I Coded a Minecraft Update in 7 Days

In just 7

days

I'm going to code the final final

update

, transforming it from a Barren Wasteland into a thriving ecosystem of alien biomes with terrifying new creatures. After all, it's been 8 years since Mojang

update

d the finale and I'm tired of waiting so long. This is the game plan. I'm going to keep this update as simple as possible by using publicly available tracks to code and update like Mojang would do. The most important thing is that I don't want to go crazy and add something ridiculous that Mojang would never add to Minecraft. The lower 1.16 update is the gold standard for Minecraft updates and after a few episodes I want my final update to be a similar size.

The best part is that you can download this update from my patreon right now, it's the first day and I spent the morning googling trying it. for inspiration, remember Minecraft dungeons, well, Mojang has this biome called the wild end, it's a dry, crunchy looking yellow grass. I thought I would start small by adding it to the game and immediately ran into a major problem. I made

minecraft

updates before using data packs, which is like modding, only easier and with some really strange limitations, like not being able to add custom blocks in a block game, the only solution is to let go of my vast knowledge about data packs and learning how to mod Minecraft on the fly.

After all, how difficult could it be? Okay, pretty difficult, so I looked for guidance from a Sensei and that's when I found Policeman Joo, he literally taught GPT chat how to make Minecraft mods. No chance, wait, he used my video for this, yeah, this. Boy, it's the real deal, today we embark on our study of Minecraft modding. I purchased Cop and Joe's Minecraft Modding Course for 50 Clams and had my project set up in no time. Now I can write my code here. Press this little green arrow and it starts. a new instance of Minecraft with my mod installed again, the only reason I'm doing this is because I thought it would be easier to create custom blocks with modding and yes, it's super easy, you make your texture write a little bit of java code. and your block appears in the game.

It can be accessed through the creative menu. It has a hitbox, but best of all, it's a real block with all the performance benefits that come with it, so I use my new superpower to add additional endstone variants, which helps a little. but after reviewing 100 Endstone builds, I came to the conclusion that Endstone is ugly, except when people use it with Dark Prismarine, which is unnecessarily expensive and hard to get for no reason. You have to kill at least two Guardians and a squid for a single block, can you imagine making a house with this? The cost of blood is unthinkable and mud is an environmentally conscious alternative that is also easy to obtain.

Finally, a new dark turquoise block, you're welcome. I made a brick and a packaged variant as usual. mud and I think they turned out pretty good, it gives me Terraria dungeon vibes. The first day was a good start and I went to bed feeling so confident that I felt ready to tackle even more advanced blocks. It is the morning of the second day and while I was eating. I had breakfast and watched another police and Joe tutorial. I heard this on the net and then in Minecraft and then here you have all the classes available so for example in Block there are all kinds of block classes hey you know what I really want to know how IM magma. block It works at all, don't worry, let's m magma block bam, there you have what I didn't know.

I could make this change everything with my years of Java experience. I can see how the game works by reverse engineering almost everything I need to and with one sentence, my Sensei opens my mind to the secrets of the Matrix, so I took the red pill and put the tutorials on speed 2. I couldn't get enough, I skipped like 60 of the lectures, just show me the good stuff, talking to Joe. show me how deep the rabbit hole goes, as you can see I added a bunch of new blocks, in fact if I stack them all up and jump, yes there are a lot of them here so I'll just show you some of the highlights like this I made custom grass. and bioluminescent vegetation, one called chorus roots that do nothing but glow slightly and the other called end spores that emit these small particles.

You can use them to create sports torches or spore lanterns. I also added a new full cube light block which I think looks really Well, when I combined it with Perer, I added slabs and stairs and even a new type of wood called choir wood. Okay, great, but are these blocks really good? I decided to put them to the test by giving them to my friend Shovel 241, who is a professional Minecraft builder. Did you even do this? Yes, the blocks are fine. Plus, I'm 100% adding what he created to the game because you guys are going to love it.

I went to bed that night feeling almost unstoppable, but I knew that tomorrow would be my biggest challenge. Day three and I think I'm ready to code my first custom mob. Honestly, I'm pretty scared because there are like a million steps and a single mistake could take hours to fix, so I tried not to think about it and instead focused on copying. the Blast Ling skin from Minecraft dungeons basically the Blast Ling is a buff Enderman that shoots magenta fireballs, he's sick, it's a good place to start, or so I thought because when I went to add the fire, I noticed that the entities modified can only have one active texture.

