Episode description

In this episode, DuDs and Jimbo discuss snapshot 21W43A for Minecraft 1.18, Caves & Cliffs, which includes better biome blending between new and old chunks in a world, old chunks will have their bedrock removed and filled with Deepslate (worlds upgraded in this snapshot will permanently have Deepslate). Flooded caves near rivers and ocean coastlines have been reduced, aquifer water levels change less often, and Big Dripleaf placement has been restricted to Clay, Grass, Dirt, Farmland, Moss, Rooted Dirt, Podzol and Mycelium. Plus, we have listener comments, the first from S. D. Smith about Goat Horns in Java Edition, Lokkon4 asks about DuDs and Jimbo's most/least favourite thing about the 1.18 and 1.19 updates, and Baked_Baguette asks about their favourite feature about the new (ish) plant blocks. Also, DuDs sets out three new enchantments he would like to see in the game and Jimbo (after reading the topic wrong) gives us the three new potions he would like in Minecraft.

Transcript

Everyone welcome to the weathering effect episode 119. Today's date is October, 31st 2021 and I am Duds are duds versus known to the rest of the interwebs. I'm Jimbo. You may know me as Jimbo slice. 23 happy Halloween, everyone. It's Halloween. Yeah, least here in the states. Yeah, I was going to say we have a spooky episode ahead for people, but we really don't know

that song. Yeah, I was going to make some kind of reference there but I was like, well yeah wouldn't make sense but I think tipped for at least today though, mobs are spawning with pumpkins on their heads or jack-o'-lanterns are whatever it is now. That's right. Yeah, they do that once a year. Hmm, probably around Halloween. I want to say it is just for the day of Halloween. Yeah. Anyways, what you been up to this week? Jimbo me Halloween, pretty much.

I had my wife wanted to throw another Halloween party. And we did a couple years ago and family who's asking if we were going to do it again and they were really wanting us to do it. So, my wife agreed to have the Halloween party and that's all I was doing all week was, like, decorating moving stuff around. Got to get the house in order and then, yeah, just getting the food ready, and we had it. Last night is good time. I woke up with a headache if you know what I mean. Yeah.

Oh I know what I mean? Because I messaged you last night. Saying, hey, we don't have a show topic and you're like, yeah, I can I am not in the condition to there's no way I could have, like, got on a call with you last night but yeah, it was a lot of fun. You know. Everyone was dressed up. I was a Roman warrior. I think Apollo Apollo was my costume. Yeah, everyone had costumes. We have prizes for the winners of the best costume in the kids best costume. It's a good turnout.

We had a good bit of people there, but yeah, because of the Halloween party, I haven't played any mine. EFT me and you were going to record last weekend and I had a headache last weekend so I don't know what it is with these weekend's. I've usually do fine towards a week or in the middle of the week. Well the weekends I seem to get a headache. Yeah so you guys thinking it's my fault for Jim would not putting on his most recent episode. It is not. No, no, I'm going to be behind

on it, that's for sure. I'm already so behind and say you're so far behind now, I don't know if it matters. Matters. Right? I was going to make it like a longer episode but I've you know, I don't know. I just need to get it out but you know I want to put enough work into it to where I can. I like it. It's don't want to rush it either but I don't think it's going to be a long one like I mentioned before. Yeah. Or B average average time. Hmm. I did have time for Minecraft this week.

I played a lot of Minecraft this week. There were a couple nights, I was up till 11:30 12:00 at night. Working on this video. Hmm, a lot of that was my fault because I was recording out of order and I would just get so lost to where I was an episode. Like the first five minutes of the episode are all shot so far out of order. Like there were days between clips and they were backwards and stuff.

And then I'd have to go and play Winters game again to make sure that I could get replay mod footage because I forgot to do it when I was playing. With Carl. Yeah, it was a tough episode but I ended up finishing my ship's wheel Island project. I did the entire Island. I didn't think I was going to do that. I thought I was just going to get the wheel down, get a couple structures done. No I finished the entire Island which is why one reason why the episode took so long to get out.

But I am so happy with it. The fact that I had no clue what I was going to go to that Island, I was just placing leaves on my mountain and was like that Island needs. Something. What should I put there? And everyone has been mentioning this before, and it's an obvious thing to put there, and that's so shipwreck. Mmm, I've determined in creative mode. I cannot build ships. That's why I haven't built any ships on my quote unquote Pirate Island.

I'm not very good at it. So instead of forcing myself to build something that doesn't look good built. The giant ship wheel and built it at that weird, stupid angle. And it's made out of logs. So I had to run the tree farm for a while but man, I'm so happy with how it came out. I even played with what I call the sail material tents like some of the tents are rolling in the wind instead of just being flattened pulled out which I thought was really cool.

Yeah I'd love the area Omni came over yesterday to finish he put his little rabbit shop that he Go to my base. That I had to basically immediately tear down because I was building in the area, he put it. Mmm, so he rebuilt that there and then I added a little bit to the back just to kind of enclose it. So I could do some landscaping around it and yeah, Dead Island. Done is it might be one of my more favorite sections of the

island. I know I say that every time I do something new but it's very cool to look at. I'm super happy with it. Yeah, you shared the picture with us on the Discord. I've got to see Uh, the episode yet. But yeah, it looks really cool. That's a really cool idea with the wheel. Yeah. Do you like that? And I have already started on my next, my own Survival episode, pretty excited about the next one. Get him be doing a lot of moss in Greenery.

