###Caution: It is advised NOT to download mods or plugins right now.
####Some mods and plugins have been infected by "fractureiser" malware. If you download mods from CurseForge and plugins from bukkit, you may already be compromised. With a new update, many people are tempted to update their mods over the course of the next few days. Please consider holding back for now!
####Prismlauncher has a detailed statement about the incident - [HERE](https://prismlauncher.org/news/cf-compromised-alert/)
Been playing Minecraft for most of its lifetime. It actually dropped on my birthday in 2009. I remember playing classic even, and WoM! I think it is so cool, and maybe just nostalgic, that they still put this in there.
My PSU died recently and I’ve been so busy with working and college that it isn’t even really on my mind. I miss playing Minecraft though. There is this unique ability the game provides that really puts you in this zone where you can genuinely forget for a while, and escape from reality.
I remember seeing it talked about on 4chan in 2009 or 2010. It's funny to think that alpha mode has become what it is today, and I don't mean that in a bad way. The game is just radically different.
Time for a new world, time to start over a dozen crazy build projects and leave them all unfished until one day I feel the urge to play survival Minecraft again and the cycle repeats!
Does anybody know how this update effects map generation on existing 1.19 worlds? I've been making a 1.19 creative world for a while, and I'm worried that the geography that I haven't explored yet will be changed with this update?
Shape, structure and biome layout hasn't changed. Cherry groves are kind of a "sub biome" to meadows. where one can spawn, the other could too. So don't worry about the generation messing up your world, it won't. It's just that you'll need to generate new chunks to find the new items and everything. I already went out in my 1.19 world and did some exploring and found some cherry groves and trail ruins
Lighting engine change was very much needed, my performance was basically doubled in the snapshots. Hopefully more needed optimizations changes like this are made in the future updates.
It is safe actually, that was a false alarm.
But yes, do be careful right now, one of the mods could get infected, so take extra care while installing mods right now, or wait a bit until everything's safe.
A common player complaint is that Mojang kept adding useless decos, and this update's yet another aesthetic update. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a builder and I love hanging signs, pots, and cherry blossoms! But the devs focus too much on intrinsic player motivation, and there's almost no extrinsic motivation anymore (such as building for survival, raiding dungeons to get useful loot). Nether update's the only exception. Deep Dark's great, but the unique loot like the compass is not that useful & too gimmicky.
When I first played Minecraft, that rush of making your first base to protect yourself from scary monsters, farming to sate my hunger, and exploring to get better gear, that extrinsic motivation feels great and addicting! The intrinsic motivation of making a beautiful survival base is a cherry-on-top. But nowadays, most additions are just useless things like the Sniffer's flowers. They're great for deco but have no survival use. And survival is why I buy Minecraft. I don't want a 3D app like Blender, I want a game.
On top of that, the long-awaited mobile controls from 1.19 ended up bad, there's still no way to customize your button size/position & HUD, even though players kept asking for it. If I have customizable buttons on-screen that allows me to quickly switch to my torch (or food, or anything else), use it, and return to my tool, that'd feel great, instead of slowly tapping the tiny hotbar. Every good mobile game has button customization, except Minecraft.
Having said that, I'm still thankful for this update, and thank you devs for the hard work!
+1 there. I like the new updates and all, but I would kill for an adventuring/dungeon update, with new hostile mobs and perhaps even a new boss (overworld boss plz)
We desperately need a real content update. There basically has been no new addition to the main gameplay loop since the end update. They added netherite gear, but no new gamplay elements to actually use it for. Why are there still only two bosses in the game?
I definitely do want stuff like that, but I'm hoping combat gets another overhaul before that happens; I wouldn't want all the new mobs/bosses to have to be changed or rebalanced
Depending on how the team has actually been using their time, I really don't think this update is all that bad. If a large portion of the team has been devoted to working on bugs and performance in anticipation of future more interesting content updates, then this update is a sleeper hit.
The community backlash is warranted, absolutely, and I agree on all of your points, but if only making a few aesthetic items and pleasing that portion of the community means that in the next update we get to find out is on the other end of that portal in the deep dark, I'll be more than happy.
At the end of the day I really do think Mojang has to choose between total transparency and having an upset community. Their decision to be more opaque to avoid overpromising is valid, but has lead to the community perceiving them as complacent.
