EDIT : My thoughts on this snapshot – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JSaE0zJDAs
FYI Ive since discovered a couple things:
Infested stone generated in pockets of the grimstone below Y0
Ore shapes/clusters seem to be the same 🙂
@Siddhartha Bhattacharjee It’s probably intentional with the bedrock like texture tho.
@BigPanda98 _YT I know but i just want REALLY big Mountains also you have to smelt grimstone just like regular stone to get grimstone bricks
i played 2w07a myself and i don’t like how every 3rd cave i come accross is completly waterlogged, without airpockets, completly waterlogged, if this makes it into the final update i will look for mods to removed these waterlogged caves.
i dont realy like the new ore textures i think they looked better before
@BigPanda98 _YT I don’t think confusion with Y0 would be a problem. People talk and info is easy to come by, I’m sure any confusion would not last long. As for young players, they will figure it out just like we did
There’s gonna be 4 types of gold ore. Gold Ore, Nether Gold Ore, Gilded Blackstone, and Grimstone Gold Ore.
🥇🏅🏆💰🤑
Yes
@OddOCB draws stuff no you can’t, even without silk touch it drops the whole block its only for decoration
@AreTeeAre just searched it up and there’s a 10% chance for it to drop 2-5 gold nuggets and *the rest* of the time it drops as a block itself
Make it so that grimstone drops regular gold ore blocks
I actually enjoy how they split the ore generation, it’ll probably feel slightly more “realistic” to ore veins and make it quicker to get the specific ore you want.
@Aaron That’s pretty much the whole point. It won’t be one level for everything and be done. Plus it does discourage strip mining as the optimum strategy, which you are still free to do.
@Christopher Dunn Even that wouldn’t be enough. I think the only way minecarts will ever really be useful for mining is if they make individual ores take ages to mine and the veins they generate in much, much larger. Otherwise, you’ll never be spending enough time in one place for building a rail system to be worth it.
@Thijs In my opinion, Diamond ore rarity isnt really OP. Because that is the most likely place for warden to spawn
@V3rzify ! No, having every ore at the bottom and just strip mine there basically ruins the concept of the update.
Why these massive caves filled with mobs if you are just gonna stand at the bottom of it, mining in a straight line in the same way as previous versions?
We didn’t ask for this, but we NEED this
@Thijs eh, I don’t think that this will be a problem. At around -54 you have an area with the largest diamond generation accompanied by lapis and gold generation. No iron or coal, but iron farms are relatively easy to make and coal is just so common on ground that you’ll have a lot of it anyways
Mojang is introducing Dark mode to minecraft.
YES! I can’t imagine playing without the dark UI from vanilla tweaks.
@Fractal_fantasy MC heh. dark vanilla
YAYYYYY
My Youtube: Dark mode
My Discord: Dark mode
My everything else: DARKEST IT CAN BE
idk what happen but eyyyy
The polished grimstone really looks like charred planks. Can’t wait to see what people make out of it!
at first my eyes thought the first state or the grimstone was like dark wood, it really looks that way
Looks like blackstine but bit brightened
I think it looks more like slate
Your right, And I love it!
*burning building*
Seeing diamonds spawn that frequently at the bottom of the world just tells me that it’s gonna be scary as hell down there
Yes
Strip mining gang
Did you see the WadZee Video
@Th3_Ph4ntom Reborn shoot an arrow in one direction, sneak while he goes after the arrow, and while he’s there, block him off and enjoy the diamonds
They mention the deep dark and how dangerous it would be. I get the feeling that grimstone is the deep dark
It really feela like we broke through the bedrock layer. And underneath is a whole new world (hence the stone repleacement in the exact same block where the old bedrock layer used to be)
And not to mention, an otherworldly being has entered through the depths of the void to roam with a blind eye.
@The Senate keep digging bedrock everyone, then maybe we’ll get the world to y=-128
@Даниил Рабинович yuperoin
@Harin Dharmaratne what?
Imagine there was a ‘false’ bedrock layer that could be broken, but it takes around the same as obsidian, cannot be silk touched nor dropped.
I love how emerald generates commonly up high, it gives us an inventive to climb mountains. And now they will hopefully more seanic… I don’t know how to spell that
*incentive
*scenic
There you go
Who tf mine for emerald anyway? Just go to the fletcher and trade sticks.
*scenic
Yeah emeralds might be worth mining for in the beginning instead of only trading
It’s actually spelled “sonic”.
I think Stronghold to Cave ratio needs re-balancing more then just straight up removing cave piercing. It was way too chaotic originally but now its gonna be way too static
@NAME UNKNOWN what they should do is tweak the dungeons
Yes, because if they leave it like that, it will no longer be found unintentionally, and when that happened it felt very good
@Rudra Singh yes
I think that after the Cave & Cliffs update we should be given a new DUNGEON update. Idk why we haven’t gotten one already tbh, Minecraft is the No. 1 best selling game of all time yet we get 1 update every year?
@Captain Coolz — CT-3001 Good updates take a lot of time to make.
