[@miner_fabs]

It was kinda like that with the old caves and cliffs announcement implementation, though the way they said that part *was* cheesy. The new system where you only have 4 things to put on one of 4 sides on a pot in the crafting table does seem more user friendly for some versions (i.e. bedrock), but it feels a lot more limiting than putting the shards ANYWHERE on the pot, and with these 4 initial ones I find it hard to think of how anyone would use them for anything where items in frames would do just as well, whereas again, putting shards anywhere seems like a more accessible form of mapart, which was probably the original intention. I hope they revamp how it works between now and when the update comes out.

Archeology feels like it had less thought put into it compared to other features. Hopefully, they can do more with it before the release. Like add suspicious sands and gravels to more structures (basically what they did with smithing templates). And add more dye and shard combos to pots (again, like smithing templates) to make them more unique / personal, as advertised. And make pots interactive for storing items, holding liquids, or just being a large flower pot. Also change the brush recipe back to copper because even tiny uses like this will help flesh the ore out.

Hey Ilmango! If you send a suspicious sand through an end portal, it is able to fall without breaking for some reason... I wonder if you can somehow use that to dupe the suspicious sand with the exit end portal. Unfortunately it also loses it's treasure once it goes through the end portal, but you can get a "rare" block if you brush it and then put it in the end because that state will be paused which is pretty cool!

For some reason here lately it amuses me when games add cherry blossoms to their world, which bloom perpetually when I believe their real world bloom season is very short.

[@Drake_Aedus]

13:40 You could for example, make a pot with 4 skull fragments (or fewer if it's against a wall) and have it be some kind of poison that with Redstone if broken would cause wither or poison to afflict all players within a certain range and depending on the items, if it can store items you could put arrows in the archery pot to give a subtle hint as to how to beat a puzzle instead of just a chest with a bow and arrow. With the prize pottery shard it could be something like a price hidden in a room of vases and only the one with the prize would contain the prize and once again with Redstone you could inflict damage on players that open the wrong pots. Many more ideas are possible, that's just what I thought for those 3. I'm blanking at the moment on the arms up shard though. Maybe I might think of something later.

[@TheWasthereonce]

I like these features, but there's nothing more behind them. It seems like a lot of the features they're adding are pretty barebones. I hope they develop them further, but it seems like they should have already done that at this point. Archaeology seemed more developed when they introduced it as a concept than what we have now. For example, I think they could add some cool mechanics with the Sniffer, like being able to find more than 1 redundant flower. Also thought of an idea where the Sniffer would eat overhanging fully-grown Vines that touch the ground. It would be able to trim up a lot of overgrown areas that way and would give the Sniffer more utility. I mean, it doesn't even drop anything. Also would love to see an archaeology shard that would work like the Storage Barrels mod, allowing us players to store a lot of one item in a single space.

[@RupertAndCheese]

Hope they do more with the torch flower; it's pretty but come on, give it some interesting function. Let bees make a different type of honey from it, make them emit light, or attract mobs, or something.

[@sheriffsad835]

For how much effort it takes to find a sniffer and for them to dig up the seeds, the torch flower should really have a more prominent use other than decoration. Like a new type of dye such as flame dye, or even a new sign effect similar to the glow ink sack.

[@quint174]

i'd like for sus sand to be expanded to dirt, clay, gravel and soulsand; maybe netherrack and tuff, which would need chisels instead of brushes. maybe even something like sus sculk, but i think neither a brush nor a chisel would fit that, maybe a scalpel, furthering the quasi-lore that sculk lives somehow. the different sus blocks would have their loot-lists, like sus soulsand could mostly drop gold (maybe rings) but also seldomly ancient scraps or something soul relatet, also nether-pottery? sus tuff could give raw ores, maybe seldomly a budding amethyst? sus sculk could drop xp, or when used with bottles in the offhand bottles of enchanting, maybe echo shards or enchanted books; maybe there is a small chance that sus sculk releases a screech spawning a warden, so it could be very risky. also (this idea is not my own) players could be able to craft sus blocks with items of their choice for their friends to find, which i totally agree with also if one would include a chisel for tuff, one may also use it for mining, like you could use the chisel to get raw ore out of stone with the stone remaining, and maybe having like fortune 2 or something. i think there is a whole lot of potential

[@uniquename6925]

It seems like there is still a lot of effort that goes into horse breeding. It's just that now it's more accessible to the general audience and more intuitive. If there are three stats, each of which have a 50% improval chance. That's still 7/8 horses that have some kind of deficiency. So the breeding is much more selective for all three, but casual players can reliably select for specific traits too. Horse breeding wasn't worth it for most players before. But it seems like now it can be done more reliably and intuitively. Seems more like they just added a huge amount of content for the more casual audience. Which I think is good. And it doesn't break the existing farms either. And the difficulty still has nuance as the number of traits selected for make the process more time consuming.

