Gonna set the stack size to 63 on my server

5:07 I believe the TNT didn't explode anything because it was technically _inside_ the block since the heavy core is less than a full block in size, similar behavior can actually be seen if you set off TNT on top of a slab. There's probably some use you can get out of this especially since you can now push a heavy core with a piston (in the last snapshot they would just pop off)

Makes sense that "Over-Overkill" wouldn't require the enemy to have enough health to take all that damage. Overkill implies doing more damage than enemy health by default, so the achievement name is acknowledging that the mace is capable of doing that to an extreme degree.

We mapmakers/datapack makers are eating well today! (And we're apparently also eating blocks today 😂) They're adding so much support for customizing integration with native game behaviors/mechanics/UIs from a datapack, and I *love* it! This is why, as much as I dread having to refactor my current pack for all the component changes, etc., ultimately I'm hyped and know it was a good idea. Doors are opening! (Now, uh, Mojang... custom data/components on crafting recipe *ingredients* please? 😁) Think about just one example of what we can now do with just the changes from this snapshot: we can make an actual Polly Want A Cracker scenario! Give the player, say, an apple, but give it custom model data and a custom name to look like a cracker. Then customize its food values to make it much less nutritional than an apple, and able to be eaten even when full. Then adjust the parrot tags so that it eats this custom item. And lastly, add an advancement for when feeding the parrot your custom item, so "Polly Want A Cracker?" pops up when you do it the first time. All fully integrated into standard Minecraft UX/behavior. And that's just a tiny example; there's so much more that can be done now! All those emerald pickaxes people have been begging about for years can be added by a datapack now, too: you can make a custom recipe using emeralds, have it give you a pickaxe with custom model data and custom tool properties and a custom name. Boom, done; YATT (Yet Another Tool Tier) added and integrated instantly.

I can't believe they made the "eating non food items" meme a possible thing loll

2:21 that is certainly a way to activate redstone

2:24 Ah, they watch Mumbo Jumbo

My favourite part about this snapshot is them finally splitting up that map icon sprite sheet, that's been years overdue. I'm pretty sure you can now create animated map icons as a result? Currently there's only two things left to split - experience orbs and moon phases.

7:23 Its like they saw the memes of players eating random stuff and thought "yeah, lets add that"

TNT on a Partial Block hasn't destroyed blocks in quite some time. DocM made a little contraption for this back in Season 6 in the Shopping District, if I recall, using an ender chest. Ask him!

I also think it is safe to say that the advancement "Who needs rockets?" is a direct reference to Team Fortress 2. In that game you can use rockets to blast jump just like with the wind charge.

"Who needs rockets?" is such a great name for the advancement. I just think of Tf2 when I hear that lol.

Everytime I see those technical changes on datapacks, I renew my hope for the legendary mod api on java. Everything is getting more and more data-driven, but we still lack the ability to add new content.

these quality of life features are really promising. We all thought mojang would never have a maintenance update because its not flashy new content to sell more copies of the game, but all the features being added between 1.20 and 1.21 really show that they have been listening to their veteran players.

I hope they add a stacksize gamerule too, but if they don't there will definitely be stacksize datapacks out there!

The mace advancement is great. I was scared that they would limit how much damage you can do with the mace after seeing that you can one shot wardens and ender dragons, but seeing as they made an achievement for 50 hearts it now feels a bit more unlikely to get nerfed.

9:04 Personally hearing the ability to alter stack size for items I would say is perfect for certain items good example water bottles. My reason: Why I say water bottles because since it's not a potion yet I feel like it should have the ability to stack up to 16 just like bottles of honey stacks. It would greatly help people that make mud farms/auto brewers. As well as shrink the amount of storage needed for just bottles of water especially for dropped loot that relate with piglin's trading and fishing

i love that the mace brings use to the leaping potion

i don't think the explosion thing is going to get patched, that's been around forever. it also applies to ender chests. explosions originate at the bottom center of tnt, so when on ender chests and heavy cores, that's inside a blast proof block. explosions ignore actual block bounds and consider the full block to be that blast resistance, likely to prevent them from causing even more lag due to more sophisticated calculations.

...It's just struck me that lava-logging doesn't exist. We should totally get that added. Aside from general aesthetic purposes, it'd be great for parkour challenges.

