I post many updates of my current projects on my twitter so feel free to have a look!

Bonus concept at 8:21 Let me know what you think!
It's a pretty cool concept, I imagine that this could also be used to push objects like boats or mine carts, or even entities and mobs. Additionally, the strength of the vibration could also vary depending on the distance of the player from the object.
what about a charged up knockback blast?
Have you ever thought of creating a mod with all your ideas? It would be awesome.
Hey Blockixel! what do you think of the newly introduced Echo shards? it's a deep dark crystal, would love to see any concepts you come up with involving them.
one block at a timeeeee
I'm so bummed that you aren't getting more views, the amount of work you put into these is astonishing
They used to get hundreds of thousands of views. They became less and less minecraft-y, but also, he split the videos into two, light mode and dark mode, also splitting the views in half.
he does on lightmode tho
Frankly, it's impressive he has what he has. Some people have probably been doing CZcams for far longer than his year and probably still don't get this many views per video. Very few would have gotten more than 10, let alone thousands of subscribers from their first video alone.
Don't get me wrong, this is still very high quality, so it does feel like content from a channel that does get more views, but in perspective, I'm not really bummed that the view count is not infinity.
I completely agree
probably because nothing he covers in these videos actually exists and so its pretty much pointless and uninformative to watch.
I do feel like minecraft needs more shields. Maybe like reinforced shields or shields you can hit with.
Amethist shields is very interesting because add a equipment made with amethyst, a thing that dont exist yet
knowing the amount of different shield irl it surprises me that mojang hasnt at least mentioned the idea. consider this:
sarrisa shield. It takes up the offhand slot and you are unable to raise it, however the shield itself adds extra protection by either reducing the amount of incoming dmg and effectively acting as extra armour and/or (havent decided which one) having a chance to completely block the hit. it is innefective against ranged projectiles.
heater shield or kite shield. The ability to block while on horseback is removed for the normal shield and instead you have to use the new shield, either you can make both the heater shield and the kite shield and they both have some kind of difference in either durability or smth else (idk im not a game designer but mojang are). in terms of downsides it has less durability and has less protection while off of horseback (either you can get struck in the legs or the protective "cone" is smaller (its hard to explain without visuals). alternatively arrows might have a chance to not get blocked by it. also i suggest that for this to actualy be useful we buff horses so horse armour is easier to get and also make it hitting somebody with your weapon while on horseback increases damage and knockback by a lot. like twice the damage seeing as youre probably only gonna get a couple hits off at most before your target either shoots you from range, build something to stop your charge, or escape to safety.
there are other things that could get added like leather shields that have abysmal durability but only require leather and sticks. but if im being honest im really just scratching the surface. i mean imagine how much more depth we could add to the game if we added extra weapons and mechanics. things like more stuff for horses like lances for charging. also more weapons like spears and maces, maybe even play around with armour like making chainmail weak to arrows or adding in heavy plate that reduces your speed or makes swimming a pain. make the heavy plate resistant to arrows so shields become practicaly useless. and also just give horses some love please like my god theive barely receaved any new content in years even tho theire so good please mojang just let me perform cavalry charges on pillagers with my friends i beg you.
I had an idea for copper shields and you would surround a shield with copper ingots. The shield would allow you to boost yourself forwards or upwards. And if you boosted into a player it would deal 4 hearts. To upgrade the copper shield you could combine a copper ingot with an axe and get chipped copper to upgrade your copper shield. This would add spikes to the shield and be able to break blocks and deal more damage to a player (6 hearts) so in a way it would make the shield even more op.
A bashing Shield would be cool like you can charge at mobs or push a mob back
@@chazzistheman When I think of a shield bash I think of the shield bashes in Skyrim. Low-damage, close-range attacks that stagger enemies, causing a brief stun period. However, since Minecraft doesn't have Skyrim's stamina system, you'd have to have either a built-in cooldown or a massive durability cost on the shield in order to make it so you couldn't indefinitely stun a mob.
The sad thing about the treasure glove is that it goes against Mojang's "One Block at a Time" design philosophy, which is why 3x3 mining tools have been rejected.
