Episode description

In this episode, DuDs and Jimbo discuss Bedrock Beta, 1.16.220.50, for Minecraft 1.17, which introduces a new Mountain generation up to a maximum of 256 blocks height. The Mountains have new sub biomes: Lofty Peaks, Snow Capped Peaks, Snowy Slopes, Mountain Grove, and Mountain Meadow. This BETA also reintroduces the Glow Squid which now emits glow coloured ink particles when hurt and raises world height to 320 blocks. Also, we have a question from ohbeep about how DuDs and Jimbo are preparing for the next update. Plus, the remaining random thoughts on 1.17 from last weeks snow, including a new music disc and more uses for Glow Berries.

Transcript

Hey everyone. Welcome to the withering effect. Episode 85 today's date is March 7th 2021 and I am Duds or Duds versus known to the rest of the interweb and I am Jimbo you may know me as Jim boost, like 23. So what has your week been? What know what have you been up to this week? We're recording at a different time, so everything's being thrown off, that's an easy line. That is an easy line, that's pretty easy light and it would thing is, it's so easy.

I try to play with it and I try to ask you a different way. Don't you play with the script Jimbo and it comes out as what have you done week? You know, when I try to play with it. So we'll just, I'm just going to read it. How's your helmet? Is your bin? You're done. How weak a view Duds. Been what? Carl's going to get you for messing up the script. It's all right. I had to rewrite all this, I had a busy but a slow week at the same time.

So anyone who was watching YouTube channel saw that my villager trading hall went up in the middle of the week. Hmm, it's all but finished, all I have to do is move the villagers into place. I've got the breeder done. I've got all my old villagers moved at. Don't know if the reader works. I'm going to assume it's going to work because I built the logical geek. Boy version right into the show. He's been on, go check that out. And those are basically guaranteed to work, anything

from him. It has not broke on me yet. Mmm, I've got that. I worked a little bit on my build series part to that series other than the end portal designed. Yeah, it's kind of lagging behind all my other stuff. And plus, I really wanted to do the villager trading Hall some more.

So I kind of skipped doing build part to this week and decided to do the village or Trading. That'll get done at some point because I definitely want to finish this build because the A-frame cabin has been one of my favorite designs so I definitely want to get it done. It looks good so far. Yeah it's really, it's really cool. But finally I've been working on a redstone game that's old but I'm kind of modernizing it. You've seen the Redstone work?

Yeah I've done for it on thing. I'm super excited to kind of keep it a little bit close to the chest. Just because I probably won't be able to do it on camera for another two weeks, but all the Redstone is worked out. I figured out how it's going to work, all I have to do is build it on the server and I'm super excited for it. Yeah it does some pretty fun you're telling me about it last night or the night before something like that.

Let's just say, I hope there's some gamblers on the server. There are don't need help. What about you has your week? Been I started on my sheep farm. Hmm, I didn't actually finish that episode. I got a lot of stuff recorded. I just didn't get editing all the way kind of finish it up. One thing to note, when I made my farm, I use glass. So the Observer that observes the grass being eaten, I put a glass block behind it. So the Observer would power the

glass and the redstone on top. No, no that doesn't work. Can't do that. You need a solid block. They're not Transparent block, I know you can lay the Redstone on there. Hmm, apparently the block doesn't power, so that red sand won't power. It won't Shear the Sheep. Thanks for that on stream day. Everyone to remind me that I was using glass. And yeah, it's a pretty simple design and got all my stalls ready, that episode will be out this weekend besides that.

I got two brand new monitors, their MSI. Know the name, but they have, it's up to 165 Hertz. Mmm. I play it 144 and everything is. It just feel so much smoother. Yeah, I noticed with my 60 hertz monitors, there's so much screen tearing when I go back and forth and you don't really realize it when you're playing and stuff. Especially when I record, it doesn't catch that. The recording doesn't catch that screen tearing and stuff.

Hmm. Yeah I noticed like when I was doing it on screen looking at My recording, they wasn't tearing on the recording so that thought that was pretty strange. But on my monitor, everything's a lot smoother. Now, I'm so much more happy with the performance out of my computer. Yeah, it's a got them. Now, I'm happy over these. My only complaint about my monitors. My monitors are not anything fancy. Like, I think they're straight up 60 hertz. That that's about it.

