Swimming Bird – Minecraft 1.7 & 1.6.3 Snapshot: Giant Portals, Mesa Biome Changes, New Far Lands, Chat PMs, Commands

This video intended for educational purposes hey guys it’s adam ak’s swimming bird and welcome back for another minecraft snapshot we are in 13 w 37b this week and there’s a lot of new features and i want to spoil those but first I want to talk also about one

Point six point three the pre-release came out for that today so we’ll probably getting that in a week and the big fix is also one that’s going to be in 1.7 as well that’s in the snapshot its structures like which Hut’s and other fortresses etc they weren’t

Getting saved with the world file so there are a lot of issues with that but that has been remedied so we’re going to get a fix for that I was hoping we would get maybe some lag fixes for zombies and horses and stuff but it seems like 163

Is just going to fix this one bug but it’s still a good thing while we’re flying around this Mesa here I also want to show you they actually went through and changed the way mesas generate and I’ve got a few screenshots you’re seeing now to compare the first one will be the

Old generation and the others the new they removed some of the thickness of the orange layers it seems that that seems to be the main change and it makes them look a bit more natural not a little too colorful like they were before I still like the like red and

Yellow and stuff at the top so I’m glad they didn’t change that and now that we’re back in here you’re going to see one of the other huge features that dinnerbone added portals can now be anywhere from 5 or 4 by 5 to 23 by 23

And you can see this is a 23 by 23 portal here and it is insane you can do some really cool stuff I’ve got a little creeper design here which you can accomplish by making another portal layer in between and then I just kind of

Filled it in on each side to make it look like that’s part of it so you could build a big portal like this and then design something around it like over here I’ve got a little Tetris screen looks like it’s raining a little Tetris game going on with the ice there because

The way ice works the transparency doesn’t allow to see something else behind it so it kind of meshes weirdly with that but you can block out parts of the portal and make some really cool designs I’m going to fly through here to show you got some Pigman coming through but on

The other side here you can see that the the portals only generate tiny portals on the other side which is kind of strange they won’t generate the same size probably so it doesn’t just destroy the nether when someone makes a huge portal but you can make all these little

Designs as you see there’s like three portals over there they have to be rectangular in size but they can they can be pretty big as you can see when we break this here so this is a giant room that I made of obsidian and if I light

This up you can make like portals go in different directions and it’s crazy it’ll stretch them over really strangely but you can see all these particles flying around I could see like a really cool minigame where someone’s like doing portal generation you’re trying to like light a portal and get somebody else to

Go through it and everything and speaking of the lighter here’s a little bug fix for you the lighter will now make a sound and light of the creeper when you ignite it if you right-click on them so it’ll make your hand move do a little click and then it’ll make the

Creeper light and ignite and and blow up like so so yeah the portal thing is really cool you can’t intersect portals that I found because I tried to do that over here that doesn’t seem to be working but this does open up a lot more at least four designs and you can make

Some huge portals as you can see so some of the other really cool stuff they’ve added a ton of new commands and fix them the old ones so the chat has a ton of new commands now such as being able to do things like this this is a very kind

Of a complicated command but you can do stuff like there’s all of it in there in the text if you want to recreate it but this will basically make this colored text in here and now I can click you look up at the skies I do this I can

Click on these little links here and it will do commands so I can either make it nighttime or daytime very easily same thing over here with game mode I can do that this one’s not colored but I can do survival and I can do creative very easily in my options there so that’s

Pretty cool some of the other things here you can do this too this is another command that I’ll show you in the that will give me a diamond sword and give me lore in it as you can see it pops up in the chat here and you can see that it has its

And everything when you hover over in the chat you don’t have to have it in your inventory so if you give somebody something the people in the chat can be like hey what is that oh cool that’s what it that’s what it is I’ve got this

Sword here but I don’t know if what I should do with it let me let me figure out what I need to do oh hey how’s it going buddy let me just give you this I think this is yours there you go all right now what i can i

Can use my little friend here to do something he’s going to do the tell rawr a rock man sorry and he’s going to send me a little message here in the chat and it’s going to say something here in a second there we go and you see it pops

Up so you can do i’ll do the same thing to him so you guys can see tell raw sir treachery and i can do anything a and it’ll send them a private message like he did me it won’t show up in the chat it goes straight to that person so now

You can send people pms through the chat system some other things oh this is pretty cool chat spoiler so i can make this little command here to do spoilers in the chat and as you can see it says this is a spoiler and if you hover over

It it tells you what the spoiler is with the hover event command and I did like don’t hover over that if you don’t want to see or whatever but you can do stuff like that some of the other really cool commands the new set block feature now

It takes place of the summon command people were doing some in falling sand entity used to try to play stuff but now you can use this and it will set blocks I set the stone block up here but obviously you can use crazy and commands like amounts of this to generate entire