The treasure glove doesn't mine things, just turns normal stone into gravel
@@MC_CN which is still "something affecting more blocks than one"
@@groveri2 the sculk catalyst also affects more than one block when it spreads sculk.
TNT??????????
@@steyrcolt8669 TNT is far older than this design philosophy.
They also don't want players' buildings being destroyed by chance, yet lighting exists because it predates _that_ philosophy.
Dude, low key some of the best quality videos on youtube, sooooo worth the wait.
Agree
I just thought of an idea for copper that I think would be a nice usage of it- locks and keys. It functions just like the existing minecraft code that allows doors and chests to be locked with commands, but you can craft it and click it onto the block you want, then turning the item into a key in the same slot it was in when you used it. (Like how emptying a water bucket will leave the bucket in your hand). ONLY that key will pair to that block now, and if you want to remove the lock then just left click the lock with the key. Sure it has the drawback of not being able lose the key or else you can't open the chest, but breaking the chest/door is still an option, which isn't a problem because a player could just break down the wall of your house if they wanted in badly enough, so it's not like the lock is much aside from a mild annoyance to intruders.
Blockixle Artistry in 2020: "how might the warden act?"
Blockixle Artistry in 2022: "AMETHYST DISPENSERS! AMETHYST SHIELDS! AMETHYST GRAPPLING HOOKS! AMETHYST EVERYTHING!!!"
AMETHYST WARDEN?!?
AMETHYST STEVE!?!??!
AMETHYST SPYGLASS?!
oh wait...
@@thishandlefeaturesucks lol
AMETHYST AMETHYST?!?!1?
Wait wh-
I’d honestly love a mod with all of Blockixel’s concepts.
i was thinking exactly the same... i even try to find if anybody was actually developing anything like that... sadly, there isn´t :c
well I've been working on a bedrock edition addon to add all these features. I have all the models and animations so now all I need to do is code it all
@@patchythefox5112 Noice?
@@patchythefox5112 Same but for java edition. I bet there are plenty of modders making mods with these ideas but they just haven't released them yet. I also heard that Blockixel wanted to learn how to create minecraft mods if he had the spare time.
@@takfsg40 Ok. Well, the mod was going to be for bedrock edition because that's the only version I know how to mod XD
With regards to the amethyst monocle:
-could use echo shards instead of amethysts to give them more of a use
-should take up the helmet slot to nerf it
-maybe rather than showing where the diamonds are, it would simply beep louder and louder whenever you get near them, like a metal detector
I agree with all of this. My only concern is players who are hearing impaired or deaf. Relying on audio cues might exclude certain players from using the monocle effectively.
It makes more sense to me for the cue to be visual, considering it is a monocle. But I also like your idea of the crafting recipe using echo shards, which conflicts with this since most of the materials from the deep dark are tied to sounds/vibrations. So there’s logic and consistency in the cues from the monocle being auditory.
Good ideas.
@@justsomefatass I'm thinking about some some arrow like waves particles appearing on the direction where the sound's coming from. Like a visual indicator.
@@ThyFloorestFloor This makes a lot more sense. Using a combination of mostly visuals and audio as cues to signal to players where nearby ores are is a solid compromise. Or using something visual to /represent/ vibrations - similar to how the skulk sensor already is when it relays detection. Kind of like how the Warden’s chest projectile attack looks visually. That’s a really good idea and fits in quite nicely with how skulk/the Deep Dark is already presented in the game.
@@justsomefatass Thanks, That would be an awesome feature.
No. Trash idea
Your animations are very high quality and with such nice detail. The ideas are also really good which makes sense in the context of mojang's updates. But anyways, I just wanted to say to keep up the good work!
I love your videos. the amethyst stuff reminds me a lot of things like the Create mod, or some magic mods. changes that mojang themselves are unlikely to make, but that seem like a natural extension of minecraft mechanics at the same time.
I'm sure you're told you should make these into mods all the time, but I'd love to see your ideas made into a mod myself.
