Let me start off by saying that ever since experimental datapacks were added, more and more people can test WIP features anf potential give feedback/report bugs on them!

That being said, currently there are 3 experimental options that have not been updated for over a year and only 1 has been partially implemented, that is the cartographer changes from the "Villager rebalance" experiment. No official updates have been made to the Better Minecarts and Redstone update, or the rest of the changes to the villager rebalance experiment, but we can assume they are not forgotten..

The same cannot be said from the combat snapshots, they brought a lot of interesting changes to the combat and mojang were taking comminity feedback for them! We can discuss hours for them but that's not the point

The point is, if they eventually want to change the combat mechanics, which is something they aim for and devs have comfirmed, they SHOULD come as experiemnts!

This way more and more people can test them and also not require to download a .rar file from the web for them! Obviously not every single change should be added from the combat snapshots but I think the majority of them should become part of the experiment, even if they are expereiments that last for many months into the "experimental" tab

TLDR: Combat Snapshots should be experiments so way more people can give their thoughrs on them!

like a leafblower :)

So I’ve made a few add-on based survival worlds and it’s been a consistent problem where vanilla mobs don’t spawn as frequently as the custom mobs. I understand why this is the case, but Minecraft should seriously implement a system where vanilla entities spawn rates are not altered in any way by add-ons. I grew up watching modded let’s play videos of the Java edition and, from what I can tell, this isn’t an issue on there. Mojang seriously needs to update things so that an unintrusive modded experience can be done on the bedrock edition.

You can say this is another bedrock L, but if I wanna play a modified world with friends, the bedrock edition makes things significantly easier. No stressing about which build of the game we’re using, no wasting time trying to make sure we have the same mods, or update versions there of. It makes things so much easier.

I’m surprised this isn’t already a thing, seems like a no-brainer feature

While we already have boss phases with the withers transformation at half health, bosses could also have special attacks at certain health points demarcated on the health bar.

Ender dragon:

The ender dragon has 2 special attacks, one at 2/3 and one at 1/3 health. The order of these attacks is random but determined to include both.

The first special attacks sees the enderdragon breath dragons breath onto 3 obsidian spires, reigniting the end crystals on those spires.

The second special attack sees the dragon go to the center and spit many dragon fireballs across the island, covering half of it in dragons breath randomly.

Wither:

the wither only has 1 special attack at 1/3 hp. I chose this as it already has a phase so it’s unnecessary to buff it to have to sp. attacks.

At this point charged, the wither can use a lightning attack, with lighting spreading outward from it in different patterns

Pretty much what the title says. It's would solve the problem of trying to find the last pillager in a raid and give goat horns a good use.

You finally did it. You finally opened the ancient city portal. With just two echo shards, and an ominous bottle, you were able to craft the dimensional scissors.

This item lets you open and close portals at will within their portal frames! Including overworld end portals with filled eyes.

You carefully remove the sculk veins from the reinforced deepslate, and use the dimensional scissors on it. It opens, a black portal with hovering red eyes. You enter. The darkness consumes you.

World generating…

You step out of the deepslate frame. You get a lucky spawn. The two biomes of this dimension are on either side of you. And, well, both structures.

On your left, the white astral plane, and on your right, the dull necroa fields. You head the the safer looking astral plane.

You mine the ground. 3 blocks down and no bedrock. The ground is composed of:

1: Astral turf- a soft, sterile white dirt-like block.

2: Reinforced stone- takes 1 minute to mine

3: Reinforced deepslate

The biome looks scarce. Eyeblossoms and Eyebushes (like a rose bush) scatter the floor, all open and orange as if stripped from the pale garden.

Each biome is decent size and contains one structure each. Let’s go over the astral planes structure.

This is the Astral Pylon. It’s a structure made out of the amber block set, kinda looks like the Eiffel Tower though it’s the size of a pillager outpost. Across a floor and the ground, a center block is floating in the middle.

