Hey everyone. Welcome to the weathering effect episode 84 today's date is February 28th 2021 and I am dead. You're dead versus known to the rest of the interwebs now I'm Jim Bell. You may know me as Jimbo slice, 23. So, how's your week been so far? That's long. Wrong. Then the weekend short. Yeah them weekends always seem to go by pretty fast. Yeah, well man. So most of the week this week I've had a lot of stuff to do outside of work.
So I haven't been able to do much recording and I was like, ah, I'll just save it for the weekend. We'll get it done then and come the weekend. I'm over here like I'm only halfway done with this video. What is going on? I'm working on a villager trading Hall and my biggest problem was yesterday. No, Friday night, I stayed on rather late trying to come up with a design. So, originally, I had an idea for an entrance for my base, but the entrance required.
A lot of Courts. I was like, I don't have a way to get a lot of quartz. What are two ways to get courts? You had the pig latin bartering. Well, that means I need to build a gold fire. Yeah, I think I'm not doing that. So that was like, the other way is villager trading. I was like, well, I want to have one of those in my base anyways, so I'll go ahead and work on that. Designed a villager trading Hall in my head, I should say. And went, put it in game and I
went, and this is ugly. So it's like, mmm. All right. That's three hours worth of work for nothing. Time to start over. Oh no, I've been there. Yeah so I ended up coming up with a design about two hours before my stream day on Saturday or stream time. So I was able to do the bulk of work on stream. I put that into a time-lapse. Apps, which actually came out pretty good? I was pretty happy with that time lapse. I was kind of worried about it, but it came out good.
The room itself is come out, really, really nice. I used a Mesa style palette as I'm calling it a lot of terracotta. A lot of oranges. I use, stripped acacia wood as over my offset colors, I would have never thought I would use stripped acacia wood, but I didn't, and it looks really good. I like it. Yeah, we were watching you live, and You didn't have your best counting day that day. I did not kept tearing it down and moving things around because the counting is counting ability.
Wasn't there? No. And anyone who watches the time lapse in the episode, if you pay close attention like you have to look for it. I was able to get that time lapse to move so smoothly that you can't tell an entire wall is off by one. Mmm. I was able to do the time lapse in a way. You have to know when it happened. You had to be in stream too, noooo. Okay. When he got this far that's when he realized the wall was off and he had a tear it down and rebuild it.
Don't worry guys, I'll time stamp it in the video in the comments everyone can see it. Hmm. And I was kind of proud of that you know hiding my inability to count till Jimbo called me. Uh yeah I just know, everyone knows everyone knows I can't count to ten. Sorry it went as I can't. Read. So we're even we're just, we're just the epitome of Brilliance, aren't we? Mmm, put us together and you have a third grader if you barely get in Minecraft shoot.
What about you have as your week actually built and completed my flower farm that I was making in the swamp. I know how does that thing work? Dude, Here's my thought. Go in creative mode. I'm like, okay, got a bone meal, this grass to get the flowers. That's how you do it. Hmm? So put the dispenser underneath of it, it would boom, me a one time you give it a pulse, boom. Well no bone meal, three times, bam, bam bam.
Yeah and it would only go off once because once you bone meal that block, it'll only bone meal that block. Like it'll bone meal that grass that piece of grass. Yeah. So I would have to break my thought. I would have to break whatever grows there real fast. Fast with it. So I needed two signals on both ends, one to dispense the, the bone meal, and the other one to break it as its dispensing, and it freaking worked. I timed it up.
Perfectly to wear, both of these are going off at the exact same time and it's growing and breaking it which produces more grass. Mmm, all in all. So, I'm hitting it three times with bone meal and flushing it down the drain. If if you guys happen to see, This Farm, it's definitely different. I wasn't trying to be different or unique. It was just the first thought in my head and I got to work. So I just rolled with that. It's it's pretty unique though.
I'm pretty proud of. It doesn't take up too much room either or it's crazy because we both built Flower Farms and season. And my first thought was like you said when you bonemeal the grass obviously you're not going to be able to bone meal anymore because the grass is there. So it's just going to bone meal that one piece of grass. They were my first thought was again. How do I get Rid of this grass. And I went to the shifting floor
method. So I just looked for somebody who had a shifting floor farm, mmm. And basically, he took the essence of how that worked and built it into a way where I could functionally use it the way I wanted to. Yeah, you were just like, no, I'm gonna smack that one block until this Farm. Does what I want? Imma beat it into submission, I'ma beat it till it works. That's what happened. And I was, I had the bread soon all over place.
