Hardcore Minecraft Update: Brace Yourself for More!

Minecraft 1.19 is officially coming out on tuesday but funnily enough we’ve already started to see baitism previews for 1.19.10 the first bug fix or minor update that’s coming out after that and funnily enough they decide to update the death screen so you’ll know what you actually died off which is exciting by

Itself but you’ll also notice this is a major parity change to make it more like java by having this death screen that actually takes control of the game and is in a very different form an immediate question that comes to mind for a lot of people is do i hear hardcore mode in

1.20 for bedrock and the answer is that yes it’s significantly more likely now because both spectator and hardcore have been on java but not bedrock for a very long time and we’ve saw the kind of behind the scenes uh sp spectator kind of come out during the base process 1.19

That looks like a feature they’re clearly aiming for 1.20 and so maybe at the same time as adding one lost game mode maybe they can add the other one of hardcore we still don’t know 100 certainty but this death message takes us just a little bit closer uh speaking

Of a little bit closer this last week’s been very exciting for minecraft 1.19 and something king nong has been asking is the big question of like so did you see that question mark at the feature select animation it’s been appearing in all of the teaser trailers that

Minecraft has been putting out this week i’ll show you some examples uh more examples here um but obviously if you look at it you could see that as being oh there’s the eight major features in this update then there’s one mystery feature they just haven’t revealed yet i

Think it is entirely possible there is a mystery feature inside of minecraft 1.19 something so secret that we genuinely won’t know until release but i think it’s a very very very very very low likelihood and the reason for that is that we’ve seen our first official release candidate for java right now i

This is going to be the actual update they release on tuesday or at least so they say and it doesn’t include anything secret or at least nothing’s been discovered yet i mean obviously it could be so secret that we haven’t even found it um but the little question mark in

The center is much more likely uh you know to my glance to just kind of be like when you’re going to a fighting game selecting uh whether it’s super smash brothers or street fighter there’s always that question mark random select character and so that’s what i think

It’s going to be it’s it’s trying to be like a fighting game and so they’re just showing off eight random features around that question mark random feature thing uh but maybe there is something they have to show that we haven’t seen yet i just think it’s kind of unlikely just

Like how i thought it was unlikely that more people would be like your boy stride who says i’m really bad at sticking to one survival world does anyone else relate i figured that if there was one channel on the internet where people like their long-term worlds it’d be this one because obviously

That’s something i stick to really big uh with my let’s play world however according to the poe i ran on my youtube channel what’s the first thing you’ll do 1.19 comes out um a lot of people are gonna play around the deep dark mangrove swamp and la but sixty percent of just

My audience just people who’ve subscribed or at least see my youtube posts will say they’re starting a brand new world which is crazy it seems to show a lot of people are in this boat of just yeah wanting to start a new minecraft world every time they have a

New idea and i guess in that way it’s like having a bunch of different paintings on different canvases as opposed to having one giant mega painting of all of it combined um but i i it’s something that i still find to be a little bit perplexing because to me

The joy of minecraft isn’t all of these accomplishments that you’re adding up but maybe uh you know next week we should just play around with new worlds uh just to get that feel that everyone loves speaking of feels everyone loves where is the find an ally to murder on a

New world option was another comment i received on that and my god the fact that there’s more than one of these comments uh just says that you’re all monstrous uh murderers and i’m glad that you can’t actually do that that’s right allies cannot be attacked once you’ve

Tamed them yeah good luck killing your allies they can’t even be your friends when you kill them yeah that that’ll show you his boss by the way sss uh because you know i’m talking about all these minecraft 1.19 features i’m talking about my excitement for this and

Uh his response was why are you defending mojang minecraft is dying with every update every update has less features than the last or at least if you include 1.17 as 1.18 is the last update and with all of that they have the balls to spend an anonymous amount

Of money on marketing and giving dlc to the marketplace and minecraft dungeons if they continue like this minecraft will die they shouldn’t be you shouldn’t be encouraging it maybe i think he’s saying it gets a little bit poor on the spelling there but it’s a really good question why am i defending mojang

Because i mentioned in my last video maybe this is actually an intentional move and it’s really smart on their behalf rather than spending lots and lots of time in an update spend less time on the update and then spend the you know the resources saved because obviously that’s six months of salary

Instead of a year and then spend it on marketing and now you get a better per update return and obviously when you look at the other things that they are definitely spending big on uh minecraft dungeons or the marketplace or just marketing as a whole um it’s because

Those are actions that are likely to generate the money in return and if you think about it yeah to a non-minecraft player what’s the difference between a big update and a small update one that’s amazing and really uh gets the expectations rolling high what’s the difference between the best update ever

