Welcome to the withering effect episode 26 published January first 2020. I'm Carl or car rides to the rest of the internet. And today is a very special episode of the podcast where I'll be taking a look back at some ofBest conversations and ideas from our episodes in 2019. We started back in June with our very first episode discussing the new weapons and mobs in the Minecraft dungeons trailer Addy free Minecraft dungeon is I got excited for oh you did I did. Okay. I wasn't excited for when I first saw it, but after that trailer it really felt like what Nintendo's doing with Link's Awakening. Okay, trying to bring back an old style of gameplay on games with newer views and takes on it. Right, and I guess you're mainly aiming at the sort of top down View and yeah, well kind of that, right? Yeah and right. Well, yeah, it doesn't look like it's going to be any kind of building or crafting or any that kind of stuff. But I think it looks like a fun game. It's a way to introduce maybe new Mobs to see how people interact with them maybe in way to bring in new weapon types to see how the weapon types interact with mods because I have a feeling 115 will be a combat update and I wouldn't be surprised if they bring in something like a spear or a heavy hammer or something like that. I had not seen it from that point of view, I think. That's I like that that seems like a good idea. I would I would like to build a big hammer or something in the game, which I saw in the trailer. They picked picked out a big hammer. I saw yeah, it's interesting trying out mobs and weapons through that. That's that's for sure. I looked at it and thought it was cool. Like, you know, it seems like a fun game but I didn't get the idea. There was anything more than just running through a dungeon and beating mops up. Basically. Yeah it definitely Just looks like a Dungeon Crawler. Yeah, but I didn't see anything. Well, I'm I'm hoping they will add it because that would be really cool. But just a little story or anything like quests or maybe even a thousand we could just hang out or start from you know, like Link's Awakening has for example, yeah, even a newer games like they have that as well right there sort of it's a full-on RPG and this just seems like an RPG with just the dungeons which is going to be fun for a while. I'm sure. But for the long time, I don't think it'll last if they don't ya a little bit of extra replayability to light actually suffer a bit. Yeah, I like to see stuff where you could take your Minecraft skin and bring it into the game. So that way you feel like Dungeons is an extension of your gameplay on wherever you play Java console Bedrock from what I understood customisation was definitely something they were adding in it. There was a big part of it. So so I guess that'll be I mean obviously everybody wants to get gets his own character skin in there. Right? Right, but my favorite must realize is that's where they're going to monetize things because it's a free to play a game now, but I have a feeling they're gonna nickel-and-dime you on making your guy look cool same as like the console version and to buy skins as well. I get that. I'm okay with a free to play game charging you for customizations and stuff like that to pay for the game. Me that's the brightest solution out of all of them, but it'd be really cool to be able to bring over my own personal skin and play with it. And for all I know maybe I'm able to customize my guy to look exactly the way it does in Java. I guess the least they could do is just add sort of a baby payable option that you could add your own skin or something. Preferably. They just do it for free right but then I can I can see how that would conflict with their own skins. Could recreate it. I guess something like that and they do have to make money somewhere because like I said, it's free to play games so I can buy just it's a good solution. I mean, I've played free to play games. Okay, if you needed the biggest one, I've played this League of Legends. They handled it the same way, right? You can buy skins. It's optional and the game in general is for free and I have to say it was a great game to play. I think DOTA animals at the same way like a lot of stuff is free. But, you know, if you want to customize you can pay and sort of support the Yeah, it's a great way to do things. I say I'd say yeah, I'm on an agreement with that. I think it would be cool to add the Java skins and there but if the only way to monetize this game is through skins. I am a hundred percent for that way way better than doing loot boxes or pay-to-win stuff. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I mean, I think it could be fun to have some kind of loads from from the Final Bosses same as like World of Warcraft with deal with it. For example, yeah. But yeah, I hope to see like a little extra storyi else. It's probably not gonna last for me for too long right like doing some kind of a new dungeon every month would be really cool. I don't know how hard that would be. I don't know how big their dungeons are. But yeah good question as well. I wonder how the like how much you would need a team if that makes sense like yeah, I can you play it by yourself. right and the sort of traditional What is it RPG kind of things that you need a group right? You need someone to heal you need someone to do that? Yeah, you never told me something else, right? I wonder if they sort of you know, you can just go in there with a bunch of friends and start beating things up or is there going to be like, do you need some strategy in it? We now fast forward to July and episode free. We're done some Bank come up with some improvements that they would like to see to Minecraft. We look at things like Redstone gears better Inventory management and lighting options. Mechanically moving gears. Yeah, that's that's a pretty cool idea. I'd like to put a gear on top of the piston and another gear going to that gear and physically be able to see turning motions moving that piston up and down. So maybe you can control the speed of a piston opening and closing. Oh that could be interesting. It made me think of something else that I know I a long time ago. I told off I was just like How cool it would be to have like some kind of strengths you could make an actual throb H Bridge or something? Yeah, it should work really well with those gears. Maybe something like rope could be cool. I'd love to have rope to do draw Bridges and all that kind of stuff. I think hanging bridges. Yeah. I think it's stupid that leads don't do that. Now. I think you should even take one end of a lead and put it on a fence post take the other