Hey everyone. Welcome to weathering effect episode 88 today's date is March 28 2021 and I am Duds or Duds versus known to the rest of your webs. I'm Jimbo you may know me as Jimbo slice 23. And today we have a guest. You may know him from the Bedrock Guide Series. Ruiz prowl. Welcome to the show. Hello. It's my second. Welcome so far today. Appreciate it guys. No problem. One more coming, you got one more common. That's awesome. Well, thanks for inviting me on
the show. I appreciate it. I'm really honored to get to come on here and hopefully not mess things up too much, trust me. You cannot mess it up. More than me, and Jimbo do on a weekly basis. Not a chance challenge accepted. Yeah. Game on. Glad to have you. Yeah. So, we normally start out with what we've been working on the previous, Is there anything? Proud you could give us? That doesn't necessarily spoil your videos or you would like to talk about. You've worked on.
Well, first of all, I'm not 14. I've never really cared too much about spoilers anyways. Yeah, I did just have a video come out today on a blaze farm owned by play on Bedrock Edition and it is it interesting design. I try to keep my Guide Series in my videos focused on like practical survival things that are easy for the average player to do, but are also efficient for the Nicole player that likes things to be very efficient.
Yeah. I designed a blaze farm, that doesn't use any Redstone, except for the Trident killer at the bottom, which is, is absolutely awesome. We were talking about that in the pre-show man. We wished writing Killers for in Java is so cool. Oh man, it's the yeah, it's probably the coolest thing. Yeah, I tried to kill his really cool for you Ru Java players that don't know about them. Look up a trident killer just for no other purpose of seeing what it is.
Basically if you have any kind of mob grinder at all, Whether it be my farm or Guardian Farm Pigman Farm, whatever the case may be, instead of having an entity cram kill him, like I know a lot of you guys typically do instead, you can drop them into a trident. Killer you can hold out your looting sword. You get the Looting effect on everything that's killed, you don't have to swing your sword. Once you can sit there and AFK all night long and the tridents
don't take any durability loss. It is amazing man. Yeah, we heard about it like a week ago and I'm like, what is that, what I can. I was so jealous. Jealous to see something like that. When I saw you making it, I saw your to tridents like had no durability left. I go. Oh no, those are going to break and you're like, yeah, no durability come. Yeah, and just do it in their eyes just like what? That's even cooler.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Hopefully, you guys over in Java. Does she get them soon? I would like to see those Java players. Get to you such an amazing thing to. Yeah. Or we might have to just convert just for the Trident killer. Yeah, it might be worth it. Yeah. I was looking at your place farm and the way you guys do it. Definitely different and that's when when you were lighting it up, you only needed.
What was it? Six glowstone, whereas we need like half a stack because we have to expand it all out and every direction and stuff, I said to so much nicer are spotting range. Is actually a lot smaller for the spotters. I don't know if you caught that or not, but on Bedrock addition. It goes out and four in each Direction on The X and Z axis, but it makes a diamond shape instead of a square. Hmm. And then they only mobs will spawn one block above and one
block. Like below the spawner and I think if I'm correct here. Java spawns for above and four below? Yeah. Yeah didn't know that. Yep. Lot smaller space to have to cover me and Carl bildt one early in the ripple effect season and ours is also Redstone Les. But we use lava to kind of push them into a 2 by 2 whole. I don't know if lava works the same way with you guys or not. It does not lava, does not move the nether mobs in Bedrock addition. It doesn't have a flow to it in that way.
Manda interesting little parody changes. That or parody differences that there are that don't really make a lot of sense. Why they're they're like that, but there they are. There they are, like when you're doing the coral fan trick, I was just like, wait, what? Because the only thing we have that's like that is obviously trapdoors. Yeah, well, we used to have buttons, which was super easy, right?
He can make buttons out of a billion different materials and then like six months ago, they changed that I said yeah buttons are going to be viewed as a full block by Bob's anymore. So then somebody else discovered that Coral fans now hold that spot so little bit harder To get them but same effect and obviously a lot better than trap doors because mobs can kind of get caught on the edge of trapdoors and don't like the fall down and all that kind of stuff.
So it's a lot better of a yeah, of a block to use any time. We're trying to use trap doors to lure a mob. I mean, you got to put an item on the other side of the trap door that they really want. Uh-huh. Like zombies and pig lens, you put an egg for a villager, you put a workstation or a bed or something like that. Yeah, yep. Yeah. They'll jump right off their won't they? Oh yeah, they go skydiving. They don't care. Yep, Jimbo. How about you? How's your week? Been, not too bad.
Finally, finished my wolf arm episode. Finally, I've been talking about this for like a month now. Mmm. Yeah, finally got to it, got it. Finished up that came out Saturday. Yes. Yeah, yesterday also I got a brand-new car. Nice a 2019. Nissan Altima almost forgot. What I. Wow, yeah. Well, it's kind of for the wife, we traded hers. In was able to get that buddy of mine works at the dealership. So, you know, it's kind of hard
to trust him car dealers. So say able to find a friend in the business and it's pretty sweet car. It's a 4-cylinder, good on gas and it looks great. So I'm happy about that. So it's been a good week. They're really good week for me, but your wife's happy. Isn't her birthday tomorrow? It's her birthday tomorrow. Yeah, keep forgetting about that cool but she's got a car so I got it. We pass. Happy birthday to her. I just have my last week. Nice! Happy birthday.
Birthday is All Around Heaven. The gray hairs are creeping in now. So, I've had gray hair in my beard since I was like 20, waiting on them, but I found gray hair on top of my head this week. I'm just like, oh great. I'm already dealing with the male bald spot in the back. Now I got gray hair on the side. I'm just trying to keep as much hair as possible. It's starting to recede a little bit. Oh, I don't have that. The problem here is shave it all off. That's what I yeah, that's been
shaving. It easy fix. Hmm. So Jimbo any idea on what your next projects going to be? Yes, plan on finishing up that cheap form room and hooking it up. I haven't got the collection area done yet. I was actually working on that today. So actually have half the next episode Done. Nice. Yeah, that should be out within a week. So what you're saying is I have some bottles. Steal from, you know I'm on the
whole other side of the base. Come on, my base is 300 blocks wide and yeah, the bottles are on the other side. I'm working on the complete opposite end. I've got a honey bee farm that just eats through bottles, like crazy. It's funny because the shearing part of the farm, not a single Shear has broke yet. Well, as far as been up for months now, but I am going through bottles like crazy. It probably helps that I guess you guys are probably the same way, does it?
The Dispensers like randomly pick one of this year's inside to use. I'm assuming you probably. Did you enchant them all or no? Hmm. Okay nope. They're just normal shears and they've lasted that long. Yeah, Unbreaking be a good idea. Didn't really think of that. I think I have one cheer in each of them. I better get to that. You might want to change that up. See we've got iron Farms or whatever. So, going through shears to me, as long as I had easy access
wasn't that big of a deal. It was like, yeah. Whenever they break, I'll just throw some more in there and One of those have broke but man, the bottom was, I'll go through like a stack of bottles in my base for an hour and I'm just like yeah. Where does it go? That's another one is difference is I think is different with you guys because honey is a pretty good food source for you. Right? And it's not. Okay. It is a food source but it's not
very good. Okay, I think honey, we'll fix like a poison effect or bad Omen. Like I think it's like milk and that defect. Yeah, it does. No, I mean, only use it for her. Any blocks because my new thing now, is instead of items orders, I just straight up throw the honey block on the hopper and do the ice path next to it. Okay, that's so much nicer. Yeah, don't mess with the bees. I don't like bees, you keep saying that. I know you have a hidden Farm out back. No, I don't what?
