  1. Minecraft please make addons more moder friendly for the creators like making them be able to make new biome without having to replace existing ones and forcing them to make dynamic worlds instead of addons

  2. Maybe its an underwater plant/animal that is the ACTUAL sponge but smaller?

    Sea Sponge Bud that grows when its in water and combining 9 of them together = 1 Sponge Block

  3. Hey Ecko, fingers crossed you see this. I wanted to ask you for a favor, as a content creator and someone who interfaces woth the Minecraft community on a regular basis, is it somehow possible for you to petition to Mojang to fox the load order issue with add-ons? I feel like a majority play well together, however due to their load orders, some textures or visuals can be missing or bugged, and it's something I've tried to change, however the load order seems to jumble itself regardless. I wanted to know if there is a chance for a potential fix in the future, as these problems can make me hesitant to want to buy more add ons, and add them to my world that already has some. Any input or have on this, or ability to contact them would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much.

  4. I think the water and hydration stuff with the sponges and the grow particles means we might be getting a new type of sponge or maybe they’re reworking sponges entirely so we can cultivate them

  5. Shaders on console is all anybody wants at this point. And we do want shaders, not RTX, because RTX needs specific texture packs, shaders can work with any texture pack.

  6. Oh, they're adding sea sponges? The tik tok video is of it drying it, he puts water on it, to keep it from dieing.

    Maybe some underwater ambience upgrades?

  7. I wish I knew how to activate shaders in the preview version, I have followed every step, When creating a world I select the setting “Render Dragon feature for creators” and I downloaded Poggie’s luminous dreams shader and for some reason the option to turn on differed rendering is grayed out. Am I missing something? 😢

  8. I'm speculating they're improving sponges, where you can grow and reproduce sponges. That would be a good change because I'm too lazy to get sponges from different ocean monuments

  9. I highly doubt it’s a hydration bar but if I’m going with it, the new block could be some sort of purifier. The player places a water bucket in the block and as it purifies, it produces “green growth particles” signifying that it has purified. The leather and wool and glass could just be the recipe for a water canteen. I’m not sure what scaffolding has anything to do with this but maybe I’ll leave it up for y’all unless water is supposed to be cleaned through the pores of the scaffolding 🤔

  10. I feel like Minecraft fans are easily impress, like a child, and I know majority of Minecraft fans are child, but grown adults. Be excited for a flower on a cactus. They be excited for a desert bush. That literally does nothing but add one piece of decoration to the desert. This is why Minecraft isn’t going to evolve and get better no time soon and no, I’m not the type of person that says add a new ram or add a new biome no update out the biomes update the villager to feel more like a village and not just slaves. I’m not even the type of guy that want the end to get an update because most people don’t even go to the end only Minecraft Youtubers really do that and some casual players but getting excited for probably another sponge is so ridiculous and incredibly stupid.
