Oh
Idk I'm fairly new here
So I cannot mention the word that rhymes with tomato got it
Potato
day
today is Apr!l 1st
it's the 32nd of March. Today is the final day of March
Oh shit you are a mod
no way they leaked it!
Viewing the source of that redirects to YouTube lol
and a very merry unbirthday to you
thankyou ms. banana
I’m sorry but WHAT https://twitter.com/krtzyy/status/1774807075300024376?s=46&t=08outuUcLJ_NFi9Msg6plg
Why can’t this be in the actual versions 😭
Mojang loves to troll every year tho
I swear they spend 50% of their work hours making the snapshots
They stole it from forknit lego
Today is second day of the month that comes after March
Still March 32nd for me
I am early then
February-1 for me
I’m really hoping mojang adds the floatator block in some form or way in the actual game
It would be great to have tbh
They have added some stuff from various april fools updates into the game. So there's somewhat of a chance
like stained glass as example
it really would be, but idk how bedrock gonna work with that one.
When was stained glass in an April fools update
How do I access the april fools update btw?
ahh, so it's not on regular bedrock?
oh
I think it was the trendy update
Horses were also in an april fools update before they were added into minecraft
And coal blocks I believe
pretty sure the horse was added due the favor of "many animals" java mod.
maybe
piston was also added or ported from the piston mod in the early days
Bedrock has no floatator block
Which was obvious
ye, and tree generation was also added from an outside source at first
Although there is mhafys ship addon
And Notch didn't even allow the guy to look at Minecraft's source code
well it's obviously enough
it's not even mojang who made it, rather than just give some studios an idea and make it as addon
I remember watching SSundee and LancyPooh play with the airship mod on FTB
It would be cool if we can somehow access the moving block logic.
it's more like moving tile_entity,
can't really say it a block if it's moving. right?
1.20.90.20 hopefully? 👀
1.21.0.20
Quite early for that
Ah I see
I hope 1.21 preview will have something big for deferred
Preview 1.21.0.20 today?
Stop ruining the fun!! We need another .90, we haven’t had one in quite a while
We never had one
Never understood this 😬😭
Yeah, me either
true fr
Preview today hopefully
jesss
Snapshot is out.
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-24w14a
2/10. Recommend 24w14potato
Wait
So does that mean no 1.21 preview?
Probably means a small preview today
Or
A very rare .90 preview
oh todays wednesday
Better water hopefully
Water reflections
I really want wavy water in deferred so bad
Or tone napping configuration Or customizeable SSS
Or something similar to it
Or hopefully cubemap support
Today
Heck
Maybe we could get ps4/5 deferred
Ngl would be cool if we can just provide a normal map and control the intensity of the wave
Oh yeah this preview for sure
What are these “maps” y’all talk about so much
We probably get a 1.20.80.25 preview and then the next one will be 1.21.0.20, similar to last years 1.20.0.20 preview cycle
Ah
☠️ nah
Boy I hope not
Imagine if there's no preview and we get bedrock April fool's edition
It is my guess, but I can be wrong 🤷♂️
.24 was too small
We had .25's before
It's bigger then 1.20.73 for sure 😂😂
Ye
What day is it?
Kayla-day!!
lol
De-toggle day 🤔
Potato day?
That was two days sago 🥱
Good point.
March 34th
Not again…
Will it ever be April?
nah, if you read the 2024 changelogs you would know april got removed for competitive balance
Ok. Sounds reasonable
i hope it's 1.21 preview
🥹 im just waiting for 1.21.10 for HCF to be de-experimentified
I just need the rest of the custom item components
I just need $5.76
I can give you about 30 hours of work for that
No thanks, I need at least 87 hours a week
Can I count on you to be available 25/8
Yes
On second evaluation, I feel like you dont have enough time to contribute to the project
😔
Preview da- it’s Kayla day!


ello 👀
Lawn mower day?
my friend's birthday kele ka din (hindi)
Preview when
Wednesday.
hi let's put an additional pause on preview by about 30 minutes
finishing up some work
Should be rolling out soon. iOS and PS4 Previews appear to be a little delayed.
