Weekly Wolf

#2



So, right into the content.
To start us off today, we've got some new and interesting news directly from Mojang:

Minecraft 1.20


The Weekly Wolf #2
The new Camel mob announced in Minecraft Live

So, it appears we're getting some new snapshots, and along with that comes some news straight out of Minecraft Live:
Developers Agnes Larsson, Chi Wong, and Nir Vaknin took the stage to show off the camel mob, hanging signs, chiseled bookshelves, crafting with bamboo, and bamboo rafts: five new features that are included in the next Minecraft update!
"Now, the team didn't reveal their full plan or final name for the upcoming update, Minecraft 1.20, right away as we have in previous years, as not to have players wanting additions that they might not add.

A bit more bout the additions:
Camel: Pretty much a slow, 2-person horse, most likely can have chests attached to it
Chiseled Bookshelf: A dynamic bookshelf that you can add and remove books from, and can be used with redstone
Hanging signs: Signs hanging from a post, can be crafted with all variations of planks, except probably Bamboo
Bamboo Planks: New blocks crafted directly from bamboo, with stairs, fences, slabs, and all the other good things you can craft with normal planks
Bamboo raft: A boat made from bamboo

You can access snapshots for Java Edition by enabling them in the “Installations” tab in the launcher, and you can find the instructions for joining betas for Bedrock Edition here. If you haven’t played with snapshots or betas before, keep your eyes on our channels, because I predict that we will be discussing the hows and whens of this process a lot!"


INTRODUCING NEW DEFAULT SKINS

The Weekly Wolf #2
From Left to Right: Sunny, Kai, Makena, Steve, Alex, Zuri, Efe, Ari, and Noor

Meet Alex and Steve’s new friends!


"In the beginning, there was Steve.

Then Alex came along.

Now, almost ten years later, we have Noor, Sunny, Ari, Zuri, Makena, Kai, and Efe!



The Minecraft gameplay team had another surprise up their collective sleeves – seven new default skins! Makena, Efe, Noor, Kai, Ari, Sunny, and Zuri will be joining Alex and Steve in the Minecraft Launcher and Dressing Room. Whether you play with default skins, make your own, or change it up depending on your mood – now you have more options to choose from!

Eagle-eyed viewers will recognize Sunny, Efe, and Noor from The Wild Update trailers. Just like Steve and Alex, these skins will help us shape our storytelling, just as they can help you with yours. The new default skins will be available in Minecraft later this year!"
And to me, that's great! Finally, different possible skins that aren't as bland (no offense) as Steve and Alex. But anyway, onto


MINECRAFT LEGENDS

The Weekly Wolf #2
"Minecraft Legends, the latest game to join our blocky roster, was announced earlier this year and we got a first look behind the scenes! Our own Magnus Nedfors, Kevin Grace, Telemachus Stavropoulus, and Anna Wendelin alongside Blackbird Interactive’s Lee McKinnon Pedersen and Peter Gahn took us on a deep dive about what it means to be a legend of the Overwold, as well as a 4 player co-op live demo that showed off the lush landscapes and piglin-packed gameplay. And as if that wasn’t enough, they showed off the rampage cinematic that sets the entire game in motion!

Jens Bergensten was kind enough to give us a tour of the Legends Overworld, where he introduced us to some of his old friends! And as a special treat, we not only got to meet but also hear the first speaking mobs, the three hosts: Knowledge, Action, and Foresight. And did you see those regal tigers?! I need to secure my spot as the Premiere Cat Lady of Legends as soon as it launches.

Speaking of the Minecraft Legends launch date – another exciting announcement from the team was, well... the launch date! I hope you’re ready to take on the piglins to save the Overworld, because it’s confirmed that Minecraft Legends will be coming to a platform near you in Spring 2023! "

Now, for a break from the exciting news, we have another special guest! Everyone welcome... CrownDeluxe!
Never mind, it appears that I'd have to look around in my interviews folder and find it, so I'm now gonna interview Winters_Bane

Q1. To get started : What is your favorite month of the year?
A1. Uh, December because I like Christmas decorations.
Yes! Decorating for Christmas is always the best!


Q2. How did you first find PMC?
A2. Lookin for a website to make skins.
Same for me! Skindex was just too annoying but here I have landed!

Q3. What were the first things you did when you first joined?
A3. I guess I made some friends. Shout out to AxolotlArmy, TheCrypteral, and ShadowOnTheLoose.
Friends are always great!

Q4. Is there anyone that really helped you in the beginning?
A4. The people I mentioned above.

Q5. Who is your biggest supporter as of now?
A5. Definitely ShadowOnTheLoose.

Q6. On a scale of 1-10, how good is the Community side of PMC?
A6. It varies from member to member so it's hard to put an overall number, Id say a 7 tho.
I'd say the same, mainly bc everyone on this site are different and it depends where you look.

Q7. On a scale of 1-10, how good is the Minecraft side of PMC?
A 7. Definitely 10.
I mean, it is a site meant for minecraft, so it makes sense.

Q8. On a scale of 1-10, how popular do you think you are on the Community side of PMC?
A8. Depends on who you ask :) with certain people I'd be a 9 or 10. And then there are people that block me. I'd be a 1 with them I guess.
I'd at least say you're a general 8 or so.

Q9. On a scale of 1-10, how good do you think you are at Minecraft?
A9. That depends on what aspect you mean. Building, fighting mobs, pvp, speed running, mini games, etc... Im best at building with an 8, fighting mobs has a 7, pvp has a 2, speed running has a 1, and mini games has a 6.
Wait, what about redstone?

