Transcript

Hey everyone, welcome to the weathering effect episode 65. Today's date is October 5th 2020. Not October 3rd. Those of you in the pre-show understand, I am Duds or Duds versus known to the rest of the interwebs. I'm Jimbo, I know it date. It is, you may know me as Jimbo's like 23. It's a pretty big week. So what have you been up to nothing? No, not a lot of real Minecraft. I the urge to play just hadn't been there this week.

I don't know how to really put it so my grandmother is moving back to North Carolina this week. Well, she moved back yesterday. Hmm. So all this week was kind of prepping her moving up and since I am her internet And as of two years ago, I converted all of her TV phone and stuff to just pure internet.

I had to do a lot of phone calling it, and things together that way basically jumping on her computer from my computer, because when she got a new computer, I made sure she got the business Windows 10 version so I can jump on there and he went I wanted. Okay. Yeah. So I was doing a lot of that going to help grandma. Yeah. And my hockey team won the Stanley Cup on Monday. Go Lightning. That's right. Yeah. And that just kind of put me in

celebration mood all week. Yeah, so a lot of our random times the past three weeks. Trying to record the show has been because every time we go to record the show, my hockey team is playing and Jimbo, and Carl have been kind of nice enough to bounce the schedule around to make sure I didn't miss a hockey game. So thank you guys. The bro, I didn't want to talk about except got this weird like

don't jinx it type things. So I didn't talk about my hockey team winning in They actually won the cup. So yay. Yeah, I didn't get too much information off your with the whole hockey season. I knew you guys are doing well but I didn't know you were one game away from winning the cup. So congratulations. Yep, pretty cool. Thank you very much. I didn't do anything but support the team budget. There were definitely rituals I'd have to go through pregame

if I didn't do it, we lost. Yeah, I think we're lost sports fans. Have those different kind of Angels, lucky shirt and all that way deeper than that does. Like, there's a point where my roommate had to be wearing a blue pair of shorts. He wore at the beginning of the playoffs. He wasn't all on the room. I had to have a glass of chocolate milk that I couldn't finish till after the game. And I'm sorry, a hockey game. Something that's free hours long that glass of milk was warm by

the end of the game. It's Larry's. Yeah. Just that's how superstitious I got. Hmm, it's very superstitious Yeah. What about you? I put out a video. Well what as of right now, I'm planning out my base and I got the main shape and structure of it and because of that there's so much I have to do before actually really recording anything. I can time-lapse it but I'm still not positive.

What the tower shape is going to be, but I have the whole shape of the bottom of the base ready to go, and I got a lot of carpet to place. Got a lot of glass to place, huh? That makes for bad content. You know people watch me Place Glass it. Lets you time lapse at all, like I said. Hmm. But then again you know, you stop gather resources. It's going to be a long process. So I kind of when I put this episode out, I kind of rushed it. I felt like it was rushed.

I wasn't too proud of it. It's one of those instances where you're kind of, you know. Do I put this out? Could I do better? It was one of those. So I don't know the next one. I'm going to try to get out within a week. Eek. But it might be a little longer just because of that, if I can find anything else to gather content in the server, I will go ahead and do that. But yeah, I really want to not try to rush anything. Mmm, and put out the content that I feel like I'm capable of. Yeah.

Definitely, don't ever rush anything. Mmm. Because I hate when I go back and I look at episodes, I'm like, I could have done that so much better, why didn't I? Yeah like there's a there's a point where at At the end, I start exploring a dungeon and there there could easily been music in the background and I didn't apply that and I was like man it really could have brought the ambience of the cave out, you know.

And I'm like that was a completely missed opportunity because I rushed it and didn't I do his oversight but yeah, let's try not to do that anymore but besides that, you know, we did the, we just did the Minecraft live. That was a decent amount of planning and itself created Carl did most of Bit. Mmm. But me and you talking in the background like how we're going to do this or how we're going to do that? What if it's this and we both kind of hit on what 117 was

going to be about. We're going to talk about that more in the main topic though. So no spoilers but remind me to bring up the fact how we both guessed correctly this time around. Yeah yeah we did we're nailing them. So Minecraft news. Obviously we're going to talk about 117 in the main topic so we're going to skip that some other news though Minecraft will join Super Smash Brothers. Yeah. Steve Alex Zombie and Enderman will all be Fighters.

Come the next update. I forget which one it will be. I don't know. I don't have Super Smash Bros for the switch this time around and that was one of my favorite N64. Games was the original Smash Brothers. Ohh, I loved it now. I didn't realize they update it. It's an updatable game. It's not. You know for sale. Yes. Okay. Usually you have to buy it when they do that. Well you have to The switch version, okay. And then they've been releasing DLCs for the switch version.

Yes, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool. When they ate kind of like they keep updating it, until they feel that they have something better and they release the next version of Super, Smash Brothers. All right, that makes sense. Also, we have some Minecraft dungeons news. There's a new DLC coming called howling Peaks. I didn't see a date for that, but I might have missed it. There's a free update including a harder game. Good called apocalypse.

Plus, mmm. Also, there's rumors of it being cross-platform, finally. Oh, I always kind of thought it was, but maybe I was wrong. Yeah, I wasn't too sure either. That is a lot of stuff for dungeons. Yeah. And you guys know us we both enjoyed dungeons but we still haven't bought it yet. Yeah I'm enjoyed the original game a lot better. So I guess to I get the financial funds to actually buy it. Yeah, I've got so many. Like was it Star Wars squadrons? Came out this week and I've been

wanting that but it's $40. And I'm just like, huh? It's kind of like a flight simulator on steroids, so I'm not really big on flight Sims, but I love Star Wars. So I just I can't cough up the money right now. Yeah. Me neither money's tight tight just you know the year he had the wire 2020s been. I don't chance anything. Yeah, it's best to save what you got, you know, try to hold. Hold what you can I guess.

Well, not to mention. Mention I just bought three brand new dog beds for the spoiled brat snoring to my left. So I'm wanting to revamp My Stream a little bit, not so much. The looks like I normally do but like my stream deck and everything like that, which means bringing back Puppy. Cam. Who the way her bed is right now is such a huge bed show always sleep off care because the bed so large.

Even if I put the camera in the middle of the bed, she'll find a way to be off camera, camera Shelley. Yeah. I got her a little bit smaller bed. That's big enough for her but will line up good with the camera window. So Puppy Cam will be making a comeback once the beds come in at some point. It's good. Need a comfortable Susie. What see the problem is. So, she fights ear infections a lot.

