Transcript

Hey everyone. Welcome to the withering effect episode 120. Today's date is November 7, 20, 21 and I am Duds or Duds versus known to the rest of your webs and I'm Jimbo, you may know me as Jimbo slice 23. Today we have a guest short Zelda 22. Welcome to the show. It's good to have you. Mmm, if you want to start off by telling us what you do a little bit about yourself, sir. so, it was a little About it quite a

bit. I'm short in real life, Zelda Ocarina of Time was my first-ever favorite game? Mmm. Heck yeah, the first one I ever played that, I really got into the story of and 22 is my lucky number because what could be better than tutus a 2323 home? I know it's funny. You guys are so, the number 21 is actually huge in my Emily really basically half of us are born on the 21st day of every month. Oh wow. Oh that's hilarious. I'm December 21st. My sister's May 21st our cousin

September 21st. So 21 is a big number and our family 23 is bigger than 21 and 22. By the way. Yeah. But it's not blackjack the great, isn't it? Yeah. So other than just breaking down my name, I primarily stream Minecraft. So I would say for about the last two years, I've just pretty much been a Minecraft players dreamer, and I was kind of brought in by a streaming overlap a streaming. Funny does actually read it into my stream and I misread his

user. Yeah. Oh, I'm gonna go out on full record here. Here I read it as Studio because streamer big brain is a very real thing. You can't always read and especially when chat comes in and there's like a lot of new names and you're trying to catch him fast. I read it as do do. Yeah great. That's why I don't read people and so he actually had rated in while I was playing on my SMP that me.

My husband are owners admins on called hourglass SMP and it is very much, a kind of a test server for us. Like we had been playing on an SNP for about a year before we launched our own. And we came to the idea that we really enjoyed the community areas the most, on that SNP, like building a base, building our own Farms is always fun, but we kind of thrived in our devious world when we had big

Community projects. So what we did was we created this server as a limited time and Community build world. And what that means is we set a time limit of only six months and we launched on July first and the server is going to go down on December 31st. So that's like been pretty much consuming all of my creative time for the last several months because we're so focused on. Every month going to a new area and building new themed area. Yeah.

Well that's cool. Yeah. We chose a like an overarching theme for the server of Magic? The Gathering so that we could Mash two of our interests together. So we take ideas and themes from Magic the Gathering and builds them in Minecraft. So we're centering it around the five Mana Cycles. I don't know. What do you guys play? Magic, the Gathering. Are you familiar with it?

At all, not at all. I looked at it a little bit when I know I was checking out the server and you mentioned the Manna Cycles, I was like, wonder what this is and I've I wasn't able to get the grasp of what it was. I saw like five different cards with different environments.

Yep. So what it is, is Mana is the power source for all the Spells. It's basically it's the energy if you think about it, that way that you pull from the land in order to cast your Teachers and your Spell's and to help protect all of your stuff. And so each of the five different man has is both a color and it represents a plane or like a like, a land formation basically.

So there is white, which is the planes, which is like big fields like, you know, lots of open space and then there's blue, which is Islands, obviously, that was a little bit easier to explain And then the next one is black swamps, and then red mountains and then green and Forest. So each one of them has a color and like a personality of their own. And so, what we're doing with each one of those areas is we're building.

Our are on a mushroom Island, first of all, because it was it was before the wonderful lighting update that we're getting next update. So we wanted to be able to concentrate on the Things side of everything and not so much on the mob proofing. And so we found a seed with five mushroom islands within three thousand blocks of Spawn.

And each month, we're moving to a different area and we're picking a build style and like a color palette of blocks and we're all building in the same area to get kind of these huge build projects done. That one single player would just wouldn't be able to do. It's pretty unique. Yeah, for anyone One, you need to go see it because these aren't like small little village builds. These are massive builds and the fact that you're getting them

done in a month is crazy. The first one to go with the the fact that they're big builds is a month line that we built on for the white Island. There was a cathedral full like Grand scale Cathedral, there was a fortress which actually we had to expand the island a little bit because Is one of the members on the server, just kind of went crazy with it. So we actually had to add on because we didn't have enough space on their measure valence. So we basically doubled the size

of the machine islands. And then a whole village and a lighthouse and a shipping Dock. And that's definitely was my favorite one so far because really everybody just embraced the challenge in that month. Yeah, when everything is new and fresh, you have a path and that That to me that's the best thing about starting a new season is seeing the path emerge and what

you're doing. Yeah, seeing the vision start to come to life like because we've been planning it for about two months before we actually got in world and so just like seeing everybody's contributions and like kind of what everybody gravitated towards was really cool. It's nice seeing different snp's. Like this you know normally get the same old you know get your group together and build on a server type of deal but to have it. Like this is pretty cool.

It's pretty unique. You're starting to see that a little more with smps. I'm digging it. Well that neat the short time period. You guys have set for yourselves too because a lot of ESPYs take a year before they finish a map and you guys are like six months go. Yeah.

It's a bit long. It was definitely a little bit of a we don't know if we can hold interest long enough like let's just Stick with it. As long as we've got the inspiration was quite and to kind of test the waters, but I think I think everybody's still very interested but you guys aren't you get two months left to. So yes it's coming up fast though. Well and it happens to work out that 118 is right around the corner too. So that could open a whole new

ideas for you guys. Oh, and it already has, as I mentioned, it was me. And my in time the planning side of it and he's got an idea for what we're going to roll into next year with the update where it won't be one overarching

theme for the whole server. But each month we are going to let the community decide what the next build style builds theme is and because the lighting is also being updated, we're going to be able to work a lot more underground and like the example that he used, I don't know if you guys have seen the movie goon Oh yeah, yep, kind of a classic.

