Hey everyone, welcome to the withering effect episode 136. Today's date is March 20th, 2022 and I am Duds or Duds versus known to the rest of the interwebs and I am Jimbo. You may know me as Jimbo slice 23. So what have you been up to this week Duds? So much did a lot. This was actually a pretty busy week for me. I am currently recording two episodes of one. I'm, I don't know if I mentioned that in the last thing yet. So getting everything, organized was a huge priority for me this week.
Basically, a couple episodes. I did, what I call it a cinematic episode where I wasn't really building a lot. It was just a story. Tell using a lot of Replay mod footage and that was a practice Run for the episode. I'm working on now. Okay, basically the entire episodes being Shot and replayed mind footage, which means the three minutes. I've already shot, took an hour and 15 minutes to edit the very, very slow process, but it's very good. So it's not necessarily a short
episode. It's not planning to be no. No, but there's that. I'm also still putting it by the time. This episode releases. I would have put out another episode where I built a barn. And manal holding to farming villagers. I have decided to move away from steak and stick by product as main food source, me too. And I've gone to the golden carrot route. Okay, not a bad choice. Nope. I'm using some Farmers to a
trade for golden, carrots. The best part is I can go to my iron fart villagers, trade some iron from them because I have an infinite Supply iron. Get some emeralds. Go straight to To my Farmer villagers and using the same amount of emeralds. I got from the iron villagers. I can get over a stack of golden cards. You just exchanging iron for golden carrots. That's exactly what I'm doing. I mean, that's that's good deal. Especially the amount of iron you get from those Farms.
Mmm. Yeah, pretty happy with it. Other than the barn. It's not a very like this episode wasn't like Ground grand building. Is awesome stuff or anything like that. It's like little builds that I detail and will help make the season progressed easier. Mainly because doing two episodes at one time, is extremely confusing. So, I don't want to overwhelm myself with large build product or projects, right? I did do the nether tunnel, leading to the shopping district.
I'm pretty happy with that. My worry is Ami, has a very modern look. He wants in the shopping district. So I had to make the tunnel feel modern the same time work with Carl's nether Hub. I think I pulled it off. There's a lot of Duds, builds stuff in there. Like the entirely, the tires ceilings leaves hanging down and stuff. Yeah. Have a good to see it yet. Curious. I quite literally finished it an hour before we started recording.
That's probably why I've been on lately doing something else, but getting that Never you're finished. Yeah, I'm all done. My seasons are not I season. My weeks basically, done Seasons done. That's it season finale. The only other thing I did this weekend was taxes. We all know how fun that is. Yeah, that's leave that out. Cut that out Carl. But yeah, I've been first at first, I want to mention the
villagers. I've been messing with which are the same villagers that I got in my iron farm, so Today, I got back on the server to finish up the project. I was working on. I'll get into that induced in a second and I noticed my villagers in my iron farm where zombie villagers. I'm like, holy crap. They're not named Tagged. So I hurried up gathered my potions and my golden apples before they disappeared. They didn't disappear. I got lucky because one of them
is a mending villager. These are these are all good villagers. They got they go. Books great trades and didn't want to lose these guys. When I was making my Island House terraforming. I forgot to replace some torches and I imagine a baby zombie got in there and got to him. So I hurry up. I couldn't get my name tag. I could name tag because I didn't have levels Duds. I had no levels had zero levels compliments to Casey and of killing me.
And I lost my levels but uh, I could name tag him so I had to hurry up and convert them and I thought when you get them all converted, so I throwed my splash potion and I hit them all with golden apples and I hit him all quick, quick, bang, bang, bang, got them all. Okay, let them convert while one converted the other to attack them and turn them back into zombie. Okay, I did this three times today, trying to like distract them. Hey, I'm over here. You know what?
I mean? Don't look at the Villager. But I figured it'd go bang, bang, bang, and they would all convert know. The one would convert in the. Other two would take a little like I'm like, they should be turning into villagers right after this one. But now I'm having this issue. I'm going to have to take them out of there and separate them to to make them villagers again. I'm like, holy crap, what is going on?
But when I was able to hit him with a splash potion and get him in that state, to where they're about to convert, I went Down in my base. I have something to where I was able to get levels. Guess how many levels I got from my furnace when try 6237? Hmm, which is in 62, but that's a lot. You know, for ya one time. I was like, wow. Okay, so I was able to I was able to name tag them. Everything's fine now. Just got to get him out of there.
I thought, but I thought I wanted to bring us up that they wouldn't attack each other because they were in that state. I didn't know they were still aggressive like that. Yeah, maybe that. Changed or maybe that was never the case, but I was really confused about that. I wanted to bring it up on the show first thing. But yeah, I'm having that problem iron farm is not working which isn't that big of a deal. I'm glad you said that cause it reminded me. I had some funny villager
issues. Also. Yeah my Village repeater had six villagers sitting in it. When I went to move two of them to the barn and I was going to do the whole, you know, place the place The Works bench station, whatever. And just kind of keep moving them that way. I said of putting them in rails and moving them and once I got them out of the breeder, you know, how I have the zombie pigmen death trap.