No don't. What have you done this week? Duds. Let's move on this week. I worked on another tunnel actually started that in stream yesterday and I went ahead and I was bored. So I want to finish what I had started. So about a third of the tunnel is done, which is nice. Considering I'm getting really tired of walking on another egg and I've got intermittent constantly just teleporting on top of it. So I have to like, do the whole.
Walk with your head down thing. You can't fly through the tunnel because you just a grown intermittent and then it's instant death for me because I'm, I don't wear good armor. Also built a pumpkin farm, I was sitting there, I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and build this pumpkin farm and start an episode. That's an easy seven minutes to start the episode. I'm gonna do a time lapse and 13 minutes I was done in the time. Lapse is a minute and a half.
I was like, okay, that was a lot easier than it should have. Been usually goes one way or the other doesn't hinder the project last like ten times longer than you thought it was going to or it's done in like a couple minutes. You like? Oh, right. Okay. So what else can I do? When it's funny. You say that this is last week, I rebuilt a Tango Tech design called lucky levers. I don't know if you've ever heard of that, don't think so. He built it. Seven years ago.
Unlike the Moonlight server and some Like I'm going to redesign it and build it my way and everything. So I spent like a month and my creative world off and on messing with the red sounds like I got this all down pat and I build it and I have someone come over and play test it and it just broke and broke and broke. I'm like I said this episode was going to be out it's not going to be. Yeah it's rough when you put yourself against some kind of a
timeline to isn't it? And then you're just not ready in time. Yeah, right. Yeah. I switched away from that long ago because I used to have like a schedule where Like, I don't know what day is, it was Tuesday and Saturday or something. I would like put out episode. It's Just too stressful. So now like I just put out episode whenever it's ready. Yeah. The final thing I worked on was the short Jimbo remembers record that via. I've got a thing about YouTube shorts.
I've not really liked YouTube shorts and how they've implemented the pole and short system. Not all YouTubers, but I found a lot of the YouTubers. I'm following. Just do random polls that don't really make sense like, So one that asked if the sky was blue or not, just to kind of get the clicks. Yep. And get their stuff and then I'm like, don't take advantage if you're going to do something
like that. Make it worthy of somebody clicking on your video and I ended up going, you know what this woman do me and Jim have been talking about doing scripted segments for a long time and so I did a scripted, short called casual Fridays and it's something I want to bring back multiple times. It won't be every Friday, but it'll be as often as you can and we'll go out on Friday.
Day. And it's basically me Jimbo and Carl as if the withering effect was an office type situation and having fun and to me, I'm like there, this is how a shortage would be. It's it's different content than what you used to, instead of selfie, as I like to call it. It is different. Yeah, I have a, I have a really strong opinion about these YouTube shorts because kind of, like you said, I've seen people do these and they'd be like non-relevant to pretty much anything.
Mmm. And I've seen people Like creators that I know will they'll pull it a ton of views and and like double their Channel size with these shorts, right? Yeah, and if you know anything about how YouTube works, one of the things that I'm sure. I know you guys said earlier, the pre-show that you weren't too heavy into video analytics, but one of the more simple ones that people look at and understand is CTR your click
rate, right? So that's just simply if your thumbnail shows up, when somebody screen, what percentage of the time, does somebody click it versus Not click it. It's a simple way of looking at it.
Mmm. So imagine if you make this short that has nothing to do with anything, any of your content whatsoever or your channel in general, it's just some random thing that you did to get a bunch of clicks and Views. Well, it's going to backfire on you because you're gonna get a lot of subscribers from that YouTube short, being shown to hundreds of thousands of people. Those people are then going to subscribe to your channel.
And then the next time you make a regular video of your normal content, they're not going to watch it because they didn't subscribe to you for that. Right? And then that videos, CTR click rate is going to be down and then YouTube's can recommend it less and years going to take your channel. So a by, to think about doing
YouTube shorts, for sure. Like they could be a tool, just make sure that they're somewhat relevant to your channel and people that click on those will likely also click on your other stuff so you don't end up paying for it later, good call, and I'm all for like Easter eggs. So I'm hiding Easter eggs in plain sight and Lisa's first short like anyone who has followed ripple effect for the past two years under And we've
got a player on the server name. Bob knee who's totally against wearing pants, like won't wear pants armor or anything like that. So I did--when ahead did the first episode. The how the show got its name is that quote unquote corporate was going to give us casual Fridays back. Even though we had an incident where none of us would wear pants so that was kind of a little nod to the Head. Hey Omni, we know you've been supporting us for a long time. Here you go.
Here's a episode dedicated to you will join. You pantsless, I guess at least there's Useful enchantments that are only for pants so you kind of get away with it. Exactly. Yeah. You find some useless that's kind of my week. Should we go ahead and move on to news because the news is light this week? Yeah, not too much. The only news was Bedrock, got an update. I don't know how they really called it. Is it a snapshot? It's a beta beta.
That's it. So Bedrock has caught up on the fact that the world height has increased but the one thing you guys so have over. Java is you got goats? Yes. If we're going to have anything it needs to be goats. Let us hold on to that for just a little bit longer. You know, we don't need all the other cool stuff like deep Slade and and, you know, all the other cool things that come with update the cave generation, as long as they have goats. Refined you got the goods.
The big gift. That's the one thing I've been really jealous about that. Bedrocks been getting in these betas is that they got to play with the goats first. And I'm one of those that I don't like jumping into the It's in seeing them until the actual finished products out there. But I'd probably jump in and play with the goat a little bit
to see what it's like. Yeah, actually, I kind of have to jump in because since I'm running a guide series and we're going to like, reset our world when the new update comes out, like, I feel like I kind of have to know everything about everything, right? So just so I look like, I know what I'm doing. Hopefully series, relaunch has ah, who needs to look like they do?
That's what I do. But also the, the beta that Just came out, they came out with the, The Cliffs one which did raise the world height, but then they came out with another one on this last week. That also lowered right the world generation as well. So now it goes down. There's no like news like generation, you blocks or anything down there but they have like the full range
generation top to bottom now. Nice there's one thing else also jealous about the Bedrock is how smooth the rendering is. Yeah. I was really nervous about Javas rendering with all this world. It's got a render in now and I feel like Bedrock is not going to have as big of an issue as
Java is with that. Yeah, it's kind of weird because I don't play Java really like, I have job on my computer and I'll load up a snapshot just to check things out every once in a while, but I don't, I don't primarily play it. Mmm. And if you only play Bedrock like you're going to find, it's kind of funny.
Like we also complain about rendering quite often, although it's definitely a lot better when you can compare to the way Java Works. Mmm, you know key example A lot of people don't know unless you've played Bedrock before or is with you guys. You kind of have one setting that's rendering and everything just loaded is loaded. So ever if you can see it, if you can render it in. That particular thing is running. Loaded calculations are happening, whatever and Bedrock,
actually, does it different. You have a simulation distance in a render distance. So your simulation distance is everything within this amount of chunks is loaded and running and then beyond that you have render distance and that actually allows the game to render a lot further. Like you'll see people with even like a mediocre computer or kind of poor computer like Like I can render out 54 chunks and some people with really good, computers can rent out, render
out over, 100 chunks away. So really makes the world feel a lot larger and a lot smaller. At the same time, if you play, if multiple people, because imagine you render out a hundred, something chunks away, you can literally see everybody space that you play with from one location. Yeah. Java has something like that. It's not exactly like that. They've just recently brought it in I think it was 116 or it might have been 115 where you can choose an entity render distance whoo over.
