Minecraft Snapshots – 12w40a – Witch Huts, More Superflat Options, & More!

Uh what hey guys antonio here and welcome back to another minecraft video and today i’m going to be showing you guys the 40th weekly snapshot for 2012 and there’s a pretty fair amount to cover in this video so i’m just going to go ahead and

I’m going to launch it into it here with the first update so if i go into single player here and i go into my world mark 12 w40a swamp now whenever you generate a swamp biome in minecraft it has a chance of spawning a witch hut and there

Isn’t really anything too special about the witch hut here if anything it’s just like free wood and there is a witch right here yeah um funny thing to note too is that the witch is actually too short to fit into its own hut because the hat just sticks through the roof

Like that so not sure if they’re going to make any changes with that one but i mean that that’s that’s a lot of hat to not fit into that house but anyway so there’s a crafting bench inside there is a cauldron inside which apparently is floating on the ceiling i don’t know how

You’re going to get to the water from there but hey they’re witches so yeah i guess it just kind of works but uh it looks like they got little sparkly effects going on there too i i have no idea what’s going on there maybe he

Maybe he loves his hut or she i have no idea wha what are you and then you can see there’s a mushroom here in the window cell so yeah overall nothing too too special about them just yet uh i’ve seen in a couple of screenshots more often than

Not that these can spawn actually over water in swamp biomes they’ll just have like little pillars that go through the water into the ground and they look pretty cool that way but i didn’t wind up coming across any so yeah anyways so moving on here let’s go on to my second

World here the 12w40a strongholds and this is where i list off a couple of other things so the pick block action now works on items so things like levers you know redstone repeaters string there we go it’ll work on anything like that though it’s not going to work on like if you

Drop an item on the ground or something like i’m not going to be able to hover over it and pick it up that way as you can see here you know i’ll just wind up picking up the grass no matter how much i click around it so it works for things

Like that you know items that get that can be placed on the ground such as this so yeah um pressing one through nine in the creative uh in the creative menu while hovering over an item will actually drop that item onto the bar and this in my

Opinion is one of my favorite updates for the creative menu in a very long time so now all i have to do if i want to stay if i want some dispensers actually okay let me be careful here um yeah if i want some of these here like

If i type in 0 then it’ll do that and if i click on here and i start typing in numbers it’ll still type in the numbers but let’s just say i just want to randomize my inventory yeah i guess i can go ahead and i can do that now so

Now if i want to let’s just say you know i didn’t want to click and drag this into my inventory or something now all i have to do is just hit five four three two one whatever you know i can just i can fill up my inventory with splash

Potions of night uh yes splash potions of night vision let’s do invisibility i wanna make okay invisibility there we go okay now let’s do that bam filled up my inventory invisible slime ow now i’m invisible yeah invisible slime invisible sheep yeah the euro wait a minute what what what

What just happened here is this some kind of lullsworthy joke well looks like sheep don’t quite get the invisibility effect but instead you get walking pieces of wool so the naked form of the sheep goes invisible and the wool stays behind so if i were to shear him then he would be completely

Invisible yeah that’s that’s disturbing on so many levels ooh a stronghold i’ll get into that here in just a second so i’m going to go ahead and i’m going to clear out my inventory here and now i kind of wish there was like a blank space then again

I can just go ahead and i can shift click on destroy adam and it’ll destroy everything so now when you’re in creative mode you can actually shift click items from this inventory space right here the creative inventory space onto the survival inventory space and in previous iterations of minecraft uh what

That would do is it would actually just poof the item away it would just be gone it would just go away so i’m gonna go ahead i’m gonna test this with armor here because this was always one of the biggest annoyances about this new inventory so now when i shift click as

You can see it will pop up right here bam yeah so no longer shift clicking on your armor will make it go away because that was something that was very annoying and i’m very very glad that that was fixed so now left clicking will no longer oh wait a minute my arm is