And there I have an idea for I shouldn't say Mas generator because I'm just going to use a mangoes design because of how efficient it really is and it's relatively small. But I want to do a room that does must that. Is sugar cane that does bamboo. And I'm basically having to do this because Minecraft now revolves around bone meal. Oh yeah. Bone meal is the currency of Minecraft? No longer. Is it Diamond it bonemeal pre-payable and bone?

Meal is relatively easy to get unless you need mass quantities of it. Then you got to start farming, the stuff and this all has started because I want a renewable light source. I need some way to come up with lots of Of lights that I could put in the ground so I can light up my area. And obviously Winter's day to pack for the global hawk is to me the best light source in the

game right now. The problem is, I don't have amethyst geodes near me. So I'd have to go find some amethyst Gio's and you gotta AFK for the crystals and then you gotta mine them and everything like that. Yeah, so to me, the best, what I call, kind of trash light block, even though it's not an ugly Block, it's just you can mass quantities of it and Doesn't matter that you're hiding it in

the dirt is string lights. Normally I would say sea lanterns but the farm to make those has kind of massive. Yeah. So if you can do a warped wood or a crimson wood tree farm, you get lots of shroom lights. Well, that requires lots of bone meals and I got to go to bonemeal farm so I could build that farm. So I could just have lights to throw in the dirt.

Yeah, with the, the whole ceiling and thing that's, it's a huge project for one and you almost Need to use the prismarine block to because you're getting so much of that. Yeah, you don't want to waste that and you can't just use it for just seal a nerds. So if you don't have plans for prismarine and yeah there's really there's other light sources. Well, the thing is I know early

next season. Me and Carl will have talked about building a guardian farm so it's like, I don't want to build two of them back to back because I know that's going to burn me out, right? So it's like my own Survival. You can kind of get pushed to the side a bit and my own Survival. This area for me to test new things, play the game in a different way than I would play on normal smps. So, yeah, I know just what I'm doing and I'm a super excited for this episode.

I think I'm only like three or four minutes in, but it's, it's fun. And on top of that, I got something new for my channel and its new intro and outro music from The One and Only decoy. Yeah, I get to hear it. You got to hear it because I I sent it to you before. I started the show. Oh, I love it. I had that song on repeat for days. Yeah, it's catchy. Are we like it decoys good at

what he does? Yeah, it very much feels like the new music coming to Minecraft while at the same time feeling like a dud song so I'm happy with it. Hmm basically my new season music folder is done with all the music that's in there except for time lapse. Right? I need to find a time-lapse song. That's a bit more upbeat that hopefully will not be copyrighted. Mmm. Yeah, they can always make a copy right now, like you're all good to go in till so many months down the road. Yeah.

And what started? This guy's is every season. I choose music from a non copyrighted Library, just for it to be copyrighted by the end of the season. Yeah. And somebody claimed it, which is stupid. I don't know why anyone would claim my videos. My videos aren't monetized. I make not a single penny on my YouTube videos so people clicking my videos and trying to monetize them. It doesn't work. You're not getting anything from it and the second I see you trying to do that.

I just remove the music from this from the video. So if you go back and you watch some old videos and there's no music where you think there should be music, it's not you. It's the fact that somebody tried to copyright that and I remove the tin seconds of music that was there. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of it for Week. Well you forgot one more thing was that you hit 600 subscribers? I did hit 600 Subs. I didn't think it was going to come. Yeah it's pretty big.

Well and the scale of things not really but yes at the same time it is for me. I got really excited because I've been averaging about a sub a day and this past week, I was only averaging like a third of sub a day so like I'd get one sub every three days or something like that. I was like, oh no, I slow down. I'm not going to hit. At 6:00 or slowing down. Then you broke the seal broke through. Nice, it's good. I think I'm up to 60 for now. Like, Yep.

This, uh, bday has came back, there you go. So, I'm in a very good mood with my YouTube channel. I'm really happy for it. It's definitely a baby channel, but it's full of content. I want to watch, which makes me happy that 604 people feel the same way, and it's consistent, and it's consistent unlike mine. I go. Go on my hot streaks. Yeah, yeah, we'll see. That's the difference in the beginning of a season you'll put out for episode before I can do one.

Yeah, I usually do like to week at the beginning and then was it by the end of the season. I'm putting out 10 episodes by the time you do. That's what it's looking like. You know, for sure. Should we get into the news? Because we do have a snapshot, yeah? Yes, dude. There's not a huge amount of changes happening with this neptr ice. I say that it really is, it's a lot of technical World blending.

That's really massive but it's not one of those things where you can spend a ton of time to talk about. Like I said we're going to have that change where when you update your world wherever there's Bedrock is now deep sleep. Yep, sounds logical. Yeah, they did. Say what was it there? Something there that confuse me about caves. So obviously in Old chunks, if if there is Rock at Y is 0, the column below will be filled with deep slate world's upgraded in.

