[conure]

finally, after all these years... sword blocking has returned

[malick]

we are THIS close to having custom textures components on blocks. I'm waiting for the pandora box to be opened

[davepusey]

Your techincal videos are always greatly appreciated. Thank you Mr Lime.

[EpicGamerX]

I always enjoy the new technical changes Mojang adds to the game. Vanilla resource packs basically have CIT now.

Also sword blocking makes a return! Love the new item components.

[bentri]

i hope that we see data-driven variants for all mobs in a future update, that Plus bringing back the ability to change an entity's model (to a different entity) from the voting April fools snapshot would be incredible for data packs

[BrackenStrike]

I wanna add sword parrying to minecraft. Swords could have a very small horizontal blocking angle but block 100% melee attacks. Idk, I should probably do some pvp testing to make sure it doesn't feel off.

33 minutes!!!???
WAKE UP BABY, A NEW SLICE VIDEO IS OUT

[teslainvestah]

if a cat is owned by another mob and that mob gets unloaded, does the cat sit down?
if two dogs own each other and you separate them, which teleports to which?
if a dog is owned by a bee and you punch a different bee, does it anger the dog?
if a beehive contains a cat that owns itself, and you break the hive, does the cat come out sitting down or standing up?

[coolreader]

It's really awesome how comprehensive these technical videos always are :)

[Materaz]

finally vanilla item name based textures

[Catastrophe]

I always appreciate these videos! This video must have taken a long time to edit.

[itzangel]

NICE!
Cant wait for the upcoming technical changes for the brivant visuals, hopefuly soon 🙏

27:23 Portal reference, now i know he's thinking with portals

[alysoffoxdale]

As always, thanks for the amazingly comprehensive update coverage!

[mineland]

The focus of moving a lot of things into snake_case is showing. Some stuff like armor stands and misc entity data fields are still not in that, which makes it a bit of a pain for checking namespace paths to it. I hope it can be a reasonable thing soon

[Sam-pmvy]

Always appreciate the level of detail you put in your technical videos

[donutstudios]

as much as im loving these new technical changes i hope minecraft commands/datapacks don't lose their fun in the future the limitations are what make them fun trying to work around them

[Pikatscha]

Love the data driven entity variants! But why can't every mob have the ability? For mapmaking that would be great because I like to use piglins for player dummys and it would be great to add new textures without replacing the default piglin.

[leeuwevdh]

I barely understand any of this, but I’m dropping a comment to show my support!

[pesegolsson]

lots of goodies in this update, thanks for these videos!
