Hey, welcome to the weathering effect. This is episode 22 and today is intent of November. I'm Bank out opal, but everyone calls me bank and I am dead your dad's versus known to the rest of the internet today. We're going to talk about some Minecraft, but first, let's all remember that bank almost screwed that intro up. Yeah, I did. I forgot to change last week sentence. What have you been up to Banks?
All right, though. Well, mostly celebrated my birthday adventure with a bigger family. You got to like spread it out. So not everyone can be there at the same day. Yeah, which is kind of nice for the rest. I don't know. I just watch Pirates of the Caribbean like the the series the whole thing with my girlfriend through the week. That's about it. Had a little bit of lace. You can say it sounds like a lazy week. Yeah, well, so it's kind of nice though.
Yeah, and what about you but if you've been up to for the most part during the week my day today, I've been reading The Witcher book. Oh, yeah, then really getting into that thing. Yeah, you told about that in stream as well. Other than that. I had my streams on Friday that I've been doing. I played around the bed. Was it chunky program for Minecraft? It's like a 3D rendering. Of your Minecraft world. Okay. I really wanted to get a 3D render of last season's base. Hmm. It didn't work.
Basically the chunks that were the island that we were on and comic craft. Yeah, black blank, whatever it was. They I mean they were far out that my turn. Oh I could get to the chunks and then the chunks right like you remember if you went South to Snow biome that was just a couple hundred blocks away.
Yeah that rendered in just fine. Okay, but basically everything we had built was all kinds of messed up and after that's yeah, I spent hours messing with it trying to get it to work and it didn't so I was a little disappointed if somebody can try to help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong and chunky I'm using the most up-to-date version. The one that says hey you can use those for Minecraft there. 13-point something plus and my worlds are in 114. So that's plus 114 of whatever
anyways, so it didn't work out. I felt like I wasted half a day, but I would love to see the program work because I think you could do some really cool stuff. And I think especially my base this season would look really cool being rendered like that. Other than that in stream, we worked on that villager trading room. I went ahead and put villagers in the village or trading room and played around with the new 114 mechanics. I like them. I like them a lot. Yeah, I like to add a new
villagers work super simple. So curious for that Inky program. I've not heard of that. I'm kind of curious but a 3D rendering of your world. That sounds sounds interesting. Huh? It looks very cool. I'll send you a link after this. Maybe we can get Carl to put a link in the show notes to for anyone else who's interested in it. But I yeah, I'm curious for it. It sounds like some little to
replay malt but different. Yes. Which yeah, that sound like chunky does the high resolution 3D renders, whatever basic kind of Google Map ish. But yeah, so I was like, oh man, that would look really cool bubble. Nope. Definitely not didn't work. That's I mean, I remember having a lot of issues with replay mild as well getting it started. It was worth all the effort and yeah, well see for the most part I was like, it's got to be me. I'm Idiot here.
I'm doing something wrong. And then after 6 hours, it was no this stupid programs. Idiot, what stupid stupid stupid and yeah, just quit, but more than likely I'm doing something wrong, but I could get other chunks to load just fine. It was just the chunks were we played 90% of the game did not work? What was it? Like a fresh will download maybe you had downloaded it before and those chunks were updated to to like newer version that might have it cost issues. Maybe maybe can't handle 114,
even though it says 113 plus. Yeah, maybe that could be it. So maybe I should just go to the website and download an old version of the map and try again without updating. That could work. Who knows? I don't know. I'll guess I'll see you at some point if it worked out and I want to try tonight. Thanks Bank. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, and if you guys hear something back on that swabby coming home, welcome home. I try to edit as much as that out of the camp. So I guess let's go on to the
news. Yeah, you you had done some research on it or well looked it up like yeah, so we had a new snapshot this week 19 W 4 85 a not a ton of stuff with it basically bees would get lost searching for hives or whatever. So they've expanded it from I think it was like five blocks and out ten blocks and if a hive gets destroyed they can go find a new Hive just I didn't know too much about be so I always like to sort of keep it fresh for for when they actual dates
there. So I didn't know about yeah them getting lost and stuff, but sure I didn't either. Also, it's like you share a hive or whatever. You collect honey, whether it be the bottles or shearing it or whatever the bees used to come out all Angry like an attack you now they don't I think it's from Exuma is video. That sounds nice the other updates that came with this were composters. The crafting recipe has changed. So it matches the Bedrock version so you can craft it with
wooden slabs now. Okay, I think before it was blanks and then one wooden slab. Yeah. Yeah. I like that makes it more simple. I do too. There was some change textures and that has so basically the rendering engine still a work in progress. So a lot of stuffs getting fixed, right? Yeah, that makes sense. But other than that, it was
still a small simple update. There is a bunch of like little bugs, but I didn't feel it was worth us to go through a list of like 40-something bugs that got fixed just to say Such and such fix such fixed if you guys are curious like the notes for the snapshots are on Minecraft main website. So this sounds like they're getting close because the snap Shields don't do that much lately anymore. It's well, they made mention during Minecon that 115 was going to be out by end of year. Exactly.