I really don't think the create mod is vanilla
These are actually very good concepts. They add a sense of urgency to the things that you do in the game, while not necessarily making it a prerequisite for survival Minecraft. These ideas put a good emphasis on pre-existing content, as well as the content coming to the game. These new layers of interaction make the game actually seem interesting and worth playing to a degree, instead of hurting the gameplay with random new junk that otherwise wouldn't have improved gameplay on its own.
I like the idea how combat here isn’t entirely based around the strongest armor and sword/axe with the best enchantments. This seems like a more speedy approach which sounds complex but when mastered it can be hella cool and fun to pull off
I like it when you play with this most magical concept in the game, especially with this block that has few uses like copper and I still prefer copper golem than the winner
The whole concept of a "dark mode" version of your videos is genuinely such a thoughtful and wonderful thing in terms of accessibility, especially for those with poor vision. Gargantuan props for that. Genuinely, thank you.
You are so underated lol, I was thinking to myself a while back huh what happened to that channel with the light and dark modes then I saw this! It's a small change but it really sets you apart from everyone else, plus this animation is awesome!!!
We should start gofundme for him to hire a dev to create a mod pack with all (or most of) his concepts
Idea Suggestion: Hay Golem - a helpful farming companion who can help with gathering food.
XD funnily the target practice dummies by Pillager outposts are often jokingly called Hay Golems
Farmer villager: am I a joke?
This are amazing ideas, yet I doubt that mojang would put all those features of the shield like the burst or sparkling sword thingy, since they go too much into superpowers or like rpg abilities(meaning too magical for mc) but I think a double jump could work in minecraft but with the echo shards to craft maybe a object like a piece of armor or something held in your off hand so not to make it overpowered like the shield in which you can both block and escape too easily. But the warden idea is magnificient and should totally be added to make the warden more terrifying, maybe even making it break blocks or transform them into easily breakable blocks or even gravity blocks so that you can't simply skyblock your way into the deep cities
I don't know if the shield dashing would be added. That and the shockwave back seem like a bit too much. Though a double jump would be interesting and unique.
The jump boost effect would need a buff if that were the case though (still needs a buff currently imo)
A double jump feature on a shield? Have you lost your mind? The tridents felt too much before it was introduced so I'll have my shockwave shield any chance i get
@@yungjose3369
I feel like the shockwave was a stranger idea than the shield jump. Though I get what you mean by riptide still feeling like a mod. This would only boost you a few blocks for exploration. Riptide literally sends you into the sky.
@@rolay7730 double jumping with a shield is strange enough how does a shield let you jump higher? we have jump boost already so that would make that potion even more useless not to mention horses, donkeys, elytra's, and riptide all make you go up higher a shield dash would make more sense it would just be a short dash getting you ahead a couple of blocks protecting you from damage allowing you to plow right through small groups of enemys we have enough ways to get up a few blocks plus you can just build up
@@supernova5934
I agree that jump boost is pretty useless, but I would argue that is a bigger problem with potions. Plus, jump boost is only half a block per level. That is not nearly enough to be useful. I have it on a beacon in my main world because it is permanent. The only time I remember I have it at my base is when I am near fences. It is not useful any other time. Plus, the potion could work on the shield jump as well. Making for an interesting combo that actually could be useful because it isn't just half a block.
As for the rest of your criticism, you can't really use horses, donkeys, elytra's, or riptide casually in a cave. The animals need more space, and that isn't even close to how elytra's work. Unless you have fireworks, but even then, you need some space, and if the spot you want is only a few blocks up, you will absolutely overshoot it and hit a wall on the way back down. I guess you could have a bucket with you for riptide and just mine back down to get the water back, but that is a terrible solution.
So no, most of the solutions you suggested wouldn't work in a situation where a large double jump would be useful. Plus in the nether you can't get water so riptide is useless. I was thinking of something I could use in the basalt deltas and other spaces where blasting off with a firework means charging directly into a wall and falling into the lava.
This is so good, I feel like there isn’t enough of an incentive to go to the deep dark and this would fit perfectly.
