Hey everyone. Welcome to the weathering effect episode 79. Today's date is January 24th 2020 and I am Duds or Duds versus known to the rest of the interweb and I am Jimbo. You may know me as Jimbo slice, 23. So, how's your week been so far Duds? Ruff another one another rough week, another rough week. So putting out the traps trying to find this mouse from last week, right? Well oh yeah, no luck all week going. What the heck? Not getting it.
And finally as my last-ditch effort I got rid of the fancy bait that I purchased this gel that was supposed to romanize the air and lure the mouse into it. The trap now Forget that I went and grabbed a slab of peanut butter through it on the Trap. Put it to the side. Got that Mouse in one night though. Peanut butter trick. Yeah. Could not resist peanut butter and member. I've got like five or six straps around the house because I'm not really sure where it's at. It turns out.
It's in my office. Hmm. Which freaks me out? Yeah, I'm very much a clean person. I don't like dirty stuff, so the fact that it chose to live in my office is very confusing. It also means his whole house is getting a spray down. This one of the things me and my roommate worked on this weekend, cleaning up, sweeping all the floors, muffin on floor, spring anti, disinfectant, all that kind of stuff everywhere clean clean clean because, like, I don't want to touch surfaces.
That's how much this freaks me out. So far, we only got the one. The other traps are empty and they've been empty for days. So I'm just assuming it was the one Mouse. Yeah, you never know, could have buddies, never know, it could have buddies. That's why we kept the traps out for a couple days to make sure it's just that one guy but hopefully I sleep better now knowing that nothing's around in my house. Yeah, that helps getting rid of one at least.
Like I said, I don't think there's any more. I think our traps would have caught it anymore. There was, it's good. Also, I on an episode, I went back to shopping district. Mmm, worked on the path. Pathways and their think it did a pretty good job. I threw up a couple custom trees to. It's a little bit of train fixing. Mmm, looks a little bit more advanced. Again, I'd like some more people to be able to just jump on and connect Pathways leading to their shops and stuff.
If you took a little bit of my week, it wasn't a very busy recording week. Like I said, I've started working out again. I took the month of December off started back in January, which usually leads me during the week. I only have An hour or so during the week to really play or stuff like that. So not a lot of work got done, then Saturday, Carl. Let me know that my map District was done.
So I try to make a full black matte to cover the blue cyan role and my pig lend drop that is sticking out of the wall because it looks weird. Put the black map up forgetting that. The item frame texture on the side would not be black. Oh no, so now there's like there's a little Tad strip either. I was like, oh wait, I can make item frames invisible and then put the map on there. So I did that except now you can see the cyan through that same side.
So it was like, oh no, I did not think this through, it's a lot of work to make a black map. Yes. But three and a half hours laying down black carp and it didn't solve my problem at all. Other than that, I fixed the leak in my bases. Call it the one spot where I let water come through the Dome so I can get in and out of the Dome. Yeah, that's gone. I now have real elevators up and down. So, that's nice.
All this is in an episode that will go out tomorrow or would have come out Monday for everybody. Like I actually rendered that this morning. I woke up early came in the office, made sure it rendered before we did the podcast and other than I worked a little bit on my twitch. That's slow going because I I'm wanting to not necessarily Rebrand but new colors, new logo stuff, like that just kind of that are modernize it.
If that's the case I've used to say, logos and colors and all that theming for two or so years now, it's been my no time to update it a bit. Yeah, it's kind of it from my week. How about you, what you've been doing this week? I've also been doing a little bit of recording. Wasn't able to get the episode out. This Like I wanted to hadn't been playing as much, but I did get on there this week and our I've got like eight minutes recorded or something like that,
in my episode, nice. And the reason is, is I'm making my own auto storage system. Those aren't easy to make by yourself. No, I last year, I use the Tango Tech design that sort of everything for me and Mix it with the impulse SV, bulk storage. I'm going to do something similar this season, except I'm going to have more chests and I went ahead and tried to do my own auto storage system. I thought I was like getting somewhere and then realize I wasn't.
So I went ahead and started with the impulse SV. Bulk storage for now, and if I think of anything I'll go back to the auto sorting part. If I can't come up with anything, I'm just going to use the Tango detect. Designed it fits in there. Perfect. And it should look good by the time it's done. But I had I just had to go ahead. Run my big mouth and say, I'm going to do my own Redstone, so I least Gotta Give it. Yeah. Honest attempt. Try to do it myself.
