To all the viewers, it would be deeply appreciated if you read this pinned comment before diving further into the comment section. It is totally fine if you do not prefer the new version of the sun tribe. After all, everyone has their own tastes and preferences. But it is absolutely not okay to be disrespectful to the creators of the mod, or to force your opinions onto people that are actually fine with the new versions of the mobs. I always want the community to be able to freely express their opinions, but going this far in line is rather an act of invading those rights for certain groups of people. At that, I would like to kindly ask everyone to please keep the comment section civil and respectful. Any harmful and disrespectful comments may be deleted without warning. And again, I would like to thank everyone for always supporting and watching me. Every single view matters. Thank you very much.
Why delete comments that are only expressing criticism towards the mod? If they're hating on the developer just call them out on it, don't silence their opinions for no reason other than not having thick skin.
@@ashuraomega1000 Only the comments with unnecessarily disrespectful wordings will be deleted. I would prefer to have a clean and civil comment section, not a fighting ground. Constructive criticisms towards the mod itself are still fully allowed.
this was by far my favorite part of this mod, seeing the funny little guys come running and saying funny things. the change to the mod is understandable as to why. but it does make me sad
I got a small quality of life update idea then: make the Umvuthana make funny bird noises in return, that they can make to each other and the player same with the new Sun Incarnation (who I can’t spell the name of for the life of me right now)
The animations and models look so good! I love how the creator really leaned into the bird theme with their movements being twitchy and their heads always turning as if inspecting prey, but I think my favorite detail are the sun-burned foot steps they leave behind
Man I really liked the sun chief, he and his tribe where really funny with the gibberish talk and goofy looks, I hope that when the mod is finished mozie adds a version that has the mobs look like thier original designs
Well Mowzie would not just make an addon when he just removed it but someone/some people are working on an addon to add the Sunchief guys back with Mowzies consent.
@@baalnetbek If the Barokoa inspired racist connatations and comments, then they had to be fixed. I don't like it anymore than you, but even if that was the furthest thing from the intent of the design it is still what the design conveyed
@@baalnetbek bruh it literally was a very racist depiction of african tribes, their whole theme was clearly based on that.. even if the devs wheren't ill intented with this design choice (which i mostly believe since they went their way into completely changing them) it was still a very unfortunate design for them to choose. Also this new design is simply better, more creative and unique, they look like something from BoTW, its just so cool
While I am sad that the Barakoa are gone, I understand why the creator wanted to change them. And someone is already making an addon to add the Barakoa back and (according to what I've read) with the creator's consent too.
so no real reason to fuss too much about the baraokas farewell then.. if someones making an addon to add them back then they better make them fight the umvuthi because that would be 🔥
I get art is subjective and all, but I will NEVER understand how people saw the comical, stylized, and goblinoid designs of the barakoas as "racist". It's also baffling how little people can't recognize the clear difference between mythological inspired creatures and racial stereotypes. Like some of these people really need to be educated on racism if they think living masks posing as goblins in a tribal setting "represents" any racist stereotypes.
Few people saw the barakoa as outrightly racist but most people would look at them and make inappropriate jokes about indigenous stereotypes and put it on the barakoa
@@Mr_blobman yeah, but that's not the barakoa's fault. People will make racial jokes about anything these days. The barakoa are a tribe of living masks that pose themselves as goblins in a tribal setting so they're obviously not immune to any racist jokes.
The barakoa werent racist at all, it was very clear thet they were magical sentient masks and the way they spole was very enjoyable. That said the sun birds are a massive ugrade in design and execution in every shape and form, but the barakoas were sillier and more fun to witness
The thing I'm confused about is how is Umvuthi any better than Barako from a racism angle? The Barakoa were goblins with an African tribal motif, the Abavuthana are birds with an Aztec tribal motif. Nothing really changed. The only thing you can say about Barako is that his appearance seems to be inspired by goblins and Mayan depictions of ancient gods who most of which looked very human like with tribal masks and other tiki-like appearances, now while these would be fair comparisons I fail to see how any of these similarities are inherently racist or match up with most stereotypes of Africans. A lot of people say that Barako's design is stereotypical in nature but I honestly don't believe this to be true because almost every time I've looked up caricatures that even remotely resemble the Barakoa, almost all of them only share about 1 or 2 traits like wearing feathers or having bows or bones as weapons, ect. The Umvuthi is a completely different story though, even on surface level Umvuthi has many parallels to real life tribes such as the Aztecs with their tribal bird aesthetics and extreme worshipping of the sun. It doesn't just end at thematic similarities though since the Abavuthana all have striking resemblance to old native American and Aztec bird & mosquito masks and other parts of their cultures. The Umvuthi in particular having a very noticeable resemblance to old tribal bird masks as well as mosquito masks, which is very interesting considering a large part of the reason why Barako was deemed offensive was because of "cultural appropriation" yet the Umvuthi actually fits this term better. Hell, the Umvuthi even looks a lot like those old bird attires and costumes the native Americans used to wear due to superstitious purposes and seeing as how Umvuthi is characterized to be a monster that only exists to be killed by the player... I just can't help but thinking that it may come off as a demonization of African culture.
@@dddripz because the combination of "tribe" + "magic" + "not white skin" + "masks" + "aggressive" resembles racism for some people. And twitter being twitter, of course.
Its sad seeing the Barrakoa go after a stupid controversy, but what Mowzie was able to cook s a replacement is fantastic, a lot of thoughts were put into creating these news mobs and they are objectively more original than the Barrakoas. As much as I'm a Barrakoa man at heart, Umvuthanas are really really cool, they look like they are coming straight of a Zelda game and thats great
@@Boamere it wasn't just people saying it was racist with no reason btw. Streamers and other players were making racist remarks about the Barakoa, and actual indigenous people expressed discomfort over the depiction. Personally, I think it was better to make the change than to 'not listen' to the real problems this caused, but that's my opinion.
I don't know why people keep saying this. How is the sunbird objectively more "original" than the barakoas? Concepts such as the sun bird have existed for hundreds of years in different mythologies, religions, and sections of fiction. The barakoas however are living masks empowered by the sun that pose themselves as goblinoid creatures living in a tribal like setting. I don't know about you but I've never seen such a unique take on goblins and tiki cave men before. The Abavuthana on the other hand just look like generic boss creatures that you'd see in a game like terraria or something, which is fine but it's a huge contrast from the comical, stylized and goblinoid designs of the barakoas.
I like these dudes way more with this change tbh controversy and stuff aside, these are so well done, it really shows that these models and animations were made with love whenever i saw this mod on videos and stuff, i never really cared for the sun tribe dudes, they were alright bc the boss fight was interesting, but the mobs themselves weren't that interesting for me, but these bird sun fellas? they are really pretty and cooool also, making the Sun God/Chief a bird makes it way weirder in a good way, it's more mystic that way i also really loved that the creator of the mod aknowledged the critics and problems the previous iterations of the mod caused, whenever you care about the critics they received or not, not a lot of creators react positively to criticism and work towards fixing those issues, that's something i really respect
I wouldn't say mowzie is the best when it comes to accepting backlash. Basically any and all criticism towards the reasoning for why he changed the barakoas has been met with the lol cow response of "sToP dIrEsPeCtInG mY wOrK!!!!!!". Further more when people rightfully took issue with the umvuthi and Abavuthana replacing the barako and barakoas he saw it as an attack to his work and accused people of calling said work "unimportant". I don't mean to spread hate to mowzie but I think sometimes he can be a bit naive and just lack common Sense overall.
I'm gonna be honest, but the SUN BIRD is objectively way fucking cooler then some normal tiki looking dude from before and its not even a competition between em.
It moreso shows their connection to the Sun but it's not "objectively" better than barako at all. That's purely subjective no matter which way you look at it.