end put it on a fence post and it is done. Yeah, I can see how it could be short of a tricky thing to implement as well though. It wouldn't work like a block who did it. And then even the leads are a bit wonky. Yeah, you can see how I don't know. It's hard to it's hard to say something about I guess but I would love to see it. Well to me, I think you just keep lead the same as it is, but you would change the fence so you can attach a lead to an animal and offense. If the lead I guess he's the animal first. And I know there's a trick you can break the lead and still get it on the fence somehow but I think it's just changing the fence to a classification as an animal maybe not so much an entity that it was it go. Okay. I'm attached to two objects that I'm allowed to be attached to I don't know I can't code or no the background how any of this works, but to be I don't think it would be that hard. Maybe you know, it's I would love to see it. Anyhow, did she just work towards it really should yeah, my next thing is better Inventory management. Hmm because my identities are always full. Mmm. Oh man, I think sugar boxes were a great addition to the game. Probably the most important and I don't know. most important new block to the game ever since redstone Yeah, that could very well be true to me a lighter has are really important, but they were not important at till firework Rockets became a thing well, so if you like try I sometimes I thought idea it could be cool if we didn't have them because it changes the way you experience builds of people with Ashoka box. I've never had that idea like, oh, it could be cool if we didn't have those. It's like they've always been great. Yeah one this brings back to more unique Redstone items a shocker box Minecart. Yeah, you have my car test, but how cool would it be to instead of a hopper emptying out what's inside the chest like a minecart chest, but do it sucks the entire truck or box out so when it comes back as Mobile in the new one. Yeah, it's just an empty bank or yeah. Oh devil, be cool. Vehicle rats in addition. Yeah, Redstone genius. Yeah, you deserve that this one this yes. He doesn't say that other miles. Well, it's been a while you didn't do much. I didn't know doesn't matter. Alright, my next would be cool. Like my next thing is I think everyone agrees with more unique lighting options. Yep. Yep again, I agree. I think everyone loves lanterns. I think they are great thing to the game. I even like in rods now that they're not purple Mmm Yeah, but we don't have a lot of full block options still. It's hard to light up like bigger areas without like spamming thorax or something. It's yeah, I'm going to that right? Yeah, it's not Landscaping. Mmm Yeah, it's hard to light light up. Nice big areas without yeah. I mean you could use lanterns now, but that's pretty much just as real as having torches everywhere. Yeah. I'm person I would love to be able to die Redstone lamps so they put off. Yeah, that would be cool. I will be really cool. I want shades of color everywhere. to me Minecraft to Gray well, even if it doesn't change the light color, it could just be cool to have a different color than like the brownish yellow yams. Right? So you could plant them in that are into your build or whatever. I really think I agree with you. I would not hate it, but I feel it would kind of be lost not to be able to have Different lighting. I think we even with OptiFine you're able to do it. Somehow mmm. Oh, yeah. We'd like I mean, obviously they're gonna have to do it. So it does create the color light but, you know, at least give them the option to just change the color continuing the theme of improving Minecraft. We now go to episode 5 mobs mobs are more mobs. Where does the bank come on? With a weight of farm quartz and a giant worm with new mobs in the nether. But now here comes the fun part. I decided to try to make my own custom mob from scratch and we talked about the rules and our rules for this part of the topic was you can't generate a structure to basically give a reason to have a mob. There's so like we both kind of agreed. Well, if we generate structures in the nether having Golems bonder would be awesome. It's like well, no because there are no structures and another other than nether fortress. You have to use what's there? You can't make your own to justify a mob. Yeah, yeah, we'll make it sort of too easy and too hard at the same time. If you did that like you don't want to invent them all up and then having to like come up with yeah, I don't know if mechanics and structures to make it work. You sort of just Wonder Mop, right? Yeah. It's like well, I want to crack it in the ocean and it spawns next to this giant castle and underwater. It's like ordered you have a garden guardian Tipple and stuff. Yeah, and probably the you would be more inventing like the costal than the actual mop. Yeah, the kind of thing. I think that could happen as well. I saw it was a good idea to not just have have a mop and not include like structures or something like that. Yeah, and I'm going to give you half credit on my mob because Bank thought of the spawning mechanic for my mom and my mom is a wraith. So it's a ghost like creature that will spawn when a player is near Soul Sand. The Wraith is attracted to the player so it will try to like hovered towards the player but it won't attack them unless provoked. So if you even just swing at it, that's when it's going to attack you and it's going to tack you kind of like the flying Vex mobs would just in that crisscross pattern. The only difference is they can only be killed with fire aspect. So it makes them Opie because let's face it. A lot of people don't put fire aspect on the short. Well, I guess flame on a boat would also work. It's got to be a flaming weapon Fire fire would kill them basically. Yeah, if you could get them to hover into fire or even lava because I'm kind of lava is fire. I know a lot of mobs is another don't died Allah, but this one would so that'd be cool in the big thing is when it drops or when it dies. It drops courts. So now it's a farmable mob for courts. Yeah, at first I thought like rate and that's that's an interesting. Mope. Why would it be in another and then and then I started thinking well, it's kind of a like hellish mope, right? Yeah. It's kind of once you're letting should make sense to have us. Yeah, it makes sense to have it in another and then like you said, I know you were struggling with like are what we respond mechanics and then I suggested sort of something of salsa and I think that will be a great I think it will be a great model, but I think you invented To the