I get the idea. It's just running the red stone, and if I'm going to run Redstone, it's probably going to be everywhere, probably going to be sloppy. It's going to be bulky and it probably won't even fit, but I'm still trying it. I have some things in my auto test or my Redstone world that are that's going right now and it's not looking good. It's not looking good at all. So that's kind of been holding me up but that'll be my next episode. Should be able to explain all
that then. Yeah, but I did, I did end up getting new speakers for my computer. Get some Choose the 99 dollar Bose speakers really popular nowadays. Mmm, great sound quality. Awesome, my speakers, I bought broke. I bought the same. Same kind of speakers because they fit. Perfect with my setup. Everything was perfect. So I bought them again and they broke again. I'm not, you know, fool me once. Shame on me or has it Go fool me.
Fool me once shame on you, I don't know, but it fooled me twice and I went for a new better brain. Yeah, it's fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice. Shame on you or something? Yeah. No, it's the other way. I didn't. Wasn't too sure how that would, but now it's the other way. I figured it was the old stew early to be thinking about this stuff. I know. That's why I stopped. I know I got fooled twice. That was it explain it, but
yeah, I got some new speakers. I got some other things coming in for the setup. I do want to change my setup from on Naruto theme to a Raiders theme. Mmm, because I have some memorabilia. I like to put up and it should go with my setup. Nice. That's how my week went. Yeah, very slow week. Kind of goes with me talking about it. The pre-show about how there's slow content on YouTube to. Yeah, it's like yeah, I wish there was more. I'm looking for more.
I wish I could put more time into making more content. Myself life life, gets in the way for everyone. You have thinking to expand from Minecraft. Craft a little bit. Do another series. Mmm. Just to avoid burnout. Yeah, a little bit. I mean, my base is so big. It's kind of burning me out a little bit. I get back in there. I got to make a sword system that have to make up myself and yeah it can it can burn you out a little bit so light, switch it up a little bit.
Do some other series. What games do you plan on doing a series for mainly survival? Seven days, raft in scrap mechanic Scrap mechanic. That's what I was looking for waiting on that. Anyways, let's get to it. Everyone is here to listen to ballot and that's the news because we have news this week there was a new snapshot. Yeah. Pretty good.
Yeah, snapshot 21w 03a. Those numbers and letters don't get easier to read every time they've added the glow lichen and glow squid seems like we're going to be getting some new light sources, right, right. Right. Right. Would you like to go ahead and talk about the glow lichen? Yeah, the glue, like in is a dim lit, or dim light source that generates in caves, you shears, to pick it up, use bone meal to spread it along.
Block surfaces. Now, these are blocks that are adjacent to the one, your bone melee. Yeah. And it doesn't look the greatest, it's a passable style. I'm going to say block, you know, it's not a block. It basically is just a weirdly colored Vine from what I can t. See in the pictures and stuff. Light level doesn't get above 7. No.
Yeah. So you can't use it to stop mob spawning which to me basically makes us useless unless you live on a mushroom Island. Yeah, I mean it'd be fun to play with the lighting and stuff but a lot of places you can't afford to play with it, right? It's hardly noticeable. Except for that guy. Glow. I mean, you can't really notice it that much mmm. And like, you said, it's kind of transparent.
You can't really. It doesn't interact with the player besides the tip box but you can pass right through it. Mmm. Yeah. I think that's going to be the theme of this is just the let down because one thing we've been clamoring for is new light sources and we got excited when we got candles but even candles only go to a light level of 12, which is not great. It's not bad, but it's not great. And then we got the glow squid. So we're like Yay, more light
sources. And then we got this glow lichen like yeah, we're light sources. Now we're seeing glow, like and doesn't really produce much light, which kind of stinks and brings us to Glow squids. I'm going to go over the glow squids. Before I talk about me, bundling them. One thing to mention is at least we got something out of it. Go glue squid, If this is true, instead of getting just ink which some people speculated we might just get ink just like the regular ones.
So we're kind of getting something different, at least so glow screws have been added to the game but they don't spawn naturally, you got to go into the creative menu, find the spawn egg, and then you can spawn go squids, which their texture is very good texture. I love looking at the glow. Squids, glow, squids are well, lit, and could be seen from very far distance. Don't understand their wording. I had to change it to fit my work. When killed glows squids drop glow ink.
Sacs glow ink sacs can be used on signs to make text super visible. Even at night, works with colors, you can craft a glow item frame by combining a glow ink sack with an item frame and a crafting table. Any item in a glow item frame is perfectly illuminated even at night, use an ink sac on a sine term room to remove the glow effect. T', Ox a lot has will attack any glows kids they see so be very careful, the item frame, the glowing item frame to me is really cool.