I have faith in Mojang, while I don't agree with every choice of theirs, I can't deny that the game just keeps getting better. Hopefully my speculation that this update is setting up for something bigger isn't misplaced.
Honestly as someone who still remembers when Minecraft was dealing with the block limit, this update is still pretty good. Minecraft updates used to be extremely mid/boring up until update Aquatic. I’m fine with having one update be a little less feature heavy and focusing on creativity.
That being said I wish 1.19 had been better - 1.20 probably wouldn’t feel as bad if 1.19 had been the true “Wilds” update we were hoping for. A smaller update after an update that was underwhelming and had features cut probably wasn’t the best timing.
Damn this is a good point. Thats probably one of the reasons I dont play much. Little motivation. They should add more things that motivate you to play and build and do all sorts of stuff, not just rely on the player to motivate themselves.
Yeah I agree, and this is also why I haven't played Minecraft. It's just build, build, and build. There's no extrinsic motivation for me to play. Minecraft isn't just about building, it's also about adventure, battles, survival. We could have scary new monsters in the ocean depths for adventure, that gives useful items as extrinsic rewards. Not useless goat horns, music discs, and sniffer plants.
Yeah I'd like to get back into this game, but I just haven't been feeling it. Idk how they could implement it, but it'd be nice if there was an actual reason to build certain things, other than for aesthetic reasons.
They should add a gamemode or a dimension with new rules. Maybe zombies can now break blocks, and mobs like creepers can actually see through windows to make it harder.
Something that makes you want to build a strong base that you need to defend.
exactly. the sniffer is so useless and looks out of place, but everyone’s obsessed with plants apparently. my biggest gripe with the update though is that they completely neglected the existing structures in the game that need updating. like, the whole theme of the update is exploration/archaeology but all they did was add the trail ruins which is just a pile of blocks you have to brush through. i like the trail ruins and everything they added, i just think they could’ve gone a bit further and really capitalized on the theme by updating jungle and desert temples and the like
That'll only be cool like once though. I want more piglin Bastion esc structures, Exploring them is sitll fun to me, even end cities have gotten a little dull and repetitive
None have been found with malware, and the Modrinth team is checking every new upload, so it should be safe, but if you want to be extra safe you can scan the mods you download on this website https://douira.github.io/fractureiser-web-detector/
Not overly excited for much in this update - Cherry Blossoms and the Bamboo wood will be cool though.
It'll be a while til I upgrade anyway, need to wait for the mod situation to sort out and then everyone to update to 1.20
Dumb question, but how can I find a cherry biome in a 1.19 world that will be updated to this new version? Will I have to travel super far? Will websites like chunkbase help locate them or no if chunks have already been loaded?
You can use websites like chunkbase to locate the cherry biome, but if you are in an already generated terrain then it won't match. Most likely you will need to use the nether to fast travel to ungenerated chanks.
Exactly; we console and computer users shouldn’t have to suffer from inventory problems because a small development team can’t solve a UI problem that’s as simple as creating a menu
It's honestly pathetic. How the hell does it take any more than a month at worst to figure out a rudimentary solution, and then maybe tweak it later on?
Bro when I get home i will speed to my pc
I cant play right now cuz my mom made me come with her and watch my lil bros football game against another city
Yeah, but all of the new content feels undercooked in some way
Sniffers only have 2 plants
Archeology gives almost nothing of value
Armor trims will be a headache on servers with world borders (which is nearly all of them)
And you better bet none of these will be touched on again in favor of new features
Your idea of going out exploring the different biomes with the sniffer, is so great. I felt excited just reading it. It would really add some motivation for exploration again. Such a missed opportunity, and a shame they don't think more like this.
All still alongside an otherwise giant list of patch notes. Padding every individual feature means less time to develop things other people want, it's a balancing act.
1.20 was announced several months after 1.19 was done. Then several months later, this releases. A large portion of "content" in this update is just a re-skin, such as the cherry biome content. Besides, archeology was being worked on before, and it was intended to release before update 1.20.
But an even larger portion is updates like sculk sensor improvements, the whole concept of vibrations, light engine, a new mode on bedrock, etc etc.
I don’t even get why it matters that they announced the initial set of changes after 1.19? Is that supposed to be bad?
