Maybe it's just me, but doesn't the Warden look goofy af? The way it looks, especially the big head with coral-like horns/whatever, and the way it moves, feel more comical than fear inducing to me.
I'm really considering not updating at all. Not only because I spent months designing a custom worldgen pack that won't work on versions higher than 1.7 and I have no idea how to fix, but it doesn't feel like I'm really missing something. It's mostly gimmicks that don't make the game any better, who cares.

You're not alone, I guess it depends on your play style.
I for example, have never been one of those people that must "beat all the bosses"/"get all the achievements"/"speedrun" etc etc. That doesn't interest me and is not why I play the game. It's fine for those that do - but that's just not me personally. Whilst I do continue to play my main 11 year old+ world, I have upgraded it and started a new separate 1.19 world, but am in no rush to seek out the warden as it just doesn't hold enough interest for me.
If I stumble across the ancient cities in this new world I'll guess I'll deal with it, but I'm in no hurry to seek it/The warden; out.
Like Minecraft forums or interested in my world? Try My message board, it's better moderated because I run it directly and have run Internet message boards for 21+ years! Better software and I have much more control to keep the content more up to date. Free to join, 13 years+.
Unfortunately, the moderators clearly do not care about the site, else they would have implemented proper measures to deal with them (like automatically flag any post with a forbidden link as spam, and strengthen the filter to make it harder to circumvent, as the last poster did), but they have instead allowed them to destroy what is left of this place.

