Transcript

Everyone, welcome to the weathering effect episode. 144. Today's date is May 22nd, 2022 and I am Duds are duds versus known to the rest of your webs. I'm Jimbo. You may know me as Jimbo slice 23. So what have you been up to this week Duds? Well, if you can't tell by the way, I sound. I've been sick. Yeah, you can hear a little bit. This is the first, it's early first time in at least a decade. I've Sick. Oh, yeah, bad luck. Yeah, I'll have allergies every once while.

And that's that's not a big deal. That doesn't really stop me from doing anything. Hmm. But I've essentially spent the weekend and the bed. So yeah, we're not gonna run over on time this week 100% sure. I've got a real sore throat. So talking is a bit painful. So we're definitely going to get straight to the point and a lot of this and I am so sorry. Carl for all these sniffles. You'll probably be Hang out. I really apologize. Leave them in there. Leave them it with, everyone

knows you sick. Anyway, just leave it in there. Carl. That's true girl. Take him out. Curls of perfectionist. Yeah, and the random muting. I'll do to cough. But I have I have done some work this week. I don't know if I want to spoil the first part of my episode because it was really fun to make. No I won't spoil it. I've been doing a lot of fun intros lately or at least two in a row that I I think people might enjoy. So I'll leave that one. No spoilers. I got a sneak peek.

It's pretty good. Yeah, I did some villager work, which is the first time on while breeding those guys getting. I was gonna move villagers on stream and then I got sick and I didn't stream and I didn't play so that kind of stinks. But one of the things I've complained about all season is lack of redstone. So I was just my next episodes like I'm going to figure out a way to give Uh, some Redstone lot of people just like, just go mining for it. I don't like mining. Hmm.

I know that sounds weird to say, Mining and Minecraft stinks, but I think you borrowed some for me like yeah, here you go. That's how you get it. I did. But yeah, mining is not fun to me. It's the most boring part of Minecraft. So I don't like to do it. I like to build farms to passively. Get me things and you look at Redstone Farms. Easiest ones, a, which Farm. Hmm. Not real. Near me. I don't want to have to travel thousands of blocks to get to a witch hut.

A raid Farm works well, but to get the that's right. There are witches in reform yet. Very small quantity, though. So that would hurt that. But with these new stacking raid Farms, you could get a massive amount in a short amount of time, didn't realize that. But to get the bad Omen effect. You need a Pillager Outpost. And again, there's not one nearby me. Yeah. I think there's a couple on the server already.

Yeah, so I just went back to doing my Village were saying, I was looking up trades for my stonecutter villagers. The main block is courts, but I was like, well what other blocks could I get with these guys? And I just happen to look over and it turns out clerics trade emeralds for Redstone. Mmm, and I didn't realize that. So, I'm now designing a cleric Tower which is really just which Tower. That's going to house these guys.

I'm going to have, like, I think for I decided maybe five roaming around in this thing. It'll be the first time I have villagers able to roam. Yeah, we'll see how that goes. I got to make sure the can't get in and out. Nothing else can get in and out. But, yeah, Clark Tower. I'm looking forward to that. I've got an idea, my head. I've got the framework already built out. I'm hoping to do a little bit more this afternoon. We'll see how I'm feeling, but that's basically been my week.

How about you? I like the idea of the clerk Tower in my on my base. I was doing a couple buildings to house my villagers and I wanted to make the building's correlate with the type of villager it is. Yeah, so yeah, cleric Tower. Like a like magical Tower. I'm thinking of in my head. Exactly. Yeah, that would be perfect. I don't have any clerics real said, steal that idea. But yeah, like that me.

I haven't done any recording this week because Last week, I was on every day trying to finish my heaven. Palace Heaven, pretty much not. Just the palace. I put in the portal for heaven, the walkway and did the palace all within that week. Pretty much. I started later. It probably took me a little over a week, but you haven't been on recording much. I did a little bit of the interior and I don't think I've

mentioned this. We didn't record last week, if you guys noticed the dates, but I did finish. Finish all that. It's on my YouTube really happy the way. It came out. Beautiful building took me forever to design it. Thank you took so long to design it even longer to build it in survival had to go after blocks many time, but yet turned out great. Like I said, I was on the server a lot during that time and most of my time wasn't building. It was out Gathering resources courts.

Mainly I try to trade for some and then you can only trade for Much in a day with the Villager. So in order for me to get it quicker, I just go into The Nether and see. I don't mind mining for all that stuff if I have to. But I know, I have to get things done. I'll go after it going and getting courts. Isn't that bag of bad of an issue for me? It's the branching yet Branch mining. If I, if I do it wrong, we'll give me motion sickness and that'll last hours for me. Hmm.

So to me Me like everyone's like why do you hate the beginning of every season? It's like, because most of the time I'm sick to my stomach. Mmm didn't realize that.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I don't mind Branch mining, it can get real monotonous, you know, just over and over again, you do the same thing, but I I'm always curious of what's behind the next block, you know, is it going to be diamonds is going to be Redstone. What's it going to be always look at it in that sense except now is it's only going to be whatever why level you're at. Right, and I think it's more fun

now. Not yet not Branch mining, just to go caving because the keys are so beautiful in this update. So I'd rather go look for cave and it'll take you pretty deep these different cave entrances. So, that's what I've been trying to do and you can you can find a lot in like deep water aquifers. I find a lot of different ores that way because you're in the water you can reach all these different doors and most of the time there's a Magma block down there so you can breathe if you

need a break. So I find that the best way to go get oars is fun. One of those got to find one. But yeah, besides all that I've started training for my new job in real life and doing that this week, most of its safety training. But I start tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about it. Get to tour the plane time at the coal plant, do maintenance. So, I know a couple guys that work here should Be too bad. It is six days a week but eight hour day should be too bad. Yeah, that's about it for

miweek. Let's go ahead and hop into the news. We have the first pre-release. Mmm, kind of figured this was coming over the last month. I will start out saying that there is no release date for 119, but with pre-releases, we know it's generally soon. I think the longest I've seen pre-releases run is 2 months, but those were with some of the bigger up to was it 113. The Aquatic update that had like a two-month pre-release, like, we went to pre-release 11 or 12. I can't remember.

