Episode description

In this episode, DuDs and Jimbo discuss snapshot 21w40a for Minecraft 1.18, Caves & Cliffs, which includes a range of world generation tweaks and more changes to mob spawning. Plus, we ran a poll on Spotify to find out what our listeners think Minecraft 1.19 will be and the response didn't surprise us, but we have to disagree. We also asked 'What's your favourite thing about Minecraft Dungeons?' and got some good responses from The Labseor and Blackhole Nerd. Also, DuDs and Jimbo discuss their 'gimme' prediction for Minecraft Live, predictions for what the theme could be for Minecraft 1.19, and a 'where did that come from?' wildcard prediction.

Transcript

Everyone welcome to the withering effect episode 116. Holy cow. That's a lot of episodes. Today's date is October, 10, 20, 21 and I am Duds are duds versus known to the rescue and webs name Jimbo. You may know me as Jimbo slice. 23. I'm out of here. I just carried a case of water up the stairs. We started the show. So, let's get into what you've done this week Duds. I've done a lot and not a lot, the same time that makes sense. It's all been my own survival stuff.

I've been so hooked on this world lately, I was supposed to jump back to ripple effect. I was on the server for maybe like five or ten minutes, and I went there, the creative juices aren't flowing, and I jump back into the Mi entire world because that's the only place. It's my thought process was, and I've been building. I built a like full-on like Plateau Island to house another portal, and it looks so good. I'm so happy with how it came out.

I was struggling a little bit on designing another portal. Mmm. So, I started doing some Googling and I kept coming back to this one image by a YouTube Creator name voxel. And so I basically use their design and Just instead of detailing and how they detailed. It, took everything from my world that I've been using, like, stripped Oak. Planks leaves, will less flags and then just detailed at how my world.

So if you look at my build and their build, you can see little parts that look the same but the portal itself overall looks completely different, but they had a great design and I was super happy to throw it out there and they're tutorial for it. Is super easy to follow took me like five minutes to build it which was great, nice. But I'm doing all, I'm doing all this because I'm resetting my nether. I never reset the nether for this world. Yeah, this is in 115, right?

He last played the last time I played. It was 115. It's in 117 one now. Oh and I had a Wandering Trader show up. This is like my second or third wandering Trader in this world total carrying drip leaf. Wow, I got super excited. I ran inside. Grab my emeralds was like the ice cream, man was. Yeah, it's a good reference. Yeah. So I got, since I got some drip leaf and then I went to decorate, the surrounding area of the portal. When I went man, Moss, blocks

would be really nice here. How do I get moss blocks again? And then, after about 30 minutes ago in, I have no clue how to get must blocks. Like I'm so hooked on will Lush. Caves won't come out until December and that's where you get most blocks and then I went ahead and Googled it. Let me tell you and yeah I forgot it's in shipwrecks. Yeah. I slap myself with a head is

like oh come on man. And then the best part about this world is it's still relatively new for a lot of the terrain because I didn't do it a ton of exploring hmm I would just kind of go to a destination and come back. So all I had to do was throw my lighter on and fly like maybe 300 blocks and find a shipwreck. There were, there were three shipwrecks in this one ocean area and on the third shipwreck, I found my first Mas block and that's all you need.

That's all I needed. You can duplicate that like crazy. Hmm, I'm pretty sure I'm going to come up with a moss Farm here in the next episode or so. Oh, cool. Just because the bone meal generation that comes from it. Mmm, that means that I do have a skeleton grind, or not a grinder. But a skeleton spawner somewhere on my Island. I can't remember where I've never set up a grinder for it. I probably should have. Yeah, good take advantage of that. Yeah, well, I was hoping I had a

zombie grinder for once. I was hoping for, I keep saying Grinders zombie spawner because I was like, I can easily convert that into a copper farm and I'm not a big copper Builder but it might be useful to have Copper at some point. So I don't need a huge farm. So to convert a zombie spawner to Copper grinder would be really good, but I don't have a zombie grinder near me. That does sound like a fun Asset something. I'd like to do eventually. Mmm. I mean, you'll get all the

zombie drops plus copper. So why not convert it? Yeah. If you don't need a lot, that seems to be the good way to go. If you're needing a ton of it, you're going to need a bigger Farm. But yeah, I'm not building copper roofs. I've never liked the look of copper roofs for some reason. I like the look of using copper as a back. Placed detail block or lightning rods. Yeah. I feel like roofs roof sir. Where People use them the most. Yeah, no use warped wood in dark

prison rain. That looks way better. Mmm. I agree. But there are probably people saying no coppers, awesome, leave it alone that dissing copper it's just I don't mind it. I decided really. Haven't used it the same no planes for it, really? Yeah, but other than that I've been doing live stream again. I think Friday nights at 7:30 is going to be my my new time.

