Minecraft: The List - Episode 9

[@SemiHypercube]

I really like the idea for making slime chunks detectable, it's a cute way to do it and I've always felt like slime spawning is one of the more unintuitive mechanics in this game Also like the idea for zombie horses moving faster at night (though the idea of them breeding with regular horses is a bit weird, skeleton horses can't do that)

[@RetroTerrestrial]

I also love the slime chunk idea. It’s a fun way of doing it without adding an entirely new item (technically is, but it’s just putting 2 existing things together)

[@luciatheorphan]

this idea does already exist in the Botania mod

[@koenahn]

As an added bonus this would help bedrock players visually check at least some chunk borders

[@waveclaw]

Botania has the slime in a jar. Supplementaries and Create have jumping slime in a bucket. Other mods have even stranger ways to find slime chunks. So vanilla has no limit of detection methods.

[@J55_ZR]

The Zombie horse idea is actually so smart, because the abandoned villages are pointless

[@notquiteanonymous9365]

and making them faster at night makes it an 11/10 idea

i recon they shouldnt be able to breed, but convert normal horses when they bite them.

[@moontravellerjul]

i'm not big on the turtle armour idea, since the existing implementation implies you are wearing a literal turtle shell on your head, which i think is fun, and makes armour choice more creative and strategic, since it's a reason to mix and match armour pieces. (same reason leather boots having utility on powder snow is also really cool.) also, with obtaining scutes being difficult already, why make the process grindier for obtaining a full armour set? i actually hope more individual armour pieces with exclusive bonuses are added, since it makes the whole armour mechanic more interesting to engage with (instead of simply aiming for full diamond or netherite).

[@RyanEglitis]

Once you're collecting scutes, a few more is much easier to get than the first few.

[@Gzussss]

You can wear a turtle shell on your back. TMNT

[@skztr]

Exactly! The "every new material makes every type of item" precedent was a mistake. There should be more items like the turtle helmet which are unique in style and provide a benefit that makes you question which you want to wear, rather than just "obviously I want the best material"

[@ezdispenser]

i agree

[@miridium121]

A potion book would be such a quality of life improvment. Even just a book you could get in game with the instructions!

[@Dukestergames]

Burnt wood adjacent lava pools would make a ton of sense! I do think the texture could be slightly more distinguishable from the normal variant however. Great stuff! :D

[@margustoo]

Rather than having barely different wood textures for burnt woods I would like to see black wood and planks that can be created by burning other wood types.

[@SharkingLot]

It could create a charcoal wood type that would also be useful for smelting

[@FLLMALL]

the purpose for the similar textures is to allow players to build with the existing wood types without risk of getting their buildings burnt down, but it would also be great to have a black wood type.

[@lukahumar1371]

Or maybe have different stages of burnt wood. Regular is just regular, then there's blackened and charred, both darker than regular wood types but you can still tell charred cherry wood from charred oak. At the end it all becomes burnt wood, it's a black wood type and there's no difference regardless of what wood type you started from. Unlike copper though, you can't reverse the burning/charring, but I do think that's fair given how much easier it is to get a lot of wood compared to copper, plus it's much more easily renewable.

[@EmperorPenguin1217]

Slime chunks should be changed into a full slime cave biome I was thinking that turtle armor could have a super tanky effect, wearing a complete set could give you crazy resistance at the cost of moving way slower somewhat similar to the potion but make you relatively better underwater Might not work but I think maybe an endermite can burrow into a shulker, and make some kind of extremely strong new enemy Striking a tree with lightning could create a new woodtype that has some kind of unique function Anvils should always be able to be dropped from midair, similar to Smash Bros. ALSO: Shulker shells should be the ingredient for levitation potions

[@pseudopod]

Slime caves would be really cool! They would make powerful slime farms easier, but I'm not sure that is a problem.

[@Eugen1344]

I love the turtle armor idea. It should make you very slow on land, but faster while underwater. This will also give you a choice: you either go with a boring netherite armor with elytras, or a full set of turtle armor, which gives you a similar protection and a bunch of underwater effects

[@SilvyReacts]

The main issue with the slime cave idea, is that slime chunks are way too common, and it involves the entire chunk below y40. So, that mechanic would have to be stripped out and a new slime cave mechanic would have to be made to take its place.

