Episode Details
==========
In this episode I mainly talk about the issues with the /r/Minecraft subreddit and the toxicity of the users there.
I also talk about how Bamboo is a huge game changer for Minecraft and what it means going forward.

Do we still need coal, is Kelp redundant, where is the balance now that we have automatic infinite fuel for our furnaces?

1. What do you think the reason Mojang will not give us concrete slabs or stairs.... or any kind of coloured variant?
2. Do you think Minecraft will become as popular as it was back then?
3. What new Minecraft feature would you like to see in the future?

In this episode I share a little about my family life as well as discussing my thoughts on the recent Update Aquatic feature on Minecraft Bedrock and JAVA Editions.

I also discuss some key differences between JAVA & Bedrock edition and then go on to talk about my thoughts so far on the upcoming Minecraft 1.14 Village and Pillage Update.

During the episode I explain why Bedrock Mob Spawners wont' work like JAVA Edition ones and how you can improve them.

In this episode, Foxy drinks Root Beer while discussing the first title update for Minecraft Legends. Slack talks about struggling with motivation for Truly Bedrock which leads to a discussion about the state of Minecraft and what needs to be done to save it.

Good Ideas Bin

Get rid of Portal Ticking Gold Farms
- Suggested by Slack and Foxy

Beacons have secondary potion effect
The top layer (9x9) block type determines the strength of the effect.
E.g. Iron = Haste I, Gold = Haste II, Diamond = Haste III, Netherite = Haste IV
The bottom layers determine horizontal range
Instead of the current icons in the beacon UI, we have two slots.
The first for an item that determines the beacon effect. For example a pickaxe in the slot would give haste.
The second for a potion bottle that gives the secondary potion effect. For example a night vision potion would give you night vision in the range of the beacon.
- Suggested by Slack and Foxy

Horizontal Stripe Pattern for Banners
- Suggested by Squirrelicious

Dye Shulker Boxes more colors by using the leather in a cauldron dying technique
Mix color of dyes and dip a shulker in to get that color.
- Suggested by T1nyRacoon and MeIsJohn

Get biome specific grass colors with silk touch
- Suggested by IrishViking

Boats go as fast in reverse as they do forwards
- Suggested by GAABTY

Combine the locate command with teleport 
So you don't have to type in two commands and remember the coordinates from the first.
- Suggested by Borenzo
