Could you send the files you edited?

Maybe working on Deferred Rendering before breakfast is messing with my brain

[rough path]

And this went inside textures/entity/iron_golem

[sonic musk]

yup

[livid jasper]

Actually, my integrated graphics card is good because I have an i9The 13th generation and i9 always have much better GPUs than the others. I get 130 fps in Minecraft Java. But as soon as Shader comes in, you can forget about built-in GPUs

[sonic musk]

are you on deskop?

[rough path]

I'll try it out, thanks

[livid jasper]

laptop

[sonic musk]

oh okay

[livid jasper]

i have also an rtx 4050m

[celest sluice]

Mine is Intel Core i5

[livid jasper]

wich generation?

[sonic musk]

the metallic doesn't seem to work

[rough path]

[celest sluice]

I'm not sure

[celest sluice]

That's strange since I've seen it work in YSS SE

And all it did was change the shaders. Not the textures

[livid jasper]

The generation is actually even more important than the class

[rough path]

Not expecting a Preview this week due to labour day. But its more likely we'll see 1.20.40 next time

[sonic musk]

hold on i will see it without upscaling
upscaling messes a lot of stuff up

[charred ocean]

same here. Just wondering what 1.20.40 is holding for players 🤔

[rough path]

Mali GPU fix

Thats the one confirmed thing unless more setbacks

[sonic musk]

mali fix and upscaler fix

[rough path]

Waiting for molang in global.json and ability to apply noise to water

[charred ocean]

bug fixes. easy guess. I won

[devout barn]

we might get 1.20.30 release and first 1.20.40 preview in the same week 😳

[charred ocean]

Intel iGPUs crying in the corner

[devout barn]

might be a small update to be in time for when 1.21 features start previewing, after minecraft live?

[rough path]

1.20.30 gets merged into 1.20.40

[hoary forge]

Me: dies

[devout barn]

nooooo

[sonic musk]

bruh

[devout barn]

at that point it's basically 1.21, the update is already larger than 1.20

[rough path]

Confirmed: 1.21 is a minor update /s

[hoary forge]

:O

[devout barn]

I wrote a changelog for 1.20.30 and it's 200+ pages 💀 and I didn't even include deferred rendering lol

[sonic musk]

smokey i have figured out the iron golem bug

[charred ocean]

i had measured it as well but didn't really tell anyone 💀

[sonic musk]

the MER format doesn't work with cracked textures

[rough path]

So i cant have glowy craked golems

[sonic musk]

yup i need to test more

[charred ocean]

who remembers dis

mojavatar completely stolen by me. thankyou

[devout barn]

They did have a page about adding toggles to java >:) https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/testing-new-minecraft-features/feature-toggles-java-edition

[celest sluice]

I'll join you

[charred ocean]

don't forget me

[hoary forge]

yay! :D

[celest sluice]

Is the cracked texture a layer on top of the base texture, or is it a different texture all together?

[rough path]

Ability to edit vanilla block models when

[celest sluice]

blockshapes: I don't feel so good

[sonic musk]

both layering and different textures doesn't work

[celest sluice]

bug report time?

[sonic musk]

i'm gonna do some more testing to confirm

[charred ocean]

I haven't forgotten it yet lol

[tropic chasm]

(behavior too)

Almost every single vanilla block has an issue

[pure gull]

It feels like its Better Together time again 👀

[tropic chasm]

Logs for some reason rotate in 90 degrees when placed looking to East or west

[pure gull]

2017-2023

[sonic musk]

Even without MER texture sets if I enable the shader pack it doesn't work
The cracking doesn't seem to appear in normal fancy graphics
I think it has to do with PBR and texture layering failing
So sure bug report time

without any shader or texture pack the cracking does work

[rough path]

Anyone have the issue where your sun is just a black square, along with particles

[sonic musk]

no?

evil iron golem be like

[rough path]

Why is warped called stem but crimson is called log

[tropic chasm]

because:

[sonic musk]

bruh💀

[rich vault]

It might be either too bright and overflow the color buffer (there is a bug report) or too dim. If you have bloom enabled, does the bloom around sun also look black? And does it look black at sunrise/sunset?

[rough path]

It only occurs when its noon-ish, but goes back to normal in sunrise/sunset. The actual sun is black but the orange-ish bloom around it is not

[rich vault]

Sounds like it might be too bright, you can try decreasing brightness in the atmosphere file

[rough path]

Honestly, there should be a water_noise.png that controls water wave thats how most games simulate waves from what I learned on YT

[charred ocean]

i haven't really checked on deffered shaders making process so curious about a question to ask. Is it a similar and an easier-than-before system now just like how java system has?

[rough path]

Idk how Java shaders work

[vast bolt]

Easier as you don't code anything

Its just changing values and creating textures

They are not actually "shaders"

[cedar cedar]

Deferred Pipeline and Shaders

• Shader is a program that usually runs on the GPU with the purpose of rendering things (calculating color of pixels) or otherwise utilizing GPU for other computations. Shaders, in the context of Bedrock, are modifications that modify or completely replace existing vanilla shader code, which can significantly alter the way objects are rendered in the game. Usually, bedrock shaders enchance the look of the game by modifying the way terrain, entities and clouds are rendered.
• Deferred Rendering Pipeline is a graphics mode introduced to bedrock in preview 1.20.30.20. It offers various data driven options for graphics customization. However, one thing it does not offer is shaders. It is a common misconception to call either the deferred pipeline or its customization packs as shaders, however neither can be accurately described as such. Deferred Pipeline is a graphics mode, while its packs can be best described as graphics customization or extension packs. Or just graphics packs for short.

Why is it important to differentiate between both terms?

Both Deferred Pipeline and Shaders are ways to customize the graphics in Bedrock, however the key difference is that shaders are not officially supported. Calling graphics packs as shaders causes a lot of frustration and confusion in the community and among add-on and shader developers.