People seem to be liking that. Not the greatest time for some people but it's nice to come home from work have dinner and then kind of relax in a live stream and grind out stuff. We went ancient debris hunting, that didn't go. Well, two and a half hours. I got 11, ancient debris. Mmm Ruff. Hopefully twitch notifies people that you're streaming because I didn't get notified. I had no idea. Yeah. And the best part is I made fun of Carl's bot earlier, because

it didn't post. That I was live streaming in the Discord. Mmm, Carlos, bought being stupid and stuff. And it turns out it was because Twitches API was busy. So that's probably why you didn't get notified either. They were too busy. Promoting their big streamers to worry about me. Hmm, probably, hmm. But that's kind of been it for miweek. What you been up to have you been playing Minecraft? I have do not touch this.

Actually I just started jumping on the editing yesterday I got Bunch of Clips done and replay mod. And I noticed I went in my spectator account and did my replay mod stuff. I'm trying to gather things around the base and clips to start my intro and the replay mod with my spectator count. It wasn't generating any mobs. Maybe I was too far away. I'm actually I'm sure that's it.

I'm just too far away from the things that generate so had to go in with my player and gather this Clips up again and I got all my Clips, get everything ready. I even I updated my editing software and I went in, I got my music and I put my Clips together and everything looked like it was going smooth just the way I wanted it. Mmm. And then I noticed that the new editing software that I updated, is like a completely different

software. It's hitfilm Pro. Yeah, I was using hitfilm for pro and now it's just hit film Pro. So I was like, okay, you know, Just update it, you know, put in my name and password now, I should be able to get this version know. You got to pay for this new version. Yep. Yeah. Gave me the option to go back to hit film for where I could use it. So go back to hit film for get my editing software ready to go. You know, let's just move my editing over to hit film for can't do that.

It's incompatible with hit film it film for pro. So the new version that I edited everything anything with I couldn't export it, there is like some kind of Watermark and some kind of noise in the background to where you can't even export from hitfilm Pro. So I lost all the editing that I did from last night because it would not, I couldn't retrieve it. I couldn't move hit film Pro over to hit film for so it wouldn't even bring up the editing that I did. So it's gone for Now, but it

wasn't a lot. Only did like a few minutes of the intro so it shouldn't be too hard to get back. Yeah, another another setback for me, but again, I have it all where I want it. I can always open up both programs. I still have both programs to where, you know, I can put all my settings, the way it needs to be in the new or the older version of hitfilm. But yeah, besides that, that's about it.

You know, I'm trying to work on this episode, without any more issues editing software can be crazy. I use Sony platinum as my editing software and I had bought it five or six years ago when it was on sale for like 40 bucks. And I've never updated it because because of that. Yeah, better not. No, I did messing with that worries. Me. Yeah, it was before even started editing as a cool new version, lets up.

Eight, you know, why wouldn't I? And yeah, I should have noticed or researched a little bit before I went ahead and edited all the clips that I had and realized, I couldn't export it because I would, you know, I got my intro writing. I'm like, let's see what this looks like. So I exported it, it has a watermark in the background noise I was like, you got to be kidding me? Mmm. Yeah, hopefully, I can get around that. Yeah, those aren't for you because you're having a lot of issues.

Issues just putting an episode out. Mmm. Yeah, I got the you know, I got the the will to go back in there and start editing. I was like I'm going to sit down imma put these clips together. It took a while just to get the clips, you know, certain spots. I had to AFK to get certain views and clips, you know, the sunrise and everything I needed all that. Yeah, and yeah, wasn't able to put it together yet. I mean, if anything, I hear great things about DaVinci Resolve and it's free. Yeah.

I have heard about that. That might be something if you're wanting to learn a new software all over again. I'm gonna stick with the hit film for Pro or now do we want to go ahead and jump into the snapshot? Yeah, good new snapshot. Yeah. So we got 21w for a and there were changes. Both, me and Jimbo are disagreeing on the amount of talkable situations in this one. Hmm. I'm saying there. There's not going to be a ton of

talk about Jimbo things. We're going to have a good bit to talk about, so we'll See ya, but let's start with the rear a ton of biomes removed from the world, right? And renamed. If that makes sense. Mmm, but they didn't physically take the biomes out, they just kind of renamed them. Why? I don't know. It did create a shorter list of biomes so that could be one reason. I think I have another reason but I'm gonna save it for later. Okay. Why I think they took some

biomes out and stuff? But yeah a lot of them seem to be Renamed like for instance what the shattered Savannah is now called like the wind something. Savannah, Windswept Windswept Savannah. Yeah, it's pretty much shattered. Savannah. Do you see a good bit of those? Yeah, they didn't list the names. You can go find them. There's a lot of. Yeah, there was a good bit. Mmm, some of the simple changes were Stone Shore, turn to Stony Shore.

