[@ivmatt3142]

Instead of a frozen shard, you should call the dungeon entrance item a “frost rune” or “frozen rune”. It would really tie in to the mystical opening sequence of the dungeon.

[@theshrikeer]

Then when he puts the rune down it can have another animation on the floor over the barrel like the person really did put down a rune and it opened the door.

[@ivmatt3142]

@@theshrikeer Yeah! And maybe there could be a trail leading from that to the door, as if the rune powers the sequence.

[@RandomUser311]

Aren't those for crafting frost resist gear for Naxxramas?

[@b-beale1931]

Problem with runes is all the far right neo ***** appropriating them

[@zekodun]

Or Isaz if we want to be accurate

[@austinestep8461]

Gem should have the heads, and she could definitely ‘get’ you extras, let’s go with that.

[@Ajlez]

True... I wonder if she still needs a Tango head too.... I remember she wanted to PVP him but thought he wouldn't leave the dungeon one stream 😅

[@zekodun]

GeminiSlay for the win

[@Estarfigam]

She has too many Etho heads as is lol

[@emmawilliams7477]

Fair trade: A tango head battle to help complete her collection for extras of hermit heads. Only fair because of the rarity of anything Tango

[@prestonbrandt1412]

Lol 😂

[@frederickthorne2496]

I feel like the fact that Tango lives in Decked Out and it is essentially his base, is understated.

[@TheeSlickShady]

He just sets up camp wherever he is building haha

[@Yukuyu]

He's quarantined himself for Decked Out 2 for a long time and the hermits are pretty much trying to get him go outside

[@dylanmarler5274]

On his streams there is a running joke about tango leaving his hole

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

hermits bring it up every time they visit

[@pachinko121]

I am absolutely dying to see the other hermits reactions to the door. Tango is a redstone savant and his ideas that he makes come to life are truly mind-blowing! I'm so excited for the day Decked Out 2 makes it debut!!!!

[@mrbanana7110]

It's technicaly deck out 2 this one

[@balentay]

I think I'm looking forward to seeing Cleo's reaction to the door the most!

[@thedeltastrat]

Crown shop idea: a fairly rare shop item, called a 'taunt' or something along those lines. It is a goat horn with a comical taunt at the wardens. At somewhere on level 3 or 4 there would be a sensor set to listen for goat horns (this only overlaps with arrow shooting and spyglasses/shields so I think should be fine?), and if one is used while at max clank the player gets some sort of reward. Or perhaps no reward at all, instead just a note saying to let others know of all the 'riches' the player got from the horn and how it is totally worth it to buy one and spend the time trying to find the right location.

[@bouncymischa]

I just had the sudden image of a player blowing the horn at a Warden and the horn goes "You'll speak when spoken to!"

[@lightning_11]

Haha that'd be hilarious!

[@khalednayfeh2780]

Another idea: have the hermits pay like 2 crowns for 2/3 steaks to use only in the game

[@Chloe_D]

Tango that door sequence is AMAZING! You might need to leave it open a little longer or include that sensor since they may be too blown away to move the first time they see it!

[@PromptCriticalJello]

Maybe reverse the door frame lighting up, to show that there is a time limit to get through.

[@caligusto]

​@@PromptCriticalJellogenius

[@Folzmvp]

You should definitely add a gift shop in that empty wall. People could use their crowns to buy items such as headwear, foods, novelties, etc. Hermits have wanted to try on your hood so why not design the hood so everyone can see what they look like without your face on it.

[@gristen]

an "i survived decked out and all i got was this lousy tshirt" would be really funny

[@robbiesleeps]

This would be sooo good

[@Tenordrumthunder]

As well as items for displaying in each hermits locker area in the main hall

[@mimizero9880]

@@gristen ooooo that reminds me of a haunted house, I think it's 17 doors (can't fully remember which haunted house)

[@deborahsheets2604]

Every time tango puts out an episode my internal monologue is just screaming at how insane the progress this man makes and how genius he is. AHH

[@TheeSlickShady]

He is truly an unbridled creative force of nature! His beyond-realistic progress continues to astonish me

[@RyleyDoesGaming]

You should be able to purchase snow balls, not only do they match the icy theme but they can distract wardens

[@SombreroMan716]

Would be kind of overpowered though

[@silverrayn4950]

​@@SombreroMan716I think that could be countered by making it more expensive maybe?

[@Silverstripedfox]

They could have very limited stock per run like 3-4 snowball shops with 1-2 snowballs available. Or give them a randomizer that has a 1/3 chance of actually giving the player a snowball. Or combine the two ideas. Make players choose to risk crowns/coins/embers for chance at a snowball or two that might distract the Wardens long enough for a narrow escape. But the snowball thing should probably be a DLC sort of thing getting added after Decked Out opens if the Wardens prove too deadly. Edit: just realized this is a suggestion for the shopy-shop outside the dungeon not something inside the dungeon. That's harder to balance, if it pops up rarely it could work and is somewhat expensive. Just as long as folks are only getting one or two snowballs max for their runs. Don't wanna make it too easy to get around the Wardens.