[charred ocean]

Yes ik that. Just saying shaders for short to make it not much complicated for typing lol

im lazy rn to type every single word.

Also it's freaking close to midnight (10:30pm)

[rough path]

I think MC doesnt like my atmospheric configs bc its not loading my world lol

And ofc it loads now

[charred ocean]

poor smokey

with his game friend who doesn't want to load

ok gn

[slender wren]

Kayla please do make a Preview with a lot of toggles in early april
nothing big, no more than an hour of two of code, but just with A LOT of toggles

[rich vault]

Would be awesome if a specific combination of toggles would enable different features air tag for example

[dreamy bison]

the fabled bedrock edition april fools update

[hoary forge]

Why does everyone want an apple air tag?

[rough path]

Up up down down left right left right b a

[rough path]

Am I reading the docs wrong? for zenith sky colour, the keyframe "0.5" should be noon no? But its only activating during midnight

[rough path]

And now my ; key eont toggle between fancy and deferred

[latent radish]

When I was creating functions that converted game time to keyframe I noticed this as well. The timings that keyframes correspond to is incredibly inconsistent accross where they are used.

[rich vault]

Messing with atmosphere

[rough path]

You dont happen to have a list of what is inconsistent do you?

[valid thistle]

its look like roblx

#Minecraft Release Insider: there won't be a Minecraft Bedrock 1.20.30 release this Tuesday, unfortunately.

Twitter · Sep 3, 2023, 8:26 PM

Release Insider

[elfin flower]

bro just pick random people as 'release insider'

what's wrong with people nowadays

[tropic chasm]

hilarious

[hasty grotto]

This isnt the first time that that account has done something silly

[heady sable]

Whoever is posting screenshots of here, please consent first - Whether it is Mojang employees or just random people (you will most likely get caught in a lot of sarcasm and fake information a lot of times)

[devout barn]

So many definitely to be true leaks recently wow

[limber tiger]

the worst MC news account EVER

and also, (prob) 1.20.30 next week!

[hoary forge]

hopefully

[devout barn]

I think we’ll get both 1.20.30 release and 1.20.40 preview next week 😮

Although would be the first time in a very long time they don’t release the preview for the next update before the current update

[hoary forge]

or maybe the first 1.20.40 preview this week and 1.20.30 next week

[limber tiger]

I'm actually feeling this week will be 1.20.40

with how small was last beta

[devout barn]

Maybe maybe, though devs were off Monday I think (Labor Day in the USA)

[limber tiger]

ah hmm

[hoary forge]

Yeah but you never know

[limber tiger]

well they can do the preview on thursday

[devout barn]

We’ll see as always

[limber tiger]

yeah

[rough path]

Ooh nice

[devout barn]

Java 1.20.2 should start pre releases very soon too, might be coming out the same time as Bedrock 1.20.30

[rough path]

Also Veka, could you explain the horizon blend slopes. Does it only apply during sunrise/set? How does it calculate when its noon? Is it only for the sun?

[limber tiger]

mid september yeah

[rough path]

I have also indicentally turned all my fog into red colour now lol

And the fog to no fog transition is so harsh

Anyone also has the issue where your world is just stone then the game starts applying the biome blocks like its paint

[rich vault]

Basically there are 3 lines: where horizon starts, where mie scattering (sun glare) ends and where rayleigh scattering (blue color) is at full strength.
min controls the horizon starting line, 0 is right at horizon, 1 is at the very top of the sky
start controls the line where rayleigh scattering (blue color) is at full strength. Intuitive way to think about it is to imagine that anything above start is blue, anything below min is orange, and in-between there is a blend of both.
mie_start is just like start but for the sun glare. At 1 sun glare is at full scale and if it's smaller, it will be squished into the horizon starting line.
max is a weird one, but it basically gets subtracted from min and mie_start but not start, so using it you can move both those lines down.
Mie scattering is mostly only visible during sunset/sunrise, and both sun and moon are treated equally, so if you match their values, you can end up with 2 identical suns.

[tropic chasm]

||this is a joke||
||Minecraft developer confirms 1.20.30 next week.||

[devout barn]

I officially confirm that Minecraft 2 is released

[tropic chasm]

Minecraft CEO confirms Minecraft 2

[sonic musk]

i got 1.20.15 with my survival world on shaders

this looks very beautiful

bruh the game just crashed

[sonic musk]

should i participate in it?

[quasi wedge]

I don't understand the cartographer change

They can still give Woodland Mansion and Ocean Monument maps? Why not allow them to give maps to other structures

[rough path]

Whats up?

[rough path]

Maybe they might, but baby steps

[quasi wedge]

Adding the Jungle and Swamp village as a secret trade doesn't make sense either

If they don't generate naturally, a player will have needed to create the village

which means they're always going to be given a map to the village that they made

[hoary forge]

yeah, that happens

[sonic musk]

also is there any reason why the frame times get really high

[hoary forge]

no sorry

from my experience and from what i've noticed, the preview runs faster than stable even without deferred

[sonic musk]

np

[sonic musk]

yeah i have noticed it too

[limber tiger]

New today in experimental:
🗺️ Cartographers - Now sell maps to villages and structures in different biomes
🪖 Armorers - Updated trades; now require diamond for diamond armor trades
📚 Enchanted books - Higher chance of generating in some structures

Try these changes out today…

Twitter · Sep 5, 2023, 3:18 PM

I really hope with 1.20.40 they will add banners points on maps

[sonic musk]

yeah about time they add it

wtf is this

bruh the nerf is crazy

[lapis sierra]

So No release today?