Over just a normal render distance. And I want to say, I heard recently from exhume avoid that. They're so like OptiFine, there's another rendering Improvement software called sodium and they were playing with the fact that you could have stuff quote-unquote, not render in if you're not looking at it. So it would still be doing the math and stuff, but it would kind of put it on the back burner and save the visuals. So give you more horsepower and stuff.
Okay. Obviously it comes with Pitches, but you guys don't have anything like OptiFine or sodium for Bedrock. Do you know? Because like anything that's like like truly like third party like that, that changes the game code at all that you can't Bedrock, doesn't allow that kind of stuff like they don't allow access to the game code like that and so what they've done more of is give like actual Creator tools or permissive access to a lot of different things that can be done in a
game that they do allow. So it does limit things a lot, but at the same time, there's still a lot that can be done. Done. Yeah, I know a lot of them is like, misconception out. There is bedrock. Can't be like modded and I think like in a, like a true definition case. That's true because you can't actually moderate the game code. But a lot of the things that, you know, maybe you're more, popular mods, do either aren't
needed. Like, we don't need to OptiFine, just to like, have a playable version of the game. Like, it runs fine on its own, but there's a lot of like add-ons that do a lot of things that mods due to job additions. For all intents and purposes, you know, to the player. You can have a modded experience as you can say, people say? Well Bedrock anyway, I always felt that yet. It could be, it's just called something different.
Yeah, yeah, we call it add-ons, you have Behavior packs and resource packs, that changed the game. Mmm, they just don't change the game code. It's just, these are things that have been like the devs have opened up to allow us to change through means that they've created. Instead of it being means that the player or the Mater has Dated on the case of java. Yeah, I think the most popular mod I use specially as a content. Creator is the replay.
Mod comes in handy. Oh gosh, don't get me started, man, I would love to have that. Mmm, I've played with it, some like, loading Java and like sometimes every once in a while, like I'll take like a world and convert it from Bedrock to Java, just to get some replay mod footage of it. Hmm. But if there's one thing the Java has its own ice, it's just it's the like Roll Creator
tools. Yeah, that are out there that we just Bedrock can't do. And again, my understanding is like, it would be possible for somebody to create it on Bedrock, but it would require modifying game code and that would be against their terms of service for the Bedrock edition of the game. So you can't do it unless you want to get in some kind of big trouble. Dang, that's a shame, maybe one day, maybe one day, one day.
Maybe. So we were just talking about the 117 beta for Bedrock out of all the stuff you've seen so far. Far, whether it be Java or Bedrock. What is the one thing you're looking forward to the most about though? Just a couple of a couple things instead of one thing? I can't wait for the warden. I love a good mob fight and I kind of hope we see a little bit more like can he have like another cool mob that's like down there with him as opposed to just a normal mom. Yeah.
Or is it just going to be the warden and that's it? Like, I would love something else to go with him, but I think that's going to be fun. And then just my second thing, I would add in is just the cave generation and gent as a general. Topic is so awesome. It literally is changing. The entire like early-to-mid. And in a way even the late game of Minecraft. Yeah. Like nothing's gonna be the same. It's not like the nether update where I'm sure 75 percent of players.
Never even go to the nether. Anyways, as cool as it is like most people are just definitely afraid of it. Hmm. And don't go there. This is going to affect everybody and it's literally going to change everything with how you play the game. Even if you don't even Venture into caves that much, Like lighting up stuff for Bob farms. And, you know, whatever the case may be it's nuts. It's really crazy to think about, don't get it. Started on lighting up.
That's been one of my things. It's like yes, the new cave generation looks gorgeous, but it's going to take me forever to like, two suckers. Yeah, yeah. You might have to try to find a place that maybe doesn't have as many, but I mean, that might be kind of hard to because, you look at these like, what do they call it? Spaghetti caves, you're going to have won all sorts of crazy tunnels going everywhere. Mmm, it's not going to be easy to find all that some of those are massive to.
Yeah. You fly through. Oh yeah, it looks great. Well, I want to say, there's still tweaking the size like the original like, hey, this is a spaghetti cave. And what is it? This is a break and all, I think all of those were oversized on purpose to emphasize. Yeah. What they were doing and I think now, they're tweaking it and making things smaller to be more manageable in game.
You know, one thing I'm looking to see cuz this it didn't exist in the Bedrock beta because we got the, we got the cliffs beta and the beta, right? And we got to play that. There's no there's zero caves generating in a Cliffs. Mmm. So I'm kind of curious are I would assume they're going to have caves in them. Are they're going to are they just going to be the same type of cave generation? You see everywhere else? Or is it going to be some type of generation?
It's Unique to the cliffs. Hmm. Yeah, it's good question. It'd be interesting to see how it's going to work. Is that kind of picture like, you know, a little K that comes into side that I don't know, you see, like movies like a bears, like sleeping or something like
that, you know what I mean? Like, just a little like caves here and they're poking in and Yeah, it'd be a neat way to find like, you know, some of the oars that are up in the higher mountain region to find them inside of caves and that kind of thing. No definitely.
Yes. Some of those oars are specific for the mountains now and I think I heard I can't remember, it's one of the previous shows you guys were talking about the or generation mmm-hmm, and while I really like the or generation a lot the way they're doing it where it's spread out, you kind of got to be a little bit more strategic about it. There's areas that are a lot more dense less than etcetera. Hmm. One thing it's you Don't think
about, but they show. Like if you can remember that little chart pictured in your head, where it shows like way up, high like emeralds and cold, like really generate a ton of pyrite. Hmm. But if you think about it, way up high, there's almost no blocks up there. You're talking about mountain peaks. So, whereas you would think all I'm and I can go up there. I can find emeralds for days actually doesn't work out that way.
I did a video where I like, cleared out all of the blocks except for the emerald and coal blocks. Mmm. You don't see as many up there as you would probably like to because there's there's by the time you get to any substantial like piece of mountain like a why piece of mountain you're starting to get further down into the generation and you're just not finding it as densely there so I'm gonna maybe something hopefully they can tweak something like that here to make bad in those things a
little bit. Even more frequent up at the tops of the Peaks. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't realize it. You like you said you just think why just go up higher? Well now you go up higher. There's less hi-yah. You ran out of blocks. Yeah it's Like, what the heck? Yeah, they're supposed to be around here somewhere, but it is cool. Like, if you check it out, like, you see, especially like on the actual mountain side. Like you see Emerald or like,
all over the place? So, it might actually be, whereas your traditional, like caving in or Branch mining down into caves is the way you go there. Like honestly, it might just be best to bring a shovel and just knock out all the snow and then just grab everything is on a
surface of the mountain. Yeah. It's what I'm thinking is going to be the best strategy if you're like early game and want to A lot of coal or like, I know people say emeralds, are you know what, I need emerald in the mountains for because I got villager trading that I can do, which is true, right? But like, when you're first several days of a world, you don't really have that like
infrastructure setup yet. So you can just go up into the tops of the mountains with a shovel and knock out a bunch of snow at your way. And you could probably get a whole bunch of emeralds really quick, just to kind of get that early Game ending book or, you know, whatever the case may be. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So we talked about what you're looking forward. To the most. What something that You just kind of met on this coming up date, man. You know, that's going to be a
hard one to think of, I guess. Okay. So here's one and, and I have a theory, as to why they're not doing this, but they've kind of said, they're not going to be touching done the dungeons. The mob spawners. Yeah. Yeah. Feels like a missed opportunity. Yeah. Really big one, right? Because mob spawners are really playing. They don't really serve especially with like all the ways we have to like get items and XP and stuff. Now they almost don't serve a
big purpose anymore, right? Like it's not It's not a cool fun thing to do like it used to be so like that's a spice them up a little bit. Like it'd be really cool if they were like small generated structures and like they could even intentionally like have it to where, I think, right now if I'm not mistaken is very random and then you just can get lucky and have like two or three cloves, so we can write it be
cooler. If they built in more of a chance for their, for these dungeons to be connected to each other, where you have two, three, four, spawners that are all close to each other and that would maybe happen a little bit more frequently. Yeah, yeah. And it would maybe bring a little bit of excitement back to them and a purpose for people to seek them out. And just make it cool again, you know, for sure. But I have a theory, I have a theory.