Yeah, from what I can tell though, it does not produce any light, right? It's just illuminate the sign itself. So you can't make a glow item frame and it shine in a hallway and light up your hallway. That doesn't work. Yeah. Yeah. These are light sources are just the glowing effect, correct. Which is It's going to be very useful. That's where I kind of get let down, because I was extremely excited, hoping that we'd be able to craft these crazy nice light sources.
And we can't, I'm not saying what they've done is bad. I like the idea of the glowing item frame. Nothing that's going to be kind of cool that glow ink on the signs to make the science brighter to me. Just feels like a way to get around bad texture because we've all seen. You try to make a dark Coke sign. The first thing you do is you go
grab a White die. Died on the sign because you can't read the text unless it's a super bright white and I feel this was just a way to kind of make up for missing on that. Yeah, it's almost like a neon, it change it to like, a neon glowing color. Yeah, I like it. And if that's the case, I'd like to be able to add glow, the glow ink to any dye and make a neon dye. Yeah, so you can have that effect on anything. How cool would that be to have neon terracotta.
Oh yeah. You see all these people building cyberpunk builds, you don't really have any kind of neon coloring. Here we go. Yes. Some of them, you can call neon. I guess they are bright enough but yeah, you don't get to fool neon effect. What about changes? Yeah we got a quite a few of those. Drip stone blocks, can be crafted from four-pointed dripstone, a couple bug fixes mob suffocate /. Go through blocks When growing up near a solid block and mobs cannot spawn and dripstone caves.
Now, this last one, did they fix that? Or is that the way it's supposed to be with the dripstone caves? I think that's a fix. So mobs can spawn and dripstone caves. Now, let's hope it to be like a, like, a safe haven. I know, right. That's what I was open and we're obviously gonna be talking about light sources later and I think the root to all of Mojang's light sources, Our light source problems revolves around mob
spawning. And it's like I get, it's a very fundamental part of the game, but for people who are playing for over a year, on a single world, we need some kind of in-game to fix the mob spawning issue where we don't have to constantly spam torches everywhere. We don't have to constantly hide lighting behind a piece of carpet or a trapdoor or something.
We keep hearing the, they want you to use Use your creativity to get around these obstacles when and I hate that it it feels like it's just a reason not to do something instead of well I need Mojang to user creativity to get around this obstacle. It's definitely meant to be an obstacle. Try to light up everything and trying to get everything, more proof as it is. That's definitely an obstacle as it is. I had another point and now it's
gone. Yeah. And that's the way the show's feel like it's going today. It's every time I try to think about something, it just pops right out of my head and I can't put two cohesive thoughts together in one phrase. Yeah, once I think of something new, the other ones gone, it's gone. If I have something in my head and I'm like, oh, what about this? The other thought. See, it's gone. It's such a lack of sleep this
week. It's, it's really starting to physically hurt me. Yeah, sleep helps, I don't know, and it doesn't Doesn't help 117 wasn't an update. I've really been looking forward to to me is it's going to be what bees and bugs was for you. It's just a passing update. Hmm, it is what it is. It doesn't matter. It's coming to the point where 117, the one thing I'm looking forward to more than anything is dripstone lava sources.
Mmm, it's like, that's like one of the smallest parts of the update but that's the part I'm most excited for I've, every time I build a farm, I need Lava source for my overflow. And I get sick and tired of having to walk all the way to the nether, find a lava pool. I don't want to make look stupid with the flowing. You know what? I'm talking. Every time you go. You dip your bucket in lava. Now you got those weird little patch a lava that never refills. It's like well I don't want to
do that. Where I'm constantly seeing it because this area, the nether looks good. Why would I want to make it look bad by stealing lava in this spot? I've got a hunt down a random spot. I'll never see again to still lava from or go thousands of blocks away to get a book. Get a lava, right? It's like I live. Why would I do that? Most people don't, they just have a bucket. They're not like me. They're not weird like me. No, I do.
I'd like to see more Warden. I'd like to see more of the deep dark. That's kind of. The only other thing I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes out of it. I think that area for me at least we'll I explore it one time and then I'm done unless Is a nice loot reward down there. Yeah, which I kind of doubt. We're seeing this time and time again. The endgame loot is not great right now.
I feel in cities are the best loot, just because Ashoka boxes in Electra. They do have quite a bit of diamond gear in there, which is nice for backup with many going on with men, hang on. So, I'd like to see that kind of loot make its way into the deep dark. I have a speculation. Ation. I think it would be cool if they made a new specific music disc for the deep dark kind of like, how bastions have pig step?
