I coded this Minecraft update in 7 days that adds an entirely new pillager city, and even coded a new custom Minecraft boss. What do you think a pillager overhaul would look like if Mojang updated them?

    "let's keep it as vanilla as possible" - 12 minutes later "YOU WILL CROSS SWORDS WITH A LITERAL GOD"

    More work in 2 days than Mojang has done in the last 4 years

    6:35 I mean, their only issue with Villagers is that they are too peaceful, never wishing to pick up a weapon to defend their land. Likely a Pillager shopkeep would still lop off your hand for trying to steal. A cutthroat merchant if you would.
  • @leviwendt6461
    THIS. WE NEED THIS. I like the idea of pillagers becoming friendly by means of a trial of combat. Gives Viking kinda vibes.
  • @dregspromise8118
    Vanilla villages "molding to the landscape" is stretching it in my experience. Ever since the village update, not a single village I have visited has been intact enough to be saved. Villages divided by a ravine, half on a giant cliff, houses standing 5 blocks above all others... yeah it's something.

    My jaw actually dropped at that guy who only took 15 minutes to create just a demo for the boss battle music. I aspire to have this kind of creativity and work ethic! Amazing video :)
  • @god....
    Mojang should just hire these guys. They crank out mode in record time with updates players REALLY want.
  • @AFRHmusic
    Great video! It was really fun making music for the boss battle! Jarl turned out awesome

    Whimzee out of context, “could you imagine defeating a navy seal by eating a SlimJim?” 5:09

    This is an awesome video! You didn’t just make an impressive storyline, builds and coding, but you were also able to put it together in a video that came out so fun and entertaining. The pillager Jarl’s story was on point! I would love to see an update like this in minecraft!!
  • @MidwestActivity
    This is so cool, I love the idea of this and the execution is just.. wow
  • @BindMedia
    This is some incredible work that still feels like it could fit in Minecraft with very minor tweaking. I absolutely love the idea of reskinned normal swords that you can find in very specific circumstances, even if it's just like three or four different versions that come pre-baked with a certain enchantment (ie a Ghastly Blade that you find with fire aspect 2), that would make exploration that much more fun to find exclusive swords, and it would make display rooms way cooler
  • @GGBlaster
    You have inspired me to put code confirmations in my programs from this day forward. Thank you Whimzee
  • @howardmurphy8019
    Very impressive boss design and concept. And probably the best way to ‘align’ yourself with illagers.
  • @maugwei
    Thanks Whimzee! I has a lot of fun working on this one with you! Hope ya'll enjoy the boss!
  • @jateg5506
    If this guy could create such a good update in 7 days just imagine what mojang could do in a year if they actually did their job
  • @Desenrad
    Absolutely love how it looks like it fits into the game so well. Yet I still believe going with a simplistic rout with the boss would be best. What makes Minecraft so unique is how everything is so well thought out. You giving your self a week takes away that very important time needed to really find something cool. This actually kinda shows how having a gameplay designer is really useful. they think of everything and refine all the ideas. and then you code it all in only once.
