Insane Minecraft Updates! Epic Listener Questions! | The Block Party!

Hey you you should subscribe $1.99 a month you get access to the after hour show and so much more let’s get this party Started this is the block partum Minecraft podcast episode 110 we’re your host bearded sloth and little C I have no idea what we’re talking about probably Minecraft bearded SLO we have a Minecraft freefor all special the past week in Minecraft you listener questions and of course holy bookworms joke of the

Week you can find out all our information about the block party atth blockparty mc.com now let’s get the block party started yay you always give me tongue twisters free for all I don’t know why that was so hard for me to say but yeah it is a hard one it’s a hard

One but but we’re kind of opening it up and this is somewhat of a test you and I have been discussing changing the format of the podcast again yes not totally though we’re going to keep the change logs people like staying updated on that and it’s informative and all that we can’t get

Rid of holy bookworms joke of the week or we would be cancelled and I love listener questions who doesn’t so we got to keep that but the topic of the week what are we going to change how about we just open it up topic every week we’re

Going to hit the delete key on it and it’s going to be a freefor all Minecraft related every week it’s just the topic of the week basically is going to be Minecraft that’s it whatever you want to talk about listen this such an original idea no other Minecraft podcast have

Ever had this idea before right exactly but it opens it up that way whatever’s on your mind maybe I’m not paying attention fully and I miss something that’s going on in the week give us a call leave us a voicemail or text us or get on our Discord and leave us whatever

It is you’re thinking about that week that way we can talk about it we really want to hear from you the listeners and we’ve always said this is your show listeners we’re just here helping you out a little bit guiding it along which just the voic is in your head that’s

Right so we need you to participate and I think the best way is is to open it up for your own creativity and whatever you want to talk about so let’s get into this first testing session of the freefor all all right first one comes from

Advisory Labs I want to read this one because I looked at the end of it and I know how to do the voice for the end of it so that’s the whole reason I want to read this I’ll let you read the last line okay I’ll just read the last line that’ll work

L I love lore adding lore to your Minecraft build is one of the most fun ways to spice something up like my nuclear reactor is it nuclear or nuclear nuclear I can’t talk so I have a parent that corrects me on this all the time I

Still don’t know what the correct way of saying that is nuclear that’s how I would say it anyways like his nuclear reactor it has a whole host of lore behind it that I don’t think anyone has quite figured out yet sometimes I even try to cook up lore for other builds

Like the fact that I think little C is preparing for the apocalypse but hey that’s just a theory a game theory very good we could have got map pads clip in for there but you know that would have been cool and then I could have just hit a button and you

Know we got to do show prep for that and you kind of got to show up before 15 minutes after we start the show yeah 15 minutes after we start the show I like exactly yeah that’s pretty much you little see so the lore concept here

We’ve talked about this in the past I personally have a hard time getting into lore it’s just hard for me to I’m so matter of fact and functional but what if the lore is actually you not being able to get into the lore oh man welcome

To the Matrix little C do you get into lore I like it I think it’s fun cuz it can add character to a Minecraft world if you do storytelling through builds is what I like to do kind of it’s kind of like lore but I like to make builds that

Tell a story so I’m trying to build a little medieval village on my hardcore World on my Island I don’t really have a story yet but I know I want it to feel a very nice town so I’m kind of maybe I’ll use little decorations and stuff that

Each tell a bit of a story and and things like that you know the more I think about it though is it lore like I’ll build something right and I’ll think in my mind this is the purpose of it and I relate it to real life maybe I’m looking back at like

Season two and the first shop I built was a fishing check and I’m like see this somebody’s starts a settlement they need to eat they start fishing and create this shop and help others out that is World L right there so I guess I’m into lore a little bit Yeah I think

But it’s very particular I think everyone is to a certain degree there’s just different types of it there’s the more roleplay sign the dream SMP L manberg all of that stuff side of it and then you have the more of like what you’re saying there and I think both

Sides are cool and I kind of am in the middle of which side I’m on now his Reactor Core thing here his nuclear reactor in Jericho his base that thing is awesome I don’t know if I’ve seen it it’s huge okay and it’s really awesome yeah and yes I am preparing your theory

Might be correct I do live in a hobbit hole I’m just saying yeah he he does live underground I don’t know maybe he is he made me build a house though to make it look like everything’s normal it’s all normal nothing to see here I’m building a whole little maybe a whole

Base above surface is just a facade and everything’s really underneath but you’d never see that but hey that’s just a theory a game theory theory is such a good YouTube channel it is check it out if you haven’t our next comment comes from holy Bookworm I would like some

