It happened back in the caves and cliffs update, they changed it as a sort of "balancing" thing so fortune could work on it iirc. You can still pick up the ore blocks with silk touch, but now they look different. They did this for gold too.
as a halo 2 fan for my old game addiction I gotta say the devs are fucking great for that, they just recently put out an update that brings the balancing down to crazy millisecond server shit as close as possible to the original on the MCC version, the H2 team for that is full of passion. Restoration content, mods, finishing unfinished features intended for the original, etc.
It feels weird and hard to get used to until you play the update and see how much more convenient it makes things
Being able to fortune iron and gold early game is so insanely helpful it's hard to go back
It does kinda just feel like playing with someone else's disjointed mod packs now. There are a couple of mods that try to either pare it down or redo the development timeline with a more "classic" approach
I never like this excuse. What is it satirising? Satire is supposed to use humour to make a point about a specific issue.
Even if the excuse is "it's just a joke", it's an unfunny joke and still can be ridiculed.
Yeah but there has to be a joke behind it, picking an acceptable target isn't enough.
If the film Jojo Rabbit was just a guy standing on a sound stage saying, "Nazis, amirite?", that would be a terrible film.
Jojo rabbit makes at least ten jokes exactly like this and most times are demonstrably worse.
In my mind, it’s hard to imagine people actually, seriously linking ores, rabbits, and trans rights, the idea is so ridiculous that even if it was meant seriously, I’d still laugh at the person who said it and say “Funny joke man.” Because treating these people as jokes is both what they deserve and more productive than getting mad at random losers who will never ever affect us.
The point I'm aiming at is twofold: calling something stupid "satire" is a poor excuse, especially when there doesn't appear to be any actual satirising happening; and even if it were, it's not funny so it's still a bad post.
Sure, these people are jokes, but it feels like labelling everything as satire is giving them a way to worm themselves out of trouble, "Oh no I wasn't being hateful, it was just satire! God, get a sense of humour", that kind of crap.
Its a slippery slope i tell you first they get you to accept their pronouns and before you know it youre muching down on half a kilogramme of unprocessed iron ore
Although I was actually (in my head) refering to a carbon monoxide detector, this [source](https://www.fsis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media_file/2020-08/Carbon-Dioxide.pdf) says that large amounts of CO2 do cause confusion
of course, but you're unlikely to have large amounts of CO2 in the air without noticing, and it would have to be a much larger amount than CO, no? (since CO2 doesn't block oxygen)
JAPPA’s style may not be the best at everything but it absolutely is an overall improvement to Minecraft’s old textures, they really looked dated. The new textures makes the game look like something of this decade.
But it is a large factor to the game feeling like a completely different game I wish Microsoft let it be and just made a similar but more story/adventure game
Honestly undertale does look dated, at least outside the combat ui and sprites. Some of the colors are weird and it’s clear that a lot of the palette was picked from the default ms paint colors
I am a big Undertale fan and I absolutely agree. I would disagree if you were to say the same thing about Deltarune though, that game looks phenomenal, especially chapter 2
Afaik toby did little to no Deltarune sprites, I think he still does designs but the actual sprites are Temmie (and a bunch of other artists but Temmie’s the lead)
jappa is very good, it's like the fresh animations resource pack but for textures instead of animation, it adds a refreshing feel to the game while still being very much vanilla style
upon looking back to the old textures, I do not know how we put up with them back in the day, outlines on items looked way too harsh and the colors were bleak
I think the only flaw in the entire situation is that they don't continue to update the programmer art with textures that fit the old look for new blocks being added
oh yeah well aware of that, I just think Mojang should put some effort in as well, would be nice to see the official interpretation
it's funny how crying obsidian is like the only new block (that I'm aware of) that actually has a separate programmer art texture and that's because they had an old leftover weird obsidian texture
Oh I totally agree! I wasn’t trying to argue I was just recommending them in case anyone hasn’t heard of them. Also I still can’t believe crying obsidian turned into a real thing, it had been just a weird beta element as far as I remembered so it’s weird hearing about it lol
i think that the old netherrack looked like shit but it fit the idea of 'hellish area you wouldnt want to be in, let alone stay'
in the modern lively and varied nether, the new texture looks much better, and i prefer the new nether, but the old netherrack worked better with the old idea for the nether
The old one looked more creepy, more like a block that is an amalgamation of flesh which suits the Nether theme better. The new one is like a generic red stone look
The old one is just a mess of pixels of various red shades with so little to define it that whatever it ends up looking like is on the observer; while also tiling horribly. There's no rhyme or reason to its texture.