I think they'll I mean it sounds like they might be getting them. I'm really curious to see how this new rendering engine works. I'm wondering if it's going to still be CPU heavy compared to other games that require a lot out of you GPU and less out of your CPU. I just hope the game runs better. I do too. It would be really nice not to depend on not be fine. But we all know we're still going to use it just for the
zoom key. I mean any any increase is nice right if you just Even at like my game kind of runs fine, but I'd like to have that like bigger viewing distance and I kind of noticed like it'll get easier that would be when I was dreaming I had frame drops all the way to the 60s for some reason. Yeah. I remember that I had the same issue wasn't sure about that. I thought it was because I was streaming because I was screaming and playing the game from the same PC.
But if you were still having that problem too, and I don't know what's going on. I mean, I didn't notice it until I looked at the frame so it wasn't really anything visible than I did notice my frame short lowered. I'm normally yeah. But yeah, that's it for the Minecraft news. Shall we move on? Yeah, we have a disk or it's a great place to hang out with fellow weathering effect numbers talk about the episodes and we sometimes I'll questions to what you guys think for a new topic.
Yeah. It's just a great way to get in contact with us and other people join. The discs are links in the show notes. Yeah talking about a comments from people who listen we have an email from frankly. This is about last episode where we talked about an update to the end. Yeah, I remember that good job. It was a less than we could exactly. Okay.
So their email stage. Imagine if you will a void squid, I'm liking this so far a bioluminescent like the deep sea fish that Globe squid that swims quotation marks here because it is the void Swims through the void like an Overworld squid swim through the ocean slightly larger, but still a passive mob that drops bioluminescent ink sacs that can be used to die die. I mean, that's a great idea.
We'll hang on there's more to the comment, but the way Carl put it in here to put everything in the Box. Okay, I mean so far. I'm really like yeah. Okay. Let me catch up to it. So it would die diable blocks. Okay, I'm good with that to give off a faint glow. So I guess you could create light blocks out of stuff. That's not light blocks. So like it could be considered a light block that could be cool.
Maybe a light level of for a 5 so it wouldn't be enough to stop mobs spawning, but it would be enough to give. Give cool-looking light effect. Yeah, that would be awesome to create like ambiances and stuff. He mentions it would be another thing to farm in the end. I realized but it would also be a cool Ambiance and light source with a bit of diversity to it. Really enjoy getting withered you guys. Thanks for the great content Frank the squirrel.
Thank you for your comment. I agree with the bioluminescent squid. I uh, I really like the like squid scrumming swimming through this guy. Even if you just picture it that sounds amazing, even if it didn't drop any kind of useful drops, like he's our they're saying for light blocks or anything like that. Even if it was just a mob that just swam around in the void that glowed. Yeah, it's cool. It's another reason to visit the end. Yeah, that would make it a I don't know.
I think that would look really yeah. I dig it. Maybe maybe it could buy some job that you Could use to put on a beacon that would have the beacon effect work but not put that stupid ugly laser beam all the way up through the sky. Oh, yeah like yeah, that would be nice. I don't always like the be don't either but even if we use that to make kind of a accent lighting blocks, I'd be cool with it.
Mmm. I like I like the just creating an Ambien. Uh, yeah, I do that with redstone torches every once in a while. Oh, yeah, they do. I've never tried it with redstone torches. So she tried good well in your favor Tinder chest. They also put out little light levels to that's true. But they sing and I'm going to test this. I don't know. It's not the prettiest. Look it's really not there isn't much everywhere. I usually hide it under carpets. Oh, that's that's actually a pretty good idea.
But I had turned my particles down so you can't see it under the carpet either. Oh, yeah, I do have to mow moles, which might I don't know. I should I'll try and think of those things a little bit more. I haven't thought of that too much. Yeah nice. My nose is like decided to run as soon as we started recording. So I'm going to hopefully cut all these sniffles you hear out. If not, I'm sorry, and I'm just going to blame Carl.
I mean, it's wintertime. Those things are gonna happen will see I went and I played football today. So I was outside for like two three hours a day. Nice. Yeah, I mean it'll it'll get you a runny nose, I guess a little bit but that was hours ago. I shouldn't have a runny nose. I guess that also means that you're like fully healed with the I don't know what the missiles gold again loot. Yes, I am fully healed a funny story. So along with Terra my glue.