Okay. Okay. If they keep doing everything in One update, they're not going to have stuff to do in future updates, right? True. Maybe next year or the year after maybe there's a structure update where they take all these different structures and they update all of them. You get a new mansion, you get a new stronghold, you get a new dungeon. And all these different things. So I think maybe that's something that they kind of, can't do it all because then they won't have anything to do
in the future, you know? Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely sounds interesting. That's something we never really brought up or the dungeons. They never really touched. I think we might have brought up once we brought it up once when we found out that they weren't touching it. And I went well that stinks as about it. Yeah. There's other stuff to complain about like bundles. Yeah oh gosh yeah I was going to bring that up. I wanted to call you out on that a little bit if that's okay. Yeah.
Yeah, go for it. Okay. So I didn't get to hear your full. So what is so what is your what is your main argument against bundles? Why do you dislike them so much? So I feel bundles are one intentionally meant for early game. So which is fine. Except it takes rabbit hide, which isn't necessarily always an easy thing to get early game. Okay. And by early game, remember, I'm playing differently than a lot of people. So, usually by the end of the first week, we have shoulder boxes.
Yeah. So it's like if you just make, if they can be made out of leather, that would be a huge Improvement instead of making it rabbit hide. Because sometimes I'll go a week or two, without being able to find carrots. Then again, I'm usually not necessarily searching out carrots. I'm like a cow done, bring the cow and I've now got a cow Farm. Okay, so let me throw this at you, okay?
So first of all, you're going to have a new place to find rabbits and that's going to be in the mountains because the like I can't remember what the sub biome that are using is called but one of the biome. In there, there's going to be rabbit spawning. So now you can find an amount and we're in the desert. Hmm. But I don't think models are early game. So you guys, you consider yourself a, like, you're a builder, right? You like to build? Yeah. You like the detail.
You like to use a bajillion different blocks. Correct. So, what do you do as you go through and you're building? And okay. Well, now I have three of this stair left. Now I have two of that. Slab left. And now I have a, you know, you end up with all these odds and ends pieces that you keep half to having to make chests for to store it. A chess or Going into shoulder boxes and I will now I need more shulker boxes because I got three more of this in five more of that.
So what if you just keep a couple of bundles on you while you're building and then your inventory is not filling up costly because? Okay, well I'm done with this one. I have this one wall left over. I'm not using. I have these two trapdoors leftover am not using. Let me throw them into my bundle. Now my inventory space is freed up again. I can bring in some more blocks to pull in to use for my build without having to fill up 50,000 chests in the process. That's a good point.
All right, so I see a lot of Utility, therefore for Builders, but early game to, for sure, like, you know, caving and spoiling, that kind of stuff, but yeah, I can see it being very useful for somebody that builds and just doesn't want to deal with all of those odds in and blocks that we all get when we're working on a build, we have to empty your inventory over and over, and over again. You're correct. But in the way I see it, my Counterpoint would be so it is
cleaning up your inventory. And it would, it honestly would be great for. I finished a project. I now need to clean up my area. It's just like, if you're in the middle of building, And now you've got to get something out of that bundle. You basically got a bit, your bundle out to find the one item you need be. It does spew out all the items, if they were to make jam in and out of the bundle and easier like gooey, then 100% on it but that whole just but that's how we explain it.
Always all the bundle out is just like oh no come on man. Yeah they should have it because I think I haven't got to play with them yet because they don't have them on Bedrock. But in Java when you hover over Were the bundle at least does now show you all the blocks in there, right? Correct. Yeah. So, I guess they should, it would be nice if they had. It's where you could go like, hover over the block and like, hit Q or hit a button, it just drops it.
It drops that block out. I think that would be the last piece of utility. They could add into bundles and they would, I think they would fit their role in the game, pretty well, at that point. Exactly. If they did that, I would backtrack a lot of my hate for bundles because then they do kind of serve a purpose. Even though I wouldn't find them as useful as a shocker box. It's still have a use better than a choker box because I can't get inside a smoker box. So I place it down.
So having a window screen that I can hop in and get stuff in and I don't. Yeah, let's do it. I mean you could just keep up like a bundle shulker box to like all those odds and ends because it can like I can fill a shocker box up quick when I'm working on a building project with just all like the like little bits and pieces. And next thing, you know, she'll cry box. It is supposed to hold thousands of items.
I probably only have like 100 total items in there because they're tiny stacks of like all sorts of different things. Things. Yes, you could at least consolidate a little bit more with the bundles. Yeah, my big inventory fix is what I call the Hotbar inventory. We're just basically every hour or every, every row of 9 in your inventory is just a straight-up hot bar and you should be able to like shift H, or something, and rotate hotbars all the way through.
So you can op are we just tools and stuff and other hot Bar says, okay, here's these textures. I want to use to me. That's the easy fix. Yeah and so like seeing hey, Going to fix your inventory with bundles? I was like wait what? Yeah, because you know you have your kind of have my sword if I'm going to defend myself and okay. I need these three different tools as a switch round between things. And let me have my food and let
me have my rockets. And next thing, you know you have like, two slots left for building blocks and you're you're like, in and out of your inventory all the time, swapping stuff, your solution. There is probably the perfect one. It would make things a lot easier. Yeah and I'm sure my solution could use tweaks and fixes and somebody can do it better mate. That's why they have their jobs and they're professionals.
I'm not but yeah, when I heard that they were going to help fix inventory and their solution was bundles disappointment, which me the nice way to point it. Yeah, I think pixel riff said it best like adult, don't consider it as a fix to all the inventory problems. Consider it. It's like one piece of the puzzle to fix a particular issue but they still have to. They have to do something to fix the rest of the issues for sure. Yeah, it's cool. They actually attempted it. Yeah, they took in.
What? Everyone was talking of the Minecraft communities gripes about the inventory and actually put some thought into it. So the fact that they're listening is a pretty big deal. Mmm especially when you're adding in so many new blinds. I never would have thought that so many blocks. We get added into this update at all. Good grief, I absolutely love.
I remember when they were doing the hey, we can't add blocks because our inventory management like not necessarily in game, but you give them saying the code inventory management. Is not up to par. They're like, oh, we got, we got to fix that before. We can start adding new blocks and now that they fixed that, we're just getting block after block after Block in the new update.