[@Ithenna]

@@SombreroMan716 Not really. You can only throw a snowball once every so often because if you throw them too close in succession, the Warden's aggro meter goes to max and they target the player until they are either dead or too far out of range for their AI to function.

[@crazyjay6331]

could also use them to hit target blocks

[@JampottBong]

That door is incredible! Just do be aware that the high resolution texture on the model means that there is a chance that the server’s mipmap levels could be turned down by it being in the resource pack (this is an annoying thing that happens sometimes). Might be worth rescaling the texture to something that’s still sharp but fits a Minecraft-y pixel reso, like 6400. That usually fixes the mipmap problem. Edit: you can see a few flickery textures in the distance already a few times in this video. This is is probably even something that most people don't notice or care about lol. but thought I'd point it out

[@LittleDergon]

I saw the flicker and thought it was intentional 😅 looked like neon lighting to me

[@iondis]

Thank you Jam!!! Amazing video too Tango!

[@qwystr]

Netherite with quartz trim would probably fit great with the hood!

[@TheCasper025]

I noticed that you’re not using all of those beautiful towers of yours. I think it would be fun to turn one into a challenge tower asking you to complete special side missions to get more frost shards. High risk mission would be higher up in the tower. A high risk high reward situation would be cool and it would allow people to grind more runs.

[@gristen]

yea something like a parkour challenge for shards or some other mini game would be really cool

[@Bluestonezee]

Not to mention it would be something hermits could do if someone was already doing a dungeon run!

[@fruity4820]

What if the entire castle was a labyrinth where the shards are hidden? I don't expect him to make a shop to distribute the shards, so that could be the go-to way to let hermits earn them. It would be such a shame if this epic build is nothing but a really fancy entrance to the daungen

[@Adeseo]

You could create unique models for different types of Suspicious stew - would be perfect for the shop. They give additional buffs but for seconds at a time, meaning you have to use them very intentionally, unlike potions that give you an ability over a long period of time. Some examples: Fire resistance stew: make it a “fire gem” texture or something, and when consumed, it gives 4 seconds of fire resistance. Could be useful to barely make it out of fire or lava, or for doing a one time skip across the warden only fire pathways in level 3. Saturation: gives 3.5 seconds of saturation, which could be helpful jump boost: “jump boost gem” It lasts so little that it’s basically single use unlike the card, and it’ll teach people about how useful that can be to have more regularly.

[@mozeytown]

This comment needs more upvotes

[@iveharzing]

This would be perfect!!

[@judem.2333]

plus you can mix in 30% or so percent with a debuff version so theirs still a gamble before you take the shortcut

[@EdahsShade]

Items Ideas by Me; A shield (with 3 durability) to the item shop and name it Golem's Hide. That way if a player is quick enough they can defend themselves once before the shield pops. Bonus points if you add an iron golem banner on the shield 😂 Another item idea is a skeleton key called the Magistrates Key in reference to the overseers room on level 4. It's a one time use that can open the door to any one level which can provide an opportunity for a player to attempt speedrunning the dungeon. A stack of gold nuggets renamed as bread crumbs, these will be useful for players in the early game to help them navigate the dungeon by leaving a trail for them to follow back to the entrance! Which can bite them in the butt once hazard doors start closing 😊

[@potatoe9453]

Hopefully he sees this😊

[@gbrom77]

Bread crumb idea is really cool!

[@EdahsShade]

@@gbrom77 honestly I'm hoping to see scar or etho leave a trail of bread crumbs just for the path to get cut off while being chased by an angry doggo

You should add soldiers on the side that hold up swords in front of the door and then move to a salute position when the door opens.

[@thecatfenix7907]

Absolutely, I was thinking he should probably do that though at the mine cart ride have a wither skeleton salute you as you go down in reference to the decked-out original.

[@urxx6957]

Really nice of you to make such a fancy door for Etho

[@wyomingptt]

🙄

[@deborahsheets2604]

This made me laugh audibly 😂

[@BertrandDunogier]

Underrated comment.

[@SSJ22Terris]

Shop Idea: You could throw in a small number of Snowballs for Warden distraction. You could really only use it to move them out of the way, and the number of corners and walls on the map would make it a little tricky to get very useful angles to guide them off the beaten path. Maybe you could even include a few hidden Target blocks in the dungeon that give you a small reward if you hit them with a Snowball.

[@mothforpresident]

This is so amazing!!! The door sequence with armor stands is so clever??? Also what if you made some powdered snow traps or areas only accessible through powdered snow and then sold leather boots to get to the areas! Idk if it would work since it would be armor. Maybe if they were really low durability? This is seriously such a cool project and so amazingly executed

[@emilyscloset2648]

+1

[@kitsunekaze93]

could be a good idea! unless he removed it, you can already buy iron armor, so shouldnt be a problem! so he could add a ( very visible ) powdered snow hazard you need to cross for some quest or valuable treasure (needs to be guaranteed more valuable than the price of the boots )

[@LegacyCatalyst]

If you want to close up the wall at 27:00, you could put an avalanche or an ice wall, or a combination of both in the doorway. I feel like it would add to the atmosphere of the room, and make sense lore-wise if you added extra stuff there. “Oh, the ice just melted and this machine was here the whole time, we just didn’t have access to it.”