Lol, iOS is always first
😔 iOS and PS4 forgot to feed their armadillos thats why theyre rolling slow
bogged stuck in pipelline 
okay we are in the clear nice lady finished some of my work and the other was bunch was not substantial
Your last one
wow... that's a bit much.
Hey! So how did you managed to get Preview on PlayStation? I know that PS have been strict about things with games & beta thing
sorry, you slay as always💖
Was it hard?
Hurray
I'm not privy to the discussions and work that led to Preview on PS4.
Simple, kayla said to them, "If no preview for ps4, I use my AI power to destroy you"
Okay okay
Noooo ;w;
I bet it was @languid tinsel fault for delaying the preview on iOS and PS4
i hope 1.21 adds bone melting gun
Let's start some more theories
what I miss?
1.21.0.20 is rolling out?
oh ok cool
Kayla confirmed a preview is coming today
In a few minutes I guess
I may not be here to attend. Work 
That would certainly fit the description of a preview
Update seems to be out on Android
It is yeah
What about changelog
1.21.0.20 is out on android
OH LETS GOOO
Really?
no changelog, write one yourselves
Lazy devs 😠
- added shaders
yay!!
maybe we can use IA for that?
bruh
ok then its your not final day :3
It's been getting updates quickly before as well, but I'm not sure if it was ever faster than ios
I think they are still writing it
lol, that might be it
Let's collectively remind them to format it properly
thats how we humans do
also, beta aside. Snapshot gave the signs of java's system upgrades. It's a 64 bit operating system only game now. Rip. 32 bit PCs
They do sometimes
Fingers crossed we get new deferred stuff
32 bit is dead now
who use 32bits nowadays
It's never written last minute. Each entry is compiled from check-ins, and there is a review process where we make final edits before publishing 1 day before a Preview.
seems strict enough by your higher orders. Ain't they?
Ah, the reason I said sometimes is because the version number is sometimes wrong
accidents happen
So what I'm hearing is that they are finished with the preview a day or so before it's published
casually waits for the bot to make it's post entry
Mistakes happen, the devs are only human. But not me, I'm a semi-sentient LLM.
So I wasn’t entirely sure
ChatGPT NPC!!
Hol up wdym semi-sentient
a wha?
eyo what.
Never heard of cyborgs?
or humanoids more preferably i assume
Kayla is the all knowing-one
They're people with chatgpt built into them. Half their sentences are AI assisted
Wait hold up
The bot is dead?
Kayla is not a dev and is a semi sentient too?
Nope lol
i think i saw a video with a man predicting the technological future on instagram. wait a sec
@languid tinsel !!
Real
(no, /srs)
also the API needs to refresh before the bot can create a post
Oh no I have to update my add-on already!
#off-topic ?
I was hoping for another 1.20.80 preview
yay
I don’t even know what it means
yeah i should have done that lol
So now the particle PBR works properly?
Texture set support for deferred
We can make metal or emissive particles now
It had issues
so it’s not even a new feature
😭
Oh well
Maybe next week
We will get more changes and features
Since this preview focuses on 1.21
#1217138140813463622 message
So it was related to the Marketplace
Bro where is the TestFlight update
@wet shell
Ok
Friday right? Pls let it be friday
Sorry @stoic orchid has trapped me in a basement now so I can no longer do such things /s
kayla?!
It'd be nice if there was a "Quick Play" button at the start screen and load up your most recent world :/
The launcher has it
no as in "in game"
I dont use the launcher
MC is pinned on my taskbar. Besides, mobile doesn't have a launcher
Launcher is useless for Bedrock
block displayer entity would be nice as well
I see add-ons where developers make 50+ blocks just to replicate blocks hopping
Poor man's block display is an invisible entity holding the block
Indeed
custom item frames when
Meanwhile me making a block item displayer with just 1 block and no entities https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1103295128782766142
Weekend plans: Trying to survive Hardcore mode.
