Hey everyone. Welcome to the weathering effect episode 48. Today's date is June a 2020 and I am Duds are duds versus known to the rest of the interwebs and I'm Jimbo, you may know me as Jimbo slice, 23. So, how's your week been so far Duds? Absolutely crummy. Oh, that's it. Betty, you weren't expecting that were, you know, I didn't expect that at all. I'll start with a little bit of
non Minecraft you stuff. So, I've kind of mentioned it and the I think patreon post show last week, my phone's absolute garbage right now. The battery I have to charge it about three times a day and make it through the day and the screen randomly turns off, whenever I'm looking at it. Hmm. So awesome. My plan has been to kind of wait till July. Because usually, in America, there's some sales for stuff, usually, expensive stuff like cell phones.
So I'm like, just hold out to the July 4th, you're like a month away and then you can try to get yourself a new phone. So I was like, you know what, I'm going to buy one of those battery pack, charger cover things for my phone, I had one before it ended up dying because it's constantly being used. So, I just never used another one. I was like, you know what? I like that one before. I'll get one with a bigger battery. Every this time though and it'll hold me out till July wearing
can get a new phone. Hmm. So I ordered one from Amazon, I ordered the bigger battery that was going to be the here next day. Well yeah, they didn't ship it till next day and it's not like one of those I waited till 9 p.m. to order the case. So obviously just got pushed to the next day. It was I ordered it a 7 a.m. and for some reason they still didn't bother shipping it all day but I was like whatever. Most of us two day shipping Amazon.
No big deal. So it finally comes on Thursday, I open it up. Rip the plastic off, open the box up, go to put it on my phone, notice that the cover is about the size of a small tablet.
What the heck? I look at the box and it's for like a Google+. Something that's like what the heck happened here and then I look at all the plastic wrapper the label they put on a plastic wrap rapper says Samsung S 8 I was like no because so what they did, they shrink wrap the box and then put their own label over the Box label. Huh? Amazon Amazon to this know if I think it was the cellar. Okay, I don't want to blame Amazon for this. I think it's seller so doesn't
work with your phone. Yes, Cellar. Hey, you sent me the wrong one. You've got a Miss label packaging, you might want to check that. Can I get another one? And it was like, yeah, sure, here's your refund. Send us the other one back or not a refund. Here's your new one. It'll be here next day shipping like? Okay, awesome, well, they can waited a day to ship it. So it's really two day. Shipping one day to wait and the
next day shipping. So, I get it on Saturday, open it up. Look at the plastic label, Galaxy S8. Okay, good. Take the plastic label off. Samsung j7 blah, blah, blah. I go. Okay, well, my phone to Samsung, maybe this is just Chinese wording for Your Galaxy S8 open the box up, and it's again for some kind of giant plus phone. That does not fit my phone. Geez, like, even the camera holes don't line up what the heck. And I'm just like, what is going on?
Well, they are not friendly conversation. Ensued with me, trying to get my refund back because at this point, I'm not asking for another case because they can't send me the correct case. Amazon stepped in. Finally, I'm getting my refund but I'm not going to My refund until they receive the two cases they sent me and I'm just like, fine whatever. So at this point, I'm not getting any case, I'm just holding out for July and that's it. That's phone wise.
What I've been through this week, which is a bit of an annoying. Yeah, but Amazon had my back so I'm not going to talk bad about them, but I don't that when it comes to actual Minecraft in my own Survival, I spent a lot of time and that spider grinder one day and like, I want to say I spent half a day just Just in there watching Star Wars and smacking spiders. And I tell you what, if you can get a bane of arthropods sword and looting and was sweeping Edge, that's it. G is the words.
It's actually a decent Farm. I've got an iron sword with mending fooding sweeping Edge. And I'm like one hitting a ton of spiders. I'm just like, you know what? This farm that I said was Actually horrible, it's pretty good. It not going to complain what level of the Bane of Arthropods you got on it like the top Bane of Arthropods five. I think it's just four.
Maybe five. I have to look I had to combine two swords to make it Vienna. I don't think you need five really to put a critical hit on them. I'm not sure. But I definitely want. It's good to know as much as I'm going to regret saying this as much as I hate. Bane of Arthropods. I really want a couple more of a champ. Pants like, that, that maybe mob specific to weapons, either could be something to bring up later on, maybe on a different
show. You know, some enchantments to improve new enchantments, wouldn't be bad, but I've done some piddling around in my own Survival, not a crazy amount for an episode. But yeah part of the way to the episode, I'm hitting a couple of snags because I don't want to start a really large project with pre-release one and two coming out. I still want to be making content, so I'm trying to find a happy medium. So it's basically a lot of little things that are
happening. Next episode, instead of a, this is what I'm building. So, focus on the build style thing. But what about you have about your week? My, I didn't have a bad week unlike yours, you know? It's, it's been okay. I do want to announce. I, my wife has picked a dog named nice. Now, I asked, I asked, I think it was two weeks ago. I asked the server. Were to give me some dog names and my wife would look at them and see what you liked, and she was, shut them down, left and
right. They threw Matic at us and she was just shut them down. She like, any the names really that people were giving her a couple here and there, but she found some name. She really liked it. We had a vote and the name that one is Toby nice. So we're going to name our golden retriever boy. Toby, I really Get name. I did too. That's the one I've waited for. Yeah, I like Simon actually.