And so, I'm constantly having to clean her ears, which means her ears will go from smelling really bad to smelling really medical all within a week and that smell gets on the beds. And even though I wash her, Beds like every other week there, her beds just smell constantly now so I found a reputable Source where I can buy beds cheaper. So now whenever she just sinks the bed up instead of trying to wash it and put all this chemical on it and I'm just throwing the bed out and buying

a new bed. Yeah. Like you best, yeah, it is my office smells like, dog. And I do not like it. Anyways, listen to comments trying to move quickly and I keep getting caught off guard. This is a email from Ross. They say I heard the VR. Russian and wanted to weigh in as VR is the primary way I play. Minecraft, Minecraft is already so immersive that when you add VR, it's like, you never want to leave.

I understand the skepticism and don't fully disagree that it's niche, but VR is getting better and more affordable than ever see Oculus quest to. I'm sorry with the cough drop in my mouth and it because I'm trying to breathe through a stopped-up nose. However, it's completely ruined traditional flat games for me and while having Space is nice. My favorite game and VR is the board game. Settlers of Catan. My roommate has that game. We've just never sat down and played it.

So keep your eye out on VR and don't write it off so soon. Thanks, Ross. Yeah, thank you Jimbo thoughts. I'm going to stick with my original thoughts. I don't know how to really put it into words, how I explained it before. Yeah. Just not a fan of the the virtual reality experience. I don't know it until unless you have like the the You can stand and run and actually do things yourself.

I understand with the Oculus, you have your headset and you have a controller so you can jump and move a lot with the controller in your hand. And that I feel like that takes away from the virtual reality experience, having a controller. It be cool if it was more hands-free, type of deal, mmm, which maybe it is. I don't know. I never really looked into the Oculus Quest to Have. You looked at it. I looked out a little bit.

And it does have two controllers with joy sticks and buttons and stuff on it. Yeah, the price is still three hundred dollars though and that's on top of having to have a PC that could handle running VR. And I'm not sure what level of PC. It takes to run VR. I know right now, I'm running on a rise in 1700 x and a GTX 1070 and at the time I built this computers $1200. Yeah. So, granted, that was years ago when Risin first came out, I I

think the price is there yet. I still think it's too Niche. I think the we is going to be my going example because when we first came out it was like the big, big bad, new console and the way that we sticks and everything moved and stuff that

was the new way to game. And even then I was just like no I have a feeling they're going to go back to console controllers at some point and the switch came out and while it still has the I forget the motion controls, that's what I'm trying to say it. It has that, that's no longer the primary use for most games on the switch. And then they come out with this. It's Pro Controller. That is seriously the best controller I've ever played with.

So, if you guys have a switch, it's well worth the money to buy one of those. Yeah, I think you are kind of Falls in that thing. It's great technology and I think I would want to more use it in like Sim racing or Sim flight like Star Wars squadrons has VR and Agassi where that's perfect because squadrons like forces you to be in the cockpit the entire time, there's no third person and that, so to me, that would be perfect for it. But guys like me, I still run

into the Minecraft in general. Makes me sick to my stomach. Yeah, just going to say that I can only imagine what that's going to do. We're seeing like, even 3D movies not do as well as they used to, even that bad starting to kind of died down, I don't know. I'm kind of late for the technology to get there to where it's, it feels like if Feels right of it just doesn't feel right. I wouldn't mind trying it but I don't think I'm going to spend $300 to chance it.

Yeah. Yeah, if I buy it, you know what? If I don't like it and I bought this three hundred dollar headset for nothing, so I definitely want to try it before purchasing anything like it. I think you can get a fifty dollar headset that your phone can hook to, and you can at least watch movies and stuff in VR. Oh yeah, I have one of those. Actually. I've never tried one of those. Yes, it is. Those aren't bad. I never use it. It's, it's in my cover. I think I got two of them. Sit my cover.

So that's how much of a fan I am of that. Yeah, I don't know. But thank you for the email will agree to disagree. But idiot baby. Were the exception. Me and Jimbo have done stuff different than most people for a while now. So right, thanks again Ross okay thanks for the email love hearing from you guys and Seeing hearing from you guys.

The best way to get in contact with us is the Discord not to mention the only place where you can vote for Mob of the week because that's what it is this week. Special one week, only this week's disk, or dad is going to be brought to you by YT YT. Friend of the show friend of the server. Thank you so much yd, take it away. Hey everyone. I'm Whitey Whitey and I'm a member of the weather affect us

called. It's a great place to hang out with fellow list was like me and the people who work on the show. So join today, and let's discuss the game we love. There are links in the show notes. All right, thanks Whitey. And if you guys would like to record an ad for the Discord server, just get in touch with me, Jimbo or Carl, will hook you up the script.

We actually need more people to read scripts because block of the week is obviously being changed everyone's wrong because we're slowly running out of blocks. Yeah I mean there's only so many. Yeah this week was going to be a special one. We decided to do the Minecraft live mob vote on our Discord server, to see if it would go any differently than it did in the show. So yeah, surprise surprise. Yeah we do you hear the winner of this? Yeah your choices were the MU Bloom the Chilla juror.

I'm not calling it The ISO logger. I know that's not how you pronounce it either but come on. It's aiso lager or the glow squid. I agree with chillage ER but the winner this week is glow squid, surprise surprise, glue squid one Yeah I voted a soldier or isil lodger tillage. ER I encourage your Ledger would have been at a missed opportunity should have been chillage. ER one vote was a deciding

factor. Wow, 25 votes for the glow squid, 24 for the I Solider so is pretty similar to the the official vote mu Bloom by the way, had five. So no love for the Boom. No, especially for me. Okay, couple things about the glue squid. It is a squid. That glows, that's it. That's all while some others things. Is they mentioned that it would be deep ocean. Oh, okay or cold ocean. Maybe when they do spawn in. So it brings a little life to more.

Lifeless areas of the ocean, which is one reason I voted for it but I think the bigger reason people didn't vote for chillage. ER. Is because Phantoms here. I think Phantoms has ruined the mob vote and it was the first mob boat. So my thought process is voting for a mob that's hostile is not going to go well and he's mobbed votes ever again. Because I think the fear of the Hostile mom becoming more of a nuisance than a viable tactic of playing like the chojuro. I thought could be cool.

Well, if you could have them constantly responding and maybe they dropped, I so you could do AFK ice Farm but there was no guarantee that. Yeah, for all, you know, every time you went to a top of a Mountaintop, you'd have one of these guys there and they would just become annoying to have to constantly kill. What if you want to build your base up there and they're just constantly spawning up there, throwing ice blocks at you too many risks.

