News in Snapshot 24w40a: Winter Drop Experiment! Pale Garden! Creaking!

I absolutely love this concept but i feel likr ot could be executed a lot better.

First of all, the pale oak tree should just look like a willow tree. Itd make it unique and itll also fit with its sapling. I dont know why this sint already the case.

Also, i think the creaking should do a LOT more damage than it does now. Right now, it's more of a nuisance than an actual threat, especially when youve yot armor

Fog would also be SO good for this biome!

Why does it look like a ash forest

we really need those ambient sound systems for other biomes!

the size of this update is okayyy but PLEASE ship it with the bundle update it is not okay to have an update with just one item (for java)

We need a mob who literally caused the Pale Gardens

I wish the trees had a unique shape, mangrove swamps are a variation of swamps but the trees are different. Also some flowers in the garden wouldn’t hurt

I really like that high contrast highlight feature, will definitely use it!

I really like the idea of having supernatural / weird biomes. The normal world generation gets really boring, biomes like this spice it up! What about a new hallow biome in the future, being the exact opposite of the pale garden?

I love the fact that they are doing more frequent updates, which are not as ambitious in scope. This new winter drop looks excellent and fits the game well in my opinion

I love the new ambient system, I hope we get much more of that

I wish the creaking heart had a rare chance to spawn in any tree with significantly higher rates in the pale garden. I hate how all these new features are tied to sort of ugly and difficult to navigate biomes where I'm never going to build anything in.

Creakings always attacking the pumpkined is intriguing suppose, spookish mob gets more hostile if your vision is all messed up.

Honestly Creaking seems more interesting than I initially expected.

Having what's essentially a weak lich of sorts is intriguing. Also, maybe could be neat to make the heart into a sort of a "security block"? Have the creaking be "matched to" whoever placed the heart down, like a golem to whoever put it's head on, so it'll not attack that player, but have it still attack other players?

Oo, maybe you could also have some way to have the creaking spawn in with some effect or other on it by modifying the heart or somesuch!

Minecraft need an improvement in the animations IN ALL THE ANIMATIONS

I’m really waiting on some more features of the Creaking to be announced, because so far there doesn’t actually seem to be any reason to seek it out aside from novelty.

I wonder what is the lore behind why Pillagers avoid Creeking.

Imagine if Pale Forests spawned in ten chunk thick megastrips that stretched from worldborder to worldborder, so that refusing to traverse them meant being cut right off from a significant chunk of the overworld.

...imagine if elytra failed the second you entered their airspace even.

I didn't know slicedlime had his own channel. Cool!

I'm usually very critical of the newer additions to Minecraft but I gotta say I'm absolutely in love with the creaking! It's such a cool and unique mob.
My main compaint is that it's not threatening enough. It should deal a lot more damage and be a little faster.

Ngl the creaking needs to be buffed
He is slow
Doesn't deal that much damage
And it can be outsmarted by going 3 blocks

Ambient particles like firefly would pair well with such a desaturated biome (copium)

The creaking is so good, if only you could make him deal more damage or make him way faster

White flowers, and white pumpkins would make it more like a garden. White dirt would also be nice. Also, add more reason to visit it (I think you were planning on adding one though) that isn’t something you can grow

Winter Drop: Added Scareillagers
Scares away Illagers
Snaps your neck if you don't look at it.
I am Root

I cant believe I missed live!

Can we all please take time to admire that Pale Oak Door 😍

Definitely my new favourite door texture in the whole game (sorry Dark Oak, you have been demoted)

Hey slice ! Thank you so much for everything that you do
also is it me or the tint on the biome changed since the minecraft live ?

The trees should still be unique, at least slightly different from the dark oak forest trees

The addition of this biome makes woodland mansions much more rare than they already are. They should be able to generate partially in the Pale Garden given that they begin generating inside the Dark Oak Forest, like how bastions don’t generate in Basalt Deltas unless the generation begins in a different biome.

It would be really cool if using a name tag on a creaking mob would create a persistent version of it, similar to the spawn egg version. :)

i really like the new update about the creaking and pale garden and obviosly the bundles i've been waiting for those bundles

Hi back

cool idea but adds nothing to the game besides decorative blocks

The concept of Creaking itself sounds pretty interesting and the Pale Garden creates a strange and mysterious atmosphere, but I think the main feature of the biome and its atmosphere is ruined by the fact that due to the spawning of other hostile mobs in it and in nearby biomes, the player constantly has a need to kill them, which distracts from interacting with Creaking and generally makes the biome more like other biomes at night. I think it could either remove the spawn of other hostile mobs and make Creaking more of a priority (increase the chance of heart blocks appearing, increase its speed and damage), or make a special variation of pale oak that spawns between the Garden and another biome, clusters of which could block the path of other mobs and add a semblance of fog in the biome to make it more difficult to find Creaking.

Someone needs to do a compilation of like button press encouragements.

And I'm still waiting on the Horse Armor Enchantment Glint to be restored. Plus, still no Netherite Horse Armor or Horse Armor Trimmings. Come on Mojang, is it really that difficult? There's a mod that can do it, but I don't use mods. Maybe you could use that mod as a starting point. Sigh, wake me up when the Horse Armor issues are fixed. Rockatoa, Brickticks out!

I really think you should be able to name tag these, so that they survive during the day.. Just so you can put them in minigames and maps, otherwise they’re pretty unusable and useless in survival, since everyone would just sleep to avoid them.

I think the pale garden should have a fog effect. also I think it’d be better if some creaking could teleport when behind block, to prevent trapping and to keep people on their toes.

Thank you!

I came to hear opinions and feedback for the creaking and got purely unbiased informational video. Also the editing looked Clean. Thank you and I’m glad I’ve discovered your channel

The creaking should do alot more damage and there needs to be a reason to go there at night

It’s scary!

3/5 the day we get yellow and purple leaves i will be the happiest man alive

TL;DR
allow the scaling of light values (currently only 0-15) or the scaling of the decay of light values (currently 1 light level / block)

a suggestion regarding lighting
to my knowledge, we got (not entirely) configurable world heights, the ability to make entities (not arbitrarily) large and small, modify speeds and step heights, meaning we can almost "play the game at a larger scale". for example, adventure maps can be built at a larger scale, say 4block widths/metre. in general, worldheight and entity scales have both been increased up to 16 TIMES. except LIGHTING is not currently scalable, and 16 times larger buildings suffer from extreme darkness. spamming the light block is a solution, but an extremely tedious one, requiring one to manually produce light gradients. i propose a more user-friendly solution.

yes, i know this is not the suggestion box, please dont pester about that. honestly trying to contribute.

Illusioner is scared of creakings

Winter Drop? In Spring?
