[@PROGAMER-bj3jb]

Check the realism craft pale garden update it's a perfect update ❤

[@swip]

Also, using goat horns to temporary remove the fog would be a cool feature too. Especially to give the goat horn an actual function.

[@omarshawki8528]

That would be awesome

[@byronray3677]

I have seen another youtuber suggest that when you look at a creaking they close their eyes. Their texture is already very similar to the tree of their choice, so with that added detail, it recreates the troupe of “you look behind you, but is anything their?”

[@cakeiscakey]

Idea suggestion: I think it would be cool if the tree shape looked more like the sapling we have. I'm pretty sure they said the trees in the Pale Garden were inspired by willows, but they don't really look like them, in my opinion.

[@Engardus]

The pale garden trees were inspired by dark oak trees

[@DrownedWick8]

@@Engardus They said willows in I think MCLive

[@algohe74]

The pale garden biome is suposed to be a sub-biome variant of the dark forest

[@eloyullate8124]

For me seems they got inspired by the chaparrales of the mediterranean

[@eloyullate8124]

Although with a paler look

[@Neural_Fiction]

6:24 previously on one of the posts, I suggested that there should be hallucinations where eyes appear when within the Pale garden. I was sort of right, but I said that these hallucinations become more frequent the longer the player stays within the Pale garden. I am so happy that this is an actual mod to play with. This is going to be amazing with a bunch of texture packs, a few other mods, and shaders.

[@enn1924]

1:39 that argument is flawed, nobody is forced to build on the pale garden, if somebody doesn't like the fog they can move somewhere else, those who want to build on the garden regardless can use the fog to their advantage on creative ways The second solution is cool tho, perhaps you could even use it to get the fog effect anywhere you want using a different block

[@carnage9536]

And if it really comes to it they can just place pale moss or whatever and plant the trees to recreate the biome without the fog

[@oguiirodrigues]

I really think the Creaking attack should ignore armor defense

[@MichaelConsidine27]

YES

[@valzicplayz3845]

My issue with this biome is the trees. The trees are just dark oak trees even though the saplings look more interesting. There's a mod that fixes this called Better Trees that is really good. Also, I agree a structure should be in the Pale Garden, hinting the name "garden" there should be a garden place with maybe a house or a tree that randomly generates at the middle.

[@orbic521]

The fog thing is.. interesting, but I think i'd rather the blocks *give* fog rather than take it away. So some generate naturally within pale gardens, and can be moved to other locations if you wanna add fog there, or just destroyed if you don't want it. I see adding fog to areas a more interesting sandbox tool than than a tool that takes it away from a specific part of your world.

[@Nightlight_Latte]

I really like your take on how you give feedback; mentioning that you still (for the most part) like the Pale Garden, or at the very least appreciate the work put into it. I can understand if people are a disappointed with the biome, and it's okay to voice that. However, treating the devs like human beings is something everyone should keep in mind. It could just be me, but the best kind of feedback is constructive while still being at least somewhat respectful. (Also, at the End of the day, this is a game still getting free updates??) Mini-rant aside, I do agree with all of your points! Hoping that maybe if given more time the biome could look more... Polished. Or maybe they can revisit it in the future. For specific features though, *man* do I wish there was fog! It could add so much atmosphere, and additionally help the biome appear larger if they keep the smaller generation size. A structure of some sort would make the place more memorable, especially if it potentially offered something like the sawmill you mentioned! Like, imagine the function of that, along with the addition of chiseled logs maybe? Incoming: My needlessly long obsession with this biome I'll admit that I'm biased towards this new biome (if that wasn't obvious already). When it was first announced it became a hyperfixation of sorts lol. I doodled some ideas I had and ended up with things like: A look-alike variant to the Pale Oak called either the Pale Maple, or Watching Maple: - Looks pretty much the same as Pale Oak, aside from a block or two that generates on the trunk. Within the bark texture, a sort of "eye" pattern would be there. - The wood set would also have that faint eye design in the grain of the wood. Maybe a few speckles of sap. - These could also be tapped for sap (yes, I had this idea before the resin was revealed lol). It'd take a little while to harvest, not instant. Which, could be used for a special potion, or turned into syrup. The syrup could be used on something like pancakes or french toast! (the dish has a special effect for all that work though ofc) There was two mobs I also drew and typed up info for, but to describe them shortly: "Pale Stag" or "Muted Stag" - Looks somewhat like an actual stag or deer, but has longer legs, slightly longer neck, and looks somewhat similar to the creaking. How so? The same bark-like texture, along with looking a little gnarled and crooked itself. - Orange/amber eyes like the Creaking. - Silent for the most part - Stops and looks at the player when player looks at them. - Only moves during the day. - Possibly tamable? Sort of like a horse, but a little less health, slightly faster, and better jumping abilities. There's more stuff I have written down like two other mobs, terrain generation, and flora, but I'll leave it at this unless someone wants to hear it lol To anyone that read this far, thanks for helping it feel worth typing a comment this long

[@alphabros5226]

I appreciate how your ideas and overall want of the pale garden to be improved come from a place of wanting minecraft to be better. Sometimes I feel people are just haters just cause.

