Minecraft Legacy Edition: Netherite and Crossbow Mod
About a week ago, a video titled “Minecraft Wii U Netherite Pickaxe Test” caught the attention of many Minecraft enthusiasts. The video showcased a mod that introduced Netherite, a material previously exclusive to Java and Bedrock editions, to the Legacy Edition of Minecraft. The mod was created by Vylryna, a member of the English community of Minecraft Wii U. This groundbreaking development has the potential to revolutionize the Legacy Edition of Minecraft, and it’s worth taking a closer look at the details.
The Netherite Pickaxe
The video begins by demonstrating the Netherite pickaxe, obtained through commands. The pickaxe’s item ID, “minecraft:netherite_pickaxe,” is identical to its Java and Bedrock counterparts. The description highlights its ability to mine strong blocks and ores, as well as its resistance to lava. The mod also showcases the pickaxe’s appearance in a player’s hand and on an armor support and frame. A mining test reveals that the Netherite pickaxe is faster and more durable than the diamond pickaxe. Most impressively, the mod successfully prevents the pickaxe from burning in lava, a feature previously absent in the Legacy Edition.
The Quick Crossbow Showcase
In addition to the Netherite pickaxe, Vylryna also released a video titled “Minecraft Wii U Quick Crossbow Showcase.” This video introduces the crossbow, which functions similarly to its Java and Bedrock counterparts. Notably, the video also hints at the development of Netherite armor and tools, as well as a barrel, suggesting a comprehensive 1.16 update for Minecraft Wii U. Vylryna’s dedication to this project is evident, as he mentions that the programming took weeks to complete.
What’s Next?
While the introduction of Netherite and the crossbow to the Legacy Edition of Minecraft is a significant achievement, it raises questions about the potential expansion of these mods to other platforms. Vylryna’s work has sparked curiosity about the possibility of these mods being available on Ps3 and Xbox360. However, the porting issue and other technical challenges may present obstacles to this expansion. Additionally, questions remain about how these mods would interact with players who do not have them installed.
Despite these uncertainties, Vylryna’s efforts are commendable, considering the limitations and complexities of programming for Minecraft Legacy Edition. The community’s support for this project could encourage further advancements in modding for the Legacy Edition of Minecraft.
As the Minecraft community eagerly awaits further developments, it’s clear that Vylryna’s work has opened up new possibilities for the Legacy Edition. The introduction of Netherite and the crossbow demonstrates the potential for innovation and expansion within this version of the game.