[@devdevthrills]

Do Netherite armour with an iron ingot! Should match your robes pretty well, especially if unenchanted

[@GiangiotheDwarf]

Or with a diamond, for that touch of icy blue!

[@bobosaurus331]

Or quartz

[@jerrodrobinson9623]

That would look good, but could also just use the spiffy new glint accessibility feature and turn the glints down or off and keep the gear enchanted. The Netherite with iron or diamond would look good, probably more so diamond with the blue in the robe.

[@pierorodriguez1101]

Seeing all this appreciation to detail as an ux designer, i suggest tango taking the “available” and “in use” signs apart, the “resetting” one should be in the middle, so anyone could catch from a distance how much time lefts till’ becoming available I really love all the effort you’re putting into all the little details !!

[@benemenhall4215]

0:30 tango never be sorry for irl things or doing things you enjoy. You make amazing videos and make so many grindy episodes so much, you deserve some time off for you ❤ Edit - Hermitcraft and magic? What is this wizardry, oh wait it's just tango. Loved this episode, the door is pure brilliance absolutely love it Well at the shop maybe you sell signs, and at the 4th level you have a who's been here? Adds no added bonus but makes other hermits feel jealous as other people have been there before them.

[@evangillespie3267]

Agreed I am glad you have found things irl you like.

[@wernt0]

An idea for the crown shop. Have Suspicious Stew but don't mention what kind so it could either help or hinder the player

[@Direblade11]

Your comment is older with more likes, so I'm copy/pasting my comment: Ideas on what to sell: • 1 stack of 16 eggs, maybe two. I'm unaware if chickens attract Ravagers, but they do attract Wardens. • Suspicious Stew, randomized between certain effects with a 50 : 50 ratio between positive and negative • a parrot, plus seeds to tame it • maybe potions

[@MrBlbll]

-a renamed feather that the player put INTO loot places? Other players can take it and get points depending on how much time has passed while it has been stored in the loot - a cake for hunger

[@skyellama8374]

swift sneak 1 + curse of vanishing leather pants? low durability bane of arthropods sword? (For spider part of caves) Splash potion of turtle master to slow/stun a ravager for a few seconds low durability fishing rod (chance to get food from cave water) Lockpick item that is cheaper than a frost shard but only has a 50% chance of opening the door Low durability respiration + curse of vanishing leather hat for the deep dive Puzzle clues / treasure maps Tango's Tips and Tricks (book / basic survival guide for early decked out levels) Those are a few ideas off the top of my head. I do miss the artifact boards from DO 1 because they were a major part of the game and provided a lot of cool item ideas. I still don't know why Tango removed them. Very sad.

[@beesbrownies]

ooh that's good

[@pietah1340]

​@@skyellama8374 The fishing rod would most likely be used in many other ways (hooking items [for example negating the need for jump boost in some places], hooking mobs [like hooking wardens in level 3 to make them fall to the bottom floor, hooking wardens doesn't make them angry] or activating pressure plates [if Tango decides to use them for something], YOU CAN ALSO HOOK EXPLODING TNT). The chance of it appearing in shop would have to be very low or it would have to be made into a rare card that grants it at the start of the run (maybe awarded after doing a quest). You could specify you can only fish with it (and maybe do something else?) but there will always be the urge to do something else with it (You might remember that 1 treasure dispenser that Tango didn't cover with glow lichen thinking that some Hermits could break it, because "It's not a real block").

[@Zeldrake]

"and we were like 'that's a future Tango problem!' And now, I'm future Tango" - words to live by

[@Dinner_Roll]

Shop Idea: Frozen Shard Cluster, a (potentially) multi use key that has a chance to break every time it's used. Could be guaranteed to work at least once, or for more fun it could have a chance to not work at all!

[@agent9830]

Some shop ideas (trying to come up with some unique ones that other people haven’t said): Clues - Clues would be vague hints to some of the secret areas hidden across Decked Out. They could also be used to help hermits find locations where loot (coins, crowns, keys, etc) frequently drop. Exit Compasses - These are fairly self explanatory, a Exit Compass would simply point towards the exit of its corresponding level of Decked Out. The purpose of the Exit Compasses would be to help hermits find the exit if it’s their first time on a level or would help the hermit get their bearings if they’ve visited the level before. Splash Potion of Swiftness - Could be used to increase your speed in an emergency to escape a Ravager or accidentally help them catch up Also going to throw in some card ideas just for fun: Never Punished - When you fail a dungeon run, you have a 25% chance of getting your key back. Dragon’s Greed - This card is drawn when the game starts - Frost Embers can’t drop this game but coins/crowns have x2 or x3 the change of dropping (might take some testing to figure out which is balanced) Gambler’s Key - This card is drawn when the game starts - When this card is drawn there is a 50/50 chance this card generates X amount of clank or triggers the treasure and frost ember lines

[@akivajacobs7090]

The Exit Compass is a really good idea I haven't seen mentioned before!