So hopefully this is a reference most everybody understands but that underwater pirate scene with the shifts and like the waterfalls and all the like you know traps and stuff that they have to navigate like that was one of the ideas is that now with an under the caves and the lighting improvements, we're going to be able to do something like that. Even yeah. That should be cool to see. Yeah so and we've just got so many ideas from Min.

And it's going to be really fun to see the server open up a little bit, because Magic, the Gathering is not as well known in our community is Minecraft. So, we're giving them a lot of Laura, a lot of reference images. And this next time, it'll be the community is going to come in and be able to participate more with us and be like, hey, this is what I'm really interested in and then we are all going to kind of converge around that idea. You say participate, I say, dictate, trust me.

Those guys are gonna be like No, you're building this this month. Don't care. That's what you want. You're building this one. So yeah. So that was that was about me and my super awesome. Like I said that had to be one of the most best DM worst English. I've said but just stumble upon raids because I was like oh here's someone who has less than 50 viewers watching. I've got like 10. Let's see if we can't boost them and see what was Going on and sure enough. Yeah that was a great rate that

was it was real. While we were getting set up, is I'm not a very opinionated person. So, like, usually, when information comes about game updates or like numeration, like, oh, that's cool. And now I'm getting to hear a little bit more of like some critical feedback and being like, Oh, yeah, what you know, what would I think about this change? If I had no other information, like no other outside sources,

what is my own opinion? And so it's helping me kind of like I've never Think more critically, maybe bundles, bad and early, just do that one in there for Carl Carl likes when I say that he gets a hoot out of it but Jimbo how about your week? How interesting what week did you have? You know, you know about the same as last week. Haven't got to played the about things this week and the week before haven't been to inspired to play Minecraft. I don't know what it is.

I haven't been on the The server, as you noticed, mmm been working a good bit. I even picked up a day of work this Saturday. I know the winner is coming, you know, there might not be as much work ahead. So yeah. Trying to work as much as I can, but yeah, I still have time to play. I just haven't been playing, I don't know what it is. Just in a rut, there's really not much creativity. I got to put into it. You know, the build is there.

I just gotta put the time in. I think what it is, is all the work left. Just grinding work on my base. I have a really have a really big bass, if you didn't know she and finishing this thing up and detailing, it is going to take a long time and it's time that I've wasted away and haven't been playing with it. I did a little bit of recording, but that was a while ago. I got a little distracted with

the crypto verse again. You know, it's actually picking up a little bit but yeah, besides, that know. No inspiration to play. Minecraft haven't been watching too much Minecraft. Either a little bit of third life here in there but ya know, my craft for me this week, the whole decry anything to me. I take it as a lesson, don't learn. Yeah. Especially after me, Midway through the season, you saw I

quit my base. I was like I've done a building a new base and then I came up with okay, this is the old base, can still work. It's a lot of grunt work but I ended up breaking it off into, I can do this area. Yeah, in about 30 minutes so I marked out my base into 30 minute segments as I called him doing texturing and everything like that. So it's like every week I try to do at least two or three, thirty minute segments Ami just detail work and that made the grind 10 times easier.

Really smart way to break. And because that is one of the first things that I noticed, when I had big projects on my single player is just how insurmountable it always felt. Is like, I had these huge ideas of what I wanted to do and then I would start doing it and it would be hours later and it was hardly a dent. Yep. Mmm. That's where I'm at and I've always been like the grind e person, always built big and was able to finish and complete these things.

But yeah, the lack of me consuming Minecraft content does. Don't give me the info inspiration to go and play. I think it is. I think you just looking out for the wrong content may be so for the past three months, I've been looking for a ton of small YouTubers, mmm who are actually putting out great content and that's way more interesting to me than like, you look at hermitcraft, they had think half of them got sick for the past

month. So videos been relatively slow from there, which led to not a lot of content because that's usually my primary source. Found servers, like ramble, SMP Channel, 64. Basically Minecraft. These are all small hourglass and claps. I usually I usually am all about Zelda streams that that's my streaming section but these are all small people who don't get enough credit on the YouTube world. So I'm shouting you guys out now these are great content creators. You guys should go follow them

while. Make sure to join Zelda's next stream and I'll Check out those YouTube's that you mentioned. I've heard is the 64 Channel 64, our tail 64. Yeah. Okay. I've heard of that before. I do, you know, any of the members that are on it, just sticks? Arlington people Atomic. Dave kind of think of how I've heard of it. I've been propping him up in the weathering effect Discord for a while now, they're my favorite SP to watch right now. You're from Duds.

They've got interesting. Storylines, they're all great Builders and The thing it's all quality content. Like usually when you get to the like the smaller SP guys, the mic quality is not there, or maybe the video quality is not there because you're using just what you can get your hands on to start out. These guys are doing top-notch recording and editing microphone work, they have little story lines that don't dictate an entire episode.

So if you're not a fan of the storyline, it's really only five minutes to the content. And then on top of that, They're actually doing really nice builds and showing it. They're not doing here's a 30-second time lapse. And now I'm going to go mess around for 25 minutes. So yeah that's what I like. I like it. Nice builds and all but I think a good storyline really UPS the quality. Yeah, always been into that channel. 64 has great story lines, so nice.

