Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 245 Lapis Lazuli Golem

After seeing all the news on the forums today, most players browsed the forums for a while, learned a bit about what happened, and then immediately jumped into the game.

While logging off and staying out of the game when "something big is about to happen" can reduce some of the losses.

But that only saves him from dying once; all the items and animals in his base will be gone.

It would be better to go online, change your home's location, and maybe even improve your strength.

Major unions and gathering places also took this opportunity to begin large-scale recruitment of new people.

The benefits are quite substantial; the only requirement is that you can handle the workload.

It can protect the base or something when something "big" happens.

Most players aren't worried about this, since they play games to have fun, and many people enjoy the idea of ​​fighting against the unknown.

The remaining small group of casual players are either extremely strong and want to see what this "big event" is all about, or extremely weak and have no fear of dying or losing equipment.

"Capitalist Blue Print" also discovered a new business opportunity.

Players all want to improve their strength, that's easy!

The vast majority of the items he sells are things that players need.

However, since the previous villager trading post was always located in the snowfield, some players whose spawn points were far away did not want to travel to the map and had no necessary reason to buy equipment, so they naturally would not travel a long way to get there.

But now there is an even greater crisis: players must improve their strength, or they may end up penniless.

Players' luck is uneven.

Especially when it comes to things like enchanting tables where luck plays a significant role.

Therefore, the villager exchange, which can reliably produce high-end enchantment books and equipment, undoubtedly becomes a good choice.

Lanyin thoughtfully announced on the forum that the Village Exchange would be expanding its business scope.

To open branches throughout the entire main world.

This move undoubtedly made all players who wanted to upgrade their equipment cheer.

Although Blue Seal stated that the new location of the exchange would not be announced until the villagers completed the transportation and the exchange was officially built.

but...

Some people have already set their sights on them.

After all, even in an extremely remote location like the snowfield, the daily trading volume of the village exchange is not small.

If placed in a plain or similar area at the starting point, the daily profits would be immeasurable.

All the small guilds that had tried to emulate the Blue Seal guilds in organizing villagers had almost given up after failing to clear out a bunch of snow huts.

Now that the Blue Seal has revealed that they want to transport villagers, they are naturally starting to have their own schemes and are preparing to surround and trap them.

but...

Aside from the staff at the village exchange, no one else knew that Blue Seal had long harbored the idea of ​​expansion.

And they had already started taking action some time ago.

This time, it just so happened that we caught the wave of the "big devil's" popularity and leaked the news ahead of time.

As for the villagers?

They were already in place where they were supposed to be.

The facilities inside the village exchange, and those related to the villagers, are actually quite complete.

Villagers' bone fracture machine, iron brushing machine, breeding machine, automatic occupational classification.

In addition, the tradeable item lists for all villagers except those with the [Priest] class have been created.

After all, there is only one priest, while villagers of other professions can be produced infinitely.

As for how to obtain emeralds, they were all obtained by exchanging paper and iron ingots.

Although there is no quartz available now, allowing players to build detectors and create automated sugarcane farms.

However, compared to all other materials that can be exchanged for emeralds, sugarcane is already the easiest to obtain.

However, since high-speed monster farms are relatively common, monster materials are not that scarce.

As for iron, since an iron-grinding machine has been developed, this resource is practically consumed almost nothing.

After all, as long as there are a certain number of villagers, the iron golem can appear on its own without having to consume pumpkins and iron. There's nothing better than that.

The puppet part actually appeared not long after the villagers were discovered.

It wasn't even caused by the villagers.

It was actually idle players on the forum who were curious about the pumpkin head.

After wearing the pumpkin head on the snow mountain for a while, the snow golem was born when the golem accidentally placed the pumpkin head on a block of snow.

This lucky accidental touch led players to discover that there was actually a new way to play Minecraft.

They all began testing what could possibly create a puppet.

However, only three types of puppets have been discovered by the majority of players so far.

Snow golem, iron golem, lapis lazuli golem.

The lapis lazuli golem and the iron golem are placed in the same way, except that the materials required are a bit too much.

One red stone block, one gold block, two lapis lazuli blocks, and one carved pumpkin.

The redstone blocks are in the core position, the gold blocks serve as the main support, and the lapis lazuli blocks are the arms on both sides.

Although this thing is ridiculously expensive, for players...

"Where is this expensive? It's been this price for years, okay? Don't just spout nonsense. Sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself. Is it because you haven't worked hard enough to build a golem? Have you been mining and exploring ruins?"

after all...

Lapis lazuli golems are really delicious!

This thing isn't like a snow golem, which sometimes can't distinguish friend from foe, nor is it like an iron golem, which only protects the villagers. If you hit it, it will immediately throw you away.

Lapis lazuli golems are relatively more intelligent.

They obey the creator's orders and will not fight back even if the creator kills them.

As for non-creators, whether they are attacked or created, the lapis lazuli golem will rush to fight back immediately.

and...

It's possible that the arm part was made of lapis lazuli.

When attacking, there will be an enchantment bonus.

When facing an enemy, it will trigger effects such as [Sharpness, Knockback, Armor Penetration], which increase the user's attack power.

It can also apply a fire effect to the target with a probability, and may even trigger lightning during thunderstorms.

It directly charred the enemy's skin and flesh.

It's just that it's not always very reliable; it might suddenly stop halfway through the journey while following the maker.

It's like it's stuck.

After comparing the results, players discovered something strange: all the lapis lazuli golems paused for the same amount of time, stopping at the same second.

Players who initially thought it was their own problem were instantly amused and immediately passed the issue on to the official team.

After all, the simultaneous lag seems like a code issue, so it must be the official fault.

The officials were unclear why they had been unfairly blamed again, and could only tearfully go through the code and troubleshoot the error, although they ultimately found nothing wrong.

Putting aside the minor lag issue, players still really like the Lapis Lazuli Golem.

Easy to use, durable, multifunctional, and protective of its owner – it's practically perfect!
