It feels refreshing and nice to see a minecraft video that isnt about making a giant mega base or the sole purpose being a 100 day video. yes this was 100 days but its refreshing to see a video that just feels like an older minecraft youtube video. no over the top extreme farms, no giant mega base, no mods, no sped up clips, 10/10 video, it gave me a feeling of nastolgia

[@Gboyy777]

real

[@BabyGhast4]

That is kind of why I stopped watching Minecraft videos. In my opinion, ever since the Aquatic Update, the game has not felt the same. The graphics changing drastically, the simplicity being lost, and the community playing the game becoming (as some people have described KZbin becoming) “Mr.Beastified”. Everything just had to be lightning fast, bright, eye-catching, just kind of insincere-feeling to me. While obviously some people playing the game had always been like this, the community (at least, from what I can remember) used to be more relaxed when engaging in playthroughs. This video is nice, it just feels like a playthrough while someone demonstrates niche inklings of knowledge about game mechanics. It has a level of sincerity that I do not see much with other forms of content like this.

I also think the old netherrack texture is underappreciated, it's not very good don't get me wrong but the visceral, fleshy appearance is so unique and creepy and its a signficantly cooler idea for a texture than just the red kidney beans we have in the modern nether.

I think the new one looks more like stone formed of hardened flesh. I think the old one really completed that hellish look though.

[@cradiculous]

I honestly think the new Netherrack texture looks more like flesh than the old one. The old one always looked really course and scratchy, and kind of sharp overall. Probably fitting for what's supposed to be a form of volcanic rock I guess. I definitely prefer the old texture too.

The zombie pigmen calling in reinforcement zombies is actually something that all humanoid zombies do. They have a chance to call in reinforcements when they take damage, and up until EXTREMELY recently (as in newest snapshot as of November 12 of 2024 for the future people who see this). By extremely recently, I mean they changed it to where most zombies call in reinforcements if the same type, but before it they only called normal zombies.

The crusty pre-biomes nether feels like home.

[@jacky7204]

Last I checked, zombies can't break doors if you place them sideways-- they can only break closed doors, and then only when it's needed for pathfinding, so if "closed" isn't blocking the way, they'll walk past, and if "open" is blocking it, they can't break it. That should open up a few more building opportunities!

[@marlondiriche]

On Minecraft 1.8, I created a superflat world with the "Overworld" preset changing the biome from plains to hell. The world looks like a regular one but with Nether colors, mobs and structures. It's not hard as Nether itself but it's fun, feels like a demon apocalypse

[@BANCLAMOFFICIAL]

I'm totally gonna check this out

a few things i would like to say to help you out big time. . . !. This is post 1.9 so you can craft a shield for fighting blazes, protecting from explosions, arrows, etc. 2. if you grab only 12 Cobblestone from the overworld, you can craft a single furnace, and a brewing stand. A Brewing stand would be very very helpful to make potions such as Regen (ghast tear), Strength(blaze powder), Fire Resistance(magma cream), and also stronger(glowstone) or splash version of this. it makes your nether wart useful, that way ;D With the furnace, you can smelt netherrack into bricks, instead of having to mine it all by hand.(coal blocks are faster too) if you really want ot go all out you can turn that into a Blast furnace with three more smooth stone, and five ingots. 3. if you update to 1.16, it will reset your Entire Nether, as far as I know, so you will have to first go to the overworld then update then go back, and second, the main reason you made this video was to prove you can survive in the old nether. 4. Small request--- as nostalgic as the old netherrack is. . . it hurts my eyes. The newer texture was made for a reason LoL

The new biomes are fine, and fun to explore at first, but I just preferred the old version and had more fun with the old Nether. But, ofc, kinda just my personal preference... Lol. 5. I don't really give a dam whether lol and XD are outdated or not. 😕 Sure, I could type "haha" instead of "Lol", but I've been using it for years now and am just used to it. "XD" is an emoticon and I was typing my comment on my computer. 🤨 😅😂 So, it's faster to right "XD" as the letters are on top of each other, than to right click and scroll through all the emojis. 😅😂 Idk. Also, nostalgia probably factors into my preference of the old Nether, as life was better when I was a kid. Life is kinda lousy as an adult. 🤔 🤷‍♀️

