317 - Minecraft Live 2024 Recap // The Spawn Chunks: A Minecraft Podcast

[@stevethetenorbass9834]

Might we be looking at a Spawnchunks X Imp&Skiz crossover anytime soon😭

[@cfborelli]

this would be sooooo cool

[@thatoneislandguy9118]

Skizz revealed that this Friday they are doing a collab podcast. So guess wish granted haha

[@GrifterMage]

I think the most important thing they need to do to make the pale garden biome feel different is to modify the tree structure. As-is, the biome feels way too much like a less-interesting dark oak forest. A 1x1 pale oak tree variant is a good start, but changing the structure of the 2x2 trees would also help. As you mentioned, some additional flora specific to that biome could also help. The pale moss is a good start, but there needs to be some sort of vertical element to break up the ground in between trees.

they did explain very very clearly the bundles purpose when they first announced it. Going back and watch the caves and cliffs announcement, "a part of the issue with inventory management is the random one or two random materials taking up a whole slot, a bundle solves this" This misconception like most things ,like the birch forest update, comes from the community.

[@riuphane]

Agreed, but to Joel's point, if they have more details and the use case of how the game has changed, not to mention their research, it might have been accepted better. I think having it in experimental quite a while ago and letting the community run with it over the last year or more didn't really help with managing the expectations. Lessons learned, I guess.

Is would love if they add some more vegetation to lean in to the name "pale garden". Some cool creepy flowers, perhaps even a two tall flower which glows like the creaking ,glowing mushrooms, perhaps even a new white pumpkin which you can carve a new face into (skeleton or creaking face?)

[@BellePullman]

"Dye" on tools would be cool, but I'd rather they got trim like the armour trim - a "gem" in the centre of redstone, diamond, emerald, etc. My current fix for the "which tool is which?" problem is to put Netherite on Silk Touch - the theory is that fortune tools are more likely to pick up some xp so the lower diamond durability is less of an issue. But as long as I'm consistent, netherite means silky. I would love to see a dye update, and lime dye made from green and YELLOW! green and white makes a MINTY GREEN NOT LIME!!!! *ahem* Not asking for a mint green dye, I don't think more than 16 dyes would help, but... come on... lime is yellowy green.... Although having said that, the Pale Garden is more minty greeny colours.... hmm...

[@williamjones5334]

45:27 That one has now been fixed, fortunately. Although apparently it wasn't actually a problem with health itself but how it was displayed?

[@PlumbCarton5607]

Yeah it was more or less offset down by 1. During that time apparently half a heart looked like no hearts

[@AmanChooses]

I wonder how the creaking will interact with other mobs that aren't the player. Can it aggro the warden? If the creaking is impervious to damage how would the warden interact with it? Will snow golems or pet wolves attack the creaking? Does the creaking attack only the player or can it attack villagers and other mobs?

[@CackleTheory]

The reason being that we saw leaks of it before the live stream began (i think we saw the leaks a few days before)

[@Ari-fl8jx]

I love how he's not even the only one who is in satisfactory with this show.

[@Ewincott]

So glad this is still going i havent watched in about 4 years so im about to catch up on a lot.

[@williamjones5334]

To your point about sizes of pale oak tree, maybe that could allow for farming of creaking hearts without turning tree farms into mob farms - 2-by-2 trees can grow with hearts while single-sapling trees don't

[@emilybarner3440]

First time ever hearing Pix's IRL name after years of watching his vids. Enjoying listening!

[@ravensshadow2179]

For different pickaxe I use diamond as my Silk touch and Netherite for my Fortune pickaxe.

[@robbie_rohm88]

From the image released of the Pale Garden forest, it looks large. Large enough to hold a structure at the middle of it. And that structure should reward you with a random rare loot, like the trial chambers which resets every few in game days. If there’s was a reason to travel to and then deeper into the forest, with these new mobs spawning all around you, well that would be a challenge and an entertaining one every time. Actually, if the entrance to the trail chambers was through the pale forest, that would have been creative game design. Oh well.

[@kokorodaki4017]

We don't know though how much bigger or smaller the biome can be when it's generated. Naturally, with size and shape being part of the randomness, some iterations of this biome that we discover may be larger or smaller, but we don't know how much. Maybe some will be too small to fit a decently sized structure without it feeling awkward or generating partly in another biome. The biome shape could also make that awkward.

[@CackleTheory]

The post show was pre recorded. None of minecraft live was indeed "live"

[@williamjones5334]

Yeah, I think they weren't paying as much attention to the post show as they were discussing some of the announcements rather than looking at it properly. Still, could warrant a name change if they keep this format (which seems likely).

[@Daydallas101]

Ohhhhhhh orange shelf mushrooms on the trees would be wonderful! Also since I am a mushroom gal 2 tall Mushroom pls. Also little :| about the fact that we now have Dark Oak, Oak and Pale Oak now. Will we will have pale and dark of others or is oak the only loved wood in this case?

[@Yarlor840]

This episode itself is longer than minecraft live this year was

[@vanreez157]

Ive been listening to you guys for a long time, but hearing about a different game in a Minecraft podcast is getting old, less satisfactory and more Minecraft!

[@the_ant_guy]

Just say the A Minecraft Movie looks ugly