Yeah you didn't get too much information and as we were watching it live well before they did them all both the Used a hostile mob so that could have persuaded people to go. Yeah, passive. They should the same clip as they did on Twitter about the mobs and I was hoping to get a little bit more information. Same to persuade me from the a solider but I don't I think I went that way because of the new mechanics, it presented in, it just does a lot more.

I felt like the glow squid in the MU blue, more kind of re skins which I saw a jerk on is a reskin. But they have different functions. At least, I think, you know, you like again, we don't we didn't get too much too much from the video from Minecraft live. Yeah, I'm hoping glow squid will drop something useful. I'm not counting on it though and trying to think of all the cool stuff. That glows good can do. I think I saw somewhere maybe on Reddit, I can't remember where I

wish. I would have saved the link. Somebody thought that maybe the glow Squidward drop a glowing ink pouch with you. Put into a potion and it would give you the glow effect. Or if you put it into a splash potion with lingering, you can maybe throw it at them off. Any mob that walks in there with then get the glow effect. So there's are bad ideas, they're not bad ideas. Now I feel like glowing and lighting or two different things like glowing, usually illuminates at night.

And I was hoping possibly to get an item that would glow at night. Not in the day. Same like Maybe you can craft it into a block that, you know, looks looks like a regular block. I don't know what color we would be but at night it would glow and that would, that's kind of what I'm hoping for. Yeah. Now, we did see a lot of a lot of things and a lot of new lighting sources and a lot of things that glowed is also glowstone. It could drop that different possibilities.

So, crystals, I'm right there with you. And what's a glow Source? What's a light source? And I'm right there with you and hoping that you can make a block glow. My big fix for glow squid. Is that it drops a glowing ink sac, which only glows in the darkness and that you could craft it. Like, you can craft Mossy, Cobble Mossy stone brick and

everything like that. And instead of the mossy texture on it, it would look like a normal stone block, unless you have it under light level 10 and then the quote unquote much I see texture would glow, I like that. It has to be under light level of 10 for it to work, but I agree. It's kind of weird because you're like oh I want to use it everywhere. Well now I got mobs spawning everywhere. Hmm. And it kind of distinguishes the difference between the glowing and the lighting, I felt this

was a nice compromise. It's not a light source, not that it's just atmospheric stuff and I had the idea from luminous Stone which is a real thing. You can find them in the world. Hmm. So felt like it would be natural to kind of make luminous Stone in Minecraft. Yeah. See what look do you have anything on the MU Bloom before we move off of this? Because, you know, my thoughts. So I moved Bloom was supposed to be friends with bees and honestly I couldn't really think

of anything. Those are my enemy. Yeah, so friend of an enemy is kind of an enemy. Yeah, I don't know. We have so many cows effects right now and And I was kind of just, I was excited when I saw the brown cow. Hmm, what is it? If a Mooshroom cow gets struck by lightning, it turns into the brown cow, or whatever it's called. Yeah, but it doesn't, there's no difference between that and the Mooshroom Cottage. They both do stew or soup or whatever like that. And like the only two princes,

the texture. It's like I wanted something better. So I I think the blue blue and was just going to be a lost cause all together. Yeah, their best bet was to Lane in depth but they had planned for it and they did not do that for any mob. So yeah, the, the best part about the new Bloom is it distracted the bees? Yep. That was the best part about it. Yeah.

I mean I didn't want another cow, I do glow scoot over the MU Bloom, and I really think that the one mob that won, the vote is whichever one was going to be least annoying, brought the most atmospheric. So I think before, combining this like, hey, it's time to start really Bringing some atmospheric stuff. Especially, I don't know why my mouth just whistled there, especially after the nether update where the atmosphere just got, ramped to 11 the

atmosphere. And another update was so good and they've touched on it a little bit and 117, which will go over but not enough, more atmosphere, please. Yeah, that's that's one thing I was really pushing for still. I mean, there's still time. Still time maybe? In the cards. Yeah we just saw the beginning. It's nowhere near done, they're aiming for a release like 116.

So that's a ton of time. They added so much content and 116 from when they released it or from when they showed it off to when they released it. So this is just the beginning. I have a feeling. Yep. And do you want to start with the beginning? You're going to get to the main topic. Let's start with the beginning. So the first thing we're introduced to is Lush caves. It is the caves and cliffs. Wait, I have a gripe about the name but we'll go over that

later too. So everyone we got the cave update. Yeah you rag on me all you want I'm still not happy about it but I'm pretty excited. I'm not going to complain about it like I said I felt there was other things the game needed more but if we got a cave update I'd go with it and they did introduce some stuff that I think really cool. So let's caves first thing we notice is The azalea tree. Yep. It's a, it's basically an oak tree with different Leaf blocks on it. Okay.

The woods not different. Now it's the same would, at least from the video and they did say that most of the textures and stuff is program art. So it might be a full-on different, wood block. I kind of hope it is. I kind of hope they change the texture and it's not just an oak tree with different Leaf blocks because we have a dark oak tree, which is Different wood type, but the same Leaf blocks. Yeah, it's annoying. And it really that messes with your inventory a little bit.

So we have that. And then that's the marker on where Lush caves is. Usually, you'll find a whole nother you can climb down because there's Vines. Yeah, below the tree. Everyone is now starting to notice that the dirt block underneath is, oh, tree is different and I'm going with, that's because it's not a dirt block, it's going to be something called a root block, okay? This block seems to travel all the way down to Actual cave and in some camera instances.

You see like these tiny little I want to call them fingers but it's not really that think of it more like upside-down brown grass coming out of these root blocks. Hmm. So I'm thinking maybe if you bonemeal route block, these little fingers would come out. Really cool looking. I don't think I've noticed it. Look at through the video, the best way you can see it is when I show the upside down flower that I'm calling the particle, flower bouquet the it's a big pink flower puts off.

A small amount of particles right behind it. You can see the route block texture. I'm talking about. All right? Yeah, I was always distracted by that flower when I saw it because of the particles, that's probably why I missed that. Yep. Also, in the cave, they have what I call baby tree. Mmm. And it basically just looks like a bigger sapling, yeah, or a

small azalea tree. There were some with The azalea flowers and some without it. Yeah, I was going to say it looks like there's different textures of it. Come, huh? I don't know, if maybe that's going to be the new sapling texture. If so I'm going to get super excited because I would love that. I'd be using flower pots and stuff for these little saplings like crazy. Yeah, I was never a fan of using of flowers, really, you know, using flowers throughout the game.

Hmm. But I would use saplings in those clay pots. Yeah. So that would have been we might be able to do that might be able to. It looked like they had grass that had all of its sides covered. Hmm. For me I didn't notice this at first because I was like well that's the way my game looks right. They just went ahead and updated the grass texture turns out. It's probably what's called a moss block. Yeah, but I think most people are calling it off. Block.

