Hey guys, welcome to the weathering effect.
This is episode 24 today's date is December 2nd, 2019, and I am
Duds or Duds versus to the rest of the interweb today.
We have a guest Carl. How are you?
What have you been up to hide us?
I'm good. Thank you very much this week in
Minecraft. I've been working on the stock
control system for my new wood vending machine.
Dry sort of stole your business, but you kind of gave it away.
Yeah, I didn't want to chop wood anymore.
Well, I built a tree frog yeah, I was gonna do that too, but
restaurant frustrating me, so it was like the the tree farm was
the biggest Redstone think I've ever bail and it took me far too
long to build G. It was going to be the exact
same with me and I was like not doing it that do it a bit on a
real Redstone thing the It like I did the the vending machine
and then I built the wood farm for the vending machine.
And now I just spent like two days building a stock control
system for it. So I've been on like a real
Redstone high at the moment. It's been a bit weird because
it's usually not my thing. But yeah, you know you go
through these Cycles, don't you? Yeah.
I mean, I've basically been doing the same thing with the
clock tower except that clock tower is as ingenious as I felt
some parts of the Redstone. It frustrated me to my wits in
that daylight sensors do not tell time anymore.
Yeah, if you think it would you think it'd just be light, right?
This signal strength is like midnight this signal strengths
midday and so on and so forth. You'd think that would be how it
was but I saw you doing it on stream and it's just like it's
swear timings that That Forgives out especially at night.
Yeah, and I'm sure if I were to I think I have it figured out my
head. We're like between the second
and third I call it modules. If I do the second third module
and I extend it out two to three more blocks and then between the
third and the fourth module I extend it out five more blocks.
I think it would be correct, but I'll give you the time that you
need right right. So give it's a right signal
strength, right, but I didn't have the room in the mountain to
do that. That would poke my Redstone
through the side of the mountain.
And to me it's like at this point.
It's like okay, we're going if that's how you're going to do
the daylight sensors in the nighttime sensors.
I'm okay with that. That's fine.
But you need to let me be able to put a clock on a block in a
comparator behind it. To read off the correct time.
Yeah, that would make so much sense to put down light like
because I am frames can go on on the ground now as well not just
on walls. So you put a clock in there
comparator on the Block next to it and take a signal strap that
makes so much sense. Well, and I thought about it.
You can't do it tonight or frame though because the item frame
obviously has its own Red Sox and Signal when you spin it, but
if you just have the clock work like an item frame, it shouldn't
be a problem. Yeah, well, you could just stick
it anywhere by itself. Yeah, if an item frame can go
there then a clock should be able to go there.
That's very true. That be not been awesome
feature. Let's let's get Mojang on that
guy's exactly where's my red dragon?
I need omni's Bane of Arthropods enchantment.
I've watched his video on that finally caught up to that and
now I need clocks to work like clocks that red dragon was very
early this effect. I gotta make sure I don't forget
it. I've been very close a couple of
these episodes and forgetting the red dragon, you know what to
do that, you know to do that the off the episode was really good
though. I like some of the ideas that
you had in that for Bane of Arthropods.
I didn't turn in the show cause and that Yeah, I mean it makes
so much sense that Shockers would be considered arthropods.
Yeah, I'll leave a link to that in the show notes as well.
So you guys can go watch albany's video because it's a
really good one and it's kind of inspired by the podcast anyway,
so we'll pop that in there. Yeah.
I wonder where the next episode will inspire of need to do.
Hey Arnie you want to make clocks work like clocks.
I would really like that now be a good idea.
But wait, why is it is it tucks or madcatz that does all of our
data packs and my talk. I think I know winter is just a
couple to insist on a couple mods cast on a few as well.
I'm gonna have to hit him up. Hey, can you make clocks clocks?
Can you make them work like that actually clock?
Yeah instead of movable pictures.
I mean, it's basically a gif in an item frame literally is
exactly And it's gift and not GIF.
Come at me. If you want to argue about that.
Oh God the GIF gift of it. Yeah, I shouldn't I should have
kept my mouth shut. Yeah, other than these going to
set the agenda on fire. She's exactly other than the
clock tower. I've been working on a scripted
Minecraft episode, which may be really cool.
Yeah Ringling a wrangling in some help from certain people.
I'm trying to keep it quiet. I told Carl before the podcast.
I'm going to keep the topic of it quiet for now, but it
revolves around the 2.5 Ripple effects.
He's in and it's a lot of green screen work, which I've never
done. And I'm scared and nervous at
the same time. Basically after this weekend.
I'll know if I can do it or not do it.
So if you guys never see this episode that means this weekend
did not go well and we're not going to do that episode.
It did not go. Well guys, the testing did not
go. Well.
Hmm, and I mean, other than that, I've been doing a lot of
work on my car. So basically since I got it at
16 Is an hour I get this like plastic flapping sound on the
passenger side. Whoo.
Yeah, as I'm good, but at 65 miles an hour the sound goes
away. So what do I do to not hear the
sound anymore? I just go fast everywhere.
Yeah, just drive it 65 everywhere.
I mean it held a solution. It helps that most of the time I
drive on the interstate. Anyways, like I literally I
drive two miles to get onto the interstate and then I take the
interstate for 20 minutes to work and then my work is
literally a mile off the interstate.
So yeah basically have to hear it for a little bit exactly but
basically every weekend I spend at least And now we're at my
parents house or whatever taking plastic panels off and looking
for this stupid flapping sound and every time I'm like, I've
got it figured out I got it figured out and then I go drive
it home and do and I'm like, oh my God, I'm gonna kill something
it's off again. Exactly.
And then this weekend, I mean I would to do this.