Q10. How often do you actually play Minecraft?
A10. Every day.
It's literally decades of fun for around $25!

A11. Ooh, I like looking at skins, but i use datapacks the most.

Makes sense, if candy corn is the best, then running out of it is the worst

16. Is there anything you would personally add to PMC for when Spooktober happens each year? Why?
16. I've only been a member for less than one year. I'm thinking of making a halloween costume for my skin, like the armor layer or something.
Well, that's somewhat an answer, but not really related to the question.

17. Who is your favorite member to talk to on PMC? (This has nothing to do with the quality of the person, just who you talk to the most)
17. I talk to ShadowOnTheLoose the most I think. Could be GracieMockingjay tho.

21. I would make it where you could drag and drop images into wall posts and such instead of a link.
Absolutely! That would be great!

22. What is your favorite corner of PMC?
22. Not sure what you mean by this. I would say I like the chat or PMCSkin3d if that's what you mean.

23. Ooh, my favorite non-original skin and my favorite original skin.

Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

25. Either GracieMockingjay, or ShadowOnTheLoose.
Definitely. Both of them are great and pretty influential!

26. Who do you think has become the most involved on the community side of PMC?
26. I'm pretty involved.
I'd agree.

:o That means there still are some nicknames lol

37. What clique would you be in, if any?
37. Weird people.

38. What do you think your inevitable PMC fall will be from?

*Curiosity peaks*

Thanks for all these answers Winters_Bane



MINECRAFT DUNGEONS


Laura De Llorens, Vu Bui, JP Johansson, and Kelsey Howard gave us a recap of all the features that have been added to Minecraft Dungeons over the past two and half years. Time sure flies by when you’re having fun, climbing a tower, and fighting for survival!

They also looked into the future and revealed lots of exciting stuff coming soon. Like the seasonally spooky Halloween content that is coming this month! It’s so spooky, that the Hungriest Horror Armor set and the free Cloaked Armor Set will be haunting Minecraft Marketplace. Plus, they announced the Minecraft Dungeons Heroes Skin Pack, the first skin pack cross-over between these two worlds! Now you can follow my example, dress up as Hal in Minecraft and live every day like it’s Halloween.

We also got a first-hand look at the new multiplayer mode for the Tower and a peek at Season 3: Fauna Faire! On October 19, a whole slew of new flairs, pets, skins, emotes, and free content is coming to Minecraft Dungeons, including the Phantom Familiar. It is only fitting that this terrifying pet was announced at Minecraft Live, the same event where the first phantom was voted into Minecraft. We need to move on to the next segment before I start thinking about it swooping over me and I go hide under my bed...

MINECRAFT MARKETPLACE


A bunch of exciting DLC titles and other additions are coming to Minecraft Marketplace! The caped crusader is taking a break from his usual haunts to save the Overworld in the Batman DLC brought to you by DC and Noxcrew. As you explore iconic locations like the Batcave, Wayne Tower, and the Monarch Theater, you will face off against the Penguin, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn, to name but a few villains itching for a fight. Every hero needs help, so you’re going to have to swoop in and possibly even outshine the Dark Knight in your free character creator set!

"When you’re not brooding and batting through the sky, you can bundle up for the Frozen Planet II DLC! This five-part adventure from the Minecraft: Education Edition team in collaboration with BBC Earth will launch in tandem with the much-anticipated BBC series of the same name. You can play as creatures such as a walrus, polar bear, eagle, and more, as you make your way through frozen biomes and across snow-covered peaks. "

All five of the Frozen Planet maps and the Batman DLC were released 2 days ago, so go check them out(Only available on the Bedrock edition of minecraft)!

MINECRAFT CREATOR TOOLS


"A wise, bespectacled man once mused that even though we could do something, does that mean we should? I don’t remember how that turned out, so I am assuming everything turned out well and no dinosaurs went on any rampages. And speaking of amazing creatures, now you can make your very own ones with the Minecraft Entity Wizard in Blockbench!

All you need to do is dream up a mob, any mob. Even one that isn’t so much from a dream than it is a nightmare. Then, build it! Or if you want to leave it all to chance, you can recklessly randomize one. You can end up just about anything, including a mash-up of a dolphin that thinks it’s a phantom, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. "

And to wrap it all off:

THE MOB VOTE WINNER


This year, the sniffer, the tuff golem, and the rascal faced off in a real nail-biter of a race! The mob vote moved to the Minecraft Launcher, Minecraft.net, and a special Bedrock Edition carnival server. Over 3.5 million votes were cast, thank you all for joining in and making this impossible choice for us!

The community has spoken and your winner is –

"The extinct mob adorably known as the sniffer will join Minecraft after receiving just over half the vote! Explore underwater ruins to find its eggs hidden away in chests, bring them up to the surface, and hatch your very own baby sniffer. When the sniffer grows up, it will help you find ancient seeds that you can grow into different decorative plants. Since the sniffer was once extinct, you are able help it thrive in the Overworld both by hatching its eggs and through breeding. And once more, the sniff-balance has been restored with your new victor’s cuteness countering the warden’s terrifying tell-tale sniff! "

That brings us to the end of this year’s Minecraft Live! Be on the lookout for more spooky and spectacular happenings over on minecraft.net, and make sure to stay tuned for more info on the latest happenings!
Stay spooky, and I'm out.