[sonic musk]

i don't think so

[lapis sierra]

: (

We need one

[sonic musk]

yeah

[tropic chasm]

I disagree we need two

[sonic musk]

I agree

[quasi wedge]

dang

no enchantments on diamond armor

and then really weak ones on the ones being sold with them

good thing I've never abused villagers for anything other than mending books

[sonic musk]

will the old villagers that has 1 emerald default to new price

[quasi wedge]

idk

any of the emerald prices aren't really issues for me anyways

I always make pillager farms

[celest sluice]

What's up?

[pure gull]

Wow, Tuesday for Preview 🤯

[quasi wedge]

Actually, I don't understand that at all now that I look at it better

[sonic musk]

so 2 emeralds and 1 diamond chest plate is equal to a diamond helmet????

[quasi wedge]

yeah lol

[celest sluice]

I think that's just a different trade

There are still trades that give you diamond gear direct (+ needing some diamonds in the first place)

[quasi wedge]

but technically speaking, you can eventually loop the diamond helmet around and turn it into a diamond chestplace

[pure gull]

Any version on any days will be released

[quasi wedge]

for only about a dozen emeralds

[celest sluice]

I think this is a good rebalance

Because now you need diamonds to get diamond gear from villagers

[sonic musk]

Someone's soul in the office must have been overridden by some villager soul they way they are nerfing the villagers

here is the whole sheet

[sonic musk]

💀

[quasi wedge]

new prank

convert someone's diamond blocks to emerald

[sonic musk]

nah that would be a good prank

[celest sluice]

Items with the symbol are chainmail

Couldn't they just use the chainmail icon?

[sonic musk]

they must have messed up so they did this

[devout barn]

those maps don’t lead to villages you made, they lead to jungle temples & witch huts respectively

[quasi wedge]

oh okay

It says Explorer instead of Village

I can't read

[sonic musk]

is this a bug?

@rough path sorry for the ping but iron golem is cracking now

[rough path]

Oh?

What did you do

[sonic musk]

idk it works but it shimmers

hold on i will send a vid

[rough path]

Huh, why is it like a flipbook

[sonic musk]

i am figuring it out it is very confusing

[languid tinsel]

Oh it got deleted

[hoary forge]

oh lol

[sonic musk]

also it is defaulted cracks

i only have golem texture

[cursive pond]

I somehow accidentally tricked the client into accepting larger blocks this weekend but I can't figure out how I did it because the next day it stopped working when I updated my pack converter :/
Very sad

[sonic musk]

so the crack are from the game

[languid tinsel]

They must have seen the backlash here 🤣

[rough path]

CC: @stoic orchid Do you happen to know why PBR for iron golems semi work? Its creating a flipbook between cracks and non cracks

[sonic musk]

bruh the iron golem eyes glow ain't working

[hoary forge]

Yeah, probably 😂

sorry whoever runs the account

[languid tinsel]

Not sorry it's weird to take screenshots and use it as news

[rough path]

Depends really if the person gave consent

[sonic musk]

i effed up

[sonic musk]

got the cracksglowing

[rich vault]

Looks like all fields are offset by 0.5 in the atmosphere file

[rough path]

Thanks for confirming as well

[valid thistle]

bruh

[rich vault]

Oh, even sun and moon colors are out of sync with each other. I think it might be because time_of_day is measured for each light source differently, and atmosphere file for some reason uses time of moon instead of sun. That must be a bug

Didn't add the sunlight just yet

Left is my deferred atmosphere fit, right is Hosek-Wilkie atmosphere model that I was using as a reference. Quite happy with the results, once the sunlight is in, it should look very realistic, since it's based on proper atmosphere model.

[sonic musk]

So no preview or release today bruh

[rough path]

Previews are usually Thursdays

[rough path]

Very interesting, do you plan to release your configs or is it private use?

[rich vault]

Yeah, I'll release once it's done. Might take a few days

[rough path]

Im waiting for maybe 1
20.50

If I release my wip now, 1.20.40 might jave breaking changes

[hoary forge]

same lol

[rich vault]

RIght, that's a good point. But it might be a while until deferred is fully stable tho, might as well release things now and fix it if anything breaks

[rough path]

Thats also good, but since 1.20.40 might be this week, not gonna bother

[languid tinsel]

I'm gonna bet no preview tomorrow because yesterday was a holiday, but maybe thursday

[celest sluice]

At this point it's usually Thursday

[languid tinsel]

There is actaully a slight time bubble around Redmond which causes it to slip back a day. Thursday is the new Wednesday

[devout barn]

Preview actually released yesterday 🥱

[mystic thistle]

Heard it hear folks @languid tinsel is delaying the preview... AGAIN

[languid tinsel]

Nooooo

[elfin flower]

this is sunday isn't it?

[hoary forge]

it’s not Monday?

[stoic orchid]

I tried to calculate Mars time for the Q&A announce. Got bored. It's probably Monday there also.

[rough path]

@stoic orchid also you could try using discords timestamp feature so it automatically converts to peoples local timezone

[hoary forge]

is this correct? <t:1695398400:t>

[hasty grotto]

Does it count as an "official #AskMojang" event?

I thought that was a different thing

[sonic musk]

i dont quite think so
it's not quite official

[elfin flower]

probably not since it was only just q&a on this server and specially for scripting-api and editor

[lethal pumice]

beta day?

[rough path]

Not surprising given xbox already has deferred rendering

[devout barn]

It is still weird though that Xbox Series S & X don’t have their own versions and instead run the Xbox One version

[rough path]

Dev kits maybe

[devout barn]

But I guess technically all Bedrock platforms run the same-ish Bedrock version

So really the Series X is running the same version as your phone

[devout barn]

But it’s Microsoft’s own console and game? 🤔

Yeah but this is MS we're talking about

it's not me... or is it? jk i wouldnt do this server dirty like that lol

[rough path]

In lighting/global.json, pbr -> blocks, its an object containing only 1 key. Is there more plans to expand the pbr fields?