I remember it being really long and then ripple effect just kind of like started. It approved ladies because we got tired of waiting. I think you're right. Yeah, we did start a season in pre-release. I think I could be wrong. I'm pretty medicated right? I don't know. But yeah, pre-release number one. They've slightly reduced the number of mangrove trees in. The swamps. I'm assuming this is so boats. Can travel through there a bit easier. Yeah. Yeah. I never thought about it that

way. That could help. Yeah. Not as dense. Correct. I did. Kind of like the atmosphere with all the trees. I know you to make it difficult with the boats and everything. Yeah. Yeah. We're looking forward to the atmosphere with the lightning bugs too. But I did like that dense. Look with the mangrove trees. I did too. I haven't seen Anything that looks extremely different from what we had earlier. So I don't know if we're just not getting good images or video, but it doesn't look like

it's too bad. So yeah, and everything I've seen is just from what I've been watching. I've never got to experience it myself. Right? Just I think I went to a deep dark but that was like the very first snapshot when it came out and that was about it. But yeah, I've never got to explore a mangrove swamp yet. No, intermittent skeletons with your skeletons and Penguins. Now, spawn in a wider range of light levels. Mmm. This is in the nether. The new light level is from 0 to 11. Yeah.

This is not a big change. You know, what was it before? I don't know. So little higher lower. I guess it was 027. Yeah. For Enderman skeletons, wither skeletons. I think Penguins always are know that might be Zombie, Pigmen. Zombie Penguins. Basically, I think It can spawn and anything below 15. Yeah, which is why a lot of people are like, why I let everything up. It's like, well, it's really hard to keep 15 light level everywhere. So it's easier, just to carpet.

Yep, carpet half, slab all that stuff. If you want to hug that spawn proof be best to do that. Yeah item interaction vibrations are now admitted when you start using or finishing an item. Sorry. I'm reading this all crazy, but basically applies to bows crossbows goat horns shield and Food, but also, when you're sneaking those vibrations get ignored. So you can stay quiet and still eat, not your bow. Knock your bow, right? Yeah, and they say, you're the bow User. It's not gibbo.

The knock, is the ain't you? Anchor it? Really? Yeah. Anchor your bow. But yeah, the knock is the, on the other side of the arrow. Where the feathers are. Yeah, that's your knock. But when you put that on the string, yep, knock your bow. See, I know terms. Yeah. Yeah, you got it. The vibrations. It's a the sensitivity for the skulk sensor. Right? Just so people know we didn't mention the skulk sensor.

But yeah, the vibration interaction with the bows in the crossbows when you pull back, sculpt sensor, picks up on that. Yeah, but that's pretty neat. Yeah, I think there's a bug fix now. When like you're putting armor on, it wasn't a problem in Java or not, Java in Bedrock, but it was like, it was making the incorrect. Sounds, when you were. Moving armor around these, some

of them. So it seems that has been fixed, but items such as pumpkins, will play, generic whip sound and you put them on, it won't sound like armor. Okay, nothing big like there is a decent amount of bug fixes, but there's kind of way. It's been for the last three or four. Snapshots have been little tweaks, little changes and mostly bug fixes. We do have a couple game events and it's basically just determining the The vibration frequency.

So like a new block has a vibration frequency of 6 and instrument play. Which would basically be the goat horn because I think that's the only instrument we have in the game, right? Yeah. It's categorized as an instrument, not an item now has a frequency of 15. Now. I don't know. A lot about the frequency is that like Redstone strength signal vibration, I guess, vibration frequency of 15. Yeah. Yeah. Maximum strength. You would think, yeah, that's Be light.

Level goes up to 15, Redstone goes up to 15. You would think that's the max, right? But not positive. We should. Which makes you think? Why is the knobloch solo? Yeah. I mean you, I could see the horn being a little louder, but not, that's true. Yeah, six. Yeah. Is that what it was six? Yeah. You think it'd be louder than that? Yeah. I put the note block at least ten, right? Yeah. A little bit lower, not over half as true. But then again, I don't understand the vibration

frequency thing altogether. Either. So maybe I'm just completely wrong. Yeah, we have to get used to it. Eventually. It sounds like it's coming soon. I'm sure. We're going to get a lot of like bug fixes. Usually with snapshots. It's or pre-releases. That's what you get. Yeah, very seldom. Do they give you something new? Like I think last time with the nether we got brutes out of nowhere right after the release.

So there's still possible possibilities of getting new things, but we're pretty much looking looking at changes coming. Yeah, her fixes. If they were to Riyadh anything late. I would assume it would be fireflies and I would assume it's just because of the backlash they received for removing fireflies. Yeah. Yeah, they gave us a taste of that. A little bit of the Birch Forest but it never really put that in game. This show is but the fireflies. Yeah, we never saw it in game all.

Yeah, that's kind of it for the news. This moving to SAC on some. It's we got one from raker. They say my comment about the main discussion. Question is that I don't think Mojang has intentionally made things more difficult. I don't even think that they have made things more difficult at all. The question was very leading and assumed initially things were more difficult. But I think that it's more of a personal opinion. They've given us more of a

choice and agency. We can now, pick specific levels to have a higher chance of finding a particular. I think that's far less difficult and more interesting. Then we now choose where to my and see. This is personal opinion, because my opinion is that it's more difficult for me to mine things. Having to figure out the Y, level, the mine, and add, or as I used to be able to just go down to why level 11 and get everything. Yes. Definitely. Big Game Changer.

