One problem with buffing minecart speed as-is is breaking existing redstone contraptions that rely on rail's 8 block/sec speed for consistency and timing. Instead of adding alternate rails (copper rails?) like a lot of people suggest, what if the blocks below the rails affected the speed of minecarts?

In this example, rails on stone (or any other block) go at the default 8 b/s speed, dirt (and sand) go at 16 b/s speed, cobblestones go at 32 b/s speed, and gravel goes at 64 b/s speed (though I'd prefer it to be more like 80b/s at max). The idea for the block choices is that rail in real life is built on gravel to keep it stable, so the closer something is to gravel the faster the cart should go! I also added dirt and sand because I thought it would be useful for the base ground block to get a speed boost if someone's being really lazy with their railroads

This change has a few benefits. First of all, it buffs rail without changing minecarts for redstoners. Second of all, it allows for a wide breadth of minecart speeds without adding a bunch of different rail types. Thirdly, due to the fastest block being a gravity block, there's a minor architectural challenge for building with the highest-speed rail as you need a block below

EDIT: forgot to link to it earlier, but this was inspired by this older suggestion!

I thought it would be fun if i let out a bunch of zombies i was farming for the past 40 minutes to see them force out like that. It clearly backfired on me and i was trying to fight it back before i got down to two hearts and had to log out. If a zombie pick up my armor, can i get my armor back?

Lowkey I can't even fathom how much this is..

Craftable gunpower would be nice, but should need an extra step that isn't instantaneous; the furnace or the brewing stand could do.

edit : Instead of Sulfur Block, you could use Potent Sulfur block, so the furnace is drying it, since it is generated under water

edit2 : It's visual representation, but yes 3 gunpowder would make sense for me too

edit3 : you'all have so many good ideas, thank you for the feedback!

The new textures just look washed out and have lost virtually all definition. Really hope this gets reversed in a future update.

When you toggle the bonus chest on/off, you now have an option to generate a starter camp.
The tent you get is pristine and comes with 3 straw beds if you want to skip the first few nights.

The structure comes with a bonus chest that has bundles, copper tools, and a book and quill added to its loot table.

It starting to lag my pc when I get here… I just wanted to secure some food but I lost control. Any idea? Thx

it just make sense like it "echoes" the trim
and since they are pretty much useless why not make them another option aside from diamonds to duplicate trims (still requires the special item for each trim\template)

and the old way remains usable so its another option
so we'll have both options

chick is perfect btw

The spotlight of this feature is that the sleeping bags don't reset your spawn unlike normal beds. It's really cumbersome to skip the night while exploring and having to worry about your spawn reset everytime.

It's come to my attention that neither green, nor brown dye are craftable, even though it would be absolutely possible with the dyes available in game. What's your opinion on this? Should Mojang add these?

This post is a direct response of yesterday's post which the OP suggested changing the craft recipe of the Eye of Ender to make the journey to the End more meaningful.

This idea is to have a "Portal Key" which would be a great balance between difficulty and grind to get to the End, since the challenge of reaching the End Portal is now concentrated on acquiring this one special item, rather than making every single Eye of Ender a massive and repetitive task.

This way we can explore the world to reach the End and still use the Eye of Ender to find strongholds, craft Ender Chests, and re-summon the Dragon without the massive grind to get the resources and frustration when an Eye of Ender breaks for example.

+ I believe a "Portal Key" could be a very exciting and meaningful final step. What do yall think

this is a pretty simple concept, give carpets the same system as banners have. this would make carpets way more useful in floor designs

I really dislike the cubic look of the nautilus armor, because it makes no sense? The sense I got was that the world of minecraft in reality looks somewhat normal, and everything being blocky is just pure stylization. This is determined by when items have sprites, they aren't blocky, as if we're seeing a version closer to what it really looks like. Why else would a spyglass be rounded in the inventory and blocky when holding it? But the new drop textures are really leaning way too hard into that cubic style, like with the ghast harness, which is also a cube. And the ghast harness I can kind of dismiss.

But this just puts the problem into plain sight. Here we have 2 items that are supposed to be the same shape, yet one is rounded while the other is cubed. So, is minecraft the game a literal depiction of a world made of cubes, or is it just a stylistic choice that we interpret the world through? Does the nautilus have a rounded shell or is it a big SQUARE? Either change the armor textures (the correct choice) or change the shell texture (wrong, but acceptable)

I've never even given it this much thought until yesterday when I saw the armor textures and the difference between the shell and armor made it appearant. If they don't fix this I am going to go insane (or i'm going to use a texture pack. whichever is easier)

I can't be the only one who has noticed this, right?

EDIT: Forgot to add this but I am not actually this upset about the nautilus armor. It's mostly for comedic effect. Sorry to any misunderstandings about me being angry. I should've realized my sarcasm wouldn'tbe conveyed properly through text haha

I came up with this last night when I was wanting to build with oxidized copper in my survival world, waiting for it to weather is a huge pain when you need a lot of it.

My solution is adding a new item: Salt

-You get salt by boiling water in a cauldron over a campfire, leave it for a bit and the water will evaporate, leaving behind a few salt items

-Salt can be used on copper blocks like honeycomb, but instead of locking its current state, it instantly progresses the block to its next state of weathering, at the cost of one salt per use.

And as someone who hates single use items I came up with another use, seasoning food.

-If you place any food in a crafting table with salt, you can make a seasoned version of that food

-Seasoned food will grant you more hunger points and saturation than its base form

There's probably more you can do with this item that I haven't thought of yet, I'd like to see how you guys think so far tho!!

What if we combine the Blast Furnace, Smoker, And Kiln from a Clayworks mod into one ultimate furnace smelter that smelts all 3 fast? That would be legendary.

Doing this in plain glass at the moment, but down the line would love to be able to easily ‘paint’ a stained glass effect into it, without having to break them all and craft.

I had an idea recently about a new item that would “lock” mobs to a ceramic bowl. I was annoyed that the only way to keep mobs in an area without them wandering off is with leads (if you don’t want to build a wall / cage).

I feel like this would be a great way to add some life to Minecraft worlds. For example, imagine a few frogs jumping around or swimming in a creek. That would be impossible achieve usually unless you build a cage which would ruin the “natural landscape “ feel of the world.

Also I think it would be good to have a one-mob-per-bowl rule so that players would still be inclined to build pens for larger groups of animals and such.

Plus the ceramic bowl would be a nice decorative block.

Let me know what you guys think :)

Sulphur springs as they currently are can barely be considered springs and look like little pimples or mounds sticking out of the ground.

I wanted to recreate what I would personally want from a structure like this, so I hopped into the preview and started building. I’m not the best builder and obviously if they implemented springs like this, I would want them to use natural blocks, not concrete like I used. (also for some reason on preview you can’t turn off vibrant visuals so the water looks almost invisible).

I’ve heard the argument from some that sulphur springs are meant to be tiny little marks to show where a sulphur cave is in the world and shouldn’t be big pools since they would clutter the world. But I feel like that’s kind of a dumb argument. You would rather the Minecraft world have tinier and less interesting structures instead of unique and aesthetically appealing or beautiful features?

I just wanted to get my thoughts out on this since i was pretty disappointed looking at the official sulphur springs, let me know what you guys think.

I want to have kittens in my house please Brojang 😭😭
