To me, the addition of wood and the blue wool makes it look like a third party has also been to the city since it got abandoned. It’s also quite interesting that the wool shares the same palette as Steve’s clothing
That’s what I was thinking. We know the evokers use “soul” and summon vexes and that the warden and deep dark have something to do with soul so it would make sense that they would be snooping around we’re they shouldn’t.
Moesh (QA specialist at Mojang) said on Twitter he tried to add "some evil bits for those who like to build pillars to avoid the Warden". That's probably why the corridor structures now have "two tiers", so you can't pillar up
The redstone thing is a cool idea but just feels kind of jarring, going from a broken down city to this extravagant interior with all sorts of random redstone stuff lying around. Might need a rework on the looks, or move more of that to the jungle temples which are already showcasing basic redstone stuff
agreed, most of the new changes to the ancient cities, namely the redstone tutorials, the dark oak and the blue/light blue/cyan wool kinda ruin the aesthetic. i get the dark oak and blue variant wool items contribute to the lore, showing that illagers have been there, but i think it would be a bit better if it was a _very_ rare variant of ancient cities, somewhat on-par with abandoned villages in java edition.
@@izzaaay Maybe they could make it so that that variant of Deep Dark cities spawn under woodland mansions, or maybe make them a bit more dispersed than just under the mansions, but have the rectangle of reinforced deepslate be a portal that leads directly to a woodland mansion room and you have to solve some kind of redstone puzzle to get the thing to activate. A way to reward learning the redstone that is being taught down there
It isn't really that jarring since what's the correlation between a broken down city with beautiful interior? Not to mention the redstone used are very basic. This just further alludes to the ancient cities being built by the Ancient builders, while it by no means says that they're high tech, it simply means they know A LOT more than we first imagined.
Wait why were they working on a mob they might've not added for a while? I knew the mob vote was rigged when copper golem or (my personal favourite) the glared didn't win. For context I've won every other mob vote
@@springyb0i693 it wasnt rigged.. people liked the allay more lol, plus the wisps were supposed to be part of the nether and discontinued and the idea was brought back
I like the idea of the redstone tutorials but I don’t think they should be in the ancient cities, at least not all of them. There should be a couple variants present in villages and pillager outposts. Maybe some basic automated farms in villages and some trap type stuff in pillager outposts. The harder the area the more advanced the tutorial should be.
aye the tutorials feel very unsubtle and out of place where and as they currently are. Jungle temples kinda do it pretty well already, with small redstone mechanisms actually integrated into the design (rather than just built hidden inside it as a secret lab type place)
YES. They are way too hidden below the Warden portal. I understand them not wanting to overwhelm a casual player but simpler redstone could be used in a lot of places too. It would make the game much more rewarding to explore
it's for the minecraft lore enthusiasts. Noticed how that Wool pile looked awfully similar to Steve's colour palette? The Redstone is there to aware the player that the people in the ancient city thought of using Redstone as a method to escape/avoid the warden. And the allay's sound effects are eerily similar to the vex's, the difference being the vex are hostile and the allays are not. Allays are the previous form of a vex, before the pillagers used their dark magic to turn them evil. (Giving them swords, ability to phase through walls). If you hear closely to a vex's sound effect when it dies, it sounds like multiple screams and not just one.....
I think redstone tutorials would suit woodland mansions quite well, as something the illagers are learning. There could be a couple different rooms with a couple different circuits in them. I also like how the jungle temple incorporates redstone into the structure itself, and we could get more dungeons like it, or like the sculk sensor lamp posts in the ancient city.
I still think allays should be renewable, seems like it'd be too difficult to find them if they only spawn in uncommon structures on world gen. Also I feel like the ancient cities don't really have too many god apples anyways since a) it's clearly an end-game level structure since the loot actually seems a bit similar to end cities and b) I feel like it'd be better if god apples were easier to obtain since currently I feel they're so rare that you'll never want to use them. They should also add like a way to separate the minecart/boat and [block] in like the crafting grid in case you want to reuse them
My thoughts exactly. The loot is decent but by the time you would ideally visit the city, everything except the swift sneak and otherside music disc is easily obtainable and farmable. And we already have end cities (and villagers) for diamonds and diamond equipment, so that’s kind of off the table
I agree with the ancient city loot as well! Perhaps Notch apples should generate a bit more commonly. Not to mention, why snowballs and ice? That's honestly very lame. I also agree with separating TNT/furnace/chest/hopper minecarts through the crafting grid
I honestly think god apples should be made craftable, with some ungodly expensive recipe. Gold blocks weren't a terrible idea. Eight stacks of gold blocks for a stack of god apples is really expensive, and that means most people aren't going to use god apples as their day to day food item.
@@Anas-gz4my snowballs is to teach the mechanic of distracting the Warden in the place, and the ice is theming with the ice box. and ice box is an old school refrigerator if you didn't know
@@cerebraldreams4738 You can easily farm gold though, Enchanted Apples can literally make you invincible for some time, it should not be able to be farmable so easily
For me this is screaming lore. First, the illagers were here, they build passages with dark oak and the wool colours they have at the mansions. Second, there's evidence the city was built by ancient villagers (mending, warden-corrupted golem, golden carrots). Third, what is an unlit campfire doing in the middle of the wool storage
Why the Illagers? What if this is the origins of the Illagers - what if the reason they're pale and not exactly the same as the villagers is because long ago they diverged from the villagers to live underground in cities their own way, becoming pale and such until something happened involving the Skulk and maybe even the Warden and they were forced to return to the surface, now a homeless people they build homes in biomes they were most familiar with from their excursions to the surface and now seek to expand further by irradicating the villagers and perhaps taking their land
@@pavloydus Hrm - a good alternative. . .perhaps some resorted to normal city life while others took the tech that caused them to lose their homes and refined it in secret mansions, waiting for the time to reassert their "superiority"
My theory is that these cities were inhabited by villagers who were corrupted into illagers. The iron golem was transformed into the warden. It doesn't quite add up, since it'd mean the warden and illagers would be on the same team, which they don't seem to be. But it's a theory I like. Lots of possibilities for lore, indeed.
Since the new wool blocks that generate are the same color as the ones on the wool room of the woodland mansion, we could tell that the illagers were at the ancient cities before Maybe the allays came from the portal at the center of the city and thats where the illagers found them
I have a theory about the new structures in the ancient city: the wool and the wood looks like the ones in the woodlen Mansion, they seems that they were put there later, like someone already discover the ancient City.... so I belive Illagers already went there
Especially if you factor in the theory of the Illagers trying to create life, perhaps this was an early iteration of their trials, seeking some ancient power beneath the earth, that eventually never came to fruition
@@lawsonhovind7335 - Either that or their attempts created a monster that started slaughtering them, so they got the fuck out of town and built a woodland mansion instead, where they've figured out how to make a totem of undying and summon vexes. This would make the Warden a dangerous failed experiment that illagers are careful not to repeat.