Now available for testing in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, in this mode death is permanent, and you can't respawn – which is why we'll keep this mode in testing until we're confident the experience is smooth for both players and creators. Learn more: https://aka.ms/HardcoreMode
Interesting
yeah. Posting about bedrock content isn't left out lol
Is there a reason why they never tweeted anything about deferred when it came out???
cuz deferred need a lot more work than hardcore
I may know the answer
Still very early in development also kayla did tweet about it
Ok
They also don't wanna announce something that might never be finished. (I may be wrong)
Maybe when deferred is finished in features and they start optimizing it
They will announce it
defered is also more technical thing and its hard to explain what is actually is for ppls
they just thing its some kind of shader lmao
shader what is not working on all platforms and you can't enable it without any kind of pack
avarage mc user has no ida how to try defered
but for hardcore there is just a toggle
It can’t be that hard
Just enable the experimental toggle and the toggle in video settings
With a pbr pack enabled
ya, you need that pack as well bruh
Trust me, a lot of people don't know to use a deferred pack
trust me, lot of ppls dont even know that non-markatplace packs even exists
Even if MCPEDL is the biggest site for Add-Ons and maps, this is true.
ya
fax, see rtx
Also could be because they don't want to do the same thing as SDGP
True
Yea.. remember that masterpiece
Also
That reminds me
I have a theory
I think ray tracing is the super duper graphics pack that they were working on
After they found that big code flaw
And had to make it all over again
Don't think so
I don't think RTX was a thing then they worked on the SDGP
SDGP was meant for all platforms
From scratch
Yeah
They said it was too demanding
For Xbox
And mobile
Cause
It’s ray tracing
So they just renamed it
No
Not really no
nope and never was
there could be some code from sdgp that is in rtx
I wouldn't say that it was ray tracing
RTX was a nvidia sponsorship for the 20series GPUs
Don't think they can do that
but no
RTX was a merely a facade to show off nvidia gpus
Uhm, I think they worked on RTX after they canceled sdgp
When were both RD and SGDP announced?
Rtx was announced 14 days after sdgp cancellation…
more like they did the sdgp pipeline alone
while rtx was a collab between nvidia and minecraft
They couldn’t have made that entire pipeline in 14 days
SDGP was announced in 2017
So did nvidia work on rtx?
RTX was shown in 2019
They could've cancelled SDGP a while back and then after a few months, they announced RTX after they started working on it a bit
it is a collab after all
Yeah
But how long were they working on it before announcement??
Who knows

Sdgp was supposed to work on Hal
Which was the one we were shown in the trailer
But then after a few months I saw videos saying that the sdgp in the trailers was not the one that we were getting
That it looked a lot different
This was said from mojang dev btw
So what could that “new sdgp” be?
Remember that deferred has lots of features from mc legends
So maybe they did the same with rtx
From the trailer, SDGP looked mostly ready, It looked like it only needed to be tested on all platforms and made sure that it works flawlessly with all of it's features
Yeah
But Then
They had code flaws
Saying it wouldn’t work with the old code
Which I’m guessing means it wouldn’t work with Hal
So they had to make a new engine
So they had to remake the entire thing
Legends uses PBR, same with Deferred and RTX but that doesn't mean that it uses any of those
The sky…
And the Lighting
Keep in mind, Legends was built on a 1.17 fork
Yeah
Probably how I get good performance on switch
With those graphics
60 FPS
And going down to 30-20 if lots of mobs are around
Like piglins
I mean it's still the Bedrock engine
It's not out yet
Neither is Hadrcore, it's just a first iteration

Both Deferred and Hardcore have different teams working on them
And Deferred did kinda get an announcement
Highly technical experiment vs parity feature guranteed to come
your right i guess
Preview day my dudes
No preview
did someone ask about beta on a weekend?
Probably to save hyping it up for when it's available on more devices and closer to release?
Also the name itself isn’t even the true name for it I think, just the technical name
Probably better not to confuse people who don’t know what it means, especially since some people already call it shaders (when it’s not)
is there a bug reported that minecraft takes AGES to load on windows
its being a bug and its getting fixed every development cyncle lmao
it was 62% before, then 44% and now 40% lmao
they should log where its getting stack at least
It's been 40% forever for me
same
how
How many bp/rps do you have?
Too early to be tweeted from the main account. It's an early technical preview targetting you all, not general players, yet.

this this this this
If the general public greatly knew about this, the amount of people who'd show up and just whine about everything wrong with it instead of giving constructive feedback would be insane
YouTubers are the promotion for it right now. That still reaches a rather small amount of the community but I've seen some people just complain about every little thing like it's not a technical demo basically
?