I have to Jack the car up crawl underneath there and I'm a big
dude crawling up underneath the tiny Mustangs not So I crawl
underneath there. And at first it was just looking
for loose plastic and tightening it out.
Then it was ripping the plastic down looking around and putting
the plastic back. And after this weekend I said
enough of this. I'm going to check the engine
compartment see if there's anything in there because that's
the one spot haven't checked yet and I'll be darned if I didn't
raise the hood look over to the battery and it's got this
plastic cover that wasn't tightened down.
I wanted what the heck it's always the last place.
You look always right. Well, yeah once I find it I'm
not looking anymore. That's true.
Yeah for design these stupid plastic clips and the hole that
the clips go through to hold it in.
They have the same diameter as the clip.
So it takes like nothing to have that plastic slip over the cliff
and just flap around like something stupid.
So yeah being the great engineer I am I drilled holes and guys
zip-ties zip-tied that panel closed and I that's never
covered up again. Yes, if my battery dies.
I'm kind of screwed. I'm going to have to cut off
them sometimes but hopefully the listed to that noise.
That was first exactly. Well.
I say this I did it up driving to Advanced Auto after work and
buy a bunch of Clips to replace a zip tie.
Wait, I just haven't done it yet.
I wanted to make sure that was where the sound was coming from.
And so far for two days. I've not had a plastic flapping
sound when I drive around nice. So I'm like I have fixed that
stupid feels good. I've had this car seems like
June and it's been bugging me that I can't find it.
It's Jude. Yeah, it's been doing it.
Yeah. Not much December.
It's like right out of there at this point.
My hair's falling out. I can't take it.
Yeah. So those are my rants for the
week guys, if you've managed to stick with the episode, we're
going to talk about some Minecraft now we do it after but
we do have some updates. Well, I shouldn't say update
their pre-releases. So they're mainly bug fixes for
the most part. They're arguing pre-release
three. I didn't even see prerelease to
yeah, I think pre-release free. I want to say came out within a
few days of pre-release to I want to say they were really
close together and because it's coming out on the 10th 115 is
supposed to drop on the temp that I think they're just trying
to get them out as fast as they can just to iron out any last
minute issues. Yeah mixer.
I mean I'm seeing stuff like tweet chunk loading render
performance further. That's fine.
I'm good with that. From what I'm seeing from
snapshots. I am super excited for that
because that's been my biggest gripe is flying is a scary thing
to do on Minecraft definitely especially on a server.
Like if you have like even a couple of people on just trying
to get off the ground is bad enough.
Never mind it actually loading the chunks as well.
So that seems to be improved. Then there was a saint Exuma
video. He let off a load of TNT and it
was actually not Frame City for a change where it's like
PowerPoint presentation. Yeah, it was actually like
proper smooth. It was really nice.
Let's see. This is the best part because
now you're not going to realize you're crashing the server until
it crashes the server. We're good at crush.
It is server. Anyway, it's five.
Yeah. Let's see met text colors on
sign match how they looked at previous versions.
I didn't know it changed. Yeah, I think when they updated
the lighting engine as part of the rendering performance, it
got like really bright on the signs that make sense.
Yeah. So I think they've just dialed
that down to what it was previously.
I'm sure if you perfect white text on like dark oak signed it
stands out like a night light. Yeah made sure foxes are Players
what? I don't know what that's about
but I assume the game fought foxes were place.
Yes you oh I bet it was loading chunks that Fox's room thinking
it was a bear walking around probably be yeah that makes a
lot of sense and then it says fixed bugs.
So there was books. Yeah, there was a load of bugs
now, they're fixed baby ocelots. Don't spawn naturally as snow
can be placed on top of Of fully grown wheat that was weird.
Sounds awesome. You could put Snow on top of
fully grown wheat, I went stuff like wheat to grow through Snow
Yeah, like if it's a single snow layer, if you do choose snow
layers, it shouldn't work. But if you do a single snow
layer, I want grass to be able to go through it and flowers and
stuff like that. That would be cool.
That'd be cool. Yeah, there was just loads of
glitches. There's nothing too much on
there. But again the link to the blog
post is in the show notes. So you guys can peruse all of
those bug fixes at your leisure. Yeah, and basically Carl wrote
up this entire episode. So he has all the correct links.
I'm sure me and bankers and him just weird stuff.
I've just like that go this doesn't exist.
This is a link to Canada's Government website.
What am I supposed to do with the head?
What are you doing? Hey, what are you some Tim
Hortons? I know Canadians.
Actually, I think they're like against Tim Hortons now or
something. I don't know.
Anyways, they got the combat snapshot into 115 out to it's
not going to be released with 115, but they want to make sure
the stuff they're fixing and combat works and 115 correctly,
right? Yeah, they basically rolled they
pre-release into the combat help.
Dates and make it one so they can test all of the combat
changes within you know how 115 is going to come out to us?
Because I think they were testing it and 114 before.
Yeah, and obviously things have changed with like rendering
engines and any of the bug fixes that they've done as well.
They just want to make sure that it's compatible basically and
that it all works as it should do.
Yeah so far. I'm good with everything the one
combat update. I saw that I got really excited
for was Arrow accuracy has been increased.
Decreasing the uncertainty value for a guy like me who uses a
controller on PC. I would constantly complain that
you can hold the cursor in the same spot and fire multiple
arrows and they'll never land in the same spot because now it was
sort of random wasn't it? Yeah, that said - yeah, that's
that uncertainty thing and I can't be as accurate as someone
with a mouse. So PVP from you is just
basically off-limits, but now that that uncertainty value has
Has been decreased. It's like okay now I'm maybe I
could compete a little bit better and play this Capture the
Flag game. Carl's got going for us.