[prisma niche]

I wouldn't change any of those values above 0. I don't like it, especially on entities because it makes entities appear reflective and smooth.

[rough path]

Thats not what Im asking

[prisma niche]

I think it accepts key frames, but haven't checked myself since I hate it

[rough path]

Not even roughness?

Yeah, Im staying away from entities pbr for now albeit I already made some pbr for some entities

[prisma niche]

I think the 3 values are Roughness, Emissivity and reflectivity

It is global MER so

[rich vault]

M for Metalness, not reflectivity

[prisma niche]

I calls it reflectivity cuz idk

[rough path]

Yes that I know, but thats not what Im asking

[rich vault]

Maybe that was needed to future proof if they ever wanted to add more PBR channels

[rough path]

Perhaps, I just find it strange to make them as objects rather than just a key in the pbr field

Now I need to mess with terrain_texture.json bc for some reasons not all of the shortnames are there

An official confirmation from a @4JStudios rumor.

I think it's hit a new low

I swear in the past I knew who owned that account
Seem to have lost if though

[hasty grotto]

"An official confirmation from a @4JStudios rumor."

What does that even mean?

[quasi wedge]

I sure hope not. They've completely changed the way one of the events functions in scripting that breaks a lot of stuff without mentioning the change

[prisma niche]

Someone claimed in toycat's comments that they're a 4j dev and they said console mc is returning

[prisma niche]

what borke

[quasi wedge]

4J isn't even associated with Minecraft anymore though

entitySpawned event no longer works every time an entity is loaded in

only works when the entity is actually spawned

oh wow

Next thing you know he'll retweet this trolls tweet

I get that that is technically the scope of the way it's named, but I need a replacement if that's what the intention is

Does this imply entityDie fires when an entity is unloaded?

[hoary forge]

the bot doesn’t leak anything

[rough path]

Memory leaks go brrr

[quasi wedge]

no clue..

[prisma niche]

bro needs to come online

[hoary forge]

oh god, i’ve rewrote the bot more than 3 times because of memory leaks

[quasi wedge]

playerSpawned event still works like this I think

[hoary forge]

it comes online an hour before to say something

[hoary forge]

playerDimensionChange when?

[quasi wedge]

nah I need a entityLoad event now

that's the only way this is getting fixed

[coral basin]

Beta when?
If this week's beta gets delayed we can all blame @lapis sierra :>

[quasi wedge]

also the new section that was added to entitySpawn is pointless

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entityinitializationcause

"Loaded" will never fire

because they changed how entitySpawn works

they didn't even mention a case for it though, so it might be on their radar

[hoary forge]

@prisma niche

:D

[prisma niche]

no blame me

[hoary forge]

next week ig

[prisma niche]

:>

[elfin flower]

today no preview?

or am I too early?

[hoary forge]

we don’t know yet

[quasi wedge]

You know when preview has a chance of showing

It's the same time regardless of the day every week 😡

[elfin flower]

so no preview today?

[rough path]

The release managers lurking: im about to end this whole mans career

[wet shell]

preview should be released at around 11:50 am est

for me

that’s when i usually see previews released

so in about 59 minutes we’ll know

[slender wren]

actually Previews should be release whenever I want one to be

[wet shell]

you ain’t no mojang dev

[prisma niche]

maybe they are

[rough path]

You can always just apply and try to be a dev

[wet shell]

i’m not an adult...

why chat go quiet

[slender wren]

I should be

(actually I shouldn't, please don't hire me right now, I don't know C++)

[rotund pivot]

😱

[devout barn]

I know C++

int main() { std::cout << "Hello world"; return 0; }```

I can start today

[sonic musk]

#include <iostream>
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

const int windowHeight = 600;
const int blockSize = 30;
int main() {
    // Initialize GLFW
    if (!glfwInit()) {
        std::cerr << "Failed to initialize GLFW" << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }
    GLFWwindow* window = glfwCreateWindow(windowWidth, windowHeight, "Minecraft Clone", nullptr, nullptr);
    if (!window) {
        std::cerr << "Failed to create GLFW window" << std::endl;
        glfwTerminate();
        return -1;
    }
    glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
    if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK) {
        std::cerr << "Failed to initialize GLEW" << std::endl;
        glfwTerminate();
        return -1;
    }
    while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) {
        // Handle input
        glfwPollEvents();
        glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
        glfwSwapBuffers(window);
    }
    glfwTerminate();
    return 0;
}

i think i am qualified

[lapis sierra]

Probably small Preview today

[sonic musk]

good things come in small packages 🙂

[devout barn]

Wow your skills are unmatched

shh dont tell them that

tho we know they use it too

[lapis sierra]

Minecraft & Ukraine News | #StandWithUkraine (@_MineNews_LIVE)

Ray Tracing for #Minecraft Xbox Series X|S was in active development — one of @Microsoft developers confirmed and denied to comment that.

