UNBELIEVABLE! Mojang Just Dropped 50 NEW Blocks & Redstone – Minecraft 1.21 Update

The new copper and tough blocks were just added in today’s snapshots and betas by Mojang this is for Minecraft 1.21 but they just added 10 new variations of the tough blocks along with five new types of copper block there’s actually 20 new copper blocks if you count all the oxidization and

There’s actually 40 if you count all the variations so we’re getting at least 50 new blocks in Minecraft 1.21 and there’s even more like the Redstone uses and bats so let’s take a look at these 40 new types of blocks we have of course the chiseled copper block the copper

Great this right here is the lovely copper bulb which comes in the off- powerered state and of course the powered State as well and you’ll notice that when it is actually getting Redstone power it has a nice little red dot on it that includes on the off stage

As well as you can see there of course we also have the Copper Door and copper trapo now surprisingly you can just open these by hand I expected them to be like iron doors and you only be able to open them with levers and other power sources

But yeah this this is a legitimate door that you put on the front of your house and of course we also have the tough blocks we have the Chisel tough block right here all of the lovely polish tough tough bricks and of course the chuzel tough bricks as well now as

You’ll notice that there is slabs and stair and wall variants of the polished and brick variants and of course we have our nice detail blocks with the chiseled and chiseled there’s two types of chiseled it’s very confusing the most interesting of these blocks is the copper bulb which is a light source that

Will slowly get dimmer as it oxidizes so unlike Redstone lamps that require a constant source of power to stay turned on the cober bulbs are self-powering so if you pulse these guys with an observer or any Redstone signal as you can see they’re actually going to stay turned on

However these are not a solid block so as you can see this one is being powered by The Observer but it’s not powering the ones next to it if we replace that with a solid block as you can see then all the ones next to it get powered so

This means that that we can put a lever on this guy and it will only Power that one it’s not going to power the ones next to it which is actually really useful so the copper bulb is a one block T flip-flop that means that when we

Power it it gives an on state with a comparator and when we unpower it it still gives that on state but then when we pulse it again it’s going to turn into an off State so it flips between on and off which is exactly what we need

For so much Redstone this is basically a one block Redstone component which is amazing we don’t get that very often in Minecraft right now regardless of the state of oxidization on the copper bulb it’s always going to give us the same signal output which is signal strength

Of 15 now that is useful but I think that this signal strength should Decay and get less powerful the more oxidized the block is this would allow us to set up more automated oxidization machines and this would allow us to know when our copper is being fully oxidized and that

Feature alone would make a lot of Davids very happy the first question we always have with new Redstone components is can you push them with a piston and yes you can this is going to be incredibly useful because this is now a mobile power source and unlike a redstone block

We can actually push this upwards with a piston as well now typically if you try to do that on Java Edition it’s just going to self- power as you can see there because of Quasi connectivity of course you know we don’t have to worry about that on the Chad Bedrock Edition

But this is fantastic for Java Edition because now we can read this with comparators and it’s going to be so good for compaction legitimately this one block is amazing so what about these copper grates well I thought that these would have a lot of potential but it

Seems like they don’t really have any features right now for instance they cannot be water logged and Bubbles don’t go through them which is a suggestion that I saw on Twitter Beacon beams do actually go through them and they cannot be powered with redstone so they’re not

A solid block as you can see the comparator is not reading through it and Redstone Dust can go up the sides of them but it cannot go down the sides of them so light is able to pass through these things and I highly doubt that

Mobs are able to spawn on top of them another potentially fun idea is that less light is able to pass through these things the more oxidized that they get I think that could just be kind of a cool thing but let me know what other features you think they should add to

The Great because there’s a lot of potential with it it’s a really nice looking Block it’s kind of like copper leaves to be honest so the copper bulb gives out less light the more oxidized it gets as you can see it gets pretty dark pretty quickly and this is actually

A really nice mechanic because then once you get it to the level that you want you can wax it to keep it at that level I’m pretty sure this is the only variable light source in Minecraft that can have multiple different light outputs but maybe I’m wrong about that

Either way as you can see we can you know scratch this thing off with an axe and it gets brighter as it goes by and then of course you can wax it if you want to and you can wax off wax on wa oh that’s the actual you know text names oh

I was I was making the joke but Mojang Mojang made the joke years ago okay I’m going to go jump in the ocean so I have a feeling you might not be happy about these crafting recipes let’s get the big bad news out of the way first it’s six

Entire blocks of copper for two yeah I said that right two copper trap doors and it’s also six copper blocks for three copper doors which by the way a lot more material cuz one door is equal to two trap doors in material and somehow we get three of these which

Equals six trap doors and you know what it’s time that we update the crafting recipe for trap doors because getting two from a craft is just nonsense but hey the copper great recipe isn’t so bad you just need four copper blocks in a diamond shape like that and as you

Probably expected the chiseled copper block is just two copper slabs and that gives you the lovely texture now what about the copper bulb that one’s actually really interesting cuz it uses blaze rods Redstone and then three copper blocks and that actually gives you four of the copper blocks so this is

Not a bad way to multiply your copper output so wait a second moang you’re telling me that we can turn three copper blocks into four copper blocks but we can turn six copper blocks into two tiny little slivers of a copper block that’s like you know six pixels worth of copper

Block compared to that that and it’s literally twice as much copper for that as it is for this we need a crafting recipe Revolution somebody go start that please I’m I’m kind of busy oh you thought I was done no no no no no I got

More to say on this imagine if you had to pay six iron blocks to get two iron trap doors or six iron blocks for three iron doors uh no that’s not the recipe we have the standard recipe wait how do you craft it that’s iron bars oh no it’s

It’s four to one even that’s so much cheaper that’s even better than I thought it was yeah but no it is six iron to three doors though so no matter which way you cut it copper is an absolute scam I’m sorry to say it I’m sorry to ruin the entire update but you

Know what but for real two copper trap doors cost the same amount as eight copper bulbs or 12 slabs I the there’s no balance there this is by far the lest recipe in Minecraft Steve Steve needs to get better at making trap doors I have no other comments on the matter okay I’m

Going to work up we need to go look at some reasonable recipes for tough everything about this is absolutely reasonable you turn your four tough into four polish tough turn your four polish tough into four tough bricks and then you turn your tough bricks into the

Slabs or you turn them into the stairs nothing about this makes no sense and even better you can turn the tough slabs straight into the Chisel tough block as well so all of this is pretty standard brick and stone and deep slate recipe combinations but copper oh man so here’s

The lovely new bat texture the face ears and wings have all been updated I love the little subtle purple on there now that does not mean that the bats have had their pathf finding updated or that they’re somehow considered smart now if I put down a lava source within 1,000

Blocks he’s still going to fly into it just want to test my hypothesis real quick straight straight to the lava he doesn’t even try this is their one goal in life is to spawn in and then immediately go into the lava how are they so dumb they’ve been dumb for 20

Years all of these lovely new blocks combined with the crafter is making 1.21 pretty solid and remember we’re still waiting on the breeze and the trial spawners and dungeons to be added in future snapshots so there is more stuff to look forward to definitely subscribe that way you don’t miss a future
