Minecraft 1.19.4 Vanilla Tweaks – New Zombies & Spinning Skulls!

Minecraft 1.19.4 was released earlier this week and I think it’s about time that we did a vanilla tweaks update video yes look at this it’s actually been over 10 months since we last covered all of the changes and updates to vanilla tweaks but first of all let me answer the

Questions some of you might be asking what is vanilla tweaks if you have ever watched my hermitcraft series you may have noticed that certain textures are tweaked and changed and there are other features like bushy leaves that I use when I play on hermitcraft as you can

See these are resource packs but vanilla tweaks is themed around keeping the vanilla feel of the game together so a lot of the tweaks and changes that you see are very subtle like the minor changes to the textures of the dark oak here best of all it’s a resource pack

Picker meaning when you want to use this you get to choose exactly what you want to tweak and change inside of the game so here is the website that will be linked down below you can also find crafting tweaks and data packs which will come to at the end of this video

And then resource packs is where the resource pack picker is so to give you a quick tutorial you can pick the Minecraft version you want to create your resource pack for at the top here all of the tweaks that you can select are split into different categories that

You can open and close and then make a selection when you hover over a selection on the right hand side of the screen it’s going to give you a visual preview of the changes that the resource pack makes and if you want to select everything from a category you’ve got

The pickle button right here now you may notice that these have now been highlighted with different colors if you hover over them they’ll tell you what the incompatibilities are and you also have control over what order these resource packs are put together so you can drag them up and down to change the

Priority of one over the other and of course when you’re done with your selection you can click the download button here and if you need help knowing how to install resource pack there is a page here explaining it all and if you’re using a 1.19 version that isn’t

1.19.4 you’re going to see a error message when you use the resource pack this highlight here is just letting you know you can safely ignore that so with the quick tutorial out of the way let’s now get into all of the things that have been changed and updated between this

Video and the last one and I won’t be covering absolutely everything because there were just so many small and minor tweaks fixes and changes to many of the different packs so that this serve as a reminder to update your vanilla tweaks data packs you can actually drag and

Drop your one into this here and then it will select all of the things that you have selected in your resource pack so the point is that there are so many small fixes tweaks and changes to these resource packs you should basically update your pack as if you’re starting

Again from scratch just to make sure you get all of those different fixes and if you’ve had compatibility issues between certain packs in the past well it’s worth having a look again because a lot of these have been made to be compatible with one another for example the old

Planks which now includes the mangrove wood is compatible with the variated planks these no longer conflict another example would be bushy leaves now compatible with wavy leaves plants and water and the unobtrusive back invisible totem is now compatible with smaller utilities and there are a few more compatibility changes too a great reason

To go back to the Picker and make your resource packs again so now let’s get into some of the new stuff here in the aesthetic category there is now a sub category this is something you’ll find in a few other categories too this is called more zombies and what you’ll

Notice here is that you have alternatives to the Steve texture of course we’ve had Alex in the game for a long time but now we’ve got these other new default characters and now you can have zombie variants of them if we look over to the right hand side of the

Screen you can see a preview of each and every one of these they have parts of their skin on the zombie texture which is pretty cool and you may also notice in the tool tip here that there is compatibility for OptiFine you can only select one of these with vanilla

Minecraft but if you select multiple and you’re playing with OptiFine it means that the zombies in your world will randomly be one of the textures that you’ve selected so having flown into a cave to find some naturally spawning zombies you can see one of the alternative Textures in action it looks

Seriously cool also in the aesthetic category brown leather has been applied to the ravenger so now in game you can see that its saddle has the brown tint to match the lever and before we go any further with this video if you’re enjoying learning about all the vanilla

Tweaks update then subscribe to my channel as every now and then I do do a video on vanilla tweaks anyway let’s crack on with the video the peace and quiet category has received a large overhaul with two new entries here quieter Thunder and quieter consumables and like all the packs the sound is

