Hey guys, welcome to the weathering effect. This is episode 24 today's date is December 2nd, 2019, and I am Duds or Duds versus to the rest of the interweb today. We have a guest Carl. How are you? What have you been up to hide us? I'm good. Thank you very much this week in Minecraft. I've been working on the stock control system for my new wood vending machine.Dry sort of stole your business, but you kind of gave it away. Yeah, I didn't want to chop wood anymore. Well, I built a tree frog yeah, I was gonna do that too, but restaurant frustrating me, so it was like the the tree farm was the biggest Redstone think I've ever bail and it took me far too long to build G. It was going to be the exact same with me and I was like not doing it that do it a bit on a real Redstone thing the It like I did the the vending machine and then I built the wood farm for the vending machine. And now I just spent like two days building a stock control system for it. So I've been on like a real Redstone high at the moment. It's been a bit weird because it's usually not my thing. But yeah, you know you go through these Cycles, don't you? Yeah. I mean, I've basically been doing the same thing with the clock tower except that clock tower is as ingenious as I felt some parts of the Redstone. It frustrated me to my wits in that daylight sensors do not tell time anymore. Yeah, if you think it would you think it'd just be light, right? This signal strength is like midnight this signal strengths midday and so on and so forth. You'd think that would be how it was but I saw you doing it on stream and it's just like it's swear timings that That Forgives out especially at night. Yeah, and I'm sure if I were to I think I have it figured out my head. We're like between the second and third I call it modules. If I do the second third module and I extend it out two to three more blocks and then between the third and the fourth module I extend it out five more blocks. I think it would be correct, but I'll give you the time that you need right right. So give it's a right signal strength, right, but I didn't have the room in the mountain to do that. That would poke my Redstone through the side of the mountain. And to me it's like at this point. It's like okay, we're going if that's how you're going to do the daylight sensors in the nighttime sensors. I'm okay with that. That's fine. But you need to let me be able to put a clock on a block in a comparator behind it. To read off the correct time. Yeah, that would make so much sense to put down light like because I am frames can go on on the ground now as well not just on walls. So you put a clock in there comparator on the Block next to it and take a signal strap that makes so much sense. Well, and I thought about it. You can't do it tonight or frame though because the item frame obviously has its own Red Sox and Signal when you spin it, but if you just have the clock work like an item frame, it shouldn't be a problem. Yeah, well, you could just stick it anywhere by itself. Yeah, if an item frame can go there then a clock should be able to go there. That's very true. That be not been awesome feature. Let's let's get Mojang on that guy's exactly where's my red dragon? I need omni's Bane of Arthropods enchantment. I've watched his video on that finally caught up to that and now I need clocks to work like clocks that red dragon was very early this effect. I gotta make sure I don't forget it. I've been very close a couple of these episodes and forgetting the red dragon, you know what to do that, you know to do that the off the episode was really good though. I like some of the ideas that you had in that for Bane of Arthropods. I didn't turn in the show cause and that Yeah, I mean it makes so much sense that Shockers would be considered arthropods. Yeah, I'll leave a link to that in the show notes as well. So you guys can go watch albany's video because it's a really good one and it's kind of inspired by the podcast anyway, so we'll pop that in there. Yeah. I wonder where the next episode will inspire of need to do. Hey Arnie you want to make clocks work like clocks. I would really like that now be a good idea. But wait, why is it is it tucks or madcatz that does all of our data packs and my talk. I think I know winter is just a couple to insist on a couple mods cast on a few as well. I'm gonna have to hit him up. Hey, can you make clocks clocks? Can you make them work like that actually clock? Yeah instead of movable pictures. I mean, it's basically a gif in an item frame literally is exactly And it's gift and not GIF. Come at me. If you want to argue about that. Oh God the GIF gift of it. Yeah, I shouldn't I should have kept my mouth shut. Yeah, other than these going to set the agenda on fire. She's exactly other than the clock tower. I've been working on a scripted Minecraft episode, which may be really cool. Yeah Ringling a wrangling in some help from certain people. I'm trying to keep it quiet. I told Carl before the podcast. I'm going to keep the topic of it quiet for now, but it revolves around the 2.5 Ripple effects. He's in and it's a lot of green screen work, which I've never done. And I'm scared and nervous at the same time. Basically after this weekend. I'll know if I can do it or not do it. So if you guys never see this episode that means this weekend did not go well and we're not going to do that episode. It did not go. Well guys, the testing did not go. Well. Hmm, and I mean, other than that, I've been doing a lot of work on my car. So basically since I got it at 16 Is an hour I get this like plastic flapping sound on the passenger side. Whoo. Yeah, as I'm good, but at 65 miles an hour the sound goes away. So what do I do to not hear the sound anymore? I just go fast everywhere. Yeah, just drive it 65 everywhere. I mean it held a solution. It helps that most of the time I drive on the interstate. Anyways, like I literally I drive two miles to get onto the interstate and then I take the interstate for 20 minutes to work and then my work is literally a mile off the interstate. So yeah basically have to hear it for a little bit exactly but basically every weekend I spend at least And now we're at my parents house or whatever taking plastic panels off and looking for this stupid flapping sound and every time I'm like, I've got it figured out I got it figured out and then I go drive it home and do and I'm like, oh my God, I'm gonna kill something it's off again. Exactly. And then this weekend, I mean I would to do this. I have to Jack the car up crawl underneath there and I'm a big dude crawling up underneath the tiny Mustangs not So I crawl