Episode 161: Minecraft 1.19.3, a Minor Version with Major Features
In this episode, DuDs and Jimbo discuss the new features in Snapshot 22w42a/Preview 1.19.50.21, for Minecraft 1.19.3, these include experimental features for Minecraft 1.20 which are available through built-in experimental data packs (which Jimbo was seemingly unaware of). These include Bundles (Java only), Hanging Signs, Chiseled Bookshelves, Bamboo Wood, and Camels. In addition, this snapshot reworks the Creative Inventory tabs and adds a new “Panorama Scroll Speed” accessibility option. Plus, We have three listener comments; the first is from Jronman asking which update we would like to see after an Inventory update, assuming 1.20 is the Inventory update (which we now know it's not). The second is from JesseW asking about adding more ancient mobs in the future now we are getting the Sniffer, perhaps a more hostile one similar to a raptor or T-Rex? The final question is from BooN asking what we think of the new Bamboo wood type and if other blocks should get a patterned version. Also, they look at ways to fix the winner of our Mending Minecraft vote for Structure of the Week.
