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

Chapter 230 New Ruins

Looking at the horned melon swaying and moving in front of him, Shi Qian was not very willing to take a step.

There's probably nothing new here...

"If that doesn't work, should we go back to Zero Nine Sequence and ask for another set of coordinates?"

Shi Qian was advancing along the boundary between the Dead Nether Block and the Horned Melon.

He thought his journey to explore the dimensions of history was doomed to failure, but the appearance of one thing made him think of another possibility.

Here, in this dimension, there are relics.

He saw a structure he had seen before, but it was in a different state of damage.

If he remembers correctly, there are boxes inside these ruins.

The treasure in one dimension can, to some extent, reflect the overall situation.

The Nether, for example, is full of gold items and things related to lava.

You might find something by opening a box...

When Shi Qian saw the densely packed horned melons clinging to the entire interior of the ruins again...

I almost fainted when I closed my eyes.

"Is there some kind of special magnetic field here? Why do all the horned gourds seem to flock to this place...?"

As Shi Qian leaned against the doorframe, which had no door, preparing to throw poison to kill the horned melons.

The information displayed on the wall's squares startled him slightly.

[Melted deep slate bricks]

This naming convention... seems similar to that of copper blocks. He remembered that you could coat copper blocks with wax, and once coated, they would stop oxidizing.

Having previously seen horned melons clinging to melted fat, the reason there are so many horned melons in this ruin is probably because their food was found on the walls...

However, seeing these insects, Shi Qian still took out a potion that could instantly inflict damage and smashed them repeatedly.

A puff of white smoke flashed through the ruins, and all that remained of the Horned Melon was experience orbs and its loot.

The debris from these horned melons...

"It looks a bit like honeycomb..."

However, it has a more gelatinous feel and a color similar to magma paste.

However, due to personal reasons, Shi Qian was still unable to obtain information about this item.

This dropped item looks like a basic ingredient for crafting or brewing.

Is there something new in this dimension?

Without dwelling on the matter for too long, Shi Qian stepped into the ruins, which had been cleared of all insects.

This site is not very large, covering an area of ​​about 15*15 square meters.

He didn't look at the ruins carefully when he first saw them.

Because of the bugs inside, I just left.

Although the ruins do not cover a large area, they are still divided into sections.

At the inward corner, Shi Qian saw a square he had never seen before.

It looks like a pottery jar.

but...

The material is gray, much like the color of a mixture of dark slate and gray stone.

The jar has patterns on its surface.

A unique pattern, never seen before, exists on all four sides of the jar.

There is a candle symbol on a dark, recessed stone slab.

They all have a pixelated style.

When the candle's symbol is hidden behind the slate, it appears to be the same color as the jar itself, but...

When viewed as a whole, the candle itself seems to be glowing, brighter than its surroundings by more than two degrees.

"Strange..."

However, Shi Qian knew that there were pottery jars in Minecraft; he had seen that block before when he was browsing the system store.

It looks like it's an item that will be added in future updates; it's supposed to have storage capabilities.

That jar in front of me must be some kind of loot box...

If I just go up and hit it, can't I collect the dropped items or break the block?
