Episode description

In this episode, DuDs and Jimbo discuss the first Pre-Release for Minecraft 1.18, Caves & Cliffs, which brings back the Amplified and Large biome worlds in the Create World screen, now they have been adapted to the new terrain. World types “Caves” and “Floating islands” have been removed from the world creation screen and the transition between new and old terrain is less “cliffy”. Plus, we have two listener comments, the first from not_red_fox about resource packs, and the second from kpopkebam who asks which three things DuDs and Jimbo would want to be changed/removed/added in the forthcoming combat update. Also, DuDs and Jimbo discuss the pros, cons, and parity differences between Java Edition and Bedrock Edition to help you choose which to play.

Transcript

Hey everyone. Welcome to the weathering effect episode 121. Today's date is November, 14, 20, 21 and I am Duds versus known to the Red Sea and whips and I'm Jimbo, you may know me as Jimbo slice, 23. So what have you been up to this week, Duds coughing?

I don't know if you were going to be able to hear in my voice, but for some reason, my cough which was essentially gone last week has come back the last two days with a Vengeance and I Can't barely get through a sentence without having to call off my throat is so sore. Get the cough drops they working. No, I'm at a cough drops. I went through yesterday, went through an entire bag of cough

drops yesterday. I woke up with a little bit of a scratchy throat, but certain to clear feel a lot better. Mmm, Yeah, Yeah. The good news is like that's the only symptom is a cough, I don't have fever. I have a bit of a runny nose, but my nose is always running any time. Any kind of weather changes With Carolina my nose just goes but it's probably a small cold. The weather is getting cold here too. Well our weather is fluctuating like crazy like Friday.

It was almost 80 degrees this morning, it was 41. Hmm. She was almost 70, Friday for me and today, it's like in the 30s, so it's pretty close. Yeah. So you're getting the same kind of whiplash of whether you don't know what to where. Exactly can you go outside? You go outside in the morning and you're freezing by the Afternoon, you're sweating mmm. Yep. Same thing, but I think that's contributing to the cough, but other than that I've been playing a lot that mean a lot of my own Survival.

I built a mosque Farm. Well, I use somebody else's design because I was playing with the diamonds and functionally, my farm Works efficiently. My farm does not, it wouldn't produce enough Moss to create enough bone meal to make itself. The fish are self-sufficient. Mmm. So you have kind of a waste and I built somebody else's Farm was actually a lot smaller than my design which is nice. It doesn't use four sided Stone

pushers. It uses one sided Stone puss pushers and a flushing system to get the items I did have to tweak it a bit because it was converting everything to bone meal, okay? And then giving you the extra bone meal that farm didn't use and I didn't want that.

I still want the Mas blocks. So I had to do some tweaking there and then Duds being Duds. You can't just have a mob boss Farm. I had to have for sugarcane Farms to because that completes the room, you know, and okay, I had to hook up all for sugarcane Farms to the same output, as the Moss Farm which then went to a silo system, which then turned all the extra stuff into bone me. It was a busy night last night. I didn't know they made They could self-sustained you know with the bone meal.

Oh yeah, didn't know. You could do that with those. Mmm. That's pretty cool. Yeah. So I'm super excited, I don't know when the episode will get out. I'm about halfway through with it. All the farmers are done and their functional and they're working. All I have left to do is decorate but I think I want to decorate with terracotta and that's something I don't have so I gotta like travel 4,000 blocks in the Overworld to grab terracotta and then come back.

So I can set up one of my my smart Transporters in my Hub or whatever base could tell apportion teleportation tub. So I'm not cheat ETD. The nearest Badlands is quite literally 5000 blocks away and another, that's nothing that's that's a short trip right over world. That's so much better than that's kind of basically been my

week. We had a ripple meeting last night, I should probably say that on air because I was asked, if we could go ahead and put out that Ripple season for has open applications for And who is a content creator and would like to join an SMP? We're looking for, you guys are Discord has a link for an application or maybe if you're a small group of people, let us know. Definitely. Just like send us your YouTube channel so we can watch some videos.

Yeah, if anything we just like watching content creators. So Mmm. Yeah, I was unable to make the meeting that the in-laws. Oh, lots of fun was had, there's a special phrase going around that I hope I can say without like giving away some of this. I'm excited for season four. I was not very excited for season 4 till this meeting last night, but the stuff we're doing next season.

I can say that. Not a lot of people are doing, if any and the phrase airdrop Lama is being passed around and it's the greatest thing I've ever heard and I love it, huh? Yeah. I was curious of what in the world that means. Maybe I'll find out. It's just the greatest thing of all time. If you are against are Llamas. We cannot play together so it's had no intention to be against that. Yeah. Oh, it's going to be great time, it sounds fun, for whatever, whatever it means.

