CaptainSparklez – Everything We Know About Minecraft 1.21

Hello everybody today was Minecraft live day and it was a happy day full of lots of very happy people who are all very happy to be watching in attendance on the live stream as is tradition during Minecraft live they revealed some of the stuff coming to 1.21 it wasn’t a ton cuz

They’re wanting to stick to the strategy of under promising and overd delivering but there’s some cool stuff and one absolutely massive new block so they said they were going for more of an adventury kind of update this time around and I was like all right this is

It the end update it’s finally happening and then it it didn’t materialize but I’m holding out hope that maybe the end update is just part of what they haven’t announced so far but the first thing they showed is something called a trial room not to be confused with the

Motorbike riding game that I’ve played or actually I should say the trial rooms are a component of the greater structure which is called a trial chamber and I guess these just randomly generate Underground now you can mine into them I don’t know the frequency it’s got to be

One in the stronghold right cuz nobody randomly mines into strongholds I mean someone’s done it but it doesn’t happen very often and you have a main Corridor is what they said and then that leads off into various branching rooms it’s just like a big dungeon with different

Challenges and there’s loot to be had as well as a new type of spawner it’s like a vault Hunters kind of Ambush spawner if anyone’s played Vault Hunters before one of the big takeaways of all this is just a whole bunch of new blocks being added to the game there are these tough

Bricks that almost look like they have 3D mapping to them but I don’t expect that they do and then there’s a bunch of new different variations of copper there are copper doors copper trap doors there’s copper grates like industrial walkway flooring that are in these things there’s also these copper bulbs

Which are a copper light source that as it oxidizes and is left out gradually emits less and less light with each oxidation state so when you discover one of these trial Chambers you can navigate through it and it’ll be pretty dim but then you can take your Axe and you can

Scrape some of that oxidation off of the copper bulbs and it’ll grow a little bit brighter for you or you can just customize exactly how much light you want wax it if you’re making it yourself and it’s just kind of a cool customizable light source so as you

Branch off from the main Corridor it looks like you can find Supply chests which they didn’t go into any specifics as to what you can find that’s probably still in development but also you can find I don’t know if you call them challenge rooms that have a a trial

Spawner which is a new kind of spawner where as you approach it it will spawn a fixed amount of a certain mob and it seemed like the type of mob it was going to spawn is marked off by some blocks surrounding the spawners so in the case

Of the the video that they showed it was Strays so they had some ice blocks around the spawner and when they approached it it spawns an amount of mobs that’s actually based upon the number of players so single player it’ll be a certain amount and then as you add

More and more in a server it’ll actually spawn I don’t know if it’s the exact same amount like per player each time and then once you defeat all the mobs you get a reward it was emeralds and diamonds in the video they showed which is a pretty cool reward and then it

Shows a little smoking effect to show it’s on cool down and you can come back later and you can do it again which seems like something that might be able to uh be farmed for emeralds and diamonds or whatever other resources they’re going to have in these things I

Don’t know if they’re going to go up to like would there be a a ravager trial spawner like some super gnarly hard challenges and because of this I was like is this going to be you know you’re stuck in adventure mode or something like that when you enter one of these

Places so that you can’t break in place blocks and you kind of have to just approach it headon like a map or something but it doesn’t seem to be the case so you could figure out a way to just Farm you know Auto destroy whatever mob spawns each time you approach this

Thing presumably unless like it detects there has to be a certain amount of flooring for the mobs to be able to spawn I don’t know how it works but it just seems like it could be a good way to get some uh diamonds and emeralds on repeat potentially along with this they

Unveiled a new mob not part of the mob vote this one is a hostile mob it’s called a breeze kind of like the blazes Overworld cousin it reminds me a lot of the blizz which is in tons of mod packs and I just forget what actual mod it

Comes from directly but this guy he’s like a windy boy and he shoots out a projectile which it can hurt you if it hits you but the projectile seems to have an AOE where if it interacts with any like Redstone related things it will like it’ll turn on the lights if it hits