I really think the sunbird it's better than sunchief... This animations of the 3d model* causes more impact, looks really like a demi god, the attacks and powers it's more imponent. Every single change it's really pretty for me
I think a lot'a folks confuse satirical takes and work that's inspired by real world tribes for racism nowadays. Racism involves thinking less of someone because of their race, but thinking that a creative work is racist just because it depicts a fantasy race in a tribe, like the controversy about orcs a few years back, is a bit racist on its own, it'd mean that you thought that being in tribes somehow made the people or creatures in it lesser, and that it was the writers intention to make fun of tribal people. It involves a whole lot of assumptions, and seems to be fueled by a want to create drama. I hope that stuff like this doesn't hinder people from taking inspiration from real world civilizations in the future, as that'd set a scary precedent for writers and creative work in the future.
Say what you want about the barakoa looking like "stereotypical" African tribes (even though they don't) but the inspiration behind them had nothing to do with the natives themselves, mowzie even admitted this. The barako are objectively not racist because they do not represent African tribes or any stereotypes used to dehumanize them over the years. By the logic mowzie has been using you can pretty much blame any creature design or work of art that shares any similarities with the barakoas of being "racist". I'm hoping mowzie eventually comes to his senses and realizes this because his stance on this whole situation sets a pretty bad precedent for his future work regarding this mod and the entirety of mod making as a whole.
@@RetroMagnus761 It's not an issue because it's racist to portray cultural themes in fiction. It's an issue because people somehow think it's racist. You may think it's unreasonable, but you should see some of the things people have been doxed and threatened over. You aren't exactly wrong, but neither are people saying it was a good decision. Purely conceptually, I like the new ones for the extra themes and more personifying visuals, I honestly think they're a bit better. But yeah they didn't have to be changed.
@@Mariwendhonestly I think changing them was the right call given Mozie’s own rationale for doing so. Ultimately they themselves thought the original was problematic and wanted to change it so more people could actually enjoy the mod. And we got a fire design out of it too.
@@foureyesisafish7968 Because other people started telling them it was problematic. If they originally thought it was problematic, why did they make it in the first place? It's funny because those who deemed the original was problematic are actually the racist ones. You know why? Because this is the same situation with people who got offended to fictional orcs or that person that got offended by Waitrose's dark chocolate duck named "Ugly Duckling", deeming it was racism to blacks. Only a racist would associate such features to a particular race.
if you give in to the people that complain about things like this, they will realize they have power over you and will find new things to complain about
Call me a hater, call me disrespectful... I hate the new design and absolutely LOVED the old one. As a descendant of the old cuban tribes (no, I am neither bragging about it nor trying to look cool. That's what my family has told me for years), I loved to have some sort of "tribesman" in minecraft that kinda resembled the old Tainos
There's no point in arguing with the nut jobs in this comment section. They're so convinced they are right that they've thrown away all forms of logic just to appease their broken feelings. But what more can you truly expect from emotionally unintelligent people?
@@karl7699Same they literally replaced him FOR A BIRD a feathered bird you got to be kidding me I am so pissed about this why something just bring him back like a normal person even a one IQ man would hate the bird they had to replace him for a bird A little bird what's after the bird A frog? HELL TO THE NO!
@@Jamiex2024 plus some features are completely broken in their hook like the spears and blow darts, why even have them in the game now when they actually were better uncraftable plus the barakoa were better at attacking and honestly looked cooler
The barakoa situation is sad, but it's out of the mod creator's power to control how people will react to an old design, be it through a justifiable sense of shock/alarm, oversensitivity, or overt racism. The sunbird is a better, more fitting design to the mod regardless, and won't offend anyone, so I'm happy to see the mod grow as a result of the situation :)
Majority of people seem to want Barako back tho so i whoudnt say that necesarily. Also the new sunbird has allready gotten claims its racist towards Native Americans so no people got offended by this aswell.
kinda dumb that the Barakoa, a completely made up and gibberish video game mob who literally had zero actual irl counterparts, were replaced just because a few people on Twitter complained
The bird feels overdesigned compared to the more vanilla looking bosses. I think a really cool change would’ve been instead to change it to pigs instead of birds. Keep the blocky nature of the chonky old sun chief, add some big ole tusks, go for a whole sun praising, Aztec orc tribe vibe.
i honestly prefer these designs more, even excluding any cultural baggage from it, i think these designs do a more interesting job of having these mobs be centered around the whole living mask thing. Barokoas were just weird goblin people while Umvuthanas are cool bird people and fit the Savanna feel a lot more imo
As cool as Umvuthi is, the reason the Sunchief was removed is just ridiculous to me. It was never meant to be offensive in the first place and the fact the owner of the mod let the weirdos on Twitter get to him is disappointing. Edit: After reading some other comments, it seems it was more than just users on Twitter. However, I still think the owner of the mod should of just ignored it all and kept the Sunchief. While being nice is good, being too nice can be a bad thing.
Cool rework for a dumb and cringey reason. They were a goblin like race, of which in most cases are shown as tribe like in books, shows, movies, and games. I understand wanting to change certain aspects to flesh them out to add depth and perhaps in an effort at being less offensive, but this was an extreme correction that was not warranted.
Oh so someone thought the last version was racist? Lmao, this is similar with how people got offended by orcs. I love how these people don't see the irony in both. Y'all are waayyyy to obsessed with race nowadays.
He said himself people from africa and similar origins reached out to him, it had nothing to do with twitter, he also was kinda annoyed with people assuming it was because of twitter