Yeah, this Moss block also has a what I'm calling a carpet texture, where you can or carpet layer, we're See where you can craft it into carpet shaped block and set it down. So it gives just a little bit of texture compared to other things. I don't know if it's going to be spawnable, like carpet, or non spawnable, like carpet, but that's there if I had to guess. I'd say it would be known spawnable, I would think so, you would think it would act as if it was carpet. It looks just like grass.

Mmm. So, it would really help. And, you know, when you make things spawn, Proof you won't need the lighting in the grass anymore. You can actually terraform better with these. Yeah sure. And but we don't know how they grow or anything like that so we don't know if they're farmable right? Or if you're just constantly going to have to find these little Lush caves and rip them to all. Yeah we have honestly one of my top three things in the Lush caves and that's glow.

Barry Vines. Yeah I think they glow bereaved. I'm is looks. So cool and they're going to add so much atmosphere. I kind of wish you could pluck, the globe are. He's kind of, like, you can't a berry bush. Mmm, eat them. But they didn't show any signs of that. So I don't know if that's gonna be possible. Yeah, that was probably the first thing I've noticed mean, besides, you know, the azalea tree at the beginning, Susie went underground. I was like there's a light

source. Yeah, there's another light source. It's hanging from the vines. I didn't expect something like that. Everyone's looking for a new light sources. So that's awesome. I'm really glad to see something like that, and like you said to be able to pluck, them would be wonderful. That would be pretty ideal if we could do that. Also we need to say this. Before we go too much further King be dogs noted in a lot of the video footage, they made certain blocks glow that aren't

going to Glow in the game. They just made it Glow so you could physically see what was going on in the video and it wasn't covered in darkness. Yeah. A lot of that with oars. Yeah the all the orders glowed so it's not a new thing. It's just the lighting effect. Yeah made it really easy for us to kind of tell it was going on.

Yeah it's so you can see under there the next Plant in this Lush cave is the drip leaf plant, which grows to different levels and you can use it as platforming the longer you stand on the leaf. The more likely it is to drop you. I think it is as of now a set time. It's not like a random tick. You know, I think it should be a random take that would be really cool. Yeah, because as of right now, the drift leaf plant. Yeah, I could take it or leave it. It's not going to bother me.

I think it was more of a hat makers tool, which I'm cool with. But as of right now, I don't see much use of it. Now, depending on fist, if it's possible, this could be huge for farming. That's true. Because because a, you know, mobs can spawn on it and it'll eventually drop them down. Didn't even think of that, we don't know. It's spawnable or not. So that could, it could be a lot bigger than we initially thought very true, didn't even think it was brought up on YouTube or on Twitter.

Someone brought up, can't remember. But I was like, wow, that's, that's an eye-opener. So, look out for that. We're still not sure yet though and the last but probably most important thing in the Lush cave is see Axolotl, right? I say axolot, I heard some people caught Axolotl, but every time I see it like, Like the pronunciation written, they say Axolotl, so I'm calling the Axolotl. It's hard to pronounce it the way. It's lettered or word. Yeah, are spelled. Yeah, Axolotl.

That's how they pronounce it. It's a lot like The Strider. It's based off a real animal, and it's a lot like the shredder in the fact that it's so ugly. It's cute. Yeah. And the best part is, you can tame them. So, I think to tame them as of right now, it's you just swim up to them and you pick them up in the bucket and Gives him the tag where they're tamed to you personally and you can create your own little army of axolotls and they will attack other mobs with you.

Mmm, which is something really cool and when they take damage or they're getting close to death, they kind of fake death and they just kind of like rollover and so hostile mobs won't attack them and they'll recoup their health and then go back to attack which is really cool feature. Yeah, they played It also heard that they're hinting at they they'll be able to heal you possibly. Mmm. Yeah. I that might be cool. I think I want to say it was King be dogs. Like hinted at that?

Hmm. Not too sure. No. That was at the end at the show. So it was the other guests or laughs. Yep. You will re F, right. We're at, we have to ask him some time. Yeah. If we ever talk to him, I've been seeing images of these guys in different colors, but None of them were official mowing or Mojang accounts. So, as of right now, as I just know that they're pink and they're weird-looking and they're adorable and I think everybody's going to have a whole Army of these guys

following them around. Yeah, they didn't really say if their breathable you didn't really see a baby variant. So as far as we know what spawns in is that's that's all. Yeah, but that's kind of it for Lush caves, do we want to move on to dripstone caves? Yeah, get the troops in caves here. That was a pretty big one there. The less caves it was dripstone caves, they've added stalactites and stalagmites. Hmm. So I thought looked great the stalactites which were the ones

in the ceiling. They trip water from them, you can, which can refill cauldrons. It's pretty useful. Hmm. The stalagmites which are on the ground can cause damage if any mob waterfall in. And I'm pretty sure if the player also, so that could be very, very useful for farming. Also want to thank the stalactite can also cause damage if you break it and it falls on something. Yes. Yeah. And it does become an item, so you can pick that up and take that with you to use in your

bills. Now, we don't know if you can place them on any block or if it has to be a stone block. Yeah, we never actually saw anyone place it so placing it might not be a real thing, right? Huh. Yeah right. Hey, you might not be able to. Maybe it's just an item for crafting recipe or not too sure. Yeah, the only thing I'm not so fancy about them is the texture and I was kind of hoping. So I'd like the texture in general, but it does that whole

four-sided cross texture thing. Yeah, and I really wish Mojang would start moving into more 3D textures. Basically, it's going to be as soon as Vanilla tweaks. Puts out the 3D texture for that. That's what it's going to be. I've been doing it with rails and ladders ever since that it's like I really wish they would start moving to these 3D textures. I don't know how hard it is on the game to do that, but please these Mojang only argument I could see.

Is if it wasn't 3D its kind of circular and that's like a No-No, it nothing can be circular. Hey in Minecraft, we're going. To pull the what they do when they don't give us concrete stairs and slabs and tell us well as so you can be more creative. Hey, give me a 3D texture. That doesn't have to be. Circular, be creative. Could you get slapped for that? Yeah, I guess they could have made this bikes non-circular in 3D, you know, they could have made them.

Yeah, a blocky and spiky at the same time, they do grow. Apparently, I mean, you see a thicker into a thinner, just like a spike. Yeah, and they're all variations of hiding Heights and everything like that. Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong. I like the texture itself but I just wish it was 3D now I don't imagine that bone meal can grow these. Because it's a sad to Stone. It's not like a plant, some

curious, how they grow. And if you can grow them you have to water it. It might be like bamboo you place it it just grows rapidly or over time maybe, yeah. Time affected ma or blocks seems to be a theme. This update to also, in the dripstone cave, there's a unknown Block in the video footage that you noticed.

