My Nitpicks About Minecraft! 

If I sat down and made a Minecraft nitpick video, as much as I love the game, I’d be sat there for hours

I think composters are best used to get rid of excess material rather than being something you actively use to farm.

If you click a stack of arrows on a cauldron with a potion on bedrock, you only deplete one layer but get the full stack of arrows tipped with the respective potion.

Copper is not used for enough things. It’s good for xp, lightning rods and spyglasses, but not much else. Having it do something redstone-oriented makes a lot more sense, since copper wire is used for electric purposes.

One nitpick that I have is that Tridents in Java are unreasonable rare, I mainly played Bedrock Edition for a very long time on my phone since at the time I couldn't afford a computer, and not only I would always get a Trident, I would have DOZENS of them just sitting on my chests, so needless to say they are incredibly common on bedrock. A few months ago I was finally able to buy a good computer to play Java Edition, and I was so used to using Tridents that I naturally wanted to get at least two (One with Loyalty & Channeling and one with Riptide), and I am not kidding when I say I had to build a MASSIVE Drowned Farm and kill over 1,500 Drowned with LOOTING III just to get them, and EVEN with all that it still took like 2 hours of just standing in a platform killing Drowned. Tridents are stupid rare for basically no reason, like, they aren't overpowered or anything, for instance, Prot IV Armor, Power V Infinity Bows, Elytra, Totems and Mending are way better than Tridents in every way, and are miles easier to get.

The composter is nice when you've had a wheat farm for ages and more seeds than you'll ever need because you can just put all your seeds in a hopper and leave them and get some bonemeal as a bonus. The best use I've had for it though was when I was playing on an old slow laptop that was too poor performance-wise to fight mobs without lag making you die, so to avoid it, I dug straight down and used moss to mine out huge chunks underground rather than caving. The moss when bonemealed created more moss, but also moss carpets, and other random garbage, but putting all of that into a chest with a hopper into a composter made enough bonemeal to mean I never ran out and was able to keep using it on the moss for as long as I wanted because it was 100% renewable.

Imagine if phantoms flew in circles above you like vultures and this drew other nearby mobs to your position, rather than the phantom attacking players itself.

For the composter, it is incredibly useful for when your growing nether trees. Since the "leaves" don't despawn, you have to mine them and you if you need a lot of nether wood, you can get a lot of bone meal from composting

Fun fact about tuff: it was originally used for the outer layer of amethyst geodes but Mojang later discovered it's actually a type of basalt instead of tuff. So the switched out the andesite that was spawning below zero with tuff and added smooth basalt for the geodes

My biggest nitpick is the inventory size. You really need more items nowadays than you used to, but the inventory is still the same size. Shulker Boxes kind of help, but you have to place them down to access the items inside, and they're a late game item. It feels like putting a Band-Aid over a gaping wound and ignoring how little it actually does to fix the problem. I'm not asking for much. Just one or two more rows.

One of my biggest complaints about 1.18 is that they removed the Caves and Floating Islands type generation in world settings. These versions allowed for so much creative and fun world types to try out with friends, but they just removed them and haven't spoken about it at all. I'd be fine if they were temporarily removed to rework for 1.18's new generation, but their radio silence about the issue tells me that they're never coming back.

Tuff is a good block for gradients, particularly with mossy cobble.

Cracked Stone Brick stairs, slabs and walls. Back in 1.14, they added that for mossy stone bricks but not cracked stone bricks which is weird. Also for some reason they didn't add walls for polished granite, diorite or andesite. Polished deepslate and blackstone have them so they should too.

one of the nitpicks i have with minecraft, is that there are no wood varients for ladders. i think it'd be quite nice.

Yoo I made it into the video! Just want to clear things up. My thinking was mostly on aesthetic, and not how useful they are. The dungeon is ironically, a cube. The spawners themselves can be very useful, but changing the dungeon just a little bit could go a long way. The abandoned mineshafts are fun to explore, I agree with you on that. But just putting a couple traps could make this better. I still like these structures. Remember, this is a nitpick.