Yeah. I mean, I guess you could find things at a certain level. It's very like sparse in that case. Yeah, but if you really want to gather what you need, you might have. To get deeper into a more difficult area once in this comes down to people's gameplay. Mmm, if you're a minor, if that's your gameplay, you love digging in the ground. And yes, this is not more difficult for you. This is awesome. This is great. Once I get out of the first month of playing.

I don't want to go back in the ground unless I have to. Yeah, they did you make it to where you got to explore caves, pretty much. I mean, you could avoid them. It. But the caves, you know, they made it less pain proof or spawnable, you know by taking the light level down so that helps the difficulty the other way, you know, kind of balances a little bit, but the caves are also bigger, right? Which means you would need more torches in a cave that you would a branch mind.

Yeah. When I do come across these caves, there still a lot of mobs, right? Yeah. It's not just very few because it's all 0 in that case. What you come across one of these. Yeah, it does take fewer torches to light these things that normal but like you said, there's still a huge area. Yeah, and like I said, it's all in the eye of the player. Some people might not find the change that drastic it is okay, but for me, it was a major change and one that I did not recover from very well.

I know how to fix it. I know what I need to do in the next season, but as I've said again, I don't like Underground. I don't like mining. It gives me sick to my stomach. I'd rather farm for materials and the farming for materials aspect didn't become easier. So therefore getting materials became more difficult. The ability of killing mobs has not been has not become more difficult.

The surviving aspect did not become more difficult, but the ability to gain materials quickly and more efficiently because honestly going to one y level and just mining straight was Is a lot more efficient than going to different why levels. Now, it is more efficient. If you're only looking for red stuff, then you can go to that why level and mine but early game when you need everything, it's way more efficient to be one. One level and go from there.

Yeah. So again, it's all about how you play. That's what we've come across with my car. Everybody Plays the game differently. Yeah, with the 119 coming out the difficulty was raised with the deep dark. There's ancient cities. And see to me, it doesn't raise a difficulty because I have no plans on exploring the deep dark, right? That's if you want to go there, you know, if you want to experience that. Yeah, you can go there and experience it.

But if you if you don't want to like on a single player world, maybe you need some of that stuff that's there to move on to the next level. But in a multiplayer world, you have other members that can help you out in that sense. Yeah, and you wouldn't have to go and we'll talk more about that in our main discussion. But moving on to the other comment. This is posted on Discord and it

discusses difficulty a bit too. It's a couple tweets from King be dogs, stating that he's pretty happy where the warden is and let me just read it fully so I don't misspeak. Actually. I'm going to have you read it so I can not talk. Oh no, I'm gonna read this. No. Okay. No, I understand. King bee dogs tweeted. I'm pretty happy with where the ward. Is I've seen some pose with ways to cheese it. Jesus, where people think we'll want to patch these methods, those methods. Sorry.

It's small writing to me. I don't have good idea, but he says not really, I don't think it's bad to cheese. The warden. It's just bad to do it in very obvious ways, like pilling up two blocks. Then he also mentioned Minecraft is still a Sandbox game in the end, trying to force a style of gameplay. To the most extreme ends, wouldn't really serve the game. Well, Lightly nudging in a particular gameplay. Stout Direction feels more appropriate and I think the

warden does that, and I agree. You're supposed to sneak around the word, not attack the warden and kill it. Mmm. I still think the word in his kind of Opie if it spawns. There's very little, very few. Have I seen someone actually survive? A Warren Spahn without choosing it. Yeah, early earlier before they made different adjustments. There is many ways. Is of choosing it?

Yeah. Yeah. I've seen one as of right now, but it wasn't necessarily cheese in it. They were taking hits from the blast but they were pulling her up so far to where they can reach it. It can't reach them, but they have to use their Sonic Blast if that's what it's called. I don't know it's called but it wasn't knocking them off the pillar, so they were able to recoup and continuously hit the

the warden. And that's another thing that I think, if you have full nether, right, armor knock-back right, is like, One of those automatic things you have on there so you can't get knocked off a pillar, right? Yeah, so I'm be, you still have to go through the difficulty of gathering nether right gear to cheese the warden, you know, it's not like you can go in there with nothing and the fact that there's the only incentive of killing the warden.

Well, I guess to get the loot a little easier. You're still liable to set off the Shrieker again and spawn him again. So it's not that once you once he's done. He's done. He Could come back. So it is best to sneak around, but he doesn't drop really anything. What is it a sensor or is it just a sensor, a Shrieker maybe, and they a thing, it's just a Streaker. Okay. Yeah, it's not worthy loot. It was never supposed to be or the loot. Hmm, right. That to me.

The big thing is on servers. Like us, who have mob, head drops Warden head will be the prize. Yeah, people will be putting that on the mantle. Hmm. I could see it being a fun group activity. Yeah, let's go. Explore the ancient. Ancient city. That's true and see who the warden goes after and laughs at that person. If, if I were to go to a deep dark, that tie would want to do, it would be a group project to

just like, let's go down there. Set our spawn, drop the armor and messed around and see who dies the most. Yeah, that'd be fun. You look at game, the sneak gameplay and video games. I have never been a fan of, like, I love the Assassin Creed games, but the sneak playthrough Parts. We're always. My least favorite. Yeah, I never I never minded. It mind. Is it? Never mind it? What was it long time ago? With Solid Snake? What game is that? Yeah, Metal Gear. Solid Metal Gear, Solid.