I'll lovely capture the flag with crossbows and fireworks
that we're going to be doing hopefully soon as part of maybe
a livestream maybe just a special episodes, but we'll see
what we can do with that. But it's a really good game and
I can't wait to play it same here.
I really want to play and but yeah, I think the accuracy
because the Introducing the target Block in 160 in as well.
So yeah kind of a kind of goes into that.
They want it to be more accurate so you can actually make proper
mini games out of that block and that as well because it gives a
different signal strength based on where you hit the target
block. Yeah to see how accurate you are
and obviously if the game's not being accurate itself, then the
player can't be accurate either. So if in that sort of bringing
that into line with With with the target block as well.
Yeah, the other thing critical jumps will not trigger a hundred
percent of the time. I'm good with that.
That's awesome. So basically every time you jump
and attack there is no cooldown it all go straight into it.
That's good. Yeah the shield whenever you
crouch I guess it would Otto pull the shield forward.
Yeah, I saw her Exuma talking about this.
I didn't know it did that. I mean it makes sense for it to
do that. But I yeah, yeah, I like that
change. Yeah. trident okay, you guys are
working on the tried it make them an effective weapon just
not open only on sea animals. Yeah, it's I've got to tridents
and I never use them exactly. I would love to use a trident
more I would as well like it's just that they added end.
It was cool at first roll are tridents pretty cool.
Yeah got all got one of got two of them even and with the
different enchantments on and that it's just like they just
sit in my under chest in my toolbox.
Shoka box. Yeah, just sit there.
Well, I mean I had been contemplating for a while now
and I'm pretty sure I've said this in streams and episode just
playing with more minimal armor. Mmm.
So like leather boots and like a leather helmet only and maybe a
light shower Wings. Obviously.
Those are basically needed. Yeah, maybe to increase the
difficulty even more no swords or bows just to try to just try
to imagine a zombie. About 20 minutes basically like
pleased with the thunderstorm happened now so I can kill the
zombie Robert just tickle it with it.
I mean that's another thing. I mean you could probably make a
day to pack but sharpness five on a trident, right?
Probably. Yeah.
It's just changing the the table
and said yeah only weapon I love tridents the way they look I
think it's a cool thing but they're so weak the Blah, it's
almost kind of like the cross but I think the cross was a very
cool weapon, but it takes so long to reload.
So yeah, I think that's in the crossfire.
The only thing it's really got going for it is the fact that
you can use fireworks and yeah overwise the bow is better when
you do using arrows. So yeah.
Yeah, I think a crossbow should be more of a One-Shot kill.
Like what is it piercing? You can put on a crossbow.
I think if you've got the Uh Max piercing.
I mean it might be I don't use the crossbow.
So maybe that'll be some of the stuff I play with when I go to
the 2.5 season. Yeah play with tridents and
crossbows. I think in the Capture the Flag
game I did some testing and I think I only tested impaling one
and it was like 4 shot kill which is which is what I wanted
for the the PVP game. Yeah, and I didn't I didn't
really test any more than that because that's kind of what I
wanted, but I would assume it like it probably doesn't take it
down to one shot kill. It probably takes two maybe
three. Bye.
Too sure. But yeah, if it was impaling 3,
you know, you know on that kind of weapon where you have to draw
it back and everything, you'd think it'd be one shot kill on
that because you can't put quick charge and impaling.
I don't think on them. No, you can't because I have to
put two I have to put two separate crossbows in the in the
game. So you can either choose between
impaling and get in a faster kill or quick quick charge for
loading it faster. And basically when you do the
Capture the Flag game, you have to choose which one you want any
one time so it's like a strategy kind of thing.
And so if you could put those two things together, maybe that
would improve it as well. I think this is going to have I
might have to do some Minecraft science here and see if the
maximum paneling does one shot kill because if you can that
makes up for the fact that you can't put the quick charge on.
Yeah, that would make it, you know viable.
They carry around with you if it can do the One-Shot kill then
you know what I take away all complaints fix the tried it it's
just like just tridents now guys, it's just just Trident.
So in my red dragon and we don't need Bane of Arthropods get that
out of here whoring prove it. Yeah or improve water.
That's a snowball's now stack to 64.
That's good, which I don't know why it's taking that long to do.
Then again, I don't think I could hold 64 snowballs period
so it's true. They've got a 4 tick cool down
so you can throw them faster. I really like that.
They've also now made it so they don't render the first two
ticks. So when you throw the snowball
the first half a second of it being thrown doesn't take up
your entire screen. Yeah, that was really weird that
it did that because it was like it was coming from your mouth as
something. Yeah, do I throw snowballs for
my mouth though? I've heard from my arm.
So why would it come here know how you guys do that?
There are four my tongue Frank from by ear or my eyes my eyes
just froze. It just sounds like a frozen wet
willy. All damage and chance can be
applied to axes good good. I'm excited about that.
And then in the 116 news we got red nether Vines.
I saw the tweet on that so cool. Yeah.
It's a tweet from Jasper and it looks so cool.
I wonder if they stay red when you take them out the never I
assume that they are a new item rather than just a texture
that's applied to Mine's in the never I assume it's like a new
you know, you're gonna have to you're gonna have like green
Vines and red vines that you can get now.
I was thinking the exact same thing because you can see Red
Vines and like real life and I don't mean like the candy
because we have Red Vines as candy here in America.
But yeah, there are Red Vines out there and stuff.
So I really want more colors, but I also need to know can I
only Put the Red Vines on nether brick items.
Let me place it on whatever happened to I mean the Tweet is
just like, you know, he's working on new biomes in 116.
So there's not much information to it.