More types of things to farm I love farming I also have enjoyed making my various libraries in game in the game over the years I always thought it would be cool to name the books so you could see actual titles when you looked at the bookshelves so fun makes it feel like a

Real Library as far as Creations I think my church build on last season was probably the most epic one I have ever done I enjoy seeing all the cool things that people build in Minecraft and how creative they can be so I wonder if anybody has told her about the new

Bookshelves yeah but she’s saying have the names on the side of the books to make it look like actual books and a bookshelf yeah but does she know about book and quills that you can write a book and have them and then store them I agree with her though I think there

Should be a way to tell a small little text or even if you could Dy books what if you yeah I mean you can put the book in an item frame and rename it right that but that’s Sil fun but what if you rename the book and then you put it in

The new bookshelf there’s no way to tell though if you have a bookshelf full of them you wouldn’t know which one’s which right you’d have to look at it though that’s the problem I have yeah H I just kind of wonder if there might be a way to do this because they’re chiseled

Bookshelves right is what they’re called yeah so so they do have it where the game recognizes where you’re looking on the bookshelf now yeah I wonder if there’s a way to do this it’s not you’re saying actually print it on the side something printed on the side or at

Least if you could I’m thinking more of what they could actually add to the game so maybe if you could D it or add an armor trim to the book kind of thing yeah I like this yeah be hard to do with the two pixels but I think they could

True you don’t have enough pixels there to really make it happen now of course holy bookor loves her farming just go Play Farming Simulator it’s the same thing she would probably have fun with that yeah she but there it it’s a little more complicated than what she probably

Liked she does like games like Farmville back in the day she played a lot of that so there is those things the church she’s talking about last season that was cool I helped her build it a little bit but she did almost all of it I just kind

Of helped her guide along watching a YouTube video and helping her out a little bit did you like that church yeah it was all right it was a very basic Church it looked like a country church or something something we built before Jericho was a thing I forget what world that was

Called that was good but I I like that that was like right when maybe I should try to build that again build something way cooler than that you could do something you can follow a tutorial so well it’s not fair I can’t follow a tutorial I look at a picture and then I

Kind of been just like he I can’t actually build it off the picture I’m going to build something similar yeah I’m pretty good at following along I think a lot of that skill came from Lego honestly yeah I’m good at Lego though but I’m not good at watching video are

You you’re not great at following the direction even on Lego you can and you do but you prefer just making your own Creations even there sometimes yeah and you’re really good at that all right thank you for that comment there holy bookr next up is Chef sunshine I’m

Probably too late to chime in this did come in afternoon on Friday but that’s that’s okay we got you in but I have built a jungle Village of over 120 residents it’s track housing so something really fancy but I wanted an open trading to where they could come

And go they’re not trapped I’m still working on getting their jobs going but it’s fun for the next thing I’m going to do is do a swamp Village because I want to see it swamp villagers look like I had done this before the change in

Trading so I guess I’ve got a head start on that maybe so 120 residents 120 villagers that’s quite a lot that’s such a nice way to put it residence sounds so nice it is nice like they’re not forced into one by one squares on a honey block

So they can’t move now I so track housing I’m trying to understand what that is is that basically like house house house house kind of thing in a in a row I think yeah I’m not exactly play sure so feel free to clarify that in another comment we’ll get to it in one

Of our later episodes they are changing the villager trading and stuff so you do need your villagers from all different biomes or you just get every trade in the game before they update or you do that and get it done I think it’s still an experimental for now but it’s getting

Close I’m working on it in hardcore I’m trying because that’d be cool to have cuz I want to do both want to have my custom Islands I talked about with each type of villager but I don’t want to do that till the update comes out so right

Now I have my super op villager Hall with like every trade working on every trade now the swamp villagers are different because there’s no natural swamp villagers same with jungle right villagers and they’re cool the swamp ones they have purple on them is that what it is something like that like I

Think I really like the look of them though yeah villagers are cool I like that they’re changing them we’ll get into that a little bit later I think our next comment comes from IRL Nick Minecraft I agree that’s a great comment oh wait there’s more that’s all I saw

When it first came in this one came in late too I almost didn’t put it in that would have been almost didn’t put it in just saying this one came in extra late it did come in extra late I when he first put the comment because I get

Notified on everything that you guys s all I saw was Minecraft I thought that was all the comment what I’m like perfect comment I think it was for a while but then he edit he probably put it in to make sure he got into the show and then edited it actual response o