underneath there. And at first it was just looking for loose plastic and tightening it out. Then it was ripping the plastic down looking around and putting the plastic back. And after this weekend I said enough of this. I'm going to check the engine compartment see if there's anything in there because that's the one spot haven't checked yet and I'll be darned if I didn't raise the hood look over to the battery and it's got this plastic cover that wasn't tightened down. I wanted what the heck it's always the last place. You look always right. Well, yeah once I find it I'm not looking anymore. That's true. Yeah for design these stupid plastic clips and the hole that the clips go through to hold it in. They have the same diameter as the clip. So it takes like nothing to have that plastic slip over the cliff and just flap around like something stupid. So yeah being the great engineer I am I drilled holes and guys zip-ties zip-tied that panel closed and I that's never covered up again. Yes, if my battery dies. I'm kind of screwed. I'm going to have to cut off them sometimes but hopefully the listed to that noise. That was first exactly. Well. I say this I did it up driving to Advanced Auto after work and buy a bunch of Clips to replace a zip tie. Wait, I just haven't done it yet. I wanted to make sure that was where the sound was coming from. And so far for two days. I've not had a plastic flapping sound when I drive around nice. So I'm like I have fixed that stupid feels good. I've had this car seems like June and it's been bugging me that I can't find it. It's Jude. Yeah, it's been doing it. Yeah. Not much December. It's like right out of there at this point. My hair's falling out. I can't take it. Yeah. So those are my rants for the week guys, if you've managed to stick with the episode, we're going to talk about some Minecraft now we do it after but we do have some updates. Well, I shouldn't say update their pre-releases. So they're mainly bug fixes for the most part. They're arguing pre-release three. I didn't even see prerelease to yeah, I think pre-release free. I want to say came out within a few days of pre-release to I want to say they were really close together and because it's coming out on the 10th 115 is supposed to drop on the temp that I think they're just trying to get them out as fast as they can just to iron out any last minute issues. Yeah mixer. I mean I'm seeing stuff like tweet chunk loading render performance further. That's fine. I'm good with that. From what I'm seeing from snapshots. I am super excited for that because that's been my biggest gripe is flying is a scary thing to do on Minecraft definitely especially on a server. Like if you have like even a couple of people on just trying to get off the ground is bad enough. Never mind it actually loading the chunks as well. So that seems to be improved. Then there was a saint Exuma video. He let off a load of TNT and it was actually not Frame City for a change where it's like PowerPoint presentation. Yeah, it was actually like proper smooth. It was really nice. Let's see. This is the best part because now you're not going to realize you're crashing the server until it crashes the server. We're good at crush. It is server. Anyway, it's five. Yeah. Let's see met text colors on sign match how they looked at previous versions. I didn't know it changed. Yeah, I think when they updated the lighting engine as part of the rendering performance, it got like really bright on the signs that make sense. Yeah. So I think they've just dialed that down to what it was previously. I'm sure if you perfect white text on like dark oak signed it stands out like a night light. Yeah made sure foxes are Players what? I don't know what that's about but I assume the game fought foxes were place. Yes you oh I bet it was loading chunks that Fox's room thinking it was a bear walking around probably be yeah that makes a lot of sense and then it says fixed bugs. So there was books. Yeah, there was a load of bugs now, they're fixed baby ocelots. Don't spawn naturally as snow can be placed on top of Of fully grown wheat that was weird. Sounds awesome. You could put Snow on top of fully grown wheat, I went stuff like wheat to grow through Snow Yeah, like if it's a single snow layer, if you do choose snow layers, it shouldn't work. But if you do a single snow layer, I want grass to be able to go through it and flowers and stuff like that. That would be cool. That'd be cool. Yeah, there was just loads of glitches. There's nothing too much on there. But again the link to the blog post is in the show notes. So you guys can peruse all of those bug fixes at your leisure. Yeah, and basically Carl wrote up this entire episode. So he has all the correct links. I'm sure me and bankers and him just weird stuff. I've just like that go this doesn't exist. This is a link to Canada's Government website. What am I supposed to do with the head? What are you doing? Hey, what are you some Tim Hortons? I know Canadians. Actually, I think they're like against Tim Hortons now or something. I don't know. Anyways, they got the combat snapshot into 115 out to it's not going to be released with 115, but they want to make sure the stuff they're fixing and combat works and 115 correctly, right? Yeah, they basically rolled they pre-release into the combat help. Dates and make it one so they can test all of the combat changes within you know how 115 is going to come out to us? Because I think they were testing it and 114 before. Yeah, and obviously things have changed with like rendering engines and any of the bug fixes that they've done as well. They just want to make sure that it's compatible basically and that it all works as it should do. Yeah so far. I'm good with everything the one combat update. I saw that I got really excited for was Arrow accuracy has been increased. Decreasing the uncertainty value for a guy like me who uses a controller on PC. I would constantly complain that you can hold the cursor in the same spot and fire multiple arrows and they'll never land in the same spot because now it was sort of random wasn't it? Yeah, that said - yeah, that's that uncertainty thing and I can't be as accurate as someone with a mouse. So PVP from you is just basically off-limits, but now that that uncertainty value has Has been decreased. It's like okay now I'm maybe I could compete a little bit better and play this Capture the Flag game. Carl's got going for us. I'll lovely capture the flag with crossbows and fireworks that we're going to be doing hopefully soon as part of maybe a livestream maybe just a special episodes, but we'll see what we