7:26 PhoenixSC moment right there

I really really hope that the max stack size can be increased further, to like, 512 or 1024 or some other power of 2 on that scale. when terraria made all its stack sizes 9999 it was so freeing and it made inventory management so much better, with all the feature bloat and so many different types of stone i really think minecraft would heavily benefit from increasing the stack size further, and maybe making it into a gamerule that you can change on world creation.

CUSTOM STACK SIZE???

As someone who makes data packs, this snapshot feels like heaven.

It is a good day for the datapack community

Well that's a borscht/beetroot soup buff, if I have seen any. Finally we can have a stack of 99 soups and 99 bowls, to keep after you drink it all up.

The heavy core prevent tnt from damaging other blocks is a shared mechanic with the enchanting table. Probably not going to be patched and has a lot of interesting uses.

Always glad to have Xisuma keeping us updated on snapshots!

Thank you for the update!!

4:55 the heavy core should be launched when TNT blows it up and deal damage on impact - like a cannonball.

the more they drop the more excited i am!!! this is what updates are supposed to be- little information up front; a barrage of new, unexpected features to follow up during development; and a smooth, polished, complete addition that fits naturally into the game!!!

that is amazing, custom item creation is something i love and its been expanded a lot

The Blowback advancement sounds like it would be hell, especially on Bedrock. Return to sender is already hard enough (granted the wind charge doesn't destroy blocks and the breeze doesn't fly out of render distance every 2 seconds. Also 8:05 I so fucking braced myself for him to eat the arrow.

Thx X love the vids

I'm pretty sure you only need the final hit on the breeze to be a deflected wind charge. At least, that's what the wording seems to suggest.

I really like the direction they're going with datapack updates lately All I really need is key press detection and being able to add motion to players, then I think I'm happy for life

Love the vids ❤

What a great xisumavoid video!

It didn't get mentioned here, but there's also a new item component which lets you set whether or not an item is resistant to fire. Any item can be a netherite item now!

Haven't had much time to watch your hermit craft videos but I always enjoy watching the snapshot videos.

Woah! So many new additions, thanks for dumbing it down for us, I hate looking at it myself 😅

Incredible🎉

Yay! I do love me some new advancements.

Really cool!!!

Thank you, X, for always bringing us freshly baked update vids ❤

I think it'd be funny if heavy core also behave like anvil, like you can drop it to deal damage 😂

That was awesome

yooooooooooo always love to see a new explorer map thought mojang forgot about them, hopefullt we also get one for ancient citys.

Custom stack sizes seem interesting. And I do like the new advancements so far

As a map & addon/mod maker, seeing the new triggers and parameters did make me want to go on a field day for my next map

7:30 phoenixSC fans finally have their validation

If I had to use a fitting quote for "Crafters making Crafters", I'd go with: "Shut me down. Machines making machines." - C-3PO in Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones

I love these videos ❤

found you on minecraft forum, in a video posted like 8 years ago, i'm suprised that you're still here after all this time tbh, good job ❤

Hi xisuma! Wanted to share a fun fact. Combining this update's ability to give any item eating capabilities, as well as tool capabilities AND durability, as WELL as the last snapshot allowing us to create custom recipes with Components built-in, we can now actually create a mod in vanilla (when you add a resource pack too!). An example of this being Farmer's Delight, a mod which adds a plethora of foods to the game. Fried Eggs and Slices of Cake come to mind immediately. As well as this, we can make new armor types a thing. I was already working on "Copper Armor & Tools" but you could make Coal armor, Wood armor, really anything you could want can be created now!

misode's pfp is how i feel watching all these new features. constant fish-eye effect.

Let’s gooooo! 😂 seriously though , thank you X for all your hard work, keeping us updated on these amazing snapshots!

The tnt on the block also happens with any non-full block, as the tnt is technically inside the block and the raycasting gets affected

I'm so hyped for the increased stack size!! I really hope that it can be added as an option during world creation. 🤞

That thing where the TNT didn't destroy the terrain has been in the game forever. It happens if the TNT is occupying a block that can't be blown up it shields the blast. It's the same mechanic that allows TNT to destroy blocks underwater if you put sand or gravel on it. If they added the ability to put one tool's exclusive features on another, stripping logs, laying paths, tilling farmland, etc, then you could theoretically create the ultimate omni tool that can mine anything and do anything you need a separate tool for all in one! Maybe the tool specific block loot table could act as silk touch for anything you want to drop itself (calibrated skulk sensor, bookshelves, ect) but you could still have fortune on it for ores? Question: How would the hoe/shovel abilities work on the same tool? Answer: Use it on any dirt it creates a path block. Use it on a _path block_ it creates farmland. Stripping logs and shearing animals doesn't mess with the other functions.