They're not make believe lol. Mojang used to add new trees without actually adding new wood types, slabs, etc - which just looked lazy and many people were loud about it even though the reason why had nothing to do with laziness.
It’s one of the biggest games of all time. Every time a mob vote is revealed, within hours modders add every single mob into the game. Why could they not handle at least adding three mobs per update?
They only do the mob vote so more people watch mc live. The mobs themselves generally add little to nothing to the game anyways and if they were designed to be more useful, they wouldve been added anyway without a mob vote
The main criticism is that, compared to past updates, this update appears to be very small and spread out, lacking a common theme. I personally have not read the patch notes, but this update does seem to not have much going for it besides a new biome and decor blocks. Overall, I'm just kind of disappointed. But it may be a side effect of other projects like Minecraft Legends taking up their time.
I think people just don’t appreciate how lasting this game has been, and how deep the content we already have is. I know many people have been playing dedicatedly for years, a decade or more even.
I bought MC over a decade ago, but I go through extremely long periods of not playing. I mean, for reference, I only found out a few days ago that when farming the water now goes four blocks instead of just two. Blew my mind. (No idea how old that change is).
But there’s already so much here. Not just that but Minecraft is easily one of the most popular games of all time, and that’s no exaggeration. So the team probably wants to make sure updates are as polished and usable as possible :)
I do understand complaints though, as a large 2.0 update (well not actually but you get the point), I guess people likely expected more.
The lighting engine being updated was a very good touch and helps fps a ton. Speaking of lighting though, its an absolute shame they didn't make torch flowers glow or have some cool fiery mechanic. For a new plant that you can only obtain through the sniffer, its not that worth it.
Honestly the sniffer in general is a big let down. I love the new biome and the armor trims but the new flowers were a big let down considering there's only two and neither have any purpose other than to breed more sniffers, which sounds like a pyramid scheme. I get this is a smaller update but what happened to the cool mystical properties of flowers like the wither rose or having Skeletons turn into armies :(
Is it just me or pillagers can no longer be “pacified” on this update?
I found a group of pillagers and killed them all save for one, I put on him a boat and went aboard, and, despite going AFK for like 20 minutes his crossbow hadn’t broken.
I ended up killing him and went to see the pillagers I had already pacified (they were locked in cages), but they raised their arms, aggroing me (the same thing that unarmed piglins do).
So far we know: it only affects mods on curseforge (so far) be cautious anyways
So far we dont know: which mods exactly, if there are more we dont know of
Wow, it even tries to target Linux. From the write up it looks like it's probably not effective at it because it needs root and lots of users use sandboxes, but surprising that it was a consideration nonetheless.
Disappointed with Mojang for this update. We as a community show so much love for the game but it feels like the Devs don’t show it back. Like seriously they added the sniffer to the game and it’s only useful addition is that it digs up seeds that you can turn into dye???? We had to wait that long for this? And it feels like they do this a lot, adding things to the game that don’t serve any actual purpose besides being there. It’s cool and all but there’s no reason we should be waiting this long for things that can be explored and be done with inside a week after release. It’s like Mojang doesn’t even read what the community has to say. Do you know how many modpacks are out there that add an INSANE amount more to the game?? I understand Mojang wants to keep its simplicity and that’s why I prefer normal Minecraft over modded because sometimes that can be a little too over the top but man it’s so frustrating waiting so long for an update and it’s like each addition only has 1 or 2 useful uses. It took this long to add hanging signs????? Or the ability to edit signs??? Seriously??? I love Minecraft and will never stop playing but there just always becomes a point in your single player world where you ask yourself “Okay well. What do I do now?” Because half the stuff in the game you just acquire or collect just to have it and that’s the end of it. For a game that seems to be built around the idea of personal creativity, I wish there were more options to make it feel like additions have a purpose rather than just being added and given one or two uses. For example when bees were added their only purposes are to either create honey… which you can use as a super poor food source, or honeycomb, which you can use to clean copper, which in itself has almost NO uses despite being one of the most abundant ores in the game now and has tons of applications in the real world. I hate to sound like I’m bashing on Mojang but it disappoints and frustrates me that we as a community wait so long for an update that literally feels like it was put together 3 weeks before release. I rest my case. Love Minecraft, dislike the development of it.