I don't know why I like Simon. I told her that name and she liked it and that's why we put on the vote. But yeah, I do like to be too. And I'm an odd root of fans. I'll probably called Obito just for just for fun. But yeah, I am going to have pictures up. We're going to get him Wednesday evening, so stay tuned for some puppy pictures. Some adorable, puppy, pictures Wednesday. Nice.
Nice. But besides the puppy and the name, I did play some Minecraft and I've been playing the single player world for a week or so on and off. And I wanted to stop playing if I died and I died. Deep deep in the Nether. And one thing I want to point out, I, I was all over this nether, it's another update. I wanted to be in the nether to explore it, and I know you're saving that for the season 2. Really, you know, get your
thoughts opinions out then. But yeah, I wanted to check it out and just to see what it was like, and I did not find a fortress. I was in there for hours, I did not find a nether fortress one time. No, nether fortress. I found six bastions and the one Bastion that I found really, really deep it. It had piglets all through it or haugland zahl through it and this was another waste biome. This wasn't a crimson binome. Home where they spawn which I didn't know they could do that.
I don't know if that was a bug. It was before the pre-release I did this, maybe it was fixed. I didn't see it on a bug tracker, anything. But yeah, there's there could be haugland 's in these bastions. Just letting you guys know because I had that issue. Well, that's supposed to be their home in the bastions, the hog lines. Not the Penguins, the hog lens. Okay. Never mind. I didn't realize you were saying Hagen and I thought you were saying Penguins for some Reason.
Yeah, well, I said, penguins at first, but yeah, this was the hog lens. And usually they, you know, they're in the Crimson. But yeah, they were all in this Bastion and I got bombarded, man. There's a ton of them. I could not make it out and I had diamond armor on. It was an enchanted diamond on her armor. I did have a gold armor on you need. You need one piece of gold, make it through the nether. So I did have one piece of gold but yeah, they do a lot of damage so beware that I don't
know if If that's a bug or not. But yeah, that could be hoagland's in a Bastion in another waste by him. So that was my Minecraft experience this week. And yeah, I'm done with that. Just waiting on Ripple three, like yourself and be getting prepared for that. That's about it for miweek. But let's go ahead and move on to the news. We've got pre-release one. Yes it says added new fabulous, graphic screen option uses per pixel blending layers for some transparent.
I did not know about that and when I watch the videos about the pre-release, I didn't see any differences. No me neither. So maybe I'm going to need a closer look to tell some of the changes. You can now milk cows, and mushrooms and creative mode. You can now gets to from mushrooms and creative mode. When you use an empty bucket of water on water and creative mode, you now get a bucket of water. Edit game rule Universal anger, disabled by default.
Fault which makes anger neutral mobs, attack any player, nearby, not just the player who angered them, we're going to have that off right week, zombie fine. Penguins no longer attack and is hit by a standards and zombiefied, pickling stop being angry. If the targeted player dies nearby, sorry, I was trying to read that quickly just in case motorcycle came by through. But these seem like small simple changes that I'm pretty happy with.
It doesn't seem like another Big rendering change which always worries me because people really rely on OptiFine. So every time they do a rendering change, it takes off to find a long time to tweak their bugs and stuff. Grand adoptee find like one guy. Working his butt off. So not saying bad about OptiFine but like they're still not even out of 115 yet or not. 115 114 there aren't pre-releases. 4115.
The so yeah the fact that one 16s and pre-release now it's like they're going to be a update behind. Yeah it does look like it's two changes. You just meant. They are toggle toggleable so you can enable them and disable them. So that's good to know. It's good to have it. Definitely the forgiving a dead player will help a lot.
I don't know how many times I've been killed and another by zombie pig lens or not pigments work pigments at the time and you come back to get your stuff and they're so mad at you and it's like you've already killed me. I learned my lesson. Right. It's a gate. I know that guy. It's like it got your poster in there. P effect Bastion. It's that Duds guy again, get is God. This guy's band if you see him game on site or you like a wanted poster. Yeah. Get the one in the tie to that
would be funny. Yeah. Yeah. And then in any tank everyone else so that's good to know better you than me type of deal plus. Now when someone tax a piglet whatever we can all just sit back and laugh Laughs, we don't have Yang for our lives also, right?
