Jeb did design a Trial Chamber a long time ago. It’s called a Dungeon and it is basically a single Cobblestone box with a spawner and a pair of loot chests… What passed for a structure and a “combat challenge” back then is way way different than today.

I know that this was just a small little comment at the end, but I actually agree with the 'big lifeless structures' segment! I see too many minecraft youtubers say that they're 'improving your base' or 'improving current structures' by just... making them bigger- I don't see the point, really. Like yeah, big monoliths are cool and all... but it kind of defeats the whole statement "less is more".

I enjoy making things work on older operating systems or hardware than they should. Backporting trial chambers has that vibe, love this.

Considering that strong holds are a core game element, as they take you to the end of the game, they really do need a remodel.

I have a chest full of Redstone blocks and a chest full of lapis.... But they barely get touched. I don't use either one for anything. I get my enchantments from looting books, fishing and trading. My enchanting table barely gets used anymore tbh

@@toycat does it matter though?

[@CardenDioxide]

[@valkeakirahvi]

Also: top slabs weren't added until 1.2! Before that you could only put slabs on the bottom half of the block or to make a full block

[@captainjames4649]

this gives me nostalgia for minecraft super hostile maps, good job

[@Scoutus]

Just to let you know, from my series where I play in old versions, half slabs can only be placed on the bottom half (besides the double stacked one). And I noticed some slabs that were placed on the top half.

[@nikothefoxYT]

The number one reason I love the 1.21 update, is that it added GAMBLING.

[@gnilogaming]

You should have replaced the roof with a layer of two stone slabs so it would have matched the design better

[@James_skywalker]

This is cool. I would like to see other what of videos of what if different structures were made in different updates

[@NotTheDragon837]

Just one small thing. Back then slabs couldn't be placed solely on the top half of a block space. they had to be on the bottom half first. so you couldn't have had those brick slabs on the top half.

[@valkeakirahvi]

Glad to see someone pointed this out :D

[@Ethaniel1999]

This is exactly why I think Mojang should hold off on adding new building blocks for a few updates. There's so many new blocks in the game these days, it almost feels out of place that the new structures are exclusively new blocks.

[@uoooh]

IMO: Stone slabs Your build doesn't use slabs enough and I feel like with Mojang's previous attempts towards making areas distinct, I think they would've made a structure that used slabs a ton, which makes sense for this giant underground labyrinth with no greenery. I would've replaced the lights on the walls with little "windows", only some of which would contain glowstone. I know that breaks the rule of "Don't have stuff from the other dimension" but this feels like a good way of foreshadowing that block earlier by using it in this really rare structure.

[@Myne1001]

Not to mention upside down slabs (added in 1.2 in February 2012)

[@theopoldthegamer4284]

Hay toycat, are you gonna talk about the pdb files being removed and the impact this has on bedrock servers and moding?

Its cool. Im not pressed about the lapis as op its just hideous. So any other floor might be better

[@EX-MartialEmpress9]

I'd love to see this done with other big structures in the game, and imagine what they'd look like downgraded to older blocks. Structures like Ocean Monuments, Bastions and End Cities/Ships would be really cool to see reimagined with a much older block palette.

12:20 no damnit there's one more

i think instead of using lapis you can forgoe the entire blue look and maybe just use wood planks

I feel like he genuinely should have just used cyan or blue wool. Desert temples used to use orange and blue wool before being replaced with terracotta in a later update, i dont see why this had to use lapis.

[@kaylaa2204]

I still think they wouldn’t have done lapis in a structure in such large amounts, because firstly they planned to do more with it they just didn’t know what And also even then, and still today amongst the old school Minecraft community, lapis has value as a status symbol. Like when you build with Diamond blocks, except lapis actually looks really good as an accent, given the blocks you have access to.

If you go back in time, the first thing to tell jeb is "DO NOT LET NOTCH SELL MOJANG TO MICROSOFT."

[@radio_marco]

This is how that industry works; You make an innovative cool thing, it grows and becomes too big, you can't manage it yourself anymore (after all you're a simple programmer) so you sell it for in Minecrafts case several millions. So if Notch wouldn't have sell it to Microsoft, he would have sold it to another company, or he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the industry and Minecraft would have collapsed at it's size. So while Microsoft does some _shady praxises_ and weird decisions I think generally it's a good decision. Or to whom should have notch sell Minecraft else?