Like I said, they're not overwhelming. It's not. I missed an episode from this one person so I can't watch anymore. It's like nah, you just hop in. Watch that was my challenge when I was Slotting third life is because I knew if I watch one, I'm going to want to watch them almost like Pokemon, gotta catch em all. So I had to actively tell myself no because I wouldn't get anything else done. Yeah, but watching The Fan Art come out for third life made

made that choice a little bit. Regrettable there's some awesome fan art 4/3 life. Yeah. Jimbo anymore things this week now then shout it out on ton of small YouTubers. Know a whole lot of That whole lotta Nothin. So, yep, at least you're consistent, right? So, how about your, we my week included a finale? Well, includes a finale. So, last episode, I had a poll for my community tab asking.

If they wanted another ripple effect episode or a project Moss episode, everyone voted for ripple effect. And so I was like okay I have this island to work on, that will take a good half the episode work on that and then I'll find Adults to work on the island took less than five minutes. I was like okay so I've got this down pat what else? And I literally sat for two days on the server just kind of walking around looking for stuff to work on. And you go you know what I'm not

inspired to build anything here. Everything I want to builds in my single player world. I think it's time for a finale and it just so happens. This season has the exact same amount of episodes as last season, so it's To me that kind of seemed like a sign gotta end on that. So yeah. Ripple effects season 3 finale should have come out Monday for everyone that's tomorrow for us. It all depends on my afternoon after this recording. I was going to say, I missed it. Yeah, it's not Monday yet.

Okay. Yeah, I'm remembering that we're recording in the future. I forget every time it's Sunday for us but people don't listen to this till Wednesday, mmm, right. So yeah. I started season for planning. You saw a little bit of it in the Discord. I posted the thumbnail for season 4. Hmm, which I'm pretty happy with looks good. Let's see, I did Carl skin.

I mentioned Friday night on stream about how I'm enjoying creating skins and Carl's like yeah, I just picked one online and changed a couple little things. And today that's my skin. I was like Carl. You want me to make you skinny said sure. So I ended up changing Carl skin up a bit. I want to do a wacky, crazy one but he won't give me a wacky crazy. Topic / idea to do his skin with could do something seasonal, true for the one thing is, Carl has a creeper face on the back of his hoodie.

I went ahead and change that to a weather because that's way cooler, 100%. Okay. Other than that, it's just a little 3D effects to make his skin stand out a little bit more. Nothing too terribly less than an hour's worth of work. What is it that you're having fun with making the Skins? I don't know really The layers, you've been using your layers. Yeah, I it's not like I'm doing anything weird like if you turn one layer off it does skin changes completely.

I'm not doing anything like that. I don't think enough people take advantage of the different layers to give a 3d effect for some things like on my gloves. My character wears. The wrist section is on another layer, so it gives it a bigger bulkier kind of texture. The undershirt It is on another layer so it looks like a rolled up sleeve. I have I forget what it's called. It looks like a scarf but it's

not a scarf. It's one of those things that you have around your neck that a lot of people are just pulling up and using as masks now. Yeah. I guess a bandana. It's I have one of those and that's also on another layer to give it a look as if it's sitting on top of the T-shirt not in the T-shirt, so use your layers when creating a skin. Gotta love the layer thing. Yeah. So yeah, I just kind of did that to Carlos skin. Like he has a hoodie.

So, the little strings that will draw strings in the hoodie. Those are sitting on a new layer. So they stick out the hood is on a second layer. He already had it on a second layer, but stuff like that jeans. If you're doing any kind of pants work, a couple horizontal stripes, and good locations, will give it a that person's Got Annie effect. Instead of you just walk on sticks, or you can detail it to be baggy. You can detail to be baggy.

If you put all the lines towards the ankles, it looks like baggy pants, mmm, or another layer towards the bottom. Yeah, so that's what I find. Fun is taking advantage of stuff like that and theming it. Like was, I think, ever, since I joined Ripple, I tried to update my skin and theme for the next season. Like this, season was Pirate Island. So, my Skin's a bit piratey next season. It's going to be Wilderness Lodge. So I've done a skin. That makes It look like I would be an Explorer.

Sounds cool. Not a lumberjack. I know people were going to go there so I did not do the flannel shirt. Yeah, so I need a theme from Carl. I know he doesn't know what his season 4 is going to be yet, so I couldn't theme it based around that but my tree work, my skin maybe that'll help. Jump boost. E inspiration. I think. I made your skin for this season, to didn't I? Yes, you did. And then that was just a small little update. Mmm. Yeah, I've got like an entire

folder of Duds kids. Like I have a costume wardrobe for whatever we're working on, I made a couple, but yeah, you made mine. Newest one. I made like my caveman type of skin. Yeah I got stung by bees at one time and I put like that was the most disturbing skins like swollen. Yeah like a swollen face. No one liked it there like oh my God everyone oh my God stop go away because it might like mouth is half closed. Just had fun with that one but either way I'm getting back on topic.