That's, that's their biggest features. Are 60 hertz and they work. Ooh, they're two different sizes. Mmm. So, like, 12, 24 inch the others. A 28 inch. Hmm. And that's really my only complaint is because there are two different sizes when you move the cursor from one screen to the other, it does is like 2-inch jump. So, moving back and forth, quickly. Sometimes becomes a little hard to keep track of where your cursor is, and it looks a little odd.

When you look at it, I couldn't help notice. You said, 28 inch. Guess there's can't be many of those, right? Probably not. But usually it's 27, right? He 7232, It's usually the maybe it's from a dude, these monitors are old. Yeah. You don't see 2828, I bought these monitors when I built my first PC and I built my first PC. So I could do YouTube, whatever. The date is, on my very first YouTube episode.

That's how long I've had these monitors and the only reason I bought them was because both monitors were 30% off. And they only had one of each left so that's why they're different. Sighs has a they work minor. I did have to 32 inches. Now I get 27s happier with my 27th. Uncie, I think I'd want to go smaller one or sighs. I think my big monitors little bit too big. Yeah. I like the smaller ones. Gives a cleaner. Look on my desk. Yeah, I feel like I have a lot

more room now. That's one part. One problem with the big monitors. Yeah. But anyway, should we go ahead and hop into some news? Yep. I'm ready. We got some Bedrock news. No. Java. Snapshot. But there was a Bedrock beta and the way they numbered, there's is about as crazy as the way the Java does when it's a bunch of letter or a bunch of numbers, and I was like, I'm not writing it down, it's the mountain beta.

It's pretty much the moment, just the mountains, everything else that's coming in there beta. We've seen in Java, we talked about in Java, they've got a little snip bit, add that I'm going to have Jimbo read and then we'll go through the mountain section right after. So there's more to these mountains then there.

Hosing Heights, they also have their own sub biomes including lofty, Peaks, snow-capped Peaks snowy, slopes Mountain Groves and Mountain Meadows. Plus a fabulous mob is making a special reappearance, which is the glow squid. Not in the mountains though, that would be weird and cruel. So, the glow squid is coming to bedrock zoo and they already have the goat. Hmm, I guess. I'm just going to go ahead and read through this whole section and then we'll go through and talk about.

It one by one afterwards good. So Mountains they're obviously introducing the sub biomes lofty, Peaks. Snow-capped Peaks snowy, slopes Mountain Grove Meadow Mountain and to accommodate the new mountains, they are raising World height from 256 to 320. That's something. We've known Mountain generation will go up to 256 so they won't always be 256 but they can go there for the true. Alpine honest Iron Coal and in All doors were all be generated

up on the mountains. We talked about that with the or generation chart. If the updated textures for Iron Coal emerald diamond gold, lapis copper, and Redstone is all good on beta. They got the updated textures to Mountain terrain will now generate as part of Overworld World Generation, kind of assumed that, and they move the go Spawn from Extreme Hills to snowy slopes and they allow Abbott's to spawn in Mountain Grove.

There you go. I did my research by watching exhume has video same here and he couldn't find all the different biomes, especially considering Bedrock doesn't have the F3 screen. So you really don't know what biome you're in, right. But I can tell you the mountain generation really does look good. Yeah, he even had a picture of like a before and after hmm, you could see the trees and there wasn't a mountain at all there. Yeah, upgrade boom. This mountain everything

changed. You can see the trees that were still there. So yeah. These mountains generated in this certain area and it yeah, it looks great. I will say very much reminds me of the common Craft season three, the one you are on, we're mean Bank wrote the custom code to get the custom Mountain trains. Look similar very much look similar obviously, Mojang's is a little bit better than ours more

figured out. The one thing I'll I doubt there is why the mountain while the mountains look really good. I really want to see some Cliffs. This is clay or caves and cliffs updates I've yet to see a cliff. Yeah. When they when they introduced these sub biomes, you think lofty. Peaks might be something Cliff related. Very well, could be, they don't use the word cliff in any of these biomes. You think, you know, they have their own specific one, but what do you think?