Though if this was added maybe there would be some kind of downside like slower movement speed and/or a more narrow window if directions you can block and maybe add more tiers of the regular shield such as diamond or netherite so as to not make one item the objective best, i think any combat system is much more fun when there is no objective best weapon/weapons
I've never seen a channel with this light mode - dark mode concept. Its very interesting
An idea for a type of crystal shield made of diamonds or amethyst is an idea I’ve thought about. Another way to carry it out is have the shield perfectly deflect ranged attacks at an increased velocity. An arrow kits the shield and boom the skeleton is missing a few joints. Other than that the crystal shield idea would just be a shield with much higher durability.
especially with the new warden attack, this vibration thing could be absolutely amazing
this needs to be sent to the devs. i think it is a perfect use of amethyst, unique deep dark treasure, and a new shield form. obviously not every part of this would be balanced in gameplay, but the main idea would be a great addition
One of the most beautiful treasures I've found on the internet.
The world is so beautiful and full of so many talented passionate people :')
I like the idea of the amethyst shield but it having all these capabilities simultaneously by default is a bit insane. I think giving it enchantments similar to the way tridents work would be cool.
Yeah but only for some of the effects, maybe the burst is innate while the jump etc are enchants
That glove turning stone into gravel is a unique and fun concept! Now I want this in either a mod or vanilla
This is so extremely well animated and I genuinely love your channel, I look forward to seeing what else you make
Feels alot like a dungeon type of game, where you learn magic and other things. I love the concept.
There is so much effort in all of these animations!
Firstly, this concept is extremely good! Secondly, “Sparkling Amethyst Sword” sounds like it’s straight from an anime and I love it lol
These videos are amazing. I just encountered your channel and it’s high quality makes me engaged and curious about what will happen next. Im looking forward to your new content and concepts! Amazing content!
You might want to revise the amethyst stuff that's based on vibrations to use echo shards instead as the skulk is more the vibration related stuff while amethyst seems more to revolve around light (plus the echo shard is currently only used for one recipe and would make for a good base for general skulk recipes)
I've never heard of a channel being considerate enough to have a light and dark mode of the same video!
The content you put out is actually insane. Not just the visuals but the ideas themself as well
Great job!
These concepts sound awesome, Id love to see a mod filled with all your ideas. Also your art and animation is extremely well done!
what about a new shield concept from the new snapshot called the echo shards where crafting it with the shield becomes an echo shard shield called "the echo shield" as the name suggests the shield causes an echo when it's stunned it makes a high pitch noise that makes the mobs in a 5 block radius stunned, making it useful when the warden is locked on to you, or if you are in a bastion with piglin brutes
An idea that this gives me is possibly making something similar with the armor trim system. Perhaps by making a craft-able item with similar functions to a template, to allow for something with similar function to the shield to be applies to armor. Perhaps doing something like either speeding up the charging process, or acting as defense from certain types of attacks.
1. Extremely well thought out and rational ideas that aren't too mod like
2. Well animated video clearly explaining a pretty complex idea
3. Dark mode videos
Easiest insta sub in my life.
Also, the Treasure glove could also have some very potent PvP applications. If used against a player charging at you, you could use it to not only send them flying, but also heavily damage their armour and shield. You could also steal the charge from an opponent's amethyst shield to fuel your glove
I really really really love that you make dark mode videos, very easy on the eyes all times of day!
I love these videos they're so interesting, the added layer of the animation makes it even better! keep up the good work!
How is this not something official from Mojang... It looks so professional
One thing that bugs me about this concept is that in the hypothetical where this were in ALL versions, it may be a little too complex for bedrock. Not to mention it’s a whole lot more complex than anything ever introduced (perhaps make the shield only have double jump and one other action). Just my opinion though. Keep up the good work and great animations.
I'd love to see what this would look like in the first person view, i.e the GUI and the keybinds so we can get a full picture of what this would look like ingame, also great job on the concept.
Love the new concepts, keep up the good work.
Gotta watch both light and dark mode to show support ^^
Your explanations + animations are always so great
Dam i really loved the idea, and the animation combined with the explanation is really good and makes it easier to understand. Really good job!!! :D
I've never heard of a light and dark mode version of a video, as soon as I heard you say that I instantly subscribed. Thank you for the amazing quality content
I absolutely love this concept! Keep up the good work this kinda stuff is so cool :D!
