Holy frick, the "splash potion of milk" is an amazing idea, even though the name is stupid. It's like the ultimate reverse uno card.
It would be good if you brewed it into a potion and have a name like "Potion of Nullifying" or something like that
No it can actually make a advantage a disadvantage really quickly like if you only have splash potion of milk in your in inventory andlike the other guy has strength and speed pots and you literally waste their work by splashing the milk on them so basically making other potions useless
yup@@ALTsquared
@@fighterthenighter2078 That is exactly what everyone is saying?
@@Alias_Anybody that it will make potions useless?
I think drinking empty bottles underwater could replenish your air, after you drink them underwater they become a normal water bottle. It's a small addittion that isn't really gamechanging but i think it could be cool to have.
I have a request for you my friend
incoming call: Serilum
How about when drinking a water bottle underwater, it takes away air from you. I think it would be funny.
i feel like the charged copper can also be used as an alternative redstone source, so you can make more complex redstone machines that has twists and turns which redstone cant do
Why isn’t that a thing, that makes so much sense because copper is supposed to be electrical
Copper / Redstone switch Junction
Imagine they added atone point electrical components like a new light source or somthing that you needed copper for
i thought that when a lightning strikes a rod it produces a signal
what if you could convert restone signal to electrical signal and vice versa. then the electric signal could go up vertical walls, unlike redstone
The milk one would be really cool to have in the game but maybe not as a brewable splash potion. Imagine using an enchanted golden apple in combat then your opponent goes "lol nah" and throws some cow juice on you
Juice? It sounds more strange then "his milk"
Kinda the whole point of it though
now why'd you describe milk like that..
Cow juice
And thank you for outing yourself for a gapple gobbler
Shouldn't sandstone be turned into sand with an anvil? And cobblestone into gravel? I think that makes more sense!
or maybe have flowing water erode stone and slowly gather it at the end of it’s stream?
yes it will be good idia
i always saw Cleric Villagers paying for rotten flesh as a bounty system. might as well pay the kind stranger for helping to keep the village safe, y'know?
32
That sounds fun and makes sense
My guess was they're taking this stuff and bury it, as in the dead.
10:59 only OGs know the stonecutter was in Pocket Edition before every other edition
I remember it's weird gear design thing. Looked neat, though.
frrr
Why do we always have choice between the three possible mobs? I wanted the Penguin, the Crab, and didn't really want the Armadillo, but any and all animals are appreciated for the Minecraft Disneyland zoo.
3 mobs with a whopping 1 whole feature is way too much work for poor old Moyang, give them a break!!1! 😭😭 /s
i whanted crab
@@Rati151 honestly wanted an armadillo. Would've been nice for a rainforest/desert update.
Based
@@thirdanimator3347I wanted the armadillo just for a dog update since those cute lil mf haven't had an update in like 12 years
I love the survival modpacks where you smash cobblestone into gravel and then gravel into sand. It makes sense and gives you renewable resources.
I really want copper to be actually useful, like coal, cuz the only thing they have in common is being super common.
Additionally, mining for copper became literally obsolete since copious numbers of copper blocks will be available in Trial Chambers
@@Octobris also drowns drop copper
At this point I just ignore copper ore, although I mine all coal I find. It's just that I don't find copper worthy of my time and inventory.
@@HalalKaibaLegacy true true
@@OctobrisSo is mining dark oak and birch trees obsolete because of woodland mansions?
skip the tutorial is the kind of guy to act like people get elytras immediately
5:46 my favorite implementation of that idea was a new item that was an item frame crafted with phantom membranes that was visible until an Item was put in it. this makes phantoms somewhat desirable.
That's a fantastic addition overall
7:50 they should also aggro on anyone who attacks one so that the sleepless one cant just have others deal with them
Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and died
@HalalKaibaLegacy D every tied Dr run daw rite ricci in front of the house and then I can be there to see 👀 tomorrow direction and
@@StevenStormcloak-oy6hz nahh
I think crafting invisible item frames would be a good idea imo. Like, crafting them could be a sort of bulk crafting where you would place upto 64 item frames into the crafting grid (in whatever spot you want to) with an invisibility potion in one of the slots, allowing you to craft a stack of invisible item frames
Honestly some of these are actually so genius, that it makes me question as to why they aren’t already in vanilla
I like the idea of copper and emerald armor, purely from a fashion angle. As to the rest of the ideas, idk. I haven't played vanilla in years, and this actually helped to update me on some of the new features. That double door one sounds interesting, but might get annoying in application. I tend to hide in my hovel, opening one door at a time, taunting spiders. Both doors opening would definitely backfire on me.