It's a good point, which also mean, you could help another player who's under attack because if they're attacking that one player and you step in and you start picking them off and they kind of get mad at you instead of that other player, then you could as the player running away attack the big lens back and kind of bouncing back and forth between you as a way to whittle them down. Yeah, didn't know Paul be a grow posies, right guys, right? Both of us.
It's a lot easier to on 40 than 140. Yeah, it's true. Good point. We do have pre-release One tech changes. Also, it says here, smithing, recipes can now be added or changed. Through data packs? Game will now detect critical data pack issues like missing required tags and prevent World from being loaded will generation customization can now be added and databanks. Databanks can now be selected before world. Dated copy World. Option will also copy data.
Packs, present, and world and Source World. Nice. Yeah, these are pretty good so far packs. Can now be dropped directly and data packed. And resource packs selection screens for useful data packs. Can now contain Dimension type and dimension folders with the world generation and dimension settings, plus over 90 bug fixes, the dimensions, the fact that Can add Dimension style through data packs. I got to feeling it's going to be big.
Yeah. Somebody somewhere is going to be taking advantage that really well. It's kind of like the April Fool's prank was just a test to see if that's going to work and they realize, hey, it does work. So we're going to put it in the game and somebody somewhere is going to take advantage of that and make a really cool world out of it. I could already see several SPS saying hey we're going to have. The Overworld. We're going to have the nether going to have the end.
And then we're going to have another world where it's just mining. Mmm. So if you need to be trucked, an entire world, instead of going 12,000 blocks out, like hermitcraft. It's tough to like go to spawn, town, hit a button. Now, you're in the mining world, you can destroy that one. All you want and bring your resources back. Oh my God. You don't, you won't even have your own location. You can have your own world. Now on the SMP that shirt, that would be insane.
Yeah, That's yeah, that would probably definitely get take advantage of now, the April Fool sing those worlds. Kind of got low ridiculous. I'm not I know people and make it a lot more playable than those. But yeah, I like that. Never thought of it like that, but that should be pretty cool. Oh, and other news pre-release 2's out. Also, yeah, right after it immediately. There was a lot of world crashes they had to fix and that's mainly work. Pre-release comes into just the bug.
Fixes on the It crashes so far. And just to note, pre-releases can be released any day, not just Wednesday. So just keep an eye out for the next pre-release. Not mean, they straight up, previous one, was deleting the nether folder and a lance is pretty bad. Yeah I know they want to talk about the world Dimension stuff. What you could do that could be really cool. Say you're planning on an SP, and you want to play on an amplifier world, but half your SP doesn't.
Well, now you can have two worlds, so you can have an amplified version. I think that would be really fun to do because I've always wanted to play on an amplified world but yeah, it'd be really nice feel to do something like that. Yeah. And you're going to you're going to need someone that's familiar with these data packs to figure that out. Figure that all out and less. You like to get the feel of it yourself but I'm not familiar
with that stuff. If I were to do that, I'd have to have someone else look into it for me. I've barely scratched the surface and it is a lot of tough coating for me. Yeah, I think it's it for the news. Yeah, do we want to get onto listener comments? Yes. Did we have a comment from Jay, man? Last week you mentioned. Do you guys do you guys think of the controls? What do you guys think of the controls for dungeons day ago? I took a couple times.
I don't know why Miss what? Right there, please day. This happens, every time we record like working up to the show recording, we talked just fine. The second we hit the record button mouth and brain do not communicate anymore. No. It's like they're not on the same face. But anyways the controls for dungeons. The only reason I have not bought dungeons is the controls. I think really? Dungeons is a super fun game. I had so much fun playing the beta I'm so glad someone gave us
the stream key. I think that was High Hopes. Yeah so I had a ton of fun but the click to go stand on this place. Click to go stand on this place. Quick to go over to fight this guy. There was a lot of clicking and I didn't Realize it until my roommate schwabe told me about it. And I was just like, you know what? That is kind of dumb. I was more hoping for a controller feel where I could joystick guys, around and move
them and maybe that's an option. I'm waiting on someone to tell me if I buy this version for like the switch or the PlayStation or something like that, is it more? I can use the joystick to control the guy around. I'm not moving click, moving, click, moving, click because that's all that's stopping me from purchasing this game is I don't want click lick lick lick lick lick lick. I thought that annoys the crap out of me and with the keyboard,
I want to use the wasd. And that's not how you do it either. I don't know if they're, you know, you can go in and fix those controls with the settings, but yeah. Same thing. You got to use the mouse and you got to click where you go, you can't hold the left button down but that can be annoying to, you know, especially if you're attacking and running. But yeah, I feel the same way besides that. I mean, I don't mind the rest of The controls. But yeah. Yeah, the movement you're right.
