Head over to my second channel to see the three new mobs for the mob vote!

Fun fact: cube maps are actually the dev term because when saved on the computer, it looks like an unfolded cube and when they stitch it together in the engine, they place the texture on a cube without shadows and it looks like it encompasses your full field of view :)

A cubemap is a technique for mapping a 2d texture onto the outside (or in this case inside) of a 3d object.

It's just a reference to the specific implementation details of the title screen panorama. The featured world is not actually loaded, it's just a 2d texture wrapped onto a cube (or potentially sphere) the camera is sitting inside.

I wonder what the seed finding community will think of this snapshot. This seems like a massive change for them.

The mountain will be even more cooler if they have huge waterfalls between rivers

Based on how few changes there are, it looks like they are almost done polishing. considering how they said that we wouldn't be getting deep dark information in MC live, and this snapshot, I am predicting the next snapshot will almost certainly be deep dark

cube map is a technical term in 3d modelling: if you deform textures in a certain way and stick them on the inside of a cube, then put the camera inside it, it looks like you're surrounded. this is usually used in video games to make low poly backgrounds that you can never reach. this is also used in minecraft's main menu (hence why the menu panorama files are 6, one for each side of the cube) and in the end sky rendering (if you set that texture to sometihing like just a square with borders, you'll see that the sky is just a massive cube around the player.

As far as demonstrating the "running against a wall" change goes, I think it would be most noticable in a 1-wide hallway; aiming "straight" forward manually is virtually impossible, but with the change that slight imperfection shouldn't be a problem anymore

I feel like everybody is highly underestimating how much people run into the side of blocks

5:29 in the past, the jungle end was only to generate between a jungle and a swamp, and now it seem that it just genrates everywhere

[IngiR]

That is some serious dedication covering the updates almost immediately.. Props to you X

[SolstaceWinters]

As far as the mobs go, I'm okay with the Allay and Copper Golem. Not a fan of the Glare. It's basically just a new bat. But I'm a big fan of golems in media, and I feel fey creatures fit the minecraft aesthetic, so I'm cool with the other two.

[DerFinder]

I believe the sprinting thing is ment for when you walk in a small space and might touch the walls on the side! So only when you basically walk straight along the wall

Haven't had a chance to follow Minecraft actuality for a while. It's good to come back and see you're still doing snapshot and update infos vid!

[gferrol]

I'm not too keen on the new lapis enchant design. Looks less detailed than before. Makes it look kinda like a bean or something

[SamuraiPipotchi]

Might help to rename that final chapter "Previous snapshot"
Small difference, but I originally thought it was suggesting that this would be the final snapshot before caves and cliffs pt.2 came out. Would just make it a little more clear

[Gsr_automotive]

Get well soon X. Hopefully you'll be better than ever and back to making more content.

[ChoresMishandled]

The sparse jungle reminds me so much of th old bright textures i loved.

[rinlee]

you can notice the big change in spint update if you sprint inside 1 wide block hole tunnel. i do that a lot when im strip mining and my sprint rarerly interrupted by walls now :D

[yhjjjj]

If they can get the Allay to work, the Allay would be a better choice. The glare is just F3 with extra steps, and the copper golem is a chicken randomizer that stops working after some time...
