I remember when parrots were added you could feed them cookies. The thing is chocolate is lethal for parrots in real life so people complained that kids would replicate this in real life. Instead of just removing it they made it so that feeding parrots cookies instantly killed them leading the all the kids who heard that they could feed their parrots cookies having there pets die along with trolls convincing lesser known players to do the same. It was absolutely hilarious.
actually they changed it because too many kids fed their parrots cookies and killed them it wasn't because of complaining it was because it actually happened
Made my little sister do this to her parrot that I didn't know she had for like 10 weeks maybe in her world she was working on. Needless to say she doesn't trust anything that spews out of my mouth. And I have bite marks on my arm for reasons that may or may not relate to a 6 year old going ape shit over pixels on a screen
I just can't wait for when the giant gets some functionality. It would be so cool to see this huge zombie patrolling a plains or a mountain with a horde at its feet like a wandering boss
I think they're keeping it in the code just for modder's purposes, so they can have something with a large hit box to play around with. They've been very silent about it tho so I won't put my hopes up.
23:36 you can actually sort of can tame foxes. if you're breading wild foxes, those children don't run away from you anymore when you're walking near them, and the offsprings of those second generation foxes don't run away if you're sprinting near them. so you can kinda tame foxes.
I like how the minecraft comunity was saying we want more golems, than when they had the chance to get a new golem they voted for the flying blue thing.
I still don't understand why Mojang didn't just add all the mobs from the vote. The modding community can add hundreds of new cool and unique mobs, while the much larger Mojang team can only afford to add a few mobs per update.
Because there is no risk for a modder to add any mob that they like. A dev has to think about community reception, bugs and glitches, game balance, the feedback and reception of the entire dev team, its synergy with bedrock code, its effect on all player types (builders, redstoners, pvpers tenured and newbie, etc.), making it simple enough for a toddler to have fun with and complex enough for older players to appreciate, on top of they are not just adding to the code like a modder does but changing the entire code so that the new feature does not make bugs for the whole game. You must remember that minecraft is a game without a demographic so the player base can be anyone. A modder is only worried about the thoughts of a few hundred people on average, and even if they release something glitchy they can just shrug it off. When mojang adds something to the game it effects EVERYONE, so a lot more organization and planning is put behind that and one mob could take years before it gets the ok from that strict process.
26:18 Hearing the active smile in your voice when talking about the Axolotl filled me with an unexplainable joy. God Axolotls are so cool. You have a new sub.
I would like to think that the design mistake that was the creeper paved the way for minecraft to have more unique fantasy creatures than your typical tolkien inspired tropes. Things like ghast, shulkers, endermen, blazes, striders, allays, wardens... All unique mobs that do have their origins from other fantasy but are free enough from their influences that they become their own thing. If they never went this direction I imagine minecraft just being a straight forward earth simulator than the fantasy sandbox that made it so popular.
I quite like this shift in content from you! From well-crafted meme videos to well-crafted video essays; I really like this! Great job! Been watching you since 2016!
I agree that the original mobs are the most memorable. The later additions are all notably more polished/detailed in a way that gives them a broader appeal, but misses a lot of the charm as a result.
My first time playing minecraft was on minecraft Lite edition. The only mobs in the world was zombie, which spawned everywhere. Survival mode in that game is what I call a true minecraft horror
good vid :) fun fact: the creeper is a fucked up pig - notch misrotated the pig body to be upright and was like ZAMN thats creepy, im gonna do something with that
The first video I watched from you was the lions vs Pokemon video. This is the second one. The emotional whiplash between those is intense, but I enjoyed both of them either way.
That gives me an idea for when the conditions are right an untamed axolotl can transform into a large salamander beast that spits waves of water at you (this slows you down so it can catch up and bite you) and there could also be Nether versions, populating the Nether's lava sea with more beings.
you actually missed a few! some of the earliest survival tests included billboarded mobs (which I believe were taken from another game) which were hostile and were meant to test combat
A pencil is a kind of writing equipment that is also used to draw, usually on paper. Most pencil cores are made of graphite powder mixed with a clay binder. So, a pencil is usually made with a piece of graphite mixed with clay that has a wood case around it. The shape is usually a hexagonal prism but some pencils are square or cylinder. Colored pencils are a kind that do not use greyish silver graphite. Instead, the core is colorful. Colored pencils or crayons are usually meant for drawing rather than writing. The important difference between pens and pencils is that the tip of a pencil is made of solid graphite (or other material) which is rubbed off onto the paper. A pen has a tip, usually made of metal, with liquid ink coming out and onto the paper. Writing with a pen can smudge when it is still wet. Writing from a pencil can be erased, but writing from a pen usually cannot, unless it uses a special type of ink and eraser. An early writing tool was the reed pen used by ancient Egyptians, who wrote with ink on sheets of papyrus paper. Another early writing instrument was the stylus, which was a thin metal stick, often made from lead. It was used for scratching onto black wax that covered white wood, a method used by the Romans. The word pencil comes from the Latin word pencillus which means "little tail". It is an invention of the 16th century in England. Some time before 1565 (it may have been as early as 1500), an enormous deposit of graphite was discovered in Borrowdale, Cumbria. The locals found that it was very useful for marking sheep. This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid, and it could easily be sawn into sticks. This is still the only large scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form. Chemistry was in its infancy and the substance was thought to be a form of lead. Consequently, it was called plumbago (Latin for "lead ore"). The black core of pencils is still referred