Epic Minecraft 1.7 Update: New Biomes & Fishing

Foreign hello everybody my name is Cirque and welcome to the first snapshot of 1.7 snapshot 13w 36a this was just released uh yesterday and the main thing that they added at least the most exciting thing for me was the New World Generation and all of the

Uh re-doing and adding of biomes the new biomes include the Birch Forest Savannah roofed Forest Mega Spruce taiga the Ice Bike biome and the Mesa which is bugged at the moment it’s supposed to be a like Sandy Cliff uh Plateau biome but right now it’s just a bunch of pits

The new trees in the savannah and the roofed Forest are currently made out of jungle wood Spruce Wood and oak leaves which means they don’t have their own saplings and you can’t actually grow them yet but I’m sure there’ll be something added in the upcoming snapshots you also are not able to grow

The 2×2 spruce trees in the mega Spruce tiger at this time they’ve also added variants to the biomes like the flower Forest the sunflower Plains they renamed what we currently call Tega to cold tiger and now they’ve changed uh the taiga to have no snow so it’s just a spruce Forest without any

Snow they also added melons to jungles they redid the swamps and broke up the land a bit more made it more like marshes they changed the sugar cane texture so that it appears different colors in different biomes like grasses and leaves and they also overhauled the Extreme

Hills they added spruce trees they added Stone and they also added snow at higher elevations so you can actually have snow-capped mountains another thing they added to all these biomes is new flowers and a couple of new blocks now we already had the dandelion which you can craft into two dandelion yellow

But instead of roses we now have the poppy flower which you can also craft into two rose red dye just like the Roses but the rest of these flowers only give you one die so we have the Blue Orchid which gives you one light blue dye the allium which gives you a magenta

Die the Azure bluet I believe that’s pronounced which gives you a light gray dye uh red tulip which also gives your rose red dye orange tulip which gives you an orange die a White Tulip which gives you a light gray die pink tulip which gives you a pink dye

And the oxide Daisy which again gives you light gray dye and over here we also have some two high plants we have the sunflower which always uh faces uh what direction is that it’d be East it faces where the sun rises which let’s get that sun to rise again

And that can be crafted into two dandelion yellow dye here we have a lilac bush which can be crafted into two magenta dye a rose bush which can be crafted into two rows red dye and a peony bush which can be crafted into two pink dye

And then we also have double Tall Grass which is added to the plains biomes and large ferns we also have two new blocks here we have packed ice which is slippery just like ice but it is not transparent and it will not melt or turn into water when you break it

And we also have the Pod Soul which I’m not sure if that’s going to be the final name or if that’s just a placeholder name it seems like a strange name but you can find this in the mega Spruce Tega biome the other thing the snapshot did was overhaul fishing mechanics it

Added three new fish the raw salmon clownfish and puffer fish the raw salmon can be be smelted into a cooked salmon in a furnace raw salmon and clownfish give you one hunger bar while they cooked salmon fills three hunger bars and besides eating I don’t know if

There’s a purpose to the clownfish at this time um and then we also have the puffer fish which if eaten will give you hunger poison and nausea so you definitely don’t want to eat these guys but what you can do is you can Brew them with awkward potion

Which will give you a potion of breathing so this portion of water breathing does what it says it does it allows you to breathe underwater which let’s go into game mode zero here so when we drink this you’ll notice that the water gets lighter which means that it gives us a

Little bit better visibility underwater and also our air bubbles do not go down the potion of water breathing can be brewed with redstone to make it last eight minutes instead of three minutes and if brewed with a fermented spider eye will give you a potion of harming

The raw salmon can also be used to tame wild ocelots just like the raw fish they also added two new enchantments called luck of the sea and lure which you can put on a fishing rod now when you fish there’s a chance that you could

Get a fish you could get a treasure like an enchanted book which is one thing the only treasure that I’ve gotten so far or you could get nothing now the luck of the sea increases your chance to get the treasure and lure increases your chance to get fish they

Also added new fishing animations to make fishing a little more interesting when you Cast Your Rod you see bubbles start popping up in the water around your bobber and eventually you’ll see a trail of bubbles heading towards your bobber and just a few more things they added

You can now remove items from an item frame without breaking the frame so if you click the item once it will give you the item if you click the empty frame it will give you the frame also they added a new falling animation so when you hit the ground it makes a

Nice little splash isn’t that neat and they redid the options menu a bit instead of having the volume sliders up top they now have a music and sounds button which takes you to a bunch of Sliders for different volumes you can turn the weather volume down enemy monsters players

Jukebox no blocks blocks and environments and friendly animals as well as the music and the master volume that we had before and we have this nice little uh super secret settings which we cannot access yet obviously that is going to be something they will reveal to us in future snapshots

So I believe that’s about everything for this snapshot our first 1.7 snapshot it’s really cool to see the new generation and all that they’ve been working on the past I believe couple of months and if I missed anything make sure to post it down in the comments and let