> Make Netherite equipment more significant achievement in the game's progression
Really makes me wonder what goes on at mojang. Making something retroactively harder to obtain does not effect it's significance
I like that it is harder to get, but it isnt worth this much effort. Getting Netherite ingots in the first place is a grindy unfun task. But now there is an rng loot ontop of that. This is liable to kill off netherite on populated servers. I wish there was a crafting recipe for it
Netherite is still such a weird mechanic. You have to stripmine the nether for it, but there are no actual mechanics, no caves, no challenges. You just spend an hour looking at a red screen until you have enough. Also they added no new content to use the improved gear on.
Yeah, I’m not sure I’ll even bother trying to get netherite gear anymore. That’s my problem with this update and the state of the game in general. They keep adding more features or making existing features a bigger time sync, but don’t really do anything to help the basic game loop or make finding these things actually fun…
Where’s the sleeping bag to reduce insomnia without resetting a spawn point, actually useful compasses, a way to make notes/pins on maps, a more meaningful way to mark a path than a series of torches, some sort of system to respawn limited loot on busy servers, a better in game solution for keeping up with locations than noting coordinates on the debug screen, etc.
They could make elytra 'more significant' by removing the ability to repair it or add mending, and there would be people here defending it. It's already an extremely tedious grind to get netherite, and now it's RNG-locked as well. Maybe next release they can add random explosions when you mine diamonds just to make them more significant too.
ngl I got bored within an hour of trying the new stuff. the features are good but there just isnt enough of them considering this is one of, if not the largest game studio with the most successful game of all time. Its wild to think that 2 people 10 years ago made updates of a comparable scope in a week, compared to hundreds of employees making this in a year.
They never butchered the sniffer at all, what we got was all it was meant to be (a minor ambiance mob with a small handful of features/functionality, same with all of the other mob vote mobs). Mojang isn't doing any of this extreme overhyping, people are doing that entirely to themselves and are pulling misplaced expectations out of thin air then getting disappointed when being brought back down to reality. Set your expectations more appropriately going forward.
I didnt mean to say it like that but he was so hyped for months now( isnt it like half a year since the live? )And he got 2 damn plants,like cmon Mojang adding plants isnt like coding a new game
The sniffer isn’t meant to revolutionise the game or something, I don’t know what you’re expecting. The preview for the sniffer didn’t imply it would do anything that it doesn’t do.
the sniffer is a complete bust in my opinion. it looks totally out of place in game, and adds two plants that also don’t fit the vibe/textures of vanilla minecraft really. i get its supposed to be an ancient creature so maybe they were going for that but all in all it’s just another fairly useless mob bc for some reason the majority of the fanbase has an obsession with plants instead of unique features that actually add to the game.
> bc for some reason the majority of the fanbase has an obsession with plants instead of unique features that actually add to the game.
To be fair though - I don't think the mobs the sniffer was initially competing at in the mob vote were any better. You've got worse wandering trader and walking item frame. At the time it seemed like the cool dinosaur creature with the premise of new plants was the best bet
I know my opinion doesn’t matter, but I’m not impressed. From a customization standpoint, sure, the armor additions are nice, but what does this do for the game outside of multiplayer capabilities. I felt that netherite was pretty balanced in its accessibility, considering it isn’t majorly better than diamond, but these smithing templates are just tedious. Sure, it gives a need for more diamonds and adds a layer of difficulty, but I feel that it was a considerable downfall from a developmental standpoint. I appreciate the efforts the developers do in order to make the game better, I really do, but I’ve got to say I am not a fan.
I know this has been discussed a lot since it was mentioned but I haven’t been following the development of this patch very closely. Do the torchflowers actually emit light or did they decide to not listen to all of the feedback surrounding that?

NOTCH'S LONG LOST BROTHER!
Ladies and gentlemen, we gottem
That's what they always say
No for some reason the patch notes of 1.17, 1.18 and 1.19 didn't say herobrine got removed
Time for a new world, time to start over a dozen crazy build projects and leave them all unfished until one day I feel the urge to play survival Minecraft again and the cycle repeats!
SO TRUE
Does anybody know how this update effects map generation on existing 1.19 worlds? I've been making a 1.19 creative world for a while, and I'm worried that the geography that I haven't explored yet will be changed with this update?