[@gapgod78-i1j]

What if the eye blossom could be brewed into a potion. if you brewed the open form it would give a new effect "fogless" (gets rid of fog) and and if you brewed the closed form it could give blindness adding a blindness potion to the game.

[@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV]

I have literally the same idea... I mean except the effect name. And the scope of the effect(I thought bigger, like seeing under lava with water-like clearness). But I didn't thought about blind potion. But I likt this idea.

[@gapgod78-i1j]

@@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV Ye "Foggless" is just a name i came up with if they added this to minecraft i wouldnt expect it to be fogless

[@thenewsatinbobcat5575]

They could add either a rundown pillager out post or a ruined mansion, as pillagers/illagers avoid the creaking.

[@CoolMayonnaise]

I’m gonna add these mods asap!

[@Ultrabob-n5i]

Bro 💀💀💀

[@CoolMayonnaise]

@@Ultrabob-n5iwhat? Instant feedback and cliff under a tree are good mods?

[@chinkram]

​@@CoolMayonnaise Clifftree is so goated, I cannot go back to Vanilla world gen after playing with it.

[@WilliamCollins-jv1pl]

I like the idea of an creaking armour trim It could have the characteristic eye pattern of the creaking and maybe scare away pillagers or stop the bad omen effect from working

[@Empyrean55]

7:48 this is exactly the reason they didn't add a monument, they want the player to make something exactly like that, the point of the sandbox that is minecraft is to allow for creativity to be shown by the player. The world is simple our basic canvas, its the player that makes it come to life ;)

[@Empyrean55]

Having said I do think they should add fog 100%, will definitely force you to use the compass/ maps to find your way through the world

[@MarieNyonyo-cg9wu]

I feel bad for you because I can tell not all your shaders resource packs and mods have updated

[@Rain-ju2ge]

Idea: I think it's cool to add some kind of abandon camp inside. To indicate that other people try to explore the forest and got lost and eventually run out of food/kill by creaking

[@SpringblueWolf]

a way to clear fog could also be torches and other light sources each one clearing a different radius of the fog or maybe cutting down some of the trees would lessen the fog like the pale garden was holding the fog in

[@Brick_craft-kc7wr]

Thanks I really did like the fog and different type of structures idea it's Hollywood of add to the little more depth to the pale garden

[@TheJohnnee]

7:01 Didn't expect this banger from a fairly unpopular game I played as a kid to be in the vid

[@eXeLouuu]

So Good Joe! Waiting For New Contents!!

[@justinaperocho2296]

Idea suggestion: It would be pretty cool albeit a small feature to get jnto immersion within inside a pale garden is for compasses to not work or coordinates being gibberish

[@skulkingshadow]

I also want the creaking to be able to jump or climb blocks, bcs if you just dig it in a hole or fence it, or tower 3 blocks you will be safe. Would also be cool and scary if it could crawl in small spaces like the initial mojang "stalker" idea

[@TWLMGamming]

I really like everything that you said, I agree with everything you said, and I really want all of this!

[@mrr4gsterz450]

Nice video, I like your approach with those mods. But I dont feel like I need to upgrade my world, but I really like the giangt tree you said, I think I would try to build one. Keep making great videos and shorts!

[@azathothog]

They should have also expanded on the sculk in this update maybe sculk is found under pale gardens

[@OwenMcGill-pq9mc]

bro i love this channel so mych please release more of the hardcore vids

[@gaminggeckos4388]

1:00 I STRONGLY disagree. The problem being that wolf armor is a fairly useful addition. Bundles are a TREMENDOUSLY useful addition. But the Pale Garden? It’s not really all that useful at all. It’s almost ENTIRELY decoration. And also a redstone block… that only works at night. It would be SO much better if we could use resin to craft something USEFUL, like a block that emits redstone signal when you look at it.

[@misterk7_-]

Mojang didn’t give us enough time to react to the drop and respond to feedback. It was announced on September 28th. That gave them 6 weeks to add everything they wanted before external verification 3 weeks before release. They should have announced the next drop before winter holidays this month for us to react and for them to respond to feedback. Either that or the drop formula isn’t working as well as they wanted it to.