But I will say that our meeting ended up, just meaning winter has a lot of work to do so I'm sorry winter. But let's also give a Gigi's to Winter for being our technical data pack guy. Yeah. And creating all these things. So thank you again winter. The a puts a lot of work into our Server and our demands. Yeah. That we asked for nice to have a winter and he doesn't ask for anything in return. That's the best part. Yeah that's true but that's kind

of it for miweek. How about you what do you been up to not Minecraft, you know, still one, my rut slacking off. Hmm. I got some comments about, you know, when's the episode coming out, you know, you'd promised an episode. Yep. And I've kind of figured, I'd have that common Talking about it for a while. If, if I do make an episode, it's probably not going to be as long as I previously stated, but I feel like I have to put something out.

So we got, you know, big news from Minecraft this week with the pre-release coming out. It's only a matter of time now. And it doesn't seem like a big anything big for the pre-release. Oh, it can't be but a month or so away, so either I can get on it. Now and get this episode out or I don't know. Yeah, it's not going to get done in time so I mean, if anything, you could crank up the live stream machine. Yeah. Do your because you said you just basically have grind, D. B to do, right?

That's all. It is. Just pretty much grown D and editing. Or you can do some grinding bits while talking to people and do a recap video as your final video for the season. Yeah, well I was thinking you know, just a big time Laps either big time, lapse are fast, time lapse, you know, get everything done in a time lapse, but yeah, that's something I could do on Livestream. Also, I can always hit the replay mod while streaming, you know, it's not a big deal.

Yep. That that's what how what I was considering when doing that. You know, the whole grinding bit. Hopefully like I don't want to make any promises though. Can't make any promises. I'm still. I don't know. Just not just not in that. You would have been hyped if you would have gone to this meeting last night. I guess we'll have to talk about that after the show. Yeah. Yeah, I got the meeting notes. It's going to get you pumped. Okay. Yeah, I'm curious to hear your take on it.

Yeah, but that's that's about it for miweek. That's it for your week. So should we happen to pre-release information? Yeah, I'm going to start with I called it. Throw that out there. You knew was going to be soon. Yeah, I said. As I said in the next week or two, and sure enough, there it is, there's not a lot of changes happening with the snapshot. There were a lot of bug fixes though, but none of them were

like big bug fixes. Like I think some of the bigger ones like Bedrock not generating in the new terrain, or deep site not generating, it was snow or stone. That's all been fixed. Those were obviously going to be fixed. Mmm, what was it villagers in snowy areas? Weren't spawning As snowy villagers they responding as just normal villagers that you would see in the plains. Yeah. But when it comes to big changes, they work some more on the blending, the terrain, it looks really good.

I mean, we've been saying this since we started seeing pictures of what's coming. 118 the trains. Beautiful Gigi's Mojang, you nailed it. Yeah, not too worried about that. It looks like the finished product. Yeah, I mean, there was a biome blending issues, you know, they Working on that for a while now. But looking at the latest snapshot and what they did, it looks like it's about done. Yeah, they had made mention that the underground train might not end up being the smoothest blind.

I don't think that's going to be much of people's problems. Yeah. Like I don't think we're worried about that so much. So the am not too worried about we're good there. What was the next thing? Oh, so Amplified is back there. F5 World type and it is insane. Just massive it goes to build level, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like straight up it puts blocks all the way as tall as they can. Like three something I can't really remember. The thing is like to 90 something.

But is it I think it's three. It was 256 or altogether. It's before, right? Yeah. But you also go - down. Yeah. So in total everything 300 and something. But Above zero. I think it's like 295 296 no I think they I mean I could be wrong but I think a took it 64 blocks up and 64 blocks down. We don't we go look, curious. We need to know this. This is a bit you know it's this world sighs. We're talking about. Why level that is? Yeah. And everyone says, well it's 320.

It's like, yeah, but you're not telling me the why I love. Yeah, I thought it was yet 64 would make it 32256 and I thought it went to - 64 on the bottom of, well, I'd see the thing is, I just watch Exuma Boyd's pre-release video. Yeah, and he was at 290 something and he couldn't place a block. Any taller. Hmm. Yeah. This is high limit 320. Yeah.

I didn't, I didn't look at his, I saw what he was doing, you know, showed the height limit, how he couldn't Place, Another block, but I never looked at the height that it showed, maybe I was looking at the wrong number when he did it. I don't know it, like it, like it matters who's really going to be building too. Kind of crazy height I might just might, you have fun with that. Yeah, it's 320 the height on his video says he's at 3:19 and he

can't place another. Okay, so I was just being crazy. That's what I get for staying up till 3:00 a.m. working on Redstone. We, it's usually me, that's gone crazy because I've been haven't played in a while either, but we got to Amplified. We have large biomes. They've got rid of the cave. Type and floaty Island type. They did say that if you want those types, there are data packs out there that essentially will give you the same thing. Mmm, again, that's kind of it for the snapshot.

