the only issue is that they'd have to spend time adding this

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

Even though it isn't much effort, it's a lot for a change that nobody would ever notice unless they intentionally go for it in a lobby game

marvelOP4 weeks ago

yeah, i feel like it's similar to the bottle o' enchanting suggestion they implemented

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

That at least is a visible change every time that goal is shown

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

There's just no way this ever happens in a ranked game

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

And changing a name is easier than adding an additional way to complete a goal, even if it's still easy

sam4 weeks ago

this could def happen considering green sheep

Sly4 weeks ago

but doesnt green sheep filter for warm biomes anyway?

sam4 weeks ago

sometimes you leave desert and don't go back

Pythoria4 weeks ago

i dont think this is how the game works tho?

Pythoria4 weeks ago

doesnt it still maintain the colour it had before

Pythoria4 weeks ago

say if you shear it

Pythoria4 weeks ago

if it was a black sheep it should still give black wool afaik

1

sam4 weeks ago

it's a bit silly so im unsure. i will note tho that the sheep is green

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

yes, the color shifting is just a visual effect but the game still considers it to be whatever color it was before naming

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

So this could be added but then the goal would have to separately detect for the player killing both (as an example) green or jeb_ sheep

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

Ig it could matter then, but you should've grabbed a single cactus before leaving the desert.

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

So the only case where it might matter is saving people who made a mistake earlier, and even then only if there's another anvil goal otherwise death resetting back to spawn is probably faster.

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

It feels somewhat like counting Dinnerbone mobs separately for unique hostiles. Visually those also look very different from their normal counterparts, but the game still considers them to be whatever they were originally.

sam4 weeks ago

Not necessarily true depending on early game goals and cactus placement, but also you could’ve spawned 4 chunks away from desert and the line was the other way

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

I guess

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

So maybe it could be faster if you already need a jeb_ sheep

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

Otherwise i'm still not convinced there's any realistic scenario where you have 31 iron extra to spend on an anvil faster than you could've doubled back in the midgame and than dying to get back to spawn.

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

There's also the separate issue of this being completely non-vanilla.

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

And would it only count when the sheep is the correct color, or could you kill a "pink" jeb_ sheep and get the goal for killing a yellow sheep? If it is the same color would it have to be exact or could it be any yellowish shade counts as yellow? Idk if detecting the current display color of a jeb sheep is even possible.

marvelOP4 weeks ago

there are naturally generating anvils, it's NOT impossible

marvelOP4 weeks ago

just being named jeb_ would count for all

Ｂｒｅａｄ4 weeks ago

why is there a serious discussion on this

Ｂｒｅａｄ4 weeks ago

its for aura colonb

1

marvelOP4 weeks ago

idk

marvelOP4 weeks ago

i just think it'd be funny

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

I don't think "it'd be funny" is a good enough reason to add mechanics that nobody could ever use unless they read the patch notes.

marvelOP4 weeks ago

i do because you can use it

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

it does

marvelOP4 weeks ago

what's the drawback

marvelOP4 weeks ago

what are the consequences threadfinn

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

Why would you ever name a sheep jeb_ without knowing this change was added

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

personally i think it's fun

1

3

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

it is true the consequences are minimal since it's a useless enough change

marvelOP4 weeks ago

i just think it would be a whimsy change

marvelOP4 weeks ago

whimsical

marvelOP4 weeks ago

make people think about it and try to do it

Threadfinn4 weeks ago(edited)

what would the goal names be? "kill X colored or jeb_ named sheep"?

marvelOP4 weeks ago

i don't think you change the goal name

marvelOP4 weeks ago

it's just an easter egg change

marvelOP4 weeks ago

like a once in a blue moon type of moment

Ｂｒｅａｄ4 weeks ago

those who knows type of change

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

twk

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

A better easter egg would be that obtaining a recovery compass means you instantly win the game. There's already clues, the icon is a recovery compass.

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

Maybe this is already real, who knows

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

i think that's a bit too far

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

Ok maybe

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

What about "Obtain Polished Andesite"?

Threadfinn4 weeks ago(edited)

(not granted upon obtaining polished Andesite item, actual requirement is normal Andesite renamed to AutomattPLUS)

Pythoria4 weeks ago

its not

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

I just don't think there should be non vanilla Easter eggs that can only discovered in #updates-maintenances

marvelOP4 weeks ago

it's a game all about niche knowledge

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

Niche Minecraft knowledge

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

Not niche mod knowledge

marvelOP4 weeks ago

threadfinn is a whimsy hater..

Threadfinn4 weeks ago

I just don't like this whimsy

Pythoria4 weeks ago

i dont like it either cause thats just not what coloured means

Pythoria4 weeks ago

its relating to the dye used

maskers4 weeks ago

i like the idea, also then remove biome requirements from green/cyan/brown (im assuming they exist rn?), but

maskers4 weeks ago

hm what if the goal icon was cycling between the colored sheep and the jeb sheep

Ｂｒｅａｄ4 weeks ago

cycling jeb sounds nice but what its early game slop but i forgot the color and i look atboard and its just jeb_ doid

maskers4 weeks ago

getting an anvil could totally be easier than finding a cactus so it wouldn't just be a random unused easter egg

spicedspaghetti4 weeks ago

well it would be cool, but then it would have to be included in the goal description

spicedspaghetti4 weeks ago

so its not just mod knowledge

maskers4 weeks ago

DriftSythe4 weeks ago

I think that just makes the kill coloured sheep goal more confusing

DriftSythe4 weeks ago

there’s no reason to have it cycle when the way the goal will be obtained is like 999-1

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

tbh i think it's fine if it's not mentioned anywhere

1

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

maybe draftout could have loading screen tips somewhere, like how ranked has them when the match loads

3

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

that'd be a good way to hint at it without being overbearing

marvelOP4 weeks ago

that's SUCH a good idea

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

i'll make a suggestion for it if i can come up with a few examples

noura 🜛4 weeks ago

but yeah wildcard jeb sheep can be a hidden thing

make jeb_ sheep kill count for kill any color sheep
