Hey everyone! We had made a patch for this on wednesday that removed the crystals that were required for teleportation. It made it a lot simpler and less grindy. Unfortunately it seems like that had not made it into the video but no worries! If you have any suggestions, please let us know in the comments below. We will be checking them. Also thank you ecko for the video, we appreciate it and the feedback :D Patch notes: -The warpstone travel has been nerfed, the cost of travel is now free. -The crafting recipes of the cosmetic warpstones have been nerfed, they are much easier to craft. -The level required to unlock new warpstones have been nerfed, the first unlock cost 7 levels and scales by 2 till level 30.
Thanks for the update, I'm glad you have taken on the feedback itself. Is there no way to make warping cost XP levels?
I won't be using this add-on, only because I'm already using spark portals. That said, I think it would be nice to have a "portable warpstone" to warp to any warpstone without having to place one down. Could even have 3 tiers for those. 1. Consumed when used 2. Not Consumed(can't stack) 3. Not Consumed(gives "warp-back"* option) *warp-back saves coords of last time was used on the item and let's you go back there. The crystals could probably even be repurposed for this idea, minus the dragon egg. Anyways I do like the add-on, makes for a good alternative to sparks portals and adds a bit more challenge to fast travel with unlocks.(though at first might of been too much challenge)
Yeah with all due respect the portal option is what I’m going with because the only thing you do is add diy because if you wanna go to the nether you need obsidian anyway, and you can make it infinitely and it costs no XP!!
Wait is dat true
@@dragoboy09 yes
Don't quote me on this, but i believe mythicus is removing the need for the warp crystals entirely, so it should be significantly simpler and cheaper, thankfully. Im not a big fan of the ammount of exp required to unlock more stones, but i get it tbh, it would feel too op to be able to have however many instant teleport points without any work, makes it feel more paced.
This guy gets it instant teleportation is actually op especially in a game like Minecraft. This just makes it more satisfying to grind to get it. It works for making mod packs with good progression. This pack is not for kids because they just want something without any grinding.
@@Blaze8122My thoughts exactly
Like I mentioned they did good but executed it completely wrong in my opinion
@ecko they completely removed the crystal system the day after release in a patch. I'm so glad they did because it was insanely expensive for no reason. Had the crystals at least provided several teleports, it would have been better than the original system. Wish they'd remove the wand now.
Is there a new update for it ?

Pls add me to uour friends list my gamertag is MikecraftJ
Yes, great review. Ive made my choice with this one
😅
Yeah 100% 😂 can you do the dino one next
Yes plz keep doing this. It's actually great to see what to expect and find out stuff if I never figured it out before
I'm really happy with spark portals, it works very well and it's customizable. This add-on makes something like fast travel a chore when it's supposed to be convenient. I'd advise people to go with spark portals.
this comment section is filled with bots, i wish KZhead actually did something to prevent bot comments, their moderation system is awful, like it's so easy for my normal comments to be removed and or me get shadow banned, but it doesn't even really stop the bots at all
I try my best to block them, these bots are much smarter than others though.
@@eckoi appreciate it Ecko, and I understand.
I totally agree, the recipes are way too complicated and expensive! I don’t see the need first so many different types of waystones. Glad you reviewed this because I expected it to be similar to waystones I have seen in java mods. I was going to get it but not after seeing how it works. Keep up the amazing content! Hope you are having a fantastic weekend! Take care.
I disagreeinstant teleportation is actually op especially in a game like Minecraft. It doesn't have to be like java This just makes it more satisfying to grind to get it. This pack is not for kids because they just want something without any grinding.
Maximum number of waystones is only 30. Spark Portals is 160. The only good it does is that it’s smaller and looks better.
Was waiting on this one for a review so I'm glad I did.
Ecko I do see some opportunity for that add-on and maybe some base traveling as well and I can understand that making some of the way stones can be expensive and unlocking more way stones should be less expensive but overall I think that u did a good job as always
I appreciate you showcasing this addon because I was going to buy it
Question was there other add ons in the game but got removed? I could've sworn there were
Where is reaction on Herobrine revenge?
This should be a feature in the actual game 😅
Shhh..! Mojang defender lazys going to bombard you because you complain🤫...
I don’t know man I just feel like it would be way to op and would make other transposition methods useless
@@mthaylanprogames3689Bro what?!
@@theprincemonster7575 nah, dont use them! Its só simple! Its like: "bro i hate orange color! Other colors exist!" Them just FKING USE IT?! ITS NOT A OBRIGATORY FUNCTION/USE!
@@theprincemonster7575 oh god! They are coming!
check out the basic machines addon
By vatonage? Ngl I really like the idea of it but never played it because it was unrefined which made it really confusing.
I would love to have this add on over the portal on but only after they fix it to be easier and cheaper to use until then I'll only use the portal add on.