Yeah, so when you look closely at the dripstones in one of the frames, there is a like vein of blocks that just doesn't look like Stone. And I can't tell if the stalactites because there was a slag tight that I was looking at was awesome. This one certain block, or if they were on both this block and a stone block, a lot of these new blocks weren't mentioned in the video at all.

So it just could be again random textures that they're using for video purposes, but there was a different kind of stone block. It looked like a really light grey block, almost like powdered concrete, the light gray powder concrete but it was a solid so I don't know. There was Stocks of maybe marble coming into this update so that might be it. I mean, it makes sense, you know, for caves, you know, different Stone variants, getting a couple of those.

Yeah, I didn't necessarily get to see that in the video but I did see a picture. Someone put out of, you know, all the blocks that they've noticed and I saw it in there and I was like all didn't see that but apparently it's in the dripstone capes. Yeah, basically in every section there was a new blog. That wasn't talked about. But yeah, besides that, that's all for the dripstone. Caves still looks pretty cool, huh? The deep dark is the next section and probably the

section. I think most people are excited about. We again, first thing you see, is a unknown block type, I'm calling this block type Shale, or maybe even Limestone. It's a little too dark to be like a natural Limestone, but hey to each their own. Hmm. And in the kind of looks like a Rick texture. Yeah, kind of like maybe a

natural brick look. Yeah. Like layers, kind of. And that's why I call it Shale but it could very well be some completely different block and I'm just making stuff up, you know, too sure yet. So the first things you notice is is new block and a new location which I'm referring to as the barrel room. It's a structure that houses, some barrels of furnace, a bunch of cobwebs, some oak logs, that's it.

Also, there were candles in here, they were placed around which looks like the formation of C pickles. Mmm. But obviously with a candle texture, the big thing, I noticed there were two candle colors, a black candle and a white candle. Yeah, maybe that means we can die candles or craft candles. That are different colors. Hmm. Maybe get a wax variant or some kind of wax block or wax item.

Yeah, I'm in assume. You have to do something with some honey, and then you have to use a die and some string to craft a candle, maybe probably going to have to make friends with these bees eventually. I mean, it looks like they're going to there's another instance, where wax could come in as of use. So, yeah, I might have to make friends with them. I don't know. It's it makes me nervous. So, also down in the deep dark ders. It's called skulk.

We have skulk growth and skulk sensor block. Sensor block, is probably the thing most people are excited about at least in the Redstone community. So this sculpts interblock will sense, vibrations, and send out a vibration signal, which can be bounced off other sensor blocks, and also a new mob called the warden in this Ward. Mm, guy is big and he's scary and he's Derpy. Looking. But he whacks you hard.

Yeah, he's blind. So all he's doing is relying on these vibration signals, so you can easily distract it by like the king. Bee dogs, threw snowballs and the video. I think you've you throw arrows. It'll distract it. I'm really curious to how they react with fireworks. Hmm, yeah, I think that would be an awesome thing to mess with him but they pack a punch can be dogs wearing full on another. Armor, not Enchanted, but full-on nether, right armor? And it took two hits.

Take him out. Yeah, it looks like you're going to have to do something similar to the Enderman tactic. You know, getting under a 2 block, High area to defeat this thing. But again if it if it hears you walk I guess you can you can sneak around and get around it. But as soon as you go to walk away or whatever it will pick up that sense, just like the skulk sensor, Blocks a mechanics is that apparently we're still not too too.

Sure. But yeah, it'll it'll chase you down and it Roars at you and runs pretty fast. It came out in pretty fast and that was pretty terrifying if you ask me. Yeah. It'll also flicker light levels in the area. This is a player effect. So whenever a warden is near you any light you have near you will start to flicker. Oh yeah, I saw that on a king bee. Bugs tweet. He's saying this is a player effect. It's not Dynamic lighting or anything like that. Yeah, I was wondering what he

meant by that. That's good. You're able to clarify. It didn't went to sure. That's cool. Very cool. Now I like the warden even more Borden's definitely one of my more favorite ones, their scariest crap and I'm sure I will have to change my pants after I find one for the first time. But yeah, keep that pinky finger strong. If You play with the keyboard, mmm. Because they are pretty terrifying. Definitely, I want to go back to the skulk sensor real quick. Okay.

It can. You can also concentrate the sensor, like it will get off a redstone signal from a distance. A lot of people call it Wireless Redstone, which is pretty much what it is. If you put wool around certain areas, it won't send that signal that way. Yeah, you're basically The signal yeah, which is also cool. And figured I'd note that that's kind of it for the deep dark. Do you want to move on to the next segment real quick? A lot of those colors are similar to an end portal.

A lot of people are speculating that the warden might have something to do with the what it's at. The end area. Maybe what is it? Not. Not the dungeon stronghold. Yeah, can be dogs. Did mention in a tweet. Eat? What do you think it's guarding? Yeah. Like why would they name a guardian or Warden? Because a warden in layman's terms is a prison. Not a prison guard. A prison Chief. Yeah, what is it?

I got what you're saying. He runs the prison so this guy is guarding something apparently, but we don't know yet. We want to move on. Yeah, let's move on. We have little time. Lots to cover. Yes, we have the amethyst geodes. Hmm. Which Produce the crystals, which I thought were really cool. We noticed a wind chime sound gets the first thing. You noticed. Hmm. Apparently, these crystals can grow on all sides of the blocks and the blocks cannot be cannot

be removed or possibly remove. But you can't move them, you can't take them around. Yes as an item and grow these crystals elsewhere. I kind of like that. I kind of don't know. I kind of I kind of like it. They said it was similar. ER to a spawner. Yeah. I got what they're doing and what they're thinking and everything.

But I think if you ask any Farm maker, they would much rather be able to take supplies and build a farm and their own area for it. Then have to travel back and forth because you're going to be making the quickest path as possible, which more than likely is going to be another tunnel through the nether right. Straight through there. And that's it. You're not really doing any adventuring or anything like that. It's like I'm got to get from point.

A to point B and that's it. And basically, without being able to move these blocks, that makes the spot where this location is unusable for anything other than this Farm. Are they all going to be the exact same size? Are there going to be more blocks and some geodes and the other? You're gonna have to look for that perfect location where you can grow the maximum amount of crystals? I don't know. I would just be able to prefer to make my own Crystal Farm.

