How I Fixed (some more of) Survival Minecraft 

Yeah and if you find buddy in those biomes he would “ask” if you would like him to trade you certain items since In cannon the player is “late” to the world so to expand the asking aspect, villagers would ask for things like more light or better fences and more houses and more. But that would make a nice add on

So you wish for 'Enhanced AI' mod, oh boy. That one sure is something.

@@silver1340I don’t think they meant that, like what if zombies break fences two time longer than doors or faster on hard mode and any animals tames or just existing would be killed by zombies and horses would get infected and would need an enchanted golden apple. I wanna join the discord man 😭

@@justjordan6147 Anything that simple would be incredibly easy to cheese by just using full blocks. Or even just cobble walls.

You reminded me of Roguelike Dungeons 2 that used five different nutritional values to make it so you needed variety...or just make a crapload of stuffed pumpkins.

Free the slaves!

Free range -chickens- villagers

BRB, making a shifting 2x1 honey floor to simulate walking.

I literally am trying to build a wall around this village but it’s take me about two cave trips just to at least try since I can just sleep and all the mobs burn away. I wonder.

I'd love to let villagers roam free. But they like dying to literally anything if not imprisoned. I hate it.

It’s the best language

​@@GreenJabYES

​@@GreenJabW

​@@GreenJabW

There is 7000 languages

yeah that’s what have always been thinking too, which makes it even more of a shame that this isn’t in the game

the things object oriented programming does to a person...

We're talking a company that had to hire a guy specifically to make light go through slabs then canned them basically as they were finished. Mojang is an insanely incompetent company.

​@@mow_cat Even so, I find it really, really hard to believe there wasn't a better way. Either they didn't give us all the details, or just straight up lied, though I think the first option is more likely.

​@@mechacode8527 Theres definitely a better way to do it, but OOP sort of locks you into bad decisions when you make them. It gets hard to correct hierarchy trees and relationships once theyre set in stone. The Minecraft source code is horrifying...

Why thank you. Yeah Minecraft despite being the biggest game of all time still has so much more potential. If you feel like you can, you could help out with the mod.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM THIS BROTHER SPEAKING IT

​@@justjordan6147 FAX 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

This wasn't always the case, but it's definitely the case in the most recent versions of the game. For a game about building, you'd think the player would be encouraged to build. But instead, we get pre-generated villages and elytra that let you travel the world without building a single block of infrastructure.

@@Netist_ unfortunately a bed out in the open is the same as building a mansion

To me I would actually be happy to jump on again if it was optional ya know, a game can be changed by the player and maker cause you can beat the Ender dragon with an enchanted sword of wood ya know.

that is where the idea stemmed from, I just want to see it become more intentional and therefore not completely broken (there was no cap on bedrocks one)

@@GreenJabImagine horseshoes which could uhhh 🤔 nah that would be an add on since I wanna have a reason to make stuff for animals.

Glad you like them!

Actually, they do! It’s just way too slow to actually do anything. It really doesn’t make sense that a land dweller like the player can swim as fast or faster than a fish.

GAY!

​@@aleksitjvladica. we got a comedian here!

@@aleksitjvladica. so what

​@@shocksound9yippee

Why it's not farmable so u can't get a lot + if you need it you need at least more than 2 just to make slime piston door or flying machine if you need it you can go on an adventure to find swamp or just explore giant cave almost all the time you will find slime chunk then just fance chunks and wait for more to spawn

@@Ua_cool if you’re able to find a slime chunk in a cave, it’s simple enough to set up an auto slime farm given your able to find which chunk it is. If not, camping the area will also get you a lot of slime. Having a lot of slime isn’t bad because the things you can craft with it aren’t extremely powerful, especially for someone like me who sucks at red stone. Idk about anyone else, but the issue for me personally is some worlds I play, I’ll never come across a slime chunk or swamp. And as for swamps, even if you find one slime only come out when the moon is at a certain phase. I feel like slime alone shouldn’t be an incentive to seek out a swamp, the default non-mangrove swamp has nothing else going for it. The only other way to get slime is to hope a wondering trader sells you one piece for 5 emeralds. If you could fish for slime, it doesn’t have to be a common drop, but it can just be there for people who don’t have any other option. Does that make sense? I’m not tryna argue

@@Ua_cool if you’re able to find a slime chunk, it’s not hard to set up an automatic slime farm which yields a lot of slime. If not an auto farm, camping there area will also get you plenty. Having too much slime isn’t the problem, the things you can craft with slime don’t make you any more powerful, especially for someone like me who sucks at red stone. Idk about everyone else, but my issue is personally, I’ll play some worlds where I never find a slime chunk or swamp at all. And slime shouldn’t be the only incentive to travel the world and hope to find a swamp, default non-mangrove swamps don’t have anything else going for them other than slime, and even if you find a swamp, they only spawn when the moon is at a certain phase.

