On July 1st, we got the new Preview from official Minecraft and let me tell you this one is way more interesting. The major part of this update was on the most useless item "Copper", before this update, Copper in both Java and Bedrock Editions were the most common and useless item ever but, this update changes everything and this time many fans and i personally think that this is an really useful update, this update might change they way or process of journey for new upcoming players on Minecraft.
Copper Tools, Weapons & Armor:
From this update, we now have not just few items of copper such as - "Copper Rods", "Spy Glasses" and "Brushes", now we also have entire "Armour and Full set of Tools" that are made out of copper. In simple way, The "Copper Tools" are between Stone and Iron equipments that means it can offer more durability and mining speed over stone but still less than Iron tools, and unlike Iron pickaxe that breaks all the ores in Minecraft, Copper can't (it cannot mine Redstone, Gold, Diamond and other more). The Copper weapons such as Sword provide the same damage as Stone Sword. And the "Copper Armour" provides "5" protection points which is still less than because "Iron Armour" provides "7.5" protection points, the durability of Copper Armour is still below the Gold and Chainmail. Unlike copper blocks, the copper armour, weapons and tools cannot be oxidized, a good news for "Copper Lovers" i guess, who always wants their copper items to shine.
Copper Chest + Copper Golem:
Copper Golem:-
This update introduced us the "Copper Golem" with "Copper Chest" and old Minecraft players also very well knows that this mob lost the chance to appear in game on the year 2021 due to less vote in Minecraft Live Mob Vote. It's directly on the Game now but with entirely different objective, during the vote time, Copper Golem was shown as the mob who just presses the random buttons in the Redstone Mechanism but, now it's objective is to sort all your items from one chest to another. It should be summoned manually, by placing a Carved Pumpkin on Copper Block can now spawn a Copper Golem and generate Copper Chest too. These Copper Golems and Chests can also come in four variants such as:- Normal/Unoxidized, Exposed, Weathered, and Oxidized.
Copper Chest:-
But, if you need only Copper Chest, you can craft by using "Crafting Table", you just need a normal chest and eight copper ingots, you can even make it large chest by just placing two Copper Chest together. Unlike regular chest, the Copper Chest can't break by hand because it takes a lot of time and after breaking it, you won't get your Copper Chest back, so you need a good Pickaxe to do this. The Copper Chests can be oxidized during the time with Copper Golems just like the copper blocks does.
How does it work?
It takes the items only from the Copper Chest and sort it into Normal or Trapped Chest, which means it cannot pick items and sort from Normal Chest to Normal Chest, and these Copper Chest can also be connected to Hoppers too. Copper Golem's simple process is to pick the item from Copper Chest, then delivers or sorts those items into nearby normal chests, it scans for chests in a horizontal range of 32 blocks and can reach and sort into up to 10 chests. It only moves items which are stacked up to 16 per trip (not full stacks).
Latest Features and Bug Fixes:
There are also adding some features and bug fixing is done in this update and official Minecraft have shared this too as you can see in these images:-
Adding New Items:
Two new items will be added in Minecraft based on Minecraft Movie, The first one is the "Dennis Painting" that features Chief's loyal wolf "Dennis", this is available in both editions and the second one is the "Lava Chicken Music Disc" it is also an instrumental version of chief's Lava Chicken song and this will be available only in Java Edition, and to get this disc, players need to kill a "Chicken Jockey".
Update currently available:
This update is not released yet but, it is available as an experimental feature in Minecraft Bedrock Edition beta and preview versions. According to the rumour, this update is set to release this autumn, but we still don't have enough info about release date in all the Editions.
At last, i can say that this update has made a lot of changes in the game, this might change the way of journey/progress of players, because now players after accessing Stone Tools, they can now also obtain Copper to make Tools and Armour before getting Iron or if they find any difficulty to get iron. Especially the new Copper Golem with Copper Chest makes the most frustration work easy for players, now we may stop worrying about the mess in our chests until we have Copper Golems. And i guess this is the Most Useful Update we got after a very long time in Minecraft.
What are your thoughts on this update? do you guys think i'ts good especially the update on Copper? or it's still not that useful for us. Let us know your opinion in the comments and thanks for reading and visiting out site!