In a silly moment, I can have a bunch of textures active when I make data packs. I'm sure there is a way, but I have to be smart about prioritizing my time and since the Llamas are just aesthetic, I can't really afford that. I have to spend hours on this, especially when I still need to configure the animations and each of their timings, configure the AI ​​and define a list of priorities and even create a list of attributes for the explosion. Ling speed. What is a good speed? I don't know, 5 hours later maybe, oh god, I had a rough start and it just went downhill from there, so you know how Ender's eyes glow a little good.

I want the purple parts of my burst glow to do pretty much the same thing. so I looked at Enderman's code, found this render feature layer, found a reference to a texture, looked through the game files, and found that Ender's eyes were too easy. I thought smugly prematurely. I tried so hard to replicate what Mojang did and with each attempt my game crashed over and over like a car crash compilation on YouTube. I felt like I could do literally anything at the beginning of today, but I felt honored. My training is just beginning and I need to accept that some things are simply beyond me. my power level I can't afford to spend more than a day doing this mob.

I couldn't even figure out how to get the fire texture or glow effect to work, so making the Ling explosion fire projectiles was out of the question for me. To keep it simple, we can save this, but we need to pivot. This type is now called the final group. A fiercely territorial mafia that finds itself at the end. Wilds. Why are his arms purple? If he doesn't shoot fire when hitting Enderman with his fists, it's the end. now an ecosystem with a pecking order Dragon end brute Enderman endermites games like Monster Hunter do this well the world doesn't revolve around the player continues with or without you guys are buying this I really hope you're buying this so I

coded

a melee attack custom body because that's the best I could do.

I'm sorry if you can believe it. I had originally planned to add three mobs today and it's okay, I added like 75% of a mob with some questionable animations, maybe my huus got the Best from me, maybe I shouldn't have skipped 60% of my sensei's lectures . Needless to say, my confidence was shaken, but the tests that awaited me on day four would completely shatter it. Terra Blender, the real final boss of this challenge, wants to add a custom. biome to Minecraft apparently Mojang made it very difficult and that's why Terror Blender exists, it's something developers can use to make adding biomes to Minecraft easier when I went to add my custom biome I was paralyzed in horror.

Overworld, where the end is, unlike before, there is no pivot. Around this, we need to get Teror Blender working or there is no way we can update the ending. Surely there must be some kind of error. Little did I know that Terra Blender was about to derail my entire training arc and I was in full panic mode. I searched on Google but didn't find anything. I never realized how spoiled I was making packages. If you get stuck, you can Google literally anything, no matter the niche, and there's always a post on Reddit with a helpful commenter telling you exactly what you need to do Minecraft commands.

The community is huge, the Minecraft mod developer community is fragmented and much smaller from what I can see. Well, I'm a 4-day modder. I need to be spoon-fed like a baby because I don't know what I'm doing and I'm scared. I found Terra Blender GitHub, it had a Wiki which was completely useless. I clicked on the Problems tab out of desperation. Surely someone else has encountered this problem with ALB before and then I found it as a ray of hope, a light in the darkness, a poster hinted that the End Dimension biome support was added for Minecraft 1 120.4 in Terra Blender.

How did he realize that? I have no idea, but I choose to believe him because I literally have no other choice. Unfortunately, I was still on Minecraft 1.2.2 at the time because I hate re-downloading all my mods. I took a shortcut and instead did a bunch of extra work for myself, so I tried updating my mod and it had some unintended consequences, but luckily I was able to fix it and my mod was completely updated. The averted Terror blender still doesn't work, oh god, I thought I was safe, but my hopes and dreams were. The Terror was mixed with a failed smoothie and flushed down the toilet.

I don't like asking for help, but I'm out of options. so I turned to Teror Blender support on Discord and asked if there was any guide, example or documentation on how to do this. Everyone ignored me for the first time in my Minecraft career. I was completely alone, my Sensei couldn't help me or Teror Blender. more secretive than the Illuminati I copied the exact version on their GitHub for Minecraft 1.2.4 and without dice it was like I was missing the classes I needed to update in the end I put the pieces together and there must be a teror blender version that Glitch Fiend stays hidden to the public, but who is Glitch Fiend and what are they hiding well.