@@Charliebarl He wasn't annoyed about people blaming twitter, he was annoyed on people fighting over some opinions whether they'd like it or not, besides he also said in his comment to "freely express opinions but going to far this line is rather an act of invading those rights on certain groups of people that are actually fine with the new version of the mod". There was a controversy happening in Twitter about this mod they'd try to threaten the mod develpers because Barako and Barakoana were disrespectively racist towards African Tribes.
Blud… why did they remove the barakoa for a bird, honestly the barakoa fit in better than those sunbirds do. So why did they have to change it when 90 percent of the community are now mourning over the loss of them. Mowzie, bring back my boys.
Apparently some woke loser thought that a digital tribe composing of a fictional race was deemed too racist because it resembles African stereotypes. Even though that Africa contains many tribes and plays a major part of African culture. These woke idiots need to stop with this bullcrap.
I get that they changed it due to how some people were relating it to real-life races But my problem is how some people assume he was apologizing for being "racist" with these fantasy tribal goblins based on a type of African goblin When he never intended them to be seen in that way Birb Tribe is fine, and i do like that they kept the sun theme, but I honestly think that it still tells more about the people who look at the Barroka and see Africans Then it does about Mowzie himself who never meant for them to be seen as such
So they replaced the chief? That sucks. Wonder why they didn’t make the bird a separate boss. Sun chief felt more proper as the tribe leader than a plump birb
People on Twitter said Sun Chief's Tribe Design was Racist (African Race Simliar to that) as they say a weird language many people found it racist & disrespectful
I think the biggest loss for me about the Barakoa changing, is that they gave me huge Crash Bandicoot vibes. I love the Umvuthana as a replacement, but I’ll still miss the Barakoa personally, they were such an iconic mob group. I do hope Mowzie makes the Umvuthana make bird noises talking to eachother and the player though, that’d be a fun qol replacement for the Barakoa gibberish
I would like it if you could keep the old tribe, by relocating it to the jungle maybe you can have them both(and maybe change the theme to , like blood or the sky with storm-related attacks) anyway, the sunbird is very cool, and the fact that you can interact with them "pacifically" is amazing
say what you will about the reasoning behind it, but I think the sun birds are just a genuinely better looking and better feeling mob group. They also feel infinitely more unique than "goblins who wear tribal masks and throw spears and shoot darts".
Blowdarts and spears seem a lot more fitting for a goblin race than a naturally clawed, skinny, raptor like bird. + These birds being bright and skinny makes it hard to actually understand their designs and they somewhat end up looking like blobs attacked to a glowing ball.
@@Robotlizardguything most of the birds just use their hands anyway, and you can still just *craft* blow darts. From what I've seen, they just use their claws.
@@daubeny8071 Brother it's been 9 year's maybe more since they made this mod and it's been maybe longer and they just updated from 1.16.5 to 1.18 and have barely put anything in it except for The sun Bird tribe but, fine i will wait i do have patience but having patience doesn't mean not to talk about their laziness
@@catfish6415 Ah autocorrect at it again, But no i get that part, everytime mojang makes a new update it completely breaks the existing mods but my point is that they could have spent more time on adding to the mod then trying to catch up with mojang
The more calculated combat patterns of the avian like race would be amazing for a new mob in vanilla minecraft instead of the usual "charge" towards the player.
The barakoa were a fun part of the mod, but I think umvuthana are better. They are better animated and have more intricate designs, which have more IDK fantasyish vibe. Would be fun to see more mobs adden with similar vibe
Ill miss the sun king but this makes me feel less bad in killing the sun tribe now. I remember after getting the mask they was chill homies n had the lm fight for me.
honestly the new designs ARE cooler, was missing playing modded minecraft lately and remembered this mod, embers, astral sorcery and roots with roots in 1.12 it had a spell that made you go into spectator mode, if you used that and the sun beam you could move around intangibly while still attacking foes lmao
There are four types of barakoas: Mangrove-blue(Moon) Savanna-red(Sun) Jungle-green(Moon) Desert-yellow(Sun) Sun barakoas leave a trail of burned footprints, while moon barakoas leave a trail of frozen ones. These can be removed faster with an water bucket or fire. Barakoas masks don't change in each biome, what changes is their village skin and leader(moon chiefs are skinny while sun chiefs are fat) The masks of the chiefs grants the players with their respective barakoa(moon or sun) abillities and health boost or regeneration depending on the culture. You can trade with moon barakoas with silver and with sun barakoas with gold
On the day of the update, an echo shook the world, and a piece of all of us had also died. Although I miss the old ones, I must say the secretary birds are pretty dang cool, the animation are butter smooth, the designs are thought out, and the models look amazing. I'm sad to see them go but I know it was (mostly) needed
I do hope that somebody makes a resource pack to bring back the old designs for newer versions of the mod. While I understand the reason for the change, people should be able to experience legacy content/styles if they choose to.
@@cyancybershock719My brother in stupidity christ, the old designs 10 times better than what this KFC stuff this is. The only reason it got changed because idiots thought the mobs were racist.... IN A MINECRAFT MOD
It looks like leader is based off a Secretary Bird! 🤩 Edit: as someone who misses the old design as well, i like to believe this is the new generation of The Sun God. Perhaps they continued the legacy after the original god died?
I like how you expect me to want to kill them lol, its not like "they're aggressive so you want to defend yourself" or something, its already "here's how they attack and what they drop"
I know people kinda hate the new transformation (the old version is not racist lol) but I think the new design is better cause birds are sometimes symbols of the sun.
It's a shame because umvuthi himself is really cool but barako is just better and fits the Savannah and connection to the Sun a lot better (in my opinion). Also the Abavuthana look absolutely hideous. They need another redesign
I absolutely LOVE the new model, but it’s a pity that this is not a separate tribe but a redesign( In my world I made Barako a corrupt deputy, but now Barako is a bird
F fo the barokas I played this mod when I was 10, this mod was good I didn't care about the design I cared about the way they interacted to the world, and now my heart hurt :(
