EPIC Christmas Minecraft Party! Add-On Coding Snail Showdown!

This is the block party of Minecraft podcast episode 1 two three we’re your host bearded sloth and little C get all our info at the blockparty mc.com now let’s get the block party started Merry Christmas all Merry Christmas in your present was BS being able to count that’s impressive two that’s about as

High as I go though three what comes after that I have no idea no Merry Christmas it is Christmas time it is so this should release on the 23rd of December 2023 wow I can’t believe 2023 is almost over that’s crazy to me it feels like this year just started I

Totally agree with that and it gets worse as you get older little see I mean you’re catching up to me fast before you know it you’re going to be 40 also that’s not how a WIS cuz then you’ll be like a lot older well eventually I’ll

Probably die and you will catch me is okay just saying is this a challenge well does age stop when you die I don’t know I don’t know there’s some people let’s get back to Minecraft dud that’s crazy welcome all listeners we’re a little crazy tonight we are recording

This actually on a Friday night cuz contrary to popular belief we actually do things sometimes only when we’re forced by holy book room but we have Christmas Gatherings all weekend long we do we have three days in a row and Christmas Gatherings every day of it so

Yay get your festive Joy all right I don’t know what’s Christmasy I have no idea happy Christmas I know last year I think for the BL party we actually did a special episode maybe clip show or something I don’t quite recall but we’re actually going to give you a regular

Show this week so you should be very grateful wait so that’s Thanksgiving wrong holiday and we did get some comments from you listeners make sure you get your comments in on our Discord or email us those are probably the easiest way for most people so we didn’t

Plan anything christmy for this show so I’m going to try to make everything just related to Christmas it’s a challenge for me now oh that could be fun well let’s get on with it our first comment comes from starhammer 88 hey stars are pretty christmy look at that the North

Star yeah right the star that led the wise men to Bethlehem or wherever they LED them I’m guessing by then they weren’t in Bethlehem I don’t know there’s a whole story there go read Luke from the Holy Bible you’ll get that story right there anyway starhammer 88

Says just got all caught up on episodes again love what you all are doing with the new show format keep up the great work I’m glad someone likes the new format besides me because old man BS you know how much much effort it took for me

To get him to change the show format and he was like oh people a’t going to like this and then he’s like said this me into something no you when we were originally I’m like hey we should change up the show like make it a bit different

And then you’re like uh well we’ve changed it a couple times we’ve changed format I think this was the big format change though and we’ve stuck with it for a while now we used to do topics but let’s be honest here we kind of run out

Of topics to come up with ourselves so we need you all to tell us what you want to talk about we’re really not that creative of people so we need you guys to be creative for us and I know nothing of Minecraft so you know that doesn’t

Help the situation actually I know too much and I’m realizing how much I actually know yeah you might know the information you don’t know how to use it oh I don’t know how to play at all but I know the backend stuff of how things are

Working or maybe what you need to do those kind of things but and honestly I guess I don’t you got to go back maybe update aquatic everything before that I’ve got it down so if you go back to 13 BS is a pro Minecrafter I’ve got it covered no problem we’re on update

1.21 right that was the camel update or whatever the heck it was in the 20 that was 1.20 okay so the next see I’m getting old and now I’m getting forgetful with Minecraft updates we’ve been playing for too long yeah it’s it’s been a long time well starhammer I’m

Glad you’re liking the new format I am too it works out as long as we get comments it’s a little weird when you guys don’t comment though so then it’s just us sitting here in silence staring at each other which you guys can’t see cuz our editing cuts it out right yeah

We cut all the awkward Sil see staring at each other cuz they don’t want to see me yeah they definitely not me either also starhammer I think you might be one of our newest applications coming into Jericho so that’s somebody that found us on the podcast that is joining us which is kind

Of cool so I’m looking forward to meeting you in game and everything just a shout out to you don’t give you hopes up if you ever join Jericho anyone out there listening to actually see a BS in the wild he is usually deep in the mind somewhere just trying to stay away from

All the players he can he is a ground Shield Man the way he plays Minecraft I really am I am totally a hobbit I was on top in your in front of your house on this season and you’re like get out of my lawn I run away I hide from everybody

I just Crouch so you can’t see my name he has severe Minecraft social anxiety absolutely all right thanks for the comment our next comment comes from kangar well I’ve had to remove the world animals pack from our realm a one of the players accidentally killed a snail what

