Game Changer: Minecraft Snapshot 13w24a Update

All right guys and here we are again the Ghost Squadron clock look at that pretty amazing latest Snapchat time to drink some milk yeah guys um as you can see um at the moment we have set up teams blue team red team I’m in the blue team and um so far it was

Like if you enable and show invisible you know teammates um you could fully see them now we have this cool transparency effect you know before it was like you see code Rider here and now it’s like Ganon and that is pretty cool that is pretty creepy kind

Of a ghostly effect how do I look yeah pretty ghost M77 ready to haunt you oh man it looks weird with the potion there pretty cool even if you go to your inventory right you look ghosty and yeah that’s that’s actually pretty nice so more polished looks like the resource system

Is done right guys um or the resource pack system we better call it it was a lot of work you can’t really see it but it makes a lot of cool things possible from now on you will be able to easily added your texture packs and edit sound files and even more and

So it’s an easy API and right now texture packs are broken again but dinnerbone was so friendly to add a fancy tool you can download it from the official Mojang blog post as usual there will be a link in the video description you can use that to convert texture

Packs so that should be fine um another crazy thing they did or I don’t know if I call it crazy but if You observe the sun in the background it kind of doesn’t change so there’s a new game rule introduced and you can now switch on and off the day night cycle if

We set it to true you can see yeah they continues and yeah you can literally uh freeze the sun which is actually super cool um a you know for game modes UHC we played it lately with um yeah the Perpetual sunlight Eternal Sun and also

Um if you want to do some nice recording you know you can um you have freeze the scenery for map makers and such really important um another thing we didn’t cover in last week’s Snapchat review video was the changes to the Mob Ai and I’m pretty

Sure we will see more and more of that in the future and but yeah we want to quickly explain to you guys what changed there it’s fairly interesting um probably if you guys play the snapshots you noticed the zombies got quite pesky so yeah let’s check that out

Okay guys so here is our test parkour and we want to find out how far the zombies can track officially is um say they can track players from more than 32 blocks away and we did some tests and it seems here around 70 blocks away from Thomas actually we have this butter Zone

Where they sometimes still track but sometimes don’t so this sky is going straight for promise he’s the only guy in survival mode so they are not tracking anything else but we never saw any of them really reacting outside although yeah these two these two are tracking are they yeah

Looks like it oh no the third one’s Autumn range let’s see if some of wow even from back here look he’s he’s going for it not all of them have the ability to track from far but we are like this is 75 blocks away ad85 so even out here

Let’s do some tests with with them about a hundred blocks out almost okay it seems they cannot track here that seems to be a bit far but Yep this one is going straight in that’s 85 blocks away wow that is really far okay right now we

Give them a straight line to walk on and it’s easy for them to track but here within 50 blocks they will almost every time Jump on him seems the further you go away and the Lesser or the less likely it is that it actually happens now you can see them

Rolling in there’s another thing added if you’re not looking they will spawn in allies so we might try that out as well um it is pretty pretty bright around here so normally they should not be able to spawn in so we’ll test that I promise is having a

Hard time maybe we can go to Peaceful real quick and reset it and promise um you face the other way just look away away from the glowstone towards the other direction and we will put down some zombies here and try if they may be spawning others I don’t

Know if if we are looking at them it’s affecting it and how rare it is if it needs to be dark you can’t really tell how is it feeling promise can’t look but um we saw it happening in previous tests we did we saw somebody spawning in in pretty lit up areas

So yeah oh carrot that’s pretty pretty impressive so they can actually also move outside the 30 Block radius which might open up some possibilities for Mob farms and such but yeah pretty crazy we will see so far only the zombies are affected it’s pretty cool there’s two more things

I want to mention the snapshot that there was a lot of discussions in the latest snapshots um it was about let me change my game mode here about oh they’re not tracking me the golden apples and so on the recipe got nerfed um well there’s a new um yeah buff in

There you get this health boost now as you can see I just consumed the golden apple and I have two additional hearts and this is a buff that will last you can see it here Health boost will last for 1 minute and 30 seconds so in PvP it

Is still a big Advantage which is pretty okay um other than that and there was a lot of discussions that potions are too weak now but with this health boost effect I think it’s more interesting again another thing that needs to be mentioned maybe we can demonstrate until real quick the squid

They were always drowning and you know when they’re in one deep water holes and maybe we can test it real quick get some squids in there and I need to drink something and they were also kind of hard to spawn and that seems to be fixed now

He’s kind of sticking out of the water a little bit before they used to suffocate with that and it seems Minecraft became way more squid friendly now nice so yeah I think we covered it all the zombie stuff that was already in the last snapshot this time it was a lot

About there the resource resource pack again and the transparity some game rules I think in the next few snapshots we will see some more new additions to the game and yeah Eternal Sun kind of cool I like it and that’s it for today we are out bye bye