Some of these biomes like what do you expect in like the Mountain Grove? That's the one that I was kind of curious about, I obviously think it's probably going to have some trees and stuff there. Snowy slopes is probably going to be where you find a lot of powdered snow. Okay. But yet Mountain Grove when I think about it I think of trees and I think of Boulders don't know why I think of Boulders but that's what I think of when I think of Mountain Grove. I'm thinking of a holler like

between the mountains. Oh, yeah. But that's a holler. I don't know if that's a Groove. I'm trying to like, pinpoint. What. Exactly a Groove, is it? I can't. We'll put it out there for the Europeans. When Jimbo says holler. He means a hollow. Yeah, I honestly, I never used that word. I know. I joined the pipeline as a pipeliner. Everyone call it a holler or a holler. Yeah, not a hollow. Never Hollow. So I didn't, I never knew. Even a said I Like three different ways for past two

years. Yeah, I got you. I know somebody was going to be in the Discord going. What's a holler holler? What yelling for why are you yelling at me, man? But I know some of these mountains have ice. Mmm, you'll see very into like snow layers. That's really cool. I didn't know that would generate huh. But this is all in Bedrock. We don't know if it's going to come out the same. Correct. I have a feeling it's going to be very, very very, very close. But there Might be a few differences.

Yeah, but it's for the average player. I don't think you'll be able to tell it'll come down to Java. Didn't act exactly the way. Hmm, Bedrock. Did so they had to code it just a little bit different. So this one sub by own might have this one. Rock that sticks out in a weird formation. All the time, I don't know if it'll be super close. One thing, I notice this is a little off topic. I never noticed this before but in Bedrock the Character blinks.

Yeah, it's a long blink. Like it's not like a natural blink. Usually beat real quick. It was like a do like a long blink, like a sloth type of deal. Yeah. Thought that was pretty funny. Well, I can't remember if I was talking about it with you or this was back with bank was on but Bedrock has emotes and I've been circling the tank. I figured Java would be coming up with emotes also at some point, I get like that's a lot harder to program into Java. Then it is bedrock. Mmm.

I just kind of had that feeling that we were going to get emotes at some point. Like specially when I saw the crawling feature coming to play and then everyone's kind of like that was kind of by accident and we decided to leave it because there was a good feature. Hmm. It's like oh never mind was way off on that I miss on my guess is some time I miss regularly. So you want to make a bet after the show. Not like I will save the will

save Bed of the year for later. Yeah, we definitely want to get in on that. So Building height is at 3:20. Now in Bedrock they didn't give you the the caves yet. You're not getting the caves yet in Bedrock. Yeah, they don't have the Subterranean done. So any of the negative y levels that's not in there yet. Either. It just mountains. We got the caves, you got the mountains. I'm trying to look through and see if there's anything else

seeing the goat. I think the goats adorable, I really like every was wrong, just randomly jumps up in the air. Hmm. Chumps like four blocks up. It's like the heck. And what's weird is my uncle's owned goats. So I grew up as a kid around goats and I've never once seen a goat jump higher than my eyes. They've been around Goods too often. They do climb everything though. Yeah, I mean most of this we've talked about like the new ores, the generation, the textures and stuff.

Talked about that hmm. I mean rabbit spotting and Mountain Grove, I would make something about that but I don't know what a Mountain Grove is yet. Yeah. Be nice to distinguish the difference in between them. Yeah, the good looks Derpy. It does. It does look like a little Derpy, that's why I like it. I like how dirty it looks same here. Anyway, should we go ahead and move on? Yeah, they gets it. All right, so we have a listener comment from oh beep.

They say. How are you preparing for the next update for a head? Start? R time putting together a rabbit card or rabbit farm. Ready for bundles. We all know how I feel about bundles. It's all I'm going to say as I get in trouble, every time I talk bad, I guess. Let's just say, Duds is not building a rabbit farm, does is not building a rabbit farm. I'm not preparing for the next update at all. Mainly because I don't know of

Ripple effects. Going to start a new world on 117 or if we're going to keep playing on the same world for 117. Yeah. There's that, it's hard to know. When you don't have everything yet. Yes. You don't have all the update. Pretty much just don't have it yet. Yeah, I mean other than the new blocks, which I think her have been awesome. The only thing from 117 that we've seen that I'm excited about is lava source regeneration. That's it really? That's that's the only thing

that we've seen so far. I think the mountains look pretty but it's not enough to make me go live in a Snowy Mountain. I think the caves are a lot cooler than I thought they were Going to be but that's not going to get me to go live in a cave. Really the technical part of the source, water source and lava source, really intrigues me, I'm pretty sure when the deep dark in the warden come to fruition I'll be way more interested in that stuff. But for now out of the stuff we've seen.

