1.14 (and holiday) update news!

[ABParadigm]

New features following minecon earth!

We will be experiencing a holiday update, between 1.13 and 1.14. This will include features like panda mobs, new cat skins, bamboo, and a scaffolding block. It was revealed the bamboo would be used to make the scaffolding, and the pandas would eat the bamboo, both the pandas and bamboo would be found in jungle biomes.

Additionally we received news for 1.14! This update will be the "village and pillage" update and focus on a rework of villages, and villagers! The villages' architecture will be updated, as well as brand new trades and skins for the villagers. This will also include a new mob called pillagers, as well as a beast they ride in on, that was revealed as a very difficult mob. This update also features a crossbow, that features an AOE hit feature and a firework shooting feature. The crossbows will be craftable, and feature their own enchants! Last but not least, we learned the taiga, featuring berry bushes, foxes, and campfires were voted in by the community and will also be coming!

This begs the question, with so many different content coming in the forseeable future, what features are you most excited for? I'm a fan of the crossbow, and seeing what the updated villagers will offer!

I'm interested to see how bamboo scoffolding actually works. I wonder if it can be dismantled quickly, I think it will improve building large structures which is good for Blutopia.

Still disappointed there's no word on more slabs and stairs but maybe they'll announce that later? One can hope

Mmm the new terrain additions in 1.14 and 1.15 it might be a reason to wait expanding lvs's border till at-least 1.14 instead of the planned 1.13 border expansion.

I believe the scaffolding cannot be supported in mid-air. If you break the bottom block of scaffolding, all connected scaffolding above it breaks along with it.

I may opt to not expand the border, and instead rely on regenerating chunks within the border using my chunk regeneration script I am working on. See discussion of progress here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2918#p11423

Well for as much as minecraft in our servers is relatively peaceful, im actually most excited about the pillager attacks, they will add a lot of the exact type of action that I only daydreamed of thus far.