I reckon copper armor should be almost as good as iron and gets worse as it oxidises unless you wax it in a crafting table
All great ideas, I've always wanted a farming update, so when i want to do a peaceful play through, where i just farm and endlessly fill chests with produce and meat. Then, perhaps build a village of farmers and role play as a fellow farmer. It's nice to occasionally just chill
You can do that on bedrock. It's called peaceful. It's safer except for fall damage. I'm gonna make a world just for farming!
@@tammytours9177 Yeah, but the farming equipment definitely enhances the experience
@@MinisterRoy205 agreed. I like to start my worlds on peaceful get every set up build some sort of mob farm ( which never works very well) then turn back to normal
to be honest i don't think that the coblestone should turn in sand when smashed with an anvil but it would be better if it would turn into gravel
18:Bundles actually have a stacking feature, where they retain their size when put in another bundle. Also, not being able to put shulkers in shulkers is intentional, nesting too many can cause extreme lag and crashes.
With copper armour and tools it’d be easy to slot it in between stone and iron so that you need copper tools to mine lapis and iron.
I think ladders are used plenty.
Light level redstone lamps? Copper bulbs!
"Ever wanted to throw milk?" TF2 Scout mains:
For the invisible item frames, shifting and right clicking with a bottle of invisibility would probably be the best middle ground.
You know what‘d be fun? STRUCTURES IN SUPERFLAT
legacy :')
I think the cartographer villager should give you a decent amount of emeralds when you explore the entire map.
as far as the invisible item frame idea goes, I think the simplest way to balance those two extremes is to just have 8 regular item frames surrounding a potion of invisibility on the crafting table to give you 8 invisible item frames, like when dying concrete powder.
tipped milk arrow would be really cool and good for pvp cuz u only give it to your enemy but with a splash u might hit urself to
The horse with a cart is genius and is SO needed
It looks so modded and is definitely not needed xD
Definitely need a renewable sand option other than duping. Whether it be some sort of crusher from another block like cobblestone or a mob dropping it, it's desperately needed. It's one of the few base blocks that can't be crafted or farmed apart from decimating a desert. Piglins give renewable gravel, it's time for a solution for sand.
I just realized that the priest villagers want rotten flesh so they can bury their dead.
I like how you called out dispensers 3 times. You really seem to want that as a default feature.
21:09 Can't you already use shears to stop them growing?
only on cave and nether vines. and only on java edition, for some reason.
What about having lava flowing over sand makes it into glass
It would make more sense if lightning strikes did that instead
what if while you are wearing emerald armor in a village the villagers give you a slight discount
Yes let's give the guy wearing our currency a discount. Instead they should offer more things. Makes more sense than trying to sell them at a discount.
21:21 you can already stop them growing by clipping them with shears tho, atleast in java
not regular vines. it only works on cave and nether vines
make emerald armor give a small trading bonus but be about as effective as iron
Copper wires of some sort that can go straight up!!!!
currently the most important update would be: "The performance update" i mean really, my pc isn't the best, but it's not a toaster so why can i get 70fps at most
You don't need anything higher than 60 fps. The most i'd go for is 120.
@@TheRatLikerIs that supposed to make sense?
@@pokeyscorpion8224 Yes, of course.
@@TheRatLiker Well you failed miserably because that makes no sense. You say that anything above 60 is unnecessary, then immediately turn around and say that the highest you would go for is 120
@@pokeyscorpion8224 I'm saying that you only need 60 fps: if i were to go any further, I'd go for 120.
Fot the invisible item frame i like a idea i saw once of using phantom membranes to make invisible item frames
Fletcher table that You could do something like mix potion arrows would be also interesting.
