in just the past few days Mojang released the first developmental snapshot for the next version of Minecraft the nether update the update has brought plenty of brand-new features such as new biomes and the nether new mobs new types of blocks game optimizations and for the first time in the history of minecraft a material stronger than diamond nether right so that begs the question how would this update affect the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft a server that's been running for an entire decade with no rules and has been through most major versions of Minecraft well I can tell you right off the bat that this would be the most game-changing update the server has ever seen just to name a few changes it would make every single dupe stash on the server worthless overnight it would offer in a new era of nether exploration never before seen it would help stabilize the server's player run economy that's been practically destroyed due to item inflation and merchant dis cords and that's just the tip of the iceberg there is a lot to talk about today so let's get started now I know what you're probably thinking fit why are you talking about the next version of Minecraft when to bNUMBER_TOKENt has been stuck on the same version for two and a half years well it's true to be NUMBER_TOKENt has been stuck in the world of color update for a while now as the update aquatic and the village and pillage updates have both proven to be too unstable for the server to update to in the past applying every update to the server has been a major task for the server's admin housemaster well it turns out that keeping a decade-old server that's terabytes in size stable is not an easy task but starting with the buzzy bees update chunk loading and other aspects of Java Edition performance have improved greatly it is very possible that to be NUMBER_TOKENt could jump from one point twelve straight to one point sixteen or above with proper plugin support given enough time eventually the jump can be made and with it the most server changing update of all time the first noticeable change that would happen at NUMBER_TOKEN B NUMBER_TOKEN T would be the notorious nether spawn becoming a brand-new biome a warped forest that's right since the nether update is introducing new biomes to the dimension - B - T's nether spawn would retroactively lis become this new biome seen here is what nether spawn would look like completely ungreased according to - B - T's seed now the region on the server itself is constantly in a state of chaos even though no new terrain could be generated this close to spawn the nether fog would change to a slightly blue color which would definitely feel weird at first since the player built highways go millions of blocks in the cardinal directions expect to have the nether fog change colors constantly while moving through these tunnels but speaking of player built roadways traditionally to be NUMBER_TOKEN T players haven't had a real reason to explore the nether except for using it for long distance travel the last time players were encouraged to explore was way back in NUMBER_TOKEN when nether quartz got added and briefly in NUMBER_TOKEN when magma was added but that was it in NUMBER_TOKEN the highway to the world border was completed stretching out to NUMBER_TOKEN million blocks east in the nether while the digging crew managed to go farther out in the nether than anyone else had before it was just a straight line almost no one branched out that far so other than the situation's
START_INTERACTION_TOKEN there is a lot to talk about today so let's get started now I know what you're probably thinking fit END_INTERACTION_TOKEN
