    • The Citadel has been updated to 1.21.4.
    • Almost everything went according to plan.
      • There are a few data packs, and mods that aren’t up to date.
        • The wood recipes in the stone cutter data pack isn’t working.
          • It will be a real pain in the butt to rebuild them again if that’s what’s needed.
      • The Tables & Chairs data pack is completely broken. All previously placed tables, and chairs display as jungle trap doors that I can not interact with, or removed.

    • Just completed digging out a complete chunk using pale moss.
    • Still thinking about how to use pale moss, and other pale garden blocks it in the Windy City.
      • However those who’ve been decorating their Java Minecraft worlds for the holidays, the white leaves of pale oak trees have arrived just in time for some snowy scenes.

Hi Pix, and Joel

I was recently playing around with the light block. What if Minecraft had an ambience block which acted the same as the light block. When you left click an ambience block it could change ambient sounds. (e.g Crickets chirping.) The ambience block would probably be for Creative mode only as I can’t think of a way to add it to survival.

Ethan fell into a ravine while listening to crickets.

SUBJECT: Creaking Lore

Hey Joel and Jonny! 

I think that the creaking as a mob is a super cool idea, and the lore of it being a puppet to the creaking heart is also awesome. Could there be a greater lore aspect for the creaking? How did the Pale garden biome, obviously not a real-life biome, come to be? 

I think that the creaking heart was made by the ancient people of Minecraft using advanced magic, or maybe it was made by the illagers. When the people made it, it began to suck the life out of the trees nearby to give life to the creaking. I think that is a good explanation for the paleness of the biome, and why it might look similar to the dark oak forrest. 

That’s all!

CrayZKing was killed by a creaking because he looked away to listen to this podcast.

SUBJECT: Resin Brick Colours

It seems like only a small number of folks are particularly excited about the new resin brick set. Do you think resin bricks would be more exciting if they could be dyed in all colors?

Hello Joel and Pixlriffs,

I couldn’t play as much Minecraft lately as I wanted to. So, I shifted my focus to my Minecraft merch: doing a Minecraft jigsaw puzzle, rebuilding some Minecraft Lego or browsing through “The World of Minecraft” book. (I highly recommend the book for every Minecraft lover.)

I was wondering what kind of Minecraft merchandise you own or would want to have? Mojang collaborated with a lot of brands this year to celebrate their 15th anniversary, and brought a lot of products to the market. Did you get something special?

Keep up your great work with this podcast!