But if we kind of dig into it hopefully like you can like user
A what? You may call it the Harvest
cheers. Yeah, that's the word I'm
looking for. So you could use shares to
harvest them take them back to the old world and put them on on
the side of your lovely Castle. I would love that especially
where I have that explosion were a portals at ready eyes would
look really good there so many great uses for that, which I'm
going to assume that we can do that.
Imagine if you can combine Red Vines and Cobblestone.
It's an eye you have to read cobblestones of the greenish
Cobblestone read mossy. Cobblestone.
Uh-huh. That's so cool.
It would look so Sinister in some bills.
That would be awesome. Wow, you got do that Bojack come
up. Yeah, you listen to the show or
why you think about it? Like magma blocks have the same
kind of Kabul texture. Yeah.
I imagine combining those together.
The vines in the magma block you can ma see magma Buffy back.
Then it would look cool. It was it makes no sense, but it
would look cool. A Minecraft doesn't make sense
with a lot of ways. It's like sex.
This place is made of blocks. Why is everything Square except
for the clock that I can't put on the wall?
Yeah this clock which is circular.
Yeah, but you can't put it on the wall.
Well, I guess snowballs. I mean, they're not even really
snowballs. They're just white circles
diamonds and and apelles kind of ruins the argument.
Yeah. All right, we get it.
But okay, so instead of the normal listening to one of us
read the ad today. We actually have somebody there
ourselves saying why you should join the Discord.
So we're just gonna let them talk for themselves.
Hey everyone. I'm ytyt and I'm a member of the
weather affect Discord. It's a great place to hang out
with fellow the sisters 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.
Alright, I hope you guys enjoyed that add.
Let us know if you want to record one of those we have some
stuff to do with that and well Carl's got all that figured out
for me. I need to I need to make some
more scripts. Yeah.
Yeah go to the Discord link is in the show notes, and there's a
post there from me asking people to read our disco dad like that
post. I'll get in contact with you
with a script very shortly and we'll get you guys on the show
just Why do you itdid this week? It was awesome and that
interlude music was made by the one and only our music maestro
decoy. You did an awesome job on those
interlude. So thank you D car.
Yeah, I love it because we're just like hey Duke, we had this
random idea. That might be fun.
Can you make some music for it? And he's like, yeah sure in the
next day. Here's some music and then the
day after it's light has some. Oh, yeah.
Here's another one. So that first pass I wasn't
happy with it. Here's another one.
Oh man. This is awesome, too.
The next day no, we're going to go with this one.
Here's another one. I used two of them in that as
well. What at the start and one at the
end and they work so perfectly together.
It's unbelievable. So good job decoy.
Yeah. I really liked it when I listen
to it. It sounds perfect.
But our topic this time is all Carl cause I was absolutely
useless this week, you know Thanksgiving and stuff.
So I had food coma brain going you're like that good.
I have a showed too much. I can't do this.
I can't but we're topics I gonna stand on the scale when I just
cry good at that guy. Noooooo.
I did I eat so much exactly. We don't have Thanksgiving in
the UK, so That is your fault that's awful of it up.
I would like to eat more food. But you know, it's not socially
acceptable clearly, it's fine anyways, so we're getting into
the festive Spirit early. Well, I shouldn't say early
because it's after Thanksgiving. So people who say you can't
celebrate Christmas to after Thanksgiving Canal stick it
yeah. It's like that box is Tech to
guys thanksgivings text. So we're going to hit it with
some ideas to get into the Spirit on what you can do on
your Minecraft server. Yeah, we kind of felt the
because you know, it's the start of December and if you guys want
to set up Christmas areas or get yourselves all together on your
server that this is the best time to do it.
We're coming up to the holidays and it takes as me and Duds know
it takes quite a while to put together a Christmas area like
we did last year on the Ripple effects, and hopefully we'll be
doing again this year and we've got guys That grind and it still
takes a while. Yeah, literally I'd log in each
day to the Christmas area and there was another free built
literally I'd been off the server while I was asleep for
like eight hours and I'll come back and like there's this Santa
Sledge and there's this snow globe and everything's whole all
gone from being grass to be in snow all within the space of
eight hours. It was it was pretty mad.
Yeah. I me build a mini game.
Puts you on the naughty list just because you just want to
curse the entire time. Yeah, so what do we want to get
on our first topic? So Christmas is a good time to
get together with people on your server.
And so the first thing you want to do is build yourself a
Christmas Village. Yeah, I think is the best place
to start with and you need to pick a nice area for that going.
So you've got a few options you got snow eat egg ra Tundra
tundra. Yeah, I even read that out
earlier. So I would get it wrong.
But you know, it's words are hard words are difficult.
You've got things like I spikes areas, or you can do what we can
of did last year which is put our Christmas area next to a
nice bikes biome and kind of turn all the grass into snow
using that cool little snow golem trick that you guys use.
Yeah. I want to say like, that's the
very first thing I've always been Whenever I was like
Christmas Village time, and it's build the snow golem snow
machine. Because you really need that.
Um, I'm trying to think is there an easy way to explain it
because you kind of have to have the Golem sit kind of awkwardly
with Minecart Hoppers. I'm sure there's tutorials and
stuff out there. Yeah, this probably someone that
I can't remember how you guys did it.
But it kind of sits on I say on the on the on the hopper
Minecarts kind of like two of them under each one of them.
There's Locks pushed into Hopper Minecarts.
Okay, and then I want to say there's glass panes behind their
heads. So they kind of sit on multiple
blocks at the same time. So that way you can get even
more snow and just a single block at a time because you know
efficiency efficiency. It was really cool.
I'd until you guys built that last year.
I didn't even know that was a think you could do.
I didn't notice a thing. Kind of craft we had a player
named NAB ski, and he immediately threw one of those
things up and I was like, oh this is genius so cool.