I got my items splitting. Perfect like this, this Redstone episode couldn't have gone more perfect. Like I've had a lot of fails this year. This one was my highlight, but it was, it was a lot of fun. I watched you build this thing and I was like, there's no way in the world. This is going to work first, try and then it did. Yeah. They had no business working, it'll probably break your suit, but if you guys want to check it out, you could see it on the, my
YouTube channel. Yeah, it's definitely worth looking at because it is a very cool farm. Yeah, it's pretty different besides that. I've been looking into getting a new GPU and lo and behold you just got one sword up. Well, I just got a new. I got a 2060. Yeah, that was a that was a while ago. I was looking to get a new one but there's no gpus now. There's no gpus out there. If you want to get a GPU, you're paying double the price. You'll poop. So that's out the window.
Now, I notice when I play I'm getting some tearing in my screen now. My screens are only 60 hertz and with the equipment I got, I could definitely push 120 or 140 for hurt. So I think I'm just going to upgrade my monitors to where it's more game friendly. There's a monitor that's easier on the eyes and a Zeus monitor. So thinking about getting a couple those don't know if are probably not going to be a video for it.
Did you pee you? I could have made a video for but the monitors A pretty simple, plug them in. Now, put them in the state. And so, yeah, I think I'm gonna go with that instead of the gpus. Let me know if anyone's got a GPU for sale, so you say that I've been wanting to build a new PC for a while. I'm running a RTA or 9 RJ X, let's not say what a risin Seven Seventeen hundred X and A GeForce GTX 275. So I've got some old Hardware but it does the job. I can't complain lunch. Yeah.
I have monitors that are also so old that they're using the white component cable. Not an HDMI, not a display port, but a component cable oh yeah, you need this more than me but yeah, it works. So I have like a hmm. Spend my money elsewhere, bought a new mic because it's like that's where I needed. The upgrade the most yeah, bought a new controller because that's what I use the most. I was considering a new mic of was Was so I might I don't know that could that could definitely be that.
Definitely could be possible with the monitors because that was going to spend a good bit for a new graphics card and the monitors are pretty good price but don't want to overdo it. Yea, but yeah I'll good. Get my monitors first Mike's next. I don't see me getting a GPU for a long time. No, until these things. Go back down. Yeah. That's kind of out of the picture. Yeah. You have Bitcoin mining which is going on. Now and not to mention, there's
a huge silica shortage. So basically anything that uses silica, which is basically anything that uses a computer chip and motherboard anything like that. I think the Auto industry is kind of taking precedence over everything else right now. Mmm, so that's where all the silica is going, which is making it even harder to make gpus. And then on top of that, the gpus that are being made are being bought up rather quickly. Buy Bitcoin miners.
Mmm. It's like Oh yeah, the Bitcoin mining, yo, you'll see people with hundreds of gpus, you know, trying to get the Bitcoin. I was actually looking into, that doesn't look like it doesn't look like a too bad of a deal, but it is risky now. But again, I could get GP used to farm anything anyway, but a lot of it, some of it has to do with, you know, with covid. People have to work from home. They need equipment at home, so they're buying computer software
and stuff or equipment. So, Yeah, there's a bunch of different reasons why there's no gpus and I'm just hoping to get, you know, a decent price for a GP you soon. Yeah. You and me both. Anyway. Should we get into news because we have snapshot news this week. Yeah, let's do it. So snapshot 21w. 08 a, I think they have already come up with a be also to fix a couple issues. They had nothing too crazy. Let's talk about the big changes for the snapshot though, so
they've tweaked cave. Sizes further. So everything feels a little bit more uniform. You're not going to have the giant caves all over the place this time. They've kind of been distributed in a more spread out nature. So it's not crazy hole underneath every part of the world. Hmm, Canyon and Cave, Carver's, which I think is what they're referring to as some of the older terrain generation.
Now we'll apply below y0. Cracks can now be found carved into the ground which are Really cool grimstone has been changed to deep slate. They've also added the Deep slate Wars. That was talked about last week or grimstone, oars, from last week, the distribution of or is has been further tweaked. We have a chart for that would go over. Mmm, andesite no longer. Generates under y0, sad, Doug noises tough.
Now sometimes generate under y0 tough layer of amethyst geodes has been replaced with a new type of stone called, Of Basalt smooth. Basalt is now obtained by smelting Basalt. Another round of tweaking has been done on the new textures of oars and Blackstone emerald and Lapis Lazuli or textures have had some touch-ups mineshafts. Don't once again generate in the open air caves particles.
Now up here in the air around Spore, blossoms slime, blocks and honey blocks have been moved to the Redstone tab of the creative inventory. That was really hard to say, with my nose constantly, trying to clog it. Fit in the middle of talking. You did. Well, you did pretty well. But yeah, so let's go with the Tweet cave sizes to start with mmm. I think this is a welcome change. That was one of my biggest worries was the amount of lighting up. We were going to have to do
under caves. Yeah. To get any kind of efficient Farm running. Hmm so that's nice Canyon cave. Carver's going under y 0 it just looks okay. I mean there's not much to say about Out it it looks natural that way instead of having the hard stop above zero. Yeah, it's kind of hard to determine, you know what's natural and what's not? Because it's not like the real world, it is Minecraft but I think they're implementing it pretty well.