Woah inline predicates that is cool maybe that was already possible before but nice

gonna be fun

Honestly tho, having a block we can hide under a tnt explosion to keep explosions to only doing damage to entities sounds so cool idk if the rarity of the core makes it a good choice for it tho.

Surprised this took so long! The stacks I mean.

do you think you could make a stick have the same properties as a bow, and make it shoot things like fire charges? it would be a cool magic wand!

Heavy core seems to have the same level of blast resistance and mining time of obsidian but pickaxe level is requiring netherite pickaxe

hmm, I wonder if this means along with potion-tip arrows they'll be introducing special-function arrows as well? Broadhead arrows to break shovel-blocks (maybe called something else given the RL arrow is one that does extra damage) dispenser arrows that dole out rope for a temporary ladder or tightrope bridge across something Cupid arrows for forcing villagers into love mode, and pacifying mobs aggro'd on the shooter (in PVP, I could see this being a way to prevent someone from attacking you)

Seeing the achievements makes me so excited! It means the trial chambers should be coming soon!

the heavy core blast resistance thing is a feature since very long, just try the same with stone slaps, they will get very low damage too

I think the advancement for Crafters Crafting Crafters is a reference to Mumbo and his obsession with the autocrafters a few months back

I think the tnt works that way because it’s the first not full block that has high explosion resistance, but to know if it’s really that you could try to make a slab, trapdoor or carpet with lots of explosion resistance (Or in more complex words, since the Heavy core isn’t a full block, far from being one actually, the TNT hitbox is able to get inside it enough, that whenever it explodes, when the game would calculate the damage done, it all gets absorbed by the Heavy core, like how covering a tnt in bedrock would decrease/stop its effects)

I can't wait to see what randomizer datapacks will be like

Custom stack size oh yes! Even if they don't implement it I'm sure there will be a vanilla tweaks datapack!

Man, it's Christmas for map makers! I'm so excited

Yoooo finally custom stack sizes

Honestly, I just wanna try setting the stack size to 1 to everything for a tricky challenge I feel like if you only got a maximum of 1 thing from crafting recipes, that would mean you would need SEVEN LOGS for a single wooden pickaxe, and that's over a FIFTH of the entire inventory

1:40 Most challenge (purple) advancements award XP, including Over-overkill (which according to Wiki awards 50 XP). You didn't receive the XP because you were in Creative mode when you got the advancement.

I think blocks like cobblestone, netherrack, deepslate, dirt could benefit from having a higher stack size in the vanilla game

This is great news for custom content

First 5k was something I never thought I would get in a Xisuma vid.

the TNT thing works for slabs to(maybe other non-full blocks)

It just dawned on me that all these new commands and the ability to customize is what they meant during minecon by saying they were implementing tools to make development faster and easier

I hope heavy cores neutralizing explosions doesn't get patched, could make TNT cannons a lot safer to work with

i hope the custom stack size thing hints towards a future inventory management update, because we really need it..

WOah custom stack sizee

5:15 I think this also happens with ender chests

I cant wait for 1.21 ekk!

Finally, being able to change the stack size is something I wanted to years. Now I don't have to worry about some small nonsense.

You eating that diamond block reminded me of those cursed Minecraft videos. Now eating stuff you shouldn't be able to eat is possible to do without having to use a resource pack.

Now they just need to add a bastion remnant map and an ancient city map

Being able to change the stack size makes me hope this is the start of the inventory update

I can see how well custom stacks could prove to be useful server runners and map makers

I really hope that they make the wind charges compatible with the elytra in the game instead of rockets you can use wind charges as well.

the changes to the inventory make me so hopeful that theyll add a attribute to modify your inventory space, if they added that it would be the best update i think

kinda wish they up the stack size limit to 3 digits, it can be supported internally

Sounds like it might be wrapping up for 1.21

“For science!”

I'm assuming the custom stack size impacts non-stackable items to be stackable? That would be amazing, if so. Finally going above the default 64 (or worse, the dreaded arbitrary 16) is a blessing

You could use the heavy core for a prank. Put heavy cores in the floor with tnt on top. It wouldn't damage anything but it would scare them.

I find it interesting that they are naming an advancement in reference to an old achievement that no longer exists.
