- [Skip The Tutorial]
This is Minecraft trailers versus Minecraft reality. The first thing the
Minecraft trailers get wrong is oddly enough, mining. And I'm not just talking about the fact that they're only taking one
swing at a time per each block. Maybe they just have high
efficiency, I don't know. But more specifically as you see in the Caves and Cliffs trailer
for the part two update, the blocks that they're mining
seem to save the progress even if they stop mining them. And unless you install a mod like this, it's not gonna be in the real game. In the final shot of the
Minecraft 1.20 trailer when Steve's running into the cave, we see a few anomalies on the wall here. Unfortunately, without the use of mods, spiders cannot climb horizontally. And that's not the only issue in this shot since there's also
something weird going on with our skeletons, which is that if we zoom
in and look closely, sure enough none of the
skeletons walking towards Steve actually have any bows and
arrows here or any weapons. They're really more walking like zombies, which is made even weirder by the fact that earlier in the
trailer they show skeletons coming out of the sand dunes and those skeletons have
their bows and arrows. But they still got the
spider climbing wrong, so some things never change. People often talk about how
rare the blue axolotl is, but there actually was one even rarer. And the only place to find
the green axolotl variant was in the Caves and
Cliffs update for part one. Now if you blink, you might miss it, but in fact, there it is. And this green variant was also shown off in early promotional images
released for the game. And honestly, I don't know
how hard it would've been to add in a green
axolotl like this anyway. But it also doesn't look like we're ever gonna learn the answer, since when Lady Agnes was
asked this question on stream, this is what she had to say. - Yes. (chuckles) I'm not sure I can answer that right now. I'm sorry. - [Skip The Tutorial] But hey,
I guess a non-answer's better than no answer at all. At least they acknowledged it. There must have been some disagreement about how drip leaves work
between the trailer team and the actual developers. Since when you watch drip
leaves in the trailer, Alex is bouncing off of
them using them to spring from one to the other. But in game, they're not springy. They're quite the opposite. They just droop and fall. But even with that disappointment, the lush caves that she's
in still seem a lot better than what Steve's dealing with, so I guess it's not that much of a loss. But one of the biggest
losses in translation is that we don't have splashes
like this in the base game. Though through the help of
a mod like this by Doctor4t, there is a way to play
with these in the game. And my personal favorite feature of this is that the size of the entity dictates how big the splash is gonna be. So while items might only
make a few small splashes like this, if you throw a
larger mob into the water, it's gonna be a lot more noticeable. And if anything, having this in the game would make fishing a lot more satisfying, since it hasn't been a lot of fun since 1.16 changed the treasure loot. In the trailer for the Wild update, you can see that the
chicken's noticeably scared of the warden. I mean, who wouldn't be
if it hits like this? But in reality, the chickens
are never scared of any mobs in the game, even the ones
that are hostile towards them. But that's not gonna stop
the warden from attacking it. If it gets too close and creates a sound, even if it isn't scared, the warden will give it a reason to be. And in fact, the only time they
ever get scared in the game is if we happen to hit them and then they start
running around frantically. Does that mean we're a bigger
monster than the warden? Ah, maybe that's fair. When Steve and Alex are crafting netherite to prepare to enter the Nether, it's interesting, you
never actually see them with diamond versions of the
items that they start with. But hey, at least the hammer on the smithing table's getting some use. That's more than any of the tools on the crafting table have
ever been used for in the game. But who knows, maybe for a time when they
were making this trailer, they didn't actually need
diamonds to make netherite tools, which not needing diamonds is one thing, but I'm more jealous of the fact that they never needed to touch one of the netherite upgrade templates that we need in the new version. In the announcement trailer
for the Minecraft Live stream in 2022, you'll notice
that in this example, there's multiple frogs
that are able to ride in one mine cart, which not only doesn't happen
with any mob in the base game, but here we're also able to see the frogs, since in reality if you get
a frog inside of a mine cart, the only way you're gonna be
able to see it is from above. They're just too small
within the mine cart's model. Oh, and also they got a warden
inside of a mine cart too. Don't think I didn't miss that. If you take a look at goats in the Caves and Cliff's trailer, you might think that
they're a hostile mob. But in reality, they're
not nearly as aggressive. And in fact, one of the
reasons they seem so docile in the game is that
they'll only go after you if you're unmoving. And since players rarely
stand still for very long, you really have to try hard
to get hit by one of these. Oh, and they also only ram at
you every 30 to 300 seconds, which even on the low end of that range means you got plenty of time to be safe. This brief moment in a Minecraft
trailer is still burned into some player's memory. And the reason for that
is this bit of blue dust in the background. And with just those few frames, players went wild with theorizing. Maybe it was some blue
alternative to redstone or a new thing like cobalt. But more likely is that it
could have been some unused form of the blue dye, since in this update, there was a lot of changes
made to the dyes that we had. And key among those is making lapis lazuli no longer used for blue dye. But rather you have to craft
it into a separate item. And given the fact that it's
the cleric throwing it out and they're used to using lapis, that seems more likely in my head. And also in the Village
and Pillage trailer, you'll notice something
interesting if you study the cat, which even though most of the mobs in the trailer tend to
be animated pretty close to their Minecraft models,
a big notable difference is that the cattails
aren't rigid in the game. So you'll never see them move this way. Now I know you also won't
see the mobs dancing the way that they do in the trailer, but it's an interesting
little visual discrepancy that they normally try