I understand why they were changed, I don't like the reason why though. They were clearly meant to be sentient masks, and the idea was very cool. I hate that the nostalgic mask monsters had to be removed over a controversy made by insensitive racist jerks. I'm sorry to the people who were suffering because it felt like they were being treated as wild barbarians, but please don't hold it against the people who made the mod. It was a cool idea that people who didn't look further could only see the admittently obvious surface. Kids and people of african descent don't see the original idea, they see wild tribesmen with vibrant skin attacking them. Some people made correlations that existed accidentally. Some people can't stand it and don't play the mod or call him out, which is fine. What isn't fine is other people making inappropriate jokes. The Barakoa are a product of stereotypes, but they're not made with malice. (Shoutout to Independence15, I couldn't find many of the people who were offended, and I'm glad you were so understanding.) Were the tropes there, absolutely, but Mowzie was still trying to make it seem like they weren't depictions of humans. He made their skin green, he made the mouths move when they talked, he made the ears like a goblin. An attempt was made. It failed. This is attempt 2.0, now with 80% less accidental rasicm. It was a good change made for a bad reason. Also please add sounds like the Barakoas. Their voices made them seem alive and not just creatures to kill. These are definitely an upgrade, but you took away something that made them feel like a living creature like the Pandas, not a "Pet" to shove in a corner of your base and forget like a Dog.
We honestly prefer these over the original tribemen concept. They look more unique and feel more like it would fit Minecraft's world more than the general lost tribe of tribemen. The only thing we don't care for is the sounds, mostly because they sound bland for a bird race, especially when compared to the gibberish of the tribemen.
The people who think that the barako and the barakoa are “racist” probably dont even know whats the diffrence between inspiration and reference To me The barako and the other lil guys are just an INSPIRATION from the african tribes those people are talking about Mowzie just took some features from the tribe and putted it into the barako But they mistook it as a REFERENCE, basically they think mowzie made the barako and the others as the SAME to the african tribes they were referencing Like bro, tell me do they even look remotely ALIKE to the tribes?? They Have green skin (maybe just bodypaint, idk the lore but i love this mod) Have pretty WILD proportions And The barako literally pukes damn MASKS, SHOOTS LAZERS. AND EMITS A WILD ASS SUPERNOVA, like Do you seen a tribe where the captain of the tribe does allat????? Hell no So shut your mouths up And let me enjoy my personal bodyguards barakoa that doesnt speak english But yeh Thats my take
I miss the old guys, the birds are a good idea but the giant yellow circle, obviously looking like a sun, still doesbt look right with the way it rotates, it would have been better as a flat texture behind the mask
I like these bird models a lot more than the older barakoa to be honest, not because of the situation but because they got slick animations that just *ooze* with character That, and the barakoa sounds were annoying as all hell
Gonna put my two cents into this discussion due to the changes in design & such. I like the new design, just feels more connected to the sun & I feel it helps further accentuate the mask spirit vibe I get from them, and the designs & such to me are genuinely amazing! I know a lot of people don't like the new design but I'm putting my own opinion in since I think it'd be nice With me saying this, I could see the Biloko possibly taking slight design inspiration from the Barakoa(not a copy paste back into the mod, just taking elements like the mask designs as they are the rivals to the Abavuthana after all, maybe it's ruined masks that they've repurposed into masks for their own tribe.) The more human-like designs would fit with the Biloko being simian-like, and just in general could be neat to see old concepts get brought back for the rival group. Either way though, while the old designs were cool, completely understand Mowzie either way, with or without context because either way, we got something cool out of a redesign! Ain't much to argue over something that in the end isn't too bad of a change because at the end of the day, they functionally are still the same.
I really do not understand this I have not seens any updates in content for this mod since the 1.12 era and know they come out with straight up just a reskin No wonder why people were saying that mods like alex caves and cataclysm surpassed this one
There are 2 Barakoa tribes, one in the savannas and other in jungles, the ones in savannas praise the sun while the ones in jungles praise the moon, the moon chief is skinny while the sun chief is fat. While sun barakoas leave the ground schorched while they walk, moon barakoas leave it frozen, they share the same masks, what changes is the body colour. When both tribes encounter they forget what tgey were doing beforehand and start atacking each other. When killed all barakoas drops masks that gives effects to the user. The mask are: Mask of fury: Strenght Mask of rage: Haste Mask of misery: Resistence Mask of bliss: Jump Boost Mask of fear: Speed Mask of faith: Health Boost Barakoas will become passive if you wear a mask, and if you wear one of the chiefs masks you create baraokas of your own with the masks mentioned prior By giving a gold block to a sun chief or a silver block to a moon chief you gain sun or moon blessing, making you able to use the respective chief magic.
…..one reason I hate twitter, they ruin all good stuff. I mean don’t get me wrong these guys are cool, but the sun chief and his people are all so…just…just nostalgic for me, you can’t replace the,.
I feel like the sun bird is ultimately the better choice for a multitude of reasons, including, but not limited to, the birds not being as easily misconstrued as a racist caricature of tribal cultures that exist to this day. I wonder if the bug that causes the cockatrice eye beams from ice and fire to crash the game when contacting the Umvuthana has been fixed... Edit: I read Bob Mowzie's statement linked in the description, and this dude is genuinely awesome. This is how you don't get cancelled; admit your mistake and solve it. I can't wait to include this in my next fantasy mod pack with my fiance and throw some money into his patreon once I can afford it :)). Every time I've played modded minecraft I've used mowzie's mobs as a center point of my world and I feel even better using his content after this beautiful rework.
Interesting rationale for replacing the Barakoa. I wonder if enough people saw Barako the Sun Chief in the MrBeastGaming videos, cause his design was never a problem for a long time. Regardless, Barako is a classic modded mob, so I’m unsure how I feel about this. The new designs are OK, but a bit odd, too. Their heads look strange.