Turns out it's a shadowy group of developers plotting against me. I did some research and found out that they are the same people who made Biomes O Plenty. their version 1.2.4 has final biomes including a final Wilds, well it's awkward to look at their code, they also use teror blender, so I found their Gradle properties and their jackpot teror blender version 3.3.9, you can't hide from me, Ed. that version rebuilt my project and yes, I couldn't believe my eyes, it worked, it's fine, it's very ugly. I jumped a little to celebrate, but it was a bittersweet moment, sure my sensei's teachings were working and I felt my power level hurt. to unimaginable heights, but I wasted an entire day on something that should have taken 10 minutes at most and after all that work I somehow made the final dimension even worse.

I'm so tired, but the timeline is in shambles and I need to move on. I have the BR finale to spawn and there are definitely too many of them but we'll fix that later, I covered some trees and forgot to make leaves so I used a random block as a placeholder and to put it mildly they need some work. I tried to fix my weird trees and lengthened them. I wanted to move on, but I was making mistakes I normally wouldn't make, so I decided to go to bed. It's day five and, frankly, this final update has been a disaster.

To reverse this, it needs to happen right now, let's start with small step one: setting the grass to spawn. Built-in function. Function setting function. Yes, I'm in way over my head. I dug into the game code and found the vegetation patch configuration function. I don't know, maybe it sounds like something, but I wanted a million parameters and I just couldn't figure out what to pass to it to make it happy. I got all but one log entry, what the hell does that mean and why would it be weed? worrying about such matters was making me angry and I needed some Solitude, a place to be alone with my thoughts, so I returned to the Terra blender support in Discord.

I am a 336 Monon baby and I demand to be spoon fed. I looked at a bunch of Minecraft modding discords and found onewhich seemed active and that's when I met this random guy who was on his own

minecraft

modding training arc and was having trouble making trees oh my god I just realized that for myself so I told him. him, what I did to make my trees successful. I'm glad you got it working. Have you ever gotten brass to generate? I helped you now you help me NES I swear to God, I swear to God if you leave me the missing link I made the change NE suggested and oh, we're in business, baby, come on.

I did the impossible. I connected with another human being in the Minecraft modding community and through the wisdom of my Sensei and the power of friendship, no, we will prevail. You don't know until L after Nees helped me adding grass by adding end spores, stack blocks, end mud discs and more varied terrain was easy, Nees and I went our separate ways and as I continued working on my end upgrade he did a borrowed copy with attitude I love these guys, they're so cute, you know, something tells me we're going to be okay. I made some custom leaves and decided to make them bushy.

I know I said I wouldn't go crazy and add something crazy that Mojang would never add, but I think the ending is supposed to be this weird Alien Dimension. It's a blank slate for Mojang to maybe bend the Minecraft rules a little, but then I realized that the rules exist for a reason, the bits that extend outside the normal block. The range turned black, it was a weird rendering issue and I'm not sure how to fix it so I tried making the leaves glow and it looked too radioactive for my taste so I turned it down a bit and now I think it looks awesome talking about bend the rules.

I went a little astray with my wooden choir button, unlike the normal buttons you can. Press this one very quickly, but more importantly, the Corewood buttons now emit a single tick pulse when pressed. If you're a redster, you'll immediately know it's a big deal. This is not a Redstone video, but basically in some cases you can save a lot. of space I don't know if Mojang would add this, but if they did I don't think it would hurt anything, so I think I can justify including this. I wanted to play with different types of trees, so I added these Mega Trees and randomly.

It started raining uh clearly I'm playing with forces I don't fully understand and it's having some unintended consequences it doesn't stop what the hell the game just ended up taking orders from me apparently I make a mod and like a bitter Minecraft ex-girlfriend Commands are the most stingy as possible. I couldn't decide which type of tree I liked best, so I thought, "Ah, screw it." I'll add both. I knew I wanted to add a thick layer of final mud to the bottom of the finish. wilds and got it working, no problem, oh god, oh no, what have I done?

