Exciting news for block-building enthusiasts! Minecraft has just dropped two innovative features for testing: the Copper Golem Statue and the Shelf Block. These additions promise to spice up your builds and redstone contraptions in Bedrock Edition beta and preview, with Java snapshots on the horizon.
New Features to Transform Your World
Let’s dive into the coppery charm of the new Copper Golem Statue. When your trusty copper golem reaches full oxidation, it transforms into a stunning patina-covered statue, dropping any held items. What’s cooler? These statues can strike one of four unique poses, tweakable with a simple interaction. Hook them up to a comparator, and each pose sends a distinct redstone signal—perfect for crafting intricate mechanisms. If you’re not ready to say goodbye to your active golem, a quick waxing will keep oxidation at bay.
Display in Style with Shelf Blocks
On the decor front, the Shelf Block is here to elevate your interior design game. This nifty block holds up to three items for display, letting you rearrange them effortlessly or swap them via your hotbar. Power it with redstone, and you can switch all three items in one go. Connect multiple powered shelves, and you’ve got a slick system for bulk item swapping across rows. It’s a game-changer for organizing and showcasing your loot!
What’s Next for These Features?
Both features are live for testing in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, and Mojang is eager for your input. Head over to their feedback channels to share your thoughts and help shape these additions. For full details, check out the official Minecraft announcement.