@@potentpotassium5776no, they could, they just listened to 14 yo girls on twitter thinking it was racist even tho it wasnt
@@baalnetbek If the Barokoa inspired racist connatations and comments, then they had to be fixed. I don't like it anymore than you, but even if that was the furthest thing from the intent of the design it is still what the design conveyed
@@baalnetbek bruh it literally was a very racist depiction of african tribes, their whole theme was clearly based on that.. even if the devs wheren't ill intented with this design choice (which i mostly believe since they went their way into completely changing them) it was still a very unfortunate design for them to choose.
Also this new design is simply better, more creative and unique, they look like something from BoTW, its just so cool
I didn't think the solar theme with the bird would go together, but Umvuthi and its attack look very cool.

@@draw2death421he didn’t get bullied. Did you read the message at all?
I get art is subjective and all, but I will NEVER understand how people saw the comical, stylized, and goblinoid designs of the barakoas as "racist". It's also baffling how little people can't recognize the clear difference between mythological inspired creatures and racial stereotypes. Like some of these people really need to be educated on racism if they think living masks posing as goblins in a tribal setting "represents" any racist stereotypes.
It probably the fact they talk oddly and they live in the savannah. That's my guess
Few people saw the barakoa as outrightly racist but most people would look at them and make inappropriate jokes about indigenous stereotypes and put it on the barakoa
@@Mr_blobman yeah, but that's not the barakoa's fault. People will make racial jokes about anything these days. The barakoa are a tribe of living masks that pose themselves as goblins in a tribal setting so they're obviously not immune to any racist jokes.
@@Mr_blobman yeah, but that wasn't the barakoa's fault.
bro istg i see you everywhere bruh you the gt hater
The barakoa werent racist at all, it was very clear thet they were magical sentient masks and the way they spole was very enjoyable.
That said the sun birds are a massive ugrade in design and execution in every shape and form, but the barakoas were sillier and more fun to witness
true
but sometime you just have to avoid a potential call out post
The thing I'm confused about is how is Umvuthi any better than Barako from a racism angle? The Barakoa were goblins with an African tribal motif, the Abavuthana are birds with an Aztec tribal motif. Nothing really changed. The only thing you can say about Barako is that his appearance seems to be inspired by goblins and Mayan depictions of ancient gods who most of which looked very human like with tribal masks and other tiki-like appearances, now while these would be fair comparisons I fail to see how any of these similarities are inherently racist or match up with most stereotypes of Africans. A lot of people say that Barako's design is stereotypical in nature but I honestly don't believe this to be true because almost every time I've looked up caricatures that even remotely resemble the Barakoa, almost all of them only share about 1 or 2 traits like wearing feathers or having bows or bones as weapons, ect. The Umvuthi is a completely different story though, even on surface level Umvuthi has many parallels to real life tribes such as the Aztecs with their tribal bird aesthetics and extreme worshipping of the sun. It doesn't just end at thematic similarities though since the Abavuthana all have striking resemblance to old native American and Aztec bird & mosquito masks and other parts of their cultures. The Umvuthi in particular having a very noticeable resemblance to old tribal bird masks as well as mosquito masks, which is very interesting considering a large part of the reason why Barako was deemed offensive was because of "cultural appropriation" yet the Umvuthi actually fits this term better. Hell, the Umvuthi even looks a lot like those old bird attires and costumes the native Americans used to wear due to superstitious purposes and seeing as how Umvuthi is characterized to be a monster that only exists to be killed by the player... I just can't help but thinking that it may come off as a demonization of African culture.
@@IsaiahJones-rw1pc they dont look human
I’ll miss Barako and the Barakoana but I understand why they had to change them and the birds look really cool

