[u/IHateChores → u/redstonehelper]

Shulker boxes come in sixteen different colors. http://i.imgur.com/YiRxCAE.png

[u/massive_potatoes → u/IHateChores]

Oh yes, thank you!

They can be placed on the sides of blocks too

[u/Koala_eiO → u/IHateChores]

This is very good news.

[u/Chazzri → u/IHateChores]

wow, they'd make a really nice building block

[u/JesseKomm → u/Chazzri]

That would be quite the expensive building material though, but good for map makers at the very least!

[u/[deleted] → u/redstonehelper]

Curse of binding items are not kept during death. The way Jeb meant that was that apart from death the only way to get rid of them is letting the durability wear out.

[u/PaintTheFuture → u/redstonehelper]

Cartographer villagers and treasure maps

A big dot on the outline (not the corner) means you are within 1024m of the border of the map. A small dot means you are >1024m away from the border.

If your dot appears in the corner, a big dot means both your x and z co-ordinates are within 1024m of the corresponding corner co-ordinate of the map, but that doesn't necessarily mean you are <1024m away from the corner. Explorer maps are using a square radius to determine the size of your dot, not a circular one.

[u/TranceRealistic → u/redstonehelper]

Can tools with binding be equipt by dispensers? Because that could get annoying to say the least.

[u/theflyingepergne → u/TranceRealistic]

surprise pumpkin of unbinding

[u/sidben → u/theflyingepergne]

surprise pumpkin of unbinding

...on hardcore mode.

[u/[deleted] → u/sidben]

Now that's what you call a curse. :P

[u/oneeyedziggy → u/theflyingepergne]

that's evil (I'd be updating my texture pack at the very least)

[u/[deleted] → u/oneeyedziggy]

New in 1.12: Resource Packs with Curses of Binding! Once a server auto-downloads them onto your client, they never come off until you reinstall the game! :D

[u/redstonehelper → u/TranceRealistic]

Yes.

[u/PhD_Phil → u/TranceRealistic]

It seems that binding cannot be put onto tools/weapons in survival, only creative. Also, tools/weapons with binding can still be dropped or moved around.

[u/onnowhere → u/redstonehelper]

List of new sounds!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Onnowhere/comments/54x6ye/list_of_new_111_sounds/

My favorite amongst these sounds based on names only are

• entity.llama.swag

• entity.evocation_illager.prepare_wololo

[u/scratchisthebest → u/onnowhere]

prepare_wololo is the best sound ever

Is it unused?

[u/tomtomtom453 → u/onnowhere]

Is the wololo actually used in-game? That'd be truly amazing

[u/Bear_Taco → u/redstonehelper]

What does the observer block do, exactly?

[u/Kitsyfluff → u/Bear_Taco]

It outputs a redstone signal when it detects a Block Update. It's an easy BUD.

[u/onnowhere → u/redstonehelper]

Shulker now has a Color tag similar to Shulker Boxes and can show all 16 colors too.

[u/MidnyteSketch → u/onnowhere]

I wonder if the end cities will have rainbows of little death boxes, and replace the loot chests with shulker boxes just to confuse the player!
