In this episode, DuDs and Jimbo discuss snapshot 21w40a for Minecraft 1.18, Caves & Cliffs, which includes a range of world generation tweaks and more changes to mob spawning. Plus, we ran a poll on Spotify to find out what our listeners think Minecraft 1.19 will be and the response didn't surprise us, but we have to disagree. We also asked 'What's your favourite thing about Minecraft Dungeons?' and got some good responses from The Labseor and Blackhole Nerd. Also, DuDs and Jimbo discuss their 'gimme' prediction for Minecraft Live, predictions for what the theme could be for Minecraft 1.19, and a 'where did that come from?' wildcard prediction.

Episode 177: Lava-Level Minecraft Opinions

In this episode, DuDs and Carl discuss Pre-Release 1 and 2 of Minecraft 1.20.3 which makes technical changes to the game and allows wind from the Breeze to break Decorated Pots, Chorus Flowers, and Pointed Dripstone blocks upon collision. Plus, We have two listener comments, the first is from Jronman, they ask what our thoughts are on the alternative Furnaces (Smoker and Blast Furnace). The second is from JesseW, asking if we think the upcoming Dog Armor will be dyeable, enchantable, and maybe even support Armour Trims. Also, DuDs and Carl talk about replacing infinity with quivers, and we think we have figured out the formula Mojang uses to make Minecraft updates.