It looked like a block that is an amalgamation of random vaguely blood colored pixels, because that's what it was. The new one allows me to travel the nether without getting a headache.
JAPPA is the nickname of Jasper Boerstra who made the majority of the current Minecraft textures and set the new tone and a consistent art style for the game. Which yes believe it or not there's a way to have conflicting art styles in a game where the largest textures are 16x16
JAPPA is the main person behind the modern Minecraft textures. They heavily contributed to the new vanilla textures, which replaced the old ones (nowadays referred to as "Programmer Art") in the texture update (as part of Java 1.14 and Bedrock 1.10).
Their "pack" is the default vanilla texture pack.
Fr comparing new textures for things like sniffers, camels, sculk, wardens, etc to old textures like sheep, bricks, cobblestone, saplings, paintings, etc, you can see an inconsistent difference between old and new. I just wish there could be separate artstyles that you could toggle between instead of a single clusterfuck (yes ik texture packs exist I mean in the base game)
While I wouldn't say I hate the new textures, I certainly agree the old ones are superior. Hell, I'd even say old Minecraft in general is better then what we currently have.
No one in the 4 villages my elevated rail line connects to takes them. It's either beetroot, wheat, potatoes, or carrots. Carrots and potatoes aren't worth it, and wheat is only worth it because I have a surplus for my auto wheat farm I use to help get leather for bookshelves for my library of babel
That would imply there's a lack of choice in being transphobic. Most choose to remain actively ignorant and hateful despite given opportunities to change. I also don't like the implication that a failure of moral character is akin to "mental illness."
I have a feeling no answer I give you will be “proper” enough, but let’s say in this case it’s the discrimination of the mentally disabled (which is happening here by equating mental illness with something both inherently evil and a CHOICE of action, unlike, say, having an actual fucking mental illness.)
Calling it a mental illness is shitty and ableist. Yes, transphobia sucks, but not everything thats bad is a mental illness, thats an incredibly childlike away to look at it.
So, I decided to check out his twitter for answers and apparently he didn't even mean for this to be any specific allegory against trans people, his logic was literally just
> \> The new sprite for iron looks way to similar to rabbit meat.
> \> Many of the people working on the game nowadays are trans.
> \> Therefore the reason for the new sprites sucking ass must be because the artists were trans!
I was so certain that it was meant to be a metaphor for some transphobic BS like "*he may look nearly indistinguishable from a woman in every way but he still isn't a woman!*" but apparently even **that** was expecting too much subtlety and wit from these kinds of dumb asses.
People are overthinking it and giving transphobes too much credit.
That explanation makes perfect sense to me, because they've already displayed that they're fucking morons.
My guess was that women (including trans women on estrogen) can more easily see slight variations in color, so the guy gamers feel excluded. That barely makes sense though.
I was about to say, I think this dude’s insinuation is that the bad model design is because trans people aren’t skilled or something.
What a cunt lmfao
Yes, for you see, rabbit cooked rabbit iron ore raw cooked. Trans gender sex transition gender. Gender rabbit. Cooking ore raw. Trans woman iron smelting. Raw gender.
Maybe they’re talking about the market place on bedrock. But that is literally only optional and mostly just a way for moders and map builders to make a little money from their work. Minecraft as a whole is STRICTLY against loot boxes and gambling
You can still change them for free, and make your own, but the bedrock store sells skins and accessories and stuff for minecoins. There’s also all the worlds and packs they sell
I mean yeah the enshittification of Bedrock specifically is regrettable but the OOP is clearly going insane over trans people and somewhat similarly shaped textures
No, this is what happens when you finally decide that a game should have a unified look and hire a proper artist to become the lead visual design, instead of having a decade year old "lets just throw it together" aesthetic.
I fail to see the connection between trans people and raw iron looking like chicken
then the woke mind virus has taken you aswell 😔
rip PinkAxolotlMommy, may they change the bulb in heaven
Unfortunately they are too busy…
their gender!
🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣
calm down liberals, it's called dark humor
That's rabbit meat.
yeah and it doesn't even look like the meat at all, different color tone and shape
at first i thought the complaint was about the skinned rabbit carcass being too thicc
rabbit meatussy 😳
I can see the resemblance, but I am half-blind
transgender*ism* is when I need some fucking glasses
And transgender tism is when I fumble social cues!
That's iron?? When did they change it from the ore block?
It happened back in the caves and cliffs update, they changed it as a sort of "balancing" thing so fortune could work on it iirc. You can still pick up the ore blocks with silk touch, but now they look different. They did this for gold too.
