  • Minecraft? There is no Minecraft, only Satisfactory!
    • It’s good to take a break from Minecraft sometimes, and the 1.0 launch of Satisfactory has definitely provided that creative break.
    • Feeling inspired to come back to Minecraft, and tackle some more technical builds on The Citadel – cough shulker farm cough cough – with lots of thoughts on how to approach a new sci-fi area on the server.

SUBJECT: Dye-ing For A Change

Hi Jonny, and Joel,

Absolutely loving the show! I wish that I’d discovered The Spawn Chunks years ago… Although do now have hundreds of back episodes to enjoy!

Last week I was listening to your discussion about the ability to dye bundles, and wondered whether dyeing could, or should be applied to other items in the game.

At the moment I’m doing a lot of mining, and frequently switching between my fortune, and silk Touch pickaxes. Although they’re named, these tags don’t show up when alternating between them on the hot bar. and I keep forgetting which is which. The ability to colour the pickaxes, perhaps through dyed handles or something similar, would make this so much easier to use the right tool at the right time. I’m sure this could also be a helpful way of marking other items that have different enchantments or purposes, such as tools, weapons, and books etc.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks again for such a great podcast!

SUBJECT: Potential Pale Garden Structures

Hey Joel, and Pix! 

During Minecraft LIVE, we got to see a new biome that is being worked on, the Pale Garden. However, there was no mention of potential structures that might be spawning in the biome. I think, due to the serenity of the biome, they could have a ruined structure that mimics some old, crumbling pagodas, or maybe they could allow for jungle temples to spawn in the Pale Garden as well? 

Would love to hear your thoughts on this! 

Best regards,

BlastJordan563 was squished by the serenity of the biome, because the atmosphere was too heavy.

Thank you to our Patrons!