Addressing the Chainmail Armor issues Firstly, Chains shouldn’t cost 1 Iron Ingot to craft. They should cost 3 Iron Nuggets, in a simple straight line, or 5 nuggets in an X pattern. Either way, that would mean that Chains themselves would cost less iron than an Iron Ingot, and thus make Chainmail viable as an Armor Type in the event that you only found a few blocks of Iron Ore/chunks of Raw Iron, but not enough to make a full suit of Iron Armor. Secondly, if changing the crafting recipe of Chains is out of the question, we could simply make Chainmail it’s own type of armor, with a unique function that would play into Leather and Iron Armor; Chainmail could be used as an Under/Over coat layer of Armor (worn over Leather, and under Iron). I’d reckon that it would add a minor amount of Armor Rating/Damage resistance, but the main draw of wearing layered armor is these 3 benefits. 1. You’d be able to have multiple Enchantment Effects, such as Protection AND Fire Resistance, or Frost Walker AND Depth Strider, active at one time. This would definitely need some balancing (perhaps whichever Enchantment effect on the Under-Armor layer is halved/quartered, or does not receive XP benefits from the Mending enchantment) 2. This could serve to prolong the lifespan of Leather and Iron Armor And 3. Chainmail armor could provide a special defensive buff/resistance to bladed weapons like Swords, Axes, and Melee attacks from Tridents. (Chainmail armor could also offer a minor damage resistance to not fully charged Arrow shots, or even more resistance to Spam Click attacks from Swords on Java, to help spice up PvP in that game.) Overall, I don’t think Chain-Leather armor should be more protective than Iron, and Iron-Chain shouldn’t be more protective than Diamond, but the idea is to incentivize the use of layering these armor types to provide benefits that Diamond and Netherite can’t offer, thus making it a choice between Utility/Usefulness/Convenience, or raw Resistance/Protection Stats and Durability Values.

“At least give tuff a polished variant” Mojang for 1.21: say no less

I feel Bedrock vs Java is like comparing apple to apple. It’s the same ranking but different areas are worse at different points.

The biggest one I have is that Java and bedrock have way to many differences.

The issue I have with the idea of turning chains into chainmail armour is that the two types of chain are nothing alike- the block gives off a big, bulky vibe, while chainmail links are much smaller and more delicate. Using chains to craft the armour would be like wrapping yourself in a prisoner's chains.

I kind of like how common the drowned are in bedrock. It makes the player fear the ocean, at least in the early game. It forces you to make a boat.

Dog no longer being in the game is probably a legal issue. No songs from C418 have been added since 1.13, so the chances of it being added now are very unlikely. It would be cool if added though.

i agree composter should give more bonemeal, but it's really useful if you have a lot of farms. I never use beetroot much, so surplus gets turned into bonemeal to help grow plants that don't grow on their own like warped fungus

8:10 personally i see it as giving the player a back door to their house depending on the house it could be useful

You should make creating spirits video about every undertale characters

the way I would do chain mail is that, like real life chainmail, it can be equipped with other armor or elytra. meaning the extra cost is worth it as you can still have protection with elitra or strengthen pre existing armour

Not a nitpick but an idea I just came up with: It'd be cool if you could craft granite, diorite, and andesite tools. They'd be exactly the same stats as stone tools, just look different. This doesn't change the game at all but I think it'd add a lot of fun variation actually. What you think?

I have to defend the door recipe. They fill up the same space as the blocks that make them. It makes sense.

My problem with tuff is its lack of usability it has for building. Its a nice darker grey without being as dark as blackstone or deepslate and has its own feel to it. It could be a really good accent material for deepslate based builds among other things, and as a main building block, but it has literally no derivatives so it kind of just exists.

In the past chainmail armor was worn under other armor, maybe in minecraft they could allow you to use it under regular armor to make it stronger?

They should also definitely add quartz walls

7:02 few months later and Mojang listens

I did not know the note block head thing… that’s cool af

I've actually been working on a mod that fixes a few of these, such as concrete stairs and slabs. It makes all stone variants consistent with their types as well, so far we've added over 100 new blocks.