Yeah. Renewable lava from the only thing I'm super excited for. Yeah, I do love that feature but met and I'm so excited for the deep dark in the Ventures under the ground. We haven't seen deep dark yet. Yeah, we don't have that yet. And that's like, what I'm most excited, right? That's why I said out of the stuff we have maybe goats. Maybe I'm more excited for goats anything because like you said, they're so Derpy, it's cute. Yeah, yeah, probably definitely get it.

I'll definitely have a goat Anjali. Yeah, I fully plan on trying to figure out how to be able to cheese a warden, because I'm too much of a wuss to face it head-on. And let's face it. It'll wreck my face. Now you can beat him. There's PVP skills. Don't God just dance around him. See does just dancing around a warden? Yeah, let's dance around the thing that follows sound waves. There you go. More like, stand still and not cry. Give him two of his strength to

beat you. I have been looking at War generation. I guess is something I can say to figure out the best way to mine. And it really comes down to how much, are they going to high doors? Yeah, I think I mentioned this last podcast and they're going to hide some Wars and we haven't really seen that fully fleshed out yet. I'm hoping it's not an excessive excessive amount because it seems like they really want you to do caving this update.

But if the oars are already hidden that, I have no reason to go caving. Yeah, especially if I know to go down to why level - 11 and get everything I need there. Yeah, that's the beauty of cave-in, you know, finding those exposed oars, right? They mention, I think most of them won't be exposed to the air anymore, and yeah, it kind of takes the fun out of caving. I think they're trying to give us other things, to be excited about than just finding, or yeah. I've been pretty much a branch

minor. Anyway, know if I want to find diamonds, I go to 11. Now, if I want to five, Means I got to go to free of pretty much negative 64. Sounds like it's the most abundant. So that's probably where I'll do one. Plus, you get the Slate or deep slate? Yeah. Which is a gorgeous block.

I really do. They showed the new deep slate, top texture because I think that was something I complained about in the last episode was, I love deep slate, but when they had the top texture on it, if so weird that it I wasn't a fan of it. The new top texture is better for sure, but I would like us slab variant with that top texture. Also, I don't know how to really say it in a way other than I want to slap variant. It's a good texture, but it needs. I want to say, like, accessibility.

I need to be able to use different variants of it together. If it's just a full block that handicaps my building style so much. Yeah, that it'll basically just be a generic floor when it gets used. Yeah, that's kind of like the issue with Basalt. You have some nice-looking blocks and textures in there. We don't get the slab and stairs, it can limit your building, right?

Or you're designing, it's got its place but if it had slabs and stairs, it would have more places to go slabs and stairs agree. They're pretty great. Yeah, so one some walls to maybe a wall or two, maybe brick in a wall. Maybe smooth. It, you know, maybe a polished version that too much back to no beep. I don't really have like a Plan an initial plan starting. I usually start off the way I do and then I don't know. Just go from there.

I guess, I do get a like a base planning insight, though. It seems to change every time. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't really thought about anything to build a might take what I was supposed to build this season and build a next season. It could help be in that high. Yeah, that's the way I am updates. Really don't influence my bases especially if you look at my bases. My Cases are usually One update ahead of when they would have

been perfect for. There's that plus I have three or four base ideas in my mind at all times and it's all about if I can find the right terrain to work that Basin like I have a jungle base in my mind. Yeah, for three and a half years now but I've never found the right terrain to build it, so it's never been built. Just going to have to build that to rain. I'm just going to have to build the terrain. You try it on the mountain and we see how well that's going with a mountain.

But yeah, there's that there's some blocks I have ideas with, you know I see and stuff but yeah not like a build I have in mind. Yeah or a farm I want to start before any I mean if anything iron farm would still be just as valuable as before. Yeah, wild berries might be one of my other things. I'm excited for just because it's a new light source and I'm really getting into the overgrown. Kind of building. So having a Vine that glows could be cool.