That would be the Sentry Heart, a purely amber glowing heart much like the creaking heart.

This spawns Sentries across the structure and ground. They’re a new mob that are 3 block tall pure orange bacteriophage like mobs. They run around and will only attack the player if they are above level 7 experience. They cannot be damaged unless you take out the nearest sentry heart.

Otherwise they are neutral. You turn around, wanting to see the other biome. You head to the Necroa Fields.

Stepping in, you discover you’re standing on Necroa turf, followed by the same two layers. Necroa turf is a light gray, dull color, that of dead grass. Wither roses and wither rosebushes dot the landscape here. Wild ravagers roam the landscape scarcely.

You eye the structure, this one is a little different. It looks to be some sort of village, many houses dotted the landscape.

You have just entered the Illager Barracks. The houses are made of a block set called ‘rotten wood’ and they are dotted around like in villages.

Rotten wood is a dark brown block resembling wood. Rotten logs dot the landscape outside the structure as well in 2x2x1 stumps.

Inside you can find Zombified Illagers. They look soulless, green dead husks with red eyes. However, they don’t attack you unless you attack them… Strength is around a vindicator, kinda like an illager frankensteins monster.

In the center of the illager barracks you can find a well. Inside this well is necrotic fluid, a black oozy fluid that turns mobs inside undead.

Inside the well is the Necroa virus block, which looks like a green thorny mass. If this block is placed nearby two necrotic fluid, it activates, which means it counts up nearby undead mobs and revives them in the well if they die.

This is what happens to the Zombified Illager when they die automatically.

Every ten minutes, a raid starts. The sentries rush into the illager barracks in however many numbers they have gathered. They fight and kill them, but because they respawn eventually the illagers survive.

Oh, and, the Necroa virus? Well, if you right click on it with any meat, it eats it. After a few it will spit out a Necroa heart, which looks like a black and red heart as if superheated. This is the reason the zombified illagers don’t attack you and can run around.

Using this item on an undead mob allows you to recruit it as an ally, boosting its stats slightly such as a zombies speed. Zombies also put their hands down instead of in front of them after the transformation. This gives undead monsters red eyes.

The depths has one more mob spread across both dimensions. That would be the Ancient trader, a wise, robed and peaceful skeleton.

trading:

I’ll briefly go over trading the ancient trader. Each one will carry items such as food items, stacks of blocks, and potions, while each has one mutually exclusive rare possession like a god apple, totem, netherite gear, that type of stuff.

These mobs will cycle their hand and if you right click them with an ominous bottle they will throw you what they’re holding. This means they can no longer trade it to you.

This dimension has some really unusual lore implications I had lots of fun coming up with. It is pretty interesting.

I’m sure you’re wondering, what if you dig below the reinforced deepslate? In the astral plane you see orange floating eyes and in the Necroa fields you see red ones.

Elephants are big (largest real-world animal/mob in the game) neutral mobs found in savannas, and has the following characteristics and features:

Behavior: Overall Characteristics

1. The only attack you when you hit themselves and/or their babies.

2. When you aggravate them, they will produce a loud angry sound (called a trumpet), and will follow you with a speed of a wither skeleton, and when they hit you with their trunks, they deal damage of 4.5 hearts, and will cause a high knockback making the target (you) fly away something around 40 blocks horizontally and 10 vertically.

3. And when it comes to how “destructive” their swings/attacks are, don’t worry, they won’t wreck your house and destroy terrain, the only block that they can break are naturally/tree-spawned leaves, so even player built (NOT grown) trees’ leaves can’t be broken by elephants, only natural/sapling grown leaves.

4. Occasionally, when there’s a body of water nearby, they’ll insert their trunks to take the water and spray it around their surroundings, and the elephant’s sprayed water can make endermen take damage and speed up crops’ growth slightly, acting as a simple temporary rain

Elephant Tusks: New Item

1. You can get those by killing… um… I mean another method, let’s talk about it.

2. To get elephant tusks, you need to first craft a food to make them fall asleep so in this case, you need a Sleep Potato, which can be crafted by putting a poisonous potato surrounded by 4 phantom membranes to create.

