[@Banana_Fusion]

HOLY HELL

[@TheCableGuy8]

"Ender Pearls now ensure that the chunk they are in or travel into is always loaded and ticking" -this updates article That means stasis chambers are chunk and tick loaders. This is awesome for most people playing but is also easily weaponized. For instance anarchy servers where people regularly attack the servers performance with lag machines can now do it by making epearl loaders and loading way more chunks then what should be allowed. This is easily fixed with a gamerule, as you said, that uses the change by default but allowed to turn off in those rare cases where players try to weaponize this. Still could be a big problem if not addressed.

[@zeppie_]

@@TheCableGuy8 I'm sure they realize this, so if it gets implemented it will likely also become a gamerule

[@SemiHypercube]

Technical players are going to have a field day with ender pearls loading chunks, though I do wonder if this could be potentially a problem for creating lag, perhaps this should be a game rule (defaulting to "true" but being able to be disabled could be useful)

[@ArielZepezauer]

I figure any technical players who will run into issues with that will just use a Carpet Rule

[@firestorm5371]

I would fix this by limiting the amount of enderpearls that a player can spawn or make a gamerule with allows to configure a timer after which they despawn.

[@lavaa7392]

Ender pearl cannons are gonna be sick now but they might crash servers idk

[@ryancarrell3186]

Honestly, I don't imagine it being an issue for normal players. technical players using it for chunk loaders are such a tiny fraction of players, and those players skilled enough for it already know how to handle lag.

[@TheDroidsb]

The pearls also unload when you log off

[@GwnTim1]

The boats used to break from certain distances because 4 is stored as 3.9999etc if its a float, and due to a rounding error in the fall-damage function this would sometimes destroy the boat, Stand-up Maths made a really cool video abt it

[@gavin2391]

From Matt Parker, famous Christmas light designer

[@khajiithaswares4147]

Ironic that boats were sinking due to float values...

[@jehmarxx]

I've fallen at the magical height once and I began to question my life until watching that video.

[@trbz_8745]

This isn't true. Floats store 4 as 1 × 2² with no rounding error. Any multiple of a power of 2 can be stored exactly. The boat bug is not caused by 4, but rather 0.04 (1/25). This is not a multiple of a power of 2, so we can't store it. Instead, we store 10737418 × 2^(-28), which is very close to 0.04.

[@lomiification]

A float doesn't store 1/3+2/3+2 as 4.0 necessarily though, or all kinds of other bits of math that floats don't store well

[@Paint_The_Future]

Stand-up Maths did a video on the bug where falling from specific distances causes fall damage. It's a banger.

[@torbenmayer]

Just wanted to point this out. Also: armored elytras had been a thing for some time in VT didn’t they? Maybe it was implemented differently?

[@negspirito]

tl:dw Minecraft's acceleration due to gravity doesn't quite translate to binary. So when you fall from those heights, the tick before you land you're close enough to the ground to trigger the "grounded" flag which in turn makes the game skip the check for whether the damage is from falling. Thus you don't get the fall damage immunity

[@negspirito]

@@Ion_Cannon42 According to the leaderboard, Feinberg did All Advancements on 1.21 as recently as two months ago. Which is an even bigger problem, because that route abuses damage immunity when multiple pearl hangs resolve simultaneously to force an endermite without taking an unreasonable amount of damage. Of course, that route also builds a beacon and does lots of other stuff that maybe(?) makes it feasible to tank the damage outright, but I imagine you'd have to pause every now and then to heal since getting feather falling and/or protection is not otherwise required for that route. So this is straight RNG time loss on AA.

[@pepsiatlas5452]

Can you imagine the pearl cannons people will make? Forget teleporter networks, now you can just use tnt to shoot the pearl 100,000 blocks away in a half second. No transmission lines needed

[@fantasywaffle]

I absolutely love the fact that Mojang is making changes like this to resource packs. The first instance of this being shown was in 1.20.2 when they made most of the gui textures separate. Before 1.20.2, if you wanted to make a resource pack that makes fire green, you would have to change the entire furnace texture for just the flame in it to be green, causing it to not work with other resource packs that also change the furnace texture, but with small changes to things like this make it so much better for someone who wants to use multiple packs at once.