(An insider given me some news)

Twitter · Sep 6, 2023, 3:13 PM

[quasi wedge]

This guy does not have an insider

[lapis sierra]

Wish they would shut down those accounts

[heady sable]

Just become a fact checker 🤓👆

[lapis sierra]

Too much work

[pure gull]

Like its for auto bots (true = added, false = deleted)

[lapis sierra]

He deleted the tweet

[vast bolt]

yep

[heady sable]

[pure gull]

I wish Twitter would have auto bots for control tweets

[lapis sierra]

*Twitter

[prisma niche]

they're in this server

[vast bolt]

hello mine news

[wet shell]

11:50 am guys

imma check twitter for new preview

[austere mirage]

No Preview? 😿

[prisma niche]

waiting for @coral basin or Kayla

[pure gull]

Maybe, before 20 minutes

[lapis sierra]

Did we have preview last week? I can't remember

[prisma niche]

ye

Preview days are Thursdays now

[inland geyser]

No beta.
If they where android would have updated

[wet shell]

depends actually

[chrome plover]

It's just a burning memory

[hasty grotto]

Testflight when

[pure gull]

Android is for Friday usually if not technically

[rich vault]

Looks like tweets disappear whenever someone posts a link here. We should make a bot to automate that

[lapis sierra]

Full Block Destroy Times list when

[wet shell]

no preview 😢

[vast bolt]

@pure gull This is untrue 😉

Yah

Thanks for confirming @hoary forge

[prisma niche]

:>

[wet shell]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-crying-sad-upset-spongebob-squarepants-gif-10015729

me when no preview

[prisma niche]

we will know in 4 minutes

[pure gull]

So don't be surprised even if someone posts first, then I can confirm what does that mean

[devout barn]

I feel like there have been a couple times where a preview came out after 12pm est

[prisma niche]

you follow me

[pure gull]

Um specially? That's ok

[lapis sierra]

12:00

[pure gull]

Wait before 10 minutes

[wet shell]

https://tenor.com/view/angai313-spongebob-sad-spongebob-crying-gif-21679826

[pure gull]

I feel like 12:12 posted a xkingdark updates

[slender wren]

good find

[prisma niche]

you do like my tweets but don't follow

anyways bye no beta i go work on addon

[lapis sierra]

Okay no preview probably

[coral sparrow]

preview is dropping tomorrow probably

[prisma niche]

yep

might be new deferred stuff

hope so

[pure gull]

Technically, Wednesday is snapshot, so Thursday is Preview

[coral sparrow]

if it’s the first 1.20.40 beta then it’s highly likely

[wet shell]

i hope

[prisma niche]

I am curious as to how they will fix the lighting issue with caves

[wet shell]

i’m trying my best to wait for deferred on switch

[coral sparrow]

yea

[sonic musk]

it would be easy i think

[coral sparrow]

your switch would probably melt

[prisma niche]

yea. The way I see is that the light passes through disabled blockfaces

i might be wrong

[sonic musk]

bro is about to cook literally 🔥🔥

[wet shell]

me who had ultra hal shaders on switch with no problems:

[sonic musk]

i am worried about water instead

[prisma niche]

water is fine, but also weird.

[sonic musk]

the ocean floor is very weird

[prisma niche]

I want wavy foliage

[sonic musk]

yuh just like java opengl 3.2 update

[limber ledge]

Kayla has flight right now I guess

[lapis sierra]

Looking at her Twitter huh

[limber ledge]

Yeah

[valid thistle]

atleast put the statistics

theres beta today

confirmed by xkingdarkx

[wet shell]

bro really believes that

[elfin flower]

hmm, I'm seeing someone 'typing' in the announcement

I wonder who's that.

[wet shell]

hmmm

[valid thistle]

im beinf sarcastix

[wet shell]

sarcastix

[sonic musk]

lets go (this is a joke)

[hasty grotto]

Another minecraft news post

[sonic musk]

i am just joking ofc

[hasty grotto]

"__@__Smasher (Mojang insider) confirms 1.20.40.20"

[elfin flower]

I'm guessing it gonna be something unrelated to that

they're kept typing and not typing at the same time for 10 mins now

maybe something bigger than that?

[pure gull]

I don't think they want to study rumours to get a leak, for example, ibxtoycat was in the minecraft leak video

[sonic musk]

blud is doing the ctr+c and ctr+v to troll you

[rough path]

Lets keep the false information joke to a minimum please

[sonic musk]

i won't do it anymore

[lethal pumice]

no beta?

[sonic musk]

yeah not today 😦

[lethal pumice]

sad

@languid tinsel be playin w us fr fr

[sonic musk]

hope release and preview come out the tomorrow at the same day

[languid tinsel]

Wow you confirmed it!

[elfin flower]

I'm hoping that memory leak thing is gone on the upcoming stable releases

because I can't play minecraft at all due to that for some reason

[lethal pumice]

press the button dammit

[languid tinsel]

TBF I said that it is unlikely to come out today 😄

[lethal pumice]

button be playin hard to press

[languid tinsel]

It moved I can't find it

I don't know why King would be able to confirm or deny a preview

[lethal pumice]

aight gotta wait another day for beta/preview hope ya look for the button thoroughly

[lethal pumice]

he is the singular dev working on Minecraft updates. Kayla works for him :))

also, I am the insider

(always inside never touching grass)

[charred ocean]

im an insider too i get paid 1m dollars every month guys

[lethal pumice]

I take screenshots of Kayla's conversation here and sell them as NFTS (I'm joking obviously plz don't ban me)

[charred ocean]

ok

[languid tinsel]

This seems out of hand now

[lethal pumice]

I got my reputation dipped in reddit by telling the r/Minecraft sub that you can get addons on bedrock for free too you don't have to pay for them all. oh boy the downvotes 💀

[hasty grotto]

I find it funny how many people think you can only get content from the marketplace

many people still think all bedrock addons are capable of are those little retextures and slight mob behaviour changes

[lethal pumice]

tbf they most of them get angry when you praise bedrock Even a little. they can't stand that addons have advanced so much that they can now compare with some of the mods in java.

and those addons advanced addons aren't even in the marketplace. they are mostly found like the mods in java

sorry I got out of topic.

[quasi wedge]

well yeah

they allow people to post their Mods their as blatant advertisement but will take down your add-on for the same reason

[lethal pumice]

I am so much waiting for r/MCPE to be up again

it's been so long!!

