Minecraft Live: Creator Tools

> HELLO. I’M QUINN, HEAD OF THE MARKETPLACE PARTNER PROGRAM. I’M JOINED BY TWO OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE. HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS INTRODUCE YOURSELVES? > HI, I’M FANNY, I’M A DEVELOPER IN THE CREATOR ASSISTANCE TEAM. WHAT WE DO IS CREATE TOOLS FOR OUR CREATOR COMMUNITY. SOME OF THEM ARE VERY VISIBLE AND

WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEM LATER. SOME OTHERS ARE MORE BEHIND THE SCENES AND THAT HELP OUR CREATORS MAKE CONTENT THAT IS MORE EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE LIKE THE SCHEDULE COMMANDER THAT IS COMING OUT SOON. > I’M JASON, I’M A DEVELOPER IN THE ENGINE TEAM. WE’VE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF

THE MODDING TYPE CAPABILITIES THAT HAVE COME TO BEDROCK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. >> THAT’S SUPER COOL. YOUR TEAMS HELP MAKE CREATOR TOOLS FOR ALL OF OUR INCREDIBLE MARKETPLACE PARTNERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD TO HELP MAKE CONTENT FOR YOU. [MUSIC] > FROM PIKI STUDIOS HERE IN AOTEAROA.

A TEAM OF THREE MAKING CONTENT FOR THE MARKETPLACE AND MINECRAFT EDUCATION EDITION. [MUSIC] > I’M BEANIE FROM ZOMBEANIE AND I RUN A SMALL STUDIO BASED IN CALIFORNIA. WE CREATE LOTS OF MARKETPLACE CONTENT AND I’VE BEEN MAKING TUTORIALS FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS TO TEACH OTHERS HOW TO MAKE THEIR OWN MINECRAFT SKITS.

> MINECRAFT LIVE. MY NAME IS MARK FROM KUBO STUDIOS. WE ARE 15 WORKING HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES. [MUSIC] > HI, I’M TIAN FROM EVERBLOOM GAMES, AND WE ARE 38 PEOPLE WORKING HERE IN ENGLAND. [MUSIC] > HI, MINECRAFT LIVE, THIS IS LINSCRAFT. WE HOPE YOU LIKE OUR STUFF ON THE MARKETPLACE. [MUSIC]

> HI, EVERYONE. I CANNOT BELIEVE I’M PART OF MINECRAFT LIVE THIS YEAR. MY NAME IS YASSER AKA MCTEXELS FROM MCTEXELS AND WE ARE SUPER, SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW UPDATES. > I’M VICKI ALSO KNOWN AS VICKIPIXELS FROM NETHERPIXEL STUDIOS. I GET TO SPEND MY DAYS MAKING CONTENT AND WORKING WITH AWESOME PEOPLE. [MUSIC].

> HEY, I’M ORAN FROM GOE-CRAFT WE ARE 20 PEOPLE HERE IN ISRAEL. SHALOM. [MUSIC] > THE BEST PART IS ALL THESE FEATURES CAN BE USED BY ALL CREATORS. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SHOW US TODAY? > FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE’VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK

WITH THE ENTITIES IN THE GAME. THIS TIME, WE’VE DOUBLED DOWN AND GOTTEN IT SO THAT WE FOCUSED ON ITEMS AND BLOCKS. AS PART OF THAT, I’VE MADE A CUSTOM CROP TO SHOW-OFF A LOT OF THE CAPABILITIES. OVER THE SUMMER, EVERYONE AT MOJANG STUDIOS

WAS GIVEN TOMATO SEEDS TO TRY AND GROW TOMATO PLANT AT HOME, SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PERFECT INSPIRATION TO GO MAKE A CROP. SO IN INTERACTING PLACE THE SEEDS, USE THE CROPS, SEE, THEY’RE GROWING. WE’VE GOT A COUPLE OF THEM GETTING TO THE FLOWER STAGE,

GOT A FEW NOW THAT I CAN ACTUALLY GO PICK. SO IN THIS CASE, I’VE MADE THEM WORK LIKE THE SWEET BERRY BUSH, WHERE YOU CAN JUST RIGHT-CLICK ON THEM. I THINK TOMATOES TASTE DISGUSTING. I THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER TO MAKE THEM AS SOMETHING YOU CAN THROW.