Man I got lucky since every time I’m in my cave entrance there is slime so I have a good supply of slime but what if honey worked like sticky pistons but “EXTRA” sticky plus what if you could craft normal leads which would not stretch and would be a certain length depending on how much leather you thin out whit a little honey making it have durability if it stretches out for a while and would snap under weight unlike the other one 😁🤙🏾

This idea would be nice, also trial chambers will soon be added which you can find slimes pretty easily in there and there is a potion that allows for much easier slime farming and you can find them with a map so you wouldn't have to search aimlessly.

It will make minecraft great again

the cost is supposed to be high enough that you can have some powerful gear, but you will generally save them for special occasions and most of the time use gear that has the limitations, rather then how it currently is where your god gear is you main gear

@@GreenJab I mean I understand the concept, but it basically just reintroduces god gear but grindier. It’s a creative idea but I’m not sure I’m as in love with it as some of the other fixes in the video :)

@@sirondiumI’d rather have the anvil have two durability bars which can added by enchanting it. Shocker or just having it nearby a table, and what if you could make different enchanting heads with materials combinations.

correct, additional you could combine books to have to fit more enchants to have a chance of being picked in the smaller space, but will cost more and more to combine, so yet again another soft cap there too

Nah fam I wanna repair MY DAMN ANVIL LIKE WHY CAN I NOT?? I understand that enchantments are valuable but why not two separate durability bars, one for magic/enchanting which would include naming. And one for the material side which could be repaired and would not break the anvil but the magic side would no matter how low the material side is.

I think so too!

What I mean by natural blocks is stuff like dirt/grass/stone. not necessarily blocks which have been placed by the player

Also about the food, some people don't like having short stamina bursts during long explorations, but I think that making the saddle craftable is a good way to avoid it.

Yeah I half bring it up here, but it its just a make one and is just adds everywhere you go automatically and has the ui marker system I don't want. You can see it when I 'merge' it, minimap and normal maps into 1.

@@nati0598 Yeah, buffing rails/horses would hopefully cover the gap that nerfing sprinting will make, thats the idea. Have each type of movement have a best use case.

@@GreenJab I might have played an older version of this mod, but don't you need to supply it with empty maps first? And you can add filled maps to it anyway.

the one I have played doesn’t use the existing map system at all. so idk

Although Minecraft definitely has a 'wiki game' problem (I remember needing to memorise crafting recipes and block ids), I don't think a tutorial world is the way to go, nor pop ups, guide books, and other suggestions. It is a difficult thing to get right, but if done well, can be great, done not right can actively hurt the game

Maybe, include written books in villages, strongholds and other structures with information that the player could use? The chiselled bookshelf already exists so adding those wouldn't be too hard.

@@leonicomil6167 interesting idea. although would it fit lore wise as i don't think there is any pre-existing writing in the game. It would have to be somewhat cryptic, i.e. don't just tell the player what to do, also there is the problem with language. I wouldn't want to see this become a standard use for all things 'tutorial' but could be fun for a few specific things, like possibly how the beacon works. It's not perfect, but it being an 'in-game' find and not something that is thrown in your face immediately makes it far better than many other ideas.

Minecraft should focus on indirect tutorials rather than directly showing the player 'how to play minecraft'. Since there isn't one way to play the game, it's it works better if Mojang tells players how things work through subtle hints like the ruined Nether Portals as an example

@@Harriet-MarieHaines Absolutely! The books don't have to be direct at all. Additionally, I will copy-paste what I said in the discord yesterday: "Yeah, this wouldn't have to include every aspect of the game. Maybe this could be used as a way to introduce the new mechanics to players coming back! As for the lore, it fits because you could say that the ancient builders wrote those books in order to teach the future generations about the world. Expanding on this, maybe you could actually get some books from archeology too, perhaps telling you about the deep dark and mineshafts."