From then on all of the snails slowly hunted him oh that’s it was hilarious but it did make it unplayable for him as each one took half his health when it attacked and they are so tiny so hard to spot not sure if this is a bug

Or a feature of the add-on so Kart this is what I’d tell you I know a little bit about add-ons I’d get in the file and delete the snail file that’s probably what I would not even delete if you just take off the pack I don’t know how

Realms work but I know a lot of packs if you take the add-on pack off and then put it back on so you can still have all those awesome animals you’ve been telling us about and I just want to hear more about your animals that you have

But I think that would Pro maybe reset it well it you that player probably either has a tag or a scoreboard of some sort that’s now applied to that player so if you could figure out how to reset that that might might help you out that

Way you don’t have to get rid of the whole now I have another thing maybe they shouldn’t kill a snail yeah what’s up with that so I think this should really just be a challenge for the player to have to have a snail apocalypse around them what and after

They die does it do they keep attacking you cuz I know a lot of mobs like an Enderman I think if they’re aggravated at you they kill you and then they’re like there’s a cool down or something right not even a cool down just they kill you they’re like okay does that

Work with the guys in the nether the piglins you have to be wearing gold and if you take it off they’re mad at you if you put it back on I think sometimes it’s kind of right but the I I think I’m talking about the zombified piglins oh Y

Where you shoot them or whatever yeah I think if you kill them they’re done but then won’t the other ones be mad at you too so how long does it take to cool down I wonder if they Ed like the mechanic of that something like that in

I don’t know but why does it a snail do half of your damage yeah and I do snails really attack people in real life I need to do some research I remember when I was little there was like we used to have a fish tank thing and we used to

Take the snails that we found like in front of our barn and stuff outside and just put them in there now that I think of it I wouldn’t think that snails just exist everywhere they now that I think of it that I look back I just it doesn’t

Seem like something you would think yeah they’re all over the place speaking of that fish tank just little knowledge here we actually had a puffer fish it was not it it’s not saltwater puffer fish like the big ones that you think about like in Minecraft like in

Minecraft it was a smaller one and it’s actually supposed to be brackish so it’s like half salt water half fresh water is how they’re supposed to be but we had it in this tank and we’d feed it snails they totally would demolish the snail the shs the puffer fish actually like

Puffer like uh not really they’re not quite like that not the little ones but their eyes moved independently from each other and stuff it it’s really cool to see so this is his knowledge from update aquatic no yeah exactly we’re going back to update aquatic here you know I like

That stuff that was probably one of the best Minecraft updates of all time you know we were having that debate weren’t we a lot of people say the nether update yeah it’s between update Aquatic and the nether update seem to be the general consensus pillage was cool too just

Because it added so many different mechanics so the Villager thing I was really mad when they first changed it because I just figured out how to breathe them we used to have doors all the time and I think also we thought the pillagers were going to be like in other

Games they’ll come into your base steal your chest I remember you saying that like oh well these guys are going to steal my chest I don’t want that but no they just don’t really they’re not that big they are annoying they are annoying but I think ances can be good I

Have had to start carrying milk buckets and things like that and I’m kind of used to it now so that worked that’s like Phantoms I’m starting to like Phantoms now that is a controversial opinion guys please don’t like hurt me I can’t recall the last time I saw a

Phantom because I go to sleep right away M I kind of think it’s cool like you don’t sleep well skill issue you have a little bit of a flying mob to attack you and we have a live comment here from advisory Labs who said cancelled I will

Be at your door to change your opinion right there’s a lot of a lot of phantom hate but well that’s almost all the mob votes it almost makes the community divisive now the Phantom compared to the other options we had I remember that being not a the best option so I

Remember I think I voted for something that was like underground and stole your enchantments or something yeah and that’s where they got the idea for the grindstone now okay yeah and I like that but I think yeah I think Phantoms are good now that I look at it from in more

Like just chill playing Minecraft in less of taking influence from the community and more of just just playing Minecraft and seeing what I think I like Phantoms it’s you don’t sleep well now you have a bit of a challenge you can fix your elytra with them instead of it

Used to be leather I think and that just seems too easy and I think they’re kind cool well and I think it kind of guides you to play the game I and I don’t want to say how you’re supposed to but kind of that way right the supposed to more

Of just it’s another challenge that is completely optional you can sleep every night never have to De with Phantoms well I kind of think of the players that might be building something like a skyscraper be up in the air and just never sleep never try to play the game

