The latest Minecraft snapshot, 23W41A, introduces an exciting new feature that makes decorative pots much more than just an aesthetic addition to your build. In the past, you could simply place the pots down and admire their beauty, but now they have a practical purpose.
Imagine you come across a stash of Gunpowder and instead of storing it in a regular, boring chest, you decide to use a decorated pot. By right-clicking on the pot with the Gunpowder, you can store up to a full stack of 64. It gives off a fun little wobble and emits smoke, adding a playful touch. Although you can’t retrieve the items without breaking the pot, it’s great that the pot doesn’t shatter completely. You can place it back down and pick up whatever was stored inside.
But the usefulness of decorated pots doesn’t end there. They can interact with Hoppers and droppers just like chests. For example, if you place a potion of fire resistance into a dropper and activate the hopper, the potion will be transferred to the decorated pot. This back-and-forth interaction makes the decorated pot a versatile storage option.
Another interesting feature is the compatibility with comparators. If you fill a diamond decorated pot with diamonds, it will work with a comparator and output a signal based on the number of items inside. This offers potential for creating intricate sorting systems within Minecraft.
From a technical standpoint, calibrated skull sensors can also interact with decorated pots, providing opportunities for triggering events in maps or secret entrances to your base.
On a more fun note, you can smash pots in treasure rooms or dungeons to obtain loot. If you prefer a more dramatic approach, you can even use a projectile like a bow and arrow to shatter the pots into their components. But don’t worry, nothing is permanently lost – you can easily rebuild the pots by recrafting them.
All in all, the new update brings a whole new level of functionality and excitement to decorated pots in Minecraft. They are no longer just decorations, but useful storage items that can add a touch of charm to your builds. Whether you’re a collector, adventurer, or map maker, these upgraded pots are sure to become a valuable asset in your Minecraft experience.