Yeah, it'd be nice for them to come out with a new disc for the deep dark, just so you can get that one unique item from there that you can't get anywhere else to make it worth, going down in there or other items a disc. Would I'd be okay with that? If it sounded good? Yeah, it is hard to Pete with big step, would it be a creepy disk? Hmm. What would, what would the warden, but would his music be like banjo?
Yeah, you do. Well, you think I don't know, being a warden, like, a cop, sheriff type of. That's what you think of. Maybe you get like a western disk. Yeah, I would go more creepy and hotly and it's hardly a word hauntingly. It is now it's a word now, Now it's weird now. Easy Like Sunday Morning, pools, are we make up words now? Ask the way. The brain works man. Yeah, it could be something like that. You have those discs and I don't I don't feel feel like they're
all that useful, you know. There's like haunted sound disk. Yeah. I like something with a little bit of beat, I do too. I don't use music discs at all and I think it's a shame. I would love to be able to have a machine that could Cycles through music discs. So, so you could have lots of music playing at your base at all times. Yeah. I think that would be great but you can't do that. You it's one at a time. Stone. I kind of hate that. Yep, we're kind of moving off
topic a little bit. Well, I didn't want to talk bad about glow squared glow liking because I don't think what they come out with is bad. I think it's very fine. I think I got my expectations too high and it was my fault, hoping for more light sources and just to find out, there are no new lice forces. Well, there is a glow Like in. But it's so dim. It's not going to not going to have a lot of uses. It's not the prettiest.
I do. Like the fact that you know, they give us a dim source which isn't all that great. But it's, it's used in multiple different ways, you know, with the signs and the lettering and the item frames at least you could do that. Well, I mean, that's glowing glowing produces, no light, yeah glowing. There's no light coming off that Source, right? It's not like a light source, but it Do something else besides a light source. Yeah, that could be upsetting.
I said the glowing I'm not disappointed in. I got my hopes a little too high. Hmm. But when you look at it being able to do the item frames to me is huge and I will fully take advantage of that the glow like in is when I'm disappointed in the okay, why light level 7? Why not at least ten or eight even eight on spawnable. But yeah, it's also it's all spawnable but but You think there is a hitbox maybe nothing can spawn on it? Kind of like a carpet but like a
carpet. You actually go up a pixel. Yeah. One when walking on it this you kind of walk through it. So it's probably spawnable unless I give it the what I call the quote-unquote Redstone tag that stop cider or mobs from spawning on top of it. Yeah that'd be the only thing you can really do. Yeah. It's true thinking about liking it'd be kind of cool if it pulls test so if the light source was pulsing we Have that with candles, right? We saw that in the trailer for Minecon Candlelight isn't
necessarily a sturdy light. Now, I want to say the light sources When you're counting out how far away, you need to be to have light level of such and such that stays the same, but visually the light source kind of flickers a little bit. How would it cool? Would it be of glow like and kind of pulsed? I think that's the thing in real life I'm not sure. I got to look up more glow like and stuff in real life to see if anything would transfer Her over. Yeah, I didn't know glow, like
and was a real thing, but yeah. You think it doesn't give you, you know, the light source that you want at least not in our case. No, yeah, it'd be cool to give it a little animation. Even if it did pulse. I mean, you're, you're not getting the light level you want. Anyway, so you might as well give it that animation. Yeah, like maybe it goes 2724 in just slightly pulses, that way. Yeah, I mean, if you're not going to make it, stop spawns. Give it.
Kind of cool effect. At least they might find a new new life somewhere else because obviously we're not going to be using it to light areas of you know unless you're on a mushroom biome. Then disregard all of this and go ham. There is a cool thing that the glue like and does is you can actually put a bunch in one block. That's true to where you can actually like, hit the corners and technically in there in the same block, but that one block you can fit like in on all this.
Sides. Yeah. In one block area so that's a cool feature in, right? That's super cool and I wished that doing that would amplify the light value. Technically you could do you could put glow liking on six sides of an AIR block, right? Hmm, imagine timing that 7 by 6 and that's your new light value coming out of that block. Hmm, how crazy that maybe it would be the most powerful light source in the At that point. Yeah. I think we're onto something.
And I mean this is a snapshot things are things are going to change. I don't like the light value of 7. I kind of wish it was a little higher but dating in Seoul fires stuff sits at 10:00. And to me, that's not very useful either unless you're trying to play with dark lighting and stuff. Yeah. Candles, if you stack them in one area you get more light. As you add a candle. You think it would work with the Lycans? Also, if you stack them in one block. Well yeah. Yeah, there's a precedent.