Invisible because i have the invisibility effect that’s actually really bothering me give me milk give me milk give me milk i don’t i don’t like this effect anymore give me my arm back okay bam there we go cha cha cha never been so satisfied to have my arm

So left clicking on and left clicking no longer works on doors trap doors levers and wait yeah doors buttons levers and trapdoors so no longer works in any of those uh if i were to go ahead and let me just go ahead and let me give myself

A door here just to show you guys an example of how exactly that works so i go ahead and i set down a trapdoor here and then a door here game mode s so now when you left click on them it just it punches them out as if you were

Normally punching them out so as you can see here it’s just it’s punching it out yeah so now you have to right click to open these things which i think is a pretty okay update it was always kind of annoying when you’re trying to destroy a door and be like

You know opening and closing not constantly but it was still kind of annoying so yeah all right so game mode see there we go so surprise so fire wow i said fire and spread in the same word fire spreading has been slightly nerfed to prevent infinite fire spreading yeah

Because so that kind of sucks because i always like the fact that you know that that change that was recently made that makes it so that on hard mode and hardcore mode uh fire spreading was infinite i kind of like that so it’s kind of a shame though i haven’t tested

It out in a real world scenario do you really know how big of an effect that has and it looks like the sheeps are no longer invisible over there i wish they still were so slimes are now spawn in swamp biomes in low light situations so i’m not sure

If you guys saw that when i was in the swamp uh area before i might go back to that but now they can spawn in there so you can now find slimes in the above world so finding slimes is no longer as big of a challenge as it used to be so

Now you can probably find them at night or while it’s raining so the beacon light has also gotten its uh little beacon thing uh updated it’s texture updated and the inside of it has been updated as well not really too sure why they did that i really loved the

Spinning nether star that was in it i thought that was a really neat effect and now it’s just kind of like now now now it’s just weird and a bat just flew by me and then this as well i don’t really like this nearly as much as what

They had in the previous snapchat as well but it’s it’s not too bad it very much resembles what’s going on with the actual block there so i guess it does make sense enough so now moving on to one of the more complicated updates is changes with super flat maps now no this

Isn’t like a regular regularly spawned super flat map in fact to get something like this you can actually customize super flat maps in ways that you couldn’t in the previous snapshot so i’m going to go ahead and i’m going to save and quit here and show you guys some of

The new options so when i go to create new world i go to creative and then i go to super flat and customize now when i go to presets you’re going to notice that there are some new things that can be added as a suffix to the super flat customization

And those things are uh right now you can spawn things like trees strongholds mine shafts etc i’m not sure about mine shafts that wasn’t listed but uh i’m not hundred percent sure about every single option that you can add but i know that if you do click through them here you

Can see stronghold biome one um i tested that out though i couldn’t find uh like if i tried biome two biome three whatever i couldn’t get it to spawn any different biome so i’m not sure quite exactly sure what that does there’s decoration dungeon mine shaft if i if i

Click on overworld here you can see there’s a lot more of them so i can do things like tall grass pumpkins flowers trees mine shafts dungeons strongholds lakes desert wells ravines and ores and stuff like that so maybe i can try like ores as well or something like that ores

Let’s see if i can use that preset preset okay so put in oars right there so definitely very possible that ores will now spawn in this one so i’m going to go ahead and i’m going to spawn this one here so let’s go ahead and let’s hit

Done let’s hit done and then let’s hit spawn and you guys will see that this is no longer like a perfectly super flat map though as of uh me testing this i haven’t i haven’t tested it specifically but it wasn’t documented that caves can spawn so

That’d be kind of a cool addition you know see if you uh like some sort of weird like cave system generation going on with this because i think that would be really really cool but yeah as you can see here you know there’s tall grass all over the place there’s you know

Water there’s you know little bits of desert that’s surrounding them um yeah it’s pretty cool you can see there’s pampkins over there um if i hit f3 you can see all of this is still a plains biome so we’re not going to see any like swamp biomes or