You should do the celebration food add on it has more then food and the book/guide is perfect
I’d love to see the new paleocraft add on or the computers add on. I’m loving your add on review so far! Please keep up the good work.
are u still reacting to things? havent seen u been reacting to black plasma studios new videos (squared media) i think we would love too see those again after almost idk few months?
yes I'm just a little behind atm :)
If this would have come out at the same time as spark portals and didn't require the crystals then it would have been a head to head race but at this point it's not even a question
I will have to disagree with your claims with some of the warp stones being too expensive because all of them work the same it is just a cosmetic differences which personally seems okay you could just use the basic one for an entire world. If they made you use the end crystal one to teleport to the end then i would call Mega BS. Im on the fence for the EXP unlocking and the crystals. I agree that teleporting to wherever you want without any cost or restrictions is too OP but having EXP restrictions to it is too precious of a resource to use and hard to get a tons of for this add on to work good for an average player for that they need to change that. The crystals seem fineish to me because again teleporting without any cost is too overpowered but the crystals take up space especially if you need to go through multiple dimensions transporting items across. While the Creative crystal is pretty okay because it removes the use of the other 3 crystal being needed for going through all dimensions and its super hard to make so it is the last thing you would make in a survival world where you have completed everything so now the world is your oyster that you could do anything in. But yeah removing all crystals and exp restrictions is a must do but have to be replaced by something else.
as someone who recently has been playing alot of modded Minecraft, teleporting with no cost is quite overpowered. Usually these modders would use XP as the price, the further you go the more it costs. I guess it's just trying to find the right balance, for me the crystals just isn't the right way. (they removed them now btw)
i‘m just sticking to the sparkles portals add-on, thanks😂
they updated this so there’s no more crystals and they changed the recipes, still need the wand but at least theres no crystals
Can you put addons on regular survival worlds? And is there a limit on how many addons you can do?
No there isn't but your world could get laggy
Anymore than 12 is not a good idea from my experience
Honestly would keep it between 5-8 if you're on a console and not using a realm any more than that resulted in a lot of game crashing for me.
@@LluviaAva you can do it on a realm but it’d be laggy?
It sounds like this add-on is really cool, esthetically, like the warmstones all look really cool and may definitely look nicer than having portals littering your base. But even though they look nicer and are more compact than a portal, many people are able to make really amazing-looking portal rooms to compensate for that. The price for the add-on itself isn't too bad. But the cost of making many of the warpstones as well as the crystals is far too much. I was looking forward to this add-on, but now, knowing its faults, I'm not ready to buy it now. Thank you, Echo, for all of your videos and reviews! They are so very helpful!
I like all the add-on
Love your add-on videos! Do you know if it's possible for someone to make a spawn radius add-on that could be available in the marketplace, or should I stop hoping?
Anything is possible, all depends on what would sell or what is in high demand
This does seem complicated. Sad because i was excited when i saw the add on
Thankfully I got it after the recent update, cause the version in this video would make it way to expensive to use.
also i agree, i don't understand why they thought it was a good idea to overcomplicate it, even after the fact that the add-on costs money
What so add-ons that cost money should be simple?? That don't make sense
@@Blaze8122yes it does, ofc if ur paying for an add-on, it should give more than the add-ons that's given for free, but not overcomplicate it. why should a payed add-on be over complicated?
@@IrisThatOneGothMf why can't a payed addon be over-complicated? People like things that make them think and grind. It's YOUR choice if you want to buy it. All those technicalities could be what specific people like.
@@Blaze8122 making something complicated is one thing, making it over complicated is another, alot less people are likely to buy this than any other add-on that does the same thing. this is insanely absurd.
Does anyone know, where can I upload my own Minecraft maps? What apps can I install in order to upload them to the public?
I just want update 1.21, it's really a great update, but I wish Minecraft would change some simple things like adding the left hand like Java and making the dispenser block put the armor stand instead of throwing it this will give more possibilities for building within the Bedrock, because Java requires powerful devices and I wish they had added a beekeeper job as well and most importantly of all, update the End dimension. I mean, for your sake, guys, the End dimension revolves around killing the dragon and obtaining the Elytra only. 😊😊😊
I like the idea of the more compact warpstones. I LOVE the Sparks Portals but the problem I have with them is their size. Effectively being repurposed Nether Portals, they essentially require a 4x5x1 space for each portal and at least 20-28 blocks of the same color for them to be useful. The blocks develop ornate designs after activating the portals with makes it a shame to just make the portal inside of a wall. These smaller warping devices would make for a perfect "field waypoint" that I would feel doesn't require the ornate portals like a settlement, base, or special location. These warpstones are a great idea, but just need to be simplified. I'm not against what I assume the intention of the creators was, in that, the ability to teleport in a game designed to be huge and expansive should require some progression to utilize. This is a little much though. Some tweaking to make things less tedious and expensive would make this so much better. I also wouldn't be against the warpstones requiring some kind of "juice" to function, like Xp, with further warping distances or interdimensional distances costing more (maybe just the latter). This XP Cost combined with the XP Crystal Bank or World Utilities (for the Spawner Wrench to move Mob Spawners to a more favorable XP Farm location) might actually be pretty cool.
