SUBJECT: Better Than Dying Armor

Hello Pix, and Joel,

Since Mojang hasn’t yet addressed the popular request of being able to dye wolf armor, I thought maybe they were thinking of another way to customize them. I’m probably very optimistic here, but what if, instead of dyeing, you could craft the wolf armor with various items that would not only change its appearance but also add functionality? 

For example, adding a prismarine shard to the crafting recipe would make your wolf a better swimmer, blaze powder would be for better fire resistance, nether scrap for blast resistance, a feather for fall damage protection, etc.

To get a bit crazier (Hello, modding community,) add a goat horn to the wolf armor recipe for an evil look, and better teleportation range, or a firework rocket for following you when you fly!

Anyway, what are you thoughts? Do you think Mojang is cooking something up beyond dying wolf armor?

Thank you for your great podcast 🙂

SUBJECT: Invisible Item Frames

Hello Joel, and Pix!

I’ve recently noticed the frequency of invisible item frames in creative mods,  maps, and builds, and I was thinking about some possible ways they could be implemented into vanilla survival.

Invisible item frames are great for small details scattered around a build, and can even be used for more complex things that add onto other blocks. One possibile implementation could be splashing an item frame with an invisibility potion for a permanent effect. This could have a radius so that multiple frames can be made invisible at once. When broken, they could either drop an invisible item frame item or just revert back to their normal selves. This could end up being expensive though, since potions can take a while to mass-produce, and they aren’t stackable.

Another possible implementation could be crafting an invisible item frame in a crafting table with invisibility potions. This could work with any amount of frames but for example, 64 frames, and 1 potion could make 64 invisible frames. If the crafting recipe was 1 item frame, to one invisibility potion, the possible drawback would be the expense to craft.

That’s it for now! Have you guys ever used invisible item frames in a build, and do you have any more suggestions as to how they could be obtained in survival?

ItzEkans simply didn’t die. What a happy ending!