I like that there’s a way for new players to learn red stone. However, it feels out of place in the ancient cities. I think it would be better as a world template that new players can go into to learn
I think it's a very cool concept that absolutely should be incorporated into more structures but I also don't like how it was implemented. I think that having a pristine lab that looks clean and neat is very out of place, yet it would be amazing if it was a trap that not only spawned the warden if the player wasn't careful, but would also have a lot of incomplete circuits for the player to find, giving rewards for repairing them (for example opening a door or something)
Years ago I used to dream of incorporating more Redstone into Villages. It would be readily accessable to new players and would greatly encourage it's use.
i love the allay noises, they have bells and chimes in their voices! gives a sense that they are otherworldly and ethereal, strange little things we don't fully understand. like trickster fairies that laugh when you ask them something, or that have been put in cages to stop them from leading people deeper into the forest! maybe they could be adjusted as not to be so piercing like you say, but i think they sound delightful, very playful like windchimes
i actually really enjoy their noises: it feels like they're mischievous imps of some kind who you can sort of corral into picking up items but ultimately they're a little scatterbrained
I was hoping that the Allay would sound cuter or more curious. In my mind it would be what BD-1, from Jedi: Fallen order, would sound like if it was a living thing.
I feel like the Ancient City overhaul has some big new lore implications. It looks like the ancient cities existed years ago, after they died out a new civilization took residence there and repaired some of the worn stone bits with wood, as well as introducing colorful carpets. The wood isn't fully rotted away, the wool is vibrant - those people were there not too long ago. Those people seem responsible for the redstone as well, finding ways to utilize the sculk sensors as a trap to their own benefit.
honestly, I think the redstone shown is beyond the pillagers, *especially* the door. I think the civilization who built the huge city in the first place were the ones tinkering with machines. Besides, it seems like the redstone room was built along with the statue, and there is no way the pillagers built that statue.
The illagers! They seekee refuge in the depths of the caves turning pale and grey, turning tje city into makeshift bases in which they would learn from the city's lost builders while avoiding the warden, thhey eventually left the place to build a better base eithout threats, the mansions, and with obtaining knowlegde of the lost advanced race, they rule the overworld
The redstone tips idea was amazing. I love how Mojang makes effort to lay hints to features in the game, for example the igloo basement teaching curing, jungle temples regarding basic piston code combinations, and now the central statue pillars regarding silencing skulk tech. With all of this, the new idea is really good!
What if the chest infront of the warden head/portal was a trapped chest that that triggered a trapdoor to drop you into the tutorial room. The lamps ticking down made me instantly think of a clock , and a structure with a small timer challenge linked up to a few pieces of TNT could be cool.
that Minecart Variant Change is HUGE for minecart-focused farms that break and re-dispense those minecarts, it means that the process can be entirely automated and self-sufficient now! I remember IlMango Talking about this when he went over the Chest-Boats, explaining how much easier it'd be if the carts did the same thing that the boats did, which is drop as a single item. i'm so glad they actually did this. makes me think they were watching Mango's video on it. :D
13:47 Im pretty sure its showcasing how redstone signals dont go through transparent blocks but do with other blocks, however the sculk growth seems to have messed that up
I love that little addition of the redstone tutorial area! Definitely needs tweaking though. I've loved redstone for ages, and if this addition helps bring more newcomers to the community then that's so great!
It would also add anxiety during exploration since the redstone makes a lot of noise, which can be lethal in the Ancient City Probably increase the tension during exploration
They said there's gonna be something we were NEVER be able to do before in the deep dark city in that one Minecraft Live. I'm hoping for something crazy, like auto crafting, teleporting via some kind of way stone, or maybe a brand new weapon/magic. Honestly I'll be happy if there's anything worth going to the Deep Dark for. I like where they're going with the parity and stuff too, I hope someday soon the barrier between Bedrock and Java is destroyed and they're essentially the same game with cross play. A lad can dream I suppose
I think they really should make the cities something unique as well, besides the Stronghold, Nether Fortress, Village and End city, there is no other structure that gives you very valuable and unique loot, or other important things gameplay wise
According to the feedback site, bedrock and java redstone are never going to be the same... So I doubt full parity will ever happen (let alone cross-play)
Glow lichen and glow berries are probably already meant to serve that purpose, but I agree, there should be some sort of glowing plant to liven up non-lush caves at least a little bit. A glowing mushroom seems like a good idea, maybe even have the caves beneath mushroom islands be filled with giant versions of these.
LOVE the redstone-tutorial-area-idea-thingy. Especially when it involves the new skulk blocks. I'm with you on their location though. Maybe they should appear in some other ancient building. Like an "ancient lab" or "test chamber" or something. I think being down in the world, as far as they are right now, is still OK. We don't wanna give new players ALL the answers upfront, right?? Should definitely be further down than where redstone ore naturally appears. =p I also like the idea of having those transparent wisps. Even in the Nether. Like maybe they could be the opposite of the Allay. Instead of finding items for you ... they'll come steal your items? ... and you can watch your diamond sword float away in its belly. Maybe a new item to help counter or catch them back or something.
It would probably be a better idea to not have a dedicated redstone tutorial area, but rather just have a variety of complex redstone circuits integrated into the city itself, making the former inhabitants seem more technologically advanced and let the players pick them apart rather than just be shown exactly how they work piece by piece.
I wonder how tango is gonna utilize the warden in the future.. design the entire decked out 2 around the warden spawn block since the spawn mechanic doesn't work if you move it?
@@noimnotgoingtoenteraname i guess that's a good way to do it. It all depends on how it all works out in the end. I didn't watch much of season 7 but if the player isn't supposed to kill the warden in any way and/or the wardens name tag stays when he goes into a block i think you only need one, and that makes it easier to design for sure.
12:54 There is a chest above with a golden carrot in it. Eating the golden carrot will produce a sound loud enough to trigger the sculk sensors, opening the secret door.
Somethung super cool I noticed was that the pile of wool in the Ancient City is the same colors that are in the wool room in the Woodland Mansion. Maybe some cool lore connectivity going on?
