The MAJOR Problem with Minecraft's 1.20 Update

One thing I want to touch on is gold farms which a lot have mentioned in the comments. In my opinion I don’t see that as an issue to my solution, as setting up a gold farm would be about as difficult, if not more so, as finding a bastion in a single player world. I did like the idea from the comments that each piglin would only ever be able to trade one template though, so I would add that to my solution!

I was thinking that Mojang would add in a new final boss. But the Ender Dragon and the Wither would be main bosses so you would get their drops to activate the Ancient City Portal. The Elytra and The Nether Star would be Main game ingredients to activate the Ancient City Portal in special item frames to fight the final boss of Minecraft. The Void Dimension would be activated and located underneath the Overworld, and go through a maze of caves fighting monsters with special armor from an ore mined out in the End. Herobrine would’ve been the final boss of Minecraft and have multiple stages that would get harder. Golden Apples would be more stronger in that dimension, and Mojang could probably do that. Make the Final Boss, the hardest.

easy solution to this would be to completely get rid of chests in every single generated structure and replace them with the new vault blocks which has independent rewards for every player who visits them.

I thing the netherite upgrade trims are a bad way, it makes the process much to hard for new players.
Even finding lots of netherite made some people on my server complaining "this is to hard", what I can fully understand.

I would keep netherite upgrades like it is, and simpli add the optional amour trims for cosmetics

They should make Nether Star armour lol like in that one mod
It's roughly 3 times stronger than diamond (isn't netherite only like +1 from diamond)

You can also use nether star blocks for beacons with level 3 boosts: night vision, regeneration 2 (maybe op but like you're using like 200 nether stars, plus the one for the beacon) or water breathing.

The tools are also 3x stronger than diamond, so people could still actually take damage
So, how do you craft it?
You go to the End and find a new kind of gemstone, idk give names in the replies if anyone gives a s**t
This gemstone's armour is already pretty good, around the same durability/damage as iron and the tools go about as fast as gold
Then you have to get a Nether Star upgrade from a new End structure, aswell as a Nether Star Block. (9 nether stars, can be reduced to 4 if it's too expensive. then again, java wither farms are ez)
The way you upgrade the end armour is basically the same with netherite - nether star block, nether star upgrade, end armour/tool and there you go - nether star armour.
It also temporarily gives you Absorption from time to time, so it can be more worth it

i think you should get template by killing wither you know like final boss in nether so you get netherite template

The research required to play the game is insane 🤪

i can't believe someone would defend armour trims costing more than literally almost every armour piece outside of netherite to duplicate, it's mental something cosmetic you slap on armour should be locked behind hours of strip mining when we don't have a cosmetic armour slot built in and it will degrade all the same, especially when you don't have keep inventory. literally what the fuck is the point of armour trims outside of servers where you just run around in a hub you built and only log in to hang out in game or something. it also makes using trims on any armour type below diamond a massive waste. it should be like banner duplication so you can just characterize the way you look without having to get to the late game stage first

It is so hard to find a unlooted bastion in any big Minecraft server

I'd personally say remove the template from chests. Add a new nether only boss which you summon in a similar style to the wither that drops a template at a max drop of 1 like a nether star (cant use looting). Unsure what % drop to make it, but make it a decent challenge to kill so it feels rewarding to get. Keep the ability to dupe it, so you can either farm the boss or craft more. means its always available just need some mob drops (new item from endermen maybe? or a new mob entirely?) and requires some amount of work to obtain rather than just running around hunting bastions.

making you go to a more specific section of the grocery store to get milk isn't harder.
just like making you go to a specific place to get a upgrade isn't harder. bastions are just BAD and when you have diamond tools you can just mine around EVERYTHING that is potentially hard.
no no, you're wrong, the trim duping IS too expensive. it could take 30 minutes to get diamonds sometimes, or find a vein, and i don't want to spend that time, hoping for a 6 vein so my fortune 3 pick can make it so that i can get potentially the correct amount
plus spend the time to even FIND the netherite, just for the sake of someone out there who thinks wasting peoples time is difficulty to say "its harder now."
its not harder. it is too expensive. i mean, even look at the quality of the upgrade, you're spending all that time for a boost of 500 duribility on tools.
like, you're dumb if you think thats value in any way. its not even rewarding. from iron to diamond it jumps like 1000 duribility points up. and that is MUCH quicker to do. no enchants even.
plus giving diamonds more uses doesn't WORK if the use for that thing just isn't as valuable as the time it takes to GET that material.

Use chunkbase for any structures,my world was made in 2018 and I've used chunkbase to find new structures,if you're on java just go to the nether roof and walk to the bastion,if you're on bedrock,get elytra and fly there

The upgrade for netherite should only be enabled for singleplayer worlds.