Yeah, don't know why, that had to be renamed, but sure. Sure just had to do it. I just had to do it man. Hmm, But why was getting on me? Yeah, didn't like it. Yeah, there were some changes to mob spawning. We knew this was Comin. Like ox. Laterals are going to have a different spawning mechanic. They're going to be in there Lush caves now, and instead of needing Stone and such it's going to need, was it clay? I love the amount of clay. We're going to get in Lush

caves. Yeah I really I really like that. I'm sitting here, like, I've been wanting to build with some I can stuff like my entire storage room. Floor is Brick and granite and I don't have villager trading setup which like I do and ripple. That's how I get all my bricks and ripple is trading through the villagers or we have, we had the data pack for, was it silverfish would drop clay balls? Right? Mmm. Yeah, it's going to mention

that. Yeah, that's how we were doing it early in the time when I don't have any of that. So I'm having to like, go dig in the water. It's tough to try to find some clay. So the amount of clay we're going to get and Lush. Caves is going to Be nice. Yeah. You should be able to fill up shulker boxes like that's how much clay there is. It looks like there is a super excited for that. We got the glow squids are going to get their spawning changed and stuff and it's not really

that much. It's just under why 30? Yep, they just lowered it. They're just going to start spawning. I didn't see anything about light levels having to be super dark anymore. It's supposed to be zero for the axolotls not too sure about the glow squid. I imagine it's the same. Yeah, I'd assume it's the same like that was one of the Big spawning mechanics that you want. But my glow squid form, remember how I built it in an ocean.

So I have the problem with pufferfish constantly spawning in there and killing my Ox Allah tells. Yeah, that's getting fixed with this update. This snapshot fixes that the tropical fish and stuff will only spawn between like height 50 to 64. Mmm, so no more puffer fish spawning, in my glow squid tank down there. Have been some we're resetting the World by the time this comes out. Anyways, Ways you might find some tropical fish though. Popping up in Lusk caves. Hopefully right?

You don't plan on putting your glow squid Farm in that type of biome but tropical fish won't kill my axolotls because pufferfish are considered different from tropical fish. Okay. Yeah we'll be good there zombies are now back in dripstone caves I kind of liked the fact a zombies can spawn and dripstone caves and that it was only drowned me. That was kind of cool.

I mean, it didn't make a ton of sense, but it was kind of a cool Quark. Hmm, maybe, yeah, like the fact that certain mobs spawn in certain biomes, you know, I write like that. Yeah. It's is one of those things I've always done the, I don't want to have to go somewhere to make a farm. I'd rather build it near my base and stuff, but then you get stuff like this. It's like, yeah, that's kind of cool mob spawning out of the ring, Comes Fun. Digging. Digging for crystals snot me.

I agree there. One change. I'm not too happy about. Is that goats no longer spawn in Stony Peaks? Yeah, I don't get it. I just I don't get it. Maybe there are no goats on the real-life region. That's Tony Peaks is trying to mock maybe or represent it probably a better way to say it. Maybe they want them in more like a snowy area instead of me Stoney. I don't know. Like, you know that, that elevations, why not? I did find goats in my single player world, that was cool.

The screamer you screaming goat? I don't know, because I have friendly creature sounds off but I just flew up to him like oh yeah, a goat. And then went looking for my mom's block again. Mmm. Yeah, unless it's like a screaming goat. It's not, they're not all that. Interesting. Yeah, well it's just another idea. I can have a project building having goats wander around Or something like that. Yeah, really. They don't have any farming purposes so they would mainly be

a decoration mob. Mmm. Yeah, let's get into some World Jin stuff and guys, they tweaked to or generation again. What. Sexy? Good change. Yeah, they it's good change again. Not sure how great we're going to be able to explain it without visual help. Mmm. But we'll try more exposed diamonds is kind of the Big water or a lot of people. Yeah, that's a good one iron. Or generate some. More the higher up in the world you go. I think it's the same with emeralds, right? Yeah, emeralds.

Also it's kind of like the two that you can Farm super easily or is iron and emeralds now and think Hmm I still think you need the mountain biomes to get the emeralds oh yeah yeah gold generate a lot more in the - wise - why 48. Hmm I must have missed it. Get you. Get you some more gold, which means it's probably going to be like, deep slight gold. Yeah, I really like the Deep slate or textures. They are very pretty me too and the fact that, you know, it generates so much below.

Why? Level zero. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We're going to see a lot of that. The ones we're playing with now, you know, 117 one, you only get a little bit right down to zero. There's not much of those but they are cool looking. It's our, it's kind of hard to see the coal generation though with the Beeps late. Yeah, if you're if you're one of those people who just goes around in the dark, they don't light up where they're mining.

Yeah. Cause a bit of a pain because the texture so dark and cols colas black. So kind of Blends in a little. The another thing that we were just talking about spawners, they've increased the amount of spawners in a world which I think it's a great change. I think especially below zero especially below zero like that. Zoom avoid was Showing it off in a video and to me that's a very welcome change. Yes, there are so many better ways to get XP then a spawner grinder.

