Exploring Minecraft 1.7 Snapshot: New Biomes, Fishing, and More!

Hello my name is matt and my name is jordan and welcome to the minecraft snapshot 13w 36a which is the first 1.7 snapshot and oh there’s a ton of cool stuff in this um it’s pretty awesome it is in it yeah so like what you can see

Here is a load of loads of fancy glass finally which is what we’ve been waiting for for ages he’s being like map builders and things like that yeah much better he’s so good to join with the best bits as well jared flower wow wait wait give me a second there

So flower pot i think you can put all of them into flower pots well you should be able to anyway ah oh okay the big ones the big ones can’t that’s a bit yeah i know it’s so good oh that looks awesome so yeah a lot of um these all as

Far as i can tell cosmetic like they don’t do anything one thing to note is that the original red flower has been replaced with this one which you know no biggie it’s a very nice the same one i know you can barely tell and also as well

This one at the very end the dandelion or the no sunflower even better it always faces east so you know where the sun rises so you can always tell which type so it’s just a way of being able to tell which direction you’re it’s like a protection

That’s facing east so this way it’s north and there’s not you know you’d have to press f3 so no no need for a technical way of doing it um the next thing i found was this new block which is the hardened ice block or the packed ice block um

It’s opaque no you can’t see through each other no look see i forgot what the word opaque was but yeah it’s basically the same texture except it’s opaque and from what i can tell the main difference is is that it doesn’t melt which is good so now there’s an ice

Block which doesn’t melt and i’ll take it you can still slide about and it’s exactly the same everything it just doesn’t melt um actually yeah slide around it just doesn’t melt so this can be used in like yeah definitely and i’m assuming the way you make it

Will be like loads of ice at once or something yes that’s what i’ve looked shall we may as well it’s a snapshot review it’s either four in a circle nope or okay maybe there’s another recipe at all okay and then another block called it’s not gonna name yet but it’s called podzol if

You see there tile.podzold.name what would that be for like it’s for a new biome and i think the bio might be here so we’re going to go look for it in a second as well first of all the new and improved swamp biome that’s caught on fire which is a bit disappointing

It’s always got lava in it now does it all i don’t know i think i might just be fluke but it looks cool but the main thing to note is that um it’s got a different shade of grass now it’s not the dark green anymore it’s actually two

Different shades this is actually just one biome by the look of it it’s still swampland either side of it so that’s quite nice and it transitions better into other biomes as well and also as well around the around the edges it’s more broken up it feels more like a

Swamp when you’re in it it it works really well with the blue flowers and stuff like that as well so this is a really nice biome but this was one of the biomes that was already in the game if you come over here this is a brand new this is called the

Roofed forest that’s impressive we did something once we did a map where there was a yeah it’s like it was like the twilight yeah twilight zone now it’s got a giant it’s got giant mushrooms in it and the main point of this biome as jeb said is that even in

The daytime it’s still pretty dark so this is going to be a dangerous biome in the daytime as well so you know victories hard to walk around yeah exactly yes that’s pretty cool this feels like a magical sort of fairy one yeah it does done and the grass is a

Dark shade of the normal is darker than normal and it looks pretty cool as well yeah it does so coming over here these things are big like if it’s just loading up yeah yeah i can see these biomes are actually really big but there are loads of other biomes i’ve

Not seen yet so what i’ll probably do is i’ll because the main point of this snapshot is of course the biomes it’s massive what the hell it’s pretty cool actually it looks like an amazon it’s got the river going through it’s pretty cool the river cuts

Through it yeah and i flew past a um a mountain bike and actually is a mountain bomb that’s properly good okay so we’re just gonna cut the video there for a second because basically that was about five minutes five or six minutes it was just flying forwards looking for fancy volumes and we

Couldn’t find any except for ones that we’d already shown um the biomes are out lots of show though yeah but there is more to show which we just remembered and that’s there’s a brand new options menu whoopty do but it’s pretty good buy lots of there’s

Quite a lot of changes to it so the ffv and the difficulty just at the top so that’s nice and simple um the music and sounds now before it was just music and sound you could toggle both now there’s a whole load of stuff there’s the master volume which just does everything then

There’s music you can now turn down weather so you can just mute the range oh thank god i know i know you can mute enemy monsters and you can mute friendly monsters or animals which are good so you can like just mute cows what keep zombies and players like other