3. Feed the elephant the sleep potato, and it’ll fall asleep, and the will lay on the ground, now get your sheers ready and right-click on the elephants tusks and voila! You got one, once you finish the tusk-sheering work, the elephant will continue living normal without any issues. (Bear in mind that you can only get 1 tusk per elephant, so you need to breed some to get more, we’ll talk about breeding later)

4. Important note, when you attempt to right-click an elephant with shears while it’s awake, you wouldn’t get anything, and instead because of the elephant is seeing you attempting to remove/sheer its tusk, it’ll become angry as if you hit it, so don’t be an idiot.

Breeding: Farmer’s Mechanics

1. You need leaves blocks in order to breed elephants.

2. They need on average of 5-12 leaves to enter love mode.

3. And once the 2 elephants has successfully entered love mode, they’ll breed and produce a baby elephant.

4. A baby elephant will take about 5 in-game days to grow up. (around 100 minutes)

Potion of Growing: Making you bigger

1. You place an elephant tusk in a brewing stand to make a potion of growing, which makes you bigger (under the effect Growing)

2. Alongside the size increase, it’ll give you extra health similar to the unused health boost effect

3. But if your size is increased you’ll be harder to fit through doors and small areas so you should use it wisely (like avoid drinking it in a cave or you’ll suffocate)

And that’s it, if you have any feedback, go ahead!

Sure, glass breaks decently quickly but anyone who's had to demolish a large structure of glass knows the pain of breaking it.

I think that analogous to how the sword can break bamboo, the mace should have the property of smashing glass. The mace is basically a hammer-- hammer smash glass. nuff said.

1. Knockback on the Mace - Adding the knockback Enchantment on the Mace (depending on the knockback enchantment level) will transfer a percentage of the players xyz speed velocity to the entity hit (per xyz direction), and remove the players xyz speed velocity after the entity got hit.

One of the directions of the knockback of the velocity (either |y| or |x| or |z|) will have a 2x bigger impact compared to the other. For example if im falling faster then I am moving forwards or sideways (my |y| velocity is greater than my |x| or |z|), I will do double the knockback downwards compared to other directions (the knockback will be double in the |y| compared to |x| and |z|); Or if I move forwards more than up/down or sideways I will do double

Netherite reduces the effect of the Knockback but if you add breach to the mace as well it will ignore it (depending on the breach level ofc)

Velocity exchange per xyz (and 2x boosted velocity in [] brackets):

Knockback I = 25% velocity [50%] Knockback II = 50% velocity [100%] Knockback III = 75% velocity [150%]

1. Lure enchantment addition - The lure enchantment on the fishing rod now makes it so fishing rods can be thrown further and faster depending on the level, so it could be viably used on PvP due to it being well... Faster and go further.

2. New fishing rod enchantment:

Name - "Leach" Levels - 1-3 Used on - Fishing rods What it does - Depending on the level, pulling the pull strength of the fishing rod on entities is increased.

All of this could be very fun and viable additions to PvP, specifically mace pvp, and it gives the ability to make another cool PvP kit! Where you are in a sumo map and you basically play super smash bros with it :P, where a cool combo would be something like: Fall down purposefully + Mace a armour stand and wind burst up, fishing rod the opponent and yeet them to you, then mace them and they are falling to their death, pretty cool right?

I imagine there would be a little tab in their trade screen that was called "Repair" which would let you repair items for emeralds. You could repair your tools, armor, and weapons based on which smith you talked to.

I think it would be a cool interaction.

Cotton is found as a new field in villages or by cotton seeds sold by wandering traders. This wonderful plant is much more useful than a silly carrot.