[@ruralkracken3000]

[@derechtepilz]

[@PeChips]

@@derechtepilz true

[@jc_art_]

Main problem is that they unload when the player who threw it leaves (1:58), meaning if you want the farms to stay on all the time even when you leave, they need to be thrown by an alt account that never goes offline. If you need multiple chunks in an area loaded for a redstone farm/machine to work, that means multiple ender pearls, and multiple enderpearls means if one of them gets unloaded even for just a moment while the others are loaded (or vice versa), then the contraption is likely to completely stop working since some of it wasnt ticking while some was. You could design failsafes for this sort of thing, but given how a constantly running farm would require the person who threw them be logged in anyway, you might aswell just keep using the player bots/alt accounts that people where already using to afk load farms

[@HeartGamer26]

The Netherite chest plate and Eyltra look really clean together. Very nice datapack

[@cheerstothat8089]

I feel like what we need for the elytra and chest plate thing is accessory slots, like from Terraria. In Terraria you can equip several accessories that grant flight, speed, damage, or fancier things like double jumps, autoswing, and a dash, but in Minecraft, these can be things like the elytra, crab claw, totem of undying, and hopefully more in the future. Minecraft might only get one slot for this, but I like the idea.

[@michaelgage652]

When they announced the crab claw I saw the potential for exactly what you mentioned. I thought it’d be cool to have relics that were specific to certain biomes, mobs, or landmarks in the game that gave you special perks. Like a magnet to suck up items in a larger radius for example. You’re the only other person I’ve seen mention something similar.

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

We don't need the player to be even more overpowered by removing the risk of wearing Elytras, considering mobs are already comparatively weaker due to power creep and further protection enchantment from the chestplate makes hitting the wall trivial (same goes for just trying to escape PvE/PvP scenarios in general where not only can you fly away-- you also take practically zero damage while doing so). If we're gonna use Terraria to bring certain features in; then at least put into consideration why Terraria has those features in the first place (aka Terraria mobs tend to be more powerful and agile-- aka it's more balanced)

[@cheerstothat8089]

@user-tzzglsstle585e38 If we're talking tradeoffs, then imagine only having one accessory slot for Minecraft and having more accessories that may somehow be more desirable than the elytra such as the totem of undying and/or something new and awesome. (Maybe a backpack, crab claw, etc.) Fine, maybe the risk is gone, but now there's an opportunity cost. It's an endgame item anyway, so why not implement it in a way that doesn't ruin the look of a player's armor? That's why people want to wear both at the same time anyway. Also, I'm not suggesting this because I want the game to behave more like Terraria. As an avid player of both, they are two fundamentally different games, and I don't want that to change. I was just taking inspiration for what I believe to be a generally good idea.

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

​@@cheerstothat8089 Other than the fact that there's currently no other more desirable item than the Elytra (as well as said item functioning completely differently from an equipment like Totems); it still turns the player too powerful, especially considering getting an Elytra isn't exactly something locked behind a longer and harder progression like Terraria (this would become even more prominent once they start implementing Vaults to other structures like End Cities). If aesthetic is the problem anyways and we are willing to implement completely new features to balance it; then either retexture the Elytra to always have a chestplate that can be trimmed, or allow leather/leatherworker villagers to be useful by somehow allowing Leather Tunic specifically to be combined with Elytras through Smithing Tables or Trading (and Leather Tunic is much more customizable than any armor types so it's even better for addressing aesthetics). There's definitely a lot of things that Minecraft can borrow from Terraria when it comes to combat-related stuff but borrowing things that can drastically affect the balance negatively is not it when Minecraft is already badly balanced in the power-scaling.

