Minecraft 1.16.2 Pre-Release 1 – Sideways Chains! Ender Pearl Improvements, New FOV Features!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another minecraft update video this is pre-release for 1.16.2 and as it says on the website they’re expecting a full release in a couple of weeks so no release date but it’s going to be soon and if you want to get caught up on

All of the things added in the update cycle between 1.16.1 and 1.16.2 check out the minecraft updates playlist in the description box below and this minor update cycle has been quite the exception from what’s normal we’ve seen the introduction of a new mob the pigelem brute and all sorts of

Feature changes and tweaks that are actually quite impactful on the game for example last snapshot we saw the ability to water log chains and this snapshot is no exception it has some interesting changes as well one being the ability to place chains in the other axes as well you know i could say

Sideways right but it’s both sideways in this direction at that that one and it’s all about what surface you place it on so if you place it on the top side the chain will face upwards the side it will face out it has nothing to do with how the player

Is positioned it’s purely done on what surface of the block you are clicking on so next up we have some absolutely fantastic additions to the accessibility menu i think this is just brilliant first of all let’s explain the problem when you get the speed effect from a potion or a beacon

It changes your field of view you can see we kind of zoom out that can be a little bit nauseous for some players there’s also the nauseous effect as well which is applied when you go for a nether portal it’s also a potion effect so let’s just uh take a

Step back and look at me here this almost feels like a cursed image of some sort look right into my eyes yeah not very pleasant and now you have the ability to control the drasticness i guess of these effects so inside the accessibility menu field of view effects and distortion

Effects and these are sliders so we can adjust them manually we’re going to go down to about 50 and then it’ll be half the amount of the effect so now when i get the field of view adjustment you can see it’s not as extreme as before even though we’ve been applied with the

Same amount of speed now when it comes to the nausea effect it’s the same thing again basically we’re going to step back here and you can see i’m not twirling as much as i did last time the next thing we’re going to do is go all the way down to

Zero on both of these so for field of view effects it actually just disables them entirely so you can see we get speed but the field of view doesn’t change i’m personally going to be turning that on whenever i play minecraft i feel like the change in the field of view is

Relatively irritating however when it comes to nausea there’s actually no twirling of the screen at all or should i say swirling what you’ll notice is that there is a green tint around the outside right you can press f1 and get rid of it but that is like an alternative effect for

Nausea which i think is a really cool idea so now when i go through this portal here you can see there is no swirling around on the screen let’s put this up to about 75 somewhere around there and step back in and you can see it’s like a normal

Nether portal just not as extreme next up a change to bedrock and enderman and i’ve been scratching my head over this one and i’m not really sure why this change has been made so if you’ve got an idea leave a comment down below it’d be interesting to see

Why mojang have actually done this but essentially endermen that are holding blocks and now not able to place them on top of bedrock so now what we’re going to do is fill in this platform with grass blocks and i make that dirt so many times i filled it with actual grass not the

Block this time i’m gonna get it right there we go grass blocks and we should see them start to place these blocks down there you go they won’t be able to do that on bedrock though maybe it has something to do with the end dimension portal blocks are often used in junction

With bedrock so maybe endermen are able to place blocks around them and block them off i don’t know just speculating also completely unrelated but 1.16.2 will probably be the end of the development cycle for this update which means that i won’t be posting some update videos for quite some time

So make sure you subscribe so that when 1.17 comes out you can find out about it first thing through this channel as you know what i’m going to do i’m going to cover all the snapshots and give you all the info so make sure you subscribe so if you subscribed thanks for doing

That and if you didn’t well thanks for checking out the video we’re now going to continue with the new features and this one gave me a serious case of deja vu and i think the patch note is referring to this feature being moved to this menu

So the chat delay option is now here let me show you what the chat delay is by spamming messages to myself okay once i spam a few you can see that there is a pending lines thing here and that just simply means you got to wait six seconds for each line to appear

Next up we have a technical change to villagers and how they keep their workstations so if you put a villager in the world it’s going to go over to an unoccupied workstation and then become that profession let’s uh open this up yeah cartographer right there so the change is if that villager then

Goes through to the nether dimension it’s going to actually lose its workstation why did you not go through you should have gone through okay there we go apparently if you create the portal on them then it doesn’t work that way you have to nudge them in anyway