can do with that. But it's a really good game and I can't wait to play it same here. I really want to play and but yeah, I think the accuracy because the Introducing the target Block in 160 in as well. So yeah kind of a kind of goes into that. They want it to be more accurate so you can actually make proper mini games out of that block and that as well because it gives a different signal strength based on where you hit the target block. Yeah to see how accurate you are and obviously if the game's not being accurate itself, then the player can't be accurate either. So if in that sort of bringing that into line with With with the target block as well. Yeah, the other thing critical jumps will not trigger a hundred percent of the time. I'm good with that. That's awesome. So basically every time you jump and attack there is no cooldown it all go straight into it. That's good. Yeah the shield whenever you crouch I guess it would Otto pull the shield forward. Yeah, I saw her Exuma talking about this. I didn't know it did that. I mean it makes sense for it to do that. But I yeah, yeah, I like that change. Yeah. trident okay, you guys are working on the tried it make them an effective weapon just not open only on sea animals. Yeah, it's I've got to tridents and I never use them exactly. I would love to use a trident more I would as well like it's just that they added end. It was cool at first roll are tridents pretty cool. Yeah got all got one of got two of them even and with the different enchantments on and that it's just like they just sit in my under chest in my toolbox. Shoka box. Yeah, just sit there. Well, I mean I had been contemplating for a while now and I'm pretty sure I've said this in streams and episode just playing with more minimal armor. Mmm. So like leather boots and like a leather helmet only and maybe a light shower Wings. Obviously. Those are basically needed. Yeah, maybe to increase the difficulty even more no swords or bows just to try to just try to imagine a zombie. About 20 minutes basically like pleased with the thunderstorm happened now so I can kill the zombie Robert just tickle it with it. I mean that's another thing. I mean you could probably make a day to pack but sharpness five on a trident, right? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. It's just changing the the table and said yeah only weapon I love tridents the way they look I think it's a cool thing but they're so weak the Blah, it's almost kind of like the cross but I think the cross was a very cool weapon, but it takes so long to reload. So yeah, I think that's in the crossfire. The only thing it's really got going for it is the fact that you can use fireworks and yeah overwise the bow is better when you do using arrows. So yeah. Yeah, I think a crossbow should be more of a One-Shot kill. Like what is it piercing? You can put on a crossbow. I think if you've got the Uh Max piercing. I mean it might be I don't use the crossbow. So maybe that'll be some of the stuff I play with when I go to the 2.5 season. Yeah play with tridents and crossbows. I think in the Capture the Flag game I did some testing and I think I only tested impaling one and it was like 4 shot kill which is which is what I wanted for the the PVP game. Yeah, and I didn't I didn't really test any more than that because that's kind of what I wanted, but I would assume it like it probably doesn't take it down to one shot kill. It probably takes two maybe three. Bye. Too sure. But yeah, if it was impaling 3, you know, you know on that kind of weapon where you have to draw it back and everything, you'd think it'd be one shot kill on that because you can't put quick charge and impaling. I don't think on them. No, you can't because I have to put two I have to put two separate crossbows in the in the game. So you can either choose between impaling and get in a faster kill or quick quick charge for loading it faster. And basically when you do the Capture the Flag game, you have to choose which one you want any one time so it's like a strategy kind of thing. And so if you could put those two things together, maybe that would improve it as well. I think this is going to have I might have to do some Minecraft science here and see if the maximum paneling does one shot kill because if you can that makes up for the fact that you can't put the quick charge on. Yeah, that would make it, you know viable. They carry around with you if it can do the One-Shot kill then you know what I take away all complaints fix the tried it it's just like just tridents now guys, it's just just Trident. So in my red dragon and we don't need Bane of Arthropods get that out of here whoring prove it. Yeah or improve water. That's a snowball's now stack to 64. That's good, which I don't know why it's taking that long to do. Then again, I don't think I could hold 64 snowballs period so it's true. They've got a 4 tick cool down so you can throw them faster. I really like that. They've also now made it so they don't render the first two ticks. So when you throw the snowball the first half a second of it being thrown doesn't take up your entire screen. Yeah, that was really weird that it did that because it was like it was coming from your mouth as something. Yeah, do I throw snowballs for my mouth though? I've heard from my arm. So why would it come here know how you guys do that? There are four my tongue Frank from by ear or my eyes my eyes just froze. It just sounds like a frozen wet willy. All damage and chance can be applied to axes good good. I'm excited about that. And then in the 116 news we got red nether Vines. I saw the tweet on that so cool. Yeah. It's a tweet from Jasper and it looks so cool. I wonder if they stay red when you take them out the never I assume that they are a new item rather than just a texture that's applied to Mine's in the never I assume it's like a new you know, you're gonna have to you're gonna have like green Vines and red vines that you can get now. I was thinking the exact same thing because you can see Red Vines and like real life and I don't mean like the candy because we have Red Vines as candy here in America. But yeah, there are Red Vines out there and stuff. So I really want more colors, but I also need to know can I only Put the Red Vines on nether brick items. Let me place it on whatever happened to I mean the Tweet is just like, you know, he's working on new biomes in 116. So there's not much information to it. But if we kind of dig into it hopefully like you can like user A what? You may call it the Harvest cheers. Yeah, that's the word I'm looking for. So you could use shares to harvest them take