hey guys surfboy20 here today and we are
back today for a new video which is a showcase
video on all the new minecraft snap shots right now we are
17W15A and wow they have added a lot of new features
which I am really excited to share with you guys in case you where not aware of them.
now in front of me are the new blocks
and there is terracotta, concrete and concrete powder.
now terracotta was very controversial when it first was first released
people said it didn't match the game, they ugly they didn't see themsevles using them
and I have to agree I well I am warming up to them
I still don't see my self using to many of them
I will use the arrows for directing people
and I will use the black uh terracotta because
i think it looks cool um but besides that
i dont see myself using any of them
now above that that is the concrete and I am really excited
for the concrete one we finally get a flat solid color block
and so that is going to be very useful for building and I can not wait to build with it
and above that that is concrete powder
now concrete powder is how you make concrete you can craft it
using sand and gravel and if you touch it to water it will turn into concrete
so that is how you make concrete
and above that I have all the wool blocks
because the wool blocks got an updated color pallet
and so now they are much more vibrant and it's really really good looking
and also the banners above got an update and did the beacons
and so that is why I have the beacons and banners and wool there
and also when a sheep is wearing the wool it will also be affected
so I am really excited for that and if you come over here
this showcases the recipe on how to get concrete powder
and if i step on this pressure plate it will give me a light blue
concrete powder
and over here I built a mechanism to show you how concrete powder is made
into concrete so if it touches the water
it will be pushed over using some red stones so that is how you make concrete powder
or concrete turning concrete powder into concrete
and then over here
in case you didn't quite see what was going on there
if concrete powder touches water at all
it will instantly turn into concrete so that is how that works
and I think that is really cool so you can't auto harvest this
quite yet you can still semi auto harvest it but
you have to do some breaking of blocks
and then over here this is how you get terracotta
so you smelt down harden blue clay
and you use a fuel source
and then over here when it is done smelting it will turn into
light blue glazed terracotta and so you can place this down
over here and that is the terracotta block for light blue
which is right there
and then over here the new update features this
and so netherrack will burn instantly when you light it on fire
by flint and steel and so will magma blocks
magma blocks will not indefinitely burn just like netherrack
now you might be able to hear them is one of my personal favorite
editions they now added parrots and I think this is really cool
that is what their spawn egg looks like
so they added it into the miscellaneous tab right down here
there is the spawn parrot egg and you can spawn them
and they naturally spawn in the jungles in the signle player worlds
that don't have uh creative and that is where you can find them.
instead of getting the spawn egg
and the have five different variants if you come down here
you can see that they have the red one
which is my personal favorite
they have the blue one
silver
cyan
and green
so those are all the different variants of parrot
and if you come up here
you can see that they will dance
if there is a jute box playing a disc next to it
now they did used to dance and change color
but that was removed in this latest snap shot
sadly that was a really cool feature though
so they won't change color anymore but they will still dance.
so lets go ahead and stop that.
come over here you can tame the parrots
using a cookie and if you give them some cookies
they they will be tameand you can sit them down and also
be able to go on your sholder which is really cool
over here they have added colored beds
so you can get a white bed by just doing the standard
crafting recipe and it will give a white one and
inorder to get the colored beds you can just pair the dye
with the white bed and it will give you the different colored beds
so we can chose any of the 16 colors
and dye the beds those colors.
so it is not just red anymore which I think is really really cool
it will add a nice touch to building
and then over here they have made some changes with the stairs
so before
you couldn't place snow on stairs but now you can
and snow there it will just melt there because of hte light
and over here you can now connect glass panes
cobblestone walls,
and fences to the back of stairs
along with tourches so I dont see myself
using this too often but this is going to be useful for trying to light up places
if you want to put a light on the back of a stair
over here one of the biggest updates
in this snapshot is this
this is the new crafting so
as you can see there is a little book in the
left hand corner of the crating grid and in here
you can now craft all these different items
so say I want to craft a crafting table
using these oak planks I can click and
it will put it right there for me I can keep clicking (clicking noise)
and it will keep adding it or I can hold shift and click
and it will use all my wood to make all the crafting tables
it can so that is really really useful for new players who
don't quite know all the crafting recipies or what
there are so it will show you all the different items
that you can craft so I think that is really
really cool and useful for all the new players
and also us experienced players who just need help crafting
so this is a lot quicker
now the last feature that I am going to showcase
in this showcase video is the paintings
they did make a slight change to how paintings are chosen
to be placed down they will now pick the biggest
avalible area to be placed
so as you can see it is placing it down in the biggest area
so now it is a lot easier to get a painting you like
and I think that would be useful if
I used painting but I usually don't use that many paintings
but ya just a slight little change that makes it easier
to get the painting you want
so you can easily set up a block area
so it will only make the right painting
so say I want that painting I can set
up blocks right here and i will only get that painting
so I think that is really really cool even though
it is not that big of a change so
thanks for watching guys that is all that I have
for you today so that is all the different
features there is quite a bit of them actually
there is a lot of them that I didn't cover
because there is not really anything that I can
really show but I will go over it real quick
the replaced the achevment system with
advancements and so what this is is this is
basically achievements but just a little bit better so you can hover
over it and it will say the heart and story of the game
mine stone with your new pickaxe, construct
a better pick axe, smelt an iron ignot
fill a bucket with lava, so it is just a little bit more advanced
then the achevment system so there is also the adventure
tab where you can do all these advancements as well
uh also there is a slight change to the inventory
where uh they added saved tool bar so say
I wanted to save this tool bar you just save toolbar
with control and the then number and so it saved my toolbar
in so you can see my tool bar is the exact same up here and
and if I wanted to load it
I can empty my inventory and go right back
to it so you can have quick access to all these
different items uhh this be useful for when
redstoning because I know that you have to keep grabbing items
and so it will be a lot easier to just cycle through all
the diffferent things
and so ya I think I see myself using that quite a bit
uh but they did use the miscellaneous tab from up here
to down here now this will take some getting use to
for me because I got so used to the old creative menu
so it will take some getting use to but I think that is pretty cool
uh I think that is all for this video
that is all the new changes that they have made