[@skaidonC]

As another commenter added above, the turtle armour seems a bit too much, as the turtle helmet implies you are wearing a turtle shell on your head, whereas a full set of armour...? The slime cave biome replacing slime chunks though? Amazing idea. Either that, or slimes are adjusted so they only spawn under certain conditions (i.e. it's possible to make creeper-only or spider-only farms by taking advantage of spawn mechanics for those mobs, you should be able to the same with all mobs - zombie only + skeleton only + slime only farms

[@EmperorPenguin1217]

@@skaidonC "whereas a full set of armour...?" Maybe the "chestplate" could be a Master Roshi shell thing or be like the Darwin's Danger Shield from TF2 The "leggings" could be a little closer to kneepads and the shoes could just be two small shells cupped over your feet

[@RetroTerrestrial]

I think that the full turtle armor is the first thing in this series that I disagree with. I like that you’re basically wearing a turtle shell on your head and not creating an entirely new armor. I would like more turtle scute uses though.

I REALLY need the smallest slimes to be a neutral mob and be able to use a lead on them. I need baby slime pets. The already don't do damage to player, so I don't see that it would break the game to add this. Did I say how much I need baby slimes as pets? I do. They are far too cute to kill. Perhaps have the slime balls drop from the mid-level slime, like magma cubes do. The mechanic is clearly already there!

[@EmperorPenguin1217]

They should add the tropical slimes from Minecraft Earth since they're neutral for some reason, and have them spawn on beaches too. Tropical slime blocks would be able to let you fall through only if you fall fast enough and they don't slow down anything that steps on it. Otherwise they're just normal slimeblocks without any bouncing when interacting with pistons

@@_Heb_ The elytra method Cub suggests would be significantly faster. Walking around planting that much tnt would take time and be harder to target everything. Flying over it would be a lot easier to destroy an entire base. Manually placed tnt is easy to fail to trigger unless you put a *lot* down.

[@Pedro-ss2qr]

Here's a cool suggestion: There should be more upgrades for diamond armor besides netherite. Imagine some kind of end armor that would be more focused towards mobility than netherite but would also give you less protection. Different playstyles could have different upgrades after diamond, keeping diamond armor iconic and necessary, as it should be, and providing more choice for the player depending on their playstyle.

I feel like charred/burnt wood would be much cooler and more useful if instead of slightly changing the texture and making it non-flammable, the log became completely black (inside and outside) and you could get a new black woodset to act as the opposite of pale oak wood. Every log would turn into the same charred log, so it wouldn't create a bunch of slightly different variants of already existing blocks. Otherwise, everything else is a great idea!

[@acidslushie]

the wiggling slime idea is so cute !?!? ive always thought it strange that slime chunks are undetectable but this is by far the best solution ive seen

[@ryanreklaw]

The zombie horse is a great one; and to add to the one for the ender eye; instead of it only glowing in a stronghold; make it so it subtlety gets a stronger glint the closer you get; so it starts very dim and then is at full glint when on top of a stronghold

[@eatham.]

i think they should make a structure that shows bookshelves can be used to increase enchants on enchanting table as it's not entirely obvious. they've been going around trying to reduce the need of players having a wiki or preknowledge to do things too anyway.

[@rachelkubacki1642]

omg the thought of a baby slime wiggling in a bucket made me make a little happy noise out loud. That is like the cutest solution you've come up with for anything and I want it YESTERDAY. Obviously down with the potion recipe list because I always have to pull up a graphic. Yes yes yes yes yes to the zombie horse but I don't think it should be breedable but can turn other horses into zombie horses. Maybe on the night of a new moon or full moon or blood moon. Zombies don't breed they transform with a bite. Although biting zombie horses is terrifying. Yes to the whole eye of ender thing. Yes Yes Yes. The Whole Burnt wood thing seems interesting but I am not sure why there would be motivation to make it. I will ask you to elaborate in a stream because I just don't get the need for it.

LOVE the zombie horse generation idea, and faster at night too

[@savdebunnies]

Tiny slime in a bucket is amazing and I would like to add to that that more mobs under a certain size should be able to put in a bucket. Frogs, baby turtles, maybe the new baby squids. Heck, just make a bucketable tag so mobs can more easily be added in the future (and datapack makers can have even more fun).