This snapshot were permanently have this deep slate. So if you want new caves under height:0 make sure to keep a backup before upgrading. Okay, to me that feels a little worded differently. One, you should always back up before you update period because you never know what can happen and two if you're planning on using the backup. Before you update your not going to have caves below. Why? Is 0 unless they're talking about snapshot world you were using before, but they don't

mention that in the notes. So there's just like a Lost in Translation. I think that's going on right here. Hmm. Because if you, if you update your going to get caves below y 0, because that's the new generation is going to be deep slate, and it's going to be caves one noticed. I think it was exhume as video underneath a certain area, that was just all deep slate. It wasn't hmm. Any caves generated. It was just All the deep sleep. No caves, maybe that's what I'm missing.

Yeah, I think that's what they're trying to say. I don't know if this is like at spawn. I want to say it's near spawn. I'm not too sure though because he had a he was checking out the blending of the different biomes. Yeah. And yeah. The the block said he picked yet so many chunks to see how it Blended and underneath of those. So many chunks that he had already loaded in the world. They were Is all deep slate underneath. Hmm, and everything. Below, y 0.

There is caves around that. So it was yeah. Apparently if it's loaded already like there's not going to be caves under there. I think I think he did mention that's going to be fixed though. I don't know because the way you're the way your phrasing into makes me sound like if you have pre-loaded chunks. Mmm. When you do the upgrade basically Y is 0 and down is just keeps like there's no chance for any caves to be in that chunk. Yeah, that's it. Look like okay, which would kind of suck.

Yeah, it would. But at the same time, that's a deep slate mine. Oh yeah. And I would not mind that it's true. Yeah, I don't imagine there's oars generating in there. I don't know that. Maybe it's just deep slate. I think he did say was just deep slate. That's what the note said, says, I guess. Yeah, I don't know. It is a little disappointing like that. Well, he says they're going to fix that. Yeah, it might not be too bad but at the same time, I honestly wouldn't mind that much.

Because deep slates, my favorite block and that just gives me more deep site to mine without having to worry about lighting caves up. Yeah, so I don't have to worry about lighting new caves up in a chunk. I've spent all the time lighting caves up it. Yeah, it's true. Didn't really think of it like a, it's not necessarily a bad thing either?

Yeah, that's less area to explore, but you have infinite amount of new chunks, you can go explore and it's not like, it's not like amethyst geodes where you have to go to a new location. To explore these new areas. It's caves. Mmm. Yes, there are. There are very many new caves but it's not mean I can see people setting up bases in caves and outposts and stuff like that. But you're again, you're going, you're getting your resources and you're getting out. Yeah, for the most part.

But let's see, the new Bedrock play layer is going to be placed at negative 64. We talked about that. Hmm, it feels like we're getting very close to pre-release. Yeah, at least in. Java. I think Bedrock is a little bit farther behind, but not much, okay? But let's remember Bedrock was ahead of us when it came to Mountain generation. So yeah, let's see. There's a video setting update to Priority updates and they're going to be named chunk Builder.

So it's just a name change. Yeah, just change the yeah, the meaning of it. I guess they have reduced the amount of flooded caves near river and ocean coastlines, I guess especially If you're a Bedrock player, that would be like a huge breeding ground for drowned and I heard drown spawns in Bedrock are rough flooded cave, near coastlines. If you're building on the clothesline would probably not be too fun. So that might be a good thing

that they reduce the amount. You know, I wonder how like the new spawns or at zero. Now, light level 0, a Wonder in the water if that would help. I don't know how much light you know what kind of lighting it is underwater. Anyway. For Hostile Mobs. Pretty sure like so far down. It hits zero. Yeah. I was going to say, the water already opaques the light anyways, right? Like if you have a deep ocean, I think you'd still have light

level 0 towards the bottom. Yeah, everywhere, most of the time, so aquifers have less level changes now. So that does mean less waterfalls but that means easier boat traveling, right? My dog is just snoring so hard right now and I can see it. Getting picked up on the mic. Carl have fun editing. That we're putting Susie to sleep down. Yeah. Lava aquifers are slightly less common. I'm good with that. I don't know if they mean just in caves or on the surface period let's face it.

I keep finding mansions with lava under them still like that was a problem when they first came out, why is this still an issue that I'm watching a mansion burned down before I can get to it? Especially as far as you got to, go to find one, right? That's one thing. I'm glad that That most of the time when I'm playing on an SP we play with fire tick off so it's not that bad. But I keep watching people like on Livestream stuff like oh

mansion and it's on fire. It's yeah and finally they restricted were the big drip Leaf could be placed, you could only now, place it to Clay, grass, dirt, farm land Moss, rooted dirt puzzle in my see them now, placing a big drip, Leaf at Farmland. The yeah, that It was a little weird. Yeah, I didn't know you could do that. Does it stay farmland or does it immediately turn to Grass? It looks like it stays Farmland.

That's kind of cool. There's that one little pixel difference where it looks like it's hovering. Oh, on the Farmland. That's only thing that's kind of weird about it. Yeah. But if you're doing a large farm of them. Yeah, I mean it is Farmland. You make sense to be able to put a drip Leaf there. Yeah. Well imagine like if you put a big drip leaf and you surround it with like beer, Route and wheat because those are some of the taller crops you won't see that pixel.

Oh yeah. I'm probably blend the two together. Yeah. Props. And at Ripley. Yeah, so be it would be kind of cool. I wonder. Well, I bet if you put a crop down you might not be able to place the drip Leaf. Didn't really mention that well not in talking about putting them in the same block I'm talking about. Putting them next to that block. I was thinking the same block yeah, that probably wouldn't be a thing.

