I wish you can craft suspicious sand with a chosen item so you can do treasure hunts with friends.

It's... really weird that you can get suspicious stew from a sand block. Kind of ruins the immersion of "I found this buried under sand!" if you're just imagining eating a bowl full of sandy soup

I love the subtle shade he throws at the devs over "telling your own story" with the pottery shards

for the amount of effort it takes to get torch flowers they should give off light. Maybe not as much as a torch or glowstone but maybe a lightlevel of like 9 or 8

i dont think pots are enough of an incentive to make archeology anything more than a gimmick

I really want the pots to be able to hold water, not waterlogging but legit hold water inside like a real pot😂, sort of like a cheap cauldron. You would be able to get water bottles out of it, and maybe if Mojang ever considered giving a cooking update then u can put the pot on the campfire and cook all kinds of stew inside.

I can always rely on you to make an in depth showcase of everything. You’re more thorough than anyone else

I really like the idea of cherry blossoms but I wish there was a little bit more white in the leaf texture. Still cool for sure!

it seems to me (just from a quick look at how the trees are growing here) that they always grow in a flat plane, which might be useful for farming if theres a way to force it to always grow on one axis (maybe it will grow in a 5x3 space)

Thank you Ilmango, I did not like my story so I cracked my pot, sure my mother is not happy, but at least I can change my story now, wonderful.

“the first ancient mob” could also be interpreted as “the first mob that is lorewise confirmed to be ancient/prehistoric” i don’t know if i wanna get my hopes up

They should consider making the part of the pot that sticks up on top slightly wider (or narrower) so you don't get all that z fighting with certain items when you set them on top.

Edit: I guess it doesn't work this way now but maybe in the future: potential for farming bonemeal from large quantities of cherry blossoms, maybe have a layer of grass blocks with leaves above and slime block machines can break the blossom petals into items for collection and composting

im hoping the ability to be a light source of the torchflower is just turned off. it would be really nice to have paths lit up by them

Whoever bug-reported the baby horses/camels being ridable in boats even once grown into adults I hope their food always tastes bitter

You can make an automatic playlist for your base whenever it's loaded. Plus with custom music discs, you can make easy background music for servers

Archeology feels like it had less thought put into it compared to other features. Hopefully, they can do more with it before the release. Like add suspicious sands and gravels to more structures (basically what they did with smithing templates). And add more dye and shard combos to pots (again, like smithing templates) to make them more unique / personal, as advertised. And make pots interactive for storing items, holding liquids, or just being a large flower pot. Also change the brush recipe back to copper because even tiny uses like this will help flesh the ore out.

A nice way to farm ancient seeds would be to have sniffers wandering around your base or a large area with allays to pick up the items

I preferred the old way where you made the pot with clay and put one of eight shards that were colorful. I don't want the new ones to go way though as having both the painted shards and etched shards would be fantastic. I hope they make suspicious soil for jungle biomes and suspicious gravel for other things like underwater. This is okay but...meh. I am really excited for this update despite how that sounded. The Sakura trees are amazing; they did a fine job on them. I hope there's more that they've yet to go over but I'm sure if they don't, the modding community will add more for sure. I can't wait to play this version of Minecraft. Need my PC back todo so. :D

I think the sus sand should turn into normal sand when it falls or a player breaks it, rather than it just vanishing.

Hey Ilmango! If you send a suspicious sand through an end portal, it is able to fall without breaking for some reason... I wonder if you can somehow use that to dupe the suspicious sand with the exit end portal. Unfortunately it also loses it's treasure once it goes through the end portal, but you can get a "rare" block if you brush it and then put it in the end because that state will be paused which is pretty cool!

"In case you didnt like your story or whatever" XD Salty Mango is a cool one, I like :)

I think it should be possible to put emeralds (or other items) inside the pots so that they dropp when the pot is broken.

It would be cool if we could use the dyes to change the color of the chests! :) Like shulkers. Maybe even change texture, with the anvil (Chest + iron ingot) gives a chest with a metallic texture. Many times I found that the chests did not match with the decorations.

For some reason here lately it amuses me when games add cherry blossoms to their world, which bloom perpetually when I believe their real world bloom season is very short.