Just like yeah yep and then bedw Wars bedw wars is chaotic grind Sky Block I’ve been grinding iron on Sky Block I was inspired by watching some Tommy and it/ dream SMP and remembering techno in the potato Wars I don’t play a lot anymore just cuz having a life is better

This is fake news I have a job in money so I can actually eventually move out of the house unlike at little C haha I I don’t want money I like Minecraft better Minecraft is life I don’t know what he’s talking about here this is fake news I

Have no idea what he’s talking about it’s that guy staring fake news stuff so when he put SB Sky Block I’m like he got my name backwards my name is BS not SB it’s like on any driver license or anything that’s what your initials would be cuz they flip yes it’s sloth bearded

Sloth bearded yeah hello sloth bearded that works for me it it sounds uh distinct or or nice or something elegant sloth bearded Fancy no no all right yeah the bedw wars Sky Block is really cool okay is that where you have you start on one block and then you got to move

Yourself over or something not really one block but that’s a different thing but Sky Block this is talking different from the original Sky Block that we know this is Hypixel Sky Block which is super Advanced it has all kinds of boss fights different areas to go to all kinds of

Things there’s an economy it’s really complex it’s pretty much a game in itself I’ve never gotten into it just because it’s so complicated and my brain is not that big but it is really cool I probably should check out some of these other game modes or whatever you want to

Call them other ways to play Minecraft cuz I’m so stuck in survival all the time that’s all I ever do maybe I should venture out a bit shocking have add variety to my life whoa whoa thank you for those comments that’s basically what we’re going to do every week freefor all

Whatever it is you want to talk about so don’t wait for the topic of the week you don’t have to wait on me just get your comments in the deadline will probably be like you know Friday by noon Eastern Time us it might be a bit sooner because

Of the free-for-all so exactly if we get a bunch of comments we’ll just get them in and we’ll just kind of go from there and talk about whatever it is you guys want to talk about little see what do you want to talk about anything on your

Mind with Minecraft and stuff this week been going on playing Minecraft where one person controls the keyboard and one person controls the mouse absolutely sucks and it’s hilarious yes I had iral nickname hm wait didn’t he just have a comment hm over and we did a live stream

And we did that that was crazy that was fun so two player Minecraft on one account on one account yep we did well and then somebody decided to hit W while I was moving the mouse next to a ravine or something that’s kind of like those three-legged races or something that you

Have to do with people it’s pretty much you have to have really I am not at that that’d be funny you and me do it that could be fun PVP play Minecraft we can’t do it with controller though you’d have to do like keyboard or Mouse so there

Was we’re going to get into the updates here in a bit and there’s been a lot of lag issues apparently with the new Bedrock I’ve seen a lot of reports not on our server I haven’t noticed it I played a little bit didn’t notice any major problems but all over Facebook

Communities and stuff there’s lag everywhere apparently H yeah have you played bedrock at all this weeka played a little bit on a new world with another person like just a built-in multiplayer whatever and it wasn’t laggy yeah I haven’t noticed anything major so I don’t know what’s going on with that I

Am working on doing server transfer stuff so I gotta say when you move a server or move a world from one server to the other you don’t realize how much is involved when you have different custom add-ons and things like this there’s a lot in involved I’ve been

Working on that a bit I’m getting excited Minecraft we’ve got Minecraft Live start building hype there there’s been some rumors they have to update something major if they want the game to get another big boost of excitement I guess I agree with that they need to have a really hype update to keep

Minecraft I mean I don’t think Minecraft’s going to die but what I mean is die in the short term of like the next year or two I feel that’s how this last update it they it kind of killed the game even though it they added stuff

It’s kind of like we don’t want this we knew what it was for so long too they drug out all the announcements and stuff and gave us way too much info I felt way before and that’s part of the problem with the betas and the yeah and the

Snapshots is we get too much info instead of just being like shocked or surprised I do think there’ll be a lot of hype when they if they announce something big because that will help a ton yeah I think they know where they’re at I think they’re aware from what I can

Tell on like X and things like that what they’re talking about so I’m hoping that it is huge something like the nether update or update aquatic or something big like that what do you think it could be I think a big update to the end is what everybody wants and what could

Really bring hype but because of just how much people want it I’m thinking it’s going to be they’re going to focus on biome I’m hoping it’s going to be a biome update like another exploring based update where they update maybe savanas Birch forest and stuff

Like that yeah and don’t just do one do multiple at one time I think would be the way to go I’m just trying to think though because they have to make it hype you look at update aquatic that changed the entire oceans in any water ever and

Then you had the other update that changed the entire Dimension you had Village and pillage that changed huge amounts of stuff and now we’re trying to fix that still on trading and all that stuff because that broke that broke economies I feel pillagers well pillagers didn’t I think the Pillager