No, so I hate zombie, pig lens, wandering around my build, right behind my map will on the left side of the portal. Yeah. I have a turtle egg. Yeah, with a drop Chute. So the zombie pigmen, spawn out the portal and then they run and I dropped out. Yeah, I know of that, but I'm thinking exactly what you're about to say. The villagers went down there. Yeah, I would let them out of their little breeding, sell chamber. Hold them off a caterer, and they sprinted for the drop Chute.
What it made, no sense whatsoever. No, that'll make sense at all. It's hilarious. There. There is workbenches everywhere in my base. I love decorating with workbenches. They would ignore the work benches in Sprint, straight for that whole. I lost all the villagers. All of them did that. That know, but the two that didn't they got in the barn. But yeah, basically the first four wow did before I decided to just cover it up? Yeah. I have no idea. It was the weirdest thing I had
ever seen. There's nothing on the other side of that wall. There are so many options. Yeah, and they went for the death trap. Uh-huh. Wow, they'd rather die than give me golden carrots. Apparently. Geez. Yeah, but besides what the whole villager. I had I see in the comments here. Probably should have put down Minecarts. That's bro. I just got to separate them. We much Minecarts is an ideal
idea or boats. But yeah, I ended up working on a little more, the Lord at my base and I'm building on the Lord. Now. I'm starting to build a giant stairway in my episode. I'm supposed to build a big place above spawn. Now this is going to be what we call Heaven. It's going to be, you know, above the clouds, so I thought it would be Be fun to wear when you die. If you don't have your bed set up, set it going to spawn, you go to heaven pretty much. Okay, but that was a cool Little
Mix there. So I got the stairway done. I was lighting it up. Then I realized there's mobs spawning on my Island. I go look at my villagers. And yeah, they're all zombies. That's how I found that out. Yeah, but yep, and I've been going in creative mode, trying to figure out what I'm going to build up there. I have a little cottage. I want to build on my Island, too. And I built that in creative
mode. I got to bring that to my Island. But before that I do want to get something started above spawn because it's a pretty big project working on something pretty big here. And it shouldn't be out of magic would take a while to finish but should be getting started here soon. Nice. And that's that's about it for miweek shoo. Go ahead and hop into the news then. Yeah. I got some news this week yet. We'll start with the experimental Bedrock beta that came out.
Okay, and And we get a new horn, even though we still don't have the first horn. Mmm. So we get the copper horn, which is a variant of the goat horn know. The goat horn is getting upgrades to the like, instead of the one goat horn sound. We have like, 10, go horn sounds now. Yeah, they're always there already like randomized. So, go horn. You get from a goat randomly. Running into a block, then it drops its horn. Mmm, and that gives you a random goatwhore.
Sound they're all named. So you'll be able to know if you have duplicates and all that stuff, just by that, then you can turn that goat horn into a copper goat horn by basically creating a bucket with copper ingots and then putting the goat horn in the middle. Mmm. You'll be shape. Mmm, around the goat horn. Yep, and that will give you another sound. I think there's like 30 total sounds. You can make, mmm, because the goat horn itself.
There are the copper one. Not only do you get 10 different sounds in the regular goat horn. If you crouch, you get another sound. If you look up, you get another sound. Yeah, pretty crazy. Huh? I could see how you get different sounds because you're, you know, if you look up and yell or something this more of like an echo. Yeah, crouching thing. It seems like when you crouch it, could you get like a deeper more bass sound, but I think it's all the same Melody from that same horn.
It's just a different tone. Yeah, something along those lines, but there are different horns. Yeah, and all the sounds can be layered to create song. Yeah, that was pretty cool. How they did that. It's in Exuma voice video, guys, are curious about that and the screaming goat has another set of sounds. Yeah, for four more sounds with the screaming goat, I guess there. I mean, it's screaming goats.
I imagine. These are more rare be harder to find then again, the screaming goat tends to ramp things more often. So maybe they this is true. That is a maybe they drop more horns. The goat horn from Screaming goats not going to be so rare. Mmm. I'm sure there's a goat horn Farms already in the works. Yeah, no doubt. I'm noticing that my other section of news got deleted. I didn't even see it. I did the news at 12 o'clock
last night. It was probably me being dumb, but there were other things that came out earlier in the week for Java snapshots basically. Mangrove trees. We're getting everything. But the tree right, that was kind of strange. Yeah, if you if you grow the tree, you get an oak tree. Yep. We get the seeds. The seeds. Look cool. Sam. I like how you can put them in the flower pot.
That's awesome. Mhm. Yeah, they're definitely unique especially their mechanics like there's stages, uh-huh, to get the sapling from it and it grows from its own tree. So normally when you get a sapling that's not real visible, you know, they just kind of pop off from the leaves these grow their visual. So apparently you can on the lead.
