Other Information:

Reminder No. 1: create a new world enabling “Experimental Features” to find the new content that is gated behind it, including the Crafter and other new blocks shown earlier; as well as the villager rebalance proposals from earlier snapshots.

Reminder No. 2: both snapshots and previews are now available in Realms.

Java Edition:

Note: A Snapshot Realm will update to the Snapshot version the Realm owner is on when they join. If an owner joins the Realm with an updated or downgraded version of Snapshot, the Realm will switch to that version, and members will have to join using that same version.

Snapshot Realms allow you to play the newest experimental features on a Java Realm with your friends. You’ll also have access to all of the features you’re used to on your regular Java Realm. You’ll even have access to the April Fools Snapshots as well! https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/20143730191245

Bedrock Edition:

Realms are now available in Preview and Beta! Any player who has an active Realms subscription is eligible to create a free Realm in Preview/Beta. This Preview Realm will be separate from your regular Realm to prevent any issues from impacting your regular Realm. For more information on how Preview Realms work, please see Realms in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Preview and Beta FAQ. https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/20264295053709

So we get access to the crafter and copper bulb. They functionality remains unchanged for around a month at this point. The functionality they have was confirmed to be intentional and then you remove what made them unique when compared to other blocks. What is Mojang’s problem, this is giving a child toys and then snatching them away when they are having too much fun. No one likes this shit, stupid waste of dev time.

I finally got around to looking at the new snapshot and I gotta say I think the hate is a little overblown.

The crafter having the same cool down as the dispenser definitely makes sense. It’s still very fast and it wasn’t really possible to fill the crafter fast enough to keep up with the faster cool down unless you had a single item recipe anyway.

I can see why technical players don’t because obviously they will always say yes to new features regardless of any other considerations. But it’s still a T flip flop and honestly just interacting with it normally as a copper bulb the timing feels way more natural now.