[languid tinsel]

They might not be back, may just stay shutdown

[hoary forge]

^-^

[hoary forge]

;w;

[hoary forge]

apparently me posting a banana emoji means that a preview is confirmed

[hoary forge]

oh

[languid tinsel]

Can we give you feature requests then? 😮

[charred ocean]

lol yes we should get em

if not. pls blame @languid tinsel for that

i will go sleep and escape it meanwhile then

[languid tinsel]

I am thinking there will be cool things in this weeks preview

[cerulean quarry]

No beta?

[charred ocean]

most probably tmr or next week

[vast bolt]

No more betas ever

[charred ocean]

also it's raining I'm going to sleep. Thanks for the golden time 🥱✌️

[cerulean quarry]

So we moved from Wednesday to Thuesday

looks like

[vast bolt]

A while ago it used to be thursday

[cerulean quarry]

ya i know

i actualy why not but i have to learn to be hyped mainly for thuesday

so i will not get sad

[hoary forge]

Sure-! I would love to hear your requests 🙂

[hoary forge]

;w;

[limber tiger]

Preview tomorrow with 1.20.40.20

[slender wren]

No shit Sherlock

[heady sable]

Preview next week

[proven wolf]

Preview next month

[hoary forge]

Confirmed! No preview this week

No 🍌 ;w;

[languid tinsel]

Why no preview this week?

[hoary forge]

because we already got enough previews and because it's all the friends that we made along the way

[lapis sierra]

I rather have preview than friends

[hoary forge]

:<

[teal acorn]

when beta?

[mystic thistle]

👏 you 👏 know 👏 what 👏 you 👏 did 👏

[hoary forge]

🤔 hmm, why do i feel like Ben has been delaying the previews all along and has been blaming Thomas so no one blames him

[mystic thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/king-of-the-hill-dale-gribble-pocket-sand-pocket-sand-gif-3699662

[languid tinsel]

My button actually just turns a light on in bens room to press his button

[hoary forge]

that’s why he’s been blaming you

[silver flume]

I knew thomas had some part in this!

[sonic musk]

is this a bug

[upbeat surge]

hey!
is this a joke or a fact?

[sonic musk]

joke

[upbeat surge]

ty mate

[sonic musk]

np

[rich vault]

It's auto exposure

[sonic musk]

oh okay thanks

[limber ledge]

Good morning everyone! It will be a long day.

[sonic musk]

good evening.

[limber tiger]

Preview day!

[sonic musk]

I hope so.

[hoary forge]

Minecraft

[wet shell]

it’s preview day!!

hopefully 1.20.40

i wonder what new deferred features we will have

[elfin flower]

it's Thursday, or as I like to call it Wednesday.

[sonic musk]

I feel hopeless about preview

[elfin flower]

I'm expecting only stable and probably mali-gpu on this one

[sonic musk]

good guess

hope they fix the memory issue

[elfin flower]

yeah, that's only thing I wanted

I thought 1.20.15 fixes it until playing for couple of days

it absolutely worse than previous version, I could play like 5 mins on a singleplayer world which, good christ that didn't happen before .15

[sonic musk]

i can play but not for a long time

[hoary forge]

i'm waiting for new editor things :<

[limber tiger]

90% sure it's .40 preview today

imo

with how smalls the last betas were

[sonic musk]

don't think so i think it would be 1.20.30

[limber tiger]

let's see who will be right

[sonic musk]

what if they release both

[limber tiger]

Hmmm they never released updates in thursday

only tuesday or rarely wednesday

[sonic musk]

bruh you right however i am still on 1.20.30

[pure gull]

Gegy (@gegybeans)

mmm, thursday

Twitter · Sep 7, 2023, 1:15 PM

Thursday is everything

I don't want to be a very big day lol

[heady sable]

I probably think the changes to armorers is going to be added - As they added it in the pre-release yesterday - But that is just a guess

[limber tiger]

what does this mean btw?

[lethal pumice]

isn't he a Java dev?

[pure gull]

"Everything" is a new announcement

[lethal pumice]

MC live?

[heady sable]

That a bug has be reproduced by a multiple players, but not by MoJIRA moderators or Mojangsters

[lethal pumice]

oh and.....
It's beta day my dudes!!!

probably

[limber tiger]

lmao
then MoJIRA moderators or Mojangsters are really weird

because with the bug report it doesn't make sense that Mojang can't reproduce it

[heady sable]

Usually the bug just happens "randomly" without any clue why - So it is still a bug. Like villagers randomly losing their trades. No-one knows why it happens, no-one can reproduce it reliably, but a lot of people suffer from it

[rough path]

*she

[limber tiger]

that's the report in question

[heady sable]

Okay... that is an interesting confirmation status lol

[limber tiger]

lmao

[pure gull]

Waiting for a banana from Jdavidfries with nametag

[heady sable]

🤣

[limber tiger]

aaand nothing

[pure gull]

This is progress during uploading videos with subtitles

[rough path]

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-1-20-2-pre-release-1?2

[hasty grotto]

Probably just a personal project

[charred ocean]

🍌 day?

definitely didn't steal @hoary forge's line

i discovered it

[limber tiger]

When a bug is set to confirmed on the tracker, that mean it will be fixed at some point?

[rough path]

Maybe, maybe not

[limber tiger]

ah

[devout barn]

It just means it's valid and has been reproduced, i.e. it's confirmed to be an actual bug in the game

And the status is usually set by MoJira helpers & moderators, so developers can still come in and say the bug won't be fixed or is working as intended

[limber tiger]

oh okay

I still hope they will fix this bug

[charred ocean]

idk why bedrock is little buggier than java

[devout barn]

i mean it is a much bigger game than java

[charred ocean]

what if it had updates just only for bug fixing. 🤔

[wet shell]

maybe ios support for deferred will be coming in this preview

[quasi wedge]

There's something lacking in this chat today

[celest sluice]

🍌

[inland geyser]

45 minutes till touch down

[wet shell]

i like your pfp

i like trains too

[inland geyser]

Thx.

