wattles – POWDER SNOW, FREEZING AND MORE! | Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs Snapshot 20w46a

Gamers how you doing it’s me your boy waddles welcome to the 20 w46a snapshot the second caves and cliff snapshot oh boy it’s a big day not as big as last week but definitely a big day today’s snapshot brings the edition of one brand new beautiful beautiful block

And tied to that brand new beautiful blog are a bunch of really really cool new mechanics in today’s video we’re going to dive into all of those mechanics and talk all about powder snow minecraft’s newest block as always if you enjoy the snapshot breakdown so you know what to do the like button

Turn it blue you can do it subscribe to and notification bell so so the 20w 45a snapshot what’s new well this week we have the addition of powder snow as well as a good handful of other changes a lot of those changes have to do with the textures of things but it’s obvious

Today we need to start with powdered snow so powdered snow actually made its way over to bedrock edition a couple weeks ago in the bedrock 1.16. like 200.52 beta a lot of numbers but i think those were the numbers if you caught that beta well then you already know a lot about

Powdered snow because it is pretty similar over here on java edition but i’ve got to say obviously bias here but i think java edition’s powdered snow is a little bit better it’s also trickier to deal with so on bedrock edition with powdered snow you could actually pretty much just jump

On the stuff and you wouldn’t fall into it with this one i’m jumping i’m jumping i’m jumping i’m trying as hard as i can but it’s not working i fall into powder snow pretty much no matter what and this is gonna happen even if let’s say i had

The head start of being on like the same block as powdered snow i’m gonna go ahead and start jumping and yep i just sink right down into the stuff it’s a whole lot more dangerous and honestly i like it that way now as of the snapshot powdered snow does not generate

Anywhere in your world but there is a really interesting way to farm the stuff in survival now this is kind of surprising so check this out i’m in creative mode i use the pick block button to grab the black and what do i get well i get a powder snow bucket not the

Black itself this is really really different guys check this out so i use the bucket and i place the block down the block comes from a bucket what even is this is this minecraft this is crazy this is so different and listen to the play sound it’s a it’s a unique play sound

Exciting right okay maybe not the most exciting thing but look at it that’s so different which is really really cool okay so now let’s say i’m in survival and i want to pick this stuff up i could walk up to it and break it like punch it

But nothing happens let’s say i actually want to pick it up i’m serious about this stuff well i grab a bucket an empty bucket of course and boom i can pick this stuff right back up so that’s how you collect powdered snow which is completely different than any other block in minecraft and

Yes i’m seriously excited about this one this is so so cool i love this functionality it definitely puts emphasis on this block definitely being more of like powder like it’s a weak block you know it can’t handle much at all i mean literally look at how quick that breaks

That breaks like really really quickly now powdered snow can indeed be stacked you can place powder snow on top of other powdered snow also you can place powdered snow in the air too that’s kind of interesting i wonder if that’s gonna be like that i feel like the stuff if it’s so light

Should definitely be gravity affected but for now this is the mechanic and yeah so just like bedrock edition you can move into this stuff now if you move into it and you go into third person this is what happens your camera isn’t trapped inside of the block this time

But notice the sides of the screen and then keep your eyes on the heart uh the heart bar at the bottom they’re going to change into something entirely new you see that what’s happening here well unfortunately your boy wattles is sitting in the snow and actually freezing

I am slowly freezing which is an entirely new mechanic i told you there are so many new things about powdered snow and it’s all so exciting so yeah right now i’m standing in in powdered snow and i am freezing once i’m frozen freeze damage is done every few seconds

To the frozen entity but hold up a frozen entity what did i just say about that yep that’s right frozen entity minecraft villager you will come with me so uh powdered snow does not only freeze players it also freezes entities so this minecraft villager chilling in the powered snow

I of course is going to move out of the powder zone hold on hold on all right we’ll set up a little uh experiment of sorts here so i put some barrier blocks around this thing obviously this wouldn’t happen in survival but check this out we dropped the villager into the powered

Snow and now we wait eventually this villager will freeze just like we did and the villager will unfortunately start taking damage definitely not good news for the villager not at all the villager is freezing which is so so cool now one thing that i’m very curious about i’m sure nothing’s gonna happen because

I mean it’s an armor stand but can we freeze the armor standing i mean somebody’s gotta ask it right can we freeze the armor stand what would happen probably nothing uh so we’ll just leave it back there while we check out some other stuff but maybe we’ll have some frozen arbor

Stands in a second so uh powdered snow let’s say i was exploring in an area where there would be a lot of powder snow probably the new mountains well if i grab some leather boots and then jump on top of the powdered snow check it i don’t slink down into the

Powdered snow anymore leather boots are the secret to powdered snow i really really like how mojang did this functionality because it means that leather actually kind of has a point in minecraft i mean leather is usually something that’s completely skipped over but now it at least lets you glide across powdered snow

Now if i were to just walk into the powdered snow with the leather boots on i will still go into the powdered snow and then start to freeze but let’s say i was really really loaded maybe i had that full set of leather armor

I have a full set of leather on then i go into the powdered snow and watch this so i’m gonna start freezing which will happen but i i have a full set of leather armor on which means freezing will not happen entirely so no matter how long i stand inside of