I am so SO happy about the note block with wool change, I love making little note block songs in builds and it’s always really annoyed me that you had to have an entire air block above the noteblocks for them to work.
I think the allay noises are so mystical sounding, but in a very pleasant way. I don’t think I’d mind hearing a bunch of them as long as the devs cranked dowm their volume a bit.
Honestly the redstone tutorials would make so much more sense in a wooden mansion. It adds to existing lore around the illagers, and the mansions are honestly full of wasted space.
I feel like the sound design is missing the opportunity to make the musical mob harmonize with other Allays. I think this would add a whole new sound dimension to the game and you could have a choir of Allays singing while picking up items.
I love the allay voices, I didn't care about the redstone use, I voted for the atmospheric side. I wanted a mob that'll work for an enchanted forest and not only does it work for that but it could work for a cursed forest or horror map with some of its sounds
That circuit at 13:47 is supposed to show the properties of solid and transparent blocks: the skulk sensor seems like a random spawn which has messed things up.
It's 12 on the side, yes, but you can also place the boat into a slab or another half block, making it 24 hoppers from the side, and 9 from the top, for a total of 33 hoppers into one chest, or 33 items (over half a stack) every 8 ticks.
Judging by the shape of the wooden towers (which look like pillager outpost roofs) and the fact that they are made of dark oak has me believe it is meant to show that at some point pillagers we’re sneaking around in the ancient city but left or were all killed by the warden
Especially how out of place and bolted on they look. Mojang has fully figured out how to do environmental storytelling in a procedural world and it's great.
The chestboat is yet more powerful than you say at the end of this video. You can have it sitting on a slab and get two levels of side hoppers: 9 on top, 12 on one side layer, 12 on another side layer, and 9 on bottom is 33 inward hoppers and 9 outward ones.
@@kabobawsome And can point up, deading to Ilmango surrounding a chestboat with 41 droppers (one was missing so the boat could get in and out) to fill it in 8.5 seconds
That is currently pretty unlikely, considering it is in a sealed off room, which would be easy to clean of shriekers. But that could be changed by just not having this room and instead integrating a bunch of complex contraptions into buildings all over the city.
Why not have both? An updated jungle temple for basic contraptions and the ancient city for complex ones. I don't think either of them should really contain an actual tutorial room, like the ancient city currently does, but instead contain sensible use cases for the player to pick apart.
if this thing actually turned out to be a portal to a new dimension, that would be so sick. Or maybe it connects multiple cities with each other :o imagine linkable portals
Portal links would be a really cool means of fast traveling. Kinda would fit more to gain access to this sort of stuff in the end, but either way, I hope that this would be possible to somehow reverse engineer, so the system wouldn't be reliant on the player finding two rare ancient cities and liking an area nearby enough to build at.
Lorewise, the ancient cities' wool colors are common to a room in a woodland mansion, and the allay is connected more to vexes by sounding like multiples voices or 'souls'.
The allay sound without items is haunting (and might get pretty annoying) Also about structure variation it would be really cool if like desert pyramids were given some different layouts as well. Seeing how much effort is put into the ancient cities it wouldn't take that much effort to update a few older structures with varieties. One variant could be more ruined etc
Yeah, in general, I feel like a lot of the really old stuff could use some updates with the new level of quality, the devs are putting on display right now. Mobs should have more personality in their animations or at least some nice idles for that purpose. The old temples and such should be remade to look more in line with what the build team can do nowadays and get some worn down and slightly altered variants.
15:09 If you raise the boat a little in the Y axis you can double the number of hoppers pointing into it from the sides for a total of 9 x 12 x 12 x 9 = 42. I can't think of a use case for this yet but I expect someone will.
I'd say, between those two options, a loot chest would be best. Otherwise, once you have one activated, you can use that shrieker to farm more and not worry about activation anymore. Plus, the devs have said they want the wardens to be something you run away from, they don't want to encourage trying to kill it.
I like how the ancient city is playing up sneaking and parkour on carpets. Hope you showcase the carpet and wood in ancient cities without night vision in next snapshot. As is with light the wood stands out awkwardly. Maybe digging up treasure and ore makes it harder to safely keep collecting without alerting warden, etc.
I think the archeology would make lots of sense in this update. We could do something like excavate to find out what the people that lived there did to keep safe from wardens.
Well they more than likely failed at keeping safe from the warden and their countermeasure appears to just have been to make their walkways out of wool.
I really like how the ancient city is shaping up. If I had a complaint, I suppose it’s that it looks less like a city and more like a grid based walled compound where people only patrol, and had never lived in. They appear to be adding things to improve that aspect, like the variation improvements, and packed Ice room, but it's still a bit lack luster. Feels more like a nether fortress underground than a city. But I digress, snapshots are anything but perfect.
I think making the allay behave more natural is the better choice. If they just worked like machinery (pick item up instantly, drop off, wait for next item) it would make them feel very emotionless.
I think the extra wool and wooden structures are tied to the illagers. The wood towers look like pillager outposts and the one other place you find wool that colour is in the woodland mansion.
I love that the cart variants now dont auto break. But would be nice to un-craft them in some type of way. If even they add a new block that is fairly cheap called the cart separator or whatever, maybe make it a new villager profession that trades transportation specific items and stuff. Similar to railcraft I guess.
I think the change on skulk shrieker would affect Tango's Decked Out 2.0. Now he would need a new location beyond the world border when 1.19 comes out.
Sounds like standard hopper minecart unloaders will change. Just break the hopper minecart, get all items as entities, move across water stream onto sorters, and reuse hopper minecart. No more need to be bottlenecked by droppers or hopper lines. Hopper minecars breaking intact is to redstoners, as light level is to builders.
