Hey guys it’s adam aka swinging bird and welcome back again for this week’s snapshot this is 12w 41a for thursday october 11th and uh we’ve got only a few new features one major major feature the anvil which i’ll go into in a sec but uh we’re getting closer to halloween so i’m Surprised we’re even getting new features at all but before i go into the anvil i am going to uh go into all the little bits real quick so first off breeding now gives you experience as you can see when i breed these two guys listen there we go got a little bit experience When that puppy came out maybe i’ll die his little collar if i can get him there we go getting a little purple puppy got a nice rainbow going and i’ll sit these guys so they don’t follow me so that’s just a cool little perk uh one thing That’s also cool is that an f3 mode there’s a nice bat flying around if you look all the way to the left under the coordinates you can see now it shows i’m facing north east south and west it’ll actually show you which direction you’re facing if you don’t want to judge by the Sun which is also kind of cool in the options there’s also now instead of chat settings it’s labeled multiplayer settings and the only multiplayer setting so far is just to turn a cape on and off if you have a minecon cape or what have you but that’s Still cool that they’re going to add that type of stuff so if you don’t want to have an ostentatious cape on then you can have that they’ve improved the beacon so that is in their words less intrusive it just seems like it works a little better and Uh isn’t dim like we had problems with in the last snapshot uh level up sounds that annoying level up sound that no one seemed to like that now only plays on every five levels so it’s actually not as loud either so that’s nice they tone that down a lot And it’s only every five levels so that’s good uh nbt tags i talked about those last week map makers can actually use those to customize creepers to shorten their fuse or lengthen their fuse and how big their blast radius is so that is uh going to be Trouble for map maker or for anyone playing any adventure maps with cruel map makers so let’s move on to the anvil i just steamrolled through all those you guys probably want to see about this now this is the anvil right here i was a little disappointed on the model Because after seeing the pixelmon anvil which is really cool it doesn’t quite look as good but it’s actually grown on me a lot now the anvil is used for repairing and now naming items so you can put an item in here like i will put my leather tunic in here and we will Call it like the uh we have to actually backspace each one you can’t hold it the tunic of brownness there we go so now it costs 15 levels just to do the name but if you want to enchant and name stuff uh you have to do That you or you it’ll cost a lot a bit more and the name is only for the first time or after you repair it so if i do this again i cannot actually rename it here but i’m going to test out now uh we would have to enchant these really quick To show you but this the iron the uh excuse me the anvil is actually mainly for keeping enchantment so we got efficient c2 unbreaking two on this one and efficiency two on this one now if i combine these together they will keep their enchantments and if we’re lucky we will Get something cooler so let’s just call this goldie hawn and then there we go now so remember it was efficiency 2 on both now we actually have efficiency 3 and it repaired it so this is a way to keep our enchantments and repair our enchanted equipment but Also improve them each time but the more you do it now if i put it in again and let’s say i grab another gold pickaxe here and try to do it let’s see if it’ll let me do this now if i throw one in and there again it actually costs more levels to Do so each time it will keep costing more and more levels but it caps at 39 but this is a good level sink for people that uh you know they have levels to burn they want to name their stuff i named it the sword excalibur of course But you can name pretty much anything in here like people were naming potatoes and glados and stuff like that so that’s that’s all pretty cool stuff uh the anvil actually has another use so i forgot to mention this but the durability the anvil the more you use it the more It will degrade and if you look there’s the anvil the slightly damaged anvil and the very damaged anvil so after a while it will break now how do you craft an anvil i can show you here you just take six of these iron blocks and then you’re going To need one iron and if i throw down a crafting table here i can show you the pattern it’s pretty simple but it is an investment of 55 iron and a lot of people are probably going to be doing this not just for the repairing but because anvil has a unique quality which I can show you here fairly easily if i plop it down on something let’s just do it on the tree here and if i break the blocks underneath anvils actually fall this was suggested to dinner bone on twitter and you can actually use these as traps so after the initial block fall For every block it falls after that it does 1.5 damage to the player so if you have armor you can dampen that a bit but i’ve set up a little thing here i’m going to throw a couple of the new witches at the bottom and we’re just Going to drop these anvils on them with my little piston trap here and you can see just how devastating these are so let’s do this and drop these anvils there they go like that and bam just destroyed those witches so uh actually they still dropped their Stuff so i wonder if it counted as me killing them if you die by anvil which i could set up here if you guys want to see for the end uh it actually has a unique death message so i will set that up here um but yeah Anvils i can see people using them for traps a lot and it’s going to be pretty cool like this is going to be another alternative to smothering people and gravel and stuff now the anvils don’t actually smother you they do initial damage and you can get out of them Because you have to break them with picks so that would be too cheap if you could be smothered under them and couldn’t get out they have some good design qualities too you can make them into kind of pillars they did a couple designs they’re kind of good for balconies here it looks like A more kind of ornate balcony there and down here was one that i thought was pretty cool is like how docks have areas to tie up your boats that’s kind of what those look like to me so yeah the anvils have a lot of qualities i’m actually Going to show you uh this over here in a second i have a separate clip but i have figured out with the help of reddit to launch the anvils because right now you can’t push them with pistons because dinnerbone wants to avoid duping glitches but there is a way to launch Them and i’ll show you in just a sec i think that is mostly all there is to this update here before we shoot the launching but one last thing if you hold f3 and you push push h you can see the durability and you can see my sword is Actually taking a bit of durability that’s the official durability number of diamond swords 1561 and i can look at like the durability of other stuff see how low the durability is for goldie hawn over here but that’s a useful way in game that you can actually see the durability of your Stuff it’s just f3 plus h to get all that stuff and that is um pretty much it so i will just cut here and we’ll go show the anvil launching cannon all right you can’t push anvils with pistons but you can have them fall so we’re going to use this nice little Design i found on reddit and we’re going to try to launch this anvil and see if we can get it to go here there goes bam let’s see if we can find it it flew pretty far and uh it’s hard to aim these things so I doubt this would be a viable weapon it has to really hit you directly i believe to actually do any of the damage but anvils are still pretty deadly nonetheless i do not unless it fell down here i don’t see it anywhere yeah not sure where it went it might have Glitched through some blocks or something since it was flying but that’s still pretty cool i’ll do one more for you guys okay thanks again to uh scarab beetle 101 on reddit this is a pretty simple design it’s four and then five repeaters and you just space them as long as they go and It will perfectly drop the anvil when the tnt detonates let’s watch this one more time there it goes pretty awesome all right thanks for watching guys leave a like if you enjoyed this i’ve got a few other videos i can just mention real quick i put up another minecraft theater Today is the legend of sir drudgery the bravest of nights and if you want to check that out uh it’s it’s something i worked on for a long time and i think it turned out pretty funny just a little snippet drudgery was raised by wild cats If you can believe it and uh also i’m playing resident evil with zach scott and ashley scott and that has been really fun too so check that out if you have the time and you’re bored you know whatever it’s a lot of fun so thanks for watching guys i really appreciate you Guys tuning in every week and i will see you next time goodbye goodbye guys you Video Information
