Thank you for the explanation. I guess I just felt like some of the new achievements were so specific compared to some of the older ones, like having three different achievements for looking at things through the spyglass, versus visiting 40+ biomes combined in one achievement.

Also, is there a specific reason why the "Wax on" and "wax off" achievements are combined in the Bedrock Edition? You say you want to have them separate, which I now understand why, but they are not separate in all versions of Minecraft

Wonder if this change is anything to do with zombies picking up items and not despawning like the glow squid ink pickup removal.

I honestly think they have been adding too many advancements in these past few update cycles. Like "wax on" and "wax off" achievements could easily be one.

You can set your normal render distance the same way. Simulation is another distance value. For example: You set your render distance to 8

But simulation to 14

There for chunks within the 8 distance are loaded and everything from 8-14 is “simulated”, basically it’s just the blocks that are loaded.

You can still set your render distance to high amounts

Oh, cool! I stand corrected, missed that in the changelog. Is it the same TomCC algo used for MCPE, or something new?

Can somebody eli5 the technical changes this snapshot? Does this mean we can get drastically improved render distance?

Probably not drastically, at least not in single-player. As the game runs, every chunk loaded costs quite a bit of time.

• If you encounter a new chunk, it gets completely procedurally generated on the fly. From bottom to top. Every new noise type and worldgen feature added to C&C's worldgen code adds to the creation time. This is done in parallel per chunk, so if you have a really good CPU, you might be able to get more render distance than before now. More likely though is that chunk loadin's gonna be about the same or slower on PCs with only a few CPU cores.

• Loading an edited chunk from save file is probably only just a bit slower than in 1.17 since chunks are bigger and contain more block types.

• Though, if you're editing a chunk (placed a block or broken a block, have a permanent entity there), the chunk first needs to compress itself, then store itself to disk. This takes a lot of time, especially now that there is a lot more blo...

I think it may be revisited

Nooooooooo. Please don't nerf my elytra. I have enough trouble exploring as is, and there's already a trade-off between armor and flying. Elytra already require Unbreaking III and mending to not be practically useless. (Falling from a great height because I don't have 3 mob farms between spawn and the end portal was frustrating to say the least, and even phantom membranes are late game for us.)

I'm okay with it if it requires enchantments to get it back up to current levels, but being nerfed without the ability to undo will make it insanely difficult for me to explore and get places. Especially now that everything is bigger.

If the reasoning is that other transport methods are obsolete, why don't we just make the other methods better? Like rivers that boats can actually go through, easier-timed horse jumps, scaffolding that actually works and doesn't kill you. Or change the speed curve of minecart rails so that the longer you go on booster rails, the faster y...

you a dev or something? You keep using "we" as if you're actually working on the game.

I hope they revisit the idea of nerfing elytra a bit, they could use it, even if this specific implementation wasn't working.

Originally posted by Certain-Whereas-7735

Aw man, why did you guys remove the changes to the elytra? I enjoyed not using durability when gliding. Are you guys gonna change it in a future snapshot? Not understanding why it wasn't included here.

So your players didn't build ice boat tracks or dolphin's grace routes yet?

I think it would be a good idea to generate rivers at a higher level in the mountains biome and create waterfalls whenever the mountains biome end.

It’s how I try compensating for the fact the character doesn’t have joints lol, glad you liked it

Why does it need a nerf, impaling is garbage (Unless you're talking about bedrock edition impaling)

Here’s my feedback(not only on this snapshot):

• I think that shields should block a percentage of incoming melee damage when active instead of a value. This will slightly nerf shields in earlygame when you only fight mobs that hardly deal more than 5 damage but also makes them not obsolete against players or strong mobs. There could also be an enchant to increase this percentage.

• I love the cleaving buff, as it makes axes kind of viable as weapons again

• mobs should be changed to fit with the new combat and player’s power in PvE. They should be affected by their weapons’ attack reaches(not copy it entirely though) as well as other things so the player isn’t overpowered compared to mobs.

• Imo, hoes should be able to be enchanted with weapon enchantments (except cleaving of course), because it would add a fourth melee weapon(swords, axes, tridents, hoes) which would be fast and have a lot of range at the cost of dealing much less damage. Even more...

Ah thank you for the reply!

I also have to also ask, how come the tougher mobs like Vindicators and Piglin Brutes were nerfed? They do 13 damage in Normal currently, but 9-10 in the combat snapshots. Is this a bug caused by changing the attacks of certain weapons?

Thanks