(Reposting this here, I already posted this comment on RayWorks video because I want to see what the community thinks of this.) Not going to lie, the loot in the Ancient Cities still isnt enough for me. I dont mean to sound greedy, but what they really need to add are SEVERAL new items that are VERY valuable for me to find. As it stands, most of the current loot are stuff that I can find more easily in other places, or just random enchanted stuff which I mostly dont care about because I can just trade with librarians to get the same or better books. How about a new plant only found here, that can be farmed and used to brew luck potions? How about a new enchantment only found here that is essentially looting for bows? How about a brand new music disk just for this place? How about a guaranteed wither skull in every city? How about a new composter-like block that can convert certain blocks and items into XP instead of bonemeal, with rarer or more valuable items filling the machine faster and giving you more XP? Or perhaps instead, a new block/item that can be used to store your XP in bulk? What about rare enchanting books that are a level higher than the normal max level of that enchant, but it costs 50 XP to apply onto an item? I mean COME ON MOJANG! Actually make me want to explore this place! Look at 12:00 and tell me that the loot table is the best. It isnt. The best parts of the loot is the enchanted golden apples, which your not ever going to eat anyway as they are more or less just a collectors item due to their unbelievable rarity, and the other main value to these chests is the enchanting books, and again, you can just trade with Librarians to get even better books, except for swift sneak, which isnt even that crazy. It just lets you sneak faster. Its nice, but I can absolutely live without it. Take out the golden apples and enchanting books from the looting table, and what are you left with? It actually largely looks like dungeon or mineshaft loot with several changes and the inclusion of Diamond horse armor, bottles of enchanting, some enchanted pants and hoes for some reason, and everything else is immediately forgettable. The loot still needs a major overhaul. It makes zero sense for the literal strongest mob IN THE ENTIRE GAME to be largely guarding an enchantment for pants and chests with glowberries, coal, candles, nametags, soul torches, and leads. Like, come on. We should still be mass petitioning Mojang to add more new loot to the deep dark chests.
Thats a good one! Its just so frustrating how cool this place is and how much I want to explore it, but it just doesnt feel like its REWARDING ME for exploring it, especially considering how high stakes this place is with a near unstoppable warden out to kill me because I... stole a saddle, some candles, and some amethyst from him... wait what.
The idea of redstone concepts being introduced is interesting, but I don't feel it fits very well here. Maybe one concept per structure type? Like something in jungle temples, something in desert temples, something in villages, something in pillager outposts, etc. It just feels weird having it all cramped into a tiny room like that, especially when none have an actual purpose. A piston door may be cool for the new ancient cities
Yeah, a dedicated redstone tutorial room feels almost immersion breaking to me. But I do like the idea of the ancient city inhabitants having been much more technologically advanced than any other known civilization. As such, I'd prefer a bunch of use cases for complex redstone contraptions to be integrated all over the city.
It would be cool if the portal led to a dimension entirely comprised of skulk blocks so it's like the skulk took over an entire world and it's starting to spread to a new one
I think that there should be some truly unique and useful loot in the cities that is actually worth searching for. Since the release of the End Cities, there was no other structure added into the game that is worth searching out, for example Strongholds and Nether fortresses are like this, altough it is true that you don't seek them out for the loot they have in their chests for example. They should add more content into the game that matters gameplay wise (like the sculk blocks), and is not just another texture that you use only for decoration (like the mangrove swamps)
Why are boats with chests completely OP. I think the redstone thing under the city center is a great change as new players are most likely not going to get into redstone first thing, and some of the redstone circuits down there seem to be on the more complicated side. Very cool that you suggested a feature like that, Xisuma
Just to give some knowledge of my own There is a dyeable mob in the game : Tamed wolf's (you can dye their collar's with dye's) But in bedrock there is tamed wolfs and Shulkers (dont play bedrock so im not sure how to dye them, with dye's or commands)
Some people already commented about the dark oak, but here's my theory. The devs specifically said that dark oak is reserved for illager structures only. This could mean that the Ancient City was an illager structure? Maybe the city is what corrupted villagers into illagers? Then the warden could be a corrupted iron golem.
Minecarts don't break apart anymore! Amazing!! This also makes for some great new potential in using them to actually, you know, help you mine (managing inventory space). :D
I think ancient cities and illagers are related. Both use dark oak wood, and there is a room in the woodland mansion with the same wool colors as the ancient city
Something I missed - Reinforced deep slate is no longer pushable by pistons. :-(
EDIT : SHEEP! I forgot that too!
....yeah, its gonna be a portal block for sure
Thought so! It never seemed as an intended feature to me. Quite disappointing tbh
In that case the portal theory gets a little stronger
Damn
Aw man

@@jacklord141 yeah they also have piles of the same colours of wool in the mansions.
@@superslimanoniem4712 That's what I was thinking too! I think this update is going to bring a lot more opportunities for storytelling!

some evil bits?
The redstone thing is a cool idea but just feels kind of jarring, going from a broken down city to this extravagant interior with all sorts of random redstone stuff lying around. Might need a rework on the looks, or move more of that to the jungle temples which are already showcasing basic redstone stuff
agreed, most of the new changes to the ancient cities, namely the redstone tutorials, the dark oak and the blue/light blue/cyan wool kinda ruin the aesthetic. i get the dark oak and blue variant wool items contribute to the lore, showing that illagers have been there, but i think it would be a bit better if it was a _very_ rare variant of ancient cities, somewhat on-par with abandoned villages in java edition.

A way to reward learning the redstone that is being taught down there
Is it Xisuma's April Fool's joke, just a day early?
It isn't really that jarring since what's the correlation between a broken down city with beautiful interior? Not to mention the redstone used are very basic. This just further alludes to the ancient cities being built by the Ancient builders, while it by no means says that they're high tech, it simply means they know A LOT more than we first imagined.
@@thegreatescape13 no, unless it's mojang's april fools joke, which i highly doubt.
I really wish the wisp is used, maybe even as a larval/baby stage for the allay
It looks like the baby ghasts but like recoloured (in a good way)
Wait why were they working on a mob they might've not added for a while? I knew the mob vote was rigged when copper golem or (my personal favourite) the glared didn't win. For context I've won every other mob vote
Could also just have two variants of the allay, one like the wisp and the other like the regular allay
the wisp wasn't its own thing in the first place, it was just a prototype. it is the allay
@@springyb0i693 it wasnt rigged.. people liked the allay more lol, plus the wisps were supposed to be part of the nether and discontinued and the idea was brought back
I like the idea of the redstone tutorials but I don’t think they should be in the ancient cities, at least not all of them. There should be a couple variants present in villages and pillager outposts. Maybe some basic automated farms in villages and some trap type stuff in pillager outposts. The harder the area the more advanced the tutorial should be.

YES. They are way too hidden below the Warden portal. I understand them not wanting to overwhelm a casual player but simpler redstone could be used in a lot of places too. It would make the game much more rewarding to explore
it's for the minecraft lore enthusiasts. Noticed how that Wool pile looked awfully similar to Steve's colour palette? The Redstone is there to aware the player that the people in the ancient city thought of using Redstone as a method to escape/avoid the warden. And the allay's sound effects are eerily similar to the vex's, the difference being the vex are hostile and the allays are not. Allays are the previous form of a vex, before the pillagers used their dark magic to turn them evil. (Giving them swords, ability to phase through walls). If you hear closely to a vex's sound effect when it dies, it sounds like multiple screams and not just one.....