Oh and I like the whole glowing thing how you can make like Signs glow and yeah certain things I think they can Implement that into the game a lot more now that they have that. Yeah. And I admit I was a little disappointed and seeing what the glowing does but when you walk around and you're trying to read signs and even when they signs are dark and they used the white diet, you're still just like squinting. Like what the heck does that sign say? Right. Having the glowing would come in

handy? Yeah, yeah. Let's go ahead and move on a little bit because we got to get to mending Minecraft and our topic from last week. Still. Right. Which might be next week's topic if we keep going. Yeah, so anyways, thanks for that. Oh beep. That comment came for our Discord server. And our Discord is the only place where you can talk to everyone who works on the show. Easily, just take me Jason's word from it, or for it.

Hey friends, it's me Jason and I'm a member of the withering effect Discord. It's a great place to talk to your fellow listeners and give your input into the show. You might even get your question or comment, read out on a future episode. Join the Discord today, link is in the show notes and I'll see you there Duds. 100 percents this message. Thanks again for the Discord. Add me Jason. I totally didn't butcher the script Carl. Don't hate me. He did you did. I'm sitting right here.

I heard everything. This is what happens. Like every time we go to do the show, I go to the stream or livestream my nose. Just get stopped up, I'm dead serious. It hasn't been stopped up all day but the second week, sat down the record. Anyways, speaking of the Discord to see, only place you can get involved in our mending, Minecraft boat. This week's vote, we asked you to choose between one of three

mobs, rusted. Discuss and approve, your choices were Snow Golem cave, spider, and gassed, and the winner of mending Minecraft. This week is, Snow Golem. Nope, pretty close between the snow golem it in the gas. The gas had 26 Snow Golem with 32 and the cave. Spider was seven, everyone hates cave, spiders, good riddance to them cake squish it, squish it. Now, if I could step on those things, if y'all done for, I want the ability to do the Super Mario, jump it squish on the cave.

Yeah, that's right. That's what I want. Anyways, tell us about the snow golem. A snow golem is a snowman like utility. What? Yep. Yeah. It's a weird word but yeah, snowman. Like utility mob, that helps defend against hostile and neutral mobs. I wrote this down, I don't remember putting that probably copy and paste. Anyways, Snow Golems can be

created with two stacks. No blocks with a carved pumpkin placed on top Snow. Golems drop 02:15 snowballs upon With snow golems have a trail of snow on the ground, if the blocks can support it or leave a trail of snow, they do not take fall damage yet, still take freezing damage from Powder snow throwing snowballs, do not do damage except to blazes and wolves and Snow Golems Mount and /. Die in Badlands deserts savannas and biomes in the nether.

The fire resistance effect allows them to survive in. These biomes didn't know that. Yeah. So snug Home was kind of a difficult mob to improve because let's face it, they're already the best modern game, there's a lot. There's a lot to it when I was going through those notes. Yeah. So the way I broke it up, this week is the obvious fixes, the not so obvious fixes, and then boss mode.

Mmm, because remember, I'm trying to get more in depth with The Mending my crafts especially now that we've expanded it. So I want to get a little bit creative and Lazy. And not all of my ideas might be good for the game but you know I mean why not? It's our podcast. Let's Go Nuts, right? The first one, the obvious one of the obvious things I have is why is a snow golem taking

damage from powdered snow. Yeah I don't know what's in that snow according to the wiki that's not a bug and that's the way they're going to do it. My first fixes that shouldn't happen. Yeah. Snow Golem should be able to walk over top of powder snow without Damage. Yeah. I mean they are snow or part of it. They are snow. The next thing is when you share a pumpkin off a Golem, it should increase its range attack.

So you know how when you put a pumpkin head on when you fight the inner dragon because you know, Enderman are all over the place. Yeah. You really have a reduced vision and it kind of makes it hard to see all around you lose those peripherals. Yeah we share that off of a snow golem. They should be able to see better to and increase their range. Age of attack. I love it. I can't remember how far they throw now. It's like 15 blocks or something. Now that they can throw a

snowball. I did not write that down maybe but you don't just double it. Whatever it is now. Just double it. I do like that idea. Yeah. Given them more ability without the helmet or the head or what is that? Just a pumpkin. Yes just pumpkin snow golems that end up blocking over, cauldrons should fill cauldrons with powdered snow another way to get renewable. We're using the collections. Okay, another thing why? Why damage wolves with snowballs?