Yeah, unfortunately, the spam issue is possibly much bigger than you might be aware. If it hasn't been mentioned previously, the video spam issue started when some big YouTuber posted a video back in late 2020 about how to make money posting spam on Internet forums -- and they included a detailed example of posting on the Minecraft forum. We were blindsided by the amount of spam that we suddenly started seeing. The forum anti-spam software is slowly improving on detecting and hiding that spam, but we still do see some slip through -- I would bet less than a few percent are visible by the regular forum users.
In the first year of that video being on YouTube, the forum was visited by more than 500,000 new spam-posting users -- that averages at more than 1300 per day for that period. We are now down to an average of about 600-700 new spam users joining per day, and what the forum software doesn't hide with its spam filter functionality, it at least censors most of the spam links using other functionality. We can't really make those posts with censored links be hidden automatically simply because we are now down to roughly 10 forum staff that assist with this forum, and I am not sure we have the time or programming expertise to dig through the forum software and add that functionality. Since we are no longer part of Curse, we can't rely on their software development team to assist with that. Basically, in a nutshell, we are trying to do everything that we can do to solve this giant spam issue, but we are severely limited in what we can realistically do.
The update does not have as many features as others with 68 features and others having more and with bedrock for Nintendo switch says 1.19.1 in of 1.19.0 and The Warden not doing as much damage with it's sonic boom on bedrock. Java on the other hand is pretty good, when I was play I didn't get many problems. My rating is 4.5 out of 5.
Reasons for rating:
A little unorganized
Some features that should of been there in the first place
I guess if I look at 1.19 as adding content that was long overdue from 1.17 when it was originally slated, it's somewhat hard to see why it's an update that adds so little besides that. 1.19 seems a lot like 1.10 in that only a small amount of content was added. The Warden is an interesting concept, but whether it really adds that much to the average player's game is something that could be argued about no end. What I will say is that the tools for mapmakers are the biggest takeaway from 1.19, as the Skulk Sensors and such can be used in more interesting ways than exist in the Ancient Cities.
It's an okay update, and that's fine. Interesting concepts will often be hard to integrate into existing worlds, and I think they've managed to do well.
The revamped birch forest concept was just an idea they wanted to share in hopes to add it themselves, but again time was the problem. With another half-year or full year, they maybe could've been able to implement it.
Just curious, have you ever actually developed a mod? How long do you think it took for me to add these features as part of my own "birch forest revamp" (not actually, and this was long before 1.19, and since 1.6.4 doesn't even have a birch forest biome I had to add the biome itself):
This is the code for birch forests in TMCWv1, before I added the following features - this is all you actually need to add a new biome that just changes the ground cover or other basic parameters (trees, grass, flowers, mobs, etc):
public class BiomeGenBirchForest extends BiomeGenBase
{
public BiomeGenBirchForest(int par1)
{
super(par1);
this.spawnableCreatureList.add(new SpawnListEntry(EntityWolf.class, 8, 4, 4));
this.theBiomeDecorator.treesPerChunk = 15;
this.theBiomeDecorator.grassPerChunk = 4;
}
public WorldGenerator getRandomWorldGenForTrees(Random par1Random)
{
return this.worldGeneratorForest;
}
}
(my current code is a lot more complex as it chooses one of many different types of tree depending on a random value as well as one of several different biomes; you also have to add the biome to the biome generator for it to actually generate, which can be as simple as adding a new entry to a list; it takes longer to add new plants, mobs, etc).
There are two new variants of birch tree visible here, including a 2x2 variant, as part of a "big birch forest" biome:
Years? Nope. Months? Nope? Maybe a few hours over a number of days also spent on adding other features at the same time. In fact, the first version of TMCW was released about a month after I started creating it (I started a new world on March 14, 2014 using a mod I made which initially included a handful of changes and added two new biomes, a hilly variant of plains (basically just copying a line of code and increasing the height) and a forested variant of extreme hills (also basically just copying code and changing the types/number of trees) - over the following month or so I added a couple dozen more biomes, many a lot more complex (including their own trees and unique world generation), along with numerous other features, with TMCW, as I named it, released on April 23, 2014 (a list of features added in version 1 is in comment #5; these are by no means exhaustive, just including the biggest visible changes, e.g. I don't list every bugfix, and I also occasionally make minor updates without announcing them)
This was also all developed while playing on the same world, which has no chunk walls due to changes in biome generation because when I added a new biome I made sure it didn't generate bordering existing chunks, which took some additional time to check (back then I didn't have my own biome mapping tool so I had to compile the game and run it to check for changes, or a "debug biomes" world type which generates every biome in a grid so I can easily find them, or my own cave mapping tool (this was actually created with a standalone tool, not the game itself, and is far faster than having to fly/run around to generate chunks, even with Speed 100), and so on).
Later versions did take more time to between releases (up to years) but that was because I spent most of the time playing on my first world, or large-scale refactorings of the codebase, including more or less making my own "Optifine" and merging my own rendering fixes and optimizations (at this point I'd even downloaded a "diff" tool to make file comparisons much easier, as by then I'd already extensively modified rendering code for my own features so I couldn't just replace the classes) - code refactors are also why many vanilla updates took so long, not because they added a lot of content (e.g. the so-called "bountiful update" (1.8) increased the size of the jar file (mostly due to new code and classes) more than the entirety of TMCW despite TMCW adding far more content; 1.7 probably added more as well, yet took less than two months from snapshot to release).
Hey, I have an issue with my music sound. I can hear everything outside the animals etc. But it’s the music I am unable to hear. Is there a fix to this yet?
You're not alone, I guess it depends on your play style.
I for example, have never been one of those people that must "beat all the bosses"/"get all the achievements"/"speedrun" etc etc. That doesn't interest me and is not why I play the game. It's fine for those that do - but that's just not me personally. Whilst I do continue to play my main 11 year old+ world, I have upgraded it and started a new separate 1.19 world, but am in no rush to seek out the warden as it just doesn't hold enough interest for me.
If I stumble across the ancient cities in this new world I'll guess I'll deal with it, but I'm in no hurry to seek it/The warden; out.
I'm not one of those people who do speedruns or beat all bosses in Minecraft either, I do intend to fight the Wither some time but only for the beacons for specific builds I want to do, once I have enough of them for myself and friends on my server, the Wither isn't going to interest me any longer.
And I'm not even bothering with the Warden because there is no point, as far as we can tell there isn't any reward for going in the Deep Dark biomes other than finding the 5 Disc and collecting the Skulk sensors which can be used in redstone builds which I have no use for, which are niche items some people are not going to care about. I know a friend who isn't looking forward to getting the 5 Disc because of the insane risk involved.
I play Minecraft for exploration, collecting resources to do builds and occasional fighting against hostile mobs at my leisure, same with other friends who play on my server.
My current world was set to normal difficulty at the time of world creation, (on older worlds I have played on hard but that was a long time ago) as a way to get the best of both worlds type situation, other than damage output of hostile mobs, starving to death and Zombies breaking down doors etc, there isn't really much different about hard difficulty compared to normal and I did this for a friend who plays on my world just so he wouldn't have too much trouble with the Bastions in the Nether.
The real problem with the game is there isn't a mode of the game that caters do both vanilla survival and players that like to collect resources to build without being forced into combat outside of peaceful difficulty.
Once you turn on hostile mobs you then have to deal with all the negatives that come with it, and that includes the potential danger of Warden
while just going about your business mining.
Some people may like the challenge of having to deal with Warden, but clearly not everybody does and some people may even end up hating the game if it is something that causes them stress or makes it feel like the game is trolling them and potentially having something that could ruin a days mining session. Lost diamonds and whatever else that player had in their inventory isn't something they're going to like.
Warden is avoidable, his spawn is not automatic, but the fact it is possible to spawn him even accidentally just by passing through the area means someone else who joins your world or anybody else's world, sooner or later will be met with an unwelcome surprise.
I wish Minecraft vanilla had more options for world customization, bedrock edition is even more limited because
as I've mentioned before in other threads, version locking is impossible, updates are mandatory for multiplayer.
Apparently, 22w42a is for 1.19.3, but some 1.20 experimental features can be enabled by selecting the 1.20 experimental datapack from within 22w42a. More information can be found here:
Maybe it's just me, but doesn't the Warden look goofy af? The way it looks, especially the big head with coral-like horns/whatever, and the way it moves, feel more comical than fear inducing to me.

