Minecraft 1.20.5 Snapshot 24W10A | 8 New Wolves & Custom Banners!

I've been playing this game long enough

to remember when wolves were added which

was like 13 years ago oh look at that it

was March 31st

2011 and this is what they looked like

before they were actually added into the

game today is surely an historic moment

in Minecraft history because after such

a long amount of time the wolves have

finally been given a Fresh coat of fur

hello everyone and welcome back to

another Minecraft update video for 1.20

20.5 this is Snapshot 24

w10a we are going to make a whole bunch

of new friends in this video today and

this is a great reason to be subscribed

to the channel cuz you know you don't

want to miss out on updates like this

it's what I do here on the channel

covering the snapshots and Minecraft

news so make sure to hit that subscribe

button thank you for taking the time to

do that now let's find out about the

eight new variants of wolves that are

being added in this update we are

starting with the snowy wolf a variant

that spawns in the Grove biome a rare

type that always walks alone and if you

need a reminder The Grove biome is this

mountainous snowy terrain that appears

on Minecraft's mountains I was yet to

find one of these roaming around on its

own I think that's what the article is

hinting at here that this is a wolf that

only spawns on its own as other ones

spawn in packs and all of the Wolves we

see today will have baby variance and be

table with bones and when looking into

the game's files I was reminded that the

eyes of the Wolves actually change when

you tame them here we go look at that

extra little pixels there this my

friends is the striped wolf a variant

that spawns in a new location for wolves

the wooded Badlands biome they spawn in

larger packs of between four and eight

Wolves at once and I think what we'll do

with each of these new wolves that we're

checking out for the first time is we'll

always be sure to tame one in this video

next is the spotted wolf this is a very

vibrant breed right here and it can be

found in the Savanah Plateau biome in

larger packs of 4 to8 and once again

we'll give the doggy a bone and tame

this fell right here here we have the

rusty wolf which can be found in the

sparse jungle biome this time in smaller

packs of 2 to four I must admit I think

these might be the cutest ones that I've

seen so far next up is the Chestnut wolf

this can be found in the old gr Spruce

tyaga biome this is actually a location

that wolves could spawn before but now

you'll find these ones in smaller packs

of 2 to four these are also adorable

which I think seems to be true of all of

the Wolves we've seen so far now we are

in the old Grove Pine tager which is

very similar to the last biome we were

in and this is where you can find the

black wolf again this is another

location where wolves used to spawn and

these ones are in smaller packs of two

to four let's see those cute eyes a

there they are then in our classic

Minecraft forest biome we have the woods

wolf a variant that spawns in the forest

biome this will be the dominant wolf

variant that you'll be able to find in

the Overworld since the forest biome is

very common let's go ahead and tame one

of these friends the last of our eight

new friends that we're going to meet

today is the Ashen wolf this variant

spawns in the snowy tyaga biome and the

website doesn't specify the pack size

that they spawn at anyway let's go ahead

and tame one of these they're just so

adorable now if we step outside of this

biome to the snowy Plains this is where

you'll see our original wolf hanging out

but as you know these no longer spawn in

the forest biome their new home is the

tyaga biome and they're now referred to

as the pale wolf a familiar wolf variant

that now spawns in the TGO biome with a

default pack size of four so with all

these changes for where wolves will now

spawn they're also able to spawn on coer

and podzol and in the Grove biome cows

will no longer spawn it's now just foxes

rabbits and wolves so we've been

introduced to these new wolf variants

but now we're going to take a closer

look at their textures and I was going

to do this by creating some no AI wolves

and going past them one by one but that

was a little slow and when editing this

video I actually found that renders of

them have been uploaded to the wiki

already so I figured I would show you

this and save you some time we're also

going to look at their texture files

this is the Ashen the black wolf

followed by Chestnut then we have the

rusty variant the snowy variant this one

is quite obviously spotted then we have

striped which reminds me of the husk and

lastly we have woods and those are the

Wolves now the the conversation

continues with you which one is your

favorite and do you like these new

variants be sure to discuss it down

below in the comments now we are not

done yet because this snapshot has more

awesome for the

1.2.5 update now these are technical

changes and they're mostly driven by the

new stack components format which is

driving a lot of changes under the hood

it affects many things and there's

actually a lot of reading to do if this

is your thing if you're into making data

packs resource packs custom stuff you

should definitely go and have a read of

this as there are a lot of changes the

first two things I'm going to show you

are possible thanks to Mis who sent me

this data pack to show off what we can

now do with the loom we can actually add

our own custom I was going to say like

crafting recipes I think Banner patterns

would be the correct term so if we

scroll down here you'll see look we got

our very own custom Banner pattern so

with a resource pack and a data pack it

is now possible to add your own into the

game I will make a prediction that the

Minecraft Community will go absolutely

wild with this and make lots of packs so

you can add more Banner designs to your

banners another amazing feature of this

snapshot is the ability to detect when a

player is holding an item in their

cursor like like this lifted up so we go

ahead and activate this clock and I try

and take some of these diamonds out all

I'm going to get is dirt although yeah I

can actually I can shift click them out

but you get the point right look at this

and here is the command if you want to

see it at this point here we specify the

diamonds and then later on in the

command we get to specify what to

replace with it another possibility

thanks to these changes is custom

crafting with what we used to call MBT

data being on the output of the crafting

recipe so for example let's say you

wanted the player to be able to craft a

sword but also use some other

ingredients to give it an enchantment or

additional information you could now

make a crafting recipe like this that is

a really powerful feature that map

makers have been wanting for a long time

and I don't know if this is coming in

the future but currently it doesn't

support having the additional

information on this side of the crafting

grid so the recipe wouldn't know if it's

looking for looting and Unbreaking let's

hope that that's coming in the future

I'll also mention this works with the

smithing table and the stone cutter and

it works for both shaped and shapeless

crafting and next we have a little bit

of Minecraft news that I'll be

relatively brief about this is for

preview 1.208 point2 which is bedrock

edition of the game and as it states

here coming soon hardcore mode you all

know what this is this is where if you

die in the game you lose your world and

yes it's coming to bedrock Edition in

the near future also from the Minecraft

website was an article about the glow

squid this had some strong suggestions

in it acknowledging that glow squid

don't actually produce light and then

going on to say that mang's top

physicist are currently investigating

how this can happen this my friends is

quite possibly a hint that some sort of

dynamic lighting might be coming to the

game and if they were to do this I

imagine they'd do it for both bedrock

and Java together so we might see

something like that in the future and

that my friends concludes my coverage of

this amazing snapshot I really think

this was an incredibly cool edition if

you enjoyed my video leave a like

subscribe to catch future snapshots and

I'll see you in a couple of days with an

episode of hermitcraft bye-bye