My one gripe about it is, it is a really cool-looking block its at Opal and it kind of looks like Starry. Yes it is a gorgeous block and you can't use it. Can't use it anywhere. You'd have some, it's got to stay there. So that's, that's one, my one gripe about it. The crystals apparently. Another thing on the amethyst geodes can make telescopes, we're getting telescopes now. Mmm, which kind of conflicts with OptiFine. A lot of people play, op defined

and a telescope. It just gives you that Resume. But without the chiti. Yeah, I don't think it's going to conflict. I know some people are saying well after 5:00 news to get rid of Zoom key now. OptiFine, please do not get rid of the zoom key because this, this thing one, I don't think to tell us who's going to get used. Just because most players that are least running Java are using OptiFine, because that like, yeah, that's how much OptiFine is loved. Granted, I mentioned my love for

sodium now. But now that I can have a Opti fabric running with replay mod and everything like that. I'm using OptiFine. Again, I find it weird that the telescope's squared but the texture is round when you look through it. Yeah that's a little HUD. You do have a circle to look through. You don't get the whole picture like you do and I'll Define

right? And that's my other gripe is that you you see so little looking through the telescope but I know that's it's more realistic than one table Define. Does and it does zoom in further than OptiFine. It feels not a guarantee, I'm not 100%. It feels like it will look further. Yeah, to me it just kind of feels like it's a Bedrock thing, right? It's another item. You're going to need to carry in your inventory and that's where I see people just saying. Nope.

OptiFine, Judy's room key. Yeah, it's great for Bedrock players. Anyone is on Console? Yes. That or have a computer that they can't get off. OptiFine on the telescope. It's going to be great for that. And there are still some Vanilla Java players that will not use Abdi fine and they're going to love the telescope. It's going to be awesome for them but for the majority of us it's going to be a it's another tool I'll never use. Yeah but that was about it for

the Crystal Caves or anything. I'm forgetting. Nah I don't think I mean crystals of cool. Yeah. Are there aren't their different stages to the crystal? I didn't see any, but that doesn't mean there's not. I could, didn't I? Be wrong. I just really wish you could move them. I understand the whole thought process behind it. And normally I might agree, but the older I got the more cynical I've become and it's like, nope. Let me go ahead and move spawner blocks.

Now, why is this not a thing? Yeah. Yeah. That won't be a thing. It'll never be a thing. Oh, there is one thing. So I would like crystals to do damage the way stalactites and stalagmites would do. Yeah. It's a pointy hard surface. So I think that could be really cool. Now, they don't have to do the same damage. I could see were stalactites and stalagmites would cause more damage, but a little prick might be kind of cool. Kind of, like how berry bushes do. Yeah.

Also crystals normally come in all different shapes and colors would be cool to get some in different colors and possibly get a block out of it. Like a crystal block that that might be to glass block though. Yeah, it might be a different glass variant which isn't I'd rather use glass to be cheaper. Yeah, we already use clean, glass textures everywhere and Mojang themselves. Has clean the glass texture up over these last couple years because they understand those

little streaks are annoying. So, I don't think anyone would want to block the ads streaks back. That's true. Wouldn't be as transparent. Mmm, another big update coming is copper, this is a new or that can be crafted into a new block will age and turn green over time just like copper doesn't In real life. Mmm. And you can craft a lightning rod out of it. So no more burning down your

wool roof. Right if you build with wool or or wood or it would also turn we turn fire took off every time we play on a server just because of lightning strikes. You can't control when other people are around your builds and it would stink to sign on in your house be gone. Mmm. Oh yeah. The aging process and exhume has video says took 16 Minecraft days. That's too. That's too short. Yeah, no. No. The way it sounded was like it would take a year and game for that to happen 6.

He Minecraft days, not enough time. Plus I really liked the orange look, I don't want it turning green especially considering is the same green as prismarine. Mmm, so once it turns green, you cannot tell the difference between a prismarine block and a copper block and this kind of leads back to To the candles that were getting how we can get, hopefully get some wax to preserve that kind of color. Maybe when it's in its middle stages, hit it with the wax and

preserve that kind of block. Yeah but we do, we do get stairs and slabs with those also. Yes, we do. Which again, why do we not have concrete stairs and slabs? The texture itself? Is it looks like the same / / texture which I'm not excited about. But I'm kind of hoping that again. Textures. It's not the final look so far. It could be the patina effect. You talked about where it was just starting to show a little bit of the green.

I love that. Yeah. And I love if we would be able to be like, okay, I love this look, I'm going to place wax on it and it will forever stay that little patina. That's great if that's possible. I take back all I'm saying about this turning green effect and I would be playing with that stuff, left and right. Yeah. Can you imagine the when, if the green copper becomes popular? Or Facebook has more use how you in order to get that you'd have to just lay them out on the

ground? And let them turn green before you can actually use that green block. Mmm. So if you were to, like, open a shop and so green copper, you'd have to, you'd have to give it some time before actually selling. Those are maintaining those blocks. Yeah, and then we have the lightning rod which as far as we can tell, only has the copper color. We never saw it change. I actually think it'll get more used as a actual lightning rod than it will a creeper Farm

tool. Yeah. And that's just because tridents are so powerful when it comes to making Charged Creeper Farms granted. It's a lot harder to get a trident than it is to get a lightning rod. Yeah, but the fact that I can go around and just smack any old creeper. I I want when I have channeling on a trident is so much nicer the you kind of, you got to get the Trident and then you got the get the enchantment. Yeah. So lightning rod will be great for AFK Farms but for me who's

just a spawn of the moment. So it's tender storming. Grab my Trident and run out there and start chucking it. Yeah, I mean, definitely, I mean, there's people already coming up with Charged Creeper Farms. I imagine with the lightning rod, I'm definitely going to try to use it as in. In that sense, you know I mean because a lot of times we play with fire take off and don't

have to worry about lighting. Yeah, so any time I'm going to use it, I'm going to try to concentrate that lightning to an area, possibly even mob Farms. Yeah, you know, maybe to kill mobs. Yeah, I'm not advocating for turning fire tick back on and no, no, no, no, no. I think the lightning rod will be a fun afterthought kind of thing. It's definitely not one of those going where I'm like, Like. Oh yeah. Oh my God. This is awesome. It's kind of like, oh, that's kind of neat.

There might be an instance where I actually use it. Yeah. And what we know now is he, it does concentrates, the lightning. We don't know if it works indoors because I know some people might want to write for a decoration and you don't want lightning blowing up your house. Thank you know you're in your living room and it strikes your I don't know your coat hanger because you have it up on the wall.

Uh-huh. I'm pretty sure that's going to be the case, you know, if it's indoors or if it has a block above it, think about iron farms and the fact that you always had to put blocks above the villagers to make sure lightning wouldn't turn them into witches now, you can put lightning rods maybe like 12 blocks away or something. Hmm. They'll strike there instead of maybe your villagers yeah, good use. Anyways let's move on because we're running out of time.