why?

That would be awesome
Its sad seeing the Barrakoa go after a stupid controversy, but what Mowzie was able to cook s a replacement is fantastic, a lot of thoughts were put into creating these news mobs and they are objectively more original than the Barrakoas.
As much as I'm a Barrakoa man at heart, Umvuthanas are really really cool, they look like they are coming straight of a Zelda game and thats great
Exatly! Such a fine job, the only bad part is the reason behind the change
I hate Twitter, no wonder the left get shit on. Oh I hate libtard politics...
@@PhShadowvery true, they're really well made. It's a shame the creator listened to some idiots online instead of just ignoring them
@@Boamere it wasn't just people saying it was racist with no reason btw. Streamers and other players were making racist remarks about the Barakoa, and actual indigenous people expressed discomfort over the depiction. Personally, I think it was better to make the change than to 'not listen' to the real problems this caused, but that's my opinion.
I don't know why people keep saying this. How is the sunbird objectively more "original" than the barakoas? Concepts such as the sun bird have existed for hundreds of years in different mythologies, religions, and sections of fiction. The barakoas however are living masks empowered by the sun that pose themselves as goblinoid creatures living in a tribal like setting. I don't know about you but I've never seen such a unique take on goblins and tiki cave men before. The Abavuthana on the other hand just look like generic boss creatures that you'd see in a game like terraria or something, which is fine but it's a huge contrast from the comical, stylized and goblinoid designs of the barakoas.
I like these dudes way more with this change tbh
controversy and stuff aside, these are so well done, it really shows that these models and animations were made with love
whenever i saw this mod on videos and stuff, i never really cared for the sun tribe dudes, they were alright bc the boss fight was interesting, but the mobs themselves weren't that interesting for me, but these bird sun fellas? they are really pretty and cooool
also, making the Sun God/Chief a bird makes it way weirder in a good way, it's more mystic that way
i also really loved that the creator of the mod aknowledged the critics and problems the previous iterations of the mod caused, whenever you care about the critics they received or not, not a lot of creators react positively to criticism and work towards fixing those issues, that's something i really respect
I wouldn't say mowzie is the best when it comes to accepting backlash. Basically any and all criticism towards the reasoning for why he changed the barakoas has been met with the lol cow response of "sToP dIrEsPeCtInG mY wOrK!!!!!!". Further more when people rightfully took issue with the umvuthi and Abavuthana replacing the barako and barakoas he saw it as an attack to his work and accused people of calling said work "unimportant". I don't mean to spread hate to mowzie but I think sometimes he can be a bit naive and just lack common Sense overall.

I like the new design of the sunbirds, but the Barakoa (and Barako) will always remain nostalgic for all of us.
So True, Mowzie was bullied by streamers and they called him racist
I'm gonna be honest, but the SUN BIRD is objectively way fucking cooler then some normal tiki looking dude from before and its not even a competition between em.
It moreso shows their connection to the Sun but it's not "objectively" better than barako at all. That's purely subjective no matter which way you look at it.
The battle animations are insanely good though (especially the supernova thing), probably better than the previous one
I think it would’ve been even cooler if the tiki guys were kept and the birds guys were added as a rival tribe.
the drum animation looks goofy tho
I don't know why people keep saying this. How is the sunbird "objectively better" than the barakoa?

I think a lot'a folks confuse satirical takes and work that's inspired by real world tribes for racism nowadays.
Racism involves thinking less of someone because of their race, but thinking that a creative work is racist just because it depicts a fantasy race in a tribe, like the controversy about orcs a few years back, is a bit racist on its own, it'd mean that you thought that being in tribes somehow made the people or creatures in it lesser, and that it was the writers intention to make fun of tribal people. It involves a whole lot of assumptions, and seems to be fueled by a want to create drama.
I hope that stuff like this doesn't hinder people from taking inspiration from real world civilizations in the future, as that'd set a scary precedent for writers and creative work in the future.
Say what you want about the barakoa looking like "stereotypical" African tribes (even though they don't) but the inspiration behind them had nothing to do with the natives themselves, mowzie even admitted this. The barako are objectively not racist because they do not represent African tribes or any stereotypes used to dehumanize them over the years. By the logic mowzie has been using you can pretty much blame any creature design or work of art that shares any similarities with the barakoas of being "racist". I'm hoping mowzie eventually comes to his senses and realizes this because his stance on this whole situation sets a pretty bad precedent for his future work regarding this mod and the entirety of mod making as a whole.
@@RetroMagnus761 It's not an issue because it's racist to portray cultural themes in fiction.
It's an issue because people somehow think it's racist.
You may think it's unreasonable, but you should see some of the things people have been doxed and threatened over.
You aren't exactly wrong, but neither are people saying it was a good decision.
Purely conceptually, I like the new ones for the extra themes and more personifying visuals, I honestly think they're a bit better. But yeah they didn't have to be changed.
@@Mariwendhonestly I think changing them was the right call given Mozie’s own rationale for doing so. Ultimately they themselves thought the original was problematic and wanted to change it so more people could actually enjoy the mod. And we got a fire design out of it too.
@@foureyesisafish7968 Because other people started telling them it was problematic. If they originally thought it was problematic, why did they make it in the first place? It's funny because those who deemed the original was problematic are actually the racist ones. You know why? Because this is the same situation with people who got offended to fictional orcs or that person that got offended by Waitrose's dark chocolate duck named "Ugly Duckling", deeming it was racism to blacks. Only a racist would associate such features to a particular race.
if you give in to the people that complain about things like this, they will realize they have power over you and will find new things to complain about
Call me a hater, call me disrespectful... I hate the new design and absolutely LOVED the old one. As a descendant of the old cuban tribes (no, I am neither bragging about it nor trying to look cool.