And a pretty good update that has a compelling concept honestly not too much i guess i was trying to say that from a business perspective if you’re looking at the short-term cash generating view why does it matter if they’ve upset a portion of their community if they’re

Still going to be doing well in terms of the revenue or in fact they might be doing better in terms of revenue this seems like it’s uh you know the amount of money they’ve dropped to marketing stuff at this update it makes me think that they uh do know that this is gonna

Be a big draw to get people back into the game and to get people who haven’t bought minecraft to buy it in the future which of course is the real point of updates to some extent uh i’m giving you a free update is nice and it’s a kind

Gesture but getting someone who hasn’t bought minecraft to go oh now now it has that i guess i’ll buy it is really one of the big draws i it’s been mentioned before the big minecraft sales spikes happened just after an update so yeah from their perspective maybe upsetting

The community is worth it if you get the the big sales boost but i would say that that only works for so long and to whoever is in charge of the finance or the marketing or the you know the big decisions about uh how these things go i

Think it is very important to keep your core community happy and i hope the ceo or the studio head so that whoever is actually making uh the big decisions in the end actually does consider this by the way uh loot trips asks okay so what if the warden teaser was a marketing

Ploy hear me out announce a new boss delay it add more features to create hype delay some more add some more create more hype this keeps looping until the final product is ready to play um and then the final product is just what was planned in the first place this

Is an interesting part of minecraft development and i i don’t know if i necessarily agree that they were always planning to spend two years working on the warden but given that from that trailer from two years ago the one bit that everyone remembers is the warden maybe you’re less excited about seeing

The copper or whatever else is in there by the way because they canceled the copperhorn and the copper golem didn’t win the mob vote we don’t really have many uses for copper and uh most people uh don’t get too hyped for it which maybe shows uh why i guess listening and

Being like active with the feedback but there’s an interesting thing about trailers right in the the trailer tells you immediately which features people are most hyped for and which ones people didn’t respond to well to i would say if you look at the wild update like yeah

Some people hyped for the uh the the deep dark by itself minus the warden some people are hyped for the mangrove swamp and the chess boats but very few people found the mud bricks to be their favorite feature and so using the trailers are an interesting way to like

Gauge people’s interest and given features because you actually get see in a kind of like gameplay style perspective so they knew that the warden would be important so they focused a lot of attention on that whereas they knew that the the lightning rod just had to detect lightning and so they didn’t need

To elaborate they just added it’s the game as it was i think that one of the big problems of how they announce updates is they do very early version builds they do the bare minimum they can to get something showable to the public and then from those things that are

Showable to the public people expect them to all be the finished versions that come out in six months when in reality i don’t think many people are excited about um you know to pick on a feature uh that i know a good friend of mine or wrath likes uh

You know the goat many people weren’t like hyped for this as its feature by itself or to pick a recent example the birch forest update didn’t really get most people going it was just seen as like oh yeah that’s also there until they later canceled it um i would say

The fireflies are somewhere in between on that where everyone ever made memes about how useless the fireflies were going to be and then they removed the one use they were going to have you know being eaten by frogs and so they’re like why should we add this to the game the

Issue there of course being this uh this conversation between uh the community and developers should developers consult the community about features like this and update obviously um if you consult on every single feature ever then you’ll get something made by you know a million people and it’s going to be very loose

And bland you know to have a certain amount of interest you need to have these artistic designs where someone just has this great vision and they want to add it but also sometimes someone has a really good vision and they spend weeks or days or months working on it

And it turns out that it’s not very good which of those features should be cut and which of those features should be kept should every feature work done in minecraft just stay to the end you know should they have added fireflies even though they were going to be useless

Should they have just updated the birch forest very quickly at the end to have no use besides visual uh these are the questions you can maybe consider and i don’t know what the answer to any of them is but i think that mojang at least is going to be internally thinking about

More of them and so uh yeah 1.19 very interesting time but to move off that subject i recently posted uh on youtube posts uh talking about my little search for an apartment i accidentally uh i started searching for an apartment on i think it’s what’s it called memorial day

It’s one of those weird american only holidays anyway so uh because of memorial day it was a little bit tricky so i was searching for an apartment i post about this and i just want to use now to get something off my chest that i

Don’t know if i can talk to and then when i ask my life but people on the internet have this real big problem of being confidently incorrect and sometimes it’s actually like painful and confusing and so yeah this was on my post where i said i was looking for an

Apartment and apartment by the way now found so this is my bedroom it’s very clean and by the way i just love the floor space like look look how much space you get in a bedroom in america it has itself i mean it’s obviously right

Now being taken up by my little ad hoc office but it has its own kitchen its own bathroom i pay for it every month you tell me if that makes an apartment uh dear internet but in the in the meantime allow me to show you some comments which have actually done