People running around their circles yeah yeah jukebox and no blocks just those blocks fairly self-explanatory and blocks an environment and i’m assuming that’s breaking blocks and stuff so like we could have that up we can get rid of that so you know everything else makes sounds however punching out blocks

Which is great for building right you know hate hearing that noise i usually just have it completely silent when we build but yeah yeah um is it me or is it like the layout a lot clearer there as well yeah it is it’s more refined isn’t it like there’s a big

There’s not a big gap on the last one wasn’t it exactly yeah and then the video settings that’s pretty much how it used to be that was the old options menu pretty much language super settings snooper settings oh that’s been there for ages basically it’s in the book a bug

Report okay resource packs on the other hand have changed quite a bit so yeah the you can have more than one resource pack on at once so say if i wanted to add on the ocd park um i don’t know and you can like choose up

And down and which one goes like yeah and like the order of preference like i’m assuming what it’ll be is if the top one’s missing textures it’ll take ones off the second one and stuff like that and you can change the order of preference using these little arrows

Here it’s quite nice really it’s quite a simple way of doing it but if you want to have one selected you put that on there and it overwrites default and basically you can’t go with the default so if the textbox missing textures it’ll put default there instead so yeah that’s pretty cool

Um i don’t really think there’s needed the super secret settings as well yeah my that’s not controls however you can now keybind absolutely everything and even better you can keep you can keybind them to like extra buttons on your mouse as that button you know this is just for um mlg

Pros and all that yeah yeah exactly yeah take minecraft ultra seriously go to mlg games so yeah and that’s pretty much what that is and you and it can support extra mouse buttons now which you couldn’t do before mouse sensitivity i’m not gonna mess with that

Invert mouse those weird people who do i know i don’t understand and it actually supports touchscreen touchscreen that’s awesome oh it’s pretty cool that’s it yeah yeah yeah and then yeah that’s pretty much the new option screen something else that’s new to this snapshot is um dinner bone reworked a lot of fishing

Um now i don’t think everything’s in here yet but basically he said there’s going to be three categories of things that you can fish up there’s going to be fish there’s going to be oh yeah and there’s going to be treasures yeah yeah i read that as well as that tweet before

I i read that and i just didn’t come comprehend it and i was like what the hell was he talking about yeah that makes sense yeah yeah that makes sense now um oh yeah that picture hopefully that means the fish is now fishing is now worth time and actually

Yeah okay so i’m assuming the joint will be like leather boots and stuff like that they’ll be able to fish which is pretty cool but um the cool thing is all the new fish so despite the fact these all are actual fish the fish is still called a fish so

You know raw fish and cooked fish there’s no particular fish it’s just a fish then there’s raw salmon and cooked salmon i’m assuming they’ll have similar versions yeah all food eating stuff however there’s also clown fish and puffer fish now puffer fish is is poisonous but dinner bone said in a tweet um

Like hinting pretty strongly that that will be able to make a water breathing potion in fact shall we see if there’s a new potion in there tall water breathing anywhere yeah there you go so there you go um if there’s any new other new ones but yeah splash potion of water

Breathing they’ll be crafted they’ll be made brewed from a puffer fish and then i’m assuming the clown fish will do something else yeah because they they don’t have raw versions of themselves yeah probably not yet implemented yet but you know yeah first snapshot is what we’d expect you can also get fishing rod

Enchantments now there’s look of the sea now i’m not sure that’ll be i’m assuming that i’m gonna guess it’s more treasures yeah more treasures and more fish less junk that’s what look at the sea is and there’s also law which i’m assuming it just it bobs faster you know you’d have

To wait as long and i’m assuming that’s what laura is and those yeah those by the look of it are the only two um champions for because that’s just the the standard ones which is pretty awesome there’s quite a lot in this uh snapshot oh yeah for the first snapshot

As well i’m pretty excited to see what the rest of the update is going to be yeah so yeah anyway on to the next section of the video which is where we realized we interrupted the first part of the video and we had to get in after

It’s all a mess but hopefully the editing hides that yeah okay so after looking around we couldn’t find a canyon biome but you can probably look at pictures online so we’re going to wrap it up here with george fit new favorite biome amazing the savannah bio yay it’s my girlfriend’s name yeah yeah

It’s a pretty cool bio i’m gonna go live in it it actually looks really nice it does done it is pretty damn nice love those trees it’s a warm biome it’s next to deserts and stuff but we won’t go into all that um this is the first 1.7 snapshot yeah

It’s quite a lot in it in this video guys you