Part is awesome I like that part do you like it because it just adds a bit of chance and it adds it to it’s a random side quest because you might get the bad Omen effect and then you start a raid in a village and not accidentally so then

You have the side quest now or you’re like me and you do it in hardcore and then you just run away cuz you’re too scared to fight the raid and now someday I’m going to be walking through a random Village and die to a bunch of mobs and I

Kind of see it more on the other side people make like Pillager raid Farms yeah and that’s gamebreaking to me it’s just too over it’s just too overpowered but I you don’t have to do that and on the other side it’s just annoying to me it distracts me from whatever I might

Have my own goal that’s the cool thing with Minecraft I have my own goal set I can do what I want when I want and when a random event like that happens it takes the control away from me and I think that does a disservice a little

Bit maybe I understand the hype of it and now I just carry a milk bucket everywhere and that helps there’s ways to get a I but I think it is a cool way to make a little bit of a side quest and I think something other like that it’d

Be cool I don’t think Minecraft would do it but I’ve played a few mod packs where they make it into like an RPG game so you have complete quests that you complete this task list almost but you don’t have to do it you can still just play Minecraft but it adds these

Different quests like ra this certain area where I wonder if you just have a totally different game mode for that and that’ be the way to do it that would be cool that would be a cool update something like that something they could add game and it wouldn’t bring too much

Hype but it would for benrock players hardcore Bedrock I don’t know why they haven’t added it’s a toggle it’s a singular toggle everything is there for it they just have to add a a heart texture I think it’s coming yeah I think it is it probably is I don’t know why

They’re waiting to release it cuz I don’t think it’s a big enough hype item well we better keep the show going we have a lot going on today the past week in Minecraft all in from minecraft.net there were a bunch of them and big ones here yeah too

Many in a blanket this first one I think we can handle it’s Minecraft Java 1 [Applause] 120.22687 1.20 do30 actual stable release came out Tuesday September 19th 2023 leave it to bedrock Edition to have an extremely long change log and this is highly highly summarized by the way it

Was way longer than this little see so I could have made it worse first new feature here you died experience update improve death screen visibility hot bar always visible in settings accessible before respawn have you seen this yet I have I don’t like it one it’s just not

The iconic you died screen right and I wish I don’t think Bedrock ever had it but the experience of like how much you I don’t know if it was XP you gained or what but on Java you know when you die it has that number a score that score I

Think that’d be cool that would be cool you can get the old screen back it can be restored via settings just so you know so it is a toggle you don’t have to do that this if you don’t like it so just putting that out there next one was

Crawling this is a big thing that’s awesome been waiting a while for that crawling under one block gaps is now a standard feature no longer experimental in the actual game camera interpolation and server triggers for crawling improv so that’s just camera stuff recipe unlocking recipe unlocking now a

Standard feature and it’s togg per World refined recipe unlocking commands and notifications recipe unlocking game rule added optional game rule for limited crafting based on unlocked recipes I kind of like this idea that you can only craft things that you’ve unlocked the recipe for I don’t I think it’s kind of

Weird I don’t know I think it’s I wouldn’t do it normally but I think it would be a fun playthrough just like hardcore or something like that just to make it a little more challenging but I don’t think it makes sense cuz once you have the items you need to craft it

Anyways you can craft it it doesn’t really do anything to me well I’m thinking maybe like an adventure map or something so people can only craft certain items yeah but the way you unlock it is if you have the stuff to craft the item okay yeah I don’t know

How all that would work recipe book search enhanced search functionality for recipe book in survival mode so is there can you unlock recipes by finding books then of some or there recipe books is that what we’re talking about then no this is it’s just if you pick up let’s

Say a stick yeah then you’ll have the recipe for a torch okay H it’s I need I need to read a lot more about it so but anyways I you can toggle it on or off this is a big one this next one sleeping percentage game rule added game Ru to

Skip night B based on player sleep percentage I’m going to explain this a bit you have the game rule and I notice you don’t have to have cheats on or anything it’s just a game rule you can use all the time with Slash command so

Keep that in mind if you have it at over a 100 so 101 or something then nobody can sleep the night away it’s always imagine doing that on and just trolling people and then if you go so like one only 1% of your players if it’s at 50

That’s 50% so that means if you have two players only one of them if you have four two of them have to sleep for it to skip over if you go zero or negative number then it it’s basically instant as soon as somebody hits it it doesn’t go

Through the animation and stuff that’s my understanding of that but most people you’re officially you can’t have more than what 10 people on anyways in a realm or something yeah so you know you you can set it at one and only one person would have to sleep at that point