them back to the old world and put them on on the side of your lovely Castle. I would love that especially where I have that explosion were a portals at ready eyes would look really good there so many great uses for that, which I'm going to assume that we can do that. Imagine if you can combine Red Vines and Cobblestone. It's an eye you have to read cobblestones of the greenish Cobblestone read mossy. Cobblestone. Uh-huh. That's so cool. It would look so Sinister in some bills. That would be awesome. Wow, you got do that Bojack come up. Yeah, you listen to the show or why you think about it? Like magma blocks have the same kind of Kabul texture. Yeah. I imagine combining those together. The vines in the magma block you can ma see magma Buffy back. Then it would look cool. It was it makes no sense, but it would look cool. A Minecraft doesn't make sense with a lot of ways. It's like sex. This place is made of blocks. Why is everything Square except for the clock that I can't put on the wall? Yeah this clock which is circular. Yeah, but you can't put it on the wall. Well, I guess snowballs. I mean, they're not even really snowballs. They're just white circles diamonds and and apelles kind of ruins the argument. Yeah. All right, we get it. But okay, so instead of the normal listening to one of us read the ad today. We actually have somebody there ourselves saying why you should join the Discord. So we're just gonna let them talk for themselves. Hey everyone. I'm ytyt and I'm a member of the weather affect Discord. It's a great place to hang out with fellow the sisters like me and the people who work on the show strong today and let's discuss game. We love there are links in the show notes. Alright, I hope you guys enjoyed that add. Let us know if you want to record one of those we have some stuff to do with that and well Carl's got all that figured out for me. I need to I need to make some more scripts. Yeah. Yeah go to the Discord link is in the show notes, and there's a post there from me asking people to read our disco dad like that post. I'll get in contact with you with a script very shortly and we'll get you guys on the show just Why do you itdid this week? It was awesome and that interlude music was made by the one and only our music maestro decoy. You did an awesome job on those interlude. So thank you D car. Yeah, I love it because we're just like hey Duke, we had this random idea. That might be fun. Can you make some music for it? And he's like, yeah sure in the next day. Here's some music and then the day after it's light has some. Oh, yeah. Here's another one. So that first pass I wasn't happy with it. Here's another one. Oh man. This is awesome, too. The next day no, we're going to go with this one. Here's another one. I used two of them in that as well. What at the start and one at the end and they work so perfectly together. It's unbelievable. So good job decoy. Yeah. I really liked it when I listen to it. It sounds perfect. But our topic this time is all Carl cause I was absolutely useless this week, you know Thanksgiving and stuff. So I had food coma brain going you're like that good. I have a showed too much. I can't do this. I can't but we're topics I gonna stand on the scale when I just cry good at that guy. Noooooo. I did I eat so much exactly. We don't have Thanksgiving in the UK, so That is your fault that's awful of it up. I would like to eat more food. But you know, it's not socially acceptable clearly, it's fine anyways, so we're getting into the festive Spirit early. Well, I shouldn't say early because it's after Thanksgiving. So people who say you can't celebrate Christmas to after Thanksgiving Canal stick it yeah. It's like that box is Tech to guys thanksgivings text. So we're going to hit it with some ideas to get into the Spirit on what you can do on your Minecraft server. Yeah, we kind of felt the because you know, it's the start of December and if you guys want to set up Christmas areas or get yourselves all together on your server that this is the best time to do it. We're coming up to the holidays and it takes as me and Duds know it takes quite a while to put together a Christmas area like we did last year on the Ripple effects, and hopefully we'll be doing again this year and we've got guys That grind and it still takes a while. Yeah, literally I'd log in each day to the Christmas area and there was another free built literally I'd been off the server while I was asleep for like eight hours and I'll come back and like there's this Santa Sledge and there's this snow globe and everything's whole all gone from being grass to be in snow all within the space of eight hours. It was it was pretty mad. Yeah. I me build a mini game. Puts you on the naughty list just because you just want to curse the entire time. Yeah, so what do we want to get on our first topic? So Christmas is a good time to get together with people on your server. And so the first thing you want to do is build yourself a Christmas Village. Yeah, I think is the best place to start with and you need to pick a nice area for that going. So you've got a few options you got snow eat egg ra Tundra tundra. Yeah, I even read that out earlier. So I would get it wrong. But you know, it's words are hard words are difficult. You've got things like I spikes areas, or you can do what we can of did last year which is put our Christmas area next to a nice bikes biome and kind of turn all the grass into snow using that cool little snow golem trick that you guys use. Yeah. I want to say like, that's the very first thing I've always been Whenever I was like Christmas Village time, and it's build the snow golem snow machine. Because you really need that. Um, I'm trying to think is there an easy way to explain it because you kind of have to have the Golem sit kind of awkwardly with Minecart Hoppers. I'm sure there's tutorials and stuff out there. Yeah, this probably someone that I can't remember how you guys did it. But it kind of sits on I say on the on the on the hopper Minecarts kind of like two of them under each one of them. There's Locks pushed into Hopper Minecarts. Okay, and then I want to say there's glass panes behind their heads. So they kind of sit on multiple blocks at the same time. So that way you can get even more snow and just a single block at a time because you know efficiency efficiency. It was really cool. I'd until you guys built that last year. I didn't even know that was a think you could do. I didn't notice a thing. Kind of craft we had a player named NAB ski, and he immediately threw one of those things up and I was like, oh this is genius so cool. You just