The bees reminds me again of how I want to do bee farms in the future- I was a bit worried I had just assumed that having 15 bees for 4 (all pointing into the same air/vine/fence block) would eventually sort itself outon its own so that the bees take orderly shifts, so I did the logical proof on the backs of some market receipts I had lying around, and even if all the bees initially leave the hives (in groups of 3) just 1 tick apart which is just about the worst possible initial state of the farm, it only takes about 6 minutes for them to start taking orderly shifts so that _(aside from maybe a few ticks or less when their shifts change)_ there's only 3 bees above the shared flower at a time. This only works when there's the extra 3 bees per 4-hive-module (so 15 instead of 12) though, with 12 bees you not only loose out on the hives always being in a honey producing mode, but also the bees will retain their overlapping shift schedules. The only thing left to test is what happens to that sixth honey level... surely it's wasted... this bothers me, but it might be easily fixable.

You can get overstacked non-stackables by setting the item in the suspicious sand with commands and then brushing it.

[@thomasfplm]

I think that they missed a chance on how to make more of the pink flowers. Instead of using bone meal, it could appear if there is a block of cherry leaves above a solid block with an air block between them (or increase one stage if it is already there, but not full). It could work only for naturally generated ones and ones that come from growing a sapling, not ones manually placed by players, so you could avoid creating the flowers where you don't want them.

[@BBSplat]

Here's how I always wanted horse stats to work: with a simplified genetics system. Let's say that each horse has 8 genes that affect its speed, with an "Activated" allele and an "Deactivated" allele. If a horse has all 8 of its speed genes activated, it is max speed. If it has none, it has min speed. Thus there's 256 possible speed values (though this number could be tweaked.) This can also apply to jump height, and something similar for health. I used 8 as an example, but different numbers would be fine depending on how difficult Mojang would want it to be to breed a max stat horse. Breeding takes randomly selects which parent to inherit each gene from. So parents that are already fast are more likely to pass down more speed genes. But also, two horses with the *exact* same gene will never breed a faster horse. You could also add a small random mutation factor where occasionally children have random alleles instead of one from either parent.

I'd like to see Shears be used for the flowers. Too many things can simply be dropped by punching and these are so easily farmable that I feel it wouldn't detract from it while still adding some quality of life for players who don't want them every time they punch

[@gjoe5322]

I also don't want them to patch the bubble column suspicious sand thing. The block would be nice as an extra building block (even though it's rare)

[@CamdyCorn]

Pottery should be mid-game shulkers. With the number of shards being the number of slots it can hold.

[@Roescoe]

That's actually a pretty neat idea.

[@MacGuy3135]

That idea is good in principle until you realise shulkers are exponentially easier to get than pots.

[@Roescoe]

@@MacGuy3135 Gamemodes where the end isn't accessible or is gated could use it. Particularly peaceful mode players who aren't using the special seeds.

[@Wortigon2000]

so if Iunderstand it right: Torchflowers have no use other than breeding sniffers or crafting orange dye, but for the latter, it's much simpler to use roses and sunflowers, since 2 tall flowers can be bonemealed as much as we want, and red + yellow = orange. I mean they're still a nice decoration, but that's it. Sniffers also have no use other than getting ancient seeds as far as I see, right? As for the changes to growing up animals in boats, what'd happen if we updated a world from an older version thatalready had a grown up donkey/horse/mule/camel in a boat?

[@sumsun1114]

The cherry trapdoor looks like a crafting table

[@polyacov_yury]

Oh wow. Hi :) Gonna watch the video now Edit: great update review as always. How does a sus sand store what you got the first time? Did we just get a tile entity that can be broken by a piston?

[@nighteule]

I like how the cherry bark looks

[@PromptCriticalJello]

Ancient seed farm........ It looks like the sniffer holds the Y co-ord, so a small field of grass with sticky pistons pushing them up and pulling them down periodically. Water to clear seeds periodically. The sniffer is tall enough that they couldn't escape or get washed out through a less than 2 block gap.