Got my single player world, which honestly will probably only be two or three episodes because I have the feeling 118 to coming before, December. I think we're getting really close to pre-release. You're very optimistic. Very optimistic. Yeah, figure. We have a pre-release already. If that was the case. Well, after seeing this week, snapshot, I think we're getting

really close to pre-release. Yeah, there's very little well and what is there is Big. So let's go ahead and hop onto the snapshot 21w 44, a Oh, a professional segue. So New World Generation. The chunks under Bedrock now updated. Yep. So you're going to get your deep site stuff though. I did see that there was a bit of a bug where you were supposed to be getting mostly deep site. A lot of people were still just

getting stoned. Yeah, look like majority Stone to me. That seems like somebody probably just had a texture swap in there somewhere that needs to be fixed. Yeah, you wouldn't think it'd be hard to That shouldn't be too big of a fix. Yeah. Yeah. So we've got that. That's the big thing. Once I've solved that I was like, okay, we're close because blending was to me, the probably the hardest thing they had to do. And the fact that they, this snapshot doesn't have any blending.

Lets me know that the blending from last week is good. It's where they want it. Awesome. Now they're moved on to this, so I'm excited. I'm really looking forward to it. Let's see, added an online option screen where you can now find Realms notifications, option and difficulty. When on a server, does java help rooms? My think it's just a drug. That's what I thought. So there's some Bedrock news. It's added an allow server listings. Opt out having your name

displayed on servlet. So like whenever you're going into your multiplayer Tab and you look to the side, it says like there's 250 people online and you hover over and it tells you who's online you can Change it so nobody knows your online sneaky. Oh, I always like that feature. I do too. Yeah, I don't want to join with Jimbo's on, come on. Good thing. I won't be on so I just I can't have that he'll have me recording stuff for his next episode.

I'll put you to work. Well, he's been saying the joke is for four weeks now. Hey when you're on I need to record something for my video and I am been on the entire time and he hasn't been yeah yeah that's next in the video but now I'm like, debating. Am I going to get this video out? So you better people are going to be upset. I know that's what I mean. I like I don't want to upset anyone. You can do it. There you go. I don't want to be like that. Go Jimbo guy.

Who promises promises something just doesn't follow through or else? My word wouldn't be any good. So now the big change, the big change that has me almost as Did for the Light update is sleeping now, only resets the weather cycle. If it is raining, when you go to sleep, I like that. That is huge. Huge, no more waiting and having people yell at you don't sleep.

Oh yeah that was that was a really big problem on the list server that we played on. They actually had to schedule once a month storms where the mod would actually trigger in the storm because it was it was a big active server and I'm notoriously sleeping. So now I got yelled at a lot. Yeah, dark is scary man. Especially if you're doing a time lapse it looks terrible exactly. Well, could you imagine night and rain in a time-lapse YouTube? Have a fit?

Yeah, yeah. I guess it's a new, like, lightning rods. And, you know, the Trident and everything people want to have their storms every once in a while. Yeah, but yeah, the whole reset of the weather can damage that know. So this is a good change. Also, for the red Stoners blocks and fluids are now also affected by simulation distance. So it'd be a good idea, to go ahead and test that behavior with your Contraptions. That make sure it's still

working correctly. I'm not sure what that means me, neither and they say, they also have optimized entity collisions. So the 24 cows in your little hole. Like I do for food, that shouldn't be as laggy anymore. That's big. Yeah, I loved my cow Farms anything to reduce lag. I think I'm going back to golden carrots next season. Yeah, yeah. Was it that laggy, or was it something else? No, it's to have a good cow Farm one. You got to get the cows then.

You have to get a good way to get the wheat and then you got to do a villagers. If you are going to deal with villagers, just get villagers, a trade, golden carrots. Takes a lot to get that meet their food source that I've been using on our glass is cooked porkchop. See we had someone who did one of those haugland Farms. Yeah, the first week I forgot myself AFK there overnight. We ended up with like 20-something double chests of cooked pork chop. Oh yeah.

Those things are so over P. Yep. And that's the best way. Well, here's the thing. Yes. They also Up leather. So if I was going to build one, I would only use it for the leather bracelet. That much leather for item frames. Every one of the server just looked great too cause black. Yeah, everyone just looks at me. Go are you the reason my friends died when you get that? No, I do not have that many item frames rum but I thought you

going to say bundles. Yeah, and because make a bunch of bundles so I can burn them in lava Yeah, that's it for the news. Like I said, I think it's one step closer to a pre-release. I hope you're right. Hope we see one soon. I hope I am too. Then again, I don't because I have a lot of work to do on my base. I like the pre-release season because there's so much excitement. I just like the like them energy Buzz that's in the community is,

is what I enjoy. I don't necessarily keep up with all the updates, but I just enjoy the height. Yeah, well yeah, I think about it with pre-releases. I think we've had as All as like one or two pre-releases before they release the update. But we've also had like 10 pre-release. So yeah, with the new release coming out, definitely gets the community buzzin. Yeah, things more active in Minecraft Community. I'm just hoping for a earlier release date.

I don't want mid-December because a lot of us are already going to be pretty busy. Yeah. A mid December update. Might not be the greatest especially Their servers that are going to launch right with the update. Its ripple effect. Season 4 is launching with the update. You guys aren't waiting for any like plugins or anything. We didn't last time but we're supposed to have a community meeting here in the next little bit. So I guess that will be talked about then I dunno.

I want replay mod. That's really hard to not have. That's the big one OptiFine. But usually they're pretty quick. I'm ditching us. OptiFine, you going, I'm going. What's it called? Sodium sodium, sodium works so much better. The only reason I have OptiFine right now is because I have the underwater dome and it looks absolute garbage without Kinect. Laughs that's a good point. So if I didn't have that Dome, I would have jumped on sodium's. Train a long time ago.