Yeah. I guess they have like they developed a case through like sound or noise, some kind of noise and able to distribute all the caves pretty evenly. I'm not like evenly, but it seems like everything's breaking up to where it's pretty. Spread out. It's not crazy. All on top of each other now. Yeah, yeah, right. More defined. Let's do it that way. That seems like a better way of saying it. Yeah.
Hopefully, they can, it will help separate biomes that are under the world, you know, with the different Generations? Mmm. Because we don't know how the biomes are going to separate. I mean, odds are it's just kind of like the top of the surface, you know, you could probably see the line. Yeah. When you cross the biome, see, I'm upset the andesite doesn't generate under y 0 anymore. Some people may say it's not Tough. Enough thing is, they're both,
I'm done. Which it was referring to is now that tough is replacing andesite under y 0 and a site was the only I to spawn under y 0 in the last snapshot because it is the best eyesight of all. But they've decided replace that with tough and it makes sense because the tough texture actually looks a lot better with deep slate than andesite and dacite really stuck out a bit. Yeah, and it's like, definitely
one of my It blocks in the game. So to have a new easy way of mining it, I was looking forward to that, but I understand change and now that we have tough as an easy to Define block, I'll probably work that in there somewhere and my building. Yeah, I feel like they tried to like lighten up, the Deep slate, oars or the Deep Sleep blocks, a little bit. They did to make the andesite fit but it just wouldn't fit. I mean, it's a, it's a lot different. It's a lot like Brighter Than This.
This deep sleep block, and yeah, the tough fits in there, pretty good, it still stands out a little bit. The tough block, of course it is. But yeah, that's a, I think that's a good change. I like it. Why? And we have smooth Basalt now, too. Mmm. Don't forget about that. That's a whole new block, right? And it's a pretty looking block. Hmm. Yeah.
I could have used that. You could have used that mmm problem with Basalt. Now is every site is different, so, it's hard, you know, you got to really watch how you place them. It could help if you want different textures of that, but when I'm working with, I it is a pain to try to get these blocks to right way. And yeah, I don't think it, I think smooth Basalt is the same texture all way around. If I'm not mistaken, I couldn't be mistaken. I've only seen the one picture
of it, so I don't know. Yeah, it's only one fits like I need more images. Show me in some more builds and I'm sure there's some out there now. But as of recording, I've only seen the one image. It's like I want more. Yeah, it'd be nice. It'd be nice to have it all the same side. Yeah, on Basalt. Maybe not with the smooth variant, not sure yet. You know, depends because I really like doing any polished Basalt in the crosshatch.
Yeah, where you lay one, lay it on its side and then you stand it up laying on its side standing up. It really looks good that way. Mmm. Okay. It's all over my base. Yeah, it could look really good if he use it that way, but the way I'm using it, man. Yeah, using it in a gradient, kind of hard. Mmm. Right. I'm using it to fade from color to color and it looks like it stands out as a block and not as like, a fading texture and if that makes sense, could be just
in my head. Yeah, but let's go ahead and move on to your notes. What do you have on the new snapshot? We have deep slate. Talking about the Deep site. Grimstone is now called Deep site. Deep slate. Now has a top Tech ER, and a new block, called Kabul deep site, which drops from Deep slate. Think you, if you have silk touch, you can mind the Deep slate with the new top texture. Yep. And the Kabul would be, if you'd
mind it with anything else. The cobbled variant is the same, but without the top texture and is also used to craft all deep, sleep variant variants, instead deep slate now, has the unique set of sounds very crunchy. Indeed. Nice. Let's talk some deep slate. I was a little worried when I saw the Deep slate had a top texture. Yeah, yeah, me, too. I don't like it. I don't like the top texture at all. But because they gave us cobbled deep slate. Which removes that top texture.
I'm cool with it. They're giving us more options. It's an option. I don't like but somebody else will like it. And I still get the Cobble deep slate as what I wanted originally. So there's nothing really to complain about. It's just I saw that first picture. I went oh no, they ruined deep. Late. And then I was like, oh wait, nope we're back again. Yeah, I didn't mind the old texture, I don't mind the new one either. Mmm. Yeah, it could definitely be annoying, you know.
Trying to place the regular deep sleep just because of that, top texture and is definitely going to get annoying. Some people might want that texture in there build though. Yes, there's definitely gonna be some people who can use it very well. What it would be cool if it was again, a rotation block, I'm thinking it's gonna be like Sandstone, you know how Sandstone always has that top texture on it unless you do Smooth Sandstone. Yeah and I don't like that at all.