That's pretty much what it was. A sneak attack kind of game. Yeah, my buddy was always into that and I just I couldn't get into it. It's pretty popular though. You just put the cardboard box over your head. It's cool to see all these different aspects of Minecraft though. You know, you don't It have to sneak normally but now, you know, you have a, you have a reason at least during pillaging and looting. Yeah. Building, you'd have to sneak it. Is that all we have for listener

comments. That gets it? All right. Yeah, I agree with King be dogs. Also. Thank you for that question. Rake that comment was from our Discord is the only place you can talk to everyone who works on the show easily. Just take Casey's word for it. I know that craft is Casey plays here. The weathering effect Discord is a big part of the show. It's the first place.

The team look for listener comments and the only place to vote in mende Minecraft. If you've been thinking about joining for a while, now is a great time to get involved in our amazing Community. Just follow the link in the show notes. Thank you for the Discord. Add Casey, speaking of the discords. The only place you can get involved, are mending Minecraft fucked this week. We asked you to choose between one of three structures for us to discuss it improve.

Your choices were buried. Treasure ship wreck and ocean monument in the winner of mending Minecraft. This week is Ocean Monument ocean, Monument had 28 votes, 15 votes for Buried Treasure and eight for the Shipwreck. I was kind of rooting for ocean Monument. How dare you know, you didn't like that. Nope. I like the assume on you. So a few things before we get started on the ocean, Monument. They should monuments also known simply as monuments are rare.

Underwater structures found in deep ocean biomes and different. Ocean variants. They are made out of Prismarine blocks, prismarine bricks, dark, prismarine and see, Landers pretty much all the prismarine variations and are inhabited by Guardians and Elder Guardians. This is the only place also

where you can find sponges. When approaching the monument a mining fatigue will affect the player due to the three Elder, Guardians, that reside there and will not go away until the three Elders are defeated around the center of the central section lies. The treasure chamber, a tall room with 8 gold. Blocks and cased in Dart prismarine and you can also or you can obtain Ocean Explorer Maps, which are bought from cartographer villagers with

emeralds. So you can easily access these Ocean Monuments, but that's about it. We should monuments. Are one of the completes. Pleat, completist structures in the gate words are hard. So there wasn't a lot to fix your audience. You give me a shipwreck. Sure. Buried treasure. I have a whole list of stuff that but an ocean Monument. It's a structure that houses, mobs, that can be converted into a farm to Great structure in Minecraft. And I was very confused on.

Why this one got upgrades or wanted upgrades? And I think it's because it's been around so long probably that people just assume and needs a fix. And there were several things. I started listing, but it turns out I was fixing the Guardians and not the structure itself. Yeah, I ended up losing a good five or six items because I was like, I'm not here to fix guardias. I'm here to fix the structure itself. What's funny is, I think you're right.

I think it pretty much got voted in because it's the oldest and popularity, maybe because I'm looking at the Discord now. And most of the time, the members like, to discuss, you know, what's being voted on and nothing about the monument is there. So, not even the Discord could come up with something. To change. It is a it is a pretty complete structure. I agree right? There are, there are a couple things I would fix. One sponge room should be a

guarantee. Absolutely D amount the last three ocean, Monument. I've done have not had a sponger. Okay between single player and SP is like that's a loss. Mmm, that shouldn't happen maybe in the amount of sponges. Like I think you should be able to get up to like two stacks of sponges and one of these things. Yeah. I didn't mention this but there's He's up to 30 sponges / sponge room, right? So it says approximately 30 wet sponges yet. Yeah. And a sponge has a decent loot.

I know there's a people saying, aye, you barely kind of use it. It's a decent Loop. It, I'd put it up there as a higher quality loot. Yeah. It's very rare, right? So sponge rooms should definitely be guarantee and I wanted to add more loot now and before I go too far, does. I want to explain my thought process. I'm sure you don't see. S or Loot and stuff like that. Because when Mojang design them

Guardians, don't have hands. Why would they use his chest and all that stuff Guardians, don't need things. There is something here that explains why there's no chest. Okay, it was. It was because they couldn't waterlog. Oh, correct. Okay, and it looked weird. Yes. So that was the main reason why they didn't have them in the first place. Yeah. Yeah. I figured that was also but lower wise. Hmm. Right now, you can waterlogged chest. We should add Loot and lower. Why is why it works is?

What the Guardians did not build the ocean Monument. They don't have hands true. So somebody built the ocean monument in my lure. So I'm going to save mile or so people don't get confused. Is that the drowned built the ocean monument in the Guardians? Kicked him out and stole it. They took over. So there you would find drowned. Like a tried in a Cod do it may be water breathing, potions, stuff like that. Not excessively great loot, but

upper tier. Loot that makes traveling to multiple monuments worth it, especially if you're getting sponges with the side. Yeah. Some kind of lute relative to the monument right? Maybe like a water breathing. Yeah of book and that one little bit of lore gives you an Insight on the fixes. As I was coming up for Guardian. So if they show up in mending Minecraft, there you go. Yeah, it's a mob. We never really talked about. I don't think it's ever been up for vote. I think Elder.

Guardian has hmm. I can't remember. Yeah, I think you're right. That's one thing. I wish they could change. Is I feel like the mining fatigue takes so long. Like it's I'm not sure how long it lasts but seems like forever like it when you defeat, it defeat the monument, normally, you know, chug a bucket of milk because that's how much you need.

Guess is a whole bucket of milk. And then when you do that, all your enchantments are gone or not enchantments your spells from your why can't I think it is from your potions, your potion effects. So you got to, you have another set of those just to go down and grab the sponges, but you always felt like it shouldn't be that long wig. Once the Elder Guardians are done. I feel like there's like four minutes left on the clock. You got to wait to go back down and get your sponges feel.

Like it should be less than that. I don't care if they widen the area. Yeah, you know when you get closer, I don't think I have a distance range of how the mining fatigue affects you from. How far it gets like Beacon length. About too short. I'm sure that's under Elder Guardian. This is it a monument thing. But yeah, that always bothered me. Those were the only two fixes. I had more the monument. Like I said, the monument itself feels mostly complete.