QUINN AND I HAD SOME FUN, WE WERE THROWING THEM AROUND. IT’S HARMLESS. THEY’RE HARMLESS. > TOTALLY HARMLESS. YOU KNOCKED ME IN THE LAVA. > MOSTLY BY ACCIDENT. BUT TOMATOES WILL ACTUALLY ROT ON THE VINE AS WELL. IF THEY ROT FOR TOO LONG,

YOU GET A LITTLE ROTTEN TOMATO MONSTER THAT CAN SPAWN FROM IT. I THINK I’LL FIGHT HIM OFF HERE. HE THROWS ROTTEN TOMATOES. THEY DON’T FLY AS FAR AS A REGULAR TOMATO, BUT THEY KNOCK YOU BACK A LOT MORE. BUT BASED OFF ALL THIS STUFF, I THINK TOMATOES MAYBE AREN’T THE BEST IDEA,

SO I’M GOING TO GET RID OF ALL MY PLANTS AND NEVER GROW THEM AGAIN. > I AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS ONE. > BUT THEY’RE SO HEALTHY. > IT’S TRUE, THEY ARE PRETTY HEALTHY. WITH ALL OF THESE NEW CUSTOM CROPS, CREATORS CAN GO AND MAKE SOME REALLY COOL FARMING-STYLE MAPS.

> OH, DEFINITELY. I THINK CROPS ARE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SHOWING OFF HOW THEY ALL CAN COME TOGETHER, BECAUSE YOU GET THE ITEMS THAT YOU CAN GET THERE. NORMALLY, YOU WOULD EAT THE ITEM OR YOU CAN MAKE PROJECTILES, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET

EVENTS THAT ARE FIRED FROM THINGS LIKE A TICK EVENT. AS THAT EVENT IS FIRED, YOU CAN MAKE THE BLOCK RUN THROUGH MULTIPLE STAGES OF GROWTH AND EVENTUALLY, YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT LOOT SPAWNS AT VARIOUS STAGES OF GROWTH AND STUFF LIKE THAT. > I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY COOL HOW YOU COULD INTERACT

WITH THEM LIKE A NORMAL BERRY BUSH, BUT THEN GET THE TOMATO OUT. > IT’S AN INTERACTIVE EVENT THAT YOU CAN KEY INTO. > THEN THERE’S A TOMATO MONSTER THERE AT THE END TOO. > I CALL HIM TOMMO. > IT’S SO CUTE, IT’S NOT EVEN SCARY,

BUT IT’S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THEM. COMBINING “EVENTS” AND “COMMANDS” IS ONE OF THE FEATURES THAT OUR CREATORS CAN REQUISITE FOR SO LONG, JUST CUTTING “COMMANDS” TO BE ABLE TO RUN THEM WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS. IN ADDITION TO DOING IT WITH ACTORS,

YOU CAN ALSO DO IT WITH BLOCKS AND ITEMS. IN THIS CASE, AS THE FLOWER IS ROTTING, YOU CAN DISAPPEAR THAT CROP AND ALSO SUMMON A TOMATO MONSTER, A TOMMO MONSTER. > THAT’S REALLY COOL BECAUSE I CAN TOTALLY SEE CREATORS USING ALL OF THOSE COMBINATIONS OF FEATURES TO MAKE SOME REALLY COOL, ADVENTUROUS MAPS.

> FOR EXAMPLE, THE LITTLE ADVENTURE THAT WE CAN SHOW YOU WHERE WE WERE GOING TO THE DESERT AND THEN WE FOUND THIS MYSTERIOUS GOLDEN SKULL AND ALSO AN EQUALLY MYSTERIOUS PEDESTAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. WE DECIDED TO PLACE OUR GOLDEN SKULL OVER THERE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

YES, WE HAVE A MOUNTAIN THAT IS HOLLOW, AND AS THE BRAVE WARRIORS THAT WE ARE, WE WENT EXPLORING AND OBVIOUSLY WE FOUND SOME CREEPY MONSTERS INSIDE. LUCKILY, WE HAVE OUR TRUSTY CUSTOM SWORD TO FIGHT THEM OFF. > GLAD THAT HELPS. > I’M NOT SURE WE EVEN SURVIVED THAT.