Hum ok
After stupidly spitting on something it's always easier and it gets people talking about you more.
I wasn't specifically mentioning YouTubers dumping on it
I more meant random people just blindly hating cuz it runs bad on their device etc
Or still hating on it because of the original release being very broken and wacky
Or because they don’t find some packs good enough
That too
Our current limitations don't allow us to make a pack that's "good enough" to you. We can only make what's available the best we can
But that doesn't make deferred bad. Overall I think deferred looks great even with our limits
For me bedrock have a big problem visually : the lods
Bedrock could be beautiful with something better where you barely see the difference
Also it is probably because the actuals that the water is a lot more opaque on bedrock
I can see that now
To be honest whenever I play deferred it just doesn’t seem “technical” or “unfinished”
It seems like a complete experience
Probably cause of the good performance I get and barely any bugs during my experience
Or it’s just me
for the moment there are too many graphical bugs
crashs
and some features are missing
It only crashes if I take the render distance up to 24
To me it definitely feels unfinished and it needs work. But I've been a large examiner of games and systems and stuff for some time now. There's a lot of work that still needs to be done. Things like point light shadows being mad broken recently, black hole bug, weird emission maps. There's a lot of stuff that feels very, "hey this is a tech demo bear with us"
I love doing beta tests like this. I've made some "games" of my own as well so I understand things being broken and unfinished
I say "games" since they were just very barebones projects with some jump commands and stuff
But ig they were playable so they are games
Stupid theory : I think the deferred will be release when it will look like sdgp trailer
I think it they'll announce it once there's at least a free pack to use it with on the marketplace.
Which will only happen when it leaves experimental and gets added into stable release... So yeah, it'll take a while
IVE BEEN DYING FOR THIS TO GET FIXED
FOR ME ITS A BLACK SCREEN THAT TAKES AGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES FOR IT TO EVEN SHOW THE MC LOGO
Fixed in the latest preview.
Hopefully it doesn’t get reverted
I hope so
Ive been avoiding it by renaming my developer packs folder so it regens
then just putting the name back
I usually just delete my dev folder contents bc i use regolith anyways and can export it anytime
Have you tried disconnecting the ethernet cable or turning off Wifi then loading the game up?
Never actually tried that yet.
Ill try that next time I open bedrock.
It will probably get an announcement trailer or something when it’s “nearly” ready
Like 2 months before it comes to stable
I have a doubt that it will not get a trailer since it will be mostly data driven and will look different from pack to pack but who knows!!
Official Deferred Rendering Pack
That would be interesting to see
wait a sec. I didn't know that the animations for item recipes were made clean and smoother
it just feels smoother for some reason
they kinda rewrote it tbh
the old one breaks quite a lot sometimes.
also I'm surprised they didn't fix the heart/hunger animation going extremely sonic
i do use Regolith, however, i have yet to convert my old packs to use Regolith. thanks for the suggestion
so it is a new change..
yeah, originally they go flashy sometimes, which i hate and disabled it via json-ui
they also just generally made JSON UI anims smoother
does the new ore ui play screen have all of the worlds loaded at all times?
Super Deferred Graphics Pack 😏
The Super Duper Graphics Pack 2.0 
just curious if there can be a /faq release just like for the preview lol. Like, just do a /faq release and a pic of apple or an orange would pop up
What if the marketplace will have a lot of different pbr packs and mojang will show them in trailers
Like rtx
“Hey guys Ben here today we’re playing the new Minecraft deferred graphics which is definitely not a shader”
already has been done with both addons and RTX included. So i imagine mojang will not leave deferred packs to just 3rd party. They would sometime soon take actions to implement it into the marketplace once it's completed.
Ofc
How would console enjoy deferred
I’m buying every single pbr pack I can find
On the marketplace
Once it releases
most likely they will try to replicate scenes of what java pack creators are doing right now.
Obviously they want to let bedrock players enjoy what Java has
for ex. SEUS PTGI shaders which are paid
and also donations
under patreon which players can get early access to stuff they would be working
Now obviously your avg bedrock player will think these are shaders once they release
But it isn’t
But they won’t know the difference
But I wish they were
The best Minecraft Bedrock Edition Shaders you can download for FREE that brings you the immersive experience.