mall something there. Yeah, I mean it when you mentioned salsa and it makes perfect sense. It's soulsand The Wraith could be spawning to try to steal the soul out of the player. Yeah, they sort of seem like they do to have no like heckley 100 percent sure what a rate actually is, but you know it sort of fits the description that they would be after souls and I love the idea that they drop corks. Yeah, it would that's just amazing FlexPay. E on a multiplayer server because after a while you start to run out of quartz in here and you got to dig a while to get some more likely Ripple effects. Not too bad. Common craft was way worse with losing courts. Yeah, I think courts needs to be farmable. I know you can trade for it with villagers now, but farmable courts, I think is a must I think that's all I really kind of have for The Wraith. What are you having? Well, I wanted to add one more piece that sort of sort of maybe existed the whole fleshly. I say this Vehicles. It was a myth and then I think we all heard of Herobrine. I think he's named. Yep. I know you know, it's a mope. It's it's I think it's been like a myth for a really long time as and It's sort of this a slide out for a lot of the updates or whatever and every update they'll say removed Herobrine and yeah notes. Yeah, and I remember like seeing videos of people and countering him and stuff which obviously were faked but it would be like really rare something to encounter, but it would basically mean like if he looks at you you're deaf or something. I know eventually they they sort of figured out that it really wasn't in the game. Which kind of is a shame. I always like the idea of having them around somehow like just fairly rare. Yeah. I didn't know it added something like ooh, what's that just makes you sort of jump for every unknown thing. You see in your in the corner of your eyes or something. That's a good thing man. I got a weak heart. Yeah. Good point. I mean, yeah, I don't know. I just like the idea of that if you like the killer bunny, right? Yeah, it will be one one in a million or something would be the killer bunny. I'd like that idea you have here Ryan and his pet killer bunny. Out to kill. Oh boy. That would be even worse like oh look at that money there and then it tries to eat your face. So you turn around to run and there's Herobrine great gave the yeah, but in the same spirit, I obviously intended the mob as well. I don't think it matches yours. I think you offended an awesome one, which would really work in Minecraft and - a bit more gimmicky and and I was thinking case it's been something that's been discussed lately a lot in general. I think gave updates in a kind of thing. Yeah, and it's all it could be interesting to just have a dedicated like gave monster or something considering caves are normally like really full of hostile mobs already identikit necessarily needs to be a hostile mob. Okay, but I thought it could be fun to have it where you Feed it or us and then when it eat it it sort of spits it back out or poops out like the the converted version of the or with a small fortune effect, which could also work for like iron or gold like you find iron ore and just give it to that thing and it would eat it up and then poop out like two or three iron ingots. Yeah, I mean real cool for early game for sure. Yeah, that was my thought like you go down in caves and I don't know if you would encounter that and would sort of help you out. I think there would just add a bit of fun and I wouldn't be too overpowered. But maybe you could do I don't know combine it with quartz. Maybe you can do that, you know feed it courts and then you get a bit of Fortune effect or whatever. Obviously Redstone diamonds, you know, when you find your first diamonds, that's always some people wait a long time. Did they leave Diamond sort of underground and then when they get a fortune back actually go in mind. Yeah, it's sort of go around that part. Maybe that's true. I like that that could be a really fun and like you said it's gimmicky but it's not Opie. And yeah, I'm breaking. It's it's a perfect nice little fit. It really emphasizes. We're here to help you the first night. In episode 12 doesn't bank. I joined by Nina for the lionheart SMP. She joins us to talk about what it's like running a server and how they set the rules and try and differentiate themselves from other smps. We we have a lot of because we have a lot of members. We have a lot of different people playing and having like their own opinions on like all that stuff. I Fishing not x-ray, I think it's you gotta find the people that are similar to your interest in how you play as well in order to like have fun. But what we kind of do we just kind of let things happen. We did we try not to like strike people too much. So we let Auto fishing slide of what we thought was more important was I guess the economy. So if we have you know, you don't want like that one person to get all the money, right? Yeah. It's it's else are we gonna look we all gotta mine for diamonds? So I guess like you it's important for the people that auto fish not get so stingy with their books or whatever it is. Yeah. I don't know. It's it's hard. At trying to it sir. I think part of the reason we also implemented that kind of thing is we had sort of an open application server like we were on the you yes or whatever. So we had like quite a lot of traffic from people coming in and going out and if you allow things like an out of Fisher and I would have clicker that's gonna they can have insane Farms. It was sort of to prevent a lot of random people just building firms and then starting ordering Adam stuff for no reason. We had lots of players you have come build the farm and then just kind of leave like they didn't have a house. I didn't have insurance. That's all they did. It's like you we had a pretty extensive like application process. Yeah, it wasn't super easy because that's the way we felt like if you were willing to sit there and fill out our crazy application and deal with the fact that we had a server vote to vote you in. And everything we felt that was enough to like okay this player obviously wants to be here once to be part of a community, but now we get so many people who would just put a farm and leave. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah. I did they do that. I don't know. We also had a couple people who they've come on just literally x-rayed for massive amounts of diamonds. Yeah, they just went down and started like directly going for the diamonds. Yeah, it's like dude. You have a stack of diamond blocks three hours after you join the server. You don't think we saw that. There's no plug in that disables x-ray mods. We didn't have anything anyways around it. Yeah used a car. What was that plug-in Bank girl protect? Yeah, we use core protect and it gave us the freedom to make sure nobody was cheating without restricting. Basically. What I did is I once had a I use girl protect and just checked like what diamonds like diamond blocks that have been modified. Paint and then if one person with too much in a row, like showed up, I would start investigate. Yeah, see simple. Stop that it was yeah, it was like hardly any work but really effective but it also helped us know when somebody was stealing from another person because that's obviously a huge Nono on a server. Mmm. Well and I started playing on like an anarchy server where I like cheating is basically And what you kind of have to so I started learning about all the things that were possible which obviously helped a lot as well. Just knowing what they could do. So basically you learn from the darkness, basically. Yeah. I'm so glad we don't have to do that anymore. Sometimes it's finding this kind of fun to play investigator. But yeah. Sometimes it just was a lot of work. Yeah, it seems tedious to do. Yeah, it really was one time. I'm not public servers are not for me. They require are a little definitely a lot more work than than a sort of close to her. Yeah. Yeah, like on ripple effect. I have no worries about any of my stuff whatsoever. And I love the fact that I can have that like if core protect wasn't working on common craft. There was no way I was getting off the server for that night just because I couldn't trust some people as far as I could throw him. I mean for the most part they're all fine. Yeah, this kind of goes into promoting your server and how to make your server different from all the other servers out there because let's face it. There are a ton of different servers out there. But like on common craft we tried to promote our server as like the public hermitcraft. We played a lot like them that's kind of what our server did and if you'd like that stuff you could come join ours and then we would add like the vanilla plum. This is what I want to call it and I'm super proud of some of the stuff we did because we were doing it before some of the other servers were and I'm sure there were other servers doing it before us but like using command blocks to do custom traders that would trade decorative mob heads or have zombies and skeletons and spiders drop currency. That's cool that you could trade. Yeah like Common Core. Yes, Tom. We're going best thing ever. Yeah, they were so much fun to make as well. Hmm. They look like sort of Chinese coins. Just like a hole in the middle and then they were green and blue like each quadrant was like, how do you how do you say that? I was switching around like green and blue. Yeah sort of that because of the server. I thought they were really cool. Yeah, you could Farm but it wasn't worth your time to farm them. It was just better to play the game and when they showed up, oh, man. Yeah cool comic coin. So you couldn't really get we only got like custom hats that that sort of decorative things. So wasn't there wasn't much Point than And getting a lot of it. That's also hard to decide like bouncing and economy. Yeah. Yeah. We were everywhere like we don't want to I don't know we would do don't want to make it Bay to win basically. So we just added gimmicky stuff. Following on from the Minecon predictions episode we joined us and Bank in episode 16 where they talked about how successful their predictions were about. What Mojang would announce at MineCon in September. Let's talk about the biome vote because yeah, we didn't get to really talk about the last biome before the last podcast will now and that's the one that one did you actually vote? I did not actually true. Okay me neither. Like I said Saturday, I was out playing football. I was not home all day. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I wasn't I wasn't my parents. So I wasn't at home either. I didn't get the chance to watch the whole thing either. So I would have voted for Mountain. So it's a six-year see it one. But then again the ones I voted for on every other vote have never actually won. So maybe it's a good thing. I don't vote. Yeah, maybe. It's still floating. Yeah, so Mountain we guess correctly. There's goats there mountain goats. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks real goal when we upload the episode and then the day after I'll be recorded that pisode and then the day after it was it was announced that I was like wow. That's it's awesome. I don't expect that. We did. We also mentioned Mountain generation. Mmm that's going to be in there. It's like ya know what Mojang's doing before? Do it or they're finally starting to do the cool stuff. Well, and then we also called that 115 wasn't going to be a big update and that they were saving everything for 116. Which also kind of seems true. I'm telling you guys. We need to be more popular get your Minecraft news here because we're guessing on all cylinders, right? Maybe you're gonna get your red dragon Red Dragons one per episode. Yeah, I wanted to help you out this stuff. That's like my little trademark thing instead of just Red Dragons TM. It's Red Dragons one per episode. Yeah mountains super excited about that. I was upset that mountains didn't have a new tree and then we had another update. So now I'm not worried about that anymore. In the same episode does the bank give us their first impressions on the 116 never update for never 4S and blue fire to knew what types and mobs. Let's find out what they think about the forthcoming update to Minecraft. Wow, yes beep. Yeah, it actually says that in the notes I gotta yeah, it's actually in the notes. So yeah Carl. Well, I mean we're through start then another of they they I mean I feel they did a lot they gonna add biome student other which I think is awesome. Yes. I kind of like being in another already. I'd like to and I told it was a really scary place and I'm really comfortable in it. But that opens a new new sort of perspective on it and I love to explore that new nether. Yeah the to me the nether now feels like a place. I want to go travel through. Yeah, this is not gonna be the same mole rat. It's going to have variety and colors and stuff. Yeah, whereas before you kind of enclose your tunnel or you build a really high. So it's it's whatever you want now, it's like well, it'd be kind of cool to have Windows and look out into The Nether and all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, especially the the forests they looked really