For anything else and doing this and there is some kind of consequence to that now mhm so yeah it’s a good balance I can see the benefits I never fix my elytra I always have mending on it so that part of it is useless especially on

Jericho where we don’t load up the world go to the nether go to the end in the first day like we used to back in the day or how a lot of members what if we didn’t have the quotequote restrictions on it but that’s just to make it more

Fun for everyone but when we go to the end we’re usually in diamond armor full diamond armor we have silk touch and an Ender Chest I will have a enough XP I will have an anvil Rockets full in my just full of rockets already before we even have elytras and a Unbreaking 3

Mending book so the second I pick up that elytra item I put mending and Unbreaking on it for my first elytra as long as I don’t die losing all my stuff I die a lot but I usually get my stuff back I have an elytra for the rest of of

The season so that’s something and we can go ahead and talk about it now we’ll just go ahead and get into our time to talk in Minecraft but I lost my elytra I’ve had this whole time in our whole debacle of the ancient city raid that wire guy hosted on Jericho oh yeah

Because somebody was messing with TNT all over the place and blew up half my stuff I also lost my chest plate I think and I lost all kinds of I lost my fishing pole my cherished fishing pole I don’t know what to do there were there

Was a lot of chaos at that event it was something else so on Jericho yeah we had this event at wire guys ancient city dig which is a big circle on top of an ancient city with like one hole down to the middle of it and we were going to go

Fight wardens and just goof around and he provided some cool stuff in the things he provided was more TNT than any Minecraft survival player should ever see in their life I don’t even understand how he got that much sand and that wasn’t even a lot he had like seven

More chest full I know he just he just that’s all he does in Minecraft he just mines it’s crazy because I can see the gun powder because you can have Farm running in AFK but the sand you physically have to get that which has fun I like sand mining I could do that

All day and it’s he has villagers he has chest fulls and chest fulls of maxed out tools yeah with enchants and everything it’s awesome and I that is Minecraft taken to the extreme it becomes creative mode in survival it was we were dying left and right there not caring about

Our death score just cuz it was funny some of us weren’t okay well some of us were having fun as well and actually going near a warden on like some old man there who happens to be a sloth not to point any fingers or say any names I

Just want to put it out there that I think I was the only one that actually unived a warden so I eliminated a warden by myself and I didn’t die I’m just saying I’m putting that out there I was at the event I went down to the

Ancient city I did all this you didn’t go down to the ancient city you went above did no I I was down there several times okay we were taking TNT and just spamming the inside of it and blowing everything up it was Anarchy at his base

Yeah it was fun though that that was a lot of fun to have an event I’m hoping we have more events this season for some reason season 4 there weren’t a lot of things we did together there wasn’t a lot going on really except for early on

I’d say the first month or two we were doing stuff together hopefully next season we’ll be doing a lot more together especially without the like spawn building kind of like not we had it so 500 blocks for a base and I think that’s if you’re going to build a mega

Base be respectful of just other but if you’re building a small little house like if I want to build a starter house it can be near shops it can be near that and it’ll make it feel like a little Community right yep and I’m looking forward to that seeing how that works

Out I’m just hoping people don’t build like nerd poles right at spawn kind of thing so we’ll have to come up with some kind of restriction or hopefully the players we have or under stand and if nothing else I will just destroy the nerd pole and I’ll be the nerd Pole

Police there you go no nerd poles or little c will be Barney 5 all right what else have you been up to this week so I just finished everything up on Jericho the current season I even built a small house at our base I just built a house I built some

Flower like leaves and then flower double tall flowers inside of it to kind of just fill in space I cleaned up all the chests that were in front of your house just everywhere around our base cleaned it all up and just finalized it it’s not perfect everything’s not fully filled in but

It’s nice speaking of that so I’m definitely fully in finish up mode of Jericho this season I took all my gear off already and you had a place for that in our storage area that’s connected to each of our houses at our main base we were calling it The Genesis which is

Cool now did you see that I put some Shockers down there did you organize those or get rid of them I organized them besides the large amount of Donuts you had I put those in a shocker box I made two shocker boxes underneath your armor stand area like I did for mine

Where I have like my tools and stuff like that but on I just have Donuts yeah I was going to use those donuts for a shop but that never came about not enough people were really playing to make it worthwhile it was fun I do have a big doughnut pixel art thing actually

It’s a semi TR hauling a giant dut and I built a gas station next to it and my RV my RV had to make a comeback the RV is classic that came from Season Two Season one even maybe in season one I built an RV not the same design in season 2 I

