All right what’s going on dudes and welcome to minecraft snapshot 12w40 let’s go ahead and jump right in with one of the more significant editions which also happens to be kind of an interesting coincidence so just a few days ago this past sunday i put up a video some of you probably saw It going over a mod called flatlands extension what the mod did was add a new world type to where it was a super flat world but you also had things like tall grass trees caves ravines oars all that randomly generated stuff that you would normally find in default worlds but in a Super flat world so i bet you can take a wild guess as to what’s been added in the snapshot so let’s go into superflat customize and if we now go into the preset menu you’ll notice if we click various different presets we have these extra flags so overworld has the most of Them stronghold biome underscore one village decoration dungeon lake mine shaft lava lake stronghold specifies you want strongholds to be generated biome underscore one is either biomes or ores i’m not entirely sure on that village obviously villages decoration is trees tall grass so on and so forth dungeon self-explanatory lake mine shaft lava Lake all self-explanatory so if you want to generate your own super flat world obviously i went over going and and specifying what block types you want in layers last time or a couple times ago now if you want these various structures generated and or trees so on And so forth you just specify which flags you want after you go over the various block types so cool new stuff and uh there’s also a new preset called redstone ready which is just a bunch of sandstone so it contrasts with the uh the redstone wire nicely anyway with these new structure Flags you can find things like a super flat field with bunch of tall grass flowers pumpkins over in the distance lava lakes as well as above ground strongholds how often you get to see that this was actually a seed posted on reddit so that was very helpful Is very cool you got the portal room over here your fountain and this actually also continues on underground so you can head down the steps and go check out the underground portion of it and uh it’s just a regular stronghold just happens to be poking out of the grounds Funky above ground uh library with floating bookshelves and everything and uh next to a village as well so i thought this was pretty cool and i wanted to share it just one of the many examples of things you can find with the the new super flat terrain generation flags that you can play Around with also got some new features back in regular world so why don’t we jump on over back to that now as you may have expected after seeing witches added a couple snapshots ago they’ve now been given their own little swamp huts so i’m not sure if all the huts spawn like this Over water still it’s pretty appropriate given the spawn situation over here but anyway witches can spawn naturally in these and uh inside you have a levitating cauldron and workbench i’m not sure whether or not that was intentional i think it might have been a little bug And they’ll probably be put down on the ground next time but you could simply interpret it as which is making things levitate with witchcraft so that works too i also got some mushrooms in the windowsills and yeah so this is where you can find witches naturally From now on now new to swamps in addition to witch huts at night you can find slimes so the slime spawning mechanics have been changed so that now they will spawn naturally in swamp lands at night time which needless to say makes it much easier to collect slime Balls and or find a pet jerry of your own even though he won’t be as good as jerry because no slime will ever be but anyway they have this nasty tendency of drowning themselves like this guy so he’ll probably just keep splitting into smaller and smaller slimes until they’ve All died from drowning anyway you can uh you can collect as many slime balls as you want for sticky pistons or whatever you use your slime balls for so on more of an unfortunate note it looks like the lighting engine that was implemented in 12w 39 the last snapshot has actually Been reverted to the way it was 12w38 and before that apparently there were some unforeseen difficulties with it so it’s being pushed out into 1.5 i think so for the time being the stuff that i went over in the last snapshot is no longer applicable and you may be running Into these black spots once again finally just a few minor changes to note starting off with the fact that the beacon block and beam have been retextured once again now looks like a little mini diamond block surrounded by glass with a big snake pillar thing Coming out of it i don’t even know all i know is it looks really trippy when you stand inside it so anyway there’s that also the fact that now doors levers buttons hatches so on and so forth you can only interact with them with a right click obviously it’s always been this Way in creative but in survival you were able to interact with a left click that works no longer and i would assume the purpose of that is so that if you’re playing survival you don’t get in the habit of using a left click and then go into creative afterwards and be like Oops i just broke my door instead of using it also the fact that it makes it easier to destroy things like wooden doors because previously you’d punch it and it would instantly go to the other position then you’d be like oops i’m no longer hitting it anymore so it would Just be kind of annoying anyway i think it’s a very nice change and might take some getting used to for for certain individuals but in the long run should be pretty helpful so anyway there’s that now finally just a couple changes to the way inventory Works in creative if you want to put any of these items in a certain spot in your hotbar say you want to put 64 oak leaves in slot number five what you can actually do is hit five while you’re hovering over oak leaves and it’ll just Appear similarly say we want a sack of jungle wood planks in our ninth slot we just hit nine while we’re over the jungle wood planks and it gives it to us instantly so that has been changed as well additionally you can now also shift-click items when you’re in your survival menu in creative So shift clicking will no longer destroy your items it will simply transform back and forth so that’s also very nice because i know i deleted lots and lots of items before by shift-clicking them when you couldn’t so that’s very helpful anyway that’s about it for this snapshot I hope you’ve enjoyed watching if you have a rating would be much appreciated other than that thanks for stopping by and i’ll see you all next time Video Information
