part about it really cool.
Hmm, that reminds me. So I posted this picture of
Discord. Friday at work.
We had a fire awesome. Yeah, there there's a car sales
lot next to us and there's a bunch of woods between us and
they're known to burn tires back there near the woods, which is a
dumb idea, but will, and its really legal.
They're not supposed to do that anywhere near City Limits.
I don't even think you're supposed to be burning rubber
tires, period. But yeah, they were burning
something and they didn't realize one of the Embers had
blown into the woods. And winter in North Carolina is
weird because all the leaves fall out of the trees.
So the grounds just covered in leaves and sometimes it gets
cold and wet, but a lot of the times like Friday, it was 65
degrees and bone dry. So all the leaves in the woods
just went up in Flames. Yeah, and I'm talking Flames up
to my chest and it was funny because me and the guy I'm
working with, I walk up to him, like, you smoke campfire.
He's like, yeah. Yes, smell it.
So we went and got one of our higher ups and like, do you
smell it? And he's like, no, I don't smell
anything like you sure if he's like not.
Well, we come back. 15 minutes later.
The fire had made its way to our parking lots fence line, which
was a couple feet away from where my car was.
So we're all like running out to our cars to move them and it
felt like I was in a Basalt. Delta, with all the ash falling
like I was covered, my car was covered.
It was like snow that That stunk Mmm.
Yeah, so to me, that's that was that was cool.
The fact that my first thought of all this fire.
Well other than get my damn car out of here and get to safety.
Was this feels like Basalt Delta's in the nether.
Yeah the ash in the air. Hmm.
Lots of had to wash my car yesterday.
Jeez. You have ever had any situation
like that. My car went from blue to light
as gray blue. Oh, yeah fire department came.
They got it all under control. By the time, we were able to
leave work, but I work in the warehouse, which meant we just
breathe smoke all day, which I felt was kind of rude.
Yeah, he'll be right. Had to come home and watch all
my clothes because I smelt like campfire.
Yeah. Anyways, should we move on to
our topic? Yeah, we do that.
Okay. Our topic comes from my disdain
of rain in Minecraft. Now, I don't like it sucks.
Hmm. But Minecraft has changed, the
way the rain spawns to make it rain more.
Or. Yeah, Lisa feels like it.
It's feels like it's raining every other day in Minecraft.
Now. I know it's not but it feels
like it. Yeah, so I'm not I'm not a big
fan of this at all. And I had I was like, well,
let's try to find out ways to make it better.
That's we're going to go with. All right, we know Minecraft
tries to do seasons with biomes. So when you get something like
snow, you're only going to get it in a certain biome, but that
also means that the grass color changes.
So, like tiger grass is a little bit more dull than plain glass
that grass and Mooshroom grass is way more tropical than planes
grass. So, one of the first things I
thought would be, how cool would it be to be able to silk touch
the different color grasses and be able to move it and place it
down. Put make it like a different
biome, right? Yeah.
And move it. You could manufacture your own
kind of like, so if you dug up a No block or a snowy grass,
block, you could now move it. Mmm, and put it down.
So you can manufacture small areas to be different, kinds may
be doing enough snow blocks in a certain area.
Means it snows there when it rains.
Yeah, so maybe you only want it to snow on a house.
So you dig out underneath the house and place the snow blocks
underneath it. Okay, or snow grass blocks.
Not just no blocks, no grass blocks, and that causes it to
only Snow on the house. Hmm.
So like you're doing a Christmas build but you don't want to
build in the snowy area. You want to build in a plane's
or something like that, but now you can manufacturer snow
falling by moving these blocks over.
Yeah. Yeah, you can always make a
plane's look wintery, but the whether you're not going to get
that weather. Yeah, I thought about that in my
taiga forest. I really like my taiga forest,
but everyone thought it'd be cool if it snowed there.
Hmm. Do you have snowy tigers?
Mmm, there is that but I don't like when it snows there all the
time yet dealing with the rain all the time.
Especially, you know, when you try to make content, yeah, is to
struggle. We should we're supposed to have
a way to turn that off with sleeping and a lot of people
saying, well, it doesn't rain till gets close to nighttime.
Anyways, I'm not seeing that like a lot of the times when
it's raining on me. It's the beginning of the day.
Yep. So I've lost an entire 20
minutes or 15 minutes, whatever it is to rain.
Recording time. He had rather have a
thunderstorm s sleep through it. Yeah, right.
There also comes with the fact that running around in the rain
in Minecraft makes me motion sick for some reason doesn't
like I've just started realizing this.