I think redstone tutorials would suit woodland mansions quite well, as something the illagers are learning. There could be a couple different rooms with a couple different circuits in them.
I also like how the jungle temple incorporates redstone into the structure itself, and we could get more dungeons like it, or like the sculk sensor lamp posts in the ancient city.
Maybe a labratory building type in Villages as a rare occurance. Could have a new Villager Job that trades items like Pistons or Repeaters.
I still think allays should be renewable, seems like it'd be too difficult to find them if they only spawn in uncommon structures on world gen. Also I feel like the ancient cities don't really have too many god apples anyways since a) it's clearly an end-game level structure since the loot actually seems a bit similar to end cities and b) I feel like it'd be better if god apples were easier to obtain since currently I feel they're so rare that you'll never want to use them. They should also add like a way to separate the minecart/boat and [block] in like the crafting grid in case you want to reuse them
My thoughts exactly. The loot is decent but by the time you would ideally visit the city, everything except the swift sneak and otherside music disc is easily obtainable and farmable.
And we already have end cities (and villagers) for diamonds and diamond equipment, so that’s kind of off the table
I agree with the ancient city loot as well! Perhaps Notch apples should generate a bit more commonly. Not to mention, why snowballs and ice? That's honestly very lame. I also agree with separating TNT/furnace/chest/hopper minecarts through the crafting grid
I honestly think god apples should be made craftable, with some ungodly expensive recipe. Gold blocks weren't a terrible idea. Eight stacks of gold blocks for a stack of god apples is really expensive, and that means most people aren't going to use god apples as their day to day food item.
@@Anas-gz4my snowballs is to teach the mechanic of distracting the Warden in the place, and the ice is theming with the ice box. and ice box is an old school refrigerator if you didn't know
@@cerebraldreams4738 You can easily farm gold though, Enchanted Apples can literally make you invincible for some time, it should not be able to be farmable so easily
For me this is screaming lore.
First, the illagers were here, they build passages with dark oak and the wool colours they have at the mansions. Second, there's evidence the city was built by ancient villagers (mending, warden-corrupted golem, golden carrots). Third, what is an unlit campfire doing in the middle of the wool storage
And why does the wool have the *exact* colour palette as Steve’s clothes?
Why the Illagers? What if this is the origins of the Illagers - what if the reason they're pale and not exactly the same as the villagers is because long ago they diverged from the villagers to live underground in cities their own way, becoming pale and such until something happened involving the Skulk and maybe even the Warden and they were forced to return to the surface, now a homeless people they build homes in biomes they were most familiar with from their excursions to the surface and now seek to expand further by irradicating the villagers and perhaps taking their land
@@starsilverinfinity maybe the other way, the villagers came from the underground being pale but only some of them adapted
@@pavloydus Hrm - a good alternative. . .perhaps some resorted to normal city life while others took the tech that caused them to lose their homes and refined it in secret mansions, waiting for the time to reassert their "superiority"
My theory is that these cities were inhabited by villagers who were corrupted into illagers. The iron golem was transformed into the warden. It doesn't quite add up, since it'd mean the warden and illagers would be on the same team, which they don't seem to be. But it's a theory I like. Lots of possibilities for lore, indeed.
Since the new wool blocks that generate are the same color as the ones on the wool room of the woodland mansion, we could tell that the illagers were at the ancient cities before
Maybe the allays came from the portal at the center of the city and thats where the illagers found them
I have a theory about the new structures in the ancient city:
the wool and the wood looks like the ones in the woodlen Mansion, they seems that they were put there later, like someone already discover the ancient City.... so I belive Illagers already went there
Not surprised if this was the case, the dudes are freaking everywhere lmao
exactly my thoughts as soon as I saw that big pile of wool.
@@Fikova-db1um why does the wool have the exact colour palette of Steve’s clothes?
Especially if you factor in the theory of the Illagers trying to create life, perhaps this was an early iteration of their trials, seeking some ancient power beneath the earth, that eventually never came to fruition
@@lawsonhovind7335 - Either that or their attempts created a monster that started slaughtering them, so they got the fuck out of town and built a woodland mansion instead, where they've figured out how to make a totem of undying and summon vexes. This would make the Warden a dangerous failed experiment that illagers are careful not to repeat.
I like that there’s a way for new players to learn red stone. However, it feels out of place in the ancient cities. I think it would be better as a world template that new players can go into to learn
I think it's a very cool concept that absolutely should be incorporated into more structures but I also don't like how it was implemented.
I think that having a pristine lab that looks clean and neat is very out of place, yet it would be amazing if it was a trap that not only spawned the warden if the player wasn't careful, but would also have a lot of incomplete circuits for the player to find, giving rewards for repairing them (for example opening a door or something)
You got April Fooled
wrong
Years ago I used to dream of incorporating more Redstone into Villages. It would be readily accessable to new players and would greatly encourage it's use.
@@MattiAntsuK that's a day early in the majority of places, and i think it would be a ton more blunt if it was an April Fools joke
i love the allay noises, they have bells and chimes in their voices! gives a sense that they are otherworldly and ethereal, strange little things we don't fully understand. like trickster fairies that laugh when you ask them something, or that have been put in cages to stop them from leading people deeper into the forest! maybe they could be adjusted as not to be so piercing like you say, but i think they sound delightful, very playful like windchimes
The colors of wool used in the ancient city immediately reminded me of Steve, which I think is a very cool piece of lore
Quasilore
Same piles of wool as in the Illager Mansions
@@anthony1451 Which are also made of dark oak wood.
Steve's colors are: purple, light blue, white, dark tan, dark brown, and a tiny bit of gray....
How is a pile of blue wool steve's colors?
@@timewarpdrive77 Steve's pants?
There’s two other advancements too, both in husbandry. One for getting a bucket of tadpole, then on for getting all types of frog light.
i actually really enjoy their noises: it feels like they're mischievous imps of some kind who you can sort of corral into picking up items but ultimately they're a little scatterbrained
I was hoping that the Allay would sound cuter or more curious. In my mind it would be what BD-1, from Jedi: Fallen order, would sound like if it was a living thing.
I wouldn’t want to use them purely because hearing their sounds all the time would give me a headache
I really like the new ancient cities
Feels like someone recently came and built the wooden and wool structures to help them explore the place
I feel like the Ancient City overhaul has some big new lore implications. It looks like the ancient cities existed years ago, after they died out a new civilization took residence there and repaired some of the worn stone bits with wood, as well as introducing colorful carpets. The wood isn't fully rotted away, the wool is vibrant - those people were there not too long ago. Those people seem responsible for the redstone as well, finding ways to utilize the sculk sensors as a trap to their own benefit.