I ended up pulling my right groin that heal faster than the glute but yesterday are not yesterday. But Friday at work. I was moving a bunch of inventory around and I had to pull something off the bottom shelf to lift it up and carry it to weigh it. And when I lifted it up and turned my left groin went pop and I went sort of a really bad word really loud.
I think that's Justified. Yeah, so that was for the rest of their but luckily I didn't take all my pain medications because I'm not a fan of pain medications. So I had a lot of it left over and basically Friday night when it Heal on its own Saturday. I took some meds and I woke up to a hundred percent fine. So yay sweet. So let's stop ranting about my crotch area because that seems to be a Hot Topic lately. I mean you got an accident or well Noble action and put an injury.
Yeah, we talked about it. Yeah. Should we move on to the real topic of discussion instead of my Groin, I think that's that's a better idea that so for this week, we decided a lot of weeks we end up trying to improve this game or bash it for dumb ideas, but it really is a game. We love like thank you. I mean you can easily say Minecraft's your favorite game, right? Yeah same here. It's a game. We love the most so today instead of bashing it.
We're trying to improve it. We're going to do a top 10 list. Of things we love about Minecraft, right? I think yeah, I was going to say I think you did them in order for me. It's I don't know. I don't think I could number them. Okay, so my top ten list is in order to make it good, right? Yeah. So are my top ten list isn't order Banks is just banked pretty much so I'll read mine off in order and then you tell me which if you have one that matches close to it or what you had.
And that point good. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Right? So for my number 10 I said you could play the game your way. So if you like to play a survival, you can play a survival if you like to build but you weren't so much into you know, getting blown up by creepers. You can play Creative Mode. Maybe you don't like to build but you like to kind of PVP or physics figure out puzzles. So you got adventure mode and those custom maps stuff like that. Minecraft can be played in so
many different. Ways it doesn't matter what you like and don't like you're going to have something to play when you play Minecraft. Yeah, that's that's pretty close to what I will say what I at that there's there's a lot of like diversity in the game. There's so many different communities. She got technical communities to minigame communities and our key map maker. She got people like us who just play Survivor.
There's so many different communities and I think that's awesome that there's a fit for everyone. But exactly I hundred agree with that. I mean when I first started playing this I was basically a creative mode only player. And then I got into the survival game by kind of being forced into it now. I can't really play any other way. Oh nice II started in survival, but I occasionally played like mini games and stuff and I enjoy doing that. I think that's cool. Yeah, let's go to number 9 the
challenge of the black shape. Everything's a block which means you have to be creative when designing a circle and know how to count as Bank in a test. I can't count circles to save my life in Minecraft, but I love to build in circles because of the challenge of the square. Yeah, the challenge of making a circle look nice in the game is its kind of awesome. It's a good feeling when it works out. Yeah, so the challenge of Designing something.
I mean with an architecture degree background is like, how can I make this block look good? That's not a block. So I really enjoy that so I haven't done as number 9 on my list. Again, that was a close one to what I at. I mean, I like the fact that
it's a block game. You can make so many things just out of a block and then the challenge like you said like making a shape out of that block, but also it gives sort of evens the playing field between people are like for example, really good painters or people who can't draw obviously Minecraft is different, but it sort of evens out the playing field for the good one. Between the bat one, huh?
Well, it's which I think is awesome until you get to the certain guys on my credit who do the crazy like Angel sculptures out of like the black there are a couple of more like Beyond. Yeah get those guys tested. That's insane. Yeah, but just a the fact that you can do so much with the blocks. It's I don't know. It's awesome. It really is so number eight.
I put customized skins because it's something you And doing a lot of games is to create somebody who is a fit for you you go. Hey, this is me in this game. Like hmm. I personally am visualizing this guy when I play the game and stuff like that.
Most of you got to play at somebody else or something some other game developer created like you have to choose hairstyles that was created by some guy behind a desk facial structures and stuff like that and Minecraft you can just go to the internet and Paint yourself on this 3D model. Anyway you want and it's awesome. I mean those people who made like Stone skins right said he could hide it from the first hand upside down skins and I like the fact that you can do that.
Yeah. Yeah. I think it's really cool more games should definitely bring that to the plate as common courtesy as I'm going to say probably not the best phrase where I could see how it would be It can see how it would be hard for like other games obviously like because it's low-key and low resolution Minecraft as a great option very true for it. But I mean you look at high tail, which is coming out even they don't have a custom skin generator.