[@pixelmaster145]

I really like the never punished idea, but it feels a little overpowered, it would have to be a rare chance

[@tmidfire]

Another card idea or something would be gaining access to depth strider boots for the cave diving, or Respiration maybe. Perhaps unlocking a conduit

[@Tiggs153]

+1 on Exit compass! Great for the beginning or hermits starting later to help them learn

[@ginsbene808]

Ok wow literally all of those ideas are amazing, I hope Tango sees this!

[@malcolmw121]

Here's a thought: Instead of a generic food item, let the players buy Honey bottles. Then; allow them to stash that honey bottle somewhere INSIDE the dungeon if they so choose: They could save it to use it on a later run, or it could get scooped up by another curious player, so there's some risk/reward attached to it, as well as potential value for digging through the dungeon's chests and barrels.

[@ninjireal]

thats good

[@shad0wninja245]

Tango, to match the runes on the entrance door, you should add massive bone structures and carvings to level four. Maybe a skull or two or something that makes it look ancient. Like before the time of the wardens or whatever. I think that would be really interesting and add another level of storytelling to decked out.

[@ptacraftgamer7528]

There is a new feature in 1.20 that could be useful in decked out, if you place a mob head on top of a noteblock it will play that mob sound, but, if you place a player head you can set a custom sound (via commands but there is probably a datapack for it), this way you can play custom sound more easier than using a jukebox and disks, it could be useful in the shop for example, to change the noteblock sound to something custom

[@whorlingwisteria]

this! If the data packs work out, it would be so much more compact

[@lolli_popples]

I am so excited to see the other Hermits’ reaction to the door when they play the game for the first time oh my god.

[@Bonfree24]

Facts, I’ll be wanting a compilation

[@MJDENTON]

Holy. Dang. I'm so glad this season has gone on long enough to let you (and the other hermits!) really breath creatively. This is amazing. Almost as impressive as Bdubs perfect redstone!

[@MCEvans66]

The door sequence has very strong Stargate vibes.

[@aimpharos]

I heard the idea for the new entrance keys being frozen shards and I thought what if they were switched around? Like the entrance remains the typical decked out key design and then each level gets their own personalised key, with level 1 being the frozen shard, level 2 could be some ancient relic, level 3 could be an access card to the boom boom machine etc. I think it'd add even more personality to each of the levels and it distinguishes every sort of "key" item too!

[@mymanager3662]

This! Level four could then be a tnt item, so it feels like you are blowing up the door yourself

[@thecatfenix7907]

Might be a bit hard to implement, though I do agree that I think that would be an amazing thing to

[@toshiscool]

Ideas for the shop: Invisibility potion - This decreases the range of detection for the Ravagers and the Evokers Lingering Jump Boost potion - Just like the actual effect, however its shorter and on-demand Decked Out Hood - doesn’t give them anything useful, however they can have a commemorative hood like the one you wear Extra Key - Very useful, perhaps the most expensive item, but it automatically gives you a key to enter the next level of the dungeon. Allows for deeper dives. Totem of Undying - Obvious what this does Snowball - Distracts Wardens from where you are Fire Resistance Potion - Good for places where lava is involved like the start of level 2 Decked Out mini-crown - Just like the hood, its a decorative thing, the most expensive item. Maybe its a smaller version of whatever the winner gets.

[@Kronkk37]

The idea to add a small number of cosmetics (set to appear at the lowest possible interval) would be amazing! They could be unique per wave of DO2 to weaponize player FOMO ;-)

[@steffenaarsnes8066]

Potion of water breathing too, so they wouldn't have to waste 10 runs on learning their way to that one chest. ;)

[@Shoeboy06]

Splash Slowness would work to slow down ravagers

[@chaaanchaaan1920]

Well maybe not the extra key, ‘cause everyone is going to buy it even if it’s expensive.

[@JulianSloman]

Rare cosmetic? someone has it out for Doc :D

[@Tregratinator]

Absolutely love the door, called a friend to show it off, so cool! In terms of items, I think these would be interesting! > Snowballs (to either push Ravagers or draw Warden aggro away from yourself - not eggs as the baby chicks could be problems) > Splash Potion of Turtle Master (Resistence would be very helpful but the Slowness will really hurt in needing to make a getaway - pros/cons) > Either Spider-Eyes, Rotten Flesh or Suspicious Stews (Each random but with higher likelihood of being bad) > An Ethereal card that once the Fourth Floor is opened, gives the player a limited speed boost (called Hasty Getaway) > A Deadly Discount (The Players place their head in the dungeon somewhere, and if it exists at the end of the week or whenever you divvy prizes they get X rewards, however if another player finds the first player’s skull, the other player gets Y rewards) > A Soul Torch (With the loot in the dungeon being retextured items, why not try to make a craft able bonus with them? If Soul Shards are a retextured Iron Nuggets, place crafting tables in various areas of the dungeon and have the soul embers [iron nuggets] with a soul torch or another retextured item and add the ability for players to craft in the dungeon. This puts them in a place where they can’t tell danger around them, but if they escape with the Soul Lantern or other items that may/ may not be craftae, they gain either Crowns or a Wild Card (tradable for one card upon exit) Last idea was pretty complex but I love this so far and can’t wait to see it keep progressing!!