I kind of figured the no chest where because of you weren't able to waterlog them at the I'm and lore wise it didn't make sense for Guardians to have chess because they don't have hands. So yeah, right, but now that you can waterlog chest and with a tweak to the lower, it definitely weren't some loot. So that would be a Cool Change. I'd like to see you know that work drown at the time. Anyway, yeah, they couldn't use that Lord then they can.

Now let's head into our main topic because Cuz it's a decently large one. Hmm. So, with the pre-release coming out, we assume there's no more major features being brought forth for the 119 update Jimbo, and I have decided to do a tier list of what we think, about everything in the update. I thought it was cool that the pre-release came out, because it turns out we were going to do this before. The pre-release came out. When did we say? Hey, let's do a tier list.

It had to been a Days ahead of time. I was going to mention it to you. Like we should do it this week. Yeah, and you ended up messaging me that. That's okay. Great minds. Think alike, May 16th iMessage. You, hey, let's do a tier list and you're like, dude, I was gonna say that. Hmm. So May 16, we had the idea for the tier list and sure enough. It worked out that it was a pre-release. So that's awesome. Good timing. Good? Tyree. We're not really good at time. He's either.

But we nailed that one that being said, I'm going to pull something up real quick. So I have a bigger view of what items are what, there's some things that are left off. We went on a website and did this, they have. Yeah, made up for us. We can make it to your list. There are some items that we that weren't there that we're going to have to throw in there. And I was just thinking about them as we got to this subject because we didn't bring it up ahead of time. We're missing the discs and

we're missing the compass. Of The Shard. What's The Shard called? Echo shards? Echo, shards were missing those. So, yeah, all that's missing. Yeah, they're not up to date there. I guess at the tier maker. I'm going to hit back real quick. See if they show up the website crashed. It could handle as calling it out there. Like, oh, maybe we better fix. It. Redneck is shards as we speak. Let's start with, let's start with the warden. That's the biggest baddest thing on the list, right?

Yeah. You want my opinion? Oh, actually, I want to preface. That on my original list. I never put anything in need more info, or will hurt game. Mmm. I never put anything down there. I will now, but there's a tear lower than that. I didn't touch that to your, but I did add a few. In that category you're talking about. Yeah. Anyways yet the warden, where have you placed the warden? I put it in the St. R. I really I love the fact. I like to challenge. I love the fact that there's a

new boss. Or what would you call it? Kind of bosses it to different. Kind of Boss, not a main boss, but it's a pretty tough opponent. I love, I love it's animations. I love the way it. It's mechanics. Wait senses. You doesn't necessarily see you. It can attack anything that's around. Its kind of derpy. I really I like the warden, you know, in the last update and update before that, I believe but we're getting it now and I'm really Really happy with the way it turned out.

Yeah, I put the words under cool. I don't know what s mine says. Game Changer. Great addition. Cool. May need more info will her game. Okay. Yeah. I got it s is game changer. We have a category like that. Categorize all I get I have mine in the mid tier under cool. The words cold. Mmm, but I have I have no urge to go mess with it. Hmm. So yeah, I think it's abilities. It's the crawling out of the And it is scary as crap, but it's a mob that doesn't provide

anything useful for the game. And I understand that that was its design function. But that also hurts someone like me. Who likes to have mobs. That serve that secondary purpose. So it just goes under cool because to me it's an, it's an Ambience mob. Yeah. It's an Ambience mob, that wants to kill you. I like to do the next one as the animation like apparently the anime. Nation is one of the big updates but that's what it looks like in our tier list.

It looks like the animation from the warden and I have it as cool. I think it I think it's cool. Not that you know the best thing ever. Not too sure why. It's in the tier list. I mean it is a cool animation. There's a bunch of different animations added but this animation seems to be on the tier list and I put it at cool. I have it the exact same spot. I don't think it's really the animation. I think it's the The sound Echo attack, whatever it's called.

Okay, I can't think of the name. Now. That's the other thing. Our tier list doesn't give the names Sonic Blast. Yeah. Hmm. I think it's that and I put it under cool because it's a different attack than what we're used to. Yeah, most range attack is throwing or shooting things. So the fact that it's a sonic boom, that's cool to me. That's a change. So yeah, I like it. Let's hop into some of the other moms. Let's keep the mobster. Keep going. Okay, let's start with tadpoles

in a bucket, man. I have. Yeah, I have tadpoles under met the fact that you could scoop them up in a bucket. Seems like an obvious thing. Yeah. Again, I don't know why it's on the tier list, but it was there. Yeah, I have tadpoles in a bucket below tadpoles. I think it's just because tadpoles is a new mob. I did the same thing. So let's move to tadpoles because I have tadpoles under cool. Yeah. Yeah, but I feel like now thinking about it.

I like the fact that you can put them in buckets. Because you would like a different color for all to get a different Frog Light. So the fact that you can put them in a bucket, makes that easier to get different types of frogs. So I could move that up and I had thought about it. The only reason I didn't move it up is because we've come to expect that we can scoop up. Water mobs in a bucket. Right? That's true. We can do with Ox a Latos.

We could do a fish. So, I assumed we were going to be able to do that with the tadpoles and we can so, Mmm. Yeah, I feel like that. That should be the same thing. When you're talking about, tadpoles. You're talking about, tadpoles and buckets in general. I kind of agree. You're right. I don't know why. They're separated. I'll count tadpoles in general. I say they're cool because any time you add a new mob to the game.

It's at least going to be cool. Hmm, even if it doesn't have super functionality, like the warden. I have right next to the tadpole because functionally, technically, a tadpole can almost do more than the warden. For me, personally, the fact that they become Frog and then give me Frog Light. Whereas a wardens just going to kick. My butt is so true. You next to farm those correct? Well, I guess you could form the warden, but why would you tell? Why would you?