Yeah. I just want to say we don't know what level copper spawns at yet. That's true. So might be deep, it might be around the iron level I'm thinking the iron level just not as frequent and they mentioned that they were going to be in more vain like pass than blob like jazz right now or respond and a blob pattern whereas copper is going to spawn in a vein. I don't know if they're going to have that same effect on all the other or types but I'm okay with that.

I think that's going to be kind of cool. It's okay. Alright. Next part of the update. We have our Mountains, we were getting our goats. This is something they promised us a little while ago. When we voted on the mountains, we get our goats and we get our snowier snow, which is a powder snow block, and a player can sink through it. Kind of like a trap block. Yeah and a goat, they're feisty little creatures and they want to head but everything.

Yes knock you off that mountain. Hmm even other mobs. They also have a vertical way better. Other than a fox. Yeah, they got some hops they do. And this brings me back to earlier in the episode. When I said I did not like the name caves and cliffs update and that's because I didn't see a single cliff in any of this footage, right? We got it. We got to get a picture of the mountains, just one picture. Yeah, they look great.

And it looked like there is clouds in between them, so imagine they grow pretty high but yeah, no no Cliffs the mountain. Nation looked amazing. The only problem is me and bang had that same Mountain generation in common Craft season three. Hmm. We had that generation years ago using the custom land generation formula. Yeah. And so I've already used to that but when they said Cliffs I was like great I love finding a cliff and building a vertical base in it.

That's one of my top things to do for a Minecraft base and I didn't see one picture of a darn Cliff so it's very disappointed. We only saw the one picture mountains. I would have loved to Seeing mountain ranges in different biomes. As of right now I just look like snowy Taiga areas are getting mountains. Yeah. I'd love to see us a phantom Mountain. That'd be cool. Yeah. Beat it. Be real cool to implement the mountains in every biome.

Yeah, it's you mean, maybe not the desert, maybe not the desert. That's a little weird. But yeah. So next is bundles and this is the part where both me and you were right you were right in fact that you guessed cave update Mmm, and we end up getting a cave update. I was guessing. Inventory update would not so much guessing, but hoping for an inventory update and we got a little bit and bundles and the more I think about bundles, the less, I like them.

I'm going the opposite. The more I like them. The more you think about them bundles hold 64 unique items, that's it. Then that doesn't mean you can have over 60 two items in the thing. It can only be 62 or 64 at A time, I don't know why. I kept saying 62, it's only 64 items, but it can be the most random thing of all time. The only good part about bundles is that you can access it in and out of your inventory, which is awesome. You can see inside of it.

Well, that's just it. You can see inside of it, but you can't really see inside of it. You can see a representation of how, many of one item. It thinks it has right. Where again, I think the I downloaded that. Lets you see inside a shoulder box, is still better than this. And I think a bundle is just going to be random junk. Just piled in there and you can throw it to another player, right?

You don't place it down which now means that you can't sort it without emptying it. So, you know, you have to empty this thing, into your inventory, to put it away, or you're just going to have Randall. Unstackable bundles everywhere? Yeah. Or go into a chest. Yeah. Sort of through their didn't really think about that. It felt like they were trying to do a backpack, but it doesn't feel the whole inventory.

System needs a revived, and this felt like, hey, let's give it a shot of adrenaline and see what happens and it's like, oh yeah, that's cool. And then three days later I'm just like, no, no, it's not enough. So Give me an enchanted. Shulker I can access from inventory. I would rather have that than a bundle get as it, can hold way more than a pretty popular idea.

Yeah. My big thing is having swappable hotbars said this a couple times on the show and I think that fixes item inventory without changing item inventory. If you're not going to add new slots to hold weapons and tools, and bundles, or anything like that, then let me Me lay out a Hotbar, layout a hop, our layout bar, and then I can switch between these three hotbars, alt-tab or control tab or

something like that. To allow me to do a quick flip cycle through hotbars, that solves the inventory management so fast. Before I get on my thoughts of the bundle tub faint, had a great image, Tory idea of putting in a Chapman tan leggings, because leggings, you don't have any changements, hmm. Having a pocket enchantment to wear one, two, and three gives you a whole new line of inventory like nine slots per level of pocket.

So if you have a level 3 Pocket Mod on your pants, you get like a fool double chests of inventory space. I thought that was a genius idea. Have it said that the bundles, I, I'm starting to like, more and more just because of the fact, like, if someone would ever die in front of you, you have. Have all these items that you're like oh my God, I got to make a chest. I got to get this, you know,

ready for people. A lot of people, they have an Ender Chest, ready with the chakra box, that's empty to easily pick up these items, but if you have a bundle, you can just run around or even sit in the spot where they died and just pick them up and throw them in the bundle and then just throw the bundle at the player. Say, here you go. Here's all your stuff. It's all in this one thing and I was like, man, that could be useful. When I was building this flying machines, I had mine carts on

each one of them. And I always had to go back and get more Mind cards because they always took up my inventory and I can throw 64 in one of these bags and boom that I solved it. So the more I think about it, the more useful with it's getting and I I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a good bit of these. Now, I don't think it doesn't look like you can Stack Bundles either? No, yeah, it's it's own personal item. Yeah. In a Lat.

I definitely think there will be a show car box full of bundles in. Everybody's in your chest. Yes. And I think people will carry a single or double bundle on them at all times like they do a water bucket and stuff like that. Hmm, my problem is that's taking up Evan Tory space, another item. Yes. It's there to save him Tory space. Like you said, if you have Minecarts, multiple of them, they take up some space. I don't know. We'll have to see. I mean, it's still early.

It's like scratching the surface. Fists of a scab. It's not fully healed yet. You can tell I'm so frustrated with the inventory management problem, really? Hoping, it's a step in the right direction. I will give them that. Yeah, they obviously have heard our complaints and they're trying stuff. But hmm. I wanted a full-on makeover and all I got was the powder cheeks. We should probably move on. Yeah, bundles, I ranted to the bundle too much. Yeah.

The Next part. The last part we have is the archaeological archaeology and artifacts. Yes. Before I get into all, I'll explain it. First, these have dig site locations. Hmm. Do you find the brushes? They have brushes. I think you're going to craft them but they were just found at this location in the video. Okay. Yeah. It wasn't sure where the brush is game from the brushes help you find artifacts?

There was two different brush Colours that we saw, but It allows you to shave off a block that hides the artifact within the archaeology. Archeology site. Archaeology is a hard word to say, just because it's Monday, you would saying it. Fine, there is some weekend. Yeah, so these artifacts you find you can find artifacts. It looks like you can find diamond blocks in some of these blocks, but the artifacts can be used on a clay pot also.