But if deep slate allows you to rotate the texture, depending on how you place it that could be super useful. Yeah. But I mean, besides the Deep slate and the Kabul deep slate, the new textures for like the brick in the tile. They look great. They really do definitely going to use those. Yeah, I'm going to use the heck out of some deep slight. It's similar to Stone, but just a little bit darker.
Sure, let's see. I think it's it's the black Bloc. We wanted when we saw Black Stone before we black realize Blackstone had a lot of purple in it. Yeah, now Blackstone still black, don't get me wrong, but it has this purple tint to it. So it works really good. In the nether when you have Reds or blues or other blacks with it, it works really well. But when you do a contrasting block with the white one, it feels a little off. I'm using it actually.
With oranges in my Village or trading Halt and it looks great doing that but I would never consider it. A pure black block like black concrete, this deep slate, definitely feels more black and it allows for the contrast blocks to fit nicely. I really like the texture. It definitely has its not more black and like darker. I mean the black Stones definitely darker. Yes. Yeah, there's definitely like a little bit of like a Purple Hue with it.
You know it's definitely it's not completely black, you could put it next to a coal block and that'll be that's black. Yeah, yeah. Just a coal block texture is not nice and I won't go as far as Carl to say, it's just purple because it's not, it is black. Mmm, it's just got a little Hue of purple. Yeah, which works out well for the block. Yeah, I mean, I I'm using it. I've used a ton of it. I could see it a little bit, it doesn't really phase me, you know, it's kind of like the
back. To my base, you know, it's kind of in the background. Yeah. But what I'm thinking is, well, I'm going to put my money on and I may be wrong, but we found that when I guess on the show, I am generally, right? If not kind of close to right. But what's his that? Deep slate is going to have another variant called slate. Mmm, I'm thinking you put deep slate in a furnace and it'll give you a Father, kind of a more polished and a lighter color more white than black.
So basically when we first sold diorite and we thought, oh man, new white block. But then we realized it looked like bird poop. Yeah. I think slate can be a better diorite that doesn't look like there's poop or bird poop. Yeah, I think you're right and I could be completely wrong in. There's probably some Mojang devil like laughing behind the scenes. Go he's not getting that. Ha ha ha. Send me like that one but I would definitely love to see us
late. They're really working on this gradient Trend that's going around Minecraft. Hmm. A lot of people are trying to hey, use this texture or start with this texture to get to this texture. And here's all the blocks to use to get the gradient in between. Mmm. And I feel that 117s really having fun with that gradient. And I think a slate block would almost look a lot. Like, what? What we would consider granite countertops. The really white with just a hint of Grey's in it. Okay.
I'm thinking kind of like that. Not pure white but not diorite either. Yeah, well, you kind of get that with calcite, it's kind of like a smooth diorite. Oh yeah, that's true. No, I I completely forgot about that. I was going to bring up. Did you see this many blocks being added to this update? No, I did not think there's this. It's room for more stone blocks. And here we get this deep slate with like what eight different variants to it. It's crazy. How many more blocks are
bringing. So I've said from the beginning that one the deep dark and the warden definitely piqued my interest but dripstone the renewable lava source was that was my Victory lap. That's the one thing I've been the most excited for not anymore. Deep slate is the amount of building I can do a deep slate. It's gone. On through the roof so keep it up magic. Yeah, only thing about the plate is as of right now. You can't in stem on it.
No, it's a little bit harder to mine, but it's still still beautiful, but because so much of it generates below, y 0, it's still going to be easy to find because you can just go down there with a haste to Beacon. And yes, it's not instant mind, but you're still going to be mining. It's super quick because all you have to do is stand in a spot and just starts spinning around. Yeah, I mean, one mining session will give you More than enough Stone. Oh, yeah. You need to, you know, you go
down there. One mining session might take you a little longer but you're going to get plenty of it. There's it's very abundant. Oh yeah, let's talk about very crunchy sound. Oh yeah. I've ever since the nether update. The sound in the game. I loved man. Placing down. Bone blocks. Is the greatest thing in the world. Yeah like I might use boom blocks.
And Every build from now on just because of the sound, they make, I never used bone blocks until 116, and I think I only use them because I like the sound of placing content. Yeah. It's always been a nice texture, I've purposely not listened to what the Deep slate sound is because I like experiencing it in the release version, the full effect, but it's kind of, I want to know Especially when I hear crunchy. Mmm, that's all you.