There's no point and I agree with Mojang's decision to. They don't want it to be a formal mom and wanted to do what they did exactly what they said, but it doesn't matter to me. Tadpoles tadpoles are just as good as warden. So, my list stay down. The tadpole thing the spawn eggs or is it frogspawn frogspawn? Yeah, they have that separated. Which I guess it could be. I have it under his underneath a

man, you know, need more info. I didn't even put it on my list because of that because I didn't want it. I didn't want it to be considered low on the list. Hmm. But like it would look great as a decoration piece, but if you're constantly going to have tadpole spawning in there and turning into frogs like that would, And a ruin it for that. Okay. I just considered them tadpoles. Yeah, I don't even know if you can walk on them when they're in water.

I don't think you can. I think you can destroy them on a boat game. I don't know. You think you could set it running into him. You think it? Yeah, our room don't know. But let's go to the final stage of the tadpole in the Frog. Okay. I've got frog in your cool. That's where I got. It. Prague's. Pretty cool rocks. Pretty cool. The animations cute. I will definitely have frogs around my base, no matter where I am. I'm staying. Mmm. Yeah. Hey, I like that. There's different variants.

Yes. Different colors are very nice. Hmm. He had not a lot of mob do that some do but not many hmm. We got that with the frog in the animations. Animations are the best. Yeah. Where they croak. I love watching frogs walked. It's hilarious. Hmm. Jump from lily pad to Lily Pad at the gets my favorite part with the frogs or the animations. I hope they give the Frog, you know, the Memes of the cats lining up a jump and they go to jump and they end up way short. They just fall.

Hmm, that'd be great. I want the frogs to be able to do that. Just enter inaccurate when they jump whole time. That'd be hilarious. Constantly Landing in the water and missing the lily pad. Hmm. Oh, I'd love that. Now, there is something on here that they didn't give us and that's the Frog lights. Here. We talk about that. Next. I have fog lights under great addition. Yeah, that's where I got it. You light sources.

Are always great. I will say I do not like the texture of the Frog Light, but I do think it's very cool that you can rotate the Frog Light. Yeah, I think the Verde I think it is Frog Light just looks too much like a sea liner. Hmm. It looks like an ugly ceiling. Yeah, the other ones are different enough that I could see myself using them for some things. Now, the process of getting fog lights is kind of a pain so I don't see them overtaking light sources, but hmm.

I feel that. It's a it's a good step. Like I said, it's really only the textures about frog eyes. I don't fully like the technique again. Mm. Yeah, but somebody is going to have a farm for these guys, right? Yeah. I think it's they have to got to be the magma. Cubes that they eat to get these for all the lights, the tiny magma, cubes too. Mmm. They can be bred with slime, but that's not how they think they eat slime and produce slime balls. So it's another killing

mechanism for slimes. That should be fun. Yeah, the frog frogs got a lot going for it. The last mob we got ya, is what was voted on the islet. Yeah, unfortunately have a pretty low just because the category have it in his need more info. I feel like I need to, I need to find one of these things and have one before I can actually judge this thing because what I was thinking I could use it for Doesn't seem practical. So I'm it's a wait-and-see type of thing.

I could move it up to math which is above need more info. Just because it's a new mob and it looks great. Yeah, I have it under cool because I will not put any new mob under cool. Unless I feel it's actively hurting the game and I don't think the islet actively hurts the game. I agree with you and the fact that what we all expected it able to do doesn't seem like it's a Thing that's going to happen. My biggest disappointment is it doesn't look like we can breed

these things. No, it looks like we have to go find them. They're rare. And for people who play on an SP. We all know the kind of person who's quite literally just going to spend the first weeks or so Gathering. All the allays, when the first 5000 block radius. I hope not and no one's going to get them but that person and they're just going to try to make a machine with it. That's not going to work. Mmm, yeah, you'd have to gather up. So many.

You put these in like some kind of item sorter which is right initially what I thought there would be useful for. Yeah. Yeah, they're pretty rare. There's not many of them. I definitely like the idea of having like a little buddy. Follow you around grab stuff for you II, haven't seen it and a good enough process yet to move. I want to put it under. Great addition. Me, too. I really do but I just had to have Haven't seen enough to Warrant it.

We're like we're on pre-release one and I haven't seen the islet. Look complete yet. Yeah, and we're gonna make a new tier list eventually once we get to play with all these things and it could move up in a sense. But oh, yeah, we'll save these pictures and we'll redo the tier list once we played with the new snapshot and we'll add all the things that weren't added. Yep, which is I'm sticking of another one that were not. That's not In here, what's up?

Besides the echo. Shards is the goat horns. The see, we've had go horns. Yeah, I guess they were in there. It's a little different now. So, with the music, yeah, wriggle effects had goat horns. So it's nothing new for us. Well, since we're there, where would you put those man man, man? Yeah. That's what I was thinking. They don't really do anything. Hmm. It's an instrument. If they were to bring the the copper go horns that actually let you play notes and stuff.

It would be higher on the list. We're not getting those yet. We're not getting them. Oh, I thought we were getting this. No. Okay. Yeah, it's me. At least I don't think so. And now, do you say that?

I don't think it was. I thought it was in a snapshot that might have been Bedrock. It wasn't a snapshot and they said it's an extremely experimental and was probably going to be taken back out and I haven't seen it put in anything else since you haven't heard about it since it one time, so, So we can go swamp or we can go ancient cities. So we're certain to come up on the biomes. Now. Let's do swamp. I have it as great addition. The swamp itself.

I have great addition. Well, it's Mangrove swamp. Obviously. Yeah. Mangroves will be a rule of the look of it and it gives you a lot of different stuff, which is something we can talk about like, the mangrove. Would I like the mango? Grove would, but I do like the other Woods better. So I put it under cool. I have Mangrove would under great addition. Mmm. I really like the red color. I really like how we got trap doors doors like, full-on versions of it.