[@ooohsnap7578]

The Deadly Discount is a brilliant idea

[@kevinlampe5411]

I think that it would be cool to call the keys for entrance "Frozen Hearts" or maybe "Forgotten Souls", then entering the dungeon would be like feeding decked out a soul as payment for entry. Keep up the awesome work Tango!

[@SonsOfSauron]

Snowballs in the crown shop could be interesting for players going deep into the dungeon as a way to help distract wardens.

[@amdkillaplays]

They probably won't help if they are fully aggro on you. Just another reason to avoid being there too long

[@aud9931]

In the shop it would be interesting to sell like, a ‘machine part’ that turned on one of the drills in the black mine, which makes a lot of noise for a short amount of time to distract the wardens

[@tamasdukan1495]

I think you should definitely put a sensor inside the door to close it, otherwise i can just see this happen: Wow guys! That was amazing! What a cool entrance! It made my hearth pound a little. I wonder how did he do the... ~door closes~ What? No! ... no no no no no no no ... NOOOOOOOOO! Some throwaway ideas for the shop: -quest items or even some quest themselves (this way you can keep it open for more content, by adding any kind of quest later) -bonds (invest, and gain interest later) -maps, for the less spacially inclined -gamble chip (throw it in a container in another room and get something, or not) -VP camouflage (for a time people can't see how much victory point the buyer have, which can be a worthy investment close to the end of a stage) -time slots (for busy people, who want to make sure noone is playing at a certain time) Had to edit it because i unintentionally added some effect to my comment...

[@labadf]

That door was insanely detailed for a Minecraft "mini-"game. Wow. I really like how you all have embraced customizing Minecraft using datapacks, textures, sounds... It shows that the games that allow their players to show creativity can indeed be very fun and engaging. And since your rules don't affect other servers those custom changes are not causing damage to anyone's playstyle, and instead bring a lot of variety to the experiences you can create.

[@hyruleprince8105]

Every time Tango uploads, I'm again reminded how absolutely incredibly he is! The original dungeon door was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in Minecraft. Then came the HUD. I thought wow. Thats the peek of Decked Out Redstone! How could anything beat it? But nope!!! This door with the incredible rune animation and beautiful sound effects again pushes the boundaries of 'vanilla' minecraft! AMAZING WORK!

Totally agreed. Also, you could say they are playing vanilla plus Minecraft 👍

[@fabcm1]

[@instantramen2378]

Tango really is an "incredibly" guy

[@ForesSaxe]

You could sell a firework with a long fuse or a music disk as ways to distract the warden. Some stealth items could be frost walker boots for magma areas, or an invisibility effect arrow and bow to gain stealth at the cost of health. There could also be an "Potion Token" that an experienced player could use to get through the starting floors faster, the token would be used at a booth before the start of a run to get 30 seconds to 1 min of helpful effects, you could also mix blindness into the effects to make sure the player was familiar enough with the dungeon to handle the potion's power.

[@sgoldendragon3603]

I think you should sell buckets in the shop. Fish randomly spawn in the dungeon it looks like, so maybe have a special challenge that only happens every so often where you have to enter the dungeon with a bucket, retrieve a fish, and if you bring it back out while the challenge is still going, you get something special like a short-duration potion of water breathing or something for the diving section and the lake and stuff. In general I can see it being amusing for players to be scrambling for their lives and abruptly being distracted by colorful fish while having tridents chucked at their faces and so forth.

[@maxnoorda]

Tango an idea for the shop is maybe to sell quests there. You wanted the quests first distirubated by the statue of level 1, but the keyhole for the door is over there now. Maybe you can buy quests in the crownshop for extra embers at the end of your run, like you can get the pirate quest for the pirate captain there, the miners quest, the dualing cript families quest. I think that would be amazing!💛🤟

[@5ivecats836]

Adding snowballs to the shop would be cool to distract the wardens!

[@candledapple]

One thing that may be confusing to players is that "frozen shard" is pretty similar to "frost ember", even something as simple as changing the "frozen" to something that doesn't start with an F would probably be enough to help players easily remember the difference!

[@amaryllis0]

Here are some of my item ideas c: 1. a geocache type item like an armor stand which a player can buy, rename to "Player-DateTime" and hide in the dungeon somewhere. If another player finds and breaks it, they can return it somewhere for a reward, and the original player gets a reward based on how long it took to be found. Luckily they fixed name preservation on placing/breaking armor stands in 1.19.4 so this should be possible! 2. a sign that players can take and place in the dungeon to leave messages, Souls-like. 3. suspicious stew, but it's random and unlabelled so the player has no idea what effect it will be until they eat it 4. being able to buy rotten flesh as a risky emergency food source 5. mystery item that seems to be useless but actually is a key to a secret area, like the secret cow level 6. splash/lingering potions of slowness that could be used against the baddies - or accidenttly catch yourself in it

[@thuggishcupid7093]

Love this

[@nbvehbectw5640]

Interesting how the first one is literally the idea I had. Probably because Tango was working with armor stands a lot in this episode.