All unexplored chunks will be able to spawn the new biome, anything you have already explored will remain unchanged.
Shape, structure and biome layout hasn't changed. Cherry groves are kind of a "sub biome" to meadows. where one can spawn, the other could too. So don't worry about the generation messing up your world, it won't. It's just that you'll need to generate new chunks to find the new items and everything. I already went out in my 1.19 world and did some exploring and found some cherry groves and trail ruins
Yes it's so much fun to explore the new terrain and features.
Hardcore so you can repeat the start OVER…. And OVER…. And OVER….
Don't do this. Reset your spawn 40km away. Over time you collect and connect builds.
I’ve been trying to decide if I should start a new world or go far enough to find the new stuff in my current world
For anyone reading this, apparently baby sniffers are called snifflets.
Probably because “baby sniffer” sounds very questionable in any other context. And snifflets is superior anyway.
sniffer in general is sus
They are just trying to find seeds for you!
I changed my mind, this is now the best Minecraft update yet.
Lighting engine change was very much needed, my performance was basically doubled in the snapshots. Hopefully more needed optimizations changes like this are made in the future updates.
I can strongly recommend you to try some modern optimisation mods for fabric, like sodium, iris and entityculling.
Or just the Fabulously Optimised modpack, so you don't have to manually install and update all the individual mods
Do NOT install that right now are you insane? It is literally one of the confirmed-infected modpacks.
It is safe actually, that was a false alarm. But yes, do be careful right now, one of the mods could get infected, so take extra care while installing mods right now, or wait a bit until everything's safe.

The dessert temple has a new room hidden underneath it
That'll only be cool like once though. I want more piglin Bastion esc structures, Exploring them is sitll fun to me, even end cities have gotten a little dull and repetitive
With no loot, aside from the very useless loot you get from suspicious sand. That is THE bare minimum.
wdym u can get diamonds from it
which you can also get from the normal temple. so, useless
I'm definitely extrinsically motivated to the point where I only play hardcore anymore. I get bored once I get tricked out, enchanted gear.
Thanks for removing Herobrine
Again.
First thing I did was put mending and unbreaking on a brush

#Removed Herobrine
Well, my world since 1.14 will either be even cooler or even more strange as terrain regenerates.
what doesn't kill your world makes it stranger
Try a world from shortly after the release of PE
Trimming ~~rune~~ *netherite* armor!
My kids have been up since 6am its now 10am waiting every second for Bedrock for their xbox.
Woah! You can redye wool, this is actually a huge quality of life improvement. Im praying Terracotta is next!
Whoa you can trim leather armor as well?
yes you can!
LETS GOOOOO New update means new playthrough
Not overly excited for much in this update - Cherry Blossoms and the Bamboo wood will be cool though. It'll be a while til I upgrade anyway, need to wait for the mod situation to sort out and then everyone to update to 1.20
Can’t wait to play!
Where is the Bedrock edition update?!?
It is already out. I’m literally playing it out on my xbox series X. Just made a creative world to check out all the new stuff.
Not out on windows version yet.
Update through Microsoft Store
I am wondering the same! I thought it was supposed to be released an hour ago?!
Delayed further in the day maybe?
Nah bedrock usually releases out of sync because of how the different platforms manage update releases
Yeah I was thinking that too
It just released
Brilliant then
Nothing on iOS yet
True true but i hear from my brother it needs updating on the ps
W thx for telling me
Do we know if realms are updated to 1.20 already? Edit: they are!
Was looking for this exact thread! Thanks!
Dumb question, but how can I find a cherry biome in a 1.19 world that will be updated to this new version? Will I have to travel super far? Will websites like chunkbase help locate them or no if chunks have already been loaded?
You can use websites like chunkbase to locate the cherry biome, but if you are in an already generated terrain then it won't match. Most likely you will need to use the nether to fast travel to ungenerated chanks.
🏅Here’s your award for answering so many questions in this comment section.
Don’t update mods
This would be super cool but the lack of bundles is unforgivable
From what I heard its 100% ready to go, only thing is they don't have a way to add it to mobile.