hit it with a shovel and you just get snow for days. Of course. I didn't realize like snow golems are so useful for like dragon and fights also. All right, have you seen winner makeup? So if you make like, I don't know 30 snow golems in the end Island when you're fighting the dragon. Basically, they're just constantly throwing snowballs at it. Men, so they all of the intermittent or just so ticked off at the Snowman they don't even bother messing with you. That's that's really cool. So that kind of like luring them away. Exactly keeping a busy over there while you fight the dragon. Hmm. That's very cool. That's very cool. And of course now well in after this combat updates release Snowballs will stack to 64 as well. So you can get even more snow in those chests. Yes, or you getting the In one year, so it's all going off. Now if I think if you use silk touch you could actually get the snow layer, but I don't because I think you have to turn that into snowballs to make a snow block anyways. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if this is like a year ago. That was Charlie figg back. We haven't even started like we literally just announced. Hey, let's let's do some Christmas streaming. We haven't even decided if we're going to the same place, which I'm hoping we are because there's a lot of like room left to be worked out over there. Yeah. There's a lot we can do with that Jimbo put up a great fence around it. That looks really cool. I doubt like bricks and that and there's a lot of area still in that in that section that we can use a method of using his design for that fence it may because I liked it so much. I saw that. Yeah, I was I was around the other day looking at your base because I need to update the intro of my episodes. So I was kind of looking for areas, you know to take screenshots of to put in the intro that I do I change that every five episodes. So I need a new one now and I was kind of looking around the bases and I was looking at around yours because you've just done all that Landscaping over there. Yeah, and now it kind of looks like I've been doing work the season. Yeah, and I saw the fence desired. I was like, oh that's for the Christmas area. That looks really good here as well. So yeah looking very nice. Yeah, I used it on the backside for my tree farming area and that area is just not it literally was for just chopping trees and then I would needed a Too kind of Mark out where my base ends and where regular Minecraft generation begins. I was like, well, I used it back there and it looked good. I'm just going to use it up here too. And oh, yeah, it looks really cool really cool. Yeah. So anyways, you found your location, you know where you're going to build. Where do you go from there? So first of all spawn proof, yes that have creepers coming up to you blow it up. So you Christmas build. So make sure you spawn proof and it again it lit up. You got a big fence get yourself a Jimbo. Yes, get yourself a Jimbo. One of the things you got to remember is light melt snow. Yeah, so You're one wanted to do is get that snow cone machine going because you got it replace all the blocks with snow blocks. Yeah, because otherwise it's going to melt those layers. So but at the same time cross out, yeah, but at same time, that's awesome. Because now you can do hidden lighting which I am all for so you can hide some lighting underneath like white carpet. I used iron trap doors every once in a while. I don't think there's any other white objects, you can really use now if it gets just those just like I am trapdoors and they the white carpets probably your best options on that definitely make some bushes in height some lighting underneath. That's my favorite way to hide lighting is bushes. Yeah. Got some Redstone lamps may be on top of your fence. If you can get a cool way of powering them from underneath using a lever to hide the red stone. Yeah get ours in daylight centered. It does a lot of time we found a use for the daylight sensor. So yeah, it's fine if it'll turn on and off when it's dark but it will not tell you the correct time. Now, it won't tell you know what it's dark but it's midday when it's midnight. It was just go and here's a random signal strength. It's black with oh and I go back to I'm sure it's not random and I'm sure someone that much smarter than me can dial it in but it's a come on marrying it worked before. Oh, yeah, they'll be so maths to it that we don't understand. Someone will probably play out to us at this moment. Someone pushes their glasses back and goes I've got this it's like guys I'm joining the Discord and I'm going to tell you why you're wrong. This is why does is dumb? Well, I'm sorry. I'm not live streaming. So you can't hit the dirt button to let me know. I'm dumb. We need a we need a retrospective dirt, but what can we do like My modes and Discord or something like that. We just need like a was it the Palm to the face of my Duds skin. Yeah, it's got that all that like we could make Dad stopped again. Please don't I'm losing brain cells by the day like the more white hair. I find in my beard. That's the more brain cells. I know have disappeared. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how that works. It's a a school of the bed you get the bride cells back. If you do that. Let's use a Sharpie. It's just gonna say I need a Sharpie forget hair. Dye Sharpies. Yes, it had eyes expensive. Well, it's off a Sharpie. Then you get into the mustache part and you start coloring it in and then you inhale too much Sharpie. So you just pass out. Awesome sleep for a bit kids. Do not inhale Sharpies. Don't do that. We don't want to be held responsible. And I was just sitting there thinking like well, they're not going to take me seriously because no one takes me seriously and then I was like, I better make sure they don't take me seriously. Do not inhale Sharpies. It's this climate. I'm looking for someone to record that with the end. The weathering effect is not responsible for your stupidity. Yeah, that will be in the show notes. Okay Baxter back to Christmas builds. I want to say I did well this goes under fun games to I built secret santa. Basically the last two times I did a Christmas Village that was really fun doing this because they could Asana. Yeah. The only problem is every time we've done secret Santa at least for me is always been like in the middle of the season. So everyone's worried here doubt. It's kind of like what do you get people about point? I think I have everything I have old. Full diamond Enchanted armor, they've got analyte ra they've got tridents which are useless the cut