So like see pickles candles maybe glow like and could do something like that. Be very cool. Hmm. Yeah. I like to see that. Good idea. Yeah. Anyways let's let's move on. We do have a listener comment this week the comment says anyone else. Think Mojang is going to do something more with crystals. I feel like there is a huge opportunity for that Spyglass is okay. But maybe a blank, any ideas and this is from Vic 71 on our Discord and this whole episode is going around light sources.
I want, do light sources, please give me something. Well, I was thinking about crystals and I look these up a while ago, different crystals and stuff. Quartz crystal is probably the most popular Crystal and that's actually what they look like in the game is a quartz crystal, but we have courts in the game already. We already have courts. Yeah.
So it's kind of, I don't know. No, that kind of conflicts with everything, the quartz crystal, help your Watcher run, which probably what gives us the daylight centers from the courts. You figure, these crystals could be able to use that same function for like daylight sensors, or stuff like that, because I feel like the courts were supposed to be crystals in the Nether and now we have crystals. So it's kind of conflicting each
other just a thought. I Yeah, for me, if they're going to do anything with daylight sensors, it's fixed the daylight sensors. Yeah. Why is the night cycle so much different than the daylight cycle? They don't work like, you would think they work which is a little weird and maybe that's just my own fault for not fully understanding daylight sensors. But when you're, when you're on the outside looking in, you
would think a daylight sensor. Oh, it's night time turn the night sensor on Light turns on and it's daytime turns off and it doesn't do that, it puts out a certain Redstone signal and I just remember going back to last season trying to build a clock that did both daylight and nighttime. And the fact that the Redstone signal length varied greatly depending on day, or night was a little weird. So, I don't know I had, but I don't know if maybe Moon cycles.
Anything to do with that. I know ZF has built a much better version than mine. I don't know how accurate his has, but to me fixed daylight sensors before. Anything else. This is the first year I've actually mess with daylight sensors and they confuse the crap out of me. Just the first time I used it. They are rough. You noticed at least this season, I've noticed that there's not just a night and day
cycle. There's yeah you know, like all through the day this This thing gets a different signal length and you know, we know that because a decoys self playing piano, it goes off all the time. When it's just a time, it's just the timing throughout the day. It's going to hit a new. I don't know. And hit a new pulse. So yeah, it's definitely different ways that works. You would think that would work out great in building.
A redstone clock. Mmm. Because obviously different times a day puts out different Redstone signals, which means you Appropriately. Put a clock but it doesn't move proportionately. Which is very weird. That what if you use the crystals instead of the courts to make a daylight sensor and it worked the way you wanted it to work. Then three daylight sensors are still broken but now we have a new daylight sensor. Yeah, you have to, I would stay
away from daylight sensors. If they're doing anything with those, fix the old one, we have now or at least make it more intuitive to use, because it feels like you got a breakdown and See the code to really fully understand how these things work. Yeah. And again that this could be me just being dumb, that would kind of, we started talking about daylight sensors but we've the question was, you know, is there any other item you could use these crystals for? We have the Spyglass like they
mentioned. I really well there's the tinted glass. You can use it for I expect more. Yes you know with the crystals? Honestly I couldn't tell you what. Stare would be, that could really change the the game. I've got two ideas, okay? One is a mirror block. And I get there are limitations to this game and this probably exceeds the limitations at least for now. I think there's some r-tx that has the ability to do this.
Yeah. But if we could create a mirror block using the crystals that would be really cool and also creating a new light source by may be Being a beacon with crystals. Could amplify kiss Beacon right now is one of the brightest light sources in the game at light level 15. So imagine amplifying that using crystals that could produce maybe twice as much. Maybe it goes to 30, maybe just does five more, I don't know. But like I said, the whole theme for this episode light sources.
I think that's something that's very underestimated than I think. Should be taking a look at. We've got a couple in the nether. We're getting a couple of this time. I don't think it solves what people are looking for. Probably not, probably not, but yeah, thanks for that Havoc 71 that comment was for our Discord in our Discord is the only place where you could talk to everyone who works in the show, easily, just take Highland Lions word for it.
Hi everyone, I'm Island lying, if you've been thinking about joining Discord for a while, that was a great time to get involved. It's the best place to share your ideas for future podcast topics. Take part in our mending Minecraft, vote, and share your Minecraft Builds with the community joined today, by following the link, in the show notes. Thanks for the Discord. Add Highland line. Speaking of the Discord is the only place you can get involved in armed ending Minecraft vote man.