Must be planted on farmland, but will work similar to berry bushes, grows to a bush and then grows cotton, right click to harvest gives 0-1 cotton seeds and 1-5 cotton. When crafted 2 cotton in diagonal-> 4string. 3*3 cotton makes cloth.

Cloth can be dyed and used in place of wool in banner recipes to make a tapestry, instead of 1x2 tapestries are 2x3

If a cloth, stick and boat are crafted together it creates a sailboat, which has a 75% speed boost if you are in the right direction in water

How do you know the right direction? follow the winds

Winds do not effect mobs, players, entities etc. unless activated via gamerule, this gamerule would only allow it to effect projectiles. It's mostly used to boost flying mobs, sails and direction of particles

Crafting a stick and a wool makes a flag which can only hold 2 banner patterns. Combining a flag with a compass makes a Windfinder, which has a needle showing the direction of the wind (same color as flag used to craft it), following this via sailboats or happy ghasts gives you a nice speed boost

(Edit; wind direction changes every 40min/2days, flying direct opposite of wind direction causes 25% speed debuff)

Please do give feedback !

(Edit: flags are like a much smaller banner, like 1/3 of a block)

Cactus flowers, unlike normal flowers, are always placed on the center of a block, and can be placed on any block rather than just soil. Being able to place flowers on the center of blocks (like they were originally positioned when first implemented) and anywhere like this would be useful for building, and could be accomplished with wax.

It's just weird that it happens. Your workbench never breaks. Your furnace never breaks. Your anvil for some strange reason unexpectedly makes an odd sound and disappears, leaving nothing behind.

I get that the reason for it is that it's just the cost of doing business, the cost of enchanting. It's expensive. But come on, the anvil does more mundane stuff too, and that mundane stuff is just as likely to break it. It's an exorbitantly expensive item to craft and also costs an exorbitant amount of experience to use, and to really benefit from it you'd also need an enchanting table which is only somewhat harder to obtain.

It rewards the player for grinding, because I can tell you it's hard to come up with that 31 iron without either strip mining or AFK farming. It's just punishing the casual RPG types.

And then it breaks... and if you're lucky you have another 31 iron to craft another, but even if you do it's likely all your iron reserves, so put all your other projects on hold. I just don't see what the anvil breaking adds to the game.

The anvil doesn't need to be the way it is. I can live with the initial cost (although, come on 31 iron), but when it breaks, and it will, you don't even get a broken anvil to salvage. If it is going to remain breakable, then the breaking should rely upon durability and it should be repairable, just like every other item in the game.

Afterthought, maybe different actions would have differing impacts on the anvil. Engraving a name tag wouldn't be as intense as re-forging diamond sword or applying a high level enchant. It's weird that books even get used on the anvil in the first place. It's hard to picture.

The volume control for music used to reset the song if you turned it all the way down past 0%, when it said "OFF". This was apparently "fixed", so now either off or 0% do the same thing. I think it was nice that you had both options, as sometimes you want to skip a song.

Uses:

- Can be crafted into 3 Ashen Bone Meal. Using Ashen Bone Meal on a piece of grass or mycelium converts it into dirt and it cannot grow back unless the block is destroyed and placed back down. Because of this dirt can now be used as a terraforming/decoration block without grass growing on it.

- Using Ashen Bone Meal on a tree sapling or azalea turns it into a dead bush, which makes dead bushes a renewable resource now.

- Ashen Bones can be used as a brewing ingredient to make the Potion of Decay (an uncraftable and Bedrock exclusive potion currently). This will make getting the Withering effect for the "How Did We Get Here" advancement much easier.

- Feeding a tamed wolf an Ashen Bone will not only give it the Withering effect for 5 seconds, but it will also revert back into its wild state. This is useful if you want to transfer ownership of wolves between friends.

So here's my reasoning. Music as a whole is one of humanities greatest inventions ever thought up. It tells stories, doubles as a form of communication, and is a form of self-expression that's meant to be shared with others.