We got a lot of bug fixes, but most of them were minor tweaks and changes, right? The rest of it was just kind of world gin stuff, which is extremely hard to talk about. Mmm. I wish we could just give you guys pictures, we actually yeah, yeah, we have with the terrain and stuff, it is. Hard to explain but we we actually watched an Ask Mojang video. Yeah. Trying to get more information on the LA but actually found some information about the deep dark and the loot. The unique loot.

Yeah and I made mention that I would like a sword with like better sharpness or an axe has a little bit better efficiency or something like that and Mojang's not doing that. They're like yeah, no we're going to give you something so unique. You could only Only find something like it in the deep dark. Yep, they said it could improve your game experience. Also. Yeah, not sure what that item is. It's basically going to be like, in a light ra is to the in cities, whatever this new loot

is, will be to the deep dark. I'm kind of hoping grappling hook. We made mention on our Spotify, question of last week's show, what are some things we'd like to have in the deep dark and a lot of you guys said you want to grappling hooks to hmm? Yeah, I think I Like the grappling hook can be crafted though.

It could be a craftable maybe a maybe they make it so you can't maybe only let's just take half a second and think about it we know ancient cities are going to be underground in caves and stuff. What are some things that would kind of work to that area that? I mean the thing I think it was a hard hat with a light on it. Yeah. Well it doesn't sound like it's mainly for the deep dark either like it could be used throughout the Game. Well, I mean, you look at the light ra, we don't use the

elytra, just for the end, right? But it helps a lot. Yeah. Well, and the theming of worthy Elijah is makes a lot of sense. It's on a floating in ship over the void. So to get there and get the pair of wings, makes total sense. So if you're getting something that specifically in the deep dark, it would need to be kind of themed around being in a dark cave. Okay. And make sense, if that's what

I'm getting at does. Necessarily have to be for the deep dark but themed around that way because let's face it. The Elijah is the end all be all cool thing. You're definitely on to something with yeah, the grappling hook but I think you're right. And the fact that a grappling hook to me, I would want that more craftable than finding. Yeah, I think attaching rope to a crossbow, but officially, give crossbows so usefulness.

Mmm. So that could be working as a grappling hook, What if it was like a really unique crafting table that you can craft special items on? That would really I feel like that's a modded type of deal but maybe we do know there's new blocks down there. Yeah, we saw that in the teaser, right? At least one new block and it was in like a frame type of shape, right? I'm still under the assumption that ancient cities are going to be replacing strongholds or that. Strongholds will be inside

ancient cities that make sense. They definitely need to update the stronghold after seeing these. Yeah, that's for sure. There's just so much detail and so much so much going on in the deep dark. Like the stronghold, you'll see what little prisons and stuff like that. There's a bunch of different rooms. I love the library room. That's pretty cool. Yeah. And it's the most useful room in the game other than the actual end portal room because of all the bookshelves, Mmm.

Yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, that is something to think about, with the unique item. Hmm? Because As I like I would say maybe a new way to do rails and stuff, but you would want to be able to craft that too. And like you said, having a special table would be cool, but I would want to craft that tape. Yeah. It's a tough thing to think about Mmm. Yeah, we might have to think about that. And come back next week and see if we can it's a backpack. Maybe three unite unique items. Yeah.

For topic or something? Baby. Yeah, backpack could be in there watching be bundles. You can only get bundles in the deep dark. Now, I would lose my mind. That's a for those who played breadth of the wild, you have to collect these korok seeds, there's like nine hundred in the game so people will assume you'd get a really cool reward for getting all 900 of these things. So you go to you turn in all 900 and the guys like oh here's your special reward and it's literally golden poo.

It's like that's what bundles In ancient cities would be like to me, golden poop, but I don't think they're going to do that. I think it's gonna be something cool, I think it's gonna be something useful. At least I hope so especially if they're not going to give me a sharpening stone sword. Yeah yeah I think it's going to be big. I think it's going to be yeah pretty big game changer.

Like you said you can only find it in the deep dark so it gives you reason to go there and explore it and I could see it being a backpacks type item. Doesn't have to be a backpack. Yeah, it could be something else but I can It being backpack, like, especially considering bundles are non-existent right now. They're not talking about bundles anymore. Mmm, I think they realized bundles were not a fully-fledged out idea.

And I think they might have gone back and fully fledged it out into whatever is going to be down there in the ancient cities and you're onto something with the lighter to. Yeah, that's it goes to your person, you know, just like backpack would have had the same similar. Not I got I What you're saying? Yeah, yeah, it hooks hooks to your chest, like the chest armor would so, yeah, be pretty similar backpack. That might be it, it might be,

and I could be completely wrong. I have no idea, but I can tell you if it is something backpack. Like, again, it doesn't have to be necessarily backpack. It could just be a special box or Sho core box that you could access from inside your inventory. When yeah, let's get into some listener comments because we have a few, okay. Have to I'm gonna let you read yours first, okay? The first comment we have is from not red. Fox. Do you think that for a bit of

one episode? You could talk about resource packs. I recently got into them and have made some good ones. They made through and resource packs people who make their own resource packs, Gigi. Mmm, because that's not the easiest thing in the world. And I love talking about resource packs. We won't do it much this episode, but there will be An episode in the future because of some of the stuff we talked about in ripple effect last night. It will be brought up in a in another episode.