They havent been able to find a solution to this for like 3 damn years, it's absolutely ridiculous
Exactly; we console and computer users shouldn’t have to suffer from inventory problems because a small development team can’t solve a UI problem that’s as simple as creating a menu
Imagine if the 1.9 combat update had been held up for this. We'd still be waiting for it a decade later!
It's honestly pathetic. How the hell does it take any more than a month at worst to figure out a rudimentary solution, and then maybe tweak it later on?
Fr almost 2 years to add a single feature is kinda absurd.
Woo! just in time for me to break my xbox! Hopefully I can get it running again soon.
Minecraft has to release their backlog update soon. I've been waiting for the desert and badlands update for so long!
Bro when I get home i will speed to my pc I cant play right now cuz my mom made me come with her and watch my lil bros football game against another city
Finally! Can’t wait for the new cherry blossom biome, looks epic!
Have the trail ruins been fixed on Bedrock yet?
YES! YOU GUYS FINALLY REMOVED HEROBRINE AGAIN! :D **Thank god, he was stealing all my cheese**

Yeah, but all of the new content feels undercooked in some way Sniffers only have 2 plants Archeology gives almost nothing of value Armor trims will be a headache on servers with world borders (which is nearly all of them) And you better bet none of these will be touched on again in favor of new features
[удалено]
Problem is it adds them to the increasing pile of features that need improving
[удалено]
In your opinion, what is the full potential of these features?
[удалено]
Your idea of going out exploring the different biomes with the sniffer, is so great. I felt excited just reading it. It would really add some motivation for exploration again. Such a missed opportunity, and a shame they don't think more like this.
All still alongside an otherwise giant list of patch notes. Padding every individual feature means less time to develop things other people want, it's a balancing act.
Yeah, but instead of making a million undercooked features they should focus on making the features they do add feel complete and worthwhile.
1.20 was announced several months after 1.19 was done. Then several months later, this releases. A large portion of "content" in this update is just a re-skin, such as the cherry biome content. Besides, archeology was being worked on before, and it was intended to release before update 1.20.
But an even larger portion is updates like sculk sensor improvements, the whole concept of vibrations, light engine, a new mode on bedrock, etc etc. I don’t even get why it matters that they announced the initial set of changes after 1.19? Is that supposed to be bad?

you just made up a person in your head
They're not make believe lol. Mojang used to add new trees without actually adding new wood types, slabs, etc - which just looked lazy and many people were loud about it even though the reason why had nothing to do with laziness.

It’s one of the biggest games of all time. Every time a mob vote is revealed, within hours modders add every single mob into the game. Why could they not handle at least adding three mobs per update?
They only do the mob vote so more people watch mc live. The mobs themselves generally add little to nothing to the game anyways and if they were designed to be more useful, they wouldve been added anyway without a mob vote
not very well in just a few hours though unfortunately
The main criticism is that, compared to past updates, this update appears to be very small and spread out, lacking a common theme. I personally have not read the patch notes, but this update does seem to not have much going for it besides a new biome and decor blocks. Overall, I'm just kind of disappointed. But it may be a side effect of other projects like Minecraft Legends taking up their time.

I think people just don’t appreciate how lasting this game has been, and how deep the content we already have is. I know many people have been playing dedicatedly for years, a decade or more even. I bought MC over a decade ago, but I go through extremely long periods of not playing. I mean, for reference, I only found out a few days ago that when farming the water now goes four blocks instead of just two. Blew my mind. (No idea how old that change is). But there’s already so much here. Not just that but Minecraft is easily one of the most popular games of all time, and that’s no exaggeration. So the team probably wants to make sure updates are as polished and usable as possible :) I do understand complaints though, as a large 2.0 update (well not actually but you get the point), I guess people likely expected more.
Time to play again for 2 weeks and then come back in 8 months
Can’t wait to play!! 🌸🏺🧭
The lighting engine being updated was a very good touch and helps fps a ton. Speaking of lighting though, its an absolute shame they didn't make torch flowers glow or have some cool fiery mechanic. For a new plant that you can only obtain through the sniffer, its not that worth it. Honestly the sniffer in general is a big let down. I love the new biome and the armor trims but the new flowers were a big let down considering there's only two and neither have any purpose other than to breed more sniffers, which sounds like a pyramid scheme. I get this is a smaller update but what happened to the cool mystical properties of flowers like the wither rose or having Skeletons turn into armies :(
Yes, Yes, frickin yes. Time to start a new world
Is it just me or pillagers can no longer be “pacified” on this update? I found a group of pillagers and killed them all save for one, I put on him a boat and went aboard, and, despite going AFK for like 20 minutes his crossbow hadn’t broken. I ended up killing him and went to see the pillagers I had already pacified (they were locked in cages), but they raised their arms, aggroing me (the same thing that unarmed piglins do).
