“Is Halloween here yet? Nevermind. Anyway, onto this Week’s Trivia…” (cover pic: MOJANG)

WHAT IF WOOL HAD 32 COLORS?

Same goes for Terracotta, Concrete, Stained glass, Banners, Shulkers, etc. Does the current palette of 16 colors feel limiting? I never gave it much thought with the growing amount of available blocks and texture packs, but Reddit user Isjoni has raised this point and spurred discussion by the community:

VOTE MOBS MAKING A COMEBACK?

Copper golems were an option in Minecraft’s 2021’s Mob Vote. Mojang had famously stated they will not be adding the vote losers into the game: So what gives? Copper Golems are back from the dead in 1.21.9!

• This means…that there is a chance that all the other mob vote losers could be added to the game.
• Like…this is HUGE. We are FINALLY getting mobs that we have been waiting YEARS for.
• I’m serious when i say…this might be one of the biggest things to happen to minecraft in a WHILE.
• The Moobloom. The Iceologer. The Glare. The Rascal. The Tuff Golem. The Crab. AND the Penguin.
• You will ALL get your time to shine soon.

BITS AND PIECES — WISE WORDS?

• “Survival Mode: Give a man nothing and he will strive to create paradise against all odds.”
• “Creative Mode: Give a man everything and he will burn down the world and kill villagers.”
• “The 2 week Minecraft survival phase hitting like a freight train.”
• “I don’t always use shaders, but when I do they carry the build.”

-By unknown.

MAP ART, PAINTINGS AND REALITY?

COMMUNITY GALLERY MOD:

https://zetter.gallery Zetter Gallery is a Minecraft mod which allows you to share paintings created with the in game pixel art editor. Mods with painting editor and painting merchant are installed separately.

TRANSPARENT MAP ARTS:

Did you know Jeracraft found how to make transparent map arts?

The possibilities are huge for custom vanilla builds! Essentially, glass in void (e.g. in the End) = transparent pixels. The rest of the magic comes down to controlling the shade of the map art pixels. Each block will have up to 4 colors depending on its placement, including height. OR SOMETHING, WATCH THE VID!

CINEMATIC PAINTING IRL:
