News in Snapshot 24w19a & 24w19b: Better Performance! More Mace Changes! 

From a developer no less!

He works at mojang...

​@@ahmedmahomed these videos are completely separate from mojang

​@@nolramIt says right at the beginning; "These videos are made as a personal project". So he's not getting paid by mojang or anything to make these...

@@proyoloks1386 Yeah. That's what I was saying. I am impressed that as a developer he is also able to find the time and passion to make these detailed and high-quality update videos!

@@MuzikBike it does! sounds great!

​@@MuzikBike Holy shit that's what it is!!! (iss a good sound)

Someone should make a mod for that.

They should make it so that u don’t take any damage on a campfire if ur not looking at it, but once u do u look down at it u jump 5 blocks high and take 4 full hearts of damage

@@therealno_one -Instead of glitching throught the door when it closes on you, you are verticaly flat. -An anvil makes you horizontaly flat -You don't fall immediately -Tnt only activates if you are in explosion radius -A train can come from a black wall -Looking into a dispenser's inventory makes it fire backwards I don't have any other ideas.

@@lechatrelou6393 maybe change so that u don’t fall as long as u don’t look down

@@therealno_one I'd say and limit it to bein able to move maybe a few seconds worth of movement out? Like if you're sprinting you can get further sorta thing

same

For when you want your bees to move slower as they fall over after the first hit…

It both increases damage and applies slowness

It's possible to chain, but you would be hitting with not full charge, which would deal slightly bit less damage, smash would work just fine

I agree, the mace doesn't feel good this slow.

@@pqdhiwyw That's literally what I said

Imo they should just remove Density as an enchantment and let us have smite, fire aspect, and breach all in one mace, buff the attack speed back up, and maybe crank the base attack back to 6 or something, it just feels so bad at the moment

@@pqdhiwyw its way less damage

I'm hoping it means that we're going to get some long-overdue structure overhauls soon. The strongholds and nether fortresses could really use some work.

@@einootspork Yeah the strongholds are so old it needs that work.

Now we only need structure overhaul and new creative music

​@@msiionah why? The old music is fine

Sodium has nothing to do with chunk loading, it's a renderer replacement. Lithium might, though.

@@lassipulkkinen273 As a custom map maker, I can verify Lithium messes with chunk loading because when people have it installed, it breaks half the tricks I use to load and unload chunks far away from the player for various reasons. (This is okay and doesn't bother me that much, honestly. There's still ways to make things work, I just have to design those systems more carefully.)

That would be one way to keep it from being crippled when used as a more standard item. Just have it go on long cooldown if smash attack and short if not.

It's to reenable sand duping.

@@nnnik3595 all the better!

people saw a number go down and thought the mace was useless

​@@apollo4950 they prob think they are math geniuses

From 2-10 damage is similar to unenchanted mace, but if we actually would be comparing the difference between new and old density 5, the difference would be huge ( almost 2 times ). From 10 plus even enchanted mace is worse than the oldest iteration of the mace, so hitting something tanky ( Dragon, Wither, Warden ) would require insane height like it was before, which in my opinion is good. If you actually think it's not a nerf, you just haven't experienced the previous iteration of the mace, which was literally 1 shotting maxed player from 5 blocks. I personally absolutely like this changed, since the damage feels more reasonable now, maybe still a lil bit too OP, but combining with the lower speed, it's a pretty balanced now

@@pqdhiwyw I'm not comparing the maces with Density 5, I'm comparing the basekit

@@Trident_Gaming03 basekit is worse, it's not even a question, here some math for the 10 blocks, before it was 3 per block, so 30 total, now its gonna be 3b*4d ( b = block, d - damage ) + 5b*2d + 2b*1d = 24 damage, anything higher is just not even close

What?

As long i can one shot the wither with the mase i'm happy.

The slow attack speed makes sense because it's supposed to be heavy, but it's too slow in my opinion Also, when are they making maces 3D, I hate the 2D version

I'm not upset about what the changes are, I'm just upset they keep happening.

@@youtubeuniversity3638 why? It’s a snapshot, it’s supposed to be subject to changes and rebalances and it isn’t final. That’s the whole point, to test out new features that they are working on and see how the community reacts

@@avuwep Reactions so far have been tedious and getting moreso the more updates occur. Updates on Not The Mace have not led to as tedious responses.

Don't want to disrespect developers, but they are clearly not close to PvP aspect of the game, so I hardly can say that they know what they're doing, but let's hope they will cook

They slightly need to buff the atack speed because its now impossible to chain fully charged wind burst atacks

@@pqdhiwyw It's not that they don't know about it, it's that Minecraft isn't intended to be a PVP focused game. You can do it anyways because the game IS intended to be an open sandbox with a near limitless number of choices and possibilities, but they are not aiming to cater to PVP players in really any way. So for better or worse, they do know what they're doing. It's just not being done with PVP players in mind because that isn't, and likely will never be, a high priority for them. The good news of this is that they are very, very unlikely to try to intentionally go out of their way screw you over for the same reason, like we've seen some other games do in the past to PVP aspects of their game. It's not something that is going to get much development time either way from them. This can be annoying, but it's also a shield of its own in some ways. The other piece of great news is that if you're looking to make dedicated PVP content, the game is easy to mod. Even if you just limit it to data packs, you can get almost any PVP-relevant change you want implemented on your own, exactly as you and your friends want to see it done. So, go for it! Make whatever changes you want to see in the game for yourself, you can totally do it.