There are some vanilla parody things block breaking adjusted the breaking times of 188 blocks to align with Java Edition so everything’s going to take about the same amount of time so that’s that’s kind of nice for people that maybe play both like me so it feels the

Same on both sides that’s awesome parody for easier crossplatform compatibility in guide creation gameplay various gameplay tweaks including villager Behavior potion mechanics and block generation blocks adjusted crawling mechanics under slabs and parody changes for various blocks audio huge thing here improved audio adding missing sounds and aligning with Java Edition there were

Experimental features here villager trade changes this is all experimental stuff librarian villagers previously any librarian could sell any enchantment which was seen as too random now Librarians from different biomes sell specific enchantments Master Librarians offer unique enchantments in each Village biome players need to visit all Village biomes to access the full range

Of enchantments some enchantments are now only obtainable through other means this is still behind their experimental toggle so be aware of that but that means it’s getting close to the actual game some things here for the wandering Trader address concerns of unfair prices and limited useful items from the wandering Trader lowered prices

Increased available stock and added new trades wandering Traders can now buy various items from players that’s very interesting I like that so if you do find a trade that maybe you want or something you’re having trouble finding you can buy a lot more of it that’s a good change and the trades themselves

Are different that is I’m glad they added that because on wandering Traders it gets so annoying if there’s something you actually want which is very rare to happen because wandering Traders but when you do and then you can only buy three of them or whatever right and

Maybe it’ll make them a little B more useful than just for obtaining leads although they still be used for just obtaining leads that is true all right now back to the actual stable release fixes and changes diamond ore distribution increase diamond ore in deeper parts to incentivize mining in

The Deep slate layers I’m going to have to test this out I feel diamonds were already easy to mine diamonds are already I Min for 15 minutes with fortune 3 efficient you know a max out pickaxe I think there’s too many people complaining because everything costs more diamonds now that’s the point

They’re meant to be rare I agree but when I mine for 15 minutes so everyone whose argument is oh I don’t have that much time to play and I just want to work on building so it’s good to get op quick for 15 minutes of diamond mining

To get that was with a good pickaxe which took me not that long to get to be honest right and I got a snack of diamonds in 15 minutes right stop complaining exact L that’s how I look at it I think they’re they’re just listening to the whiners somewhat so

Stop your whining and go mining hey that’s a good saying stop your whining and go mining merch coming soon question mark yes quote all right I like that a lot actually somebody write that down performance and stability addressed various crashes and stability issues including one related to corrupted save

Chunks fixed out of storage errors and texture corruption on Xbox and a bug with local network games on Nintendo switch resolved crashes related to rendering resources and entering the world through the end portal back to the Overworld gameplay improved Mouse input on Xbox for better responsiveness breath meter now refills when swimming with

Head above water that’s a good change I thought it did that before but apparently not it does it’s just buggy okay various I don’t think that’s a good change it’s too overpowered because then you can just be skimming across the top of the water and swimming with full

Speed and never worry about drowning that’s okay I don’t think you need you can swim with your head above water yeah it just makes it easier I guess I don’t know various fixes and improvements related to camera clipping sneak crawl modes and creative mode functionalities going on with Mobs introduce new ways to

Tempt and interact with animals zombie villagers Now display correct professions when infected I like this a lot have you seen this I have not really so I saw a picture of a farmer and it was a zombie villager farmer and so they keep their professions I thought they

Did maybe on Java I thought they I pretty they’re supposed to but it it’s actually displaying correctly now fix issues related to mob interactions holding iller banners and more the blocks here introduced multiple fixes related to block behaviors crafting and interactions adjustments to block entities like composter and suspicious

Stew I think the composter by the way I think you like could get inside or something and cause like x-ray glitches I think that’s what they’re talking about there skull vibrations various fixes and enchantment enhancements related to skull sensors and their interactions with the game environment Realms addressed issues related to world

Downloads from Realms on PlayStation 4 and UI behaviors I know though few times I’ve messed with Realms and Playstation it never worked correctly like downloading worlds and stuff so I’m glad that they’re addressing this accessibility improve screen narration and introduce better alerts for player convenience so as much as they see seem

Like they want to care about accessibility they still haven’t added subtitles to bedrock I do not get it I don’t get it either touch controls adjusted touch controls functionality and fixed issues related to sneak input and crafting user interface multiple UI improvements and fixes including button changes icon adjustments and enhanced

