Welcome to the spawn chunks episode number 98 for Monday July 20th,

2020. My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as always is my friend Johnny also known as

Pixel Riffs good day sir hello hello and if you enjoy hearing about fireworks not

hearing the fireworks themselves but hearing about them we just had a pretty long conversation in the pre-show, the render

distance, which you can get from Patreon.com slash the spawn chunks if you join our community

of patrons, where yeah, I feel like we're missing fireworks a little bit and not entirely certain if all the fireworks based events around here are gonna happen so I feel like some some Minecraft fireworks might be coming up in the near future but outside of that we are

We're feeling it a little bit we will see

Yeah, the the render distance can be found at patreon.com slash the spawn chunks.

And let's talk about what we've been up to in Minecraft this week.

I have been digging in the depths of the nether.

I have a new project that I've been working on.

And it's an exercise in eating my hat, which is not happening by the way.

Just I've seen a lot of people talking about how much they like.

Blackstone in some of the YouTube videos that I consume.

And I am confused by that because I do not hold the same opinion

as some of you may or may not have have realized

However on the citadel where we updated to 116 and we have trimmed the chunks. We have about a hundred blocks before you get to new chunks from the center of our nether hub.

So from the safety of the nether hub you can't just go mining for ancient debris right away because you're not going to find any because we don't that doesn't generate in existing chunks.

So it gave me an opportunity to build something and I thought well you know it would be really need to have like a nether right

you know something that's not made of nether right but it's like where you go to get ready to then go hunt for

ancient debris nether right blackstone whatever you're mining for in the nether at the bottom of the world.

And as it's supposed to be perhaps an ancient structure, so I've decided, I thought I'd try to use some of the new nether blocks to experiment with them, learn how to use them and stuff like that, including Blackstone.
