"Finally, Mario bricks": Minecraft fans excited to play with new resin blocks announced for Winter Drop
Minecraft recently got an experimental item called the resin, and it adds a new building material to the game. The resin block has an orange appearance, and it contrasts beautifully with the pale and gray appearance of the Pale Garden biome. This is the biome where players can find the resin block.
A Minecraft player and Reddit user named u/reesespieceskup shared some images on the subreddit of the game, showing the new resin block. The original poster also asked the community about their thoughts on the new blocks and the idea of collecting resin.
Although, they weren't fond of the texture of the block as it looked like candy and stood out from the surrounding blocks. The idea of adding resin blocks would have never crossed the OP’s mind.
Reacting to this post and the resin blocks, user u/Chicken-lord_hubert commented:
"Finally, Mario bricks"
This comment is a reference to the orangish bricks in the Super Mario game for the NES. The resin bricks in the game, which can be made by putting resin clumps in a furnace, look very similar to the bricks in the Super Mario Bros game.
Another user named u/Murilolucas said that they really like the idea of resin being added to the Pale Garden biome as it gives an incentive to visit this new biome.
User u/SkyLightYT replied to their comment saying that Mojang Studios might make this block like the copper block. The copper block was added to the game without any use for it.
User u/Blueboy1991 appreciated the resin looks but suggested that the experience could be enhanced with the option to dye it. u/IdahoJoel agreed to it as well. Having an item that can be dyed and made into walls, stairs, and slabs would be very cool.
Resin and eyeblossoms in Minecraft
Mojang Studios recently announced the addition of two new experimental features for the upcoming Pale Garden biome. Resin is an item that is dropped when the players break or destroy the Creaking Heart, the source of power for the Creaking mob. Resin can be made into resin bricks which then can be used for construction.
Eyeblossoms are a new plant that will only grow in the Pale Garden biome. It has two variants: opened and closed. At night, the flower opens and appears orange while during the day it remains closed. This flower can be used to make dyes and suspicious stews.