So, they have these within the first week of basically, the played on SP or even enroll in a world. I think it only took me about a month or two before I got my Enderman XP farm up and running Grinders are Dare for Niche items. Like I built a spider grinder just because I It's string I want to dambe grinder just so I can get copper. I'm not looking for XP and

massive amounts or whatever. So the fact that I don't have one near me just means I'm not going to do it, I'm going to make a different Farm, but if there was one near me, it's like, okay, I'll take advantage of having that it's more for the drops right now, you know, I mean, there's a way better XP Farms out there than these Grinders. So I do have fun booking up a grinder and decorating. It specially now, we got tinted glass. Mmm, be a lot more fun. That was one thing I was looking

for. I was like, can I find a geode near a grinder? So I can be chilling out at a grinder. A of Kang it for drops, and also having this Geo grow some Crystal. So I can make tinted glass. Yeah, did not find any and I thought about that, but even though they increase the dungeons, they actually decreased Villages. They did, you're not going to find as many. Villages in the world and I'm okay with that. Well I don't think it's necessarily not as many. I think they're just more spread out.

Yeah. So you're not going to stumble across three of them in a short walk mmm you generate a flat world like you can see them soon as you generate. Yeah so I'm okay with that. I mean once you get to villagers you have infinite villagers so unless you like to loot Villages which you know there's really not much their beds tables. Mainly what I steal Bells a couple crops. The hay bales are really good at the beginning of the game. Hay Bales are really good. Yeah.

Underestimated those, I noticed I still don't have beetroot and my single player world. Good beetroot is one of my favorite decoration crops. Oh yeah, for landscaping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It as a food source, its Scrappy. But as a decoration block because it's vibrant red, It looks good, right? But what I'm considering the biggest change of the snapshot copper, or now drops to 25 pieces of copper instead of two to three, right. Which is that's that's huge.

And then when you craft a copper block and put it in the stone cutter and get for cut copper, not 14. I did know that so I got the feeling we're going to see a lot more cut copper being Used as a way to make up for the fact that we're losing out if by using regular copper. Yeah. And the cut copper is using the same texture as what is it called the / / stuff which I thought was a great texture. Just the color was not good.

That purple color. So seeing it on copper, the non oxidized copper to me is the best looking and I could use that more than probably anything else. Yeah, that's where I'm at. I do like the Original copper look than the oxidized it still wouldn't be like I'm going to build a full roof out of copper. That's not going to. I'm not going to ever do that but using copper on a wall and designer. Yeah that'd be nice.

Yeah I feel like the oxidized copper can go with a lot more color variations and the regular copper. Yeah but uh yeah I just think it's a little bit more unique think that's kind of it or on the news. Maybe Jimbo is right. We did have a good bit of Taco Bell. I think we got a good bit. It. Yeah, I'm one to admit when I was wrong and I was wrong. Good job Jimbo well. Thank you. Yeah, it's watching the new snapshot come out and I'm like cool. There's some interesting stuff. This time.

It's been pretty slow, you know, a lot of different generations and stuff. Some things you can't really elaborate on, but I'm glad they gave us a snapshot like this. We do have some big things coming out later this week. So, oh yeah, we'll have a lot more news coming. Six days away from Minecon. Yeah, I'm excited. Mmm. Okay. But before we move on to anything else, we actually switched up listener comments a bit this week. Normally The Listener comments come from our Discord this week.

They're coming from our Spotify page. Yeah, Carla had mentioned that we were able to ask questions and have you guys answered run poles and stuff. So we did that. Well, Carl did that? Let's give credit to Carl here. Yeah, and we decided to bring some questions over from there. Yeah. If you're listed on Spotify, feel Feel free to give us a question through Spotify. You're more than welcome. That being said some of these names are a bit different.

So if I pronounce some wrong, I am sorry, let us know the correct pronunciation pronunciation that sword and we'll get it fixed. But this one's from the lab see or this is one of those I was talking about, the question, we asked was what is your favorite thing about Minecraft dungeons? And they entered the interesting Mobs with cool tax. You can fight also I have a question. If you could create new weapons or armor for dungeons, what kind

of weapons would you want? Maybe a red dragon scale armor? I don't know, I don't really know. I was thinking about this tube and I haven't got to play with all the weapons and armor yet, so I'm really not sure. Like I might say something like a nun, chucks nunchucks would be that actually that actually might work out well in dungeons. The double handed weapons, like the size are my favorite

weapons. Anytime I get A leveled up sigh I basically dropped whatever primary weapon, I'm carrying at the time and use those just because I love how quick the double handed weapons are. Yeah, just running into an area and just as I mmm, it's awesome. You take some out pretty quick too. It's just, you have to be close range. It's the only issue. Yeah, yeah. Nunchucks I think would be cool, that's not in there. Like I'm pretty far in the game.