[@Mr.JeffreyEchala]

C'mon illmango, I am most excited for the buff of the horse breeding! I play Minecraft on my mid spec phone, and using an elytra lags a lot. So I am really excited to be able to breed better horses!🙌

[@ilmango]

You won't notice a difference

[@goddersgaming2186]

it was always easy to get a good horse. the change makes it trivially easy to get the best horse.

[@slap_k_man1862]

With all the Asian thing we got cherry blossom and bamboo woods with a shame we couldn’t get a paper door kinda like how old Asian buildings have

[@limonlx7182]

Birch doors and trapdoors I think are the closest thing to that.

[@ramczaq8272]

20:13 there is a low chance that the sniffer drops moss

[@johndeyner]

I always hate it when developers lover the skill ceiling of a game on purpose

[@Roescoe]

Especially when it's not a main progression path.

[@QuasarEE]

Is it really skill? It's more of a test of tolerance for tedium. Also, you need ESP or modding to even tell what a horse's stats are, which is a game design problem they have no intention of addressing. I don't have a strong opinion on the matter though; I like to round up wild horses and build stables for them but never tried breeding them beyond making a mule for fun so far.

[@thecrazypain9978]

When it takes more effort to get good horses, it feels more rewarding, it's a bit of an odd change, I definitely agree, then again I have no idea how much the stats are boosted by, all I know is that the stats are boosted

[@johndeyner]

@@QuasarEE You can almost completly automate this process (watch last scicraft videos). and you can also really accuratly measure speed and jump height in full vanilla watch ilmango's old videos about horses

[@runcows]

An amazing snapshot, although it feels like the cherry blossom leaves could use a tiny bit more variation. Vanilla tweaks will save us all

[@chrisprol32]

1 cobweb also works the same as the bubble column

[@Dogo.R]

The classic 2 steps forward 1 step back, self sabatage from mojang.

[@billboein]

more of a 2,3 or a 2,2 lol

[@Archer690Channel]

the sniffer is very underwhelming as it is, i was expecting more herbs and uses for them instead of just more ways to get dye

[@Roescoe]

The flower is nice, but yeah they should be able to dig up something based on biome or block

[@TheAce5399]

There's a rumor going around currently that this is not the ONLY decretive plant we will get from the sniffer, however the tediousness is a bit ridiculous.

[@ngabel8956]

The devs have always said that the plant(s) would be decorative, but that's such silly limitation to have. Hopefully the torch flower will at least emit light, and those Roger Badgerman leaks turn out to be something real.

[@tripletv9074]

it could be used as a acces for hidden bases that close almostt instantly could make insanly hidden base in a desert or beach

[@drowned_zombi2902]

The cherry blossom biome should have the pink Moolip cow from Minecraft Earth in it as it really fits with the cherry blossom biome. Please make a video on this idea and tell MOJANG so it can become a reality.

[@butterdubs2267]

FYI there are Two Sus Sand loot tables.

[@aceae4210]

so this is a small thing but here if you wanted to know the total amount of unique pot combinations is roughly 160 how you work this out is for each side there is currently 5 states it could be (5 instead of 4 because the blank side is also a state) then since we have 4 sides these can be it will be 5^4 combinations 5^4 25*5*5 125*5 625 (post edit) the reply made me think about it a bit more so we have 5 values which are the same when rotated (easer to show as base 5 as there are 5 states 1 side can be) 0000, 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444 leaving 620 values if we assume that each pattern has 4 different values but the only way to tell apart is the starting rotation then we can combine them for example 1234 2341 3412 2341 so we do (620/4) +5 155+5 roughly 160 unique patters

[@titaniadioxide6133]

There are actually fewer than that - a pot with pattern ABCD is the same as a pot with pattern BCDA or CDAB or DABC. My gut instinct for calculating this is to divide by 4 but that obviously doesn’t work given that the total number you found is odd.

[@aceae4210]

​@@titaniadioxide6133 honestly my calculation is very rudimentary the main reason it's an odd number is the fact 0000,1111, 2222, 3333, 4444 (think of those as base 5 numbers) come will have the only permutations if we take those out of the pull we get 620 results for most of these numbers it should end up like this bellow for the same but rotated 1234 2341 3412 2341 so basic maths of us dividing 620 by 4 you get 155(+5) unique patterns

[@krysmun]

I hope they don't patch the sus sand item thing too, it's really not worth removing for the sake of making the sand unobtainable, you don't get anything out of it once you place it back down. it does make for good decoration though, and you can add some subtle texture to sandy builds too.