You still have to pick I mean there are thousands of options on their things, but you still have to pick pre-made model pieces to use. Yeah. Yeah, I agree Minecraft Stephanie unique in that, huh? Number seven freedom and building styles. So when you go to the creative side and you go to the survival side the fact that you as long as you think it you can basically make it you can go modern and do a very clean Sleek
build. You can do castles you can do the giant 3D angle Angels structures that we see but yeah, the fact that it nothing is off limits. You can build anything. Long as you can imagine in your head and I really like that. I mean for some for some things that's really hard to do. But I mean it can be done and I agree. That's a really cool thing about Minecraft. Yeah. Now this is where we start to differentiate I think. Mmm, well the last one already. Did you want me to like with my
yeah, go ahead. All right for number eight. I had a different one for me. It was it was a not necessarily something in the game. But I like that Minecraft told me to chill down and then I guess I was always like really efficient in games like just pretty much straight to the point. Yeah, and there's no in Minecraft. There's no point doing.
That and and now I'm like when I'm building, I'm just like I'm building this for building sake which I would have no verbal and I really like that Minecraft sort of guide me into that. I agree 100% because I used to be basically all about sports games and first-person shooters. So there is a huge Competitive Edge and constant like yelling at the monitors and Minecraft. There's no point. It's just yeah, there's no goal to work through really except for the goals.
You set for yourself. It's basically fulfill your imagination. That's the goal of mine yet. Yeah, that's what I really like about about the game. What about your number? Seven? What do you have for that? I like that Minecraft managed to sort of create an infinite Randomness. Yeah for worlds like the seats the amount of seats. You can get are pretty much infinite. Like there's no one person that can go through all of them. And then in those seeds the worlds are so huge.
There's so much that can be generated and things that you can do. Discover I think that's awesome. I agree. I mean there are websites dedicated just to Minecraft seeds. Yeah, and there's I mean like pretty much when you can think of it. It's going to be in a seat somewhere right because there's so many seeds. Let's move on to number six for me. And this one kind of goes with number 10.
I said games within the game and I guess a lot of people would immediately think well the minigames like Bed Wars and uh see and stuff like that and you'd be right but also things like if you're watching hermitcraft this season you had greens tag game and now they're hot potato game. I mean, these are just stupid little games that you can do
with relatively nothing. I mean, they used a name tag in a poisonous potato to things that are relatively unused most of the game, especially the poisonous potato and they created their own little mini game within the game to play while they're building a stuff. I think that kind of creativity is awesome and it's all about Minecraft blending inspiration to do something like that. Yeah, yeah, I agree that that's a you found out nicely. It's really subtle like type of
minigames. It's more like social with Direction. It's almost a thing to encounter in like it's student home. So I guess like were a couple of like college kids lifting. Yeah, and they would play those kinds of games. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I like that. What's your number 6? My number six I like that. There's a lot of different ways how you can transport yourself. Hmm.
You can fly with the lighter you can use boats and then you can use boats on Ice. If you build the road for it, you can use our horse and a donkey you can even write a big and then all these Transportation options like they all have heat own like pros and cons. Yeah. I think that's really cool that they offer that that much variation and just simple getting yourself from A to B. Mmm.
I agree and not to go off on a tangent like we normally do but I read somewhere that you can use buttons like ice with boats now. Rinse instead of putting. Oh, that's so yeah. So instead of putting ice down you can put buttons down and glide across them like they're ice. Now again, I mean that's obviously cheaper this this was from a Reddit post. So, I don't know if it's actually true, but that's cool.
I mean, I guess you've recently saw that this week if it's true for the use will be popping up soon. I guess on YouTube. Well, I kind of had the feeling now that I remembered this that I'm going to jump on the server afterwards plays a bunch of buttons down to see if it works. Oh, yeah, that's I mean it sounds easy to dry out. Was it really just just fun? It's just okay. I don't know if they had ice feels up to the buttons.
And it just kind of continue the momentum, but it was just it was buttons on another rack from the video clip. I saw okay. I mean it will be awesome. I shall we get back to ya so do the topic so my number five is mueang makes her own game and doesn't follow Trends and by this. I mean the big thing that's going around right now and Trends a video game is the Battle Royale Minecraft started the Battle Royale with uh season stuff. Yeah, that's actually kind of
true. Yeah, I mean granted there were Battle Royal gave us before Minecraft you ACS, but that's the first extremely popular one. I can remember and then it kind of went dormant and then they had all these other battle royales and they're like, well fortnight's the grandfather battle rails. It's like no Minecraft was doing it way before and to me way better. Well, yeah those were just kinda again like the games would in the game, right? Which is and then yeah Mojang.
