Posted Oct 3, 2020Looking really nice! New mechanics brings life to the game and makes me want to play again.
I wonder how will the sound detecting mechanics works. I mean, will the warden try to hunt bats? It would be cool to see him trying to hunt down flying animals. And would sand or gravel slides attract them with it's noise? So many questions and it's getting me pumped up!
Tho i have to admit i'm a little worried about the copper utility. How will it be used in the game in addition to those uses showed on the live stream?

Posted Oct 3, 2020My thoughts:
I really like the Warden. The visual design is terrifying, and it really fits with the biome. When it runs at the player it just seems too fast for its bulk and size and that really makes it look super unnerving and cool. Looking forward to puzzles using that.
The copper looks great, it looks like copper. The addition of that helps me out with one of my own works, too! I wonder what it's used for...
Axolotls look adorable too! I like that they hunt and can be pets. We did need a water companion animal, come to think of it.
However, I really, really don't like the archaeology and brush. It does not fit Minecraft at all. Not a fan.
I'm happy that Ravagers are coming to Minecraft Dungeons, people were looking forward to that.

Posted Oct 4, 2020And your point? I think Geodes, Telescopes and especially Goats look like a hella lotta fun. It will be interesting to see how 'ornery' goats are set to be, but if done right they could prove to be the passive mob equivalent to creepers.

Posted Oct 15, 2020A reskinned squid? Since when do we need that? I would have taken any original mob over that.
Warden is awesome though, a mob that you aren't really supposed to fight is great for variety, and for making the world scarier.
Archeology sounds like it has the potential to be awesome (just look at the Fossils and Archaeology mod, or Orespawn) but somehow I doubt vanilla mincraft will make much use of it at all.
