OMG Minecraft 1.20.80 NOW! 40+ New Features! 🤯

[Music] hello I’m epx toy cat and good news everybody the armored pors update is now here this is the last minutor update for 1.20 and it’s available for all bedro platforms right now and unlike most minor updates which bring a few features and then mostly bug fixes this update has the bug fixes which are interesting in their own bright but it also has a brand new mob it has eight brand new mob variants and a whole new way to customiz things which is absolutely incredible and today we’ll dive into all of those things and the weird experimental things in this the big salmon Edition with that said though let’s jump into the brand new features because you might know that the mob vote winner from last year has officially been added to Minecraft the armadillo is in fact here and they have quite a few fun features the first of those being they spawn in Badlands they drop sko periodically but also can be brushed if you want to get some although again just hanging a out around them we’ll get you some too uh they also can be lead and bred with spider eyes so if I grab some right here I’ll attract the attention of any nearby armadillos which will run away if I Sprint nearby them very very cute animations by the way and interestingly I can breed them just like this too they’ll roll up when they’re hurt or when other players are Undead mobs are sprinting or when they’re on a mount so if I’ve got a horse right here the exact same thing will happen I’ll terrify all of the armadillos that aren’t in boats when they’re in boats the rules seem to be a little bit different which is entirely understandable or entirely not understandable depending on your perspective but yes that means we have baby armadillos and this is the the cutest and perhaps most fully featured mob vote winner we’ve had in a very long time because it doesn’t just come by itself it brings in the ability to br br you to get wolf armor because wolf armor is crafted from the armadillo scut when you have armadillo scutes you can take them together just like so in this weird almost H formation to make some wolf armor and wolf armor itself is useful enough it allows wolves to absorb a lot more damage unless it is from drowning freezing suffocating magic fors the wer effect the void entity cramming SL kill or from the warden’s chronically charged Shak you know the I I don’t know how often a warden is going to attack a dog but give mind outside of those situations wolf armor will give you a big buff to your Wolf’s effective Health which is really really great this wolf armor can also be dyed using cauldron so I can make black wolf farmer or red W wolf farmer or yellow wolf farmer or indeed you can mix them together in fun ways too it has to be mixed in The Cauldron not outside of it and then you can throw this wolf armer onto a wolf if you really want to absolutely wonderful 16 brand new wolf farmer colors is what I would say is incredible if that was the number that was coming but actually it’s something more like 16 million because you can mix as many times as you like so wolf customization is insane in this update and oh yeah by the way it’s not just the fact that that’s in here we also have eight brand new wolves if you go into an old growth Pine biome you’ll find black wolves go into a chest an old grp Spruce biome and you’ll find the chestnut wolf honestly there should be a chestnut biome though right um the Ashen wolf spawns in the snowy tiger the rusty wolf spawns in the sparse jungle our current wolf will just be found you know the OG will found in the tiger meanwhile you can find the snowy wolf in the Grove the striped wolf in the wooded Badlands and then the spotted wolf in the savannah and the woods wolf in the forest this is going to be the new default wolf if you will and honestly it makes a lot more sense to look like this than to look like this although I would have to question at this point why is it that Mojang has this big thing about like oh we don’t want to encourage animal cruelty but the only animals in Minecraft that are table the in real life that are tamable the cat and the fox um are you know only one of those as table in Minecraft and then there’s a animal which is tameable in Minecraft which you cannot just tame with wolves with with bones in real life do not try to tame one of these guys uh it might go poorly for you but you know that’s a point for a different time I’m glad that wolves had this big update but it’s not the only thing that happened in 12080 which by the way we should mention is the last update in 1.20 after this we be 1.21 aside from Hawk fixes of course but with that said we can Now quickly dive into the rest of this update with these giant lily pads which I think are a lot of fun so first things first the new death screen is no longer experimental again this is for Bedrock so you won’t be experiencing this death screen on Java I quite like it though I think it’s handy um also notably is the fact that uh in this update by the way uh despite the new death screen and despite all of the new features this does not bring in hardcore in any form we’ll talk about that more later though when we get to EXP experimental features cuz there is a whole set of that in here but next up we have missing texture texture is now a dirt block with a brown question mark which is an interesting one to say the least we also have the maximum render distance on Xbox series x/s increased from 28 to 36 chunks I am really glad that Mojang is putting in this care uh for the uh you know Xbox one uh or the Xbox series consoles because I know a lot of you watching this video will be playing Minecraft on a console it feels so often like they ignore us on a console I mean just You Know M minor rant here aside I feel like Mojang really does look at the console editions and say yeah we’ll get round to that at some point despite all the work they put into moving it to bedrock they thought that was enough work but ultimately I think that as a community we actually need to look at it and say well the fact that they put the effort into moving us to bedrock is why they should put in the effort like this I’m glad they did and I hope they continue that for other platforms next up fully grown cocoa pods always drop free chalkies those are cocoa beans for non-british enabled people which is really really cool it means that instead of going through all the effort of growing one of these and potentially getting less drops you’ll always get a full free now also loading tips now show for longer before moving on to the next one they are putting a lot of work into making sure that Minecraft can kind of intuitively teach you things which is why we have new loading tips that came in the last update and now they’re making sure they show for a bit longer because especially for new players when they’re giving you those beginning tips they need to make sure you’re actually