Carl we work that that would just sounded very weird coming out of my mouth new script. If you guys haven't been able to tell. So work in progress this week, we asked you guys to choose one of three structures, the structures where the swab hunt ruined portal, or Pillager Outpost and the winner of mending Minecraft vote this week is Swampert. Carl did me a big favor and putting the vote tally down. Nice to. He's got that going for him. Gigi Carl the Swampert had 38
votes. Ruined portal with 8 and Pillager Outpost with 11 as a landslide. Not even close. Yeah, pretty much took off. I got a few things on the swamp cut. They were Generally which Huts by the way swamp cuts are generated structures that have the ability to spawn witches and black cats. They generate rarely in swamp, biomes the inside of your swamp, hunt consists of an empty,
cauldron, a crafting table. And if flower pot with a red mushroom in it, in Bedrock addition The Cauldron generates with a random potion inside of it in random amounts, these potions in Clues include swiftness, slowness weakness, healing, and And water, breathing fire resistance night vision, and harming. Have a rare chance of being spawn and rarely The Cauldron may contain a splash potion.
That's pretty cool. It's very cool to know all that about the Bedrock. Yeah, the one thing that I think Bedrock does have over java is there cauldrons? Their cauldrons are way cooler. Oh yeah. They work way better. And I'd like to see that bring moved over like they've had lava cauldrons for forever. Lava quadrants again that's another cool light source to have a glowing cauldron. I mean, come on. Yeah, we have this now. Well, we'll have those.
Yeah, we will and 17 but to improve the swamp untie. Have I been calling her witch hut? The God is like I haven't words or super hard either either or yeah. More potions. And again this is mainly for Java stuff. The fact seeing Bedrock has all these potions and stuff that that should be. Be an obvious thing to do in Java. Yeah, again, I don't know why. Java doesn't have it if, if we can make lava into cauldrons. Now, why can't we do other stuff into cauldrons?
Kind of makes sense. I'd also like more ingredients to be put in the swamp hunt. Obviously, the swamp hunt itself need to redesign needs a little update. Kind of like they did in the village is not too much but just a little touch. So that'd be very nice find an actual Each in the Hut. I guess my calling it swamp hunt. It doesn't swamp hunt swap height. It doesn't guarantee there's a witch in there but we all know which is be living in there. Yeah. Sometimes you catch em in there.
Sometimes you don't sometimes but it would be nice to observe least everyone in there. Yeah. They might be a way out doing which stuff, which you business. I thought about doing a black cat in the Hut but I was singing. I won't be. If you're building a which Farm now does this black cat mess with? On rates and stuff like that, we already have that problem with iron golem Farms spawning cats. So it's like, I'd rather not play with that suspicious. Do should be what a? Which eats?
Mmm, give another purpose for suspicious do. Let's see, the final thing that I thought was the biggest thing is, I felt there should be a witch's Journal, just, just a normal book inside this Hut, but one that you can't write it at one, that's already been saved and all that good stuff. Of and the wishes Journal writes down how to make each potion. Hmm. And a special way, so that way characters, who are new players who are just learning the game, can stumble upon this. Witch hut.
May not know so much about potions or now you've walked in a hut. That's got all the ingredients everywhere. Not all the greens but a lot of ingredients everywhere, probably a brewing stand on the side, maybe The Cauldron has potion already in it. Now, you have this journal that sitting on a lecture. And then you can flip through and I'm like, oh, these are how I make potions easier. The ingredients, I need stuff like that. And that's a very cool Keepsake
item. Yeah. And I think would go good for people who build potion brewing rooms and machines and stuff. How cool would it be to have a witch's journal with the recipes right there for you and stuff? So you don't have to cost like go outside of the game and look online. It's like, I don't know how many times I've done that. Yeah, I'll forget a sec. What, what is it? Vision potion again that are golden carrot or is the glistening melon. It's got to be the golden carrot, right?
I have that trouble with the night vision all the time. It's always. I don't know. I always seem to forget how to make it even today. Thinking about can't think about how to make it. Yeah. And Potions are just one of those things we don't use enough of. Yeah so it'd be nice to have something like that. Mainly for the Memento you get least for me because I've still not a potion guy. I have some Especially fire potion in the nether, nowadays it, depending on what I'm doing.
Now, take some potions with me, I just don't ever think about it. Yeah that's if it comes to mind there's there's certain things I take potions for and mainly you know for underwater adventures that's about it. If I want to show to show a Build-Off from a height, slow falling be good for that. But yeah, it's just there's just too many times where I forget that I have these potions. Help exactly. But yeah, that's, that's meaning, Minecraft improving the soil punt.
