💙Minecraft 1.17 CAVE UPDATE REACTION! Minecraft Live 2020

What’s up another attacks welcome back to the channel i just finished live streaming over on twitch where i reacted to my crafts a brand new cave update announcement they’re riding so much into this game it it feels like a brand new game it’s so cool if you missed the live

Stream i figured i would share my reaction to this update with you guys on youtube so let me know in the comments what your favorite part about this update is and yeah let’s get into it Hello and welcome to minecraft live 2020. i’m lydia winters your host and chief storyteller for mojang studios we’re coming to you live from stockholm sweden the birthplace of minecraft today we’re kicking things off with the announcement of the we’re gonna tell you right now tell me right now

I want to know right now so okay the next update is the update that you know that so many of you and well so many of us as well has been wanting for such a long time it’s the caves and cliffs update caves oh i’ve been wanting cave updates for years

To tell everyone that seriously like i am so excited about this i mean even before i joined merchants like always thinking about like when is the cave update gonna come and this this is it but it’s also got the cliffs as well it’s got the mountains like this is such

A big update and i’m so excited understandable new orleans would be amazing and like some kind of food that you can do we can work together with the community to make this and like as epic update as possible we have added new cave biomes and one of them is the lush caves

Lush caves show me what is this oh there’s flowers in that tree what is that oh we’re going down stop i’m gonna pee oh stop it oh my god stop there’s plants oh look at the flower Stop this is so cute so i don’t know if you saw but there was this new tree that was actually above on the overworld and this is called an azalea tree so it’s a unique type of tree that you’ll be it will be easy to spot for players and if you actually

Find this and start going down its roots you will find a lush cave there so this is another part of adding strategy to mining where you know there are certain landmarks which will allow you to understand what that is so cool oh the lush caves have a real glow to

Them from one of the plants yes so in there there are vines in the plant in the lush caves and they have glow berries on them and these are actually like no berries you can also pick them and eat them if you want to you can eat them

Stop freaking out you can eat the berries drip leaf plants i literally just asked you you could actually see that they can come in like water they grow quite tall but they have like a little plant on the top that you can actually hop onto so the idea of the

Mechanic behind it is that the leaf will actually tilt down when you stand on it too long so this will actually make you fall through however after a few seconds it’ll come back up so it’s kind of this like platforming block that allows you to just you know continue platforming

Over and over again which i hope is really exciting for you know content creators making maps yeah yeah you can build like your own platforming levels and then they will repair themselves that’s kind of neat it’s it’s so beautiful in there and there’s there’s actually a model yeah a new parkour thing

Yeah so as you can see here i mean this is drastically different to what caves used to look like and there’s definitely still the old style of caves but we wanted to make sure that there was much more variety in the sort of caves and the shapes and the sizes

And even here you can see that there’s some water underground yes so we actually added something we call local water levels so in one cave you can might find like a cave lake and another okay might not have that one and this also means that we get naturally

Waterfalls which is so pretty and it also kind of gives like new ways to traverse oh my god you can actually go cave rafting yeah so you’ll see in a bit that our player here will actually use a boat to raft and that is just such an exciting opportunity to be able to

Traverse the caves in a very different way than you used to yeah we actually we were play testing and then one of the days like look at this it’s so fun and all of us you started to go with the boat on the waterfall it was a lot of fun

So another thing to note here is that you could see that a lot of the oars were actually glowing uh this is just for preview purposes oars aren’t gonna glow now uh it’s just forget the outside world yeah i’m gonna be a cave dweller now you can see the shapes of the cave

Very nice and you have another another new cave biome to show us whenever i think about the idea of a cave update the the image of stalagmites and stalactites comes into my shut up um but adding these are pretty difficult you know it’s a very unique shape that

Minecraft isn’t really accustomed to but i think the way that the artists put it into minecraft works quite well and of course there’s some mechanics surrounding this so you can see that uh someone destroyed the block up the top and so the drip stone fell down do they kill zombies unfortunately for this

Zombie here if you fall on the strip stones you look at that dude this is like the best update there’s another this is amazing mechanic in the drip stone caves yes so maybe so in the video that like from the stalactites you could see that it was

Like dripping water it’s actually if you put the cauldron under a stalactite it will fill up with water so it’s renewable renewable water how do you remember which is stalactite tights and black mites and you have something really amazing in this update for the sort of redstone engineers out there

So we’ve actually been thinking about this redstone block that lives in the deep dark a new biome at the deepest depths of the world we’re not going to talk about this biome too much today but we are going to show some of the blocks and maybe later a mob that comes from it

So if we look at the video we can actually see that there it’s basically this growth and this is called the skulk blocks and one of the blocks is called the skulk sensor this is the new redstone block as you can see when you place or

Destroy a block or if you have footsteps it’ll actually detect the vibrations around and then emit a redstone signal well we had a bit of a happy accident with this because we realized that we get wireless redstone thanks to the skulk sensor yes so and we didn’t even plan to add it

But then when we started play testing oh my god that’s actually really exciting and well your king has built so many cool things with that yeah you’re really looking for community i need to learn how to make sure this like feels great for everyone that’s fair and now we we said there’s another