There has been a gross N genocide right under my nose. Millions are dead and it's all my fault. I closed Minecraft not being able to face what I did and went to bed, it's day six and overall I feel much better with our progress. Now we just need to add some structures. I loaded up a super flat world and spent like 5 hours building it. I mainly added a bunch of simple structures to make the ending feel less empty. First I built these little treasure platforms that could have a loot shulker box or an enemy shulker box, then I made some of these little pillars that I'll spawn all around the end and under the tallest one is a hidden chest.

I find myself distracted as I walk through the current ending because there's just nothing to look at, nothing to do, these are basically mini-games to stimulate neural firing, remember when I said you can make a sick temple design. with these new endstone blocks apparently they don't apply to me, so I decided to scrap this one because it wasn't that inspired and you're in the trash, but I like this Ruined Temple design. I want the ending to feel like it has a story. and little points of interest like this make a big difference. I made a small advanced tower for the units and I want any builds I make for them to have the same kind of style.

I copied and pasted the structure and made a castle layout complete with a huge pile of endite inside, you'll be handsomely rewarded if you can grade it, but good luck, you guys are probably like, excuse me, Ender, right? Well, a long time ago I made a small mod that added a new ore level to the game. called endite, which is like neite, only better in every way. Well, I cheated and copied and pasted all that code into this project. There are also treasure chests everywhere and how I love you for watching my video for so long.

I'm going to put an additional hidden chest in this back room at the top left of the castle. It's a secret, don't tell anyone in my opinion. It's really strange that we don't have anything underground to explore. In the end, we should definitely do it. I have caves, but I don't have enough time to learn how to make them right now, so instead I'm going to create a procedurally generated sewer-themed dungeon. I put those rooms together in about 2 hours and spent another hour setting everything up and making sure. that everything worked as expected, so now at the end in Wilds you will find these little holes with little dungeons at the bottom with endermite spawners and some extra loot for the player.

It's day seven and I have big plans now that I'm done with my builds. I'm going to set up shovel builds to spawn at the end. Working with shovel gave me a peek into the mind of a professional Minecraft builder. He would show you the replay, but I think it got corrupted, but believe me, this man is working hard. he starts by creating copy and paste resources and eventually it turns into this final huge brute castle. You can see that he also does the same thing with these temples here, so I set all of his buildings to appear in the world and they take This final upgrade to the next level imagine walking to the end and seeing this Behemoth on the horizon.

If you overcome the dangers that await you, you will be rewarded with treasure beyond your wildest dreams, but again, good luck, I also decided to completely change path. that n bruts spawn, so walking through N Wilds before with brut endings everywhere was extremely stressful, so now the Emer will only spawn around your structures, like raiders, yes this is much better, also added three temple designs that turned out one beautiful with a quaint and almost cozy interior, one with a more open concept and another that is larger and more complex, has glass at the ends and this small area at the top.

I like it here because I feel like I shouldn't be here, ladies. and gentlemen, we have done it, we added a new biome that respects Mojang's original Vision. Have I gone Super Saiyan? No, but I have some hair on my upper lip and I'm proud of how far we've come even on my extremely short modification. career I just learned a lot about the game Minecraft it's so beautiful and it's surreal to be able to look at clay or a tree or something and just know how it all works. My goal when I started this channel was to inspire others to create their own Minecraft. creations and I hope this shows that literally anyone can do this you will never quote unquote you will know how to code so don't let that stop you just learn the absolute foundation and then you can jump into a project even if you don't. feel smart you will get stuck you will get frustrated but eventually you will get over it as long as you never give up if you want to make a minecraft mod knowing some coding basics will help you a lot that's why I love the sponsor of today's video .

Brilliant courses make complex topics like coding fun and accessible. I wish I had been brilliant when I first learned to code because it would have made my life so much easier, there are courses in mathematical physics data analysis and much more, whether you're wanting to learn something completely new or hone an existing skill. shiny has a course for you. My favorite part about shiny is that it turns learning into a habit and gives you short lessons that you can do even if you only have a few minutes. Learn new skills as an investment in yourself and with Shiny's hands-on learning approach, it's never been easier to try everything Shiny has to offer for free for a full 30