kinda dumb that the Barakoa, a completely made up and gibberish video game mob who literally had zero actual irl counterparts, were replaced just because a few people on Twitter complained
Well no, it isn't an entirely made up creature or his original creation, they were taken from Zulu Mythology, as they are based off the Tokoloshe.
They were based on Zulu mythology, but obviously the design didn't get that across well enough
The bird feels overdesigned compared to the more vanilla looking bosses. I think a really cool change would’ve been instead to change it to pigs instead of birds. Keep the blocky nature of the chonky old sun chief, add some big ole tusks, go for a whole sun praising, Aztec orc tribe vibe.
so they just made the tribe dudes into birds.
Honestly for the better their sounds are just annoying
Sad
i honestly prefer these designs more, even excluding any cultural baggage from it, i think these designs do a more interesting job of having these mobs be centered around the whole living mask thing. Barokoas were just weird goblin people while Umvuthanas are cool bird people and fit the Savanna feel a lot more imo

@@smelly2897 Agree, but the masked goblin ppl should've repruposed as something else.
As cool as Umvuthi is, the reason the Sunchief was removed is just ridiculous to me. It was never meant to be offensive in the first place and the fact the owner of the mod let the weirdos on Twitter get to him is disappointing.
Edit: After reading some other comments, it seems it was more than just users on Twitter. However, I still think the owner of the mod should of just ignored it all and kept the Sunchief. While being nice is good, being too nice can be a bad thing.
Really hope they update to newer versions :| ,
they will
Cool rework for a dumb and cringey reason. They were a goblin like race, of which in most cases are shown as tribe like in books, shows, movies, and games. I understand wanting to change certain aspects to flesh them out to add depth and perhaps in an effort at being less offensive, but this was an extreme correction that was not warranted.

Birb Tribe is fine, and i do like that they kept the sun theme, but I honestly think that it still tells more about the people who look at the Barroka and see Africans
Then it does about Mowzie himself who never meant for them to be seen as such
For Barakoa, it was changed from goblins to sun birds.
So they replaced the chief? That sucks. Wonder why they didn’t make the bird a separate boss. Sun chief felt more proper as the tribe leader than a plump birb

I love the Umvuthana as a replacement, but I’ll still miss the Barakoa personally, they were such an iconic mob group.
I do hope Mowzie makes the Umvuthana make bird noises talking to eachother and the player though, that’d be a fun qol replacement for the Barakoa gibberish
I would like it if you could keep the old tribe, by relocating it to the jungle maybe you can have them both(and maybe change the theme to , like blood or the sky with storm-related attacks)
anyway, the sunbird is very cool, and the fact that you can interact with them "pacifically" is amazing
New models are great, but reason why its happened makes me sad.
say what you will about the reasoning behind it, but I think the sun birds are just a genuinely better looking and better feeling mob group. They also feel infinitely more unique than "goblins who wear tribal masks and throw spears and shoot darts".
Agree with you more than anyone in comment section
Blowdarts and spears seem a lot more fitting for a goblin race than a naturally clawed, skinny, raptor like bird. + These birds being bright and skinny makes it hard to actually understand their designs and they somewhat end up looking like blobs attacked to a glowing ball.

I think people who associated Barako and Barakoana with real life people doesn't know that make they more racist by thinking like that.
Seeing something that looks like a racist caricature and assuming that's the intention is racist?
Why did they change it? The other ones had so much more personality and actually felt like people that had intelligence these just feel like monsters
I'll give a quick summary: twitter was mad bc tribal goblins looked like african people, so they cancelled him.
There are four types of barakoas:
Mangrove-blue(Moon)
Savanna-red(Sun)
Jungle-green(Moon)
Desert-yellow(Sun)
Sun barakoas leave a trail of burned footprints, while moon barakoas leave a trail of frozen ones. These can be removed faster with an water bucket or fire.
Barakoas masks don't change in each biome, what changes is their village skin and leader(moon chiefs are skinny while sun chiefs are fat)
The masks of the chiefs grants the players with their respective barakoa(moon or sun) abillities and health boost or regeneration depending on the culture.
You can trade with moon barakoas with silver and with sun barakoas with gold
Wish they'd keep the Barakoas and Barako in the game along with Umvuthi, would be cool to see them as either rival or allied tribes.
Yeah they should make the umvuthi the moon bird instead and keep barako

I know people kinda hate the new transformation (the old version is not racist lol) but I think the new design is better cause birds are sometimes symbols of the sun.
It's a shame because umvuthi himself is really cool but barako is just better and fits the Savannah and connection to the Sun a lot better (in my opinion). Also the Abavuthana look absolutely hideous. They need another redesign

F fo the barokas I played this mod when I was 10, this mod was good I didn't care about the design I cared about the way they interacted to the world, and now my heart hurt :(
I understand why they were changed, I don't like the reason why though. They were clearly meant to be sentient masks, and the idea was very cool. I hate that the nostalgic mask monsters had to be removed over a controversy made by insensitive racist jerks. I'm sorry to the people who were suffering because it felt like they were being treated as wild barbarians, but please don't hold it against the people who made the mod. It was a cool idea that people who didn't look further could only see the admittently obvious surface. Kids and people of african descent don't see the original idea, they see wild tribesmen with vibrant skin attacking them. Some people made correlations that existed accidentally. Some people can't stand it and don't play the mod or call him out, which is fine. What isn't fine is other people making inappropriate jokes. The Barakoa are a product of stereotypes, but they're not made with malice. (Shoutout to Independence15, I couldn't find many of the people who were offended, and I'm glad you were so understanding.) Were the tropes there, absolutely, but Mowzie was still trying to make it seem like they weren't depictions of humans. He made their skin green, he made the mouths move when they talked, he made the ears like a goblin. An attempt was made. It failed. This is attempt 2.0, now with 80% less accidental rasicm. It was a good change made for a bad reason. Also please add sounds like the Barakoas. Their voices made them seem alive and not just creatures to kill. These are definitely an upgrade, but you took away something that made them feel like a living creature like the Pandas, not a "Pet" to shove in a corner of your base and forget like a Dog.
We honestly prefer these over the original tribemen concept.
They look more unique and feel more like it would fit Minecraft's world more than the general lost tribe of tribemen.
The only thing we don't care for is the sounds, mostly because they sound bland for a bird race, especially when compared to the gibberish of the tribemen.

