Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 23W04A – Over 600 Armor Trims

Hello everyone and welcome to snapshot23w04a which I’ve labeled as a 1.20 snapshot can you tell why it’s because we’ve got features from the next update of Minecraft and it’s once again about expressing yourself this snapshot is all about adding armor trims and you can see a few examples of them right

Here in total there is 616 combinations you can make and even more with commands and technically you are looking at every single one of those combinations right now this is a very interesting snapshot moyang are adding a ton of customization to the game so where do we get started

With this there is a lot to explain I think the smithing table is the point to focus on as it’s received an overhaul it now has a new interface for upgrading your gear and there are three components to this the smithing template a piece of armor and then a material that gives it

A color so if I go ahead and drop this into the first slot you’ll see that the icons update and hint that we can put armor in to the second slot and a material of some sorts into the third once we’ve done all of that the trim

Gets added to the icon here and you get a preview on the side of what the change is going to look like so there are 12 different types of template 11 of them are used for changing the appearance of armor these are referred to as Arma trim

And then there is another category for upgrade and the odd one out here is netherrite it’s the only one for the upgrade category and once again use it inside of the smithing table so there’s still a way to upgrade your diamond armor this time though you need to use

The template and you’ll see here that you can’t put a different type of material in you can only upgrade Diamond to netherrite like before and when you do this your template gets consumed as well as the other materials now the question on your mind is properly well

How do I get my hand on templates and we will get to that but first of all I want to show you that you can clone a template if we go into here and type Smith you’ll see that all of the different sniffing templates pop up we

Have a look at netherrite you can see the recipe right here so in order to clone one of these you not only need one already but then you need a block that corresponds with the template and seven diamonds and yes that makes your netherite upgrades even more expensive

This is the same for the other templates too they all have a corresponding material for duplicating the template and so over here you can see the names of each of them Spire tied June snout Coast wild I Sentry rib Vex and Ward and obviously all of their corresponding

Materials are there and before we have a look at the full set of patterns that each one gives us let’s talk about the netherite for a second if any of you can do the math it’s now way more expensive to upgrade your gear and moyang have shared their reasoning for this change

So these reasons include increasing the time players utilize Diamond equipment before moving on to netherrite to make that netherrite more of a significant achievement in the game’s progression and it’ll adapt the material more naturally into the new smithing table crafting system so where does one find this smithing template it is in the

Bastio and Remnants if you find a treasure room there will be at least two chests inside of there both containing one of these templates each so yeah never right equipment just got a whole lot harder to obtain let me know what you think of that with a comment down

Below while you’re down there be sure to leave a like And subscribe if you haven’t done so and you want to stay informed with all of these 1.20 snapshots I will be covering them on this channel now what about all the other templates this one here is called

Snout and it’s also found in the Bastion remnants any chest you open here has a 4.8 chance of having one of these another found in the never Dimension is the rib template this also has a 4.8 chance of being inside of a chest found in a nether fortress as I look into

These one by one I realize that the chances for all of them being found in a chest are always 4.8 percent this one is spire and it’s found in the end City the century template is found at the Pillager Outpost in a shipwreck you can find the coast template the aptly named

June template is found in a desert pair pyramid wild is found in the jungle temple and you know there’s only two chests to be found here you’d have to visit like 10 of these or more to get your hands on one I think some of these rates could do of adjusting and remember

It’s a snapshot so things are subject to change Ward’s clearly short for Warden is found in the ancient city the eye template can be found in a stronghold and the Vex template is found in the Woodland mansion and the very last place on our list is an ocean Monument where

You can get the tide template what’s different here is that you get it from the Elder Guardian and you have a 20 chance of getting one from these and there’s free in each ocean monument and also this chance of getting a template doesn’t affect that they drop wet

Sponges so now that we know where to get all of these templates let’s have a look at the patterns that they create each one of these has a unique design for all four pieces of armor we’ve got Spire tide June snout and as you can see they put their own distinctive patterns pixel

Patterns on onto each of the types of armor now not only is this on the front it’s also on the sides of the armor and on the back too there tends to be less detail in total on the back though so now you’re probably thinking what about

The colors those are done with materials and there are 10 different types that you can use and here they are in this chest and you probably noticed that each of them has a color that kind of corresponds with the ones that you’ve seen up the top here so we have Emerald

Lapis Redstone quartz copper diamond netherite gold iron amethyst and copper again not only does it work on these five types of armor it also works on the turtle helmet too as you would have seen in the intro but leather has been left out of the equation you can’t do this on

Lever armor and that’s most likely because it already has its Dye System where you can change the color using dyes now only do the armor themselves change but so do the icons you can see here they get modified too and when you hover over them there are two details

The type of material and which template was used to add a pattern what should be noted here though is that when you change the template the visual the armor changes but not the icon there’s essentially just one pattern on the icon for each and every template the color

Does change though if I swap out the material you can see the color on the icon does change you can also take existing armor that’s already got a trim and simply redefine it but remember this will consume your template and there is one other exception here you can’t use

The same material on the same type of armor you can put it in there but it won’t let you add it so with 10 materials 11 templates certain materials that you can’t put onto themselves you can now understand how we got those numbers in the beginning there are 616

Different combinations now it’s gone unsaid but it should be obvious this is entirely visual there are no gameplay benefits to changing anything other than maybe you know visible ability to other players in PvP environments apart from visuals there are no coded in gameplay benefits and you might notice that down

Here these items are enchanted I have equipped these because the enchanted glint has slightly been reduced I think that’s true for both the icons and the armor when a player is wearing it now this whole system has been built with customization in mind not just customization through the regular

Vanilla gameplay if you visit the website you’re going to find a ton of technical details explaining the ins and outs of how this system works if you want to get into data packs and resource packs this stuff is customizable and they’ve shared lots of information on

How all of it works the Minecraft devs have also been rather active explaining how this stuff works over on Twitter so if you’re interested in learning and you want to get involved there’s some useful information there too now what I want to show you next is a preview of the

Sniffer mob moyang released this footage and I’d already covered it on my Channel with a short but I wanted to include it here again as it’s going to be a part of this 1.20 update it is the sniffer mob that won the recent mob vote and we are

Seeing footage of it here in Bedrock Edition now there’s not much more I can tell you than what you’re seeing because this was all that was shown the ancient seeds or any of the other details about this mob the new plants none of that stuff was shared with us so all we got

To see was the mob and take in its aesthetic value and a lot of people were commenting on the amount of pixels that this giant mob has it actually follows the same pixel ratio to size as creatures like The Strider do for example and there really isn’t much else

To say that video was simply it so this is where we wrap this one up if you enjoyed it leave a like thanks as always and I’ll see you soon with another bye
