FIRST 1.20 Pre-release: re-dye wool, Deleted accounts, NERF speedrun and parkour, RNG change

Hello there right here we have the very first pre-release for 1.20 version so after snapshots comes these pre-releases after pre-releases come release candidates and then the actual full release so we’re very close to the full release probably within a month or so and with pre-releases they’re mostly

Going to focus on bug fixes but in this one we got some new features as well as some controversial changes let’s see what this all means for the game and be sure you guys leave a like and are still subscribed guys we finally got something we’ve always wanted and that is a recoloring

Stuff so we’re able to actually put in any type of color wool such as like blue wool and it put die with it to recolor it to a different color wool this also works for carpets so you have a whole bunch of certain colored carpets you can

Re-dye them for something else and beds you don’t have to re-craft beds from a special dyed wool you could just dye them to whatever color you want this is a really nice quality of life update and I’m glad they brought it to wool because it is somewhat realistic in real life

You can like re-dye wool it’s not even a complicated system it’s not like you have to remove all the dye from like the blue dye like washing it or anything to get it back to White before dyeing it now there is a lot of different items in

The game that are covered so I’m guessing people are gonna request that you can recolor these other items as well so do you think they should allow it so that you can pretty much recolor any item in the game they changed some death messages such as like the world border

If you happen to go through the world border and you go all the way out a bit too far you start getting damaged now when you die here you’re not going to die from suffocating in the wall instead you’re going to die from a different type of damage which is called outside

Border damage which gets you the message Reyes left the confines of this world even though I was the first person to reach all 12 World borders in survival it’s unlikely for most people to reach a world border as it is out 30 million blocks but with commands you can move

This in closer they also changed how the kill command works now it’s actually considered a generic kill so if we actually die from this we’re no longer going to die from being outside the world but it just says was killed you also change how the randomness is occurring within loot tables such as

Inside this Trail Rune structure here we got some suspicious gravel and we look at the actual block we can see it has a loot table seed and this is the seed here and also has a loot table which is this number here so now the game uses the name random sequence to determine

The products of loot tables each random sequence produces a unique sequence based on the world seed but not only the seed it also uses the sequence ID which means a loot table will produce the same result when Rand in the same parameters in the same world there’s a special

Field where you can modify this this allows speedrunners get the same loot each time they open the same world from the same structures you know honey blocks will hold on to players and move them when they move with pistons well with last week’s change the stickiness of a honey block

Also applies to the very edge now so even if you have a little piece of you touching the honey block it was supposed to stick onto the player and move them but it wasn’t actually doing this so in today’s version it fixes that so even if you’re standing just on a little piece

Of it it will also move you this is actually quite useful in areas like here in my fly machine which breaks down all the cane and collects it using the top of mine carts I would have had the top of mine carts on top of some honey blocks down here except because the

Center of them wasn’t touching any part of this block over here it wasn’t actually moving with the machine and sticking to it but with today’s change we can now actually have the hopper Minecarts on the edge of Honey blocks and they will properly move forward and backwards with fly machines and there’s

Many other cases like this where you can get more Precision on where you want stuff to stay what other places might this be helpful with the last week’s change were the blocks that are barely touching the player will actually slow them down as long as there’s air beside it this was

Applying to most entities except for there was one that I noticed wasn’t actually working and that was to do with the actual items so if the items were like placed on the very edge of ice they weren’t actually getting the slipperiness of ice the same thing for

The other block properties so during my live stream I made a bug report and the bug was fixed today so now if only a very small part of the item is touching the ice you still get the slipperiness of it which you could use for item aligning when transporting items into

Storage systems but keep in mind blocks only pick up the properties of the block beside them if there is air water to the side of it so if there’s a hopper block over here since items mostly on top of the hopper it’s not going to slide on

The ice because it’s mostly on top of this block over here so it’d only be helpful in edge cases pun intended but the change to how a supporting blog under entity can affect how they can move what’s actually causing the game to completely freeze when loading certain areas because let’s say there’s a

Villager in a village the game would say there’s a villager then it would have to check to see what type of block is underneath of the Villager but the game itself doesn’t know exactly where the Villager is yet because it’s being loaded in therefore it can’t determine what blocks actually underneath of it

Which would cause this Loop of freezing which is resolved in this pre-release I recently just made this shorts video here where I showed some cool tricks that you can use to avoid the change of walking slower while being on the edge of blocks now this cool little trick

They found wasn’t actually fixed but an older trick that’s used by parkour players where you can actually avoid the effects of blocks altogether where when you jump off the blocks there’s a short period that you’re not technically on the Block but you’re still able to jump