[@Khual]

It is really not a basic knowledge for new player to know a slime chunk. So I think this idea is very good and like you said, it teaches players about chunks too

[@BoxBlair]

The tnt flying idea is such a good idea. Best way to tackle the tnt duping problem

[@silvinity4939]

It would help, but I think the largest issue that needs to be resolved about tnt duping isn't the mobility but the resource requirements, as in why do I have to go strip a desert or beach bare of every block of sand to get enough tnt for this or that project? I don't really care how difficult they feel they need to make it but renewable sand is the biggest issue that needs to be tackled.

I really like the zombie horses in zombie villages ideas. It might also be a cool possibility if one or two spawned in mangrove swamps, depending on its total size. For breeding, there could be a "zombie clone" potion that requires a golden apple and a totem of undying to brew. It wouldn't be easy to breed them that way, but not impossible, either (unless playing survival in peaceful, where there are no mansion mobs to slay to get any totems, but cheats are a workaround there,) and breeding wouldn't depend on a second zombie horse which is in turn dependent on finding a second zombie village.

[@morrowdimtindomiel]

I like the charred wood idea. I have long said that stones need a sooty variant to counter the mossy variants, craftable like mossy, but using charcoal instead of moss.

[@DuelScreen]

I like Cub's idea for the Zombie Horses but I want to share the one I had years ago: Add a small chance for a Mounted Piglin to spawn riding a Zombie Horse. Players would have to fight and slay the rider to release the steed and what happens when players attack Piglins? :D Besides being very rare (I'm thinking a 1% spawn rate or lower) they would be able to travel across lava without sinking or taking damage. And if brought to the overworld they should gain Cub's suggetion of running faster at night.

[@pepearown4968]

I almost like the idea of them getting rid of mundane and thick potions entirely, and maybe having us need to brew a new “awkward variant” with a new warped Nether wart. I think the name “pugnacious potion” would be a good indicator that it’d be used for effects that cause something to happen when you fight/kill something (oozing, infested, etc.). And, also, add crimson and warped cap blocks to replace the Nether wart caps big Nether fungi have now, and make Nether wart blocks into separate blocks that can actually be crafted back into Nether wart.

[@RyanEglitis]

Slime in the bucket!! So cute

[@ArcaneAxolotl]

I like your zombie horse idea a lot! I think you should also be able to get them by breeding skeleton horses with normal horses (sort of a midway between the two). Skeleton horses maybe being able to be bred with milk buckets (milk helps your bones grow strong). Would also allow to get better skeleton horses, because their usefulness is kinda hurt by them always being the same slow speed.

I would love the ability to buy potion recipes from a Cleric or something like that, to gradually build your own potion book

[@RetroTerrestrial]

I have thought of the burnt wood mechanic myself. I think it would be an interesting way to add black wood to the game.

[@maxderp6588]

Something else I've been thinking about. What about brewing stands having some blaze powder in them already? For example; the ones in villages only has fuel to brew (no powder in reserve) the tradeoff is if you want to move it you lose the fuel and if you want to use it you must use it where it spawned. For stands in igloo basements, maybe have one or 2 pieces blaze powder either in the stand or in the chest. This will give players who don't like the nether a chance to craft ender chests or the incentive to explore if they want to go to the end without having to go find a nether fortress...

[@bmw121]

Another fantastic suggestion video! Everything mentioned should be added

[@paulamerson945]

Another cool thing about endermites would be if they had a chance to spawned when endermen teleport as well. I think that was the original point since 3block tall endearment can't attack hidden players in confined spaces. Having endermites spawn while even farming endearment would be crazy in a good way.

Campfires: I believe they should be craftable without a crafting table and lit with just a torch. I enjoy using them every time I start but feel the added resources of extra crafting nerfs their utility as you might as well craft a furnace and forego the the fire altogether.

[@adam2802]

I've always thought they shouldn't use coal in making them, and they just aren't lit until you bring out the flint and steel. Surely the iconic campfire doesn't use coal anyway, and something with 'starter' imagery should be available as part of the most basic skill tree. 'But what about the flint and steel? Surely that's Later than coal?' Yeah well just cos you can stack some sticks together doesn't mean you know how to light them. What it Does tell a player is that Something can be used to light them. And flint and steel are, I think, avaliable in villages. If I were making changes from the ground up here, I'd probably make flint and steel a Very early first trade from villagers, one you can get by trading sticks.

[@NedJeffery]

Re: Slime chunks I think whenever you enter a slime chunk, a small slime should spawn in that chunk, somewhere close to the player. This means you will see them much more often, and they will give players a clue about where the chunks are without any additional information provided.