Yves, you can bonemeal them and get a sapling, you know, the first stage it would have to grow but you don't have to chop a tree down to get saplings, right? It's not as random. You can go get one if you wanted one. The question for me is like if you have one of these trees in your yard, is it going to because the seeds can grow at random? Are you going to constantly have items dropped on the ground? I don't do. They fall off of the tree so
they got to be picked. I think they fall off the I don't know. Maybe maybe. Yeah, maybe it's just you have to pick them. But at some point, are you going to have every leaf have one of these seats hanging from it? It looks like it. It looks like eventually they all right, develop these saplings. Now, if it's a player placed Leaf, it won't grow unless you bonemeal it. Yeah. Can get it that way, but it's always at the bottom of the leaf. Also. Yeah, it's got the persistent
tag pretty neat though. It's different. I like it. It is very different. That's what I like about it. They did a little work on the root block. Yeah, which it's a bit darker than it was before. It's still not great. But I think it is State. Now vanilla tweaks is got to get a hold of it and they'll do their 3D thing. Yeah, I can see that and then that block will be perfect for me. What's crazy.
Is there The Mangrove root block is so unique, the how it can be waterlogged and Visually you can see the water in. Side of it which is yep, unlike any other block, you can always waterlogged like a stair or slab and it would kind of come out the other side, you know, it would still flow this. It kind of holds. It holds the water inside of it. Yeah. It's like a bucket you can place right without losing control of the water. It's great for Cobblestone farms.
And in a video with El mango, I watched its non spawnable. So that makes it very. This is very unique. Meek also runs Redstone. So this is a block that you can run Redstone through. That's not spawnable, which is, you know, you'd think OK Glass isn't spawnable but you can't run Redstone through it. There's, there's never been a block like this. It's pretty, it's pretty crazy. And we were we're talking about how we don't visually the root block. Doesn't look very appealing feel
like it could do better. Like you're saying vanilla vanilla takes tweaks, will get ahold of it. Help it out a little bit, but the way it is in the way it Use it's used. I don't believe they're going to change it. I think it's going to stay like that. And I think I'm okay with it. Just, by the way, it's being used in a way. It works. Pretty crazy. Yeah. I'm looking at a picture. Casey, plays games. Whose chilling out in the live. Chat sent a tweet from germs. You boy, surely.
He's got the bushier leaves. Everyone knows who watches my videos. Know. I love bushy leaves. I think they should be in the game by default. It seems they've already got that going on. I'm sure. Sugar. Vanilla tweaks will have it done too, but no one's touched. The roots yet. Yep. What about what else we got? We got muddy. Yeah. Mangrove Roots. Mmm. Those are pretty unique. Yeah, that's going to be great
for pathing. Yeah, at first, when I saw that in the pictures, I was thinking, there's like a layer of root on top of the mud. No, it's, it's in that block, you know, the route in the mud, or in the same block. Yep. That's pretty cool looking. It is directional when you place it today with the roots. What was some of the thing? I mean, we got a good The mud and stuff. I am not a super fan of the mud brick texture stuff. No, I think it's alright.
There's a lot of people are there like, this groundbreakings can be awesome to. I'm not there yet. I kind of like it. Yeah, I think it's a good texture but it's not. It's not what? Deep slate. Oh, no heads done to me. That's there's a lot of people acting like it's the next deep sigh time. Like I don't see it yet. No, it's a cool block. But yeah, deep slate. Definitely spoiled us. It did. Hmm. I mean if you see dried up mud bricks, it's kind of got that texture.
You know, it looks like what it's supposed to look like. Yes. I like the fact that there's not just mud and mud bricks. You have to combine the mud with what is it? Hey, we, yeah, we could remember was called, and you get a, like a reinforced mud. Don't know what that's called. Is. It packed? Mud packed? My pechman? Yeah, that's how you get your bricks. But I like that. Kicked out how they have stages to get to the bricks, not
straight from the mud. That's more realistic to don't like to say realistic when talking about Minecraft, but that is something that's done in real life. Yeah. There's something else. I want to mention. I forget. Oh, we forgot to mention the color of the mangrove would write. They've changed that to a more red Hue. Different from the, the what is
it from the nether? The Crimson would to glad they made it. So, you know, different from um that yeah, I always felt the color of the mangrove is now should have been the color of crimson would ya? It is a better read. I do like it. I feel Mojang has this Obsession Obsession with these weird shades of purple. That doesn't go well with
anything. Hmm. They're like if we keep making purple it's going to work somewhere and it never does /. / would going to get / / would all if we get purpura, what I'll lose it then be funny. But yeah, I was It's I was curious because you kind of you know, by seeing the log and the planks, what these all the types are going to look. Like. I was curious to see what the wood or the door in the trapdoor would look like those are always a little different.
And I've real, I'm really like the doors. The doors are really cool looking. The trapdoor will be my new street light. Yeah, so I've been using jungle trap doors for by streetlights, that circular shape. Uh-hmm. I like it. So much. I was hoping when they made those, they had some kind of like transparency to it. Hmm, and they did. It's like a circle which is non-existent in Minecraft. Almost. Yep. But yeah, they gave us a nice Circle in the trapdoor.
Yeah, not in the regular door though, but it's the regular doors unique in itself. Also, they're going to say this is kind of like the first time we have doors and trap doors that do not look alike. Right? Yeah, they're pretty different but I like, It looks pretty cool. You got your strip variants. You got any every variant that comes with the other wood types. You get with this so buttons pressure plates, all that.