Every update villagers break. I havent played since 1.19 and now everytime i spend a day away from my main village, all the villagers double in number and wont stay assigned to a job or triple up in the beds. Mojang sucks and their devs are morons.

I don't subscribe to ungrateful garbage who show their subscribers statistics showing more watch time from non-subscribed people then subscribed

Your piglin bartering idea is not well thought out. All it will encourage is more piglin battering farms, negating any difficulty in getting the template. smh.

No. It actually WAS really hard to get full netherite before. It doesn't seem that way if you're a 10-year player, but from scratch it is crazy hard. Also,why don't we need a better armor set? We keep getting harder mobs, yeah? Harder mobs are great because veteran players can have more to do, so why doesn't that apply to a better armor set? Frankly, they never should have done this. Keep it the same to get netherite, but if they want a more challenging set to get for vets a NEW set is perfect! If mj stop catering to new players, there won't be a game for anyone

even though I have full netherite with silenced trim I think they should remove the netherite template. I think they should leave silenced trim un touched though

Instead of making the trims be something you can barter for, just make a difficult crafting recipe. For example, make it so the piglins have a 25% chance to drop a upgrade base when you trade netherite ingots or something that includes gold, like notch apples. then if you combine one netherite with an upgrade base, it’ll turn into a netherite upgrade. On top of that, you can make it so that if you combine an upgrade base with a diamond, you can upgrade iron armor to diamond, but you get to keep the enchantments. Same applies to all other kinds of armor (excluding the turtle helmet).

I really dislike piglins dropping the template. I already hate that the game has just become villager trading, which is already a boring gameplay mechanic. This is exactly like villager trading in that you just spam replace the villager's workstation until they have items you want, which is horrible game design in my opinion. I think templates should be guaranteed loot in bastions, but I think they're fine other than that. Multiplayer already has to deal with the ender dragon, so I don't think it's much to ask to deal with templates when they're much more easy to obtain. You could also say the same about elytra, which I'd argue is even harder to get.

Thankfully villager trading will be at least a bit less annoying in this upcoming 1.21 update, but I still dislike the whole trading system as it currently is. I also dislike the enchanting system, but that's a whole other issue that's much bigger.

Edit:
Villager update is good, but they need to add villages to all biomes that have villagers. Having to transport villagers shouldn't be required as I don't count that as a "normal" gameplay mechanic, at least until they had a proper way to move villagers like with llamas or camels (I saw a mod for that and I feel like that should be a vanilla feature).

I wish it had a rare chance of spawning in nether fortresses for me, idc how hard they'd make it to me at least, this encourages more risky exploration for me

guy is just bitching about things added to game for 11 minutes, not really about anything in particular, doesn't describe some systemic issue with the game, don't bother watching, he just faffs around about nothing

i'd make it have a low chance with bartering, but only if you use a gold block and are wearing gold armor.

id say to fix the issue with the template, add a boss you can summon to fight it. like maby a boss that can only be summond in the nether, as we have no nether bosses. the wither can be spawned anywhere.

i feel the netherite upgrade requirement is a problem. i mean i like they made it harder and give atual reason to atualy find a treasure room bastion but the problem i feelis on multi playyer, a player or a group of players can zap out all the netherite upgrade slab. and then they have a monopoly, or simply use them all so NONE can have netherite armor.

IM SO PISSED THAT THEY MADE IT DIFFICULT TO GET NETHERITE.

Too difficult to obtain way easier to get diamond armor and weapons from traders don't even bother with netherite

Why does he sound like Ben Shapiro

Diamonds aren't hard to find so long as you know what coordinates to dig at and start strip mining like the RDA.

ere... Netherite didn't have to be harder to get, namely cause you have to find 4 netherite chunks then get 4 gold for one ingot meaning for full netherite armor you need 16 netherite chunks, for sword, ax, pickaxe and shovel that is another 16 netherite chunks.

If one wanted more armor that was harder to get.. .why not use the end and generate dragonite ore or something? Something you only get in the end game and will need a lot of to make full stuff. Emerald gear would just be getting the right villager to farm. And probalby why they hesitate on making such.

Dragonite ore would be a spawn rate like emeralds in the end... think of how hard it would be to get full dragonite gear with that spawn rate and no easy spawn method... the only other addition would be bigger end island to make the dig that much harder.