You just hit it with a shovel and you just get snow for days.
Of course. I didn't realize like snow
golems are so useful for like dragon and fights also.
All right, have you seen winner makeup?
So if you make like, I don't know 30 snow golems in the end
Island when you're fighting the dragon.
Basically, they're just constantly throwing snowballs at
it. Men, so they all of the
intermittent or just so ticked off at the Snowman they don't
even bother messing with you. That's that's really cool.
So that kind of like luring them away.
Exactly keeping a busy over there while you fight the
dragon. Hmm.
That's very cool. That's very cool.
And of course now well in after this combat updates release
Snowballs will stack to 64 as well.
So you can get even more snow in those chests.
Yes, or you getting the In one year, so it's all going off.
Now if I think if you use silk touch you could actually get the
snow layer, but I don't because I think you have to turn that
into snowballs to make a snow block anyways.
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if this is
like a year ago. That was Charlie figg back.
We haven't even started like we literally just announced.
Hey, let's let's do some Christmas streaming.
We haven't even decided if we're going to the same place, which
I'm hoping we are because there's a lot of like room left
to be worked out over there. Yeah.
There's a lot we can do with that Jimbo put up a great fence
around it. That looks really cool.
I doubt like bricks and that and there's a lot of area still in
that in that section that we can use a method of using his design
for that fence it may because I liked it so much.
I saw that. Yeah, I was I was around the
other day looking at your base because I need to update the
intro of my episodes. So I was kind of looking for
areas, you know to take screenshots of to put in the
intro that I do I change that every five episodes.
So I need a new one now and I was kind of looking around the
bases and I was looking at around yours because you've just
done all that Landscaping over there.
Yeah, and now it kind of looks like I've been doing work the
season. Yeah, and I saw the fence
desired. I was like, oh that's for the
Christmas area. That looks really good here as
well. So yeah looking very nice.
Yeah, I used it on the backside for my tree farming area and
that area is just not it literally was for just chopping
trees and then I would needed a Too kind of Mark out where my
base ends and where regular Minecraft generation begins.
I was like, well, I used it back there and it looked good.
I'm just going to use it up here too.
And oh, yeah, it looks really cool really cool.
Yeah. So anyways, you found your
location, you know where you're going to build.
Where do you go from there? So first of all spawn proof, yes
that have creepers coming up to you blow it up.
So you Christmas build. So make sure you spawn proof and
it again it lit up. You got a big fence get yourself
a Jimbo. Yes, get yourself a Jimbo.
One of the things you got to remember is light melt snow.
Yeah, so You're one wanted to do is get that snow cone machine
going because you got it replace all the blocks with snow blocks.
Yeah, because otherwise it's going to melt those layers.
So but at the same time cross out, yeah, but at same time,
that's awesome. Because now you can do hidden
lighting which I am all for so you can hide some lighting
underneath like white carpet. I used iron trap doors every
once in a while. I don't think there's any other
white objects, you can really use now if it gets just those
just like I am trapdoors and they the white carpets probably
your best options on that definitely make some bushes in
height some lighting underneath. That's my favorite way to hide
lighting is bushes. Yeah.
Got some Redstone lamps may be on top of your fence.
If you can get a cool way of powering them from underneath
using a lever to hide the red stone.
Yeah get ours in daylight centered.
It does a lot of time we found a use for the daylight sensor.
So yeah, it's fine if it'll turn on and off when it's dark but it
will not tell you the correct time.
Now, it won't tell you know what it's dark but it's midday when
it's midnight. It was just go and here's a
random signal strength. It's black with oh and I go back
to I'm sure it's not random and I'm sure someone that much
smarter than me can dial it in but it's a come on marrying it
worked before. Oh, yeah, they'll be so maths to
it that we don't understand. Someone will probably play out
to us at this moment. Someone pushes their glasses
back and goes I've got this it's like guys I'm joining the
Discord and I'm going to tell you why you're wrong.
This is why does is dumb? Well, I'm sorry.
I'm not live streaming. So you can't hit the dirt button
to let me know. I'm dumb.
We need a we need a retrospective dirt, but what can
we do like My modes and Discord or something like that.
We just need like a was it the Palm to the face of my Duds
skin. Yeah, it's got that all that
like we could make Dad stopped again.
Please don't I'm losing brain cells by the day like the more
white hair. I find in my beard.
That's the more brain cells. I know have disappeared.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how that works.
It's a a school of the bed you get the bride cells back.
If you do that. Let's use a Sharpie.
It's just gonna say I need a Sharpie forget hair.
Dye Sharpies. Yes, it had eyes expensive.
Well, it's off a Sharpie. Then you get into the mustache
part and you start coloring it in and then you inhale too much
Sharpie. So you just pass out.
Awesome sleep for a bit kids. Do not inhale Sharpies.
Don't do that. We don't want to be held
responsible. And I was just sitting there
thinking like well, they're not going to take me seriously
because no one takes me seriously and then I was like, I
better make sure they don't take me seriously.
Do not inhale Sharpies. It's this climate.
I'm looking for someone to record that with the end.
The weathering effect is not responsible for your stupidity.
Yeah, that will be in the show notes.
Okay Baxter back to Christmas builds.
I want to say I did well this goes under fun games to I built
secret santa. Basically the last two times I
did a Christmas Village that was really fun doing this because
they could Asana. Yeah.
The only problem is every time we've done secret Santa at least
for me is always been like in the middle of the season.
So everyone's worried here doubt.
It's kind of like what do you get people about point?
I think I have everything I have old.
Full diamond Enchanted armor, they've got analyte ra they've
got tridents which are useless the cut crossbows.