So we will be talking about resource packs. There is a couple pre and post shows for patrons, where we talked about some of the resource packs. We talked about the really like high-definition stress your computer out. Mmm, resource packs, and they're so cool. Looking the one resource pack that you brought up that I've recently came across on Twitter. More than anything is that stylized resource pack? Yeah, looks amazing. Looks crazy. So much detail. I'm actually a real fan of the,

what is it? Biddy craft. It's not a realistic style texture pack at all. It's more. I call it the Crash Bandicoot pack because that's kind of the cartoon style. They went with, and it looks so cool. I'd love to build a series with just that resource pack installed. I don't think I've seen it because you can't use blocks to Same way with this resource pack so it would definitely be like a new experience. Yeah. I don't think I've ever seen that guy. You seen it?

You just haven't realized you've seen it. No. Yeah, it's a very popular pack and these guys do a great job with it. I think the one I have installed now is the Patrick's mmm, you brought that up long time ago and I was checking it out. I really do like the Patrick's resource packs. Especially with the shaders. Yeah, it's really good. It's great looking back. But yeah. Not red fox. We will be talking about resource packs. We don't know exactly when we

will talk in my resource packs. Mmm, it might be a cool idea to try to get a guest on. That does resource packs. You have never had one of those. There's, there's a couple. I know. Well, we'll see about that in the future, hopefully not so distant future. Mmm, sounds fun. Yeah, yeah, next question, we have is from Kpop Kabam. Hopefully we're saying your name, right, we've added a question from you, like two days in a row if we're saying it wrong. Wrong. Let us know.

We'll fix it on the next episode but they ask what would be the top three things you want changed removed added to or whenever the combat combat update comes out. I think both me. You are on the same page of make the charging a useful weapon. Yeah I think that's number one. I'm really big into Jeb's mechanics with the bow. Yeah. How you know holding it longer messes up the accuracy as a Right now, you shoot a bow, it really doesn't go in the same spot every time and that could

be annoying. But to fix that, I think if you can release at the right time, you should be able to put that Arrow where you want. Yes. And I feel like that's the way it's going yet because for people who don't know, if you hold your cursor, perfectly still draw back. The bow on Minecraft 10 times, you will not hit the same point in times in a row. Yeah, it's pretty random. It's very random.

So Jimbo's talking About if you release at the same time, you should hit the same spot which is great. I love that idea. Yep. Release for accuracy. Mmm. And we have these Target blocks now. You know, people want to use them in. Sometimes you don't get the right strength of redstone signal from them. If you don't hit it in that certain spot and it's hard to with a random projectile. Yeah, what would be some list of? I'd like Shields to get a bit of a buff.

Yeah, me too. They're great early game. But not so great. Late game? Yeah, it's pretty much all that is, there's really nothing. No type of different shield. Yeah, you got your the same old Shield, it can't be enchanted, right? Can it be enchanted? Yeah, you're going to challenge you but this is no unique enchantments. No. I think you get like mending and Unbreaking. Yeah, I would love a knock-back on the shield. Hmm. It sounds more useful on the shield and the sword.

I mean it can be useful with the Sword. But yeah, with the shield, knock-back should get better on that than the sword. Yeah, yeah, this is, this is a tougher question because we're not PVP years, right? Yeah, what I've seen him working on, make sense. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a while since we've seen anything from Jeb's combat update, right? But the last thing I saw, I really liked and I was excited for the way it was going like, no saturation. That's not a thing anymore.

Hmm. So it's basically what you see is, what? You get. So there's no confusing background information. You need to learn about? Is there anything you would remove? Um, I don't know. I'm trying to think if there's anything in combat now. I really don't like I can't think of anything. Mmm. I know a lot of people are wanting that spam, click back and I'm sorry. No. Yeah, I don't want it back me. Neither I'm okay with it. Coming back in the version where

I think we saw. It does very little damage. Take. Oh yeah you're getting it. In two thousand paper cuts. Hmm. Okay. But yeah no it should not compare to multiple big Swings with the sword or an axe. Right. Yeah. I'm on the same page. Yeah, never was a fan of the spam clicking. Hmm, that's all I got. That's all I can think of. All right, well thank you guys for those two questions. Not red, fox and Kpop Kabam.