Yeah, buttons are runs are cool. I like to color the buttons that will all end up using those as decorations. I can see it. Now. Hmm frogs. Wasn't there an update with those? They prefer to jump to lily pads. Yes, that was it, but they kind of jump to and from lily pads. Not That gate, I don't know track towards them, but you'll see them jumping on and off a lily pads. It seems like. And the drip Leaf. It's kind of like how axolotls prefer water. Yeah, but they can go outside of
water also, right? Yeah. And you're going to get snow frogs desert frogs. You're not going to find lily pads out there. So, yeah, one is that you can actually breed them down like that. Was it a thing in the last beta? Yeah. I don't know if we ever talked about that, but it is with the slime ball now. Yep, slime balls. So you can read those guys, get your tadpoles. Yeah, they actually like a turtle. They go along the edge of the water, and lay there frog spawn. So, what it's called.
Yeah, and it seemed like they fixed how they spawn or hatch. Remember how they would hatch and they would just explode everywhere just, you know, flopping around just apples everywhere. They fix that. They kind of have a little bit more control. That's one thing. I was looking at, trying to think what else? The Goat thing when I was like I didn't know that was a Bedrock thing, but that's the job of a thing. But I guess it's a Bedrock they're messing with that in. Yep.
And like goats can sometimes bond with only one horn. Now. I was just going to say that. Yep. You can have your one horn goats, but that was cool little touch especially if they are, you know ramming into things and losing their horns. Yeah, I think baby goats will always have two horns up. Yeah feel like that should be a thing. Mmm, I feel like if they do lose a horn they should go to one horn. Now eventually grow it back.
But yeah. Kind of like how a wool or the sheep and the more you share sheep. You have to wait for it to eat grass, so it could grow its full back, right? Yeah, maybe have them with no horns. Some of them, that lose both horns. I know. I like, I like the one horn goats. That's an ugly sheep. Yeah, would look more like a sheep. Let's have had the news because I think We've covered everything. We can think of, I feel I feel sad that my notes.
Got deleted. I probably because you know how when you're copying pasting is probably when I was copying pasting listener. Questions, if you accidentally scroll wheel it'll mess up and up. So I think that's what I did. I've messed up the notes quite a few times cry. Had to come in and fix them or you had to come and fix them. Yeah. I'm not good with these either. Yeah, I pretty sure we covered
any everything. I know the, you do get your wall Very. With the bricks, the mud bricks, but I'm pretty sure that goes without saying stairs, slabs. Let's do some listener comments. I've got one from MK doug-man. They asked, hey, guys. I was wondering what your top three fixes for the potion system and Minecraft is because personally, I think it could use some improvements. Love to hear your thoughts. I don't know how you can improve potions. I know like no one uses potions.
Yeah fixes. Yeah. I don't I don't know. No, I think the hardest part is forming the items to make the potion. I think the hardest part is to figuring out how to make certain potions. I mean, if you if you're not aware or have access to the internet to tell you how to make a certain potion. It's kind of hard just to know there is that too. I always had trouble with night vision. Like how do you make night vision every time? Gold karat still to this day?
I could tell you but I've done it many times. It's golden carrot. It's something you have to make a potion and combine it with a golden carrot to get night vision, or just about every potion starts with the awkward potion except for weakness motion. Yeah. Mmm, I do. You're right though, in the fact that it would be nice to know how to craft the potions whether that's in the GUI. When you click on a potion brewing, stand. Mmm, or here's something update the paintings to have potion
posters. Hours, maybe a banner. Yeah, that could allow you to have information that is on the internet because you're right. It's not intuitive. You have to go out and find like I know glistening melon is like instant health or something like that. What the heck is about a golden melon gives you? Yeah, who would have thought of that? Yeah, the golden carrot for night vision. I kinda understand because everyone says, carrots, make your vision better, which I think is a falsehood.
Just something parents tell you so you eat your vegetables. Now Minecraft makes more sense with. Yeah, but you got like your rabbit's foot makes you jump higher. Mmm. What is it? Puffer fish makes you water breathing. Gives you water breathing. Yeah. Yeah, there's some potions out there that could be useful at times that you you're not aware of that. You don't even know how to make it be nice to have some kind of insight. You get a little bit of that with the igloo.
Hmm. When you go below the The igloo. It kind of shows. You gives you the ingredients at least to make the splash potion a weakness to convert the Villager, but that's about it. That's the only like Insight. You get for a potion agreed. Maybe clerics can trade potions. Not a bad idea. No, none of the villagers trade for potions. I mean, he's got a brewing stand as his station. Hmm. Yeah. I don't know. I like the way. They do it. It's nice having potions in the game.
Yeah, it's tough to fix it. I really thought about that and they wanted three, he wanted three fixes. Woohoo. I know that sounds like it should probably be its own topic. One day when we have enough time to really plan out. Yeah. Yeah, that definitely need time to think about that one. Hmm. Should we do the next question? Yep, kind of piggybacks off of the next one. This from stay in junior. If you Haven't discussed this. Before they mention. What are your most or must have potions?