Not only because I spent months designing a custom worldgen pack that won't work on versions higher than 1.7 and I have no idea how to fix, but it doesn't feel like I'm really missing something.

It DOES look goofy. But it's big and loud.
I have a friend who runs modded 1.7.10 server time to time and it takes FOREVER to even load it.
Definitely the hub for mods although I prefer vanilla - and generally I feel 1.5 was the last true-to-form update, debatably 1.6.
Where we've gotten to has been a very far different (at least somewhat) consistent direction since, but it feels more like a RPG with no NPCs.
The game lost its 'crafty' feeling once it got too big for its britches, and 1.7's biomes ensured that.
What we have is basically a new minecraft. Which is great in its own right but different. There is a reason betacraft versions and superflats have their popularity - we have complexity, but without lore and fleshed-out-ness. There is no interaction with the world directly. It is an abandoned wasteland. There are no intelligent people, just caricatures and dumb-hostile forces.
I have a friend who runs modded 1.7.10 server time to time and it takes FOREVER to even load it.
This is because most modders couldn't care less about optimization; "well, it works, which is all that matters", and modloader-based mods have to be loaded and constructed at run time; it takes me less than 5 seconds to launch TMCWv5 and load a world and 2/3 of that time isn't even the game itself but because of the launcher, which took only about a second to load (measured from the time the launcher says it is starting the game and the game says it is loading resources, it is actually a bit longer as it doesn't say when it finished. The world load time is also significantly reduced since I disabled spawn chunks, so it only had to load 289 chunks instead of 914 (actually, vanilla 1.6.4 would load 1066 chunks due to the view distance being 10 regardless of render distance, though this doesn't mean it is 3.7 times slower as the JVM has to load the server classes and the server has to initialize stuff):

Also, Mojang doesn't care either - they closed this bug report, which quadruples the time it takes for the game to launch, as "cannot reproduce" but it is very easy to reproduce; just try modding the jar directly without making the changes they show (aside from renaming the version, as has been the case since mid-2013 and was sufficient back then, you have to delete a "downloads" section from the json) and see if it isn't refreshed when you click on play. Also, the assets, at least the "legacy" assets, are recreated every time I launch the game, as clearly seen by the modification time and the launcher output:
In my opinion, the new things are nice, but this is the update which added chat reporting.
we got boats in chests, I guess that's helpful? I mean, it means we don't have to build stupidly large and complex minecart systems to move items around now without the ender chest or shulker boxes. But yeah I see what you mean, I have a friend who had a previous lengthy suspension from Xbox Live for telling other's not to send her rude messages and I've lost trust in the Enforcement Team, I can protect her against this on my Minecraft server because it is private
but unfortunately this will negatively affect a lot of other people.
I mean imagine the nonsense that will happen now, suspensions for swearing, or making a joke about something that wasn't a bomb prank or anything that serious. I understand we need rules to protect people, but some of the things people get suspended for is ludicrous and after seeing a friend get screwed by the moderation team on Xbox Live I am very cautious about these people and have since advised her not to reply to people who bother her in future, just block them, as I plan on doing the same.
Best wiki it, i have yet to interact with one beyond looking at them.
As for cities, I genuinely thought they were random.

