Been getting lots of comments about my Shaders, Resource Pack, Mods, etc. so I made a video for all you fine people! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m52Zkop8pL5_rpYsi=YGvrOXYlkp-bojvM

[@That_OneGuy46]

They should definitely add a [GUARANTEED TO SPAWN] structure with swamp villagers acting as a villager prison. Once you've killed all the witches you can release the imprisoned villagers back into the village, instead of needing to transport them over. + Having wandering trades be more likely to spawn at taverns, along with better trades.

hey there, creator of dungeons and taverns. The desert ruin not being exiting was due to the entire desert temple in the center being buried as I wanted to surprise player with an fake desert temple. I'll actually put the entire thing above ground next update lmao. the Illager Hideout actually did base as framework for the DnT Stronghold overhaul (separate data pack from DnT). like there are 5 more DnT related data packs with structure overhauls that actually replace vanilla structures each really fun video showcasing the datapack though! 👍

[@RePorpoised]

Haha yeah, I could tell he hadn’t explored it fully cuz I saw your posts on twitter so I just know just how massive that structure really is.

Hey that’s awesome! When I end up exploring this pack via Survival I’ll make sure not to sleep on the Desert Ruins next time haha Glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for making the pack!

[@polywally24]

Great mod/data pack, I'll definitely be using it in future worlds! One thing though, I noticed in the piglin camps, their using regular campfires when I believe a soul campfire would better suit the structure. Otherwise, great work!

[@novaember9990]

@@polywally24 piglins are scared of soulfire. Why would their camp.have soulfire? It makes them run away lol

[@avandorhu-3389]

Gonna be interesting to see. Had one of the desert ruins spawn on a desert island right next to spawn. Took me several IRL days to excavate fully

[@switchgeer6519]

Honestly, i think it'd be fun to just have singular houses occasionally scattered about in a world. regular ones would have 1 to 4 villagers, and there would be a chance the house would be abandoned like the zombie villages that the base game has. I also think a black burnt wood would be cool, and that village structures had a small chance spawning burnt.

[@luis-sophus-8227]

Way too alive

[@gardenerguy2.065]

Think it would be better if those types of house were generated nearby villages and not just at random in the world. Villagers don't feel like the type to make a singular house far away from a settlment. Wandering traders however, would make more sense. On a smaller scale of course.

[@thelonestar_0336]

You gave me a nice idea

[@carterkingsley2497]

also, if the villager farms were actually full fields

[@Sp1Tz_2nd]

I would've love seeing an "End Citadel" or just any different structure in the End dimension

[@lasercraft32]

Exploring to find structures which have maps to lead you to MORE structures is such a neat gameplay loop, basically expanding on the concept of maps found in shipwrecks in vanilla.

[@australianpotato561]

I think the pillager hideouts NEED to be in the game, they work so well along with the mansions and I think its even an upgrade. With much better loot then a mansion it just makes so much sense!

[@gardenerguy2.065]

Illager mining outposts would be better in my opinion.

[@kyu9148]

I love how all these structures give such a minecraft dungeons themed vibe

[@3NTR4PT4]

Friendly witches sound REALLY COOL THOUGH. like imagine a different trading/bartering system where u can pay them to brew potions and its twice as fast or something, like a blaze powder-less brewing option. Imagine curing witches like zombie villagers or making a special healing concoction that can bring them back from Pillagerization or something, idk

[@JacobKasza]

Jesus Christ this stuff would fit perfectly into vanilla mc, the fact that one guy can make all this but mojang can barely shit out an update every year continues to baffle me

[@LLLadySSS]

Gotta keep people employed 🤪

[@titanic_monarch796]

Microsoft are basically putting a stranglehold apparently because they don't want to lose the feel of the game (to be fair the community complains about this all the time). Like. Every change has to be vetted and approved which colossaly slows down development

[@SoloLEVELR]

@@titanic_monarch796yeah but it’s Minecraft, not like u can’t just play an omder version 😂

[@SoloLEVELR]

Bro swear mc developers are FUMBLING. They should add new maps, new portals, new items, new biomes, new hostile mobs, new buildings etc. Yet what do we actually get? Every few years we get to pick between a glowing squid or a damn frog that doesn’t even drop anything 😂

[@titanic_monarch796]

@@SoloLEVELRWell, you want more content, and microsoft wants to make more money, so they've developed this conservative style that stifles the devs from having proper freedom while still pushing them to make changes

5:05 yeah it was hard to track down my world's desert ruins from a map i found at a tavern. mine was only a mere 68k blocks away... thank goodness for the /locate structure command

[@jerrettneandermeier9091]

I suggest checking out some of the data packs made by Whimzee on youtube, like the jungle “update” or pillager “update” the structures definitely feel slightly less vanilla but still minecraft-like and i bet it’d add yet another dimension to the exploration if you were to do a survival world with this data pack (P.S. I’m not sure how much the creator cares about other creators using the data packs, if they care at all, or how well the data packs would work together with all of the different structures spawning in, but it’d make for a really freaking cool series to just conquer all of the different types of structures and dungeons and beat all of the bosses those datapacks add. ) Great video mate I’m loving the MC channel so far !