And it's not a complicated movement feature, like it's super easy to figure out. It's just a little thing that kind of bugs me, and it's enough for me to go. Well, I'm getting ready to start this new season and I'm pretty well and deep with my own Survival to add another game to that. I'm just pretty much going to be playing for fun. I don't plan on making content unless people are like my content and so it would mainly be fun. I have my switch.
Set up in my bedroom now so I can kind of lay in bed and play which I haven't done since they put it in there but yeah so if the movements different for game consoles I'll probably pick it up if not I kind of doubt it. Yeah same here and I'm really not familiar with the Dungeon Crawler games in the first place. It was a long time ago since I played Diablo. So all those controls might be similar. That's why they went with those controls. I'm just not familiar.
Miliar with those but yeah not too. Not too sold on the controls so far. It's good question though. Thank you Jay man, very much. So let's get into our Discord Discord. Add this week, I try to say dis week's this week's Discord. Add it from logical geek boy, who will be on the show next week. Yeah. So now is the time to ask some questions if you're part of our Discord server but take it away. Logical geek boy. Hi everyone. I'm logical.
Big Boy from Legacy SMP. I'll be joining Duds and Jimbo on next week's show. If you join the withering effect, this cord right now, using the link in the show notes, you can submit questions for me to answer your questions in, by Saturday, June the 13th and the best ones will be answered by me on the show. All right. Thanks again, Logic for making that ad for us. It means a lot that you're willing to come on the show and help us out and do all these little things for us.
Yeah. Absolutely. One of the perks of being on the Discord is you get to vote for block of the week? And this week, we asked you to vote in our Discord on the following blocks for Jimbo and I to discuss this week, your choices were bed cartography table and redstone torch and the winner. This week is bed with a runaway result. I'm going to check the votes real quick before we slide into it, 19 for bed, eight votes for cartography table and 10. For the redstone torch redstone torch.
I think would have been difficult. All right. A couple ideas for the rest of the torch but we we talk to us Mac about how close all the votes have been lately and then last two weeks, they've been like runaway votes. Yeah, everyone's kind of been on the same page. It's like You shall that. Guess what? We do. Hmm. Yeah. Usually, it's like a fight to see who's going to win. But yeah, every once a while, everyone's on board, for one of them, but I do have some things about the bed.
Just some facts allows a player to sleep. And reset, spawn point brief, let me start over allows a player to sleep. And to reset their spawn point to within a few blocks of the bed in the Overworld crafted with say. That me typing messes you up reading now because you tied to I typed that up this time. Yeah it's just reading in general I guess. Oh my goodness. You do have one eye so yeah I can't use that excuse. I can see why not.
It's it's all 2D on the screen. It's crafted with any three wood planks and three wolf depending on the color don't believe you can mix and match the colors. If a bed is obstructive player spawns at Default World spawning location, beds of various colors, generating, village houses, red beds. Only spawn in igloos can only sleep in bed at night or during
thunderstorms and beds explode. If used another, or n Dimensions yet, villagers can sleep normally in those Dimensions, their evil didn't know they had those superpowers. Yeah, so my improvements to the bed. The big one is I want different bed frames and I think, depending on the The wood type you use you should get a custom
bed frame. Now this means you can't mix the 3 wood planks like you could before you'd have to use all the same type just like you have to use the same wool type so I'd like to see that. I think that would really cool and really give you a lot of customization because of the like 16 whoa colors plus now the like eight would type if you count the Nether and stuff I think. Yeah so seven. Yeah. You're right? Yeah, you can get some really cool frame designs. So not every bed looks identical
anymore which I really like. Yeah. That's not bad. My next one Jamin. Also hinted on before I saw it you mentioned it when we were riding up shell and stuff then I want to be able to sleep at any point Jamin. Had it on like a little timer thing and I think that might mess up multiplayer World,
single-player sleep. Being for sure, but if you're in a single player world, I think, if you go to bed and a time you wake up in the beginning of night, you go to bed at night, you wake up beginning of the morning, but also to take a little bit from breath of the wild. If you're in hardcore mode, meaning your hearts will not regen unless you eat like a golden apple or your beacon or potion of whatever healing if you sleep in a bed depending on
how long you sleep in the bed. So if you go to bed as soon as night changes, It should refill your health all the way up. Yeah. So I guess you got about halfway through the night. It'll rebill your health halfway up. Yeah. Just some of the ways I would fix beds. The big thing is you get to customize your bed based on the wood color, but I think the other two are little, what do you want to call it? I came.