You’ll see that this is now going to be available as we put down another villager and it takes up the workstation and becomes a cartographer i believe there is also another change to villagers in this snapshot it’s in a bug fix it’s a little unclear but essentially villagers that end up a

Long long way from their workstation may then lose it as the one that they are linked to and i think this distance is supposed to be around 100 blocks or something along those lines so you’re probably very aware of how piglins and piglin brutes are very protective over chests

In bastian remnants well another thing they’re going to be protective of over now is minecart chests if you open them or destroy them and there are piglets nearby they’ll come after you of course when you’re in survival mode now i think that this next change is going to be an unpopular one okay

These items were very easy to farm because you didn’t need a tool to get your sprouts and your roots and as you’ll see here they no longer pop off the funguses still do but this has been changed it’s listed in the bug fixes you needing shears or silk touch do you now get

These things which is like similar ones like when you bone meal grass for flowers and whatnot well not the flowers but at least the grass block right so you can see we can get it with shears and also silk touch is supposed to be the other way so

Let’s touch them no not with that tool am i saying okay well apparently it’s just sheers now so yeah personally i’m not very fond of this i kind of like that these things were easy to collect but now you have to use shears to pick up these items

And just so it’s clear we’re talking about these three items here vines are also mentioned in the bug report but the thing is they still drop about the need of silk touch or shears well we’re in the creative menu also banners they now appear very bright inside of this menu because

They were deemed to be rendering too dark now if you want to use your soul speed boots and hide the soul soil underneath slabs well rejoice because in this update you will be able to do that so any block that is lower than a slab for example a daylight sensor or snow layer

Will now actually work with the sole sand or sole soil below if you’re using this enchantment there is also a change to our beloved striders in this update you should see them actively try and get into the lava which is what i’m seeing right now if you’ve been playing in survival just exploring

The nether you can see striders out in the cold quite often and they don’t seem to pathfind back to lava it’s been considered a bug so you should see them attempting to stay in the lava more this next one is a rather big change to the enderpearl however it applies to

Projectiles that can be thrown like snowballs bottles of enchanting potions eggs those sorts of things and it also applies to blocks that don’t have a collision box that you can’t collide with so easiest example if i throw an ender pearl here you can see that we teleport into the grass

So now we’re gonna do that in the latest snapshot and what you’ll see is we actually go through so the changes that it’s going to go through items or blocks that don’t have a collision box you can see the snowball makes its way over to the other side

This issue also relates to bubble streams as well if i throw an egg straight across here it just makes its way downwards and lands on the sole soil so if we do that with an ender pearl it should be also quite obvious i get teleported to this spot

So testing this out in the latest snapshot you can see the projectile gets taken upwards now what will happen with the ender pearl i reckon this might lead to some useful contraptions because that thing’s probably going to end up suspended right look it’s just going up to the top so

Yeah there it is we’ve got our ender pearl bobbing up and down on the surface if i then go and put a block below it yeah it falls down and teleports me there that is surely going to have some sort of use being able to throw an ender pearl into a water stream

And then have it taken away in the water to another location that that could surely lead to something cool there are a couple of technical changes in this update as well custom world generation and dimension settings now use the same folder pattern in the data packs as other resources and here’s your example

Right here and when it comes to custom dimensions and data packs if you’re creating a fresh new world and you add in a data pack it can now have the power to override the overworld the end dimension the never you can replace those dimensions of your own custom dimensions

When creating a fresh new world now let’s get to the bug fixes if you have a zombie villager inside of a minecart and bear in mind it’s probably not actually going to get in there and you convert it into a villager it will actually pop out of the minecart and be free

So the change is when the entity changes inside of the minecart it should now stay in it there were also a couple of inconsistencies with raids and how they end so if the last villager alive in your raid got hit by lightning unfortunately and turned into a witch you could still get the

Hero of the village effect and sometimes all the villagers could be dead but if they still had a workstation and a job site then the raid would continue indefinitely so that’s another raid issue that’s been fixed so you’ve made it to the end of

The video if you want to leave a like it will support the channel and as always i thank you for doing that and just bear in mind if the pre-releases now start to get really small i might just group them together like a few of them into one video or cover them

On my second channel i don’t really know at this point because sometimes you end up with not a lot to talk about anyway that’s it from me this video thanks for watching and i’ll see you next time bye
