slicedlime works as a Tech Lead for Minecraft at Mojang, but the YouTube and Twitch channels are personal projects run entirely in his spare time. This is an unofficial update video that aims to be the most comprehensive guide possible. Changes are centered around and captured in Java Edition, but added features exist for both editions with the exception of Candles, which is coming soon for Bedrock.