No, it'd be cool to. As far as I know, there's only An item that you can put in the same block as another item. And that's item frame. Yeah, in like that glue liking and sculpt. Now can you put glow like it in the same spot as another block? Yeah in Corners. Oh yeah, that's right. Did not know that and I think sculpt now you can do that. Yeah, for me skulk feels just like a re textured lichen. It's obviously going to have a different function. Yeah, but it's pretty similar

but that's it for the snapshot. I want to move on to A listener question real quick because I think it's something that's kind of been forgotten about and that's s.g. Smith asked, do you have go towards and Java? An answer is no, we do not. Nope, never have. No, I think that is a forgotten feature. I think they were trying to work out what the goat horn could be used for, and it wasn't really a priority.

As much as obviously the terrain building in the deep dark has been Thinking about it, go horn to mess with the warden. Like, imagine maybe the goat horn is too loud because obviously, the warden moves on sounds, so if you blow a goat horn, maybe it freezes the warden from attacking you because my ears, they hurt. Yeah, that could be a thing. I liked it. He's like ultra-sensitive with the hearing, you know, because his other senses aren't working, right? Kind of like a dog whistle for

the warden. Yeah, could be cool. That's a good idea that Being said, I think the item is in Minecraft, like I think you can command it in kind of like we do with bundles. So if you're wanting to retexture an item that's like that, there you go. Yeah, I think not 100% sure. Don't quote me on that. Yeah. Logically. You think the goat horn would be some kind of horn. You could blow, you know, get some kind of sound out of it.

Yeah, I think you mentioned, you know, maybe could cause like Avalanches. Uh-huh. Maybe you can break away all the Powdered snow, that's in the

area. There's different ways of horn could be used by. I think you could take advantage of the warden with it via know, kind of thinking that's what's going to do. They don't want you to fight the warden because the wardens beastly it kills you relatively quickly, even fully armored up. Obviously you have the Strat of pillar during just out of its reach and shooting it till it dies. They are obviously looking into a way to To make sure you can't do that.

At least we've seen from King. Be dogs tweets. I think the easy way to get around. That is have the warden yell and it causes you to fall off a block or something like that, but the same time people are going to find ways to cheese. Minecraft mobs and buy cheese. I mean, easy ways to kill these mobs. That's just part of the game, that's gonna happen. Yeah, I think the best defense against that is to give us a good defense From the Mob and a goat horn that could make the

war. Kind of take a step back for a second. Is a good idea. Yeah. It's also thinking maybe buff The Shield a little bit I can just see someone holding his shield up to Warden and one hits the shield and breaks it. Yeah yeah. I don't think a regular shield should be able to block the warrant and maybe the wardens to powerful nether. Right Shield. Yeah. Maybe different kind of Shield or an enchanted Shield because you imagine another sure.

I should. Here's one thing I want to I'd like Shields to be able to have different shapes. Yeah, that it might be too much for the game, but because it's a non stackable item having different shapes. I don't think matters that much. Yeah, I don't like the fact that it's just Square to, you know, Shield is a specific shape. There's also round ones, you know, even though this is Minecraft it's forbidden. That's the yeah, I would like a different shape of the shield. You can get you.

We can keep the square one but Maybe some other different ones with different shapes. We've talked about unique textures left and right, they would be the coolest inflammation in politics at the sorry guys, everything about me is congested today. So I'll get halfway through word is just not going to come out. Mmm, Implement a tip. See Implement yes. He now, you can't say, can't hear. I just said, Implement. Yeah, okay yeah, that's the easier.

Way to say words are hard guys but I'm liking what I'm seeing because P several SPS now are just getting away from waiting on Mojang to come up with something like that and they're just kind of doing it theirselves with getting people to make custom models from especially where we saw block

bench is huge. Now, I've yet to try it, I'm thinking about trying it some before a new season starter it may mean my content comes out a little slower, but if I get to add cool stuff like that to videos and stuff, I want to do it. But I'm seeing it now with like, especially Empires SP, Every Empire has their own unique armor and toolset it's freaking cool and I think Mojang's excited that other people are doing stuff like that because they can stick to their base game.

They're like, if we can get the vanilla game, play down good, make it a fun game that you guys can handle, all the other stuff like that. Make it your own, make it your own painting and I think it's I'm enjoying. Seeing other people do that? And I want I want a piece of it. It. Yeah, yeah, I thought it looked interesting. Never never heard about it before that watch Empires as some. He it's I'm not a very big fan of role-playing servers.

I just haven't been, but they do more building than role-playing so I tend to watch some more. Okay. Let's move on to some other questions. I'll let Jimbo read his next. We have a question from bake baguette. Will it be the pronunciation? That's it. I have a question for Duds in Jimbo. Yes. What is your favorite feature about the new ish, plant blocks like drip, leave Moss glowberries, Etc. I mean, Moss is obviously the new favorite just because it makes terraforming so much easier.

Yes, my favorite feature though, would probably be the Spore Blossom, just the atmospheric effects for blossoms. Awesome. Yeah, it's an awesome Blossom. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, it's very Blossom but yeah, the effect you get from that in the atmosphere. That's my favorite feature right there. I wish we'd have more things that did that. Yeah, but you're right with the Moss, you get so much out of it. Now and Moss isn't my favorite feature. It's it's the most useful feature.