Hmm. I know a lot of people is like, well, you should kind of expect that it hey, with our stairs and slabs issues still going around. I don't fully expect anything. So the fact that we've got all the different versions would types, For Mangrove void and the red color was nice. It's not Mojang has this thing for bright vibrant colors and it hurts me to build with those physically hurts me. I can't explain it. Like yeah. None of my builds have super bright vibrant colors.

It's not really your style. It's not my style. So the fact I have a bit of a subdued red is really nice. I'll be bringing some more Reds into my builds and I I really like the shapes of the trap doors in the door and stuff like that. So yeah, like how they're different shapes and stuff to give them a whole different look. Yeah. I do like this red look better than the nether like you said.

There's it's pretty much those two Woods that are more vibrant than the other and it makes sense that they're in a different dimension this so they can do that. They wanted to those woods. Yeah. This is the color I imagined when I heard Crimson wood or whatever it was. We're going to get instead. We got this purple. Yeah, at least people are saying, I'm colorblind. I don't know what color to me Crimson wood looks purple and a little bit.

You know, if anyone else sees this, this, this Mangrove would that's Crimson to me when you mention there's purple and black stone. I thought you were colorblind, but you can see a little bit. I only said that because Carl said that and then I went holy crap. There is Carl. Could see next in the swamp would be The Roots about the rooted block, and what do you have that one? I have it as cool.

It's a nice transparent block. The fact that it could hold and waterlog water, you get ahold mud. That's cool on its own. It's not a very good-looking block. It needs stuff around it to work. So I don't have any higher than cool, but it's higher than some of the other stuff on slits. Mmm, Yeah, initially. I thought we would have had it lower, but they did give it some cool features.

Cheers, and I have it under cool now, but I think I'm going to move it up. Not all the way to Game Changer, but great addition just because like you said, it could be waterlogged. It can also run Redstone, like it does a lot of cool things and it's pain-proof. I believe unless it's a stack a change, I think frogs can spawn on it or something like that, but certain mobs can. But yeah, it's something different that we don't have

from other blocks. But then again they also gave some of those features to the leaf. Blocks, right? Like you can now waterlog Leaf blocks and stuff. So you don't necessarily need the root block to get these cool abilities. I could I can't move it to game changer, for that sense. That sense. I went ahead and sent you a better link that completes the stuff we were missing. Oh look at that so we can go by that now too. Mmm. Yeah mudded mudroom box. Wow. Yeah, there's so much stuff that

was missing. Yeah, but talking about, Let's jet. Well, actually we should talk about the mangrove seed, the way it works. Yeah, I have that as a very well cool, because it's so different from the way we plant saplings stuff now, yeah, even with the nether trees, I mean gather mushrooms stuff, but you still place them on a block of bone meal. These the fact that they will fall out of the tree. You could put them in water. Very cool.

Yeah, I do think they're cool. I have I'm under met man, this because it's yeah, it's just another sapling for another tree but it is different. It is different. It's definitely different. There's different stages to it and everything. My biggest worry is I don't want them to grow on a tree and then fall out of a tree and they grow another tree, right? Under a tree. Yeah. I don't think that's how it works. But I get F. I feel like we didn't get much detail in this snapshot.

Yeah. It's got to play with it. I guess. Yeah, that's why I can't wait for it to come out so I can All my Nuance questions can get answered. Hmm. So mudblood. I like mud. I like mud to. I have another great addition mean, you both. It's a great addition to the game. Usually you'd have to take a block and make it look like mud. Yes, but now we got it. Yeah, the mud is a little bit purplish to me.

I can't do Mojang in the purple's cic darkest gray, but you're going to force it on me. I know you are. Well, it's going to turn purple here in the next two minutes. Haven't any If you really want to get to it, it really looks like a dark cyan terracotta. Yeah, that's what I see more texture. I would have liked a little bit of brown because all the mud, I will, I say that I'm from North Carolina. We don't have brown mud, and

dirt. Everything around here is red because the clay, which I think is funny. Because clay, and the game is like gray, clay around. Here's bright. Orange red. Yeah. Yeah. I yeah. You think mud. You'd think Brown, you know, a deep dark brown. Maybe it's because we have those semi-different brown textures. But then again, when you drive these mud blocks, they become dried. What is it? It's called Mud blocks actually or bricks that what it is.

Yes Rick's, yeah, that's brown. Actually a little tannish brown, but they look great. They do I have it under great addition packed my bin breaks. Thank you. Ami Ami's, listening in life. You needed you. There. I'll be I'd have them a little higher. If we had all the variants. Well, we only we have slabs, slabs, blocks and stairs. Right? Well, I don't think there's any walls. Yeah, I was just about to ask about walls because I think this would look very good as a wall.

Yeah, if we add that there's still time mud bricks. I'm looking to make sure there are stairs and slabs. There are no no, there is walls. I was wrong. Nice. Yeah, wasn't sure. I wanted to make sure I didn't. I've never seen anyone use the wall but there is a mud brick wall. Nice. So Gigi, I wouldn't hire them. Well, I already have it as great addition. It's not a game changer. Great addition. Yeah. Is there anything else to do with mud? I think that's it.

Yes. Well just one more thing with the swamp and that's the boat chest chest boots. Oh, yeah, great addition. I have it under math man. Yeah. I know it helps with inventory. Little bit some storage. Ian's. But wait. Now, if you break it, it separates, right? All your items come out, all the items. Yeah, I think will come out but you won't get a boat and then I chest and then you all your

items. Yeah, I think we talked about that and I said it would make sense to separate them because the minecart and Hoppers do that. But did they fix the minecart Hopper thing? They stay together. Now all of those stay together. Okay. Yeah, so that's it. It's fine then literally like, The week after we produce that. Yeah, I mean, it's not it's not bad. I just it's good early game. I guess it might be cool to see the fact is we haven't lighter and everyone's going to be

moving around with lemon. Yeah. Yeah, probably not going to use it as much as cool as they are. I'm probably not going to use it. I love. I said we were definitely not going to go over time and we have gone over time. Yeah. Well, there's like eight things that weren't on our original list that we had. This is true. I guess we can. Hurry up and get to the deep dark. Yeah, I guess. Let's count most of the skulk together. I do have the skulk block separated. But let's do that.