to as lead, even though it never contained the element lead. The value of graphite was soon realized, mainly because it could be used to line the moulds for cannonballs. The mines were taken over by the Crown and guarded. When sufficient stocks of graphite had been accumulated, the mines were flooded to prevent theft until more was required. Graphite had to be smuggled out for use in pencils. Because graphite is soft, it requires some form of holder. Graphite sticks were at first wrapped in string or in sheepskin for stability. The news of the usefulness of these early pencils spread far and wide, attracting the attention of artists all over the known world. England continued to have a monopoly on the production of pencils until a method of reconstituting the graphite powder was found. The distinctively square English pencils continued to be made with sticks cut from natural graphite into the 1860s. The town of Keswick, near the original findings of block graphite, has a pencil museum. The first attempt to manufacture graphite sticks from powdered graphite was in Nuremburg, Germany, in 1662. It used a mixture of graphite, sulphur, and antimony. Residual graphite from a pencil stick is not poisonous, and graphite is harmless if consumed. The Italians first thought of wooden holders. In 1560, an Italian couple named Simonio and Lyndiana Bernacotti created the first blueprints for the modern carpentry pencil to mark their carpentry pieces. Their version was instead a flat, oval, more compact type of pencil. They did this at first by hollowing out a stick of juniper wood. Shortly thereafter, a superior technique was discovered: two wooden halves were carved, a graphite stick inserted, and the two halves then glued together-essentially the same method in use to this day. English and German pencils were not available to the French during the Napoleonic Wars. France was under naval blockade imposed by Great Britain and could not import the pure graphite sticks from the British Grey Knotts mines - the only known source in the world for solid graphite. France was also unable to import the inferior German graphite pencil substitute. It took the efforts of an officer in Napoleon's army to change this. In 1795, NicholasJacques Conté discovered a method of mixing powdered graphite with clay and forming the mixture into rods that were then fired in a kiln. By varying the ratio of graphite to clay, the hardness of the graphite rod could also be varied. This method of manufacture, which had been earlier discovered by the Austrian Joseph Hardtmuth of Kohl-l-Noh in 1790, remains in use. In England, pencils continued to be made from whole sawn graphite. Henry Bessemer's first successful invention (1838) was a method of compressing graphite powder into solid graphite thus allowing the waste from sawing to be reused American colonists imported pencils from Europe until after the American Revolution. Benjamin Franklin advertised pencils for sale in his Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729, and George Washington used a three-inch pencil when he surveyed the Ohio Territory in 1762. It is said that William Munroe, a cabinetmaker in Concord, Massachusetts made the first American wood pencils in 1812. This was not the only pencil-making occurring in Concord. Henry David Thoreau discovered how to make a good pencil out of inferior graphite using clay as the binder; this invention was prompted by his father's pencil factory in Concord, which employed graphite found in New Hampshire in 1821 by Charles Dunbar On 30 March 1858, Hymen Lipman received the first patent for attaching an eraser to the end of a pencil. In 1862 Lipman sold his patent to Joseph Reckendorfer for $100,000, who went to sue the pencil manufacturer Faber-Castell for infringement. In 1875 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against Reckendorfer declaring the patent invalid. The metal band used to mate the eraser with pencil is called a ferrule. The first attempt to manufacture graphite sticks from powdered graphite was in Nuremberg, Germany in 1662. They used a mixture of graphite, sulfur and antimony. Though usable, they were not as good as the English pencils. English and German pencils were not available to the French during the Napoleonic wars. It took the efforts of an officer in Napoleon's army to change this. In 1795 Nicholas Jacques Conté discovered a method of mixing powdered graphite with clay and forming the mixture into rods which were then fired in a kiln. By varying the ratio of graphite to clay, the hardness of the graphite rod could also be varied (the more clay, the harder the pencil, and the lighter the color of the mark). This method of making pencils is still used today. Today, pencils are made industrially by mixing finely ground graphite and clay powders, adding water, forming long spaghetti-like strings, and firing them in a kiln. The resulting strings are dipped in oil or molten wax which seeps into the tiny holes of the material, resulting in smoother writing. A juniper or incense-cedar plank with several long parallel grooves is cut to make something called a slate, and the graphite/clay strings are inserted into the grooves. Another grooved plank is glued on top, and the whole thing is then cut into individual pencils, which are then varnished or painted. A few common brands of colored pencils (among other items) are Crayola, RoseArt and Cra-Z-Art.
Can't believe this isn't a Dr. Seuss children's book. That's the only way that I, an adult in his early-to-mid 20's can process information. But seriously, nice vid, glad to see you cover this in the way you did. I've been playing since early alpha, and it's wild to think back to when each of these mobs and features were new, and how each one changed how you'd play minecraft
My problem with most new jobs is they don't do anything, or Mojang doesn't want them to do anything because they don't wanna teach "bad messages". Pandas, foxes, polar bears, frogs, fireflies, goats, llamas, all useless mobs.
I wish they would add more mobs that interacted with blocks in general, or some kind of invasive mob that you essentially would have to deal with once it showed up, like giant ants that could make a hive in underground caves that slowly expand and eventually go above ground to attack other mobs and stuff, could you imagine you're chilling in your village and suddenly there's these giant ants rising from the ground and eating villagers with iron golems trying to fend them off? on one hand I imagine that being really cool but i could also be really anoying, just suddenly having to deal with ants that start breaking shit and killing all your important villagers.
How the heck did the phantom win the vote. Like all the other choices have pretty unique designs and abilities and everyone settled on a flying stingray.
Also worth noting that Endermens' eyes were originally green and emitted smoke particles instead of their current purple ones, and Zombie Horses could originally only be summoned through commands.