Yeah. Out of all of them. I like the carpets. I like the new plants. I like all of that but Glowberries is my favorite. Okay. Just because it's a new light source and especially with the new lighting changes named out become a super useful Life Source. That's very decorative. It's my favorite, it's not, it's not as useful as Mas. Like, if I had to choose to keep ma soeur glowberries in the game, I'm keeping Moss.

Yeah. But my personal favorite glowberries is such a cool looking texture, and the fact that it emits light and the fact that you can choose where on that vine, To have the light emit as cool. The only thing I wish from glowberries is you could place them to leaves and you can't. Ya. See. Only thing I don't like about them. Yeah. You think you could, can you replace them on the vine, the glowberries? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I thought you meant just bone meal because you can bone meal and a berry will pop up on that spot. That's why I'm saying you, you place your mind, get it, the links you want and then you can share the glowberries. Of the vine or double bone meal on it and it will pop off and then just single bone meal where you want the light source to be or the quote unquote glow. Barry. Okay. Yeah. I was thinking, can you just take the glow, Barry item and

just place it on there? I don't think you can do that think, once it's off its off. Now that just makes the vine longer. That's right. Duh, I knew that you have to bone meal, a specific spot on the by - Barry. Yeah, I know that too. Which is why I like my glow Berry. Farm in my base for ripple is just a bunch of fully grown Vines. So I can just Spam click with bone meal and they just all start popping off and flinging down into The Hoppers. Yeah.

Because you don't need a super complicated Farm form which is really nice. Yeah, but there we go again. Bone meal is the currency of Minecraft. Yeah, as of right now, it's hard to get glowberries. You can't get the Spore blossoms and how it would look so good in my own Survival for me right now in the area. I'm working. Yeah, I came across someone Is playing in that snapshot couple weeks ago. Yeah. And and yeah, you get that atmospheric effects. Really cool.

I forgot. Where are they going to naturally? Generate in the new update in the less Kate's lash caves, duh. That makes sense. Yeah. On the ceilings, they're hard to get to yeah, because a lot of these caves are big and most time, they're not so close to the ground. You got a pillar up. Okay, can't believe I forgot where they spot. It's been a while we've been waiting for This update a long time, guys.

Yeah. I remember I went looking for a lush cave when 117 came out and I'm just like, how are you doing that? We talked about this on the show. It's not there. Yeah, totally did that. Anyways, next question we have is from, Loken for they asked. Hey, Duds and Jimbo what is your most / least favorite thing about 118 and 119 most favorite I guess a the warden. Yeah.

I do like the deep dark city, but yeah, I don't think it would be a scary if that Warden wasn't down there if the warden changes the whole game down there without the warden, it's just another place. Hmm. And I think that was my favorite from 117 to. Hmm, was the warden when we we had to pick our favorite. Now, 118 is the worn again. They'll make me say it on 119. Her note. It is 119. Yeah, and 19-teens Warden Yeah. It was supposed to be 17 18 and

I was he coming. Yeah, he's supposed to come and 17. Yeah, he's supposed to be there in 17. The original announcement was 117, right? We thought we were going to get it with the second half of the split but yeah, it's moved to next year for me. My favorite feature is the new mom spotting. They only spawn in total darkness. That's a good one. That's my favorite and I'm glad it's in 118 and not 119, I don't think I could wait. Knowing that it's out there.

So I'm super excited for that. My least favorite is the fact that we have to wait on the warden again? Don't get me wrong. I understand why we're waiting and it makes complete sense. I want Mojang to have the time to perfect what they're working on. And it just, like Jimbo said, sucks. We expected it 117. Then 118 now 1:19. So that's three Updates. This weren't been promised to us, so, hopefully we get it soon again. I see ancient. He's as a place, I will go get

my stuff and get out. Then it's not much of an explanation thing for me, but that's just because it's the way I play the game. Other people play the game, way different than I do. I'm a homebody, I get my stuff. I go to my base and I build up my base. I do you. No good. These places to get in and out, you know, find all the loot. Yeah. But I have a lot of fun doing it, you know. So I kind of search for that

adventure and a deep dark city. It looks There's a lot, you know, there's a lot involved a lot more than they showed us. They showed us a lot, but I feel like it's going to be even more. Oh yeah, for the deep dark. I'm trying to think of my least favorite. I thought of my most favorite. I'd never thought about least favorite. That's it. I'm not Wonder. Not like anything, you know. I mean, I really enjoy anything. That's new. Yeah, guys, you could give Jimbo

paper airplane. He's gonna have fun with it. Mmm, I'll throw it out. Throw the airplane and have fun with it, trying to think. Well is there something that you wanted in these updates? You didn't get his number. You predicted the biome update? Yeah I would owe Mangrove root texture. Yeah 4119. Yeah I wasn't a big fan of that. That's true. It's not a good-looking texture. No I feel like they definitely need to redo that one. Again, it's early.

