Stained glass was originally a April fools feature, maybe some of the stuff will be added, un-jokeified of course like pushable tiles or modifiable piston push limit, I can also imagine the transform feature could be very fun for a new set of potions.

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

I’d like it if they made the push limit feature into a new piston variant crafted using a gold ingot or something. Perhaps it could have an 18-block push limit, and netherite for 24?

[@bennerdoodle3000]

[@BindMedia]

The transform potions would need to be an endgame thing for sure, but it could give use to the thick/mundane/etc potions

[@aiyowei187]

The copper sink is likely a play on the word "sink" also meaning an expensive thing that requires lots of a specific resource (albeit probably only in gaming I don't think it's used in many other places), as copper doesn't have much use but is an extremely common and abundant ore. And so they added a copper sink, in the form of a copper sink. It's expensive, and your lava farms are going to look positively outrageous.

[@fridaykitty]

I've heard some things being called a "time sink" which tbh just makes me think of a bunch of little clocks falling out of a faucet

[@Hexagonaldonut]

I really do hope some of this stuff makes it into vanilla; particularly a couple of the easter eggs and the /transform command. I can even see the pickaxe block/place block having a place with some tweaking (and rebalancing; within the context of base Minecraft, I'd definitely have the former in particular be gated behind diamonds and possibly also the End), I'm sure redstone folks would be quite happy to have them.

[@mystic7055]

Some of the technical feats achieved in this snapshot are honestly mindblowing. Not in the sense where it seemed impossible, but none of this stuff has ever touched the base game before. I wonder if they'll ever incorporate some of the technical abilities at some point in the future.

[@SpagettyCraft]

I'd take 1/8 blocks over the entire 1.20 update any time. Like I don't care about a weird looking sniffing turtle, I want to be able to build stuff that's proportional to the player's size but looks like real world stuff. Like cars, furniture, thinner walls.

[@itsdomtoo]

@@user-tzzglsstle585e38 no, i mean the fact that they’re in this april fools update is massive and no one is talking about how big it is, everyone else is focused on the other things like the moon and transform and stuff. the fact that 1/8 blocks are now in base game mc means it’s entirely possible we can get them, and the question is why can’t we now? it works

Can even see it interacting with redstone where you can prevent it from breaking by powering the block and so on I'm sure there is further implications. I think a wooden, iron and copper variant would be interesting if only for the different textures to use in builds.

[@Musement1hz9oj]

There’s a vote called “Buff fishing” that makes a ton of fishing results come out at once as long as the rod is in the water. There’s another one called “Polluted oceans” that makes any item fishable. This combination makes an infinite stream of random items come out, including bedrock and netherite armour.

I hope the transform command makes it into official versions. I also really like the grappling hook. I think if they made it a bit weaker and gave it limited durability it could actually be a lot of fun in vanilla.

[@TheBloopers30]

[@holyhandgrenade5]

Remember how the dimension April fools update was using a bunch of the new functionalities they added for the next update? We will probably see some of these features (especially the tags with how you could vote for a bunch of new attributes). I doubt they’d add the moon, but the way that the moon tree grew seems to be a new type of block animation functionality that may be added.

[@FoxSlyme]

For those who are worrying about the things being only in the April Fools snapshot: remember how Mojang first introduced the multiple dimensions in one of these snapshots, and then we got the option to make them for real using datapacks? I think they might do it again, for example adding the option to change size of entities or movable tile entities

[@jacktech3725]

[@billotron5521]

Not all of it would be good in the base game, but parts of it are awesome. Overall one of the best April fools ones we've gotten tho.

[@joshluckhurst9220]

Its unbelievable how many good and cool additions they can make when its only a silly april fools update. It's almost like something is holding them back from adding so many great features into the game normally.