I totally underutilized potions and most only use fire resistance and maybe night vision on a daily basis. The refs are just for special use like boss battles. Same. Yeah, pretty much, except for the whole fire resistance night vision. I usually don't use potions, but boss battles. Yeah, it's nice to nice to have a few. Yeah, water breathing. Is the one I do the most? Yeah, I find myself working a lot in the water. So that's good night. Visions.
Always good working in the water to fire protections. Okay, a light ra to me has rendered fire protection almost useless because if you fall in the nether, just activate the wings and fly away, especially with the nether right gear now. Yeah, kind of has fire resistance in Included. Yeah, I'm not going to say that you won't die. Anyways, like there are many times. I've died in lava in the nether with wings mmm, but it's greatly decreased. The odds of me dying in the
nether. Yeah. Yeah. My, I was in visibility. I was using a lot this season, mainly because there's a game on the server. We had to go invisible. I don't know how useful it is around mobs. What mobs. You know don't see you and see you. I never take that chance, you know to go invisible around mobs. Just kind of go in the weigh-in and yeah, I like to use strength and Fire Resistance sometimes but not really. Yeah potions are enchantments are so strong.
Nowadays potions aren't useful in a way like a lot of people would hope they were. Were they are very specialized? Oh, I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the water. Here is my water breathing. I'm going to spend a lot of time working around lava. Here's my fire resistance. Oh, I'm going to the end better drink. My slow falling. Mmm. It's like the stuff like that. And like I said, a lighter
affixed has two of those three. I mean, even even your helmet that you have on with ya respiration, respiration, you know, you can work around the whole water. You think, especially if you have a door on you put a door down. That'll bring the water. Also, this other ways. It's a lot easier to craft a door that is water. Breathing potion though. You'd skip those steps, you know, you don't have to worry about coming up for air or put placing a door down
water-breathing. Can you can do what you have to do? But yeah when I when I do a battle with the Elder guardians or monument, I always take water breathing in night vision and sometimes grab a strength potion just because it'll help. Yeah, make sure always grab those. I never use the strength potion. I have a few, but it's like, like he said, yeah, mainly boss battles. If I remember to grab it is the bosses. You don't need those. Nope. Elder Gardens is mainly the main
one where it's just more ideal. To bring person who makes it so much easier. I kicked as other guardians, but with no armor on, you have armor on no, because I had invisibility potion. Okay. Yeah. This one's saying is special cases. Mmm. Yeah, always seem to forget about visibility. Yeah. Thank you guys so much. For those questions, those comments were from our Discord and it's the only place you can get.
Or it's the only place where you can talk to everyone who works on the show, easily just take brownie bits word for it. Hello, everyone. Your favorite sweet treat, brownie bits here. And I am a member of the weathering effect Discord. It's a great place to get to know the people from the show and share cookies with your favorite like-minded Minecrafters. It's the only place to throw cakes at. Oh hmm. I mean submit your questions for upcoming guests and share your opinions about the game
brownies. Mmm. Excuse me, Sugar Rush the Discord today. Using the link in the show notes, and I will see you there. Thank you for the Discord. Add brownie bits, speaking of the Discord. It's the only place you can get involved in our mending Minecraft vote this week. We asked you to choose between one of three biomes for us to discuss. It improves. Your choices were desert pyramid. Wait Carl. You didn't change the script. It's between one or three structures for us to discuss it
improve. Yeah. Those are buying your choices were desert. Pyramid, Pillager Outpost nether fortress in the winner of any Minecraft structures this week is, Nether fortress on a bad one. Nether fortress had 25 boats. Pillager Outpost was 7 and desert temple with her desert pyramid 18. I usually called a temple. Yeah, I do too. A few things about the nether fortress. Now, the Fortress or simply Fortress is a large complex of bridges, corridors and Towers
found in another. Composed of nether brick materials. The nether fortress can generate in any biome in the Some notable Loop found in the fortresses, our Saddles gold iron. All types of horse armor, except the leather obsidian diamonds and Nether, wart and Nether. Wart can also be found in the fortresses at the bottom, of some staircase rooms, which is one of two places. You could find them in another also.
Bastions. Anyways, Blaze and wither skeletons are two unique mobs found in the fortresses. Also Blaze spawner. Owners can be found throughout the fortresses and that is all I got. I feel like I should have wrote more. I have a dash down there to where it's supposed to add something else. So, for something I'm missing about the nether fortress. When you think about structures of Minecraft, especially nowadays.
The nether fortress is actually rather playing compared to like a Bastion. Yeah, but I want to take from a different structure in the Overworld to redo the nether fortress, I think nether Should be more like Woodland Mansions, not so much. That they look identical guys. It's what? Hmm, not that they look identical. It still needs to be made out of another break and stuff. But let's add some red.
