Minecraft: The Copper Golem Update

Minecraft: The Copper Golem Update

All right, this is it’s crazy. Never in a million years did I think this would be happening. We’re on a new Minecraft bedrock preview. Vibrant visuals are on in case you’re wondering why it looks the way it does. It’s been what, like 2 weeks since the Happy Gas came out. But Mojang was like, “No, we can’t rest there. We have to spoon feed you more content.” And for the first time ever, a runner up from the mob vote is getting into the game. It’s the Copper Gollum. And you know what? I may not have voted for him. However, given what he’s able to do here, oh my god, it’s a it’s a game. It’s just like the happy guest for a game changer. This guy’s going to be a game changer. Okay, so the way that you get a copper golem. I mean, it’s just usages for copper, which previously you barely would even harvest unless you were using it for building or just sit in your chest. You make a copper golem with a block of copper and you put the pumpkin on top. And not only does he spawn himself, but he also includes a little chest. It’s like the block of copper turns into a chest. The pumpkin turns into the copper golem. So, the way that these guys work is they can do inventory sorting for you. Also, yes, copper chest. That’s a new thing. I just kind of glossed over it because the copper golem. He’s so cool. Look at him. Listen to him. He has such cool animations. He’s only on bedrock for now, but coming to Java probably in the next week or two if the schedule they usually stick to plays out. So, you can see they’re opening the chest and they’re like looking through. They’re like, “Oh, is there anything inside it?” I’d like to grab something from inside. Let me tell you why he wants to grab something from inside it. Okay, so I have a chest over here. It’s just got some cobblestone and some honeycomb for, you know, waxing stuff if we want to. So, we just take say this stack of cobblestone and we pop it into this chest here. They’re going to walk around, right? They’re checking the copper chest in the vicinity. He says, “Oh, there’s a thing in it.” And he checks the nearby chest and he sees, “Oh, there’s cobblestone in it.” So, he can grab 16 at a time. He’s like, “This is amazing.” See that? He checks and he grabs it and he brings it over the next chest. He puts it in. And now all of a sudden, would you look at that? We are getting the cobblestone that we just put here. Didn’t mean to put that down. We just put here in this chest. Now it’s all been brought back over to this one. And you’re wondering, okay, what is like the priority system? How do they decide where things are going to go? So, the way it works is they’ll first check and see if the chest they’re opening has a matching item to what they’re carrying. So, let’s like go over here. Let’s take the planks I have in this chest and let’s take the dirt that I have in this chest. Now, what’s going to happen if I put that in there? Okay, they’re going to hopefully check it again instead of going to the other one. Okay, so he has the dirt in his hand. He checks here. He’s like, “Ah, there’s no dirt in that one.” And so what they’re going to do is they’re going to find the next nearby chest in a 32 block radius. He’s going to say, “Oh, this chest is empty.” So he’s going to load the dirt into that one. Then this guy’s going to check this chest. He’s going to say, “Oh, there’s dirt in there.” And he’s going to put it in. So, that’s how they prioritize. First, they’ll check. They’ll see if the chest is empty. If it is, they’re going to pop it in there. If it isn’t, they’ll see if it matches any of the items in that chest. And then if it does, they’ll put it in there. So, the thing is though, right, like let’s say that they had checked, let’s say I put the dirt up up here. All right? And then I put it into here. The issue you could run into is that because they checked like nearest proximity chests first, you might have a situation where they’re going to check this. He’s going to open it. He’s going to say, “Oh, there’s an item.” So, anything you throw into this chest here, like they’re just going to go in and grab in up to stacks of 16 or if it’s an unstackable, they should just grab it on its own. But they’re going to check closest chest. So, he’s going to check here first. So, even though I have the dirt ready to go here, he checks the lower one first. Says it’s empty. And so he puts the item in to this one because empty is the priority over uh the thing. So he’s not he doesn’t seek out and know what is in the inventory of the chest first. He has to go around and actually look and then once he opens it, he makes the call on what to do with that chest. So for an inventory sorting system, you basically just have to make sure that the chest that you want things to go to with a particular kind of item already has the item in it. And there are also not empty chests that are going to be checked first in the configuration you have sorted. So every chest that I have here, right, it has an item in it. There’s something in there. There are no empty chests. So what I could do is I could just grab, you know, half of everything in each of these. Right? And I don’t need to grab every single thing that I have. But if I just take some of these right now, I’m going to put some in here. Maybe put a few of those guys in there. And then we’ll take a little bit and we’ll put the others over to here. Now, all of a sudden, what’s going to happen is they’re only going to be able to put it into the respective chests. If I want