Before we do deep dark, pretty much all my skulk is in the great addition. The Shrieker the sensor, everything is in great addition. All of my skulk - the one block is under man. Because again, it's my game play my game play. Dow has nothing to do with that. Now, the skulk block that holds XP from the Catalyst, the Catalyst block, we're like that's game changer for me because now you can store XP. Mmm. I think that that's the highest one. You got one. It is.

And that being said, it is just barely there because in all reality, your, you've got to create this block using a farm anyways, so, Still having to travel to a farm to get XP. If you could bottle this XP, that would be different because you can just use it wherever you're at. And it's got to be player mind to like you could ignite T and T in mine. It little quicker. But if you can't pull a lever the light that TNT hmm that will

give you the XP in that sense. One thing I learned them skulks Master me. I like well, I'm a fan of the deep dark. Did we do the deep dark not yet? I think we're doing all the items in the deep dark saving. Deep dark for Less. Okay, so next would be Echo shards. Yeah, man. I yeah, I could put it in the middle man met in the middle.

Yeah, they only do one thing and that's create the recovery compass and you don't get enough of those in a single trip to the ancient city to create a recovery Compass. So it's math, right? Yep. Now the compass on the other hand, I that's cool. Man, I do like the compass to get some air to from again. This is my playstyle. It's a mare. I love the idea of it. The feature.

I think it's a very good idea and I think you a lot of people who just casually played Minecraft who are not into a lot of the technical aspects. The recovery Compass is huge, awesome thing, but for me, it just the way I play. I have no problem going and making new armor and tools and stuff. See, I do a lot of caving and stuff. So it'd be nice to have one of those if I do die, right? Exactly. Yeah, what about the disk? The new disk?

I guess we can add that with the shards, put it all together. Well, I'll see the disk. I said. Nothing was in my lower tiers. The disc is the only thing that's now down there will hurt the game. I have the disc down there. Yeah, I mean, you know, I guess you only have to hear it once. I see it as a collectible. Have it as a policeman. I mean, I always like a good disc even if it's not all that great of a tune.

I mean lately, it's hard to beat the discs that are coming out now and that's, that's its downfall for me. Mmm is that we had some great music discs come out before it. Yeah. He just absolutely great music and then we got this and it comes in pieces. So you have to put it together. Hmm. Just Make, whatever the heck that sound is. Yeah, it's not even a song. It's kind of like, I don't know. It's kind of like a mystery, you know, it's a clue. You gotta find the clues to put together.

But even even when you put the clues all together, it's still not clear. What's going on on this thing? Yeah. It sounds like one of those satanic things. You're supposed to spin backwards to get a clue to find an ancient treasure. Hmm. That doesn't work yet. Yeah. I feel like it's something to do with the portal. But yeah. Yeah, it's technically not a portal yet. Yeah. No, thanks. I'm good. But speaking of Portal 2 Port the was a portal block is on here.

Also, there's really nothing you can do with it. So I don't. Yeah, man. I don't know if we should even rank that. Yeah. It was my favorite new block looking at it. Mmm. I love the absolute texture of the iron and deep Slaton. Oh, I can't, I can't touch it. I can't pick it up, right? Teasing me like that. It's just there. Yeah, what's it called? Reinforced. Deep slate is what's called? I believe they have bad because one more thing to cover swifting Swiss sneak.

Yep, Swiss sneak is for me, great addition. Yeah, it would be higher if I could get it from somewhere else than having to travel to ancient cities, but you know what? I'm going to put it as Game Changer just because it's the only thing you can put on the leggings now. Nothing. Gets a that's a big empty. The fact that you could put it on the leggings. I would just have it as under cool because it's not really a

thing you need. It's not feather falling for it's not depth Strider 3, Unbreaking mending. It gives my pinky a break, though. You know, I don't have to sneak as long I guess. See if you use the controller, your hand wouldn't hurt as much. Yeah, I think he's specially built that Palace. Oh, yeah. Some stress lately. Yeah. So the last thing on the list is ancient cities. Yeah, I have it as Game Changer. It's the highest rank. I got man. I love you. But speechless.

Yeah, I mean that's that's not yourself. I get it, man. Well, and not even so much my style. But the loot inside of them does not warrant me going out of my playstyle to explore. Yeah. Swift sneak is a very good enchantment, but it's not me. Enoch meaning is a game changer advancement. That's UGM or a game-changing enchantment. Yeah, I think with the, it's not so much deep dark, but the ancient cities, it's just the new buildings, the new look of it, you know, having the new mob

there. I love. Love the look of it. They're gorgeous. It's a great build. I don't understand the fact that there's Redstone tutorials inside of them. I guess you can be far into my craft and still not understand. Stone to explore the ancient cities, maybe I don't know, they're just not me. I feel like that's for the Redstone tutorials like for the younger audience, but then the deep dark for the older audience, its kind of conflicting, two conflicting things there.

Yeah, I'm Gonna Learn rest on. Will you to write not an ancient city? You might see something that you might want to use the. I guess maybe I get not wanting to have people. Leave your game to find information then come back to it. But as this kind of Of how my crafts always been. Mmm. All right, before we head off any longer, think we're good, right? Yeah. Think it's all we got if we're missing anything, guys. Let us know. Yeah, and before Jimbo reads us out.
