I am surprised there isn't really a thread to discuss in general Minecraft stuff.


So for those who haven't seen it yet, a snapshot (20w06a) has been released a few days ago!

We finally have an interesting Nether, folks! What's more, there's a new tier of progression past diamond. We have Netherite armor and tools now. You now take a diamond tool/armor and craft it with a Netherite ingot. Which makes it tougher and more durable AND enchantable. It also grans knockback resistance and does not burn in lava and instead floats. So if you somehow die in the Nether, your armor and tools won't burn!

There's tons more to know, so go read about it!


Won't lie, this is looking to be pretty sweet! And this is merely the first of many snapshots. Lots of hype! Going to be playing and finding the new stuff!

i love the new wood types and the fact that blue torches exist now. i'm thinking some big changes are coming, since diamond was the highest vanilla tier for the longest time and we haven't gotten new trees since 1.7

hopefully they give us some stronger mobs and maybe a boss to put netherite to good use, because withers already dropped like flies if you had the right gear

Definitely hoping for this too! I think it'd be cool if you had to like get a dragon egg or something from the End Boss and the Nether to summon something here that makes the Wither into something way worse. Heck, maybe we could take gold and something and turn the wither skulls into a Pig/Hoglin Boss who summons Hoglins for you to fight while you try to fight it.

I absolutely love the new wood types and the new color schemes. I've got a little project idea in mind thanks to these new blocks, and that idea is to remake the realm Zanaris (the moon from RuneScape) in Minecraft.

New Netherite tools and weapons took me by surprise. There has to be a ton of content coming soon if we get almost every single promised feature in the very first snapshot, with a few surprises. What if there's a purple-colored nether biome? What if we get the biome updates to the Mountain, and/or the Savanna? What if they update the Nether Fortress (especially how it looks) and add a bunch of creepier structures and dungeons in this update?
Just so you know, I'm very active on the site anymore like I was before; I'm mainly on Discord now.