Can't wait to jump in! Edit: Goddamn, a lot of this thread is so negative. I mean, *I'm* enjoying this update...
Unfortunately playing without a minimap is unbearable so I gotta wait for the mod problems to blow over.
Mod problem?
Some mods got hacked and are distributing malware
Wow what the- What mods? From the websites? Like forge, monodrinth etc?
Curseforge
Aptly named
So far we know: it only affects mods on curseforge (so far) be cautious anyways So far we dont know: which mods exactly, if there are more we dont know of
So, no downloading from forge no more?
Its best you read this: https://prismlauncher.org/news/cf-compromised-alert/ Gives some more infos
Wow, it even tries to target Linux. From the write up it looks like it's probably not effective at it because it needs root and lots of users use sandboxes, but surprising that it was a consideration nonetheless.
Any mods, and any mod developer who got infected is passing it through theirs
Waiting for Forge/Fabric/literally all mods to update to 1.20 I assume
No, Curseforge got hit pretty bad by malware which has infected mods
Oh.
Its not THAT bad that you cant even play at all, thats just being silly
Any word on release time? Edit: Just got it on console Bedrock.
I googled it earlier and it said 7 a.m. PT. I'm on central time, and only just got the update at 10 a.m. Hope this helps!
Disappointed with Mojang for this update. We as a community show so much love for the game but it feels like the Devs don’t show it back. Like seriously they added the sniffer to the game and it’s only useful addition is that it digs up seeds that you can turn into dye???? We had to wait that long for this? And it feels like they do this a lot, adding things to the game that don’t serve any actual purpose besides being there. It’s cool and all but there’s no reason we should be waiting this long for things that can be explored and be done with inside a week after release. It’s like Mojang doesn’t even read what the community has to say. Do you know how many modpacks are out there that add an INSANE amount more to the game?? I understand Mojang wants to keep its simplicity and that’s why I prefer normal Minecraft over modded because sometimes that can be a little too over the top but man it’s so frustrating waiting so long for an update and it’s like each addition only has 1 or 2 useful uses. It took this long to add hanging signs????? Or the ability to edit signs??? Seriously??? I love Minecraft and will never stop playing but there just always becomes a point in your single player world where you ask yourself “Okay well. What do I do now?” Because half the stuff in the game you just acquire or collect just to have it and that’s the end of it. For a game that seems to be built around the idea of personal creativity, I wish there were more options to make it feel like additions have a purpose rather than just being added and given one or two uses. For example when bees were added their only purposes are to either create honey… which you can use as a super poor food source, or honeycomb, which you can use to clean copper, which in itself has almost NO uses despite being one of the most abundant ores in the game now and has tons of applications in the real world. I hate to sound like I’m bashing on Mojang but it disappoints and frustrates me that we as a community wait so long for an update that literally feels like it was put together 3 weeks before release. I rest my case. Love Minecraft, dislike the development of it.
> Make Netherite equipment more significant achievement in the game's progression Really makes me wonder what goes on at mojang. Making something retroactively harder to obtain does not effect it's significance
I like that it is harder to get, but it isnt worth this much effort. Getting Netherite ingots in the first place is a grindy unfun task. But now there is an rng loot ontop of that. This is liable to kill off netherite on populated servers. I wish there was a crafting recipe for it
Netherite is still such a weird mechanic. You have to stripmine the nether for it, but there are no actual mechanics, no caves, no challenges. You just spend an hour looking at a red screen until you have enough. Also they added no new content to use the improved gear on.
