My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as always is my friend Johnny, but you may know him better as pixel riffs on the interwebs. Hello, yes, we've been talking a little bit in the render distance. That's the extended version of the show all about going to the cinema and seeing movies old and new that's something joel and i have been

Coming up this week on the show, we will be hearing from our listeners in an email heavy episode

for the Chunkmail dispenser for May, as well as new music and new ways to play with your

friends in the Minecraft snapshot. But first, as always, and new ways to play with your friends in the

Minecraft snapshot. But first, as always, it's time to talk about what's new in our Minecraft

lives. And why don't you kick us off, Joel? What's new from the Citadel? So I spent the week

working on the final decisions inside the landing bay. It is not 100% complete, but I definitely

don't feel bad wandering around

taking screenshots. Everything feels at least like a complete thought at this point. I feel like I

want to add more details, but right now it is at a good spot to kind of move on and move on to

other places in the command center because otherwise I feel like this place just won't get done.

I changed a lot of the vents and the lights and the walls to all be consistent. So I went with kind of a purple terracotta inside as well as purple lights.

There's a lot of gold happening with the elevators in the room.

So I felt like the yellow lights in the walls was just a little bit too much. So I went with purple. And then I included the elevators up to the fifth floor, I guess, for the control room for what will be the sensor array. And I did a rough pass on that. Again, it's just elevators, some quartz. It's not a finished room at all. It doesn't have a roof on it yet.

So it's just kind of like to get that structure there.

I like to do this where if I'm not sure about something, I'll rough it in.
