its perfect time to bring muddy pigs

You know... with the intro of mud - they could introduce a new food crop: RICE! That would be a cool thing to make mangrove swamp more liveable in a future update

Adding wheat or some sort of fiber to mud makes adobe which is much stronger and allows the mud to hold it's shape better. Dried or fired into bricks and it's basically rock. Pickax to mine makes perfect sense.

I feel like pigs should be able to do something with mud

Wattles. Adding grass or organic material to mud and drying it gives you mankind's first truly engineered building material... Adobe! We've been using it since like 5,500 BC and its still in use today. In california, there are adobe spanish churches that are still standing after 500 years! The Hopi people of arizona used adobe to build thier cliff dwellings... some of those are over 1,000 years old and still there. The grass provides a fibrous reinforcement to the sticky earth and makes the bricks far stronger in compression - allowing for multistory earth buildings. Just packed dry mud bricks tend to crumble in compression when used in walls.

I think dirt should become mud if water has a source block of flows over it for a certain amount of time. I would make all of the rivers and oceans that have underwater dirt become more realistic

As someone who really doesn't like using hopper minecarts for farms, mud really *is* revolutionary.

They use the wheat+mud in real life too, they have either wheat or dry grass on the mud and let it dry. They make some whole houses like that

The neat thing about farming sugarcane now with mud, is that you can also have water source in the mangrove roots. It wont need to be sealed in by other blocks. It wont ruin redstone. It can just be a slim and quick build to make.

4:45 because mud get stronger with wheat fibre. same thing happens in my village to make house we use rice stem instead of wheat.

13:14 I've got a concept that I thought was being referenced when he mentioned flowers can be placed on mud at 11:19. My mind didn't go to bee farms. It went to using _wither roses._ Plant a wither rose on top of mud, then have a mob walk into the wither rose, die, and have its blocks go through the mud block into the hopper underneath.

Can anyone calculate how much water the bottles would need to contain to make mud out of a dry 1m³ dirt block?

13:40 Agreed, I was hoping mud would count as "waterlogged" for farmland, similar to Mangrove roots

I find it funny that the Allay might be outshined by the mud block for collecting items.

12:10 Basically when you're avoiding lag. That's incredible!! (Mud)

Just feels like mud will change the existing way of building and also will get lots of clay

The sound of the mud when it breaks is so ASMR

The wheat adds fibers to give the mud block tensile strength. They do it with concrete, except the fibres are from something else than wheat. EDIT: Should have read the comments before I raced to give my two cents about the wheat and mud thing.

I feel like the stonecutter way will come a little later. It'd be silly to not have it in there.

Man I'm gonna love these series got some recommendations: 1. Ore guide 2. The F3 screen 3. Wither, Ender Dragon, and Warden

The wheat fibers going across the mud give it structural integrity (makes it harder to pull it apart) and disperse impacts along the whole material, making it way stronger once mud dries Random fact: the same happens if you mix a bunch of cotton into water and freeze it, it becomes a very sturdy material

12:10 This is just so revolutionary (as you said), it’s hard to set up minecart hopper collectors, so I’m very excited. I’ll welcome it with open arms.

YES sugar cane definitely needs to grow on mud without water nearby that is such an amazing idea

yooooooo sounds epic thanks for showing us this episode

I do not make automated farms ever, so seeing that we can set up a sugar cane or bamboo farm on mud, put hoppers under all the mud blocks, then just mow through the crops when they're done and everything will just fall through the mud into the hoppers is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET! I don't have to run back and forth collecting every little straggling little piece of sugar cane or bamboo! I can just go nuts with my hoe and demolish everything and it will all get piped into my chests!

could you cover spawn chunks and why they're so important? bc i try to look into it and its just confusing sometimes

So I know you tried putting packed mud into the stone cutter. But did you try putting mud bricks in the stone cutter to then make stairs?

