Transcripts

00:00

hello everyone and welcome to a very

00:02

exciting snapshot and update for

00:05

Minecraft to remember this is 24w 11a

00:09

for 1

00:10

120.5 and I've been reading my comments

00:12

and I've seen that this has been causing

00:14

some confusion Let me refresh your

00:17

memory the armadillo and the Wolf

00:19

changes that you've seen in recent

00:20

snapshots they are for 1. 120.5 the

00:24

trial Chambers crafter new copper blocks

00:27

the breeze mobs the tough blocks this

00:30

new weapon the things that you see

00:31

beside of me right here this is all for

00:35

1.21 and that's where we start today's

00:37

video because they've added an absolute

00:40

ton of stuff for the next major update

00:42

of Minecraft and before we go any

00:44

further I want to encourage you to

00:46

subscribe to my channel if you haven't

00:47

done so already so you can catch these

00:49

videos you can be informed and know

00:51

about the latest additions to this

00:53

wonderful game so let's start here in

00:55

what appears to be one of the new trial

00:58

chamber rooms to talk about the Breeze

01:01

not much has changed here other than

01:02

what it drops it used to be wind charges

01:06

and now it is the breeze rod and you may

01:10

notice how similar This breeze Rod is to

01:12

the rod that runs through the new mace

01:14

weapon which we'll get to soon so the

01:17

blaze drops the Blaze Rod the breeze

01:19

drops the breeze rod and you can

01:21

actually craft these into wind charges

01:23

so it's like they still drop wind

01:25

charges in a way so the breeze will drop

01:28

between one and two of these Breeze rods

01:30

and if you have the Looting enchantment

01:32

you can get a few more as well so on the

01:35

topic of loot the loot that you get out

01:37

of a vault using your trial key has been

01:41

updated and now the loot you get will

01:43

come from three separate loot tables and

01:46

from my testing it seems to be a mix of

01:49

all three with the common ones obviously

01:52

occurring more frequently than rare and

01:54

unique so if you draw from the common

01:57

loot table you can expect to see a

01:59

maximum of the amount of each item

02:01

listed here in the rare loot table

02:03

you'll only get one of each of these and

02:06

it includes Enchanted items and also

02:09

books with a random enchantment and yes

02:11

you can get mending from The Trial

02:12

chamber I should point out that these

02:14

are specific enchantments and yes

02:16

mending is one that you can actually get

02:19

and also when it comes to the loot table

02:21

some inventory management here has been

02:23

considered you're no longer going to get

02:24

more than one unstackable item per Vault

02:27

you're more often going to get rewards

02:28

that stack together and as you saw

02:30

you're no longer going to get the horse

02:32

armor and Saddles and now for The Unique

02:34

loot table you shall see our new smiing

02:38

templates Banner patterns and this thing

02:40

right here the heavy core and once again

02:43

notice the similarity to the mace this

02:46

new block initially appears to be rather

02:49

similar to the player head as you can

02:51

see the scale and the size of it seems

02:53

to be similar but it can't be placed

02:55

with this rotation nor can it be placed

02:58

on the side of a block even and does it

03:00

interact with redstone well it can be

03:02

pushed but it'll break off and from my

03:04

testing I couldn't really find any other

03:06

properties with this one its

03:08

functionality for now seems to be

03:10

crafting but it might get more uses in

03:12

the future we'll have to wait and see

03:14

also from the unique loot table we can

03:16

get two new Banner patterns we saw this

03:19

in the introduction of the video but

03:21

this one right here is known as Guster

03:24

the other one is known as Flo so gusta

03:27

on the left and Flo on the right now Flo

03:30

has the accompanying armor trim that you

03:32

can get from these loot tables and this

03:35

is the design with redstone applied to

03:38

iron armor the one on the left however

03:40

is known as Bolt and this is its design

03:44

things were a little cramped and gloomy

03:46

down there so I decided to pop up here

03:49

to the surface and we can take a look at

03:51

the design from all sides now these

03:53

templates require duplication inside of

03:56

a crafting bench let's go and check out

03:58

the recipe of flow you can see it needs

04:01

the new Breeze rod and bolt requires

04:04

just a copper block now as you may have

04:06

spotted in my inventory there are new

04:08

Pottery shirts down here we have one

04:11

that matches the gusta Banner as well as

04:13

the flow banner and a third one known as

04:16

scrape and as far as I could tell these

04:18

shirts are not available through

04:20

brushing suspicious sand but they are

04:22

found on various decorated pots that

04:25

generate in the trial chamber so here is

04:28

the gusta design the Flow Design and

04:31

lastly scrape and I got to say I really

04:34

like how they're tying in new aspects of

04:36

the game into existing systems here it

04:38

is really cool let's now move on to the

04:41

new combat weapon of this update the

04:44

mace and you've probably already guessed

04:46

how to craft it yes a breeze rod and a

04:50

heavy core so into a test world we go to

04:53

check out Minecraft's new weapon and the

04:56

reason that we're here is because of

04:58

this we can see see the health of the

05:00

mobs that we're about to attack and we

05:02

know that this thing does seven attack

05:05

damage but I'll go ahead and swipe one

05:07

of these just to confirm it but then

05:09

we'll also do a little jumpy jump in the

05:12

process and notice that it did more

05:14

damage than before that is because this

05:17

weapon relies on the player falling down

05:19

to deal more damage so let's jump from

05:22

up here and Bam one hit kill and did you

05:26

notice the other mobs around it jumping

05:28

if we fall from a distance above one and

05:30

1 half blocks it then has this knockback

05:33

effect on the other mobs around them

05:35

which don't take damage it's just the

05:38

one that we struck and that guy was

05:39

almost one hit kill I've just found a

05:42

really decent way to show you this

05:44

effect in more detail because the armor

05:46

stand is an entity so let's drop down

05:48

and then you can see how far they spread

