MCdle #1139 — November 1, 2026
Block: Guess today's Minecraft block
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Use attribute feedback to eliminate close Minecraft candidates
- This is a worked elimination using the recorded profile of Golden Dandelion, not a transcript of guesses made in the game. Start with the 300-entry roster.
- Use tool = any_tool: 300 candidates become 73.
- Use hardness = 0: 73 candidates become 54.
- Use full block = No: 54 candidates become 51.
- Use renewable = Yes: 51 candidates become 47.
- Use luminous = No: 47 candidates become 38.
- Use initial release = 26.1: 38 candidates become 1 (Golden Dandelion).
- These constraints isolate Golden Dandelion. Use the remaining identity only after the attributes have been checked.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Dandelion | Recorded answer | tool any_tool; hardness 0; blast resistance 0; full block No; renewable Yes; luminous No; initial release 26.1 |
| Cactus Flower | Ruled out by these attributes | initial release is 1.21.5, not 26.1 |
| Eyeblossom | Ruled out by these attributes | initial release is 1.21.4, not 26.1 |
| Leaf Litter | Ruled out by these attributes | initial release is 1.21.5, not 26.1 |
What this does and does not establish
- The comparison uses the saved official roster. Later game balance or catalog changes can change the attributes.
Item: Guess today's Minecraft item
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Use attribute feedback to eliminate close Minecraft candidates
- This is a worked elimination using the recorded profile of Bucket of Aquatic Mob, not a transcript of guesses made in the game. Start with the 200-entry roster.
- Use stackable = 1: 200 candidates become 58.
- Use rarity = common: 58 candidates become 43.
- Use renewable = Yes: 43 candidates become 32.
- Use recipe = none: 32 candidates become 5 (Bucket of Aquatic Mob, Lava Bucket, Powder Snow Bucket, Milk Bucket, Bucket of Sulfur Cube).
- Use loot = trading: 5 candidates become 1 (Bucket of Aquatic Mob).
- These constraints isolate Bucket of Aquatic Mob. Use the remaining identity only after the attributes have been checked.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket of Aquatic Mob | Recorded answer | stackable 1; rarity common; renewable Yes; recipe none; loot trading; inventory categories tools_and_utilities; initial release 1.13 |
| Kelp | Ruled out by these attributes | stackable is 64, not 1; inventory categories is natural_blocks, not tools_and_utilities |
| Lava Bucket | Ruled out by these attributes | loot is none, not trading; initial release is pre-alpha, not 1.13 |
| Powder Snow Bucket | Ruled out by these attributes | loot is none, not trading; initial release is 1.17, not 1.13 |
What this does and does not establish
- The comparison uses the saved official roster. Later game balance or catalog changes can change the attributes.
Mob: Guess today's Minecraft mob
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Use attribute feedback to eliminate close Minecraft candidates
- This is a worked elimination using the recorded profile of Panda, not a transcript of guesses made in the game. Start with the 89-entry roster.
- Use behavior = Neutral: 89 candidates become 7.
- Use health = 20: 7 candidates become 2 (Panda, Zombified Piglin).
- Use spawn = Biome, Breeding: 2 candidates become 1 (Panda).
- These constraints isolate Panda. Use the remaining identity only after the attributes have been checked.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Panda | Recorded answer | behavior Neutral; health 20; spawn Biome, Breeding; classification Animal; height 1.25; initial release 1.14 |
| Fox | Ruled out by these attributes | behavior is Passive, Neutral, not Neutral; health is 10, not 20; height is 0.7, not 1.25 |
| Goat | Ruled out by these attributes | health is 10, not 20; height is 1.3, not 1.25; initial release is 1.17, not 1.14 |
| Armadillo | Ruled out by these attributes | behavior is Passive, not Neutral; health is 12, not 20; height is 0.65, not 1.25 |
What this does and does not establish
- The comparison uses the saved official roster. Later game balance or catalog changes can change the attributes.
Crafting Bee: Find recipes using today's 7 Crafting Bee ingredients
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Find actual recipes from the seven available ingredients
- The seven names in this round are ingredients you may use, not seven finished target items: tuff, resin brick, wildflowers, ink sac, andesite, sandstone, emerald. Crafting Bee asks which recipe outputs those ingredients can make.
- Compare each crafting-table recipe’s requirements with that set. Repeated use of an ingredient is allowed; ingredient tags are expanded to their actual allowed items. Smelting and other non-crafting-table recipes are excluded.
- The saved official recipe catalog yields 16 distinct craftable outputs: andesite slab, andesite stairs, andesite wall, black dye, cut sandstone, emerald block, polished andesite, polished tuff, resin bricks, sandstone slab, sandstone stairs, sandstone wall, tuff slab, tuff stairs, tuff wall, yellow dye. This is computed from the game’s recipe data rather than guessed from item names.
- Start with sandstone slab: sandstone | sandstone | sandstone. Keep the row shape; having the correct material without the right layout is insufficient.
- Then compare andesite slab: andesite | andesite | andesite.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| sandstone slab | Craftable from today’s seven ingredients | Place grid rows (slash separates rows; empty is blank): sandstone | sandstone | sandstone. Output quantity: 6. |
| andesite slab | Craftable from today’s seven ingredients | Place grid rows (slash separates rows; empty is blank): andesite | andesite | andesite. Output quantity: 6. |
What this does and does not establish
- This recipe comparison uses the captured official catalog. It does not claim a timed playthrough or a score. Outputs are not recursively added as new ingredients; the calculation uses the original seven-item set, as the game’s discovery function does.