Error messages audio adjustments and fixes to audio cues and sounds associated with Mobs and equipment and that thing was huge changes on Sounds by the way graphical introduce graphical enhancements fixes for rendering issues and adjustments to visual effects Marketplace added a feature for players to send feedback to Marketplace creators

Regarding purchased items I kind of like this so if you have a problem with something that you buy from a Creator on the marketplace and it just stinks or something you can let them know or if you like it you can let them I like it so whenever someone seals work on the

Marketplace which that would never happen I know would never be texture packs on the marketplace then we can uh you know make them remove it easier and complain more it is nice that you have kind of communication or maybe you find a bug in their map or something right

You can let them know that’s good creators at least for me when I make something like our add-ons or something I want it to be right so if if you find something that’s not right I want to know about it and the fact that the player then can communicate that to me

That’s kind of cool this is kind of a big deal here minimum supported mobile Hardware updated requirements for IOS and Android devices to ensure Optimal Performance and compatibility so if you have old phones or whatnot they might not work with this update oh what they

Did to your old laptop back in the day yep exactly so it’s happening on phones now but at some point they have to to keep the game going they have to but it kind of sucks it does because it’s like you paid for this and now you even if it

I think they should just let you play it even if it’s one frame per second they should let you play it and you then are like oh I need to get a new phone if I want to keep playing Minecraft yeah I I see both sides of that I just wonder if

There are limitations that it wouldn’t even like they wouldn’t even allow it on the marketpl or on you know the play store or something at that point and I wonder if there’s something to do with that but anyway so check see if it’s compatible or not now this was highly

Summarized there was so much more detail in all of that there were technical updates tons of those I’m not going to read those um but tons of them a lot to do with sounds and item components and how add-ons are made and things like that tons of changes there so be sure

You can check our description always have a hyperlink in there you click on that for whatever change log you want to read and it’ll bring you right to the official change log and you can read all the details if you’re into that see that wasn’t too bad was it little see I

Summarized it pretty well there’s more you’re still awake though not really all right there are more changes here we’ve got Minecraft Bedrock beta and preview so these are all the things they couldn’t make it into the update 1.20 40 22 came out Wednesday September 20th 2023 changes on this beta preview so

This is what’s upcoming change the default game rule value of respawn radius to 10 I think it always was five before I always set our worlds and Jericho to zero or zero or one yep so you basically spawn in the same place every time goat horns can now be heard

Up to 250 6 blocks away that’s awesome I love that like now I can annoy people so much easier on Jericho I don’t even have to be standing directly next to them and it kind of gives you a reason to have a goat horn because it does something

Nothing else can do it can make a sound really far away it can annoy your neighbors even if they live 256 blocks away that is true all right we have camel changes camels no longer appear to slide when walking a the the camels don’t moon walk anymore and that’s so

Sad camels no longer move their legs when standing still camels no longer Dash indefinitely when in lava I think I saw that that was hilarious autoc completing text now moves the cay to end of the line I have no idea what that’s talking about iron golems and Snow Golems now have a

Crumbling like particle effect when they are created flowing lava and water mixing mechanics now match Java Edition I didn’t realize there was a change there is that just when the flowing water is coming together I think is what they’re talking about maybe not sure Witch Is Now Target players within a 16

Block distance I’m not sure what it was before that doesn’t seem very far 16 blocks I would feel that they’d be able to do that already camera apis moved from beta to 1.6.0 uh bunch of things like that API stuff there updated all methods besides show on action form data message form

Data and model form data to be callable in read only mode yeah a bunch of stuff there as far as technical changes and fixes here fix a bug where the wrong side of signs would sometimes be edited that’d get annoying fix and extremely rare bug 0.003% chance that could cause item

Frames to not drop their item when hit or destroyed so it’s just very very rare bug that is not even that annoying because you could just hit it again and then it’ probably work right yeah I don’t know but or did it just disappear cuz that’s what I was thinking it was

Like you’d hit it and then it just disappeared it just seems stupid 0. that’s a really small chance but anyways they found there the whole time yeah who’s reporting that bug and figuring out that chance by the way it it’s got to be something in the code

Though to have an exact number like that fixed a bug where closing the game while having the portfolio open resulted in a crash fixed a crash on certain Android devices while loading into Worlds with the Deferred technical preview enabled disabled the Deferred technical preview on some Android devices that don’t

Support our current requirements for compute shaders there are some notes here about the editor we haven’t talked too much about the editor have you thought about this much little see nope looked cool when they released it never did anything with it so there’s some things there in the change log you guys

Might be interested in on the editor they’re still working on that I think it’s overall a good thing if you’re into that stuff so be sure to check that out we’ll skip all the change logs on that though and guess what little see we’re getting to Java Edition now there was a