I have plans for one more long video like this to complete the trilogy before I then dive into making the mod. I don’t want to feel a need to do this forever, and by the third video I would have talked about most main gameplay elements, especially those that have been in the game for a while, as I am not as familiar with the newer stuff and also am yet to see the long term effect of them. but once the third video is done and the mod has been mostly developed, I’ll see if there is anything else to talk about in smaller videos

@@GreenJab I'm all for it. Gl on the video and mod :D

I have my own ideas on how the chiselled bookshelf will work. I still want that randomness

I’ve played with a mod similar and it is far too OP

As I generally want food time be directly linked hunger, I think a better option is the stamina provided. I currently haven’t changed the vanilla values but since almost knows the saturation values of food, I could make it so the “simple” foods give less saturation than the more “complex” foods like the pie to give more incentive to using them

@@GreenJabyup and I just wanna make sandwich would have been easier to add a coock during that pillage and village update which would make the food actually important to villages and pillagers would send sneaky pillagers to steal food and mark out locations of villages and you either stop it let it happen or see the aftermath of one.

Even if they did Microsoft still wouldn’t let him do anything big.

Thank you so much for spending the time to write this comment. It means a lot. I wouldn't be discussing these ideas if i didn't think they would have at least some merit to them. That graph has been my favourite image when discussing my ideas with others as it really shows where a lot of the problems lie. That graph came to me after playing a bunch of ROTMG where first early game can be pretty quick, but each tier especially late game becomes exponentially hard too get. The biggest problem with the mob changes you presented is it will go against modern mojangs philosophy of "bad things happen, but its the players fault". Stuff like the creeper and endermen would never be added today but have become to iconic to remove at this point. The only reason the wither can break blocks is because it can only be spawned by the player themselves. With pets pre-attacking, it assumes that you want to kill every mob you come across which isn't always the case, plus there are cases where wolves are programmed not to attack creepers because that would be suicide. I have had some thoughts on how to address mob AI in general, and although I don't want to change it too much as they are supposed to be simple, I have thought of the 'remembering your last location', and I feel it is something that could be tied too difficulty such that on easy they are quick to forget where you are but on hard you better hide or they will find you. The parrot making the sound of a mob when it aggros you if it hasn't for a while is actually a really good idea that I haven't heard of before, and would give them an actual use too bring with you as opposed to how they just make seemingly random sounds to throw you off-guard. I only had a horse in the vid, I do say 'pets and mounts', which include wolves cats and the like.

@@GreenJab all good, and yeah modern mojang philosophy is something I personally disagree with precisely because it contradicts features already iconic to the game, and with mojang doing a 180 with auto crafting I do genuinely hope they do more. But yeah do think having it difficulty dependant would be best anyway, something to actually differentiate medium from hard. Thanks for responding to my comment btw, I know I woffle on a lot lol

very true

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed them. I hope they get more recognition too.

I know what an athropod is, but for the sake of minecraft which is fantasy, I’d rather try being bane to the level of like smite instead of add yet another small usage enchant like cube

these changes try their best to make trading halls not the most optimal. although i can agree iron should probs come from another mob, I am only here to tweak things not change things

@@GreenJabyeah you are right cause no matter how mush we sometimes beg there is always something going on within, mojang needs a revival to make these changes happen and since everyone is legitimately struggling with money, happiness, and all sorts of problems. The whole world needs to become better.

thanks. part 3 is also in the works

I hope so to since I’m working on a mod

the idea is to help you see at night, but because it’s just night vision it won’t stop mob spawning so it’s not too powerful

@@GreenJab that's a good point. NV can be annoying when trying to light places up, so I thought that maybe the beacon could help with that as well.

Saturation has never been shown to the player in vanilla iirc, but beyond that, how many people understand exhaustion?

It’s an interesting idea, but basically forces more inventory slots just to get to the same state we are in now. it could be difficulty to properly explain to the player why their food is worse and how to fix it, and takes away a bit of freedom from the player

@@GreenJab There was a lumchbox item that held iirc 5 stacks of food if shift-right clicked, and if you just right clicked it you would eat the food that had the least penalty. Ik that's not quite a vanilla friendly solution, but that's how that mod handled it.

