Showcase | Minecraft 1.12 Snapshots

(techo music playing)

hey guys surfboy20 here today and we are

back today for a new video which is a showcase

video on all the minecraft snap shots right now we are

17W50A 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.

in front of me is the new blocks

and there is terracotta, concrete and concrete powder.

now terracotta was very controversial when it first was first released

it didn't match the game, they ugly they didn't see themsevles using them

and i have to agree well i am warming up to them

i still don't see my self using them

i will use the arrows for directing people

and I will use the black terricotta 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 that is going to be very usefulfor building and i can not wait to build with it

and above that is concrete powder

not concrete powder is how you make concrete through crafting

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 now they are much more vibrant and it is really really good looking

and also the banners above got an update and 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 read 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 harden blue clay

and you use a fuel source

and over here when it is done smelting it turns 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 over here the new update features this

and so neither block will burn instantly when you light it on fire

by flint and steel and so will magma blocks

magma blocks will not infienently burn just like nether block

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 jungle in the signle player world

that dont have creative and that is where you can find them.

instead of getting the spawn egg

and the have five different variants if you look here you

will 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 and 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 cookie

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.