I think the phrase any more Breath of Life features that might help but also single player or not single player multiplayer with the whole sleep during the day problem. I would be an issue. Yeah, that definitely be an issue, but I don't think the health thing would be I think multiplayer servers can use the health regen perfectly fine? Mmm, you can also go the same way with, like hunger. If you sleep, maybe you wake up a little more hungry than when
you went to bed. Yeah. You know maybe you got to have breakfast. Yeah, I'm fine with that because if you're AF King, I really don't want the hunger to go down. I'm glad they kind of fix that over the years because there were some bugs. I would cause you to Those hunger and stuff. If you're sleeping in a bed you should be actually playing obviously. So the fact that if you go to bed and maybe you lose one hunger, stick I'm totally fine with that.
I actually might enjoy that a little bit. Hmm. Yeah, that it kind of moves into our topic. I don't know if you've got any more. You want to talk about if you want to get into the topic. No, let's go ahead and move forward. I agree with all those different changes not. Okay, so the topic this week was how to improve the survival experience in. Minecraft and we're not talking about adding blocks or anything like that but fixing survival, adding more quality of life.
Thanks, that's the phrase. I was trying to think of earlier, by the way, quality of life, for survival mode. There's a lot of other stuff that got quite a life updates at creative mode, got the save tool bars and everything like that adventure mode, and Mac makings. Getting a lot of cool little add-ons for structures things like The article that jigsaw block and Destructor block all the saying, so how can we bring like little things like that? Shouldn't a little.
Some of those are kind of big but things like that into the survival experience and it'd be really cool. So that do I'm gonna let Jimbo go through all his because Jimbo's are really good by the way so take it away Jabba what get four different points I wrote down my first is I think an important Milles should be male or female to breed.
I think, you know, animals get taken advantage of when breeding when you breed a villager, it's a lot more difficult to get a baby, you know, you need the bed, you no longer need the workstation. It was a lot more difficult with the doors, but it wasn't, you know, just giving them food in them. Breeding and I feel like the animals should have something similar to that shouldn't be that easy, and this should go with all mobs that you can breed, should be male and female.
Not seeing like Enderman zombies you know. They can all stay the same sex, but I feel like we need males and females just to make it more. I don't know. Realistic. I hate using that word when I talk about Minecraft realistic because there's creepers running around unrealistic about creeper run around. So I don't like using that word but it would I think it would improve the survival experience. I kind of agree with us. What?
This might be the one that I agree with less because Minecraft has made basically every mobs unisex or whatever. Hmm. They say there's not an actual gender for any mobs and I've been okay with that that's not a big problem. I see difficulty and trying to figure out which one's male and female, are they going to add different textures? So you can figure that out.
That'd be the beam idea. Make them look a little different to where you know you could definitely tell it would definitely make a more realistic survival experience. And like I said, I don't like using the word realistic when it comes to. Survival Minecraft. Hmm. The big part that you said or that you haven't mentioned yet is the longer period for animals to grow but more food yield per Harvest.
That's the part. I really like, I'm okay with president get to a bit longer if I got more food. Yeah, yeah. And that's just I mean, I'm going to use the word again more realistic in real life. You know, the animal doesn't grow up in 20 minutes, you know, it takes a while for an animal to grow up to be. Harvested and you're not getting us one stake out of a whole cow. Like let's let's be real here whether you got looting or not.
Yeah there's a lot of meat in there and I feel like you should get a lot more for for you know the Harvest well and the good part is you say more food by Harvest. I'm picturing like even wheat and carrots and stuff. And the best part about if animals take longer to breathing out, you still have the ability to feed those animals, more food, to get them to grow faster. So if you don't win patient and wait, you Hey, grow grow. Yeah, I got my next Point here. I think we should have seasons.
I think season should be a thing. I think it would better their survival experience. Don't want to use the word realistic here but it can be more realistic in that sense. I feel like there shouldn't be a snowy biome yet, you know, maybe the snow mobs and the snow structures can be, you know, at a higher elevation Where the snow spawns. Yeah, it's another thing Seasons. What do you feel about that?
I really want season to Minecraft, but I can see where Builders would hate it because, like, well, I chose this biome to make. What? I have pictured in my head, not to be changed by some otherworldly event. So I agree. Maybe not so much biomes as softening.
The biomes and softening the So maybe if you're in a plains biome that's in a plus plus coordinate, you'll get a Autumn season and a spring season or they were if you're okay plus - maybe you get an autumn and winter stuff like that. So based on the coordinates will kind of depend on your Seasons. I don't know, maybe if you're in a plus plus there's just no Seasons. It's normal standard Minecraft.
