Hey everybody it’s monkey farm if you thought I had uploaded this video earlier today you are not losing your mind don’t worry I just reloaded it because I made a few changes so if you’ve seen it sorry about that so this is just quick video today about The new snapshot that was released the other day called twelve w01 a they’re just a handful of updates or bug fixes that were made nothing too major if you know for the last update sheep now greet regrow their wool and as you can see they eat your grass up too So this guy might not be around too much longer I’ll worry about that later anyway so onto the the one the update that I wanted to talk about today in the video I’m not going to go over all of them but everybody seemed to be worried about ladders and since they’re removing the Collision off of ladders where meaning if you fall if you fall from a far distance and land on a ladder that you would actually take damage so you’d be injured by that so they remove that so now but everybody was worried about it was going to affect their parkour Maps Doesn’t seem to be the case looks like we can still jump and land on them so don’t worry about that I think everything’s fine there the one thing about ladders that everybody else was worried about or I was worried about especially is that ladders will no longer hold up objects because they Don’t have collisions so since I have this minecart elevator here obviously that affects something now in if you saw if you saw the first video I uploaded I had used glass panes and one of my subscribers Martok’s 9 actually reminded me that I can use trapdoors so thanks Buddy I appreciate that I have no idea why I forgot about trapdoors I had tried fence post then I just I use glass panes and then you had to remove a block from the side because glass panes will fill up like a full block too but anyway so For those of you that have something like a minecart elevator or you’re using ladders to prop things up definitely use trapdoors because it leaves the biggest opening in the hole especially at least for trapdoors let’s get that ladder back the other thing that you can now use ladders for That we’re not a great idea before is to prop up water for water drops it if you had ladders here previously there was a possibility that you would take damage hitting the ladder which is why they remove the collision also so that is fixed now so that is about it if you Wanted to see what happens now if you use ladders why don’t we test it out real quick so this is how I used to have the minecart elevator I would have ladder and let’s see have a real track and there you go so the minecart used to just rest on the Ladder there it no longer does but luckily we have trapdoors that works well now so I’m here in a just a newly generated map in creative mode and one of the other things they updated in this recent snapshot is that they’ve they’ve smooth the color transitions between Biomes and I’m not sure if I can actually see any of that but or if we can tell the difference but I’m going to just fly through here and see if we can we can tell they also made the biomes a little bit more varied so hills and Forests I guess this might be a forest it doesn’t I’m not sure but uh looks like looks like there’s some you know little small random hills when normally this might be a little bit flatter so that should actually be pretty cool to add add some you know smaller features To the terrain just you know little hills and mountains and things like that let’s see if we can find a desert so here’s the beginning of a desert now the transition doesn’t really appear to be any different in between the forest and the desert but what what they did do Actually is add some more hills to the deserts so it’s not going to be as flat I guess so I guess this would be kind of an example of that where there’s kind of a hill area that normally you wouldn’t find in the desert deserts are a little Bit flatter than that usually so let’s check this out see if there are any more hills here yeah so it’s a little bit different not too much so anyway there’s a just a quick overview of some of the changes that they’ve made I mainly just wanted to show the ladders so once again I will put a link to the Mojang site that it has the full list of details and it also has a link to the download where you can update update to this version if you want to and that’s about it so we’ll talk to you guys later Video Information

Minecraft Snapshot [12w01a] just came out with a few minor updates and bug fixes. Now that they’ve removed the collision effects from ladders, you don’t take fall damage on them, but you can no longer use ladders to prevent other items from falling (like minecarts).
This caused my minecart elevator to break, so I’ll show a couple alternative ways to fix the issue.
