[MuzikBike]

Quite happy about the fact that scaffolding's texture has been tweaked to look like the new bamboo blocks. It wasn't announced in the changelog and not many people seem to be talking about it, but the fact that they were ever so slightly different before annoyed me far more than it should and I'm glad to see more consistency in the game's visuals alongside the vex changes.

Speaking of bamboo: it's obviously fantastic that the new bamboo blocks can be rotated. Hay bales, another bundle-type block, can also be rotated, but dried kelp blocks cannot. This is something that has bothered me since their introduction - surely rotatable dried kelp blocks would make sense?

[FPAlius]

I really like "Enderman Vwoops" as a subtitle

[xicad]

i love how the vex holds the sword now

[MisterMythical]

I like how Mojang is addressing the community’s concerns with this update. Great stuff so far!

[iansarmiento]

You guys are doing a great job with the creative inventory organisation.

[ταυ-ηο]

I find it very strange that the pack format has jumped from 9 to 12 in a single version. It just seems confusing for resourcepack makers.

Aside from that, the new vex looks amazing

[BrunoDanUy]

Amazing work, Lime. As always!
Most other creators quickly go through the "new features" changelog, but you showcase and provide examples of other minor changes and bugfixes, that also highlight all the work Mojang does to improve the game.
Without doubt the best snapshot videos!

[SamiTheAnxiousBean]

love the bamboo block texture tbh, joins the List of stockpile blocks among Hay, Tnt and Dried kelp!

[faeriehearthwitch]

Excited about the creative inventory being reorganized! Much tidier! Thank you! I love the camels!!

[NoraNoita]

The Colored Block tab makes super sense, nice one.

[TwentyPastgone]

after all this years we finally have THE WAFFLE BLOCK

[DantevanGemert]

I really like what you guys are doing with the creative menu, and that you're giving the "open to lan" screen some love!

And thanks very much for the extensive update video as always!

[flexico]

I love that slow-mo clip of the goat butting the creeper off the cliff~

[fazubattlecaster]

Thank you, slicedlime. Apologies for being late to the party.

[dr.antonius]

Wow, all those bugs and slight texture issues that I didn't know about but am glad to see fixed anyway. I'm a bit skeptical about the Vex new look, but I'm sure there will be a texture pack/model pack to revert it if I end up really disliking it.

[VandonSilverwolf]

Happy to see new snapshot videos again

[connerduncan]

In additional news, helmets no longer render on vexes.

about 3 and a half years too late for that one

if you know, you know

[Spatzleboy]

Your Snapshot videos are always the best. Not missing anything and everything explained thoroughly!

I always thought the allay was like a failed experiment of the evokers into summoning a vex