So it might already be getting redone but yeah, like I said, Don't dislike really anything new. But it could be. Yeah, you want the block? You're just not a fan of the texture. Yeah, I love the idea. Yeah, I remember you saying that because I agree with you. The second you said it. Mmm was like, yes, know that texture. Yeah, it's a little weird. Then again I play with a lot of the 3D textures turned out. Like 3D dripstone is so good. I love it. But yeah guys, thank you so much

for those comments. I I'd say that all these comments from were from our Discord, but I think some of them were actually from Apple podcast. We had oh nice. We had someone nice enough to see that we had questioned sitting there. Yeah, awesome, awesome. 2399 said, there were a couple questions left over from Apple podcasts and they brought them over for us. Usually Carl will go through and check but he's been super busy. Obviously we have a half set

coming out. I think any day now that car has been desperately editing. So Awesome. Thank you so much for grabbing those questions and bringing them over. Yeah, we didn't get to all of them. There was another question that we didn't feel fit the show that we might answer later on. So if you ask that one, you're looking for an Ansel. Don't worry we might just get to it in the next episode. Here's Rebel JC with an ad to join our Discord.

What's going on everybody? I'm Rebel JC and I'd love for you to join our Discord Community. Whether it's taking part in our mending Minecraft, vote sharing your thoughts and opinions on Minecraft, or just chatting with like-minded listeners. The weathering effect Discord has something for everyone joined today by following the link, in the show notes. All right thank you for the Discord. A dribble JC I got excited because halfway through the pause, we need for Carl to put

the stuff in my second natural. Finally opened up the decongestants. I took this morning her. Finally working only took him three hours. You see that ten second break? I just knew that ten second break, but each week on the show, we've mentioned the top three members who have been earning XP and leveling up by participating in chat, excluding ourselves and moderators, this week's top three disk or memory Where's our third place for

trees? Second place, kitty cat to, and first place, ski 3012, ski keeping the streak going. Yeah. Yeah. It's every week. It seems like, hmm. So join in with chat on the Discord and you could be mentioned next week, speaking on the disk or to see only place you can get involved in our mending Minecraft vote this week, we asked you to choose between one of three structures for us to discuss it improve your choices were. Oh, Monument and gateways and Buried Treasure.

And yes, buried treasure is considered a Minecraft Structure and the winner of mending Minecraft. This week is In gateways. Oh yeah and gateways had 32 votes 14 for the buried treasure and only seven for the ocean Monument. Hmm, let's take an ocean Monument would do a lot better there but and gateways and gateways or portals generated in the end after defeating the Ender Dragon and are used to gain quick access to Outer and islands and end Gateway is one block portal surrounded by 10

Bedrock blocks. On top and 5, on the bottom, on the main island and maximum of 20 gateways can be generated for each World. Arranging in a circular fashion around the island at why 75 and additional and Gateway generates in the outer end regions after first activating one at the main island. Once a Gateway on the main

island has been activated. It is in definitely linked to its corresponding exit, Gateway and a magenta beam shoots out vertically from the top of the On the top and bottom of the Gateway when it is generated, the beam appears after disappears. After 10 seconds, when an entity enters, the Gateway, the Gateway emits. A beam for two seconds. Didn't know that. No, they the beam went off for two seconds.

Yeah, fixing the Gateway. Yeah, I don't have a light here, which it, which works out great, because we're getting low on time but there's not a lot to Ooh them. So I went with quality of life fixes, this isn't going to be some Grand fix. It's just some little things that I think make in gateways better one, make them easier to get into. We have the one block that you're supposed to throw an enderpearl through so that you

can go through. I can't tell you the amount of times that I've thrown an enderpearl and it landed me on the half side of a block, and I've fallen off an end Island. Not cool. Yeah. Seems like Times, it goes through it and you don't go in the portal. Yeah, I've noticed that I would like to get rid of that feature. I want to tall and portal gateways. Okay, they're too tall so Enderman can't walk through them.

Anyways and that's the only mob in the areas you don't have to worry about any other mobs walking through them. You can technically fly through an End Portal Gateway. If you have an Electra and stuff, but it's just such a whore of trapdoor. Yeah, there's shrink you down.

And there's such a pain to get into and they really don't have to be like I did just trying to be a challenge but it's a challenge, that's not really a challenge because you're surrounded by internment go. Smack one with the sword a couple times and now you have an into Pearl, walk up there and throw your Pearl. The challenge is when the Pearl doesn't go through the portal and it slap something on the other side of where you thrown it and now you're falling into

the void. Yeah, yeah, I'm curious. Why the only did it one block, you know, is it just for the I don't know, like you mentioned, Enderman can't go in there. Yeah, even that too high. Right. So it didn't make much sense to me. Maybe it lessens the chance of the in Dragon going through it. Because I have seen where in dragons will fly through them and then get teleported. So that is a thing, by the way,

they just need to fix that. Yeah, I think that should be the bigger fix for anything and the other quality of life fix. I have Is that each end City should have an end Gateway? But let me rephrase it, so people understand. Not each end Gateway, should lead to a city, right? So you do need to go travel and find a city. But how many times have we been to the point? Where, like you've rated 5 in cities? You got all the supplies you want, you just ready to go home

and you can't find a portal. So what does every single person do you throw everything in the inner chest and you jump off the tallest building in? You just died. No, I mean, it's quicker than finding those gateways. Yeah, it's quicker than trying to find a Gateway, so just give every city a Gateway so we don't have to kill ourselves to go home and to me, that sounds like a bad design feature when killing yourself is a quicker, fast travel than been a portal.