It's the Illagers, dark oak and Shades of blue wool. Just like the mansions
honestly, I think the redstone shown is beyond the pillagers, *especially* the door. I think the civilization who built the huge city in the first place were the ones tinkering with machines. Besides, it seems like the redstone room was built along with the statue, and there is no way the pillagers built that statue.
The illagers! They seekee refuge in the depths of the caves turning pale and grey, turning tje city into makeshift bases in which they would learn from the city's lost builders while avoiding the warden, thhey eventually left the place to build a better base eithout threats, the mansions, and with obtaining knowlegde of the lost advanced race, they rule the overworld
The redstone tips idea was amazing. I love how Mojang makes effort to lay hints to features in the game, for example the igloo basement teaching curing, jungle temples regarding basic piston code combinations, and now the central statue pillars regarding silencing skulk tech. With all of this, the new idea is really good!
What if the chest infront of the warden head/portal was a trapped chest that that triggered a trapdoor to drop you into the tutorial room. The lamps ticking down made me instantly think of a clock , and a structure with a small timer challenge linked up to a few pieces of TNT could be cool.
I don't think it's a tutorial room, it's for lore
@@LazyLoonz The room that teaches you how to use redstone components and make contraptions from them isn't a tutorial? Got it.
that Minecart Variant Change is HUGE for minecart-focused farms that break and re-dispense those minecarts, it means that the process can be entirely automated and self-sufficient now! I remember IlMango Talking about this when he went over the Chest-Boats, explaining how much easier it'd be if the carts did the same thing that the boats did, which is drop as a single item. i'm so glad they actually did this. makes me think they were watching Mango's video on it. :D
I'm glad the Allay have good, union regulated breaks
13:47 Im pretty sure its showcasing how redstone signals dont go through transparent blocks but do with other blocks, however the sculk growth seems to have messed that up
I love that little addition of the redstone tutorial area! Definitely needs tweaking though. I've loved redstone for ages, and if this addition helps bring more newcomers to the community then that's so great!
It would also add anxiety during exploration since the redstone makes a lot of noise, which can be lethal in the Ancient City
Probably increase the tension during exploration
@@Onion_Toby Nah, that room was built to be untouchable. It's why it's the only place the Ancients could work on redstone in peace in the city
They said there's gonna be something we were NEVER be able to do before in the deep dark city in that one Minecraft Live. I'm hoping for something crazy, like auto crafting, teleporting via some kind of way stone, or maybe a brand new weapon/magic. Honestly I'll be happy if there's anything worth going to the Deep Dark for. I like where they're going with the parity and stuff too, I hope someday soon the barrier between Bedrock and Java is destroyed and they're essentially the same game with cross play.
A lad can dream I suppose
Like a new dimension?
I think they really should make the cities something unique as well, besides the Stronghold, Nether Fortress, Village and End city, there is no other structure that gives you very valuable and unique loot, or other important things gameplay wise
According to the feedback site, bedrock and java redstone are never going to be the same... So I doubt full parity will ever happen (let alone cross-play)
@@timewarpdrive77 cross play already exists
@@timohara7717 Not between java and pocket editiion
Honestly it would be cool to see a glowing mushroom or flower underground 🤷♂️
agreed
Glow lichen and glow berries are probably already meant to serve that purpose, but I agree, there should be some sort of glowing plant to liven up non-lush caves at least a little bit.
A glowing mushroom seems like a good idea, maybe even have the caves beneath mushroom islands be filled with giant versions of these.
Spore Blossom: Am I a joke to you?
LOVE the redstone-tutorial-area-idea-thingy. Especially when it involves the new skulk blocks. I'm with you on their location though. Maybe they should appear in some other ancient building. Like an "ancient lab" or "test chamber" or something.
I think being down in the world, as far as they are right now, is still OK. We don't wanna give new players ALL the answers upfront, right?? Should definitely be further down than where redstone ore naturally appears. =p
I also like the idea of having those transparent wisps. Even in the Nether. Like maybe they could be the opposite of the Allay. Instead of finding items for you ... they'll come steal your items? ... and you can watch your diamond sword float away in its belly. Maybe a new item to help counter or catch them back or something.
It would probably be a better idea to not have a dedicated redstone tutorial area, but rather just have a variety of complex redstone circuits integrated into the city itself, making the former inhabitants seem more technologically advanced and let the players pick them apart rather than just be shown exactly how they work piece by piece.
I wonder how tango is gonna utilize the warden in the future.. design the entire decked out 2 around the warden spawn block since the spawn mechanic doesn't work if you move it?
I'm not sure he'll be using shriekers at all when he can just like name tag a warden and take it where he needs it
@@noimnotgoingtoenteraname I think it still despawns even with a name tag
@@noimnotgoingtoenteraname i guess that's a good way to do it. It all depends on how it all works out in the end. I didn't watch much of season 7 but if the player isn't supposed to kill the warden in any way and/or the wardens name tag stays when he goes into a block i think you only need one, and that makes it easier to design for sure.
@@randomviewer396 no
damn
the sounds of the allay really look like from outer world
12:54 There is a chest above with a golden carrot in it. Eating the golden carrot will produce a sound loud enough to trigger the sculk sensors, opening the secret door.
Oh. I thought i was unlucky with that loot lol
Somethung super cool I noticed was that the pile of wool in the Ancient City is the same colors that are in the wool room in the Woodland Mansion. Maybe some cool lore connectivity going on?
I am so SO happy about the note block with wool change, I love making little note block songs in builds and it’s always really annoyed me that you had to have an entire air block above the noteblocks for them to work.
2:07 that sounds like a pretty big blow to tango's plans for decked out two, at least location wise
love how the allay sounds as well
Tap dancing warden probably gonna be in April fools day tomorrow
I think the allay noises are so mystical sounding, but in a very pleasant way. I don’t think I’d mind hearing a bunch of them as long as the devs cranked dowm their volume a bit.
Honestly the redstone tutorials would make so much more sense in a wooden mansion. It adds to existing lore around the illagers, and the mansions are honestly full of wasted space.
I feel like the sound design is missing the opportunity to make the musical mob harmonize with other Allays. I think this would add a whole new sound dimension to the game and you could have a choir of Allays singing while picking up items.
