Mojang have removed spawn chunks! Wow.

Mojang have removed spawn chunks! Wow.

So, welcome back to Java Edition. hitbox is showing. My hot bar is on the bottom. I have an F3 screen that looks a little bit different. I’ll go over all of this in a second. There are some sweeping changes in this game. It’s not just adding copper golems, copper chests. There’s a lot of stuff that has changed, and that’s expected cuz these guys are on hiatus. The first of which is world creation, more specifically, spawn chunks. Spawn chunks are no more. Yeah, I’m not I’m not kidding. There’s no such thing as spawn chunks anymore. In fact, if I go in game rule, spawn radius is the only game rule here now. Not spawn chunk radius. That is because the world spawn around here is no longer going to be automatically loaded forever. I’ll demonstrate this. So, I’m going to respawn about here and give myself a command block and run this. So, always active. RIP spawn chunks and done. Obviously, this is going to run because I’m loading it. If I teleport far enough away, that command block is no longer going to load. Now, the rationale behind this is obviously that spawn chunks is a deprecated feature. No one really uses it, which is not which is not true. We believe that the niche held by spawn chunks has now been filled by alternative methods of chunk loading. Not by everyone, though. I don’t know. You guys will have to tell me how you feel about that. Now, I wouldn’t say this change was entirely unexpected. So, back in snapshot 2403A, this is snapshot over a year and a half ago, the spawn chunk radius game rule was introduced. And what this simultaneously did was it reduced the spawn chunks from 12 all the way down to three. Now, in hindsight, I guess this was the first few steps that they took to eliminate this functionality altogether. If I return to spawn here, now respawning is going to take a bit longer because the world spawn isn’t automatically loaded. People tend to build a lot of farms in spawn chunks because the whole idea of using force load, which is not a survival friendly thing, ender pearl loaders, running things through a portal is not a feature that is relatively accessible to the public. So people often build things at spawn so it’s loaded automatically. By removing this feature you are essentially killing every single feature that people have decided to implement through spawn chunks. Now that is my opinion. When I was streaming in the chat it felt like people were obviously concerned enough to bring it up. I guess player feedback will dictate whether this is something that will be reverted. I don’t think it is. They’ve really thought long and hard about this. I think Moyang are done with spawn chunks and you now have to use esoteric methods which doesn’t make too much sense to me right now. All right. The next thing that is pretty obvious on the screen right now is this F3 debug information that is on the screen permanently. You may have noticed that when I accessed the command block and opened the GUI, this was superimposed on the console command. This is because you can now use F3 F5 to customize your F3 screen as much as you want. You can see that you’ve got a lot of information that you can customize. Here I’ve got game version always on. You can see that 25 W31A is the snapshot. Uh, we’ve got player position, the coordinates. Those are the only few things I’ve got permanently on the screen, which I think is fantastic. You can see I’ve got even more information now when I press F3. I’ve got the oct tree, which I’ve never seen before. I’ve got the F3G chunk borders always on as well. You can still access the pie chart. I don’t use it too much. I didn’t speedrun. Being able to customize it obviously improves rendering performance. You’ll also notice that there’s a pet rock here. I’ll just leave everything on. I don’t mind. If you leave the game, you can see that it’s still there. the coordinates disappear because I’m outside the world, but if I go back in, it is back. I’ll run through the patch notes sequentially here. So, all of the new features, you’ve got the copper chest, copper golem, statue. A lot of them align with bedrock. Some things here are specific to Java, but will creep their way into bedrock very soon. Now, we already know how copper golems behave. I have run a few tests here that you can see got one that’s blocked by a trapdo that should not be blocked by the trapoor, but for some reason, a copper golem cannot open this chest even though it can. I’m going to try not to scatterrain this, but this this guy is one block tall, yet he still can’t open the copper chest, which is weird because I can. I guess on the subject of path finding, I’ve blocked off every conceivable copper chest. So, these guys can’t be opened because they’ve got a block above it. This one’s blocked off by a fence. So, obviously, this is the only chest that a copper golem can open. They are slightly better