Yeah, that teleports you. I got mixed feelings about that. Like, I'm okay with, you know, the challenge of fine. It's like Easter egg hunt kind of you know trying to find these gateways. Sometimes it could be fun. But like you said, when you're flying around for like an hour and you still haven't found one these gateways, it could be very frustrating, especially when you cross 10 cities already. Hmm, like none of them have a Gateway. Yes. You think I know when I played

Xbox? You know, that's where it was. The end wasn't very big. That's where the Gateway was by the city's know? Yeah, it's actually pretty rare to find a gate. We buy City Java. Hmm, Lisa. I don't know about Bedrock. Yeah, pretty sure it's similar. And again it's not so much. A hard thing is just these were quality of life fixes that I think more players would enjoy, than not, enjoy. That makes sense. Yeah, one thing I wanted to bring about the end. Gateways, does it like, does it

have a sound? Not sure if it has, how is thought it made a young, but maybe I'm wrong. I have my Like friendly sounds turned way down. Yeah, be cool. If it has like a unique noise, it made. When you get close to it, kind of like a beacon or portal how you get close to end, portal or

nether portal. Now, the see that would make, if you don't want to put an in City there, at least having admit a sound would be nice because then you could turn on the subtitles and that could point you in a direction or you could be able to actually physically listen for it. Yeah. Maybe your Here in the same chunk or so far away. You could hear it if you miss it, right? Yeah. That's all I really wanted to say about the Importer or and Gateway. All right, so our main topic

actually comes from a listener. Question the gutter ask the question. If you could add one new enchantment to every type tool armor in Minecraft, what would it be? I felt that was a little too much so I had come up with the idea of I'm going to use the words he used or she they evolve the question. I'm going to evolve it again and I said, let's come up with three of our own enchantments and then Jimbo misread that type Ryan.

Oceans, I evolve did it again into 3 potions because you know Jimbo had a quote unquote Halloween party last night I couldn't do it. Last night I woke up early, you know Just out of it from last night and yeah. Yeah, I'm read the topic of like, oh yeah, this, this should be fun and I'm doing my potions. I'm then I look over and I'm like, oh my God, we're supposed to do enchantments. I think I even had one enchantment down, you had one enchantment and two potions, right?

And that enchantment wasn't even my original idea. But it was one that I really liked I wanted to share it. So I took that out and I was like, I'm just going to do potions 30-year. I could fix one of these, but yeah, I took my chairman out and I have 3 potions, so still should be fun, right? So you'll get a little mixed of both right now. There were some enchantments, I stayed away it again, like vain minor.

The big stuff from modded. I tried to stay away from because those are obviously already in modded and I wanted unique enchantments for me. I also You come up with any armor or to enchantments and that was just because they're definitely stuff. You could add to armor. Yeah, I'll throw that out there. And one would be I want to be able to add the Elijah to a chestplate. I don't know why that's not a thing. Yeah, I'd love to be able to do that too.

I do think tools are kind of where they should be. I know there are going to be people who are arguing for instant mind with another right picks deep slate. It's Uh, yeah, but I feel that should be more of a beacon effect than an enchantment. Yeah, that's one thing I was thinking about but I'll let Jim ago with his first potion and then we'll get into enchantments. Yeah, my the third one I have down, I mentioned it before on the show. It's a potion.

I've been one for what long time and it's the X-ray potion. You pretty much know where all the Hostile. And at, these are in a thirty two, block radius, that's how it would work similar to if you would ring the bell. And it Aid. Okay. You can see where all the Hostile Mobs are. Yeah. Yeah. I, I don't know. I like that effect. And if it were to be a potion or an effect, it wouldn't be a long duration. Yeah. It would be a short here they are real quick.

I know these caves are going to get bigger. We're going to have mobs in areas that we probably can't see. You're talking about using it to now figure out where caves are. Yeah that too. That's like that's a good idea. Hmm of course. Now I'm just going to start bringing Ringing a bell with me. Where I'm underground. Yeah. Ring the bell. Yeah, the bill works even not in rates, right? I think the only time I used it was for raids. No. But yeah. Yeah, you're probably right.

Yep. Always always like that ability and I wish we can bottle that up. Yeah. My first enchantment is an enchantment that's already technically in the game. Loyalty for the sword. So we see a lot of people not using the As much because the axe can critical hit harder, you put sharpness on an ex and your one hit and guys with critical

hits which is huge in the game. I don't know why we don't have a one-hit enchantment yet, but it seems that a lot of people are ditching The Sword and using an axe, which to me stinks. You have a weapon that's been in the game for forever since the beginning. And now it's basically useless because of a tool. Having the ability to throw a sword with sweeping Edge attached to. It could be really cool. Yeah, forget you can combine it with that sweeping Edge. Mmm.