Structures and stuff like that so that’s pretty cool if you wanted to do more in this little chat block what’s really cool is that they removed the character limit so now it used to be 256 but now it’s been removed so people can do insanely long commands in there and have

Them work and this is a funny little command here I can do too if I hit done it pops up in the chat so you guys can copy that if you need but if you don’t want a wooden button it and I spawned a stone button so you can spawn certain

Stuff blocks that were kind of hard to spawn in before and but now you can do that like so because I don’t know if you could do a falling to be for a button so yeah there’s all those a one really weird thing here now

The Far Lands if you if you know about that it’s any area past 30 million in one direction and it will generate really weirdly but now there’s a new way that the far lines generate if you can see when i teleported it pushed me a little

Bit well these are the new Far Lands here I’m going to fly up and show you and if I fly towards it I can figure out what direction it is it’s this way it’s not letting me fly if you see I’m at twenty nine million nine hundred nine

Thousand hundred ninety nine right on the edge it won’t let me go any farther but as he like the trains not generating strange past then it just doesn’t let you go farther but you can do a little bit of finagling here if I could do it

I’ll go back and do survival and if I can throw my ender pearl just right on the edge here there we go so oh I want the thing I didn’t mean to do that there we go now I’m at thirty million this is as far as I can go so even if I

Was to throw my ender pearl it would just fall through the ground past there is not solid but it pushes you back out when you try to go through so it’s kind of strange but that’s just how the farlands work these days I guess they rather than just have you fall through

Something they wanted to do a just a solid wall to block you there so let’s I can illustrate this let’s let’s put push this button here and then I will just click this in the chat to go back and creative there you go so that’s easy if you’re building or you

Want it to be daytime or nighttime that’s a good way to have these commands to like set it up and then you can go back and forth between them this little head here was the in the other video the lack of the last snapshot I did I

Believe before the the cat sounds you can check that out how to get these heads you’re basically just spawning in with it with a specific skull owner and this is a new one if you do mhf cake you can get a little cupcake kind of small cake there so that’s pretty cool

So there’s also like tests for block command was added so they can test if there’s a block they’re like oh this is going to be very useful for map makers and people to try to to you know have more inventive stuff to do in the game another thing that

That’s a little unfortunate the locked chest and other technical blocks have been removed so if you’ve ever used the burnt like ever burning furnace or the weird stone block that’s kind of a different colored from the piston lots of blocks like that have all been removed because I think they’re trying

To get rid of some of the bugs involved with those so those are going to be gone from people’s inventories unless they change that before one-point-seven comes out some of the other bugs that they fixed in this where pig men were still spawning from nether portals when it’s

On peaceful so that should happen no longer water and ice were transparent on fast graphics for a little bit but now they should be see-through again yeah as you can see I can look through them they’re a little more boxy now on fast but it almost looks like an ice cube

Tray that’s kind of cool so I’ll go back back to fancy here like I’m used to the game would crash when you would go out into the farlands all the time but they fix that by adding that wall there the flowers they used to give rota poppies

Or roses and dandy lines used to give you to die but now that the tall flowers here give you like roses and lilacs those give you to die they standardize this so you only get one die from any of the singular flowers so you’re going to

Get less rose red and less yellow die from Danny line yellow from those two but it makes it more standardized so I mean it makes sense why they did that but that is pretty much it they fix them some stuff with the give command everything but a lot of it was getting

All these commands worked out we got the cool portals and stuff like that and the changes to the Mesa generation everything hopefully they’re not winding down already with 1.7 because we just got these uh these snapshots going here but they have been working on it for a

Lot longer than the last couple weeks obviously because they added so many new things but I’m really hoping that we get more one-point-seven features I want more biomes I want more stuff I want mobs and the new biomes that type of thing but we’ll see what Dinnerbone and

Jeb get to so as the sky darkens in the storm thank you guys for watching leave a like if you did enjoy this and one last thing I want to show you here let me go down here and see if I can do it I have this giant that

I spawned and he’s got a minecart on him and I should show you guys the command just in case you want to do that there it is my cart rideable in a giant and if I click in his neck I should be able to jump in this minecart it’s a little

Tough to do but I can get inside of him just very strange but you can get in the minecart and then ride him around and he can’t hit you there we go so now I hope I accidentally got out it looks like he can’t hit you when you’re in him there

We go so I can kind of ride around and from the front it actually looks like I’m like wearing a giant suit phil yeah if he moves his head up it’s like i’m wearing a weird giant suit i’m inside of him controlling him and he’ll kind of go

In the direction that you look like if i were to go in survival he’ll just kind of move around trying to hit me it’s very hard to control though so it’s not really that rideable but there goes trying to run around and hit me he can’t

Get me though unless i jump out then he hits me anna died so thank you guys for watching i gotta get out of here this giant’s gonna get me um how about a flower doing a flower buddy thanks for watching guys i’ll see you next time for more minecraft snapshots goodbye Oh
