Alrights what’s going on dudes and welcome to an overview of Minecraft version 1.5 also commonly referred to as the redstone updates in order to mention as many of the new features as I can in a single video I have to remain fairly concise but if you want any additional Info on any of the things mentioned here you can check the description to find links to all the videos I made on the weekly snapshots released between one point four and one point five which touches on everything with more detail since this is the redstone update we’ll Start off with things that a redstone related the new redstone storage block is made in the same fashion as diamonds iron and gold storage blocks and behave similarly to an always-on redstone torch but in block form because it can be moved by Pistons it can greatly reduce the size of certain circuits the Comparator is a block that can have many applications but there are three primary functions one it can be used to detect the presence of items in a container and if there are items in its output a signal proportional to the amount 2 it can be used to compare the strength of Up to 3 signals and repeat the main input signal if it is greater than or equal to the next greatest and or 3 it can output signal equal in strength to the main input minus the largest side input which can be useful for inverting signal strength additionally if fed by a Loaded jukebox it will output a signal equal to the disk number and if fed by a command block it will output a signal if the command was run successfully the daylight detector is a block that outputs a redstone signal with a strength that varies directly with the intensity of the daylight the signal Strength peaks at noon and reaches 0 for a few minutes each night by combining this with a comparator and subtraction mode it can be transformed into a moonlight detector trap chests have all the same capabilities as a regular chest but will also output a redstone signal when opened this simplifies the creation Of traps that involve chests as rather than having to rely on a system to detect block update the chest just takes care of everything for you iron and gold weighted pressure plates allow for the output of a signal that’s proportional to the amount of blocks resting upon it rather than just two States on or off dropping blocks onto the pressure plate will increase the output signal strength one meter at a time gold pressure plates are affected more readily by smaller amounts of blocks where as iron pressure plates require significant amounts of blocks to influence signal strength dispensers can now dispense prime TNT Apply bonemeal to an adjacent crop and fire by placing flint and steel inside they can also be placed facing up or down allowing for the dispensing of items from the floor and ceiling droppers are a new block that work in a similar fashion to dispensers in most cases but vary when dispensing certain Items while dispensers can dispense certain objects as entities arrows fire charges TNT being some of them the dropper will always dispense the object in item form it also possesses the added functionality of being able to pass objects into an adjacent container block hopper blocks allow for the creation of Automated item transport systems a hopper can be fed by another hopper a chest or even a player dropping an item into the top from there it will continue to feed items along into any containers next to or below it unless it’s frozen with a redstone signal it can’t pass Items upwards there are also two new minecart variations one with TNT and one with a hopper hopper carts function in the same way as hopper blocks but have the ability to move along tracks and collect items from containers above placing minecart tracks on top of hopper blocks will allow for the withdrawal of Items from a hopper cart when it passes over TNT mine carts can be set off using the new activator rail the activator rail must itself be activated by a redstone signal so the easiest way to accomplish this is by placing detector rails on either side of it if the cart Derails at a very high speed it will detonate immediately otherwise it will experience the same delay as regular TNT blast radius increases with the speed at which the card is traveling and the explosion will not destroy rails or they’re supporting blocks so that just about sums it up for the new redstone Related stuff but there’s plenty more to go over so let’s move along to other block changes and additions nether quartz is a new or that can be found in you guessed it the nether and can be used to craft quartz blocks which themselves can be crafted into different Trims for a new fancy looking aesthetic elements netherrack can now be smelted to make nether bricks which can be crafted into nether brick blocks this is nor derp to facilitate alternative means of obtaining nether brick blocks without having to mine out the walls of nether fortresses beacon now have increased horizontal range and Infinite upward range allowing for them to be hidden underground except a course for the beam while still having an effect on the player you can now craft what I’ll call snow slabs which are 1/8 height sheets of snow it can be stacked to allow for finer slope Gradients block IDs 43 : 8 and nine now correspond to smooth double stone slabs and smooth sandstone blocks respectively these blocks use the top face of the slab texture on all sides while the smooth double stone slab has existed for as long as I can remember the smooth Stan stone slab is new and not the most favorite of changes but it now takes anywhere from two to three bonemeal to fully grow crops and using it results in the display of a green particle effect now for some changes to mobs the rates at which slimes spawn and swamps at Nights now varies based upon the phase of the moon skeletons are now better at aiming and will shoot faster the closer you get to them and zombies have increased aggro range deal more damage the lower health they have and when on fire can ignite players that they come In contact with mobs have also been adjusted to scale better with each difficulty setting now let’s move on to some menu and inventory changes the texture pack menu is now under options and allows for texture packs to be changed in game chat size can be adjusted in the chat settings menu and Smooth lighting has a new intermediate setting there’s also added support for a new Mojang run server system called minecraft realms but for the moment access seems to be limited to a small well I thought to have been randomly selected group of users but interestingly enough I actually had it Enabled on my account while recording the i/o for this so anyway I’m sure more info will come out about it as time goes by as its released everyone crafting has been significantly improved and made to be much more efficient thanks to the new function of being able to click and drag In order to evenly distribute a stack of items across the grid double clicking an item will retrieve up to a stack of other like items that are distributed across your inventory which is useful for retrieving any items that you may have done the click and drag on there Are also some newly available commands / effect allowing for the application or removal of potion effects on players and / tests for to determine if a player fits a given parameter slash test four must be run on a command block adjacent to a comparator to have any sort of physical effect there is Also new command line based score system that can keep track of things like kills and deaths and allow players to be split into teams on servers when used in conjunction with the slash test for commands it can actually allow for objectives to be set in adventure maps finally a few miscellaneous things Renaming spawn eggs with an anvil will cause any mobs spawned by that egg to share the name and renamed containers will now display their name when opens right-clicking Armour will equip it stairs won’t stop you from sprinting chests and abandoned mineshafts have been replaced with minecart chests Sitting atop a rail and you can now punch things up to 5 blocks away when in creative mode whoo so that’s just about it there are a few small changes I may have skipped over so I’ll link the full log in the description if you’re interested other than that though thanks A bunch for watching if you’ve enjoyed a rating would be much appreciated and I’ll see you next time you Video Information