Well the last train with operational ability that is

[hoary forge]

is it 🍌 day? :D

why do i feel like in a few months, more people start saying it lol

[wet shell]

oh wow i didn’t know that

[inland geyser]

34 minutes remaining

Watch kayla at the last minute say no preview

[rough path]

For?

[sonic musk]

i don't feel that much confidence about preview or release getting released

[hoary forge]

ios preview is still not out yet

[wet shell]

preview

[hoary forge]

but it could release seconds before the changelog's out

[rough path]

Why 34?

[wet shell]

usually releases between 11:50 am est

and 12:00

[inland geyser]

Exactly

[hoary forge]

and 12:05

[pure gull]

and 12:15

[rough path]

So thats still not 34

[pure gull]

Different times

[hoary forge]

Yep

[inland geyser]

Also guys dont get to hyped

It likely bug fixes

[quasi wedge]

no

I will be hyped for bug fixes

[inland geyser]

Correction: too hyped about features

[pure gull]

For the better performance

[rough path]

I only get hyped bc i write the changelogs for mc discord

[vast bolt]

"ooh thats a fun bug fix, what emoji should I use for it"

[quasi wedge]

maybe the 🐛 !

[hoary forge]

🐛

[hoary forge]

Oooo it matches me role color

[quasi wedge]

They 🔨 ed out some bugs this week

[limber tiger]

I really hope we have a preview

[pure gull]

Every added feature has a bug before making a better performance fix

[rough path]

Bug fixes less so emojis but the changes Its exciting to try and assign an emoji

but like honestly by now they should figure out that just cos we say a lot of stuff that doesn't mean it's fact lol

[elfin flower]

[slender wren]

mods can you ban him from this Discord so he stops spreading these fake stuff?

I believe it's Marplex_03

[celest sluice]

They deleted the tweet 😂

[hoary forge]

they also deleted this one

[sonic musk]

Is he getting paid or what

To spread misinformation

[slender wren]

actually I think his English is just bad, I don't think he's willingly spreading the misinformation

[elfin flower]

yeah.

[slender wren]

He doesn't understand what we say as a joke and what is serious

[elfin flower]

well after all he's russian.

[celest sluice]

With a ukraine flag as a pfp?

[sonic musk]

Ukraine student

[elfin flower]

russian and ukraine are kinda the same, they spoke the same language so that's what I assume

[celest sluice]

Their pfp though..

[elfin flower]

let's not get political though.

[celest sluice]

Yeah

[slender wren]

Uh... No?
Russians speak Russian and Ukrainians speak Ukranian

A lot of Ukrainians speak Russian like a lot of Swedish speak English, doesn't make them similar

[elfin flower]

that's what I experienced so far with those ukrainians.

had the whole telegram for it

most of them here spoke russians.

[slender wren]

like I said, 80% of Swedish speak English, that doesn't make them English

it's just a very widespread second language

[elfin flower]

make them english what

english is an language, not a country.

[hoary forge]

but i live in english

[dreamy bison]

england

[elfin flower]

yeah ik england is a thing

[slender wren]

🤦‍♂️ English is a nationality

not only a language

(are you American or what?)

[elfin flower]

my point still stand though. they're language, not a country.

I'm not even american or those

[rough path]

Anyways, getting off topic

[slender wren]

just need to clarify that Enlish is a nationality, of the multination state of the UK

[devout barn]

This is so funny lol

[vast bolt]

Yes, as someone who lives in Enland I can confirm this.

[hoary forge]

Enlish and Enland

[sonic musk]

Praying for you 🙏
I hope you get well

[vast bolt]

I hope so 😔

[hoary forge]

those actually sound like an actual country and language

[hoary forge]

:<

[languid tinsel]

What did I have a part in?

[devout barn]

The bad things of course

[hoary forge]

Who would've thought that the launcher would look this good today

i still remember the launcher that was before this one lol

[languid tinsel]

Is this the third launcher?

[hoary forge]

i'm not sure tbh

[languid tinsel]

I remember the og one with the white frameing and the old blog in the middle

[hoary forge]

oh yeah, i remember that one

[silver flume]

That's what someone who knows they had a part in something would say

[hoary forge]

hmm, sussy Thomas

[obsidian lark]

I remember using the one that just had login fields. 😅

[elfin flower]

same. a dirt background, basic java boxes with login fields and 'update' tick thing

[obsidian lark]

I also remember using this one too:

[elfin flower]

yeah those.

[celest sluice]

This was where I started

[obsidian lark]

I have more memories of that one too, but I started playing during the Halloween update in Alpha.

[languid tinsel]

Scrolls before it got renamed ✨

[silver flume]

Ayo the old logo goes hard

I remember trying to install Minecraft on the family computer. Waited like 10 hours for it to download and install and then the computer was too old to run it anyway 😭

[limber tiger]

Damn it, Mojang are so dumb lol

[pure gull]

Obviously it is

[hoary forge]

@tropic chasm, what are you doing in my game?

[limber ledge]

Soon is soonier than before.

[tropic chasm]

Im everywhere everytime

[hoary forge]

hmm, sus

[lapis sierra]

Anyone else see this?

[sonic musk]

what?

can you share the link

[rough path]

Yep

It worked on my machine...for a while :D Then we never managed to get it properly merged

[sonic musk]

blud was salty

[devout barn]

Saw that too but I wonder if he was allowed to say that lol

[sonic musk]

I think so after all that Activision blizzard deal is done

[rough path]

A standard MS NDA states information shared under nda expires after 5 years

So...maybe?

[sonic musk]

Very interesting that ray tracing news on Xbox resurface when Activision deal is done and shaders on bedrock are coming or it could just be their plan

[rotund pivot]

👀 what's your source on that figure?