> THAT DOESN’T SEEM VERY SAFE. > NO, NOT AT ALL. > BUT THAT PEDESTAL, I KNOW THAT’S ONE OF THE MOST REQUESTED FEATURES, BLOCK MODELS. > SO I’M SUPER EXCITED THAT WE’LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO GET BLOCK MODELS IN. IT’S SOMETHING WE’VE BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR YEARS AND WE WERE FINALLY

ABLE TO DO WORK ON THEM AND GET THEM IN. WE GOT IT WORKING WITH USING THE SAME FORMATS THAT WE’VE BEEN USING FOR THE ENTITIES, SO THE SAME TOOLS THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING TO BUILD CUSTOM MOBS, THEY CAN USE TO BUILD THE BLOCKS WITH.

> THAT’S COOL. SO YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO LEARN A NEW SKILL. > IT’S ALMOST IDENTICAL. > THAT’S AWESOME. THEN I NOTICED ON THE HOT BAR WITH THE GOLDEN SKULL, THERE WAS LIKE A LITTLE RED TRIANGLE. WHAT WAS THAT? > IT’S A NEW FEATURE THAT WE’RE CALLING “ITEM LOCK.”

I DON’T KNOW IF YOU’VE FOUND YOURSELF SOMETIMES JUST GOING THROUGH SOME CONTENT, AND YOU HAVE THIS SPECIAL ITEM AND THEN YOU DIE AND YOU LOSE IT OR MAYBE YOU DROP IT ACCIDENTALLY. NOW, WE’VE MADE IT SO THAT CREATORS CAN ACTUALLY LOCK SOMETHING ON YOUR INVENTORY, SO THAT WHEN YOU DIE, OR PRESS Q,

THEY WON’T GO AWAY. THAT WAY, YOU DON’T LOSE YOUR MYSTERIOUS GOLDEN SKULL LIKE THE STAGE. > IT’S SO NICE. > I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT MAKES IT SUPER EASY BECAUSE I’VE DEFINITELY BEEN IN AN ADVENTURE MAP AND I LOST THE KEY ON ACCIDENT,

AND THEN I HAD TO GO AND TRY AND FIX THAT. THEN WHEN YOU PLACED THE SKULL, THERE WAS A LOT GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND. > THERE ARE THREE FEATURES TO TALK ABOUT RIGHT THERE. THE FIRST ONE IS WE’VE BEEN WANTING TO GIVE MORE POWER TO CREATORS WITH CAMERAS,

EVEN IF IT’S JUST A SMALL ONE WHERE WE JUST SHAKE THE SCREEN, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED THAT ONE. THEN YOU CAN HELP PLAYERS CONVEY SOMETHING LIKE THERE’S AN EARTHQUAKE GOING ON OR MAYBE SOMETHING’S GOING TO ABOUT TO FALL OVER YOU, SO YOU CAN DO THAT WITH THIS NEW TOOL-

> OR DINOSAURS. > OR DINOSAURS. > DINOSAUR STEPS. > YES. THE SECOND ONE THAT WE NOTICE THERE IS “STRUCTURES.” YOU CAN NOW PLACE THEM USING COMMANDS, WHEREAS BEFORE YOU HAD TO BE USING A STRUCTURE BLOCK WHICH IS MORE COMPLICATED AND TIME-CONSUMING. NOW, YOU CAN DO IT MUCH MORE EASILY.

AS PART OF THOSE COMMANDS, YOU CAN NOW ANIMATE THE STRUCTURE PLACEMENT. FOR THOSE THAT KNOW THIS, LIKE THE MOUNTAIN WAS OPENING AND THAT WAS JUST A STRUCTURE ANIMATING, WE PROVIDE A COUPLE OF EFFECTS. ONE IS JUST LIKE A 3D PRINTING ANIMATION AND THE OTHER ONE IS LAYER-BY-LAYER.

YOU CAN COMBINE THEM TO JUST ACHIEVE VERY COOL EFFECTS. > I CAN SEE CREATORS USING THOSE TO ADD JUST ANOTHER LEVEL OF POLISH TO THEIR WORLD. > EXACTLY. > ABSOLUTELY. > THEN I RECOGNIZE THOSE SCORPIONS. > WELL, WITH THE DESERT THEME, IT FELT APPROPRIATE TO BRING THEM BACK.

THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITE CUSTOM MOBS THAT I’VE EVER BUILT. > BUT AFTER WATCHING THAT VIDEO FOR SO LONG, I ENDED UP HAVING A NIGHTMARE ABOUT HAVING TO RESCUE MY MOM FROM SOME ALIENS FIGHTING A SCORPION. IT WAS CREEPY. > I’M SORRY, THAT WAS NOT THE INTENTION.

> IT WAS CREEPY AND FUNNY. > WELL, SPEAKING OF ALIENS, I KNOW OUR TEAM PUT TOGETHER A REALLY COOL SCI-FI PARKOUR MAP THAT, WELL, THEY MADE YOU RUN THROUGH, JASON. > I’M PRETTY SURE THEY KNEW THIS WHEN THEY ASKED ME TO RUN THROUGH IT, BUT I’M PRETTY AWFUL AT PARKOUR.

IT TOOK A FEW TRIES TO GET A CLEAN RUN THROUGH. BUT AT THE BEGINNING HERE, IT’S A PRETTY TYPICAL PARKOUR MAP OF RUNNING AND JUMPING, BUT WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME TWISTS UP AHEAD. HERE’S THE FIRST ONE. EVEN I KNOW I CAN’T MAKE THAT JUMP,

SO LET’S SEE WHAT’S IN THE CHEST AND WE’VE GOT A SLIMEINATOR. SO I’M PRETTY SURE YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE. NOW, HOPEFULLY, I WILL JUMP AND BE ABLE TO CLEAR THIS GAP. PLEASE. YES. I MADE UP, SO I GET TELEPORTED TO THE NEXT SECTION.

MAKE IT ALONG AND SEE WHAT NEXT OBSTACLE WE HAVE. NOW, I KNOW THE CHESTS HAVE USEFUL THINGS IN THEM. WE’VE GOT A BLOCKINATOR AND WE’LL THROW THAT ACROSS AND GET A LITTLE PLATFORM. NOW, I CAN MAKE THIS JUMP. EVEN I CAN MAKE THAT JUMP.

WE’VE GOT A HOT DOG OR THE CYBER DOG AND PULL IT UP. IT POISONED ME, SO I NEEDED TO USE THE ANTIDOTE TO RESCUE ME THERE. MAKE ACROSS AND THROUGH HERE. NOW, WE’VE GOT A WALL IN THE WAY, SO LET’S SEE WHAT TOOL WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH THE WALL.

SO WAND AND INSTA/PRESTO AND YOU GET THROUGH HERE. KEEP GOING ALONG. THIS SHOULD BE OUR LAST OBSTACLE HERE. I CAN SEE THE TELEPORT PAD, BUT I CAN’T QUITE GET TO IT, BUT THAT SHAFT UP ABOVE LOOKS PROMISING, ALONG WITH THE LADDER. GO UP, SEE WHAT YOU GET HERE. FALL DOWN AND BLOCK BREAKS,

SO I CAN GET TO THE TELEPORTER, AND FANNY’S ALREADY THERE. > YOU’VE MADE IT. > OF COURSE, FINALLY. EIGHTY-SIX TIMES. > THAT’S REALLY COOL. I LOVE JUST THE AESTHETIC OF THAT TOO AS WELL, LIKE ALL THE ART AND THINGS. THOSE TELEPORT BLOCKS, THOSE SEEM LIKE A REALLY COOL WAY

TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF EMERGENCE TO THE WORLDS YOU’RE CREATING. > WITH DATA DRIVEN ITEMS, SOME BLOCKS, WE GET SO MANY NEW EVENTS THAT YOU CAN ACT ON. LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE CASE OF THE TELEPORTERS, YOU CAN STEP ON IT AND THEN AN EVENT

WOULD TRIGGER AND YOU CANREACT IN SO MANY WAYS. YOU CAN ADD PARTICLES, OR IN THIS CASE, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU RUN A SERIES OF COMMANDS AND JUST TELEPORT YOU TO THE NEXT AREA. > THAT’S AWESOME, AND I LOVE THE SLIMEINATOR, THE BLOCKINATOR AND THE MAGIC WAND. I’VE NEVER SEEN ITEMS DO THAT BEFORE.