[@noa_1104]

Yes, there is. Decisions are less often reversible, what gets added later can’t be removed (usually), things have to be tested intensely, bugs are actually a problem, bedrock parity matters, how intuitive the features are matters, how they can be customized, if you can cheat with them, if the game lags too much…

[@panhandlesomen]

@@noa_1104 Bundles be punching the air rn

[@tlotro625]

​@@noa_1104 ah yes, minecart wheels, THE most complex and bug-inducing change.

[@liquidminds]

there are plenty of interviews with them about their approach. "throw in as much as possible" is the opposite of what they want. Usually, they do not leave out things because they can't add them, but because they do not want to add them. that's why the game can be modded. Anyone can throw in anything they want in the game.

[@LargePurpleMoth]

The potions of Big and Small could be useful outside of the April fools snapshot. Small to fit into smaller spaces while exploring, or big to get a better view and see over things, as well as them both assisting in building by allowing you to reach more without needing to scaffold or dig around as much

[@ViceCityExtra]

The potion of small should be a potion. Make yourself able to enter into smaller spaces AND make enemies easier to kill by making them small

[@rory9088]

Dude hasn’t fought a baby zombie. Is absolutely not easier.

[@gegethedog]

idk how it works but it would be neat if their values changed with their scale, like small enemies doing less damage with less health, and large mobs dropping more things (big cows give more raw beef and leather, etc)

[@bingbongmcgee]

One thing I found that seemingly nobody has mentioned is that in the world settings, you can select "minecraft: the moon" as the single biome, which is similarly cratered to the cheese moon but is covered in water and dark grass and mountains, regular gravity and no cows... but you can still find the self-assembling moon base there.

[@caltheuntitled8021]

You used to be able to do that kind of thing with the hell biome. It generated as a plains biome, but nether mobs spawned.

[@SCtester]

The transform command alone brings more gameplay value than all of 1.20's features combined. After trying in-game, it's astonishingly polished, with tons of great little touches. For example, being a fish, you drown on land and can breath underwater. And as a flying mob, you can fly even in survival. This has got to be added into the base game!

[@blackmage1276]

Imagine using a transform potion and then hostile mobs would no longer be hostile towards you

[@SCtester]

@@blackmage1276 That actually happens! If you transform into a hostile mob, other hostile mobs will be passive unless attacked directly.

@@SCtester this could definitely be added in survival, using something iconic to a mob to brew a "transform" potion, as long as it was balanced.

[@Fernsaur]

Yeah, the /fillbiome command is already a great step towards something like this

[@MidnyteSketch]

These April Fool's snapshots are almost like spin-off games within snapshots, there was so much replayability in the Infinity snapshot just to see what random stuff you'd get, and this looks just as good.

The size changing potions could actually be a cool addittion to the game if theyre rare and dont last very long

[@arcanine_enjoyer]

Some of these would actually be pretty nice as features or things that can easily be activated via commands, if not already, datapacks. Such as changing the size of entities for story purposes (e.g. a giant Wither). Makes things more accessible to beginner map creators.

[@Ampheline]

As a server owner who messed around alot with unique command block mobs and stuff, Giant withers are one of the few things you CAN make in vanilla, Withers and phantoms actually have a size modifier in their tags that can be changed. Just so you know though, The size modifier for the wither also acts as it's timer for activating and exploding into a normal wither and it'll either shrink or grow depending on that size modifier til it hits a certain point. It can't attack or move when it's in that state. IIRC the wither's modifier is the Invul tag and the phantom's is just size.

[@benjaminbaron3209]

The cheese block mechanic for shaping NEEDS to be a thing with all the materials (at least the ones that make slabs and stairs). I don't care, if it's hard for the system to handle, it's needed!

[@davidtauriainen9116]

Perhaps with a new tool, like a chisel.

[@ethanhawksley9097]

The thing is that it’s 100% not hard for the system to handle, they just don’t want to do it

[@Thatdankkoala]

Honestly I can see a block chiseling feature totally replacing slabs and stairs. Slabs and stairs are kinda annoying. Crafting the right amount is annoying, placing them is annoying, it’s a very problematic system. A chiseling system on the other hand has none of these problems. It seems a lot more convenient and more natural as well as providing more options in both materials and the shapes you can create. It’s just overall a better system and I can only hope that Mojang adds something like this in the future

[@mickys8065]

@@Thatdankkoala even internally this is better than the in-game system, since rather than "full block, half slab, stair, double slab" for some of the blocks, you just have 1 cheese block.

[@Tractorsareawesome]

I wish they would at least offer it on concrete and the stone varieties.

[@hexagon2185]

I think a few of the things in this snapshot like the portal, the moon, and the movable tile entities, and eatable blocks are tests for upcoming features. We might be getting a new dimension soon.

[@LEPrecon007]

Can't wait to see some of these as datapacks on vanilla tweaks soon. Especially the transform, scale, and the grappling hook (toned down a bit), wheels on a minecart, tile entity moving, and bouncy castle, among others.

That is pretty sus 💀 I really hope some day these snapshot will be released for bedrock as well ;_;

[@lucasthech]

One thing that not a lot of people say is that usually Mojang tests some feature that they want to add to the game inside these April first snapshots, so we are probably going to have the mob/biome votes inside Minecraft Java as well AND probably is a test for moveable tile-entities too

[@spritemon98]

And new dimensions from last year's april fools

[@edmundpunwpe]

imagine all the possibilities we could have if the /transform and /scale commands were added to the base game. Mapmaking possibilities would grow exponentially

[@Tortuex_]

int float short byte etc are data types available in java (they allow you to specify the type of a variable for example (e.g., int age = 50), { are to start and end } a code block and [ ] are used for arrays

[@qocket]

The placer, pickaxer, updated piston push limit and the ability to move tile entities is making me water at the mouth. Can you imagine the things they could do on scicraft with these in vanilla.

[@garr_inc]

I am scared.

[@NotSnak]

Should add them to the base game tbh. Just make pickaxer and placer more expensive and make it so pickaxer cant break stuff like obsidian and bedrock

[@snailtan4332]

@@NotSnak probably not going to happen because one of the golden rules of mojang is that "every block you have to place or break yourself" eg: they hate automation

[@salty_slug]

@@snailtan4332 not sure about "hate automation". They just want to make players think outside the box (for example, fully automated warp wood farms and mud farms can be made with no player interaction whatsoever). Whereas, a block that can break whatever is in front of it makes things like tunnel bores kinda one note and no innovation would happen really.

The Copper Sink/Cauldron is actually really cool, would look great in kitchen builds.

[@EpicNerdsWithCameras]

I am on my hands and knees praying that some of these features make it into the base game as Mojang has done with certain April Fool's features in the past. I know the chances of the block breaker and placer making it in are slim given their stance on block automation, but things like the transform command, gravity alterations, size changing potions, etc. would all be a ton of fun.

[@thomast9768]

So cool - both the snapshot and your coverage of it :-)

[@user-gy9ey1mr1b]

14:30 It reminds me of a fractal tree

[@ProactivePolicy]

Although many are jokes, quite a lot of these features need to be in the main game.

[@TimeWisely]

I would love if they kept some of this in the update, for example /transform, this is a TON of features for just an april fools update, a lot more then you'd usually see, they usually don't go absolutely all out like this. The dimensions one doesn't really count because the Biomes are very easy to generate, for example you can get MCreator and it'll allow you to generate custom Biomes.

[@TheAmerthyst]

I absolutly love the changing the waters color and fog. I've seen different swamps and marshlands and it would be really awesome that when doing any builds that have to do with them changing the color could really make it even more awesome.