It's always fun when a big snapshot like this comes out and everyone is making youtube videos with different information. Just for the cherry blossom forest, I've heard different info on the mobs that will spawn. Everyone says bees and sheep, but I've heard that the third mob is cows, or pigs, or now rabbits. It's exciting seeing everyone scramble to figure out the mechanics!

interesting decision to do a string pickaxe, I thought they were originally going to be doing a copper brush? edit: it was changed to stick copper feather like I thought

I like these features, but there's nothing more behind them. It seems like a lot of the features they're adding are pretty barebones. I hope they develop them further, but it seems like they should have already done that at this point. Archaeology seemed more developed when they introduced it as a concept than what we have now. For example, I think they could add some cool mechanics with the Sniffer, like being able to find more than 1 redundant flower. Also thought of an idea where the Sniffer would eat overhanging fully-grown Vines that touch the ground. It would be able to trim up a lot of overgrown areas that way and would give the Sniffer more utility. I mean, it doesn't even drop anything. Also would love to see an archaeology shard that would work like the Storage Barrels mod, allowing us players to store a lot of one item in a single space.

Imagine growing a cherry tree into someone’s base from the outside

here's hoping for a massive beetle as one of those potential ancient mobs

For how much effort it takes to find a sniffer and for them to dig up the seeds, the torch flower should really have a more prominent use other than decoration. Like a new type of dye such as flame dye, or even a new sign effect similar to the glow ink sack.

Hope they do more with the torch flower; it's pretty but come on, give it some interesting function. Let bees make a different type of honey from it, make them emit light, or attract mobs, or something.

13:40 You could for example, make a pot with 4 skull fragments (or fewer if it's against a wall) and have it be some kind of poison that with Redstone if broken would cause wither or poison to afflict all players within a certain range and depending on the items, if it can store items you could put arrows in the archery pot to give a subtle hint as to how to beat a puzzle instead of just a chest with a bow and arrow. With the prize pottery shard it could be something like a price hidden in a room of vases and only the one with the prize would contain the prize and once again with Redstone you could inflict damage on players that open the wrong pots. Many more ideas are possible, that's just what I thought for those 3. I'm blanking at the moment on the arms up shard though. Maybe I might think of something later.

funny this snapshot adds treasure hunting and dinosaurs and the most intersting thing added is a pink tree

It would be nice to be able to combine a regular sand block with an item in order to create a suspicious sand block containing the item

It‘s the year 2069. Mojang just released minecraft 1.87. We now have 120 types of wood. Still can’t move chests though.

That sea pickle idea looks PERFECT for a mini cactus design!! Also screw pots

suspicious sand has two loot tabels desert well and desert pyramid desert well loot table: 1 pottery_shard_arms_up, it is 3 times as likely as any other item in this loot table 1 brick 1 emerald 1 stick 1 suspicious_stew with night_vision, jump_boost, weakness, blindness, poision or saturation 1 rools so one of these, but pottery shard is more likely desert pyramid loot table: 1 pottery_shard_archer 1 pottery_shard_prize 1 pottery_shard_skull 1 gunpowder 1 tnt 1 diamond 1 emerald 1 rools so one of these, everything has the same chance

honestly i really love the sas in this one from destroying stories to bug reporting netherite hard and no fun allowed lol. honestly never even thought it was a bug big animals not getting kicked out when they grew, if anything i thought the bug was the big animals not coliding correctly preventing them entering.

Sniffers also sometimes drop Moss blocks on death, not only XP

Now we need different colors of those pink flower carpets on the ground. More flowers in general, more bushy but short flower patches, more tall flowers, different colors of flowers, flower fields 🌝🌝🌝

New snapshot, cool. Thanks for your video, ilmango.

This snapshot left me with a bittersweet taste

suspicious sand is like a new fishing ? nice. wandering trader should sell suspicious sand, that would be cool :D with/without loot table

Mango being passive aggressive about the clay pots is funny af

I think they should get pottery shards but they are a blank canvas to dye like banners. Still rare and add more customizability

I wasn't interested in minecraft archeology before, and by the looks of it that will remain the case.