I was trying to get indoors when it started raining and I was
good ways away from my house. That's just like, why am I
feeling sick to my stomach? And I realize it was the rain.
The second I got inside. I was good.
Mmm. In Minecraft is the only game I
get motion sick. Con doing certain things, most
of the time it's working in just a two block tall tunnel.
That'll do it to me. But yeah, the rain, I guess
because it never rained that much before I didn't notice it.
But now that it's raining, like, all the time.
It's making me motion sick and it doesn't help.
That pretty much rain is the only weather we have.
Yes, why we kind of brought this up.
All we have is right that of thunderstorms.
It's it there's no in between You can never get a missed.
You don't get fog. Yeah, what if what if we do have
like an in-between? Maybe like an overcast?
Yeah, that could help you avoid the rain, but also give a chance
for mobs to spawn in the day with that overcast.
It would take the light level down a little bit.
Well, the fact that they have to respond in light level 0 now.
Yeah, kind of hurts that. But with the overcast, we get
overcast in deserts and Savannah's, yes.
Yep, if you just move to through the world, that would be right.
Yes. It would, it would just be a
whether not so much of a feature in that biome.
Yeah, you can randomize location.
You would probably still need to do it by biome but not
specifically to biomes. So this taiga biome is getting
ready to have a weather event. That weather event is now
randomized. So it's getting a misting.
But the biome next to it, it's randomized is a downpour.
Yeah, and then it changes and stuff.
No longer. Will it rain everywhere except
for Savannah and desert? Now, it might actually rain in
the desert, for once. Right now, you brought up
misting, when you own you say missing.
I'm thinking fog. I have fog down here as some
kind of an improvement because fog is like a weather.
Yeah. It's but it's more like an
atmospheric type of deal, but it Makes it and it makes it thicker
to see through. Yeah, what if in the mornings
along like a Rivers riverbeds? There's like a thick fog when
you're running through. I think that would be cool to
see and it doesn't have to be like so much realistic like fog
does generate more round rivers and stuff because Mark foggy
because the the at their the waters being I don't know how
fog Works. Apparently.
I'm trying to explain it, but I don't know how it works.
Yeah, but yeah, there's water in the air.
It's called. There's condensation.
I love the idea of fog because to me, fog and Minecraft can be
really beautiful. Mmm, but localizing it to
Features. I think when make it hard, yeah,
so, I already know randomizing weather events based on biomes,
would honestly be complicated. So, to even break it down,
further into localizing it to a feature like a river.
Yeah. Well, there are river, biomes,
they literally say, River biomes on there.
Yeah, so you could do that using my idea.
Yeah. Well, I was thinking, you know,
naturally, that's where you'd find it.
But this is Minecraft. Yeah, maybe you could have fog
everywhere at certain times of the day, could be a weather
thing. Maybe.
Maybe in the desert. It's more like a sandstorm now,
that's Sandy. And that's a fog and you, it
doesn't hurt you or anything. It just makes it the visibility
worse while you're running along.
I thought that would be pretty cool.
Yeah. I was just Take an early morning
near bodies of water. Could randomize into a fog.
Hmm, maybe a better chances around bodies of water.
Yeah. So like if you have a 2% chance
of fog early morning, because that's when you see file.
You don't see fog at 3:00 in the afternoon, or at least you
rarely see it, right? So two percent chance of fog in
the morning, but if you're near a body of water, like an ocean,
it increases from 2 to 10. Once the sun gets so high, it
kind of burns off the fault. Yeah, by the time, the sun's
midday, it's gone. Yeah, or even sooner.
Yeah. Even sooner.
Didn't you would start having people hunt for the perfect
screenshot. Yeah, or maybe, if you're like,
after someone like, we have this game assassin on our server.
Maybe in the Fall, Guy might be a good time to go after
somebody, but I don't, you could turn the fog on and off, though,
like there is fog in the game. Lee.
It's more of like a rendering thing render distance, but you
can always turn that off which could obsolete.
The whole fog idea. I do I do have on here,
atmospheres. Okay.
Now, the way I wanted to explain, this is, let's say
you're in the desert right deserts, really hot.
Maybe, you know, the atmosphere doesn't look the same as if
you're in a plains biome. Maybe the sun's really bright in
the desert, you know, maybe Well, maybe if you look far
enough away, you could see like the heat in the air like that
wavy heat in the air, you know, you have that kind of atmosphere
in the desert and you know other biomes would have their own type
atmosphere kind of like the nether.
Now I've been asking for this for a while now.
Yeah, I love what they did with the nether in atmospheres.
Now, it's not so much of a weather type of thing.