It doesn't have the same features as OptiFine, so don't think of it as a replacement, but for me, Performance is always better in my world, so I'm going sodium because it's more performance in OptiFine. Let's go ahead and hop into listener comments. We actually posted a question from last week and that was, which enchantments us potion. Would you guys pick from Jimbo and eyes discussion?

And the enchantment was the freeze enchantment for the Trident, which I was super excited for Cadets. That's such a fun one, to be able to stab something and turn it into an ice cube. Jimmy was just hilarious. Hmm. And then Jimbo's x-ray potion was the other one? Qi D Hax? They're both 24%. We got 83 votes on that. That's pretty cool. Yeah, we do have a lot of Spotify listeners. So yeah, thank you guys for being a active there, and get involved in the boat.

Have more of those coming soon. I'm sure. Mmm, we do have a couple listener comments. Yeah, we're going to stick with Spotify. This one's from black hole nerd. They asked what new items do you think would fit in the deep dark? Not just something with an exclusive enchantment but a whole new item. Thank you for making the show and I appreciate it. Keeping, it kid appropriate. I mean, I want to use my button, but Carl says, I'm not allowed to try very hard to keep it kid appropriate.

I didn't say anything. I just hit the button by the way. Someone's gonna be like oh my God. Oh my God. Say no, I just hit a button. Just went to PG-13. No, I want a grappling hook. Oh, that would be amazing. I was considering that a grappling hook in the deep. Dark wood be worth it. Yeah, because a lot of people have talked about once they get into the new Big caves that it's hard to get out of. So that would be an awesome item to be able to just be like, okay I see a ledge up there.

Yoink. Yeah I'd mention it for the the mountain update. I saw a mountain update as like, how cool Be to have a grappling hook to get around these mountains and in the caves to, yeah, there's a deep dark. I mean, you have things like the twisty Vines and the Weeping Vines from the nether, that could essentially do the same thing. But then you're also carrying bone meal with you say, nag rap, like hook, and it should be like

arrows. And the fact that you can, you'll wind up wasting like string, or rope, or whatever. So it's not just, I have a grappling hook, I can now just Hook to everything infinitely, I would add value. Mmm. Yeah I know keep spider farms for a while where the big XP but then under Anders, hmm. Yeah. As cave spiders Farms are so dangerous to. They are so dangerous Jimbo died like 20 times no season team 1:46 over and over. Oh yeah, it was. I who died twenty times in the

beginning of a season. Yeah, but yeah. It for me, it's interesting. Farm blaze farm and then the cactus furnace Farm are all better XP Farms than a spider farm. Trying to think of an item to use down in the deep dark. I was thinkin grappling hook. It's crazy said that I'm ahead of you. I guess, I don't know. I kind of liked something to help get around the deep dark, that's what well, that's why I was thinking grappling hook, but something to like flashlights,

compress. Your Oops. You know how there's things down there? That can sense you now you know do your footsteps and you have to what is it Crouch to get around to? Yeah. Get through these or act. Do they pick up crouching steps? I know the warden does it. I don't think so. There's one block if you walk on top of it, it will still pick you up. But most of the other ones if you're crouching it wants into

okay? But if you walk directly on one of them and I don't remember the names Somebody knew named blocks. Yeah, it's the one that yells this creature. Yeah, tickets ass creature. Not too sure. Yeah. Any type of interaction with that block will set it off. Hmm. But yeah, what if we had something that could suppress your your feet but then I was thinking feather falling, you know maybe feather falling, if you put those on your boots, maybe that could give you that

light footstep type of deal. I mean, you're just basically asking for sneakers. Yes. Yeah, I'm not that's not an item. I'm gonna get anything really but whoa, leather boots might be the closest thing. Yeah, because I gave it the ability to stay on top of powdered snow. So it's almost like it's light in your footsteps that kind of makes sense. Yeah, maybe another reason to

wear them. Hmm, one idea I had and I don't know if it's I've never heard of it before but would be an item you get outside of the deep dark and taken with you. If the I added the sound to the goat horn. Yes. So you could blast it and temporarily like immobilize the warden so like like it's just so overwhelmed by the extra sound hmm that it like can't since you for a short time like 30 seconds like that so you can book it for a little bit and get a get a safe distance.

I think I actually mentioned that last week or the week before I mentioned something about the go horn was still in creative. Mode. That was wrong. It's not even in creative mode. Yeah. Yeah. We were thinking of ways to use it. Yeah. But no I had the exact same idea. That's a good idea too. If you want me to get around the ward and I want to over stimuli, is it to a point where it freaks out? Yeah. And just for a temporary, like,

if it's good. Invert and like you don't have anything else like you know, yeah, possibly give it a cool down. Yeah, with the horn can't blow it over and over normally we would use knock-back for that but you can't knock back warden. So it would make sense to be able to paralyze it so you can get away. Yeah. That's a good item. Mmm, should we go to the next question? Yeah, we have a question from kitty cat to what do you think?

Would would be a great use for the Matching table, currently, it's useless, and there's there aren't any villagers around if there aren't any villagers around, we've talked about this couple times just briefly though. For We Go Together. Hey Jimbo, you're sliding back now. I put my mic down a little bit. I think it's like face and my chin. Let me put it up. I was watching the sound waves on the back of it. Like Jimbo's really quiet.