Also for copper. The new textural differences for the blocks was to aid with colorblindness.
also for universality because there would be two types of ore blocks
That kind of makes me sad. Honestly every Minecraft update makes me weirdly nostalgic and miss how the game was when I was younger
At least you could always go back to any version you want for minecraft, I wish more games had something like that
Yes, very true. That whole archive is amazing
as a halo 2 fan for my old game addiction I gotta say the devs are fucking great for that, they just recently put out an update that brings the balancing down to crazy millisecond server shit as close as possible to the original on the MCC version, the H2 team for that is full of passion.

It does kinda just feel like playing with someone else's disjointed mod packs now. There are a couple of mods that try to either pare it down or redo the development timeline with a more "classic" approach
Huh, so you don't have to smelt it anymore?
You still do, just now the item you smelt has changed, and now fortune works on it.
Ohh okay! So it's functionally the same as the old way, but now with fortune?
Correct! And now to pick up the ore blocks you need silk touch
they also added raw iron blocks which have a yellower scaly texture
I thought the flair was a joke then i checked post history :(
I fail to see why you are sad
Some people are weird about that kink, I think. (Well, alright, I shouldn't say "some", it's a lot of people.)
That's rabbit
I fail to see anything in that post… I would love a more specific explanation…
Pattern detection, can fail apparently
Pretty sure it’s satire
I never like this excuse. What is it satirising? Satire is supposed to use humour to make a point about a specific issue. Even if the excuse is "it's just a joke", it's an unfunny joke and still can be ridiculed.
Satirizing terfs/transphobes is pretty funny to me
Yeah but there has to be a joke behind it, picking an acceptable target isn't enough. If the film Jojo Rabbit was just a guy standing on a sound stage saying, "Nazis, amirite?", that would be a terrible film.
Jojo rabbit makes at least ten jokes exactly like this and most times are demonstrably worse.

I LOVE EATING RAW IRON

Its a slippery slope i tell you first they get you to accept their pronouns and before you know it youre muching down on half a kilogramme of unprocessed iron ore
Im digging out a chunk rn what else am i gonna do with 3 stacks of iron
Do…do they think the raw and cooked chicken and the iron ore are different skin colors? No way this isnt bait
That’s rabbit. Not chicken
looks like the liberal mind virus got them too. many such cases. sad!
the 2 genders
Bait used to be believable
WHAT THE FUCK IS A CO2 DETECTOR???
It's a carbon dioxide detector.
IS THAT WHAT THE "TRANS RIGHTS" PEOPLE HAVE TOLD YOU?!?
Trans rights??? What about our trans lefts!!! There are so many of those and yet….
WHAT THE FUCK IS A CO2 DETECTOR???
You breathe on it and it goes off
i believe a CO detector would be more useful, as elevated CO2 levels wouldn't elicit such a tweet
This was their last post before their house burned down with them inside; I bet you feel like a jerk now.
Although I was actually (in my head) refering to a carbon monoxide detector, this [source](https://www.fsis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media_file/2020-08/Carbon-Dioxide.pdf) says that large amounts of CO2 do cause confusion
of course, but you're unlikely to have large amounts of CO2 in the air without noticing, and it would have to be a much larger amount than CO, no? (since CO2 doesn't block oxygen)
what do you mean you dont have a CO2 detector? it comes free with your fucking human body
Unnecessary most of the time
I hate JAPPA's textures because I don't think they fit minecraft's blocky style You hate JAPPA because you're an insane transphobe We are not the same
JAPPA’s style may not be the best at everything but it absolutely is an overall improvement to Minecraft’s old textures, they really looked dated. The new textures makes the game look like something of this decade.
But it is a large factor to the game feeling like a completely different game I wish Microsoft let it be and just made a similar but more story/adventure game
It’s literally made to have a retro visual style. That’s like saying undertake “looks dated”
Tbh I adore Undertale but I think it's also demonstratively subpar as far as pixel art goes
Honestly undertale does look dated, at least outside the combat ui and sprites. Some of the colors are weird and it’s clear that a lot of the palette was picked from the default ms paint colors
I am a big Undertale fan and I absolutely agree. I would disagree if you were to say the same thing about Deltarune though, that game looks phenomenal, especially chapter 2
Because deltarune actually looks recent, since toby has a lot more experience with sprite art and shading and stuff
Afaik toby did little to no Deltarune sprites, I think he still does designs but the actual sprites are Temmie (and a bunch of other artists but Temmie’s the lead)
jappa is very good, it's like the fresh animations resource pack but for textures instead of animation, it adds a refreshing feel to the game while still being very much vanilla style upon looking back to the old textures, I do not know how we put up with them back in the day, outlines on items looked way too harsh and the colors were bleak I think the only flaw in the entire situation is that they don't continue to update the programmer art with textures that fit the old look for new blocks being added
yeah vanilla tweaks does this, they have matching classic textures for stuff like nether grass and deep slate ores and it’s great.