Those comments were from our Discord and it's the only place where you can talk to everyone who works on the show, easily, just take paragraphs 8 word for it. Hey there. I'm para and if you're enjoying the show and wish to get involved in the conversation head over to the withering effect Discord, it's the best place to give your opinions on the topics discussed on the show and who knows you could even be mentioned on a future episode? Follow the link in the show notes and join today.

Speaking of the Discord is, the only place you can get involved in our mending Minecraft vote this week, we asked you to choose between one of three mobs for us to discuss and improve your choice is where the fox silverfish and farmer. And yes, Carl. I do realize I skipped. The last segment. The last sentence in that ad, I didn't even realize it. Yeah, I realized halfway through reading them ending Minecraft script. Anyways, the winner of this week's, many Minecraft is

Silverfish wasn't even close. Like there was any competition, right? 40 votes for the silverfish only seven for the fox and six for the farmer. Mmm. Few things about the silver fish tank. So you could be here. Silver fish are small Hostile. Mobs found hiding in stone like blocks or summoned from spawners silver fish. Spawn from broken and festive blocks, which generate and strongholds underground and Mountain biomes. Igloo basements and Woodland. Mansion falls portal rooms.

Silverfish do not appear. If the block is broken with a silk touch enchantment. Silverfish spawner is can be found in the end portal room inside of a stronghold, silverfish attack players, Iron Golem snow, golems and call other silver fish in the area upon being hit. The silverfish can see through walls and path. Find toward the player. Silverfish being anthropods. So Earth take extra damage from being of anthropology, arthropods enchantment and receive slowness for upon being

hit. And they also don't have any drops besides 5 XP as all I got. For the silverfish one more thing. If you do, if you don't have Bob griefing on silver fish, can turn into an infested block when idle didn't realize that thought that was pretty unique. Okay, but yeah, that's all I got for the Silverfish. All right, so for those of you who didn't realize it's so we're fish are a real thing, they are real insect and they do kind of look like what so fish do in the game.

Obviously a lot smaller. Yeah. So we're going to be hitting at some of the stuff that they can do in real life and some of the stuff that might help out 119 just going to give you a little hint. The first thing is, the obvious thing I've been calling for this for a while, ever since it was And in a ripple effect meeting, silverfish should drop clay balls. Mmm. It would give usefulness to the silverfish. Whatever. I know we're getting renewable clay here soon.

It is a very tedious act to get renewable clay, but we are getting it silverfish Grinders would be a nice alternative. Also, if you're not wanting to build platforms to make mud into clay that that would be a good alternative and when you Like the kind of stuff. So we're fish eat like glue, and paper and cloth and stuff. It kind of makes sense that they

would spit out some clay balls. So you mix all that stuff together, you could get us off since kind of like clay, but one of the ideas I had with clay or silver fish is, silver. Fish are obviously attracted to paper, they like to eat paper so I thought you could throw. Paper on the ground and lure them kind of like you do with piglets and gold right now so you could get a silverfish attack to kind of stop if you throw some paper on the ground. Hmm.

Okay. Yeah you can get bombarded pretty quick if you can't kill them with the one hit. Hmm. This all goes into the next. What I think is the biggest and what could be, the coolest thing we could get out of it and that is Silverfish liked live in dark damp areas. What's the newest darkest area? We can think of coming to the game. Okay, deep dark. Oh, I meant deep dark deep dark. But yeah. So we have the deep dark. What if silverfish maybe spawn there, something like that.

But the big thing is, Origins should be scared of silver fish. Mmm. So not only could you lower and distract silver A fish with paper, you can now protect yourself from the warden, using the same things that are trying to attack you. Yeah. It wouldn't be easy to do, you know, to bring it with you, I guess, but there could be ways. Well, that's I'm saying there's a chance of them spawning in the deep dark. Mmm, so you wouldn't necessarily have to have a silverfish travel

with you. Yeah, I'm not suggesting, you should be able to pick it up in a bucket, right? Or anything like that. Yeah, I was thinking of a lead but actually it, Five, chase you. Yeah. And with the notes I just found they can path. Find you through walls so mmm-hmm. Yeah. Lead them over their trap. Them inside some fence gates. That's a safe Zone. Yeah, but that's kind of a doll.

That's all I had for silverfish. Yeah, I've rigidly was thinking about giving them wings and allowing them to fly over. Whoo. And then I went and did some research on Silver, fission? Yeah, they don't have wings, so, yeah, they aren't. Sect, actually, someone at work the other day and someone said, it was a silverfish. I was like, what? I didn't know. There's a real. Yeah, it's like a silverfish didn't know they were real thing. Yeah. Totally real thing.

