That's interesting, thanks! Now that I know they only spawn in bastions, I can appreciate it. I suppose the idea is that you should not explore a bastion until you've got very strong gear, as is the case with the underwater structures.
I'd imagine they likely reloaded just to make the biomes easier to access - generation would probably be fine but walking 10,000 blocks to find a soulsand delta would probably suck. Wondering if we'll get a nether waste reset along with 1.16 - the last nether update (where quartz was added) had no reset which saw the creation of a pay-for-access rail line called the Quartz Express that took you out to new chunks where quartz would spawn. Can't see that happening now, though.
EMC plans on resetting the Wastelands Nether. The Frontier Nether will not be reset. I anticipate some sick images of chunk border issues in the Frontier Nether after EMC launches 1.16! (Similar to how this has happened in previous versions of Minecraft. )
No: 1. You cannot update data for chunks that do not yet exist. 2. The Frontier is massive. Compared to the wastelands (which extend out thousands of blocks), the Frontier extends out millions of blocks. The amount of effort, and time, to convert every chunk, not to mention preserving structures, would be tremendous. --- Also, you run into the "Does the community really need this?" question. More importantly, you run into the "Does the community they really want this?" question. Even then, it'd take too long, of which would present more points of failure than to simply let things be left alone when EMC updates. tl;dr, Essentially, it won't happen. -------------------------------------------- However... that makes the trek out into the Frontier Nether even more exciting! You have to go out a long distance to see the new chunks, which would prove to you that you have more endurance than others to go and do it!! (The only exception to that is if there are any chunks close to an outpost that have not been explored yet. Very unlikely, but not impossible.)
Doesn't the dark red indicate unexplored chunks? I am sorry for posting off-topic in this thread. However, considering that everyone besides me seems to not mind doing so, and that I would like to be able to participate in the discussion, and deem it unlikely that I will be able to move it into Community Discussion without any complications, I am posting here anyway.
Assuming you are talking about the burgundy color. That is the boundary between 1.15 chunks and pre-1.15 chunks. That color on the OUTSIDE of the 5000 block circle is unexplored chunks.
Looks like 1.16.2 has nerfed piglin bartering, will be interested to see how exactly this changes bartering farms
agreed, these are some pretty harsh changes, I don't think it is nearly as big of a deal as it was before.
ran some tests on bartering value here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14IBlxOLIgX_wwPm-SJ_nkwEo1IQLULJM3OvkzU4RgQQ/edit?usp=sharing TLDR: 1.16.2 is still ok but half as good as it was in 1.16. (450% value to 225%) Feel free to make a copy and change the item values if you think the numbers i used are off
Glowstone and Magma Cream are no longer bartered? That's a bit of a shame. If I happen to spawn far away from a Nether Fortress, that would have surely been helpful. I'm a bit disappointed that they removed that in 1.16.2.
Agreed! Maybe an even bigger chance than 1.7. Although... much more time is spent in the overworld than in the nether, so it might not be as influential.
Who doesn't want a material better than diamond? I haven't heard this. You need the diamond tools and armor to be able to create the netherite versions anyway.