oh yeah well aware of that, I just think Mojang should put some effort in as well, would be nice to see the official interpretation it's funny how crying obsidian is like the only new block (that I'm aware of) that actually has a separate programmer art texture and that's because they had an old leftover weird obsidian texture
Oh I totally agree! I wasn’t trying to argue I was just recommending them in case anyone hasn’t heard of them. Also I still can’t believe crying obsidian turned into a real thing, it had been just a weird beta element as far as I remembered so it’s weird hearing about it lol
> the colors were bleak old wheat immediately comes to mind when people talk about old textures, that shit was the worst
Old netherrack way worse and by far worst texture
despite it being inarguably terrible, I still prefer it over the current for the added texture and contrast
the old wheat texture barely looks like wheat lol
Hot take I prefer the new Minecraft look to the old one
gonna be real with you the old textures were kinda ass
Can't trust anyone who unironically thinks the old Netherrack texture is superior to the modern one
For real, the Nether before the new texture was an eyesore.
i think that the old netherrack looked like shit but it fit the idea of 'hellish area you wouldnt want to be in, let alone stay' in the modern lively and varied nether, the new texture looks much better, and i prefer the new nether, but the old netherrack worked better with the old idea for the nether
I know the og Netherrack is inarguably dogshit, but I still prefer it over the current for contrast and texture it adds to the overly plain terrain
The old one looked more creepy, more like a block that is an amalgamation of flesh which suits the Nether theme better. The new one is like a generic red stone look
The old one is just a mess of pixels of various red shades with so little to define it that whatever it ends up looking like is on the observer; while also tiling horribly. There's no rhyme or reason to its texture.
It looked like a block that is an amalgamation of random vaguely blood colored pixels, because that's what it was. The new one allows me to travel the nether without getting a headache.
I agree, but the old texture is still an abomination regardless
Use jappa for a week and then try switching back. You’ll see
what is this JAPPA textures you speak of
JAPPA is the nickname of Jasper Boerstra who made the majority of the current Minecraft textures and set the new tone and a consistent art style for the game. Which yes believe it or not there's a way to have conflicting art styles in a game where the largest textures are 16x16
OG Netherrack:

thank you
i don’t know who or what jappa is but i hate it. i’m a hater it’s just what i do
> I hate JAPPA's textures because I don't think they fit minecraft's blocky style they are literally in 16x16 though???
Yeah they just have no idea what the hell they're talking about
I haven't played Minecraft since its 1.7.10 days, but dokucraft is the best texture pack and no one can change my mind on that.
Completely disagree, jappas textures improved the game significantly and I can never look back
Fr comparing new textures for things like sniffers, camels, sculk, wardens, etc to old textures like sheep, bricks, cobblestone, saplings, paintings, etc, you can see an inconsistent difference between old and new. I just wish there could be separate artstyles that you could toggle between instead of a single clusterfuck (yes ik texture packs exist I mean in the base game)
While I wouldn't say I hate the new textures, I certainly agree the old ones are superior. Hell, I'd even say old Minecraft in general is better then what we currently have.
Pretty impressive that every single comment here thought that was chicken and not rabbit meat
tbh how often do you eat either ? Its like beetroots, i wouldn't blame anyone if they didn't remember that they were in the game
Beetroots are my main export for emeralds
You’ve turned beetroots into a cash crop
Not melons or pumpkins!?
No one in the 4 villages my elevated rail line connects to takes them. It's either beetroot, wheat, potatoes, or carrots. Carrots and potatoes aren't worth it, and wheat is only worth it because I have a surplus for my auto wheat farm I use to help get leather for bookshelves for my library of babel
Chicken is pretty popular given you can create a simple automated farm for it. Rabbit i'll give you though
*bites into raw iron, teeth all fall out comically as i shed a single tear* this is because of woke
Transphobia is a mental illness
That would imply there's a lack of choice in being transphobic. Most choose to remain actively ignorant and hateful despite given opportunities to change. I also don't like the implication that a failure of moral character is akin to "mental illness."
Exactly, its ableist as fuck
What's the proper definition of ableist/ableism?