Yeah. Should we go ahead and move on to our main topic today? Sure. All right. So dis is a coral topic. He came up with and it's Java versus Bedrock but more of a, which one do you choose type thing? We're not pitting them against each other. You're not saying one's better than the other, we're going to give you some differences and some force and against based on playstyles mmm or maybe even equipment because equipments

kind of a big one. Yeah I I've recently about a week ago I BX toy cat, put out a video of 50 parody differences and watched over that this morning in wrote down some pretty interesting ones that I wasn't familiar with. Okay, and we can go through those as well. I think the audience would find it pretty interesting. Let's go over your list first, then okay. Yeah, I think this is rigidly by prowl prowl helped out with ibx toy cats video. So, shout out to him, former

guests on the show. First thing I have here was you cannot heal iron. Golems in Bedrock, didn't know that was a thing. It's fairly new to Java actually. Yeah. Can't do that in Bedrock and you also can't. It doesn't have that cracking animation when they take damage. Oh man, none of that Bedrock either. Just the animation. It makes sense. You can't heal themselves. What's waiting knowing how close to death they are right. Yeah there's kind of go together. Another big one is you can't

Crouch under one and a half block but surface or yeah. 1/2 block area, can't Crouch under it, Bedrock, can't do that. Wow, I did not realize That. Yeah, that's a big one. I was like, man. That's yeah, that gets used a lot in Java. Yeah, there's so much you can do with it nor can you flip down a trap door and go in to crouch mode. Can't do that Bedrock or the swimming mood? I guess it puts you in.

Yeah, another difference I have, there are three different sizes of salmon on Bedrock. Well, that's yes. Small medium and large sized salmon. There's only one on Java and they actually any fish. I would not just do not just drop the item but they drop bones instead of bone meal which is a little more convenient. Yeah. I mean you get more bone meal out of that. Yeah I don't know how how often they drop them maybe they don't drop them as often.

So hmm. Next we have Bedrock has baby dolphins, baby, squids and glow squids, didn't know, that didn't know that either. I didn't, I didn't know there was such a thing as baby dolphins and baby squids. Yeah, yeah, me, neither. Why don't we get these things, right? Yeah, they got some cool things, but you know, you'll see there are some stuff that aren't as cool as Java. Yeah.

Yeah, I noticed when he was doing the spawning of the Dolphins and the squids he got a baby dolphin, the spawn, but apparently there are baby squids and baby glow squids though. I didn't see it on the video, okay? Yeah, David baby dolphins, pretty cute. Hmm. Also cakes, they stack and Bedrock. You can have 64 cakes. I guess if you're playing on Console, there's only 16 in the stack. So what they mention and that's a lot of cake to be carrying around.

Yeah, they said that makes it the most efficient food in Bedrock because you can do that. But don't you still have to place it down? To eat it. Yeah. And that's pretty unfortunate to to me, that kills any kind of efficiency. Mmm. And the saturation isn't all that. Yeah, I mean, I understand cakes, not stacking, because honestly, how many times do you see people standing? At cakes to carry them around. You just don't do it. Yeah, let's just like a stack cake. Debbie cake get Hostess.

Here's a big. One players can be fire sources on Bedrock. So you're saying if a zombie punches me lights me on fire and I start walking over some carpet. It can catch on fire. I don't know, here's the example. That's that's a good. That's a good point. Here's the example, he used he got caught on Fire. And he went over a campfire and campfire licked because he was on fire and I thought that was pretty cool.

The carpet thing, I don't know. You think, if you can light a campfire on fire, you could light a carpet on fire. But yeah. I mean, I guess there wouldn't be too much use for that. You probably damaged more things than it would be useful. Well, it would be useful in the nether if you're trying to build a portal and you didn't have flint and steel. Yeah, you get it. Your tell when lava put yourself on fire and then walk over the obsidian. Yeah, again that should work in

theory. If you can be a fire Source but that wasn't the example we're going to take his word for it. Say you could probably do that. You know, cobwebs can be crafted into string, 9 string, it is, that's a good bit. Can't do that in Java. No. And we should be able to do that Java. I don't know why we can't yeah. Yep, not a thing. Music discs can be installed with a hopper and Draw. So you don't have to manually, put a music disc in the Jukebox.

You can hook up a hopper to it and when it's done, it will go through the bottom and out. I think we've talked about this before, it's one thing with that. We wanted, I just didn't realize Bedrock, had it already. Yeah, I mean that gets talked about all the time. Mmm, be nice to have. We have sugar cane. Can be bone meal to bedrock feel like I should have known that, but when I saw it, I was like, I'll okay, yeah, I remember

that. At another big one is wool and beds can be re died in Bedrock. No, I didn't know who can be a lot of people assume that Java can do that, because there's so many snp's that play with that as a data pack. Mmm. But okay. Yeah. With wolf arms. Now not that big of a deal but being able to color your bed, whatever you feel like instead of having to go get a new thing a little and crafts 21, it's cool. Yeah. And last one I have here is a lighter can be Deactivated in Bedrock.

