They should change the launcher's icon for a crafting bench. It would prevent mistaking it for the actual game if you keep the launcher in the background

Thought the whole "sherd" thing was weird at first, but now that I know what it means, I honestly quite appreciate how Mojang decided to go for accuracy. I can honestly say I learned something today, and I appreciate that. Also probably a huge win for any archaeology nerds who were bugged as all hell seeing them called "shards"

2:53 nametags on mobs only appear when looking at them it hit range

As an archaeologist, I was so happy they changed this!

Chunk border lag is fixed?
Bro, I've been working on a massive basement for my survival world, and it has been driving me crazy going across each chunk just for me to get a lag spike. I ended up downloading the mod, but I'm so glad that it seems like they finally fixed it because it will make it.
So happy. Thanks developers :)

[jacobsjo]

Glad you found the generator useful! But yeah, with all the gravel you can't really see the actual structure. I made this tool to help worldgen-datapack creators debug their custom structure generation, the vanilla structures are really only a bonus.

[Yume]

The ruins also seems to have less random colors to them and have a more uniformed look to the color palate.

[spangle]

I've been avoiding spoilers for so long. I couldn't resist finding out what a sherd is, then had to finish the video. This update is looking epic. I love exploring and collecting things.

[mattmadson]

I really love how thorough, undramatic (no YouTube voice), and consistent you are in making snapshot reviews, it's one of my favorite parts of being a gamer - learning the BTS info!

[ThisOneCassie]

the pottery sherds make my lil museum studies student brain very happy! i spent SO LONG listening to lectures about ceramics and conservation and now my cozy lil minecraft game has the proper terminology!!

[endermonarch]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mojang added an enchantment that is like a “luck of the sea” alongside the new loot tables for brushes that would increase the likelihood of getting something from the rare loot table.

[shanethebrownwolf]

I know not everyone is going to be a fan of the name change, but I appreciate when they do this; adding in bits of tangential learning

[HeartGamer]

I didn't even know that Archaeology had its own term for pieces of pottery/materials. Learn something new everyday

[faresbejaoui]

very excited for this update to be released!

[noxmore]

The return command is so cool! It kinda seems like they want to make Minecraft commands a full scripting language, which would be awesome for datapack devs

[fisch]

The return command is actually huge for any kind of datapack. Previously we would have had to create a scoreboard entry to transfer data between functions, which meant nesting functions was a nightmare since you can't write two different values to a scoreboard. Return skips all that nonsense and makes things much easier.

[duckified.]

OH MY GOD. i've been suffering with the chunk lag spikes issues for SO LONG NOW, THANK YOU

[Tencryn]

It's amazing that they fixed the lag spike issue after all this time, even if it took them a few years as it often plagued structures with a drastic change in height. I'm glad that members of the community were able to come together to figure out what exactly the issue was as I certainly had not the foggiest when I made the bug report.

[QUBIQUBED]

They should make it so that the green outline is usually gray or white and turns green when clicked

[Titioplay]

Oh lord they heard us, hope bedrock is refined like that too, crossing chunks is a constant pain
