  • The Citadel | Mushroom Island
    • Finished up the creeper farm, but between the vast lush cave network, and the size of the mushroom island, the farm isn’t loaded often enough to produce much gunpowder. It will likely need to be relocated.
    • Built a temporary bamboo powered smelter array of sixteen furnaces. Not the most efficient, but it will do for now. The long term goal is to have a sixty-four furnace array powerd by auto-crafted blocks of bamboo.
    • The rest of the week was spent exploring under the surface of the mushroom island.

SUBJECT: Sound Volume

Hey Jonny, and Joel!

I wanted to chime in on sound volume, and say there is definitely a mod for that. Most modded kitchen sink packs include Extreme Sound Muffler which lets you individually specify the exact sound that you want to mute or reduce the volume on. 

As Jonny mentioned VanillaTweaks also has some options. That said, I would love your opinion on potentially seeing tweaks to sound frequency variation to reduce the fatigue of hearing the same sound at the same frequency over, and over again. Potentially even data pack options that Mojang could add. 

Donoraffe was blown up by a creeper because he accidentally muted the minecraft:creeper_fuse sound with Extreme Sound Muffler.

Thanks to our top patrons!

The Mayhem is Mounting

Jonny shares his first impressions of the nautilus, and the spear after spending some time in the first snapshot look at Mounts Of Mayhem in survival. The zombie horse was illusive, but potential issues with the lunge enchantment for the spear were not.