Stable release Minecraft Java 1.20 two came out Thursday September 21st 2023 they do have a note here we are making some important updates to our player reporting tool to better protect the Online safety of our players playing Minecraft should be in inclusive safe experience for everyone which is why

Alongside in-game chat messages you will now be able to report player skins and usernames that violate our community standards in Java Edition oh great more of 1984 in Minecraft let’s go but just like before just like with chat reports nothing is automated any reported skin or username will be reviewed manually by

A team of train Minecraft moderators who will use the submitted evidence to decide whether the skin and or username is in breach of our community standards I love how they say they uh should be inclusive and safe experience for all players but then your Minecraft skin can

Get banned so that seems not very inclusive inclusivity is very exclusive and I’m just going to leave it at that skins that are in violation of these standards will be removed from Minecraft and will no longer be accessible for use by any player usernames that are in violation

Of these standards will need to be changed before that player can play online via shared server or realm though single player mode will still be accessible to find out more about this and other safety policies including more detail on the suspension procedure appeals process and how we handled malicious or repeat reporting visit

Their dedicated FAQ page which the links in the change log like I said you can get to the change log hyperlink in our description all right got through that features here in this stable release player and this is somewhat um summarized also player skins and names can now be reported in the social

Interaction screen if a skin or a name is reported and found to be violating the community standards our team of human moderators can actually in a few ways ban the skin from being used by any player ban the name from being used by any player suspend the player from

Online play in the case of repeated offenses when a skin is banned players with that skin will have their skin removed will be notified when they launch the game will be automatically assigned one of the default skins can still play multiplayer and single player I find this funny all the stuff they

Added on jav Edition the big or one of the biggest server Hypixel you can’t even chat reporting doesn’t work and I doubt skin reporting will work because they have their own engine for chat because they have all their mods and stuff for chat right and that’s just

Funny to me yeah I think it might be a liability issue for them more than anything and they’re just covering their butts H keep going here can select a new custom skin at any time when a player’s name is banned that player will need to choose a new name will be notified when

They launch the game will not be able to play online until they change their name can still play single player a skin or name that has been banned cannot be used by any player in the future I find it interesting that they’re saying they’re going to ban skins but it’s not like

They’re you can I mean you just change the name of the file right how are they going to know what skin is what the way the Skins work cuz I know this because of name see the you can see any player skin and how many people are using that

Exact skin right I don’t know how it works but I think it goes off of if you change a single Pixel okay so it reads the file of it and sees okay these pixels so if this exact pixels are all in the same location so you change one

Pixel and you can use this skin again or just change the hex code just a bit yeah right I mean it’s weird to me how they I don’t think they’re as capable as they make it seem let’s put it that way anyway let’s keep going with this changes here the calculations to

Determine whether a mob can attack a player or other mobs have been changed diamond ore is now generated more frequently in the Deep slate layers of the Overworld optimizations to networked play Kina a zombie villager now only gives a big discount the first time this is a big deal too this zombie villager

Trading thing which I do think they did this on Bedrock too SP sponges and wet sponges now have their own custom sounds barrier blocks can now be water logged by players in creative mode the positions that all entities ride on other entities have been adjusted to make more sense added the narrator

Hotkey accessibility option default is on added I want to report them player reporting category and oh I haven’t seen this one in a while removed herob they removed herob Brian that’s what it says here in the change logs official change logs I am so disappointed it’s

About time they got to it though dude I’m so disappointed that’s my favorite feature I might stop playing I know this is so mean experimental features the experiment screen when creating a world now has an option to enable the Villager trade rebalance when this option is selected some villager trades will

Change this experiment has no effect on on normal worlds you can find more information about feature toggles at their link Librarians cartographers wandering Traders armor and structure loot changes and there were about 200 bugs that were fixed in this release and of course there was more changes and

Stuff check it out in the official change logs so we’re not boring you not reading all 200 bugs I I could if you really want me to I’ll pull it up for you little see no that’s not all right we’ve kind of talked about this a little

Bit but let’s get into our past week lots of real life Trucking for me I think I drove about 2400 miles this week something like that I did mess with Minecraft this week I’m kind of working on moving Jericho SMP to a different hosting service yes we’re probably going

With bisect we’ve talked about that in the past I was testing a few things out before I move it over and I was actually planning on moving it the other night however my internet in the truck just wasn’t cooperating with me I don’t have official internet in the truck let’s put

It that way but there’s usually workarounds and it it just didn’t cooperate so I wasn’t able to get that done I’m hoping in the next week or so get that it’s not really going to affect any of our players except for I might have to shut the server down for a