I love the allay voices, I didn't care about the redstone use, I voted for the atmospheric side. I wanted a mob that'll work for an enchanted forest and not only does it work for that but it could work for a cursed forest or horror map with some of its sounds
Same, I was hoping for a mystical ambient noise for them as I voted for them purely because they reminded me of fairies
That circuit at 13:47 is supposed to show the properties of solid and transparent blocks: the skulk sensor seems like a random spawn which has messed things up.
It's 12 on the side, yes, but you can also place the boat into a slab or another half block, making it 24 hoppers from the side, and 9 from the top, for a total of 33 hoppers into one chest, or 33 items (over half a stack) every 8 ticks.
Wool blocks add a lot of lore, notice the colours of the wool are that of Steve
The redstone room somewhat reminds me of the airship interior from the When Dungeons Arise Mod
Judging by the shape of the wooden towers (which look like pillager outpost roofs) and the fact that they are made of dark oak has me believe it is meant to show that at some point pillagers we’re sneaking around in the ancient city but left or were all killed by the warden
Especially how out of place and bolted on they look. Mojang has fully figured out how to do environmental storytelling in a procedural world and it's great.
They may have been killed, rest in peace oof
8:12 *"Wouldn't it be cool if we had a dyeable mob in the game?"*
Dogs, Cats, and Sheep: *"Am I a joke to you?"*
5:08 And if you put the boat on a slab, you can have two layers feeding it from the sides.
The chestboat is yet more powerful than you say at the end of this video. You can have it sitting on a slab and get two levels of side hoppers: 9 on top, 12 on one side layer, 12 on another side layer, and 9 on bottom is 33 inward hoppers and 9 outward ones.
And you can get even more insane with droppers, which can go much faster.
@@kabobawsome And can point up, deading to Ilmango surrounding a chestboat with 41 droppers (one was missing so the boat could get in and out) to fill it in 8.5 seconds
The redstone tutorial idea is really cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing it expanded upon in the future!
8:14
Sheep: Ah, yes, wouldn't it be cool indeed.
It would be so scary when you are admiring a redstone contraption in the city and suddenly you hear a warden coming.
That is currently pretty unlikely, considering it is in a sealed off room, which would be easy to clean of shriekers. But that could be changed by just not having this room and instead integrating a bunch of complex contraptions into buildings all over the city.
The blue and light blue wool piles are also found in woodland mansions, which means that illagers have some sort of involvement with ancient cities.
The jungle temple would be better for the redstone tutorials!🌴 -more accessible and already has redstone in it!
Why not have both? An updated jungle temple for basic contraptions and the ancient city for complex ones.
I don't think either of them should really contain an actual tutorial room, like the ancient city currently does, but instead contain sensible use cases for the player to pick apart.
if this thing actually turned out to be a portal to a new dimension, that would be so sick. Or maybe it connects multiple cities with each other :o imagine linkable portals
Portal links would be a really cool means of fast traveling. Kinda would fit more to gain access to this sort of stuff in the end, but either way, I hope that this would be possible to somehow reverse engineer, so the system wouldn't be reliant on the player finding two rare ancient cities and liking an area nearby enough to build at.
@@remor698 maybe you could get the blocks from the cities and put them in another location
1:32 damn, rip that idea where I can troll my friends by summoning the warden in their house... :(
13:45 it's showing that Redstone signal can travel through some blocks, but not glass
Lorewise, the ancient cities' wool colors are common to a room in a woodland mansion, and the allay is connected more to vexes by sounding like multiples voices or 'souls'.
The pile and color of wool, and the dark oak towers, reminds me of the woodland mansion. I wonder if some pillagers went there before your character
I saw that livestream! Wow! I'm really glad they actually incorporated your idea, that's awesome!
The allay sound without items is haunting (and might get pretty annoying)
Also about structure variation it would be really cool if like desert pyramids were given some different layouts as well. Seeing how much effort is put into the ancient cities it wouldn't take that much effort to update a few older structures with varieties. One variant could be more ruined etc
Yeah, in general, I feel like a lot of the really old stuff could use some updates with the new level of quality, the devs are putting on display right now. Mobs should have more personality in their animations or at least some nice idles for that purpose. The old temples and such should be remade to look more in line with what the build team can do nowadays and get some worn down and slightly altered variants.
15:09 If you raise the boat a little in the Y axis you can double the number of hoppers pointing into it from the sides for a total of 9 x 12 x 12 x 9 = 42. I can't think of a use case for this yet but I expect someone will.
I think making shulkers (the mob, not the container) dye-able would be a really cool addition to vanilla tweaks!
Ok, hear me out. To reactivate the Shrieker you'd need an item dropped by the Warden or a chest in the ancient city.
I'd say, between those two options, a loot chest would be best. Otherwise, once you have one activated, you can use that shrieker to farm more and not worry about activation anymore. Plus, the devs have said they want the wardens to be something you run away from, they don't want to encourage trying to kill it.
I feel like random skulk should be some sort of energy that gives the thing energy
I don't use Twitter so im super glad you threw in the dancing warden animation that was hilarious and adorable and im glad I saw it lol
I wish that there was some kind of new item/weapon or smth that was only obtainable inside of the ancient cities or something
I like how the ancient city is playing up sneaking and parkour on carpets.
Hope you showcase the carpet and wood in ancient cities without night vision in next snapshot. As is with light the wood stands out awkwardly.
Maybe digging up treasure and ore makes it harder to safely keep collecting without alerting warden, etc.
I think the archeology would make lots of sense in this update. We could do something like excavate to find out what the people that lived there did to keep safe from wardens.
Well they more than likely failed at keeping safe from the warden and their countermeasure appears to just have been to make their walkways out of wool.
Xisuma: wouldn’t it be cool if we had a dye-able mob in the game?
Sheep: am I a joke to you?
What's the brainstorming livestream Xisuma talked about? Is there a VOD? I would love to see it
I really like how the ancient city is shaping up. If I had a complaint, I suppose it’s that it looks less like a city and more like a grid based walled compound where people only patrol, and had never lived in.
They appear to be adding things to improve that aspect, like the variation improvements, and packed Ice room, but it's still a bit lack luster. Feels more like a nether fortress underground than a city.
But I digress, snapshots are anything but perfect.
I think making the allay behave more natural is the better choice. If they just worked like machinery (pick item up instantly, drop off, wait for next item) it would make them feel very emotionless.
I think the extra wool and wooden structures are tied to the illagers. The wood towers look like pillager outposts and the one other place you find wool that colour is in the woodland mansion.
I love that the cart variants now dont auto break. But would be nice to un-craft them in some type of way. If even they add a new block that is fairly cheap called the cart separator or whatever, maybe make it a new villager profession that trades transportation specific items and stuff. Similar to railcraft I guess.