I get like, Get Out. Start fading back here and then Jimbo has The tendency in his wheel each heritage's, I'm like, I end up in the Next Room. I'm like, how am I in here? I didn't slide into the exact opposite problem if I get too excited on stream and forget to pull away from my bike, if I like it, I'm talking loud and excited. It will start to death in my audience, they're like, oh my gosh. You're so loud. The Fletching table currently. Nothing.

I know it was meant for arrows to start with. Yeah. But it was also supposed to be part of Jeb's combat update, which I really thought was going to get mentioned in mine cotton and it didn't. Yeah, I mean, first thing you think of with Fletching table or the bone arrow? I'm hoping that you know when it does become an active Station that we can customize our arrows in our bows, like I mentioned before. I shoot a bow, shoot a longbow and pretty similar to the

Minecraft bow. And you never go to Bow Shoot with someone with the same bow or arrows, you know, everyone's got everything, customize and be nice to use that table. To customize, your very own bone said of everyone, having the same looking one, right? Using different words for different. I know the Ability of a real-life bow matters. So like, if you use Birch, for example, is it softer or more flexible material than dark?

Oak, for example. So then you can get, I don't know what that changes in real life shooting, but I have heard that a flexible bow matters. Yeah. There's certain, would that people prefer their bow to be made out of bamboo. That's the only one I could think. I'm sorry but there's a It's a different big list I got and it's not even would in Minecraft, mine will segue perfectly into mending Minecraft. But fishing lures for fishing

rods. Okay. That makes a lot of sense, too, because you have to crack those with similar materials. There's a hint of what's to come that. All we got for Fletcher table. It's a hard table to come up with that ts4. Yeah, yeah, you figure. I mean the crack Ting table can already do all this stuff. Yeah, that's the devil for the bone. And even on the side of it, it's got your arrows and stuff on the crafting table, it's kind of.

I don't know. I think the only thing I would add as a bit of like, the customizable bow aspect is just how many different types of bows they have in dungeons because I really started playing. I was surprised by all of that and like, taking some of the inspiration for just the different At ease that I can do. Yeah. Oh, don't get me. Started on dungeon weapons and armor. I love every bit of it and it should be in Minecraft. I want it all exactly.

Building blocks. They have dirty stone bricks. Why is that not a thing? Now, I want to be able to take my course. Dirt makes it with my stone brick and get basically Massey brick, but with dirt. Yes, yeah, get dirty. Yeah. Let's go ahead and move on. But thank you guys so much for those comments. Some of them were from Spotify, but one of them was from our Discord in our discords, the only place where you can talk to everyone who works on the show, easily, just take links word for it.

How are them? Honest. And craft is Please come and join me on the with. Ring right place to hang out with the people that work on the show and other fellow listeners, like, yourselves. The link is in the show notes. Join today, and let's discuss the game we love. Thank you for the Discord, add link each week on the show. We mentioned the top three members who've been earning XP and leveling up by participating in chat, excluding ourselves and moderators.

This week's top three discs or members are third ver, trees, second kit, kitty cat to and first ski 3012. Join in with chat on Discord and you could be mentioned next week. Picking the squared is the only place we can get involved in The Mending Minecraft vote this week, we asked you to choose between one of three items for Or us to discuss it and prove your choice is where the fishing rod, the bow and saddle. And the winner of many Minecraft

this week is, Fishing rod. Congratulations, fishing rod. Fishing rod, had 23 votes to burrow had 21 votes right behind it. Mmm, and saddle with 14. So it's pretty close. A few things on the fishing rod. Fishing rod is a tool used primarily for fishing. It's crafted with three sticks and two string. There are two unique Chapman's for the fishing rod, lore and luck of the see there's three different levels to each of

those. You can also Put mending and Unbreaking on those do recommend that fishing rods, can be found by fishing. Found in loot chest, drop by drowned or traded with fishermen villagers. The fishing rod can be used to hook mobs or items in Java edition only and some entities and even players. The fishing rod can be reeled in which drags them towards a player and Deals. No damage. You can also add a carrot or work fungi to the fishing rod to

control a pig. If it's the carrot, Strider with the the war fungus sorry while riding them. And that's all I have for the fishing rod. One, I didn't realize Bedrock could not use a fishing rod to pull entities to them. I think it's items such as items. Well I can't hook an item in a chest and pull it out. Yeah. I don't it would have to be on the ground which would consider it an entity. Okay. Yeah. The fact that they can't do that. I mean let's fix that because

some parity go in there. Yeah I've seen that mechanic used in many. Games, so kind of limits their ability to like play with that because it looks like a really fun mechanic. Exactly. Hmm. And then, when it comes to things, I thought of there wasn't a lot with fishing rods. They already have some unique cool functions in the fact that you can put different items on to control different mobs in the

game. So I kind of wanted to continue that with specific lures to catch specific kinds of fish. So maybe you're only looking for Salmon. So you need to come up with a custom salmon lure. Again, this is why the Fletching table would be a nice table to incorporate in here. You have I don't know, 12 different lures for several different fish. The other thing would be when you catch a fish, maybe not have it already come to you dead. So right have it like common

like flop around at your feet. Give you a chance to pick it up with the water bucket. That's a good. That's a good one. I'm just a man chuckling because I'm a Imagining catching a puffer in that instance, that would be amazing because it would poison you. It's worth it. A little bit of spice of life there. That's a good point. It could be dangerous fishing, I mean real life. Fishing is a Right? You gotta do what you gotta do. It's way more realistic, that way at least, right?