[@broswhite]

Like all of your ideas, but instead of rotten flesh maybe he puts a few bonemeal to be used on berry bushes in the dungeon for food.

[@chastermief839]

the dark souls sign idea is fantastic. i also like the idea of the "useless" item, feels very reminiscent of old school adventure games.

[@grapesandsand3816]

i like the soulslike sign idea, i would love to see hermits behold very large, gray, angry dogs, or leave other silly messages around

Door looks amazingly beautiful! I think the keys are beautiful on their own, however I think they are a bit uncanny in Minecraft. Maybe try to get them a bit “blockier”, could look up itens in Minecraft Dungeons and Legends for inspiration

[@metetong2065]

same opinion

[@starbeam7679]

I think a sprite would work better than a 3d model. Maybe it's just me, but I think it would look better if it looked like it belonged in minecraft.

[@BertrandDunogier]

I wanted to say that. I agree :)

[@ginsbene808]

Yeah I was getting some Wynncraft vibes from the key and idk if this is or is not what he is going for

[@judem.2333]

Snowball(4pack): for distracting wardens and stunning Ravengers (but theirs that Evoker in the lava I'm not sure if their safe from being nocked into lava) Leather boots: to walk on powder snow, maybe add a powder snow elevator to "secret" Leather chest piece to increase survivability but not as well as the iron armour card. plus you can dye leather to a nice teal, black or blue. and give them titles like 99% Ravenger proof vest. Suspicious stew (add rule for only taking one in) they are a good potion substitute and can give fire resistance, nightvision and jump boost or some other negative effect. maybe have it so they know the positive effect but their is a 30% chance of it being a negative effect instead. they are a good sudo potion with a bit of risk but life saving quality's if they fall in lava, or want to attempt a shortcut.

[@rensiknosaj]

use Leather for the outfit, apply dyes until you get a darker blue color and then apply the trim.

Simply awesome door. Ideas for shop: - Nametags for ravengers and wardens - Snowballs - Shields (very rare and beaten up) - Water breathing potion - Fire resist potion - Invisibility potion - Speed potion - Keys (Key for level 1, level 2, "Master Key", etc) - Gigapie? (Some food in general, would be a nice touch to be 'Hermitcraft' food products) (Running through a dungeon with a Scarland churro would be funny)

[@Dra3oon]

Im sure he has thought of all of these lol good suggestions nonetheless

[@LostOperative]

Water breathing potion would let someone get the full layout of the deep dive without risking their entire run, could want something like that enabled periodically if nobody's daring enough to dive. Would make the dive more accessible to less skillful players, as such should probably be a bit expensive and very rare.

[@mozeytown]

Especially if the waterbreathing potion is splash or lingering, with a short duration

[@mr.lazyness4926]

Wow! The door is so impressive, *ITS PERFECT.* The opening sequence of the door is SO GOOD; the door frame lighting up sync with the door mechanism sound, the skull with the blood red circle around it, and the sound when the skull appears really builds up the tension. The instantaneous disappearance of the door and the sound of fire, air, and the echo after that is so ominous, it feels like I'm about to enter a cursed dungeon where death awaits me.

[@coleagnew691]

A few suggestions for possible items to sell: Make extra crystals buyable or something so there is a chance for you to be able to continue even if you don’t have any crystals on you. “Bandaids” aka retextured instant health potions that you can take into the dungeon. “Bandages” aka retextured splash potions of instant health that you can take into the dungeon. “Med-kit” aka retextured Instant health 2 potion (that again you can take into the dungeon. “Antibiotics” aka retextured regeneration potions. “Coffee” aka retextured speed potion “Double espresso” aka retextured speed 2 potion “Tylenol” aka retextured resistance potion --- “Thief’s pants” aka leather leggings with swift sneak 1 on them “Padded shirt” aka leather chest plate with protection 1 on it “Sweet kicks” leather boots “Skater cap” leather helmet. “Butter knife” a wooden sword. “Wooden board of protection” a shield (really expensive) “Boxing glove” a retextured wooden hoe --- Another idea I had is a special purchase area with a slightly different mechanic. The item there is totally randomized and isn’t one set item and different items will still appear more frequently than others but the items are always the same price. So it will be luck of the draw, and the thing is you don’t know what the item is. It is completely random. You might spend more there to get a item then it goes for in the normal area or you could get lucky and get something that is more expensive in the normal area.

[@thomasbecker9676]

[@goldenandesite]

I’d say a white or light blue trim (iron/quartz/diamond) would fit better, as well as using a darker armor (netherite/dyed leather) to try to match the color of your hood.