05:51

out same thing again this time we're

05:53

falling from much higher up and this

05:56

time they've actually spread out pretty

05:57

much the same distance now now we're

05:59

going to try it with a much smaller

06:02

distance uh again it seems to be about

06:04

the same amount now the height of which

06:06

you fall from scales with the amount of

06:08

damage but we can already one hit kill a

06:10

creeper so now we summon the Iron Golem

06:14

and take out an extraordinary amount of

06:16

health so with nine blocks of full

06:19

distance we can take out over half of

06:21

its health and if we double that

06:23

distance almost one hit kill now I

06:26

believe that the damage is scaling

06:28

consistency but there are are some

06:30

variables here I have noticed that if

06:32

you land on the grounds and strike at

06:34

the exact same time it can still apply

06:36

the damage and if you do it a little too

06:38

soon you of course apply less so for me

06:41

that's made the math a little tricky to

06:43

figure out here but of course subscribe

06:46

to the channel because I'm hoping to

06:48

find an answer to this and if I do I'll

06:50

inform you in a future update video we

06:52

are yet to do this in survival mode so

06:54

let's go ahead and strike this Iron

06:56

Golem and notice how I didn't take any

06:59

full damage that's because the Mace will

07:02

actually negate full damage if you

07:04

successfully land a hit now when it

07:06

comes to durability damage it only takes

07:08

one each time you use it but it should

07:11

be pointed out that this doesn't work

07:12

with enchantments you can't put

07:14

Unbreaking sharpness or looting on here

07:16

it can however be repaired in the Anvil

07:19

with Breeze rods now I've got to say the

07:21

mace is feeling fantastic but possibly a

07:24

bit overpowered so I like that it

07:25

doesn't use enchantments but here's my

07:28

suggestion perhaps for every block that

07:30

you fall when using it to strike an

07:33

opponent each of those blocks should be

07:35

applied as one point of durability

07:36

damage so I'm left with one really cool

07:38

thing to show you the mace synergizes

07:41

really well with the wind charge if you

07:43

have one in your off hand you can jump

07:45

bounce and strike just like that and

07:48

check this out you can actually get high

07:50

enough up to like one hit kill a regular

07:52

mob like a creeper which is real nice so

07:56

yeah that was the mace what do you think

07:58

of it leave a comment down below now

08:00

let's head back to the trial Chambers

08:02

for a few more changes it says here that

08:04

we will now see trial spawners more

08:07

frequently in corridors and that there

08:09

are new Chambers and variations that add

08:12

new challenges and this wasn't quite

08:14

what I expected to see we have the

08:16

slanted structures across here and the

08:19

pedestal ones in this row and I believe

08:22

these might be components that are put

08:24

together in a way to make up the new

08:26

room types now this to me looks like one

08:29

of the new types of room it's got a

08:31

different sort of layout to what we've

08:33

seen before but it didn't really

08:35

resonate with the new structure files

08:36

that I imported so it's possible that

08:38

perhaps I'm missing something here now

08:41

here's another room that looks totally

08:43

new and this one really resonates with

08:45

those structures that we saw a moment

08:47

ago mostly because of these copper Great

08:50

Walls so I think what we saw were the

08:52

components that get piece together to

08:54

make up these new room layouts so that

08:57

was all the new 1.21 stuff now let's

08:59

move on to the changes for

09:01

1.25 the texture of cracks on wool

09:04

farmer has been updated this is what the

09:07

first level of damage looks like

09:09

basically it's a lot more noticeable now

09:12

this is the second and finally the third

09:15

level of damage you can actually

09:16

distinguish them from one another a lot

09:18

better now tamed walls would also attack

09:21

an armor stand if the player were to

09:24

attack it in previous versions of the

09:25

game which they'll no longer do and

09:27

there's also been some changes with the

09:29

wolf variants related to spawn eggs and

09:32

the summon command so for these

09:34

different types of wolf the biomes that

09:36

you can summon them in using eggs has

09:39

been expanded so naturally they'll still

09:42

spawn in the previous biomes but if

09:43

you're in one of these variants then

09:45

using a summon or an egg will spawn in

09:48

that variant type next up we're going to

09:50

look at the changes to status effect

09:53

particles so previously your status

09:55

effect colors would get merged into a

09:57

single particle color so it's a little

10:00

awkward to see but I've currently got

10:02

those light blue fart bubbles around me

10:04

and adding something like haste would

10:07

then combine the two colors together and

10:09

now we will get particle effect swirls

10:11

that are yellow for haste and Light Blue

10:13

for Speed and as I add a bunch more

10:16

status effects we get more different

10:18

particle colors the frequency at which

10:21

they appear on the player has also been

10:23

changed to just so they're a little less

10:26

obnoxious on the screen now this menu

10:28

background blur that was added a couple

10:30

of snapshots back has been updated so

10:33

the blur is more performant and looks a

10:35

little easier on the eyes because of

10:37

this resource pack version has been

10:39

updated to 29 and there's lots of tweaks

10:42

and changes that relate to this stuff

10:44

here and if you are following the

10:45

technical stuff with the item predicate

10:47

changes in recent snapshots well there

10:50

is an absolute ton of them again it's

10:52

all here on the website there's a lot to

10:54

read if this is relevant to you it'll be

10:56

linked in the description box down below

10:58

and then my friends brings to the end of

10:59

this video if you have enjoyed it please

11:01

do leave a like if you are looking for

11:03

something else to watch may I recommend

11:04

the latest episode of hermitcraft where

11:06

I've introduced something really

11:08

interesting for all of the other Hermits

11:09

to participate in you're can find that

11:11

video on my channel but that's it for me

11:13

this one thanks for watching and I'll
