Minecraft 1.19

Here's a place to share your thoughts on 1.19, the Wild Update, as well as minecraft live 2021 in general.

 

Here's my thoughts:
I'm guessing the Wild update is the biome update they said would happen a couple of years ago, so I'll list off a few features that went unmentioned in Minecraft Live and that will probably be seen in later snapshots:
Baobab trees (Savannah)
Termites (Savannah)
Termite mounds (Savannah)
Ostriches (Savannah)
Meerkats (Desert)
Palm Trees (Desert)
Tumbleweed (Badlands)
Flowery cactus (Badlands)
Vulture (Badlands)

And now onto confirmed features:
Allay
The Allay won the mob vote. If you've seen its trailer then you will know what it does, but to summarize you can give it an item, it will find all of those items within rendered terrain, and drop them near the nearest noteblock.

Deep dark
The deep dark appears to have been pushed back to 1.19, but has a structure assosciated with it now: The deep dark city. Kingbdogz seems to be adding some lore about souls to the game, because this place is full of soul flames and lanterns, with the new Soul Screamer giving off the soul speed particle effect. Not only those, but when you kill a mob near a Sculk catalyst, the place where its corpse turns to dust grows sculk which also ties in with the soul theme. Very interesting stuff. Also the Warden takes form from sculk on the ground rather than chasing you now which is pretty terrifying

Mangrove trees
Finally we have an underwater sapling, even though nobody asked for that. The mangrove is a pretty cool new tree with roots and its wood looks like what would happen if you mixed Jungle and Acacia.

Mud
Mud is a new block that generates in Mangrove swamps, which are a new biome. You can also get mud by using a water bottle on a dirt block. Mud can be drained with dripstones to get clay, so clay is renewable now

Mud bricks
A new brick type that is honestly more appealing than clay bricks. It fits better with a lot of builds than the blocks from 1.17, which I didn't really like because they were either really ugly (amethyst) or too desaturated (basically every other block)

Boat with chest
Basically an extra inventory that you can take across water, pretty cool.

Fireflies (or thunderbugs as the hosts insist)
Is it a particle effect or a mob? I genuinely cannot tell because it is 2 pixels. Frogs eat them, which makes me think they're a mob, but at the same time they just look like particle effects

Frog
Frog

Possible additions (as seen in concept art):

Lilypads with leaves
ok

Mushrooms for trees
Incredibly nice for detail, hopefully could be placed on more blocks

Tall birch trees
ok


Here's my opinion on the wild update:
I don't like the name but other than that it looks good. It might end up being my favourite update because it'll actually add some atmosphere to the game and a lot of cool new mobs. I have a feeling I'm gonna like this one a lot more than Caves and Cliffs.

 

Savanna not taiga

I love frogs. This looks like a great update

 

They should add new visuals to pair the concept art. It still so cool, and the deep dark part was INSANE

 

Yeah, I was kinda hoping there'd be mist over the swamp and stuff. That would have been so cool. We know they can do that sort of thing with lighting now (darkness effect) so it feels like a missed opportunity

 

They probably know that, they just didn't show it in MC Live, maybe its a down the line feature. Also if you have an idea you can send to them so Im sure other ppl will tell them

 

I just had an insanely cool idea for an exclusive piece of loot that could be added to the Deep Dark Cities

The candles in these cities have orange flames which is inconsistent with the other flames being soul fire, so I think it'd be cool if the Enchanted Flint and Steel from Minecraft: Story Mode was added as an exclusive item only found in the deep dark cities

They would have more durability than regular flint and steel, and all flames they create would be soul flame.

The flint and steel could be used to:
Create soul candles without cluttering the creative inventory
Relight extinguished regular campfires as soul campfires
Change regular torches and lanterns to be their soul version
Possibly make some new blocks (Soul magma, soul lava?)
Kill the Warden easily?
Make soul fire without placing soulsand or soul soil
Deal fast damage to enemies in PVP (soul fire burns faster than regular fire)
Be put in furnaces to make them burn forever or alternatively make the furnace twice as fast, the fire on the furnace is blue if this is done (Keep in mind this would be like an elytra where you get only one per city so I think an eternal/faster furnace is a fair tradeoff)
Scorch dirt/grass/podzol/mycelium into soul sand? (you could make soul speed paths with this)
Maybe lighting a nether portal with one would make the portal take you to the nearest soulsand valley or something

I'm waiting for boats with chests

Note: do not lock the thread

 

Please make an attempt to necropost.

 

gladly, ill necropost in 31 days just for you

 

1.19? We haven't gotten 1.18 yet! Albeit, it's coming in a day or two.

 

i think the warden is going to be hard to find in the update

 

insanely late bump because this thread should probably stay around when actual snapshots start coming out in the next few weeks (mojang please stop making your betas bedrock only please)
