Joel

  • The Citadel | Moss Farm Retrofit
    • Followed through with plans to tear out the first stab at decorating the redstone structure of the moss farm storage redstone.
      • Simplified the shapes, and added more depth.
      • It now has an organic, moss roof with foliage draped over the edges of the roof.
      • Added some copper bulbs to tie in with the orange shroom lights in the actual moss farm.

Jonny

  • Fantasy Minecraft Fabric SMP
    • Did a little more work on the Necromansion, but then deleted the entire skill tree!
      • Down to a misunderstanding of how the Malevolent Manuscript works. The flavour text says it should refund skill points, but by banking and restoring the character using a different item it messed up the system.
      • No Res For The Wicked – Fantasy Minecraft Fabric (Twitch.tv/Pixlriffs)
    • Fortunately found a Nether structure when looking for building blocks.
      • The structure contained a bunch of wither skeleton spawners, so those have been turned into a makeshift Wither Skeleton farm.
      • This allows mass gathering of XP, coal, bones, and skulls, but had to learn about how the skill tree system awards XP, and build in some redstone to help with that.

FROM: DutchieESP
SUBJECT: Traditional And Adaptation

Hi Jonny, and Joel! 

I’ve been a huge fan of the podcast for a while now, but this is my first time writing in.

There are many funny and/or annoying recipes in Minecraft. For example one whole block of wood for a button, or two whole blocks of wood for a pressure plate. Despite community chatter, those sort of traditions don’t change. However, we have seen changes to animal animation recently, which is a change from tradition.

Where do you think Mojang draws the line on needing to be adaptable for the community compared to their want to stick to long standing gameplay in Minecraft? What side do you two prefer? Personally, my nostalgia takes over, and I will always prefer tradition.

Thanks for the amazing podcast!

FROM: Trademark Toby
SUBJECT: Future Major Dot Updates

Hi Jonny, and Joel,

After listening to Episode 315 of the podcast, I am looking forward to seeing how Mojang will release new updates, especially with Minecraft Live just around the corner! 

One question I’ve been thinking about ever since listening to last week’s episode is what would warrant a major dot update? For example, version 1.22, or 1.23. Perhaps a new biome, or a new structure, or something else? 

Would love to hear your thoughts! 

Thanks for making such a great podcast!

Trademark Toby died of old age waiting for 1.22 to arrive.

Thank you to our Patrons!

Looking Ahead To A New Minecraft LIVE

With no mob vote this year – or in the foreseeable future – and game development taking the direction of smaller, more frequent “game drops” alongside larger, less frequent themed updates, Joel, and Jonny speculate on what Minecraft players might expect to see at Minecraft LIVE this year.