The fact copper armor wasn’t included with copper is actually a war crime
Here’s an idea to bring the human mob back. Throwing a splash potion of weakness and feeding a golden apple to a normal zombie, to get you the human mob. Basically doing what you would normally do for the zombie villager to cure it, in order to get a bunch of Steves running around your world.
The moral of the story is..... Install Quark!
I use Quark so much I forgot most of these weren't vanilla. They just make so much sense it's stupid not to have them.
The copper items charging and making water dangerous is excellent
Java: We have a stick that can make armor stands! Bedrock: *Laughs in bedrock*
The lava cooking might be balanced if it sometimes loses food as its too hot
Like making a feature where periodically an item will become a burnt variant (ex. Steak-burnt steak, sand-ash, stone-blackstone, cactus-burnt cactus, etc). Food could only heal 0.5 bars when burnt and have a chance of giving poison 1 for 4-6 seconds and other items could become ash, which could be crafted into an ash block, and then used as a building block
This is part of the reason why I prefer bedrock. If you use an impailing trident, it does additional damage to any mob in water
Copper armour would be a W tho.
copper armor? how about copper plumbing. transports water, can attach to hoppers to transport items the pipe cant collect like a hopper tho only transport it saves server from needing hopper limits
0:54 People who unironically main mad milk on scout:
but can't you get infinite torches by having infinity on your bow?
Just make it so the placed torches don't drop anything if you fire them from a infinity bow.
I don't think Skip knows you can clip vines and glow vines with a shears to stop their growth lmao.
I don’t think shears work with the vines that grow on the sides of blocks, only cave and Nether vines
@@Ekipsogel I thought it's any vines? Maybe I'm remembering wrong 🤔
@@spiinniing well the vines on the side of blocks can spread sideways too if there are blocks, but maybe it works on the ones supported by other vines above.
it only works on cave and nether vines
Malisis's doors had the double-open-door feature as well. Even before Simple doors, but overall. I agree, opening one door in double doors should open/close the other too. I also agree with Fast Leave Decay and descriptions on Enchanted books too.
The milk splash potion would be a bit too op as you can just make god apples useless
That's kinda the point. It would make PvP more dynamic as you'd have to use additional potions/items for effects or not bother at all. You clearly don't understand what "OP" means if you think this is
God apples are supposed to be super strong. They didn’t make them uncraftable for no reason, so just taking a god apple that you need to find (in ancient cities more common that anywhere else but these are one of the rarest structures so it is balanced) and completely cancelling the effects (absorption, regeneration, resistance, fire resistance, …) would make the throwable milk just too good. In the first thought is seems cool but it would need to be balanced and not easy accessible. Ao maybe requiring a god apple to craft would be better.@@WhisperDeathray
@@folex_0793 Idea: Make it halve the duration of positive effects, and remove the negative ones. That way god apples aren't entirely useless. Also make sure that there is a cooldown to halving positive timers.
TL:DR install quark
29:53 Sandstorm. Like snow but with Sand
The sniffer should be able to find normal seeds as well, there's no reason for it not to tbh.
Modded Minecraft is awesome
I wouldn’t mind emrold armor, just for the lore
the horses/waggons/plows, lighting/glass, and the arrows would all be amazing additions to the game!!!!
This is all cool
Idea use a compass and other item to form of compass that would either direct u to a ender fortress, fortress, bastion, or other buildings.
I love copper! It would be great for armour.
Bedrock already has ARMour stands
If you look at the “bosses of mass destruction” table of elevation, it allows creative flight in a 7x7 area. So no need for the dragon egg
Honestly even with carts after the elytra horses will probably never be useful again
I think giants should be on the mushroom islands
Magical Mushroom Man.
Magical Mushroom Man.
Having each food item recover less of your food bar the more times in a row you've eaten it would be good I think. Doesn't give super important buffs or debuffs, but it does make it worth while to at least have two or three different kinds of food. Eat 20 bread in a row? Well, now the 20th might as well be sweetberries...
Doing 1 pushups for every like this comment gets It’s been ten minutes and 10 pushups already? Edit 2: oo dayum Edit 3: I don’t have arms anymore
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
have fun
Good luck 😂
wow, how did you get so ripped? i do one push up every time my comment got a like. jesus christ
@@Tempo_cat lol im not
The ladder functionality is already performed by weeping vines.