crossbows. They've got all this stuff. So what do you get people and yours was perfect last year because it was Ashoka box full of gold and carrots and I think I made that last until April so everybody needs food. Exactly. It's a consumable, you know, it's something that you need all the time. So definitely a Left and I had an idea for Secret Santa this year and I need to talk to the server maze to see if they'd be up for it. But in like instead of getting gifts for people like maybe doing collabs with people. So you do the normal secret Santa and whoever you get like you try to do a collab with them. Mmm. So that way everyone would have liked to co.labs with other people and kind of I mean, it's the season to be playing together to so why not? Play together and do cool apps or whatever. Yeah, it's kind of like how decoy did his sort of doorbell service? Why he do you a doorbell and then you did like a build or something for him. So for DK I did the potion brewing machine. Yeah, so that kind of thing where you could like work on something together or kind of like do something for each other rather than just giving Michelle could box full of stuff. I just realized that he never had me do anything for the doorbell. Oh, he installed in my shop decoy count on it message isn't well, if you guys don't know decoy does his single player world all I never did and it's a very fun episodes. So chill series to watch as well. You can just sit back, right so nice hot chocolate and just watch it. It's really cool. But he was just getting into that at the point. I requested a doorbell. Uh-huh. So he's been on there the entire time he's not really been on the server. So he hasn't eaten anything built. Maybe I'll go build one of those famous Ikea chairs for him because he needs help with that clear. Yeah. Clearly, I don't want to do that. Last time I did that. He just put chairs all over my my babies. Yeah. It was well, it shows that he's learned, you know, he's just showing off his skills. Yeah. Look what I can do. Okay. So what are some other things to build and yeah back to like what we did last year. So we had a big Marlo built like a big snow globe with like a Christmas house inside it. That was really cool. So this big glass Dome and I want to say that went up in like four hours. Yeah. I want to see my God for lunch and came back and there was a snow. Yeah it was Bear yeah, Bala wasn't even up. Yeah. No, I never saw him. He got it. He never was on when I was on and then when I got on he was already off again, so it's just like who built the snow coat roulette ball. Oh, it's like wet. Let's do this. Okay. So Barlow's obviously freaking Santa he's got tons of elves helping him. Yeah, definitely definitely and so you've got that you've got obviously the thing that I built last year the Christmas tree with the custom heads the different colored like Bobble kind of heads that you can put on So You people's Your Greens yellows pop those on there to look like bubbles and you've got and just remember this though. Jimbo's snow bad. Oh, yeah, and if his giant head on it, it's just gonna lead to no prank that lash over the fish and He has tried in what was that? Even about Jimbo at some point? I think Mitch mentioned fish sticks. Oh, yeah fish sticks. That is a I think he was just saying something weird how like I'll randomly yell out or fruit or something. Yeah, like I'll say bananas or I'll go potato and I think Jimbo just kind of went fish sticks and I was like, okay you want to play my game. I'm noticing that down fish sticks. I'm going to use that. It's a butt. You cannot use my own sayings against me. Yeah, that that snowman was perfect tho his head fit perfectly. It's until moms had yeah, so I removed prank January 1st. So you remove most of the pranks to be fair? Yeah. Well, I mean I thought me and Bank did prank surmise as kind of our Christmas livestream, which I thought was hilarious at the time, but I didn't want anyone to feel forced to have to clean up a prank. So I think I got to just about everyone's I'm trying to think I think Omni definitely did not let my prank stand for very long. I took mine down as part of Taking down the the bunny that Jimbo and off after somebody. I'm not saying who somebody killed some rabbits definitely wasn't me but I got blamed for it. So, yeah, the only thing I've been calling around the server have been cats and that's because I'm gonna put a ton of them in my base in the walls and ocelots under the ground. Yeah. That's what I always found that funny because he didnt realize I have friendly creatures sounds off because at the time I was building the gold farm, so I didn't want to hear the Minecarts non-stop. Yeah, so I just turned it on so he's putting all these cats around the base and I didn't realize it till like a week later baked comes over and goes did you get a cat? This cat's a kid? You don't have them? I don't know. Yeah. And then one day a magical chest appeared in the most random spot on my face and I was like hmm. I don't think so. So I stood like on the chest or next to the chest put down a bucket of lava. So it went all around it and sure enough. As soon as I opened the chest it was trapped chest and all these cats come springing out but they sprung out through the lava. So I'm just shooting fire cats the year. It was a terrific same as well as being extremely Really hilarious. So those who love Minecraft cats. I'm sorry. This was before the great cat custom pack design. So no jellies were hurt in the filming. Yeah, that was even before cats that was ocelots. Wasn't it? Because now the two separate things only ocelots and cats, I think. I believe it was still where you had to breed ocelots to make a cat. But yeah, they're definitely two different things now. Cool, cool. I think the thing that I loved most about our Christmas Village was your zombie snowball fight with the iron golem with the angles with the snow golems. I love that thing and I can't take any credit for that. I watched Tango and impulse build that one year and I thought that was the greatest thing I had ever seen and so me and make a political. Yeah, we built that two years in a row, I think each time. Slowly perfected their design because while it was good it still had a couple flaws or whatever. So you cheer I think it's gotten better and better and I guarantee you I could walk over there and that thing would still be working. I mean his I was that I was over the other day and it's looking around the Christmas Village and it's still going the still there having a snowball fight. Yes, you know the last nearly a year. They've been having a snowball fight. They