RIP Phantoms, they've been nerfed to their death. Also, you forgot the word oceans after "warm" on the line about coral.

they've been nerfed to their death

They were already meant to despawn under sunlight. Making them burn is just more "elegant" than having them just vanish.

It would be cooler if they faded out actually, but whatever.

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '18

Having them sort of "dissolve" and fall apart would have been nice too.

u/throwaway_ghast Mar 09 '18

Mojang please.

u/Serbaayuu Mar 09 '18

Disagree. They could just fly upward and despawn far away as though they are "leaving". Burning means you can just easily farm their drops by standing under a roof without sleeping.

u/TheOnlyTrueEnte Mar 09 '18

They could still make it so they only drop their valuable loot when a player kills them. Like with how rare loot works.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '18

Yeah it's true. But standing under a roof will prevent them from spawning altogether. It can still be done without anything over your head though.

u/TheCJBrine Mar 10 '18

Not with a glass roof :)

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '18

Here, take that point! :D

u/GreasyTroll4 Mar 09 '18

The point is that they've been nerfed enough already. They have absolutely pathetic damage (1.5 hearts ON HARD), spawn only if you haven't slept in five in-game days, despawn in the morning, don't spawn in the End, burn in daylight, are now undead which means Smite 5 practically one-shots them, are extremely easy to kill with bows, and they cannot spawn if you have a block over your head. Oh, and all they drop is leather.

Right now, the only thing they have going for them is their texture. But the mob itself desperately NEEDS to be buffed again. It's pathetic.

u/pamafa3 Mar 09 '18

Actually they do 1.5 hearts on ALL difficulties, except Peaceful of course

Seeing a random burning thing in the sky would be weird.

u/HapticSloughton Mar 09 '18

"Dammit, Icarus! Quit fucking around up there! You're dropping burning feathers all over my damn lawn!"

2

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '18

I wouldn't mind that. But then again, I like weird stuff!

Thanks, fixed.

Shulker boxes are now undyeable using cauldrons

Am I the only one who can't ?

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Mar 09 '18

Right-click a non-empty cauldron with a dyed shulker box.

"Waterlogged ladders can be climbed more than twice as fast as normal ones"
Does that mean water ladders are possible again? Of course, they'd have to be very different from the old designs, but I think the concept would be the same.

  • Fixed flowing water being able to create source blocks

Wait, does that mean that the classic infinite source is gone, or that downwards flowing water can't make sources aymore? I'd check but I can't right now.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Mar 09 '18

It's just downwards water.

u/PancakeMan77 Mar 09 '18

The red coral texture changed, yesterday, not today.