The people who think that the barako and the barakoa are “racist” probably dont even know whats the diffrence between inspiration and reference
To me
The barako and the other lil guys are just an INSPIRATION from the african tribes those people are talking about
Mowzie just took some features from the tribe and putted it into the barako
But they mistook it as a REFERENCE, basically they think mowzie made the barako and the others as the SAME to the african tribes they were referencing
Like bro, tell me do they even look remotely ALIKE to the tribes??
They Have green skin (maybe just bodypaint, idk the lore but i love this mod)
Have pretty WILD proportions
And The barako literally pukes damn MASKS, SHOOTS LAZERS. AND EMITS A WILD ASS SUPERNOVA,
like
Do you seen a tribe where the captain of the tribe does allat?????
Hell no
So shut your mouths up
And let me enjoy my personal bodyguards barakoa that doesnt speak english
But yeh
Thats my take
I miss the old guys, the birds are a good idea but the giant yellow circle, obviously looking like a sun, still doesbt look right with the way it rotates, it would have been better as a flat texture behind the mask
Now we can bending like to Avatar
Great

This is so much better than the old one, it's so well made!
I like it but I still like the old tribe, I wish they could stay as well.
I like these bird models a lot more than the older barakoa to be honest, not because of the situation but because they got slick animations that just *ooze* with character
That, and the barakoa sounds were annoying as all hell
i can not understand the hate against the new versions, i fucking love them so much. their over all design is so fucking awesome
I love how the solar beam animation for your character looks like a kamehameha
he really change the skins due the hate? bruh the people need to chill out
average twitter users ya know
I wish baraokanas and baraok the sun chief would still exist and the birds would just be a different version of them
the birds remind me kinda of like skull kids from legend of zelda, i think it’s a huuuge improvement
I think we can all agree that Twitter needs to mind it’s business and keep the cesspool of L takes to themselves.
Gonna put my two cents into this discussion due to the changes in design & such.
I like the new design, just feels more connected to the sun & I feel it helps further accentuate the mask spirit vibe I get from them, and the designs & such to me are genuinely amazing! I know a lot of people don't like the new design but I'm putting my own opinion in since I think it'd be nice
With me saying this, I could see the Biloko possibly taking slight design inspiration from the Barakoa(not a copy paste back into the mod, just taking elements like the mask designs as they are the rivals to the Abavuthana after all, maybe it's ruined masks that they've repurposed into masks for their own tribe.)
The more human-like designs would fit with the Biloko being simian-like, and just in general could be neat to see old concepts get brought back for the rival group. Either way though, while the old designs were cool, completely understand Mowzie either way, with or without context because either way, we got something cool out of a redesign! Ain't much to argue over something that in the end isn't too bad of a change because at the end of the day, they functionally are still the same.
If they left him alive, he would've been able to pull the Death Star out of orbit.
I honestly love the new bird designs! Will miss the little dudes’ gibberish, though…maybe a datapack will be made that gives them the iconic voices.
I really do not understand this
I have not seens any updates in content for this mod since the 1.12 era and know they come out with straight up just a reskin
No wonder why people were saying that mods like alex caves and cataclysm surpassed this one
He had too deal with thousands of sensitive people bullying him because of a mob Design, give him a break
There are 2 Barakoa tribes, one in the savannas and other in jungles, the ones in savannas praise the sun while the ones in jungles praise the moon, the moon chief is skinny while the sun chief is fat.
While sun barakoas leave the ground schorched while they walk, moon barakoas leave it frozen, they share the same masks, what changes is the body colour.
When both tribes encounter they forget what tgey were doing beforehand and start atacking each other.
When killed all barakoas drops masks that gives effects to the user.
The mask are:
Mask of fury: Strenght
Mask of rage: Haste
Mask of misery: Resistence
Mask of bliss: Jump Boost
Mask of fear: Speed
Mask of faith: Health Boost
Barakoas will become passive if you wear a mask, and if you wear one of the chiefs masks you create baraokas of your own with the masks mentioned prior
By giving a gold block to a sun chief or a silver block to a moon chief you gain sun or moon blessing, making you able to use the respective chief magic.
…..one reason I hate twitter, they ruin all good stuff. I mean don’t get me wrong these guys are cool, but the sun chief and his people are all so…just…just nostalgic for me, you can’t replace the,.
Bird-washing.
Not saying, they are bad designs; But couldn't they have been used for something else (something new)?
Жаль, что мы потеряли навсегда такого прикольного Пузатика и получили этого индюка..
I feel like the sun bird is ultimately the better choice for a multitude of reasons, including, but not limited to, the birds not being as easily misconstrued as a racist caricature of tribal cultures that exist to this day.
I wonder if the bug that causes the cockatrice eye beams from ice and fire to crash the game when contacting the Umvuthana has been fixed...
Edit: I read Bob Mowzie's statement linked in the description, and this dude is genuinely awesome. This is how you don't get cancelled; admit your mistake and solve it. I can't wait to include this in my next fantasy mod pack with my fiance and throw some money into his patreon once I can afford it :)). Every time I've played modded minecraft I've used mowzie's mobs as a center point of my world and I feel even better using his content after this beautiful rework.
Shame to see the Baroka go over some stupid twitter reasons.
Yep, it wasn't the natives who got offended over the barokas, it was the 14 year old white girls on twitter.
Interesting rationale for replacing the Barakoa. I wonder if enough people saw Barako the Sun Chief in the MrBeastGaming videos, cause his design was never a problem for a long time. Regardless, Barako is a classic modded mob, so I’m unsure how I feel about this. The new designs are OK, but a bit odd, too. Their heads look strange.
The minion is giving skull kid from the legend of Zelda majoras mask
the sun on their head clutters the screen maybe make it less transparent or smaller, love it tho