I have not come across any nunchucks and there's so many different versions of it DLCs. The where there could be, you know, down the road. I'm sure they have a bunch of weapons and armor set aside about armor, but they're be, I mean, they give us this armor that you've never hurt, like wolf armor, the armor and dungeons is so cool. Yeah, it's hard to think of what, what they're thinking of, you know, let alone make a new one. I would like a shield even though that would take away the

double sigh thing. So maybe like the red dragon scale Shield, just something that can do an a good knock back effect, okay? I don't think there's enough of that in dungeons. You get some good enchantments and good artifacts that can kind of do the same thing. But to be able to pinpoint, I want this mob to get knocked back a good distance so I can attack this. Other mom to me, would be really cool. Yeah, I didn't. I'd never really thought about it, but is there a way to block in dungeons?

I've not seen it. He's I've never done it. Yeah. It could just be that I'm really bad at the game because that that's also the thing. Yeah, I don't know all my buttons yet. There could be a block in there but yeah, Shield would be cool. I do like that maybe even use it as a weapon to like that. The next question is from black hole nerd. They State the amazing environment of design and mobs that supplemented. They also have a question. Do you think another dimension would help the game?

If so what are your ideas? First thing I could think of is like a deep dark DLC. Yeah, something like that. I think so. It seems like every DLC though, is its own new dimension. So as long as they're creating DLC, we're going to get New Dimensions. I think you might mean something that's less associated with the vanilla Minecraft game, okay? I don't really have any ideas.

I mean Sky Islands would be fun. I don't know how that would convert to the game but at the same time I'm with Jimbo deep dark deep dark and dungeons would be cool. Hmm, maybe have the Obstacle of the show. Sensors in skulk sensors. As a choker sensation, I know, I was like, I know bare shoulders in the deep dark, when did this happen and they censor? I don't know. I know better than that. We're looking forward to that deep dark. So why not bring it to dungeons?

I'm sure we're going to see it at some point. Yeah. There is a poll here from Spotify. Yeah. You go ahead and we asked, what do you think Minecraft? In will be pretty big question and most of the votes were and update 42%. Actually, mmm second is combat update and tied for third inventory, update and something else that is not on the list. We do have a little bit of oats for the biome update and small update with performance. That was pretty cool. Yeah, I hope it's not an end

update. No, no I wouldn't mind and update. Here's my problem with these updates. Everyone gets super excited for the nether update and I'll MIT I jumped on the excitement of the nether update train. I was all for it. Let's hype it up. They did so much cool stuff at the Nether and it is gorgeous now. Hmm, as someone who just went into his old mother from 115 searching for the 116 stuff to find some ancient debris before I reset the nether, the Stark difference of the area's is

crazy. At the same time, I go into The Nether. I get what I need and I get the heck out. I don't go exploring in another still. Yeah, it's actually more dangerous. Right? So it's, I that's the way I kind of feel. It's going to, I'm looking at the cave update. I'm going to go into case I'm gonna get what I need. I'm gonna get out and then I think that's what what's going to happen with the end update. I'm going to go into the end, get what I need to get out. Not going to do a lot of

exploring. I think why? I think you're going to go into the caves. You're gonna, you're gonna Be mesmerized, the first and then you're going to get lost just like I did when I played, I get so lost because there it's so big and so vast, like there's biomes everywhere. I the first thing I saw, I made a little place in the Overworld and I, uh, put my door on there. I was kind of, you know, in the side of a mountain and, you know, I go to dig into my mind. It's a like same routine.

I have, I looked out the door soon, as I built my door, put it down there. And I look out my door and there is a lush tree. Nautilus tree, azalea tree. I'm like, oh my God, there's an azalea tree. So there was a gigantic Lush cave below me and it was so open and so big. And it this is just gorgeous and I had to go down there and I was, I was probably down there for like three Minecraft days and I was lost but yeah, I could see after 34 weeks, and maybe a month.

Not going to be as interested as the first time. You go exploring down there, but it is really cool and you can easily get lost. Yeah, I don't know the easy to get lost second torches on the right man. Ha ha ha. There's so much right though. There's there's so much right that's when you bring out. Thus Compass, you place a block down with the torch on top, and then a torch on the side facing the direction. You need to travel that that probably the way. To go. Yeah but it's so big if you

place it on the right. Like it's so open, maybe, maybe the terrain on the right side isn't the way to travel, you know. It's I don't know, it's just weird and then there's just there's waterfalls everywhere. Lava Falls. And oh no it's not. I can't wait for you to see it. Once I saw it. I was like, man, why haven't I played the snapshot yet?

This is awesome. Yeah, there were thoughts instead of going back to my single player world, about opening a new Shot and playing there, but we know how that turned out. Yeah, it was, we're going to talk more about 119 coming up. Let's go ahead and move on a bit though. Okay, thank you guys for that those comments from, we're getting from the lab.