[@thedoctor1466]

If Minecraft actually took inspiration from the community, the game would come back up instead of making 9 year olds cry when the new update doesn’t work the first time. This mod is going to be the next thing I install.

[@Ajryen]

My one structure that I would love to see in minecraft would be a villager city/kingdom. This pack almost hits that same cord with the amount of stuff it has. I'd just love to be exploring some distant lands one day and on the horizon I'd see a castle, walls, and tons of houses.

[@novaember9990]

Bit big for minecraft to make entire towns since you only can have structures in an 256x256x256 area but im working on an ruined villager/stray/breeze citadel that is heavily based on minecraft dungeons lone fort

[@vinceheins]

@@novaember9990is it maybe possible to daisy chain structure blocks? To artificially get around that limit

[@may0nnaisecake]

i really appreciate the integrated subtitles, it helps so so so much!

[@australianpotato561]

I definitely feel like mojang could break up some of the menotomy of the game with some of these cool changes and also little things like fallen trees, bushes, more variety of trees within a forest, signs of life been and gone and there and maybe even signs of disasters such as tornados and broken up ground as signs of an earthquake, just to get the player to Imagine and make their world more part of them. Just some thoughts

I love that most of these are taking from minecraft dungeons, I always loved the things they did in that game and wished they'd add it to vanilla minecraft

[@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop]

Yeah.. with how amazing this stuff is made by much smaller teams, I’m really starting to think Mojang is lazy. And uncaring for what the minecraft community genuinely wants. This stuff is incredible.

[@Adewayy]

If you actually took time to read a tweet made by one of the most famous Minecraft devs then you would know that the process to make an official update takes an enormous amount of time. That and you don't know how much time it took for this data pack to be made.

[@finboror]

The most likely reason Mojang is so slow is because having too many cooks spoils the broth. A solo developer or a small team could be just "hey wouldn't it be cool if we added this?" and then just go ahead and do it in a week or two. However, in Mojang and other big studios, it's like Creative director or a game designer has an idea → game designers debate whether it's even a good idea that fits in the game → concept artists draw their visions on the feature → programmer codes the first iteration of the feature → creative director checks it out and gives feedback → repeat the whole chain until the vision is realised and the feature is fun enough Not to mention all of the needless bureaucracy and the fact that you have to work with the bedrock developers too at the same time. They're probably not lazy, just that their system is inefficient and incredibly convoluted.

[@Adewayy]

@@finboror yep, kingbdogz kinda confirmed what you said. Not to mention that collaboration between programmers makes the work load easier but they have to all come together and make sure the code is readable by everyone.

[@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop]

@@Adewayy dude.. it doesn't take a scientist to realise these fan made data packs have taken a significantly shorter amount of time, made by significantly less people, so much sooner than 3 years. im not ignoring the fact that it takes longer cause they're a bigger company who have to do things in a more professional manner either though.

[@Adewayy]

@@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop it also doesn't take a scientist to realize that the process for making an update for company made games take substantially more time. Much of the staff at Mojang are literally ex-minecraft mod developers. And again, look at the tweet made by kindbdogz made on the subject. Don't criticize Mojang for being lazy, especially if you aren't a developer yourself.

Acctually! The Undead Crypt is often found on the surface (it has an entrance) and while mining underground. I found many of them in many different worlds.

Sometimes I play these crazy modpacks like dungeons dragons and space shuttles and they have HUNDREDS of structures/biomes. You can roam for hours and never see the same thing twice, it’s so fun

[@amostlynottoxicdude8002]

A lot of people say that mojang cant update the game to be like this because itll lose the original minecraft feel, and they if they’re right, mojang is severely mistaken. This modpack feels more minecrafty than any of than what Minecraft is right now. These are the features 10 year old me would’ve thought the next updates were gonna have. And it doesn’t even add any new blocks or items, just using the ones we already have and creating something new.