This one is once read and they go better you look at the micro transaction and loop box Trend that's happening at My Graph doesn't have that. I mean there are mods that have it but that's not mowing learnings not doing that kind of sets are not trying to implement tons of stuff like that. So granted I think in the all the windows Edition and stuff. Yeah you have Things you can buy there is a sin to were there.
But to me, I think most of that stuff is like third-party create stuff like me and you would create stuff to put on the store or whatever. I don't think it's actually million doing most of it. But I again, I can't speak much for the Bedrock and Windows 10 version. Most of our stuff comes from java because that's the version me and Bank play. So remember that before you go will judge is an idiot. He doesn't know about the
Windows 10 store. It's like yeah I do, but I don't really Think of it because we play Java. So most of everything we do is from the Java point of view, so don't bash me. I think I think people should be fine with it. I what about you? What was your number five? Yeah, let's go to say I did different points for number 5 again. I really like the villagers. Uh-huh.
There are the devil also mechanic there like shops, but you can also make them work and then they sort of especially now since that update they sort of live in their Village and do all kinds of things. I think that's awesome. You don't see that often in games with like sandbox.
Yeah, so Years I had on my list. So when I made this list, I had like 20 items on the list and then I just chose 10 that I thought were the best villagers were on the original list, but I hadn't at the time played with the much since the update will basically all day today. I've played with villagers and I agree. The 114 villagers are such a huge Improvement. I love it. Yeah, there they make the game. They add such an excellent
Dynamic feature to it though. I would say Tango Tex villager mod Mmm, that's really cool too and I wouldn't be upset if marrying said hey Tango, can we still some code and use it in the game? Because you know seeing a villager walk around chopping down trees or guarding an area would be really cool. Yeah, that would make it even better. But the way they are now, I agree a hundred percent. I really like the 114 villagers.
I mean, even though old ones I like that system like yeah the basic of it right there soaps you can make them do some work. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Though the wheat farming I don't pay the but yeah as I mean, I got a wheat farm now, but I haven't really figured out how to easily do it till I mean villagers do not need that much bread. That's all I'm going to say. That's a lot of carbs. Why are these villagers not so fat? It's Minecraft. Yeah, I mean if you can lift so much goals.
You couldn't do that in real life. Don't tell me what I can't do Bank pull another groin muscle if I have to. Okay enough about going back to number 4. You can customize everything you can Custer eyes. Yeah. Terrain the textures the crafting recipes your skin going back to number eight everything you see in the game. You can change to make it your own and that is super awesome. Well, and it seems like they're working through other words
making that easier as well. Like what was it won't be 1812 I'm saying carefully they'd added Like Glue tables, right? Yeah, which made it so much easier to customize how what dropped from open all that. I think changing mobs is getting easier with the data packs and all that. You can do a lot of cool stuff. Yeah. It really is a game where you can completely personalize the
game. The only thing I will say is that I think terrain customizations taken a step back with these last updates because remember You set down for hours coming up with code to do a custom train for our common craft world. Well, you have two sliders and stuff. Right?
And then yeah, I remember that that yeah, they did take a little step back and Implement that bag and I will be a hundred percent okay with it. I seem to remember you you mentioned once that they were working on that they were they just took it out for a little bit while they were working on it or something. I want to say. I remember reading that it was supposed to be back for 113 like
one of the later 113 updates and then I got like push. under the rug and nobody's talked about it since and now we have these biome updates that aren't getting update for like two years. So I kind of think the custom terrain generation things going to get pushed back even further now. I mean, maybe they're running through some issues and just are working it out in the background and they were like, well, we still gotta continue of grading
the game. Yeah. I mean, it sounds like a tricky thing getting the terrain generation down. What about you? What's your number four? I like to I mean they got some Different crafting systems, I guess you got crafting brewing and enchanting and I like how they made it all their own system. Like if you take a look at Skyrim, for example, like the the brewing and the enchanting and the crafting it's all kind of the same thing.
You just select some items in the menu and then click OK and here it it really is star own sort of system, which I really like. I like that to put the effort into that I agree because it lends It's really well to my top three things, but I won't skip ahead yet.
But yeah the fact that you have a bruised and you have to use and you have all these different Farms to get supplies for just brewing you create forums for enchanting like the Enderman farm and blaze farm and stuff Grinders like that is their own little thing in crafting itself. There's so many different ways to craft except I think now with the craft Book I didn't like the crafting book when I saw it and I almost put it in the list
here. Well, I'll get so we had the crafting book when I started on PS4. That's where I started to play Minecraft and then I came to Java. Okay, and it didn't have the crafting book which made me extremely mad because I was constantly on craft a pedia or whatever.