They've got all this stuff. So what do you get people and
yours was perfect last year because it was Ashoka box full
of gold and carrots and I think I made that last until April so
everybody needs food. Exactly.
It's a consumable, you know, it's something that you need all
the time. So definitely a Left and I had
an idea for Secret Santa this year and I need to talk to the
server maze to see if they'd be up for it.
But in like instead of getting gifts for people like maybe
doing collabs with people. So you do the normal secret
Santa and whoever you get like you try to do a collab with
them. Mmm.
So that way everyone would have liked to co.labs with other
people and kind of I mean, it's the season to be playing
together to so why not? Play together and do cool apps
or whatever. Yeah, it's kind of like how
decoy did his sort of doorbell service?
Why he do you a doorbell and then you did like a build or
something for him. So for DK I did the potion
brewing machine. Yeah, so that kind of thing
where you could like work on something together or kind of
like do something for each other rather than just giving Michelle
could box full of stuff. I just realized that he never
had me do anything for the doorbell.
Oh, he installed in my shop decoy count on it message isn't
well, if you guys don't know decoy does his single player
world all I never did and it's a very fun episodes.
So chill series to watch as well.
You can just sit back, right so nice hot chocolate and just
watch it. It's really cool.
But he was just getting into that at the point.
I requested a doorbell. Uh-huh.
So he's been on there the entire time he's not really been on the
server. So he hasn't eaten anything
built. Maybe I'll go build one of those
famous Ikea chairs for him because he needs help with that
clear. Yeah.
Clearly, I don't want to do that.
Last time I did that. He just put chairs all over my
my babies. Yeah.
It was well, it shows that he's learned, you know, he's just
showing off his skills. Yeah.
Look what I can do. Okay.
So what are some other things to build and yeah back to like what
we did last year. So we had a big Marlo built like
a big snow globe with like a Christmas house inside it.
That was really cool. So this big glass Dome and I
want to say that went up in like four hours.
Yeah. I want to see my God for lunch
and came back and there was a snow.
Yeah it was Bear yeah, Bala wasn't even up.
Yeah. No, I never saw him.
He got it. He never was on when I was on
and then when I got on he was already off again, so it's just
like who built the snow coat roulette ball.
Oh, it's like wet. Let's do this.
Okay. So Barlow's obviously freaking
Santa he's got tons of elves helping him.
Yeah, definitely definitely and so you've got that you've got
obviously the thing that I built last year the Christmas tree
with the custom heads the different colored like Bobble
kind of heads that you can put on So You people's Your Greens
yellows pop those on there to look like bubbles and you've got
and just remember this though. Jimbo's snow bad.
Oh, yeah, and if his giant head on it, it's just gonna lead to
no prank that lash over the fish and He has tried in what was
that? Even about Jimbo at some point?
I think Mitch mentioned fish sticks.
Oh, yeah fish sticks. That is a I think he was just
saying something weird how like I'll randomly yell out or fruit
or something. Yeah, like I'll say bananas or
I'll go potato and I think Jimbo just kind of went fish sticks
and I was like, okay you want to play my game.
I'm noticing that down fish sticks.
I'm going to use that. It's a butt.
You cannot use my own sayings against me.
Yeah, that that snowman was perfect tho his head fit
perfectly. It's until moms had yeah, so I
removed prank January 1st. So you remove most of the pranks
to be fair? Yeah.
Well, I mean I thought me and Bank did prank surmise as kind
of our Christmas livestream, which I thought was hilarious at
the time, but I didn't want anyone to feel forced to have to
clean up a prank. So I think I got to just about
everyone's I'm trying to think I think Omni definitely did not
let my prank stand for very long.
I took mine down as part of Taking down the the bunny that
Jimbo and off after somebody. I'm not saying who somebody
killed some rabbits definitely wasn't me but I got blamed for
it. So, yeah, the only thing I've
been calling around the server have been cats and that's
because I'm gonna put a ton of them in my base in the walls and
ocelots under the ground. Yeah.
That's what I always found that funny because he didnt realize I
have friendly creatures sounds off because at the time I was
building the gold farm, so I didn't want to hear the
Minecarts non-stop. Yeah, so I just turned it on so
he's putting all these cats around the base and I didn't
realize it till like a week later baked comes over and goes
did you get a cat? This cat's a kid?
You don't have them? I don't know.
Yeah. And then one day a magical chest
appeared in the most random spot on my face and I was like hmm.
I don't think so. So I stood like on the chest or
next to the chest put down a bucket of lava.
So it went all around it and sure enough.
As soon as I opened the chest it was trapped chest and all these
cats come springing out but they sprung out through the lava.
So I'm just shooting fire cats the year.
It was a terrific same as well as being extremely Really
hilarious. So those who love Minecraft
cats. I'm sorry.
This was before the great cat custom pack design.
So no jellies were hurt in the filming.
Yeah, that was even before cats that was ocelots.
Wasn't it? Because now the two separate
things only ocelots and cats, I think.
I believe it was still where you had to breed ocelots to make a
cat. But yeah, they're definitely two
different things now. Cool, cool.
I think the thing that I loved most about our Christmas Village
was your zombie snowball fight with the iron golem with the
angles with the snow golems. I love that thing and I can't
take any credit for that. I watched Tango and impulse
build that one year and I thought that was the greatest
thing I had ever seen and so me and make a political.
Yeah, we built that two years in a row, I think each time.
Slowly perfected their design because while it was good it
still had a couple flaws or whatever.
So you cheer I think it's gotten better and better and I
guarantee you I could walk over there and that thing would still
be working. I mean his I was that I was over
the other day and it's looking around the Christmas Village and
it's still going the still there having a snowball fight.
Yes, you know the last nearly a year.