See were hoping I'm saying that right and black hole nerd, those were not taken from our Discord, Carl, not updating scripts, and they were from our spotter pie page. But if you do want to talk to us, our Discord, it's the only place we can talk to everyone who works. On the show. Easily, just take yd Whitey's word for it. Hey everyone.

I'm Whitey Whitey and I'm a member of the weather affect Discord. It's a great place to hang out with fellow list was like me, and the people who work on the show strong today, and let's discuss the game we love. There are links in the show notes. Thank you for the Discord. Add YT YT. And each week on the show, we mention a top three members have been earning XP and leveling up by participating in chat, excluding ourselves and our moderators.

And this week, our top three discs or members are third. We have kitty cat to Second vipers tuna. And first ski 3012. Felix key 3012 is in there every week. Mmm.

Thanks for being so active. Join in with chat on the Discord. You could be mentioned next week, speaking of the Discord to see, only place you can get involved in our mending Minecraft vote this week, we asked you to choose between one of three items for us to discuss and improve and your choices were the Spyglass item frame or Trident in the winner of mending Minecraft. This week is Trident. Not even close. Yeah, that was an easy one. Trident had 44 votes. Mmm. That's a lot.

Spyglass with 11 and item frame with 20. So few things on the Trident tried it is a weapon used in both melee and range combat and is a rare drop from a drowned. They cannot be crafted. Only natural spawn drowned can spawn with a trident and have a chance of dropping one in Java addition to It helped by a drowned has a chance to be enchanted, but the tridents enchantment have no effects for the drown. A melee attack with the Trident deals, four and a half hearts of damage.

While the range attack is only four Hearts durability is 250 and there are four Trident only enchantments which is impaling, loyalty, Riptide and channeling. Now impaling does more damage to underwater mobs. There's five different levels to it. It right loyalty allows the Trident to come back to the Players Once you throw a trident kind of you know, whatever it sticks to its, where it stays Riptide, allows you inside of water or rain, you could shoot

through the air. It's like another way of travel. Mmm. It's pretty cool. Do you like a spinning motion and channeling allows you to strike an enemy or anything with lightning? When throwing the tried it? Pretty cool and loyalty. And Side can't be combined their separate from each other but that's about it for the tried. Yeah, so the thing about the Trident is for me, it's not a weapon. Okay, it's a tool it if you want to call it a weapon.

It's basically the Bane of Arthropods enchantment and weapon form. Ooh, it has a very specific Niche and if you're not using for it for that is garbage. Okay? It just doesn't do enough damage to Warrant it being used for anything other than Attacking things in the water. Mmm. And I'm sure that's exactly what Mojang wants it to be. But no. Oh, and again, the Trident doesn't affect drowned like the impaling.

Enchantment write-ups. You fight water mobs, but not drown because it's an undead Bob. So it's not going to work against them, so it's a basically, a guardian attack tool. Yeah. You're not going to use it for fishing, you know, anything could write kill fish, I think your fist good. So it's basically a tool to create charge creepers or launch yourself out of the water to use

your lunch tray. Yeah, those are the funnest Parts. It's the best parts of Elijah, and don't get me wrong, chanting, on a trident with loyalty would be, it's awesome. Being able to call lightning out of the, a sky is just great. Yeah, Riptide is super fun to play with for a while it is, but if I need to attack something, I have a trident in my hand, no put it down. Down. I mean, there are people who don't even use swords to fight mobs anymore because the axe is

so powerful. Hmm. And I think that's the big problem with Mojang is that they're very good at balancing and overall game, but when it comes to weapons and tools and stuff, it's very skewed. And that's why I'm hoping we know Jeb's doing a combat update. We haven't heard about it for a long time. Hoping it kind of addresses part of this. Hmm, in a way to fix the trident. It needs to hit harder, man.

Yeah, it needs to hit hard, hard, hard, mainly, because the second you throw it. Even if you have loyalty on it, you gotta wait to get it back and then you got a charge, it up to throw it again. Yeah. So for it to do such as little damage as it does and to have such a short amount of or have such a long amount of time to fire. It's like the crossbow. It's just not worth it, not worth you. At all and God forbid you throw it in the end and throw it into

the void because then it's gone. Chef not coming back, not coming back. No be waiting forever. Yeah yeah the easiest fixes just make it harder. Hmm. Nothing crazy about that. If you don't want just to do that maybe make it where there's an enchantment. That allows it to hit super hard like an axe, but you're not allowed to throw it. So it's just basically a spear you poke things with and I'd be okay. Okay, with that too. But to try to, it's not a weapon.

It's a tool to tool for summoning, lightning and flinging yourself around in the water. Yeah, I also want to throw out there, kind of want to try to kill her but that's not so much to do with the Trident as it is, you do with other mechanics of the game. So I didn't really bring that in here. Yeah, yeah. Like to see, maybe more enchantments, something to maybe. Yeah. Maybe like a featherweight Trident to where you could just throw it and it'll come back to you faster. Maybe a throat.