Need. Know, I have a feeling it's gonna sound like rubbing rocks together in your hand. That's what I think it's going to sound like, mmm, maybe a little bit, there's different kinds of noises. You know, when you I think when you break and place the block, you get two different noises. Then when you run across it, you get that. Crunchy noise. Yeah. And each. What's, what's crazy? Is? Each variant makes a different sound. Oh, yeah. Slightly different, which is
pretty cool. I didn't see that coming either. Yeah. Yeah, ever since the nether update, man, they've been really putting time into the sound that the blocks different blocks make. And I'm loving that I like for them to do that with each block, if they could. Oh yeah. And it looks like they are lot of work, but Gigi's for putting in the work Mojang. Yeah, well done.
Anyways, oars deep sleep. Oars they added deep sleep version of iron gold, lapis, Redstone and Diamond Wars at generate wherever those oars replaced. Deep slate below. Y0, twice is tough to mind, as normal Wars. Kind of talked about that did not see that part coming. Mmm. But we obviously know, deep slate is a tough block to mine, so it would make sense that the or versions would be tough to mine. Also. Yeah the textures I love the new textures.
Yeah again they're they're playing with that 3D look that I liked about the lodestone. The lodestone. Has a very 3D look. These ores have that Very 3D look and I think they're beautiful. We talked about generation because or generation changed a little bit again. Yeah, not so much why levels and stuff, but they're experimenting with sunblock some blocks not generating next to an AIR block. So if you're going caving you
won't see an or block printing. I think Diamond might be one of those and Lapis again, they use the chart that's really small. So when you try to zoom in it just blurs all the text Yeah, only make out so much. Yeah. But I'm 100% against this because the new caves was for you to do caving, and not so much mining. But now if you can't see the or then why bother caving and you would have a better chance just going mining, that's a good point. Yeah, I'm not a fan of that.
I get what you're trying to do, but that's my two cents. I don't know my thought process sometimes fairies from everyone else. There's definitely times we were like does what you talking about that stupid? Well, I'm here to say if you want me to do caving don't hide the or blocks because then I'm just going to go mining. Yeah, probably still go mining anyways. I mean, I really like how they distributed all the oars yes,
the distributions great. Yeah, it looks about right where everything would be, the emerald still up high. If you want to majority of emeralds you have to go up high for it. I like that, you know, gives you a reason to go to the mountains, iron and copper, The same area. Yeah, but ya never really thought about cave mining, if they're going to hide them in the caves. And that's not going to be an option, you know, you have to go caving for caving. Exploring.
You know, won't give you a reason to go down there. If there's no Wars, I think it's more to make the caves look prettier because that's always kind of been a play. Especially when you have random like andesite diorite Granite sticking on the wall. It doesn't look as good. Hmm. Same with like Like coal or and stuff like that. But yeah, if you want me to do caving let me go caving. Don't hide the stuff I'm looking for, because at that point, it's just like I'm just going to dig
down until y0 and go from there. Hmm. Well, more than likely widen - 20-something now. Probably, that seems to be where the good stuff is. Yeah. Usually when I mined diamonds, I go, well, when I mine, I mined diamonds, so I go to Diamond level. It looks like, that's the lowest the lowest you can go so you can get Yeah, the lowest you goes the new diamond level, that's for sure. It's also the new Redstone level, right? Yeah. It's Ritz is pretty abundant
down there too. Yeah. Cold doesn't generate below y 0, which I think is cool. Yeah, that's nice. Same with emeralds. Yeah, they're specific spots are going to go. Yeah. You can definitely see. There's now a mining strategy but the hiding the oars there is no like lava level. So that's the thing about mining is you don't know if you're going to run into This lava usually y11 would keep you right at it or above it right now.
You there is that chance you might mind into lava because there's no set level for that is there. I know they brought lava back for this snapshot, mmm, but I didn't take a close look. Everyone just said well I was back so I don't know. It looked like it was all kind of different levels of lava and it's not like Lakes. Now there's like little ponds of lava not like big lakes like are were yeah. Not that.
I've seen. Another thing that we didn't mention, is the what the stone that generates in the Deep slate, the regular Stone. It's called I can't remember what it's called. It's a different name. Looks just like Stone. That's the infested Stone infested Stone from the silverfish. That's probably going to change. That's probably going to end up being infested. Deep slate. Okay, they just haven't gotten to it yet. Yeah, I didn't know. That's where the Silver shit.
Silver shift silverfish came from? Yeah, is infested said, yep. So we might see some silver fish down there. That being said, we need to, we need to go. We're running out of time. All right. I'll read this out. Not that much. Okay. Yeah, we just need to hop off the nudes. If you guys have something else you want us to talk about the snapshot hit us on the Discord, but we got listener comments to talk about on top of mending Minecraft. Yeah, better get to it. Yeah.