My best guess on how to fix the template issue is by implementing 4 solutions. Keep in mind that within all of these the bastion would have a much higher chance to have the template and would always be the highest chance.
1. Have it be an item that can spawn on end city ships. By the time players kill the dragon its likely they'd be getting ready for some netherite but not much. The template having a small chance to spawn on the boat only allows for a small but feasible chance to find it. Equally the elytra would allow for any player with their wings to easily search dozens of ships to find one.
2. Add them as an incredibly rare spawn in nether fortresses to keep with the nether theme.
3. Be apart of a secret room within woodland mansions. Along with the diamond block room it would be one of the rarest secret rooms in one of the rarest structures.
4. I would personally see no issue with adding an entirely new structure designed around this item. A rare dungeon structure with lots of enemies and even more intense, it's a non mine-able structure. This would have a garunteed spawn and could possibly even have a respawning boss to drop it. While this gives a renewable and garunted fix it would have to be extremely difficult leaving players with 2 options. Hunt for one in the easier and safer bastions, or fight tooth and nail to get a garunteed one.

They only added Trims to encourage and in the case of netherite, force, people to visit structures... NO ONE WAS VISITING those structures anymore
And I HATE Bastions, especially after Piglin Brute...

It's not harder i think by alot, but more annoying and time consuming than it already was. Same with the planned villager trading 'update'. Villagers are annoying to breed, transport, train and select the right trades etc. With the new update, trades will need to be made in all kinds of different biomes. This is just beyond ridiculous, having to fly elytra to all four corners and back to get things together.

Honestly I think my main issue is finding the bastions and apparently them not guaranteeing a netherite template. In a game that can be played by many people, there should be a minimum of 3 guaranteed templates per bastion with some sort of reliable way of finding the bastion, i think having a treasure map thing that would lead to a bastion would be cool. Piglins can trade them to you for gold (which fits thematically) and maybe the maps can spawn in nether fortress chests as an added way of getting them.

Okay I play on a server and people with upgrade templates never use the last one. If you play with psycos that might be an issue but for me if all the bastions are looted I can just buy one from my friend (I currently have one in my echest and will always duplicate before using). Public servers could be bad tho.

lol i have gone thousands of blocks just get the upgrade templet

this is going to screw over players who do challenges like superflat survival, skyblock and one chunk

i think there should be something like suspicious soul sand or netherrack you could find the templates in

Idk for me the netherite upgrade is more annoying than difficult.

to be fair is easy to make enough templates for a full set given how they increased the diamond spawn rate, the fact i can get a full stack of diamonds in under an hour by just running through caves will a normal pick is dumb
its unnecessary but its easy to do

also netherite is not hard if you mining with beds, its just time consuming

The netherite smithing template is the reason why my main world is still at 1.19.2

I thought this would be another one of these blatant complaining vids but you really got a good point👍

there's like 0 incentive to get netherite let alone diamond armor, when you can go to the end naked and use beds to kill the ender dragon, even if you dont use beds, you dont need more than full iron to kill that thing, the ender dragon needs a buff and the end dimension needs an update, you kill this weak ass dragon and then you find one end city, put unbreaking 3 and mending on the elytra and get out of there for ever other than endermen or shulker farms, the "end game" is ass it needs an update, more bosses buffed dragon, nether needs more bosses too, same for the over world, the only real over world boss is the warden that too has 0 incentive, each boss should be tied to another like the progression in the twilight forest mod, you shouldnt be able to enter a new area before killing the boss that comes before it in sequence

I would have never gone to bastions without this change

Tbh, i think that they really should focus on adding harder challanges to use netherite and stuff on, to balance em out, yknow, instead of makin them harder to get, cuz once you get em, it really seems like its over, same with big farms and stuff, at least to me, i did see a '' less op villagers'' setting in the experiments, so im exited to see how dat turns out!!!! :D

My problem is people are too stupid to tell difficulty from tedium. this jsut makes it more tedious to get the armor, not more difficult. when people say they want more difficulty they mean content. something to DO. not something to farm for. challenging bosses and dungeons. puzzles that make you think, ect. this is why mods that add these things are so popular and why people hate the new updates. they add mechanics and mobs, not content. this would be like if world of warcraft added new armor and enemys but no new raids or zones. they give you tools, but theres nothing to use them on. theres no point to them.

Easy fix for armor trims and for netherite template

Netherite and snout template are a rare bartering loot requiring gold blocks to barter (other gold block barters would just be larger quantities of gravel, quartz, netherrack(finally renewable netherrack), and a rare chance for gilded blackstone(makes that renewable now too)

For the other armor trims make it so wandering traders always have 1 of the overworld ones for 64 emeralds with a limit of one

The end trim should just drop once every time the dragon is defeated

Gotta disagree.

Diamonds aren't renewable.

We shouldn't have any high tier items be non-renewable regardless of how difficult it is to renew.

Hell even beacons are renewable but armor trims aren't

Not to mention that anyone who plays on multiplayer or on special modes like skyblock it makes them completely unobtainable without an admin shop