And that's what I was going for. We have so many different versions of tropical fish. Now that maybe you're looking for one, kind of tropical fish that has a certain color palette, it might be worth being able to custom a lure to that. And if that's case, you don't want to hook it dead. You want it to be alive. So maybe have it flop around at your feet for a minute. Mmm.

So you can scoop it up and a bucket of water and now that fish farms are kind of died out, You can't build them anyway, this would be a good change in that sense you know especially if you have a world that you can't find like the coral reef and it would give you the opportunity to find some of those tropical fish. If you're like see this limited, very true. Mmm. Now, we do have a suggestion from the Discord. J-man says, maybe you can actually reel in the fish.

Okay. Yeah. Instead of just throwing it out there and you automatically catch it, maybe you got to time it. It. I mean you kind of have the time at now if you wait too long after the bobber starts. Oh yeah, Robin. Yeah. But then it's just one click to pull back. I think he's like fighting with it. If it's going to be a more rare item that comes back. Oh yeah, would be a cool. So like you don't just, you know activator like full got it. More of a challenge. Yeah. Dead beneath.

Its one thing, I noticed in the Discord when the batsuit suggested Just wondering how it would be implemented. That's all right, all right, let's go ahead and move on to our topics for quickly running out of time and we're going to go over what we saw for 118. 119 and Zoda, you've made mention that you guys are already planning your next season based off the updates. Yes. What are some of the things you're looking forward to in 118

119? I think the very first thing is just the increased World tightly. Ready to kind of give builds a like almost like a vertical breathing space. Yes. Because there was the first island we did this time had floating islands and because of the world height limit like some of them. I felt like I pulled them down so that they that I could still build stuff on top of them but then it felt like they were kind of interfering with some of the

Builds on the ground. So to be able to go vertical and some of my Favorite builds in the history of Minecraft that I've seen are these like awesome like like fairy towers are like wizard towers and they just go up and up and up. And so to have that vertical height and the ability to kind of play with levels. More is definitely something. I'm excited when I was first testing the money at teen caves

and cliffs update. There was a outpost on top of one of the new types of Friends. And it just like it was, it was little, it wasn't, it was teeny tiny on top of the mountain, but it just sets such an impressive, like presence over the valley below is like, we're watching you. Yeah, nobody wants a squished build. So yeah, vertical height could be, it's going to be much. I like the fact that they went ahead and they raised the clouds

on top of that too. Yeah, course, I don't know many YouTubers who actually play with clouds on it anymore. It's like, oh, you're 50 blocks above the ground. Here's a cloud. Yeah, yeah. Actually plan on building in the sky next season two. So I'm pretty excited with the new y levels. What about the deep dark? Yeah. Are you excited for the deep dark? Are you just scared crapless? Like, me and Jimbo terrified.

Absolutely terrified. I am horrible at caving and Mining. It's always the most dangerous thing for me. Like, I could handle another pretty Well, but actual caving. I always get myself in like tight like confined spaces. So this this not So Much Anymore, like it's not going to be tightening, fine. It's just going to be all the mobs in my face and the amount

of caves. Now, mmm, it's so easy to get lost in. Like if you were to die like before, if I were dying in a cave, I could never find where I was, you know, and now it's bigger I'm probably not even going to get look like That girl's gone. Yep, that's gone. Your start from scratch. My husband is very excited for the deep dark though because he very much likes to explore. So he's excited to get into the

cave system. So I think it's I think it's nice that it's something that people feel differently about. Yeah. I'm just, I'm just gonna let him go down there. You have all that fun for me? Yeah, definitely gonna enjoy the challenge. Mmm. Oh yeah. Having once. But unless there's something really nice down there, which I hoping there are, they're hinting at cool, new loot being down there. Mmm, so hopefully there is, if not then yeah.

I'll explore it once and then I'm like, okay, I know what it's like, see you. Yeah. It's kind of the way in cities are now is like yeah, they were fun to explore at first but now you get in. Get your shelves in a light rain, you get out right there. You have to make many trips feel like another Other thing on the new update, we have a new mob coming. Yeah. The islet was that the mob you voted for? Or did you get to vote in the mall boat? I did, I voted away in both rounds. Nice, huh?

Yeah, I did too. It should be a lot of fun. Not only the technical benefits that could come from it, but the fact that you could have a little buddy following you around, I was just scared for. The copper column was kind of my second choice. Eyes. I just know. My luck is. It's in front of a door and I wouldn't be able to get in and out. Out of that. Be hilarious. That's true. That's all I could see how it goes, like, no other. Looks like I've with avoid that bad luck.

Bear. I had thought about that. I might go to Fort to see that happen. It's pretty funny. Yeah, copper Golem was my second pick. Luckily, I didn't have to go to that. My biggest worry about it was the we have like too many armorstands create slag nowadays, still so copper Golems. We're going to be basically replacing armor stands in the fact of statues and let's face it. People were going to have those things all over the place. Don't even ale is probably still going.

There's going to be someone who builds a sorting system with 40 of these sayings and every time it turns on lags everybody server, I'm hoping the benefits outweigh. Yeah, the downfall. Yeah. We don't know how the performance going to be with it. What about swamps you guys excited for swamps? Oh yeah. They look so good though. I still stand by. I don't think the rooted Mangrove textures quite there yet. Yeah. Was that a finished texture?