It might cause a little bit of issue with people who don't To travel very far from World spawn, but the same time it gives you more different stuff. If I harvest a tree in Autumn, those leaves better. Stay orange the entire time, though, because those are beautiful leaves, and that's the main reason I want some Seasons going on. Yeah, yeah. You get a different feel, you know, throughout your experience. And yeah, this is, you know, just different survival
experiences. Just throwing them out there. There is a mod Four Seasons by the If you want seasons in your world you can always do that. There was times last season. During ripple effect where I contemplated turning my castle area into a full-on snow area because part of it was in the snow and part of it wasn't. And I just kind of never got around to picking and choosing until just left a half and half.
But there was a time where I was like I just wish it would snow here so I could see what it look like. Yes. Back to your number three. Yeah, next point I feel like you should start to lose. Is are above build limit soon as you go up above build limit. It, you know, you're starting to leave the atmosphere at this point. I know you can go 10,000 blocks above build limit. That's okay.
But yeah, I feel like you should lose breath and the chapmans would still work on your gear to help you keep that breath. Maybe if you plan on flying for a long way above build limit, you can take your potion and just go off. But yeah, there's that Word coming out again. Mmm, we've used that word way too much this podcast. Yeah, just trying to, again, trying to improve the survival experience and that would make it a little more difficult. Yeah, I agree with the losing your breath.
My only fear is building above the nether would have the same effect. Most gold Farms are built above the nether, so I would hate to have to fight through that ma'am, but at the same time, I think that would be a very Very cool Overworld effect and kind of force players to know their flight patterns and stuff. There is no point in being over build limit in the Overworld period.
Once you get up high enough, basically the entire ground disappears and you're just in a Perpetual state of fog. So if you could keep that, I don't know as a kind of a caution thing. Hmm. Just another survival element to try to avoid even even if you're at the end game with the elytra, there's that another I meant that you still gotta be cautious about.
Yeah I got one more Point here and it's pretty cut and dry simple definitely better the survival experience and that is just better overall graphics and I feel like the ray tracing and r-tx is a great example of that even if you know some people aren't compatible to gain that experience I feel like every everyone should have that experience. Yeah. I definitely think that something that you put in the Game. I think they're working their way to that.
We see with the last couple updates that they're doing rendering stuff. My only problem is they were doing rendering things and 115 and it didn't change anything for me. If anything, my computer got worse on the cave, I used to be able to easily hit about 300 FPS and now I'm getting 120. I'm lucky. And that's using an OptiFine mod to help out. I'm using a risin 7 process. I have a GTX 1070 these
shouldn't be a problem. And the big thing you noticed when watching videos is frame drops, not so much pixels and all that kind of stuff. So, I tried to cap it out at 60 thinking. Well, if I average 120, if I kept it at 60, I'm just going to stay at 60. I'm not going to give you frame drops but that's not true. Either you cap it at 60, your frame drops become even more apparent for some reason. Going between 60 to 50 and I'm just like, what is going on in my crafts.
One of these rare games that I get super sensitive watching. If there's any kind of frame dropping, is there any kind of lag for some reason just makes me sick and get a headache and stuff in Minecraft only if it does that. So I'm constantly trying to perfect my visuals in this game and so every time I hear that, hey, we're working on visual effects and stuff. I get excited, but then I remember well hasn't made anything better for me. Now, it's just kind of made it worse.
So, I get a little worried because even though I've to find mods, not super effective for me anymore. Well, there's an improvement for a better experience. No lag. Period doesn't matter. I know this is, I'm pushing it, right? I've right now, definitely push it. No framedrops. No, lag, everyone has a smooth experience, doesn't matter what red stones around. You does. It matter whose building? What? No lag boot. I can understand lag in the game and there are ways to yeah.
Some lag in the game. Game, especially playerbase flag. You should not have 200 sheep in a pen, just saying true. Yeah, but if I kept my frame 260 and I'm still getting frame, drops down to the 50s and by that, I mean like I'm at 50 and sometimes 45, I shouldn't see that giant leap. A frame drops, especially when I'm sitting at 120 and only drops to 115. That's the same amount of frame drops at a higher frame rate. I don't understand that. So yeah, I don't know, but I Is
my turn to kind of go with this? Yeah that's all I got. Mine is going to be a bit of a rant. I don't have specialized topics. When I was thinking about this. Today, I realized a couple things. One Minecraft, survival mode is not a survival game, that was the big thing. I had to run through my head. Minecraft, survival mode is a building mode that you can die in. That's think if you look at all the other survival I looked at survival games left and right.