well really cool colorful. Yeah. I'm excited for blue fire. Oh, yeah same here and I'm sure I mean it's going to work when you lights Olson. So I guess that's just going to work in the Overworld as well. Yeah, I think I remember them saying it's going to work. No, as long as it's on Soul Sand it's going to be that's going to make so much cool like magical places. Hmm, which hurts and stuff. Yeah. I saw some new glow stone as well. I think I saw that too. I didn't have its glow stone. But it sort of looked like it. I want to call it new glowstone to it kind of looked like an orange that was sliced and put on a black but right I can't remember a bit low. I mean, I guess I can tell it was in the nether. Yeah, everything is maybe some new kind of order that could be I guess, huh? I mean with all these changes that I can't really I don't I think I saw something about new or type did you know think I did either? Okay, I mean maybe that that's going to be it. I want to lean more towards its kind of a new glow stone. Yeah, that was my impression as well. Well, maybe it's like a new fruit or plant or something. Oh something edible. Yeah, because it may be because they mentioned food in the nether was a thing now and if you saw from the video there are tons of new mushrooms. So I had missed that I didn't seen you mushrooms. I mean I could see at least five or six new kinds of mushrooms in one picture and I went to Cali they're like blue and orange red. Why create new to new mopes. They are ghosts. Yeah. Well, they're gonna add new mopes, but they drop meet the Beast. Yes, but can I have honey on it? I mean, let's hope you find you'll eventually get your honey on meat but I didn't read anything or see anything about it. Yeah, I haven't seen that either. I wish I could say. Yes. 1.16. What else do we get we get new trees? Yes, we get never trees. I saw blue ones and red ones. I hope we get new woot with that. I mean I can't imagine it would be like Oakwood. No. Well, they had like these veins and on right? Yeah. I know. Yeah, I'm just assuming we're gonna get new a new week type because yeah, well guys to be so here's what gets me so they have these like a red and blue veins in his new Woods. Yeah that going to be like tree sap or we going to be able to get the tree sap out of those woods, maybe kind of sort of looked like glowy vines that grow on it. That's something that could be it too. Oh, thanks guys doggies. Yeah it was Means yes one sneeze. Well bless you. Yeah, you know which one but yeah, so they could be Vines. I thought they look like veins but I don't know. I've watched it two or three times trying to figure this out. But there's definitely New Leaf blocks. Yeah that too. The way I kind of saw the veins. They just looked like they were part of the bark didn't really expect them to be separate. Yeah. Yeah any leaves that that's going to be interesting. Yeah, and they're different colors. They're not green. We have red and blue leaves finally. Well, I was just starting to think like how would they react and over worlds? Oh true. I wonder if they die in the Overworld and you have like gray kind of like how if you take quarrel out of the water? It turns right or like regular leaves to change their colors a little bit depending on which biome there that maybe they have the same subtle kind of change like they just get a bit dull or but still be right. Blue but what if it's tradition what if it's just one tree type and depending on where in the nether that tree grows it changes from Blue to red or red to blue? Oh, yeah, cuz where I saw the trees they were sort of entire that's coal or biomass. I think yeah, if you look down they have like no other grass now and that's colored red and blue too. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't even reach something about that. I don't know if it's going to be cold and that are gross or something else or yeah. I don't know what nobody thinks that nothing gonna add. Yeah, we they going to add some new kind of trading as well. I don't know if you looked into that. We've heard about that against so I heard I was going to work which basically is you throw a gold bar at them and then they they can throw something back, right? Which I thought was kind of cool. Yeah, and to me it all depends on what they throw back at you obviously, there's going to be a loo table with percentages of what they throw back at you if they're just throwing like a gold sword at you and it sounded like it's not going to be an effective trading. We like regular villagers, right but it does sound like the way they're going to update the another asset. It's a sir. Oh fumble spot like you could just go instantly into the not our students respond in the world and survive. Yeah, and I'm sure that's going to be like some hardcore players world like that. It's like day one in the nether don't come back out. Yeah, probably I mean with the new not on that that's actually like you would stay sane. Yeah talking about the trading system when I heard about out it to me it kind of sound like this was a trading system. They were going to use for 114 and they realized that players were really attached to more of the older way. So they just kind of made a better older way and then took this trading system and put it with the pig line guys. If that think I follow yeah, I didn't even think about that. Maybe yeah, because the thing about that you can hold an item up at a villager and he'll tell you what he trades or what he would trade for that now anyways, mmm, so they just basically took that concept and said hey, I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to give you, but I'm going to give you it. Yeah, I mean gonna make sense. It could be a stretch but I'm going to keep stretching because we have guessed right so much on this Minecon announcement that who knows we've got to be right at some point. Right if we just keep saying stuff. Yeah, it'll become true. Maybe somebody is listening. Yes. If you are listening tell us please. Oh, we shouldn't forget another cool thing about the bilgin is that they are going to attack other mobs. Yeah, that looks sort of effect. So once I am worried though, like if they had like a zombie pigman instead like a skeleton and taking a zombie pigmen and you're screwed when you're around or I'm gonna be safe when they do that. I don't know but I also looked at like, okay, so you have gold Farms right? Well if they go around just killing Pigman now you have no gold Farm. Unless they drop goal to but now I've now what if they're taking out where their skeletons before you can take out with their skeletons. Yeah, what if they take out