[@MCPhssthpok]

I was going to suggest dyed leather but the brown patches that look like you've been kneeling in chocolate would probably spoil the effect

[@robertprije8078]

[@luistestart135]

The Shop could sell Decked out T shirts, wich are very worn out armor (or just gold armour) that won't really protect the wearer and will be allowed either inside the dungeon for selfies with the ravagers or even just outside the dungeon to show appreciation for the game! :D of course these T shirts would need to have a custom look xD You could sell splash weakness potions, since they won't harm the ravagers nor the wardens, yet they might come in clutch once every so often. You could sell golden keys; they provide 50% more treasure, but will always be set to maximum difficulty and maximum hazard from the very start. You could also sell snowballs to distract the wardens! maybe even chicken eggs! They will distract the warden, and occasionally spawn chickens, wich will first of all be very funny, and secondly will also distract the warden!! Could be troublesome for the first levels And lastly you could sell flash rounds!! Sett up a stasis chamber with a five minute timer. If somebody plays using a flashround key, they'll be teleported back after 5 minutes!! What a way to get back safely

[@Cykotiq]

I could've never imagined THAT when you showed the armor stand trick. I was expecting a couple guards with crossed swords that would uncross to let you through

[@TheAlmightyfoon]

I would talk to Gem about hermit heads. She has a ... collection of them? Yeah collections a nice word.

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

I am left in utter awe at the sheer scale, design, and epicness of Decked Out 2. The entry alone is MILES above the first one. The attention to detail, the constant striving to make a DOOR that seems impossible in Minecraft. It’s just insane. This whole project. Insane. And I’ve loved seeing every minute of it’s construction (and am very excited to see all the play throughs of it).

[@firescore]

Hey Tango! I was wondering if you could possibly make the Deep Dive have a randomly generated path. You could do this by randomly closing off certain passages, allowing even experienced players to have a chance to get lost. If the water doesn't return to source blocks after the pistons are moved, you could always reveal a dispenser that allows the water to refill to it's original state.

[@BlueTornado272]

That door is so nuts! Really feels like a special event to get to run the dungeon

[@AethirMordu]

That door is some top tier Stargate stuff

[@dragonridertechnologies]

I am infinitely amazed by this door. That's completely insane. It took me several re-watches to hear the pistons moving, and the visuals and sounds had me questioning whether you cheated and had command blocks enabled when the door just vanished. Absolutely top-tier work on this. I can't wait to see the players' reactions to this insane design. Also, seeing some of the other comments, you may want to use a "Lost Heart" as the entrance key. This would avoid the alliteration issue with the Frost Embers and play well with the heartbeat and the fact that you're waking up or resurrecting the dungeon. It also sounds a bit creepy, which I'm sure would also help the ambience. My other suggestion is a "Citadel Core."

[@I_am_a_rat_fr_fr]

You could make your own TCG room in your castle Tango or even some mini games for players waiting on other players to finish playing/for Decked out to finish resetting.

[@yoti2155]

I believe that if you use the trim from the Deep Dark, you can get the main colour to be the dark blue of lapis. Put that on gold or iron armour and it won't be the strongest in the world, but it'll look how you want.

[@Lew98765]

You can select the color that you want for any trim.. its basicaly armor color + armor trim color which uses the different ores (iron redstone diamond lapis emerald and amethyst)

[@yoti2155]

@@Lew98765 Yes, but there's no lapis armour. In order to get the primary colour to be the darker blue of lapis, as TT mentioned, you have to use that one. All the rest are just highlights.

Door is incredible! Items to consider for the shop should be splash or lingering potions of turtle master, and maybe bone meal to use on berry bushes? I do think the shard model is too busy though. It has so many vertices it looks out of place in the game, and something more like an echo or amethyst shard would look better.

[@Drahjan_TheoryBREAK]

You should find the Silence Armor Trim. I believe that you can use Lapis Lazuli. But the Silence Trim will make the material you use be the dominant color, which looks amazing!

16:16 ". . . May or may not BEE" Hehehe. Also, just a idea you can decide to use. A light indication for whether the stat screen is working (your camera account may have been logged out in a server reset), turning on when the stat screen is unavailable due to said reason above. A simple pressure plate hooked up to a light would to the job. Anyway, thanks for listening

[@Spkr4theDead]

I believe False intended for the trims to be a community resource. If you find trims that are missing, you can add them to the collection

[@tactician_jack9560]

Ideas for the shop: - Egg. Throwing it can distract the wardens, and if a chicken comes out then that's even more distraction - Leather boots-- maybe a bit late in the process for this, but you could add powder snow shortcuts or little niches with extra treasure that can only be traversed with leather boots. - A music disc. Set up a jukebox somewhere on level 3 (in the area with the beds?), to draw the wardens there and away from the player. The shortest one is 11, at about 90 seconds, and would add good ambiance. - Book. Easter egg where there's a chiseled bookshelf hidden somewhere in the dungeon, and if you put the book in the right slot, it'll trigger something? You can have a hopped right below the chiseled bookshelf, so they only get one try. You could even set this up to change each time someone gets it right, probably.