So I'm just like, yes, he complain about that except for well, except for your inventory, except for my inventory and concrete stairs and slabs. I'm going to keep bringing that up. Yeah, they probably hate it as much as I say concrete stairs and slabs just saying, you know, at some point it's going to be an update that they're going to do and it'll be like the stairs and slabs like, It's gotta be.
And then like everybody's mind is just going to explode like oh my gosh, I can't wait to get it. Yeah. But seeing I'm not even that guy, who's like? I need a dirt slab and understand. Its, I know that doesn't make any sense but a concrete slab and stare at, those are things in real life. It makes sense to put them in the game. He had my stairs out, front are concrete. I want this in Minecraft. I don't care about the dirt slab. I don't care about the gravel
slab or staring. A thing like that. Oh you guys are going to offend people with that watch out now. Oh yeah. I know, I know the terraformers, they're getting angry. I think it would be more acceptable if we had better ways to mob proof things because face, that's that's a lot of why I use stairs and slabs. It's just too Ma proof mmm-hmm and I would love to use more full blocks if I could mop roof and better ways, and I'm sure they're toying with ideas and stuff on how to do that.
I know a ton of people have like, keep recommending You do with the beacon, say like my proof and I think it's a bad idea, but it definitely should be like, a harder thing to get like, to be able to do. I don't know if that's like, hey, you have to make your beacon out another right blocks, or if it's something else because that would be kind of hard to do. But yeah, I think definitely something is needed to help with mop Roofing because it probably doesn't help gain performance either.
Like, we're sitting here putting like, a thousand pressure plates, like all over the ground. Just to keep mobs from spawning, you know? Yeah. And those are constantly going, was I stepped on was I said, Dawn was I said that can't be good for the code. Yeah, definitely not. But out of the things you've seen now, is there anything you would like to see? And the upcoming update?
I know, they haven't really shown Us near probably all that they're going to show us but like, I've been really looking for. I want to see some kind of ice cave. I think that would be great. Yes, I was going to say that actually. Yeah, there we go. It makes sense to do. Like, right. We have a glacier by let's have ice caves because we already think of like ice spikes and
things like that. Like, that's a thing in real life like it. It looks so cool if you have like these varying degrees of like ice in there and you have ice spikes coming down and it would just be.
Yeah, it would be a more sensible experience and then that was one thing and then the other thing I would like to see and you guys, I have a think that you guys are probably like this is but well, I don't know because it's not something is really possible in Java quite yet, but let's get some colored lighting, please. Yeah. We'd like it. My idea for that was the glow squids. We have them drop, they drop
glow, ink sex. Okay and then you combine a glow ink sack with a dye and it gives you glow ink, so glow, cyan glow, you know, whatever. Right right. And then you can buy that in the crafting recipe with either a 10 dried or a sea lantern because those are both white lights. Yeah. So it would make sense that.
Okay. Well, I can mix in a glow red dye and make Red light or, you know, do it for all 16 colors would be such a great thing for them to do and it would be easy like way for them to integrate it in. If they can figure out colored lighting, yeah, on Java Edition. That being said, I think they're getting close to the fact that we're now getting shaders as like a stock vanilla thing. Mmm. So I think they're definitely, that's something they want to add because let's face it.
You see all these people, using the r-tx on bedrock and it's gorgeous. Like if there was something to To draw me away from java to play on Bedrock. It would be wanting to play on the r-tx worlds. Oh, yeah, for sure. And it's writing killer and to try to try to kill her, but we'll like you're saying an easy fix, maybe not even so much having the glow effect colored but just allowing me to die. And in Rod, or die is see
Lantern, a different color. So, even though it's not may be producing a blue hue or anything like that, it gives me the ability to make the light looked like that color. Yeah, yeah, the block that color. Yeah, that would make sense. Hopefully they I mean, I don't think they're gonna do it at this point in this update but hopefully something similar to that happens in the near future.
For sure, like I said all the devs from that we've had on the show, they say they listen and watch everything. So we get that. They've already got this update, kind of figured out what they want to do and stuff. And it's just, we're just shooting ideas out there that, who knows, maybe two years down the line. They're like, hey, you know what, that actually can work now? Yeah, for sure.
Or, I mean, you never know. Like, they could, Watch, they get inspired by something from somebody somewhere and decide to like, okay, we're going to get this in the game right now. So yeah, you never know what can happen at a know where we're in the credits. Doubtful? Probably not but I'll fight the dragon and watch the credits and see if I appear in there. What yeah what's your names more than likely? It'll be an email saying.
Okay, you guys could stop complaining now anyways so let's go ahead and move on. We want to Throw in there. Carl's got a special disc or dad for you guys to remember Discord is the only place where you can really talk to me, Carl Jimbo and everyone even our guests are on Discord and stuff so you can hit us up there. But it's also the place where you can get involved in our new project. And here's Carl to explain Hi everyone.
We have a new project that you can get involved in our brand new website at the withering effect.com allows us to post transcripts with each of our episodes. This helps people who are hard of hearing access our content easier and helps improve our search engine position, bringing more listeners to the show. This is where you come in. We are looking to put together a team of people to help us write
transcripts for each episode. If you would like to get involved and for more information head over to the Discord, using the link in the show notes, and ask to be put on the transcriptions team, thanks for your support. All right, thanks for that Carl. Like I said, the discords, the only place you can get involved and a lot of our stuff, but it's also the only place you can do The Mending Minecraft vote this
week. We asked you guys to choose between one of three items for us to discuss and improve the choices were nametag clock and crossbow and the winner of mending Minecraft. This week is Clock, I didn't see that coming. Didn't see it coming. Big ol oof. Yeah, couldn't have been crossbow, you know, that's easy to fix and improve and everything, right? But we got 35 votes for the clock, 12, for the name, tag in 19 for the crossbow.
So people really want to see us, approve this clock, sorry, but you guys are going to be laying down this week. Sorry guys. Clocks are time telling devices that display the current in-game position of the sun and the moon clocks only function properly in the Overworld in the Nether and the end. They kind of just go all wacky.
Yeah they're crafted with for gold ingots and one Redstone Dust clocks would be traded for with expert level Librarians and pig lens are attracted to clocks and run towards any clock on the ground. Pretty much just like gold and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it. Their inventory in that is all I got for clocks. Yeah, clocks are. Definitely, I say niche, as in the fact, I never crafted a clock tow this season, but because I've built a lot of my base indoors.
There's not a lot of outdoors. I never know if it's day or night time. I have like six clocks in my basis. He's wow, wow. Yeah, it's very weird because my base is kind of stretched out a bit. So, I'm just, like, can I go outside yet? Oh, It's dark. I better sleep but there are only two real things about the clocks that I went. Wait, what? Number one, they don't work with a comparator. Hmm, think about that right? Interesting and to me that's the
easiest fix. So I don't know if it's like this in Bedrock but daylight sensors and Java are wonky really? Yeah. Daylight strength signal is like 15 and then a nighttime strength signal. Is like 11 fry a little bit more than maybe maybe 12 but it's very different. So last season, I tried to build a functional clock. Mmm. Just a big clock tower that would Circle and I really only needed it to light up for
lights. I was like, well I'll just do it in quarters and then I'll be fine and because the nighttime and daytime or so different. It didn't really work out very well. You basically have to build two separate circuits for that. And then I was just like, Shouldn't a clock kind of work. Like an item frame does where you can see the animation, put out a different Redstone signal and they don't do that. Yeah.