This week's listener comments from Chief Big Bear. They asked what was it aspect of Minecraft that you thought you would hate when it first announced but ended up really enjoying when it was eventually added to the game. Now, both me and Jim those answers Jimbo and I if you want to be grammatically, correct, whatever. Same update, but different aspects of the update, right? Mine was a light ra. I could see that. Yeah, at first, like we talked about in the pre-show, it was
kinda to modded, you know. Okay. That kind of, I'm never going to use those for one, you know, all you do is just what you kind of hover or not hover, but you Glide, yeah, because there was no propulsion, right? So it was kind of like, okay, this thing is cool, you can get from high in the world to, you know, you can jump down and glide wherever you want. That's cool. But you have to get up high to do.
So, mmm, I thought a Lytro was kind of like this could ruin the game if they don't fix it Minecraft's over now. Yeah, throw away. Trash it. No, but I light ra change the game with the Rockets once. They implemented the Rockets. I liked her became extremely useful. Yeah. Right then. And there I was like, I have got to get one of these. When it first came out, it was essentially just a parachute. Yeah, it was a parachute.
You had to knowingly put on, it wasn't just one of those that was on your back all the time because face it, there was no point in putting in a lighter on to lose a chest plate at that time. Yeah, now with propulsion. Ian, you don't wear a chestplate because if you're in a bad situation you just fly and take off. You get out of there, but you couldn't do that back. Then there was the punch bows. People remember that. Let's go to see that but that was not a very good way of
moving around. No. Don't confuse your bows? Yes. Because a lot of people do that and they'll shoot each other with their power 5bo. It's it was real confusing. Yeah. You got to hit yourself with a punch to Arrow every so often to keep flight. Yeah, that was. I didn't play with that at all because I thought it was annoying, Sam reasonably, so. But yeah, I'm so glad he brought the rockets in there and improve the elytra. Now, for me is the combat that
came with the 1.9 update. Same update. Well, I was so worried when I saw the update, I was like, wait I'm not going to be able to get as many hits in and all this kind of stuff and I'm going to get murdered. You can't block with the sword now. It turns out 19 combat. I know people still absolutely despise it, it feels more natural than the other way. I don't know if anyone's actually try to hold a sword out and whack it as fast as 1.8 can. That does not feel natural.
That's not how it's not how gravity Works. Hmm. And granted Minecraft's a game that constantly defies gravity, but you totally like pop your shoulder out of the socket. That was the case. Yeah. If, for some Who would be new to the game? I think 19 combat would feel more natural than 18 because that's how you would do things in real life, you'd have a shield, you would block. And then swipe whenever you see an opening and then you bring the shield backup and you block it.
Feels like it was the correct way. Now seeing all the stuffs Jabs doing for his combat update that looks way better. Like I'm excited for his update. Hmm I was worried about the combat update died. I like it. Now, I don't have a lot of complaints about it, it but I also agree with Jim, but the Elijah, when it first came out with just like a, I have to travel how far in the end to get that thing.
Mmm, I don't think so. Yeah, for like that little bit of Grace of jumping off a cliff and gliding, we and I remember having like a for shoulder boxes, made you rich back. Yeah. Yeah. There's two. And it's like, well, now I have nine stacks of shells. Yeah. Anyway, thank you for that. Chief, Big Bear, that comment was from our Discord and our Discord is the only place you could talk to everyone who works on the show. Easily just take Casas word for it.
Is this thing on? I'm cast and I'm here to figure out why you have yet to join the withering effect Discord. It's a great place to hang out with order Minecraft enthusiasts and the creators of the show. The link to join the Discord is in the show notes. Thanks for the Discord at Cass. Speaking of the Discord, it's the only place you can get involved in armed ending Minecraft vote this week.
We asked you to discuss and choose between one of three items for us to improve and we said discuss, not a, not all out Warfare, which put a lot of thought it was going to come down to your choices were course. Fruit Trident and armorstand Jimbo is like ready to tell you which one one? Yeah, I thought you were done like, wow. You know, I had to take. Take a breath because my nose is stopped up. Oh yeah, I've been eager to jump in there.
You're right. Yeah. It's very close all out war in the Discord over the winner of this week. Hmm. And the winner of mining mining cheese. Come on the winner. Mending Minecraft. This week is Armor stand with 31 votes. Followed by Horace fruit with 25, tried it with 11. So yeah. Course, fruit and armor Stan were having it out, but this is the first week that the third option has one. Yep. It could be reason why one could be.
I think the armored Saint, though is one of those people have seen what the armor stands can do. Yeah, and then it's like when you see it in the Nila? All I can think of is the meme with the little figure with the stick poking it going. Come on, do something. Mmm. Yeah, it's yeah. All right. But tell us about some armor stands. Yeah. I got a few things on the armrest and armor stands are entities, that are able to hold and display wearable items.