This such a cool idea and the textures really look like they would fit into the vanilla game!
All the concepts you make would be amazing as a mod
Man mojang really needs to see all this concept work, it's awesome, amazing and interesting
Someone make all this man's ideas into a mod
this is such a cool idea, and minecraft really needs more uses for amethyst
This would improve combat in a way I don't think anyone even conceived. Love ur vids man :3
Your idea and your animation is stunning. I would like to see this in Minecraft!
oh boy, new source of fresh serotonin!
I like how the ejector is not only sentient but also has its own idle animation
These ideas are so amazing and cohesive, this needs to be a mod!
The amount of work you have put into this video alone (visually, editting etc) is INSANE, thanks for the content and goodluck with future videos
these concepts are so good!! I really wish Mojang would add stuff like this it would be so cool.
Your ideas are always my favorite.
This needs to be a mod. All of your concepts should be a mod.
You get a new sub.
new to this channel but already love it the quality of it amazing your explanation of your idea is also amazing love this animation style too keep up the great work
The production quality here for this video is outstanding
I was making a Minecraft+ modpack and stuff from this channel is PERFECT for it, thank you CZcams recommended
I would love to see someone compile all your epic ideas into a mod
Smooth Animation and compact Explanations, you're the Type of Channel where 400k Subs should be the minimum
The owners of Minecraft should definitely hire this guy because he has many good ideas that could benefit Minecraft
bro i on een gon lie, dark mode and light mode videos are genius
the explanation makes a lot more sense now with the calibrated sculk sensor being added
This is now even better since Mojang gave the Warden a Sonic Boom
mad respect for posting two exact copies of this video, the only difference being the quanitity of light. Actually a chad move.
This is outstanding! I wish the Minecraft movies will use this kind of style!
I love your artistry.
This video was beautifully done. I love how clear and well put together everything is. I do hope Mojang sees some of your ideas and potentially implements them!
That would be copyright infringement
I waited for so long, this is great!
you're vids are really high quality and you're ideas could change Minecraft. I feel like this would be better suited for Minecraft dungeons but this shield would be good for both. You should definitely get more views bro
the concept of that shield is so perfect, that it hurts me so much that they will never put it...
babe wake up, new blockixel video
i really liked the amethyst shield boosting stuff idea,you could make parkour maps where you need a dash in the air or a double jump do get somewhere,it could give an extra hit by spawning a ghost clone of the player using the shield and hitting someone (got this idea after remembering that the amethyst is reflective)
The warden having basically vibranium is so much better of a reason for his ranger attack than “we didn’t like how players could cheese him so he gets the force now”
i feel like combining the monacle and glove idea would make for a really cool concept where if you are using a specific gem type with the glove and bang it against the shield it would consume a charge and "reverberate" and show 'echoes' that lead in the direction of the same type of mineraland there could be different levels of echo strength depending on how far it is.
maybe with the monacle if youre crouching or right clicking or something it could slowly consume shield charge and with it you could visualize reverberations of all things that make sound (mobs, dripstone, chests, doors, etc.) very cool vid i love these ideas
legit for a minute I thought I was watching a trailer and tutorial on how to use the amethyst shield. this concept is amazing this is a concept that deserves to be a real item.
Honestly, I would love to see this included into Dungeons somehow, since it seems like a waaaay cooler idea for that game.
This is an amazing video! Keep up the absolutely amazing work!
This is truly one of the videos of all time
Actually my favourite minecraft youtuber, such a creative way of making videos
my man predicted the shockwave of the warden
omg i just found this channel and i totally love it
This is so cool! I'd love to see it in a mod I'd definitely download it
Yooo I was just thinking about you earlier
Also love how you had the dedication to a whole seperate video just so people watching at night are more confortable
My god... the production value of this video is insane. If you ever need help making any of these concepts into mods, hit me up my dude. I'd love to work with you.
This is awesome this needs to be a thing Mojang needs to see this
It would be cool to see minecrafters use something like this! And I think such a shield would be great when dealing with skeletons.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE VIDEOS