Another break in there. Let's make it more of a room-to-room experience instead of basically nether fortress or just giant Bridges with like one or two rooms in it. Yeah, a lot of open area in the forges, right? And the thing is that's great for farming wither skeletons. It's Awesome. Hmm, but they do make them boring and quite easy to conquer. So I'm thinking more like a with a mansion where the rooms could
be randomized. Maybe there's some secret rooms and secret passages, like you're walking around the inside of this. And then you go and you walk around the outside of this. And you're like, why is that wall? So thick, I walked past it three times. There's nothing there. And it turns out that there's a secret room behind that wall. Yeah, that could be really cool. I'd love for there to Traps for
players. The only problem is I think you should still have the mobs spawning on the Fortress that you normally would and those might set off certain traps. Yeah, that's true. And finally taking from another structure, the guardian Temple. I think there needs to be about a little bit of a boss battle that a big boss battle? Maybe a mini boss battle. Hmm, some kind of boss battle. Something like the Elder. Guardians. Like an old Elder wither. Yeah, maybe this wither
skeletons. Got a Gray beard. Whoo-hoo. He's like a wizard. Yeah, a wizard wither. Wither wizard. Well, withering wizard. Mmm, that'd be fun. Get maybe instead of attacking with the sword. It's only job is to summon or wither skeletons. So you might not want to kill him. Right? So now you have a different way to farm with her. Thousands. I'm right. Uh-huh. Now, we've never be swell, besides the, the Wither itself which kind of makes sense to make the an elder wither
farmable. But yeah, the withers only thing you can use to actually use in a farming technique with the Wither Rose. But yeah having another, another boss to be able to use in a farm and this boss, you can't keep respawning exactly make it more unique. Mmm, that'd be cool. So yeah, you could kill it and you get to special bearded scold and everything like that, but it's much better to keep them alive. Yeah, that's kind of it for another Fortress.
Yeah. I'm not seeing many actually anything in the Discord but the Fortress no fixes. It doesn't help like while we've been recording this like the discussion Channel and just bang bang. Bang, bang, like people. Just been typing like crazy in there. Yeah, enough.
About the Fortress. But I feel like one thing I would change about the Fortress Is All The Blaze spawner, 's feel like there's too many like it should be a little more rare because I feel like every every fourth just got a place one or just got to find it. Yeah, but sometimes there's just there's so many blazes like there's enough blazes spawning around you in the fact that they can see you from. So far away, is very annoying. Yeah.
I don't like that something. And maybe minimize the place Partners a little bit. Yep. Agreed. I really wish so many card did the blaze farm. I wish there were multiple spotters closer together though. Yeah. It's like, yes, there are so many spiders, but they're all spread out. It's rare to get two of them. So close together. You can activate them both in the same spot. Yeah. Yeah, you can. But like you said, it's rare I think of what else I do. I begin.
I wish they Rework it a little bit. It does seem repetitive though. It's kind of random, you know, with your corridors and stuff. They do have different structures involved in that structure that you had to seems, you know, everything's nether brick to seems kind of plane when everything else is getting updated with new looks and stuff. It'd be nice to see them touch up the Fortress as well. Yeah kind of thought they were with the nether update, but they didn't.
They do anything with the Fortress. No, I don't mind the loot. Yeah, loose actually. Okay. Yeah, you end up getting diamonds in there. That's as good as loot as you can get actually. Yeah, and when you think about it, it's not like it's a hard structure to conquer. So you're not expecting great. Loot. Yeah, you're not going to get another right? Or any debris. I don't expect that go ahead and move into our topic. Yeah, it's going to ask if that is all you got. That's all I have.
That's everything with me. And I Jimbo came up with the topic this week. Yeah, out of nowhere. I don't think you caught my, my subtle note taking abilities, but the topic we have is bold predictions. I seen it. Yeah, you see that. Yeah. I just don't know how to do anything on here. We're out of coffee. Did I? I bolted bold. Hmm. In bold predictions Master Class. Look at that. Just bolted mine. There you go. One another level. Okay, so we have three bulb. Predictions. And I have one.
Not so, bold prediction. Mmm Jimbo. I'm asking you to save your number one for last. Well, oh, that's right. Your number one leads into another one. But yeah, but I can use a little later. You'll use your number one and then I will start with my not so bold prediction. Okay, and now I'll mention why it's so bold. Okay? Okay. My My Number One Bowl prediction is we're getting the new dimension in a deep dark. Next update not going to see it
now. We're not going to see it the update after it's going to be the next update. That's my Bowl prediction. So they're not going to touch anything else. They're going to work on this new dimension. And I feel like the April Fool's Dimension prank. They did where you throw books into the portal. It gives you a random portal. I have a feeling they're going to give us random Dimensions.
Hmm, like maybe world. Olds, maybe you can change it, the dimension, as you go in it, but maybe a world, this one world only has a certain Dimension like you would have to create a whole nother world to get a certain Dimension. I have a feeling it's going to be like that. It's going to be a little random. You're not going to get the same Dimension every time. That's my vote prediction and it's coming next update.
