gollark: TOO LATE!
gollark: I actually really like the changes apart from> Replaced enderdragon fight with 5-minute livestream and musical number> Added VBA scripting> Added the java marketplace> Added a way to earn Minecoins ingame> Performance deteriorations
gollark: If you need that ,mods .
gollark: <@261243340752814085> Put them in a bunch of chests and use artillery on them. Place them and shoot them. Use them as walls. Put them round a biter nest and nuke the whole thing. Just place them somewhere random where they won't do anything. Be creative!
