SUBJECT: Inventory Ideas

Hi Jonny and Joel! 

I was listening to Episode 353, and I was thinking about ideas for inventory changes to Minecraft. I’ve recently been obsessed with Stardew Valley, and I think there are actually a few good ideas there. I definitely think Mojang should add an organizer button, (I cannot live without it in Stardew) and I have a few ideas for making the inventory bigger over time. The first idea was having an upgrade sold by a Wandering Trader, and have it be rare. Or maybe an inventory slot upgrade after you defeat a boss like The Wither, The Warden, or the Ender Dragon, etc. 

I can’t wait to hear what you think! 

JJ didn’t die, she just got stuck in Stardew Valley.

SUBJECT: Shulker Box Organization

Hey Jonny and Joel,

I was recently dying some leather armour, and I was wondering why we can’t dye shulker boxes in a similar way with all of the different colour combinations. I know that some colour combinations are quite similar but they could be distinct enough that when placed side by side you could tell the difference. I feel like this will be a great quality of life update for people who use large shulker box stashes for projects. I for one would love to finally be able to tell the difference between my grass, and moss shulkers!

I’m excited to hear your thoughts on the idea, and any additional shulker box updates you would like to see!

SUBJECT: Content Without The Latest Content

Hi Pix, and Joel!

In Episode 353, Tricky Trials One Year On, Joel discussed how he has yet to tackle a Trial Chamber, which I relate to heavily. I have a five-year world that is still on 1.20.4 because I have several long-term projects, and don’t care to bother with updating mods, and the like. I certainly would love to have all the new game features, but I find myself content with the grind of my projects. 

Now that updates have become smaller, more frequent game drops, do you think it’s harder for players to stay grounded in long-term projects? Do you think that skipping updates for a while might actually support a healthier creative headspace?

Thank you for the best podcast to listen to while grinding away!