I'm certainly not against what they tried, It's more of why make something that's meant to be easy super hard and confusing. Anyways they brought an update to it so hopefully QOL is much easier. I know many of the addons I have reviewed have had updated, maybe I'll go back over those changes one day.
I reallly like the designs for the other warpstones. But they definitely shouldn't make it super expensive especially if it's purely cosmetic. Also, i like that exp is involved to not make it too op because ngl, no normal player is gonna use more than 6 of these and it's free use afterwards. They could've also went the java route and make it so that each teleport requires exp that scales with the distance your travelling but it's probably a bit too hard to code into bedrock. The wand and crystals can definitely be removed or made cheaper/inf use. So overall it's not bad, not the best but it's aight, if it was a paid marketplace addon 😐. There's a waystone addon on mcpedl that you could uhhhh.. download for free that isn't crippling to your wealth.
PORTALS addons are better honestly yeah you need obsidion and ender pearls but pretty easy compared to warpstone addon.
why don't they require emerald blocks or emeralds instead of totem of undying? emeralds fit with villager warpstone
That have been fixed. They are much more useful now. No crystals needed.
Do the celebration foods add-on I would like to see what it has to offer.
Coming up next 🫡
@@ecko than the paleocraft one please
@@Ninjah853 yes
Got it so portals
I think it is really cool
I'm a bit saddened by the fact you can't BREAK warpstones I crafted one and placed it just to look at it and then I wanted to place it in its actual location but no matter what I did, it would not break.
Cool
You should make a video for the dinosaur add on
It’s coming soon 🔜
Other players can use your place warpstone
I am confused how you rate your add on videos, not enough and to expensive obviously not great, but not too expensive and has a lot in it or a descent amount and yet its still not great? Or do you rate it in a survival way
right now I base it on a few factors, Price for what the addon brings to the game, Survival if it's something that has clearly been made to enhance survival (or creative) If it would be good for SMP or Multiplayer, how it would work in a pre-existing world.
Let's be real- Stargate addon
I dont know what the difference is between your version and mine, but there are no crystals and all the crafting recipes are a lot simpler and easier to get
Literally just use the spark portals one it’s leagues better
Pls continue reviewing free addons😭😭
I don’t want it to cost anything so Spark Portals got it right.
I’m watching this because me and my friends are starting a Minecraft server and we want some addons… I’m paying and I would like to know if it’s worth the price..?
It’s good but much more complicated vs spark portals
@@ecko soooo??? Are you saying I should do the portals one???
I'd rather pay for Spark Portals than this.
This Addon doesn’t really need to exist because of spark portals
Are there any Add ons like this, that are better than this?
Spark portals
I bought spark portals instead
Unfortunately for me. Sparksportals beat them to the punch. I see absolutely no reason to get this besides the fact that the transportation catalysts (warp stones) looking cooler and not being a big bulky portal. But its just not enough of a change for a whole new addon for me. I hope people get it though. Because it genuinely looks like a great add-on. And the fact that they updated it so quickly is a testament to that.
1.20.??

@@Hyperflamee8 nice👍
I personally like this addon a lot. I like that you have to unlock more warp stobes as you go, it adds a level of progression. Idk what warp crystals are. Ive been playing with this addon for days and have bever heard if them and can warp as many times as i want without them. The thing with spark portals for me is that i dont like the way it looks. I like that with warp stones, you can just place them in the town square and it will look good
I like the progression too, just the price was a little high in terms of XP (which they changed)
I love the visuals of the warpstones themselves, but I do agree that the execution is terrible.
I think addon creators should be more creative and not basically copy addons already published in the marketplace.
I disagree, competition is a good thing if they can do it better why not try.
@@eckothat is true and could also push them to make it a better addon since it could compete against others I didn’t even think of it like that
Just build a enderporter scrubs
Some people have no clue what that is and some would rather spend a couple dollars to do something alot easier like getting the mech mod to mine out areas alot easier or the spark portal mod to teleport several thousand blocks and the farmers addon to bring more food options and role play opportunities or even the tnt modto have more fun and chaos erasing villages with a single explosion and probably paleo craft for the excitement and maybe the mutants mod for a proper challenge
Hi
nah I prefer sparks portals.
W❤🎉
Honestly the warpstone addon is a rip off of the portals just more expensive. I wish one of the developers would add more dimensions to an addon.
Im not sure which one came out first but the warpstone mod has been a thibg for a cerry long tume in java edition.

And Better On Bedrock has free waystone/warp stone and can have 25 locations for free 🥲 and it’s a whole mod pack which is free