Okay. Never mind Jimbo has, I thought you were going to end it there. I do want to say with the swamp cut, the witches spawn in a 7x9 area and I don't like that. No, I build a which form the season and I feel like a nine by nine or even a 7x7 You can even go a little smaller, you know, this would, I don't know. It makes it a lot easier to build around know I've built around this thing and it kind
of, I don't know. Messes with the room a little bit, you know, if you if you want everything symmetrical. Yeah, it'd be nice to have a 9x9 platform instead of a 7 by 9, it just bothers me that just bothers me, okay? But you might have to change the whole witch hut because it's a 7x9 type of build. Well, we talked about The the hood itself needs a redesign obviously. Yeah, I'd agree with that. Maybe more like overgrown and
rugged type of deal. Yep. I'm loving mending Minecraft. I like how we're moving off items and onto other random things I'm looking ahead for episode 80 because like I said Carl's got these things planned way in the head and I bet I can already guess the winner not going to tell you guys what it is. You'll have to wait till Thursday or You're listening to some Friday, the votes. Probably up. Yeah. Cause like that stop saying stuff like that because if I'm late now I'm held accountable
and stuff inside out. Well well well everyone looks forward to meeting Minecraft. Hmm I look forward to it. Yeah especially so we can never guess which way you guys are going to vote as much as we say we do. Like I just said last week or next week I know what you guys are going to pick. I bet, I'm wrong.
Yeah, I mean, I would have picked swamp cut but The ruined portal and pillage, our Outpost that loss this week, definitely use a little Lu Improvement also so this will be up for a vote later on. I'm sure they're not out of the out of the woods yet. Nope. Anyways, our topic, we've been saying it all episode light sources. Yes, what's going on with light sources? It's one of the things.
Like last night, I was trying to build a Lamppost for inside my bass bass, the bridge that spans my base. Face. I was like, I don't want to put some Lamppost here in here and I was just like, oh nothing looks good, at least in the way I want. So it's like the light sources and game either Focus.
Extremely well. What I want to call retro or extremely modern and if you're looking for something in between you're kind of looking at glowstone seal and earn or shroom light, those feel like the in-between lights, don't get me wrong, those lights are fine, the ceiling. Is my favorite just because it's the easiest to blend into any kind of situation. Yeah, shroom light to me is the best looking out of all of them but kind of needs to be picked and choose where to place glow stones.
Just ugly and I will always put something in front of the glass. Sounds something really mean, well, and we have redstone lamp and Redstone lamps are really nice. And I think they're definitely one of the better looking light sources, but it's a fact that a redstone lamp takes more than Or than a single block space to use because obviously, you have to power it, somehow. Yeah. Don't forget the Jackal later Jacqueline and I see I forgot about the jack-o'-lantern. Those are probably your
cheapest. Yeah, if you want to, you know, a block light source full block. Yeah, there's a definitely the way to go for cheap not for looks if done, right? If you if you have a pumpkin farm that's definitely a very cheap thing to do and to meet the way to At fixing lighting is not giving us more options for say even though on the surface. That's what it is. We need more options. And so, look at why we want more lighting sources, and to me, I
at least in my opinion. Again, everyone has different opinions, everyone builds differently, everyone plays the game differently. For me, it's getting rid of mob spawning. You, if you walk through my base, you will very rarely find a single Block with a light level of 9 or below like everything's tenor up. Just because I'm so paranoid a mob spawning and it's not because I'm scared to mobs and everything like that.
It's because I'm scared of creepers blowing up redstone contraptions that took me an hour to build, and you also got to consider like, lighting things up. That might be just a little bit beyond your build because his creepers will find their way from the dark into the light where you are. Exactly. So you gotta Take account of that or the Enderman, I've got a huge Enderman problem this season and I can't figure out why they just love my base getting into my base and it's
very annoying. And I've made my chin on how I would fix stuff like this with the beacon effects. And I still think that's the best. Way to defer mob spawning is by using Beacon effects, but I kind of want to take advantage of in another. We've got the different mushrooms now, right. You The warp fungus and the Crimson fungus and the Warped fungus kind of scares away piglets and hog lens, right? And I thought that the man that's a really cool effect.
What if there's a light source that kind of does that for Overworld mobs, like maybe the soulfire torture soulfire, campfire kind of Acts that way, kind of mobs, will spawn near it and stuff, but they see it and they kind of move away from it. We have a little bit like that with creepers and cats. I think skeletons and dogs does the same thing. Yeah, but what if light sources could do that?