[@diurtydantv8061]

As someone who likes to mess with resourcepacks the gui texture changes make me so happy

[@NanakiPL]

I got a werid idea about the Ender pearl unloading when player logs off the server. - Make a bubble column for the pearl. - Instead of a trap door, put some string above and an observer looking at it. - Observer refreshes a comparator decay clock when the pearl bounces in the bubble column (hitting the string). - When player logs off*, pearl stops refreshing the decay clock and after some time, the clock goes off. - At this point a piston pushes/pulls soul sand away to disable the bubble column. (edit: or swaps for a magma block to speed it up) - Player logs back in, and the Ender pearl floats to the bottom, teleporting the player once it hits. Boom! Truly wireless Ender pearl stasis chamber. Just log out for some set amount of time and you'll get teleported back home when you log back in. * Stasis chamber obviously needs a chunk loader itself.

[@BellCube]

The design may work without a dedicated chunk loader depending on how long the chunk remains loaded after the player logs off (and if you want it to teleport you home EVERY time you log off) 🤔🤔🤔

[@moonshine7753]

You can also add a system such that if you wait too much the chamber gets turned back on. This way you don't always get teleported but maybe you have a 10 minute timeframe to use it. Which means you can have as many of these as you like, and by waiting different times you can get teleported anywhere! (As long as the server stays always on)

[@SliferStreaming]

Thing is that the pearl goes back to the position it was in when the player logged out, right? Wouldn't that mess it up?

[@NanakiPL]

​@@SliferStreaming Currently the pearl is deleted when player logs off and you have to pop a new one in the stasis chamber after logging back in. Pearl reappearing in its previous position is the exact mechanic I want to use. It won't mess it up, it relies on it :)

[@NanakiPL]

@@BellCube Good point. But that's only one of two things to consider. One is for how long are chunks loaded by an Ender pearl when players logs off. May be possible to detect it disappearing in that time to switch it to „summon” mode. At this point it can wait unloaded. Second is what happens when player logs back in. Does the pearl load that chunk when reappearing with player login? If both of these are generous, it's possible no chunk loader will be needed.

[@chimeradev]

Thanks for the shoutout ❤ The elyplate will be ready soon 👀

[@ovencake523]

wait this is very interesting the fact the ender pearl disappears and reappears upon log off and log on means you can have a trans-dimensional player detector. you could make redstone trigger when someone logs off or on anywhere in the world, so long as it isn't loaded.

If they want to encourage transportation methods other than the elytra, they should make it so ender pearls no longer damage you when teleporting It would make more sense thematically (endermen don't take damage) as well as gameplay wise, to encourage variety

[@IngieKerr]

i agree... but take it the extra thematic step: you _do_ get damaged - but only if your pearl hits water - as would an enderman [and then you get *more* damage than currently] - that way, it adds that wanted variety of travel without penalty, but also that element of greater occasional risk if you use them blindly into unknown regions.

You barely take damage though. If you have feather falling 4 and protection 4 you don't even get half a heart of damage

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

If you wanna encourage transportation other than elytra; they should instead properly balance other transportation systems like Rails on top of Copper having increased speed and speed limit or making Horse Armor enchantable with Frost walker and make the trees a few blocks taller to make Horse travel smoother as a whole. Removing the one drawback of Ender Pearls as a transportation (with it requiring high level enchantments to negate) would simply remove any kind of hope that other transportation method other than Pearl Cannons and Elytras will ever be practical-- discouraging variety instead.

Since interdimentional ender pearl travel was added I’ve been really wanting to try make a system where instead of using regular nether travel, you can just link up loads of slime block launchers in the nether which connect to all portals you want to have in a system, and you could select which portal you want to go to via something like the stamps on Hermitcraft. However, if you’re at the stage of the game where building this is a viable option, you probably have an elytra which would deem this idea pointless

My first thought for the new ender pearls is an online player detector. Since the pearls unload when the player leaves the server even if the chunk they’re in is still loaded, you could have a tripwire over a statis chamber in place of the trapdoor, allowing you to detect when the player enters and leaves the server.