the piglet Beast that you use to get food before you can take it out? Like are they just going to Rampage to the nether to the point where there's nothing but them in there at the time? How is that going to work? Well, I'm sure I mean they're going to have some spawn requirements. If they're going to spawn like another big like the big man, we got now that that actually could be an issue. Yeah, but just because you mentioned that I guess they're gonna spawn in certain areas, maybe to get a their own biome. Maybe it's going to be like Villages. They just have a yeah or a little Andrea Pillager Outpost I should say. Yeah. I think that that last one is probably that seems likely like they're gonna have some kind of outposts. Village kind of deal yet me would make the most sense. I do like how if you go digging through their chest they get all angry at you and stuff. Yeah, and they don't attack you or something when you wear gold like your sweater invisible if you wear golden armor instead like they are really after gold always or something. Yeah. I'm not sure exactly how that works because I don't think their whole stole two are two anyway, yeah, actually provoke them it would give golden armor a purpose because let's face it right now. It really doesn't have one. Yeah, but then again, it's not really a big enough purpose for me to say. Oh I need gold armor. Well, so I mean it's smokes, right? So yeah slap him in the face with my sword exactly. I have so many little clips of me saying stuff that if out of context would be extremely bad. So please don't take my words out of Alex well, maybe somebody's going to make a song out of that. Please don't. Episode 19. The Bane of Arthropods is all about enchantments doesn't Bank come up with their own enchantments that they would like to see added to Minecraft. Could the OptiFine Zoom key come to vanilla. Let's find out. So I thought of an interesting and challenging because we use I think a lot of people use OptiFine and I used it for a long time. Just just so I could get the zoom button. Toto what about getting binoculars and chance that you could put on your helmet and then you could zoom any of that or maybe if you put it on that it's automatically assumed in it. You have to switch helmets, I guess an enchantment that gives you a button to press and then something happens exactly like OptiFine Zoom. I think they could be interesting that might open up a new sort of way of or and chance for Minecraft. Yeah. I kind of like them to be done. First of all just there and I tell they're sort of simple the background you don't have to do anything for it. Yeah, I mean think about I think if I know Yang fixes the rendering engine people no longer need OptiFine people no longer have the cheese. Umm key. That's a good point fine ocular enchantment Dada. Yeah. I think that could be nice especially since the zoom function. Well I got used I'm so used to it. Yeah. I can't live with that in anymore. Hmm. And I think you can do it in game. Anyway, right if you switch your field of view and stuff. Yeah, like it just changes the settings a bit just really didn't game. Yeah. I think that could be a fun one. I agree. So what about your enchant? What did you come up with? So my ancient is also in armor enchantment like yours. Hmm. It's called saturation. Okay. So what it does is whenever you strike an enemy, it gives you saturation feel or fills up your food bar. Oh, so while you're fighting you don't have to worry about eating as long as you keep killing or keep strike right say Oh, I like that. That's a pretty good. Yeah, well us obviously like if your fruit bars full you keep the Regeneration effect, which keeps you alive longer, right and it kind of forces you to keep fighting and not doing the whole I'm going to attack a couple mops. Runaway, eat jump back in at a couple mobs runaway eat. Yeah, it gives you a reason to stay in the fight. But if you put it on the armor of it work on the bow as well. I guess you could just shoot from a distance. I would have to guess so I don't know if it would be something like it would drop XP orbs like how mending works. I don't know yet that you want to do that because now you're adding more particle effects to the game and stuff. Mmm, unless you added into the XP arbs. I mean in general really like the idea though. I feel like keeping your saturation up. Yeah, it's it's not like it's strong but it's not too strong. I if you would get my actual Health heart back or something. I feel that will be a bit too strong. That's what I thought because that was my original thigh. And I was like, no, it's just it's like mending it's to Opie. Yeah, and now you're still dealing with like the natural regeneration. You have a Minecraft. You just don't have to worry about eating like you say, which is that I think that's awesome. That could be a really cool and chance they'd pack somebody give me Red Dragons. Give me saturate XD be an option. Well do the binocular one as well. Oh, yeah. Might as well you zoom in with OptiFine and then put your binocular helmet on you can see like every little pixel in the game. I need you would see beyond Randall distance. Like you just look in the void and just x-rays the world to blank space tubes too far Odo hot cheese. Following on from the never update announcements from mine cam. It's time to take a look at another Barren area of Minecraft. The end doesn't Bank come up with new block pallets more mobs, they'd like to see and a better transport system and even a link to a new Sky Dimension. I remember like when I started the game a long time ago, but the nether at that as well, it's like a very Place to be and you're like really scared and all that. But for the ended it died out like quite quickly. It was really intense and interesting at the start and then it kind of quickly got just like oh, this is a chore. There's no fun being hearing it to me. Once you get an Electra. The end is not a scary place. You're not worried about games fly everywhere. Yeah, so it to me, it needs to give you some stuff to go see and that's what I came up and said, well you need to in villages. We're getting something like that. Oh desert with a big lens. I want that in the end. Give me give me something that could be interesting. I guess also have corresponding villagers. Yeah. I thought you could do something like the pig line. So they're not like regular villagers, but kind of creating a Other kind of friendly mob that might just read unique items to the end. Make sure that whatever items you get from the end can only be gotten from the end. So mmm it gives you a reason to kind of go there. Yeah. The thing was