I'd be kind of cool, right? I like the idea of the Soul fire doing that because it's really, you know, not worth much as a light source. Give it another action, you know, maybe repels mops. Yeah, or maybe just like the undead mobs something. Yeah, it's much as I want. More light sources and more unique light sources, the n Rod since they've changed the base, From that / / texture to gray is extremely useful. Awesome texture.
I can't wait for candles. I wish they were a little brighter but I kind of understand why, candles aren't writer makes sense. This room, light is another recent one that I went. First look, I went. Oh, it's just a very textured glowstone, and then when you really look at it, it's a lot nicer than glowstone and it's definitely one of my top favorites, but it's a little tough to get Farming. The nether trees is not the
greatest. I It easier just to fly thousands of blocks out from everyone and just DeForest the nether. Yeah, I lost where I was going with this but unique light sources is great, but functionality is even cooler. I agree with that. I was looking at the modded Community for light sources and I found something from a mod called Greg's lighting mod and they use a flood light, which can project light 64 blocks. Without Finishing brightness as like.
Oh, that's so cool. Yeah. It's different to have one block that can light up an area like that. I think I think that's a great thing and I would say make it expensive, make it use. What is another star or something like that. So it's only an in-game item. I think Mojang focuses so much on early game. That later game. I don't think they purposely bypass it especially when you look at like shoulder boxes and Elijah.
Those are later game items and then they've changed the game forever, but later came light sources. Maybe to flood light, maybe Beacon effects, something like that. Just get some more functionality in there. That's the stuff. I get super excited for. Yeah, there's one thing I had on light sources and this has been brought up many times and that's colored lighting, you get a little taste of it in the r-tx, but yeah, it's not implemented in The game itself.
I was thinking I didn't want to say it earlier during The Listener comment but crystals and using the tinted glass, seems like that would be a cool way to play with colored lighting. Also released a natural way to play with colored lighting. Yes they say well with the tinted you know no light source can go through it, I don't know. Even like regular glass you kind of get that.
Like let's say you have a sea lantern, you put a red glass block in front of it. You kind of get the red light But it doesn't, I don't know, it doesn't project that way. No, you could see it, it looks reddish. But it doesn't project on your build that way. That's all limitations in the hardware and software and stuff like that, right? That's why the r-tx is able to do that because it pushes hardware and software further than normal. But it can only really do that
for the Bedrock version. I don't know what it would take to do that on the Java version. I'm not a developer at coder and it could be that it will never be able to happen on Java version which is a little disappointing. But it is what it is. But I'm with you. I'd love to see colored lighting whether that'll be any time soon or not. I don't know.
Yeah, I think you're right out the gate, play it on, giving us that and it's not so much that they can give us that, it might be. That the game physically can't do that at least in its state now. Yeah, and they kinda again that you know, they want you to use your imagination to do it yourself and you Technically do it but it just it doesn't look the same.
The look is so much different in RTX when you have like a red light shining through the room turn in everything, just a little bit red-tinted just gives it. Another different feel. It's beautiful and I would want it. Maybe there's a Shader pack that can boost that a little bit but I get it. I understand why it's not in the game but it is definitely one of the top. I requested things to be brought to the game. Yes, Ximena is there another light source you can think of that could be added.
Let me, we're going to get, we got our what glowing Vines are getting those. We have the the Lichen, mmm, blow likin, what other light source are we getting are forgetting one? Well, I mean, we're getting candles candles. They talked about glowberries and least in the trailer. I don't know if lichen is now. Replacing the glowberries or if that's still going to be a thing, but glowberries will put off. Light are those? The vines think those are the
same. They're the vines with the little orange has attached to it. Yeah. Okay, but we haven't really heard much of those from the snapshot, so I don't know if they're still in there or not, it's just pictures. Just the one trailer and stuff member snapshots, everything changes. So the stuff we're talking about right now, could be totally Different in a week. Yeah, be nice to use those berries off the vine if you could. Yeah, that would give you another light source if possible.
Well, they have this little at least in the trailer. There's this little Bush that it looks like the dead Bush but with actual Leaf attached to it. Hmm, and if you could make a glow berry bush that produced light, that would be cool to that'd be another cool unique light sources. That could maybe act like the worked fungus and repel Bob's just saying. Yeah, instead of actually hiding sources under your bush. You can make the bush itself a light source. Mmm.
That's pretty cool. Yeah, helps hiding light sources. Lighting things up very much, but we're getting a late on time. Yeah, II think it was going to be but as we ran would on a little bit, it took, I'm so sorry guys. It took our brains a little bit to get started today both. And Jimbo had have extremely rough weeks. At least I know me for sure in the sleep pattern. I think I averaged three hours a night for most of this week.