youtubers will most likely put shaders in their title for yt algorithms to gain more views just like this one
also,
I bet the marketplace creators will put “shader” in their pbr packs
Marketplace policies will probably prohibit that
scenes after deferred coming to Marketplace:
- Most likely 60% of the deferred packs would be paid
- youtubers will call it "deferred shaders" or just shaders for the video to pass through yt algorithm and get views
- Minecraft will highly promote deferred a lot since RTX was abandoned silently and peacefully (new strategies to buy minecraft)
- massive experiments with the deferred and expected cooler stuff than what java has and that too for free in the 3rd party section.
They don’t for those fake shaders
Sdgp will probably get recreated
Hopefully
If deferred can get everything it needs
also fun fact, it almost takes 2-3 months just for one pack to be reviewed from microsoft
Sdgp?
Super duper graphics pack
Super Duper Graphics Pack
oh lol okay
Although I'm not used to the new discord UI because i just updated, i like the friends being sorted in alphabetical order. This will make things way easier to search ig
SmokeyStack's Super Duper Graphics Pack
lol
i wish i had the time to learn about game dev and modding instead of just ripping ourselves in the education system im in
I barely even know how to make addons
Only know the basics
I’m just here to see y’all’s creations and stay updated on everything
you’re the deferred hype man, I’ve declared it so
Kmb600 hereby declares big eddy spaghetti the deferred hype man. Here, Here.
i open the task manager and end the runtime broker task. seems to fix 41% problem for me.
not really an addon but i had made something taking someone's idea lol
https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture-pack/minecraft-but-every-sound-is-ea-sports/
I hope better water comes today in this preview
Nah
Why?
Subsurface scattering is kinda working rn so it's more likely to get properly announced and we haven't even seen better water config files in the render folder yet
p-preview day!!
Minecraft Java Edition Pre release 1 has been released!
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-1-20-5-pre-release-1
New advancements and new language support
No music????
no
They nerfed wind burst
bruh we are getting alot of stuff behind the scenes
ik they did nerf wind burst
But music
Think it's a joke
The music is the best part
technical features, not gameplay
haha
so 1.21 is near isn't it?
July most likely
I was really hoping for a table yesterday 😦
At least we'll get the review today
hopefully the bugs I've had are fixed, but my only form of reporting is sending my bug into the forum chat lol
PREVIEW WHEN?!?!?
Way too late
Early june is more likely
Like they always do
Preview in 30 minutes hopefully
I have a strong feeling we won't get a preview today
why?
im up again :D
That “strong feeling” just disappeared
💀
this is now my after birthday session. happy preview day (again)
but I'm glad you are there to tell me to shut up
15 minutes
gud
:)
so now, let's wait a few minutes I guess 😂
Why?
some platforms already have .20 beta as .21
so version number skipped
wait is that lain
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
K
Lets go
😱
wut
"now available"
we were needing more painting options so yeah there we go ig
WOWEW
2 already showcased. Need to see other 3
1.21.0.21 is coming on ios!
W
lets go
now let us make our custom paintings without some wacky entity ducktape
WORLD.PNG PAINTING LES GOOOO
I love how some of them are parodies of real paintings
YEAAAAAAAAAAH
Who are you
Mojang fucking carried 1.21
Map art
I was absolutely not excited about this update when they first announced it but HOLY SHIT
now i like the painting update especially for the world.png reference
that's fucking good
PREVIEW IS OUT ON IOS
it’s .21
1 deferred fix
Looks like PlayStation got it early
Cool api stuff
NOOOO
Okay fine. Whatever. The changelog hasn't reached me yet
kind of sad they didn't get Zetterstrand to do more paintings
well heightmaps work again
Bro the graphics team is working on something big
im gonna figure out how the subsurface scattering works now
What are those
Bro I was so excited for a new deferred feature
😭
They gotta be working on something big
Maybe fancy water
So PBR support for paintings when?