must be tired. Third what's your definition of Cold War? These guys are throwing snowballs for a year? Yeah. Yeah guys. Yeah. I'm trying to think if I did an episode on that or if it was just a live stream. I think he showed it off in an episode. Thank you kind of went round the Christmas Village and kind of like looked at everything. Yeah, but it was definitely it was a livestream project though. Yeah. Yeah makes sense of something. How do I probably build a secret Santa on? An episode and then during the episode showed off the village and that's tough. I know you uploaded the livestream Replay for that one. Yeah, so you can go watch Duds and Bank build the zombie snowball fight if you want to go and watch that are free and a half hour live stream of them doing it. Those are whenever we have to get mobs those livestream seemed to take forever because you will like snow golems add zombies. This is going to take a while. Yes why I think that was at a time where they had just changed the rules for pumpkins. We're sure if you had to Shear the pumpkin. Oh, yeah, I want to say I remember putting a pumpkin on a snow golem going. What the heck? Why doesn't this work? It should work. I could have swear. I remember Omni walking over with shears and just clip and then boom Snow Golem. It's like, I don't think that was an episode. I think I was just messing around and he understood why I was trying a lot staring goodness that would pumpkin. Tower to staring at like what kind think out I think it was odd because Omni was in that area a lot but so is Jimbo hmm because both of them were grinding out ridiculous builds. Well, we got an igloo is also a fun Christmas build. Yeah, you can put like a nice fire in there some nice seating and stuff and have yourself a little Igloo because our igloos sort of in the middle of a frozen lake where we have armor stands with our heads on and with with like colored leather armor on it kind of like like the skating around the ice ring around. On the igloo, that's really cool as well. Hmm, you've got fun games down. Yeah, so we talked about secret santa, but I don't think there's anything yeah, I mean I can do like actual snowball fights instead of doing a snow golem snowball fight. You could actually throw the snowballs at each other and with the fact that snowball is going to stack to 64 now. That should become a little bit more fun. Yeah. It makes it a lot easier when it's 16. It's just like you just run out too quickly. So yes, it's for your entire hotbars stacks of snowballs. Entire inventory is just full of them. So I had to create a creeper comes up to you. Like I've got hit with snowballs with a got nothing else to be inventory. So yeah, but we have dressed up and so make yourself some Christmas skins. Luckily. We have linked who made I think all of us Christmas skins last year. I want to say not mine. Not yours, right because so that was one thing I really wanted to race this season was changing my skin. In for certain occasions, so I made my own Christmas skin before she got to make a skin for me. Okay? Okay, so I need that reminds me. I need to put mine on now now, it's December. I don't need to do this exact same engine record yesterday. Yeah, literally guys, what do you watch my next episode? You'll know when I've changed my skin. You'll know when we're this episode's been recorded because the next clip you'll see is me my skin and I'm not even gonna mention it just gonna change my skin halfway through the episode just not mention it just feel like though, it's fine. Was it this is I need to figure out do I want to use the Skinner's last year, or do I want to update my skin this year? I say that I really shouldn't because that episode that scripted has so many skin changes in it. You don't really want anymore. No, like I think I'm redoing. I like iron armor or chainmail armor to look completely different to get the effect. I want. Yeah. It's like yeah, it's like do I really want to make another skin that I don't need to if this episode never happens towards your Big Tease bam. I am the biggest tease because I keep talking about these books. I'm trying to write which again I haven't put a single page or a single word on a page. It's just basically still in the planning stages. But when I have an idea, it's always a big idea that it's going to take forever. Love it. Love it. I love it too until I realized crap. This is so much work now. I've got to work for this touch Lee happens if you find Fine if I was like a full-time YouTuber I'm talking like this episode would be done in two three days. Yeah, but because I have to go to work work out come home. Just like I'm so tired. I don't want to do this. You just want to sit back and go I just think I did this guy. Yeah. Can I just make the ideas? I don't do things. I just called with ideas and of a people don't ya this is the best way to live. I think they call that executive producer in Hollywood. Yep, just just become an executive least attract guys. I have this idea. Yeah, and I'd like you to run with it come back to me when it's finished. We're gonna be like 40 crew members will see I want to say the last season economy craft. I had an idea for a Batman episode because I was sitting there I was like, I'm Batman like all the time exactly it so I was going to do a battement up so I even had decoy. Ready to write music for it. And then when I was going through the tests some of this the shots and stuff. It wasn't working out correctly. Like it looked really dumb. Yeah, it's always just like we're going to ditch that. It looks so much better in my head. It really did. So that's why I like now. I'm like, all right, if I want to do what I wanted to do for the Batman episode. I need to figure out green screens and stuff and it's like and mainly or and mainly the green screens are so I don't have to build ginormous. It's in Minecraft like redo all the terrain behind it everything like that. I can like here's the front part of this set and then giant green screen behind it. Yeah, that's what they do in Hollywood. Exactly. Just take it from the pros. You know, this is how you make film. That's one of my favorite things. So if I watch a movie in the theaters that I really liked it I buy the Blu-ray or DVD or whatever it is, but I don't buy it for the movie. I buy it. For the behind-the-scenes special features. Yeah, I would much rather have the digital copy if I'm going to buy something. Yeah. Usually the digital copy is more expensive than the DVD which I don't understand because there's no physical media was because they released a digital copy two weeks early. Yeah, so they that's how