Was that just like, here's what we're working on. Yeah, I don't think it's a finis finish texture. That's why I'm kind of wasting the hey maybe you guys should change that, please. I loved everything about it and I felt really smart. We were having a like a live watch in our Discord. And I was like, as soon as they showed it was like, that's not dirt, that's not my silly but it is that on the ground. Hmm. I called it immediately. And everybody's like, what are

you talking about? It's probably just like, the, like the shade or something? Like no, no, no, no, that's different. That's a new block. Yeah. The mud. We kind of have a life party with just me Jimbo and Carl except Jimbo was like 30 seconds behind Behind. So we'd say it's love you. Like no that's this and like dude. No. He's black. Why are you guys so excited? It's it's just a boat or something like that. You guys should be talking about like, oh look, there's frogs.

You're like that was like a minute ago. Yeah, man. Yes, kind of waiting on the frogs. Oh, renewable Clay. Is going to be huge to the only problem is, you can't automate it. Yeah, there's going to be big

manual, clay forms. Well, I think like comfy and I've watched, he does a lot of those Like proves that the blocks that you think are hard to access are, you know, pretty accessible if you grind it because like the powdered Snow Bowl that he needed here, I was, I was pretty surprised by that. So I'm seeing the renewable clave in very much.

The same light is like, yeah. If you've got a system in place early and just like maintain it and, you know, do a little bit of the time you slowly build up those resources over time then you've got huge quantities, right? And they are, sprinkling it out through the world to like you. There's a lot of it in the Lush caves and they make it renewable with the mud now. So that's pretty cool. Mmm, what are your thoughts on frogs?

I was very surprised by the model so Derpy like yes, it's the best part but I love What about there is biome differences? I thought that was such a cool thing because I know the original vote was just, I think it just showed him in the swamps so to take them and to spread them out and see what the effect would be of the biomes of the whole world. So I just I thought that was a really like a stroke of Genius. If I can say that because I was like, I would have thought about that, right?

Yeah, it's something you didn't really expect. Well, I can't say the Mojang Dev team whenever they're like. We're going to implement this, they do a ton of research into what they're implementing. So whoever was like, okay, let's do frogs probably read for an entire week about frogs around the world. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you're familiar with Zelda but I don't like bees. You know, never been a fan of bees in real life mainly but I wanted the frogs to eat the bees.

You know. I wanted that to be a thing. Apparently, they eat the fireflies, but I'm still hoping, you know, the frogs can eat two bees. I think I mentioned that every episode just trying to put out there. Maybe they're listening to this one. Yeah, that would be hilarious to see. It's like Like in a cartoon like the proportions just aren't quite right because like the be and the Frog is going to be almost the same size from what

it looks like so far. So this looks like the bees little bigger froggy in this big baby. And if frogs everywhere, What else we got on the new update? I think they are plan on fixing more biomes. They really haven't shown much, you know, just the swamp, but it is the Wild update and they are fixing, you know, biomes you would think so. Yeah, well I mean we had the artist rendition of new Birch, forests. Yes and stuff. So there could be other stuff.

If we just got what we were showed still, wouldn't be a bad update. Mmm, he said, I was kind of hoping In for an inventory updates, I think we're getting close to that time where it kind of needs to happen. Yeah it's pretty unmanageable. A lot of times I found myself carrying around like five or six Joker's to do detail work in our Islands lately because you need like a bunch of wood variants with them to Stone variants, a bunch of Deep Sleep variants.

All the all the, what you call the flight, the florals like the bushes. And the Plants and all that, like accessories. So, it's like you have a shelter for all the different accessory blocks that you might need. Yeah, and there's more blocks. Now, we with the mud. The new wood. Mmm-hmm Mangrove would new leaves. Yeah, I'm definitely digging the, the mud bricks probably end up using those. I don't know how I feel about her, man. I need to see him in some more builds.

Yeah. I think on their own as a whole build, it was overwhelming to me. Like, I didn't like I understand what they wanted to show that type of housing that is primarily made out of mud bricks, but I think mixing it especially since that's kind of how I build the most as mixed textures seeing it with other items will will help me get more comfortable with it. But I liked, I liked that there's another brick option because the red bricks are sometimes hard to work with the.

I could see the mud bricks being used with a lot of stone bricks. I think it's a similar pattern if I'm not. Taken mix and match with those for texturing should be fun. Yeah, the mangrove would. I'm was it.

I don't know too big on. I mean it's another would, you know, it's a little different but fairly similar to the Jungle I feel like eventually there's going to be a whole gradients of wood and so they're going to like fill in all in between, but it felt like a very weird starting point to go between two of the least like least used woods and find a mix there instead of Down a more gray, color was like a Driftwood or something. It's something that gets

mentioned in my community a lot. Yeah. I use occasionally logs like crazy just because that great texture on the outside, acacia wood on itself. No. Yeah. Yeah. You can't use the search Librarians of it. Like I was trying to make a petrified tree. I've tried twice the and I don't, I don't learn from my own mistakes, but there's not until you start mixing in the stone blocks.

You do. Get that like the ability to do a really good organic shapes in a petrified tree because you just don't have that type of wood, stair, and slab. Yeah, and stripped log textures. Have been some of my favorite wood textures and with the acacia you know, it goes orange, so little off-putting guys, we are over time. So I think that's going to do it for the show today.