Like, it's almost like a It, you know, that would be a great thing. Mmm loyalty is cool but because of the amount of time it sometimes takes to come back. Hmm. I could probably reload a crossbow before the tried. It comes back. Yeah. Maybe what's that enchantment on the crossbow piercing supercharged? Oh, okay. Yeah. Go you soon. Where are you? It's quick. Yeah, something like that, though. It is. It is a lot faster to throw a trident than it is like a bow.

Then to pull back a bow or crossbow. That's what the wiki says. Said, but again, you got to wait for it to return one. Other thing is, there's a lot of waiting with the Trident, so you want to summon lightning, you got to wait for a thunderstorm. Yeah. Oh, you want a fling yourself out of the water? It will you got to get in water first? Mmm, so in for rain, wait for rain stuff like that.

It would be cool if you threw a channeling Trident at a certain block and you can guarantee like you hit a trident into a lightning rod, even if there was no lightning happening, no thunderstorms There's no nothing. It was seven a single bolt of lightning right there. I like that. I knew where you're going with it. Hmm, I'd be down for that. Hmm. Yeah, it sounds fun.

We do have one comment. Jay, man said, maybe the Trident has a bit extra reach on melee attacks and it does more of a spear attack versus a swing attack. I do like that. Yeah, that's kind of what was mentioned. Maybe you can't throw it. Jaemin's idea of the extra reaches really good one too. Mmm. It's a long weapon, right? Should be able to get a little extra reach out of it. Baby poking, a creeper with a trident. Make sure it stays just far enough.

It can't start sizzling. Yeah, be really nice. Yeah, it would give it a little bit more use for a weapons of a tool but you're right. It is used more of a to. It can even like break dripstone or cores fruit. Like right now I think there's a lot more use as a tool like you said, mmm every world I end up getting a trident I don't remember ever really using the Trident goes in a chest, I think I have it hanging on an item frame.

Like look how cool it is because the Trident is a very cool looking thing in Minecraft. Hmm, and it just sits there collecting dust. Hmm, what's funny? Is one of my first tutorials I've done was a trident Farm? Yeah I remember that. And it did really well. Mechanics changed a little bit and it kind of broke. But I was gonna say and it broke like a month later, though. Yeah, it worked really well first.

It's pretty popular. But if in a freaking you built the one on ripple effect, did you and that one that one was a beast for a while? Yeah, at quite a few Trident. There's better ways though there are better ways. Should we go ahead and move into the main topic though? Yes. Alright, the main topic is final predictions for Minecraft live Minecon live Minecraft Earth live, whatever. They're calling it this year. One of those, one of those. So we have three different kinds

of predictions. We're going to do Give me prediction almost a guaranteed this is what's going to happen. Then we're going to do our what's 119 going to be prediction and then we're going to do our out of nowhere /. Where the heck did that come from predictions? The start with the Gimme prediction Jimbo. What's your gimmick? What's going to? What we guaranteed to see? I feel like we're going to see the full completion of the deep dark. We're going to get everything in there.

We're going to see the little looting rooms. Mmm, if this is. Going to come out this winter, or I guess it would be winter holiday season. We should be able to see all this at the time at this time. So that's, that's my gimme. Okay, my gimme is, we won't see a Minecraft, first mob for vote, but we will see a Minecraft dungeons. Bob vote. I like it. I think the devs really want to put an aggressive attacking mob in there. So I don't think we're going to see Earth mom.

I think we're going to see dungeons mob. Yeah, think it'll be hostile, think it's going to be a hostile, even though I actually don't prefer any more hasta moms in the game right now, the word in the deep dark makes sense. Because it's got a specified area and stuff, and I'd like that but just random spining, spawning moms, like the Challenger. I got to deal with that up on the mountain all the time. I'm not going to go up on the mountain. Mmm, just that simple.

Plus I like the glow squid I don't care what people say, the glow squid is glow. Squid drops. Soooo were really good. Yeah, it really useful really like what they did with the drops. Hopefully it's not just a retexture thing though. I mean I know the yellow squid is re textured but we got different drops out of it. So if they give us a re textured mob, at least give us something useful out of it. Hmm. So my prediction.

Yeah, for 119. 119, 119 going to be Jimbo, I could see us doing a biome update, a big biome update and that's from the beginning of the show. How A took out a bunch of biomes. Mmm, I think it's for the biome update. You're saying there's precedent there. Yes, I think they're connected in some way. We're going to get our mobs from the my Biome votes, that we've been doing that. We haven't seen yet, think we're going to get like the new trees new blocks and just new all around.