What a cool way to stock up on emeralds: waterlog dirt to convert to mud use dripstone to convert mud to clay trade with stone mason to trade clay for emeralds use emeralds to buy shovel from tool smith (1 emerald = 1 stone shovel) use shovel to dig up dirt Wash, rinse repeat

Can't wait for this update!

3:12 sir, that saw is huge, fast, and can split Stone in the blink of an eye. If you put a flimsy mud brick in there, you'd get mud vapor back

I've never been this excited in mud hahaha

You can do an episode about enchanting. It's a top priority in a minecraft experience and has small and complex mechanics

I'm not so sure about sugar cane without water, just feels a little too simple. I didn't know you could use soul sand like that either, always something new to learn with this game.

You can make mud brick stairs with the stone cutter, you just need to put in the mud bricks instead of the packed mud, works for slabs, stairs and walls.

Hey Wattles, great video as always!! Quick question, did you try using a boat from a mud block to a "normal size" block? I mean, since it has the "bump" you mentioned maybe you can't pass to another block with a boat, just like path blocks. May be an interesting experiment.

Hey wattles thank u for share valuable information and having a very great season of survival series, I hope you name me in series a villager as the poggies

Man, you know a game is good when someone can make a video all about MUD BLOCKS and I get excited! XD

Thanks for making this update clear as mud!

You know, here's my question: Since mud is just wet dirt, will it act as a waterlogged block, like if a slab or staircase has water in it? Because then maybe you could just use these to border a farm with a maximum width of 8 blocks to irrigate it.

I'm going to make a mud/clay house because why not

Niiice and useful information and finally dirt has a good use now.

Really love the thumbnail!

wattles is the best survivor

Thanks Brother for the work

Nice video . good luck

do a everything on honey! (bottles and blocks and combs)

this is gonna be so good for primal builds i always wanted mud bricks in the game so this is exciting!

i love this series

I saw someone say RICE! Peas and beans also grow in mud and it would be sick to have a giant beanstalk all the way to block limit and a giant castle too 😱

yo the new skin looks really good!

I like how you’ve set this episode in a organized manner so that if I want to know something specific I could find it fairly quickly. The only thing that would make it faster would be time stamps. Great job!

Hi Wattles still love the vid's you missed out that the sugar cane and bamboo farms will also be lossless and still stackable now if you have the hoppers under it all the time.

Awesome, thank you 👍👍😊😊

11:15 Hoppers can pick up items through mud Mumbo Jumbo: Is this a new base possibility

Good luck on survival.keep it up.

Best blocks! Love them!

by adding the wheat to the mud it works like little bars holding the mud together and makes it keep shape and thats what people used to use for making things in the stone age and was called cobth

so cool to see this

Just want to say, really appreciate the use of the skin for the first half of the video 🙏

If been watching a lot of primitive building videos where these guys make amazing houses out of just mud mixed with hay and like bamboo doors so I am pumped to build my own earthen house in Minecraft!

I would love to see a how to take on an ocean monument in this series!

A nice Easter gift

Wattles should just talk about sculk next. Maybe after that Mangrove stuff ect. 2 more videos :)

Can you do Lecturns next? They have a surprising amount of uses that not everyone knows about.

please make a video about mob spawning mechanics + despawning (including despawning of dropped items)

You can't use packed mud in the stone cutter but you definitely CAN put Mud Bricks in the stone cutter! Plz like so wattles can see this and won't be sad anymore because there totally is a way to get cheap slabs, walls, and stairs!

This is the best mud infomercial I've ever seen

man so many road builds are gonna get up graded.

I absolutely love the mud bricks

You can put mud in the stonecutter! Just craft the mud bricks and then throw them in to get the cheaper recipe for stairs ;)

I never thought mud could be that interesting!

Cant wait to build a network of mud huts for my 1.19 survival build when it comes out

A good example of how Mud Bricks were made is in the movie the Ten Commandments where you see the Hebrew people stomping the straw into the mud to make the bricks for the temples.