It's crafted with six sticks and one smooth. Stone slab, can be pushed by Pistons, move by flowing water, food, with fishing rods, and bounced by slime blocks. It is a falling into In Bedrock addition, there are three 13 possible poses for the armor stand. And it can also hold items in Bedrock. This last one I came across, I've never seen, and I don't
think it's true. But it says, armorstands can be found in Taiga Villages armor houses, or armor houses, sometimes pre-equipped with armor. Miss never seen that before. So, if anyone has seen that, please tell me if you have ever found an armor stand in a Aah. I would love to find out. Don't think it's Rick. Yeah, I've never seen it either. I'm not saying it's not real but that's one of those. It's like the the naturally spawning pink sheet. You know, it's out there.
It's not seen it. Is it like an Easter egg, you know, is it something rare? Current it, yeah, rarely come across. We all know before I start going into my fixes, for my men's, for armor stands, there was a big push for me and you too. Vote chorus fruit. And I'm going to put it out there. If I had to vote, I was going to vote. Try to those of you who wanted horse fruit. I'm on the tried and bandwagon but these were all good, picks
this week. Hmm. These were all things that need Improvement to be even better. So let's go with the obvious fix for the armor stand. See, armorstand book by stick. God, this is the one that's being used on. Countless SPS and single-player worlds, you can pose armor Stands and so many configurable ways. Yeah, that's kind of obvious thing. If you're not going to do that, at least give Java the 13 possible poses.
Yeah. The arms kind of need to be standard on an armor stand, so they can hold items. I don't know why. Java doesn't get any of that maybe. No please. Yeah, I agree if we find an armor stand naturally generated. Does that mean we can unlock the 13 boses? Is that what this game is over? The other fixes would be obviously color. The armor said based on the wood type I've been using a lot of warped weird lately. How cool would it be to have a blue armor stand or a crimson
armor stand? Well, I mentioned it crafted with sticks. I know. But how cool would it be to do the other way? Yeah I hear you blue sticks. I knew it was sticks and I knew sticks, only look one way, but yeah, and I needed to throw that out there because that was really cool. Cool. I need to throw out there that I wrote down six-six. It's crashed. It was 66. Instead of six sticks. I've spilled 6 twice, and your defends. You were occupied with random thoughts last night.
Yeah. That's for later, maybe. Yeah. Maybe the other things. So, this next part would be based on if we could actually get poses and Java. But I would like each pose to put off a different Redstone signal using A comparator. Yeah, I think that could be really cool compact way to do redstone signals and I think you can basically do the same thing with a lectern and a book, though.
Based on what page it's on. You might not be that great but I thought out there to me the coup de gras of my mending Minecraft. So we have the deep dark and we have the warden, right? These are two new scary Things in Minecraft. My fact it was talked about on Twitter kingi dogs was mentioning that maybe is a little too scary. I don't think so but I want to play on the fears of people also, and if you come across, these naturally, spawning armor stands which I still haven't
seen. What if you went to pull the armor off and the armor stand came alive and tried to attack you and fight you. Yeah. Could you imagine an army? Jenn coming off the base plate and start swinging a sword at you. Yeah, that would be cool. I would call this an enemy, the puppet. Yeah. Now would there be a way to activate it? I know your ideas in beta, you know, my plan is not even an alpha but I would assume it would be just interacting with
the armor stand. Like, trying to take a piece of armor off of it, with turn it on. I would make it where I don't think you could craft a puppet so you couldn't just craft an armor stand. Stand and take a named Peg to it and named the armor stand puppet, to get it to come to life or maybe you could that actually probably work out pretty well. Yeah, I don't want it to be a tough. It wasn't meant to be a hard enemy to defeat again. It's made by a bunch of sticks. So it was just more of a
jump-scare type thing. I thought would be cool to the game and this would be a really cool feature in the deep dark. You know, if this could be a place where you put these armor stands in these Loop places, would you go? I can go in this door and be safe from the warden. He can't fit in here you go in there and two or three armorstands come to life and you're like, okay, it's safe in here either that go definitely mix it up a little bit. I would like to see something like that.
Armor stands would be a good one to implement and you're trying to sneak around and be quiet. You've just snuck past the word you're like yeah I'm good. And all of a sudden this armored Saint comes to life and making this bone ragging sound though because it's all out of wood. And now the warden hears, the puppet. He's coming for you. Now know, it's getting creepy. It's getting creepy. I think it would have been so cool. Yeah, I think it would be cool. Mmm.
Yeah, there's a good bit. You can do with the armor stand. Yeah, bunch of mods out there where you can use them. A lot differently Bedrock has a little bit more features for it. Yes. With the poses always like that. Hmm, they kind of got a little bit of vanilla with the armor stand. I mean, taking it from vanilla to, you know, modding it a little bit and give it to us in vanilla with this. Yeah.