They've been having a snowball fight.
They must be tired. Third what's your definition of
Cold War? These guys are throwing
snowballs for a year? Yeah.
Yeah guys. Yeah.
I'm trying to think if I did an episode on that or if it was
just a live stream. I think he showed it off in an
episode. Thank you kind of went round the
Christmas Village and kind of like looked at everything.
Yeah, but it was definitely it was a livestream project though.
Yeah. Yeah makes sense of something.
How do I probably build a secret Santa on?
An episode and then during the episode showed off the village
and that's tough. I know you uploaded the
livestream Replay for that one. Yeah, so you can go watch Duds
and Bank build the zombie snowball fight if you want to go
and watch that are free and a half hour live stream of them
doing it. Those are whenever we have to
get mobs those livestream seemed to take forever because you will
like snow golems add zombies. This is going to take a while.
Yes why I think that was at a time where they had just changed
the rules for pumpkins. We're sure if you had to Shear
the pumpkin. Oh, yeah, I want to say I
remember putting a pumpkin on a snow golem going.
What the heck? Why doesn't this work?
It should work. I could have swear.
I remember Omni walking over with shears and just clip and
then boom Snow Golem. It's like, I don't think that
was an episode. I think I was just messing
around and he understood why I was trying a lot staring
goodness that would pumpkin. Tower to staring at like what
kind think out I think it was odd because Omni was in that
area a lot but so is Jimbo hmm because both of them were
grinding out ridiculous builds. Well, we got an igloo is also a
fun Christmas build. Yeah, you can put like a nice
fire in there some nice seating and stuff and have yourself a
little Igloo because our igloos sort of in the middle of a
frozen lake where we have armor stands with our heads on and
with with like colored leather armor on it kind of like like
the skating around the ice ring around.
On the igloo, that's really cool as well.
Hmm, you've got fun games down. Yeah, so we talked about secret
santa, but I don't think there's anything yeah, I mean I can do
like actual snowball fights instead of doing a snow golem
snowball fight. You could actually throw the
snowballs at each other and with the fact that snowball is going
to stack to 64 now. That should become a little bit
more fun. Yeah.
It makes it a lot easier when it's 16.
It's just like you just run out too quickly.
So yes, it's for your entire hotbars stacks of snowballs.
Entire inventory is just full of them.
So I had to create a creeper comes up to you.
Like I've got hit with snowballs with a got nothing else to be
inventory. So yeah, but we have dressed up
and so make yourself some Christmas skins.
Luckily. We have linked who made I think
all of us Christmas skins last year.
I want to say not mine. Not yours, right because so that
was one thing I really wanted to race this season was changing my
skin. In for certain occasions, so I
made my own Christmas skin before she got to make a skin
for me. Okay?
Okay, so I need that reminds me. I need to put mine on now now,
it's December. I don't need to do this exact
same engine record yesterday. Yeah, literally guys, what do
you watch my next episode? You'll know when I've changed my
skin. You'll know when we're this
episode's been recorded because the next clip you'll see is me
my skin and I'm not even gonna mention it just gonna change my
skin halfway through the episode just not mention it just feel
like though, it's fine. Was it this is I need to figure
out do I want to use the Skinner's last year, or do I
want to update my skin this year?
I say that I really shouldn't because that episode that
scripted has so many skin changes in it.
You don't really want anymore. No, like I think I'm redoing.
I like iron armor or chainmail armor to look completely
different to get the effect. I want.
Yeah. It's like yeah, it's like do I
really want to make another skin that I don't need to if this
episode never happens towards your Big Tease bam.
I am the biggest tease because I keep talking about these books.
I'm trying to write which again I haven't put a single page or a
single word on a page. It's just basically still in the
planning stages. But when I have an idea, it's
always a big idea that it's going to take forever.
Love it. Love it.
I love it too until I realized crap.
This is so much work now. I've got to work for this touch
Lee happens if you find Fine if I was like a full-time YouTuber
I'm talking like this episode would be done in two three days.
Yeah, but because I have to go to work work out come home.
Just like I'm so tired. I don't want to do this.
You just want to sit back and go I just think I did this guy.
Yeah. Can I just make the ideas?
I don't do things. I just called with ideas and of
a people don't ya this is the best way to live.
I think they call that executive producer in Hollywood.
Yep, just just become an executive least attract guys.
I have this idea. Yeah, and I'd like you to run
with it come back to me when it's finished.
We're gonna be like 40 crew members will see I want to say
the last season economy craft. I had an idea for a Batman
episode because I was sitting there I was like, I'm Batman
like all the time exactly it so I was going to do a battement up
so I even had decoy. Ready to write music for it.
And then when I was going through the tests some of this
the shots and stuff. It wasn't working out correctly.
Like it looked really dumb. Yeah, it's always just like
we're going to ditch that. It looks so much better in my
head. It really did.
So that's why I like now. I'm like, all right, if I want
to do what I wanted to do for the Batman episode.
I need to figure out green screens and stuff and it's like
and mainly or and mainly the green screens are so I don't
have to build ginormous. It's in Minecraft like redo all
the terrain behind it everything like that.
I can like here's the front part of this set and then giant green
screen behind it. Yeah, that's what they do in
Hollywood. Exactly.
Just take it from the pros. You know, this is how you make
film. That's one of my favorite
things. So if I watch a movie in the
theaters that I really liked it I buy the Blu-ray or DVD or
whatever it is, but I don't buy it for the movie.
I buy it. For the behind-the-scenes
special features. Yeah, I would much rather have
the digital copy if I'm going to buy something.
Yeah. Usually the digital copy is more
expensive than the DVD which I don't understand because there's
no physical media was because they released a digital copy two
weeks early. Yeah, so they that's how they
get you like. All right, so it have to say
exactly but it's like 10 pounds more expensive.