And it's like they kind of showed it would fix daylight sensors at the same time because then I wouldn't have to use on it kind of as if you'd rotate an arrow right inside the item frame, you get a different signal. Hmm. Yeah. I could see that. And finally, the only other issue I have is the textures a bit weird to get used to one. Figure it out, it's fine. Such as you're waiting till night, time to sleep, right? So you would assume the second. You see any kind of night on that clock?
You can go ahead and hit your bed and go to sleep, but no, you got to wait for the nighttime to get to what's considered the 12:00 position before you can sleep. So the texture is a little weird and that bit, it's confusing to get used to once you get used to it. So it's okay. There's not a lot of improvements for a clock, guys. Yeah, you actually stole mine because I wrote that down. When you brought it up earlier, but you should be able to place a clock down kind of like an
item frame, right? And then like, take a compared to Output like through a block or something like that. And like put out a different, Redstone signal all the way up to, you know, from zero all the way up to 15 or whatever, right? Yeah, I mean, I would make sense to do. I don't see why they wouldn't do it. And it would just give like another way for people to, you know, you don't have something cool in the game. You can have stuff happen. Hmm, at different times
throughout your base. Like how neat would that be? Maybe I want this. Marmot on at this time in this Farm one at that time or you know, whatever like crazy things that you could think of to do with it. I'm sure people would have like all sorts of like wild ideas for like how to tie things into clocks, but it would be just it all of it takes a block or an item in this case that has no use whatsoever for the most part except for your long base where you can't tell what time it is outside.
It gives and it gives it a technical use and people would be using them frequently, I would think. Yeah. I mean 19. Nine percent of the time people go. What time is it? They look up because they can see outside. Yeah, you're right me. I'm a underground mole rat. So I just hang out there. I will say Jay, man, had a good comment on it and I won't use it exactly because he's talking about creating a whole new clock, but it'd be really cool if the animations for the clock.
Maybe had a little notification on villager work times because obviously they only work twice during the day. So it'd be cool if you could be like okay That I see a little villager there. That must mean they're working. Yeah, that'd be neat. Something else. You could tie into Redstone in some way, right? Like, indicator lights, or something like that. Like, owes time for them to work, like, all the lights have caught on. I know, they're working now.
Mmm. Yeah, I like to see it as like a actual block. You can't really place down a clock. Yeah, it's an item. Yeah, granny. You could, you could put it in item frame, but, uh, I mean, everyone's got their like, creative like, grandfather clock designs. There's a pretty neat, it does it. Does bring out the creativeness if it isn't a block to place I guess. Yeah. Who here's another idea. You bring up like a big grandfather clock, what if not only do you make it a place will
item similar to an item frame? But what if as you like place them like say you place four of them in a square they like change to like a bigger clock. Hmm here we go. Or you can make a three by three clock or like it would have a limited obviously at some point but that be kind of neat like then you could have that like Times Square like Big Clock Tower. Like feel and it actually be a functional thing. I'd be pretty awesome.
Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say there's not really a precedent for that but there is when you look at Maps is maps are separate entities. That would you put together in the correct? Configuration create one bigger one. So yeah, that'd be cool. Alright so let's go ahead and get on to our main topic which is all about proud whoo-hoo ego activate. Yeah, we've got a couple questions. I didn't write them down. In order. These are all from the discords.
Like I said, if you guys aren't in our Discord you really should be because that's where all the fun stuff happens and behind the scenes, things and Jazz stuff. So there were a lot of questions so we weren't able to get all of them. And we did have to reword a few of them to kind of fit in the show a little bit better. Hopefully, this all works out and most people get their questions answered. If not sorry we're pressed for time already. Should I start? Yeah you start.
Okay the name. Now 8 for 13. Where did that come from? How did that start? Interesting? Okay, so I mentioned a gray hairs in my beard earlier. I'm 37 years old and I've been a gamer for a long time ever since I was a like, well, I mean I've been a gamer but a PC Gamer specifically ever since I was like a young teenager around 13. Hmm. And I was playing online games on my 56k modem okay, not AOL, AOL or aim okay. Um but oh my 56k modem at home.
And I needed it. I like you got to come up with a name when you start playing games, right? Like you have to call yourself something so everybody goes through that process of figuring. What what is that going to be? So at that time like my favorite cartoon was Transformers, okay? And I originally for like the first year, I use the name Ironhide which was my favorite Transformer at that time and I changed it to prowl which is the cop car Transformers in the original cartoon.
So, I've been using this this tag for over 20 years now, so if your old Be like me you've been gaming for 20 years? You remember a prowl? It's probably me. Okay. And then, of course, nothing is unique nowadays and you have to have like something after your name or before your name to be able to get a user name anywhere. So 84 is just the year that I was born and then 13 is a year that my daughter was born. We have the same birthday, we were born on March 21st of those
years, who another 21st. So we have this saying in my family were a good half of us were all born on the 21st day of the month. So Like I'm December 21st. Awesome. It's a cool Club to be a part of, I guess. Yeah. 21 is a lucky number for us and I'm the same way with you. I've had dud since high school. Yeah, so that's closing in 20 years now to my son's turned 6. April 21st, say 21st Club, the 21 Club. Maybe we should like, start something here. I'm the 23rd.
Mmm, so can't you just barely missed the kite? You don't get a t-shirt Jimbo. Oh, man. The 23rd t-shirt. Sorry. That's not a thing. Yeah, nothing only 21. Yeah, you know, you don't hear 23 clubs, who wants to join me 23. Nope. All right, proud, what inspired you to make videos? So my inspiration to make videos came not long.
After Bedrock Edition came out, I was playing trying to learn to technical game and like anybody that ever come up playing Bedrock especially when it first came out you would know that when you went to look for videos on how to do things on, Tube, you would try to do this thing and it wouldn't work because it was a Java video and you just didn't have the understanding that they were different until you've like messed up numerous Farms. Mmm. So I would prowl pepper. I'll get it.
I don't even mean that mean. Yes, I did mean that button, I would prowl the message boards and as I was learning how to do things, I wanted to also help other people know that we're on the, like, The Unofficial Minecraft message, boards of how to do these different things and the game, like make farms and that sort of thing, right? So I would try to People there and I was very active on those message boards back then.
And then eventually I came up with a design which nobody had at the time of a mob farm for Bedrock addition. That worked in the daytime and the nighttime I don't want to get like too into the weeds here because I can get way into the weeds but spawning works a lot different on Bedrock addition. Yeah and mobs are split between a certain number of mobs that can that can spawn on the surface and a certain number of mobs that can spawn under the surface or under a solid block.
At that time it wasn't possible or nobody knew how to get that to work and nobody really knew spawning mechanics that will and I got inspired by a previous guest of yours Groove. A guy who kind of figured all those out for. I think the first time out of anybody, and I took what he had learned and applied it and made a mob farm that you could make multiple levels of and actually get a good amount of drops.
So like I was dying to share this, like I was like, oh my God, how can I show this to everybody in the world? Because Nobody has this video on YouTube. It doesn't exist. Nobody's made a mob farm for Bedrock before, but everybody keeps trying to make these Java mob farms and failing. So, that's when I decided like, you know what? Like, I'm going to make a YouTube channel, and I'm going to make this video and that's the first video. This one my channel.