they get you like. All right, so it have to say exactly but it's like 10 pounds more expensive. No, but it's just a file on a server exactly. I know how this works. Let's doesn't cost that much. I understand technology. Yeah, I'm sure that guy spent all of 10 minutes putting that video up for sale. Yeah, you don't have to make a disc put it on the desk make the art print they are put it all together ship it to a store pay someone to put it on a shelf, you know. Yeah, that guy's just sitting there going. Okay. Here's the MP4 in he's going. Oh that art that's in the DVD. I'm just going to grab the digital copy put that in a file drop the jpeg exactly some guys actually doing that and we're like getting onto him. He's like that's my careers work. You guys are making fun of that kind of energized by making we're not making fun of the job. You do were making fun of the fact that we have to pay $10 more for it. Yeah, let's not leave. It was the same price. That yeah, I could sort of understand but it should really be less. It really should that's just there's Carl's rant for the day guys. That's fine. Yeah, I wasn't plotted on rabbit. But you know that really set me off. I know I mean every time someone gets on the podcast. It's like something takes over in your like I am now an angry person. Yeah now me to rant about this. I swear we're not angry. It's just when the microphone is on I have to destroy something. The ramps I cut out of my episodes guys that you'll never see. It's just the bike the bike that does it. I had this idea for like a little scared. Basically there was an episode of common craft. I was doing something with TNT and which is the worst idea in the world don't ever do it. I think I was trying to do one of those TNT duper's. Yeah. I had to do that for my tree farm. Mmm, and I didn't realize that it has two point. Specific Direction. Yeah, and I only realized this after the first attempt to building it after I've blown it up twice. We'll see how was blowing myself up with it. Luckily. I didn't do that. But yeah, so it's like, oh I should just put like a funny role of this. I like the end of the episodes mind you guys you should always watch the end of my episodes. It doesn't happen a lot. But when there's something stupid or funny I always put it at the very end of the episode. And so yeah, you got to go through the credits and everything. Yeah. I was like I'll do this because I blew up like four or five times. I was like, I just put that together, but the only problem it was just basically me cursing the entire time. I was like, I can't use that I need to get call to bleep all of this for me. Well, this was before we had a Carro so I had to bleep all of it and I was just like that's too much. Yeah, but it would literally just be for a good four minutes the entire clip just replace all the audio with music at this point. I thought about doing that too, but it just makes the outro weird. I just feel like what was this made? I don't understand. This is music and some guy just like blowing himself up. Crazy crazy. Yeah, so we have one more item on our list for Christmas. I live stream days. Yes, which I know hermitcraft are doing to this month. But there's we've well a few hours ago. We said should we do a livestream day. We'll see here's the thing. I've been wanting to mention the livestream day, but I have been purposely waiting for hermitcraft because the last two times we've tried to do a live stream. Day, it's somehow managed to be on the same day as hermit crab in like they're not mentioning that they're going to do a live stream day. We're barely mentioning we're going to do a live stream day. And if somehow they always ended up on the same days, you can say it don'ts the stealing all days. You can sign up. Go ahead. I know we came out like three hours before them and mentioned it. Yeah that it was like oh side. I saved a guy's gotta keep the little guys down. So that should just that there's not a single Of hermitcraft member that's paying attention to us. They do not know who we are exactly the like it would these people what's this podcast? What is it? What what? Yeah, I think that doing those on Sundays though, and we usually do hours on Saturday. So it shouldn't be a problem. Yeah. I wanted to make sure that we kind of knew when they were going to be doing theirs. So we didn't end up doing on the same day again, which yeah, like you said, they're doing theirs on Sunday. So I was really excited about that. Yeah, I think it's the 8th from the 15th. They're doing this. So hopefully we can get a Saturday live-streamed a setup maybe before there's maybe the week after we'll see we need to have some discussions internally about when we can get people available for that but it should happen. Hopefully fingers cross fingers crossed that I think that's kind of it. We went way longer than I thought we were going to add though. Right? I looked at that topic at wed we can Not talk about that for more than 10 minutes guys. This is literally what happens before every podcast. Holy crap how we're going to talk about that for an hour. That's not going to happen. We need to come up with backup topics. Yeah who needs to have stuff sitting in the wings ready to go? We don't have any of that this episode was he this is where the rants come in handy because like when we have a low topic and I feel a rant coming on. I just let it come out. Let's go with that. Yeah, let's just rant. We're so dysfunctional as a podcast but it works. So wow. I'm hoping I'm waiting for the time for someone to join the Discord just to be like you guys stop ranting and talk about Minecraft. Yeah, it's like guys this is a Minecraft podcast. I don't know if you've noticed I would it's in the title. You guys should know what you're doing. I don't even know how to play Minecraft successfully. So Josh is there. I Wing everything guys we've never actually played Minecraft. All those YouTube videos. I've been making for two years. Don't pay attention to those. Yeah, it's not awesome stuff. It's definitely schwabe playing for me and I just talked over his shoulder. We have a team. That's a conspiracy very fun. Yes. I've still some of Marlo's Little Helpers that he used to build a snow globe. I stole one of them and now he's playing Minecraft for me. Yeah. We don't even we don't even have computers. No recording this in my car, if we recall this on tape and that we send it to Anchor by the post. They put it up for us great. Quran. I need to sound effect of just the tape exiting the other role so it's just going to okay. Let's in this because we're over again. Yeah now it's just kids. Yeah.