YES! I was playing Minecraft on the switch rn while watching pewdiepie let's play. I support more Minecraft videos! :)

I think the composter taking up a lot of seeds is fine, I remember having huge wheat farms and the best way to use the spare seeds (which I was never going to plant or do anything with) was with the composter. Eventually filled up chests with bone meal from all the spare seeds.

i think updating the dungeons is challenging IF you want to keep the progression the same. I see people creating datapacks that update them. While those datapacks are very cool, they arent practical because they usually put an ungodly amount of spawners in it. Finding one and conquering it to build a farm would be OP. I think if Dungeons get updated, keep the 1 spawner only, but add more rooms or make it a bit more complex. Adding more spawners though, is not the way to go about it.

The removal of custom terrain in 1.13. You used to be able to customize terrain height, ore frequency, spawn range, completely remove diorite, andesite, granite, and gravel from caves so that they actually look good, and you could even make essentially the Farlands with the right combination of parameters. My survival is basically locked in 1.12.2 because I refuse to have my terrain break all over.

If you want the best results out of the composter, grow moss or nether fungi (The giant ones), all moss derivatives and both nether wart block variants are great for filling up the composter. You will also make a profit of bonemeal doing this. The composter is also good for when you have too many wheat and beet seeds from a long running farm, that can help you save storage space and get some bonemeal on the side.

Great video! I agreed with basically every single nitpick. Especially the ones where a random bedrock feature is removed from Java. One of my personal nitpicks is that I think Neather Fortresses need to be updated. They haven’t seen any change since they were introduced and can feel pretty bland for one of the most important structures in the game.

Ds mario circuit got an hell of a glow up in wave 4 with the really cool reference of the wiggler boss in ds mission mode being an obstacle,a forest and a nice remix

I get composters are more for plant materials, but I think mob products and poisonous potatoes should be composable too. As is, stuff like spider eyes and rotten flesh can really clog up your chests.

It's criminal but expected that this video is only a third as long as any other nitpick.

My biggest nitpick is that the mob spawning in Bedrock seems like it's designed to screw you over

hi odyssey, you are my biggest inspiration for starting my channel and i just wanted to say thank you for what you do ;)

I feel like emerald tools could be more quirky... like maybe an emerald sword having slightly less damage than an iron sword but it has a chance to do a critical hit which deals 3 times as much damage or something. Maybe emerald hoe can till the soil in a way that allows it to absorb from a water source a little further than normal tilled soil and stuff like that

a couple things on the topic of chainmail a) chains and chainmail links are entirely different. I get that it might be more of a symbolic recipe, but chains making chainmail is not as straight forward as you might think b) assuming we do get something like a chainmail recipe that costs more to make than iron, I think it would be really cool to have chainmail actually act as an extra layer of protection under your armor. Maybe you're able to put two armor pieces into a single slot if the first armor piece is chainmail. Maybe also this would allow for more enchanting customization. I'm not sure, but it would be neat.

Chainmail could be less protective than armor but have more protection against certain types of damage. Like you take less damage from piercing and stabbing attacks, so bows and arrows from mobs, but more from everything else

I think the composter is okay how it is now because you're able to get a lot of extra seeds just from one wheat farm, and you never need so much bonemeal.

I think that they should update the combat system in bedrock to give the sweeping edge effect on swords, or at least include the enchantment so that if your sword doesn't have SE, it works like a normal bedrock sword, and with the SE enchantment, it works like it does in Java

Ive actually found tuff incredibly useful for decoration if youre trying to make rubble or destroyed ruins! It beats cobblestone by miles and still looks like it can be destroyed mishmashes of brick.

It's been such a long time since I've watched your channel, you're still good!

Based on my maths, 3 blocks should make 4 stairs, not 6. I would say emerald armour and tools should be somewhere between iron and diamond.

I really love the phantom XD I think it is a brilliant addition adding the concept of insomnia into minecraft. I do think they should have more useful drops tho.

Auto-jump is on by default just like how the screen reader is enabled when you first start the game for the first time. It's accessibility to those that may find it difficult to turn it off.

THANK YOU for the dog shoutout, SUCH a good song from the soundtrack

6:04 fun fuct, player heads have the ability to specify what sound should be played for each individual head when placed on a noteblock, so it is 100% possible to do that with custom added heads.