Can't do that in Java. Nope. And I'm kind of glad because I would probably accidentally hit it pretty often. Yep. So I think it's a good thing for Java. Well, did one time I could see it being useful is like, when I was working on this Moss, Farm Road is having to go in and out of a hole. I need a following in the whole activating my Elijah, and then was flying to the ladder. Well, you can't grab the ladder in a lighter mode so I just failed all the way down to the bottom of the ladder.

And I had to climb all the way up. Hmm. If I could deactivate the elytra while I was next to that ladder, I could grab the ladder and go up. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It worked. There it worked there. Yeah. There's just some of the interesting ones I brought up, you know, this is besides like you know The Cauldron with all the dyes. You could put in there, the dancing armor stands and quasi connectivity, tried and Killers, tried and Killers.

Yeah, so in picking what version of Minecraft you Play. Let's talk about that for me. The biggest one is what equipment do you have? Do you have a computer that you can play games on? Or are you a console player? That's to me. The biggest upfront thing to go with obviously if your console player you kind of have to play Bedrock so not a way around that. Hmm. But if you're a PC player, let's say that. Let's say you have a computer that can handle both versions of the game just fine.

I guess when you comes down To breaking down which versions for you. Are you a big time Farm Builder because if that's case Java is going to have a bit more interest because 90% of the farm tutorials out there are Java Farms. Mmm. You have the Quasi connectivity for Redstone stuff like that. Or are you a builder that likes to take? Excellent. Screenshots with massive render distance because Bedrock has that?

Yeah, I didn't I didn't realize how much There was when, you know, into I watch that video, just the examples. I gave shows you how much Bedrock has that Java? Doesn't having said that, I don't, I can't see myself, converting over the Bedrock. Yeah, just because of the feel of it. I don't know, it feels different. Feels like a same game, but it feels like a different game. The easiest way for me to describe the feel. So, if you driven a car, you

driven an older car. The steering wheel has some give to it. It's A little loose. Hmm. Then you get into a new car and steering wheels tight, any little movement of the steering wheel, the wheels move and an older car, any little movement of the steering wheel. The wheel is probably going to say straight, okay, Java is that older car with the loose steering wheel. You got to get a little, you have a little give. You have a little slide,

especially in creative mode. You have a lot of slide in creative mode. Yeah. Okay. I see what you're where? You going better off. Not so much Bedrock is tight. The coating can pinpoint the location. Of a player pretty. Well, I don't think they have the same thing. Like if you're a player on a server, using Contraptions to move, the player around you need to basically be in a mine cart or boat because the game will lose track of where you are happens all the time.

And I think on Bedrock that's not that big of an issue, we have like a fragile rock in the live chat, talking about the bugs in Bedrock, or what really gets him and Bedrock, from what I heard does have a lot of bugs. They're not as easily fixed. Just as they are in Java. Hmm, which I find crazy. Yeah. Yeah I think last time I played Bedrock is when you know the r-tx came out the shaders and that was really cool. I'm glad they brought that to

bedrock. I would like to have that for Java. You know, that there are similar resource packs. They give you that look, but it's not the r-tx open, we can get that. But to me the r-tx version of the game was Gimmick to one cell bedrock and to sell graphics cards. It's really the only way Bedrock gets any kind of shaders is to play r-tx. That's true. If you're really into customizing your game resource packs data packs, other stuff Bedrock has a tiny bit of that

that is much. You go play Java. Java is way easier. They don't have a store. Basically you just couldn't search online and find what you need. That being said, if things break and Java, you have to figure out ways to fix it, I will say that the console versions. Well, the bugs are harder to fix. The bugs, aren't as frequent doing little things. Like, adding a resource pack to bedrock version. As far as I know, is not just going to break the game, which it can do in Java I've seen

that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good know what your computer can handle Well it's not even that like straight up my roommate downloaded resource packed, put the resource pack in his game and then for some reason villagers would no longer breed or work at work stations huh. How did a resource pack do that and I didn't believe it was a resource back until he removes a resource pack out of the resource pack folder like straight up, just took it all out and sure enough, they started working again.

Strangest thing I've ever Ever seen never seen anything like it. Yeah, yeah. You do got to be careful where you download. Yeah that's how you do. Your resource packs and shaders packs but there's like how Java there's just a limitless supply of these add-ons that you can put on your game. You know. You don't have to go to the store, some of them, you know the high quality stuff, you may need to be a patron and to pay for this. That's the only way you would need to pay for.

It is like for the high quality. Lisa. But yeah, there's just so many different resource packs that you can get ahold of on Java without entering a store, you know, buying anything. Yeah. That being said, some of the stuff you can get at the Bedrock stores are really cool like your models. When you change, your skin can be changed, which is super cool. You have emotes in Bedrock. Mmm, which if you're into that kind of stuff is cool. I mentioned before, the, the

cauldrons. And how different they are. In Bedrock, you can make the chameleons like 7 million different colors. Mmm, in these cauldrons and always been really jealous of that. You can do that with died in Java, you just can't do it in The Cauldron. Okay, so if you want super colorful leather armor, you can make crazy amounts of colors in there. But being able to have colored water in a container is kind of cool. Yeah, okay. They could do that. Hmm. We're just spitting out, parity

differences. But these are like all the things you should think about before choosing, which version like, what's most important to you, is it custom ability? Is it more reliability? Do you want to play it on the go? Do you have a switch? You can play Minecraft on the switch on the go. If you want to play Java on the go, you have to take a laptop. And it has to be a beefy laptop because it's Java, right? It's going to take some power, the job Edition was raft.