Hey, I have an issue with my music sound. I can hear everything outside the animals etc. But it’s the music I am unable to hear. Is there a fix to this yet?
Have you considered checking the music volume in your audio settings?
If it's full volume, Consider uninstalling your current version from the %APPDATA%/.minecraft/versions folder and re-downloading it.
Otherwise, It might be a launcher issue. This is not the right thread to report such things, but you can report bugs at the official bug tracker.

The real problem with the game is there isn't a mode of the game that caters do both vanilla survival and players that like to collect resources to build without being forced into combat outside of peaceful difficulty.
Once you turn on hostile mobs you then have to deal with all the negatives that come with it, and that includes the potential danger of Warden
while just going about your business mining.
Some people may like the challenge of having to deal with Warden, but clearly not everybody does and some people may even end up hating the game if it is something that causes them stress or makes it feel like the game is trolling them and potentially having something that could ruin a days mining session. Lost diamonds and whatever else that player had in their inventory isn't something they're going to like.
Warden is avoidable, his spawn is not automatic, but the fact it is possible to spawn him even accidentally just by passing through the area means someone else who joins your world or anybody else's world, sooner or later will be met with an unwelcome surprise.
I wish Minecraft vanilla had more options for world customization, bedrock edition is even more limited because
as I've mentioned before in other threads, version locking is impossible, updates are mandatory for multiplayer.
superb
Wait!
Is 22w42a a new 1.19 snapshot, not 1.20 snapshot?
Now I'm confuse.

ModeratorApparently, 22w42a is for 1.19.3, but some 1.20 experimental features can be enabled by selecting the 1.20 experimental datapack from within 22w42a. More information can be found here:

It DOES look goofy. But it's big and loud.
I have a friend who runs modded 1.7.10 server time to time and it takes FOREVER to even load it.
Definitely the hub for mods although I prefer vanilla - and generally I feel 1.5 was the last true-to-form update, debatably 1.6.
Where we've gotten to has been a very far different (at least somewhat) consistent direction since, but it feels more like a RPG with no NPCs.
The game lost its 'crafty' feeling once it got too big for its britches, and 1.7's biomes ensured that.
What we have is basically a new minecraft. Which is great in its own right but different. There is a reason betacraft versions and superflats have their popularity - we have complexity, but without lore and fleshed-out-ness. There is no interaction with the world directly. It is an abandoned wasteland. There are no intelligent people, just caricatures and dumb-hostile forces.
This is because most modders couldn't care less about optimization; "well, it works, which is all that matters", and modloader-based mods have to be loaded and constructed at run time; it takes me less than 5 seconds to launch TMCWv5 and load a world and 2/3 of that time isn't even the game itself but because of the launcher, which took only about a second to load (measured from the time the launcher says it is starting the game and the game says it is loading resources, it is actually a bit longer as it doesn't say when it finished. The world load time is also significantly reduced since I disabled spawn chunks, so it only had to load 289 chunks instead of 914 (actually, vanilla 1.6.4 would load 1066 chunks due to the view distance being 10 regardless of render distance, though this doesn't mean it is 3.7 times slower as the JVM has to load the server classes and the server has to initialize stuff):

Also, Mojang doesn't care either - they closed this bug report, which quadruples the time it takes for the game to launch, as "cannot reproduce" but it is very easy to reproduce; just try modding the jar directly without making the changes they show (aside from renaming the version, as has been the case since mid-2013 and was sufficient back then, you have to delete a "downloads" section from the json) and see if it isn't refreshed when you click on play. Also, the assets, at least the "legacy" assets, are recreated every time I launch the game, as clearly seen by the modification time and the launcher output:
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
In my opinion, the new things are nice, but this is the update which added chat reporting.
we got boats in chests, I guess that's helpful? I mean, it means we don't have to build stupidly large and complex minecart systems to move items around now without the ender chest or shulker boxes. But yeah I see what you mean, I have a friend who had a previous lengthy suspension from Xbox Live for telling other's not to send her rude messages and I've lost trust in the Enforcement Team, I can protect her against this on my Minecraft server because it is private
but unfortunately this will negatively affect a lot of other people.
I mean imagine the nonsense that will happen now, suspensions for swearing, or making a joke about something that wasn't a bomb prank or anything that serious. I understand we need rules to protect people, but some of the things people get suspended for is ludicrous and after seeing a friend get screwed by the moderation team on Xbox Live I am very cautious about these people and have since advised her not to reply to people who bother her in future, just block them, as I plan on doing the same.