[@itsgirlcraft5842]

Hi! Xisuma talked about the NBT items in the video, but I've been tinkering with them a little and have some information! Note: It's much easier to understand these if you already know how to do NBT data. - Items made in the crafting table are DIFFERENT from those from the creative menu. If you plan to mess with these in any way you should get used to the crafting table menu ;w; - The "Tag" item can be used in the crafting table to create a Byte - Bytes can be combined into Shorts, Integers, and Longs - Name, Float, Double, and String seem to be uncraftable, along with Tag. - Shorts and Integers can also be combined into their larger counterparts. - The Name and String items can be renamed in the anvil to change their values. - the String item can only contain one "value" per item. "placeholder","filler" will turn into '"placeholder","filler"' (notice the extra ['] at the ends). Do not use quotation marks when renaming. - List tags must be combined beforehand before you put them with the other items. That's all for now! I'm still figuring out what these are even for, and I don't know how to change the numbers for Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, or Double yet. I'll edit this comment when I find out.

[@morphious86.]

it's a pun the community has wanted "nbt crafting" for a while now, since you can add custom crafting recipes through datapacks, but you can't specify any nbt for the resulting item this is a very literal interpretation of nbt crafting

[@h-Films]

With the approved piston physics you can also use chains as they should work and slime blocks stick better

[@BenBanker]

Imagine if Hermitcraft would play on the April Fools snapshot for an episode each year. Would be really cool to see how everyone reacts to the wild changes.

[@domoslomo1]

Most of these features don’t fit vanilla Minecraft, but I feel like a few of these could be cool additions. The potions probably shouldn’t be obtainable in Survival mode, but the big, small, and mob potions are really fun features!

[@stephenkrahling1634]

I had the exact opposite reaction... With some polishing I would be 100% fine with the majority of these features. Minecraft dungeons proved to me "vanilla" just means polished, and that the core style of the game can fit so much more than what we have in the base game. Minecraft is one of the only games I know that has this issue with trying to constantly stay within some invisible box of 'not looking modded'. I would pay for a Minecraft 2 if it would let them actually try reimagining the game again and take some actual risks

[@theicecreamscreamer]

@@stephenkrahling1634 I agree. I feel like with 1.20, although there are some good features and I can tell Mojang has put a lot of work into it, they are playing it too safe. Most of the features will probably be ignored less than a month or two after release (other than for building.)

[@domoslomo1]

@@stephenkrahling1634 Oh, I 100% agree with Mojang broadening their definition of “vanilla.” I just meant that stuff like the bed banners, Midas Touch, and Moon dimension (in their current states) feel out of place in Minecraft. Others might disagree but, to me, there should be some limit to how outlandish Mojang’s additions are. Mojang’s desire to limit their creativity for the sake of some “vanilla feel” is why I’m still patiently waiting for Hytale to release; that game looks crazy compared to Minecraft, but I am all for it. Lol

[@maksymiliank5135]

I actually think that some of these changes fit Minecraft better than things like the sniffer, skulk blocks or archeology. The transform command, block placer/breaker and big/small potion effects should be in the base game.

[@shakzass]

This snapshot is absolutely crazy. Some of the additions are genuinely cool and I'd love if they were added to the base game in the future.

[@DatDarkDragon]

/transform would be the best thing ever for datapacks if it were actually added and the pickaxe and place blocks would be great for survival

[@Peekofwar]

I hope they keep the transform command. That will be very useful for people, especially machinima people or for adnims who just want to do a little trolling.

[@thevalarauka101]

I feel like they're going to add that transform thing as a command in proper Minecraft, just like how features of several other April Fools snapshots were later added (edit: likely a bunch of these other little gamerules too) suddenly nobody would need morph mod or pehkui any more

[@starbot9828]

I wonder if some of these things will be implemented into the base game. It wouldn’t be the first time that an April Fools snapshot introduced new features.

[@mickys8065]

The block placer doesn't just take from items behind it, it can also place items from any container behind it. So you can do some pretty huge stuff, like quicker dirt and mud farms etc. Where before the Player would need to place and destroy each block, we can automatically do it. I'd also have loved it if the infinite dimensions returned, especially if they merged it with the random votes. Each infinite dimension would have its own colours and rules, even moreso than they did originally.
