Cheez is life, especially in Skull Caverns but also IRL. My favorite bakething is lasagna (3 cheezez!) because it is has a very high yummydensity. I started baking at about 11 and muffins are a great starter because they're small so they bake fast and pretty close to thoroughly (no raw insides with overly crusty outsides). Plus they're also yummy and you can share with loads of other people!

Ooo now that's a fun question and I'm not sure how to answer it.

How much it made me play more?

Probably 1.13 Aquatic as my second 1.13 build was the first I "finished" the game with summoning and killing the Wither, killing the new Elder Guardian, killing the Ender Dragon, exploring the End and getting my first Elytra! I don't deal with heights well and when playing games I'm LOCKED IN, so that was a very sweaty fingers experience. My build was simple but fun and I did at least one of all the new game mechanics.

Honorable mention to 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Part II as the completely changed world generation was something I was exploring using mods at the time so getting back into vanilla with the new generation was fun, though the current ore generation is still not my fave even with more recent rebalances making things better

How much of the new stuff did I do?

Probably 1.12 World Of Color but that's almost cheating as it was my first update as I started playing with 1.11.2. I made a vertical house at the far end of flat rolling plains and the side of the house was a mural of the sky made out of light blue, white, and various gray Concrete. From afar it blended into the sky with the whites and grays making up blocky MC clouds.

Hon mention to 1.13 Aquatic as I played the Java betas for the first time and made a Live Coral house with water in the walls to keep them alive. Fun design challenge. Followup play was the one mentioned above.

How much it changed how I play?

1.14 Village and Pillage as Villager Breeding is core to how I play the game and that changed everything. I was a very annoyed blockhead and refused to play until I worked out a strategy and saw how it could be abused even more than the older strats.

Hon mention to 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Part II for ore generation changes which are better and worse. I feel I'm worse at finding Diamonds now but instead I just trade for Diamond Armor, Tools, and sometimes Weapons (see above!). And these are an infinite source so in many ways is better.


Overall.

Hm. What "new" things do I use and enjoy the most? 1.13 Aquatic wins. I simply love living by the ocean, plundering ships, digging up treasure, seeing all the fish variations, Coral, Turtles, Sea Pickles, building Conduits and small underwater temples, the added OSTs (sooo good).

and. but.

yeah.

1.13 also introduced the worst thing into the game until it's worstosity was beaten in worstedness by the hideously awful Warden: The Drowned with the Trident.

Ya know, I'm such a fraidy cat about night time that getting and using a bed is core to my gameplay so I almost never see phantoms. Only time I see 'em is if I spend too much time underground on the rare time I find a really good open cave system and I've had bad luck with those recently. I'm never in the Nether long enough for phantoms to spawn afterwards. However I've also gotten the knack of fending them off (watch where they come down and run towards them as they twirl around and SWING that Axe/Sword!) and I particularly like the sound of them taking a bite so I them taking a munch every now and then is OK.
