I’m glad people actually got this joke

How are you finding the hunger drain tweaks in 1.18.30? (I'm finding it so much better to go exploring on foot now!)

Thanks for all of your constructive feedback and comments Minecrafters! 💙❤️

What do you think is happening in Music Disc "5" 👀 Favourite idea of what the story/lore is for it so far?

If you give them a task, something they can concentrate on, horror becomes the boundary. The task becomes the distraction from fear, which is a reward itself.

Of course, this is all talking high level. It's neat piece of environmental storytelling to have it in pieces too (5)

Once you give them a set of rules and tools to move within those constraints, their ability to plan out their intrinsic goals and motivations is what makes Minecraft work. This is especially important in a city in the game where its horrors may often make the player leave (4)

Giving players goals in the city is important, in a similar fashion to the Echo Shards. Once you get one, you now know there's a new thing you can craft and you're now tasked with finding the rest.

A lot of game design is all about framing the psychology of player planning (3)

You'd be looking through half the chests or more in the city before you'd find it - and that's if you even KNOW that it exists beforehand. By it being in fragments, the first time you get it you see a new crafting recipe, which gives you a mini-goal/quest to find them all (2)

Wanted to give some insight as to why Music Disc 5 is split up into fragments - as in, why have a one-off item that only has one crafting recipe?

The reason is because the city itself encourages stealth gameplay. If we only had the disc itself (unfragmented) in chests, (1)

Now that 1.18.30 is out, let's start a fresh adventure on Experimental SMP with all the new Wild Update experimental gameplay!

When the update releases, it will be cool to see how players out-maneuver them. The first encounter will be the scariest and they'll likely die. But consequent encounters I really think players will get a good idea of what to do.

I don't look at Enderman after my first encounter

Wardens are like Enderman but angrier, in that both can be somewhat easily avoided as long as you know what you're doing

I think people have this impression that its a mob that is impossible to overcome because of its strength - but skilled players will never be noticed

Do you hear that?

Nope, it’s not that mumbling villager staring at you, it’s new music for the Wild Update, in this week’s Snapshot and Beta. Check out the links for the full list of features and don’t forget to give us your feedback:

TONS of tweaks to the Allay as well as new throwing sounds!

I tried to take all the best parts from both editions and react to all your amazing feedback!

What do you think of the new sounds?
How does it feel to play with the Allay now?

A very musical new snapshot today!

A new seasonal adventure arrives in Minecraft Dungeons today, adding lots of new excitement, including the famous 'Mob D', the Wildfire!

With a loud blast, the Warden's Sonic Boom attack arrives in today's Bedrock Beta/Preview, along with Echo Shards, new Wild Update music, and more!

Today's new Java Snapshot includes the new music disc 5, but it's fragmented and you'll need to collect the pieces as rare loot in Ancient Cities if you want to add it to your collection 😎🧩

It's time for a Bedrock Beta / Preview update! 1.19.0.26 is rolling out today!