@@Lessinath you write 3 paragraphs of text just to proof my point, thanks bud lol. I understand your position and point you are trying to make, but let's be honest, PvP community of Minecraft isn't small by any means and it will continue to grow as time goes by, so it's a part of the community that developers need to address, I agree it shouldn't be a top priority, since it never was in the first place, but they are just a part or community like the redstoners and builders are, so it's absolutely reasonable to expect developers to be at least somehow competent in this aspect ( at least in my opinion )

@@pqdhiwyw isnt like a big chunk of the "pvp community" om 1.8 anyway? i know theres people on other versions but most 'standardised' pvp spaces dont even give you access to all of the possibilities anyway, with many not allowing end crystals or elytras, or just having a preditermined equipment set. i'd say that covers a big chunk of competitive pvp people, the "pvp community" if you will. ofcourse they are not the only people who care about pvp, often people on SMPs do care aswell but they're generally less serious/dedicated, as, well, if you were dedicated you'd just use crystals, which is no fun

Cave22 is a glow squid sound

The section titles? They’re edited in using post processing software.

That's odd. I just switched to a new computer - guess I haven't fully got all my apps back where I want them. Thanks!

Cooldown changes don't affect how wind burst works

@@hhff8534 That's good to know. I'm interested to see what parkour map makers can do with it.

@@TheGeladoo considering we just got data-driven enchantments, i don't think any changes to the mace are gonna be an issue to mapmakers. you can make the old wind burst now if you wanted to

ALSO mob and sound chapters seeemed to be swapped

the chapters in general are messed up

But now it works as it was before, but abusing it as a sword isn't viable anymore and the damage is more balanced now

@@pqdhiwyw I was not specifically referring to this snapshot alone but rather to all snapshots that nerfed it from a must go to (what I personally think the game really lacks) to a "huh, if I get a heavy core that's neat, but if not, that's also fine." I sadly see no reason as to why choosing the mace over a sword in its current state.

I still don't understand your point a little, about what mace specifically are we talking about? The newest iteration of the mace is a combination of old(low) damage for high distance and new(high) damage for low distance plus the addition of the slower speed. If you talk about the original mace, then it's literally the same now, but with enchantments Since you mentioned the wither kill, you probably mean the first iteration of the enchantments, when you could kill the wither by spamming wind burst on it ( still possible ), which isn't really changed much ( for the exception of cool tricks that was possible to do with wine charges and stuff ) until the newest changes ofc

@@clockwork_king the item isn't a sword replacement

@@C0ACHY It wouldn’t hurt to have alternatives, I was excited for the Mace because it felt like a viable weapon you could use instead of a sword for the lategame but now it feels like a niche boss one-shotter

Try the official feedback discord.

@@slicedlime there's a feedback discord?

Ahh yes crazy high damage not worth carrying

@@C0ACHY But you have to go crazy high to use the ability properly, and I know I sound like I hate the mace but I don’t lol

It's still very powerful, just not OP

It oneshots players in full protection 4 netherite armor from 9 blocks. Or in other words just use it with a wind charge to oneshot any player regardless of armor. Still pretty broken.

@@fireking6308 it doesn't one shot players with wind charges i tested it on a husk with netherite proc 4.

attributes changed a few snapshots back

are u sure ur using /give @p light[block_state={level:"13"}] 1 ...?

@@Satwr oooooomg dude you've no idea how much energy i spent searching for the right command or bracket to make it work and you solve it ! Thx you ^~^

Yeah like the trident isn't forced to ONLY be a throwable weapon, its also a perfectly usable melee weapon, hope they change it so that the mace is not forced to only ever do its gimmick.

The mace is a gimmick tho its meant to be heavy but do a bunch of damage if you want to put in the effort

Recoding an entire area of mechanics can lead to many issues, so it's no suprise that making the enchantments data driven could've broken a lot of things

cause they rewrote a bunch of stuff

Kingbdogz was talking about them on some discord server, I believe he said something In between the lines of them not having enough time to add them/work on them, but they know that people like it, so it's not all hope lost

@@pqdhiwyw oh, thats good to know

Hm, actually bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-189847 ("Cave sounds can play in the End dimension") is the only open report I can find. So maybe it changed over time and I have just not noticed because I always have them off.

The entire enchantment system of the game was data driven. Nothing strange about some enchantment bugs appearing as a result.

It's still the strongest weapon in the game for PvP because Breach is unnerfed. 0.5 speed is too slow though I agree with that.

@@SeaOfPixels idc about pvp

@@k90v85 Then the mace isn't for you, even when the mace was at its strongest it had little use in survival.

@@SeaOfPixels it did

@@k90v85 None of the changes have significantly changed its usecases in survival.

Since forever

@@slicedlime no way I’ve been playing this game for over 12 years and never knew about that I refuse

@@enderspider5001 I felt the same way, and I only found out about it from having to keep that code alive.

Unfortunately this update isn't improving the performance in any noticable manner

@@marcely1199 its improving chunk loading

​@@k90v85yeah slightly