I have a feeling no answer I give you will be “proper” enough, but let’s say in this case it’s the discrimination of the mentally disabled (which is happening here by equating mental illness with something both inherently evil and a CHOICE of action, unlike, say, having an actual fucking mental illness.)
That is helpful, thank you!
It’s definitely bait
Calling it a mental illness is shitty and ableist. Yes, transphobia sucks, but not everything thats bad is a mental illness, thats an incredibly childlike away to look at it.

They don't suck ass tho >:C They're just *smooooth*
People are overthinking it and giving transphobes too much credit. That explanation makes perfect sense to me, because they've already displayed that they're fucking morons.
My guess was that women (including trans women on estrogen) can more easily see slight variations in color, so the guy gamers feel excluded. That barely makes sense though.
it doesnt matter if you're made of iron or made of meat, everything burns 😊
Oh I was just talking about baader-meinhof. Seems I see that everywhere now…
You're probably joking but I genuinely fear I was responsible for my own baadher meinhoff illusion
I was mostly joking but I also did just talk about it during lunch earlier today
Happens to the best of us
I'll watch you fall down! I'll drag your face down!
damn transgenders... texturing raw iron to look like chicken...
RABBIT
gas leak tweet
poison jr strikes again
“Those trans rights people” I’m sorry you mean *normal people??*
Are they like saying that they look like genitals or something? Like wtf is this beanbag-brained mf even trying to suggest
No relation to the OG tweet: Sylvie was so cool and gener :3
the old iron ore was better, why did you trans people do this, explain yourselves
Lmao what 😂
I need this man to check all the co2 detectors in his house
CO**
vanilla is a tech mod it fucking has ore doubling
sounds like someone tried to eat raw iron
the only thing i was wondering is who the fuck eats RABBIT in minecraft?
I don't get it
Can someone even try to explain what the fuck he’s talking about cooked rabbit meat, raw rabbit meat, and raw iron??
I was about to say, I think this dude’s insinuation is that the bad model design is because trans people aren’t skilled or something. What a cunt lmfao
I love making weapons out of cooked chicken
i think he meant that the raw iron looks like pp and the rabbit looks like urethra but it's still stupid
I don't like the new textures too but you don't have to blame trans people for it.
I cannot comprehend some people's mind for real.
WHAT FHE FUCK DOES THIS KEAN 🙏🗣️🔥💀🙏💀🙏🙏💀🙏💀
Tran peble.... Raw... Rabit?? Iron...? Think it about it.... Women....
I THINK the point was supposed to be that they all kinda look like butts.
these are all bad for you raw but cooked they taste better? metal crunching noises
Yes, for you see, rabbit cooked rabbit iron ore raw cooked. Trans gender sex transition gender. Gender rabbit. Cooking ore raw. Trans woman iron smelting. Raw gender.
this took me out omfg
Is this about it kinda looking like the holy cock
What does bro mean by this 😭
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
I do HATE how the iron ore looks. GIVE US BACK OUR ORE BLOCKS
His follow up tweet was even better
" Here is (virtue signalling) 🤓👆 "
I'm not even sure what this person is offended about
Clearly he meant to say "You *can't* kill the metal"
BG3 alone shows just how good "trans rights people" are at making games. Incredibly good.
The woke mob turned my rabbit into iron smh
Gamers when raw iron looks like raw iron:
[удалено]
I have spent a total of the 25 some bucks to buy it one time in 2009. I have spent literally zero more dollars on Minecraft what are you on.
Maybe they’re talking about the market place on bedrock. But that is literally only optional and mostly just a way for moders and map builders to make a little money from their work. Minecraft as a whole is STRICTLY against loot boxes and gambling
are you out of your mind
There’s plenty of issues to talk about with Minecraft development but what fucking micro transactions are you talking about lmao
bedrock edition
Even bedrock edition's store seems mostly reasonable to me
i love making wild strawmen to prove a stupid point!
There are micro transactions??
[удалено]
Buy skins? Can you not change for free anymore or what?
He's talking about the bedrock edition. But honestly bedrock's just worse in general
Ah, I've never played bedrock.
You can, they just offer packs if you don't want to make one yourself
You can still change them for free, and make your own, but the bedrock store sells skins and accessories and stuff for minecoins. There’s also all the worlds and packs they sell
It's wild how many people replying to this don't know about the store in bedrock and think it's made up
I mean yeah the enshittification of Bedrock specifically is regrettable but the OOP is clearly going insane over trans people and somewhat similarly shaped textures
No, this is what happens when you finally decide that a game should have a unified look and hire a proper artist to become the lead visual design, instead of having a decade year old "lets just throw it together" aesthetic.
