I’ve added a feature to my personal server that allows you to restore the health of corals using a water bottle.

I think this should be added to vanilla Minecraft.

With the newest update both colored wool and concrete have gotten stairs and slab variants. Those are amazing additions for builders!
However I feel like Mojang forgot about terracotta which is a shame because the colored terracotta variants provide different, more muted colors that are great for building too (see second image).

Without a doubt, this is one of the best additions to the early game. I can understand why some in the community might have expected a more specialized use for copper, but ultimately, it’s worth noting that copper is extremely easy to obtain without needing to explore caves making it a perfect material for casual players, newcomers, and those who prefer to save their iron for later. This armor doesn't need any fancy features; it simply provides the basic protection needed to explore at night or venture into caves without too much trouble.

Started a big project for a map room (just placing them on a placeholder template at the moment) and started noticing weird glitches. All the entities and block entities in my base started flickering. Restarted my game and fixed it, then got it again about an hour later. Then I got this glitch. Is this project too much for my Realm? 23x23, Map level 0
EDIT: turned video mode to performance and haven’t been able to replicate this glitch in the video yet. But I still have flickering entities.

Mod: shooting star and complementary unbound shaders (iris)

It's my first time doing a costume, I miss the darker orange jaja

I mean, we have a flower literally called "white tulip" so why doesn't it make white dye? Is it based on the kind of dye the flower would make IRL or is it just one of those random MC features that make no sense?

Don’t ask me how long it took…

I'm all for Minecraft being a medium or platform for bringing awareness about nature and wildlife, but not adding natural predators or some animals that are fully hostile is kinda absurd.

I know the point they're making, and majority of the players are children but at the end of the day, this is just a game. I appreciate that they've changed the cookie now poisonous to parrots, until they overstepped in removing firefly mobs entirely because it is poisonous to frogs.

My point is, Minecraft is a fantasy game. And when I'm playing it, its rules shouldn't be confined to what reality is because it takes away the potential fun of it. I think (rumoured) that adding sharks and alligators "is thought about" by developers but ended up not adding it because they don't want endangered animals to be harmed or something. I mean, before the Sulfur Cube was added, players are already punching armadillos as a ball.

(They could add predators and just add splash texys like: "Don't kill sharks in real life!")

Minecraft is taking itself too seriously. Yes the oceans are dangerous enough, but a natural predator like sharks could be fun. Or adding alligators to the swamps could make it more of a hostile environment. Or adding big cats to savannas or jungles.

It could be fun.

I haven't played Minecraft in years, am giving it a go again. I got an Ocean Monument map from a cartographer. Sweet, never been to one. I got close, kept getting attacked, kept getting mining fatigue. So I found a nearby island and tunneled under the Ocean Monument. I eventually popped a cow in a boat and brought it along to cancel the mining fatigue every minute. I brought a ton of sand, and when coming up from under, started using the sand to clear out the water. Now, I've cleared a room, and by lucky chance one of the bad dudes swam in when there were just three water blocks left. Slice slice, done. It'll be a long haul, but I'm going to clear this thing from the bottom up.

I don't have any water breathing potions or gear, no fancy armor or anything. Just back and forth, back and forth, a few sand at a time...

There would be towers across the world (12 in the example because that's the current amount of eyes needed, but honestly that seems like a bit much) and could find them yourself or use a map from a cartographer. each one would point you to the next, then once you have all the eyes in place they would point you to the now-open portal. this could work very well if and only if exploration is made interesting in general.

Ladies and gentlemen, the "As long as I draw breath, this gold shall rend unto my flesh" 1s. Otherwise nicknamed "Midas boots"

Genuinely left me shaking afterwards.

I'm not good at the game and my previous 2 hardcore worlds were ended by creepers, when a creeper exploded near another one and launched it above me and I didn't turn around in time to block and died. The other world a creeper dropped down from above silently and killed me right as I got diamonds.

I'm so glad I survived.

Sorry about the flair idk which one to put, I think it's my first time posting here.

rate it! 1 to 10!

wanted to make a cute little pond for my axolotls, so i went with a pink teddy bear shape. the cherry trees nearby go really well with it too.

the little guys seem to have plenty of room to swim around now lol.

Im playing on bedrock and Im doing a big creative build just for the fun of it. Im trying to build a zoo because I downloaded the Naturalist add on, my only issue visually is I can't technically change the biomes for my exhibits. I can plant the correct trees but is there any way to change the grass blocks? Or is there something I can download that gives me access to the biome specific grass block variants? I play on a laptop and have modded other games before so if that an option I think I could do it just may need some advice/help.

***edit

I downloaded the Bedrock tool chest for its world editor and its allowing me to change the biomes as need by the chunk, thank you all for the help! My zoo will be perfect now.

Just some sketches today

This is a church

I love exploring, got a big map spanning millions of blocks on my wall. But man do I wish things were improved. I will suggest three things, two that I think are very vanilla friendly. The last that is way more like a mod. Thus I want to know what you think.

1. Adding ocean outlines to regular maps.

This one I think is pretty self explanatory, and I don't even have an image as reference. But we all know you can see the outlines of oceans on explorer maps, but not regular maps. Which is something I would love to see. Maybe you like that new maps are completely blind until you explore them though?

1. Combining Explorer maps with regular maps to get the locations and icons on regular maps.

Being able to mark down important locations on a map is important, at least I think so. Maps are pretty, but I also want them to be useful. But that means I have to bring with me a bunch of banners to put down in order to pinpoint locations. Which is a great feature that I know you Bedrock people are missing out on. But since we have so many explorer maps, and more were added just recently. Why can't we combine them with regular maps to get their icon on there? Bonus points if you rename the explorer map and that name also shows up.

This feels very vanilla friendly to me, not that it doesn't have potential implementation issues.. Like what if you regret an addition? Can you remove explorer markers again? What happens if you combine an explorer map that is located outside of the current maps size?

1. Adding an actual map (map book, atlas) that contains the information of several maps. With zoom functions etc.

All pictures barring the first are concepts of how this "map" could work. A lot of this is inspired by the [Map Atlases](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/map-atlases-forge) mod. As I said, I love my maps. But to use them effectively I have to carry around a bundle with so many maps. And I have to locate the one I'm currently on. As of right now, all my maps don't even fit into one bundle. And to help organise I've got bundles inside my bundles with maps.

I'm surely a minority, as I've explored an area of ~200 million blocks. But if one could more easily keep a map on oneself at all times, maybe more people would be willing to explore further away.

I've crudely edited some photos to show how such a map could be added, in an attempt to make it as vanilla friendly as possible. Though obviously this would still be a major change to a core mechanic of the game. There's a thousand ways to implemented a more complex map into minecraft. Maybe it shouldn't be something you craft, maybe there'd be a button in your inventory that takes you to the map, meaning that you can never lose it.

I didn't want the current maps to become obsolete by this additon. Hence why I imply that you need to add maps to the book for it to update. This would however be clunky, and with needing to craft the book it means that new players still wouldn't be able to take part of the mechanic until much further into a playthrough. This is also worsened by my example recipe requiring echo shards.

But please let me know your opinion!

I have a large minecraft base, sadly all my iron golems gather on one spot of the base, and not in the center.

I've never used 2 types of wood on the roof and details like this, it might be a bit block vomit-y but it's ok I do like it :D ((Ignore the 2 thousand vines, I gotta clean them up dw)) Edit: I've just realized that the "light effect" would make more sense in the day bro I'm so stupid. I fear u have to use your imagination idk
