Welcome to the Spawn Chunks, episode number 49 for Monday, July 22nd, 2019. My name is Johnny and joining me as always is the internet's favorite son

Joel Duggan. Hey Joel, how are you?

I have melted. I am now Joel the puddle. You'll have to listen to the render distance to find out why.

Yes, yes. But yes, I'm here and I'm excited because it's Monday, it's Spanchunks day and boy do we have a lot of talk about we do we really do let's start off by talking about what's new in our

Minecraft lives I suspect this will probably tie into the news a little bit because we have at long last a

Minecraft 114.4 release. So have you had a chance to get into it and does it make you throw up?

You stole my punchline. No, I'm sorry. I did not barf all weekend. So yay. No, I had cleared it actually with my server mates on Friday because at that point Friday morning for me, I had not received

Sunday and I thought, okay, what a perfect day to be inside, relaxing, maybe even stream all day. It didn't end up happening quite that way,

but I wanted to update to at least pre-release 7, if not 14-4 before the weekend, because I had tried

pre-release 7 on my own, and some of the game-breaking bugs for me as a Mac Java player had been

fixed and I was quite happy with that.

So I ended up playing on my own this weekend.

I had to have the AC on in the studio, which means that it was just too loud to stream.

But I did a bunch of testing, really, because I didn't, it's funny, and you might be able to comment to this because when I stream now and a lot of what I do is when I stream I'm recording videos for YouTube as well

I don't really do a lot of content in the world on my own like Like I don't necessarily just log into Minecraft and build.

If I want to log into Minecraft and play for an hour and a half

before I go to bed or just kind of relax on a Saturday afternoon,

I do grindy stuff.

Like I do, I look at my shulker boxes and go,

oh crap, I'm out of sand, or I need more gravel,