Right? And they have all these other things. You have to constantly manage your food, your health, your water, your heat and cold levels stuff like that Minecraft, doesn't do that and I don't
think Minecraft should do that. I think the Simplicity of Minecraft is what makes it such a great game for all ages and all kinds of people, even non-gaming people like playing Minecraft. So it's kind of the way Sims were before Minecraft came in. And Gamers could play Sims and enjoy Sims and a Minecraft came along. And it's like, now, the same people who were kind of introduced to Sims and kind of liked it have another game where they can easily comprehend and move on to.
So everything I'm saying I'm putting in retrospect that Minecraft. Survival mode is not a survival game. It's a building game that you can die in. Now that was my first understanding and I came to it knowing like what everyone says, Hey at thirst of the game, you need to keep Keep track of your water. And I was like, okay, well now on top of your armor, You're Building palette, your food your arrows, maybe your inner chest, you not have to save a spot for
water is water. Going to be stackable like food or is it going to be like, bowls buckets and stuff like a bucket room to drink, right? So this is just another product in my crafts imagery management is my biggest, hey, you need to fix this part of survival mode. Fixed it in creative mode. Doing the save tool bars. It makes it very easy to be like, I need this block pad and this blog palette, and you can just kind of keep going. That is awesome.
That was a genius thing to do in creative mode, and I kind of like something like that in Minecraft. Granted. Shoukry boxes were a huge leap forward. They are the I guess game defining feature in survival mode. I don't know how many times we start a new season and everyone's like, I can't live without my show. Four boxes. What the heck is this? This stinks? Yeah, I very I've been there was like that. So choker boxes were a good step
forward but they're not enough. I think better Inventory management whether that is not so much more sluts. I'm okay with the normal 27 slots and a hot bar, plus your offhand but more offhand stuff like I think you should have a backpack slot that you have to go into your inventory and click on but that would then open a secondary. 8:27 spot inventory section, so you're basically able to carry a full double
chests with you. I think that would very much help because you could be carrying stuff like your Ender Chest, your arrows or stuff like that, in another section of your inventory. So, they're not taking up your main building inventory. I think that would help way more than anything is the next big thing I would work on is food. I think food needs an overhaul. We were just talking about this. I use chicken for one season. Susan. I've been using golden carrots forever.
I'm now using steak, but other than those couple things I mean, Salmons and okay, food. I mean it's great early game. But once you get a cow Farm or if you have a gold Farm in a carrot Farm you have golden carrots. I just don't see the need for almost any other food type, beetroots, I mean, they're the most versatile food in the game. They can do almost more than anything else. Nobody uses them because they're a horrible food through.
So yeah I think food needs to be in there, it almost needs as much work as inventory management I think Inventory management squeaks it just ahead because I think Mojang is closed. I think the if they just look at the shoukry box and realize, okay, this was a step in the right direction. Let's push it. Just one more step forward and see what we can do. And I think they'll hit it and I think would be perfect.
I have no doubt. Those guys, have some kind of creative way of doing, This. So, yeah, I have complete faith in them. I think they should work on food after that. No thirst. No. Hey, you're wearing too much armor. Your guys hot in the desert. You're going to lose Health. Now, none of that Minecraft survival mode is a building mode that you can die in. That's it. So focus on that. I completely agree with that. I don't like the water idea.
You know where people feel like if they're thirsty they should have to drink again. Yeah that messes with The it messes with your inventory, you know, to where you then you'd have to fix that. I feel like there's more than enough food in the game. But yeah, some improvements to some of the food would definitely be helpful. Maybe you know, combine some four different dishes, you know some are stackable some aren't stackable. I'm definitely not saying we need to add more food to the
game. I think the food we have in the game that's pretty good but I've been yelling at He came out honey. Is this great thing in the game that does almost nothing but make honey blocks. So to be able to combine honey with some food, maybe that gives you a little bit more saturation, would be an awesome idea, honey. Covered be troops. Could be the next big fruit or food, honey, and bread. Great idea. Stone figure. I knew you're in the live chat for a reason, I'm going to call
you out right now. I mean, that's a normal food in the world. Put honey on bread or honey on toast or something like that so yeah do more stuff like that that would be ridiculously awesome but the only problem with the honey thing is you would have to raise bees. That's my only issue with your your honey idea in the fears. I you'd have bees around. Yeah exactly. Maybe I'll have a chef on site or something someone to do that for me but yeah I'm not mess with this B's.
I did have I did I was just thinking of another aspect. I would like to, okay, that could better this up survival experience, just from playing the survival in the nether. Is that ambient noises and how at one point I was, like, nervous, I was scared to go anywhere because of the sounds and everything, and I feel like maybe if you were to go into a cave, maybe you can hear the Echoes Off the Wall. Yeah. And you're like, actually in the cave, you know, Maybe different sounds.