[@algohe74]

Mojang could do all of this with it's new updating style, but maybe they left the biome like it is right now so they could do those improvements later on. (BTW, mojang technicly did add fog to the biome, but it's the color of the suroundings when the player has low FPS)

[@YRON-GLORY]

Where is the cliff under a tree show case?? Iam interested to see you making a video on it

[@MrGomulsky]

I think that Creaking should have a much stronger attack, ignore armour and that Creaking Hearth should be a block that can only be destroyed with better tools, e.g. only with a diamond axe, so that getting rid of a mob is not so easy and by the mentioned higher dmg, wandering into the forest would be much riskier.

[@Knowledgeable_and_factable5178]

Ever-grown pale garden with trees that have 1-2 creaking heart per trees.

[@TOMAALBERT]

yeah maybe they could have copper horns in the structures so theres a point in going there

[@jumapackla]

ngl this could have honestly be a full on update not a drop

[@ian2057]

Personally, I just cant wait to see how this biome is improved when the dynamic trees mod updates

[@MrWoofWoof03Streams]

i would throw the pale garden under ground as a new cave biom

[@gaminggeckos4388]

These changes are all well and good, but… All of them are decorative. The pale garden would STILL have no non-decorative reason to visit it (aside from using the heart in redstone, but that only works at night). I REALLY feel like we need to be able to use resin to craft a useful item. It doesn’t have to be SUPER useful; I’d be satisfied with just a slightly useful item, such as the recovery compass, swift sneak, the spyglass, the lodestone, wolf armor, etc. Just to have a small reason for non-builders to visit the biome.

[@ZeenathZahrah]

Bro the creeking is actually kinder freaky

[@Fidg3tt]

Creakings could sometimes drop "pale roots" when their heart is broken, which could then be crafted (using 3) into "pale fibres" which could act as a stronger string varient. This could then maybe be used for a grappling hook rope, or to make better bundles, etc

[@DoDozDorian]

Neat suggestions 👌

[@BlackBot2000]

Could you some texture packs for bedrock?

[@silversoul9309]

6:46 what are the floating eye from?

Instant Feedback

[@mr.thermal917]

Did you download this from CurseForge? For the instant feedback mod that is.

[@demonjoeTV]

I usually get all my mods from Modrinth

[@rubenlohata5263]

Imo The creaking is a complex mob because you can only kill him by breaking the block and the creaking can move far away from the core

[@davidbrown8694]

Mojang's to do list: Add all the cut content (birch biome update, ect) Add all the cut mobs ADD GREEN WOOD OMG

[@Trident_Gaming03]

Nothing you tell me can convince me that ALL these possible additions would take more than a week to implement Even considering Mojang is a massive studio, they had months for this drop, they definitely had time to implement fog, more flora, etc.

[@shadowsword-ju2fr]

i didnt rush to download the pale garden update because i know the amout of gray things will burn into my eyes

[@NudamSahansa]

Ohhh it’s freakin creaking

[@truecaliber1995]

And, yet, another example of Mojang's overprioritization of intrinsic motivation over extrinsic motivation. As demonjoetv demonstrated, both are possible to execute with the Pale Garden, making it more than just a pretty biome. However, as it stands, I'll probably never visit the Pale Garden again after I find and extract its resources.

[@angel33baybeee70]

[@Some_ldl0t]

Personally i dont like the creaking, ive been advocating for a Myth Update for so long and THIS update could have been the one for it, for example: I play on bedrock and i found a texture pack that turns the creaking into Herobrine.

[@annab7854]

#JungleAwakens

[@pogsterplays]

My thought is that the ambience, be it fog, less mob spawning, desaturation of grass&leaves should be linked to the trees, and so removing the trees would effectively remove the biome. This also means you could grow trees in specific places for the same effects. Imo the creaking should deal damage (easy: 3 hearts, normal: 4.5 hearts, hard: 6 hearts) regardless of armour and enchantments (resistance effect would still work tho)

[@zuka8946]

how do I switch the modpack to 1.21.4 because there is no update for the latest version, all it has is 1.21.1

[@AntjuanXAdriana1728]

@minecraft PLSS LISTEN TO HIM 😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@neoturtle1753]

I think the pale garden should be more like the deep dark where there is one singular creaking that has the ability to teleport and follow the player at a distance, occasionally attacking and retreating once more. The creaking heart could be hidden in a structure placed in the middle of the biome, making it a long trek to reach it (possibly underneath a large tree in a cavern with pale roots?). Also I so wish the creaking could close its eyes to camouflage itself, that would be so cool.
