Welcome to the spawn chunks episode number 281 for Monday January 22nd

2024. My name is Johnny, but the internet knows me as

Pixel Riffs. And joining me as always is a lightly risen Joel Duggan.

Hi Joel. To really understand the irony behind that, you'll have to listen to the render

distance which is the extended version of the podcast where I shared my

experiences weekend of breaking bread air quotes bread and if you'd like more of that, then go to

Patreon.com slash the Spanchunks, people that support the show as they

wonderfully do get access to extra content. There's an extended version of the podcast. There is the monthly

Minecraft hangout coming out this Saturday, January 27th, and the quarterly hangout, which is where we talk

about the facts and figures and behind the scenes about the Spong chunks,

is coming up on Saturday, February 3rd. So you can keep an eye on the announcements channel in the

discord for all of that. Speaking of the discord, there's a number of people here live listening to this recording, another perk of being a patron of the spong chucks.

And if you missed last week's episode where we interviewed Nembon from Mojang and talked to him about all of the stuff that he was up to in

Minecraft lately along with some of the stuff that he's developing for upcoming versions of

Minecraft we also chat to him on the render distance as well so we got a little bit of extra time with NEMBON,

a couple of minutes either side of the main podcast.

So once again, check that out if you're interested in helping

to support the show.