[@rick-sanchez]

The pearl loading can and will cause a lot of lag for larger servers. The pearl should only load chunks if it has any horizontal motion. It would still keep the current snapshot throwing behavior. It would still allow pearl cannons. And it would still allow to build chunk loaders with them although they would now be a bit more complicated than "a soulsand and 3 water blocks"

[@enkvadrat_]

Not that bad, a player load much more chunks. Only if you intentionally want to lag the game you will do it with a epearl and that you could do with ordinary portal chunkloaders aswell

I could see that being used when you're in danger on a hardcore world, or just need to travel thousands+ blocks back and forth a few times. Extra points if you can make it require a specific number of unloads.

the future has custom UIs and i'm SO here for it

[@Starhunter1975]

Looking forward to watching what Etho does the with Enderpearls. Thank for the video X.

[@mikael8276]

Can't wait for 1.21.2, will start a new vanilla world.

[@Cuestrupaster]

Ray made a good video showing why they reverted some of the things that the mobs kept while transforming...

[@williamaustin26]

Armored elytra has been in vanilla tweaks for some time now. I don’t know how xisuma missed that

[@amdkillaplays]

VanillaTweaks have had an armoured elytra datapack for a long time. It involved throwing them both on top of an anvil to craft

[@nicholasordish3033]

true but you couldnt see them together it would only show the wings and give you the protection of the armor. we want to see both.

[@jameslionbreath]

Some things they should add: Sheer pigs and strider for saddle Option for what can pass tru a Beacon Option to give the property of a broken but repairable (aka like the wings, they don't disappear and you can repair) Pet animals (wolfs, cats, parrots) should chunkload when standing and outside of player chunk loading zone to teleport to them more reliably Fix dolfins by maybe giving them the not Drow/suffocate when Far away Do note idk if they are in the game in other forms

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen7027]

Oh my god, Ender Pearl Stasis Chambers are now also going to keep my farms running. Holy shit.

[@Tqhveli]

Bundles would so cool if you could dispence items like a dispencer, so you could have potions in a bundle and just click to use one potion on you

[@isoul22]

Watching Mojang slowly move the game to data-driven systems is so exciting, I grew up with this game and remember being very sad when Mojang said they would make a modding API, and we never got it, this isn't quite that, but it's close enough, datapacks are becoming more powerful with each update and I love seeing it, can't wait for the day we no longer need special launchers and mod loaders to change the game, especially for small servers with less technically inclined players!

[@punctdan]

You can now sit on a Zombified Piglin when the pig you ride gets stroke by lightning.

[@KodLiokoSrbija]

Xisuma never fails to buff my pearl!

[@Minty_Meeo]

RIP ender pearl hanging, hello easy ender pearl stasis chambers.

[@KingNothing19975]

As someone said, enyer pearl cannons. There was a cannon, probably Scicraft server, that could travel around 30k block. So now it will be much more usable

[@ashheilborn]

I have heard that mojang promised a proper modding api… sounds like ghis datapack stuff is it! And it’s getting more complete every update.

[@Shizuka965]

That chunk loading feature is going to make the tps of a lot of servers go down lmao

[@eduardpeeterlemming]

Speedrunners gonna hate this change to enderpearls

[@malady420]

speedrunners run 1.16.1

[@KittenKatja]

6:25 That was a floating point precision issue.

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

They're basically making modding a lot easier and more vanilla compatible. Hopefully this gets added to Bedrock, maybe as a menu. Imagine if you could add the egg laying/scute shedding propert to any mob? Have chickens/parrots shed feathers and stuff like that. I'm still waiting for them to add a tameable tag.

[@CCMuffin]

I think of different “small tweaks” over a vast of things is a big update and a “new mob” as a small update at this point

[@ILikeWafflz]

Also means no more "pearl hang" strats in speedrunning

[@JackieRoxs]

Ender pearl launchers gonna be insane.... Imagine doing it on the Nether Roof with a waterless launcher....

[@erin.anderson]

Being able to modify and change things so easily via datapacks is cool and all, but the real benefit from moving more and more of this stuff to being data driven is on Mojang's side, as it allows them to make future updates faster and easier.

[@Mimikyuke]

I feel like with alot of the technical changes it feels like they're kinda turning Minecraft into an engine of it's own.
