15 - 1.12

It's already been a week exactly since Minecraft 1.12 came out, but I need something to write about. I'm behind on writing current events for sure. So last week, Minecraft 1.12 came out, in case you didn't know. I think it's actually one of the biggest updates that's happened in a while. Most people care about the fact that it added parrots, a new hostile mob, and colorful new clay blocks. That's cool and all, but adding new stuff it's what interests me. 1.12 is a really good update because it makes the game easier to play.

First and foremost, 1.12 added in the "recipe book" feature. This teaches you how to craft anything in the game in a step by step manner as you earn new ingredients for crafting. I already know how to craft everything, but I love this feature because it can be used to auto-fill your crafting menu to craft even faster! This helps with items like bows, which can be confusing to craft and take forever to get right. Nasty diagonal patterns.

Another feature they added, and probably one of my favorites, is that when you're crafting and close the inventory before pulling your items off the table, you don't drop the items anymore! I thought this was really funny when I found out about it, because my older brother's least favorite part about Minecraft is what you throw everything on the ground when you stop crafting. He has always thought it was ridicules, and apparently a lot of other people have too, because Mojang (Microsoft) actually patched it! Issue is, they didn't patch this for villager trading. Still drop your stuff on the ground if you don't pull it out of the villager trading menu. I don't know if they meant to fix this, but it sure seems like it! Fixing this would make my villager farms and Eggwars and even Bedwars easier to play... no more throwing stuff on the ground! Mojang pls. Get on it.

Anyway, I'm overall satisfied with the 1.12 update. As far as cosmetics go, wool is now way more brightly colored, it's pretty intense. Like, color intense. Here's a diagram from the wiki.

Such bright colors. I like the orange, yellow, and blue updates especially. They're so much more intense! And with that, insert a good conclusion here! Yeah... no idea.