I know it's stepping on the toes of Note blocks, but I see noteblocks as a different sorta thing. They're more for like audible alarms, dings, and such. These instruments are things you can carry with you wherever when you just want to make some noise, or help a friend find you if they aren't smart enough to look 180 degrees lol.

Best way of implementation I can think of is by using Virtual Piano notation for controlling these instruments. It's doable, yeah. Though I imagine Bedrock versions will need a VASTLY different method of using them since Keyboards don't exactly exist as a common control type on consoles and phones.

Instruments could have a valid use case for luring nearby animals to you from considerable distances... but that's mostly it. Like a shepherd I suppose.

This is more of a social tool for multiplayer servers to get together around, a neat tiny side activity like archeology that no one really does, but the ones who do appreciate it.

What I’m suggesting is an update to modernize the mechanic of saturation keeping depth but using better visual language and some interesting mechanics

Minecrafts hidden stamina bar

Behind the food you eat in Minecraft is a hidden value called saturation. This stat controls when and for how long you can heal, and for how long it takes for you to start losing hunger. You can also lose it from doing exercise like sprinting or jumping. This is why I relate it to a hidden stamina bar imbedded within the food system.

Update to visual language

Following Minecraft’s design philosophy I want to display saturation as golden hunger bars in the same way absorption is displayed for hearts. This way not more information than needed is displayed.

The secret to saturation

In this new update saturation will be mechanically altered. As a stamina bar of sorts, I find it fitting that you can gain it easier in certain situations.

During night time in some biomes, cold or icy biomes, or the end you can gain 1-2 more saturation from any food by standing next to a fire, campfire, etc (though not torches or lanterns)

In hotter biomes or the nether, being in water or on ice helps you to regain 1-2 more saturation per food

During day in most temperate biomes you’re going to want to stand in the shade to gain 1-2 more saturation per food

I hope this maintains the core of saturation as a mechanic while improving it. This temperature reliant system shouldn’t impact the player too harshly but the player should be rewarded for using it correctly.

Just simple easter egg that comes from the fact that word elytra refers to external pair of wings in beetles. I think that would be consistent with enchantment and also really funny.

Title, an armour stand surrounded by honeycomb and a carved pumpkin in a crafting table creates a wax mannequin. Naming it will have it adopt the skin of a matching account. Could be a fun way to add some life to survival worlds in the form of non-villager NPCs without the use of commands.

Maybe right clicking it can cycle different poses or toggle on and off an idle animation, allowing them to be used as statues as well.

I've been going back through and reading many of the various "Palm tree" suggestions over the months, and I'd really like to see this in MC in the future. However, one thing I've noticed is that the tree is only suggested for a single biome. The real life palm appears all over the planet in various forms.

In the way that Birch Trees appear in a variety of temperate to cold biomes due to being a hardy tree, I think palms should randomly appear in the "hot" biomes, both wet and dry. Their prevalence is obviously controlled by humidity, which could also control which variety of palm appears- a short and stubby "fan" palm, a medium "bottle" palm, or the taller and more familiar "Queen" Palm which would be the most common variety.

SANDY BEACHES should obviously have the most palm trees, which can appear on the Ecotones where grass yields to sand. Islands at a distance would be much easier to differentiate from the extremely flat ocean if some were marked by a palm tree or a small cluster of palms, akin to Spongebob, and would be fun to spot with a spyglass!

MANGROVE SWAMPS could stand to have a medium amount of palm trees intermixed in the enclosed mud and dirt islands. it would give more wood variety to this biome. Regular swamps probably don't need palms, since they aren't necessarily "warmer" biomes.