[@jaquelinehenner7982]

Door idea: Have two armorstand knight statues doing a bow or kneel animation with the door opening

[@CleanUpNick]

YES, that was what i was thinking, having some sort of statues move, maybe even light blue fires above their heads as they do it

[@filzcraft]

Item Idea: You can sale decoys for the warden. Like an item you can put in a designated place to trigger a sound (for like a few sec) to lure the warden.

[@nbvehbectw5640]

Chicken eggs maybe. A chance to spawn a chicken that will distract wardens.

[@davidallen1459]

Maybe even just a snowball; don't those make a sound at the spot where they hit?

I think it would be amazing if there were non decked out related rooms and hallways inside of the castle, going up into the towers. Kind of like a maze wehre people could get lost.

[@TectonicEdge]

Item Suggestion, What about Bucket of Axolotls as an item. You could add some red stone triggers to any area with water that would only be able to be triggered by an Axolotl that could give a buff, open a secret passage, reveal hidden chambers, or do one of any number of things. Maybe have a fish set up to attract the Axolotl onto a pressure plate. You could give all the Axolotls cool names like Crypt Keeper or Ruin Chief.

[@techolas2317]

Shop item: Sabotage card. Use it to make an upcoming card be skipped for another players run. Limit of 1 or 2 sabaotages per run. This could be put at the end of the hall. Where a player who isnt in the run wants to interfere with someones deck. This would mostly be used if one person has a massive lead over the others. While skipping 1 or 2 cards in a deck it may be bad in a small compact deck where every card counts. But would be brutal if the person sabotaging gets lucky and interupts a good card. Theres a few flaws to this design feature. 1) may bring more competitiveness, sometimes competitiveness can hurt a games experience 2)I doubt it would be often where two hermits happen to be at decked out at the same time to actually use the Sabotage card. 3)You might get people trying to time there runs when less people are on. Sorry for the long comment but wanted to explain this idea to the fullest. I hope this suggestion can be a help for you or others to figure out good ideas

[@Zaznin]

After seeing this armor stand technology I'm just envisioning Scar creating some kind of animatronic Hall of Hermits. Also, that door reminds me of some kind of demonic Stargate. As for the shop, what about having one item be some kind of Decked Out merch.? Just a fun little collectable that the Hermits can get a chance to buy and display in their base. Overall, everything looks amazing Tango. Serious kudos for all the awesomeness.

[@ndamicobarbour]

Ideas for shop: - Hints ("Tales tell of a mysterious laboratory in the Caves of Carnage" etc ..) - Mini quests! example: put a hopper under water kittens and sell "Water Kitten Food" and then reward them if they feed em ~ - a snowball, good for distracting wardens later (I think?) - a totem of undying? like uber expensive and rare Edit: more mini quest ideas: - "beast bites" but it's not food it's to feed the baby ravagers and get a reward - "hotguy souvenir" but it's to bring to the ghost of the superintendent of the mines down in your favorite room for a prize - "vial of blood" for the 'secret' ritual room below lvl 1 fun food idea: - raw fish or meat that they have to cook at the campfire near the entrance

[@jadequeenbla7479]

With the new armor stand thing before you decided on the glowing blocks I was totally thinking you could have two armored statues on either side crossing their swords over the entrance. Then by sending a quick sequence of like 10 poses from books (like stopmotion) the armor stand guards could actually be made to move their swords away from the entrance and allow the challenger to pass!

[@ryanb509]

For the shop: I know everyone is going to suggest a mostly broken shield and you're going to say its too much work and I understand that. But what if it's like a limited edition item, where you only have a few available each scoring period. And has only a 1 in 9 chance of being offered each shop cycle. Or perhaps you rig up some contraption to have an armor stand hold a shield, shoot a predetermined number of arrows at it to wear the durability to a set point to make acquiring them easier? Another shop idea, would be a suspicious stew, where when you buy it there's maybe a 2/3 chance you get one with a good effect, but a 1/3 chance you get one with a negative affect. Because AFAIK you can't tell the effect without consuming it, unless you change the name or something.

I love all of the creativity you are putting into entering the dungeon of decked out, like the doors and the minecart ride, but just be aware that it may get tedious to go through the sequence (however beautiful) every time.

i was thinking the same thing, its really cool and they will defiantly like it the first few times but if there trying to play multiple rounds at once or after a while i think it might get annoying because you have to wait for the dungon to reset then the door opening then a mine cart ride then another door before you can start playing. i might just be impatient though.

[@decomposedcorpse5186]

@@pinkpixie8686 I completely disagree. First of all, the hermits are the epitome of patient. Second of all, the experience of Decked Out isn't supposed to be rushed in the first place. The hermits are not gonna try to speedrun the game, where they try to play again as soon as they finish. They have the ability to wait a couple of seconds. Besides, the alternative is literally to take the whole thing down. Is that what you're suggesting is better than waiting a couple of seconds? Might as well make a command block that teleports them directly into the game so they don't waste their precious time waiting for the game to begin.

@@decomposedcorpse5186 I don’t think pinkpixie was insulting tango’s work. They are just trying to point out the fact that the intro sequence into Decked Out may get a little tiresome, especially considering how some hermits like Etho probably played Decked Out hundreds of times in s7.