So we're getting clay. Pots. Now, at the beginning I was going to say this kind of feels a little too modded. Yeah, to me it is it is pretty cool. It also shows me that they're trying to touch on everything like you get, you got a little bit, everything in this update. You got your Redstone, you got new blocks and you got this. Archaeology artifacts that make exploring a lot more fun. Yes. But what are your thoughts? It's I agree with you.

I don't want to grip too much because this is something I actually do like, hmm, But this update feels like a bunch of stuff that I'll play with once and that's kind of it. I think clay B could be really cool. I really do and they made sure to put out there that hey, what they look like now is just developer imagery texture artist, haven't gone, through and done anything so minded. Developer look to it. The Clay Pot looked weird, didn't feel mine crafty, felt modded.

Mmm, I don't know if you can store anything in the clay plot or Clay Pot. It would be cool if you can. Yeah, I mean as far as We Know, It's Just decoration. Yeah. Like, hey, look at my pot, I found these artifacts. It look like there is just different the artifacts look like different items. The only thing you can use them for Put them on the clay pot, right? So that's all we really know about the artifacts. Maybe it's like a collectible

type of deal. Another thing people talk about using the brushes to make gravel and dirt half slabs and everything. I don't think that's going to be possible. No me neither. I would love it to happen. Yeah. But I don't think that's what those brushes are going to do. I think if you start brushing and then you stop, I think it's going to break the artifact in there and the blocks just going

to disappear. Yeah. So because if you notice while it brushes, it's going down to pixel at a time and it would be thus I would think you'd think it'd be very difficult to have, you know, different variants of that block. Yeah. In, you know, one pixel differences everywhere it would make great for landscaping. Oh yeah, it'd be beautiful. Yeah, but we got so many great blocks for landscaping in this in this update anyway. Hmm. Again, I would love gravel half-slabs Half slabs any kind

of concrete powder, half slabs. I don't think these brushes are going to do that. Yeah, at least right now, I don't think these brushes are going to do that. Maybe, if people push it enough, they might bring it, give it to us. But yeah, as far as I can tell, I don't think it looks like the Box just going to break. Yeah, after you're done with it. Yeah. And who knows? Maybe you can't shave off any

block, you know. Maybe it has to be a block with an artifact in in it, we don't know yet very much. You could go up to any random blocks start shaving, and it doesn't do anything. But if it does start shaving, then you know there's an artifact there.

Yeah, I didn't, I didn't notice at least him shaving a block that didn't have anything in it, where you can see it personally looked at a stone block and it obsidian block and it did do anything whether they were clicking on the block or not, we don't know. Yeah, but it to me that felt like an obvious Eight. You can't do these block, only the gravel in the dirt block. Mmm, possibly saying, possibly

sand concrete powder. Yeah though I wouldn't see concrete powder being at a archeology site so never know, probably not, ya never know. I don't know why you'd be repairing clay plots and arguing she site but that they would ship that stuff to the lab. Yeah. Anyways, I'm not going to knock it too much because I think clay. A pots are really cool and I think once the texture is done correctly and hopefully it gets some kind of use, maybe it could be a good replacement to a

cauldron if you want. Yeah, I think that would be really nice. Other than that, a lot of this update. I just feel it's I'm going to visit once, get what? I need to go away the Emmett's this geodes the fact that I have to go, there doesn't make me happy. The fact that I might not be able to destroy the geode, if it's in My way of a build kind

of doesn't make me happy. Also the fact that these caves are huge and I get that's going to be awesome for exploring but as every multiplayer player knows the first thing you do when you get to your new base location is light the caves up underneath your base because it causes lag and it causes issues for your server mates. Well now these caves are ginormous yeah they're even bigger. And you got a light them up. Yep, not to mention deadlier

than ever. It could be an issue on multiplayer servers season, 2 of common craft. I keep going back to this because we've done a lot of this stuff, before we play it on a custom map, the Discworld and it had custom caves underneath it and they were huge and it looked sweet but I'll be darned if it didn't take weeks to light up every cave underneath your base. Yeah, it got to the point where I Once time I got so tired of it, I just started.

Walling off caves and said, yep, that section is going to have mob spawning it and I'll just go the other way. Di spawn, the mobs and come back, if it's that much of an issue. Yeah, I imagine a lot of people are going to go cave base ideas here for the next update. Yeah, it's a pretty excited to see. I know we're almost done but before you read us out which is something you normally say, instead of me, we are expecting. New things to develop with the new update and we're going to be

covering everything. So if you guys stay tuned and keep listening to the show, we're going to cover everything. We can give us, give you guys our thoughts and let you know if we see anything that can be improved or something that's not brought up and this is something we've talked about before.

So the Half Stack was originally supposed to be a weekly episode that me and Jimbo would do to counter snapshots See we record our show, like either Sunday night or Monday nights, and then it comes out on Wednesday, Wednesday is so we usually Miss brand new information for our show. So we were going to do quick, Half Stack episodes for patrons to listen to stuff like that. And because we started this, when there was a lot of snapshots coming out, it became

a monthly show. Well, one snapshot start rolling on 117, it will more than likely not be a monthly show anymore, but be a weekly show. Oh, that's 10-15 minutes of me and Jimbo quickly, talking about what's happening in the snapshot just like we did on the bonus episode right after Minecraft live. Yeah, still in the cards. Not a lot of editing just quick dirty.

Let's talk caves and cliffs. I'm not going to say I don't like it because I think Mojang worked hard and it's got some really cool stuff in it and it has the potential to be a really cool update. It's just not what I wanted. I can't grab it. It's like I said, it's got potential. I love the warden and the deep dark and all that, even though it's going to scare the bejesus out of me to go down there, bundles feel a little disappointment. But I like seeing Mojang listen and try. Oh yeah.

The fact that it shows that they're trying means way more than the bundle effect. Yeah, I may not like the bundles but at least I know they're working on something. And maybe the next time, it'll be exactly what I'm looking for. Or so Gigi's to them. I think this is going to be a good update. Its what people wanted for a long time, kind of needed. Yeah, a little gave update. Yeah, but this is pretty big lot bigger than I thought it would be. Yeah. All the new Mobs I absolutely love.

Yeah, I think everyone's going to love the Axolotl. I think it's pretty much already. Become the Minecraft mascot for now true, though. I'm going to have go to my base, just to knock people out. Oh, that's a good idea. But I think that's going to do it for today's show. Before Jimbo reads his house, I want to say a huge. Thank you to all of our patrons