My main issue witthe game is the ABYSMAL optimisation of java edition. It might legitimately be the worst performing game I've ever played

Some of mine (as a bedrock player) : 1. Fastcraft has been removed 2. Wandering trader should have armor trims (even if it is 0.1% drop rate) 3. End update (similar to 1.16 nether update) 4. If we can skip night by sleeping, there should be a way to skip day too 5. In bedrock, we cannot build on nether roof 6. If we apply gold to armor using trim, piglins shouldn't attack 7. "Sail the 7 seas" achievment is broken/glitched 8. Obtaining black dye is difficult

As a command blocker. My personal nitpick is that ctrl middle clicking a conditional command block does not not copy the conditional status into your hand. If you aren't careful you could really fuck something up

9:45 yo it me

Composter is pretty useful in combination with Moss since it can make a fully automatic bonemeal farm

I just recently realized that the ancient city portal is 22 blocks long but the base and surrounding wall are odd numbers long, and given you cant move reinforced deepslate, the only solution is to completely rebuild half the base. I hope this torments someone else as much as it does me

Bamboo can already be obtained from fishing in the jungle. I think a good way to add cocoa beans is to let them grow from jungle trees grown from saplings

We need to get more enchantment books. We haven’t had a bit enchantment book overhaul. We have gotten like 1 enchantment book every 2-3 updates. Imagine if they added atleast 4-5 more enchantment books.

That villager lookin hella scrumptious rn 🤤

I really like this series! Very good video!

My Nitpick: There is a big lack of Super Mario in this game.

I think leather/chainmail should work as a sort of under armour to help the later armours, even if they are already maxing it out

My biggest nitpick by far is the inconsistencies of crafting recipes, every colored block has a standard 8 blocks and 1 dye except wool which is 1 wool and 1 dye, and then a bunch of other ones I can’t think of off the top of my head. Honestly my ideal update rn is just a quality of life one. No theme, just catch up on promised features and polish up the game a bit. No features built from the ground up needed. I think then the more specialized updates can become all the better.

I really like making roads and bridges out of stone, and tuff is actually really useful for texturing. Slabs and stairs would be really cool for it though.

My nitpick is: There’s no way to make spawners, so if you break one, GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER. I once broke one without realizing it can be used for farms and then I had to restart my whole world because I wanted a farm. Maybe they could make it craftable with iron and bones/spider eyes/rotten flesh/any other representative mob drop

If I'm correct, you can modify player heads to be able to play custom sounds. So since these datapacks add new mob heads created from retexured player heads, they should be able to make mob noises if on note blocks if you modify them.

I really want dog too but I would suspect the reason they won't put it in is because Microsoft/Mojang doesn't own the rights to it, C418 does While it's hard to directly confirm the reason C418 stopped doing Minecraft music is most likely because he want to own the rights to it, which Microsoft also wants, so this is probably why the third volume of Minecraft's OST got cancelled and Dog won't get in anytime soon Also tuff has a tone of gray that has been needed for building for so long, remember when building exterior and nature most of the time the texture doesn't matter only the general color

My random nitpick: on Bedrock edition, blackstone slabs use the texture from the _side_ of the blackstone block for the _top_ of the slab. So when I put slabs over lightsources to hide them, they don’t blend seamlessly with the blocks around them.

I think it would be cool if you had to use a smithing table to make iron plates, and those were used to make armor. Some other system could be used for iron tools.

Terraria and Minecraft have referenced each other with an “Also try”. Terraria also has a Creeper costume in their game. Why doesn’t Minecraft have a Terraria item in their game? It could be a music disc at least.

Something cool would be Chainmail being something you could combine with other armors to increase "toughness" and reduce the damage you receive from swords like in real life.

Talking about stairs, what I really think Mojang should do is add a stonecutter equivalent for wood. I was building a house in survival not long ago and needed wooden stairs, but forgot that there's no such thing as a wooden stonecutter. It's really a no-brainer and I have no idea why this isn't in the game yet :T

Spawning into the Nether in Bedrock and everything around the jankiness of the Bedrock Nether is infuriating and leads to countless, unavoidable, unpredictable and entirely unfair repeated deaths.

The tuff would have probably been used for the tuff golom from the mob vote.

loving the minecraft videos! keep them coming!