> SO THAT’S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW COMBINING THE SAME TOOLS, YOU CAN ACHIEVE SO MANY DIFFERENT EFFECTS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SLIMEINATOR WAS JUST USING THE “EVENT” AND THE “FEEL” COMMAND TO REPLACE THE BLOCKS AT THE BOTTOM WITH THE SLIMES. THEN THE NEXT ONE,

WE HAVE THE WAND AND THAT ONE IS JUST REPLACING BLOCKS WITH AIR. THEN WE ALSO HAD THE BLOCKINATOR, WHICH ALLOWED YOU TO WALK-BY, REPLACING AIR WITH BLOCKS. DESPITE COMBINING EVENTS AND THE SAME COMMAND IN DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU HAVE SO MANY COOL EFFECTS.

> SO JUST SMALL LITTLE SIMPLE THINGS YOU CAN COMBINE IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET A WIDE VARIETY OF RESULTS. > EVEN THAT BLOCKINATOR ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE THAT JUMP. THEN I ALSO SAW THAT THERE WAS MESSING WITH MOB EFFECTS TOO AS WELL.

> WE’VE HAD AN EXAMPLE OF CUSTOM FOOD IN THERE, BUT IN ADDITION TO JUST SATISFYING HUNGER LIKE A FOOD NORMALLY DOES, YOU CAN ADD AND REMOVE MOB EFFECTS. SO WE HAD THE CYBER DOG THAT GAVE THREE EFFECTS, THE LEVITATION, NAUSEA, AND POISON. THEN WE HAD THE ANTIDOTE

THAT WOULD ACTUALLY ONLY REMOVE TWO OF THEM. SO UNLIKE A BUCKET OF MILK THAT REMOVES ALL MOB EFFECTS, YOU CAN MAKE THINGS THAT REMOVE VERY SPECIFIC THINGS. > IT SEEMS LIKE YOU’VE GOT, AFTER YOU USE THAT OR ACTUALLY USE THE MAGIC WAND TO GET TO THAT WALL, IT SEEMED LIKE YOU WERE STUCK,

BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE THAT WAS GOING ON THERE. > OH, YES. THERE IS THE BLOCK THAT WAS IN MY WAY. SO WE MADE IT SO THAT ANOTHER ONE OF THESE EVENTS, SIMILAR TO THE “ON-STEP-ON” IS WE ALSO HAVE THE “ON-FALL-ON.” IN THIS CASE, IT WAS JUST AN “ON-FALL-ON,” AND YOU CAN

SET WHAT DISTANCE YOU WANT THE EVENT TO TRIGGER, SO YOU HAVE TO FALL AT LEAST 10 BLOCKS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WHEN YOU LAND ON IT, WE THEN BREAK THE BLOCK SIMILAR TO WHAT LIKE THE TOMATO PLANT AND OTHER THINGS THAT WE SAW EARLIER. > IT SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK YOU QUITE

A FEW TRIES TO MAKE IT THROUGH, BUT FANNY WAS ABLE TO DO IT FIRST TRY. > YES. UNLIKE OTHERS, 86 TIMES. > YEAH. ONE NEW FEATURE THAT WE HAVE IS THAT ON “BROAD TEXT,” YOU’LL BE ABLE TO SHOW THE NAMES OF THE PLAYERS THAT ARE OF

INTEREST AT THAT MOMENT AND ALSO SHOW SCORES, LIKE IN THIS CASE, WE WERE TRACKING HOW MANY TIMES MEYER WAS DYING. > WELL, THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING ON TO THE STAGE AND TALKING A LITTLE ABOUT THESE CREATOR TOOLS AND NEW FEATURES THAT ARE COMING OUT. WITH THESE NEW FEATURES,

THERE’S GOING TO BE A PRETTY AMAZING NEW THING COMING OUT LATER THIS YEAR FOR ALL MINECRAFT PLAYERS. [MUSIC] >> REMEMBER, GDL WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN THE EVENT OF A LIKELY DEATH. [MUSIC] YOUR DESCEND WILL BEGIN IN THREE, TWO, ONE. [MUSIC]