Different noises could help out there. Also, yeah, I can see that you're saying this and now I'm getting crazy ideas. Removing a little bit off of the upgrading or improvements for survival experience. I think your sounds ambient. Noise is a great idea, but then that pops in my head. How cool would it be if you're caving and maybe bats now, kind of only hang around out hang around where they're mobs. So they would kind of become a
bob warning device. So it's like oh I see bat oh no, that definitely means there's other mobs around here. Hmm and you can maybe hear the echo of the bat down the cave. It's not just a you know, just a quick sound but like an echo. Think that would be cool. I think that would be a very cool thing. Really put you into yeah, really put you into the game because when I was in the nether, I was yeah again, I felt like I was there just just from those extra noises. They added is really cool.
This just popped Had also its little, I don't think it needs to be worked on as much as anything else. But traveling in a survival mode. Basically, once you get the elytra, there's no reason to do anything else. And honestly, I love Elijah's. I understand why nobody uses anything else. Once I get an Elijah, they are absolutely awesome. But to have something that could kind of compete with an Electra,
would be really nice. I don't know how you would do it at all, but just to have other options could be. Very cool. Yeah, the only thing beyond the elytra is like a flying mob really? I mean to give you not only flying but maybe an attack ability and there's the setup Red Dragons. Yeah. I mean it all seems every episode seems that point towards his frickin dragons.
But yeah, they are the end-all-be-all mod for Minecraft. But as Ian then I was it like I was he yawned after your writing and speech, but yeah, like the think I heard you mention Red Dragons, a long time ago and I'm like, yeah, that wouldn't be a bad idea. They'll never do it but that wouldn't be a bad idea. But now, the more I think about it, like man, it could definitely definitely be implemented in the game and have a lot of cool. A lot of cool abilities.
I mean, if you want to go past the end beyond the end, there it is. Yeah, I think red. Vince would be great. I know I keep going as topic and some people might be tired of talking about Red Dragons, but if you really think about it, it doesn't have to be a red dragon, but more writable not mobs. In general, could be really cool. And I like how Mojang is starting to definitely lead towards more fantasy type mobs.
So I'm excited. Like then another update, proved to me that they're not scared to just go out there and put crazy stuff in there, like you. Back at one point nine when they did the end update that was a huge update at the time but you look at it now that update didn't age well like two years after 1.9 update came out. It's just like the things you remember the most from it, Al leiter has shoukry boxes and combat change. No one really cares about in cities or end rods or cores fruit.
Hmm, and you didn't get the shulker boxes like right away. It took time for the show. Good boxes, be implemented. And let's not forget Elijah's were pretty worthless. Until Rockets were able to propel. I know hermitcraft was using punch to boast kind of work their way around, but you had to be pretty good to do that and you need to bows on. Yeah. So I didn't do that kind of one fighting boat.
Exactly and so the fact that this another update they've thrown every idea at it and it's working. I've Very much excited to see what they do next. Honestly, I know people keep yelling for a cave update, but I'd could care less, whatever it is because this shows me that anything they touch is probably going to be gold. Yeah. And mueang Mojang. Whoa, whoa. Whoa, yeah. But I haven't said I haven't said no Yang since I don't know when, but I was going to say it Mojang, We Trust.
I know they're going to make really good decisions. They already improved the I've experienced of the nether. Let's hopefully they can get to the Overworld eventually. Hopefully they can take some ideas we've shared and use some of those but if not I'm sure their ideas are better and like I said, I know people are clamoring for a cave update and I'd be excited for a cave update by the same time.
If they came out and said, you know what, we're going to go to the end and do what we did to the nether in the end. I don't think anybody would complain. Well, I do like you probably get a couple. Why people are playing? But I think the majority of people will be excited. Hmm, once they see what's in store. Yeah, it's definitely some excitement. But every every time there's a change, there's always some people are like all. This isn't Minecraft anymore. You know, it seems like every
update all this. Does it feel like Minecraft anymore? It's just the adjustment. Yeah, in my opinion, soon, as you adjust it. Well, that's what everyone said about that later. I liked his don't feel like Minecraft because you're flying now and With you, broke the game, I'm excited for it because Minecraft has been such like a medieval style game for so long. Now we're starting to get more blocks and more creative
abilities. It's like we're finally moving out of one, John, ra of building type and we don't have to stretch our imagination to build another Boeing's just like Mojang. So you got me doing it now? Um oh they're just like oh so yeah, take this palette. Take this palette. It's like Oprah. You get a modern design, you get him. Modern design, here, you can stay in the medieval design.
Everybody gets all these creative designs and a lot of ESPYs are doing that now, they're having districts where you can build, you know, those certain kind of pallets. Yeah, so I thought was really cool, pretty cool idea. Yeah. But I think that's got as gotta go for today my totally mess up that line. But before Jimbo Rita's out, I want to say a huge.
