Crafting a Crafting System: How We Make Minecraft - Episode 2

Crafting - it’s what made our species great! Well, that and the opposable thumb, but we’re still not sure about adding that to Minecraft... Discover the Herculean effort we put into crafting a crafting system that doesn’t even let you zoom out or place multiple blocks at once. Yeah, sorry about that.

we wondering how you can stack 64 blocks of snow while you can only stack snowballs to 16

“Step by step guide to ripping us off” I love that part

“What do you think the most unintuitive crafting recipe is?”

Me with a button:

"Be logical"


Then why does 6 full blocks craft 4 stairs which are 3/4 of a block instead of 8?

*2 realisations:*
1: minecarts are just upside down iron helmets
2: the recipe to make iron/diamond/gold chestplates are just crafting an iron/diamond/gold block without the final ingot.

“A step-by-step guide to ripping us off”


I like their humor.





Edit: Why did a “joke from video + [subtitle]” comment get so many likes? I guess some people thought I meant Mojang’s overall humor, not specific to this quote? Yeah, yeah let’s just go with that and pretend that was my original intent.

When he started doing random crafts it gave me a nostalgia attack

Stop trailing off and stick to the question: *Why didn't you add -Removed Herobrine?*

[dersps]

This is just Mojang telling us that there will never be Autocrafting

[anandmathur]

The next episode should be: "How we design biomes in Minecraft"

[saldan]

"No offence capitalism"

Minecoin : Hi.

[Naokarma]

This is just their way of saying "we're not adding autocrafting, stop asking."

[xanderkleiber]

We got Steve's cannon voice when he was on fire. Think about that.

HYPE EDIT: OMFG SOMEONE SAW THIS AND SUGGESTED IT TO TECHNOBLADE! TECHNOBLADE USED THE THING I FOUND! I MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN ANY CREDIT BUT THE SHEER VALIDATION GRANTED FROM THAT IS ENOUGH! THIS IS JUST DJSUDNBDJC-

Mojang: Minecraft recipes are easy and intuitive

Fireworks: Firework stars have the requirement of at least one dye and one gunpowder. To change the shape you may add a gold nugget for a star, a feather for burst, any head for a creeper face, or a fire charge for a large ball. Additionally, glowstone dust may be added to produce a twinkle effect, and a diamond may be added for a trail effect. The two may also be added together for both effects. After you craft the star, if you can put it in a crafting grid with another dye to make said star fade to that color. After that fireworks may be crafted without the star, however they will not explode and will just go up into the air and disappear (though this is very useful for elytra, as fireworks with stars do damage). All fireworks must contain at least one gunpowder and 1 paper, however up to 7 stars, and up to 2 additional gunpowder may be added. Adding stars means that all stars added will explode together when the fireworks goes off, and increases the damage done when fired out of a firework crossbow doing up to 18 damage on a direct hit to an unarmored player (6 to a player with full protection 4 netherite minus a chest plate for elytra) if combined with multi-shot (or damage done to yourself if you use them with elytra R.I.P.). And yes, the damage is done aoe so they are amazing for dealing with pigmen. Adding gunpowder will increase the duration the firework will travel before exploding. During this duration, you will actually be unable to land with elytra, however you will be kept at the rocket’s top speed. This makes duration 3 rockets very useful for long distance elytra travel, doing tricks in the air, and it allows you travel straight up for the length of the effect.

Edit is for spelling and add some things I forgot btw