I personally think that the door recipe should only give one, as then you can craft exactly how many you need

i love the footage of him trying to keep his cat quiet that way the warden doesnt get him he uses it in all his minecraft videos and it is still hilarious XD

The whole "Dog" music disk can be added into the game so easily, along with many other tracks not in the game. I once joined a call and we had custom Music disk audio playing within 20 minuets.

Nitpick: bedrocks funky quirks like sometimes just deleting stuff in chunks when you walk away (player built, in a super flat, creative mode) also frostwalker, I don’t let anyone near my house or farms if they have it on as it causes major issues with water flow often

Great video, I actually do agree with most of these, but I want to comment on three in particular: 1: I think the reason traders don't trade bamboo or cocoa beans is because it gives the player an incentive to find a jungle biome, although I can see how that would be quite annoying because bamboo creates scaffolding which is such a handy block to carry with you when you're building or exploring the new caves AND since this feature exists in Bedrock (there are so many parity issues I have between the two) it doesn't make much sense that it doesn't in Java. 2: I'm pretty sure the composter is meant to be a way to trash excess seeds and plant items while getting something mildly useful in return rather than a way to farm bone-meal, personally, that one doesn't bother me at all. 3: The reason emerald tools and armor don't exist in vanilla Minecraft is because emeralds are meant to be the currency of the game. Mojang themselves said this.

2:48 you can prevent the item that you’re trying to enchant from becoming too expensive if you put it in the enchantment table first. You can even get lucky and get more than one enchantment from the enchantment table when enchanting it

My biggest nitpick is that they removed the question mark from the end of Steve's name.

I like the existence of mob spawned rooms but I think they could use a makeover of sorts. Make it look more interesting, maybe add some features or even a mini dungeon for it instead of just a square room

Diorite, Andesite, Granite, Tuff and Mossy Cobblestone should be used to make stone tools. Diorite, Andesite and Granite is annoying to find when you dig straight down in the early game trying to get stone for stone tools to only have to dig into or around it to get stone. There should be a item or some sort of way to change/rotate blocks in survival without cheats. There is cool designs I've seen where people make tables with the corner stair block and slabs. Iron/gold tools and armor should smelt into 1 ingot of their material instead of a single nugget. Glowing ink sacks and normal ink sacks should be able to alter the brightness of blocks. Glowing increases the brightness and ink sacks lower it. Maybe also a paste that can be made with glowing ink sacks to artificially add some light to some areas of your house to prevent mobs from spawning.

Keep up the good work man 👍

It'd be cool if there were regional ores, such as if you're in the mountains emerald armour would be viable or if you're in plains iron would be better, this would also mean trading with other players who live in different areas would be a part of the game

About fletching table, I used this a lot, I would turn villager into fletcher till it would accept sticks for emralds, then use the emralds for more important trades.

I wish the progression had more options/split paths, right now its just one material to the next until u have netherite and then u get the ender eyes and fight the dragon. This is cool, but I wish there were choices of how you want to progress like in my other fav game terarria. I also wish that structures were more difficult but had cooler & more unique loot that was relevant to the game progression. (Love ur vids btw)

7:14 Missed opportunity to say: "the real purpose is *to make the live of every survival player tough* by filling up the players inventory"

my biggest problem about it... may just be the new upgrade to netherite system. Like you need TONS and TONS more diamonds to just upgrade to a fire-resistant armor.

I paused midway through your chainmail section to say I'd use extra resources on chainmail if we could wear it under our main armor, as it is irl. It'd could add passive projectile resistance, or reduce knockback. Idk how Mojang would implement such a thing, but it was my first thought