Yeah, I get the blaze is because that's a fire mob, but a wolf. Yeah, a wolf. Should be able to take a snowball. Yeah, I guess if you have a Golem guarding your llamas and kind of make sense put a snow golem in the pin with your llamas and yeah. Maybe or protect any any mob from wolves, whatever, wolf or whatever they would say, maybe a sheep. That's true. Their Shepherds. Yeah. So a not so obvious.

Fix. I had is so one of the things I notice you didn't write down that I thought was super cool. Was that in Enderman can technically build a snow golem and spawn one? Yeah, it's super super rare but technically it can do that. We also know that snow golems in the end we'll attack internment. I had the idea if an intermittent attacks a goal. Instead of taking damage the Enderman should just remove its head and leave a stacked snow

block there. Oh so kind of like Frosty the Snowman you take his hat and he turns into a normal snowman is not alive anymore. Hmm. If an inner man comes and takes its head now the in see that would be a reason to share the pumpkin because if you share the pumpkin then the inner man can't pick up the snow golem head. But if you leave the pumpkin on there, the enemy should be able to pull the pumpkin off. Yeah.

Yeah, I like that. That's one thing I didn't mention, you can Shear the pumpkins off the snow. Golems, they have a Derpy face underneath and then finally, the boss mode would be creating a Snowman, the eggs are Snow Golem the exact same way. You do an iron golem and the Iron Golem would be called a snow yeti and its main priority would be to never leave your side and guard.

You know, like that. That might be a little too much, especially if you build a snow yeti and then have to go visit Desert that's not going to work. Yeah, I know it was it was a way out there thinking I like the different golems in the game and a Snow. Golems cool. So I was like, well, how can I wrap that up? And it's like, oh, will you take the properties of an Iron Golem? But you make it strictly a bodyguard for whoever creates the Golem. That's its life.

Purpose is to protect you Secret Service style. I feel like with the name Golem at the end Snow Golem, it doesn't really fit. Yeah. Yeah, you know I mean that's a snowman. You look at the freaking snowman, right? This is true. It's not a Golem it. Systemic, you think a Golem you think Rock creature type of your iron golem iron creature type but big and bulky. Yeah I don't see I don't know why Golem is involved in his name. Yeah that's one thing I would

take out maybe snow guy. Well that's a little that's creative Jimbo snow guy okay there is lore about Golem's having their name because they're created by us. There somebody or there. What do you call it? Summon brought to life summoned. Yeah, by a person. So that's where the word Golem probably came from. May be wrong, maybe not. It sounds about right. Yeah. But yeah you think Golem you think bigger and but I thought snow goal woman saw it.

I was like that's just knew it. That's a snowman. I think the best way to use the snow golem is Is to give Farm it for the snow layers underneath. You don't have to dig up any snow ever. You can have a snow layers farm for you. Just keep a pumpkin in one place. It's not very hard to make. Yeah, super easy. I bet there's going to be a lot of those in this update terraforming and snow using layers and stuff. Probably going to see a lot of

those Farms, I imagined. Yeah, but one idea I had you had your ideas. I was just thinking, you know, just to throw it out there. What if you could put that Pumpkin back on his head. Okay that's it. Just put it back. If you want it back take it off and on bed that would be since what if they had different phases. You know they all have the same face. What if they had?

I don't know, maybe the mouth pixels of the mouth were random, you know, and they just give you different looks up to be pretty neat. That would be cool. See what Derpy face. This one has no Shear them off and give you more on a reason to build them. Yeah, guy collect them. All right, right. That's Syd. That's all good.