Mob coming later but i think it’s time for a new mob coming to the caves and cliffs update and this is a very scary mob scary like the deepest of the underground in the deep dark i don’t know and this is a very dark place and

The cool thing is that this mob is very well adapted to the environment so it actually it can’t see anything so it’s the first blind mob in minecraft and that’s very interesting because it gives such interesting mechanics since that’s scary it will react to vibrations yes like the skulk sensor block

So if you’re actually very careful when you walk around in the deep dark you might upset that mob Why is the light flickering Why are there candles what those candles What what what little ears why is its chest glowing it’s running it’s running it’s a very different mob i’m really excited for this because not only is it trying to be scary it’s you know we had to keep a balance to it it was very challenging to design a mob like this um

Another thing that’s really important to note is in that video i was wearing full nether eye armor so it’s very powerful you definitely want to watch out yeah would have been cool another i did that much gameplay because wow like ghosts goats they’re both mischievous and adorable

At the same time as you can see they jump they live on the mountains and if you aren’t careful they might knock you off they also have excellent jumping skills that cow just died we’ll also get better mountain generation with spectacular and more dramatic mountains with height dependent

Generation that means things like tree lines and mountain tops that will be more challenging with lots of snow and ice so in this update you’ve been really looking at like filling out the caves even more yes so there are even more things to show and in

The things we showed so far it’s a lot about like improving the journey underground but of course we also want to add like new things to find like new resources and one of them are crystals Do they make these noises Oh my god beautiful yes that the moment you turn the corner and you see that glowing thing that’s so it’s just it’s incredible i’m going to cry in the crystal geode it’s like mystical so magical so when you find them it’s really gonna be it’s purple like magical

It’s beautiful and you know when you walk on the crystals you hear these sounds so from those crystal plants you get crystal charged items and you can actually use them to craft the telescope what what what yo can they add more stars to the game

So they can look at stars so yes you use the crystal charts to craft them but you also need something more and that’s also a new thing that we added what is it copper okay oh shoot you know if you place a a copper block it will first be orange but after a

While a pretty long time it will turn green and it’s something ah i think it’s so cool because it actually adds history to minecraft because for example if you have a copper the game will change colors like real life then you can see on like a house and like oh the roof

Turned all green and then you know that that house has been there for a really long time that’s cool oh look that’s cool i actually prefer that i prefer the old look of copper it’s so pretty lightning rod like for your roof what that is very useful for all the wool roofs

That’s actually pretty smart players already have a lot of trouble with their inventory of items but you have an idea for that yes are they going to update inventory space we keep adding new blocks and new items all the times and that will create a bit of an inventory problem and we’re

Aware of that and we’ve actually been thinking quite a lot how we can solve it but if they add backpacks i’m leaving in we actually have an item in this update that will be really helpful and it’s the bundles bundles what’s a bundle is that a backpack oh it’s like a pouch

How much can you store in there you can just drag and drop it in oh beautiful oh my god i wonder if you can can you oh what the heck and it shows you what’s in there three of them i wonder if you can dye them to make them different colors it’s

Really going to be cool can we dye that if your friend that’s the best i want blue and purple this new mob uh will be the cutest predator ever existed in minecraft what’s this what’s this this update is incredible like people have been waiting for this for so long are they adding an

Actual model looking thingy i don’t know how to say it is that what that was really what was that pink please think about all of the different yes so we’re actually adding a new system called the archaeology system what uh in this system you’re very adding so many things excavation sites

All throughout your world you can make this new tool called the brush that is gonna uncover the mysteries of all these dig sites clear away some of the rubble that may have collapsed in those structures and sometimes you might even find something shiny inside them but

And this is important if you are not careful enough like in real life you can destroy that artifact and when that artifact is gone oh that artifact and all this they broke the diamond block forever wait what is going on there’s there’s a lot happening try to connect what is this

And you can create that wherever however you like you can create your own stories or try to guess pottery yeah it’s also so fun to be very creative with these new pots because you can put the shards like in any way you want exactly and when you’re you’re pleased

With your creation you can fire them up and you have your own painted clay pot it’s pretty it feels very sad but we’re almost out of time but we’ve been hinting at a new mob like over the course of the show like three or four tell me what it is

Are you gonna tell us about it now now we’re gonna tell you it’s the cutest predator you will ever meet what is that it is show it to me oh my god you can catch him in a bucket there’s only one sound i can make after seeing

You can put him in a bucket when we add a new mop to minecraft i think i’m going to die i think i might die there’s i don’t have purpose too many cool i think i’m going to die and the community decided on a new mob that will enter the game so

Which one i think is split into the honors today it’s the glow squad the glove squid wow honestly it’s cute i’m not mad about it hold on we need to rewind This that that’s a bush do you think it’s a bush or do you think it’s a tree sapling but wait there’s these two do you see the little stick on the no they’re definitely bushes there’s there’s bushes i am obsessed this was a great choice this was a great choice i’m so excited

We’re gonna have to start a new series in the summer when this comes out it’s gonna be beautiful Bye
