- Started, and finished the fishing homestead in the north tip of the Westhill valley.
- Went with spruce, and jungle woods, as an initial block palette, then went back, and changed the roof to copper to add a cooler contrast to the build.

SUBJECT: From CraftMine To Inventory
Hey Jonny and Joel,
I was thinking about how the Minecraft April Fools Updates have sometimes laid the groundwork for future game features. With Craft-Mine tinkering around with unlocking inventory, and the recent changes to the GUI backend I think we might see some more upgrades or improvements to inventory management in the near future.
What do you think? Are we getting some unlockable inventory in Vanilla Minecraft?

SUBJECT: Will Minecraft Earth Return?
Hi Pix and Joel,
What are your thoughts on Minecraft Earth getting relaunched in the future? Should it return, and if it does, how do you think it should improve on the original ideas the game was experimenting with? I’d love to see more variants of existing mobs, like the muddy pig and the moobloom.
Personally, although I understand why the game had to be shut down, I was a little disappointed about it. I’d only recently started playing it at the time, and never really got to mess with it that much beyond collecting handfuls of blocks while I was out and about.
Thanks for the fun show!

Jonny, and Joel reflect on Tricky Trials, the subsequent drops, and their impact on the game, but also on Mojang’s new approach to development, content release schedule, and communication with Minecraft players over the past year.