But I feel like it lets you know, if it's hot if its cold,
you know, just from the atmosphere.
We thought we were going to get that with the cave update.
Yeah, and we didn't. Yeah, they did mess around with
the atmosphere in the caves a little just by the looks really
the generation. But the atmosphere were talking
about, I don't think they really touched it in the Overworld.
But speaking of the another, what if we had another weather?
Mmm. Yeah, you mentioned, we have
atmospheres and stuff. And I don't mean like it's
raining in another like not that, right?
But talking about It's all deltas and stuff.
What if the lava gets a little angry and bursts out every once
in a while like you see a little bit of lava pop up two or three
blocks, every ten to thirty seconds?
Like a little geyser. Yeah, little tiny guys are well
the geyser that could be cool. Yeah, kind of see an effect
would be considered whether yet. I was trying to think of ways to
add, whether to the nether without just being like.
Now it rains. Hmm.
Sounds like we have all this lava lava geysers could cool.
Kind of like, you know, Yellowstone and stuff.
Was that you simony where they have the water geysers and I
don't know. Something like that.
Could be cool. Yeah, it's almost like the
Nethers kind of a different world.
Could you make up a new weather? Could you possibly do that?
You know, something that's not going to like interfere too much
with your gameplay. Just, as much as rain would, you
know, just kind of steam. Yeah, maybe steam is a weather
inside the nether another, whether?
Yes, so, like, it's trying to rain but because it's the Nether
and immediately evaporates. Yeah, maybe there's like a hiss
in the air because, yeah, it can't.
That could be cool. Or maybe the fog thing might be
worth using in the Nether and to the Overworld.
Maybe just gets foggy in the nether, Manny.
Imagine? How much more dangerous?
It would be? Yeah, if you took Psych.
Right away from the nether. Jesus.
No, thank you. Yeah, maybe nether weather
isn't? Yeah, maybe not the best idea.
My final thing though, was, we need a way to be able to summon
storms. Okay, we now have the lightning
rod, which can control where lightning hits, which is a great
idea. Yeah, in my opinion, but there's
a lot of times people are just constantly waiting for
thunderstorms to happen. And then there are other people
who are on the server here like, Want to deal with thunderstorms
right now. Mmm, but because this person has
been waiting three hours for a thunderstorm.
I have to let it happen. I mean, it'd be so much better.
If someone can wait to the server's empty and then be able
to summon their their thunderstorm or whatever.
Yeah, didn't course. You would run into the people
who would just constantly make e.
Make it thunderstorm in all the time.
Yeah, that would be a downfall. Yeah.
How could you balance something like that?
That'd be the main question. Yeah, you'd have to make the
summoning expensive like summoning.
The dragon is not cheap, but it's also farmable.
So it would need to be more expensive than that.
Same. With the Wither, it's not cheap,
but farmable, so you would need to make it kind of like Notch
Golden Apple where they hmm like something like that.
Yeah, it definitely can't be easy.
But that's all I got. Well, there's I do want to bring
up the rain and how you could use a can use your Riptide
Trident to just fly. Like that's one positive about
the rain. If you do have a Riptide tried
you kind of get around with that.
That's sure. Which is nice.
But yeah, you can't do that in the snow.
Can you? I think so.
Okay. Yeah, that's mainly.
The only thing I could see positive with the rain.
It's been pretty annoying to me, also.
Chats telling me not in snow. Nope.
Not in the snow. That's dumb because snow is just
frozen. Water should be the same thing.
But yeah, let us know if you guys have any fixes for the
weather kind of curious. And what new weather.
Would you bring into the game with there?
Be a new one? Oh, yeah.
I want to know what new whether people want to bring in
tornadoes. Yeah.
The only problem is I don't want tornadoes destroying stuff.
That's the main thing like you would I would like to see like a
devastating events like that at one point, but there's going to
be a lot of Image, you know, and I'm sure yeah, Mojang doesn't
want that. No, they've already come out and
said that they loved the idea of natural disaster kinds of things
tornadoes earthquakes floods, but you can't damage a player's
build with a natural event. That's against the rules.
So you can't do that. That we brought up earlier about
the goat horn. And how cool?
Yeah causing Avalanches. Yeah, you brought that up a
while ago. What if the go corn goat horn
with that trumpet? Sound can cause avalanches.
Mmm, or maybe break the snow blocks or not.
The powder, just powdered snow. Blow the snow where your snow.
Yeah, that would be cool like to see that it would be player made
Avalanches kind of. Yeah.
Thought I'd bring it up.
All right. Well, I think that's going to do
it for today's show before I have Jimbo Reedus out.