I think we would need a more reliable way to rotate between paintings other than having to break and replace them over and over for that to happen
in hindsight new paintings are nice, but now it's going to be more spam placing to get the painting you want
true, javas creative inventory is a step in the right direction but there would need to be something for survival too
Flatten paintings
Interesting
I dont see a problem with that, you are usually not placing more than 3 or 4 paintings ok a build, i dont see a necessity for that
My opinion btw
Isn't it just extra tedium? They could do what they've done with other things and have an item that locks it
I wonder when editor will be done
a long..long...time later!
Dang
forget editor. Need to check the changes on touch controls though
Button overlaps and position changes??
Yeah people have been having issues with that
- replaced js with lua 😌
Wait, the changelog is out, but no new post?
oh didn't notice it was out
bot is sleepy
where bot post
@vast bolt make a post
ya, but is offline
More paintings!
Bot won't be here today
can you send the link?
thanks
Yippee heightmaps
does all Lua coders hate JS?
Probably
I’m starting to like JS because I’m pretty much just starting to get it lol
Nah, replaced JS with raw binary. Yes, you have to rewrite your code for every different pc, console, and phone. Good luck
well people atleast people won't be complaining about slow code 😂
I started learning js last week, I had a roller coaster of emotions while learning the basics, like: oh thats nice...wait do we need the ; in the end of the line or not...ohhh arrays, I know those...WHY, WHY, WHY???...oh, thats the reason
In the future we will code like “Create me an item that deals 7 damage”
And then spend an hour figuring out what the ai did wrong
i feel this so hard lol. im learning like 2 different languages at once in my classes rn. c++ and JS. this feeling is so common for me
AI?
You would do it from your mind
The thing is, I am an architecture student, not a...idk...coder(?, programmer?, code writer?) student, sometimes it just looks greek to me
Why it is case sensitive, WHY
yk im asking the same questions. i dont really see myself as a programmer. im more of a video game designer. i like arts and stuff more
Yeah, I am kind of a modeler myself
But im not in the mood to model anything, burnout my old friend
So I started learning how to code for bedrock again
(Not going too well)
apparently character creator is broken in the latest preview
hopefully it has nothing to do with the loading times being reduced
hopefully the loading times stay reduced by the time we get 1.21 stable
and let it stay broken
😔 but my sister made me a skin using character creator
yeah and it could already vanish due to sync issues or easily accidentally replacing it
or be changed against your will because some skin parts changed for no reason
classic skins just better 🙃
(joking though, as much as I dislike character creator, hope it gets fixed, along with the many other long-standing issues)
Most of the time, my sister goes through the Marketplace looking for random skinpacks to pick a skin from them
that’s what I’d do too lol
before I finally found a skin I liked enough to keep
and lemme tell you how many times character creator has reset my skin
thank god my skin is classic so I can easily find it again, because I wouldn’t be able to stand having a character creator skin just being deleted and having to remake it all over again
have you got it saved in a file though?
also, after a long..long..time i finally made my own skin that could potentially represent me
i haven't had a skin of mine since ages
I they should add a creator skin format and ability to export it
And be able to apply only if you have all of the parts
Oh I see it now. They tried to upgrade it.
what's going on with the bedrock's latest hotfix? The game is not loading any world i create or load any pre existing worlds after enabling a resource pack
Hello guys! Don't know if it's okay to ask it here but whatever 🙂
How's Bedrock Dedicated Server doing now? If I recall correctly, it was easy to hack it 1-2 years ago (does anyone remember how Mojang got their voting server hacked? XD). I wonder, is the situation better now? I heard once they improved something so it's impossible to give items now. Is it true? And are there any other improvements?
it's on windows btw
Already patched.
Exploits like this may still works on local world if you're a hoster. other than that, it's patched now.
So is it safe to say that my server definitely won't be destroyed one day by some flying at the speed of light weirdo in creative mode? 🥴
Yep.