The Minecraft Wiki is looking up recipes and stuff and I I hated it and then a year later, I'm knowing recipes off the top of my head like it's nothing and you'd always get the people on the server like hey, what's the recipe for this and you say so it would give yourself some communication to the other people which I really like that. So I went from hating not having the crafting book to loving the fact that it wasn't there. And then now that we have the crafting book back.
I love / hate it. As one I can flip through recipes like it's nothing I can make blocks fast. And that is great when you're doing like iron blocks and stuff like that making fences and stuff. The downfall is I don't remember recipes to save my life. Now the other day I went what is in a comparator. It's like many comparators all the time. Why can't I remember what's in a comparator?
See? I really like the grafting book because You got all the recipes like you don't have to really remember them all so it's sort of it's a list of what blocks you can have in the game. Yeah, that that helps me during building. It's just a great way to get some inspiration. You open the crafting book just scroll through blocks and just look at the books.
But I really like the point you made like before you would know the recipes and if we create like jet on the server like Hey, how do you make this and you get something to answer? Yeah, and they sort of Remove that by getting the crafting book. I didn't notice it because for me I just started. I always played on the PC always Java. So I never I just went from having no crafting book to having one which was amazing dog
or not. I think the good of the crafting book definitely outweighs the bad. I don't want to put down the craft book at all. If if they were to take it away today. I've like million why Yeah, it's a convenient really is. Okay. So we're on number three now, right? Yeah. My number three was redstone. All the stuff I mean obviously I know people would put Redstone a lot higher on their list, but I think I've got two good things above it.
But Redstone is what keeps me playing this game building I can get very bored at creating a new far more Automated machine. I can never get bored with that in Minecraft. It's to the point now where I watch a tutorial on a farm and if the farm, isn't that Complicated I'm trying to build my own and that's what happened with my XP machine.
I think it's spent three episodes working on that thing plus several live streams because I didn't really look up a tutorial on how to build it. I just said, okay, I want to use bamboo and I want to use Cactus. I did a little bit of quick math. I said, okay, this is how much I
need for each way off. I can't count so Yeah Redstone in general the thousands of years that I saw mumbo-jumbo build a house that walked like a spider this week what I know what the amount of stupid stuff you can do with red stones amazing and I love it. I mean, I'm fully agree with you that when I first started playing Minecraft and or when I first realized I started I played it for a while already. Um, I was like, yeah, it's Redstone. Like there's so many survival games out there.
I've played so many of them as well and they all they were they couldn't keep me playing it right and and Minecraft has Redstone, which there's almost an infinite amount of options in it. Like it's red. Stone itself is quite old already. Like it's what six years old. Maybe I'm not sure. And they're still discovering to yeah, like it's ridiculous.
The last major red. So component they added to the game was The Observer and it's not a wants a huge advancement to Redstone. It's a very good Advance our interests own, but for the most part of the last couple years Redstone has stayed the same and they're still figuring out ways to push Redstone limits. And then they added honey blocks broke Redstone again, which is again like a whole new set of things that are gonna it's not even Redstone Redstone.
It's a honey Block. It's sort of it and it yeah, I know right Frank's Redstone. I shouldn't say break redstone. It is the next evolutionary step in Redstone. Well, that's another thing I thought of but I hadn't put it on the list, but I'm just going to mention it. No for it. I mean it's sort of links to it.
But the fact that you got things like slime blocks and how many blocks that affect Redstone mechanics and the factor of those like little I didn't know I would almost say unexpected things that happen in the game that I don't think even like Mojang anticipated would happen. I think but powered stuff that that's Redstone specifically it happened. There's a lot of we are things you can do with books Yeah. Well, yeah the Simon dimension of deeper into it.
You have the lectern which is not a redstone block. But yeah Redstone you have a cauldron that's not a redstone block but works Redstone you have glazed terracotta that is affected by slime blocks differently. The other blocks same with obsidian and furnaces Waldorf water. I mean, I mean lava when you put lava and water with the Observer, does that still do the
random tick? I can't remember if they got rid of that or not, but for a while yet, you have an observer watching lava and water and you get a random tick go off. So I mean, these are non Redstone items that are pushing the evolutionary step of redstone and at the same time, they're not adding Redstone to the game. Yeah, exactly. I mean that yeah, they're still discovering new things like the more time. They get the more they'll discover.
Yeah. And it doesn't seem to be an end to it. Now. It really doesn't so I mean the day they come out with like blue stone. I mean heads will explode it was it was a it was a good joke, but I still love to see it happen. I'm the same way both. My monitors just decided to shut off for some reason. Oh, did they go? They just melt your PC do in a while and it went is basically I forgot to move my mouse everyone.
