Minecraft 1.9 Pre-release Tour (Village Monks and Biomes)

Hi folks Paul Soros jr. here today September 22nd 2011 and minecraft beta 1.9 pre-release was just uploaded I downloaded the Minecraft that jar this does not automatically update your minecraft you actually have to go and explicitly download the jar file and dump it in your minecraft folder I’m not

Gonna get it into that in this video but I did want to show you one of the new features here and that is the swamp so let’s hop right in here and take a look let’s see this one’s creative I wanted to show you from up on high to give you

An idea of what the new swamp looks like the topography of it so it’s got this new water texture it’s got a little green tint in there and it merges really nicely with the clear blue water like so the grass has been modified this is a

Darker color than the old grass as far as I recall and there’s a lot more grass in fact it was seemed to be a lot less actual ground in the old swamp biome and there’s something new here which is collectible and that is the lily pad and

They just kind of grow randomly and scattered about and the swamp I can’t gather them in creative mode so let me just clock out of here and go back into survival all right hit it and you get it and I’ve got five of these they obviously have

Not been colored yet either gray and they don’t have a name certainly that would be fixed it can be placed back down in the water too but it seems very unpredictable where and how they go down into the water because I’ve I’ve had it work for me once or twice but there’s

Really no rhyme or reason why it doesn’t work all the time so I don’t know that’s probably a bug it with your tips that would imagine but you can’t place them back down into the water oh there we go cannot step on them or walk on there

Like the vines you don’t really have any clipping features you just walk right through them pretty cool stuff so the swamp is looking much improved in my opinion and sadly my you miss clay seed which put you in a swamp had a big abandoned mineshaft underneath

No longer works so looks like I’m gonna have to find a new seed for that I had a cool challenge coming up for that so anyway that’s the swamp feature and I’m gonna go ahead and take a look if I can see if I can find a MPC village there

Are some villagers now and there’s a couple other features as well and I’ll try to tack them on to this video or maybe make a separate video I’m not sure yet but you shall see so anyway stay tuned and I’ll see you soon okay I guess I’m not done I wanted to

Show you the different color water here even in the waterfall you can see that green tint really well done nice blending there and there’s also a blend here of the grass you’ve got tall grass greenish and then you get this little gray I don’t know if the fungus stay

Ugly gray or if this is a new color here just to show you the different blending or what but all this stuff has different color I would imagine that’s going to stay that one okay so that’s the swamp biome and I’m gonna go find an NPC village and I will return bye bye

Alright well I’m back and I found an NPC village and here we have the first NPC’s in the game and it’s a justificatory ov here there’s a few of the milling about the town hey testy I’m gonna call you testy although you look like that honker there you look

Like it looked like gonzo from Sesame Street or beaker that would be good so there’s the monk I’m not sure what the monk does and then off to Rao with his hands in his robe all day let’s check out the NPC village see if this has

Changed any belief so this is one of the largest I’ve seen however personally now I’m curious if these monks helped with the mobs I don’t think so yeah they seem to care that there’s a skeleton in this town shooting arrows at his town guests hello hey testy get him see if he shoots

Let’s see what happens you can’t shoot testy I’ll tell you what I’m in creative Melissa’s always interesting go ahead shoot me shoot me I’m creative shoot me again chesty green-eyed monkey just like her just get all the race going yeah I realize he’s shooting me I

Know are you going to do something I’m gonna stand idly by and watch village guests get shot by a skeleton please well then goodbye my foe that hurt didn’t it yeah yeah not so fun with the shooting at you now is it uh-huh see different story now all right I’m gonna

Go okay well karma baby okay well one just difficut down here to go don’t fall down there testy yeah that could hurt what happens let me take a little damage no surprise to us try again go ahead monk it’s just just curious Oh mmm stone that seems to hurt all

Right well there’s the village and the first NPCs in Minecraft testificandum and that they will get a proper name someday I’ll have to look up testificandum I have no idea what that means all right off to the next new feature I shall return thanks for watching bye bye

Okay not so fast I thought I was done but I saw a new outfit here he must be the boss hey boss you may want to try giving everybody different names just sayin kind of hard calling everybody by the same name but he turns and looks and it’s gonna be

Confusing know what I mean yeah you are the boss right white robes no beaker gonzo what’s your name okay guys have fun in there and well I’ll see you soon open away okay off to find the next feature I understand there’s some kind of a mushrooms biome or something so I will

Keep my eyes peeled and if I find something I’ll be back okay I’m back I did find something of interest this is the new snow biome contrary to popular belief or at least rumor snow does not only exist high in the mountains this one actually abuts swamp believe it or

Not and in fact it was desert back that way so I don’t think it makes any difference it’s just extremely rare I have been floating around here in the sky for a good 40 minutes this is the first no I’ve seen but it is quite extensive it’s huge

There’s a nice frozen river here with a ton o ice very cool I haven’t seen any polar bears or Eskimos but I have seen sheep pigs and cow all the standard farm animals are present and accounted for so there you have it snow biome super huge very cool but seemingly kind of rare

Okay I’m gonna touch down here and I think I’m gonna continue looking there is something there’s a mushroom island or something like that then I’ve read about a little bit it’s apparently out in the ocean so I’m looking for ocean haven’t found any yet but when I do I’ll

Be back and I will show you so stay tuned