Don’t know I think I don’t know if I built an RV in season two I might have built a small one and then removed it but in season 3 I built NV it’s based off of mum one of Mumbo jumbos I forget which hermitcraft season it’s based off

Of that and then in season 4 um well in season three I had it as my starter base and then I moved it around I think at the end of the season it was along one of the Overworld highways on the side of the road pulled over by a police car no

It was like that for a while and there was like Brewing stands all over it but then I moved it to a special event and I just moved it around all the time and I think next season not saying a lot but I think the RV might be getting an upgrade

Ooh upgraded getting all fancy over there little see yeah I might uh clean out the rust so I’m still doing my BS Adventures on live streaming on our YouTube channel the black Party YouTube channel have you watched any of these I have stomped in a few streams just to

Make sure your mic’s unmuted yeah that helps right if I unmute the mic I I’m just saying I might not have always done that I’ve been having a lot of fun with that now this last week I don’t think I did a whole lot I was trying to get the

Sheep going just some of the grindy things and you don’t realize how much boringness there is when you play the game that it’s not boring for me I enjoy doing that stuff but I’m sure for the live stream people watching it it’s different too with your live streams

Your live streams I wouldn’t say produced but they are a lot of people will watch them later and it’s almost like a series with yours where is like my live streams that I used to do I would just play Minecraft for 12 hours and just chill yeah I don’t usually have

A lot of people chatting with me occasionally I not I’ve never done it my longest live stream ever was eight and a half hours that’s a long one I would love to be able to do that but I simply that I can’t do it in our world

So but I am thinking about actually doing every other week on this BS adventures and then the other weeks doing it on Jericho season 5 so let me know what you guys think if you want to see that because I would like to have more content from Jericho SMP we talk

About it all the time but you the listeners don’t get to see it I want to kind of do content like a live stream every so often on Jericho next season on like TVP or something but the problem with it I have is I like to play a lot

Like randomly I might hop on for 15 minutes I just am tired of doing something and then I get off and I just I progress a lot between live streams and I feel like that’s not fair to the viewers but I also don’t want to not play when I’m not streaming kind of

Thing well that’s kind play so often that is kind of the balance I want to do because I’ll definitely play off camera on Jericho for sure and I’m hoping maybe when I decide to live stream on there I’ll have something to show them or something to do my theory ited out if

I’m doing a long grindy thing I probably won’t stream it like if I’m just mining unless is like a challenge live stream right I might be opposite of that yeah like do the grindy stuff and just talk to people I don’t know I know it depends

On on season one I did a live streams on my old laptop I don’t know how those survived but I did those and like they were just kind of every so often I’d just play and just yeah so it just it wouldn’t really make sense it wouldn’t

Be like a series it’d be more of a live stream of just playing on the server and you could kind of see what’s going on yeah I’m looking forward to it I think to little see you’re really good at streaming and I would love for you to do

That on our Channel and kind of grow our Channel we’ve already expanded where you can listen to the podcast on YouTube I like the platform I am definitely a user of YouTube a lot insane amount of YouTube videos I watch and I would love to see you doing that and I’m sure the

Listeners let us know what you guys think what you guys would want to see maybe you want to I used to do tutorials I like doing tutorials but I’m not that great at it I would say right yeah no you’re not it’s it’s so if you want an

Idea of one of his tutorials it’s like okay uh we’re going to place a block here to the left we’re going to place a block here to the right and then he explains every single block in a college essay for every block and the reason it

Was placed I will say now that I’ve been live streaming for a while even my first two live streams in this series were not that great and I feel like I’m getting a lot better I’m learning the trade a bit I’m going to live stream on the block

Party and everyone’s going to be like hey I like this guy what’s that old guy doing this guy this this child knows what he’s up to yeah they’ll they’ll just turn me off hit all thumbs down on mine and thumbs up on yours that’s probably what it is

Hey advisory Labs from our live chat on our says no B’s mining tutorial was top tier gained me so many diamonds see he loves it he knows he knows exactly he liked me explaining I kind of want to make shorts for TVP but not a lot like we were and

Like if I’m going to make them they’re going to be more quality than quantity all for that but I have some cool ideas like I could make a mining tutorial thing but just not 15 or like I think your mining tutorial was like 9 minutes

So that could be 20 seconds so we can have both right because people like me I like things overly explained I want to know the backend mechanics what’s happening some people don’t want that they just tell me what to do and I’ll do it yeah everybody’s different and I