Precisely that apartment i think you used the wrong word an apartment is a permanent residence lol ah man i i did not realize that apartment was only true if you intend to live there forever if you live somewhere for less than forever it’s not an apartment it’s a

It’s a place are you you idiot and then i got another one from black rose cora apartment that’s a permanent term meaning to move i’m confused are you moving to the u.s again there is no way to live in an apartment for any amount of time that isn’t permanent or

At least that’s the message being sent right here i genuinely don’t know how people get like this level of confidently incorrect about something like i i because it does you know i could understand like oh yeah apartment is for when you’re staying for more than say a week at a time because you

Wouldn’t rent an apartment for a week um whereas a hotel is something you rent in that time but obviously airbnb exists so you can rent an apartment for a day if you really want obviously you’d be using it more like a hotel but it’s technically an apartment still right and

If you’re staying in one for one month what if you’re staying in like a holiday-style villa for a week i mean i mean there’s all these different terms but like you know to kind of like gay people and say ah you use the wrong word if you’re not living there forever

Unless you die in that place to cat it’s not an apartment it’s a temporary residence and like okay i’m sorry i didn’t mean to offend you internet i didn’t realize that the apartment isn’t a real apartment i’ll have to go uh let the people who own it no i guess if you

Are curious this is a temporary uh rental i will be bouncing a little bit back and forth between the us and the uk this year uh it looks like at least for now that will link that will be vegas as the part of the us in case you’re

Curious and um yeah next year i’m at least uh very heavily considering and looking into uh the options regarding visas and whatnot to make it a more permanent thing especially in the post covered world um whether that’s a good idea to do it in vegas which has

As i’m recording this it’s 36 degrees celsius i’ll put that in fake degrees for you right now uh people who enjoy those it’s it’s very hot all of the time and i don’t like very hot all of the time but yeah i like the city here a lot

It’s got all of the upsides of a big city but it’s not actually very big it’s like i don’t know a half an hour drive from one edge of the entire valley to the other it’s surprisingly reachable but yeah i have to start asking questions like oh what about a car you

Know like renting a car for like a month makes sense but like what about for a year you can’t rent a car i mean you can rent a car for a year but should you so there’s lots of questions i’ve got to consider and if you’re curious that’s

What i’m going through in the background while of course trying to make sure these videos go every day speaking of every single day didn’t we get a brand new update in less than six months i think that’s amazing turnaround time honestly yeah it’s smaller but it’s more

To do i imagine 1.20 will be bigger and we should hear about it soon right i do have to say this is kind of a true thing like if you look at 1.19 not as just being a major update because of course it’s going to come short of the updates

That took a longer time but if you take a look at a six month style update the world update does have a lot more features than the last six month style update which was the buzzy bees update by the way which is best i can tell it’s

Like bees and honey and that’s about it so this update does a lot more in a decent amount of time and if this is the start of their move to a six month cycle hopefully there’s a lot of efficiencies because they haven’t really been adding features to 1.19 for the last month and

A half really and so hopefully they’re working at 1.20 now uh but it’s also possible it goes the other way in that they’re so uh you know like uh demotivated or burned out or whatever the word you want to use is uh that after 1.19 comes out we wait a whole six

Months just hear the announcement 1.20 i hope that that’s not true i do believe that 1.20 is probably going to be a bigger update with a theme that they have you know been deliberately kind of working on a little bit in advance but who knows for sure um we will only know

After 1.19 has come out and i know i’m going to get a ton of questions before then but again it’s important not to be too preemptive on this stuff uh 1.19 is going to be coming out on tuesday and also 1.19.10 and all of the other minor version updates might start adding

Different things if they’re already looking at adding the parity menu screen etc so there are going to be exciting things between now 1.20 by the way fastly bizlimi asks about the most important of all of them super flat live when so while i’ve been in the us the

Last two weeks of yukirus um i obviously haven’t been streaming because i was doing a bit of a road trip as a fun uh thing uh i will be flying back to the uk on wednesday literally the day after the update comes out they timed it very

Inconveniently for my my plans but i’m flying back to the uk on wednesday which means thursday which is usually my stream day i can do some form of live stream it probably won’t be super flat live it’ll be something to do of the warden i imagine i want to play around

With him a lot but episode 26 of the super flat live series will be coming in not too long for time if you want to make sure you catch it you can of course subscribe and by the way big news i believe i hope that tomorrow will be

Seeing the uh day 256 recap of the survival superflat series seriously 156 days i’ve managed to condense down into less than an hour for those of you who can’t catch every single live stream and just want to see what’s been going on or if you have watched the live streams

It’s also fun for a lot of people to catch up but in either case i hope you all enjoyed this video i’m gonna go climb a mountain in this 36 degree heat because i’m an idiot and i’ll see you next time goodbye You