going to see them if you’re reading speaking of reading feedback button has has been moved from the title screen to general settings so if you want to hit feedback you don’t go to the main menu you go to settings and then General and then I I don’t see it I’ll be honest with you well that’s a funny line on the change log isn’t it speaking of funny lines on the change log you might appreciate that Shields can now partially block damage from guardian and ELD Guardian laser attacks this is going to be a hard one to show off but we’ll do our very best anyway we’ll thr away our coco beans and our wolf armor and our new armadillo skut so that I can grab a a guardian and oh no he’s going to attack me better whip out my shield and used my Bedrock way of using this which is to crouch and now I can show you something which I’ll tell you I’ve appreciated after playing hardcore in the 1.21 previews it is nice to have some way to avoid some amount of the damage on this half a heart is a huge benefit and I do have to say I think a blocking the attack altogether wouldn’t be fair but bringing it down a lot does help to improve the value of the shield I still think it’s insanely op personally but you know there’s a lot of things that are op just like if you’re a creative player if you use commands they’ve split up the IDS of Oak Spruce Birch jungle Acacia and dark oak saplings as well as the block IDs for Coral fan variants what this effectively means is if you’re using commands to say set block and then you want to set it to a sappling which I I think is a bit of a confusing one you can now set the specific sapling rather than having to type sampling and then metad dating uh metadata rather which is really really handy I guess metad dating would be if if you wanted to date in VR something you know and that said I guess the important thing here is that holding the jump button while swimming at the surface no longer causes the player to lose oxygen this is such an annoying bug you’d be swimming in the water and then you would be at the surface but your head would be underneath it causing you to drown even though you at the top really really big fan of them fixing that one we also have horses and boats no longer slide to unexpected previous locations upon mounting or dismounting that is one that has been happening for a while that I didn’t even know it was a weird bug speaking of weird bug this is something that has probably been in the game for a while but I noticed it at the same time my editors did which is when you move something from a chest to your inventory there’s this nice animation if you can’t notice it I’ll zoom in on the inventory right now look at me moving something from my inventory to the chest it’s very very subtle but Minecraft Bedrock is filled with these unique little animations like the chest inventory coming up and coming down like that I think they are subtle improvements but I also think they’re the tiniest bit weird I think this is just like when you play Minecraft a lot or play any game a lot you start to notice these small things and go ah it’s not what I’m used to but personally I think it’s fine and even maybe good buckets can now once again pick up lava immediately after being placed to match the behavior of picking up a water bucket this was such an annoying bug you had to place it wait 3 seconds and then scoop it up I don’t know why fluids are so broken in Minecraft Bedrock CU still to this day it’s been uh you know seven years at least since I started playing Bedrock full time in 2016 uh you still cannot pick up water while you’re in water you have to leave the water and then pick it up I I I’m glad they’re fixing these minor you know placement issues but why is it that I have to be outside of a water source to break a water source I just don’t get it just like how I don’t get the fact that there is a you know there was a weird bug with Oak Spruce B Birch jungle Acacia and Darko slabs uh being able to not being turned into double slabs they previously placed like this rather than like this really nice to see that change and finally foxes are less likely to spawn in the Grove biome and rabbits are more likely to spawn so if you’re in a Grove biome which is one that looks like this you’ll find fewer foxes and more rabbits which is good because in real life we can tame actually both of those things but not in Minecraft you know the only thing that’s worth knowing about now is the fact that experimental features have in fact come here so the one big notable exception like I mentioned is Hardcore but basically everything else in 1.21 now besides mace enchantments can now be played with via this experimental feature so if you go into a brand new world and you hit this toggle you can basically play an early version of 1.21 that hasn’t been fully bug tested and that includes on top of everything we’ve seen before the brand new armor trims that includes the brand new Banner patterns that includes the heavy core the breeze rod and the mace which is wonderful uh and that also interestingly includes the brand new uh pot shirts and even better than that is the fact that if you’ve got compasses if you’ve got emeralds and if you’ve got a villager with experimental turned on you can now trade for a trial chamber map I want to wear my nearest one is let’s buy one and find out by the way uh he’s meant to ask for nine emeralds but clearly he asked for 13 inflation has been crazy since I sung Savannah all the way back then her anyway that said I want to quickly mention uh that the uh trial Chambers map is a really cool feature I still don’t think it’s working fully correctly uh but that’s something that they will be fixing between now and 1.21 because as great as this update is it has to be said that I I I think a lot of people are questioning why would Minecraft bring out quite a fully featured update with all of the brand new armadillo scuts and stuff like that if they know for a fact that they’re about to bring out an even bigger one and I kind of see this as like the amus bush of Minecraft updates it’s a nice small one before we get the very very big one and so 1.2.8 is here to give you some new features just to tied you over to keep you interested while they wait for the big trial chamber update which is of course coming with the next big one this is the last minor update video I’ll therefore be doing until presumably at least August however uh the whole minor you know there’s kind of three fixes of types of Minecraft update minor major and Bug fixes I do expect that we’ll see some bug fix updates soon after 1.21 and I imagine we’ll see 1. 21.10 in the first couple months after it’s release maybe even sooner wait look at that why is why is the dog poking through the wall like that but yeah just for now keep in mind that we are now on the road to 1.21 and that means the return of quite a few big things including big update questions and the like