Lighting caves is gonna be a pain in the arse
shit that means mobs gon spawn alot in caves
Blackstone: You’re weak
Grimstone: I’m you
Fingers still crossed for ore-themed mineshafts.
Did anyone else get a little scared when they realized how big the mountains are gonna be? Thank for the info X
I’m just glad that I’m in process to building a better computer XD this might make the game a little more laggy
Rare chance for Mount Evercraft Spawn. Reaching to the new build limit XD. One Frack of an Expedition while trivere the snowier snow to avoid hyperthermia.
@Mohammad M.E. If that doesn’t happen I’ll be disappointed
Yeah scared if I’ll be able to carve one to make a castle
@Mohammad M.E. I really hope we get some biome specific ambient sounds for caves and mountains like we did for oceans and the Nether biomes, I’m really hoping we get more cave sounds, knowing how deep Mojang goes with details I have high hopes that we will
Grimstone is how they could possibly solve the Bedrock issue with older worlds.
They could have all previous bedrock from their usual y-levels replaced with stone and grimstone, and then just have new generation underneath that layer.
@Snailtan You guys are missing something though. It’s a whole new generation system. Old chunks won’t go down that far no matter what, and if it did it would look super weird as you would get “chunk borders” except on the Y-axis around zero. It would look super weird. A sub-issue is that at the border of a new chunk and old chunk, you would see the void as the Y level of old and new bedrock wouldn’t match. The only way to stop players going underneath old chunks would be a bedrock wall, or a new non-mineable resource as a wall which would be deep within the walls of caves ideally so you don’t ever see exposed walls in your cave.
Regenerating the bottom of old chunks is harder than it sounds. This is probably why you can’t yet use old saves in the snapshots. They are coming up with a solution to this predicament that allows an upgrade path for old saves.
Unlikely. Mojang doesn’t like to mess with existing chunks.
@Snailtan Also, what about servers? Especially old servers which can be in the terabytes? What about worlds with 10GB world on an old laptop with a slow HDD? A lot of people run minecraft on old machines. What if your computer shuts off during this process and corrupts chunks? What about the fact that the old generation of caves can not align with the new generation mathematically? There’s more questions there than answers.
Edit: You see how long it can take to generate a new world and spawn you in. Now imagine re-generating that spawn area + all explored chunks. It could take 5 minutes or it could take days, and if something happens to MC during this process whatever chunks it was touching would be corrupted and regenerated, potentially wiping your base with it. Sure, you can create a backup first or better yet the game could do it automatically. But what if you were 95% complete? What if you had to do it over again? And by the time you’ve explored so much, you might as well just make a new world because you’re gonna have to adventure far out to see the new caves every time you need resources. If I was in the process of crafting or building something I would rather go to the good old previously generated caves and ravines around my area. I typically explorer in a circle, outwards from my base. In some of my worlds, I’d have to go up to 25k blocks out in some axis to see the new caves.
@Jonny Again, if they are to have the new underground generated, they’d be generated when the chunks are ‘first’ (relative to installing the update) loaded. This would take no longer than how long it takes to load new chunks in an existing Minecraft world. Complete non-issue.
@Jonny Sure it depends. I mean, saves are just data. I am not sure, but my educated guess is that the chunk files, save every block that would naturally be there. So when you load a chunk, it doesnt read everything from the save, it just generates a new chunk and then removes and places block that have changed and are saved in the chunk save file.
You could technically write a function that translates old data to new data, if necessary. in my opinion not worth it, but this is just a theroretical what if scenatio.
And servers are a whole other beast. If you had to translate thousands in chunk data, you would have to wait a very long time, especially on old hardware. It is possible, that I can guarantee, but nobody in their right mind would code something like this lol
Though it would be kinda neat as an experiment, not something I would want to code tho lol.
Imagine if mojang’s trolling us and there’s going to be random floating ore blocks in the sky now.
@C M… the bible is just a book, and there is no scientific evidence for floating islands.
If that’s the case, i got my M1-Garand ready
@Josh I wouldn’t want to join you.
@Apex Anjanath it’s a history book. Don’t be demoralized.
@C M this is why christians get a bad rep on certain aspects, ‘some’ try to connect religion to a game that wasn’t built with religion in mind.
It’s different if you said ‘yea, that would be similar to (_blank_).
Not even saying this to be awkward, when he was saying diorite I thought it was a new block, he said it like durr-ite.
We’re all about to experience our first day of Minecraft again.
IKR! I’m so excited! I’ve always wanted to re-live my first day, I guess this update will be the closest to that as possible.
id just like to point out that the grimstone uses a similar if not the same texture as the blocks in the deep dark from the trailer. I wouldn’t be so quick to start strip mining for diamonds down there…
It feels like warden is probably gonna spawn in this biome
This update is going to be amazing.
@LawrencePlayz Yikes, did someone shit in your coffee? He literally just said “here before this blows up”
Nitro for 1.17 :))) ?
All except for the stronghold change. I’m going to miss having that rare one in a million change on accidentally finding a stronghold in a ravine.
I agree I am so excited for this update
It’s going to crash my low end laptop