Think that’s what makes us so great as being content creators here between the two of us we cover everybody so no matter who you are if you’re old you can listen to Little C and if you’re young you can listen to me that’s it’s the opposite oh yeah turn that around I’m

Old forgive me we know we know PS we know yeah I’m looking forward to Bringing more content to the YouTube channel hopefully more quality content though and I think I’m getting back into Minecraft more to talk about even on here on the podcast I really enjoy doing

This podcast it’s been a lot of fun you the listeners have been amazing it’s awesome to be able to share this and I like doing the change logs and everything make sure everybody stays up to date know what knows what’s going on with the game all of that yeah advisory

Labs says in the live chat 123 episodes that’s a lot of episodes it is that’s every week one two three a BC exactly that’s a lot all right one other thing I wanted to talk about and I know you guys don’t all like hearing about it

But I’ve got back into the add-on realm of things yeah exactly and I’m learning some new things about sub packs and things like that I think we’re going to have a new pack available hopefully soon I need little C’s help because he’s like the graphics guy for textures and

Whatnot so I definitely need his help so we need to motivate him to make sure he gets the stuff I need so I can make this awesome pack and I’m hoping to make it available there’s actually two packs I want to revise the dut pack a bit and

Add something special to that the Revival of the donut and a whole new pack a resource pack so you can use it without an without losing achievements or anything like that you want you want to tell them what that resource pack is going to be you can if you want it’s

Going to be a totem Pack 12 totems one for each month yes 12 totems we could throw in a couple extra if you want it I don’t know but I was thinking the 12 I think that should be good it’s going to be 12 for Jericho because we’re doing

One each month and switching it but I am definitely hoping and it should be a toggle thing or a menu that pops up in like Bedrock Edition you have the menu for different ones hopefully we can get that if not they’ll just be 12 packs right yeah I’m I’m confident on the

Stuff I’ve actually been learning about this week that we’ll be able to do that I’m hoping to get it done here soon but it it takes a while to do 12 different totem textures right yeah because there’s a lot of times I’ll make a totem and I’ll make the texture in like 20

Minutes and then it’s a few days of trying to get that sized perfectly and just colored right and cuz Minecraft lighting with items is you have to make sure it’s textured right cuz I textured one thing and I’m like that doesn’t look right because of the lighting change

Right yep and that’s something I’ve noticed my mobile even we’ve had like a a grou uh totem pack on Jericho for a while now and if I play it on mobile it looks totally different than when I play it on my PC and I don’t know why the

Texture is exactly the same but for some reason it takes out like his eyes one of the pixels or something out of his eyes it’s weird how that works so we have to play around with that on a couple devices make sure we can get it all polished up I don’t like releasing

That’s why the craftable donuts is not available right now because there was an update and I haven’t had a chance to be able to polish it to make it exactly right I don’t want to release anything that isn’t working perfectly if that makes sense we release the show every

Week so I don’t well there is I think your quality control kind of Skips a few things sometimes all right anything else about Minecraft you want to talk about little see not that I can think of oh well I guess I do want to mention something since it’s Christmas time I

Built a Christmas tree and I base for the into the season 2 so if you ever go and Explorer base on Jericho I buil a little Christmas tree in our storage room now did you want to talk about the problem you had with the candles so you

Can’t place candles on top of leaves but candles float so I had to place a block under it break that block and then Place leaves I was mad I was like oh no I can’t put candles on top of the Christmas tree that would look so good

But then I placed it on the I tried to place it on the leaf it didn’t work but then you place a block remove that block and then the candle floats so you can place any block under it so essentially you put a candle there and you place a

Leaf on the candle under the under the candle but yeah yeah okay there you go so that’s a tip for you little C tips and tricks if you jump off a cliff in Minecraft I miss those shorts you die I used to this super sarcastic Minecraft

Show it’s like did you know that in my and I did it in that cringy YouTu we should bring that back did you know that in Minecraft if you jump in lava you die and then I added this on one of them this is because lava is very hot those

Are so uh yes those are fun all right I think it’s about time to get into our real life stuff for the past week you’ll never guess little see what I’ve been up to in real life um let me think let me think I’m thinking let me guess you were

Playing American Truck Simulator in real life real life Trucking yes that’s what I’ve been up to of of course so I’ve been having a problem there’s a little heater that runs off diesel fuel that keeps me warm at night so I don’t have to idle the truck keep the engine