I think the change on skulk shrieker would affect Tango's Decked Out 2.0. Now he would need a new location beyond the world border when 1.19 comes out.
Sounds like standard hopper minecart unloaders will change. Just break the hopper minecart, get all items as entities, move across water stream onto sorters, and reuse hopper minecart. No more need to be bottlenecked by droppers or hopper lines.
Hopper minecars breaking intact is to redstoners, as light level is to builders.
13:45 i went there in my world and there was no sculk. it looked like it was showing how redstone goes through solid blocks but not glass
The Allay sounds spooky to me. I'd like to see them incorporated in a haunted house build. I hope we get to see their little dance soon too.
The blue wool found in the ancient cities is also found in a specific room inside the Woodland Mansions!!
X - wouldn't it be nice if we had a dyeable mob in the game?
Sheep- am i a joke to you?
Evoker- why yes...yes you are...lol (turns blue sheep red)
Wololo.
Ooh, the shrieker change is potentially bad news for Decked Out 2.0
(Reposting this here, I already posted this comment on RayWorks video because I want to see what the community thinks of this.)
Not going to lie, the loot in the Ancient Cities still isnt enough for me. I dont mean to sound greedy, but what they really need to add are SEVERAL new items that are VERY valuable for me to find. As it stands, most of the current loot are stuff that I can find more easily in other places, or just random enchanted stuff which I mostly dont care about because I can just trade with librarians to get the same or better books.
How about a new plant only found here, that can be farmed and used to brew luck potions? How about a new enchantment only found here that is essentially looting for bows? How about a brand new music disk just for this place? How about a guaranteed wither skull in every city? How about a new composter-like block that can convert certain blocks and items into XP instead of bonemeal, with rarer or more valuable items filling the machine faster and giving you more XP? Or perhaps instead, a new block/item that can be used to store your XP in bulk? What about rare enchanting books that are a level higher than the normal max level of that enchant, but it costs 50 XP to apply onto an item?
I mean COME ON MOJANG! Actually make me want to explore this place! Look at 12:00 and tell me that the loot table is the best. It isnt. The best parts of the loot is the enchanted golden apples, which your not ever going to eat anyway as they are more or less just a collectors item due to their unbelievable rarity, and the other main value to these chests is the enchanting books, and again, you can just trade with Librarians to get even better books, except for swift sneak, which isnt even that crazy. It just lets you sneak faster. Its nice, but I can absolutely live without it. Take out the golden apples and enchanting books from the looting table, and what are you left with? It actually largely looks like dungeon or mineshaft loot with several changes and the inclusion of Diamond horse armor, bottles of enchanting, some enchanted pants and hoes for some reason, and everything else is immediately forgettable. The loot still needs a major overhaul. It makes zero sense for the literal strongest mob IN THE ENTIRE GAME to be largely guarding an enchantment for pants and chests with glowberries, coal, candles, nametags, soul torches, and leads. Like, come on.
We should still be mass petitioning Mojang to add more new loot to the deep dark chests.
Completely agree another item could be a new totem or bag that holds your exp on death so you can recover all of your lost exp on your body
Thats a good one! Its just so frustrating how cool this place is and how much I want to explore it, but it just doesnt feel like its REWARDING ME for exploring it, especially considering how high stakes this place is with a near unstoppable warden out to kill me because I... stole a saddle, some candles, and some amethyst from him... wait what.
I love the redstone stuff- I always struggle understanding it so this seems really cool!

The idea of redstone concepts being introduced is interesting, but I don't feel it fits very well here. Maybe one concept per structure type? Like something in jungle temples, something in desert temples, something in villages, something in pillager outposts, etc. It just feels weird having it all cramped into a tiny room like that, especially when none have an actual purpose. A piston door may be cool for the new ancient cities
Yeah, a dedicated redstone tutorial room feels almost immersion breaking to me. But I do like the idea of the ancient city inhabitants having been much more technologically advanced than any other known civilization. As such, I'd prefer a bunch of use cases for complex redstone contraptions to be integrated all over the city.
@@remor698 Yeah, that would be much better. Really don't wanna see the redstone room in the final update release
It would be cool if the portal led to a dimension entirely comprised of skulk blocks so it's like the skulk took over an entire world and it's starting to spread to a new one
The Allay death sound is very similar to one of the eerie noise sound effects.
I think Tango's day may have just been ruined with that blockstate thing...
that pile of light blue, teal, and blue wool are the same colors as the wool in the piles in woodland mansions.....
I think that there should be some truly unique and useful loot in the cities that is actually worth searching for. Since the release of the End Cities, there was no other structure added into the game that is worth searching out, for example Strongholds and Nether fortresses are like this, altough it is true that you don't seek them out for the loot they have in their chests for example. They should add more content into the game that matters gameplay wise (like the sculk blocks), and is not just another texture that you use only for decoration (like the mangrove swamps)
Why are boats with chests completely OP. I think the redstone thing under the city center is a great change as new players are most likely not going to get into redstone first thing, and some of the redstone circuits down there seem to be on the more complicated side. Very cool that you suggested a feature like that, Xisuma
Just to give some knowledge of my own There is a dyeable mob in the game : Tamed wolf's (you can dye their collar's with dye's) But in bedrock there is tamed wolfs and Shulkers (dont play bedrock so im not sure how to dye them, with dye's or commands)
I think it would be neat if you could get an allay to be dyeable and it would go to the note block with the note that is the same color.
Some people already commented about the dark oak, but here's my theory.
The devs specifically said that dark oak is reserved for illager structures only. This could mean that the Ancient City was an illager structure? Maybe the city is what corrupted villagers into illagers? Then the warden could be a corrupted iron golem.
The redstone tutorial concept seems really cool. Also free redstone, can't complain👏
3:11 That is so much easier. I recall trying to play with those and finding the chests can no longer stack due to a hidden tag change.
mojang: makes the shrieker not work when the player places it
I think I can hear tango crying out in agony somewhere off in the distance
I like the allay that looks like a tiny ghost, and I like calling them whisps more too.
Minecarts don't break apart anymore! Amazing!! This also makes for some great new potential in using them to actually, you know, help you mine (managing inventory space). :D
It would be cool if they had special compasses which were directed to buried treasure the same way people can bind compasses to lodestones
11:36 I think this might be the first time Note Blocks have been in a structure before
It is actually
I think ancient cities and illagers are related. Both use dark oak wood, and there is a room in the woodland mansion with the same wool colors as the ancient city