I think the bundle jumble would also end up utilized in multiplayer or other situations of trying to get a random selection for a player within the game. Like the redstone random item dispensers people making for a casino or group games, but in a simpler one-part form.
I feel the potion of milk idea is awesome 1: instead of the slow drink that you need to get rid of effects which in some cases is fatal you could have a instant release 2: pvp, someone has a ton of good effects and wants you dead, so, throw a splash of milk at them and BOOM, strength speed and resistance no more
Maybe bundles could be a less powerful dank.
Crusher block that turns stone to cobble or gravel, sandstone to sand, concrete into concrete powder, clay into clay dust, etc would be a minecraftesque way to handle the issue
8:26 I know you said “raw ore blocks” but I can’t help but hearing rawr blocks
Extra Utilities had the Sound Muffler that reduced all sound within range by 90% iirc. was quite nice for mekanism rooms lol
Would Love the Carts for Horse Riding and the Crates using and the Arms need for the Armour Stand, then yes the Fletching Table needing their Use but yes the Saplings being good, then Sniffer I would like more uses for it, then Yes I do like a Giant in the Game but with a Different Design but Yes Good Times, then Yes Vines needing some Work done with the Stopping, but also would like the Jack 'o Lanterns do need Face Designs good, then Yes the Trees Disintegration would be loved to be seen and then the Big Depths being put on, then Yes AFK using would be fun
The armor stand needs arms. Dual wielding swords would be amazing.
Easy Knights for your castle builds :o
If torch flowers glow they will live up to their namesake. If sunflowers are deadly they will live up to their namesake
👇1 HOUR GANG!!❤️🔥
we can actually stop vines from growing by right clicking with a shears but I think doing this feature with a fns might makes more sense
that only works on cave and nether vines
@@cornbreadbutcringey5723 no its working with normal wines too I tried it
Minecraft needs rope and hook 🪝 for the chain block, so people harbor builds.
I actually don't like the right clicking through the sign to open a chest, it would mess with the ability to edit signs by right clicking on them
That copper to water power transferring would be really useful in some mob farms
Honnestly 95% of these idea would really improve the quality of the game... If mojang were to listen to community feedback more that would be awesome !
The bundle is an OG we have been waiting for it for sooooooooooo long
You know, a Mini Dispenser that you can hold in your hands and use as a weapon would work like a shotgun, place it down, then mine it after putting in idk some arrows, fire charges, maybe even fire arrows, and it fires them with random spread but it fires them with M1 or Rt or whichever
We need armor and tools made out of every single item that can be crafted into blocks. Well, at least the ones used for the armor trims.
I'd like to be able to enchant anvils. Definitely with Unbreaking, but also perhaps Mending. Maybe breaking a Bottle O'Enchanting on one with a Mending enchantment could repair it.
If we fans had our way at the very least 75% of these things would already be in the game
The point of the loadstone is to get compasses into hot bars. I honestly think the last thing Minecraft needs is to get easier or to remove the purpose of a block
Honestly just adding a small dragon pet that can hang around on our shoulder and maybe even shoot a few fireballs would be enough to fix the dragon egg.
I’m definitely not the only one to have thought of this, but I think it would be nice if you could turn a copper ingot into copper wire. It’s use would be the following: laying down copper wire would extend a redstone signal for as long as the copper wire is uninterrupted. Basically, treat it like redstone dust, but allow it to hold its signal strength for an indefinite distance. For example, you could put down a torch and 3 redstone dust to get a redstone signal strength of 12, then lay down copper wire to extend that signal strength of 12 for as long as the copper is. This way, you can extend redstone signals without needing to incorporate tick delay.
Minecraft needs to hire you.
I would love a splash potion of milk.
They need to make chainmail armor craftable, and then make it so you can combine them with leather armor to make a dyeable armor that's comparable to iron armor, defense-wise.
What if emerald armor worked for pillagers like gold does for piglins. Where you could put on some emerald gear and pillagers become neutral and possibly open up some kind of feature added to outpost.