This block no matter how cold i get i’m not actually gonna oh no well this is awkward i promise i’m not making this stuff up it seems like there’s a bug right now but right here wearing a full set of leather armor prevents freezing entirely very very interesting doesn’t seem to

Work right now but that’s definitely going to be cool so a full set of leather armor should make you immune to freezing a pair of leather boots lets you walk right across powdered snow without sinking into it just like gold armor in 1.16 it seems that in 1.17

Leather armor will now actually have a point armor sand update they’re doing fine i don’t know if they’re frozen or not but they’re fine they don’t take damage of course as suspected the villager though the villager left so let’s say maybe it was raining right and

We were in a cold place like a really really cold biome kind of like this biome over here if i were to go say outside check okay i’m outside and then i were to place a cauldron down in the snow maybe a couple cauldrons if we were to

Give it some time these cauldrons would actually begin filling up with powdered snow so if you want to find or i guess more so farm powered snow and survival right now cauldrons are the key cauldrons have another use which is really cool in the last snapshot they got the whole lava cauldron functionality

And this one they get powdered snow functionality now let’s go ahead and see if maybe the random tick speed uh gamer controls this so let’s just go ahead and up it like crazy this might kind of crash the game um uh-huh it doesn’t seem like it okay well fair enough

Fair enough so let’s see if we can fast track this just to see how it would look powdered snow go in the cauldron right there oh look it it’s filling up perfect timing but yeah you can put the powder snow back in the cauldron and then

You can of course pick it out of the cauldron but how about this one can i take this not yet okay it’s not ready to go quite yet that makes sense so powdered snow it’s dangerous it comes with a brand new effect called freezing and you can collect the stuff with cauldrons overall

So far powdered snow is really really impressive looking so for powdered snow that actually just about does it now the other changes the new things in the snapshot are pretty small they’re more on the technical side of things but check this out in this snapshot we have some texture

Changes so let’s start over here with these items the candle texture has been updated entirely but not when you place it on the ground that looks exactly the same what we’re talking about here is the icon look at this these icons these these are so much better

If i’m being honest i kind of hated the the last snapshots candle icons these though these are pretty good looking i like those next up we have the copper ingot the copper ingot looks like it kind of honestly got a little more busy i i don’t know kind of hard to spot the

Difference here but it definitely looks a whole lot more busy the amethyst shard item also adds some small updates now moving on to the blocks we have first off a tinted glass the best way to talk about the tinted glass texture is i guess with comparison normal glass right there tinted glass

Right there it got a whole lot more similar now we have these little streaks in the corner kind of like with normal glass cut copper received some updates to me the cut copper block looks a whole lot more clean calcite and the lightning rod also received texture updates

Calcite still is looking as beautiful as ever now this one is definitely noticeable the amethyst and budding amethyst block both of these blocks got texture updates these textures got more busy definitely i mean check this out it still works in a tile uh unfortunately you can’t get it in

Survival but yeah it looks like amethyst has some more shines on it in both the budding version and the normal amethyst block version everything else about the blocks are the same to my knowledge but the texture it’s a whole lot more busy honestly i kind of like the old amethyst texture

A little bit more if i’m being honest but one texture is absolutely amazing stay seated gamers check this out the new bundle texture oh my gosh look at that that looks so good and i feel like it’s so medieval looking it fits minecraft’s vibe it looks good and then let’s say the bundle

Had some things in it well this is what the bundle would look like then and then oh boy definitely make sure you’re seated check this out oh that button window oh that’s a beautiful bundle window that looks good oh yes that looks so good now i want to run an experiment here

Let’s go ahead and unload this bundle then use it to pick up things i want to see what happens if we get like a lot of random items inside of this bundle will that window continue expanding or will it fill up oh it looks like it expanded it like

Continued expanding for all of these items okay okay this is really cool but what we’re gonna need to do is actually get even more items i need like so many items boom i have a lot more items let’s go ahead and start picking all of these up

They’re all unique items i want to see what happens will this continue expanding forever or does it fill up oh it continues expanding all the way it looks like oh this is such a good way to do things that that menu right there i can settle for that that definitely

Looks really really good still miss that minecraft live one but this bundle display whoo that’s a clean bundle display now i don’t expect anything to have been changed here but let’s just check it out we have a shulker box we grabbed the shellacker box so we have items in it yup

No change there a little bit of a bummer in this week’s snapshot a change has been made to the lightning rod and how it works the range of a lightning rod has now been doubled and then in terms of other things things start to get a whole lot more technical

Here is the changelog right here you can go ahead and pause the video if you want read this section right in here and then down here even more technical changes but i will go ahead and leave this changelog linked down in the description below today just like i did last week if you’re

Interested in this kind of technical stuff i definitely recommend checking it out because there is a lot here so powdered snow the texture changes the new bundle ui what do you think definitely share your thoughts down in the comments below now these texture changes aren’t final the devs are just

Working on the textures right now testing things out so if you have any big strong takes on something definitely share it with the devs but remember be epic game or don’t be mean gamer today big shout out to my patrons realistic and violet pirate thank you so much for the support it has