Fun Fact (warning a lot of text): I can only really think of 3 things a Dry Bones could do in terms of what could be set as special moves; Spin in it's shell (a la Bowser), collapse for some temp invincibility (and perhaps some damage as well), and throw their bones like in SMW. This means I cannot think of a good side special besides the weird flying headbutt Koopa Troopas did in Brawl (which I'd rather have as a simple dash attack). Any other side special idea would have design overlaps and thus do a Sonic. It would be better if we got an assist trophy Dry Horde, that spawns a horde of around 4-8 Dry Bones (with a few Para-Bones and Bony Beetles in the mix sometimes) that patrol platforms attacking with the suggested attacks (except the collapsing, as that would occur when using stomping-esque attacks, like footstooling them, using stall-n-falls, ground pound moves (Yoshi's Ground Pound, Bowser Bomb, etc), or battering weapon moves where the weapon slams them from above (excluding the hammer items; they should kill.) Para-Bones behave similarly to the Flying Red Para-Troopas in Brawl; They fly and patrol a small area, swooping at opponents that get too close. Unlike Para-Troopas in Brawl, they also can throw bones like normal Dry Bones. Any attack that would normally stun a Dry Bones will instead remove their wings. Bony Beetles, of course, lack the throwing, and instead will duck into their shells, protruding their spikes. This should protect from the footstools, most stall-n-falls (excluding those that use spiked things, like Bowser's, or things using weapons like the Ice Climbers and Game & Watch's, or tough weaponlike limbs like Banjo's and Corrin's) and ground pound moves. Instead of tackling, the Bony Beetle instead has the charge attack Goombas had in Brawl, rushing forward to attack upon seeing a player, skidding if they fail to do so, only to reattempt the attack. However, unlike the Goombas in Brawl, the Bony Beetles have moderate knockback from their charge, so that they can be on par with other assist trophies. (The animation used moreso resembles that used by the Shy Guy enemies in 3DS Smash, run as they have more similar shoes. However, this isn't identical as Bony Beetles lack arms.) Occasionally, a Big Dry Bones or Bony Beetle may spawn, having weak super armor, and no longer collapse when footstooled. Weaker stall-n-falls also take multiple hits to collapse them. However, hammer moves still topple them in one hit. They take longer to initiate their headbutts and charge attacks respectively. The bones can be hit to stop their flight path. The small ones will be successfully destroyed with strong attacks, while the larger ones require multiple. They maintain their damaging hitbox as they fall. Attacks on the weaker end make them fall as items, with the larger bones being carried like crates, as they are heavier. Both bone sizes can be reflected by other reflectors to defeat the enemy that originally threw them. Perfect shielding against the smaller bones destroys them. Counter moves can destroy smaller bones. The exception being counters that reflect projectiles, such as Palutena's Counter and Gut Check. Bones will be destroyed by Makarakarn (Rebel's Guard's Projectile Reflector form), and damaged by Sora's Counterattack, reducing the damage the reflected bone does depending on how much damage is dealt to it. Reflectors that damage the bones do not cause the bones to drop. The only other counter with the ability to affect the bones is Sephiroth's. The weaker bones fall to the ground (taking damage. You can never get an undamaged bone this way), allowing for you to pick it up. The larger bones will instead break Sephiroth's counter due to their sheer size (although they themselves are destroyed in the process.) Items like the Gust Bellows can be used to potentially get an undamaged bone (If you grab it from the air before it lands.) As a neat easter egg, Hammer Bro assist trophies should be able to OHKO Dry Bones and Bony Beetles of any size as a homage to the Hammer Suit being their sole weakness in SMB3. Said hammers should destroy the bone projectiles with no knockback. Another easter egg would be that Mario and Dr. Mario's cape moves do not work on thrown bones, but Mario's Cape and Dr. Mario's cloth thing can OHKO normal-sized Dry Bones and Bony Beetles if timed correctly. These two attributes reference SMW, where the Cape can be used to defeat Dry Bones and Bony Beetles but is unable to destroy thrown bones. To balance things, the Capes require multiple well-timed uses to KO the large variants.

This is less of a nitpick since it's a bit more fundamental to the design of Minecraft, but I'd really love to see more things being automatable in the late game. I know a lot of people are against this, but I've actually seen some really awesome datapacks and mods for things like auto-crafting, that manage to still feel vanilla and not too overpowered due to requiring a lot of effort to make the automatic mechanisms. I just think it could be really great to have, cause for many of the people that play far into the late game, I can see that way too much of their time is spent doing things like crafting tons of dispensers, or converting all their gold nuggets into gold ingots, or manually mining large swaths of sand and gravel. All that stuff seems to be really boring since it takes a lot of time, is very repetitive, and there's little to no challenge in it. If there was some way to automate some of those types of processes, even if it was really hard to make, I think the game could be significantly more fun for late game players.
