SUBJECT: Mounts Causing Mayhem

Hey Pix, and  Joel 

I thought of a great idea for the upcoming game drop Mounts of Mayhem which could solve a problem I hope I’m not alone in facing. I often find myself using horses for exploring in the early game but as someone who isn’t overly skilled at the game, if I die I struggle to find my mount again.

My idea is that if a mount has been name tagged it should appear on the locator bar which would give it a use in single player. I  would love to hear your ideas on this.

SUBJECT: Getting Creative And Building Bigger

Dear Pix, and Joel

Minecraft updates always pull me back into the game, but my old, single player world is feeling a little sparse. I’m alright at building farms, but I have something of a longstanding creative block. I get a bit overwhelmed when trying to build anything decorative larger than a chunk or so.

What advice do you have for getting creative again, and for going beyond my regular scale?

SUBJECT: The Jousting Ex-spear-ience

Hey Pix, and Joel!

As a combat loving player I am very excited about the spear, especially the jousting mechanic. However I won’t really get much experience with jousting because I mostly play in single player.

I really love the idea of having a zombie with a spear riding a zombie horse but what if there were more mobs like this? What if Mojang added a new type of illager that wielded a spear, and spawned riding ravagers during raids? This would add a little extra challenge to raids, and allow players to essentially joust even if they have no one to joust with! 

Do you have any ideas for how other mobs could potentially use spears? Chicken Jockey jousting perhaps? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 

Thanks!

SUBJECT: New Blocks Old Builds

Dear Jonny, and Joel,

I was thinking about the new blocks, and items in The Copper Age drop, and I wanted to ask you how do you go about revamping your old builds with the new blocks that come out each update? Or do you even go back at all? If not, why?
