Welcome to the Spawn Chunks, episode number 370, recorded Monday, October 6th, 2025.

This is a podcast all about Minecraft, and it's recorded every Monday. You get video versions on

YouTube and Spotify and your favorite podcasting platforms for the audio. If you're enjoying the show,

please consider subscribing wherever you're listening. My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as

always is my friend Johnny. Welcome to the show, my friend. Hello. Yes, it's been a fun show already

actually. We've been talking in the render distance, the extended version of the podcast, about

patreon.com slash the spawn chunks. And we'd love to have more people join. It's our first episode of the month.

anywhere with this show. We are covering Minecraft for the foreseeable future. So an annual

Patreon membership is available if you want to take advantage of that. You can also take advantage of other patron events. We have monthly hangouts.

Speaking of the Copper Age, it has

arrived, and that's what we're talking about this week on the show. We're also going to turn

our spyglass towards the horizon, looking at the amounts of mayhem snapshots that may be coming

later on this month. So to kick things off, what have you been doing in Minecraft?