It would be really fun to be able to put two tall flowers into the decorative pots.

i'd like for sus sand to be expanded to dirt, clay, gravel and soulsand; maybe netherrack and tuff, which would need chisels instead of brushes. maybe even something like sus sculk, but i think neither a brush nor a chisel would fit that, maybe a scalpel, furthering the quasi-lore that sculk lives somehow. the different sus blocks would have their loot-lists, like sus soulsand could mostly drop gold (maybe rings) but also seldomly ancient scraps or something soul relatet, also nether-pottery? sus tuff could give raw ores, maybe seldomly a budding amethyst? sus sculk could drop xp, or when used with bottles in the offhand bottles of enchanting, maybe echo shards or enchanted books; maybe there is a small chance that sus sculk releases a screech spawning a warden, so it could be very risky. also (this idea is not my own) players could be able to craft sus blocks with items of their choice for their friends to find, which i totally agree with also if one would include a chisel for tuff, one may also use it for mining, like you could use the chisel to get raw ore out of stone with the stone remaining, and maybe having like fortune 2 or something. i think there is a whole lot of potential

My question is: but with all these mobs with quite complex animations (warden, frogs, sniffer), don't the old mobs look outdated from this point of view?

I instantly had the idea to e.g. use the different signal strenghts from the jukebox to select pistonpolt intersections or something like that, so you always have some music in your hub

Mojang: a new type of sand that may have treasure in it! - ilmango: skip the treasure, let's see if is any good for redstone mechanics :D priceless!

the passive aggressive netherite comment killed me lol.

Cherry blossoms: very cool Archaeology: incredibly uninteresting

thanks, I'm also happy with the music system

2 sticks to craft a brush? are you telling me that a brush's handle is as long as a shovel's one? really clever mojang...

You can get overstacked non-stackables by setting the item in the suspicious sand with commands and then brushing it.

I think you should be able put multiple flowers into the big pot. And you could put different flowers into it. That would be cool.

I really hope we get the ability to put 2 tall plants in the new pots

I think that they missed a chance on how to make more of the pink flowers. Instead of using bone meal, it could appear if there is a block of cherry leaves above a solid block with an air block between them (or increase one stage if it is already there, but not full). It could work only for naturally generated ones and ones that come from growing a sapling, not ones manually placed by players, so you could avoid creating the flowers where you don't want them.

3:03 poor bunny stuck in petals hell

Some guy made a bugreport about us being able to put baby camels in boats. If you ever feel useless, remember people like this exist 😂😂

Oh wow. Hi :) Gonna watch the video now Edit: great update review as always. How does a sus sand store what you got the first time? Did we just get a tile entity that can be broken by a piston?

What if we could just make a bug report "crafting table doesn't work with hoppers" to add hopper support, lol

FYI there are Two Sus Sand loot tables.

I always hate it when developers lover the skill ceiling of a game on purpose

20:13 there is a low chance that the sniffer drops moss

now i see why chiseled bookshelves were add : to make and test the pottery feature !

Here's how I always wanted horse stats to work: with a simplified genetics system. Let's say that each horse has 8 genes that affect its speed, with an "Activated" allele and an "Deactivated" allele. If a horse has all 8 of its speed genes activated, it is max speed. If it has none, it has min speed. Thus there's 256 possible speed values (though this number could be tweaked.) This can also apply to jump height, and something similar for health. I used 8 as an example, but different numbers would be fine depending on how difficult Mojang would want it to be to breed a max stat horse. Breeding takes randomly selects which parent to inherit each gene from. So parents that are already fast are more likely to pass down more speed genes. But also, two horses with the *exact* same gene will never breed a faster horse. You could also add a small random mutation factor where occasionally children have random alleles instead of one from either parent.

one day, a snapshot will appear that says "the warden now gets scared by the sniffer" also @ 27:39, ilmango turned into saltymango.

That jukebox thing is so cool! Just worried about sound… people were already complaining about the note blocks, what are they gonna say about music! 😂

The bees reminds me again of how I want to do bee farms in the future- I was a bit worried I had just assumed that having 15 bees for 4 (all pointing into the same air/vine/fence block) would eventually sort itself outon its own so that the bees take orderly shifts, so I did the logical proof on the backs of some market receipts I had lying around, and even if all the bees initially leave the hives (in groups of 3) just 1 tick apart which is just about the worst possible initial state of the farm, it only takes about 6 minutes for them to start taking orderly shifts so that _(aside from maybe a few ticks or less when their shifts change)_ there's only 3 bees above the shared flower at a time. This only works when there's the extra 3 bees per 4-hive-module (so 15 instead of 12) though, with 12 bees you not only loose out on the hives always being in a honey producing mode, but also the bees will retain their overlapping shift schedules. The only thing left to test is what happens to that sixth honey level... surely it's wasted... this bothers me, but it might be easily fixable.

