- Joel hasn’t been able to play Minecraft because of a stutter issue on his Windows 10 gaming PC, causing system wide issues, even for Minecraft Dungeons. And unfortunately, the current – but separate – frame stuttering issue in Minecraft: Java Edition for Mac, has kept him out of the game entirely this past week.
- If you have any insight on solutions for the stuttering issues on the PC or if you know of a fix for stuttering issues on the Mac, please email the show! Email link at the bottom of the show notes.
- Jonny has completed the structural part of his mountain range!

RE: Minecraft Violence
Hi Pix and Joel,
I have recently started listening to your podcast, and have been watching Hermitcraft Seasons 6 and 7. I really love Minecraft, but my parents are hesitant of me getting it due the addictive nature and violence that they associate with video games in general.
I was hoping that I could get your thoughts on this subject.
Thanks,
Tristan, Vancouver Island, Canada
PS: What other blocks and features would you like added in the new nether update?

What is the enchantment system like? Can you fart fire? These important questions and more are all uncovered.