Yeah, it was just Minecraft and they changed it to Minecraft job. Addition, when the Bedrock came out. So the original version is the Java version came first, which I've never really understood why they did that name change other than to promote bedrock and push it more. Yeah, I feel like you're right. And there's nothing wrong with it. I know why they're doing it. It's because Microsoft now, owns Mojang. And let's just say you can play Minecraft on Xbox. So, Want that? Hmm. Yeah.

Makes sense. Yeah. At the same time I like how Mojang has been a? No. We're gonna keep using the Java version that's our star ground. We're going to stand there. Hmm. But you see a lot of Bedrock players, complain about parity and a yeah it's a big issue but the amount of stuff that Bedrock players get that we can't get Java players wants a of you too. Yeah, we we sought them fix some parity with the seeds seed. Parody is a A big one. Yeah you can play on the same world.

Hmm. As someone on job for Bedrock, that was pretty cool. Yep. It's almost like they need another team to just focus on parity. Yeah, you would think that being said, having these differences allows you to kind of choose different games. Mmm, that is it, I'm looking on your list crafting cobwebs out of string. You can do it in Java, that datapack, Sugar, King being bone. Milled can't really do that. At the same time. Why bonemeal sugarcane?

They only grow three doll. I guess, if you want to a small efficient Farm, you can always make a small sugar cane Farm. Yeah, maybe, but it's not going to be efficient. If you were to bone meal, it could help that. Yeah, you're right about that, then you can use bone meal and other things though. Yeah, but meals use on so much. Yeah. The read eyeing the bed and stuff we can have that our Java with datapacks cake sex.

Not really useful baby animals to me is something I would like to see but that's it's not a texture as much as it is, a model change. So I think that's where the discrepancy is. Mmm. Yeah, the different sizes of fish would be cool, but it's not like a necessity, you know? No, that's something. I need to have her ambience in the game. You just looking for stuff to move in the background. Hmm. You're not really paying that much attention right, though. We'll say the render distance

from Bedrock men. I would love to have it in Java not to have to do with that stupid fog, but at the same time, I know, 90% of the computers couldn't handle it. Yeah, it's crazy to think of how intense Minecraft can be on your graphics card or computer console, whatever you're playing on because it's you know it's just a block palette game. Minecraft is a CPU intensive game.

A lot of people keep buying giant beefy graphics cards to run my Minecraft its uses the graphics card but it's not that's not its main source of power. Its main source of power is CPU, didn't realize it. Yeah, that's why I went with a beefy CPU in a little cheap graphics card when I first started like I had a 970 graphics card for the longest time in years running Minecraft, just fine because I had a risin 7 chips assist, okay.

It's another thing to think about like it, if you're playing Java you go AMD or Intel Intel technically runs Minecraft better. Then A and B because of single thread performance, but AMD will run the game just fine and it's usually half the price of in tow. Hmm. Yes, more advantage to the AMD if you are content creator. Yeah.

If you're a content creator you go AMD because it does multi-threading super well which means rendering videos is better live streaming from the same computer you're playing a game from better. There was a long time where streamers had a dedicated stream PC because they were using an Intel chips. Set. And while the Intel chipset was really Advanced is super strong. It was a lot easier to just buy a cheap PC that could do multi-threading and have it. Run your live stream set of

nowadays? You don't need that. Hmm, maybe that's what content Creations. Another idea. Are you doing content creation? If you're doing it, what kind of stuff do you have? Do you have a computer? You have capture cards? Yeah, feel like with content creation, yet. You see a lot more popular Java, or Popular content creators tend to gravitate towards Java instead of Bedrock to.

And I think it's just that Java has that freedom to do just about anything or as Bedrock is the most played version. Let's get that straight. Oh, yeah. It's a very, very popular version but still the amount of Freedom that Jabba gives a Content creators, almost too much. Yeah. You brought up skins a little bit, But the advantages of to customize any, every little pixel on your skin for Java is huge, it's big. If you want your character to look a little bit different. Yeah.

So that's a big one. Yeah, that's kind of all I have to show where over time you go ahead and move on. Yeah, trying to think of more examples. There's probably hundreds of more examples. Just figured we'd throw some out there, but we're not going to know. Okay, no, we had So I think that will finally do it for today's show before. I have Jimbo Regis how I want to say a huge.