It it will open or close trap doors in the area so there could be inside of these challenge rooms in the trial Chambers like a pitfall trap in the floor and the projectile attack like even if it doesn’t directly hit you and damage you the AOE also does a knockback

Like like it’s a it’s a breeze like blowing you away so it could hit next to you open up the trap doors next to you and blow you into the open trap doors great so that’s all they showed for now of the trial chamber I don’t

Know if there will be some new things to discover as they implement it I do think it would be cool if there was some way to discourage breaking and placing blocks but I don’t know how feasible that is you know it wouldn’t be very Minecraft to them to set you into

Adventure Mode I just don’t think they’d ever do that but it’s cool I’d just like to also see it implemented with an end variation you know okay so anyway beyond the trial chamber they showed this Village and I don’t know if this Village was just made to resemble I don’t know a

Place that people made on a server or if they’re actually updating the way Villages look because it was very like standard Village looking but with some tweaks and adding in some of the copper trap doors that are being implemented in some of the copper grapes and just tweaking the buildings and stuff but

They didn’t really acknowledge it I’m leaning towards it’s probably just a set they built for the video but if they’re doing some sprucing up of some of the village structures it could be cool but it wasn’t really the main focus of that segment the main focus of that segment

Was the crafter which is something that never in a million years would I have thought would actually get added into vanilla Minecraft automated crafting oh my God so they start off by showing that with the crafter it’s like you could put in a stack of each individual item slot

In a crafting recipe and then you could put a button on it and then every time you hit the button it would pop out the resultant item until a particular slot of the crafting recipe runs out of a resource I’m like okay that’s pretty cool it’s kind of convenient I could

Just have a particular item on demand as long as I have items in the crafting grid inside of the crafter and it actually maintains that inventory but they’re they’re not going to do a thing where you can automatically load items into particular slots like they would

Never oh my God they they would they would actually allow you to do this so yes it’s like you can actually block out different squares autoload items into the recipe and have them automatically either pop out or feed into a Hopper or something like that and it’s like actually automated crafting but vanilla

Now obviously this is like maybe slightly less significant in vanilla than like a mod pack where you might have a 50 layer recursive recipe that you’re trying to mass produce or something like that but regardless like I can’t even imagine what people are going to be able to create with this

Like I I literally I don’t know people are going to surprise me with what they’re able to make and I’m like that’s actually wild how did you do this how did you come up with this as an idea but also just for the lay person having

Things that could feed in from a farm and then craft with something else and then smelt it just it’s like you could have this increased level of processing going on that I wouldn’t have envisioned coming to vanilla so I mean that’s it’s probably one of the biggest things to be

Added to the game in a very very long time so that I mean that that for me them showing that I was like oh okay yeah that’s the update you know what whatever else happens you you did good you did good with that one that’s pretty awesome which Speaking

Of we we lead to the Mob vote next because I was like you know what if there was any you know people being upset about the mob boo which there was definitely some of I’m like you know what they but they put the crafter in man that’s really cool so the armadillo

It won the mob vote which uh actually the poll on my channel we had 21,000 votes which I thought would be a really good sample size it was actually very off and and we’re thinking maybe it’s because the first option was the crab and maybe people just clicked crab

Because they wanted to see the results of the poll which then skewed the result of the poll so the armadillo won actually by quite a big margin and that means wool farmer will be coming to Minecraft 1.21 on top of the armadillo but mostly wool farmer coming to 1.21

We’ll see how well it works how durable it is how much protection it gives the Wolves hopefully they stay alive and nothing bad happens to them so it doesn’t just turn into they still exist in my base sitting they just now do it with armor but that basically summed it

Up for what we now know is coming to Minecraft 1.21 they’re going to unveil new features as the snapshots go I think it’s snapshot season they should be coming out starting very very soon and I look forward to it so make sure to subscribe and stay tuned for the

Snapshot content and like the video and that’s it for now I’ll see you later