this to go faster, obviously, you know, I can just pop another guy down. I can pop another guy down. And now they can all work super duper quick. Now, also, I should mention, you know, we got our honeycomb in here. Of course, you can with like the the copper chest and stuff like that. You can wax them if you want. You can also wax the Gollumy boys if you’d like to do that. But now, like, look at this. They go through as long as it’s within an eight block vertical and a 32 block horizontal. They’re going to start checking these things. And just over time, you know, all of the stuff that I put into these chests. I can’t remember which ones I put down first, but it’s all going to go. And the order is they check the copper, withdraw from the copper, and then they deposit into the wooden chest. So, they will never deposit into a copper. They will never pull from a wooden. But look at this freaking little army. They’re checking. They’re putting stuff in. And slowly but surely, you know, we leave it for a couple minutes. Everything is going to be right back to the way it was. So, you go mining, you go out on an expedition, as long as your chests at home are set up. You can just do a dump chest and they’ll get everything. Oh my. It’s Dude, this is unbelievable. This is This is revolutionary. This is incredible. Oh my goodness. You guys are doing great. Keep checking. Keep checking those chests. You You’ll find it eventually. You’ll You’ll figure out where it goes. I promise it’s it’s somewhere. It’s over here. Come down. Come to over here. It’s It’s over This isn’t more than 32 blocks away. I believe in you. You’re going to find it. Okay, you get the idea. They’re They’re doing their thing. Hey, he found it. And up to 48, right? Yeah. There he goes. He put it in. Oh, it’s it’s brilliant. It’s just Oh, it’s so cool. Right. So, yeah. Obviously, um there are the chests that you just get for free if you spawn the copper golems. Now, you can turn these into a double chest as well, and they have all of the oxidation states. Like, if we just go over here and search chest, now all of a sudden, you see all the different variants between standard and waxed. And you can also make it if you want to by taking a standard chest and adding some copper into the mix. If I can find copper ingots. There we go. So, if you want to just make one without having to spawn a copper golem, you can do it that way. And then again, time will oxidize it. And there you have it for these guys. All right, we’ll let them keep working. Obviously, if you’re in a super big hurry, like maybe it’ll be faster if if you do the sorting yourself, but if you just want to like let them go do your do their thing, then I mean, you’re golden. Along with this, finally, more uses for copper. We have copper armor and copper tools. They are all made the way that you would expect copper armor and tools to be made. You want to make a pickaxe. There you go. Copper pickaxe, a hoe, a shovel. Now, they kind of sit in between stone and iron in terms of their overall stats for the tools, for the armor. So, truth be told, with it not being all that difficult to get iron tools and armor, the the usability may be, you know, somewhat mid. However, like sometimes you spawn and there’s just an exposed vein of copper that’s just right there ready to go. So, in that case, I suppose there could be some usage for it because you can just like start dive right into that and you’re already like slightly better than stone in that case. And then also just like a new little mechanic here, right? If we get the shovel uh and we pop that in, we can smelt it up. And just how you know you get nuggies from smelting other kinds of of tools like the uh like iron and and gold. Uh there are now copper nuggies that you were able to get from that. And also you can break an ingot into nuggies as you would expect to be the case. I should also mention just a couple more specifics about these guys. They will only check up to 10 chests in like a searching session, which is why it took a little bit longer for the Netherite scrap because that could have been like the 11th or 12th that they got to in this sequence. So, it would have they they might have had to uh go back and figure things out and come back again. They can also deposit into trap chests and not just the standard chest. So, uh make sure you don’t actually set up a trap that the copper golem might hit and then blow up cuz that would be really sad. But you may want to like distribute the copper golems or the copper chests you’re going to be dropping your items in like a little bit so that they’re more spread out to be able to hit a bigger area of chests that you have set up at your house. Um but yeah, they just they’re a little noisy cuz they just keep checking things. It’s not like they again they don’t know what’s happening until they’ve opened the chest. That’s kind of how you have to think of it. It’s not like they’ll only act once you put the items in. They’re always doing their thing, checking if there’s anything. And then if there is something in one of the copper chests, then at that point they open everything until they find a match or an empty chest. So like again, they’re going in blind. Easiest to think of it that way. Anyway, that’s pretty much it for now. I mean, this is kind of mega, isn’t it? I’m looking forward. I mean, I can’t wait until this is actually on Java, then I can actually update in the hardcore world that I’m playing. We have some inventory sorting. Oh, it’s going to be it’s going to be amazing. Thanks for watching.