Glad you think so!

You should!

everyone has different opionions

I had thought of this earlier but I’m hesitant to add another type of totem

As I am not mojang, I am not in a place to just be adding items in this way, I’m suggesting already existing items that would make half sense atleast, but if mojang were to update fishing they could add more stuff to the game to fill this purpose. I’m terms of loot there is a possibility to do something like that, I’m just starting it by keeping it simple with the one type

i feel as though adding more items as bait fits more into addon territory

@@monkeeboy830 True...

Much appreciated!

just a few 3600 seconds then

who? cause that’s what I’m doing

I like the stamina changes too, which is why I went ahead and starting doing that first for the mod

although interesting idea, I’m worried about how it might effect naturally spawning iron golems are not all villagers would have an abundant amount of those types of villagers

@@GreenJab I didn't thought you would respond. Maybe it could be balanced by making iron golems spawn more with the iron-having villagers so it doesn't make that much of the decrease in golems

I read every comment, as I’m always on the lookout for other ideas/inspiration. I feel like the current changes would be enough but I’ll keep this idea in the back of my head for if I feel it needs any more adjusting

it wasn’t like I was proposing anything too crazy, just taking common ideas and turning them into something that fits minecraft

Glad you enjoyed it!

I am trying to reuse the current map system rather than adding a whole new way to create maps

Looking forward to seeing yours

kekw

Yeah structure commonality was talked about in the first video. If difficulty does become pre-sets of game rules, and generate structures turns from a boolean (on/off) to a float (between 0 and 1), there is potential for the difficulty to modify generation, only problem with that is there is no other game rule tied to world gen so it is a little out of place. In the 'real history' section, I originally had in the script talking about the full world customisation that used to be in the game, but felt it didn't tie too much into 'survival'. But I do want it back, along side the super secret settings

it’s something so many people get wrong, and because of that fail to see the actual problems they face

I’m against this as mojang was explicitly against this, as it would create a meta of which is the best as opposed to you just being able to choose which one you want

@@GreenJab that makes sense i think adding some utility to armor trims would be good especially seeing how difficult they are to get

I’m glad you do. when I watched nett develop this, and saw the map changing automatically and the full map when right click, I think I felt my heart miss a beat

I hope you enjoy

That is why I did a bunch of calculations and testing to make sure that larger foods still give more hunger per second overall, and that larger foods don't feel like they take forever to eat, but long enough to possibly warrant smaller foods if you would like.

@@GreenJab Damn that's some dedication, sadly I wouldn't be able to do that on my end because of just the scores of food items that get added in modded is astronomical.

i highly recomend checking out more feaures from the legacy consloe editions cuz it by far has the best quality of life fetures of any minecraft version. like faster mine carts, having an actual tutrial, the easy comand pannel and more.

If its making you think, then that's all I can ask for. The 'cost/limit' was never something I had set and was always going to require playtesting. The mending for the netherite anvil, yeah its a little forced, but it's design that way so that it has to be an ongoing cost, not something you can 'one and done' and forget about from then onwards

On the note of extra enchants for the stamina system he said that lower tiers of armor would take less stamina to run in compared to higher tiers which is pretty much what you are talking abouy

I don’t know how you could litterally fish up effects, but that is why I said make it so you can fish up the potions in the treasure loot. although possibly trying the effects to different biomes like fire res from deserts could be cool

@@GreenJab I meant more like, you could get a fish that, when eaten, gives you an effect briefly. This comment was actually made before the fishing up potions was said in the video, so I think it's telling the idea came up that it'd be at least interesting.

it feels invisible for chest loot because it is. due to how it works right no it only helps fishing. I plan to fix that, but didn’t feel I needed to go into detail in the video

Already in the works

I made this comment before I watched the difficulty section of your video. You also made some good points!

they want updates, but they don't want change, so mojang adds stuff which doesn't change the way you play, then they complain that they aren't adding enough because they don't need to interact with it