[@Andrewtr6]

I love the bucket of slime idea! However, I think slime chunks should be removed and replaced with a new type of cave. Slime caves could add a new block made of slime. Hardened Slime? Slime Stone? I'm not sure, but it could also be made by smelting a slime block. This new block could be turned into the typical bricks etc. I don't agree that Mundane and Thick potions should be removed. Just give them a use. I would change how they're obtained though. My first thought is that the Mundane potion could make you immune to other potion effects. This would be useful for PVPing a player that uses splash potions. Or a splash potion of Mundane could remove a player's potion effects. Of course, these potions would also prevent you from using potions yourself. A mundane potion could last twice as long as typical potions. This adds a way to resist potions and remove them from opponents. Currently, we can only remove potions by drinking milk. Mundane potions would also prevent the Mining Fatigue effect from Guardians and Levitation from Shulkers. For this reason, the brewing ingredient should be rare; something that can't be easily farmed. However, these potions would not require nether wart as a reference to how they are currently brewed. Btw, In Bedrock, both Mundane and Thick potions can be used to brew weakness potions. As for Thick Potions, I'm not sure. One thought is that they are meant as a counter to Mundane potions. Thick potions could use as a base for the other potions. They create Thick *Insert Potion* (Thick Strength Potion for example) which won't be removed by a mundane potion. The mundane potion can reduce the time duration or reduce a strength II potion down to strength I for example. I don't think this would be a bad idea as it would give players a way to counter mundane potions without mundane potions losing their use. So, if you use thick potions as the base for your swiftness, strength, and regen potions you can still have potion effects applied while having the Mundane status to prevent opponents from applying negative effects to you. Speaking of potions, we need a potion update that adds some of the missing effects like levitation and hunger. A potion of hunger could easily be added by brewing up zombie flesh. Burnt wood should be called Charred Logs. I think it sounds better. The appearance should also be more drastic to really sell it. If we got charred logs, I would expect to see charred planks and the like too. Instead of adding burnt variations for every log type, I think it's more likely Mojang would just add a single log type known as Charred logs. This could be a black log with ashy planks. A charred forest is something I've seen suggested a lot especially along with the idea of a Volcano biome. Lastly, the tnt bomber idea and eye of ender change are two of my favorite suggestions!

[@Elemanaphant]

[@metetong2065]

[@slimtim3816]

One thing I would add (idk if you’ve said this already as I haven’t watched all the vids) would be having the Looting enchantment also effect xp drops as L1 gives 20% more xp, L2 40%, L3 60%

[@matthewlofton8465]

slime in a bucket is an existing mod idea, so with Mojang being reticent to merely lift someone else's idea in whole what can make it different enough that Mojang would probably say yes? One idea I happen to like is that you have to place the baby slime in a flower pot. If the slime grows bigger but stays in the pot, it means you are not in a slime chunk but are near one (size of slime indicates visually how close--large = adjacent, medium = 2 chunks away, baby = 3 or more chunks away); if the slime pops out of the pot and starts bouncing around as a mob again, that chunk is a slimechunk. That would turn slimechunk-finding into a sort of Minefield game where you have to figure out where the chunks are from the context clues. For endermites, we currently have a nonspecific artificial way to create silverfish (potion of infestation) and a nonspecific way to create endermites (ender pearls). In the past, the "lore" of endermites was that they existed in an in-between dimension that ties the three dimensions together so that endermen can teleport into them but I think this was later decanonized. What if endermites also naturally spawned in the end to fill the silverfish role there? They burrow into the end blocks (endstone, purpur), breaking the infested ones wakes them up, and damaging the mites wakes up more. I suppose they could infest all the blocks that all silverfish-like mobs do. I agree with the zombie villages having zombie horses, but I don't think they should breed with regular horses...they're dead, that stuff doesn't exactly work anymore. Instead, zombie horses and regular horses could be another layer to the battlefield interactions...zombies/zombie villagers will only interact with players/villagers and do all the things they do, while zombie horses will only interact with horses. We can expand on horses to make them able to fight back or run away as needed. Curing zombie horses would be the same as for zombie villagers, and they'd regain/obtain their old horse stats as appropriate (perhaps curing them would be the only way to get a warhorse capable of fighting back, with normal horses having a chance to spook). An alternative way to introduce zombie horses would be to tweak the way zombie sieges work. Currently, they're just a mass spawn of a bunch of zombies that can spawn in places they normally couldn't. If the siege were reworked to be a bit more raid-like then we could add zombies on horses, zombie horses in general (filling the ravager role), start introducing other undead mobs like skeletons and skeleton traps and skeleton/zombie variants. Alternatively, just get rid of zombie sieges as a separate event entirely and make it a chance-based raid-variant with a final wave that has some witches, maybe an illusioner, and a new pillager necromancer (kinda like the evoker but it spawns in more undead instead of vexes). Shulkers showing their contents (like bundles) should be quite doable, but the way they went about showing the bundle items (it only shows a max of like 12-13 items, anything else after that is relegated to the " plus N more" text you can't interact with). That seems like it might be more intentional than just "it makes the window too big" and that could easily translate to any QoL update to shulker interaction. With 27 slots, I would expect more to be shown than bundles but I don't think having that makes shulkers better. Burnt wood should char in layers stacking away from the source of the fire, making them like layer blocks in a way. However, there are 6 blockfaces and firespread could be turned on so it's feasible that the char pattern would be multidirectional (and just having a set orientation like layer blocks would break immersion too starkly for me). I think the char could be rendered the way banners are rendered, allowing for interesting and intricate patterns to be developed.