Running of the truck makes sense right and it saves me tons of fuel fuel costs really high right now actually that’s starting to come down finally but it’s still really high so I needed to work on that but apparently the manufacturer of the truck put this cover over top of

Where this heater is so you can’t really access what you need to do to fix it to service it has a little like screen and filter thing on it that you need to replace I couldn’t get to it there was four bolts holding this cover on and

Guess what one of the bolts was completely stripped out from the factory so I couldn’t get it off o so I’ve been running about a week without the heater so I have to run my truck keep it idling which I don’t like doing but I have to

Stay warm somehow and you you know me little see I got to keep it nice and hot in there anyways I took I found a shop and they helped me out they actually grinded off the bolt for me so I could get the cover off and then that night I

Stayed up till like 2: in the morning trying to dig out this little teeny tiny piece of screen that makes the whole thing work wow so I could replace it it’s not even as big as the tip of my pinky finger it’s really tiny and I had

To get that all figured out and I got it out and I was so happy I have heat again so I can keep it 90° in my truck again you know you almost talked me in me going with you for some time now now you’ve lost me again oh man so yeah

That’s what I’ve been doing I did that this week and then of course my normal Trucking stuff I’ve been all over the place Illinois and Wisconsin and no I don’t think I went to Wisconsin I don’t even know where I’ve been I did go to Iowa did you get any donuts not get

Donuts but I have found cinnamon rolls from the Love’s truck stops the Love’s brand cinnamon rolls not Cinnabon no they’re really really good are they better than Cinnabon I think so they’re free packaged and to me I like them better and it’s probably cheaper than a cinnamon bun much much cheaper and they

Are super delicious well now you’ve sold me into going with you again so there we go now other things this week we’re totally in full Christmas mode at our church aren’t we little see that’s for sure it’s been crazy and us being the tech Booth people so the tech boo people

Yeah I do the sound you do video and lighting and and you help like set up mics and you do the physical stuff like that I do pretty much everything like kind of good but BS is specialized in sound I’m just everywhere yeah I know what I’m doing with the soundboard you

Can turn it on you can make people go up and down and and I can adjust it and off yep exactly anyways so Christmas is coming Christmas Eve service right main thing that’s I mean that’s what Christians do is celebrate Christmas I mean correlation you know if you look at

The name Christ and Christmas big deal here so we are going to have kids singing and trumpets blaring guitars strumming and probably some violins in there just all kinds of stuff going on and you need to move the camera around which you’re not happy about wherever they the PE there’s a

Like a special music thing with like a bunch of different instruments a bunch of the U musicians at our church are all doing a big thing together which is really cool it’s a great idea but they didn’t want to stand on the stage or any they’re completely out of camera frame

Even though the camera is zoomed out very far because we digitally Zoom it because it’s 4K using a 1080p output so we digitally zoomed I try to move it over like I normally would when someone’s on the far side of the stage I can get there they are so far over I

Can’t get why are they doing that I there’s a lot of them so oh okay there might not be enough room on the stage or something it’ll be very annoying that we have to physically move the camera now that we’ve adjusted fully to the never touching the camera besides the

Turn it on system right yeah and and because the digital zooms even if I move the camera and move it back to quote unquote where it was you’re not going to get it exact the digital Zoom is going to look a little different then and it’s just messing with my OCD perfectionism

But we’ll make it work we usually do we are the heroes in the background that nobody sees and it’s fun doing like I don’t I don’t mind doing this stuff but I really wish we had more practice before the actual service that’s usually what drives me nuts anyways what else

You been up to this week I rearranged my office a bit since and just cleaned it up which it needed and it’s looking nice am the type of person I if I have my area super cleaned up I work way better and I’m more productive if it’s dirty at

All or unorganized I just can’t focus right and I I don’t like a of stuff I guess I mean I have my decorations and stuff but I like less stuff just cuz it’s just feels nicer when I’m working I don’t know but just doing that cuz we

Have a Christmas gathering at our house this weekend and yeah it’s just that’s pretty much all I’ve done in real life yeah a lot of Christmas stuff preparing for Christmas yep we’ve got Christmases like we said earlier we are recording this on Friday this will release on

Saturday by the time this releases we’re already on our way to Grandmother’s house we go I I’m not really in the Christmas mood this year I don’t know why I think it’s cuz I haven’t been listening to that much Christmas music because it’s like I have a Christmas

Playlist that’s like 15 20 songs I’ll listen to those and then I’ll be like I’m going back to my 650 rock and roll playlist I do think some of it might have to do with the weather too it’s kind of mild here for this time of year

