Welcome to the Spawn Chunks episode number 328, recorded Monday, December 16th, 2024.

This is a podcast all about Minecraft, available across all of the major podcasting platforms,

including a video version on YouTube.

My name is Joel Duggan, and joining me,

as always, is my friend Johnny, who you may know as Pixariffs on the interwebs. Hello, sir.

Hello, we've had a rousing conversation about all of the stuff you're probably going to be

watching over your holiday break. So if you're interested in getting some TV wrecks, Joel has been

watching Superman and Lois.

We talked about some of the sci-fi and fantasy offerings out there on Apple TV and other services.

You can listen to the pre-show at patreon.com slash the spawn chunks, where the render distance is available to anybody who supports us on Patreon.

That's the extended version of the podcast. You get a little pre-show and a little post-show every week.

And we usually just talk about what's going on on our lives, what we've been watching and playing video games-wise lately, all kinds of stuff like that. That's at patreon.com slash the spawn

chunks. We have a few upcoming events, but those are all going to be taking place in the new year. So our December hangout has been moved to January of 2025 and our

quarterly hangout, which is going to be a wrap up of 2024 as a year, will also be happening

in late January, maybe early February of 2025. Those are available for our patrons to listen to as

well and even join in on the discussion. We also take a few emails if anybody has any about

the behind the scenes, facts and

figures of the show. So once again, if you're interested in all of that, that's patreon.com

slash the spawn chunks. So what have you been up to in Minecraft over the last week, my friend?

So over the last week, I have done some moss mining experiments, and it took the entire week

to do them more or less, because it happened across a couple of streams and I've had a couple of other busy days this week. But I have been doing a side-by-side comparison of pale moss versus green moss to decide whether pale moss is as effective or if not more effective for moss mining, which is the technique where you bonemeal a large area so that every block in the area turns into moss,

and then you can use a hoe to instantly break it, meaning you don't have to have haste,