Little while and then the server address and stuff will change obviously with the update that we just read on Bedrock uh there were significant changes so I need to find time and revamp our add-ons I think I’m going to kind of start fresh the way they’re working and stuff

Because there’s really not a need for our snooze pack at this point and a lot of our combo packs and things include the snooze pack you don’t need it with the game rule especially since it’s not behind cheats or anything I do want to confirm that with other people before I

Completely take it off the one nice thing about having this news pack still it does make it daytime a little quicker and I have the feature where it says like rise and shine and it tells you that basically good morning or whatever you know kind of thing in the message

And I’ve changed that over the years with this news pack but other than that not needed so probably going to take that off I did start a new world on the new server host just to try it out and I have so much fun with that early World

Grind that first day first night I’ve done it so many times testing worlds or whatever and it kind of makes me want to start my own single player world though you should is someone who always is like oh I like to play single player and has never played single player at all really

Besides a few kind of Worlds has never really had a full single player world it’s kind kind of funny maybe one of these days I’ll beat the dragon by yourself by myself yeah right maybe I don’t know so that’s kind of what I’ve been up to thinking about of course

American Truck Simulator but that’s not what this podcast is about the block party an American trucking simulator podcast maybe we’ll have to have a spin off or something we have talked about it on the after hour show by the way get your subscription we are going to add

Free very soon we need your support period that I can’t say it any differently I don’t know how to say it nicer we need your support go subscribe please $1.99 a month you’ll get the after hour show and our past episodes little see what you’ve been up to I live

Streamed shocking real not clickbait working 20203 wow he live streamed this week I had my friend iron nickname over I talked about that earlier and that was fun and I also streamed VR last night cuz I hit the sub goal so I did a VR

Stream and I got a real job because I worked at a gas station and job simulator so for any one of you that told me to get a real job there you go he got a job in job simulator bam it’s the real thing yep I agree the VR is

Pretty cool I haven’t done that in a while I I can’t do it for too long I ended stream just because I was getting a headache from using the VR for too much and it like makes me feel weird anything else you’ve been up to this

Week not a whole lot going on I guess the world not really pretty much same old same old let’s get on with it listener questions our first question comes from holy Bookworm how come there are no rainbows in Minecraft it rains and storms but no rainbows that would be

Cool for it to come out after a storm or rain like a little Rainbow pop up or something this seems like it’s something that could be done for sure I’d love to see this added to the game actually there’s a Shader pack I use on Java

Edition that does that and I love it after it rains it there’s a little Rainbow in this guy that’s cool so there you go there’s already mods making that happen our other question for the week comes from IRL Nick isn’t it so cool that we have texture packs and shaders

That have custom skies for features like rainbows and custom stars and sun and moon and such what what are your favorites he’s kind of sarcastic there isn’t he I don’t know I think he he might be calling you out there holy I don’t think there’s any sarcasm there

That doesn’t seem sarcastic that’s fully serious yep no sarcasm at all most of the time I use vanilla textures but some of the small quality of life fixes like dog mode and just a few vanilla tweak stuff and I like to use sers shaders I

Think that’s how you say it on Java and better RTX backend files stuff if I play Bedrock and I usually just play vanilla textures although for a while I was using textures like the old style the programmer art texture pack but on top of it I was using a I think the beta

Before that texture pack the old old textures on top of it so I was using and then I had updated old textures so any new textures after the texture update would be in the old style for a while I was using that oh okay now I have played

Around a bit with some of the sky texture packs uh but I never really liked any of them that I’ve ever tried I don’t know if I just haven’t found the right ones or there again it’s all Bedrock so maybe I’m limited I do like some of the official texture packs that

Would change things like the moon and the sun I have enjoyed those but I’m thinking the last time I’ve actually even seen that was back on Console days and I’m talking Legacy Edition stuff there probably I know a lot of PVP packs have Sky boxes and stuff okay I think

It’d be cool to change the sun texture to my face and then the moon texture to your face for Jericho that would be cool imagine let’s make that happen you’re the art guy so I’ll let you do that you’re the graphic guy I don’t know how

To do it so you can do it Mr add-on maker well I can make the add-on if you can make the textures I don’t know how to do the texture for the Skybox stuff if I get the file can you do it maybe okay you can do the artwork on it maybe

And edit it or whatever maybe we’ll work on that and do we uh release it as official addon no for TVP we’re not releasing that as a text know if you want to do this you can put it in our free-for-all comments just whatever you want to talk about there all right it’s