[@michaelgage652]

When copper was introduced to the game I started proposing either introducing a new wood or an existing wood like acacia that can age. It won’t age while it’s in its generated tree form but when it’s harvested, much like how leaves won’t despawn if they’re placed, when placed down the wood would age to grey just like copper ages. So only placed wood could age, there would be variants like the copper block, and you could wax it to stop the aging process at the desired levels. I also think the azalea trees would be a good candidate for this because right now they are just oak logs. It could give them some function. Expanding on this idea I thought the same could be done with birch tree leaves. After planting a birch tree, the leaves will age while on the tree. The copper aging mechanic causes copper next to an aged copper block to age faster than one not in contact with it. So aging leaves on the tree in this way would cause the trees to not be a kaleidoscope of messy colors but a more cohesive blend as they age. When you harvest the leaves it locks the color. We would be able to have color variations of leaves. Say green, yellow, orange, red, and maybe even a plum and or brown as the last aged color.

endermite burrowing benefits: 1 trolling. another idea: endermite can burrow into a limited set of blocks like end stone, birch logs, cobblestone, netherack and glowstone. this creates a new block set depending on which block it burrows into. (i don't agree with "make it purple"). these five specifically are rarely used in builds due to their "ugly" textures and are common enough that even if someone does use it in their base, griefing their base with endermites can easily be fixed.

I like the idea of making more Turtle Shell uses, but would prefer a different implementation simply because I don't need more armor and tools for niche uses cluttering up inventory. I already think the utility of Leather Boots should be included in Frost Walker, making it a worthwhile treasure enchant to search for while still providing Leather as an early game alternative. Accordingly, the current Turtle Shell helmet should stay, and the new utility could come from a new Smithing Template. Found in a new dungeon, this template could use the Turtle Shell as the copy material, and allow you to apply aquatic upgrades to any armor of your choice. This would include giving the current shell's effect to any helm, plus the new effects to other armor slots. Dissapointed you can't look like a turtle? Same dungeon can have an armor trim to solve that too! The scutes themselves would also make a neat, less vibrant green armor trim color. If copper and resin can both be orange, why not have multiple shades of green? Maybe prismarine too!

Love the idea for the turtle scoots

[@DuelScreen]

I suggest using Abandoned and Zombie Villages to solve the problem of hidden villager types. Make villages of these types spawn in biomes that don't have natural village generation. It's swamp and one other. Voila! Now the hidden villager types will be found by the players who will naturally want to repopulate those villages. It will also make those village types spawn more often. They're a bit too rare in my opinion.

I just keep imagining the devs taking notes every time one of the lits vids get out

[@laineywright2696]

Slime chunks are so hard to find and figure out that I refuse to fool with them. Do I use cheats, I'm forced to used cheats or commands otherwise I will never have sticky pistons. Turtle scoots, another item in the game I choose to ignore. The mechanics of turtles, collecting scoots to make helmets, ridiculous. Zombie horse spawning is logical, maybe too logical for Minecraft. I think they want you to Wiki brewing stand recipes. Fandom Wiki Minecraft has a lot of ads, maybe the collect a fee for views made, lol. Great points on all list suggestions, Cub. I hope we all reap the benefit of change in you suggestion.

