Welcome back seth bling here mojang just released the 13w07a snapshot and it’s really only got one new feature in it uh but i think it’s a pretty cool one especially for map makers out there the new feature is that falling sand entities can now carry tile entity data okay what does that mean Well as dinnerbone was talking about you can have spotter minecarts that was introduced in the last snapshot this spawner minecart spawns a falling sand entity following a sanity is what you get when you take regular old sand and drop it for the duration of its fall it’s an Entity it’s not actually a block and previously you were able to add data to that falling sanity that would make it look like another block and when it landed it would become that other block but it didn’t work for tile entities because there’s extra data now tile entities are things like mob spawners And chests and dispensers things that carry extra data with them basically they’re blocks that have extra data so to sum it up basically this minecart is spawning this minecart spawner is spawning falling sanitities with the id for mob spawners which is i think 52 and it has that extra tile entity data Which says this is a mob spawner that spawns creepers with such and such rate of spawning and etc it’s quite evil but it can also be put to good use i have a filter mcedit filter that i’ve linked to the video description that you can use basically you select any blocks that you Want and it will turn them into sand and if those blocks happen to have tile entity data then it’ll turn it’ll include that in the sans data anyway i’m going to leave that alone that’s an evil example but there are some pretty cool things you can do with it as well If i come over here i’m going to set the time back today uh if i just walk in this little cubby here you can see i have chest spawning as i walk in that that looks really cool i think the chests have these uh these armor pieces of armor in it And it looks really neat and it’s just a way to spruce up your map it’s that’s the kind of thing you can do with this it’s not evil it’s actually quite quite pleasing i think i’m going to come over here and show you my final example on the way i’m going to Stop and show you this map in an item frame which looks so much better than it did before they fixed a bug that is making it look kind of bad okay so over here i actually have a bunch of spawner mine carts all in a whole i think there’s probably something like 50 maybe maybe 30 30 spawner mine carts in this hole uh if i get within five blocks of them if you look over there uh we can see they’re starting to spawn some blocks while they’re spawning falling insanities that are turning into blocks and it spawned an auto turret now um A lot of these dispensers aren’t facing the right way and i think that’s due to a bug that is causing basically the data value of the dispenser to get messed up just stop it real quick because that is quite loud uh i think that’s due to a bug but If if that is a bug it’ll get fixed if it’s not a bug and it’s something i messed up then it’s something i messed up but uh pretty cool that you can spawn an auto turret just in the middle of wherever you want you could build a tower defense game With this you could do a lot of cool stuff i think it’s i think it’s really neat so there you go there’s another example i think there’s some very very cool stuff you can do with these new with this new feature so again if you’d like to to make your Own falling sand entities that have that tylenol data i have that mca filter in the video description and uh i think i think there are some map makers out here that out there that definitely know what to do with this not just vex but also people that make just cool stuff out of You know weird features like this that’s about it thanks for watching so you Video Information