than on Bedrock Edition, even though there are a lot of problems with these guys right now. It’s an early snapshot. Give them time to fix everything. What? What? Wait, why are you going here? As you already know, copper golems turn into statues. So, because you can’t affect them with random tick speed, one way to fasttrack this is with data modify. So, you can do weather state. Zero is regular, and then you’ve got exposed or lightly weathered. Weathered, and then oxidized is three. He has the following components. He has next weather age, which is how long it takes for him to turn into the next oxidation state. He’s also got main hand components, so you can use item replace to change what he’s holding. But what I’ll do now is change his next weather age value to one. And then he turns into a statue. So you can just do this to quickly oxidize him. And that’s it. All right. So shelves, we all know how shelves operate. You can exchange items out of them. If you power them like this, they will swap out the last three slots in your hot bar. This will go to number six. This will go to number three. The big question about whether they can interact with pistons on Java Edition is no. They cannot be pushed with pistons. It’s a shame that be the way that it is. However, they do interact with hoppers. So, you can see here I’ve got a hopper system running down through here. This is a dropper that’s being powered by an observer clock. And then it comes back out through this hopper and then interacts with this shelf. Because of this interaction with hoppers, there is now this ability to create a slot machine. I think this is something that a lot of people have been trying to do. Shelves will not be used like shelves anymore. Now, I just dis I just discovered something really odd. So the shelf in a comparator output is just a binary output, but it’s backwards. So a shelf has a comparator output depending on which slot is occupied. If I put one item on the first slot, there is an output of one. If I put it in the second slot, it has an output of three. And that’s because if I take an item out of the first slot, it becomes two. So how do I get four? Well, I’ll have to take these two out and then place one in the last slot. Now, you might notice a bit of a pattern here. To get six, I have to take out this one and then put one in the middle. And then that six, if they’re all filled up, it is seven. This is binary, but in reverse. You can’t differentiate between 1 and 1 zero. It’s got to be backwards, right? So, just an interesting I’m not even sure if this is intentional, but it’s something I just noticed. Next, we have a new accessibility setting that a lot of people are talking about. We’ve got a new control setting here for attacking and placing blocks. So, left clicking and right clicking. You can now toggle these, which might not seem like a big deal, but what this means is you no longer need to hold down left click and right click to do things. You can just toggle it by pressing. I’m hitting things about 3 to four clicks per second. And the same thing applies for right clicking. Now, this is actually kind of a big deal because a lot of people use this for farming. If I now toggle my right click, I’m now placing and breaking the block at the same time. I can toggle my left click and now I’m just placing blocks like this. This is obviously fast enough for speed bridging because the same logic applies as if you’re just holding the button down, which is obviously fast enough. This is definitely not an alternative for spam clicking. Spam clicking will be faster. If I hold a fishing rod and I just press right click once, I no longer need to use the crazy F3T exploit to trick the game into thinking that I’m constantly right clicking. This is simple enough for you to right click once and then walk away. There we go. I should have bye. Oh yeah, just be care just be careful because once you open a chest, you will be always opening that chest. Unfortunately, this does not work with left clicking or attacking farms. And that’s because when you fight something or you’re swinging a sword in the game, you actually have to attack. Holding down left click does not constantly attack things. This may bring you back to that combat experimental snapshot that has kind of been abandoned where if you hold down left click, you would actually attack. So unfortunately, this toggle does not work for spawner farms like this. Across all of this, there are also some rendering improvements. There are some peaceful difficulty improvements. Lightning rods now oxidized as well, so you now can wax your lightning. There’s also copper horse armor. I’m sure that’s going to arrive in Bedrock Edition as well. But there we go. Very, very big snapshot. It’s going to take some time for me to get used to all this stuff, but I’m very glad this is here. And as usual, if there’s anything else that I’ve missed, I’ll cover it in the next video.