The poses and stuff. Yeah. Be nice to get that in Java. Yeah, Bedrock definitely has the upper hand when it comes to armorstands, that's for sure. Yeah, they don't have the mods though and that's where that's what we got. Now, there are some mods for Bedrock, they're just not as many okay, but there are some didn't realize but that's all I have for mending Minecraft. The only problem is I don't think we're going to have
enough. Time to go through our topic this week, so I'm wondering if we shouldn't save it for next week, we could because it can fit next week too. Yeah. Maybe we give one of each. Yeah, let's do. So our topic for this week was another random thought, but it was a random thought on 117 and we came up with five of those. So yeah, let's just do one random. Thought each on 117, I'll let you go first. Okay, probably the better one I have is if we're going to be Underground.
And so much because you know the underground update her cave update we're going to need a decent food source down there. I feel like and there's really no food source underground now we don't know if like the fish are going to spawn down there maybe in the Lush caves you know axolotls might spawn down there you have squid mainly mobs which what you'll get a character potato every once in a while, you know, you're not going to there's no food source It's down there.
You're giving us all this, you know, all this area with no food source, I guess it could give you more of a reason to come to the surface once in a while. But I feel like there needs to be something in case you're stuck or lost down there to you know, have some kind of food. There is a food source down there, what food the mushrooms glowberries? Globe are? You can eat glowberries, what's the? It's not very big like, yeah, you get partial haunches. I think back from it.
The DIA, the saturation. That's it is not very big at all. But in case of an emergency, yeah, glowberries will get you out of it. That is something I did. Kind of look past the glowberries, maybe something else. Maybe we can have another food source that is good though. Didn't think about the glue, Barry? There's no real meat in the caves is what you're getting at. No, you're not going to fill up on berries. Don't feels up on berries. All right, so, My random thought
has to go with. I've been seeing a lot of people saying whenever you convert 2117 or update to 117, you have to start a new world. Hmm. Because of the new generation and this all comes from a snapshot, a snapshot or two ago where they've said, you will be unable to open Old Worlds in this snapshot. As there is currently no upgrade path towards the new world height. I think everyone took that as from 117 means World, I do not think Mojang who would do that.
We're not force every player to start a new world to play on their new update. I think what's going to happen is they're going to figure out a way. So old world height will expand over top of already pre-loaded chunks at me and said, Bedrock will still be at y 0 and your pre-loaded chunks because you've already loaded those chunks, it's just whatever you go into a new chunk. The whole underground is going to change. Now obviously they're probably trying to come up a way to make
that a more smooth transition. Hmm. Even if it's not, I don't see them forcing everyone to say, hey ditch your world, start new if you want 117 because that's just not the Mojang way. Hmm. So people who are so worried that I'm gonna have to lose my world of five years because of 117, I know, I don't think that's going to be the case. It's just they haven't gotten to how they want to implement it yet. But I'm sure I'm 99.9%. Sure. They will figure it out before 117 comes out.
In fact, it's probably one of the big things that they're trying to figure out before. Yeah, that's one of the questions I raised early was. Whoo. We're not going to be able to upgrade the server because of how big the world is going to change. The lot of big changes. I have a base that goes all the way to bedrock but in 117 it's not even close to bedrock. Actually 64 blocks away from Bedrock now.
And my thought was you know, if we do upgrade this that Bedrock is going to be gone and you know my base is going to be flooded with Mobs underneath of it, out of nowhere, you know. And that's something you don't want. I'm sure they don't plan on doing that usually know how you upgraded World. Anyway, now the unloaded chunks will get upgraded. The I just thought that when you upgrade those chunks, you haven't been to, then you go to
them. You Have that 64 block different underground to where you could mine into the void. You know just kind of fall out of the world and that might be an issue but it's still up to you whether you want that issue to upgrade it or not. Yeah but I think that would be like the only thing to worry about is like mining into one 1617 and falling out of the world.
I think it's more going to be what you'll see is Is the chunk borders of 116 and 117. Instead of mining in to avoid, I think you're going to see a very deep vertical line of Bedrock. That's going to be right there at that chunk line. I think that's what's going to happen is whenever they figure out how to overlap the previously generated chunks. With the new, what I call World height rules as in you can now go above 256. - why 64 whatever it was going to be that whatever
is below zero. Now, has this section of Bedrock that you can't break through. Anyways. Mmm. And it'll be just like on a chunk border to keep you from mining to there, or they're not going to do that and you're going to be able to mine into the void and that's going to be Wicked fun. Yeah, that's just as you were saying that I was thinking, man you could build under there then, right? You can build under that Bedrock. How cool would it be to it electric?
I threw a cave into just void. Yeah it gives a little scary but get a little scary. Yeah it's kind of got my nerves going. All right that freaked me out. I don't get along with the void. Yeah I think that's going to do it for today's show but before Jimbo reads us out, I want to say a huge. Thank you to all of our patrons who are supporting the show.