For us it’s been like kind of warm for this time of year and like no snow or anything exactly haven’t had a lot of snow nothing like that which I’m fine with no snow not on wood it hasn’t snowed much yeah I’m very thankful to

Not have tons of snow cuz in my job that makes it very difficult all right well that sums up what we’ve been up to in real life now for what Mojang has been doing well they’re doing something shocking the past week in Minecraft all info from you guessed it minecraft.net

Good job give yourself a pat on the back except for when I go to Minecraft net I can’t find the updates at all I got to get them elsewhere you know what it’s somewhere so it’s somewhere on there all right we have a couple pretty simple week Minecraft Java snapshot 23w 51a

Finally Java is coming to the present day because they’re catching up to bedrock updates here in the previews I’m just saying last week we had stuff in Bedrock first usually they make it in Java and then figure out a way to put it on Bedrock but I feel like

They probably had their Bedrock team and Java teams make it separately with the same design so that way it’s manufactured for that version and works better yeah I’m not sure what the delay was this one this snapshot came out on Monday December 18th 2023 and it does have experimental

Update 1.21 please note in order to try these new new features you must turn on the update 1.21 experimental data pack the additions in this is added new sounds for the breeze there are different attacks and different sounds they’re adding so that’ll be cool the trial spawner now has the same two

Default loot tables as they have in the trial chamber all right that’s the experimental toggle stuff now for the stuff in the regular snapshot I guess you’d say the addition here added the armadillo finally Java has access to the armadillo and this again snapshot though not in actual game yet so remember that

The armadillo is a passive mob drops armadillo scoots periodically drops armadillo scoots when brushed spawns in Savannah’s favorite food is spider eyes when an armadillo detects a threat it rolls up and those threats are players who are sprinting players on a mount or in a vehicle Undead mobs usually when uh

Enemies are approaching me too I like to roll up in a ball yeah that’s what I do too it does not roll up if it is fleeing in water in the air or if being lead when an armadillo is rolled up it does not walk cannot eat and will not be

Tempted by food it continues to scan for threats and if there are no threats detected for 3 seconds it will roll and Minecraft released a video on the YouTube when they added it originally with the armadillo this guy is so adorable I do not regret my vote one bit

This is the cutest thing ever yeah I really like the armadillo and added armadillo Scoot and wolf armor oh yeah we got the wolf armor yay and of course they’re still trying to get feedback and discuss it and all that they have links in their change logs where you can get

That they’re doing it on Discord now which I really like that better than the other way they were doing it before there are some changes in this snapshot trial spawner randomizes the loot table only once each combat for all players Breeze wind and wind charge rendering have been tweaked renam scoots that come

From Turtles to Turtle scoots llamas and Shockers are no longer able to destroy armor stands the data pack version is now 27 and they have some fixes here when opening chat in F1 mode previous messages aren’t visible sound for exiting a portal traveling to another dimension does not use its subtitle

String despite it existing in the language file bone meal used on rooted dirt causes the particles to appear above it despite the growth being below it and of course there’s many more we’ll have the link in the description of course and now we have Minecraft Java snapshot 23

W51 B it also came out same day so obviously they forgot something or mess something up that was December 18th 2023 and fixed a crash that could occur when the name tag of a player was visible during sleeping swimming or dying that’s like one of those r random things that

They have to get fixed right away they notice it right away what gets me is you know they’re playing around with the snapshot before it releases and it’s kind of funny that they never run into these problems but immediately somebody must have there must have ran into it

Because they fixed it right maybe when they released it it didn’t have a certain thing or something line of code or something silly right yep it could have been a comma or something they didn’t save it correctly or something yeah I’ve done that before I’ve messed up a comma

In packs before messes up everything well that’s it there were no Bedrock things at all this week so Java finally caught up now it’s time for listener questions wow that was interesting our first question comes from kangar have you tried the new Lego fortnite I’m not

A fortnite player but this is such a copy of Minecraft that I had to give it a try it’s a survival game wandered around and saw some chickens and a cow and then a spider attacked me wow this seems uh familiar I only played for a few minutes and apparently there is no

Farming available yet but you can play on any device and have your own permanent online world that supports up to eight players on any device and it’s all free very compelling and Def in worth a play all right before I give my answer here actually in the live chat

Again again advisory Labs says it’s just Lego world which is just Minecraft but Lego only Lego worlds is way better yes Lego world is awesome so anyways kingar you got my attention with just saying Lego I love Lego and as far as fortnite I’ve played the regular fortnite for