It's that's all you got. Let's move on to our topic from last week, we never got to. Yeah, and this is random thoughts on 117. We're doing another random thoughts mainly because the snapshots have been kind of slow. They've been introducing new stuff, but not enough to really carry a full topic. So a bunch of small quick topics we've had we gave you guys one last week, but here's the other for this week, I'll let Jimbo

read. First one first, before we read these we did we'd cover the topic in the pre-show about like snp's and you know gel and when with other people we drug that on pretty good we could he use that as a topic so that's some good stuff if you want to hear that. Yeah, if you guys want us to talk about snp's, especially the formation of common craft and stuff like that because that was a long drawn out process. Yeah.

So my first random thought I really want to get Those new cave sounds and feel similar to like the nether. Yes. How you get that Ambience? I want that underground. I don't know how easy it be to do that above ground. I think it'd be a biome based Ambience. But, uh, yeah, I just, I really want that under the ground to give you that. I don't know. It seemed to like, put you on edge in the nether, just that sounds and everything.

And I would, I would like that also underground 100% agree with you. The another With us and with everything that they've done that when cave and cliffs update was announced. It's like, nope, got to have what I had in another. But this time in the Overworld, I need ambient sounds. I need cool. Look at biomes a new blocks, their usefulness, too late. They spoiled us. So my first random thought is I mentioned this a couple episodes ago. I want to another new disk music disc Pig.

Step was too awesome for us to leave off there, why? With the warden responding to sound at frequencies all the stuff, maybe the new music discs sues, the wording. So while it's playing the warden doesn't attack, you like it chooses to listen to the music instead of listed for you to attack you. That is a brilliant idea. I love that. That'd be one way to get around the word in nice and easy without having to kill it. Yeah. And every every hostile mob has a weakness, you know? Hmm.

I mean, of course you would think Warden, they can only hear. Maybe can be some kind of sound you make that like paralyzes them or something? Yeah. Or maybe it just puts them in their happy place and, you know, and they're just standing there. That's more what I thought was. Maybe the music discs could put the word in its happy place and maybe you look over and it's kind of swaying and dancing to the music. It didn't care about you. It's got its Good Times Rolling.

Yeah, I thought so angry anymore. Hmm. Maybe like shakes shakes and move. Yeah. Kind of like parrots you guys in the warden. Down there. Dancing bears. He's so funny. I do like that. Yeah. Okay. My next one is New. Y axis growth is going to be epic and terrible. Yes, here's why the world expands that is epic. More building room or base ideas, just so much more to the world problem is there's a big

problem. We have experienced it yet as it dropped the update, the rendering So much more. And there's going to be so much more to render and it goes by chunk. So it's from the bottom to the top. You're rendering all this stuff in and you're rendering multiple chunks around you that go from the bottom to the top. So I'm really skeptical about the performance at the beginning. You know, is, yeah. Are these worlds going to be able to handle 10? 12 players at first, you know,

rendering in this world? I don't know. So it's a, it's a wait and see. So yeah, I'm excited about it but I'm also terrified. Yeah, we're all still gun-shy from 113 in the fact that salmon and cod essentially would kill a

server, right? I agree with you and it worries me, I will say since 113, they've done a very good job of making sure that an update was as optimized as possible at the time because obviously, you fully, you can't fully test an update until Players get it in their hands and stress test the heck out of it. Right. Then there's a you know, Bedrock Bedrock seems to render in a lot smoother than Java. Some kind of curious how they handle it. You know, would it be similar to

ours or way? Better Bedrock. I think renders in everything at one time, like they're not doing chunks like that tire areas rendered. Hmm. I might be wrong some Bedrock player, let me know but I think that's the way it is probably right? Yeah I'm kind of curious about their performance as well. My R2 is I don't think we've seen all the cave types yet. I think some cave types are being held back just in case they have time restraints and

they're not sure. They can really get the formations out the way they want them to be. Hmm. Like the big one that kind of gets pushed around as we want ice K as we want ice caves and Mojang kind of hinges. Like yeah. We know you want ice caves trust us. We know. But we have to deliver on what we've said we wanted to deliver on already first. Right. That's a good point. I don't think we've seen all of the caves. But this might be the only caves we get for now.

Yeah, I agree. I definitely agree there. Yeah, you got to polish up what you got? First, get the bugs out especially if you have that issue with the rendering. Yeah, it's just another biome. It's got a render. Hmm. And if they do, do me a solid and put those new caves in sounds or new, feel with the in the Sounds in. Uh-huh. That's going to be particles rendered in, it's going to be more suffering, or didn't ya? My next one is what is the word? Protected.

