Hallo and welcome today is Thursday and for a long time that hasn’t meant anything but actually today it does Mojang have released a new snapshot for Minecraft 1.8 we’re looking at 14 w 17 a and there are actually quite a few cool changes which we’re going to go look at Now most of these however aren’t actually in game but they will affect a big part of the game so the first one will have a little look at then is the server listing as you can see now you can actually reorder your service which is a small thing but something quite Cool actually i think obviously people probably have service they play on more i know i do so that’s cool to be able to real to them and you can also use this big arrow button here to join them as well and as well as that we’ve also got Some new options now i’m not going to go too much into detail on this because mojang actually released the video going over quite a lot of it so that’s going to be in the description if you want to go watch that but let’s let’s have a Little look at it so what we’ve got then is we’ve actually got a new world type and we can actually completely customize our worlds and I mean completely there is an option for everything as you can see on this page we can set the sea level we can set whether strongholds Mine shafts ravine spawn we could use caves religious temples dungeons what like you could choose everything you can choose the rarity you can even set by them specific so you will only have that biome and its covers everybody miss even in this game you’ve got sizes then You’ve got another page and this one’s really really cool this was I don’t think this was in the video maybe it wasn’t i missed it but i didn’t think they were going to do anything like this but you can actually set and completely customize the way things spawn including Oars so you can choose how big of a pull they’ll spoil net they’ll spawn in you can choose the max height they’ll spawn at how hard it will try to spawn them a minimum height you can set everything which i think is very very very cool and These next few pages are as it says expert users only i’m not hundred said sure what these are but these change things and here i think you could I think this page is just to set these at more accurately than sliders but what we’re actually going to do is I need to Get in a game so i can show you some things so let’s just hit randomized a bunch of times and it done and let’s let’s do this let’s see that does let’s create our new world with these random options let’s have a look this might take a minute to a to Load up and then we’re gonna wait for it to render a little bit but there is another very cool feature which I can show you once we are in game turns out I’m in the water it’s what have we done then Wow we’ve create a village in the Water that’s pretty cool we’ve got some very weird generation going on here it kind of looks like everything’s been squished and my frame rates dropping a lot but that’s obviously because the world’s rending for the first time yeah we’ve got some very weird and what’s going on with this biome is this a Savannah I’m getting a lot of lag from this yeah it is a savanna plateau yes so this is a looking pretty weird that’s quite a cool quite a cool feature that I do think this is gonna this is going to mean a lot of stuff for a lot of people People are gonna be able to create such crazy worlds and it can be very very very good right so the next come on then why have I got caps on let me go over 200 olc doesn’t work with the caps let me try that one again let me go over 200 Now this is one that I’ll be honest I’m not one hundred percent sure exactly how the syntax works I can only seem to get it to do this at 0-0 and I’ve messed about with it a bit and I’m obviously missing the point but we now have a way To create world borders and we can do that with out the use of any kind of plug in and messy ugly bed rock walls we don’t need mcedit or anything like that we just need the one command which is well border and as you can see here it Tries to tow the syntax it doesn’t actually help you very much but if you type in well bought a set it will give you the it will give you the syntax so what we can do then is we can set this we can set this size in block so let’s Set it to five blocks and let’s just see what it looks like and then we go so you can see this is five blocks wide and we are in the center it centers at 0-0 it seems and you can see the animation for it it’s very very very cool and it goes All the way up forever and down forever and it’s very good and there is one other thing you can do with this now so let’s make this a little bit bigger that’s make this one hundred and I assume this is done so it will and a combat lag because it’s obviously These must count as blocks or entities or something similar so this must be for like but you can actually set the time it takes for the world border to expand to that size now hopefully you’re going to be able to use minus because you could probably do some very cool things With survival game maps and stuff if you could shrink the border let me let me do that then so we do 10 let’s do five seconds and this will take now five seconds to become 100 wide and there you go and it kind of spreads out which i Think is quite cool and then we can what we should be able to show you now is as you get further away the texture starts to fade out but it looks like we’re a little bit too close yeah a little bit too close but um let’s send it on a Mission let’s send it to a thousand and as you can see it does fade out so it’s not an ugly thing you’re always looking at currently there is no logic in place for being outside of the border if you’re outside of the border you are stuck basically and i also am not Confidential on how to remove the border just how to resize it so it could just be this this will change this is a snapshot as you will know by now so so it turns out in fact i was a little bit wrong and you can definitely set the Center of the world border with the command world border center after that you type in your x and z coordinates so let’s let’s move this then so you can see that in action so we’ll go world border center and let’s move it to where Are we zero 26 let’s move it 20 26 and you’ll see that now centers around us another thing that I failed to mention was that the world borders actually set at 60 million blocks by default when you’ve spawned a brand-new world so there goes the Far Lands that’s what We’ve got going on with the world border which i think is a very cool feature so let’s let’s jump out of this then let’s head over to my test world and I’ll show you the other little feature that we’ve got going on so there is one other thing Which I’ll mention because it can’t really show you there’s not much point in showing you and that is that they reverted all of the minecart changes and I’m not sure how I feel about that because I thought it made them a little bit more realistic maybe not the speed But the corners and the jumping and stuff that was kind of cool so what we’ve got here then is I need to pick this stuff up we now have a new model for the end of mites as you can see here now you recently were purple silver fish Or you come back here and now they are little blobs very similar but different nonetheless then our little blobs which is very cool i’m glad that they did get their own thing wow they’re all kind of freaking out right now as well I’d I am very glad that they got um they got Their own textures and the other thing that actually is not quite a feature yet because i don’t think it’s implemented properly which is why it isn’t working but i want to show you anyway so it’s kind of funny the mug bond between it tweeted out the other day about how when You share a sheep in the pocket edition and it’s colored it you could still see what color is and you can’t do that in the in the full game so i think the idea was that when you had a colored cheap and you shared it it would show you the Color underneath but what’s actually happened is we now get yellow wool from blue sheep and apparently it’s not just blue sheep apparently this works with all of the sheep i would just get anyone apparently they’re all the wrong color so that’s obviously a bug that will be Changed that is not on purpose i’m sure unless it’s just for a little bit of fun during the snapshot but it will go back to normal i’m definitely fat but yeah that’s just something i thought i’d show you so there is one other bug that actually kind of hints to something Changing soon and i really hope that it doesn’t it’s not just an around bug that is that when you stack half slabs with these stone ones it connects the textures and i think that looks so much better but the reason i’m saying it’s a bug is because if you do this with any Other stone it turns into one of these so hopefully the bug is that they will turn into these and shouldn’t and eventually only the stone ones will turn into this but yeah it could just be a bug and at the moment all the wood slabs are okay they they turn into wood into The planks but these sadly turn into this so if you do log into your world in the snapshot and suddenly all of your slabs turn into stone you now know why so that pretty much covers all of this remember if you do want to see the world customization in better detail then head To the description i’ve got the mo yung video down there and you can what oh yeah if you want to grab this snapshot
