- Started framing out Level 4 of the command center, and working on the logistics on how to access it from inside, and how that access will coexist with the bulkheads needed to visually support the massive ceiling of the central core chamber.

SUBJECT: A Deep Biome Update
Hey Jonny, and Joel!
Your conversation about bugs in Minecraft did bring up an idea I had a while ago because of how bugs/arthropods also exist in the sea, and there’s plenty of opportunity there for another update to Minecraft oceans.
Ever since the Caves & Cliffs Part 2 deepened the world, the oceans have felt a bit shallow to me most of the time. Oceans rarely ever go even as deep as Y level 0, but there’s still another 60 blocks deep they could venture. What do you think about an “ocean trench” biome that could implement underwater arthropods as well as other new threats or structures? Maybe something made out of dark prismarine, and polished deepslate? There could even be a “boss mob” entity to fight. Also, the breath of the nautilus does give players more incentive to venture down into ocean depths unreachable with a normal breath.
I could go on for a long time with other ideas, but as a basic concept, what would you think about a trench update to the oceans?
ThePianoMan89 didn’t drown thanks to the breath of the nautilus, but he did fear for his life after waking Cthulhu in the ocean trench.

Hey Pix, and Joel!
In your most recent podcast you discussed adding more bugs to Minecraft. I recently played with a realistic texture pack that included butterflies, and it really brought a whole new level of realism into the game. Personally I think butterflies should be added to Minecraft. I also think birds would be a really cool addition. Maybe early in the morning as the sun rises birds could chirp. I think the added ambience of morning birdsong would help make Minecraft more immersive. Honestly, it’s crazy to me that they have not added it yet.
Also, if they added more bug life, maybe being able to equip a saddle to a huge beetle would be really cool.
What do you guys think? Would love to hear your thoughts!

From Bugs To Birds
Taking flight from the insect discussion last episode – and a feather in their cap from DarthTaterTot’s email – Joel, and Jonny discuss what it might look like if Mojang were to expand on the avian part of the animal kingdom which is at the moment under represented in Minecraft.
