FINALLY somebody out there that actually defends desert wells. Mossy cobblestone boulders are internally considered a structure, but I don't see anybody calling boulders useless, they're purpose is to sit there making the biome they spawn in a little but more interesting. Desert wells are the same thing as mossy boulders
@@TheGeekFactor i thought it was good, it was enough for what the video is about. it could also have less if you really wanted and it would still be fine in my eyes, little editing doesnt take away from the value of a video; although that could be subjective to the algorithm gods
For a data pack I think it would be really nice to just add more custom items. Just like the ones you've added to this data pack they should just be vanilla items with the addition of some unique item properties. It's simple but I think this could add a whole lot of variety to Minecraft.
I’m sure there are datapacks out there that add lots of stuff. The problem is Mojang doesn’t allow NBT data on the input side of custom crafting recipes… why? Idfk but they allow it on the output. I’m curious, though, what are your thoughts on the editing and filming?
@@TheGeekFactorI think your editing is pretty good. I just like a more subtle style of editing. Cause a lot of youtubers tend to "over-edit" their videos which make them really hard to watch. But the way you edit your videos fits really well with your scripts. It feels like every shot serves a purpose for the video. I mean I have no clue on how to edit videos but from what I can tell your editing is pretty good. 👍
@@TheGeekFactorIdk it's nothing significant but at 1:20 it may be a cool effect to point out where the fossil is located in the shot while zooming out. It might add to the scale of the shot. Currently you'd have to find the fossil yourself. I mean it is quite obvious where it is located...but you know just saying. I've seen other creators do that exact thing I pointed out when making zoomed out shots like this.
I think it would be awesome if you were able to Take a Sniffer to a fossil and it could get you new kinds of Sniffer plants! I think it would be neat if you could do that with all of the Ancient structures in the game that use dirt around them
hell yeah for you practicing what you preach and getting into datapack development. I've been making datapacks for years now and its honestly so liberating to be able to see something in the game, go "hmm i wish that was different" and then actually get to change it. I've also recently gotten into spigot plugin development, which I'd reccomend when you start bumping into the technical limitations of datapacks. It is a little more complicated at times and you need to know Java, but there's some good documentation out there, from the spigot documentation to so many youtube tutorials. Looking forward to the things you make!
I’ve always liked the idea of utility add on’s. One feature I’ve always thought that would be cool in a datapack is being able to throw projectiles, like ender pearls, further / shorter depending on level of strength and weakness applied to the player. What other useful features do you think could be in an add on like this?
I think Minecraft doesn't need to change fossils. But it really needs to add more of these features, like a rabbit hole or a very deteriorated house. And your datapack looks like it really helps with that.
I considered making one where there's a rare chance a desert well spawns, but instead of it just being a tiny amount of water, it leads down to a big lush cavern. Like an underground oasis, if you will.
More or less, Geek, you would need to do a transition. Noticed a lot of CCs who want to swap to a different type of content immediately swap to it, often or not leading to disaster. The few who didn't have this issue did a long-term transition, where the content continued to be Minecraft but you seasoned in here and there a different type of video. Over time it cultivates a different group of new fans. Unsure if this advice will help but hopefully it does, mostly from my own observation, so i could be completely wrong.
Things i don't like about the data pack: 1-Fossils spawn with pitcher pods and wither roses. That doesn't make sense 2-Fossils spawn with other ores besides coal and diamond. I much prefer them to be limited to just those 2 3-The dirt around the surface fossils is too detailed, it can stick out a bit especially in deserts 4-Maybe some of the skulls are too large? Idk 5-The suspicious gravel/sand lootable shown in the video contains blaze rods and emeralds, which like the first point, don't fit thematically. (i don't know if that's the actual lootable or it was just for showing off)
I think a cool idea for the vault implementation could be to place the vault in a way that it looks like some kind of treasure the creature was holding before it died and became a fossil.
absolutely love this data pack, ive been seeing the above ground fossils in me and my sisters mc world, which its cool because shes on bedrock while I'm on java and only because I haven't went mining yet. but there's a problem, aboveground fossils spawn in oceans and make really weaird generation. I'm p;planning on using the pitcher pod seads for building really soon. I think an underground fossil trial chamber would be also extremely cool. hoping you fix the ocean bug really looking forward for future updates!
Oh coding can absolutely be fun, especially when you make some huge breakthrough or finally solve that one problem you got stuck on, and I completely encourage everyone to try out to make a mod, even if you don’t know coding there are tools like MCreator which allow you to still do whatever you want while simplifying the boring parts about Java coding
Hot take: i kinda miss small structures that doesnt have loot but only to spice up the world I wish they added more "useless" structure in the future for badlands, birch forest etc...i would love to see a random water tower on the badlands and an abandoned shack in any kinds of forest
Something worthy to consider You can make use of empty blocks in structure blocks. Obviously you know this. But what if you sprinkled in a few empty blocks to the ground pattern around the bigger above ground fossils? Even though you are not using grass, the blocks you do use still end up clashing with the yellow sand. You could get rid of this straight up edge of the fossil ground by allowing the natural biome related block to spawn as it should have normally without the pack :o
I think regarding Zelda videos, Staying away from unemployment rate videos is a good idea, as it doesnt really have much indepthness to it in my opinion, which your minecraft video topics do have.
I like that this is a video that spawned from your original idea. It's something only you could make because it seems like only you in this community care about the fossils (lol). Your zelda videos on the other hand are something anybody could make, you just rehashed an already done concept. Your own ideas are sometimes genuinely interesting and you should bank on that. RUclipsr Leadhead also makes the content only she could make, which is where I got this idea Also the presentation of this video is really good! Keep it up
Before you start making more datapacks i think you should focus on this gem for a while. I personally would love to see vaults utilized for the fossils, but maybe it should be some kind of even more rare fossile, an example; maybe there could be a more withered variant which could be the ones that actually have wither roses and perhaps vaults that spawn wither skeletons
Excited to see Minecraft content is back! I found your channel a few months ago and ended up binging all your Minecraft videos and I love seeing the progress you’ve made in content making. Can’t wait to see more in the future!
@@TheGeekFactor i think for 2:36 type shots it could be F5 and not replay mod? also reusing the 1:58 boat shot threw me off (?? idek just was weird. using again at 3:23 was fine (???? idek dawg)). honestly im not noticing too many other things this video is very immersive i think the music choices are good too

everything that makes it unique
Dude if you don't like te datapack just don't get it. Nobody's forcing you to
@@Doodleanimations77 Dude he said share your opinion, i just did that 💀. Also i never had the intention of downloading it

i don't think i've ever ran into a fossil besides the ones in the soul sand valley
Those- believe it or not- are not the same as the other fossils. They are classified as “nether fossils” instead. Just a little fun fact for ya! :D
9:00 look, It's not that people only want MC, it's that people don't want Zelda. (people being me, specifically)
You should do a vintage story playthrough
Perhaps for the second channel!

Also will definitely be trying out this datapack soon
you should give the one with a creeper head a.. creeper head in the sus sand if possible
Ooh that is possible! Haha!