If you go all the way back as a mob farm that you know, nowadays doesn't really look that great compared to what's out there now. But yeah, that was my inspiration. I just wanted to help people play Bedrock better and learn how to do things not get stuck on Java videos and that's still my motivation today. Is trying to get bedrock to a better place and put more videos out there. So bed rockers, find Bedrock videos and don't get stuck on Java videos that don't work for
them. Way better than me. I started out on bedrock and then I went looking for how to do stuff and then I saw the job of videos and I went. Well I'm just going to first job. Yeah. It's kind of what I did. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to prevent. I want people to play Bedrock. Yeah, well most of most of our Discord members. Bedrock. Yeah, I think it's a large like five to one or something like that. Like Bedrock to Java players. It might even be larger than
that now. So even like most Java content creators like most of their viewers. Our Bedrock players, not Java players. So yep. I just think it's nice to, you know, let somebody watch the version of the game that they play. So things that they see will work the way that they are seeing it, and hopefully at some point, you know, one of my big goals is to try. Try to help achieve as much parity as possible between the two versions. That way, people don't have that. If you like to watch
hermitcraft, then that's cool. You can watch hermitcraft and that thing that you saw Mumbo doing hermitcraft works the same way that it works for Bedrock Edition or maybe vice versa you know, Bedrock player. The yeah. So hopefully we achieve that one day. Yeah. Yeah. Jimbo next question. People want to know if you are a PVP player, Redstone player, a builder. What is your favorite aspect of the game?
And I I think generally speaking, I'm a kind of jack-of-all-trades kind of person but like professional none but if I really had to choose like one, it kind of has like a separate Niche from all of those.
I'm a big mechanics player. I like to like learn like how the mechanics of the game work and how can I bend owes to be more efficient or work better and then in doing that you know obviously you're going to have to mix in some Redstone to get that efficiency or whatever the case may be. So I'm decent with redstone. I definitely would not Call myself a professional but you know, I can get devices working. I can compact things to an extent.
Yeah, I can problem solve and fumble my way through. I'm not a builder at all, but that's one of the things that I've challenged myself to doing so. Yeah, in the Guide Series, for example, that I'm doing now, I'm not just building farms, and well, there you go. I'm just gonna leave it like that, right? I'm trying to like, decorate them in some way, make them look
good. In some way, I'm doing a little bit less of that right now because like, if it's not at my main base, I'm trying to make the most progress before we do end up doing a world reset. I'm not decorating it because I don't want to take an extra like three days of gameplay time away from something. I could be spending at my main base, right? But for those that go back and look through my series like look at my skeleton Farm.
Look at my like the interior of my mob farm area, or just like other areas that did earlier in the season or anything that goes in my main base. Like, it's gonna, I'm I'm trying to exercise those skills that I don't have. And hopefully, I'll develop more of Em. I think I say, I watched your iron farm that also doubles as a villager trading home. Yes. That would turn out good. Yeah. The roof shape you add to a god. That's a very interesting shape.
I wouldn't have thought about. Yeah, it was. If I don't say this hill, like, punch me in the face, probably. But that the idea of that shape came from a buddy of mine killer drone, who have I played with one truly Bedrock for a little while and I'm still great friends with we talked quite a bit and I was like, I'm terrible roofs. I'm really bad at them. They are the worst thing in the
world. So I was like, I was struggling and I showed him the size of my farm and then he gave me like he showed me a picture of this cool shape. So I took that and ran with it and kind of fit it to work to the scale and I was working in a little bit better and it turned out really good. I am super happy with it. So if you ever catch me in a stream, you'll see like half the chat + blue, jay or killer drone if he jumps in there like take full credit for my roof. I'll give him.
I'll give him half credit for it. I have to have to mention him when the roof comes up. Yeah. I say you did actually have to put it in place so, you know. Yeah, he showed me a screenshot and and like a method of doing it and I had to modify like, you know well how many blocks do I go this way? Before I go a block this way and like yeah, kind of get it to fit the way I wanted it to fit but definitely some credit to killer drone on that one. Roof lines are so hard.
They're the bane of my existence I hate them so much. Yeah I talk about. I went to architecture school and even then I'm still just like wait how did? Wait how did he make that roof? That doesn't make sense. So many different designs for roofs. Oh yeah. I try to catch like some of the better Builders out there. You like you'll watch a mythical sausage or green or somebody like that. Just kind of see. Hmm. Or like pearlescent Moon and you see the shapes of the come up
with for Rousseau you like that? I wish I could just do that on a whim. Like, it seems like they do and I don't know, maybe they struggle with it behind the scenes and again, like, I think we mentioned this in the pre-show earlier in the show, but like, you know, you cut so many things out or read shoot so many things like as you go through. But when I watch their videos, they make it look confident enough to wear. Like they just come up with it and it just works the first try.
Yeah. And I wish I could do that. Yeah, same here. Love watching Pearl. And she's just, she's exactly that. She goes. Oh, yeah. And I built this structure over here in my jaw, just hits. The floor is like what you just built that structure of it. Like how does that happen? There's a lot of places to pull inspiration from that's for sure. Yeah. Alright. So next question, what do you think is the future of Bedrock Edition and what would you change there was anything I
could? If you want to know my like full thoughts on, it's just follow me on Twitter because I'm like ranting there all the time. Yeah, but really to me that maybe I'm being naive here but I do feel like it's some point you'll have one game for everybody type solution. Mmm, so we're everything does mold together. I don't think we're close to that point and if anything keeps us from that point, I'll probably be Microsoft saying no we're not letting anybody modify this game.
Correct. I think so too. But I think that's where a Everybody would like to go or at the very, very least that everything between Java addition in mind and Bedrock Edition works almost identical or at least like to the same scale. Like if I were to give an example that simple for most people to understand would be Iron Farms. So, Pike, iron Farms on Java.
Addition, like, you guys used to have the way where, you know, you had so many doors and so many villagers in an iron golem would spawn in the center, right? And then it changed to you guys have to scare mechanics. Now what you're really Cool or Bedrock Edition Works off of the beds and you have the central spawning points beds, basically replace what doors used to be why do those those things shouldn't be different than each other.
You know what I mean? Because now when I don't know my kids, when they, if they watch a video on how to make an iron farm and then they see Tango Tech design or something like that or Waddles or somebody that's made. Like one with the new scare mechanics, they're going to think that they can do that and then they can't because it doesn't work that way. Yeah. Whereas let's let's get all of those things to be the same.
Same and if it can't work exactly the same the sense behind the mechanic should be similar. So correct. Maybe it's, you know, you have to like the distances aren't exactly the same but it's still scary mechanics or whatever. The case may be, we need to get to that point where people don't try to build stuff, spend hours doing it, and then up, well I didn't know, there is a different version of Minecraft, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah. I was literally talking to Jimbo about this one right in the show up, because obviously I've seen your iron farm episode in your trading Hall and that was like a huge Like wait why doesn't their iron Farms work like our iron Farms because and this space, it took you to build your one iron farm. Jimbo has used for cell iron farm so he's got four iron Farms on top of each other and it's just like I thought these games were supposed to be as close to
possible. Why is that one mechanic so different still? Yeah. And it's not as not just that one mechanic. There's there's infinite number of things that I couldn't do justice. If I tried to like list them all but there's a lot of things that are like Or simple things that you would think would be like we mentioned earlier.
Like lava can push mobs on Java Edition but lava can't push mobs on Bedrock Edition. Yeah you can go from small stuff like that two big things like spawning mechanics or iron golems and like all these different things and I know they're working on them, you know? But I don't I just I wish that the, the, like really higher-ups would say, you know, hey, let's can we just bring it a few more people to like, start just working? These things we can get more, parity quicker to the players.