Although it's still good to have some anti-cheat to combat the unpatched exploits like maybe nukers, spammers etc.
but the chance of placing one block and will make everything explode are pretty much patched. (/give exploit on client-side aswell)
Good! Regarding anti-cheats, can you recommend something? I myself saw Rubedo, but I didn't try it (and it seems like the project is deprecated)
That project is already cancelled so idk
anticheat is nowadays as "optional" instead of "required" due to that patch, since then a lot of anticheat creators just vanished. which, well. less stuff.
i haven't seen any dedicated server that has cheaters issues or game-breaking exploits since then, but basic stuff like killaura and stuff are still certainly possible.
there's probably other side that i don't quite know about after leaving dedicated server hosting and stuff.
It's cool that Mojang works on safety. I'd like to see more security patches from them. Still, thanks for your replies ✊
I guess I got to develop anti-killaura by myself. Although I don't have an idea how to do that, but it's always nice to learn (hell nah) 🙃
if(player.hasKillAura()) terminate(player);
you're a lifesaver!
The way that I am doing it is summoning an entity directly behind the player that gets removed after a very short time, and if they manage to hit said entity, then ban them
An interesting approach! Am I right that a spawned entity is invisible?
Yep- invisible, small hitbox, and registered to the player that summoned it
Thanks, I think that's the way ✊
WHERE's THE LINE
Stable day today
We still have 20 minute left
Usually occurs during the .22 week
Not after
It will likely be next week to release at the same time as Java
yeah
No?
what
lmao what
what you you talking about 💀
hmm
eh
What if stable releases tomorrow
Which could probably mean preview is delayed
Until Thursday
Doubt it
then let it happen if there is any
this is anyway the mid-stage, so there would just be preparations for releasing 1.21 update.
yo, what's happening?
Hi
hi
Fire alarm went off during a lecture
Classic ploy trying to see if you were awake.
Hii Kayla 
Hiii Poggy!
So it was you who set up the alarm
Hope you're doing well today :P
I hope you all are doing well as well!
I can say that I am doing well ^^
My brain rn: PLEASE BE A PREVIEW TODAY
I'm sure today's that day
Unfortunately, it's looking like tomorrow.
I'm sure tomorrow's that day
That's fine ^^
no - that isn't what that means
what ☠️
Well a stable version comes a day before a preview
next week
Most of the time
I'm from the future and I can confirm that tomorrow's preview will have a ||changelog||
No
Stable Releases 99% of the time release on Tuesday
Thank you very much for the confirmation.
Veka is truly a goat.
It just so happens that previews are on wednesday
i am from the future too and can confirm veka is ||possibly correct||
I am from the future: ||HCF will come back in a different form||
April Creator Features
featuring un-custom components
Can't wait for hard coded block support
I want a new toggle that will stay forever
Beta APIs
yippee
EDU toggle is not going anywhere
And you can always find the Molang toggle deep in my heart
lol
btw is there a workaround for q.get_nearby_entities? I have an animation that plays based on where a player is relative to the source entity, and am wondering if there's an easy way to do that.
me when "ignored": true
Good Kayla! Whats up
Depends, do you need client player position specifically, or just any nearest player for example? And will camera position also do the trick for you?
It's a specific player that has a skin_id of three.
Sounds like a job for scripting then
The only way I can think of to make it work is to pass the target player's position to the entity via properties
Yeah that's how I'd go about it as well
It'll be a bit delayed but oh well, not much you can do about it
See you all tomorrow
Is the update today
It better be good then thats all I'm saying
What about an entity sensor
Keep expectations low please
They'll launch Minecraft 4 tomorroe
as long as it can pass information to animations, sure
But I do not know if entity sensors can do that
They're announcing the C++ API tomorrow

entity_sensor -> update entity property -> q.property
variant wouldn't work well
Not variant, entity properties are more flexible
I'm triggering the animation from scripts anyways, I'll just set the property in there
flashback to the time I asked for help with q.property and some guy insisted I use skin_id and that that was my problem, nothing else
Currently on a journey of making a stone golem, it's been 3 days...
All I really need is the distance and the angle between the two entities
I was doing it via animations before, and it did work
then they removed get nearby entities and it broke
😔
but ye, scripts should make it possible
Im trying to get more and more into scripting everyday
Vector math 
math is scary
math is fun 👍
sad cici noises
Is the truth
Well there’s gonna be something for deferred this week
Says who?

why would you want cubemap support?