While all right. All right, but I see your number three and I think the way you you have to say it exactly how you wrote it because it's hilarious. Yeah, I like that look test. Why do you like it your chest Bank? I mean, I'm not really sure how to put it into words but there's sort of well, you said it it's they're sort of a safe which I think is one of the best words to describe it but you got like a personal safe which you can easily move around, huh? It's such a convenient thing and
it's unlike anything. I've really seen I think well in some games you have a chest that sort of one chest and you can open it up places, but I yeah. I didn't know that little chest are great. I agree. I didn't really think about inner chest when doing my top ten list. If I did they probably would have made top 10, but the Ender Chest they they change the game really, especially when you combine them with choker boxes.
Yeah, I mean even without yoga books just download test was still a great like the game will be so much harder a lot harder but things could get so much more tedious. If you wouldn't have that. I agree a hundred percent. I'm saying that a lot this episode. So if you guys are getting annoyed with me saying that just like the shut up, they'll start making like me. It's just my skin holding up like a fist to says hundred percent. A hundred percent.
What is it instead of omni seal of approval? It's on percent approved by Duds. I wouldn't talk the about this to my Chico's real things are gonna go probably. All right. So should we move on to the next item? I think that's a good idea. So my number 2 item was the multiplayer experience doesn't matter.
What game would you? Playing on it's just the fact that you're going to be playing with a friend and I say that because I probably have more friends on Minecraft than I do in real life just from this one game and that's not saying I have no friends in real life. It's just as bad as that really sounds it's just that I have time to play Minecraft more so than like I've got friends who have families and they're
constantly busy. So I only see them one to two times a month really if I'm lucky. But bank I hang out with you like four times a week on the game. Yeah, so I mean stuff like that's crazy. You're teaching me Dutch for heaven's sakes because of Minecraft, right? Hey, it's for London. I mean that I've asked you like
electronic stuff as well. Like hey, I just yeah, I mean, yeah, you don't get that with a lot of other games if I'm playing Battlefield. I'm not learning Dutch playing Battlefield unless it's how do I say? I'm going to blow your Your head off and Dutch. I mean you just don't get it. You ain't got the time for that Minecraft is such a chill game. You're just hanging out and talking and building. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. It's I mean we're doing this because of that we really are.
I mean, I think I said it as a joke of I'm going to do a Minecraft podcast and then I kept getting bugged. But hey when you starting the podcast and it's like okay when I come up with the name and sure enough me and Yeah, and then we started thinking of and I mean you are on stream and the name of the withering effect came out. I had to take wall crap. I guess we haven't broadcast to start recording and every record once and here we are 12 stuff at 22 weeks later. I know right?
That's nearly all for you. You guys are crazy for listening to us this long. Well, I mean, it's awesome that they do. Yeah, but still crazy. This is where hundred percent proof, but Duds comes out. Okay. So what's your number two? I really like that Minecraft does a lot of like small gimmicky things that I kind. Okay, useless in a way like the chorus plant when you eat it it teleports you a little bit that the parrots imitating sounds you got fireworks.
You got music discs like there's just why are they there? There's just no reason besides just to have a little fun. Oh, which I think is also we talked about this last episode the parrots not doing certain sounds anymore. Yeah, finally saw why they don't do it. Oh so not doing a polar bear and Enderman or Pigman is because those are neutral mobs. They're no longer going to do neutral mob sounds Which doesn't make sense to me at all?
Because they still do like wolf sounds and cats and stuff like that. Those are friendly mobs. I would assume it's like I don't get it. But so I guess they will still do sheep and cows as well. That's what I'm assuming but it's because they're neutral mobs which again I don't understanding get but that was the reasoning behind it because I remember saying if anyone knows the reason tell me and then I saw it on exhume his video, so I figured I'd bring it up in the pot.
Past I'm not fully understanding why they do it. But yeah anyways back to your stuff. Yeah chorus plants teleporting around is Goofy and could be fun. Yeah. It's just the fact that they put effort into doing those kinds of things that I like them. I kind of want to build a mini game around eating course plans now, Who you could do imagine amazed that the only way you can get around in is by eating the
chorus playing teleporting. I once I could be used to correspond useful that girl's gonna do work better. But if you're on a high Edge like with a steep cliff and you stand like your hover over like the when you when you're almost hovering in the sky when you just press shift and you walk all the way. Yeah Edge and then either course fruit. You have a chance you get teleported all the way to the bottom. So it's a way to like travel safely down a large drop.