zombie piglins still exist and they are functionally the same as pigmen

@@brontokoli Considering it was going to be called "Bloodstone"......yeah, the flesh and blood look was intentional. It's still better for me because it doesn't induce headaches like the new textures do. When they try to go for bland realism to "fit" in the minecraft mold, it just hurts my brain. I dislike most of the new textures, and their half worked "updated" programmer art. I feel like the new artists came in and cleaned house for a blank canvas.......on an already established IP with a set style. A bit disrespectful ngl. And they didn't even bother adding Better Grass. The ONE thing that needed changed they missed out on. One of the best QoL mods out there, and has been an optifine setting for a long while now. That was disappointing, but they gotta play it safe......so they say while adding the phantoms. The old nether was definitely bland. Being Hell, I don't think there's supposed to be anything but boredom as another form of eternal torment. But it was way more of a blank canvas. Great for building especially with dark/goth themes. It wasn't just for the fortress if you were brave/creative enough. But adding netherite would have been cool if it existed back then. But I will say that the Nether Update was needed for far too long, and it is one of the very few updates worth it's weight. Caves and Cliffs, the Deep Dark, and the Villager update have been the only updates worth it since 1.12.2. 1.13 was a trash update that bricked a lot of worlds thanks to their poor implementation of the newer code overwrite. It wasn't bad, but it was not implemented properly, and that is what the update failed on. A couple of my worlds were left behind thanks to this. But at least they finally got around to doing it, even after they got that Microsoft cash flow. They removed Pigmen. It's all Piglins now. I'm guessing a total of 3 people complained that "Zombie Pigmen" wasn't inclusive enough, and that was enough to change them. Kinda unnecessary as the suffix of Pigmen being "men" was supposed to be all encompassing, meaning like how we say "all of mankind". Lol XD aren't outdated. ROFL, YOLO, and Swag are, as well as many others. You used the keyboard smile [ :) ] , which is hella outdated compared to lol. Pot calling the Kettle black.🙂🙃

⁠@@brontokoli Agreed. I never really saw the old Netherrack as raw human fresh

I used to play survival with nothing in the nether dozens of times in 1.15 when absolutely nobody was doing videos on it and even escaped by raiding several fortresses without a single farm, but it got really monotonous over time when hours of travelling get wiped by being dumped in lava by a ghast. It makes me really appreciate the Nether update that made the dimension more fun and varied.

[@KittyCatMeowMeowTime]

The potential lore here is hilarious. Imagine the denizens of the nether trapping some poor overworlder; gleefully watching them suffer. Only to witness the overworlder manage to escape. Disappointed they begin to search for a new victim when they're previous captive returns almost immediately with the intent to settle and conquer the nether.

Here's a couple tips: 1) Yes, the zombies spawning in the nether are from the Zombie reinforcement mechanic, in fact there are some farms that use this mechanic (Ianxofour has one that you might even be able to build with just wood and iron, though you may have to check on another world). This will give you access to potatoes and carrots, I think. As well as a renewable source of iron. 2) There is a way to stop the door smashers, too. It's a fairly old trick, where Zombies don't know how to smash doors that are already open or in a weird location. So placing your door sideways in your doorway (as if it's already open) and then "closing" it should stop them from breaking it down.

Unless I'm misremembering, if you place a door sideways it should prevent zombies from breaking them with the only downside being a pressure plate would slam the door if your face instead of opening it. Love the vid!

[@ttxxxxxxxxxxxxxxt]

well zombie type mobs have a small chance of spawning reinforcements and bc. of a bug they apear as regular zombies not zombie variants and that caused this zombie to spawn

[@wyntondennis1299]

Your content is pretty innovative for everything you had in the nether. Usually when people make a video I thought it was going to be a mostly talk and little build; switch cut with the camera only to another part from the same build. This was not that at all this was dedication and innovation for what you had. Keep up the good work.

[@lydierayn]

Update the world > Basalt Brewing stand. You basicly have everything. Also the trades of piglins after update and the nether trees. You already have diamonds, so netherite won't be hard to get. Only restriction is "Once you leave the nether to fight the dragon, no turning back, Thusly no sleeping or gathering materials in the overworld. Yknow, just to spice it up 😊
