Hey everyone, PixelRiffs here with something we actually kind of forgot to mention in this show.

There is an end-of-year discount happening over at our Patreon page right now.

So if you head over to patreon.com slash the spawn chunks to sign up to support the show,

you can get a bit of an end-of-year discount.

So you can save 20% on your first month on selected tiers anytime December 22nd through

the 31st of 2025. Just use the code chunk 25 when you check out and you have the option to

input the code and that'll get you 20% off your first period supporting the spawn chunks on

Patreon. Thank you so much. And now, on with the show.

Welcome to the Spawn Chunks, episode number 381 for Monday, December 22nd, 2025. This is a podcast

all about Minecraft, available across all major podcast platforms,

including a video version that goes out on YouTube and Spotify. If you're enjoying the show,

You get to listen live in the Discord and you get extra content every single week when you sign up at patreon.com slash the spawn chunks. You also get access to things like the monthly Minecraft

hangout and the quarterly hangout. And both of those end up being a little bit larger in the new

year. We have the first quarterly hangout in the new year will be a year review as well as a quarterly.

And then the monthly Minecraft hangout is actually going to be December and January because

we normally do these at the end of the

month. Christmas is at the end of the month. So we're going to kind of bump the December hangout into

January and have two months of our community talking about what they've been doing in Minecraft

and sharing with us on a bonus episode that happens in January. Yes. So the render distance

guaranteed to make you hungry in the meantime. But we're pre-recording