And in this moment if you do a jump you’re able to avoid the stickiness of honey and make a normal jump where normally you’d be kind of stuck to it and it turns out that apparently they didn’t want this in the game because people would be avoiding the honey

Stickiness and therefore they actually fixed it in this snapshot which is actually a pretty big deal because parkour players use this quite a lot this could potentially completely change parkour as if there’s a block above you a lot of times you have to be completely off of the block before you’re able to

Actually jump but does seem that you’re able to make this jump so maybe they just did it in a way that affects honey blocks so if you’re a parkour player let me know if you notice any difference when making different types of jumps and how do you think this will affect the game

When it comes to portals giving you this animation when going through it notice that the animation sticks with you when you pop up on the nether side animation is still playing here in front of your face you might think of this as normal but back before version 1.4 which is way

Back in the day the portal animation once you actually went to another side wouldn’t it pop up in your face this is how it’s supposed to be meaning one of the oldest bugs in Minecraft from almost 11 years ago has finally been resolved and will no longer have this annoying

Swirly animation when coming through the other side of a portal meaning we no longer have this blocking review when trying to go out of a portal this is especially going to be nice when you come to the other side and you’re trying to place the blocks if you’re up in the

Air on a portal you don’t have all that crazy animation and blocking your view speaking of Nether Portals there’s actually bug in the previous snapshot when you’d go through another portal the nether Dimension wouldn’t load properly which was fixed in this pre-release so with the rework of the Ender Dragon in

1.9 you could re-summon the dragon using ender crystals but if there happened to be an ender crystal that was actually already in the world when the end Dimension tried getting generated it would realize that the portal in the very center shouldn’t actually have a dragon here but instead just default it

To being pre-lit this was probably done when updating Old Worlds to the new dragon setup but this had the unintended consequence if you happen to enter the end it plays down any Crystal yourself you could just prevent the dragon from ever spawning and then just immediately make the exit end portal already be

Complete so it wouldn’t even have to kill the dragon to reach the end credits and this is used Now by speedrunners who run the Minecraft Glitch category where you can use this glitch to essentially skip killing the dragon and reach end credits which is the objective of those

Minecraft speed runs so 11 versions later they finally fixed this so you can no longer skip the dragon fight just by placing down an ender crystal this won’t affect the main speedrun categories which you don’t use glitches but the biggest impact being on the set exceed

Any percent what do you think about them fixing really old bugs that most people never run across but are used by prominent areas of the Minecraft Community like speedrunners it also fixes a really annoying bug which is if you’re in normal walking mode just walking on some blocks and then you

Decide to go into spectator mode your player actually drops down a partial block for no apparent reason and I actually talked to one of the Minecraft developers about this because this could be really tough to work around when you’re trying to do precise measurements and then when you actually come out of

This game mode your player is also now stuck in the block underneath instead of being on top of it I’m quite happy that this is now fixed I don’t worry about falling through the ground when breaking a block this animation here which is the destroy animation was different if you’re watching it yourself

Or someone else watching it notice this little pixel right here shows up sooner from other people watching you break the block than you yourself this pixel is missing this meant that the last frame of braking would actually just vanish and other people would just see this

Block they look like it wasn’t mine were you the player would actually just finish mining it and then only then would it remove the tire block this is why a multiplayer service a lot of times look like they’d be delayed between the player breaking the block and the actual

Block dropping so they adjusted this so it’ll show that it’s fully broken just before the block vanishes you also fix a wide variety of different bugs related to text and Graphics all throughout the game they’re resolved encoding errors for the server properties and made different strings on Realms now translatable

There’s actually a deadline for upgrading your Minecraft account from the Mojang account to a Microsoft account this is the one where if you would upgrade your account then you would get the cape in game but it also said they had the benefits of having your single account for all the

Different Minecraft games two-factor authentication as well improved player safety and you’d automatically get access to bedrock edition if you had a Mojang account so once September 19th comes around 2023 you’ll no longer use your account to log into minecraft.net or the launcher in order to migrate and

Even two weeks prior to that they will no longer have support or migration related tickets which makes it sound like you won’t be able to migrate your account after that date which would mean essentially your account is unusable even though in the frequently asked questions it says if you don’t move your

Account you will need to move your account or risk not being able to play the game which doesn’t sound as severe so hopefully people that come back to play the game after several years are still able to actually have their account and continue playing it and don’t have to like completely buy a

Brand new one for most people it seems that they think that your account will get deleted essentially what do you think of this change do you think they’ll just force people to buy brand new accounts now join me live over at my twitch live stream where you can play

Along with me as we test out all these cool features and discover new tricks and glitches I do it every Wednesday Friday Saturday and Sunday at 2PM Eastern or check out this video about crazy tricks I found over the last 14 years or this one all about the new 1.20