You know, liveliness to the world, really hoping for that. I was going to say, end update, it's pretty popular. And as you could see on our vote from Spotify, wouldn't mind seeing that, but yeah, I think we're leaning more towards a biome update. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna say no and there's a lot of buyers. Mm biases. Yeah, in my vote or my prediction because I'm going to

say it's an inventory. / bug fixes update and it's not so much a has to be inventory, it can be something else that's not as large as a world generation type. Maybe it's Jeb's combat update, finally getting into the game. We haven't heard about this thing in almost a year, right? Maybe that. Finally comes into the game. And you know what, I would be super happy with it.

I'd be excited about it especially if he touched up on the Trident. Yeah, the big thing is with how late 118 is finishing up. His finishing up in December. I think it's going to be too late in the developmental year. That Mojang likes to do. To put in a bigger update like a world gin or a biome update, and end update. So, to try to keep on Pace, I think we're going to get something like 115, the bugs and the bees. They'll do some cleaning up in the code.

Make sure the game is running efficiently again. We see that already with their posting like hey how is how's the game running on your computers and stuff like that? Are you having lag issues or you having this Frame spikes and stuff like that? Think that's what we're going to get 41. 19. I don't necessarily disagree, right? I think a lot of bug fixes are going to come in 118. I feel like they're going to keep fixing it, you know, we'll see a 118 1 or 1, 18 6.

You know, that's how far into it, I could see it going just because when I played the snapshot, I was coming across some lag issues and stuff. And I have a pretty nice beefy PC and I'm still coming across some lag and stuff like that. And I feel like, They're going to be fixing a lot of bugs then, but you know, I don't mind a bug-fix update, you know, depends how bad it gets. I guess an inventory.

Yeah, inventories, always something they could work on and I'm not going to say you're wrong. You could be right. We could have a lot of 118. S, the only problem with that is, again, they're going to be pushing 119, development cycle back to continue to work on 118, which means they're going to have, even less time for 119. Yeah. And they're going to tell us Wouldn't 119 is and everyone's going to be excited about it for them just to not give it to us till way later, right?

So that wouldn't be cool. Either way, we're not Mojang. So we don't know what's gonna happen, Minecraft? Yes, like we said before in Mojang We Trust. Yep. We know they got something cool. Bruin now's the fun part out of nowhere left field. Where the heck did that come from prediction? Mmm. Well you got Jimbo, we can Go really left field here but I didn't go too crazy.

I feel like we're going to see more mobs coming out for 118, especially in the deep dark like maybe at least one more mob, they're going to give us for the deep dark. We have the warden. Hmm, we have the goat. We have the ox, a lottle glow squid. You're thinking there is even more and the glow squid. Yeah, I'm not even saying it could be hostile, you know, it could be a passive mob. Down there deep in the world maybe something that you know, again can't see.

But get goes all the vibrations. I feel like there's so much more room for cave. Mobs to come into play. It's a big world. I hope it's the key mob from dungeons. He's adorable. I want him. Yeah, maybe you'll get, you'll have to find a key mob to get into explore the deep dark. You can't get in these certain rooms to navigate. Eight. Maybe you'll need something like that. That'd be cool. Don't get my hopes up Jimbo. Just my Iran with the eCig key mabo just ran with it. Yeah.

But yeah, I kind of hope. Hope we get a little bit more. I'm always up for new Mobs. Hope that's not to left field. Oh, my left field. I think it's going to drive some people, crazy. Let's see. We're getting backpacks in Minecraft out with the bundles, no more bundles. All backpacks. I like that change. You heard it here, folks? I think, the reason we're not seeing bundles come to the game. As I think, Mojang understands that bundles are not great. They did not fix any inventory issue.

If anything they made it worse. So a lot of people who like, well, how did bundles make it worse Duds because when you have a full bundle and a full inventory and now you need to get something out of that bundle. You have to just throw everything on the ground to find what you need out of said, bundle doesn't make sense. Does not help with the The inventory issue backpacks?

Would ya? I would take it back, tack back, back tack up. Yeah, Cooper a biotech but no being able to access an extra side of inventory to bring into your inventory, makes a ton of sense, it's not super Opie. The only problem is if you have to put a backpack on instead of an Electra you now lose your lighter, which is kind of risky. You also don't get a chest plate so there's that. Mmm, I don't know. People would use a backpack.

If they had to take off, their lights are all the time because we've grown so accustomed to having that safety. Net parachute is just jumping off tall buildings. Yeah, I think you're onto something there, you know, have it replaced the chest plate. Also a light ra. Like you get a nice fix for the inventory, but there's a setback like it level it out a little right? But see, I don't think people would like to. I would immediately go I'm not going to use the backpack.

Because I need my Elektra. Yeah, let's your underground or you're going to have people constantly switching back and forth like if you're underground. Mmm, There Are Places to fly down there. I will tell you that. If there are I've seen the pictures, mmm. Then again there's a lot of water like you could jump into water a lot easier to to get down. I mean to get back up, guess you'd have to go up the water. So yeah there's ways around

besides a light show. In the underground but I think that's got to be it for the show today. Yeah, for I have Jimbo reaches out.