It would be really nice when I put out there, my favorite update was 115 and that was just the bees and bugs update because of how many bugs they fixed. So it's almost like, hey, we just need another one of those updates, but strictly for parity. And and ironic thing is that update the, or the, I guess is 1.14, was Village and pillage.
Mmm was the one before that. Like that one broke like a whole Ooh, bunch of stuff for us. Like I got I got frustrated to the point where I wouldn't even make anything with like villager base mechanics anymore and they're a little bit better now. But like even villager mechanics between bedrock and Java or like immensely different from each other and are still very broken. Yeah I saw you have to put your villagers in a puddle of water to get them to actually stay focused.
Yeah it's because otherwise well, they did fix that recently, although I've hurt instances where people say it's not fixed so you know, I'm just playing it safe and putting them in the water. But Yeah. Why risk it? Yeah they would they would unlink from the beds or like here's another one, is if you have some villager base technology whether it be an iron farm or breeder or mob farm or not, my farm, a crop Farm or whatever like bills, you're powered stuff.
You you can't really build or do anything with profession blocks within like, 60 something blocks of that. Otherwise, it'll, it can make the villagers like get confused about 0 which, which profession block, do I want to be and like everything just stops working. So dang there's definitely a lot that hinders what players can do with some of these bugs that hopefully, they'll they'll end up tackling here at some point. Yeah. All right, we're getting a
little low on time. Let's do one more question. Each Jimbo and then we'll have to move on to the post show. There is one question on here. I got to throw out there but we'll save that for the end, okay? Because a couple people were asking about it, but I'm, we talked about this a little bit earlier with the new 1.17 coming out. Are you going to be building in the mountains or the caves my plan? I don't think I told anybody this, yet my big bass plans and
I won't go too deep inks. It's fun there for there to be a little bit mystery, but I think I plan on building in the caves. I would love to find it. Just a really big like expansive open cave to build some type of themed base in, and I got a couple of ideas for themes to do, but to me, it just, it just makes sense. That's what people are going to want to see. And that's It's kind of what I want to like mess around with its the play around in the cave.
So I think that's where I'll be. Yeah. Welcome to the life of a mole rat. You're going to need clocks everywhere. Yeah I'll put up clock every like 10 blocks just so I know what time it is. I guess. Yeah. The caves are definitely in my opinion. Lot more interesting than the mountains as of right now. I mean, we kind of have mountains now but the depth of these caves can there's so many variety of builds to be done down.
There it is. But don't Count the mountains now because I know you guys have seen screen shots at them, but I don't know that either of you jumped into the Beta and actually seen one like in game. The experience is crazy. Like when you start walking up, one of these and you can see it from again. Remember Bedrock render distance is really far like 50/50 chunks away.
Hmm. And like, you just see this big, big mountain start to render in and as you get closer to it it's very it's very daunting and very impressive like the way that they look there they are awesome for sure. Yeah, I think Definitely, if I could one, get an RT X card for sure. Because between the render distance and that new fancy Graphics Pack. I don't even know if they're calling it that anymore. But yeah, the incredible photo realistic mode.
Like you saying the render distance you can get around with on Bedrock, it's so insane. I think I would have to try a Bedrock series just for those things. And now if you play, if you play an art, X-mode with Artie. Excellent. It does I think the render distance at least for now is limited to like 24:26 chunks which is still pretty far away's playing with 13 right now.
So yeah I mean to us for us playing Bedrock that's not a long ways to be able to view but on I guess with Java it is but yeah, when they implemented r-tx, they also like they gave us a new graphics engine to work off of as well called render
dragon. And it's not I don't think it's like fully Like feature filled implemented yet because when they pulled in render Dragon, they pretty much axed all shaders, like, none of the shaders that we had before work one render Dragon. So, like we're stuck without like being able to see chunk borders and able to like have have packs that allow us to see the light level of like a particular block and like all these different things so we're
held back a little bit but my point on this one is that once they get to the point where they allow third-party shaders to be made for, Ender Dragon. I think you'll see a lot of the features r-tx brings be possible outside of the actual rate racing portion but like the colored lighting and hmm, like all these other things hopefully we'll be able to do those things even if you don't play with r-tx on right and you'll only miss out on the actual ray-tracing portion itself at that point.
Yeah. All right, we're Jimbo. I'm gonna let you go ahead and ask the last question because I know you've been wanting to ask this one for a while. Well, it seems Seems like there's a thing between mending and Infinity on your bow. And I just want to know your thoughts on it because couple people asked about it. Yeah. Um, wow. So mending is by far, the superior enchantment to go on a bow. Yeah, there's no contest to
this. So, but I have a lot of people in my community for whatever reason. They are poor lost souls and they think Infinities better. So. So here's the deal. Okay. And this goes to all U Infinity. Users out there to hopefully set you guys straight. When you carry an arrow on you, it takes up a slot in your inventory. When you carry 64 arrows on you, it takes up a slot in your inventory. I have to refill a Narrows maybe once a week. Okay, so unless I get it U Infinity users out there.
Maybe your aim is not that great and you just, you go through arrows like crazy and that's fine. I can see why use Infinity when you have to like, shoot 10 times, just hit something. But for those of us that are, you know, Little bit more skilled with our aim, at with the bow mending, works just fine and your bow never breaks. You never have to make a new one. You have it forever for. All you bow lovers out there? Bending is the way to go that's solid argument.
And that's an argument. I wouldn't argue especially with spectral arrows, being so easy to grab now which don't exist on Bedrock Edition by the ways. We don't have Spectra arrows. Yeah, we don't have them. I didn't know that. Oh man. But we get in shape, we can get we can get tipped arrows, lot easier and you. It's because we could throw 3 potions into a cauldron and we got a whole stack of tipped arrows, right there. Cold ruins are way better. Yeah!
Cauldrons, look, we get it. They're like armor stands. The defeat Java in every way every aspect. They're pretty awesome. So so yes, mending is the way to go anybody that says otherwise is I'm sorry, you're just wrong as I kind of agree with you, but as someone who's using Infinity bow this season, I will put up a little defense for it. And the fact that Jimbo how many months are we in now? Six months? It's seven months, the season little more than that, but little more than that, I have
yet to break my bow. I lose mine before I break it to ya, but I always go Infinity. I just, I hate refilling up on arrows. Yeah, I don't mind, I don't. And, and if I were to repair it, I could just grab a half, beaten up bow, foremost skeleton spawner combined it, and back to normal, you know, don't really need mending. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It's just, it's It's a waste of time effort and levels when like how many different ways we have
to get arrows. Now, you have bartering, you have raid Farms, you have skeleton Farms, you have mob Farms like you have a billion arrows as it is. So I just have a narrow chest at my base and I'm back and forth my base quite a bit to, you know, get supplies and whatever. Right. So oh hey I noticed that I've dropped below a Half Stack arrows after a couple days not just go ahead and just hit the pit there. Oh Chester like Quicken topper off and I'm gonna Good to go for
another like several days. I made a deal with Carl to get an entire show, core box full of spectral arrows and I go when this Infinity bow breaks I'm going to switch to a mending bow so I can use the heck out of these cool, spectral arrows and my bone. Still hasn't broken. That's cool. The easiest way to break them ending, boat a Infinity bow. Just, just throw it into lava. That's where it belongs. That's good. Yeah. All right. I think that's going to do it for today's show.