just like they did in another I want different colors. So basically the end is pretty much purple yellow and black that's it. It's mostly yellowish. I feel that's all the colors in the entire world. Mmm. It's just like come on. We need some more stuff. I want like purples and orange. I had the idea of maybe use mycelium. So now you have a second location to dig up mycelium in the yeah, maybe like in villages or I know that's using purple again, but maybe I don't know make water colors different maybe water in the end instead of being Blue, it's green or something crazy. All right, I think I saw on the on the wiki when I quickly looked on their earlier that in the I think mobile edition or book editions. It's called I think they made they made the water orange and purple sea, but I wouldn't want purple because everything's already purple and yellow And blacks so yeah, but I mean at least eight that's something yeah. I had another thought that so hmm dragging his breath. It's pretty much only used for legal owner lingering potions, right? Yeah. When's the last time you used a lingering potion? What I think the better question is, when's the last time I used the potion the okay true not that often. Yeah, so I mean it's mainly used for what tipped arrows and lingering potion. Hmm two things that don't really get used to ton. I would love to be able to take dragon's breath and create. particle block I mean, it seems like things are getting really good with smoke particles and Bubbles and stuff like that were so they're not really affecting gameplay performance and well, even if it did like they're working on that our graphic program performance and all that. So yeah, and I got this idea from your path you're working on that. I looked at Friday. I don't want to say too much more and give it away. But the idea of being able to say well I want particles just kind of Floating around in this area would be really cool when you hit the block with a dye and it changes the colors. It would create such a great Ambiance to be able to have like little exactly somewhere. It's like that. Would that would give me a reason to farm dragon's breath. Yeah, then you could sort of you could build and in places where you wouldn't want to build. Yeah, if you can have particles you can just walk through it. It doesn't affect anything. Now you got yeah, you could create folks and something like that. Yeah. Well, like you said you can really make an Ambience somewhere which is there will be awesome. I like that. I mean maybe they are light blocks to so maybe they give off level 15 light or something like that. I mean, I'm always up for more like blokes placing them in water would probably be a problem. So I think if you were to try to place a particle block and water the water would just kind of wash it out like it does redstone. Oh, okay. Well, you can make a change do something in water as well or maybe a different things for that. Yeah. What's an exciting? Yeah, Mom. I think I'd like to I mean, it's Fiction. It's such a waste of a dimension kinda at the moment rude. And because she already has another which is also almost an errand the kind Dimension, but I mean you could live there because she could make a nun portal sort of right next to where you want to be and then you always have a spawn point nearby, but I'd like to have something for the end to I mean if we're going to make it more interesting give me a spawn point. Yeah, so I can I can live there. I mean you can use everything you can have water you can bring mobs in there. So it's Actually, it has the same kind of mechanics as the Overworld except the bed explodes. And I mean I get a bet wouldn't work cause she don't have day and night but I mean, I want to have a spawn point in their being able to live there. I mean you're speaking it would have put like a custom portal to somewhere where your bed is. Like physically be able to say I want to World here would make it 20 times better than it is now. Yeah have to Cock Sucking through the main island to get back and forth. Yeah, well, you have to the occasional portal that brings you back to the main islands, but they are fairly random. I think you can't move them. So an ability to say I want a blue quote-unquote into Portal or whatever and I'll take me to the Overworld one of my beds located would be awesome. Yeah. I also thought maybe it could be cool to have because you have a lot of fun portals in the Overworld. Maybe you could make it so that each and portal goes to a different main island true. I mean, I don't necessarily eat. You have to have a dragon. I think that could be a bit sure wish again. Yeah, but yeah, I think if you have like main a few main islands, I think that could be interesting that creates more of a dynamic kind of thing in and already you could fly from one portal to another make maybe you could use it as over will travel that way angry, but I wouldn't work or sure wish Palm back at spawn more too bad. Yeah. I don't know, you know, but it would give a good. Reason for why there's so many in portals in the Overworld. Yeah. Yeah. I think that would also maybe help adding to sort of having that spawn point if you have different an island, so you have different places to go I guess. I agree with that and I long as that. I thought it could be cool to have some kind of connection with another dimension because you have the Nether and Overworld and then it's used for quick travel. Usually maybe you could make some kind of cool connection with a dimension as well with that and instead of just being a because now it's a sort of a separate Dimension use go there and go back in the snow real link to any other one. What kind of Dimension would it linked to? Well, I was thinking maybe the sky a dimension which which everyone is sort of talked about before and everything. What and does it sort of resemble space. So I think they could be a really nice link what kind of mob would live in this guy to mention how you can answer that. I want you to say it Bank. Alrighty, well, maybe a red dragon dragons Mojang. Where's my red dragon? I want to ride a red writable red dragon. There's my one but I would be cool to fly around through the end on the red dragon. It would be I mean, could you imagine so basically just take the end as it is now none of our improvements. Hmm instead of it being dark with the space themed you put like a daylight theme behind it and instead of in stone. It's like grass and regular stuff. on I mean, it's the exact same except opposite and that's the Sky Dimension, right? I mean, I feel like a Sky Dimension needs clothes. Oh, you would put cloud. Yeah, that's a cloud