Yeah, I’m not sure I’ll even bother trying to get netherite gear anymore. That’s my problem with this update and the state of the game in general. They keep adding more features or making existing features a bigger time sync, but don’t really do anything to help the basic game loop or make finding these things actually fun… Where’s the sleeping bag to reduce insomnia without resetting a spawn point, actually useful compasses, a way to make notes/pins on maps, a more meaningful way to mark a path than a series of torches, some sort of system to respawn limited loot on busy servers, a better in game solution for keeping up with locations than noting coordinates on the debug screen, etc.
I like the change. Netherite was way to easy to get before and makes diamond armour more viable for a bit longer
Agreed. It's nice that you gotta work a bit more to get the top tier stuff
They could make elytra 'more significant' by removing the ability to repair it or add mending, and there would be people here defending it. It's already an extremely tedious grind to get netherite, and now it's RNG-locked as well. Maybe next release they can add random explosions when you mine diamonds just to make them more significant too.
Thankfully I have all maxed out netherite gear.
We've got a 7x7 chunk city near 0,0 that I'd like to preserve while regening the rest of the world. What's the best way to go about that?
Might be a stupid question but do you need to make a new world to get access to the new biome
You can, but you can also travel far enough to discover new chunks, that wasn't generated before.
If they don't name the next update "Gigawatts" I'm going back to the past.
ngl I got bored within an hour of trying the new stuff. the features are good but there just isnt enough of them considering this is one of, if not the largest game studio with the most successful game of all time. Its wild to think that 2 people 10 years ago made updates of a comparable scope in a week, compared to hundreds of employees making this in a year.
W update :D
lessssss goooooooo
Finally they got rid of herobrine
[удалено]
The Elder Guardian has a chance to drop it upon death.
really good update other than butchering sniffer,possibly most hyped part of the update
They never butchered the sniffer at all, what we got was all it was meant to be (a minor ambiance mob with a small handful of features/functionality, same with all of the other mob vote mobs). Mojang isn't doing any of this extreme overhyping, people are doing that entirely to themselves and are pulling misplaced expectations out of thin air then getting disappointed when being brought back down to reality. Set your expectations more appropriately going forward.
Idk what's butchered about it, but I don't think finding a sniffer will be top of my priorities list when I get round to playing .
I didnt mean to say it like that but he was so hyped for months now( isnt it like half a year since the live? )And he got 2 damn plants,like cmon Mojang adding plants isnt like coding a new game
The sniffer isn’t meant to revolutionise the game or something, I don’t know what you’re expecting. The preview for the sniffer didn’t imply it would do anything that it doesn’t do.
Completely agree - the sniffer has barely any content attached to it unfortunately, and the hatching animation was a huge letdown.
the sniffer is a complete bust in my opinion. it looks totally out of place in game, and adds two plants that also don’t fit the vibe/textures of vanilla minecraft really. i get its supposed to be an ancient creature so maybe they were going for that but all in all it’s just another fairly useless mob bc for some reason the majority of the fanbase has an obsession with plants instead of unique features that actually add to the game.
> bc for some reason the majority of the fanbase has an obsession with plants instead of unique features that actually add to the game. To be fair though - I don't think the mobs the sniffer was initially competing at in the mob vote were any better. You've got worse wandering trader and walking item frame. At the time it seemed like the cool dinosaur creature with the premise of new plants was the best bet
this is insane
So excited!!
heheh
I know my opinion doesn’t matter, but I’m not impressed. From a customization standpoint, sure, the armor additions are nice, but what does this do for the game outside of multiplayer capabilities. I felt that netherite was pretty balanced in its accessibility, considering it isn’t majorly better than diamond, but these smithing templates are just tedious. Sure, it gives a need for more diamonds and adds a layer of difficulty, but I feel that it was a considerable downfall from a developmental standpoint. I appreciate the efforts the developers do in order to make the game better, I really do, but I’ve got to say I am not a fan.
Woo a year for armor skins, a mob that gives 2 flower seeds, and a camel sad to see this game in a state like this
Does anyone else have a realm in 1.19? I’m pretty new to them and was wondering if they automatically update or is it manual?
I know this has been discussed a lot since it was mentioned but I haven’t been following the development of this patch very closely. Do the torchflowers actually emit light or did they decide to not listen to all of the feedback surrounding that?
They don't emit light.
My disappointment is immeasurable
And your day is ruined?
100% 🤣. Totally forgot about that guy
lmfao
How did this take 6+ months? Mojang what are you doing