Mountain biomes or anything like that mountain biomes wouldn’t make make much sense but uh swamp biomes would and i’m not even noticing any trees even though i do believe the preset that i had set did have trees set so let’s go and let’s let’s take a look at that there um let’s

See overworld um actually no i didn’t see trees let me type in trees here let me see if that preset works let’s see here did it put in trees i don’t think it did uh did it yeah it did right there okay so trees i’m also going

To try tree just to see if that’ll work all right let’s see if we let’s see if it’ll spawn ourselves some trees because i really want that no it doesn’t look like it’s going to so i’m not 100 sure how exactly these work um i’ve tested the round of them a

Little bit but a lot of the options just don’t seem to work so i’m going to include some notations in the description below when more information is brought out about these as to exactly how to get these to work so i’m just going to go ahead and i’m going to move

On here i see sugar cane off in the distance that is breaking the super flatness of the super flat map it’s it’s it doesn’t belong it doesn’t belong i’m gonna break it i’m gonna break it yeah yeah there we go okay so moving on here so now this one isn’t really something

That i can display but i do know what they’re talking about with this it’s noted that custom item naming nbt tags now exists so it’s intended for like custom map makers so using the nbt it is possible to add custom names to items as well as a lore list for something on

That item which basically means a little subtext for an item so i’m going to go ahead and i’m going to go in here um let’s see here so for something like this now you can actually have these have custom id’s based on the items that you

Have in your inventory i’m not 100 sure if you can be given items with custom ids but i know that the items that you actually have if you use a program like nbt editor you can actually modify the names of the items that the person has

In their hand so i could change this wooden door to be the secret door or you could change um armor to be red team’s armor or blue team’s armor or you can change bow to be like overpowered bow or sniper bow or something like that seth blink yeah

So yeah as i was noting before with a lot of the customization options with super flat maps you can spawn things like strongholds now and uh this isn’t limited to spawning a stronghold underground you can force the strongholds to actually spawn in your map so if you use a regular super flat

Map like i have here you can see my height is at four on the y axis so this is a very low super flat map then you can force things like strongholds and things like this to spawn all around the world and i’d actually be interested in

Seeing some of the other things that can spawn all around the world as well i’m actually going to do that here in just a second so yeah you can see there is a stronghold here um and that the end portal is right over there and i’ve looked around some of these chests there

Isn’t anything terribly special in them so anyways let’s go ahead and let’s drop out here let’s go to create new world creative this this one’s just kind of for fun since we’re pretty much done i’m going to go ahead and i’m going to choose the overworld one but then i’m

Going to make it so that there is only there’s only one layer of stones let’s see if that works yeah so this is going to be a very low world let’s just see what happens let’s let’s let’s see what happens for the fun of it see if

Anything like super out of the ordinary happens building terrain yeah whoa can we spawn right next to a stronghold right next to a mine shaft wow who would have wow oh my god holy crap um okay let’s just let’s just do slash seat here

I know you guys are going to want to see that that’s the seed for you if you guys want to pull that out there you go and then there is this is like the ultimate in like showing off what this feature can do just mine shafts mine shafts everywhere

And then there’s a village over there and then there’s this yeah so definitely something oh my god there’s a lot more lava pools than there would typically be because typically they’re spawning at varied levels on the map but now they’re all spawning right on ground level so you

Can see that there’s a lot more of them so pretty much one of the best examples i could come out with at random i think that this is a pretty good descriptor as to what this can do some coal in there some iron in there yeah let’s see what’s in this chest over

Here apples plus gold what are you trying to say pal so anyways guys um i hope you all have enjoyed this snapshot review um again you guys should check out that seed there’s a mine shaft generating right through a village it’s actually cutting off the blacksmith’s house a little bit um yeah

Some reason i have to check to see what’s in there good stuff but yeah so i don’t think these villagers are gonna be too happy with the fact that they got a mining shaft breaking through their church right here um not a good day for this village so

Anyways guys i hope you all have enjoyed this video uh my name is ant-man and i bid you all farewell thanks so much for watching you