block my other idea to kind of make the end cooler was late with gravity. I think I mentioned this. Well, I like that but mmm, I don't know make it so every once while the whole double jump effect. You can get with a beacon. Is somewhere like because you have biomes in the end make certain biomes have the double jump effect. Maybe you could have particle blocks that cause the double jump effect. Something like that. Ooh, that could be really interesting. Yeah, and I said I want to say I agree of different biomes with like different gravity effects. That's it could be really until I want to say I've talked about that before but I wanted to reiterate it because that's something I say simple, but to me, it feels like it could be simple that really would just straight-up change the dynamic of the end. Yeah, and it would make it sort of its own Dimension. I just mentioned that it's kind of it's just overwhelming. It's but you can sleep in about you don't have day and night that way it would become its own sort of it would have something something special. Yeah, speaking of Overworld stuff. I'd like a food option from the end. I mean, I know we have the course fruit and you could eat it technically but it teleports you. So I would like its own fruit. And another now has its own food source. So yeah, I would like the end to have its own food source. I don't know what it could be. Let me eat in termites for once those suggesting something like that. I think they could be a good idea. I mean in most fun would be to create another sort of its own mob Mob set for the end. I guess if we have end Villages obviously there would be yeah. Yeah, I think that and definitely I mean, it's already filled with Anne Bowman. Which is sort of mean it's kind of an unknown then spam in there. It really is. So being able to add like a lot of different. Well, maybe not a lot but just a few different mobs or animals and villagers kind of resemblance thing. I think that could could do really well just to make it more interesting to yeah, another thought I had was treasure hunts. So we kind of have the treasure map from the sunken ships at all that stuff. Yeah Suze. So she's going nuts right now. Anyways, so we have the treasure hunt and sunken ships. I would love to have something like that in the end maybe like a temple or something. You can go find and maybe this is where you can find the super rare enchanted golden apple. What about having a dragon slayer and that's where you can find the red dragon as well red dragon guys. But yeah, so you can make like an end cave. Yeah, I agree. I mean we need something we need points of interest. Yeah, and that was my deal with the treasure hunt that it would be. Okay. I don't know anyone who doesn't like getting the treasure map and going and looking for the treasure. It's a fun little thing obviously after a while it gets kind of boring and no one. So many more but gets repetitive, right? Yeah, they're all sort of the same dish, right? So if you can get an end one, I think that would be a nice little touch that people might find enjoyable. Maybe. Yeah, I think so. I mean in general any variation, I think if you add more colors just just some different blocks of have its own grass. I mean mycelium could be a great one for that. Well, I said my Amendment first one because it's purple so it kind of It Blends in and to I would like a spot where Endermen don't spawn. Oh make like some non-spam dinner mints somewhere. Yeah. Yeah, that's another thing it just gets so then so repetitive all the same block and at all the same animals or mopes and then all the same plants and every once in a while you get a city, right? And in that City, there's the same mod we've seen over and over. Again, and then it is there's only one more been there pretty much which yeah says. Yeah. I mean we have these in cities with this floating pirate ship but you're going to try to tell me and in German or a shocker built those things. I don't think so and the Pirates. Yeah, I mean they could do something with those ships. I mean this might be like too heavy on the game. But I mean, what about nothing them fly around in that has some I don't know little flying pirate ships with like pirate attacks or make the ships themselves just random more random like so as of right now, you have to find it in city and you have to hope that in city has a pirate ship. Hmm. If it doesn't you don't get an Electra. Well, the city is missing the ship. Whereas the ship have it randomly spread out throughout the end. Just have a random ship there. I mean ever makes sense. It's a transportation device have it ever be away from the city exactly gives you more chances to getting lighter and it adds even just the littlest bit of story to the game. In November Dutch was joined by apne in episode 23 discussing Redstone and improvements. They'd like to see would you like to see Redstone up walls and sticky Redstone Wireless Redstone. The possibilities are endless, but do they make sense in the game? A lot of people said Bluestone, so I want to read off the names daddy through 260 mentioned blue stone or Cobalt. Also mentioned Redstone up walls, which I'm a hundred percent for if the new like what we're calling in Redstone or another Redstone or Bluestone could travel vertically on walls. That would give it a new function. Yeah. So yeah, I really like to read still doesn't have but this one has a interesting the idea that I had was just to have like sticky Redstone. So you mix red stone with slime. I'm and become sticky and kind of a drawback of that was that it could since its kind of diluted Redstone the power and lowers by to every block instead of rolling by one. So it's kind of a drawback like yeah bit more something more balanced. You want to have vertical Redstone you have to deal with that, but it's going to have instant power transmission. Yep, I like that. I like me to give you her take. Yeah, but you're never having Bluestone is who's don't get the What walls but it doesn't mix with redstone directly. That's technical this. Well, you can be very cool if done right? Yeah. Sorry. I'm getting like all this flip in my throat from waking up still Jimbo also mentioned a reliable way to have wireless Redstone. I Lie, like this idea if say you craft two blocks or craft a certain block and within I don't know a 15-block radius if that block gets powered the same block that you have say you have like five dispensers and you power one dispenser. And the three of the other dispensers are within a 15-block radius. Those three would also get powered. That's going to do it for today. Everyone. There is so many more discussions.