And that's what debt to me. That's the only feature that and looting are the only things swords have going for them right now. And a lot of the times you don't really need looting or I really only see looting being a big thing for like hunting where there's goals and stuff like that. You Cases where you would want looting for day-to-day combat. The axe is the better tool. Yeah. Because darling could you chop down trees? You could kill things with it

right now. Notice you have loyalty for the sword but acts touring is becoming pretty popular. I know as someone who throws X. Yeah, be cool to put it on the axe to it could be good or be on the ax. Mmm, should be able to throw that you should queso my number two, Potion is the Aging potion, okay? Be a splash potion, mainly it, doubles the speed of growth rate. So you have a farm and let's say you have a cow Farm. If you splash potion the babies

it will grow up twice as fast. Now I wasn't sure if I would put, you know, three levels of this thing. You know, aging one, two, three, hmm or maybe you what is it? You put glowstone with it to up the one way you could do is Is 123 could be the radius of effect. Yeah. So if you do a level 3, the radius is really big but if you have a ton of babies in a small little single section, you can just do the one and it'll work. Yeah. And that was thinking possibly

use it on crops. I know you use bone meal to up the speed of the growth rate. See when you said this, I literally went. Oh, it's fertilizer for Animals. Yeah yeah. I was thinking you know to make one of these potions you would need bone meal but not just Bone meal be too easy. The post you might be too easy. So maybe the goat horn who could do the Aging thing. I don't see where that would come in with aging, that's the

only problem. Yeah, it's potions are tough because they're often forgot about in Minecraft. Hmm, they're just not something you carry around with it. You have to think to plan to bring them. Yeah, the only reason I brought up this kind of potion is because sometimes you have these Farms that go on you know, you leave them on, they just Keep working.

Yeah, and what if you can speed it up, just to be able to turn it off, you know, you can turn it on speed up the growth rate of whatever you might be planning or growing up. You know, entities and be able to turn it off once you get so much. Well, I'm thinking about like yeah. Villager Farms waiting for the baby to grow up. Yeah, that too. Yeah, my second enchantment comes from breath of the wild. I don't know how many of you guys have played that game or seen. I played that game.

It's one of my favorite games and they have the ability with a weapon to basically turn an enemy into an ice cube. So I was thinking about that. So I'm giving this to the Trident as a way to try to make the Trident useful still.

And whenever you hit the, the enemy with a trident using the quote unquote, freeze enchantment, in cold climates, they will turn into an ice cube Five seconds and I mean like you can straight up walk up to them and push them and they will slide around like they're on Ice. Ah, so you could turn a mob into an ice cube, and then push it off the mountain. That'd be cool. So that and that straight up from breasts, the wild, it's one of them, it's one of my favorite things to do to enemies.

It's hilarious and it's fun and I would love to have it in Minecraft. Yeah, I think of Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat. You could use that too. Mmm. And Play Breath of wild cats of all, so fun. I recommend it for anyone who is into those kind of games. Yeah, Zelda. Zelda has good game. Yeah. My number one potion that I made. Hmm. So the first thing I thought of When you mention the enchantments but I wasn't

thinking enchantments. Apparently, I came up with the shadow potion, it makes you undetectable from skulk sensors and wardens but again it's got a shorter duration. So you go down the deep dark. There's all the sneaking around. You got to do? What if you don't have to sneak? Now, I'm thinking, if you were to run, it might offset the potion so you might have to walk to use the shadow potion. So yeah. Might it make it a little easier getting through there? I don't like the word easier.

Yo, but I guess if you want to take the easy way out, maybe there's, they're rare. Maybe you can't make these. Maybe you can only find them in the loot. 'You have to make them with wear the Roses which are not super easy to get their kind of dangerous to get unless, you know, how to build the farm. Yeah, really rare item that would make this, you know, a lot more doable. I feel like, I don't know what else you would use to make this potion. I was trying to think of that.

Maybe I'm thinking you don't make it. You find it in the loot, in the end, or in the deep dark. Yeah, but it helps you get around the warden. Thanks. Every carrying coal and other traps to instead of calling it shadow that since the warden can't see. Anyways, I would be thinking what's that Call of Duty perk that keeps your footsteps, quiet. There's going to be some cod Fanboys who know this like a Tippy Toe potion. It's tippy-toe potion. That is not what it's called.

Mmm, because originally you thinking, okay, I can go down there with an invisibility potion not you know, that's not going to work because he can't see you. Anyway. Yeah. There has to To be some kind of Silent potion. There you go. Silent potion. Even that it was silent something. I don't know it from that game. I've got to find it now because I won't be able to move on my brain.

Won't let me or maybe it'd be nice to maybe slow falling worked in that instance, maybe you have slow falling, and you become undetectable dead silence. Is it silence? Dead Silence, move, quietly and resisted. Shouldn't from acoustic sensor. Yeah, it's similar to that. Yep, get be sensed. Hmm. The final enchantment, I have is called the float enchantment. I think people are going to figure out where I'm going with this. It's for bows. I said try to turn away.

I said, tried it is supposed to be bows and crossbows but hitting an enemy with an arrow will cause them to float like getting hit like a shoukry bullet. Okay. So you could shoot it into me and they'll start floating up and then They fall in die again, just fun ways to kill mobs in the game. Yeah, and the big thing is I see this being useful like if you craft a dispenser with bow with this, enchantment on it levitation. Yeah fragile rock. We could call it levitation floats.

Just is, it's a fun word. Imagine it is dispenser with this bow. In it, you get shot. Now you can use it as an elevator if you don't want to use a water Vader or bubble Vader. Yeah, it could be useful, could be cool. Could be using bunch of ways. Yeah, I think a lot of people would probably rather have arrows that have this potion effect on it. Hmm. Yeah. That's kind of it for my enchantments. I like them.

I definitely uses think everything we named had something useful or fun mmm in it. So yeah, yeah.