I originally thought of paper as that is how the cartography table expands maps, I also wanted to make it cheap enough to incentive expanding the map book as if it was too expensive players might not bother. but I could always change it to empty map if I feel it isn’t too bad. Making the mapbook only obtainable from cartographers sounds like an interesting idea though. and yes these don’t work in item frames

coming soon. (join the discord for a very early alpha this week)

Wow good question. Well starting off, I have been playing Minecraft for a long time, seen its history, watched it change and saw how those changes affect the game. Minecraft brought me redstone which got me into software engineering which lead me to getting a bachelor of Software Engineering majoring in Game Programming which also taught me a lot about game design. I regularly chat in the Scicraft discord in the snapshot discussion channel with other tmc players who have also being playing for ages and all have their own takes on the game so I brought up a lot of ideas there and had people criticise them. But more importantly one of my best friends who I meet up with weekly, we usually spend like half an hour discussing my latest ideas bringing my full understanding of the game and design principles and him the casual players perspective which really helped me solidify my ideas to ones that not only would work but ones that people would mostly enjoy. After enough of these discussions online and irl, 1. I had a lot of ideas I really liked that I had mostly just in my head, and 2. Was getting a little tired repeating myself over and over when discussing the ideas with new people. I had originally wanted to make some video but my ideas weren't as polished as they are now and watching some other channels like TheMisterEpic felt like they had said some of the ideas I was having so didn't see the point in making my own due to him having a much larger audience. But as more time passed,,, and I refined my ideas further and came up with more, I realised that I had enough that I felt like I could actually contribute to the discussion without just repeating what others are saying, in terms of either complaining or bringing up half baked ideas. By this point, I had started this channel, which if you look at my older videos was more just me wanting to show off my cool redstone stuff rather than any proper sort of 'content creation', and once I reached Langton's Ant I realised I couldn't just do a normal showcase video so starting playing around with actual 'storytelling' in a video, so finally settled on wanting to make a video to show all my ideas. At the time I was using a trash video editor that I feel I would have hated making a long form video in, but after meeting Squibble, he introduced me to DaVinci Resolved and did a trial video (the computer one) and it felt so much better that I actually felt like I could make a longer form video in it. I put all the larger/important changes together (enchanting, transport and stuff) and started the script, finished it, chucked it out and started again until I liked it, then started recording it. I originally was planning on making this video and leaving it there. But as people came out wanting to help with the mod, others brought up ideas and more, I came to the realisation very quickly that this video was not 'the end' but just 'the beginning'. So started work on part 2, talking about the updates in ideas with enchanting, other ideas I had had with villagers, maps, food, fishing and more as well as explaining more of the design process behind the ideas. Now I have the mod to work on, but also more videos planned, like a whole video dedicated to 'The problem with sleep'. So to answer your question. It's not necessarily a single 'event' that got me here, but a multitude of little steps that when put together let me arrive at the destination that I am at now. What makes you ask?

@@GreenJab Sorry for the delayed reply. I was thinking of making my own video on this particular topic, and was wondering what gave you the push to actually do it.

@@GreenJab It's also interesting that we identified one of the same higher-level problems- that powercreep is pushing survival closer to creative in terms of difficulty. We also proposed the same solution, although I'd go a bit further than you.

@@sadolftalin1016 I will be looking forward to it. Feel free to join the discord if you want to discuss other ideas too

I understand that, but if we are scared of changing things because people are used to how they are, no progress would ever be made

redstone you can buy from clerics I believe, rotten flesh from fishing, blaze rod could be interesting. I have plans for the ender dragon in part 3

@@GreenJab Yea that’s true I just like the idea of passive versions of hostile mobs :)

@@elliesternI love your idea of actually interacting with the mobs instead of them being there doing nothing or just plain gone. The sheering of zombies doesn’t seem vanilla to me but I think it would be that zombies would occasionally just drop some something and for skeletons you would take some body parts and feed or pour milk on em to give them a regeneration affect which would have teirs. Honestly you have some good ideas 💡

@@justjordan6147 Thank you :) I like your ideas too ^^

sounds like a good deal

21:01 is so cool oml

yeah I knew there was a problem with the acquiring of the netherite itself, which is kinda a problem even before the anvil, but i haven’t being able to think of a valid alternative to collect that keeps it in balance while being engaging to interact with

hehe

as much as there are many not very useful items, I don’t feel being able to craft enchants is a good idea
