Minecraft 1.21 Pre Release 1 Auto Block Breaking, Boat Leashing & Portal Pearls!

hello everyone and welcome back to another Minecraft update video and yes I am a day late on this one I’ve just got back from my travels from somewhere rather hot which feels quite thinning that I spawned in this desert So Yesterday pre-release 1 for 1.21 came out and that does indeed mean that we are getting close to the release of the tricky trials update and before we cover this pre-release I want to bring you up to speed on what’s been happening with Minecraft’s 15-year celebration since I last made a video on the topic fortunately for me I found an article that summarizes everything day by day on the Minecraft Wiki and if you didn’t know this has moved to minecraft. Wiki so with this recap I’m going to be brief on May the 22nd we had a collaboration with high ground bringing us Minecraft theme keyboards and mouse pads on May the 23rd we had Minecraft theme Cosmetics added to Forza Horizons 5 and the soliter collection by Microsoft added a theme for solit there and there was also a Minecraft theme added to Microsoft’s magon game on May the 24th a giant Lego construction of brick arite or was sent to various different content creators and this is what it looked like a custom or built out of Lego bricks on May the 25th the announcement of a Minecraft time capsule that would be buried into the ground and then opened again in 15 years on Minecraft’s future 30th Anniversary Now That’s What I Call thinking ahead on May the 26th we had a mini documentary called shape your world Minecraft meets art and this featured various artists to create art Beed around the Minecraft game and on May the 27th we got a huge announcement that there would be a Minecraft Championship collaboration with Minecraft an official event taking place sometime this summer which reminds me to remind you that I am in the next MCC which is on Saturday June the 1st and if you visit my schedule page I’ll leave a link L to it down below it’ll convert the stream to your time zone I’m going to be on a team with five up Wally bear and our fellow hermit Cleo and I would love it if you came and watch me play so feel free to follow me over on Twitch if you want to catch the stream on May the 28th we had the Minecraft National Park monument challenge which is content playable on the Bedrock Marketplace May the 29th which was the last date of the event announced the Minecraft experience which is going to be an in-person event happening in cities around the world the first one announced was Dallas Texas and not a crazy amount of detail about this was revealed but it’s going to be some sort of popup event where you can go with family and friends and have a fun interactive experience around the Minecraft theme and today we got yet another announcement this time from Netflix there is going to be an animated series it’s currently officially in the works there’s no date set in stone and this announcement comes actually one day after after the celebrations have finished and I can’t help but feel that’s probably going to be the last of it but I will keep my eyes open for any more info of course so one more thing to mention before we get into this pre-release as it says on the screen June 13 is the release date for the tricky trials update that is a Thursday and it is 2 weeks away now so although this is a pre-release we have three rather interesting gameplay changes snuck in right before the release the first of which is throwing in into Pearl through a portal this now actually lands the Pearl on the opposite side and this works through all portals into all Dimensions something previously not possible and just to demonstrate this a little further you can see where we arrive on the opposite side it’s not like immediately outside the portal the ender pearl gets thrown and lands in a location now obviously we can’t have water in the nether Dimension so ender pearl stasis Chambers were never possible there and hopefully this works let’s go throw a water bucket right there ah almost okay this way works but it kind of relies on the timing of pressing this button that however was perfect and just to make it clear this works on all the different portal types let’s go throw that Ender pear and uh here we are along with some blocks because this was generated inside of solid endstone and that leads me to the next big change in this pre-release here we have a dispenser shooting items through to the end portal when we go through we can find them in the middle here because the opposite side are loaded chunks now when I go ahead and break the obsidian it regenerates when these items come through that is not news to us of course that’s not the change the change is what happens to the other blocks here that are placed when the platform gets regenerated this area is cleared but now the blocks that are here are actually dropped in item form whereas previously they were just completely disappear and this could be incredibly useful if we use our imagination a little imagine having an automated Tree Farm here in the end Dimension and then feeding those blocks into this area they would be automatically broken for collection this would be a great alternative to TNT duping or you know just actually using TNT for every blast and there probably a bunch of other clever things we could do with this too it’s one of those small changes that could be huge next up we’re going to talk boats which can be incredibly useful for capturing a friend and then transporting them off to another location but what if it turns out that friend is hostile and you need a little bit of distance well now on Java Edition you can leash a boat rather than the entity that’s in it and then pull it along which you know seems simp simple but it’s kind of huge oh yeah and uh can also be kind of hilarious so let’s imagine you’re facing off against a creeper in the wild the boat is a classic disabling technique but then you can’t get in the boat and move the creeper but of course with this leash you could uh attach it to the boat get in your own and swim away now this seems good in practice but I’m sure something might still be able to go wrong yeah like when I when I stop that boat’s going to have momentum and actually no it kind of stops at the right distance just uh don’t let that creeper get too close right anyways I’m sure you get the point this massively Buffs our ability to move mobs and entities around in the world so this is a fantastic change let’s now get to some of the smaller changes in this pre-release the MA’s attack speed cool down has been changed yet again it is now 0.6 of a second and according to slice this was made to give players the ability to chain their attacks together and I have zero skills with a mace but I’m going to give it a try I’m doing it look at that so yeah thanks to this attack speed change you now be able to continuously link your attacks together in the last video we covered some changes between waxed and regular copper doors recognizing each other while this has been extended to all doors so now all the different door types will work together and they will link like this regard regardless of where you place it on the Block there is a trial chamber change it’s a minor one but it relates to mobs picking up items possibly player items after a death and then being converted into an ominous trial mob and it would previously delete the items they’re picked up so now if any items are picked up they’re going to be retained when they become enous mobs here’s another ender pearl related change when you throw an ender pearl through one of these end gateways and it’s got nowhere to put you because there’s no endstone it’s now just going to put you on top of the end Gateway rather than having you fall into the void and this next change links into the next part of this video so riding an entity such as a horse or a mine cart when going through a portal well you can now successfully do that and if I do that in survival mode you’ll notice here that the delay for teleporting is not applied this is probably because it needed to be done that way to make this functionality work so this brings us to reverted Fe features things that were in the previous couple of updates that have now been swapped back here in the technical changes it says that they’ve removed the entities where passengers can use Portal game roll that was put into the previous snapshot and is now been removed so now it’s the default behavior that when an entity is riding another entity they will just go through the portal the other removed feature was the functionality for fire aspect lighting blocks on fire the reasoning here is that they just want to refine it further and that it will be reintroduced in a later release I believe this will probably be after 1.21 is actually out there’s also been some rather powerful sounding changes to structures the ability to better Define how it works with being water logged Within These liquid settings this is mainly here to fix some bugs where structures overlap with aquifers and you get water log blocks inside of like a trial chamber that doesn’t look too good but it also sounds like it’s been in a way to give map makers some extra control over custom features like structures and lastly here a comment on the bugs we had some really old ones fixed the end obsidian platform was number 902 and once again there are indeed quite a lot of bug fixes but apart from the things I showed you these were just related to the last couple of snapshots and that’s it my friends we are getting close to the release of 1.21 we know the date it’s just 2 weeks away and this means that pre-releases and release candidates will be coming out in the next few days and of course I’ll be covering them if there’s a lot to talk about on this channel if I miss any of them it’s probably because there’s not too much to say so make sure you subscribe to catch those videos in the future thanks for watching and I hope to see you at the Minecraft championship in a couple of days bye-bye

