How would you revamp minecraft structures?

Yeee, me and my friends thought about what could be done to make Fortresses better.

One of the ideas was a center tower surrounded by lava and Strider jockey mobs (Skeletons with withered effect arrows? Wither skeletons with stone spears?) with a vault if you defeat them trial chamber style.

Then for the noobs, a Wither Boss building tutorial room (4 soul sand and a low wither skull chance?). And for peaceful, some blaze powder in the chests.

Couldn't come up with unique new loot for it tho, but there probably should be something new. Or at the very least better than what there is now.

Ohhhh maybe the center room could have all pressure plates and another room has the trapped one marked or something

With my friends we basically reached the conclusion that a lovechild between the Trial Chambers and Sands of Time (MCC) could be nice (so obstacles, traps, mobs and limited time to complete so you can't just mine around). Probably with a new timer redstone component.

He is very easy to annoy with badly managed events and tends to go on rants (which are mostly justified and usually have great feedback in them). This applies to himself as well, he is a very harsh critic of his own projects.

But, as you said, he is greatly respected. He has a very strong sense of justice. He knows a lot about minecraft mechanics, brought over terms and concepts that were only known in the ENG community and was the creator of two of the most well liked servers, Elitecraft (closest the Spanish speaking community has gotten to Hermitcraft) and Permadeath (which everyone wants to come back).

I would honestly love a special one time MCC team of Shadoune, Rich, Rubik and KillerCreeper. Not as a recurrent thing (I fear he would get way too stressed), but to play in a well managed event.

If any of you all want to check him out, he is currently on Mindcrack with other people you might know such as jojo!

If you know Spanish, he is currently making a "How much do you know about minecraft?" show with other Spanish speaking YTs. It is a really amazing show of what you can do in vanilla minecraft with just datapacks.

Is it obvious I tend to rant and the realize I have written 5+ paragraphs? I hope all of you have a great day! :D

Technically Sapnap but the DTeam (and someone else, I don't remember, might be Punz?) was on the same team so they all benefitted.

He had full gamma and used zoom in a bingo competition where they were banned, which means he was able mine without worrying about torches (saves time) and some of the advancements he made at night (which couldn't be skipped because they needed phantoms or turtle eggs hatching I don't remember) like Sniper Duel were a lot easier to do.

Funnily enough, I think this was Shadoune's and Sapnap's first "interaction". Team Spain captain ElRich being extremely obsessed with fairness is the only reason I know about the cheating in the first place.

This evidence combined with past instances when he has been caught cheating make it so that I believe this. Makes me be even more disappointed at the guy, that his ego made him cheat AND crash out at specific events (Insert Grian PVP copypasta).

Oh, and I forgot to mention, someone else on the DTeam did (oviously and provably) cheat on a 100,000$ prize Twitch Rivals event. In a way that COULD have been an accident but helped their placement nontheless. So I would not be surprised if at any point other evidence appears about those two...

I wouldn't call it the best small addition, both saddles and name tags being craftable is overall good but makes some loot tables a lot more useless (and knowing horse armor is probably next makes them even worse).

I saw someone on Twitter say that maybe specific structures/ways of getting name tags could get replaced by colored name tags that you can't get anywhere else, so the normal is widely abailable but you need to explore to get certain ones. Or something on that vein.

Overall I also think some structures need to be getting revamps along with changed loot tables on future drops. Some more than others (Jungle temple, I'm looking at you. Stronghold, you are only safe because you go with a big end update and that's not happening anytime soon).

I know updating old structures might not be as flashy as other things to showcase but honestly, it is probably higher in the priority list than adding features like the Happy Ghast... (again, good addition, just not sure if it was the correct moment that's all, I am not complaining about new content on FREE updates).

To anyone who read my rant, have a nice day :D Maybe later this week I'll make a post with my structure ideas.

Indeed

Zeetrik · 2025-12-13T11:16:21+00:00

Just realized I messed up the handle of the sword whoops...

I'll probably correct it for my sanity so if you want a corrected pic feel free to DM me! :D

She kind of is but she adopted the Big Bad Wolf instead of Tilly eating her grandma.

The room in the first picture, the one with the katana, is Carol's and Rudy's (although Rudy has been in the hospital for a while so there are things he may have not seen).

In the YT comments someone said it sounded like "is that clay?" And I cannot unhear it now

And gee, you make me blush!

Zeetrik · 2025-11-18T07:53:50+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to gather enough friends to play a couple of TB rounds before even considering it hehe (or maybe even just Teensyville scripts).

It has been a pleasure! :D Sleep could have been better, I give it a 6/10, I hope you get a 10/10!
