What, no vote? It took them 6 years to come up with a skeleton version of the Drowned. https://twitter.com/Minecraft/status/1757801059764912506

They're more like poison Strays, which predate Drowned by three versions, but since Strays barely ever spawn I don't blame you for forgetting they exist. (The same goes for the Husks, which were also added in 1.10 and are equally as forgettable due to only ever spawning in deserts.) I like the idea of elemental variants of mobs but they really need to be more common. I guess the trial chambers will help with that, because the only reason I now remember that Strays exist is because they show up fairly often in those. Edit: Except Drowned. They don't need to make Drowned more common. Fortis fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Feb 14, 2024 |

Strays and Husks are just a skin swap that does a debuff. They don't even have different AI or anything. You could pump out a dozen variants or one for every major biome in an afternoon.

Different variants on drowned would be neat too, there's already different temperature ocean biomes. Husks could be put on savannas too. IIRC biomes already fall into a cold<>hot and wet<>dry alignment chart so there's not a lot of reason to not make them different. Creepers could have different explosion effects. Could also add more variants on passive mobs. Phantoms could just go away forever.

Drowned are unbelievably loving annoying and make it practically impossible to do anything underwater in or anywhere near a river. So now I'll never be able to work underwater in swamps either, hooray, thanks Microsoft!

I mean the trial chambers are actually shaping up to be pretty cool so far, and that's been in the last 4 months or so. I know it's cool to say that they never add anything good to the game and don't do anything, but honestly most of the 1.21 content seems pretty great so far. To clarify, I don't necessarily trust them to balance the spawn rate of the bogged properly, but I do at least appreciate that they have a lower firing rate and are more fragile; it at least means Mojang's thinking about keeping them manageable in the long run.

I feel like drowned would be fine if they could only spawn in a water column with a zero light level bottom block, so you could at least spawn proof effectively.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

I think they'd be alright with different spawn conditions like what you describe along with a reduced spawn rate, as well as maybe just not spawning holding tridents at all. Keeping them away from me isn't too bad, but getting forked to death from 100 blocks away is bullshit. The fact these they're the only source for tridents is also complete nonsense, given that they're the primary aquatic mob you'd actually want to use a drat trident against and they barely ever drop the drat things.

Another viable idea would be to just not have them be in the game at all, because they are poinitless bullshit.

Vib Rib posted:My problem with trial chambers is the same as my problem with woodland mansions and spawner dungeons and stuff like that. So many additions these last several years have felt like adding extremely rare content with no way of tracking it down that you just have to sort of stumble on. Random, super infrequent, and limited points of interest instead of adding things people deal with in everyday play. I know the game has to have stuff to be worth finding, reasons to explore, but every update there's new uncraftable stuff and hidden PoIs and it pulls further away from the self sufficient crafter angle that hooked me in the first place. I'm not sure what the rarity is, but they seem pretty common to me. They're definitely more common than the mansions, which I agree are complete bullshit. I never really considered dungeons to be too uncommon, myself, but they are a huge pain in the rear end to find if you're actively looking for them. All I really know for sure is that every time I've played with experimental settings on, I've been able to find trial chambers down in the deepslate layer without really trying. They seem to intersect caves a lot due to their size, so it really feels like they're not that much of a chore to find.

I just watched Xisuma's snapshot update to explain the details with the Bogged skeleton and if he's quoting correctly I'm actually pretty okay with them adding this. According to him, the trial chambers were previously spawning skeletons with poison arrows, but the community suggested they should be their own type of skeleton. I guess the strays in the game already shoot slowness arrows? So it appears that Mojang agreed with the public opinion on this one and added it. Of course, that gets into the whole discussion about them not adding tons of other requested features but I don't feel like diving into that can of worms so I'll just say that I don't really mind this addition at all.

A retextured skeleton with different HP and different arrows isn't a new feature, the engine already supports everything to implement it. They question is why haven't they done that for literally every mob.

Please be considerate when complaining about the pace, quality, or design of their updates. The developer is a real person and they have to make everything by themselves using a computer inside Minecraft. You couldn't do any better under those constraints.

Just Andi Now posted:Please don't give them the idea to make nether variant creepers and phantoms. I actually think phantoms work a lot better as Nether-only spawns. The Incendium datapack/mod adds a biome to the Nether where phantoms can spawn naturally and it’s actually pretty cool. Due to the Nether already being what it is, it doesn’t feel particularly out of nowhere to have some undead manta ray shitbag swooping down at you, and it’s nice to have a way to collect phantom membranes while still having doInsomnia set to false. Also, to reiterate: they spawn in exactly one biome that is by no means the most common one. If they were more common it would be awful. In contrast, I did once try a datapack that added charged creepers to the Nether and I do not recommend that one. That being said, honestly, everyone should check out all the Stardust Labs datapacks. Terralith, Incendium, and Nullscape are a lot of fun and add some really great worldgen without even adding any new blocks or items (Incendium has weapons with custom effects but it’s just datapack shenanigans). They’re available as Forge and Fabric mods, too. Highly recommended.

I'll take that as a compliment because those are my screenshots  Texture pack is straight vanilla, shaders are Complementary Shaders - Unbound e: Entirely unrelated, but you know what would be useful? Making it so that Conduit Power prevents drowned from spawning within its sphere of power. The "two hearts damage every 2 seconds within 8 blocks of it" is absolute bullshit for the effort required and everybody loving hates drowned.

Pretty sure we get all 8. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/new-minecraft-wolves https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-24w10a "Because today eight new wolf variations are coming to testing in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition beta and preview AND Minecaft: Java Edition snapshot." "Pale Wolf - The familiar Wolf variant that now spawns in the Taiga biome, with a default pack size of 4 Woods Wolf - A variant that spawns in the Forest biome. This will be the dominant Wolf variant that you will be able to find in the Overworld, since the Forest biome is very common Ashen Wolf - A variant that spawns in the Snowy Taiga biome Black Wolf - A variant that spawns in the Old Growth Pine Taiga biome, in smaller packs of 2 to 4 Chestnut Wolf - A variant that spawns in the Old Growth Spruce Taiga biome, in smaller packs of 2 to 4 Rusty Wolf - A variant that spawns in a new location for wolves - the Sparse Jungle biome, in smaller packs of 2 to 4 Spotted Wolf - A variant that spawns in a new location for wolves - the Savanna Plateau biome, in larger packs of 4 to 8 Striped Wolf - A variant that spawns in a new location for wolves, the Wooded Badlands biome, in larger packs of 4 to 8 Snowy Wolf - A variant that spawns in the Grove biome.

I believe in recent snapshots the dogs now have double health and the armor completely negates all damage the dog takes until the armor's durability depletes.