  1. another bedrock feature gets put in to Java but bedrock don't get any features from Java like sweeping edge minecart furnace building on the nether roof and spectral arrows

  2. I wonder, if you throw an ender pearl and it goes through the portal and hits another portal at the other side, can you chain portals this way?

  3. i appreciate that we now have the ability to auto break blocks (without tnt duping.) it's a feature i've wanted for a very long time – but i'd much rather have a block breaking redstone component, so that we could construct more than a single block breaker per world, in any dimension. plus, i generally feel that it's a bit cheap taking advantage of these sorts of mechanics for farms, which seem intended more for quality of life than as "gameplay" mechanics, if that makes sense

  4. I think I'm more excited about some of these features than anything else of the trials and trails (?) update.

    Block Breaking. Like this opens up so many possibilities, just Tree farms, which used to be forced to be cheesy are now so much easier and a cobble stone farm can be constructed in a minute with this.

    Boat Leashing. This feels like the perfect counterbalance to the villager rebalance, making swamp villagers much less painful to attain and now trading may be in an actually great spot.

  5. Can you throw a pearl through a nether portal, through another portal… This would enable super fast travel through the nether without actually going through the nether

  6. Zedaph is going to love the portal mechanic for a zedvancement. Throwing an ender pearl into a portal to land in another portal leading to the End Portal.

    Also, YouTube's new layout is trippy, I thought it was one of those sketchy ripoff websites at first with the videos at the bottom, and comments squished all the way to the right. heh.

  7. I am excited about the update itself, but from the other side, that means there will be no new meaningful snapshot in the nearest future, and to be honest I like much more looking on the process of development of Minecraft than using its effects.

  8. Etho and Tango: Make a complicated mail system on hermitcraft.
    Mojang: "Now that you guys already completed that project, let's make it way easier with new portal mechanics." 😅

  9. The pearl thing seems a bit buggy tho. Like after seeing phoenix’s video I tried a few times and it did fail a couple times to go through the portal and just passed through it into the overworld, so it doesn’t seem consistent. Maybe something that they will sort out late on the full release.

  10. I hope they make it so tou can sheer pibs and strider to remove saddles
    And a option to kick entity out of a vehicle without breaking it (and with a cool down so it cant sit bacl automatically)