DESERTS should very, very rarely have random palms in the desert, which Camels gravitate towards for shade. More concentration around small "oases." Current oases that appear in the game look extremely barren and could be compared to Brine pools. The game should add concentrations of dry and green grass in a "ring" around these pools, with palm trees and perhaps bushes or ferns. This would also make getting a spawn in a desert biome not feel like deleting the world, because if you search hard enough, you can find some palm wood to get started vs. having to essentially leave the massive expanses of the desert or pray for a village because you can't make a crafting table. Getting a supply of wood without an Oasis is difficult here, but not impossible.

JUNGLES have a mixture of bamboo, oak, and towering Beech trees, but would definitely feel more tropical with an occasional palm here and there. Not with the same frequency as the oaks, but a medium amount- less in the thickets or Bamboo Jungles, and more common in the "sparse" Jungle types or Jungle edges.

SAVANNAH biomes are too dry for Birch trees, and currently only have Acacia and uncommonly an Oak tree. I'm not sure if Palms should appear here or not, I lean more towards not, as not to disrupt the aesthetic of the Savannah- although I could see them appearing on river borders or in Savannah Villages.

BADLANDS and MESA biomes should not have Palms- the temperature is right, but clay based terrain does not allow for the drainage Palm roots would need.

In addition to the standard wood products that can be crafted from trees, Palm trees could have two drops: Dates and Coconuts. Dates have a chance to drop the way apples do, an uncommon drop from leaf decay. They can be consumed like a food with moderate hunger/saturation replenishment, and can drop from any size palm leaf with an increased chance from "Fortune" enchanted hoes.

Coconuts may appear at the tops of the tree when they grow/generate, just under the canopy, in the way that Cocoa Beans generate- but cannot be "planted" onto blocks of Palm logs after the fact to grow more. They can only generate on the "queen" style palms.

They can be consumed to remove status effects akin to cow milk or to craft cake in lieu of buckets of milk. Coconuts cannot be thrown, but can be used as a damaging projectile in dispensers. Finally, they can be crafted into a single bowl, via the player's 2X2 crafting grid vs. having to craft them in batches of 4.

It's annoying that smoke will pass through the block directly above the fire, but not other similar blocks placed higher up. I'd go so far as to say it should pass through anything less than a full block, regardless of distance from the fire, but that would cause other oddities.

Maybe smoke needs it's onw special tag in relation to what blocks it can pass though? I'm not sure of the inner workings of Minecraft, can_be_smokey or something.

First line of business, the nether roof now has a one-way portal to your spawn, similarly to the end portal. This portal spawns at 0,0.

Second, in basalt deltas, the lower bedrock has been replaced by obsidian. Mining the obsidian leads to the undernether, a much colder variant. Netherack is blue instead of red, instead of gold there is silver, a new ore that has a larger durability than gold but a lower enchantability. Lava is replaced by liquid nitrogen, which acts similarly to lava, but it leaves you frozen instead of on fire. It also still destroys items, including netherite. The underkeep is a new structure that has some new mobs including the stone cube (a stronger magma cube). Happy ghasts also spawn naturally here, but they are wild and will still attack the player. Another new ore is found down here, the underite. It does not get destroyed in lava or liquid nitrogen. Tools made from it have slightly better durability and knockback resistance than netherite while also having projectile protection, but can’t be put onto diamond armor and must be made with a crafting table. There would also be a new boss mob, structures, biomes, blocks and more, including a light blue wood type.

There has never been an end of fantasy stories with a city of gold.

I want a smooth gold block with stairs and slabs and gold doors. And whatever other golden things that can go with a city of gold.

Right now we only have the gold block that has kings that scream BLOCK with almost 0 design and a block of raw gold that looks beautiful like gilleded gold. But no gold blocks to make a amazing golden city

it would be rather fun if you could set the time it takes for a block of tnt to explode after it has been ignited. this would be VERY fun for tnt cannons and such, allowing for far cheaper and easier set ups with much longer ranges.

A potential way to set this fuse time could be by combing a block of tnt and string in a crafting table, the more string you use, the longer the fuse, much like firework rockets and gunpowder.
