Minecraft 1.12: the most important innovations
The colorful age has begun in Minecraft. With the "World of Color" Update 1.12 new elements are added, which let the game shine in new colors. In this practical tip, we have put together the most important innovations for you.
Minecraft 1.12: colorful concrete and glazed ceramic
- With the new concrete blocks, colored buildings can now be erected which, in contrast to buildings made of colored wool, are fire-resistant.
- A concrete block is created when dry concrete comes into contact with water. Dry concrete can be made with 4 gravel, 4 sand and one color in the middle in the workbench.
- The glazed ceramic elements are primarily used for decoration. Each of the 16 blocks has its own special pattern [see picture]. Ceramic is fireproof like concrete and therefore also a safe building material.
- Glazed ceramic blocks can be made by burning colored ceramic in the oven.
Minecraft 1.12: parrots
- The wildlife in Minecraft is once again one genus rich with the parrot. The colorful birds can only be found in the jungle biomes.
- You can easily tame these animals with wheat grains. Then they fly after the player and sit on his shoulders. With a right click on the bird it stops on the square.
- A total of 5 different parrot species have been integrated into the game. There are blue, light blue, white, red and green parrots. These only differ in appearance.
Minecraft 1.12: illusionists
- The illusionist is a malicious Minecraft NPC. Of course, he does not yet spawn in this version. Nevertheless, you can use the command "/ summon illusion_illager" to bring the illusionist directly into play.
- When attacking the player or a villager, he uses a bow and arrow. In addition, he is able to perform two spells: The first spell is "blindness". The view range for the enchanted players is limited to a few blocks. The magic subsides after 20 seconds. With the second spell, he summons four doubles and makes himself invisible. These lookalikes spawn around him. They closely mimic his movements, but only the real illusionist can shoot and get hurt. After a minute, this effect is over.