Basically, I would say that it's good for like, uh see stuff but I don't think anyone goes the end. Don't you HCS so I think they have some but yeah, that doesn't sound like a smart idea. No, especially if you have to fight the dragon as soon as you get to the end. Yeah. No, it's nothing really to get. Yeah, but I mean, I know pearls I guess yeah the gimmicky stuff kind of really cool. I'm trying to think of anything else that could be like that writing a big.
Yeah, I said before that. You got a lot of Transportation options and that they're all sort of cool. But I mean a big big sis gimmicky and the fact that you have a what is it rolled with a camera well and you get that achievement When Pigs Fly yeah, so is that still I don't know if it is actually change that sounds means they might have frowned on the making a pig walk off a cliff thing. Oh, yeah, I mean it makes sense animal cruelty and safe. Yeah, but I think our number ones lineup.
Yeah, they do a little bit Yeah, they kinda line. So my number one was constant updates for free meaning One Day by the game. You have the game whenever million puts out anything for the game. You have that update. You don't have to constantly pay five dollars here $20 there or like some of these games got to the point where you're paying $60 for the game and it's three months later $60 for an update and then three months after
that. $60 for another update you have the game that's like monthly subscription Lee subscriptions. It's like once you buy the game you're in for life. And that's also I don't believe that like like you said like a lot of games like a new game usually around sixty sixty dollars and Euros in those prices are similar. I don't know about other currencies, but I mean, why would ya what Minecraft is like 20 25 It's relatively cheap game
as well. Oh, yeah, I mean that's why I have multiple Minecraft accounts. It's because it's such a cheap game and I don't have to worry about buying another copy couple months down the road Mmm Yeah Yeah, like you said they just keep bringing out stuff. They constantly update it you get new stuff and it's all it's all for free. They just keep developing. I mean you look at 113 and 114 by themselves. Those were huge updates to this game granted both of them pretty
much broke. Game for the first two months of coming out when they updated. But yeah, but if I mean going to a coral reef in an ocean biome nowadays, I still my jaw drops. It's so pretty. Yeah, I just like being on the boat and going over the ocean all together, but it really gets fun when you get to a goal reef and it was a free update. You don't get that other other places. I want to say Fallout 76 was charging you like 20. Dollars to change the color of your armor to like blue.
It's like $20 to change something to Blue. Really. I know that's one reason. I quit playing Destiny. I loved Destiny. It was finally a cool game. That was a shooter that you didn't extremely focus on PVP all the time. So you get with a bunch of friends and goes do random shoot em ups with monsters and stuff like that, but you want Change the color of that armor 599 what know like if it's in the game, it should be in the game. I shouldn't have to buy more.
I mean, I feel the same with all these DLC that you usually have to buy and stuff. So I just make an update. It's an update for the game. Give it well the only DLC that I always would buy on a consistent basis was the battlefield DLC and that's because I knew that game only came out once every
two years. So if you were to buy the DLC that DLC was guaranteeing you content for two years and I saw it as I paid $60 for basically one year of content and then another $60 for a second year of content and I was okay with it. That's how I Justified. It course Battlefield 5 this last one there. You paid nothing for the DLC anymore. So $60 gives you 2 years of DLC content. The only problem is I don't like the game so That's a bit for that one time.
I am sick and tired of historical Warfare. I don't know why they chose World War II after doing World War one because that basically means four straight years of historical War. I'm curious with the ever go like maybe evil. I kind of doubt it Roman Empire of times and stem also really hoping they don't go futuristic. I don't think futuristic warfare's any fun. Well, they did the Star Wars one. Yeah that sucked too. Oh, I are people being quite
positive. I'd never play it by the first Battlefront was an okay one and granted there were battlefronts before dice the creator of Battlefield took over and the first one was good. It was just lacking some content and then they came up with the second one that was supposed to be more in-depth and everything like that and it was but it was put behind pay walls. And supposedly this wasn't dices
call. This was EA being EA saying hey pay us a ton of money for this game and it got a ton of backlash got thrown through the wringer to the point where basically said, yeah, they said, okay, we're washing our hands of this. We're giving the game fully two dice. Let them do what they do and since then dice has really changed it and turned it around and it's supposedly a top-rated game now, but I'm one of those my trust was broken so I won't go back.
I can play it. I get the official even though I loved I said I love the battlefield series, but even Battlefield 5, I think I played for about a month and went no it just put it away. I didn't even pay attention to build a field five anymore. I didn't realize it exists it. Yeah, Battlefield 6 hurry up and get here so I get back to shooting people. But yeah, it's considering we kind of stopped talking about my crops. Shall we? Yeah, and the show that's where