I have officially run out of spare sorters for my storage. I now get to design a completely new storage - and im both excited as i am overwhelmed.

The classic 2 steps forward 1 step back, self sabatage from mojang.

Yes! Finally! Time to make a music disc automatic juckbox or however it's spelled

I like how the cherry bark looks

I hope they make more pottery shard like just now I thought of Protector = a cat sitting Nightmare = three phantoms charging down Terror = a creeper Hoard = three figures (zombies) Power = a lightning Decay = wither's heads Beast = the dragon Sight = three eyes ( the elder guardians) Start = a tree betrayal = illager face This was just me typing whatever came at the moment, Mojang probably could do so much better

The cherry trapdoor looks like a crafting table

Your comment about the horse breeding / netherite cracked me up so bad :D

While we watch this, ilmago is designing a new tree farm.

As the sniffers need a bigger pen, this might be one of those cases were allay colection is the way to go. Or you can have the sniffers in a fixed position and feed the dirt on a timer.

Pottery should be mid-game shulkers. With the number of shards being the number of slots it can hold.

Curious what your stance is on the horses. I see no downside to it, considering horses are still garbage, even if you can optimize their stats now. I will await that video. I am also not going to knock the concept of the pottery/archeology right now. There information is still scarce on it and is subject to change or be expanded in the future. 28:18 The insane contrast between these 2 mobs is hilarious to me. Look how nice the camel animation is compared to the stiff horse in the back. Feels so outdated now.

With all the Asian thing we got cherry blossom and bamboo woods with a shame we couldn’t get a paper door kinda like how old Asian buildings have

No fun allowed bug reports ;-;

so if Iunderstand it right: Torchflowers have no use other than breeding sniffers or crafting orange dye, but for the latter, it's much simpler to use roses and sunflowers, since 2 tall flowers can be bonemealed as much as we want, and red + yellow = orange. I mean they're still a nice decoration, but that's it. Sniffers also have no use other than getting ancient seeds as far as I see, right? As for the changes to growing up animals in boats, what'd happen if we updated a world from an older version thatalready had a grown up donkey/horse/mule/camel in a boat?

"How to get sus sand in survival" Me: 👀

Making a suspicious sand as an opening for a piston door would be so cool

going to make minecraft spotify using lecturns now 😆

I also don't want them to patch the bubble column suspicious sand thing. The block would be nice as an extra building block (even though it's rare)

The archer and skull shards can be used to portray an ancient warrior civilization. The arms and prize shard can be used to tell stories of prosperity.

The cherry blossom biome should have the pink Moolip cow from Minecraft Earth in it as it really fits with the cherry blossom biome. Please make a video on this idea and tell MOJANG so it can become a reality.

I'd like to see Shears be used for the flowers. Too many things can simply be dropped by punching and these are so easily farmable that I feel it wouldn't detract from it while still adding some quality of life for players who don't want them every time they punch

C'mon illmango, I am most excited for the buff of the horse breeding! I play Minecraft on my mid spec phone, and using an elytra lags a lot. So I am really excited to be able to breed better horses!🙌

Arms up > Archery > Skull > Prize I feel like the story being told here is that of someone shooting another person with a bow and looting their items. I think we would need more shards to really tell out own stories but as of now it does allude to something that's not only in minecraft lore but is common in a lot of PvP servers. Also if you align them in pillars one could possibly make a story through that, I do wish there were more shards though, if they intend these to have some narrative purpose.

I hope they don't patch the sus sand item thing too, it's really not worth removing for the sake of making the sand unobtainable, you don't get anything out of it once you place it back down. it does make for good decoration though, and you can add some subtle texture to sandy builds too.

I'd love to see a cherry tree farm!

bro torchflowers give me some botania mod vibes

"String pickaxe" made me laugh more than i should

I do think the horse breeding was too hard to get an improved horse before, but I don't want it to be as easy as a 50% chance to improve.