to avoid in these things. Oh, and also, cats like to
sit on chests, not barrels. Even if you were to download
numbers of different shaders, it's almost impossible to
recreate the kinda lighting system that we see in the trailer, which makes sense, it's pre-rendered. But even if you go through all the effort that LowResBones shows off here, we can get the textures right, we can add on torches
emitting light from hands, but all the little intricacies
are never to be seen. And to me, the most disappointing to that is that we can't create
shadows like Alex does with this dead bush. That would open up a ton of fun pranks. On this channel that would
be right up our alley. When Alex falls off her
rollercoaster into the lush cave, you'll notice that this
behaves very differently from how mine carts fall in the base game. For one, both the cart and Alex
seem to experience some form of proper projectile motion. Whereas in actual Minecraft, entities tend to have
immense amounts of drag through the air, and also
the mine cart's falling while still angled from the rail, whereas what would actually
happens is that it stays on the same axis and falls level. Now, if you look at any of
the trailers for Minecraft, you'll notice that they don't
match any of the textures that we see in the game, which luckily is not an
issue that we can't solve. Since by downloading this
texture pack called Bare Bones, the makers of the pack
have done an exquisite job of recreating every texture
to look like how it does in the trailers. And while it still looks a
bit more simplistic in game than it ever does in a
pre-rendered trailer, with the right shaders installed, you can really get this
to look pretty close. And personally, my
favorite is to pair this with something like the Fresh
Animations pack as well. That'll make your game
really feel more alive. Interestingly, this trailer
feature used to not work, but now it's actually
possible in new versions. Since 1.14 was shown off, you wouldn't have a baby
villager riding a pig. Now with the /ride command, we're not only able to make that happen, but we can have a whole
number of mobs ride on top of each other. And the results get pretty crazy. It's worth playing around with. Now the whole point of the
Village and Pillage trailer is that the villagers are dancing when they're getting raided, which obviously doesn't
happen in the game, at least not with the villagers. Because more peculiar
is that the pillagers are actually the one dancing
when they finish a raid. And the piglins also
have a chance of dancing when they finish a hoglin hunt, which begs the question,
why were those added in? But when the villagers celebrate you as the hero of the village, the most they do is throw
off a couple of fireworks. Seems like a missed opportunity to me. Frankly, this one's
wrong on a technicality, since while it's true
that amethyst clusters are able to glow when
they're placed like this, the same can't be said for
the amethyst blocks or items. And that makes little scenes like this in the trailer completely
impossible in base game. Oh, and also Minecraft doesn't
have colorful lighting, which is disappointing
in more ways than one. In the announcement trailer
for the Buzzy Bees update, you'll notice that when you
peek inside the beehive, you can actually see the bees sleeping, which not only can you not
peek inside of the beehive, but the bees also don't really sleep. And the only mobs that
you're gonna see do as much are villagers, bats, and foxes, which is a shame because I
think having a particle effect like this with the little Z's floating up would be a really fun effect
for when mobs are snoozing. As you can see, when a
ghast shoots a fireball at Steve and Alex while
they're in the Nether, it doesn't just shoot the fireball, but it also recoils back from
the action of shooting it, which in the actual
game has never happened. And that just goes to show you Minecraft's lackluster representation of physics. Since by having no recoil, this disobeys Newton's
third law of motion. Every action there should be
an equal and opposite reaction. But obviously ghasts have never been in the real world either. Maybe that's just how they work. In the trailer for 1.15, you can see an iron golem holding
out a poppy to a villager, which will still happen. The only thing is is that the
villagers never seem to care about it anymore. Because with all the buggy
changes they're added in 1.14, one of those that the villagers
will never take the poppy when it's given to them. And apparently Mojang didn't get the memo that they broke this in the last update. Since even after it
stopped working in 1.14, it made it into this trailer for 1.15. When the allay was shown off in one of the Wild update trailers, the allay took Steve
to a different location where glowberries were on the floor, which isn't true of allays. Really it's more like the
behavior for dolphins. That case, if you give
the dolphin certain items, they'll help you find shipwrecks. But in reality, allays only seek up items up to 32 blocks away from the player. So if the glowberries weren't
already next to Steve, there's no hope the
allay getting near them. The way portals work in the trailers is that you actually keep the momentum that you have entering the
portal on the other side. When in reality because
we have to stay still to actually enter through the portal, all of the momentum we
would've had just dies when we're waiting for that transition. And in fact, the trailer's
representation seems to work more like the
Immersive Portals mod. Except here, we actually
can't see through them to the other side, which
I get Mojang not putting that into the trailers. It would probably be too confusing. When Steve and Alex die in
the Nether update trailer, you'll notice that their stuff
seems to vanish with them. But the answer here isn't as simple as using something like keep inventory. Since in that same trailer, when they come back to life
with the respawn anchor, they're still missing all of their gear that they lost in the previous shot. And because they respawn,
they're not in hardcore mode. I guess they're just playing
on some rare difficulty that only exists within
Mojang's rendering server. In the trailer for the
Trails and Tales update, we see Steve diving into the water to find some of the new tide armor trims. But when he dives down, he gets noticeably close
to the puffer fish, enough for it to puff up, which if Minecraft's taught us anything, that also means that
Steve would get poisoned. No amount of cool looking
armor's gonna change that. And with that, folks, YouTube thinks that you
might like this video, so see if they're right and
have a good one, all right?