That's why it's bold. Yeah, as I say you through a little twist in their math, people my not so bold prediction. There's going to be a Dimension, what? Yeah, I say is not able to update because they've been hinting at this for forever. If you know, where to look the stupid reinforced deep, slate or whatever. That's a portal. Hmm. They keep saying it's not a portal. It's a portal. It's got the same qualities as the in Portal frames and all
that stuff. So yeah, it's a portal unless they change their mind because they're just like, oh, too many people caught on. Yeah. Yeah, we got to stick it to him unless the cat was out of the bag and they want to surprise us and they couldn't do that. But yeah, that's it only like that. Then again, I could see them changing the deep dark in that
case. Why keep this portal frame, just sitting there, you know, with blocks you can't use well and then you look at all the work they did with tags and structures and biomes and assets, and It All Leads to your idea of The randomized dimension generation. Hmm, that all works together. I'm working with winter on. I shouldn't say working with. I've been privy to Winter
secrets and stuff. He's working on and basically he just tells me. I need you to do this in your episode to set up this, but I've seen what he's creating and using those little tags in creating New Dimensions out of it, makes it 10 times easier. Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what those were used for. Yeah, what if like, you know, you can open up the portal but it's just it's like a blank portal and you have to throw things in this portal to make it unique, you know, maybe like oh,
do you want jungle trees? There you throw in a jungle slap or jungle sapling and maybe you know, you just throw all this random stuff inside this portal and it becomes, you know, that kind of portal. I thought that would be pretty cool. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see what kind it is. But yeah, that's that's my first prediction, nice. My first bold update. The food update. Boo food has been on my mind for two weeks now, in Minecraft, my mind right now. You probably are hungry, aren't
you? But the sick about it, like the Top Foods in Minecraft, golden carrots steaks, cooked pork chops. It may be cooked salmon. Cooked pork, chops is Only one of the easiest farmable Foods in Minecraft right now. Yep, golden carrots. I just proved how easy they were to get with a couple villagers early in the episode. Hmm steak is not bad.
Like that's my starting food. And honestly, it's it gives you good return especially with the leather but the pork chop Farms do leather better and you don't have to physically do anything. You're not relying on the wheat to breed the hog lens. And I think there's a lot of, a lot of players just get squeezed into, okay, so I have to choose between one or two foods and that's it. Yeah, pretty much it.
We see hermit crab playing a little bit earlier this season with Foods. Some of them are using pumpkin pies, which I think is hilarious. Some of them are using soups, which is odd because you can't stack them. So, they're just carrying the ingredients to craft the soup and their inventory. I never seen that. That who's doing that Pearl? Oh, yeah, it seems like that would be way too much. Yes. Oh, but it does. It does twist up the gameplay though.
Like you said. Yeah, I would like to see some new food mechanics brought into the game and know they were talking about new Hunger mechanics with the combat update that has mysteriously gone silent. I still want to see the combat update because the stuff Jeb had shown looked really good. Hmm, and I was really excited for it. Same here, but I'd like to see a more craftable system for a food update. That makes sense. All right, I could see that. I said this before bike. We have honey.
Let me put honey on some foods. Like, that's an easy thing to do. Maybe a honey chicken last. Just a little bit longer than a normal chicken. Maybe can add like a cooking pot to your furnace or something like that. That would be awesome to where you can combine foods to make certain. And recipes. Yeah, like I think putting raw meat on the campfire is one of the coolest things in the game, but it's also one of the least efficient.
Now, what if I put a cooking pot on top of the campfire there? That's where it would go. Yep, right. That would be super cool. Oh, yeah. Maybe you have to, like, craft a cooking pot and then you have to put like the campfire and the cooking pot in your crafting table to make one structure. Kind of like You have to do with the hopper Minecart. Hmm, that could be really cool. That could be really fun. Yeah, and then maybe you can make recipes, think, Legend of Zelda.
Breast of the wild. You can make recipes and you can share recipes with friends. No, I didn't know you do that. Yeah, youyou still kind of run into the wall, get five of these fruit and put them in a pot together. And that makes the best food in the game. You still run into that, but maybe someone finds that it's easier. For them to farm a bunch of sugar case, and now they have a bunch of sugar, and they also have a bee farm, and they get a lot of apples or something.
Maybe they could make honey apples like crazy. Mmm. I feel like they should touch up on is the fact that, you know, it takes what three steaks to fill up a hunger bar. Yeah, and I'm like, you know, one-and-a-half steak part filled me up. Maybe maybe the yeah balance, add a little Bit. Yeah, maybe how cool would it be, though? Like adding certain items together? So you have a steak and then you add it with gold.
Let's just use, gold could be a golden carrot, two golden apples, maybe a golden steak will replenish your entire hunger in one. Go. Yes, it doesn't have good saturation though, but it will bring all your hunger all the way up. Yeah, in the game. I eat 12 times a day, maybe more. Or in Real Life, 3 for I am the worst. If I see half a hunger haunch, go down. I eat. Yeah, I'm the worst. I try to be conservative. But yeah, to two or more. I'm eating.
That's funny. Yeah, I guess if you have the food to spare, it's not a big deal. You can eat whenever just take care of it, I guess. Yeah. You never know when you're going to get hurt. And if your saturation saturation, Stone effect, it could heal, right? Cup, if you eat more often, what's your next bold prediction Jimbo? I want to go.
Yeah, I want to get back to this Dimension and this kind of goes against what I was saying about the randomness, but I feel like we're going to get a writable flying mob inside of this new dimension. Oh what I wouldn't give for that. Yes, the end is where you get the Electra. Okay, that is like one of the best items you can get for travel. Well, what if this new dimension, takes it a step further, and you get a better way of travel with the writable mob. Now, I didn't really think of
what mob to ride. I'm sure you have a writable mob you would like Red Dragons. Yes, Red Dragons, of course. Yes, some kind of rideable flying mob would be nice. You can ride Striders on lava. You can ride pigs. You can ride llamas. Horses, but nothing that flies and see. I like the idea of obviously I've mentioned a thousand times but what if you go to this new dimension and it wasn't to get a writable mob but it was a way to hatch the dragon egg. Yeah, that'd be cool.