[@SuperLkelley]

Such a brilliant set of suggestions!

[@vissieroo5493]

The last change for eyes of ender would be very good (going into the frame when thrown near the portal) as I've accidentally thrown one rather than placed it, and then lost that eye faaaar too many times! Especially frustrating when you've already run low on them due to them breaking while finding the stronghold! I've lost count of how many times I've had to leave the stronghold to get one more pearl or blaze powder, because my last eye was thrown instead of placed! 🙈

[@RogueAlchemist]

I love the slime chunk detection system. I know there are mods that can do it and some in a similar way. I hope to see this in vanilla soon. Also a potion book? Yes, Please!!! I can never remember all the recipes and I use the other book when crafting all the time, so this would be an intuitive addition. ~Sassy~

[@shawnheidingsfelder8179]

Another way to find charred wood naturally could be from lightning strikes. That would require storms to be more frequent, but it might also give the trident another use besides zapping mobs. It seems like a chore to automate burning wood for a certain amount of time and hoping you get charred wood and not charcoal.

[@batatahigh382]

Fireworks will also be able to be used as a flare, i love the idea

[@maxdbz]

Actually a special fireworks that would work like a flare, staying lighted a bit longer and is highligted through blocks would be awesome when caving with friends and exploring!

[@whistlehammock]

​@@maxdbz they could call them spectral flares...

[@HebaruSan]

Huh, I always thought mundane potions were meant as a failure condition, like "you did it wrong, try again"

[@pepearown4968]

I think he’s saying that, if they add a brewing recipe book, there’s no need to keep them in.

[@j2kGorillazFan]

I want a zombie horse so badly! Agreed with slime chunks too. The tnt bombing would be epic as well. I also am a victim of not following ender eyes well 😅

[@heatherdozier5]

I agree with what some commenters have said about a slime cave, the issue with the bucket slime solution is that it still relies on debug features. I think we should be trying to get away from things relying on f3

[@TiredMoonRabbit]

100%

[@biIl]

you dont need to see the chunk borders, just walk around and notice when the bucket slime stops jumping

[@heatherdozier5]

@biIl ahh you're right, cub just kept turning chunk borders on in the example I didn't think about it

[@purple9847]

These episodes are so good

[@waveclaw]

At this point, cubfan has described a pretty interesting mod with new armor, mob features and decorative graphics. This presumes The List mod already doesn't exist.

[@micropig5]

I love the idea of wiggling slimes 🤣

[@Rapsciddy31]

I love these videos so much

[@QDCC]

I honestly never knew endstone is just inverted cobble, that pretty cool

[@carlospallete3030]

I pretty much agree with almost all of your suggestions, one issue I find is that these little QOL changes while they should be in the game, they aren't revolutionary and won't grow the playerbase, I think we need intrinsic motivation

[@BellePullman]

I would love to see a dark grey charred wood for building - with planks, fences, trapdoors etc. I don't think breeding zombie horses makes much sense, if they're dead and reanimated, how are they breeding? Maybe if a living horse is killed - struck by lightning maybe? next to a zombie horse, it transforms. I love the idea of them appearing in zombie villages though!

[@StorytellerForeverYT]

I hope this series never end until Minecraft is done 😂

[@tehbeard]

6:25 ehhh, as much as I'd like to have one less mod to check for with updates Cub... I really don't trust Mojang to do a good job on shulker box tooltips; this'd be bundles all over again, only letting your see the first row of items or some nonesense. And then I'd need a mod to fix that instead of adding it..

[@GaudyMarko]

I kind of like endermites, I definitely wouldn't want them removed but more mechanics or lore is always a plus.

[@SpookyCrown]

Yes, i found a zombie village just a few days ago and i was thinking the same, that zombie horses should be possible to find there. Instead of regular breeding it'd be cool if you could use rotten flesh in some way to create one?... but i guess that'd become more of a franken horse tho.

[@juhailmarisalminen]

I really think the end portal texture(the void with stars) should be 100% invicible and particle free. That way new players actually have anxiety jumping into a pool of lava.

[@DakotaZ162]

Holy didn't know cobble/end are same

[@just_some_donkus]

the eyes of ender suggestions are great. I hate using those things, it's always really frustrating for me