13:20 item sorter made with blue ice and mud. That may work interestinly

3:11 u put packed mud instead of mud bricks in the stone cutter thats why u cant craft

I'd love to see one of these just on everything illagers/pillagers

An awesome mechanic would be if mud blocks were placed in a desert or in the nether, they eventually turn to clay as the moisture would be sucked out from the super dry and hot environment

Mud!

Happy Easter wattles (and wattles viewers!)

A video about the bricks family would be cool

Jacksepticeye inspired intro? I can't tell if it's intentional or not lol

I hope Mojang doesn't try to fix/patch this because it's just beautiful.

5:49 when you step on mud, it's wet, you sink into it, so I can see why it's two pixel deep, deeper depends upon liquid, earth ratio... like the snow, it's possible to sink into it... so with that in mind I think quicksand would work well in the upcoming archeology updates, looking for shards and you step in some quickmud/sand! and should be more abundant in the swamp biomes and mud lining the rivers, a normal dirt topping mud a few blocks below the water level, with some clay mixed through it... and if you mine these blocks the water turns the fresh dry block into mud... instant, like water, lava, cobblestone mechanics.

Please Explain everything about nether portals, how linking priority works etc

I think an Everything video on the End would be cool - or maybe specific ones like Defeating the Dragon, getting to the end, and end city raiding?

Wow, that might solve my issues with goat horn farm! They couldn't pathfind to me in a straight line when I stood on hoppers. This might be it!

I feel like you should be able to extract clay from this as well, as you can in real life. I would love for minecraft to add a plaster function. That you can craft plasters from clay, mud or loam and apply it with your hand. It would change the facing surface of the block you plastered into a plastered surface, the colour and texture depending on which materials you used(Like how flowers give different dyes.) It could even be that if you apply it with the hand it looks rough, and with a trowel(new tool for the game?) you could make it smooth(Like how you can debark a log with an axe.) This could open up a world of possibilties, especially if you want to build medieval style houses, want to cover up a wall you had to construct from ugly/non-matching materials in survival or want to camouflage that your cute looking house is in fact an obsidian fortress(Like how the Swiss camouflaged bunkers to look like cottages). In real life clay gets it's colour from the difference in mineral contents, where i live the clay has a high iron content and thus the brick turns a nice red(like in minecraft) but in other areas it's more grayish, brown or yellow. It would be cool if clay could be different in different biomes, so depending on what clay you use you get different coloured bricks and with those bricks you can different coloured brick blocks. In real life sometimes different colours of brick are mixed, at random or to make patterns: It's difficult to implemment that in Minecraft(There goes your computing power lol) but it could be added that if you try to make a brick block from different bricks you'll get a "mixed brick block", would look funky and open up a world of fun. Bricks have been with us for more than thousends of years, from the humble mudbrick to the industrial era red brick churned out by the milions. Minecraft needs more bricks! This update is a welcome one. :)

Cool vid

Any idea when 1.19 is coming out for both versions? Can’t wait for all these new items to build with! 😊

Make video on - Everything about all Skulk blocks.

Small dripleafs can be placed on mud there just has to be a water block above the mud (only 1 with 2 it’ll break it)

I think you should be able to till mud to grow stuff on it. If it is near a water source it will stay as tilled mud, but after quite some time it will turn to clay (slower than dripstone method) and need to be replaced.

Another use for the natural mud is how much it looks like clean gardening soil. You can set up little mud strips around a path or something, and grow trees, bamboo and flowers in a more cultivated way than with grass

Okay bees, not what I was expecting when you started talking about flowers on mud. I was thinking ohhhh wither roses to make another type of mob killer or something along those lines.

Mud to clay whoa nice. Although lush caves exist but still

Hmmmm, yes very educational, Everything you need to know about mud

Wattles j got my elytra for the first time but have yet to get mending. Any advice on how to get mending quick?

The face we can make clay now is awesome, it means you can get clay in super flat now

the hopper minecart thing may really cut the space and cost of my sugar cane or bamboo farm, its just needing the block to be constantly waterlogged for the sugar cane and that will be nuts.

Those mud bricks are going to be perfect brick roads to imitate medieval or ancient city road vibe