You would probably need to make it. So every time you respawn the dragon, it drops the dragon egg. Yeah or some kind of chance of it. Yeah, as of right now dragon egg is just a trophy. Pretty much doesn't do anything. Lee that would give it some function but yeah, feel like there has to be the deep dark what we've seen so far fighting off the warden, and the warden being such a pain to get into the loot. There are ways around it. You can what's it called,
cheese, the wardens. I was called. Yeah. Jeez. Yeah, you can get around it. Pretty easy in some cases, but there's nothing there to really want to go besides skulk, and you can avoid the that what deep dark place. What's it called? I am just drawing blanks of names. The ancient city, the ancient city. Yeah, like you can find it elsewhere. You don't have to go to the ancient city. There's just loot there. And hello. There's a pretty big portal
looking structure in the middle. So yeah, I have a feeling there's something in there that's going to change the game or, you know, be a random Dimension inside of there to open up the world a little bit. But yeah, if there's anything in there that's going to change the game. I believe a flying mob would do that. At that you can ride. Of course. Let me I got to put that out. Yeah, that's my second bowl
prediction. And I'd be okay with like, if you're using a flying mob, you have to feed the mob. Mmm. Yeah, you actually need to take care of this animal, right? Yeah. Have some kind of balance, maybe even it only flies so long. Like you can't just be up in the air forever. Yeah, it takes breaks. It's got a theory, gas up and
stop at the nearest gas station. Because if you feel some honey chicken, yeah, my next bold prediction now is we're going to get an item to the equivalent of what the Shocker box, was. Okay, say in storage was or inventory. Wise. It doesn't have to be storage wise. Okay, it's just going to be one of those items every single player has to have. Mmm. It's gonna be one of those. I don't know what it is. I really do want a backpack. I've been saying that for a good bit.
I thought blundell's might be The equivalent step to a backpack. They have been mysteriously, taken out of the game, too. I shouldn't say, take it out again because they're their winter likes to use them for everything, especially the tease you with it, especially to tease me, but I think we're going to get an item like that. I'd love the zip line idea. You had a couple weeks ago. That was awesome. I'd love to see that in the game, is a couple weeks ago because the show went out
yesterday. I think it was yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. I thought that. Yeah. Yeah, I think we're going to get a new big item. I think that's what that's honestly, what a lot of people look forward to on the updates are the items and not so much the other little things. Yeah. Look forward to mobs, the most, but something shulker box like. Yeah, that's, that's a big deal right there. Like you said everyone, you need them pretty much specially. If you're going to build something.
I never really anything, you know, storage even. Yeah, but yeah to take. Things around with you specially the way inventories, get nowadays, sharper boxes are just ideal, and that big item, you know, isn't the bundle, because not everyone wants those. It could be a tool. It could be another piece of armor. Mmm, Yeah, that's my prediction for that. That'd be cool. We're getting low on time.
Yeah, I'll hurry through my next one because I'm not sure how to fix this, but my other bold prediction is villagers, are going to get nerfed. It's almost like a fishing. Arm now. And we saw what they did to the fishing parm. Yeah, I even mention. They should give us potions. No, probably not. Let's talk about Nerf atom in here. I'm trying to give him more stuff. One. See the way Mojang does anything. You can't just straight up Nerf villagers. You have to change the
circumstances. So you're not taking away things from the players, right? Yeah. The yeah, it would be tough to do, but I could feel it. I feel like maybe give them less trades trades. I mean, you You have to scroll down as many trades as they get. You know, they did make it easier on. You being able to find the trade you want, by using your workstations placing and breaking them. Maybe keep that but just lower the amount of Trades maybe or make a more random. I don't know.
I feel like they're going to get Nerf though because they're just so Opie. And I don't know, when can't tell you when but feel like it's going to happen. Yeah, I believe they buff them. Yes, not too long ago. So yeah, be bold. I believe, my final, bold prediction, concrete stairs and slabs for all mmm. I think they're finally going to give in at some point and we will get our stairs and slabs. Yeah. Yeah, even though they've been hitting at, no, we're never going to get them. Yeah.
I think that's a stupid Hill to die on and yeah sooner or later it's going to come into the game. Yeah, when they find a natural way to bring it to the game, it'll pop into the game. It would make it more surprising to them. Keep shutting it down and shutting it down. Hmm. And then one day, bam, here you go. Yep. The honestly, I don't know why there's such a fight for this. The whole argument of it makes you more creative. Doesn't make any sense.
You're also taking away and stupefying, someone's creativity already. Yeah. Many times. Many times I would like a concrete staring Slap. Ya just wasn't there. All right. That's all I got. That's it. That's everything for me. Cool. So that's going to do it for today's show. Before I have Jimbo reaches out. I want to say a huge thank you to all of our patrons who are supporting the show.