No, but it's just a file on a server exactly.
I know how this works. Let's doesn't cost that much.
I understand technology. Yeah, I'm sure that guy spent
all of 10 minutes putting that video up for sale.
Yeah, you don't have to make a disc put it on the desk make the
art print they are put it all together ship it to a store pay
someone to put it on a shelf, you know.
Yeah, that guy's just sitting there going.
Okay. Here's the MP4 in he's going.
Oh that art that's in the DVD. I'm just going to grab the
digital copy put that in a file drop the jpeg exactly some guys
actually doing that and we're like getting onto him.
He's like that's my careers work.
You guys are making fun of that kind of energized by making
we're not making fun of the job. You do were making fun of the
fact that we have to pay $10 more for it.
Yeah, let's not leave. It was the same price.
That yeah, I could sort of understand but it should really
be less. It really should that's just
there's Carl's rant for the day guys.
That's fine. Yeah, I wasn't plotted on
rabbit. But you know that really set me
off. I know I mean every time someone
gets on the podcast. It's like something takes over
in your like I am now an angry person.
Yeah now me to rant about this. I swear we're not angry.
It's just when the microphone is on I have to destroy something.
The ramps I cut out of my episodes guys that you'll never
see. It's just the bike the bike that
does it. I had this idea for like a
little scared. Basically there was an episode
of common craft. I was doing something with TNT
and which is the worst idea in the world don't ever do it.
I think I was trying to do one of those TNT duper's.
Yeah. I had to do that for my tree
farm. Mmm, and I didn't realize that
it has two point. Specific Direction.
Yeah, and I only realized this after the first attempt to
building it after I've blown it up twice.
We'll see how was blowing myself up with it.
Luckily. I didn't do that.
But yeah, so it's like, oh I should just put like a funny
role of this. I like the end of the episodes
mind you guys you should always watch the end of my episodes.
It doesn't happen a lot. But when there's something
stupid or funny I always put it at the very end of the episode.
And so yeah, you got to go through the credits and
everything. Yeah.
I was like I'll do this because I blew up like four or five
times. I was like, I just put that
together, but the only problem it was just basically me cursing
the entire time. I was like, I can't use that I
need to get call to bleep all of this for me.
Well, this was before we had a Carro so I had to bleep all of
it and I was just like that's too much.
Yeah, but it would literally just be for a good four minutes
the entire clip just replace all the audio with music at this
point. I thought about doing that too,
but it just makes the outro weird.
I just feel like what was this made?
I don't understand. This is music and some guy just
like blowing himself up. Crazy crazy.
Yeah, so we have one more item on our list for Christmas.
I live stream days. Yes, which I know hermitcraft
are doing to this month. But there's we've well a few
hours ago. We said should we do a
livestream day. We'll see here's the thing.
I've been wanting to mention the livestream day, but I have been
purposely waiting for hermitcraft because the last two
times we've tried to do a live stream.
Day, it's somehow managed to be on the same day as hermit crab
in like they're not mentioning that they're going to do a live
stream day. We're barely mentioning we're
going to do a live stream day. And if somehow they always ended
up on the same days, you can say it don'ts the stealing all days.
You can sign up. Go ahead.
I know we came out like three hours before them and mentioned
it. Yeah that it was like oh side.
I saved a guy's gotta keep the little guys down.
So that should just that there's not a single Of hermitcraft
member that's paying attention to us.
They do not know who we are exactly the like it would these
people what's this podcast? What is it?
What what? Yeah, I think that doing those
on Sundays though, and we usually do hours on Saturday.
So it shouldn't be a problem. Yeah.
I wanted to make sure that we kind of knew when they were
going to be doing theirs. So we didn't end up doing on the
same day again, which yeah, like you said, they're doing theirs
on Sunday. So I was really excited about
that. Yeah, I think it's the 8th from
the 15th. They're doing this.
So hopefully we can get a Saturday live-streamed a setup
maybe before there's maybe the week after we'll see we need to
have some discussions internally about when we can get people
available for that but it should happen.
Hopefully fingers cross fingers crossed that I think that's kind
of it. We went way longer than I
thought we were going to add though.
Right? I looked at that topic at wed we
can Not talk about that for more than 10 minutes guys.
This is literally what happens before every podcast.
Holy crap how we're going to talk about that for an hour.
That's not going to happen. We need to come up with backup
topics. Yeah who needs to have stuff
sitting in the wings ready to go?
We don't have any of that this episode was he this is where the
rants come in handy because like when we have a low topic and I
feel a rant coming on. I just let it come out.
Let's go with that. Yeah, let's just rant.
We're so dysfunctional as a podcast but it works.
So wow. I'm hoping I'm waiting for the
time for someone to join the Discord just to be like you guys
stop ranting and talk about Minecraft.
Yeah, it's like guys this is a Minecraft podcast.
I don't know if you've noticed I would it's in the title.
You guys should know what you're doing.
I don't even know how to play Minecraft successfully.
So Josh is there. I Wing everything guys we've
never actually played Minecraft. All those YouTube videos.
I've been making for two years. Don't pay attention to those.
Yeah, it's not awesome stuff. It's definitely schwabe playing
for me and I just talked over his shoulder.
We have a team. That's a conspiracy very fun.
Yes. I've still some of Marlo's
Little Helpers that he used to build a snow globe.
I stole one of them and now he's playing Minecraft for me.
Yeah. We don't even we don't even have
computers. No recording this in my car, if
we recall this on tape and that we send it to Anchor by the
post. They put it up for us great.
Quran. I need to sound effect of just
the tape exiting the other role so it's just going to okay.