Like not even a day I played around with it it really isn’t my thing at at all but this sounds kind of interesting I might have to check it out but honestly more than likely I’m probably just GNA play Minecraft I tried this game cuz everyone’s talking about it and honestly

I’m like yeah it kind of seems like Minecraft and I guess it’s cool that it’s Lego but I really didn’t like the mechanics of the game play and if I want to play a game like that I’ll play Lego worlds which is a 10 times better game because everything is actually Lego

Instead of it being a world where like the mobs and stuff are Lego and buildings are Lego but the ground and stuff’s not Lego world it’s all Lego it’s amazing game so hear me out maybe we can just get a Lego texture pack they make those for Java Edition that are

Super detailed and are amazing okay so we just need to get that over to bedrock so it’s very hard to do because Bedrock we don’t have OptiFine which has custom models for texturing oh yeah because the little whatever they’re called the studs yeah would be very difficult but I feel

Like we could do that somehow maybe I don’t know anyway somebody needs to work on that and make it official right I don’t even care if we have to pay for it on Marketplace or whatever yeah but that would be Lego and Lego has the marketing with Minecraft there’s Lego Minecraft

Set yeah I think they should I wonder if epic games in fortnite did buy exclusive rights for a Lego Survival game probably not cuz like Lego has their own games they have tons of their games yeah I wouldn’t think so but who knows so Mojang get on this I know it would

Probably cost a lot but it’s beneficial for both companies so maybe you can come up with some mutual agreement or something just give us a Lego texture pack that’s good absolutely all right thank you for that question there kangar I love the longer question by the way

Of course you do of course I do all right our next one came from starhammer 88 with Christmas right around the corner what is your favorite Christmas food and it can’t be tacos LOL I mean at a lot of our Christmas Gatherings we have tacos so take that ha anyways I

Love Christmas cookies the one with the frosting on top I think they’re called sugar cookies I think their official title but those things are so good I could just eat those all Christmas and be happy as could be yeah those are really good now I’m going to say starhammer literally as this episode

Gets released I will be on my way to my grandparents house or there by the time you probably listen to this and we’ll be eating Christmas dinner and you guessed it it’s going to be tacos literally so I’m not accepting your arbitrary restrictions with your question here and I’m going with tacos

That’s my answer get over it okay well if I have to go with traditional type food then I’m probably going to say shrimp cocktail oh wait is that just my family too yeah are families with Christmas we really don’t usually do a traditional even at any of our families

Really it’s usually not a traditional Christmas maybe at one it’s a bit more but I know sometimes we don’t even do that and like yeah it’s not I don’t think we care about the quotequote traditional holiday what’s up with Thanksgiving dinner we ate frozen pizzas and it was delicious it was so funing

Yeah what is up with this arbitrary rules that this food has to be Christmas food and this can’t be I’m sorry tacos are just as amazing for Christmas as frozen pizza oh wait exactly I I can’t I’m trying to think of what a traditional Christmas food is and besides Christmas cookies and like

Cookies and candy and like that fun stuff I can’t really think of anything now something like we do is Holy Bookworm will make this amazing Oreo cream pie it’s crunched up Oreos and stuff in a pie delicious and that to us is a Christmas thing cuz she

Only makes it around Christmas time but that is just amazing So speaking of pies I was talking to holy book room the other day about making a pumpkin pie and you know what she told me what she said pumpkin pies are only for Thanksgiving well then why didn’t she make us one for

Thanksgiving pumpkin pies are for every day of the year I’m just saying now if you want a good pie for every time of year apple pies there you go I do like apple pies too now I want an apple pie well would you like an apple pie with

That yes I would I’m glad McDonald’s doesn’t ask that when I go through the drive-thru or I would be even more broke than I am speaking of holy Bookworm now it’s time for the reason you’re still here after all of our rambling on holy bookworms joke of the week where did the

Turtles go to fill up his gas tank the Shell Station boo all right I feel like we might need to explain this I don’t know if Shell gas station are everywhere across the world I don’t live around the world I live in the United States oh advisory LS here says they are okay there you go thank advis like BP is

Pretty popular around the world so that’s where that joke comes from just in case yeah advisory lab says they’re like McDonald’s everybody knows McDonald’s so there you go Shell station haha funny holy Bookworm thank you so funny h been a great show little see I really have fun doing these on Friday