[rough path]

[mystic thistle]

A Microsoft person told me under NDA 👁️👄👁️

[rotund pivot]

🤔

[rough path]

👁️ Ebic emoji fail

[devout barn]

What if the NDA said you couldn't speak about the NDA 🤔

[languid tinsel]

The first rule of nda's is don't talk about nda's

[tropic chasm]

nondisclosure agreement 🤓

[hoary forge]

you already broke the first role :)

[wet shell]

here’s another fun fact

someone managed to get ray tracing on xbox using dev mode

not many know tho

it’s patched now sadly

i have video tho

[lapis sierra]

That dif then when they acidentally left in a preview build and people were using it on xbox?

[sonic musk]

that's night

[hasty grotto]

no

someone got shaders in dev mode but not ray tracing

that was from a preview accidentally having ray tracing enabled

[sonic musk]

do you mean this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQCY1BtSxfs&ab_channel=Azure

[hasty grotto]

yeah

[sonic musk]

this was running pretty terrible on series s and the upscaling was not fsr

now that fsr 3 is annouced

wonder if they can introduce fsr 3 to xbox

[limber ledge]

AMD already announced FSR 3 is coming to Xbox

We just don't know yet the ETA for Minecraft

Btw, I think Mojang is waiting the next Nintendo to release Ray Tracing on consoles. Why? Because RTX is delayed too much (probably due to PS5 KIT issues), while now Mojang has PS5 kits but the next Nintendo is expected to launch next year and the rumours says it will have Nvidia RTX + DLSS technology. So, since Mojang (and Microsoft) don't want to break the parity for Minecraft on consoles, they may waiting the next Nintendo console and so they can release RTX and Next-Gen Update on all consoles at the same time. Rumours also says Nintendo already showed their new console at Gamescom in the closed doors, so maybe Microsoft already have its KIT and Mojang already started working on the next-gen update for next Nintendo.

[sonic musk]

i don't think ray tracing will come to the switch without dlss 3

[slender wren]

well leaks indicate the next gen will use DLSS 3.1

[sonic musk]

hmm so it does include framegen

[slender wren]

next nintendo will very likely not have RTX. no verified leaker has ever pointed to this

Current concensus amongst leakers is 12GB RAM and DLSS 3.1, no mention of RTX whatsoever

• some news agencies (Eurogamer and I don't remember what) have had an official preview, and mentionned Zelda BoTW running in 60FPS and 1080p, no mention of RTX

(current switch runs the game at 30FPS and 720p)

[sonic musk]

this is allegedly https://videocardz.com/newz/nintendo-switch-2-allegedly-ran-matrix-awakens-ue5-demo-powered-by-nvidia-dlss-during-private-gamescom-showcase

it ran with ray tracing

so it does support ray tracing at hardware level

[slender wren]

ray tracing != RTX

[sonic musk]

oh okay

[slender wren]

RTX is a ray tracing system, but not all ray tracing is RTX

though it does use Nvidia technology...

[sonic musk]

no it can be called "RTX" because switch is supposed to use ampere from rtx 3000 series

how ever you are right we cannot call that RTX

[slender wren]

well anyway if it's a 2024 launch we'll know soon enough

[sonic musk]

yeah i am very curious about the price

[slender wren]

likely 400-500 US$/€ (but that's pure speculation)

[sonic musk]

switch 2 lite is gonna be interesting too

[slender wren]

though they will probably wait a few years for maximum profit befire releasing it I think

[limber ledge]

80% it will have RTX. The next-gen consoles are designed for RTX. Even Asus Rog Ally have it, and so Nintendo why not? If it will have the performance issues, the DLSS technology will join the chat.

[limber ledge]

Of course it will come with DLSS 3. I don't know why you thought without DLSS 3.

[sonic musk]

revisiting my old world with deferred lighting has been really good except my fps

[mystic thistle]

A joke, don't worry 🤣

[sonic musk]

with and without point light

[heady sable]

Looks better

[sonic musk]

idk why but fire with point light doesn't affect performance too much unlike lava with point light

even tho i was in the nether with a lot of fire

[rich vault]

There is a lot more lava than fire in the nether

[sonic musk]

this is without bloom but with point light

look really clean

pray for my pc🙏

[elfin flower]

too much bloom for me

[sonic musk]

no bloom

[elfin flower]

I like it

[sonic musk]

it is a shame that lava affects performance too much

[elfin flower]

I hope the bloom is adjustable though

since it's literally too bright like there's sun on front of you

[sonic musk]

i went into the lava with point light with spectator mode very glitchy and cool

my solution to the nether being too dark

pure oppsite

[languid tinsel]

Hey can you tell me what else you know under NDA? Cheers

[sonic musk]

@rough path sorry for the ping
need to ask you something

[rough path]

Yeah

[rough path]

Oh, and and

[sonic musk]

this weeks preview seems to be having a problem with switching texture in pbr mode

redstone block lit can not be lit in deferred

[languid tinsel]

Oh did you hear about in the system though?

[rough path]

No, thats out of my jurisdiction

[chrome plover]

No way they just leaked

[rough path]

Really? Is it just redstone lamp lit? Bc anvil damaged works

[sonic musk]

it does work on other blocks redstone ore doesn't seem to be working

[rough path]

Hmmm, I'll check it out. Could it be possible bc of point light? Since lit redstone gives off a faint light level?

Did it work in 1.20.30?

[sonic musk]

yup

[sonic musk]

i will look into it

[sonic musk]

what I have noticed is unlike redstone lamp , redstone ore doesn't have an official lit_ore texture

[rough path]

Yeah I checked and it uses redstone_ore so that means you need to define a separate terrain_texture and change the blocks.json for lit ore

[sonic musk]

thanks so they changed it? it was working

yeah i just saw the blocks.json from latest preview sample