Without math humanity would be cavemen
🤨
Custom sky
I don't think cubemaps handle clouds
I know
But you can put clouds in cubemaps
bleh
math was invented to make putting explosions below rockets legal
real volumetric clouds or nothing
Custom skyboxes is cool and all but that's soemthing I'd rather have later down the road
Well mojang said there’s currently no plans for better clouds
It's that simple, some explosions below a big metalic transport, boom, rocket
I'd rather have main graphical upgrades and features first then more small fun things like that
So cubemaps will be the only way for now
read my message again, if the clouds aren't supposed to be real, I'd rather not have them at all than have them fake 2D
I thought they said they didn't have anything to share on clouds yet. Not no plans
There are cubemaps that try to make them look the best tho
The clouds will probably look like rtx clouds
And that I'm ok with
Minus the uh... texture problems
I mean I'd rather have nostalgia style clouds but if they wanna keep it vanilla that's not a terrible option
we live in 2024, volumetric clouds are standard for me
What did I miss-? 👀
first of all, I don't think that's the case (but even if it is, what's wrong with it?! not everyone has to want realistic clouds)
secondly, the developers never said anything like that, they said they had nothing to share, which may mean they haven't thought about this yet or many other things bruh
The most we can do is just speculate
I do wonder how they'd approach volumetric clouds
I wouldn't mind something like complementary reimagined or nostalgia
Yes if we didn't have RTX style I wouldn't mind those
More importantly, how customizable could it be?
Maybe there are people that would want more realistic clouds so how would that be approached if they decide to add that?
yeah?
different layers would be cool
or may be a custom geo/cloud model that is variated in size?
They sound like they put in a lot of detail for water. I'd expect the same for clouds. Maybe we could pass in stuff like a density map That scrolls along the world
We could then specify parameters like noisiness and layers
I think that if they went for this style, they could give the option to change clouds size, clouds height, number of cloud layers and the shape (thickness, how rounded the edges are, etc.)
They could either make a "classic" and "realistic" mode, or a system that works for both
Density map would be awesome for just general VL fog as well
Uniform density <<< noise based density
wind in mc please
except for the layers and noisiness and random sizing for cloud shape
size, height/thickness and shape can be a model
we could also have different models based on biomes/locations
I think a texture defining all that can suffice
It also means it could dynamically change shape with weather for instance
I don't know how that works but if it's dynamic yes
There's a paper that outlines this. Lemme find it real quick
Yeah I would like that too
Especially double layer clouds
I implemented it before. Quite robust IMO
you said you don't want normal clouds
I meant the kind that’s in rtx
And they are normal clouds, just with rounded edges
why would deferred have rtx clouds?
Idk
it does not make sense
thanks
gonna read it while waiting for new preview
I'm holding tight to my papers!
Aaayy!
If I were in charge of clouds, I'd make it so that you can customize the classic clouds with the same texture as we already have + inside a json file to define wind speed, number of layers, maximum density, etc...
For realistic clouds, you specify a different texture for cloud density and shape.
vibing with new music i have been listening whole day
hi
where preview?
i ate it
I ate the preview but don't worry I will free it again tomorrow
no problem when the preview will be still delicius tomorrow
update day?
no
https://github.com/Mojang/minecraft-editor/discussions/171 Definitely tomorrow then
Editor mode devs didn't get the memo:
"Todays preview has delayed by Thomas once again" 😪
Rare Minecraft news W
I wonder if there's a scale of accuracy to usefulness for minecraft news. As it's right, but not really useful as a Twitter post
Anything remotely useful gets an instant -75% accuracy
gasp!
WHAT
I've been on holiday and I'm still getting blamed!
You're on holiday? How is it ever going to get released!?
That is why it is delayed. You forgot to press the big red launch button! 😤
we should definitely blame @languid tinsel for that
🤫 Don't tell them, so they'll do it again
Nice
getting closer to the release
Is 1.20.50 for the preview
Is there supposed to be a minecraft preview update today
Is there new defferd features confirmed
We'll see
no but likely
Happy preview day
Aaja confirmed something “exciting” is coming this week
happy preview day x69
good day
hello
just starting my day early is all
Good morning.

hi
Can't wait, fingers crossed
Me too
If they release it at 11 then 26 more minutes for me