Reduced by 75 at the bottom you’ll see that there is a new subcategory for mobs and here many of the mobs in the game have been added including Ender Dragons Withers Iron Golems Snow Golems a lays frogs wardens and tadpoles so now you have a massive selection of noisy mobs

In the game that you can make specifically quieter than the other ones in the GUI section you can see dark UI and transparent UI have been split into different version due to the changes in the creative inventory and we mentioned compatibility earlier these uis are now compatible with the numbered Hotbar and

The Brewing guide found in the utility section there is also a new pack here which is literal game rule names so when you create a new world and you go into game rules you have descriptions of what each of the game rules are this pack will simply replace all of those

Descriptions with the actual name of the game rule which some of you may prefer in the HUD section which is heads up display there are new crosshairs you have square plus square plus dot Crosshair heart Crosshair and arrow cross air and it’s probably obvious but these are the crosshairs that appear in

The middle of your screen in 1.19.4 the enchantment glint was made separate for items and armor their visibility was nerfed a lot too with the introduction of glint speed and glint strength being controlled by the player despite this the alternative unobtrusive enchantment Glen is still available and it’s been

Made compatible with these changes in the options background own category you can pick a bunch of textures to become the background of the options menu the new one that’s been added is simply Moss however all of the background options have been made compatible with the new

Create new world screen so now when you go into here instead of dirt you have the texture that you’ve selected in menu panoramas there is one New Edition which is Sunset Valley from the 1.18 update and I would speculate that we might see more of these with each update as

Minecraft of course now the tradition is that with each update they changed the menu Panorama so vanilla tweaks might be a way to end up preserving your favorites and if we scroll down further you’ll see there is a subcategory all of my hermitcraft bases backgrounds have been moved into this subcategory this

Next one you saw at the beginning of the video and it’s in the fun section it is the spinning skull on fire painting and 1.19.4 when you search for the paintings it gives you all of them separately and you can see that the artist here the creator of the skull on fire is

Christopher zetastrand it’ll start with this tweet from Zetta strand of the skull spinning around the pixel flames and then it’s punk in time requested to pixelate the skull in this image which set a strand that kindly agreed to do and now we have the spinning skull so once you’ve selected the painting and

You click in the right space of a 4×4 area you need to remember to enable the resource back aha look at that it will be replaced with a glorious animated painting which is just superb I’m definitely going to be using this one so moving on to data packs once again quite

A few of these have been updated so be sure to check what you’ve got running in your world against the version numbers seen here on the website as some of these need updating the big one to talk about is the more mob heads data pack this one of course enables you to get

More mob head types than is regularly available in the game as you see we’ve got a sheep head drop and so with new Mobs comes new heads I’m currently wearing the tadpole head there is also a head drop for the warden if you kill an L.A you’ll get this fancy head and then

Each of the Frog heads will drop their own head too there was also the retexturing of the Vex mob so the mob head for that has been updated but there is actually a 50 50 chance of either getting a regular Vex head or an angry

Vex head and last but not least the bat mobs head that drops has had its textures slightly updated and speaking of bats we have a brand new data pack which is a bat membranes this will cause the Phantom membrane to drop from bats instead so if you wanted to disable

Phantoms from spawning in your world you’d have a way to get your hands on some membrane and last of all in the crafting tweaks section of the website Universal dying has been updated to work with candles so the way you normally dye candles is like so if you’d like to do

This with the universal dyeing you have to surround the die with eight of the other candles like so and because it’s Universal it means you can use any color type here however it doesn’t not work with the default candle which is something that may change so big shout

Out to the vanilla tweaks team that do all that they do to keep this project up and running you can find links to their socials here and also on the main page there is a Twitter account to follow a patreon and a Discord Community server

That you can join and that brings me to the end of my list we have now covered all of the changes and new additions between the last video and this one and there’s more coming in the future as well so make sure you subscribe so you can catch the next vanilla tweaks update