This was brought up by King be dogs and never really got an answer. Yeah, I'm just curious of what kind of structures will generate down there with them? You see that one little area they went into in the snapshot, or the review, and yeah, just a couple chest. Some candles you don't see much of it right now, I'm really curious of where what this place is going to look like. I'm sure you'll have, you know, your skulk sensors and stuff. Things of that nature but yeah you have any idea.

What could be down there with the warden? No, I know what I'm hoping for and I really doubt it's going to happen but I'm hoping for like a woodland mansion that has fallen in a sinkhole and been buried over the world, so like maybe the warden was the protector of the house now that the house is in the deep dark, he's obviously gone blind because it's too dark. To see and now, relies on sound waves, to navigate themselves around. Mmm, that's what I'm hoping to find a dilapidated or

dilapidated. There we go. Mansion underground. Why level - 40 so that'd be awesome. Kind of doubt it but nothing in a mansion I know. Right. Oh man, if you can become friends with that thing. Whoo, that's a worry about any mobs, mmm. My next random thought is, I don't think we've seen all New blocks in this update yet either. Mmm, we get got some, oh, got a lot more just came. You've already gotten enough blocks.

I don't think we're done yet. I think there's at least one or two blocks hidden out there that might come. I'm looking at you slate not deep slate, just slate. There could be some new ones added that mountain. We haven't seen too much of the mountain. This is true also just what the Bedrock brought, maybe a frozen tree type or something. Maybe a mile.

Last random thought is how annoying the azalea bushes are going to be. Yeah, I notice a lot of times, you know, people show you the trick of bone mealing, a moss block with other blocks around it, they instantly turn into Moss blocks to really nice feature, you know, to gather this Moss block. But what comes with that are these azalea bushes and I don't think it's even like a moss thing. I think it's like even on grass. Yeah. You bonemeal this thing.

I could be wrong but every time I see people bone mealing, something these azalea bushes pop up there neat. You can use them in different areas, but I have a feeling, they will fill up in your inventory pretty quickly. When bone mailing and stuff, I just feel like they're going to be abundant. Yeah. So what you're saying is they're going to be the seeds of moss. Yeah. Those your most seeds it's going to take up your inventory. Yeah.

Every time you bonemeal grass and then you have to break the grass, you get a handful of seeds in your inventory, you Got to get rid of now. You're going to have azalea bushes. Yeah. And if you don't use them then it's going to be annoying. Get yourself a composter because azaleas are coming. Zey is coming to take over your composter coming for your mouth. Anyways, my last random time or random thought on 117 would be that it would be cool if you ate glowberries.

Maybe it gives you night vision for like 10 seconds or something like that. Yeah, as a side effect. Maybe gives you a glowing effect like you, if you don't have a torch you can eat a glow Berry and things will light up around you. That's not even in the base game yet. That's an optic line thing. Yeah, that's enough to find thing thought I had you thought you had some but you had nothing if it night vision would be pretty cool. Yeah, and it's not overpowered

for 10 seconds. It's a oh crap. I walked down into the deep dark. I can't see anything. I walked past these glowberries on the way down and let me Eat a glow. Barry. Hey, I can see, oh crap. That's awarded smash. You're dead. That's a good point. There's those new blocks that are down. There are darker, so it's going to seem a lot darker to. Yep. You might need of night vision. Might be essential for mining.

Now down there. Yeah, another thing I was going to mention earlier that I forgot, because I forget a lot of stuff I try to say is that block down. There is harder to mind takes longer to mine. And that's going to be annoying for branch mining that low. So though you can't cave you got a branch mine. Now Branch mining is a little bit harder so yeah they're definitely make it a little more challenging. Yeah it'll definitely be a non early game area like you're not

going to go mining down. There are on the regular your first week on the server. Right? And what we saw is looks like it was diamonds at 11. Still fine, find them there. Yeah, so should be all right. Yeah. Yeah, it's basically be your start out. Your do your normal caving, normal mining. Well, now you've started a chanting gear so now you go deeper now you start to get some really good stuff that you can upgrade with mmm. That's kind of it for a random thoughts and 117.
